With her spatial ability to raise beast husbands, the wicked female becomes the darling of the group

Chapter 544 Sadness
Wen Nanxi also felt that Xie Xiaochi's father should know some of the secrets of the Xie family head.

Otherwise, the Xie family head would not have been so ruthless in exterminating them.

"Xie Xiaochi said that his father left, which means that his father may have guessed something or learned some secret, and left in advance."

"But given the Xie family head's style and approach, he won't let him live."

"Just like Xie Guixue's father."

Su Muyao understood this as well. "Indeed, the Xie family head plotted against Xie Guixue's father back then, but the Ice and Snow Spirit Beasts are not ordinary beastmen. They possess secret techniques that allow them to survive."

"So much so that when Xie Guixue's father, Nalan Ling, arranged for people to bring Xie Guixue back to the Nalan family on the Azure Beast Continent, the Xie family head didn't even dare to resist. Faced with such a powerful force, she could only give up on Xie Guixue."

"Moreover, if it weren't for Xie Guixue, given her previous scheming against Nalan Ling, the Nalan family might not have let her go."

"Therefore, in the matter of Xie Guixue, the Xie family head voluntarily gave up on him."

"Faced with such a powerful figure, she wouldn't dare to monopolize and control Xie Guixue."

As she said this, Su Muyao's lips curled into a sarcastic smile.

Back then, when Xie family head faced her, he felt that she had no background and no strength, so he could force her however he wanted.

Wen Nanxi now roughly understands what happened between his wife and Xie Guixue back then.

She still remembered when she went to Xie Guixue's villa with Xie Guixue, and on the way back, they were surrounded and attacked by so many orcs.

That ambush also seems to be related to the Xie family.

Wen Nanxi realized this and felt even more sorry for Su Muyao.

He reached out and gently smoothed her hair, saying softly, "Don't think about these things now, let's eat first."

Su Muyao nodded.

Just as the two were about to eat, the military command brought Xie Xiaochi back.

The commander of the military headquarters also explained the interrogation to Su Muyao.

“Your Highness, the Xie family head refuses to say anything or give any explanation. Without evidence, the Military Command cannot rashly torture her.”

Since the Xie family head is, after all, the head of the Xie clan, it would have a very bad impact if the military command rashly took action.

Children's words cannot be used as complete evidence under the laws of the Dongning Beast Kingdom.

"Moreover, the Xie family is currently causing trouble outside the Military Command. Without solid evidence, we cannot continue to detain the head of the Xie family."

Su Muyao said, "Wait a moment."

"Evidence will be available soon."

"And there are also people from the Xie family causing trouble. We can arrest them and interrogate them to see if we can find out anything about the Xie family's internal affairs."

"But you should handle these matters personally and not let anyone else know."

The Xie family head is probably a dark beastman. She and her grandmother both know this, and for Xie Guixue's sake, they are willing to turn a blind eye.

However, if the Xie family head is plotting some grand conspiracy, then we cannot tolerate it.

After Su Muyao finished speaking with the commander of the military command, the commander ordered his men to bring Xie Xiaochi in.

"elder sister!"

When Xie Xiaochi saw Su Muyao, her eyes lit up instantly, and she ran towards Su Muyao.

He seemed to want to hug Su Muyao's leg, but realizing it was inappropriate, he stood still in front of her.

Su Muyao could sense Xie Xiaochi's sensitivity and vulnerability.

His thoughtfulness reminded Su Muyao of Xie Guixue, and also of her two children.

Although the mermaid cub was still in the egg stage, she had a fox cub.

So when I see cute and sensible children, my heart always softens.

She crouched down and touched Xie Xiaochi's hair, saying, "Are you hungry? Let's go eat with your sister first."

Wen Nanxi's cooking skills are quite good now.

She also really enjoys the food Wen Nanxi cooks; it suits her taste perfectly.

Xie Xiaochi's eyes lit up, and she said, "Thank you, sister."

"you are very welcome."

As Su Muyao spoke, she took his little hand and led him to the kitchen. Xie Xiaochi obediently let Su Muyao hold his hand, looked up at Su Muyao and said, "Sister, I have a small appetite and can eat very little."

For some reason, Su Muyao felt a pang of sadness upon hearing these words.

"You are still young and growing. You need to eat more, not less."

"Your true form is a lion-beastman; you need to eat more to have strength."

"Besides, your sister's house has plenty of food, so feel free to eat whatever you want."

The Xie family was originally a leading aristocratic family, belonging to the first tier of powerful clans in the Dongning Beast Kingdom. Logically speaking, even if the Xie family head treated his own beast husband badly, he shouldn't have mistreated Xie Xiaochi.

I don't know what he's been through at home; he looks very thin.

When they arrived at the kitchen room, the table was covered with food.

There were vegetables, soup, and dumplings.

The dumplings were the same ones that Su Muyao taught Wen Nanxi and the others to make.

Wen Nanxi possesses supernatural abilities, and now she cooks very quickly, especially when cutting meat and making dumplings; she's become even faster with practice.

When they sat down to eat, Wen Nanxi served soup to Su Muyao and Xie Xiaochi as well; it was seaweed and tomato dumpling soup.

When Su Muyao and Wen Nanxi started eating, Xie Xiaochi didn't know which one to eat.

He held the chopsticks somewhat awkwardly.

Su Muyao took a bite of the dumpling and thought it was delicious.

When she saw that Xie Xiaochi hadn't moved much, she took an empty bowl from the side and put some dumplings and vegetables on Xie Xiaochi's plate, saying, "Eat more."

"Eat more and gain more weight, your father will be happy to see you when he comes back."

Hearing this, Xie Xiaochi began to eat seriously.

He ate quietly and slowly; despite his small size, she could see an air of elegance in him.

And there's absolutely no noise when they eat.

It's clear that she was well-educated at home.

And surprisingly, he wasn't picky about food; he would eat whatever was put in his bowl.

Eat whatever you like.

Xie Xiaochi pointed at the dumplings and said, "These are delicious."

"I've never eaten this before."

He really loves to eat it, it's so delicious.

Su Muyao added some more for him.

Xie Xiaochi ate them all.

Su Muyao looked at Wen Nanxi questioningly, worried that she might overeat, as she had no experience with children eating this much.

Wen Nanxi smiled and said, "It's alright. He's a lion-beastman, so he needs to eat more. He won't get too full."

Fortunately, he prepared extra food, enough for the three of them.

Although he is Xie Guixue's younger brother and they are competitors, Wen Nanxi's mentality is to extend that affection to those his wife is willing to care for, and he is also willing to genuinely care for those his wife is willing to care for.

After finishing their meal, on their way back, Xie Xiaochi quietly said to Su Muyao, "Sister, you're so kind, I like you so much. I can imagine that brother must like you a lot too."

He didn't understand why his mother wanted to separate his sister and brother.

Thinking of Xie Guixue, Su Muyao felt a sense of loss.

"I don't know, I just can't find your brother right now."

Xie Xiaochi blinked and whispered, "Sister, actually I dreamed about brother before."

"My brother told me that if I was unhappy or depressed at home, I should leave the Xie family with my father."

"That's why I mustered up the courage to leave with my father, only to find that he was gone."

Upon hearing these words, Su Muyao was shocked and could hardly believe it.

Although she was somewhat shocked, she felt that what Xie Xiaochi said might be true.

Because she had met Xie Guixue in her dreams before, when he was Nalan Guixue, or when he had lost his memory.
