Chapter 401: Money is earned to be enjoyed   "Just a few hundred thousand taels?" Mrs. Gao was stunned. "How old is that girl? Even if she is a genius doctor, she can't take out so much at once, right?"   She has worked hard all her life and only saved this little. In the end, it is just "nothing" to her. This is really frustrating.   "What do you know?" Mother Qi pointed to the opposite side and said, "When you came, did you see the rouge shop opposite?"   Mrs. Gao shook her head and said, "I didn't notice it."   "That's the rouge shop opened by that girl. Their daily income is equal to our income in half a lifetime."   Mrs. Gao felt that she was exaggerating a little, and couldn't help laughing, "How much can that small rouge shop sell for?"   Mother Qi smiled and said, "Let alone that magic medicine, a small bottle costs two hundred thousand taels, and the beauty cream and lip balm, a box is at least fifty to a hundred taels, which is several times more expensive than selling a human head."   "Oh my God!" Mrs. Gao was shocked, "Two hundred thousand taels, can this be sold?"   "Why not?" Mother Qi sighed lightly, "Didn't I buy a bottle yesterday?"   "You bought it?" Mrs. Gao clicked her tongue a few times, "You are really willing to spend."   "That's because you don't know." Mother Qi said, "The two girls from the Zhao family and the Mu family had their faces rotten because they were poisoned. Miss Tang used a needle to prick the pus, and then applied the magic medicine. In just a short while, her face was completely healed, without any flaws. Don't you think it's magical?"   "Is it true?" Mrs. Gao was half-believing and half-doubting.   "You don't believe it?" Mother Qi smiled slightly, "Then wait."   She got up and went upstairs. After a while, she came down with a knife and a small bottle of something.   "What are you going to do?" Mrs. Gao looked puzzled.   "Just watch." Mother Qi smiled, picked up the knife, and scratched her palm. The blade was sharp and blood came out instantly.   Mrs. Gao looked at her in horror, "Are you crazy?"   That was her own hand, and she felt pain just looking at it.   Mother Qi calmly put down the knife, picked up the small porcelain bottle, unplugged the bottle with her mouth, carefully dripped a few drops of spiritual spring water on the wound, and then wiped the blood stains on it with a handkerchief.   She turned her palm towards Mrs. Gao, smiled and said, "Look."   "Oh my God!" Mrs. Gao suddenly grabbed her hand, looked around, full of disbelief, "This... this is too magical, right?"   "Now do you believe that someone has bought it?" Mother Qi smiled, "If I wasn't broke, I would want to buy a few more bottles and keep them as a backup."   She touched her face, with a smile on her lips, and said, "There were still many fine lines on my face yesterday, but after just one application, the fine lines on my face have faded a lot. How could no one buy such a magical medicine?"   Mrs. Gao shook her head, "Even if it's a magical medicine, I can't bear to buy it."   This cost her two hundred thousand taels, and she couldn't bear to part with it.   "That's you!" Mother Qi put away the small porcelain bottle, a hint of disdain flashed in her eyes, and said: "This money is earned to enjoy it. If you hide it, what's the point of earning it? You can't take it with you when you die."   "You are talking without any pain in your waist." Mrs. Gao snorted coldly, "The girls in your building are all very beautiful, and the men outside are eager to move mountains of gold and silver to you. Naturally, you don't care about money."   "Don't say that." Mother Qi said: "It cost me a lot of money to buy this building, and I haven't recovered it yet."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 402 A prophecy comes true.   Mrs. Gao stuffed a piece of dessert into her mouth and said vaguely, "Isn't it just a matter of time?"   "Your doubts have been solved. Do you have anything else to ask?" Mother Qi asked.   "No." Mrs. Gao wrapped a few desserts with a handkerchief, wiped her mouth and smiled, "Thank you for solving my doubts today. I won't stay any longer."   After that, she stood up and left.   Mother Qi rolled her eyes at her back, "This old thing, after eating, he didn't forget to pack it up and take it away, and he wasn't afraid of choking."   "Mom, I haven't seen Miss Yanzhi all day today."   A little maid came down the stairs with a pale face.   "Wasn't she still here at 4 p.m. yesterday?" Mother Qi frowned. "How could a good person disappear out of thin air?"   The maid said nervously, "I went to her room just now and found that all her luggage was gone."   "What?" Mother Qi frowned. "Could this little girl have eloped with some wild man?"   "She disappeared last night." The other girls came down one after another.   Mother Qi asked one of the girls, "Yuelan, you have a good relationship with her. Tell me, has there been anything wrong with her recently?"   "No?" Miss Yuelan frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "I didn't notice anything wrong."   The maid said, "Yesterday, a girl who claimed to be her distant relative came to see her. The girl left after a short while. Since then, Miss Yanzhi has never gone out again." Mother   Qi snorted coldly, "This little bitch, she sold herself in before, she can't be regretting it?"   A girl advised, "If she runs away, then she runs away. With her personality, keeping her here will only bring trouble to you, mother."   "That's right!" The others echoed, "In terms of piano skills, she is not as good as Yuelan, and in terms of appearance, she is not as good as Mudan. She doesn't want to sell herself, what's the point of keeping her?"   "You are right." Mother Qi nodded, "Well, she can go wherever she wants, as long as she doesn't die in our Yanchun Tower."   Mother Qi said it casually, but she didn't expect it to come true.   In the middle of the night, Yanzhi's body was suddenly sent back to Yanchun Tower.   Because of the tragic death, the girls and guests in the building were all shocked.   Mother Qi hurriedly asked someone to report to the police. At this time, Xie Cheng and Tang Xi, who had just returned from the house and were about to return to the inn, heard about this.   Mo Yi rushed over with a group of yamen runners, carried the body downstairs, and Yanchun Tower was temporarily sealed off.   Because the body suddenly appeared in Yanzhi's room, all the people in the building, including the guests, were kept.   For a while, the onlookers were very angry when they saw their spouses being locked up in the building.   Some even said bluntly that their other half was the murderer and asked the yamen runners to take the person away, which made the audience scared and funny.   When Xie Cheng and Tang Xi arrived, the yamen runners were about to move the body away.   "Master, Miss Tang."   Mo Yi stepped forward and bowed to the two of them.   The two nodded slightly.   "What's going on?" Xie Cheng asked.   Mo Yi said, "It was Miss Rouge from the building. I heard that she had not been seen since last night, but was just found dead in her room."   The body was covered with a black cloth. Xie Cheng stepped forward to lift the cloth and took a look, then frowned slightly.   Tang Xi was also surprised after seeing it.   Although the girl's lips were black, it could be seen that she was one of the girls who went to the Rouge Shop to buy rouge yesterday.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 403 Poisoned to death   "City Lord, you're just in time!" Mother Qi stepped forward in a panic and said, "We really don't know about this. She disappeared yesterday, and suddenly died in her own room today. The girls in the building can testify to it."   Xie Cheng said calmly, "She was poisoned to death. Her body was cold and stiff, and there was snow water on it. She must have been buried in the snow and frozen."   "Poisoned to death?" Mother Qi was shocked, "Who is so vicious?"   "Mom, what should we do?" Mudan's face turned pale and said, "Someone died in our building. Will anyone come here in the future?" "   Don't worry, she didn't die in our building. Didn't you hear what the city lord said? Yanzhi was let in after she died."   Mother Qi's voice was very loud, and most people heard it.   This person died, and everyone was a little panicked, and didn't know what to say for a while.   Mo Yi asked Mama Qi, "Where is this Miss Yanzhi from?"   Mama Qi shook her head, "I don't know, she just came to Yanchun Tower not long ago, and she came in on her own."   Mo Yi frowned, "You mean, she came in voluntarily?"   "Yes!" Mama Qi nodded.   The maid who usually served Yanzhi wiped her tears and said, "A relative came to see her yesterday, also a girl. I heard Miss Yanzhi calling her Sister Furong outside the door."   "What else did you hear?" Mo Yi looked at the maid and asked.   The maid shook her head, "Because Miss Yanzhi asked me to leave, I didn't dare to get too close. I only heard something about the master's antidote."   "Master, antidote?" Xie Cheng seemed to remember something, and said in a light voice, "Search her body." Mo   Yi understood, looked at Mama Qi and said, "Go search her body."   "Search... search her?" Mama Qi widened her eyes, "Isn't this bad? After all, the dead are the greatest."   Mainly because she didn't dare to touch the corpse.   Tang Xi said calmly, "Let me do it."   After she said that, she went forward and fumbled around, and finally, she found a purse from Yanzhi.   When she opened it, she saw that in addition to a few banknotes, there were also a few packages of things wrapped in paper.   Tang Xi handed the things to Xie Cheng.   Mo Yi said, "The banknotes are still there, proving that it's not a robbery."   Xie Cheng opened one of the packages and immediately said calmly, "It's Cui Ling powder."   "Cui Ling powder?" Mother Qi was stunned, "Isn't this the poison that disfigured those girls?"   "That's right." Xie Cheng said calmly, "She should have worked for someone and was silenced in the end."   He looked at Mo Yi and said, "Carry the body away."   "Yes!"   After Mo Yi agreed, he called the yamen runners to carry the body away.   "Then do we still need to close our Yanchun Tower?" Mother Qi asked.   Xie Cheng said calmly: "Let's lock it up for a few days first."   "This... has nothing to do with us."   "It's better to close it!" Someone snorted: "Another person died in such an indecent place, and they still want to keep it open. Aren't they afraid of attracting unclean things?"   "How can you talk like that?" Mother Qi glared, "We didn't kill the person. Even if she wanted revenge, she shouldn't have come to us."   She was also very puzzled. She didn't know which pervert it was. It would be fine if he killed someone, but he also dumped the body in her building. Isn't this deliberately going against her?   Someone sneered: "Who knows? Maybe one of you is the murderer?"   "Didn't you hear what City Lord Xie said? She was killed while doing something for someone else." Mother Qi was so angry that her chest heaved.   Someone muttered: "This is just speculation. We don't know what the truth is."   Having said that, not many people would care about the death of a brothel girl.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 404 Believe it or not   The corpse was moved away, and the crowd soon dispersed.   The guests in the building also went back to their homes, and Tang Xi and Xie Cheng also returned to the inn.   "The sister Furong mentioned by the maid, is she the one you pretended to be?" Xie Cheng asked in a calm voice.   "That's right!" Tang Xi nodded, "The death of this Yanzhi girl should be related to Lu Yue. She must have seen me following Furong that day, so she wanted to go back and expose me."   "If you fail in your work, there is only one way to go, and there is only one way to die." Xie Cheng said in a calm voice: "If she didn't go back that day, maybe she would have a glimmer of hope."   "But, you said, those people killed someone, why didn't they deal with the body, but brought the body into Yanchun Tower?" Tang Xi was very curious.   Xie Cheng said in a calm voice: "Either it's a prank, or they have a grudge against Yanchun Tower."   "Then do we still need to investigate this matter?"   "Do we still need to investigate this?" Xie Cheng smiled calmly, "It's obvious who did it."   The master killed his own men, what is there to investigate?   What's more, the deceased was the same as her master, birds of a feather.   Tang Xi glanced at him and said in a calm voice: "Have you told City Lord Chen about Fanghua addiction?"   "I have sent a letter."   "Do you think he will believe you?" Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and asked.   Xie Cheng smiled lightly, "It's up to him whether he believes it or not. Anyway, I have said everything I should say."   Tang Xi curled her lips, shook her head and sighed: "You said, you can obviously talk about the matter openly, why do you torture each other?"   "Torture?" Xie Cheng raised his starry eyes slightly, "I don't think so."   Chen Luo can live to this day with a clear conscience, probably thanks to his concealment.   If he knew the truth, he would probably be ashamed, not only that, he might not even step into the gate of Hanshui City again in the future.   "What do you think?" She raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile.   He smiled slightly, "He lives with a clear conscience, and I live with a clear conscience, which is good."   No matter what the outcome is, it is a fact that he killed Chen Jiang in front of Chen Luo. Even if Chen Luo knew the truth, he would definitely still have a knot in his heart.   "Let's not talk about the old   days." He smiled, stared at her and asked, "When will you come back with me to the Xie Mansion?" "The New Year is just a few days away, and I have to ask them to clean the new house. Let's talk about it later."   "You don't have to clean it." He raised his eyebrows, "The indenture contract is in your hands, are you afraid that they will not obey?" "   Then... I will go with you tomorrow?"   "Okay!" He nodded, "How about, go back to stay tonight? Grandmother said that she hasn't had the medicinal porridge you cooked for a long time, and she missed it very much."   "Really?" She raised her eyebrows and squinted her eyes and said, "Don't you want to eat it yourself?"   I want to eat it too!" He nodded in agreement without hesitation, "So, do you want to go back to the Xie Mansion?"   "Wouldn't it be the same if we go there tomorrow morning?"   "I may be too late if we go there tomorrow morning. You see, breakfast has to be prepared early in the morning. It will take us at least a quarter of an hour to get back to the Xie Mansion from here."   "Then get up early! "She yawned and said, "It's getting late. I'm going to bed first."   Since she came to this world, her sleep time has been advanced a lot.   If it was in the previous life, she might still be watching the drama now.   She just went back to the couch and lay down, turned her head and looked at him and asked, "You can't stay in the inn with me like this forever, right?"   He spread his hands and said innocently, "I can't help it. Who told me that this city lord is a man who keeps his promises?"   "Tsk~" She rolled her eyes at him, pulled the quilt over him, closed her eyes and reminded him, "Turn off the lights and go to bed."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 405 Moon in the Snow   "It's clear now."   Xie Cheng had just turned off the lights, and suddenly he looked out the window and said in   a low voice. Tang Xi opened her eyes, and sure enough, the room was still bright.   She looked toward the window, and saw the clear light pouring in through the rice paper.   "Have you ever admired the moon in the snow?" Xie Cheng asked as he sat in front of the couch.   "No."   She had lived in the south in her previous life, and it was rare to see snow in her city. She   went to college in Kyoto, and although it snowed in Kyoto, she had never admired the moon in the snow.   After all, on such a cold day, everyone just wanted to get back to bed as soon as possible. Who would go out and suffer for no reason?   Xie Cheng stood up and opened the window, and the window was instantly as bright as day.   Tang Xi got up and walked over with her shoes on.   Outside, the clear light reflected on the white snow, and the coldness softened a bit.   The shadows of the trees in the backyard of the inn were swaying, and the cold wind blew past, and the snow fell.   Xie Cheng had walked around behind her without her knowing, and put his arms around her slender waist, leaning his head lightly on hers, without saying a word.   She was stunned for a moment, then smiled, continued to look up at the full moon in the sky, and asked in a light voice: "Do you want to drink?"   She didn't know if it was her illusion, she felt that Xie Cheng seemed to have a sense of sadness.   "The pub may be closed at this time." The low and hoarse voice echoed in her ears.   She opened the big hands around her waist, turned around, leaned against the window and looked at him and said: "If you want to tell a story, I am happy to listen."   Xie Cheng was stunned, looking at her in silence.   He thought he had hidden it well, but he didn't expect that the little girl was so sensitive.   "Nothing!" He stretched out his hands to hug her, and said calmly: "I just think of my father and mother."   He looked up at the bright moon outside the window, and said calmly: "When I was young, as soon as the moon came out in the snow, my father had people set up fine wine and cakes in the pavilion, and then took my mother and my sister and brother, and... Aunt Yan to watch the moon together."   He smiled and continued calmly: "At that time, the years were peaceful, the relatives were all there, the uncle was kind, Aunt Yan was still there, Chen Luo and I were still good friends who could talk about anything, and my mother once joked that she would marry my sister to Chen Luo."   Speaking of this, Tang Xi suddenly remembered the conversation she heard between her and Furong at Lu Yue's place.   "So, does City Lord Chen like the Crown Prince's Consort?"   She didn't ask Xie Cheng about this yesterday because she was afraid that it would be inappropriate.   "Yeah." He said in a calm voice: "At that time, Chen Luo, in order to please his sister, ran thousands of miles to the countryside to dig mud, just because his sister said she wanted a mud man."   "What about the prince's wife? How does she treat Chen Luo?"   If they are in love, it would be a pity.   Xie Cheng chuckled, "Sister treats him the same as me, what do you think?"   "So, the prince's wife only treats him as a younger brother?" Tang Xi smiled, "No wonder the prince can get the beauty."   Xie Cheng smiled without saying anything.   "By the way, have you informed the emperor about the matter of Deputy General Yao?"   After a long silence, she asked.   "Although those pirates told the truth, there is no evidence after all, and people are still secretly watching the movements of King Anyang. He seems to have sent people to Xingyue Wharf to salvage things recently, probably to salvage the things on the ship."   "You mean, King Anyang sent people to Xingyue Wharf to salvage things?" Tang Xi blinked, "Is there anything else on it?" "   I heard that there are a lot of jewels and hundreds of taels of Canglan Kingdom's general silver notes. It seems that some people in Xinyi Kingdom want to transport things to Canglan Kingdom, exchange them for silver, and then transport them back."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 406: Fortunately, we are not enemies of each other.   Tang Xi wanted to laugh after hearing this, but she still pretended to be surprised and widened her eyes, "Really? Did they get it?"   Xie Cheng curled his lips and said with a smile, "I think they will never get it."   "Why do you think so?" She blinked, "As the saying goes, where there is a will, there is a way. Maybe if they persist, they can get it?"   "If you can restrain your gloating expression a little bit, I might believe that they can get those things back."   "You know everything?" Tang Xi was surprised.   She remembered that when she put the things into the space, he was still lying in the space.   Xie Cheng smiled faintly, "From the moment you distributed the banknotes to the village chief and Captain Cheng, I knew that those things might have been taken by you."   "Why do you doubt it?" She raised her eyebrows slightly, "Those things are not small. If I took them, where could I hide them?"   "I was also confused at the time, but since you conjured up the Qianye Sword out of thin air, I am sure that those things have been taken by you."   "You are so smart!" Tang Xi smiled and said, "Fortunately, you are my person, not my enemy, otherwise, I will find ways to get rid of you."   He chuckled, lowered his head and placed a light kiss on her cheek, and said in a hoarse voice, "I am also very glad that I am your person, not your enemy!"   The two smiled at each other.   She yawned and said sleepily, "Don't you have to wake up early tomorrow morning? Go to sleep!"   "Okay!"   He leaned forward, passed her with both hands, and closed the window. The action was done in one go. Before she could react, she was pulled towards the bed.   ............   The next day, Xie Mansion.   "Sure enough, the porridge cooked by the little girl is still delicious." Old Master Xie picked up two small dried fishes and said with a smile: "It's more delicious with these dried fishes!"   Tang Xi smiled slightly, "Then you should eat more!"   "You should eat more too, ah!" Old Lady Xie said with a smile: "I heard from Acheng that you went to Lianhua Town to pick up your grandparents?"   "Yes!" Tang Xi nodded, "But they have returned to the village to live. I will take them back to the town on New Year's Eve."   This year she planned to let everyone in the family move back to the town to celebrate the New Year.   "That's good!" Old Master Xie said with a smile: "If they don't have anyone to talk to, let them come to Xie's house, or we can go over and have tea with them."   Xie Cheng looked at Tang Xi when he heard this, but saw her smiling and said: "Okay, I'll tell them when they come back."   After hearing this, the two elders smiled even more.   After breakfast, Tang Xi was about to find an excuse to leave, but couldn't resist the two elders' repeated requests.   "Sit for a while!" Old Lady Xie said, "I haven't seen you for several months. I miss you so much. Come and talk to me for a while before leaving, okay?"   "Then... OK!" She nodded hesitantly.   Xie Cheng was taken away by Old Master Xie, saying that there was something to discuss.   Tang Xi had no choice but to stay and talk to the old lady and Nanny Jiang.   At this time, in the study, Old Master Xie looked at Xie Cheng with a serious expression.   "Acheng, you have to let someone quietly inform King Sangyu about this and let him pay more attention to it."   "I know!" Xie Cheng said in a light voice, "My grandson has already asked someone to write a letter to King Sangyu, but the journey is long and I'm afraid he won't be able to arrive for a while."   "Alas--"   Old Master Xie sighed, "My grandfather did see this Deputy General Yao once. He often followed King Sangyu. At that time, His Majesty praised King Sangyu for being lucky enough to have a good deputy general. I didn't expect him to be a spy from another country."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 407: The Naughty Young   Master The reason why Deputy General Yao was able to stand out was because he blocked an arrow for King Sangyu on the battlefield, and he almost lost his life for it.   It was also because of this that King Sangyu trusted him so much and let him accompany him.   No one would have thought that the person who had blocked the knife and arrow for you would stab you in the back.   "King Sangyu trusts him so much, and my grandson is afraid that this letter will alert the enemy and even cause trouble, so I can only send the letter anonymously. As for whether he believes it or not, it depends on him."   If King Sangyu doesn't believe it, if something happens in the future, he may also be implicated.   "Your decision is correct." Old Master Xie said, "Although anonymity reduces trust, King Sangyu will definitely be suspicious of Deputy General Yao."   Xie Cheng nodded, "My grandson thinks so too!"   Whether King Sangyu believes it or not, there will be some suspicion.   Once people become suspicious, they will want to know whether the matter is true. Whether it is to prove the innocence of Deputy General Yao or to prove something, King Sangyu will ask people to check.   King Sangyu is a smart man. As long as he finds some clues, Deputy General Yao will definitely lose his trust.   So far, the only person who can be confirmed to be related to Deputy General Yao is King Anyang. Perhaps there are other people, but he has not yet found out.   "Although our Canglan Kingdom is small, it is not easy to bully." Old Master Xie said in a sonorous voice: "You have to handle this matter well, don't let the tragedy happen again."   When Emperor Xuan died, the new emperor took office. The country was named Canglan. Later, because of war, the originally vast Canglan was divided into two halves. One half was still the original Canglan Kingdom, and the other half was the current Xinyi Kingdom.   Speaking of which, the royal families of these two countries are still blood relatives.   The current emperor of Xinyi Kingdom is the cousin of the current emperor of Canglan Kingdom.   However, this relationship may not be restored. After all, the two countries have fought several wars since their establishment, and the last bit of family affection has long faded.   The scene of the people being displaced because of the war is still vivid in the minds of Old Master Xie, who witnessed the tragedy with his own eyes.   "Grandfather, don't worry. There are so many soldiers in Canglan Country. Nothing will happen."   Today's Canglan Country is not as fragile as it was in the past. If Xinyi Country still wants to swallow up Canglan Country's territory, they will take Xinyi Country back as well.   "Yeah!" Old Master Xie nodded, "Recently, has King Anyang made any moves?"   Xie Cheng shook his head, "It seems that there has been no action recently, but..."   "But what?"   Seeing him pause, Old Master Xie couldn't help but ask.   "I heard from Sao... Hua Xuan that Prince Anyang seems to have a connection with the left protector of the Poison Sect."   "Sao Hua Xuan?" Old Master Xie blinked and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Who is this Sao Young Master?"   "Ahem--"   Xie Cheng coughed lightly and said in a light voice, "It's Hua Xuan, the Young Palace Master of the Poison Sect."   "Oh, so you wanted to say the Young Palace Master. Then please finish your sentence. Grandfather thought that the person's surname was Sao." Old Master Xie twirled his beard and said with a smile, "I said that there is no family with the surname Sao in our Hanshui City."   "No!" He frowned slightly, "How do you know the Young Palace Master of the Poison Sect?"   Xie Cheng explained, "He is a friend of Feng Ruoqian, the Young Palace Master of the Medical Sect. My grandson and Feng Ruoqian are old acquaintances."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 408 Once Old Friends   "Since he is the young master of the Poison Sect, why would he betray his own people?" Old Master Xie had a questioning look on his face.   Xie Cheng said, "It is said that the left protector has ulterior motives towards the Poison Sect."   "Alas!" Old Master Xie shook his head, "Once this person has some ability, he will have more ideas."   He looked up at Xie Cheng and asked in surprise, "Are you saying that the young master of the Poison Sect and the young master of the Medical Sect are friends?"   "Yes." Xie Cheng nodded slightly.   "Really?" Old Master Xie was surprised, "People from these two sects can be friends? This is something I have never seen before."   "I have never seen before?" Xie Cheng was instantly interested when he heard this description, "Grandfather, what kind of grudges did these two sects have? Isn't it said that the Poison Sect and the Medical Sect are one family? Even if they are in opposition, it shouldn't be like this, right?" "   That's because you young people don't understand." Old Master Xie laughed and said, "These two sects used to be old friends."   "If they are old friends, why did it become like this today?" Xie Cheng asked curiously.   "It's a long story." Old Master Xie twirled his beard and said, "In the past, that is, our generation, the two sects were old friends, so they wanted to strengthen the relationship. The young palace master of the Poison Sect was interested in the young palace master of the Medical Sect. Who knew that the young palace master of the Medical Sect already had a favorite girl, and he ran away with his sweetheart on the wedding day, causing the Poison Sect to lose face, and the people of the Medical Sect were also very embarrassed."   At this point, Old Master Xie smiled and continued, "From then on, the two sects no longer had any contact. Later, when the palace masters of the two sects took office, the two sects became enemies directly. Over time, the younger generations of the two sects also disliked each other." "   I see!" Xie Cheng nodded in sudden realization, then frowned and said, "The young palace master of the Medical Sect is Feng Ruoqian's grandfather?"   "That's right." Old Master Xie smiled. "Come to think of it, Feng Ge once became a rare romantic figure in the world because of his escape from marriage."   Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows. "He has been teased a lot, right?"   "Indeed." Old Master Xie said, "At that time, even the streets and alleys of our Hanshui City had heard of this. After all, Hua Dai, the young master of the Poison Sect, was a rare beauty at the time. Many young talents wanted her but could not get her. However, Feng Ge escaped from marriage and married a plain-looking woman. Many people teased him, saying that he didn't cherish the beautiful woman in front of him and insisted on marrying that plain girl."   After the old man finished speaking, he pondered and said, "As for Feng Ge, although he acted a little rashly, he was also a man of affection and righteousness."   Xie Cheng seemed to remember something and suddenly smiled.   "What are you laughing at?" Old Master Xie raised his eyebrows, "You don't agree with what your grandfather said?"   "No!" Xie Cheng coughed lightly, shook his head slightly and said, "You are right, this man is indeed very loyal and righteous, and it is fortunate that he made such a decision at that time."   If Feng Ruoqian's grandfather was with that Hua Dai, would there still be Feng Ruoqian and Hua Xuan?   Even if there were, they could only be relatives.   "Really?" Old Master Xie smiled and nodded, "At that time, everyone was only concerned about the beauty being abandoned, but ignored this side of Feng Ge."   "However, it is surprising that their descendants can make friends again."   After all, the grudges are there, and it is indeed rare to be able to become friends.   "By the way!" Old Master Xie seemed to remember something, and asked hurriedly: "I heard that A Luo has been to Hanshui City, is he still there?"   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 409 Returning to his original nature   Speaking of Chen Luo, Xie Cheng's expression instantly calmed down a bit, and he said in a light voice: "Maybe he went back."   "Really?" Old Master Xie showed regret, "This child has not been to our Xie Mansion for a long time, and I don't know how he is doing."   The old man is a clear-headed person. Although it was Chen Jiang's fault back then, he also clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment, and knew that Chen Luo was innocent, so he still cared about this child for so many years.   After all, Xie Cheng still has the two old people and Xie Ling, but Chen Luo really has no relatives.   "He should be doing well."   At least he didn't look thin.   "Alas..." Old Master Xie sighed, "You guys, this shouldn't have happened. Why do you want to hide it from him?"   Xie Cheng said calmly, "This is what I promised Aunt Yan. She's gone, I can't break my promise."   "The person is gone, what's the point of keeping a promise?" Old Master Xie disagreed, "This child didn't do anything wrong. If you tell the truth, how can he not forgive you?"   Xie Cheng said nothing, just sat there with a cold face.   "You cold blockhead, you finally met Xi girl, you saw a little wind, you know how to shake your blockhead, and when you talk about A Luo, you return to your nature." Old Master Xie   snorted coldly, "Get out quickly, I'm old too, I can't persuade you young people, do whatever you want, don't wait until the future to regret it."   "Grandson, take your leave!"   Xie Cheng stood up, bowed and turned to leave.   When he returned to the front hall, Tang Xi didn't know what jokes he was telling Old Lady Xie and Nanny Jiang, and the three of them were laughing.   Especially Old Lady Xie, she was so happy that she fell on Nanny Jiang.   Xie Cheng curled his lips, his eyes were filled with relief.   He hadn't seen his grandmother so happy for a long time, and he couldn't remember the last time she laughed like this.   "What did you say? Why are you laughing like this?" He walked in and asked in a low voice.   "You're back!"   Tang Xi stood up, staring at his smart eyes with a gentle smile.   He rubbed her head gently and said softly, "Are you going back?"   "Yes!"   "You came at the right time, take the person away quickly!" Old Lady Xie wiped the tears from her laughter and said, "If you don't take the person away, I will laugh my life away."   Tang Xi chuckled when she heard it.   She didn't expect that the old lady had such a low sense of humor. She just told a few jokes she had seen in her previous life, and the old lady laughed like this.   "Oh?" Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows with interest, and asked with a smile in his starry eyes: "What did you say to make grandma laugh like this?"   She smiled and shook her head, "Nothing, I just told a few jokes."   "Tell me about it another day?" He asked with a smile.   "Then let's talk about it another day."   He nodded slightly, and said to Grandma Xie and Madam Jiang: "Grandma, Madam Jiang, I'll send her back to the shop first."   "Go." Grandma Xie nodded with a smile, and smiled at Tang Xi: "Remember to come often!"   Tang Xi nodded slightly.   After leaving the gate of Xie's house, Xie Cheng whispered: "Grandma likes you very much."   "I know!" Tang Xi raised her hand and placed it in front of him.   Xie Cheng was slightly stunned, "Is this...wanting to punch me?"   He didn't remember what he did wrong!   "What are you talking about?" She glared at him, shook her arm and said: "I'll show you this bracelet."   After her reminder, Xie Cheng discovered the red jade bracelet on her hand.   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 410 Isn't it my sister?   After seeing the red jade bracelet, Xie Cheng's thin lips unconsciously raised.   "This red jade bracelet, my grandmother was reluctant to give it to my sister, but she gave it to you, which shows that she really likes you as her granddaughter-in-law."   She raised her chin and snorted coldly, "The future one!"   Xie Cheng chuckled, "Sooner or later!"   Tang Xi touched the red jade bracelet and sighed, "The old lady said this is a New Year's gift for me."   It was obviously very valuable. She originally didn't accept it. After all, she was not used to wearing these things. However, the old lady Xie insisted on giving it to her.   She also said that if she didn't accept it, it would mean that she disliked the gift she gave was too light. There was no way, she could only accept it helplessly.   Speaking of bracelets, she had quite a few in her space, those that she had taken from the warehouse before.   She didn't know much about these things, so she didn't know how much those jewels were worth.   "This bracelet... must cost a lot of money, right?"   After getting on the carriage, she asked Xie Cheng in a low voice.   "Uh..." Xie Cheng pondered, "At least a few hundred thousand taels."   "A few hundred thousand taels?"   Tang Xi felt her left hand suddenly become much heavier.   She leaned closer to Xie Cheng and said with a dry laugh, "Well... I still have a lot here. Can you help me check it out when the time comes to see if it's worth the money?"   "A lot?" Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Is it the batch you took from the pirates?"   She smiled and said in a low voice, "We are still good friends even if we don't say it!"   He paused slightly, then lightly lifted her chin and said hoarsely, "I want to marry you, but you just want to be friends with me?"   "Let's not talk about this for now!" She took his hand away, "I'll show it to you when we get back."   He took his hand back and nodded slightly, "Okay."   "There's more!" She said in a light voice, "I went back to Xie's house with you today. Can you stay at Xie's house tonight?"   Because of him, she hadn't been able to continue making the Wanling Flower Cream for the past two days. She had no stock. If she didn't replenish it, her shop would only be able to sell air.   "Don't you want to see me so much?" He looked very aggrieved.   "No!" She shook her head, "I can't sleep when you're here."   "What? Are you afraid that I'll go beastly?" He chuckled, "Don't worry, I'm not that beastly."   "Anyway, you have to go back to the Xie Mansion tonight."   "Okay!" He sighed helplessly, and said with a sad face, "If you let me go back, I will go back."   Tang Xi:...   Isn't it just about letting him go back to the Xie Mansion? Why is it like a life-and-death separation...   She curled her lips and smiled, patted his face and said, "Okay, poor little thing, when I sell the things, I will treat you to delicious food, okay?" "   Aren't you my sister?" He raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why is it my master again?"   She pursed her lips and smiled, "I am happy, you have no right to interfere."   He laughed softly, "Then, Master, in addition to providing food, can you provide accommodation?"   She shook her head and threw him a coquettish look, "My place provides food but not accommodation, beauty, please find another place   to live." "Forget it!" He sighed softly, "As long as there is food, it's fine."   Tang Xi smiled softly, raised her hand and gently touched his head and said, "Good boy! Obedient beauties are my favorite!"   Kong Yue sighed softly, she didn't know what she had done wrong, and she was actually suffering here instead of Mo Yi.   If it weren't for the fact that the downtown area couldn't drive fast, she would have wanted to let the carriage fly back to the Tang family's rouge shop right now.   When she arrived at the Tang family's rouge shop, Tang Xi couldn't help but be surprised.   There were people queuing outside the door, as if waiting for her to come back and open the door.   (End of this chapter)
