Chapter 411 Zhuo Yue's Visit   "Miss Tang, you're back?"   As soon as she got off the carriage, some people surrounded her happily.   However, when they saw Xie Cheng following behind her, they stepped back unconsciously.   Tang Xi blinked, "What are you doing..."   "We are here to buy beauty cream!" Someone smiled and said, "We have been waiting for you for a long time, and you are finally back."   Hearing this, Tang Xi said with difficulty, "I am really sorry, everyone, this beauty cream was sold out yesterday, and the lip balm is gone too. We haven't had time to restock it yet. I am afraid it will take two days to restock it."   Everyone was disappointed when they heard this.   Someone murmured, "I didn't get it yesterday, I thought it would be restocked today."   Tang Xi said in embarrassment, "I'm really sorry!"   Someone suggested, "How about this, Miss Tang, we make an order with you first, and when the stock is restocked, we will come to get it, what do you think?"   "That's good!" Someone seconded, "In this way, everyone doesn't have to line up when the time comes."   Tang Xi smiled, "That's what I was thinking."   She stepped forward to open the shop and motioned everyone to come in.   She also brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and asked everyone to register their names and quantities.   "I want ten boxes."   When the last person's voice sounded, Tang Xi was slightly stunned.   She looked up and what caught her eye was Zhuo Yue's bright smile.   "Miss Zhuo, why are you here?"   "I just wanted to come and take a look. I didn't expect that your shop's business is so good."   Zhuo Yue smiled and handed the veil hat to the maid next to her.   Tang Xi glanced and saw that it was not Xiaolan, so she turned her eyes back to Zhuo Yue again.   "Hurry up and sit down!"   She pulled a chair and motioned her to sit down.   Zhuo Yue first bowed to Xie Chengyingying, and then sat down on the chair.   "Why don't you write down my name first?"   Seeing that Tang Xi was slow to write, she reminded her softly.   Tang Xi smiled and hurriedly wrote down her name and quantity.   She blew the ink on the list dry and folded it, then apologized to Zhuo Yue: "I was in a hurry to do business just after opening the door, and I didn't have time to serve tea. I'm sorry!"   Zhuo Yue smiled gently, "This tea can be drunk anywhere, and it's okay to drink less."   After she said that, she stretched out her hand to the little maid and said, "Yuanyang, bring the purse."   The maid heard the words and hurriedly took off the purse and handed it to her, "Miss!"   "This is the money for the beauty cream." Zhuo Yue took out ten silver bills and handed them to her.   After Tang Xi thanked her, she smiled and took it.   Zhuo Yue looked around and whispered, "When I was waiting in line just now, I heard that something happened to you a while ago?"   Tang Xi nodded and said indifferently, "It's been resolved."   "I also know Wang Zhiqing, but I'm not very familiar with her." Zhuo Yue said, "I heard that she was imprisoned, but I didn't know it was this matter. Yesterday, the people in the Wang Mansion went to find my father and asked me to go to the government office to help plead for her, but my father didn't want to. I didn't know what it was yesterday. I just reacted when I heard about your situation today."   "You mean, the people in the Wang Mansion want to get Wang Zhiqing out?" Tang Xi raised his eyebrows and asked.   "Well," Zhuo Yue nodded, "Originally, the Wang family went to Anyang Wang Mansion and wanted Anyang Wang to come forward to ask for mercy from Xie Chengzhu, but Anyang Wang didn't seem to be convenient to show up, so they went to find my father."   Tang Xi looked at Xie Cheng, but saw that he was sitting alone in front of the stove, carefully pouring water into the teapot, and then putting the teapot on the stove.   She retracted her gaze and smiled at Zhuo Yue, "She was just instigated by someone. Her crime is not punishable by death. She has already been beaten. After being locked up for a few more days, she should be able to go back."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 412 What Prince Luo meant   Zhuo Yue whispered, "I heard that Prince Anyang wants Princess Hanrong to recognize the head of the palace in the capital as her adoptive father, and then marry out of the palace and marry Prince Luo Jian as a concubine."   Seeing that the two of them looked calm, she was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It seems that you all know what Prince Anyang is planning?"   Tang Xi nodded, "We have heard about this."   "No wonder!" Zhuo Yue suddenly realized it and smiled, "However, Prince Anyang is not helping the palace to get Wang Zhiqing out now, and I don't know whether the palace is willing to recognize Princess Hanrong as their adopted daughter."   "Why not?" Xie Cheng spoke suddenly.   The two looked at him at the same time, but saw him raise his eyes and said in a light voice: "The palace can ignore Prince Anyang, but can they oppose Prince Luo?"   Zhuo Yue was slightly stunned, "The city lord is saying that this matter is the intention of Prince Luo?"   "Who else can it be?" Xie Cheng sneered, "Just a prince of the previous dynasty is not worthy of the palace to curry favor with."   Tang Xi raised an eyebrow, "So, even if this prince's palace has objections, it has to admit it?"   Xie Cheng nodded, "The palace in the capital has frequent dealings with the Luo Palace, and they have to rely on the Luo Palace for many things, so even if they are dissatisfied in their hearts, they can only endure it."   "Then why don't they move out of the Luo Palace?" Zhuo Yue was puzzled, "If the Luo Palace comes forward, you should let them go, right?"   "Of course." Xie Cheng smiled lightly, "However, the Luo Palace is impossible to come forward."   "Why?"   Xie Cheng said calmly, "Many relationships can be secretly communicated in private, but if they are communicated openly, it will cause speculation."   After all, the status of the Luo Wang Mansion is there, and the Wang Mansion is the largest rice merchant in the capital. If they communicate too closely, it will definitely attract the attention of those who are interested.   Therefore, in order to avoid suspicion, Wang Zhiqing has to suffer this pain.   Tang Xi looked at him and said, "You dared to let someone beat Wang Zhiqing with a stick because you saw this point?"   "Xixi, you underestimate me too much." He raised his thin lips slightly, "Even if Lord Luo personally came forward, I would not let him go."   The little girl who dared to frame him should think of the consequences.   Zhuo Yue was still a little stunned at first, but when she thought of Xie Cheng's identity, she was relieved.   "Miss, it's snowing. If you don't go back, the carriage will have trouble moving when the snow is heavy."   The maid looked outside the house and reminded worriedly.   "It's been quite a while since I came out." Zhuo Yue smiled, stood up and said, "I'll go back first, please take your time."   "I'll take you there."   Tang Xi was about to stand up, but was pushed back by Zhuo Yue. "No need, the carriage is parked outside, it's only a few steps away."   Tang Xi nodded, "Then take your time!"   The maid hurriedly put the veil on Zhuo Yue, and held up the oil-paper umbrella to escort her to the carriage.   After she walked away, Tang Xi retracted her gaze and looked at Xie Cheng and said, "Since there is no one here, can you help me see how much these things are worth?"   Xie Cheng nodded slightly, "Take them out, I'll show them to you."   Tang Xi nodded and asked him to wait there. She closed the door of the shop and moved out all the things she had taken away that day.   Looking at the hundreds of boxes of jewels, Xie Cheng was so shocked that he almost dropped the teacup in his hand.   He really didn't expect that there were so many boxes.   There was also a pile of food and grass in the warehouse that day. He thought that even if there were these things in it, it would not be too much.   Unexpectedly...   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 413 Matters of the Royal Family   He sighed lightly and said in a calm voice: "These are all the people's hard-earned money. No wonder the people of Xinyi Country have such a hard life."   Tang Xi said: "How can you be sure that it belongs to Xinyi Country? Maybe it was looted from the people in our Canglan Country?"   "Impossible." Xie Cheng shook his head slightly, "If they looted so much wealth from the people in Canglan Country, the local officials would not have failed to report it. These should have been transported from Xinyi Country."   "Since it belongs to Xinyi Country, why did they transport it here? Why not use it directly in Xinyi Country?" She was a little confused.   Xie Cheng put down the teacup, smiled and said, "Because the origin of these things is unknown, they cannot use them directly in Xinyi Kingdom. If I remember correctly, these things should have been brought here by the pirates by the Crown Prince of Xinyi Kingdom, and were ready to be handed over to King Anyang, who would exchange them for cash and then ship them back."   "So that's it!" Tang Xi suddenly realized, "I didn't expect that King Anyang was so bold that he dared to work for the crown prince of another country."   Xie Cheng sneered, "He has great ambitions. I'm afraid now it's not just as simple as wanting the Anyang Palace to return to the capital."   "You mean, his ambitions have grown again?" Tang Xi sighed lightly, "Treason is a serious crime."   "Indeed." Xie Cheng poured her a cup of tea and said in a light voice, "Punishing the entire nine clans is no big deal."   "Could it be that he and Prince Luo have reached some kind of consensus?" Tang Xi guessed.   "Nine out of ten," Xie Cheng said, "Compared to the ambition of Prince Anyang, Prince Luo's ambition is even greater than his. If it weren't for the Queen Mother's obstruction, Your Majesty would have sent him to hell."   Tang Xi raised an eyebrow, "Could it be that Prince Luo was also involved in the fight for the throne?"   "Yes." He nodded slightly, "He set an ambush and almost took Your Majesty's life."   "Why do you still keep such a dangerous person?" Tang Xi frowned, "Isn't Your Majesty afraid that he will not give up his evil intentions?"   "So what?" Xie Cheng sneered, "Your Majesty lost his mother when he was young, and was brought up by the Queen Mother, and he has always valued filial piety. At that time, the Queen Mother tried her best to stop him, how could he do it?"   Tang Xi suddenly realized, "No wonder a mere princess dared to challenge the Tenth Princess."   It seems that the title of Princess Honglian should be related to the Queen Mother.   "So, the Queen Mother is Prince Luo's biological mother?" Tang Xi asked.   "Yes." Xie Cheng nodded.   "What about Prince Sangyu?"   "He is your Majesty's brother, and they are both sons of the former queen."   "I see!" Tang Xi nodded, "After all, the queen dowager is also Prince Luo's biological mother. What if they work together from the inside and outside?"   "That won't happen." Xie Cheng said, "Although Prince Luo is the queen dowager's only child, she likes your Majesty and Prince Sangyu more than Prince Luo." "Why   ?" Tang Xi frowned, "Who likes other people's children but not their own children?"   "It's a long story now." He said in a cold voice, "The queen dowager and the former queen are close friends. Originally, the queen dowager had someone else she liked, but because her family fell into poverty, she had to fulfill her family's wishes and gave up the person she liked and entered the palace."   Tang Xi raised an eyebrow, "Is it because Prince Luo is not the child of her and the person she liked that she dislikes him?"   "I guess so, but that's only one reason." Xie Cheng said, "Second, her family started forcing her to compete with the former queen for favor after they found out she had given birth to a prince. However, she had no interest in fame or gain, and the former queen treated her very well. When she was pregnant, she even protected her at every turn. So, when her family forced her, she always felt that it was Prince Luo's fault and that he shouldn't have been born."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 414 The Person Empress Dowager Yuan Likes   Tang Xi rested her elbows on the table, held her chin and said with a sigh, "It seems that Prince Luo was also quite innocent at that time."   "The Empress Dowager had the help of the former Queen, and the Emperor treated her well. Therefore, her family also regained its former prosperity. It was because of this that she was ungrateful and selfish."   Xie Cheng took a sip of tea and continued, "Before the former Queen passed away, she entrusted her two sons to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager was loyal and responsible to them, but was indifferent to her own sons. It was because of this that she aroused Prince Luo's resentment towards her."   Tang Xi sighed, "If I were in her place, I would not like such a mother either."   "Not long after the death of the former queen, the former emperor also fell ill, and the war started from that time."   He smiled faintly and said, "At that time, the empress dowager's maternal family, the Yuan family, wanted Prince Luo to ascend the throne. So, late at night, they sent someone to deliver poison into the harem and handed it to the empress dowager, hoping that she could poison His Majesty, who was the prince at the time, and Prince Sangyu. Unfortunately, the empress dowager did not poison them. She even had someone tie up the Yuan family members who delivered the poison, and summoned all the ministers to expose the crimes of the Yuan family on the spot."   Tang Xi was stunned, "So cruel? What happened to the Yuan family in the end?"   Xie Cheng said, "   The entire family was executed." "How much must the Empress Dowager Yuan hate the people of the Yuan family?"   Tang Xi really couldn't understand what kind of hatred made the Empress Dowager Yuan make such a decision.   Xie Cheng said: "Perhaps she was disgusted by the ugly faces of the Yuan family, or it might be related to her entering the palace. Of course, I also heard that not long after she entered the palace, her lover committed suicide by jumping into the river."   "Could it be that her lover was killed by the Yuan family?"   "Very likely." Xie Cheng said: "At that time, it is said that before the Queen Mother Yuan said goodbye to her lover, she gave him some banknotes and pearl hairpins, and witnessed him leaving the capital. Somehow, the man was found dead in the moat early the next morning."   Tang Xi frowned, "Or maybe the man lost his lover and couldn't get over it?"   "Impossible." Xie Cheng shook his head, "At that time, I heard that although the man and the Queen Mother Yuan were in love with each other, they were not to the point of having to have her. Moreover, it is said that the man had a concubine at home. Tell me, how could such a person commit suicide by jumping into the river for a woman?"   "So, this man's death may really be related to the Yuan family?" She frowned slightly, "But even so, the Yuan family is still the family of Queen Mother Yuan, right? They won't kill their entire family for a man, right?"   "Of course, there is another possibility." Xie Cheng said, "She wants to cut off Prince Luo's left and right arms."   Tang Xi shook her head and sighed, "This Queen Mother Yuan is really a ruthless person!"   No matter what the reason is, she is really ruthless enough to put her own family to death.   Xie Cheng coughed lightly and said, "I have heard of a guess, but I don't know if it is true or not. After all, I was not born at that time. I just heard about it from others later."   "What guess?" Tang Xi asked.   "This rumor is a bit outrageous, but there are traces to follow." He looked at her, as if hesitating whether to say it.   "What's wrong? Can't you say it?"   Tang Xi was puzzled. She picked up the teacup and just drank it in one gulp, and heard Xie Cheng say, "Not really, it's just that, it is rumored that the person Queen Mother Yuan likes is actually the former queen."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 415 Sincere Feelings   "Puff - cough cough -"   She widened her eyes, "What did you say?"   "You don't dare to believe it either?" Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked.   "This... is impossible?" Tang Xi hesitated, "If that's the case, wouldn't you want to strangle the person you like to death when you see him having a child with someone else? Besides, doesn't she have a lover?" "   That's true, but some people say that the person is just a cover-up, and..."   His starry eyes turned slightly, and after a long while he said, "It is said that your majesty and King Sangyu look very similar to the former queen."   Tang Xi was silent for a long time before frowning and saying, "Could it be that she was afraid that the Yuan family would kill your majesty and King Sangyu, so she exposed the crimes of the Yuan family?"   Perhaps this is also the reason why she didn't want Prince Luo to take the throne?   If the Yuan family came to power, the ones who would suffer would definitely be Emperor Yan and King Sangyu, who were still princes at the time. At that time, she would not be able to protect them even if she wanted to.   Thinking about it this way, it is really possible.   If it is true, then such love... she doesn't know how to describe it.   If you say it is great, it is indeed great. If you say it is deformed, it is indeed deformed.   Xie Cheng said: "Although she saved Prince Luo later, she still ignored him for so many years. However, she was okay with Princess Honglian and Prince Luo Jian."   Tang Xi said: "If I were Prince Luo, I might also hate Queen Mother Yuan."   "Indeed." Xie Cheng nodded, "After all, she eliminated the Yuan family, which was equivalent to cutting off Prince Luo's left and right arms, causing him to lose the opportunity to ascend the throne. Anyone would hate it."   "Alas-"   Tang Xi shook her head, "This Prince Luo is a pitiful man."   "If there was no queen mother, perhaps Your Majesty and Prince Sangyu would have died long ago." Xie Cheng said: "After all, it was the Yuan family who was ungrateful first. If they had been law-abiding and assisted Your Majesty together with the queen mother, they would have enjoyed all the glory in the future. How could they end up like that?" Queen Mother   Yuan's neglect cut off the possibility of Prince Luo becoming emperor, but the Yuan family gave Prince Luo hope.   In fact, the Yuan family is too ambitious, and the Queen Mother Yuan did nothing wrong.   If Lord Luo ascended the throne, it is not certain whether Canglan Country can have the peace and prosperity it has today.   But His Majesty is different. He has been determined to be a wise ruler since he was a child. He reads books of saints and listens to stories of wise rulers.   Although the former queen died early, the Queen Mother Yuan did not teach him and the King of Sangyu any crooked ideas. Even the tutor was selected by her personally, and he was a family member of the former queen.   It is precisely because of this that others have such speculations.   Otherwise, ask the concubines in the entire harem, who is not wholeheartedly trying to protect their own family? Who doesn't want their son to ascend the throne? And how many people don't hope that the prince will get into trouble as soon as possible?   Only the Queen Mother Yuan wholeheartedly assists other people's sons, and even gets rid of her own family before the former emperor passes away?   If it weren't for the deep love, who would be so desperate?   "I didn't expect that there is such a sincere feeling in this harem!" Tang Xi shook his head and sighed.   I thought that the relationship between Hua Xuan and Feng Ruoqian was touching enough, but unexpectedly, it was much weaker than that between Empress Dowager Yuan and the former queen.   If this relationship was true, how much pain Empress Dowager Yuan must have felt.   Not only did she have to serve a man together with the person she loved, but she also had to watch the person she loved sleep with someone else. She must have wanted to kill the former emperor at that time, right?   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 416 The Wan Family Has Causes and Effects   "Everything has its cause and effect." Xie Cheng said calmly, "The Queen Mother is also responsible for Prince Luo's current situation."   If she had cared a little more at the time, how could she have let Prince Luo get so close to the Yuan family?   If Prince Luo had not been close to the Yuan family, he would not have been indoctrinated with the idea that he could inherit the throne.   In the final analysis, even if the Yuan family was wrong, Queen Mother Yuan was even more wrong.   "Let's not talk about this." Tang Xi looked at him and said, "Help me estimate how much these jewels are worth?"   After talking so much, she almost forgot about the main business.   After Xie Cheng stepped forward and took a quick look, he couldn't help but sighed, "The prince of Xinyi Kingdom is indeed rich."   Tang Xi's eyes lit up, "Are these valuable?"   Xie Cheng nodded. He picked up a jade bracelet and said in a light voice, "Although it is not as valuable as the one in your hand, this one alone is worth tens of thousands of taels."   "Tens of thousands of taels?" Tang Xi was shocked, "With so many things, once they are exchanged for cash, won't it attract other people's attention?"   "Of course it is impossible to exchange them all at once." Xie Cheng smiled, "They will exchange them little by little, and then transport them back to Xinyi Kingdom. In this way, they can avoid the eyes and ears of other royal families."   "The prince of Xinyi Kingdom is indeed a smart man, but..." Tang Xi smiled proudly, "He probably wouldn't have thought that all these things would come to me."   "If you exchange all these things, you will have at least tens of millions of taels." Xie Cheng smiled, "It's almost catching up with the family fortune of the Xie family."   He didn't mention the national treasury. There have been frequent disasters in the past two years. If it weren't for the Sun family, it would have been almost empty.   "Several...tens of millions of taels?" Tang Xi was stunned, "Are you sure you are not joking?"   "How can I lie to you?" Xie Cheng smiled, "You think the prince of Xinyi is smart, but I think he is very stupid. With so many things, it is estimated that they are equivalent to half of the wealth of Xinyi. He just sent them without any precautions. I don't know if he trusts King Anyang too much, or he is really too bold."   Tang Xi said, "If he knew that these things were gone, would he be angry to death?"   "Probably, but it can't be blamed on King Anyang. After all, he probably didn't expect that those pirates would really become pirates."   "Huh?" Tang Xi was puzzled, "Aren't they pirates?"   "I thought so at first, but you said, how could a pirate get close to the prince? Moreover, he had met Deputy General Yao and even knew his original life experience? Besides, can the prince of Xinyi Kingdom be assured to let a group of pirates to ship so many valuables?"   Tang Xi also thought it made sense, "Since they are not pirates, who are they?"   Xie Cheng said, "If I am not mistaken, they should be people around the prince. They probably drifted on the sea for too long and robbed a few ships, so they really regarded themselves as pirates."   "There are so many valuable things on the ship, why don't they just take them?" Tang Xi said, "Take these things and go far away. Isn't it more worthwhile than being a pirate?"   "Their home is in Xinyi Country. After all, they dare to take risks just to keep their families alive. How dare they betray easily?"   As a pirate, I guess they also want to gain something from this trip, right?   As for the things on the ship, there are lists of them, one by one. It is impossible to fish in troubled waters.   Unless the list in the hands of the prince of Xinyi Country is also lost.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 417 Xie Mansion has ready-made things   "Alas, it's not easy!" Tang Xi sighed with emotion.   Xie Cheng smiled, "In this troubled time, how many people have an easy life?"   Today seems to be safe, but tomorrow, if you are not careful, you may be wiped out.   "Then... where can I exchange these things for cash? Silver bills are also fine."   Tang Xi stared at the pile of boxes with a distressed expression.   "These are all good things. You can sell them directly without exchanging them, but that is risky."   Maybe they will be discovered by King Anyang's people, which will cause trouble.   "There are also risks in exchanging them, and no one can exchange so many things for you at one time."   "Then how did King Anyang do it?" Tang Xi was curious.   It is conceivable that the prince of Xinyi Country can hand over so many things to King Anyang at one time. This is not the first time.   Xie Cheng said, "There are several jewelry stores in the Anyang Palace. Those things should be put on sale directly."   "What should I do?" Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. "I can't open a few jewelry stores, right?"   After buying all these things, I will close the store?   "Don't worry," Xie Cheng smiled. "You don't have to open one. The Xie Palace has ready-made ones."   Tang Xi was stunned. "You want me to put these things in the jewelry stores of the Xie Palace for sale?"   "Yes." He nodded. "In this way, even if so many are taken out at once, the Anyang King should not pay much attention."   After all, the Xie Palace's assets are here, even if so many good goods are put out at once, there is nothing to be suspicious about.   "This... is not good?"   He raised his eyebrows. "Then what other good ideas do you have?"   Tang Xi smiled. "Then I'll trouble you, the city lord!"   Xie Cheng looked at her for a moment, and suddenly laughed.   "You have to change your habit of suddenly conjuring things. If others see you, they will think you are a monster and burn you."   "Don't you think I'm a monster?" She was very curious.   He raised his eyebrows, "Of course it's because you don't have any demonic aura."   Tang Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "How can you smell demonic aura?"   "Of course!" He nodded, "People like Hua Xuan are full of demonic aura. I guess he is most likely a fox demon, with a strong smell."   Tang Xi chuckled when she heard this. Just as she put the jewelry back into the space, there was a knock on the door.   The two looked at each other, and after a moment, there was another knock on the door.   "I'll go open it." Xie Cheng walked up and opened the door, and saw Chu Tianyou standing outside the door looking at them.   "Why are you here?" Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows and stepped aside to let him in.   Chu Tianyou explained with a smile, "I saw the door was closed and thought there was no one there. Just as I was about to leave, I heard Miss Tang's laughter."   "Where are you going?" Xie Cheng motioned for him to take a seat, and then asked in a low voice.   "I'm going to the Yanhong Tavern." Chu Tianyou scratched his head and said with a smile, "I went to the Yanhong Tavern last night. Miss Lin heard that I was passing by here, so she asked me to come in and get something.   " "Get something?" Xie Cheng looked at Tang Xi.   Tang Xi smiled and took out two small bottles of spiritual springs, "Is this what you want to get?"   "Yes!" Chu Tianyou took out four silver notes of 50,000 taels and handed them to her, "This is what Miss Lin asked me to give to you."   Tang Xi took it and said with a smile, "Thank Boss Lin for me."   Chu Tianyou nodded, "Definitely!"   "You... went to the Yanhong Tavern last night?" Xie Cheng glanced at him with an ambiguous look.   "It's not what you think!" Chu Tianyou's ears blushed, and he explained anxiously, "That's right, I wanted to ask Miss Lin yesterday when we were leaving."   "You don't have to explain so quickly." Xie Cheng said in a calm voice, "The New Year is coming soon, and I can't make it back anyway. It's better to stay in Hanshui City and return to Lianhua Town after the New Year."   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 418 Chapter 417 What are you doing   here again? "Brother Xie, are you trying to keep me?" Chu Tianyou was shocked and moved at the same time.   How many people can Xie Cheng ask to stay?   He actually became one of those few people, which was so touching!   Xie Cheng smiled faintly and did not refute.   He naturally had selfish motives to keep Chu Tianyou. If he left early, wouldn't it be dangerous for the people of the Mo family to go back later?   Therefore, to be on the safe side, it would be better to keep Chu Tianyou. With him and Lin Yuetong, the Mo family would be relatively safer.   "Let's go to Xie's house on New Year's Day." He said in a light voice: "It will be more lively with more people."   "But if I stay, won't I be unable to go with Miss Lin?" Chu Tianyou looked embarrassed.   The purpose of his coming here was to find Lin Yuetong, not to stay here for the New Year.   Moreover, his father's injury was still waiting for his magic medicine.   "Isn't it just to purchase goods?" Xie Cheng said calmly, "It's not too late to go after the New Year."   "That's right!" Chu Tianyou smiled, "Then I'll go over later and talk to her to see if she agrees."   Xie Cheng nodded, "Okay."   After Chu Tianyou left, Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and smiled, "I really can't tell that you have so many little thoughts."   The moment Xie Cheng tried to keep Chu Tianyou, she guessed what his purpose was.   "No way!" He picked up the teacup and smiled faintly, "After all, it's not safe to let them go back by themselves."   Tang Xi chuckled, stepped forward and pinched his shoulder lightly, saying, "I'm sorry to bother you, City Lord!"   He put down the teacup, held her little hand on his shoulder, and smiled faintly, "It should be."   As long as it's someone she cares about, he will care about them.   "What are you doing? In broad daylight, you're being affectionate, and you don't feel ashamed."   The annoying tone came from outside the door. The two looked up and saw Hua Xuan walking in.   Xie Cheng asked expressionlessly, "Didn't they say that the Palace Master of the Poison Sect is coming soon? I see that you don't seem to be afraid at all."   "I heard that she hasn't entered the city yet." Hua Xuan smiled proudly, "Before our old witch enters the city, go out more, otherwise, you will have to live a life of exile."   "What are you doing here again?" Xie Cheng looked disgusted.   "What else can you do?" Hua Xuan looked at Tang Xi and said, "   Where is the person?" Tang Xi was stunned, "Who?"   "Furong!" Hua Xuan said, "Didn't you promise to hand the person over to me?"   He left after finishing his business that day, and then he remembered that he hadn't asked Tang Xi for the person.   "Oh, her?" Tang Xi smiled, "You go back first, I'll send it to you tonight."   You can't let her turn into a living person in front of Hua Xuan.   "Can't you just give the person to me now?" Hua Xuan asked with a bitter face.   "I'm afraid it won't work!" Tang Xi said with a smile, "Because I hid the person somewhere else, and I can't bring him to you for a while. You won't die if you wait a little longer."   "Oh, forget it!" He sat down opposite Xie Cheng, poured himself some tea and lowered his head and said, "I heard that you bought the new house in the Zhuo Mansion?"   Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, "You are very well-informed!"   "That's right!" Hua Xuan was proud, "I was in the teahouse with Ruoqian yesterday, and saw the two of you coming out of there."   When Tang Xi heard him say this, she remembered that Feng Ruoqian's teahouse was also on Linhe Street.   "Why didn't I see the owner Feng?" she asked.   "He's in the teahouse."   When he mentioned Feng Ruoqian, his tone softened unconsciously.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 419: They all value love over friendship   Xie Cheng said calmly: "We still have things to do. If you have nothing else to do, leave early."   Hua Xuan paused with the teacup in his hand and hesitated: "This... is not good, right? Besides, Xiaoxi is still so young, City Lord Xie, aren't you too impatient?"   Tang Xi: ...   Xie Cheng: "Get lost."   Does he look so beastly? This damn slutty vixen.   Hua Xuan chuckled, took a sip of tea leisurely, and said with a smile: "City Lord Xie, don't be angry, I was just joking."   "I still have things to do today. If you don't have anything else to do, leave quickly."   She has received dozens of orders for beauty creams today, and making money is important.   Hua Xuan raised her eyebrows at Xie Cheng and said gloatingly: "It seems that not only I am leaving, but you are going to go with me?"   "You go first." Tang Xi said calmly.   Hua Xuan's smile froze, while Xie Cheng smiled evilly, with a smug look on his face.   "Alas, this is the nature of this person," Hua Xuan shook his head pretending to be disappointed, and stood up and said, "They all value women over friendship."   "Then who do you think is more important, me or Master Feng?" Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile.   "Is there any need to say that?" Hua Xuan grinned, "If we have different personalities, can we be friends?"   The meaning is very clear, they all value women over friendship.   Tang Xi snorted, "It's good to know, why don't you go back quickly?"   "That person..." he asked in a long voice.   "I will definitely send it to you tonight."   "Okay!"   He threw a coquettish eye at Tang Xi, and then turned and left.   Xie Cheng: ...   One day, he will dig out the eyes of this slutty fox and feed them to the dogs.   "What about you?" She raised her eyebrows, "Are you not going to leave?"   "I'm leaving!"   He nodded, stood up and walked to the door, thought about it, and then came back, gently rubbed her black hair a few times, and then turned and left.   Tang Xi: ...   This guy still has this habit?   After everyone left, the shop finally fell silent.   She closed the shop, turned on the door control, looked around, and when she saw that there was no one, she slipped into the space.   "Moo--"   As usual, when she came in, the cow raised its head and called to her, then lowered its head to continue chewing grass.   Tang Xi chuckled, walked forward and patted its head lightly, then walked into the wooden house.   When she finished making fifty boxes of Wanling Flower Cream and went out, the house was much darker.   When she pushed open the door, she saw that dusk had enveloped the earth.   It was so late after only making fifty boxes of Wanling Flower Cream.   She locked the shop and was about to send someone to Hua Xuan, but a carriage suddenly stopped in front of her shop.   She raised her eyes slightly, but found that the coachman was not an acquaintance.   Her own carriage had been taken away by Kong Yue with Xie Cheng, so who was coming now?   While she was confused, she saw two women in black stepped forward and stretched out their hands to restrain her.   Tang Xi frowned slightly, took a step back, and looked indifferently in the direction of the carriage.   She had seen these two black-clad women before, they were the two who were guarding outside Lu Yue's room at that time.   "Who are you?" She asked in a calm voice pretending to be puzzled.   The two black-clad women showed their sharp daggers and said in a cold voice: "Our master asked you to go with us."   "Your master?" Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, "Who is your master?"   One of the black-clad men said: "If you want to live, don't ask so many questions."   Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, "It's not good to kidnap people in public, right?"   The two black-clad women ignored her and nodded slightly to each other.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 420 No resistance   The two men attacked at the same time and captured her at the same time.   Tang Xi just raised her eyebrows slightly and did not struggle.   She wanted to see what Lu Yue was going to do.   "You are smart." The woman in black snorted coldly.   The two carried her to the carriage.   At this time, most of the shops next door were closed, and Yanchunlou opposite was temporarily closed. Almost no one noticed the movement here.   However, Hua Xuan, who was taking Feng Ruoqian to pick up the person in person, happened to see this scene.   "Tang... Woo!"   "Shh!"   Feng Ruoqian was about to shout for help, but was covered by Hua Xuan.   "Why didn't Xiaoxi resist?" Hua Xuan was puzzled.   With Tang Xi's martial arts, these two people were not her opponents at all.   Could it be...she did it on purpose?   Hua Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly, he released the hand covering Feng Ruoqian's mouth, and whispered: "Let's go, let's follow and see."   Feng Ruoqian nodded, and the two of them practiced Qinggong at the same time and quickly followed behind the carriage.   "Nongqin, don't we need to tie her up or knock her out?"   one of the black-clad women asked.   The black-clad woman named Nongqin sneered and said, "No need. A weak little girl, can't we control her with just the two of us?"   "That's true."   Tang Xi curled her lips slightly, crossed her arms, leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.   "Don't you think she's too calm?" The black-clad woman looked suspicious.   Normally, a normal little girl would scream when she was caught, but the one in the car was so calm that it made people feel uneasy.   "Dujuan, can you stop being suspicious?" Nongqin frowned, "She can't beat us, so instead of being caught quietly, is she going to make a fuss and wait to be poisoned to death?"   Dujuan frowned slightly. She always felt that something was wrong with this little girl.   Isn't it because she can't beat us that she struggles and screams?   And this one seemed to know who she was going to meet, and she seemed to be fearless.   Is she a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, or is she willing to go to the tiger mountain even though she knows there are tigers there?   Of course, this tiger, of course, refers to their master.   The more Du Juan thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She couldn't help but ask in a cold voice: "Do you know who we are going to take you to see?"   Tang Xi didn't say anything. Du Juan's heart skipped a beat. She thought she had run away. She quickly lifted the curtain and saw that she was slowly eating an apple. When she   saw her looking over, she even smiled at her.   Du Juan felt a chill coming over her instantly, which was even colder than the snow on the ground.   She just shivered, and the curtain was pulled down by Nong Qin.   "What are you doing?" Nong Qin was very dissatisfied, "Don't forget, she is the Lord Xie's person. You are not afraid of being seen by others when you lift the curtain like this."   "What are you afraid of?" Du Juan said in a light voice: "It's so dark, who can see who is in the car?"   Thinking of Tang Xi's smile just now, she always felt a little creepy.   "It's really a ghost!" She shook her head.   Nongqin is really a name for nothing. Not only is he not elegant at all, he is also very careless.   A little girl was kidnapped and she was still so calm. Is this the reaction of a normal person?   The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was definitely a mistake for the master to capture this person this time.   But then she thought, with the master's martial arts and poison, is he afraid that he can't control a little girl? Thinking   of this, her heart instantly calmed down a lot.   Tang Xi opened the curtains, looked at the familiar path, and couldn't help but smile faintly.   She was about to put down the curtains, but she caught a glimpse of two dark shadows following the carriage from the corner of her eye.   (End of this chapter)
