Chapter 521 I thought there was a thief   After dinner, Tang Xi sent Tang Xiao back to Xiangyang Pavilion, and asked He Shu, Tang Jiu and Tang Shi to take good care of Tang Xiao, and then returned to the Silk Chamber.   At the hour of Hai, she just came out of the space and heard rustling sounds coming from outside the window.   Tang Xi's first reaction was that there was a thief. After all, the Tang Mansion was so big. Although there were guards at the front and back doors, and there were servants patrolling at ordinary times, it was possible that this little thief had some light skills and could climb over the wall from the outside.   She hesitated for a moment and was about to go around to take a look, but unexpectedly, someone knocked on the window.   She paused and frowned in confusion.   Isn't this little thief too bold? It would be fine if he sneaked in, but he dared to knock on her window blatantly?   She hesitated for a moment, but decided to go around the door to take a look.   Hua'er and Guo'er had been sent back by her to rest a long time ago, so at this moment, the Silk Chamber was quiet.   It hadn't snowed in the past two days, so the ground was very clean. If you stepped on it lightly, there would be no sound.   She quietly went around to the back window, and saw a slender figure standing outside the window in the darkness.   She found that the figure was somewhat similar to Xie Cheng.   "Acheng?"   She called out uncertainly.   The figure looked over when he heard the voice, and after seeing that it was her, he strode over.   "I heard about what happened in Zhongwang Village, so I came to ask."   When the familiar voice came over, Tang Xi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.   "Did you climb over the wall to get in?"   "I guess so." He chuckled softly, "After all, it's so late, it doesn't seem good to go through the front door."   "I thought there was a thief." Tang Xi smiled, "Let's go into the house first."   Back in the house, Tang Xi was about to pour him tea, but found that the tea had already gone cold. There was nothing he could do but put the teapot back on the table.   "I heard that one of your relatives died in Zhongwang Village? Which one?"   He was busy in the government office all day today, and it was only when he returned to Xie's house at the hour of You that he heard what the shadow guard said.   Tang Xi said calmly, "She is my cousin."   "Cousin?" Xie Cheng pondered, "Yes, the one you dislike very much?"   Tang Xi nodded, "It's her."   "How did she die?"   "She said that there was no food at home, and she wanted to learn from others to fish by breaking ice, but she didn't expect that the ice surface had become much thinner in the past few days, and she accidentally fell into it and froze to death."   "No food?" Xie Cheng was suspicious, "Didn't you send a lot of food to their family?"   "Because she gave all the family's money to Tang Shujuan, that is, her second daughter, my uncle was angry and divided her life with her. She lived with her youngest daughter, and my uncle lived with my cousin and his wife. She said that she didn't want to get food from my cousin, so she ran to the river by herself."   Speaking of this, Tang Xi always felt something was wrong.   With Yang's shameless character, she shouldn't abuse herself like this.   She frowned slightly. She didn't look at the body at the time, so she didn't know if it was murder.   But, who would kill Yang?   However, even if it was really murder, now that the body has been put into the coffin, it is impossible to open the coffin for an autopsy, right?   This is a very unlucky thing in folk culture, and it is disrespectful to the deceased.   Seeing her indifferent expression, Xie Cheng couldn't help but breathe   a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was not someone the little girl cared about. On the way here, he was still thinking about how to comfort the little girl. Now that he saw that she was safe and sound, he was relieved.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 522 Birthday Gift   The two of them sat quietly, but a cold wind suddenly blew outside the house. The cold wind blew in gusts and stopped in their ears, like the howling of hundreds of ghosts.   The two looked at the window, and Tang Xi said, "It's windy."   Xie Cheng pounded his shoulders lightly a few times, moved his neck, and looked a little tired.   "Tired?" She asked in a low voice.   Xie Cheng nodded, leaned on her shoulder and said, "I have been busy all day because I have to deal with some things today. I am indeed a little tired now."   Tang Xi put her arm around his shoulders and pinched his right shoulder lightly, curiously: "What took you so long?"   Xie Cheng closed his eyes and murmured in a low voice: "It's a small matter, not worth mentioning."   "How about I make you a pot of tea?" She said and was about to get up.   "Don't move!" He hugged her waist and said with his eyes still closed: "Let me lean on you for a while."   Today, a woman went to the government office to report that her husband had committed adultery with a young widow. Now, the young widow is pregnant. She wants to divorce her husband, but her husband doesn't want to.   This woman is none other than Guan Sisi, the daughter of Master Guan.   After Master Guan knew about this, he was furious and asked the man to divorce.   After the government office questioned, the widow admitted that she was pregnant.   But the man refused to divorce, because the man's family was not very well off and usually relied on the Guan family for supplies. If they divorced, they would probably have to return to their previous poor life in the future.   Originally, this matter was handled by Mo Yi, but in the end, it was handed over to him.   In the end, under the public opinion, the man finally signed the divorce unwillingly.   After solving this matter, he solved a few small things at the same time. When he came to his senses, it was already late.   Tang Xi was stunned unconsciously after not hearing any movement for a long time.   "Acheng?"   She called out in a low voice, and the response she got was his even breathing.   "Are you asleep?" She smiled silently.   The cold wind outside the window was howling, and it seemed to be getting stronger, but inside the house, there was silence.   She just let him lean on her and fall asleep, and she didn't dare to move even though her shoulders were sore, until an hour later, Xie Cheng slowly opened his eyes.   "Awake?" She raised her eyebrows and asked.   Xie Cheng stood up, wiped his face with his hand, looked at her and said, "I fell asleep, why didn't you call me?"   He just wanted to close his eyes and rest, but he accidentally fell asleep when he smelled the faint scent of Chinese medicine on the little girl.   "You look so tired, I want you to take a rest." Tang Xi moved her shoulders, looked at him and said, "It's just past the third watch, since you're awake, go back early."   Xie Cheng was surprised, "It's past the third watch?"   "Yeah." She nodded, "You woke up just after the night watchman rang the watch."   The Tang Mansion is close to Linhe Street, and the night watchman's ringing can be heard clearly.   Xie Cheng took out a small long box from his sleeve, handed it to her and said, "This is for you."   Tang Xi was puzzled, "What is this?"   She opened the box, but saw a white plum hairpin lying inside.   She raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion, "New Year's gift?"   He just gave her a jade comb the day before yesterday, and now he gave her a jade hairpin. Is this guy going to give her a set of jade dressing and makeup?   Xie Cheng raised an eyebrow, looked at her and smiled dotingly, "Birthday gift!"   "Birthday gift?" Tang Xi paused, then she remembered that it was indeed the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.   The seventh day of the Lunar New Year is the birthday of this body of hers.   Because of so many things recently, she almost forgot, but she didn't expect Xie Cheng to still remember it.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 523 What I Wish For   "Thank you! I like it very much!"   She raised her eyes and smiled at him. The candlelight reflected in her eyes, making her beautiful eyes look particularly bright.   Xie Cheng wanted to help her put it on for a try, but he thought that it was already midnight, and if he helped her put it on, she would have to take it off herself, so he could only swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue and changed his words to say, "As long as you like it!"   Tang Xi closed the box and put the things away, then looked at him and said, "It's getting late, you should go back."   He sighed lightly and said aggrievedly, "You're driving me away just after receiving the gift. Miss Tang is so cruel!"   Tang Xi chuckled and said unhappily, "Do you want to return the gift, Mr. Xie?"   "There's no need to return the gift. If you really want to thank me, why not..."   He raised his eyebrows slightly, stared at her with a smile in his starry eyes, and pointed to his thin lips.   Tang Xi came closer, and her red lips kissed his thin lips, and they left as soon as they touched.   Xie Cheng, who got what he wanted, grinned instantly.   He got up and said, "I'm leaving. You should rest early."   "Okay!"   Seeing Tang Xi was about to get up, he quickly reached out and pushed her back to sit, "No need to see me off."   After that, he walked to the door, opened it, went out, and then closed it again, all in one go.   Tang Xi curled her lips, retracted her gaze, blew out the candlelight, and then went back to the bedroom to get into bed and sleep.   ————   Last night, there was a heavy snowfall, and the ground was covered in a pure white.   After Tang Xi got up and packed up, he was about to go to the ruins to take a look, but Tang Xiao suddenly came.   Seeing that he was wearing new clothes and new shoes, Tang Xi couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, "Ah Xiao, are you going out?"   Now, with so many people following her, she was not afraid that Tang Xiao would get lost.   Tang Xiao raised his chin, looked at her and said, "Didn't Sister say that she would take me to find Xiao Fan today?"   Tang Xi was stunned, "Now?"   But it was just the time of Chen, and she didn't know whether Lu Fan was awake or not.   Tang Xiao hesitated and said, "No?"   Tang Xi hesitated for a moment, and could only nod and said, "Okay, sister will take you to Xie Mansion to find Xiao Fan."   Hearing this, Tang Xiao smiled instantly and cheered, "Great, sister, wait for me, I'll go back to get my things!"   Before Tang Xi could react, the person had already run away.   Tang Xi shook her head helplessly.   "Miss, are you going to Xie Mansion?" Guo'er came over, looked at her with sparkling eyes and said, "Can you take me with you?"   She has never been to the City Lord's Mansion since she was a child!   After hearing this, Hua'er also came over and said eagerly, "I want to go too!"   Tang Xi smiled, "Then let's go together."   The two were delighted and cheered, "Miss, you are wise!"   Tang Xi glanced at her clothes, raised her eyes and looked at the two of them, and ordered, "You go to the front yard and ask Steward Ge to have someone prepare the carriage and wait, I will go back to the house to clean up first."   Her clothes were too plain and too casual, not suitable for being a guest.   "We will go right away!"   Guo'er said, and hurriedly left with Hua'er.   Tang Xi turned back to the house, changed into clothes suitable for being a guest, untied her hair from a ponytail, and re-combed it. After thinking for a while, she opened the drawer, put on the white plum hairpin given by Xie Cheng, and then went out.   Hua'er and Guo'er were stunned when they saw her.   Their daughter usually tied her hair into a ponytail, and today she changed her hairstyle, looking much more beautiful than before.   She changed into a white dress, and a white fox fur coat on the outside. Her hair was half tied up and half let down, and she had two long whiskers on her forehead.   The long whiskers hung down to the chin, just outlining her small face. Coupled with her fair skin, picturesque eyebrows, and smiling red lips, she walked slowly in the snow, like a blooming white hibiscus, blooming in the frost.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 524 More Beautiful Today   Huaer said with sparkling eyes: "Miss, you are really beautiful today!"   Guoer nodded in agreement, "I think so too!"   Tang Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, pretending to be unhappy and said: "Why? Wasn't I beautiful before?"   "Beautiful!" Huaer stepped forward and took her arm, walked towards the carriage and nodded, laughing: "Miss, you are the most beautiful at any time and in any place, but you are more beautiful today!"   Tang Xi smiled lightly, "That's about right!"   "Sister!"   Tang Xiao ran over happily holding a Cuju.   "Young Master, run slower, be careful not to fall." He Shu ran behind, looking a little worried.   Tang Xi chuckled, "What are you doing with the Cuju?"   "This is newly made by Uncle He. Last time Xiaofan said he liked it, so I asked Uncle He to make another one to give to Xiaofan."   "Really?"   Tang Xi was surprised. He didn't expect that He Qing could make this.   Steward Ge prepared two carriages, and the drivers were Tang Yi and Tang Er.   Tang Xi asked He Shu to ride in a car with Tang Xiao, while she and Huaer and Guoer rode in another car.   "We went there without sending a visiting card. Will the people in Xie's house say anything?"   Guoer asked worriedly on the way.   Tang Xi was stunned. "Do we need to send a visiting card when we visit?"   She seemed to have always gone directly before, and no one else said anything.   Huaer said, "Sister Chun'er told us that wealthy families are very particular about this, and they are afraid that the master will not be at home when they go."   Tang Xi nodded, "It should be so, but... we are halfway there now, so let's wait until next time."   It seems that she has to ask Butler Ge to invite Aunt Mi earlier. Guoer   said, "The people in Xie's house like you so much, they shouldn't mind. Just remember to send it next time."   Tang Xi nodded and secretly made a note of it.   Not long after the carriage left Tang's house, it suddenly bumped and stopped instantly.   "Don't you have eyes? Didn't you see our carriage? Do you know who's sitting inside? Do you deserve to be hit?"   Tang Xi was about to speak when several questions came from outside.   Tang Er argued angrily: "It was obviously your carriage that suddenly turned out from the side road. If I hadn't reined in the horse quickly, I would have been hit by you."   "Don't you have eyes to see?" The man said arrogantly: "If I hadn't reined in the horse quickly, I would have knocked you over long ago."   "You suddenly came out of the side road, I was walking straight, and I couldn't see you. There were pedestrians here. You shouldn't have walked slower, but you blame me?" Tang Er was very unconvinced.   Pedestrians on the street saw that there was a show to watch, and they all gathered around.   Some passers-by who were watching wanted to speak, but when they saw the mark on the carriage, they all swallowed back the righteous words that were about to come out of their mouths.   "I don't want to argue with you." The driver snorted coldly, "How about this, let your master apologize to our master, and we won't bother about this matter, what do you think?"   "Bullshit!" Tang Er cursed directly, blushing and said, "It's obviously your fault, and you still want our girl to apologize, dreaming?"   "Lian Zhan, the prince asked you to solve it quickly, we are in a hurry."   The curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing a beautiful face, and the voice was delicate and soft.   The driver smiled flatteringly and said, "Miss Hongran, please tell the master that the subordinates will handle it immediately, and let him wait for a moment."   The woman's beautiful eyes moved, and her voice was still delicate and soft, "Hurry up, we still have to go to Yunhe Temple to appreciate the plum blossoms, don't delay the time."   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 525: The Prince of Zhengyao   "Did you hear that?" The driver said arrogantly, "Hurry up and apologize, otherwise, you will be in trouble."   "Boy, let your daughter come out and apologize." A kind-hearted person on the road reminded Tang Er, "This is the carriage of the Anyang Palace. We ordinary people can't afford to offend it."   When Tang Er heard that it was someone from the Anyang Palace, he was a little surprised and a little uneasy.   However, it is absolutely impossible to ask their daughter to come out and apologize!   "What about the Anyang Palace?" He snorted, "Wrong is wrong. Why should the person who did wrong ask the person who did not do wrong to apologize? What's the logic?"   "That's right!" Tang Xi lifted the curtain and said in agreement, "Why should the person who did not do wrong apologize to the person who did wrong?"   She smiled slightly, looked at the driver and said, "Then let your son come out and apologize to me."   The driver was stunned when he saw that there was a little beauty sitting in the car.   But after hearing her words, he couldn't help but turn cold, "Who do you think you are? You want our prince to apologize to you?"   Tang Xi looked at the carriage and said, "Prince Zhengyao, right? You just became the prince, and you let your dog bite people in the street. Don't you plan to do something about it?" When   these words came out, not only the driver and passers-by were stunned, but even Zhengyao in the carriage was stunned.   He has been the prince for only a few days, and now, only a few people know about it. Who is this person outside?   Judging from the voice, she doesn't seem to be very old, and she is also very unfamiliar. The most important thing is, how does she know that it is her who is sitting in the carriage?   He lifted the curtain in confusion, and when he saw the girl's smiling face, his eyes flashed with surprise.   "Who is the girl?"   If he had seen a woman of this beauty, he would never forget her.   Tang Xi looked at him lightly and smiled.   In terms of appearance, Zhengyao is not as good as Prince Fan, and is even worse.   "You don't have to care who I am." Tang Xi smiled faintly and said, "I don't ask you to apologize, but your servants must apologize to my people."   "Apologize to him?" The driver glared at Tang Er and sneered, "Just because of him?"   "Just because of him." Tang Xi's smile disappeared instantly, "Today, either apologize, or I will send someone to the Anyang Palace to invite the prince to judge."   She is not afraid of offending the Anyang King now. Besides, even if she talks about it, she still has the golden medal of immunity from death to protect her. What   is there to be afraid of? A hint of doubt flashed in Zheng Yao's eyes. This strange girl in front of him is not only not afraid of him, but also seems to be not afraid of his father. Who is this person?   Not to mention him, even the onlookers are guessing Tang Xi's identity.   "Ah!" Someone looked at Tang Xi for a long time, and finally realized, "It's the little genius doctor in the Tang Mansion!"   As soon as this was said, everyone whispered.   "Even if she is a little genius doctor, she can't offend people in Anyang Palace at will, right?"   "Yes, she even said shamelessly that she would ask Anyang Wang to judge the case. Can she do that?"   "What do you know? Shut up!"   ............   Everyone was still discussing in a low voice, but Zhengyao raised his eyebrows in surprise.   He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you the little genius doctor?"   He had heard about the little genius doctor from Doctor Wang, Doctor Zhang, and his father several times, but he had never seen the real person.   Unexpectedly, this little genius doctor was actually a beautiful and elegant little beauty.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 526 When did the prince change?   Tang Xi smiled faintly and did not answer.   Zhengyao smiled, "My people offended the little doctor. I will ask him to apologize to your people. Please forgive me, little doctor."   He thought he could give it a try for the person his father could not win over. He   heard from Doctor Zhang and Doctor Wang that getting the little doctor was like getting a life-saving talisman.   He did not believe it at first. Could anyone in this world have better medical skills than those in the medical school?   However, when he learned that this little doctor not only cured Han Rong's heart disease and old lady Xie's tuberculosis, but also cured the face of the tenth princess and Emperor Yan's diabetes, he believed the words of the two doctors.   The coachman thought Zhengyao would side with him, but he didn't know that Zhengyao actually asked him to apologize to Tang Er.   "Prince..."   He wanted to say something, but Zhengyao said seriously: "Lian Zhan, why don't you apologize to the little doctor's people?"   "I..." The coachman glanced at Tang Er.   Tang Er snorted coldly, raised his chin with a gloating look, and his face was full of smugness.   "Shameless villain!" The driver muttered,   Tang Xi's eyes turned slightly, and he looked at him indifferently.   The driver felt a chill and trembled slightly.   It was obviously just a little girl who was powerless, how could she show such a shocking momentum?   "Yes... I'm sorry!"   Under the pressure of Tang Xi's eyes, the driver apologized reluctantly.   Tang Xi said in a cold voice: "The attitude is very bad and insincere."   Hearing this, Zheng Yao said again: "Lian Zhan, apologize properly."   "I'm sorry!" The driver apologized again.   "I'm sorry for what?" Tang Xi asked in a cold voice.   Zheng Yao frowned slightly, but soon returned to normal.   This little girl was obviously the one who was deliberately making things difficult for him.   The driver looked unwilling and gritted his teeth in silence.   Tang Xi glanced at him calmly and said to Zheng Yao: "Prince Zheng Yao, next time you go out, tell your men to be more careful. The streets are full of people. What if he bumps into a commoner while he's running around like this? If King Anyang knows, won't he blame you?"   Zheng Yao's smile froze. This little girl actually dared to teach him a lesson in the street?   Even so, he could only grit his teeth secretly in private, and said with a look of being taught: "The little doctor is right. I will let him be careful next time."   "In that case, Tang Xi won't delay Prince Zheng Yao's tryst with the beauty!"   Tang Xi bowed slightly to him, then retreated back to the carriage and let Tang Er drive away.   Seeing this, Tang Yi behind him hurriedly drove to catch up.   As soon as Tang Xi and his group left, Zheng Yao's face instantly turned cold.   "Prince, why are you being so polite to her?" Hong Ran was really puzzled, "She is just a lowly commoner, how can she treat you like this?"   "You don't understand!" A hint of coldness flashed in Zhengyao's eyes, and he said to Lian Zhan: "Why don't you hurry up?"   "Yes!"   The driver shuddered and hurriedly drove away from the crowd. As   soon as they left, the onlookers were instantly in an uproar.   Ever since Hong Ran called Zhengyao the prince, the onlookers had been confused, and later when they heard Zhengyao call himself the prince, they were even more confused.   "When did the Anyang Palace change the prince?" Someone wondered: "Isn't this a bastard? He was also named the prince? When did this happen?"   "Yes, isn't the prince of the Anyang Palace Zhengfan? Why do they all call Zhengyao the prince?"   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 527 The Lucky Man of Xie Mansion   They didn't think that Zhengyao was so bold that he would casually call himself the prince outside.   There must have been something they didn't know about.   Someone speculated: "Could it be that Prince Fan did something wrong, so he was removed from the position of prince?"   "It's very likely!" Someone said: "The day before New Year's Eve, I saw Prince Fan riding a horse on the street."   "I saw it too!" Another person said: "He walked for a while, and seemed to have gone to Xie Mansion, and then went in the direction of Anyang Palace. At about noon, he rode out of the city again." "Out of   the city?" Someone suspected, "Did you see him leave the city with your own eyes?"   "Of course!" The man said: "When Prince Fan came back, I was helping my brother-in-law look after the bookstore. When he left, I was waiting outside the city for my brother-in-law to come back from buying books." "   It's New Year's Day, Prince Fan is not in the city to celebrate the New Year. What is he doing out of the city?"   "Maybe he went to see Princess Anyang?"   Everyone knew that Princess Anyang went to Yunhe Temple to recuperate.   After hearing this, everyone also thought this was possible.   Someone said, "Could it be that Prince Fan had a falling out with the prince, so he was ready to break off the father-son relationship, and then the prince was angry and changed the prince?"   "No way?" Someone questioned, "Doesn't Prince Fan listen to Prince Yang the most?"   ............   For a moment, everyone guessed, but couldn't figure it out.   On this side, Tang Xi had already brought Tang Xiao and his party to the door of Xie's house.   When the guard saw that it was her, he asked another accomplice to go in quickly to inform the old master and the old lady.   But after a while, Madam Jiang and the guard came back in a hurry.   "Miss Tang!"   Madam Jiang called out from a distance with a smile.   "Madam Jiang!"   Tang Xi smiled and nodded slightly at her.   When the others saw it, they also nodded slightly.   "Young Master Tang is here too!" Madam Jiang smiled lovingly at Tang Xiao, "The old lady and the Crown Prince's wife are waiting inside. Let me lead you in quickly. Miss Tang and Young Master Tang, please follow me."   Tang Xi nodded again, holding Tang Xiao's hand and following.   "Is the city lord not at home?" Tang Xi asked.   "Yes!" Nanny Jiang smiled and said, "He went to the government office early in the morning and hasn't come back yet. He probably didn't know that Miss Tang was coming. If he knew, the city lord would not have gone out."   Tang Xi smiled and said, "If that's the case, then wouldn't I be a sinner?"   "How could that be?" Nanny Jiang smiled as she walked, "You are the lucky man of the Xie Mansion. I haven't seen the city lord smile for so many years. Since you came to Hanshui City, he has smiled often. When he is happy, the old master and the old lady are happy. When they are happy, everyone in the Xie Mansion is happy."   Tang Xi was terrified, "How can I be as powerful as you say?"   "You are the most powerful in my opinion!" Nanny Jiang smiled and said, "Not only do I think so, but the entire Xie Mansion thinks so."   In order to avoid talking about these embarrassing words, Tang Xi quickly changed the subject and said, "Are the old lady and the old master in good health these days?"   "I'm fine!" Nanny Jiang nodded and said, "I eat well, drink well, and sleep well. I'm energetic every day."   The two of them walked and talked along the way, but the people following behind didn't dare to speak.   It was their first time to the City Lord's Mansion. Guo'er and Hua'er seemed a little restrained. They didn't dare to walk fast, and could only follow Tang Xi carefully.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 528 Should I Call Him Uncle   "Are the Crown Princess and Young Master Fan here?" Tang Xi asked Nanny Jiang again before entering Changshou Garden.   Her main purpose today was to bring her younger brother to see Lu Fan.   "Yes, yes!" Jiang Mo said with a smile, "The Crown Princess and Young Master have been dining with the old lady these days. They haven't left yet. They heard you were here and were waiting."   After the group entered Changshou Garden, Nanny Jiang asked Shuhua to lead Hua'er and Guo'er to drink tea on the other side, while she led Tang Xi and Tang Xiao into the main house.   "Miss Tang is here!"   As soon as she entered the house, Xie Ling turned her head and smiled and looked over.   "Brother Xiao!"   Seeing Tang Xiao, Lu Fan ran over happily.   "Meet the old lady, Crown Princess!"   "No need to be polite!" The old lady said with a smile, "Have a seat quickly."   Seeing Lu Fan holding Tang Xiao's hand and walking away, Tang Xi quickly let go of Tang Xiao's hand and sat down next to Xie Ling.   Madam Jiang hurriedly asked someone to bring tea and snacks.   "Why did you come here suddenly today?" Xie Ling asked with a smile.   Tang Xi smiled and looked in the direction of Tang Xiao and Lu Fan and said, "Ah Xiao came to me early in the morning and said he wanted to see Faner, so I brought him here."   "Really?" Xie Ling chuckled, "Faner is always talking about going to the Xie Mansion to play with his brothers."   "This is for you!" Tang Xiao stuffed the Cuju in his hand into Lu Fan's hand and said, "I heard you said you liked it last time, so I went to ask Uncle He for a new one." "   Thank you, Brother Xiao!" Lu Fan took it and turned it around to look at it lovingly.   "I have seen Cuju in Beijing, but I have never played it." He looked at Tang Xiao and said, "Last time was the first time I played it."   "Really?" Tang Xiao said, "I didn't know how to play it before, and I had never seen it. It was He Shu who taught me to play it."   "However, let's go play it again!" Lu Fan said, "I will be back to Beijing soon. When I go back, I will have someone bring fun things in Beijing to Brother Xiao."   "Thank you!" Tang Xiao thanked him, and then changed the subject, "But, the teacher said that we can't play too much, we should read more and practice calligraphy."   "My master said so too." Lu Fan curled his lips, "But I also secretly play other things in private, otherwise, it would be boring to read or practice martial arts all day long."   "Fan'er, don't call me Brother Xiao from now on." The old lady said with a smile.   "If you don't call me Brother Xiao, what should I call you?" Lu Fan was curious.   "You should call him uncle." The old lady explained, "Ah Xiao is your aunt's younger brother. If you call him brother, you are wrong in terms of generation. You should call him uncle."   Tang Xi paused for a moment while holding the teacup, and her face instantly turned slightly red.   Seeing her expression, Xie Ling hurriedly covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled secretly.   "But, Brother Xiao is obviously the same age as me, how can I call him uncle?" Lu Fan frowned, really puzzled.   Brother Xiao is only one year older than him, but his uncle is thirteen years older than him. Calling him uncle, wouldn't that make Brother Xiao old?   "This is not a question of age, but a question of generation." The old lady explained patiently, "Didn't I tell you just now? He is your aunt's younger brother, and your aunt's younger brother is also your uncle. Do you understand?"   "Oh!" Lu Fan responded, not quite understanding.   He looked at Tang Xiao and said, "Then Brother Xiao, I will call you Uncle Xiao from now on."   "Okay!" Tang Xiao was also confused.   However, if the elders asked him to call you that, then he must call him that.   Tang Xi lowered his head and took a sip of tea, trying to cover up the embarrassment.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 529 Plum Garden   Tang Xiao and Lu Fan chatted for a few words in the room, then went out to play Cuju.   For safety reasons, the old lady asked Nanny Jiang to go with them.   For a while, only Tang Xi, Xie Ling and the old lady were left in the room.   The old lady looked at Tang Xi, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her. The more she looked at her, the wider her smile became.   "You are a little late, otherwise, let Acheng stay and talk to you."   "What are you talking about, old lady?" Tang Xi smiled, "Can't I tell you and the Crown Prince's Consort?"   "Yes!" The old lady nodded with relief.   Xie Ling smiled, "Talking to us is different from talking to Acheng."   She could see that Tang Xi was still a little restrained every time he got along with them.   "Since you are here today, you don't have to rush back." The old lady said, "Acheng will definitely come back for lunch today. You can stay with Axiao and have lunch together before going back."   Tang Xi originally wanted to sit here for a while and then leave, but seeing that Tang Xiao and Lu Fan had gone out to play, she probably wouldn't be able to have fun for a while. After thinking   about it, she could only nod in agreement.   "Your grandparents went back, and we didn't get to see them off. I only heard about this from Acheng later." The old lady said with a look of regret.   Tang Xi said, "They will come again next time."   "That's good!" The old lady sighed and said, "However, he is old, and it is tiring to travel back and forth. Why not bring them here and let them live with you."   Tang Xi explained, "The old man is homesick. He wanted to go back not long after he came, and we couldn't keep him."   "I see!" The old lady smiled, "This is how it is when he gets old. He has lived in Hanshui City for most of his life. If I, an old woman, were asked to go somewhere else, I would not want to do so."   Tang Xi nodded, "That's right."   "It gets boring sitting in the house for a long time." The old lady said to the two of them, "If you are bored, go for a walk in the garden outside and listen to calligraphy and painting. The plum blossoms in the yard are in bloom. You can go and enjoy them too."   "What about you, grandma?" Xie Ling asked.   The old lady rubbed her shoulders and said with a smile, "People, once they get old, can't sit still. Now that I'm full and sleepy, I'll go back and lie down for a while. You young people are energetic, so don't sit."   "Okay!" Xie Ling nodded slightly, "Then you take a rest first, I'll take Miss Tang out for a walk."   The old lady nodded and said with a smile, "Go."   The two stood up, nodded slightly to the old lady, and then turned and went out.   Xie Ling led Tang Xi all the way, talking about the interesting things she and Xie Cheng did when they were young. Tang Xi listened with relish and laughed from time to time.   After entering the garden, the two found a pavilion and sat down.   Looking at the plum blossoms blooming all over the yard, Xie Ling's smile faded a little.   "This plum garden was my mother's favorite when she was alive. Since she passed away, Ah Cheng would come here every day when the flowers bloomed and sit for a while."   She looked up at Tang Xi and smiled, "However, since he met you, he hasn't come here much this year. When he comes occasionally, his mood is not as heavy as before."   Tang Xi smiled lightly and didn't say anything.   In fact, she didn't know what to say.   "Miss Tang, I have known you for so long, but I haven't formally thanked you once!" Xie Ling held her hand and said softly, "Thank you for curing my grandmother's illness, and thank you for letting Ah Cheng walk out of the past."   　Update notice: I am going on a long trip today and am still waiting for the bus at the station. I will take a day off and update together tomorrow! ! ! ! !   　　   　   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 530 Mutual Blessing   Xie Ling looked up at the plum blossoms in full bloom in the garden, her eyes dimmed.   "He has been quiet since he was a child, and he doesn't like to talk. He won't tell us what's on his mind, and he keeps everything to himself. Sometimes, I even feel that I'm useless. As the eldest sister, my brother has to take care of me in return."   She smiled bitterly at Tang Xi, with a faint mist in her eyes, "But since he met you, Miss Tang, he has become much more cheerful."   After that, she held Tang Xi's hand again and said softly, "Miss Tang, no, it should be Xiaoxi, thank you! It's his blessing for our Acheng to meet you."   Tang Xi smiled faintly, "Meeting Acheng is also my blessing!"   It can be said that they are each other's blessing!   The girl in front of him had bright eyes, and when she smiled, her eyes were as bright as stars, sparkling.   Xie Ling smiled sincerely, feeling relieved that her brother could meet such a sensible girl.   She sighed and said, "Actually, Ah Cheng had a close friend before, but because of some things that happened later, we didn't have much contact after that."   "Close friend?" Tang Xi pondered and said, "The one the Crown Princess is talking about should be City Lord Chen, right?"   Xie Ling was stunned when she heard this, "Did Ah Cheng mention him to you?"   Tang Xi said, "Not much, but I have met City Lord Chen."   Xie Ling was surprised, "Have you met Ah Luo? Where did you meet him?"   "Hanshui City!" Tang Xi said, "His son was addicted to Fanghua. A few months ago, he brought his son to find Boss Lin to detoxify him. Boss Lin couldn't detoxify him, so he brought him to Xie Mansion and asked me to help detoxify him. Didn't you hear about it?"   "He has been to Hanshui City and has a son?" Xie Ling was surprised, "When did he get married? Why don't I have any news?"   To her, Chen Luo is just like Xie Cheng, both of them are her younger brothers.   Since Chen Jiang passed away, Chen Luo has been alienated from both her and Xie Cheng.   For so many years, she hasn't seen Chen Luo again.   Tang Xi shook her head, "I only met City Lord Chen last year, and I know that he has a three-year-old child. I don't know anything else."   "What's his wife's name? Have you heard of it?" Xie Ling asked.   "I heard that she was Boss Lin's junior sister, Ningzhu, but she's no longer with us."   Xie Ling was slightly stunned, "No longer with us, what does that mean?"   Tang Xi said, "I heard that she died of illness."   "So that's it!" Xie Ling frowned, "Then how is A Luo?"   Unexpectedly, after this separation, she didn't even get to drink Chen Luo's wedding wine.   Tang Xi smiled faintly, "With little A Ning around, City Lord Chen shouldn't feel lonely."   "Little A Ning?" Xie Ling raised her eyes slightly, "But his son?"   "Yeah." Tang Xi nodded, "He's already three years old and very well-behaved."   "What kind of poison is Fang Hua Yin? Is it difficult to cure?"   Xie Ling didn't understand these things, and she was a little curious.   Lin Yuetong was a member of the Poison Sect, and it seemed that she was also the favorite disciple of Palace Lord Hua, so she knew about this.   What kind of poison was it that even Lin Yuetong couldn't cure?   "I heard that to cure this poison, a piece of flesh from the mother is needed." Tang Xi said, "However, Ningzhu is gone, so the poison of little An Ning has never been cured, and Lin Yuetong can only suppress it."   "Is it better now?" Xie Ling looked at her expectantly and asked.   "It's better." Tang Xi smiled lightly, "The poison has been cured by me."   "That's good!" Xie Ling breathed a sigh of relief, "A Luo doesn't have many relatives around him anymore, and now, having a child by his side is not bad."   (End of this chapter)
