Chapter 531 Guan Family Matters   "Princess, the prince and the city lord are back!"   Manxiang, who was sent by Xie Ling to prepare tea, came in with tea and announced in a low voice.   "They are back?"   Xie Ling smiled slightly and said to Tang Xi, "Xiaoxi, do you want to continue sitting or go back now?"   She felt that Tang Xi should want to stay with Xie Cheng more than sitting with her.   "Then does the princess want to go back or continue sitting?" Tang Xi asked back.   Xie Ling pondered for a moment and smiled, "How about this, you wait here, I'll let Acheng come to find you."   Seeing Tang Xi stunned, Manxiang smiled secretly.   "Then let's do this!"   Xie Ling smiled and said, pulling Manxiang out of the plum garden.   Tang Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, sighed softly, and could only sit there and wait.   After about half a quarter of an hour, Tang Xi saw a slender white figure walking in at the entrance of the plum garden.   Today's winter sun is hiding in thick clouds, so the sunlight is not as strong as in the past few days, so it can't dispel the cold.   Tang Xi put her hands to her lips, blew a few times, rubbed them, and sat there, waiting for the white figure to come in.   "Are you cold?"   A cold but caring voice came from the side.   She raised her eyes slightly, and saw a handsome man walking towards her quickly through the plum blossom forest.   "Not bad!"   Tang Xi put her hands into her long sleeves and said with a smile.   Xie Cheng took off his cloak and put it on her, "How about this, is it warmer?"   The cloak was just right when it was worn on him, but it was too long when it was put on her.   "You wear it, I'm not cold."   Tang Xi pulled off the cloak he put on her, and pouted, "I look ugly in it."   Xie Cheng chuckled, "Keeping warm is important, let's go back to Moyuan Pavilion, there is a greenhouse there."   "Okay." She just got up, and seemed to remember something, looking at the tea on the table and asked, "Don't you need to clean up these things?"   "No, someone will come to clean them up in a while."   He said, taking the cloak from her hand again and putting it back on her.   The long cloak dragged in the snow, leaving a long trail.   After returning to Moyuan Pavilion, Tang Xi took off the cloak on her body.   Mo Yi was not seen today, and another servant brought tea to the two of them. After   taking a sip of warm tea, Tang Xi looked at Xie Cheng and asked, "Didn't you go to the government office? Why did you come back so early?"   "I just went to deal with something." He hung up the cloak and sat down opposite her, "That's it, Master Guan's daughter."   "What happened to Master Guan's daughter?" Curious.   "She divorced her husband."   Tang Xi: "Why?"   Xie Cheng said: "Her husband fell in love with a young widow, and the young widow is pregnant."   Tang Xi sneered, "It's hard enough to follow a man like this. Divorce is the best decision."   Xie Cheng nodded in agreement, "Indeed."   "So how did it go?"   Tang Xi knew in her heart that if both parties agreed, they would not go to the government office.   It seems that the man did not agree to the divorce.   "It was originally handled, but Guan Sisi has two children. The older one is fourteen years old, and the younger one is eleven or twelve years old. She wants to take the two children back to the Guan family, but the Bao family disagrees."   The Bao family is Guan Sisi's husband's family.   Tang Xi hesitated and said, "Most people probably won't agree to this, right?"   After all, the children are already in their teens. No one would be happy if they were taken away after being raised to this age, right?   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 532 Nothing to be surprised about   Xie Cheng said: "The problem is that these two children are willing to follow Guan Sisi to leave the Bao family. Besides, strictly speaking, these children were raised by the Guan family."   Tang Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, "What do you mean?"   Xie Cheng smiled faintly and said: "The Bao family is not well off, and they rely on the Guan family for support. If they leave these two children, the Guan family will definitely not ignore them. However, now that the two children want to leave with Guan Sisi, the Bao family will really be desperate in the future."   "So, they went to the government office again today?" Tang Xi asked.   "Yes." Xie Cheng nodded slightly, "They want to keep the two children."   "Then what happened in the end?" Tang Xi said: "Did it solve it?"   "Solved." Xie Cheng said in a calm voice: "The Bao family left the two children just for money. Master Guan gave them fifty taels, and the matter was solved."   Fifty taels, for people like them, is indeed not much, but for the Bao family, it can last for several years.   Of course, the premise is to live frugally.   Tang Xi smiled faintly, thinking that the reason why the Bao family was so fearless was probably because they thought that the young widow had some flesh and blood of the Bao family, so even if the grandchildren were given to Guan Sisi, they would still have more.   Speaking of Master Guan, Tang Xi thought of Doctor Guan again. She hadn't seen Doctor Guan for a long time.   I don't know how Pu Xiaocui's illness is.   During the Chinese New Year, she sent New Year's goods to Wu Tong and others, but she didn't go to greet them.   "What are you thinking about?"   Seeing that she was silent, Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked.   "Nothing!" She shook her head faintly and smiled, "I just think that my rouge shop should be reopened."   Xie Cheng picked up the teacup and chuckled, "Your shop has made more losses than profits. Otherwise, if you keep running it like this, you will have to close it sooner or later."   He had never seen anyone do business like this.   "That's right!" Tang Xi smiled proudly.   "By the way! Sit for a while, I'll get you something."   After Xie Cheng said that, he got up and went back to the bedroom. After a while, he came out holding a box.   "What is this?"   Isn't it another gift or something?   "Here are 100,000 taels, which were obtained from the sale of several pieces of jewelry in Hanshui City. I don't know how the ones in Beijing are selling."   Tang Xi understood as soon as Xie Cheng finished explaining.   It should be said that she sold some of the things she got from the pirates.   "Thank you!" Tang Xi smiled and took it.   Xie Cheng squatted beside her, and saw her happily flipping through the banknotes, and couldn't help laughing.   His little girl is really a little money-grubber.   It was fine when she had no money in the past, but now that she is rich, she is still as greedy as before.   "If you like, wait until you marry into the Xie Mansion, and the Xie Mansion's bank will be yours."   Tang Xi's hand flipping the banknotes paused slightly, and then sneered, "I don't want it."   "Why?" Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Don't you like counting banknotes?"   "I only like counting my own." She snorted coldly and said proudly, "Other people's banknotes are not mine, I'm not interested in counting them."   She doesn't have the time to spare.   Xie Cheng sneered, dragged a mat from the side, and sat down beside her.   "Do you want me to help you count?" He supported the table with one hand, propped up his right cheek and looked at her with a smile.   "No need, no need! I know how to count." She smiled, put the banknotes back into the box, closed it, and hid it.   Xie Cheng was no longer surprised by her tricks of suddenly taking out things or making things disappear.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 533 Letter from King Sang Yu   Fortunately, Tang Xi had some sense and didn't do this in front of others, otherwise, others would be scared to death by her sooner or later.   It was time for lunch, but no one came to notify them to go to Changshou Garden for lunch.   Tang Xi was not in a hurry. She had eaten in the morning and had just drunk several cups of tea. Now, she was not hungry.   She was not in a hurry, and Xie Cheng was even less anxious. So, the two of them sat idle in Moyuan Pavilion.   After a while, the servant led a group of servants in.   Tang Xi was slightly stunned, but Xie Cheng seemed to know something, just raised his eyebrows and smiled faintly.   The servant set the table and retreated again.   "Let's go, eat first."   Xie Cheng put the notes in his hand aside, pulled her up and walked to the dining table to sit down.   "Didn't you say that we were going to Changshou Garden for lunch?" She asked in confusion.   "Grandmother is very understanding and wants us to be alone for a while, so she asked someone to send the food to us."   Xie Cheng said, and put the rice in front of her, picked up a pair of chopsticks and put them in her hands, "Eat quickly."   Tang Xi held the chopsticks and hesitated, "A Xiao is still in Changshou Garden."   "Don't be afraid." Xie Cheng said, "With Fan'er as a companion, it should be fine."   Hearing this, Tang Xi thought about it and finally nodded.   "Here, the braised prawns you like."   Xie Cheng peeled a prawn and put it in her bowl.   When he was in Yanhai Town before, he found that Tang Xi especially liked to eat prawns.   So later, every time there were prawns on the table, he would peel them for her consciously.   Tang Xi picked up a piece of stewed mutton, "You eat too!"   "You eat first, I'm not hungry yet." Xie Cheng said, and quickly peeled another prawn for her.   After lunch, Mo Yi came back.   Seeing Tang Xi was also there, he was a little surprised, but soon, he hurriedly called out: "Master, Miss Tang."   "Why are you back?" Xie Cheng looked at him in confusion.   "Master, I received this!"   Mo Yi said, and handed over an envelope.   Xie Cheng took it in confusion, and when he saw the envelope, he found that it was for him.   He opened the envelope and took out the letter. When he finished reading the contents of the letter, his brows twisted instantly.   "What's wrong?"   Seeing his sudden change of expression, Tang Xi asked in confusion.   Xie Cheng said in a calm voice: "It's a reply from King Sang Yu."   "A reply from King Sang Yu?" Mo Yi was stunned, "Master, are you sure it's not fake?"   The letter was sent from Hanshui City. Even if it was sent at full speed, it would take a long time for King Sang Yu to receive it.   It's too strange that there was a reply before we knew whether the letter was delivered.   "No wonder Deputy General Yao dared to do this." Xie Cheng said thoughtfully.   Tang Xi and Mo Yi looked at him puzzled.   Xie Cheng explained calmly, "King Sangyu is not at the border. He is now in a small town in Dark Night City."   "What?!" Moyi was shocked, "What is King Sangyu doing in a small town in Dark Night City?"   "It seems that someone forged an imperial edict to recruit him into the palace. He just arrived in Dark Night City and found that something was wrong. After receiving my letter, he became suspicious."   Moyi was shocked again, "Who is so bold that he even dares to forge an imperial edict?"   If this is discovered, he will be beheaded.   "Humph!" Xie Cheng sneered, "Who else can be so bold except Prince Luo?"   "Luo...Prince Luo?" Moyi frowned, "Does the Queen Mother know about this?"   Xie Cheng's expression was slightly cold, and he looked at Moyi and said, "Go and prepare paper and pen, I will write a letter to His Majesty."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 534 There is a traitor   After Xie Cheng finished writing the letter, he handed it to Mo Yi and asked him to have someone get up and send the letter to the capital immediately.   Without His Majesty's jade seal, King Sang Yu would not be fooled.   Now, Xinyi Kingdom is eyeing him covetously. His Majesty will not casually recruit King Sang Yu into the palace unless there is something serious.   But King Sang Yu said in the letter that someone had falsely conveyed to him an imperial decree saying that someone wanted to usurp the throne and asked him to lead his troops back to the capital as soon as possible.   There must be a traitor around His Majesty.   As for who this traitor is, he can't guess it for the time being.   He can't enter the palace at any time, so he can only remind Emperor Yan to pay attention.   "How can we be sure that the letter was written by King Sang Yu?" Tang Xi asked the doubts in his heart.   After all, notes can also be forged.   "I have seen King Sang Yu's notes, and there is this."   Xie Cheng took out a token from the envelope.   Tang Xi took it and saw a "Sang" character engraved on it.   "This is the token of King Sangyu. The words on it were carved by the Queen Mother herself, and the words copied by the Queen Mother were the handwriting of the former Queen. Not many people know about this."   Xie Cheng also heard about it from Emperor Yan by accident. Emperor Yan also had a token with the word "Yan" carved on it, which he had the honor of seeing.   It is said that even Prince Luo did not know about this.   "Then... did King Sangyu say anything else?" Tang Xi asked.   Xie Cheng said in a calm voice: "He asked me to pay more attention to King Anyang."   He concluded that this letter must have come from King Sangyu based on this sentence alone.   Because, in his letter to King Sangyu, he did not mention King Anyang at all.   Moreover, as far as it seems at present, the other party is unlikely to abandon King Anyang as a chess piece in order to confuse him.   Because the current King Anyang is still very useful to them.   Without King Anyang, they would be equivalent to losing a God of Wealth. They would not do such a thing casually.   After all, the crown prince of Xinyi Kingdom just lost tens of millions. If he loses King Anyang again, he might really want to commit suicide by jumping into the sea.   Tang Xi took a sip of tea and asked thoughtfully, "What are you going to do next?"   Xie Cheng said calmly, "I'm going to Dark Night City."   He was going to meet King Sangyu and discuss what to do next.   "Go to Dark Night City?" Tang Xi's eyes lit up, "Can I go with you?"   "Okay!" He nodded slightly.   Tang Xi grinned, "When are you leaving?" Xie Cheng   said, "Tonight."   "So soon?" Tang Xi was a little embarrassed. Xie Cheng   raised his eyebrows, "What's wrong? Is there anything else to do?"   "Or, you can leave first." Tang Xi said, "Now, Dad is still in Zhongwang Village, and Xiao is the only one at home. I'm afraid he won't get used to it."   The academy will start school after the Lantern Festival on the 15th.   Today is only the seventh day of the first lunar month, and there are still eight days before the Lantern Festival, and there are still four or five days before Yang's funeral.   In other words, she has to wait four or five days before she can leave.   Xie Cheng said, "If you don't mind, you can send Xiao to Xie's house to keep Fan'er company."   He just wanted the little girl to go with him selfishly, he didn't want to experience the feeling of living a year in a day.   Tang Xi hesitated and said, "Will it be troublesome?"   "No." Xie Cheng smiled faintly, "Fan'er will not go back until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. He will be bored alone in the house. If Xiao is here, the two of them may be happier."   Tang Xi hesitated and said, "Then... I will ask Xiao now. If he is willing, I will leave with you tonight. If not, you go first."   "Okay!" He nodded slightly.   He pulled her up and said, "Let's go find Xiao now."   Tang Xi nodded, "Okay!"   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 535 She is Shy   When the two arrived at Changshou Garden, Lu Huai was looking at them with an ambiguous expression.   Xie Cheng gave him a warning look, and he coughed lightly and quickly retracted his gaze.   Xie Ling covered her lips and laughed secretly, while the old lady said with a smile: "I'm here, did you eat well?"   "Hello, grandmother."   After Xie Cheng bowed, he stood aside.   "Hello, old lady, prince, and princess, we...had a good meal!"   Tang Xi glanced at Xie Cheng and smiled.   The three of them smiled and nodded slightly at her.   "Hurry up and sit down." The old lady said.   "Why didn't I see the old man today?" Tang Xi was puzzled.   The old lady smiled and said, "He went out with Mr. Qu early in the morning, and he hasn't come back yet." Old   Master Xie couldn't sit still. When he had nothing to do, he would go to Mr. Qu to play chess, or go fishing together.   However, it was icy and snowy now, and there was no place for them to fish, so it was estimated that he went to play chess.   "How about we have dinner here as well?" the old lady suggested.   "Grandma, you actually want Xiaoxi to stay, right?" Xie Ling joked.   "Really?" The old lady said with a smile, "If Xiaoxi hadn't come of age yet, I'm afraid I would have been eager to come and ask for marriage on behalf of Acheng."   Tang Xi glared, then lowered her eyes embarrassedly.   Xie Cheng looked at her and saw her lips slightly pursed, her fair face flushed with a faint blush, and he couldn't help but smile silently.   He just heard him say in a light voice, "She is shy, grandma and sister, please don't tease her."   Xie Ling smiled lightly, looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma, look, she hasn't even married yet, but she's already protected."   "It should be!" The old lady said happily, "She's protected well. The men of our Xie family should love their wives."   The men of other families have three wives and four concubines, and the old lady really doesn't like it.   How comfortable it is for the family to live in peace and quiet, but they have to invite those shady and seductive women to come in and disturb the peace of the house.   Lu Huai smiled and said, "Grandma, although I am not the man of the Xie family, I also love my wife, Ling'er, don't you think so?"   Xie Ling gave him a glare when she heard it, and said to the old lady with a smile: "Grandma, he is waiting for you to praise him."   The old lady laughed and nodded, saying, "The prince deserves to be praised."   If the old lady had not been impressed by Lu Huai's self-discipline, she would not have married Xie Ling.   After hearing this, Lu Huai smiled proudly at Xie Ling, and Xie Ling rolled her eyes at him, looking a little helpless.   Tang Xi sat there and dared not speak. She looked around and saw that Tang Xiao was not in the room, and Lu Fan was nowhere to be seen.   I don't know if he hasn't come back from playing football yet, or if he went out to play again after eating.   Xie Cheng seemed to see her doubts, and asked hurriedly: "Why don't you see Fan'er and Xiao?"   "The two of them?" Lu Huai said, "They took Manxiang out to play again."   The old lady frowned slightly, and said to Nanny Jiang, "It's freezing cold, tell them not to play outside, go and call them back."   "Yes!"   Nanny Jiang hurried out after receiving the order.   After a while, Nanny Jiang and Manxiang brought the two boys back.   Lu Fan was holding Cuju, holding Tang Xiao and following Nanny Jiang step by step, while Manxiang held Tang Xiao's other hand.   "Old lady, everyone is back!" Nanny Jiang came in and reported with a smile.   The old lady ordered: "Quickly pour them two bowls of ginger soup to drive away the cold."   Upon hearing this, Nanny Jiang turned around and went out again.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 536 Agree (Update)   "Sister!"   Upon seeing Tang Xi, Tang Xiao immediately ran over.   Seeing that his cheeks were red from the cold, she said helplessly: "Did you have fun?"   "Yeah!" Tang Xiao nodded obediently.   Tang Xi looked at Lu Fan, whose face was also red from the cold, and couldn't help but smile.   She raised her eyes to look at Xie Cheng, who understood and said to the old lady: "Grandma, Xixi and I have something to ask Xiao, let's go out first."   "Is there anything that can't be said here?" The old lady was puzzled.   Xie Cheng said in a calm voice: "It's not a big deal, just a few questions."   "Okay!" The old lady nodded slightly, "Then you go and ask, go to the cubicle and ask, don't go out, the child has been playing for so long, he must be frozen."   Xie Cheng nodded.   Tang Xi smiled at the few people and said, "Please sit down for a while, we will be back soon."   The old lady nodded, "Go!"   Tang Xiao followed them out with a puzzled look on his face, and then went to the compartment.   "Sister, what do you want to tell me?"   Tang Xiao couldn't wait to ask as soon as he sat down.   Tang Xi said, "That's right, sister may have to go on a long journey tonight. I want to ask you if you are willing to stay in Xie Mansion for a while? Wait for father to come back, and then let him come to pick you up."   Tang Xiao pouted and said aggrievedly, "Where are you going, sister?"   Grandpa and grandma had just left, and father went to Zhongwang Village again. Originally, sister was left, but now sister had to go on a long journey again.   "To Dark Night City." Tang Xi touched his head and said, "If you don't want to, sister will wait for father to come back before leaving."   Hearing this, Tang Xiao hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "Don't worry, sister, I can do it alone, and He Shu and others are with me."   He couldn't delay sister from doing business.   Tang Xi shook her head, "Sister is not worried about this. Sister is worried that bad people will enter the mansion when Sister is not here."   "You don't have to worry about this." Xie Cheng said, "If Xiao doesn't want to live in Xie Mansion, I can send a few people over."   Hearing this, Tang Xi looked at Tang Xiao and asked again, "Don't you want to live here and play Cuju with Xiao Fan?" Tang   Xiao thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes."   "Then you can stay!" Tang Xi rubbed his little head and smiled, "Living here, you can read and write with Xiao Fan, and you can also play together."   "Okay!"   Tang Xiao finally agreed.   Tang Xi smiled. In fact, living in Tang Mansion is also good, but there is always a lack of a companion. He   Shu and the others are very good, but there is always a master-servant relationship between them, so they are not very open.   In Xie Mansion, at least there is Lu Fan who lets go and makes trouble with him. After   the three returned to the main house, Tang Xi entrusted Tang Xiao to Xie Ling and the old lady and asked them to help take care of him.   When the old lady heard that she was going on a long journey, she was a little worried at first, but when she heard that her grandson was going too, her expression brightened instantly.   However, Lu Huai suddenly raised his eyebrows. He always felt that Xie Cheng seemed to be hiding something from him.   Tang Xi smiled and said, "Then I'll go back and pack my things. Xiao will be left to the old lady and the Crown Prince's Consort!"   "Great!" Lu Fan was so happy that he danced with joy, "Brother Xiao, no, Uncle Xiao, we can finally play together again!"   Tang Xiao jumped and danced as he was led by him, and couldn't help but giggle.   Tang Xi smiled with relief, and after talking to a few people, she prepared to go back home and pack her things.   She only left He Shu behind, and took the rest of the people back to the Tang Mansion.   　That's all for now, and I'll continue to make up for it later   　　   　   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 537 The Risk is Too Great (Update 2)   As soon as Tang Xi left Xie's house, Xie Cheng returned to Moyuan Pavilion.   Lu Huai asked Xie Ling to take Lu Fan and Tang Xiao back first, and he took a detour to Moyuan Pavilion.   In the room, Xie Cheng was sitting in front of the charcoal basin, flipping through a book of notes slowly.   When he heard footsteps approaching, he raised his eyes slightly and looked over indifferently.   Lu Huai grinned, "You said you were going on a long journey with Miss Tang, where are you going?"   Xie Cheng glanced at him indifferently, and put his eyes back on the notes again, "What does it have to do with you?"   "Hey, don't say that!" Lu Huai smiled, sat opposite him and said, "Tell me, are you going to elope?"   Xie Cheng put the notes aside, raised his eyes and looked at him expressionlessly, and didn't say anything for a long time.   "Hehe, hehe——" Lu Huai laughed dryly, "If it's not elopement, then what is it, going to travel?"   "Are you free?" Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows.   "No need!" Lu Huai said, "I just wanted to come over and ask if something happened again?"   "Why are there so many things?" Xie Cheng said calmly, "Why are you asking this? Do you want to go too?"   "No!" Lu Huai waved his hand.   His wife and children are here, and he is not going anywhere.   The last time he followed Xie Cheng to Beisang City, it was his wife's request, and he had no choice.   "If I don't go, why are you asking so many questions?"   Lu Huai snorted, "Isn't it what you want if I don't go?"   "It's good to know." Xie Cheng said calmly, "Take good care of everyone at home. I don't know how long it will take me to come back."   "Where are you going?" Lu Huai frowned, his tone was much more serious than when he came in.   Xie Cheng poured himself a cup of tea and whispered, "Something happened, I have to go to Dark Night City."   "Dark... Dark Night City?" Lu Huai was shocked.   You know, the last time Xie Cheng went to Dark Night City was several years ago.   At that time, Chen Luo sneaked into Xie's house and wanted to kill him, but he was accidentally poisoned. The   reason he went there that time was to deliver the antidote to Chen Luo.   The main city of Dark Night City is actually not far from Hanshui City, but the town where King Sangyu is located is relatively far away.   "You are not going to find Chen Luo, are you?" Lu Huai raised his eyebrows and asked.   "What do you want to find him for?" Xie Cheng said with a smile: "Do you think I am very idle and go to find those unimportant people whenever I have time?"   "Unimportant?" Lu Huai sneered, "You are just being stubborn."   Xie Cheng picked up the miscellaneous notes again, flipped through them casually and said: "If there is nothing else, go back."   "You won't die if you tell me." Lu Huai snorted coldly, poured a cup of tea and drank it all, wiped his mouth and said: "You don't have to tell me, I have my own way."   After that, he got up and left.   Not long after he left, he turned back.   Xie Cheng hooked the corners of his lips and said nothing.   Lu Huai walked back to his seat with a frustrated look on his face and sat down, complaining: "This Mo Yi is getting more and more disobedient. He actually doesn't know anything when asked. It's really too much."   Mo Yi was smart. Seeing that he came to find Xie Cheng and then to find him, he knew that the master didn't intend to let Lu Huai know about this matter.   After all, this matter was too risky. He knew in his heart that his master didn't want to involve the Anding Marquis Mansion.   "Are you really not going to tell the truth?" Lu Huai asked weakly.   "There are reasons why you are not allowed to know some things." Xie Cheng said in a light voice: "It's nothing, just go back quickly."   He stood up, rolled up the notes into a cylinder, raised the corner of his lips slightly, and turned back to the bedroom.

 Chapter 538 Confused   Seeing that he had no intention of telling him the truth, Lu Huai knew that even if he asked more, he would not tell him.   He sighed lightly and could only get up and leave.   Tang Xi told housekeeper Ge that she was going out, and told her that when Tang Zheng came back, he should go to Xie Mansion to pick up Tang Xiao.   After hearing this, housekeeper Ge hesitated and said, "Miss, when are you going to invite Aunt Mi?"   Tang Xi said, "She can come whenever she wants."   Housekeeper Ge nodded, "I know!"   Tang Xi nodded, packed up her things and went out.   For a while, the huge Tang Mansion was without a master, but with housekeeper Ge and Aunt Qi in charge, no one dared to jump up.   Tang Xi took her and Tang Xiao's gifts back to Xie Mansion, personally delivered the things to Tang Xiao, and told him to be obedient before meeting Xie Cheng at Moyuan Pavilion.   Shortly after dinner, Mo Yi drove the carriage to the front yard, and the three of them left Hanshui City overnight.   One month later.   A carriage slowly drove on the streets of Dark Night City.   At this time, it was just dawn and there were not many people walking on the streets.   "Master, let's go into the city." Mo   Yi slowed down the car and reminded in a low voice.   Xie Cheng glanced at Tang Xi who was sleeping soundly in his arms, and whispered: "Let's find an inn to rest first, and then go to Qinghua Town at noon."   "Yes!"   Mo Yi finally stopped the carriage in front of an inn. After getting off the carriage, he whispered: "Master, how many rooms do you want."   Xie Cheng said in a low voice: "Two."   After Mo Yi responded lightly, he entered the inn and asked the shopkeeper for two first-class rooms.   Xie Cheng got off the carriage with Tang Xi in his arms, and followed the waiter to the guest room on the second floor.   As soon as he bent down to put the person on the couch, Tang Xi slowly woke up.   "Are we there?" She looked at him and spoke blankly.   Xie Cheng was stunned. There was still a bit of haziness in the girl's eyes, and it was obvious that she was not fully awake.   Maybe because she had been lying in his arms for too long, her hair was a little messy, and her small and beautiful red lips were slightly open at the moment, looking at her, she actually had a bit of lazy charm.   Xie Cheng's breathing became more rapid, and he didn't know when his fingers had landed on the bright red lips, gently stroking them.   "Hmm?" She frowned in confusion.   His hand paused slightly, and he came back to his senses, and hurriedly smiled and said, "Not yet."   "Oh." She responded softly, closed her eyes again, curled up and murmured, "Then I'll sleep a little longer."   Xie Cheng sat up straight, covered her with a quilt, took a deep breath, and hurriedly got up and walked to the tea table and sat down.   The girl was still young, what was he thinking just now?   He patted her face a few times and drank two cups of tea in a row before his breathing slowed down slightly.   However, the residual warmth on his fingers made him lose his mind again.   Turning his head to look at the little girl sleeping soundly on the couch, he smiled silently, stood up and walked to the door, opened the door and walked out, then gently closed the door again.   Mo Yi was about to lie down to rest when he heard a knock on the door.   He hurriedly got up, walked over and opened the door.   When he saw the person standing outside the door, he was   slightly stunned, "Master?" He called out uncertainly.   "Yeah." Xie Cheng responded indifferently, "Go prepare another room."   "Ah?" Mo Yi was stunned, "What's wrong with the master and Miss Tang?"   Xie Cheng shook his head slightly, "Nothing, I'll live in this room, you open another one."   "Oh."   Mo Yi looked at him puzzledly, then shook his head and strode out.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 539 Panic   When Tang Xi woke up completely, she found herself lying in an unfamiliar room.   She was slightly stunned, then stood up and looked around the room, and found that it looked like the common furnishings in an inn.   Thinking that it should be the room that Xie Cheng booked, but she didn't see him, which made Tang Xi feel a little confused.   On the way here, that guy was shameless and always rushed to stay in the same room with her.   But today he didn't show up, which was really rare.   She got up from the bed, and just as she opened the door, she saw Xie Cheng just walked out of the next room.   When their eyes met, Xie Cheng lowered his eyes and smiled, "Did you sleep well?"   Tang Xi twisted her neck, patted her shoulders a few times, and hooked her lips at him, "Very well."   "I've asked Mo Yi to ask someone to prepare water for washing. Otherwise, you come in and sit down first?"   Tang Xi's smile faded slightly, raised his eyebrows and asked, "So, you opened another room?"   "Yes." He nodded and said softly, "I'm afraid of disturbing your sleep, so I asked Mo Yi to open another room."   According to the scene this morning, if he can still lie next to the little girl safely, I'm afraid even he will doubt whether he is a man.   Even now, that scene still emerges in his mind from time to time, making him feel guilty when he sees the little girl.   "Why are your ears so red?" Tang Xi squinted suspiciously, "Are you cold?"   He coughed lightly and nodded, "Maybe."   "Why don't you go back to the house quickly?" Tang Xi said, pulling his hand and walking into the house.   Xie Cheng looked at the little hand holding his three fingers, and his cold eyes softened instantly.   Why didn't he notice that the little girl's hands were so soft before?   "Are you still cold?"   After entering the room, Tang Xi moved the charcoal basin over and asked in a low voice.   "Oh," Xie Cheng shook his head, "not cold anymore."   His eyes fell on the bright red, and his eyes gradually became hot.   Noticing his hot gaze, Tang Xi raised her eyes slightly.   Xie Cheng hurriedly looked away, picked up the teapot and poured tea, "Do you want... do you want tea?"   "I haven't rinsed my mouth yet, and..."   Tang Xi touched the teapot and looked at him in confusion, "This tea is cold."   "Really?"   He put the teacup back on the table unnaturally and smiled at her.   "What's wrong with you?" Tang Xi frowned, "Are you sick?"   Just now, only her ears were red, but now, even her face and neck were red.   His skin was originally white, so the redness was particularly obvious.   "I'm fine!" He coughed lightly, "Maybe the charcoal basin was moved too close and it was a little hot."   Tang Xi didn't believe it. She reached out to touch his forehead, but he stepped back in panic.   Her hand paused, and she looked at him with a look of confusion and hurt.   Is he... resisting herself?   Xie Cheng felt as if something had stung his heart, and there was a slight pain.   He hurriedly held her hand and explained, "I'm really fine, I just..."   "Just what?"   Tang Xi felt that something was wrong with Xie Cheng today.   He took a deep breath and said calmly, "It's just... I'm afraid that if I get too close to you, I won't be able to control myself."   "Can't control it?"   Tang Xi was stunned, as if she thought of something, and her face suddenly became hot.   "You..." She bit her lip, blushing and looking at him hesitantly.   Seeing her expression, Xie Cheng felt that she should understand what he meant.   He cleared his throat, "So, I didn't mean it just now."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 540 Dad Lied   The atmosphere in the room was a little awkward for a moment. Tang Xi looked up at him, then looked away, with the corners of her lips curled up unconsciously.   Xie Cheng had been paying attention to her reaction from beginning to end. When he saw the corners of her mouth rise, his heart was finally at ease.   After a while, the waiter brought water for washing.   After the three of them washed up, they had lunch in the inn before leaving.   Tang Xi lifted the curtain and looked at the street, and found that the layout of this street was actually similar to that of Hanshui City.   She was about to lower the curtain, but the carriage happened to pass by a mansion. When she saw the words "Chen Mansion" on the plaque, her eyes lit up.   "This, could it be the City Lord's Mansion of Dark Night City?"   Xie Cheng glanced at the Chen Mansion and nodded lightly, "Yes."   "Really?" Tang Xi's eyes turned slightly, she lowered the curtain, rested her head on his shoulder and said, "Since you are passing by, do you want to go in and take a look?"   "No." Xie Cheng said lightly, "It's not like you haven't seen it before."   Tang Xi curled her lips, "Okay, you don't have to go, but when you come back, put me down and I'll go in for a look."   Xie Cheng frowned, "You are not allowed to go!"   "Why?" Tang Xi snorted coldly, "It's not me who is at odds with City Lord Chen. Besides, City Lord Chen gave me a token before. If you don't go, I can go in by myself."   "I said you are not allowed to go!" He said seriously, "What's so good about the Chen Mansion? It's not as good as the Tang Mansion where you live now."   Tang Xi laughed secretly, "Okay, City Lord Xie doesn't let me go, so I won't go."   "Be good!"   He stroked her black hair lovingly, his eyes were unspeakably gentle.   When they arrived at the main entrance of Chen's house, the gate was just opened. Mo Qing looked up and saw a familiar figure driving a carriage passing by him.   "Brother!"   Mo Qing murmured in surprise.   "What's wrong?"   Chen Luo, who then led Chen Ning out, saw him staring blankly at the back of a carriage and asked in confusion.   "Master, please wait a moment. I'll be back soon."   Before Chen Luo could react, Mo Qing had already run over the eaves and walls and chased the carriage away.   "Dad, where is Mo Qing going?" Chen Ning asked blankly.   Chen Luo shook his head and looked at Mo Qing's departing back with doubt in his eyes.   He looked at the guard and said, "What did you see just now?"   The guard shook his head and said respectfully, "I didn't see the carriage, but I vaguely heard Master Mo Qing call me brother."   "Brother?"   Chen Luo's heart skipped a beat, pursed his lips, and murmured, "Could it be Mo Yi?"   "Isn't Mo Yi a subordinate of Uncle Cheng?" Chen Ning asked with his face raised.   "Uncle Cheng?" Chen Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, "Who told you to call me that?"   "Aunt Tong!" Chen Ning blinked, looked at her father with wet eyes and said, "Aunt Tong said that Dad and City Lord Xie are good friends, so she asked Ning'er to call City Lord Xie Uncle Cheng."   "This damn woman." Chen Luo looked annoyed, "If you dare to act on your own again, I will burn down her tavern."   Chen Ning chuckled, "Dad, you say that every time, but I haven't seen you really burn down Aunt Tong's tavern."   Since recovering from the illness, Chen Ning has become much more cheerful.   Chen Luo squatted down and warned, "Don't listen to your Aunt Tong next time. She is not a good person. You can't listen to her too much. Do you understand?"   "Dad is lying!" Chen Ning snorted, "Aunt Tong is not a bad person. Aunt Tong is A Niang's friend and A Ning's relative."   (End of this chapter)
