Chapter 561: Climbing the Chen Mansion (1)   This rain had been brewing for so long, Tang Xi thought it would last for a long time, but who knew that it would stop in a short while.   As the rain stopped, the white mist lingering around gradually dissipated, revealing the original appearance of the courtyard.   As soon as she opened the door, the door of the next room was also opened. She looked over, and their eyes met. They both smiled at the same time.   Xie Cheng closed the door, walked towards her, and whispered: "I'm going to the Chen Mansion. If you feel tired, you don't have to go."   Although the rain stopped, the cold was still there. He was afraid that the little girl would suffer if she followed him.   "I promised to accompany you, how can I go back on my word?" She smiled and closed the door, looking at him and smiled: "Are we leaving now?"   "Yes."   As soon as Xie Cheng nodded, he saw Mo Yi driving a carriage into the courtyard.   Tang Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Is Mo Yi going too?"   Xie Cheng chuckled, "If he doesn't go, who will be our coachman?"   "Then...what about the Left Protector and Deputy General Yao?" Tang Xi said worriedly, "Will they be rescued if we leave them here alone?"   "No." He raised his thin lips slightly and stopped her from going out, "Someone will be watching."   Tang Xi only realized it after hearing this.   She almost forgot about the shadow guards who followed Xie Cheng.   "Is Kong Yue here too?" Tang Xi asked.   Xie Cheng nodded, "Yes, she is."   "Then why didn't I see her?" Tang Xi was puzzled.   Moreover, when they were chasing the Left Protector and the others last night, they didn't see Xie Cheng calling the shadow guards to help.   "She arrived later than us."   "Is that so!"   She said why she didn't see anyone.   Because it was raining, the cobblestones on the path were shiny.   Tang Xi lowered her eyes, stepped on the cobblestone road, and let Xie Cheng hold her in his arms and walk towards the carriage.   "Master, Miss Tang." Mo Yi bowed and greeted the two.   The two nodded slightly, Xie Cheng opened the curtain, let Tang Xi get on the carriage first, and he followed closely.   After Mo Yi got on the carriage, he tidied his raincoat and hat, and then drove the carriage out of the yard.   Along the way, not only Xie Cheng had complicated feelings, but Mo Yi's feelings were also extremely complicated.   Ever since the master and Chen Luo "fell out", he and his brother haven't spoken much.   It has been several years.   When it happened, he asked Mo Qing if he wanted to go back to Xie Mansion with him.   After all, the old city lord Xie was their savior, and if they were to be loyal, they should be loyal to the people in Xie Mansion.   However, he didn't expect that after he and Mo Qing had a long talk, Mo Qing still chose to stay.   Since then, he and Mo Qing have become increasingly estranged, and later, the two of them talked like enemies.   However, perhaps he has always been the only one who treats enemies in a tone.   Over the years, he had run into Mo Qing a few times, and each time, he saw the light and expectation in Mo Qing's eyes, but each time he deliberately ignored it.   Today, when he heard his master say that he was going to the Chen Mansion, he was shocked.   After all, in recent years, unless there were special circumstances, the master would not easily step into the Dark Night City, let alone the Chen Mansion.   He didn't know what his master was thinking, he only knew that he also wanted to go to the Chen Mansion.   He wanted to see the only relative he had left in this world.   When the carriage stopped outside the Chen Mansion, Mo Yi unconsciously looked up at the plaque of the Chen Mansion.   It still looked the same as a few years ago, but the vermilion paint on the gate was much dimmer than before. I don't know if it was because the sky was dark today.   (End of this chapter)

Chapter 562 Entering Chen's Mansion (2)   Perhaps because of the rain, the guards who used to stand outside the gate were nowhere to be seen.   The vermilion gate was tightly closed, and standing outside, one could only hear the sound of the remaining raindrops.   "Master, we're here!"   Mo Yi felt a little heavy, and even his voice was a little deeper.   As early as the moment the carriage stopped, Xie Cheng knew that he had arrived.   However, since Mo Yi didn't speak, he pretended that he hadn't arrived yet.   Tang Xi glanced at him and found that there seemed to be frost between his eyebrows at this moment, which made people feel a little distant.   She held his hands with both hands, and the cold feeling pulled his thoughts back.   "Why are your hands so cold?"   He frowned slightly, and held the slender little hands with pity.   "Acheng, get off the car." She whispered.   Xie Cheng paused for a moment to hold her hand, and then smiled faintly and said, "Okay."   Tang Xi breathed a sigh of relief, pulled back her hand, and lifted the curtain for him.   Xie Cheng got off the carriage first with an umbrella in hand. After he opened the umbrella, he helped her out of the carriage.   Mo Yi stepped forward and knocked on the door cymbals a few times.   After a while, the door creaked open and a head was pulled out. When he saw Mo Yi, he couldn't help but wonder, "Lord Mo Qing, when did you go out again?"   He remembered that Lord Mo Qing had just returned to the mansion with the master and the young master not long ago. How come he appeared outside the door again?   Tang Xi chuckled and walked forward with Xie Cheng.   It has been a long time since they came here, and even the guards have been replaced by new people.   "We are looking for Chen... the city lord." Mo Yi paused and forcibly changed the word "Luo" to "city lord".   "You are not Lord Mo Qing!" The guard was surprised, "Who are you all?"   Xie Cheng did not answer, but took out his token and showed it to the guard.   "Xuehua, Xie Cheng?" The guard's eyes widened, "Are you... Lord Xie Cheng?"   Xie Cheng did not nod, "Go in and inform Chen Luo, and say, I'm here to see him."   "Yes... yes!" The guard nodded tremblingly. He   hurriedly asked his companion to watch, and he quickly ran to the yard.   In the mansion, Chen Luo was sitting in the room, supervising Chen Ning to read a book, and Mo Qing was sitting beside him, throwing charcoal into the charcoal basin from time to time.   "It's very cold today, master, are you going to the government office in the afternoon?" Mo Qing asked.   Chen Luo replied in a calm voice: "There's nothing important recently, so I won't go."   Mo Qing nodded, and his eyes fell back on the charcoal basin again.   Chen Ning lowered his head, practicing calligraphy stroke by stroke, with a very focused expression, and the words he wrote were also well-written.   Chen Luo took a look, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, feeling gratified for his son's progress.   After finishing the last word, Chen Ning put down his pen, looked up at him and asked, "Dad, when are we going to Hanshui City again?"   He missed Aunt Tong so much, and he didn't know whether Aunt Tong's lover was good to her.   "Let's talk about it later." Chen Luo turned another page of the Three Character Classic, and was about to let him continue copying, but there was a knock on the door.   He just raised his eyes, and Mo Qing had already walked to the door and opened it, "Why is the housekeeper here?"   "Lord Mo... Lord Mo Qing, a guest is coming!"   "Guest?" Mo Qing frowned, "What guest?"   It had just rained, and it was still wet outside. Who knows who chose to come at this time.   "Thank you, City Lord!" The housekeeper said, "This old servant also heard it from the guard."   "Thank... Thank you, City Lord?" Mo Qing was stunned. He turned his head to look at Chen Luo, but saw that he was frozen in place.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 563 Entering Chen's Mansion (3)   "Do you want to invite the person in?"   Knowing the grudge between Xie Cheng and Chen Luo, the housekeeper spoke carefully.   "I'll go and bring the person in."   Mo Qing said, looking back at Chen Luo. Seeing that he was silent, he paused for a moment, then walked out.   When Mo Qing arrived at the door, he first nodded slightly to Xie Cheng and Tang Xi, and then looked at Mo Yi.   Mo Yi glanced at him, then looked away awkwardly.   Mo Qing smiled at Xie Cheng and said, "Come in quickly, the master is still waiting for everyone."   Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise.   He had already prepared to be refused entry, but he didn't expect that Mo Qing would say that Chen Luo was waiting for them.   "He...didn't say anything?"   This was not like Chen Luo's usual reaction.   Logically, knowing that he was coming, Chen Luo would definitely come in person. Even if he didn't do anything, he would still sneer at him and vent his anger.   "Nothing." Mo Qing smiled and said, "He's waiting for you."   Xie Cheng thought about it, and still took Tang Xi into the gate of Chen Mansion.   Seeing that Mo Yi didn't catch up, Mo Qing turned back in confusion, and frowned when he saw that he had returned to the carriage.   Just as he was about to speak, he saw Mo Yi driving the carriage towards this side.   Mo Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Mo Yi was leaving.   He looked at Mo Yi, and then strode to catch up with Xie Cheng and Tang Xi.   Xie Cheng looked around the furnishings in the yard and found that everything was the same as before, without much change.   "Lord Xie hasn't been to Chen Mansion for a few years, right?" Mo Qing smiled, "Our master hasn't been to Xie Mansion for many years. Although he didn't say it, his subordinates often saw him painting the scenes of playing with you and the Crown Prince's Consort when they were young."   Xie Cheng smiled faintly, "Really?"   It turned out that he was not the only one who missed his childhood?   Tang Xi looked at the furnishings in Chen Mansion and was surprised to find that they were almost exactly the same as those in Xie Mansion.   "Does it look familiar to you, Miss Tang?" Mo Qing asked with a smile.   Tang Xi nodded, "I've seen you at Xie's house."   Mo Qing smiled, as if he wanted to say something, but the words were swallowed back as soon as they reached his lips.   He wanted to say that the old city lord specially invited people to build the house according to the Xie's house.   However, just as he opened his mouth, he remembered that City Lord Xie probably still hated the old city lord, and if he mentioned it, he was afraid that he would be unhappy.   After Mo Yi parked the carriage, he strode after him.   Mo Qing originally looked back every two steps, but when he saw him catch up, he stopped looking back.   When they were about to enter Chen Luo's yard, Xie Cheng suddenly slowed down his pace.   Mo Qing and Mo Yi didn't notice much, but Tang Xi did.   Because he was holding her, she could sense any slight change in him.   She knew what Xie Cheng was worried about, so she considerately didn't ask.   When the four entered the yard, they saw that Chen Luo was already standing under the eaves waiting.   "City Master Chen." Tang Xi greeted him with a smile.   Chen Luo smiled at her faintly, and when he looked at Xie Cheng, the smile on his face gradually faded.   "Come in and sit down." He said in a faint voice.   Xie Cheng looked at him for a long time, and said in a faint voice: "Let's talk."   Tang Xi raised her eyes to look at Xie Cheng, and said to Mo Qing: "Where can I get warmer?"   Mo Qing said: "The warm room."   Tang Xi nodded, "Take me there to sit for a while."   She would not listen to the conversation between Xie Cheng and Chen Luo.   "Okay!" Mo Qing nodded, smiled at her and said: "Miss Tang, please follow me."   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 564 Reconciliation   Tang Xi said to Xie Cheng: "Then I'll go sit in the warm room for   a while." Xie Cheng gazed at her tenderly, and nodded with a smile on his lips.   Chen Luo said: "Mo Qing, take good care of Miss Tang."   "Yes!" Mo Qing nodded.   He looked at Mo Yi and said: "Brother, do you want to sit in the warm room together?"   Mo Yi looked at Xie Cheng and saw him nod slightly, then nodded to Mo Qing.   Mo Qing was delighted and hurriedly led Tang Xi and Mo Yi to the side.   Chen Luo raised his eyes to look at Xie Cheng and whispered: "Let's go to the study to talk."   Xie Cheng nodded, but he was confused in his heart.   Chen Luo seemed to be particularly calm today.   He was completely different from the one who wanted to draw his sword as soon as he saw him on weekdays.   The two entered the study. After Chen Luo motioned him to sit down, he asked in a low voice, "What's the matter with you coming here today?"   Xie Cheng narrowed his eyes, "Have you known something?"   He suddenly became so abnormal, he must know something.   However, where did he get the truth from? Xie Cheng was very curious.   Chen Luo sneered in a low voice, looked at him directly and said, "I know everything I should know."   "Sure enough." Xie Cheng smiled faintly. He pondered for a moment and said in a low voice, "Where did you know it?"   Chen Luo said, "I found Aunt Bi."   "Aunt Bi?" Xie Cheng was surprised, "Hasn't she left Dark Night City?"   Back then, after killing Chen Jiang, he wanted to take Aunt Bi away in order to fulfill his promise to Yan.   However, when he returned, Aunt Bi had disappeared, and she also asked a maid to leave him a message, saying that she would leave Dark Night City and never come back.   "She didn't leave Dark Night City, but she was hiding in a remote village." Chen Luo said, "I also went to town once and ran into her by chance when she came to the city to buy embroidery."   Xie Cheng smiled bitterly, "So, my coming here today seems a bit unnecessary."   Chen Luo looked at him for a long time before whispering, "I'm sorry!"   Xie Cheng was slightly stunned, but he continued, "I'm sorry! I've wronged you for so many years."   "Nothing." Xie Cheng shook his head, "The past is over."   Chen Luo nodded silently, and the study fell into silence for a while.   "From now on..." Chen Luo looked at him hesitantly.   Before he could finish his hesitation, Xie Cheng smiled and said, "We will still be friends."   Chen Luo smiled after hearing this, but his eyes became wet.   He wiped his tears, sniffed and said, "Still friends!"   Xie Cheng raised his hand and patted his shoulder gently, saying, "Grandfather, grandmother, and sister always miss you. If you have nothing to do, you can go back to see them."   "Is Sister Ling okay?" Chen Luo asked.   Xie Cheng said: "She heard Xixi say that you got married, and she came to ask me if it was true. I said yes, and she asked me if I had been in contact with you over the years, and I said yes."   After Xie Cheng finished speaking, he looked at him with a smile.   Chen Luo smiled awkwardly. This "contact" probably refers to the contact he had with him all these years when he was seeking revenge on him one-sidedly, right?   "When I got married, because... he had just passed away not long ago, so there was no big ceremony."   So many people didn't know that he was already married.   This "he" should refer to Chen Jiang.   Xie Cheng nodded, "It doesn't matter, I'll come to congratulate you when you get married again."   Chen Luo was stunned, then shook his head, "I won't marry anyone else."   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 565 Burned   If he hadn't met Ningzhu by chance, he would have planned to be alone for the rest of his life.   In this world, there may not be another woman as gentle, patient, and obedient to him as Ningzhu.   Besides, even if there is, that person would have married and had children long ago.   Xie Cheng chuckled, "It seems that you have forgotten the oath you made."   Chen Luo shook his head and smiled, "I was young and ignorant at that time, but how can I believe the oath I made casually?"   At that time, his heart and eyes were full of Xie Ling, and he even swore to Xie Cheng that he would not marry anyone else but Xie Ling in this life.   Who knew that such a thing would happen later?   "By the way." Xie Cheng asked doubtfully, "Didn't you receive the letter I sent you?"   "Letter?" Chen Luo frowned, "What letter?"   No one has sent him a letter recently.   No, he pondered and said, "Was it some time ago?"   Xie Cheng nodded, "Yes."   "Uh..."   He seemed to remember that at that time, he was drunk and Mo Qing gave him the letter. After seeing the handwriting on the envelope, he threw the letter into the charcoal basin and burned it...   The handwriting was so ugly that he could tell at a glance that it was Xie Cheng's handwriting. He   was still angry at the time...   "Remember it?" Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "You didn't burn it?"   Chen Luo coughed lightly, "I was... drunk at the time."   "Humph!" Xie Cheng sneered, "I knew it."   "What exactly is written in it?" Chen Luo was curious.   "Aren't you looking for the murderer who gave your son the addiction to Fanghua?" Xie Cheng said, "I happened to know it at the time, so I told you the truth. Since you have already burned it, let's just forget about it."   "Murderer?" Chen Luo's expression twisted, "Who is it?"   "Her? She used to be your cousin for a while."   Cousin?   Chen Luo's expression suddenly became gloomy.   Uncle and aunt had no children, they only adopted a girl.   So, the murderer that Xie Cheng mentioned should be her!   "I must kill her!" Chen Luo gritted his teeth.   When he was young, he hated Lu Yue very much, a little girl who actually killed his black dog.   That black dog was very smart, and generally would not bite people unless someone angered it.   The black dog only bit Lu Yue a few times before she killed it.   At that time, the black dog's head was broken, and it was obvious that it was hit on the head by a heavy object.   The black dog had been with him for two years, and was usually obedient. It would follow him wherever he went, playing with its tail. So, when the black dog died, he cried miserably.   As a result, he hated Lu Yue, so every time Lu Yue wanted to approach him, he avoided her with disgust.   Xie Cheng said calmly, "She's dead." "Dead   ?" Chen Luo frowned, "How did she die?"   Xie Cheng said, "She was killed by the Left Protector of the Poison Sect."   "The Left Protector of the Poison Sect?" Chen Luo frowned, "Isn't that her master?"   "Her hands and feet were chopped off, and her tongue was pulled out. She was of no use to the Left Protector if she was alive. On the contrary, she might become a burden, so she was killed."   "Her hands and feet were chopped off? Who did it?" Chen Luo couldn't sympathize with her, but felt that this person did a good job. She   couldn't even kill a child.   Such a vicious woman deserves such retribution.   "Then do you know why she gave your son the Fanghua addiction?" Xie Cheng asked.   "Why?"   "Because she likes you, she thinks that if your son dies, she will become your closest person."   Chen Luo almost vomited after hearing this.   Fortunately, his son was lucky enough to meet Lin Yuetong and Tang Xi, otherwise, he would have died long ago.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 566: Disaster   "I guessed you would have this reaction." Xie Cheng said, and stood up and said, "Since everything has been said, I won't stay any longer. Xixi is still waiting for me."   The little girl can't be kept waiting too long.   Chen Luo snorted, "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person."   Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Remember to finish what you are saying, don't leave it halfway."   "You value love over friendship."   As soon as Chen Luo finished speaking, Xie Cheng sneered disdainfully, "It's enough to know it in your heart, why bother to say it out loud to disgust yourself?"   Chen Luo chuckled, "Okay, go back."   The two walked out of the study room, talking and laughing. Chen Luo closed the door of the study room, and the two walked back.   In the warm room, Tang Xi held a teacup, looked at Mo Yi, and then looked at Mo Qing. Seeing that the two looked a little awkward, she couldn't help but find it funny.   "How about... you two find a place to talk?" She suggested.   Hearing this, Mo Qing subconsciously looked at Mo Yi, his eyes full of expectation.   They are brothers, each other's only relatives, they can't be so estranged for the rest of their lives.   Mo Yi coughed lightly and said in a light voice: "It's warmer in the room."   Tang Xi blinked when he heard it, "How about I go out and leave the space to you?"   "No, no!" Mo Qing shook his head, "The master has told me to take good care of you. It's so cold outside, how can I let you go out?"   After he said that, he looked at Mo Yi eagerly and said: "I went to the iron shop a while ago and made two daggers. They are quite sharp."   Mo Yi sighed lightly, stood up and said: "Take me to see it."   Mo Qing's eyes lit up and nodded, "Yes!"   After that, he smiled at Tang Xi and went out first.   Mo Yi glanced at Tang Xi, shrugged helplessly and said: "He is like this, silly."   The tone was somewhat helpless and doting.   Tang Xi smiled softly and watched the two brothers go out.   For a while, she was the only one left in the warm room.   She took a piece of dessert and tasted it bit by bit, but her mind could not help but turn to Xie Cheng and Chen Luo.   She didn't know how the two talked, did they have another dispute, or had they talked it out?   Looking at Chen Luo's expression today, she felt that it was very likely that they had talked it out.   While she was guessing, the door was pushed open. She looked up and saw two slender figures walking in one after another.   She looked at the two of them and raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Are you... reconciled?"   "Isn't it?" Chen Luo smiled and said, "He was in a hurry to come to you, and I can't let Miss Tang wait in vain, so I can only forgive him."   Xie Cheng sneered and looked at Tang Xi and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Who forgives who, doesn't he know it in his heart?"   Chen Luo smiled and shook his head, "Okay, you forgive me, okay?"   Seeing the two of them laughing, Tang Xi couldn't help but grin.   Xie Cheng gently rubbed her little head and pretended to be disgusted and said, "You are so silly."   Tang Xi wrinkled her nose and then smiled at him again.   "Where are Moyi and Moqing?"   Chen Luo sat aside and asked in confusion.   Tang Xi said, "They went to look at daggers. Moqing said he had made two daggers in the iron shop some time ago, and Moyi said he wanted to go and have a look."   "It's our fault!" Chen Luo sighed lightly, "It has affected the relationship between the two brothers."   Over the years, Moqing has not been much happier than him.   After all, Moyi's temper is very stubborn. When Moqing was unwilling to go back to the Xie Mansion with him, he felt that Moqing had betrayed the Xie Mansion.   So, because he didn't like him, he also disliked his younger brother.

  Chapter 567: Fighting for Lotus Root Balls   Tang Xi chuckled, "It's okay, if you reconcile, the brothers will also reconcile."   Xie Cheng and Chen Luo couldn't help but smile helplessly when they heard this.   "Why didn't I see Xiao An Ning?" Tang Xi asked Chen Luo.   Chen Luo said, "He is practicing calligraphy. I asked someone to take him back to his room."   Xie Cheng said calmly, "What's so good about practicing calligraphy? The shape is enough."   He also practiced some time ago, but as he wrote, he went back to his old style.   Chen Luo sneered, "If everyone is like you and doesn't strive for progress, then will there still be calligraphers in this world?"   "I just think my calligraphy is pretty good," Xie Cheng said calmly, "Your Majesty has praised my calligraphy."   "What are you praising you for? Not seeking refinement, but only seeking shape?" Chen Luo raised his eyebrows and asked with disdain.   Xie Cheng glanced at him calmly, "One of a kind in the world."   "Puff——"   Tang Xi couldn't help laughing.   She nodded and said, "It is indeed unique."   "Did you hear that?" He raised his eyebrows slightly at Chen Luo and said proudly, "You are the only one who doesn't know how to appreciate it."   When he was young, Chen Luo had criticized him several times for his handwriting.   Chen Luo rolled his eyes at him and suggested, "Why don't we have dinner here tonight?"   He hadn't sat at the same table with Xie Cheng for many years.   Xie Cheng said, "Call Aunt Bi as well."   Chen Luo nodded. He was thinking the same thing.   When they were young, they had dinner at their mother's house, and Aunt Bi prepared the dishes for them.   Besides, Aunt Bi had been with their mother since she was still married. She was an old lady by their mother's side and the person her mother trusted the most.   -   During dinner, the usually silent Chen Mansion suddenly burst into laughter.   "Sister Tang, you eat this!" Chen Ning picked up a fried lotus root ball that she loved the most and gave it to Tang Xi.   Tang Xi smiled and thanked her, and picked up one for him as well.   "What is this? It looks very good."   As soon as Xie Cheng finished speaking, he had already picked up the fried lotus root ball from Tang Xi's bowl with his chopsticks.   Tang Xi: ...   Chen Luo said unhappily: "Little kid, is it that serious?"   Xie Cheng raised the left corner of his mouth slightly and put the fried lotus root ball directly into his mouth.   "City Lord, are the dishes ready?" asked the housekeeper.   "Why haven't Mo Qing and Mo Yi come back yet?" Chen Luo glanced outside the door and said to the housekeeper: "Wait a little longer."   The housekeeper nodded and stepped aside.   "Sister Tang, I'll give you another one." Chen Ning picked up another one for Tang Xi.   Tang Xi smiled, "Thank you!"   Before she put down her chopsticks, Xie Cheng picked up another one and put it in her mouth.   She paused, puffed her cheeks and glared at him.   After he chewed and swallowed, he said in a low voice: "It doesn't taste very good."   "Uncle Cheng is lying!" Chen Ning snorted coldly, "It's obviously delicious. If you like it, you can ask the housekeeper to serve you some. Why do you want to snatch Sister Tang's?"   The child was naive and simply thought that Xie Cheng took it and ate it just because he liked it.   Tang Xi chuckled, "It's okay, there will be more later, Ning,   eat first." Chen Ning glanced at the only three pieces left on the plate, hesitated for a moment, and finally pushed the plate in front of Tang Xi, tilted her little head and said: "Sister Tang, these are all for you!"   After that, she stared at Xie Cheng, as if she was afraid that he would snatch it from Tang Xi again.   "Ning is so nice, sister only eats one!" After Tang Xi said that, she picked up one and gave the remaining two back to him.   Tang Xi took a bite and put it in her mouth and bit it a few times. It was crispy and tender. No wonder Chen Ning liked it.   (End of this chapter)

  Chapter 568: Nanny Bi Misunderstood   Xie Cheng looked at Chen Ning and said, "Remember to call her aunt."   "Aunt?" Chen Ning was puzzled. "What aunt?"   Chen Luo was touched by the innocence and cuteness of his own child, and couldn't help laughing.   Xie Cheng patiently explained, "If you call me uncle, you have to call your sister Tang aunt."   "Why?"   Xie Cheng: ...   This little brat is really as tactless as his father.   He explained again seriously, "She is my uncle's future wife, and my uncle's wife should be called aunt, do you understand?"   "Oh!" Chen Ning blinked and nodded as if she understood.   "Look, she's back."   Tang Xi smiled and looked out the door.   Xie Cheng and Chen Luo also looked back when they heard it, and saw the brothers Mo Yi and Mo Qing, supporting an old woman and walking slowly over.   Several people hurriedly got up and waited for them to come in with a smile.   Nanny Bi walked in, and when she saw Xie Cheng and Chen Luo standing together, her eyes were instantly wet.   Before the lady passed away, she once said that perhaps, because of her selfishness, the children would be hostile to each other from now on, and they might be hostile to each other for the rest of their lives.   However, she probably didn't expect that one day, the two children would be able to stand together, talking and laughing, right?   "Madame Bi, long time no see!" Xie Cheng smiled.   Compared to a few years ago, Madame Bi is now much older, and there are many more wrinkles at the corners of her eyes than a few years ago.   "Mr. Xie, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have grown up so much!" Madame Bi stood in front of the two of them, looking at Xie Cheng with satisfaction.   "Please sit down first!"   Xie Cheng and Chen Luo helped her sit between the two of them.   Mo Qing and Mo Yi were going to stand on the side of the housekeeper, but were called back by Chen Luo and asked to sit together.   "Housekeeper, everyone is here, serve the dishes." Chen Luo ordered.   After the housekeeper agreed, he hurriedly asked someone to bring the dishes.   Soon, the table was covered with delicious dishes.   Nanny Bi glanced at Chen Ning who was sitting next to Tang Xi and smiled, "Last time the child left in a hurry, I didn't have time to see clearly, now I see, it looks like the young master when he was young."   She looked at Tang Xi again, and was slightly stunned, with some doubts in her heart.   This little girl looks at most thirteen or fourteen years old, and the young master is already more than three years old. This ten-year-old girl should not be able to give birth, right?   Tang Xi didn't know what Nanny Bi was thinking, just nodded slightly at her, and then picked up a few pieces of meat for Chen Ning.   Nanny Bi looked at Chen Luo, leaned close to him and whispered, "Young master's young lady, how come this old servant looks no more than thirteen or fourteen years old?"   "Cough-cough-cough-"   Chen Luo covered his mouth and coughed several times. He took a sip of tea and then explained in a low voice: "Mammy, she is not An Ning's mother. An Ning's mother has passed away."   "Oh!" Nanny Bi nodded in understanding.   She said, how could such a young girl give birth to such a big child? It turns out that she is the young master's second wife! She   seemed to have a good personality, looked very gentle, and was very kind to the young master.   She followed the lady and had met many people, so she was sure she could judge people correctly.   The girl's eyes were full of tenderness when she looked at the young master, and it was obvious that she treated the young master sincerely.   Seeing her nod with satisfaction, Chen Luo always felt that something was wrong.   Nanny Bi smiled at Tang Xi, but felt confused again.   Why did the young master's second wife sit next to Mr. Xie instead of sitting next to the young master?   This seems a bit against the rules, right?   She frowned slightly, hesitated again and again, and looked at Tang Xi, wanting to say something but stopping herself.   Just as she was about to speak, she saw Xie Cheng picking up some food for Tang Xi...   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 569 Xie Cheng tricked Chen Ning into tasting wine   Xie Cheng said softly, "Eat more. We have to travel early tomorrow morning. Don't be too hungry by then."   Tang Xi laughed, "There are inns on the road. How can you be too hungry?"   "Sister Tang, are you leaving tomorrow morning?" Chen Ning put down his chopsticks, looked at Tang Xi with bright eyes and said, "Can you take An Ning with you?"   He missed Aunt Tong so much, and wanted to see what Aunt Tong's sweetheart looked like and whether he was as good-looking as Dad.   "What are you going to Hanshui City for?" Chen Luo asked in a calm voice.   "An Ning wants to see Aunt Tong!" Chen Ning said, "Dad, you can come too. Let's go see Aunt Tong's sweetheart. If he treats Aunt Tong badly, he won't let her get married."   After hearing their conversation, Nanny Bi couldn't help but feel lucky.   Fortunately, she didn't ask out loud, otherwise it would be embarrassing.   It turns out that she is not the second wife of her own son, but the sweetheart of City Lord Xie!   However, who is this "Aunt Tong"?   Why does the young master seem to care about her?   Chen Luo said to his son, "Don't talk while eating or sleeping. If you have anything to say, wait until you finish eating."   "Oh!" Chen Ning pursed his lips, then picked up the chopsticks and continued to eat.   "Would you like to drink two cups?" Chen Luo asked Xie Cheng.   Xie Cheng nodded slightly, "Sure."   Chen Luo called the butler and asked him to have someone heat up a pot of wine.   After the wine was served, Mo Qing took the initiative to pour wine for the adults present.   Chen Ning looked at it eagerly, feeling a little confused.   He often saw his father drinking this thing, and it tasted weird, but he didn't know if it tasted good.   Seeing his little look, Xie Cheng couldn't help but joked, "Do you want to drink it? Uncle will pour you some."   He smacked his lips twice and shook his head, "Dad said that young children should not drink alcohol."   Although he also wanted to taste that taste, he had to listen to his father's words.   "Or, you can try it?" Xie Cheng coaxed.   Tang Xi glared at him, "Don't teach the child bad things."   Chen Luo glanced at him unhappily, looked at Chen Ning and said, "Don't listen to your uncle, the wine is spicy and not good to drink."   "You don't understand." Xie Cheng smiled faintly, "This child is full of doubts about things he hasn't eaten before. He has to try it before he knows the taste."   "Master is right!" Mo Yi said, "When the master was young, the old man taught him the same thing."   Xie Cheng glanced at him, Mo Yi's neck shrank, and he lowered his head to drink silently.   "So that's it!" Chen Luo chuckled, "Then let him try it."   Xie Cheng smiled and brought a small cup, poured a little for Chen Ning, and then handed it to him.   After Chen Ning took the wine glass, he smelled it curiously, then frowned and said disdainfully, "It doesn't smell good!"   Such a bad smell must be bad!   Seeing that he put down the wine glass without drinking it, Xie Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, "Really not trying it?"   The child was not fooled, and it was a bit boring.   Tang Xi reminded: "A Ning, don't drink anymore. You will choke and feel uncomfortable."   "Then... I'd better not drink it."   Although he said that, as the adults drank one glass after another, his little eyes couldn't help but sneak a glance at the wine glass on the table.   Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quietly took it and took a sip.   The spicy taste made him grin, and his expression was a little ferocious.   "Hahaha——"   The adults present were amused by his expression.   He put the wine glass down, then pushed it to the middle with his little hand, and said with disgust: "It doesn't taste good at all!"   He thought it was sweet.   (End of this chapter)

 Chapter 570 Happy   The dinner ended with both the host and the guests having a great time.   Chen Luo asked people to clean up the old courtyard where his mother once lived and let Nanny Bi live in it.   Xie Cheng, Tang Xi, and Mo Yi said goodbye to everyone and prepared to return to the small courtyard.   Originally, Chen Luo wanted them to stay in the Chen Mansion, but when he heard them say that they had important things to do and had to leave early tomorrow morning, he gave up the idea of keeping them.   They said they would drink two cups, but in the end they drank a lot.   Except for Tang Xi and little An Ning, everyone else at the table had red faces from drinking.   Even Nanny Bi was no exception.   The brothers Mo Yi and Mo Qing drank even more. Now, Xie Cheng and Tang Xi became the coachmen, and he was thrown into the carriage.   Hearing the sound of vomiting coming from inside, Tang Xi worriedly said, "Can this carriage be used tomorrow?"   When she thought of the strange smell, she couldn't help but resist.   Xie Cheng smiled faintly and said, "After we go back, someone will clean up, don't worry."   As soon as he said this, Tang Xi suddenly felt sorry for those shadow guards.   It was too difficult to be a shadow guard of the Xie Mansion. Not only did they have to secretly protect the master, but they also had to clean up the vomit for the master's subordinates. It was so hard!   "Can Moyi wake up tomorrow morning like this?" Tang Xi doubted.   Xie Cheng said, "If he can't wake up, throw him on the carriage and let others be the coachman."   He hadn't seen Moyi drunk in all these years, even when Miss Ping'er got married, he was not drunk.   It can be seen that this time he was really happy from the bottom of his heart.   Even he, who usually could drink a lot without getting drunk, was a little tipsy at this moment.   Today, Moyi was not the only one who felt happy, he was also.   Because Huang Bo had left, when they returned to the courtyard, it was pitch black, and they couldn't see their hands in front of them.   The carriage stopped in front of the yard, and Tang Xi hurriedly got off the car, took out the tinder, and lit the lamp.   Xie Cheng dragged Mo Yi out of the carriage. Seeing that there was no foreign object in the carriage except for the smell of alcohol, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.   "Master, are we home?" Mo Yi asked with half-opened eyes.   Xie Cheng didn't say anything, but helped him back to his yard, threw him on the couch, and then clapped his hands and left.   Tang Xi chuckled, "I hope he won't regret it when he wakes up tomorrow."   "I'll go back to the room to wash up first, you go to bed early!"   He stretched out his hand and tidied up her hair that was messed up by the wind, his voice low and gentle.   Tang Xi nodded slightly, "You should also go to bed early, I'll go into the house first."   "Yeah." He nodded.   After Tang Xi entered the room, he took out a short flute and blew a few notes.   Several black shadows appeared in front of him in an instant.   "Please give orders, master!" Several people said in unison.   "Send two people to the kitchen to boil two buckets of water for me and send them to my room."   Several people agreed in a low voice.   Finally, Kong Yue took another woman to the kitchen to boil water, and the water delivery was handed over to the other two male shadow guards.   _The   next day,   Mo Yi woke up as soon as the white belly of a fish appeared in the east.   He rubbed his temples, and suddenly he couldn't remember how he got back yesterday.   Remembering that his master said that he would set off today, he hurriedly got up and got off the bed.   He first walked to the kitchen in the front yard, and saw that there was still hot water in the room, so he hurriedly took some back to the room to wash.   He changed into clean clothes and then walked next door.   Seeing that Xie Cheng and Tang Xi's doors were still closed, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh   of relief. He was glad that he didn't delay the decision to set off because of being drunk.   (End of this chapter)
