Young Master Gu took General Li with him, and the two of them walked towards a flower hall on the west side of the Gu Mansion.

Li Yuanle put away his sadness and reluctance, and asked Gu Xingnuo in a low voice: "Brother Gu, what is the matter that you called me here for?"

"Let's find a place to sit down and talk." Gu Xingnuo still looked at Li Yuanle and smiled, saying, "It's a good thing."

Young General Li couldn't imagine what good thing would happen to him at this moment.

Young Master Gu took Li Yuanle to the flower hall. Yu Xiaoxiao walked out of the room where the second in command lived, looked around, and decided to ask Nanny Wang for breakfast.

At this time, Nanny Wang was standing in the center of the courtyard, looking up and down at Tian Xingzi who was standing in front of her.

As Tian Xingzi was stared at by Nanny Wang, his body shrank smaller and smaller, until he almost disappeared.

Nanny Wang asked, "Are you here to see the princess?"

"Yes," Tian Xingzi nodded.

"So dirty," Nanny Wang said, "A beggar?"

"No," Tian Xingzi looked up to clarify for himself.

"Lower your head," Nanny Wang pointed at the old Taoist priest.

Tian Xingzi lowered his head again. It was not because he was afraid of the fat aunt. It was mainly because the fat aunt's gaze made him feel inferior. The old Taoist couldn't understand what was going on.

"What do you want to see my princess about?" Nanny Wang asked Tian Xingzi.

Tian Xingzi said, "Let me talk to the princess."

"How dare you!" Nanny Wang roared at Tian Xingzi with all her might.

The old Taoist shuddered. Could this person be a monster like Princess Linglong?

"You can see the princess just because you want to?" Nanny Wang stood in front of Tian Xingzi, a full head taller than him. She overwhelmed the old Taoist with her aura and said, "Who are you? Your clothes are so tattered, your hair is tangled and full of lice, your face looks like a rotten melon, you grow your nails like a woman, the mud in your nails would weigh half a pound if you dig it out, your shoes have holes, and you have no socks to wear. Are you sure you're not a beggar?"

After being scolded by Nanny Wang, the old Taoist felt like a beggar.

Xiao Wei was standing in the corridor. He knew Tian Xingzi, but in front of Nanny Wang, Xiao Wei didn't dare to step forward to help Tian Xingzi.

"Our princess doesn't keep idlers," Nanny Wang said to Tian Xingzi, "You can go now."

At this time, Yu Xiaoxiao walked in from outside the yard. When she saw Tian Xingzi and Nanny Wang standing together, the princess' eyelids immediately twitched.

Tian Xingzi turned around and saw that it was Yu Xiaoxiao who came. He quickly ran to Yu Xiaoxiao and called her, "Princess."

Yu Xiaoxiao wanted to pretend that she didn't know this old Taoist.

Nanny Wang walked up to Yu Xiaoxiao in a few steps, pointed at Tian Xingzi and asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "Princess, do you know him?"

"Uh," Yu Xiaoxiao really wanted to deny it.

Tian Xingzi said, "Princess, Prince Jing asked me to come find you."

"Why are you paying attention to a beggar?" Nanny Wang asked Yu Xiaoxiao with eyes wide open.

Yu Xiao: "Mammy, he is not a beggar, fortune-telling is a legitimate profession."

"Fortune-telling?" Nanny Wang looked at Tian Xingzi and said, "Princess, people's hearts are hidden in their stomachs. You can't just believe everything others say."

Seeing that she was about to be scolded again, Yu Xiaoxiao said to Nanny Wang: "Mammy, this little Gu's friend."

Xiao Wei stood in the corridor and closed her eyes, pushing the blame onto her husband, "Princess, where is your bravery?"

Tian Xingzi was silent for a moment, then said hopefully: "Princess, can I leave now?"

Yu Xiao: "Where are you going?"

Tian Xingzi looked solemn and said, "Princess, I am a man who regards the whole world as my home."

"Mo Wen is still alive," Yu Xiao said, "Why do you live in Sihai?"

Tian Xingzi's solemn expression could no longer be sustained and he said, "Princess, I cannot defeat Mo Wen."

"You are useless," Yu Xiaoxiao slapped Tian Xingzi on the shoulder, and slapped the old Taoist to the ground again, saying, "How can you give up before the last moment?"

The old Taoist lay on the ground in grief. He was an enemy of Mo Wen, and he didn't need to wait until the last moment. He had already given up his life from the very beginning.

At this time, Nanny Wang asked, "Princess, who is the Mo Wen you are talking about?"

"Oh, Mo Wen is..."

"Princess," Xiao Wei walked out of the corridor at this time and shook his head at Yu Xiaoxiao. The Queen believed in the gods and Buddhas of the Eternal Life Temple, and Nanny Wang must also be a believer of the Eternal Life Temple.

Yu Xiaoxiao saw Xiao Wei shaking his head, so she looked at Nanny Wang and said, "Mammy, how do you feel about the Eternal Life Temple?"

"Amitabha," Nanny Wang quickly chanted, and said to Yu Xiao, "Princess, it's time for you to send tribute to the Eternal Life Temple."

"Haha," Yu laughed.

"Hehehe," Tian Xingzi also laughed.

Xiao Wei stood aside with a wooden face.

Nanny Wang asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "What happened to the princess?"

"I want to have breakfast," Yu Xiaoxiao said to Nanny Wang, "Nanny, go and prepare the meal."

Nanny Wang said, "Who is Mo Wen?"

"Did I say this name?" Yu Xiaoxiao asked Tian Xingzi and Xiao Wei.

Tian Xingzi and Xiao Wei both shook their heads.

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Nanny Wang and said seriously, "Nanny, you heard it wrong."

Aunt Wang...

"Peanut-filled Yuanxiao," said the little Jade Man as he walked down the corridor, "and some sesame-filled Yuanxiao, and a bowl of shredded pork noodles for Xiao Gu and Xiao Wei."

Tian Xingzi said to Nanny Wang, "I want shredded pork noodles, too."

Nanny Wang reached out and grabbed Tian Xingzi by the collar.

Yu Xiaoxiao and Xiao Wei stood in the corridor and watched. Yu Xiaoxiao said to Xiao Wei, "Mammy has always told me that there is no clear distinction between men and women. Why is she pulling the Taoist's collar now?"

Xiao Wei was injured and stood against the pillar, saying, "It looks like Mammy wants to beat someone up."

In the courtyard, Tian Xingzi shouted to Nanny Wang, "If you have something to say, say it. Don't use force!"

Yu Xiaoxiao handed a piece of peanut candy to Xiao Wei and said, "I just beat up Zhao Qiuming's third daughter."

Xiao Wei's hand froze as he was about to put the peanut candy into his mouth, and he said, "Miss Zhao San?"

"Yeah," Yu Xiaoxiao nodded, "Really? Erqiu is in prison or somewhere else."

Xiao Wei said, "Princess, have you captured the real Miss Zhao San?" What happened after he went back home to treat his injuries yesterday?

"No," Yu Xiaoxiao stuffed peanut candy into her mouth and said, "The waiter met her on the street and carried her back."

Xiao Wei..., you don't understand anything, right?

Yu Xiaoxiao shouted to Nanny Wang: "Nanny, please let that Taoist go."

If Nanny Wang had the strength, she would have thrown Tianxingzi out of the courtyard wall right now.

Xiao Wei was not interested in the fate of the old Taoist priest at all, and asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "Who is Xiaoer?"

Yu Xiaoxiao thought about it carefully. What was the second in command's name? After thinking for a long time, Yu Xiaoxiao still couldn't remember it, so she could only say to Xiao Wei: "It's Xiong Xiong's second in command. What's his name?"

Xiao Wei wiped his face and said, "Princess, his name is Xu Wei."

"Xu Wei," Yu Xiaoxiao repeated the name several times and said to Xiao Wei, "Xiaoer is easier to remember."

Xiao Wei said, "Call him whatever you want. How did he meet Miss Zhao San?"

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Xiao Wei and sighed, "This is fate's arrangement."

Xiao Wei...
