He muttered to himself, slightly displeased.

Xiao Tang walked to his side and patted his head. "Don't worry, this is just the beginning. How could we let them get away with this?"

"And you, a mere child, why are you thinking so much? You should go back and take good care of your health."

After being met with a disdainful retort, Di Youming's face instantly turned sour.

He didn't know why he felt attracted to this woman.

distinct……

He should be disgusted by this woman.

However, considering her satisfactory performance just now, I'll protect her more in the future.

The child, who had never experienced maternal or paternal love, found a sense of attachment in Xiao Tang.

The child's eyes went dark when he thought of his mother.

Afterwards, Xiao Tang sent the child back to the Prince's Mansion.

The child was happy when leaving the mansion, but looked unhappy when they returned.

Regardless of whether he was happy or not, Xiao Tang still prepared and brewed the medicine and had it taken away by his guard.

She returned to Qingxin Courtyard alone and began drawing design plans.

Ruyi was filled with questions, but dared not ask.

Seeing Xiao Tang drawing blueprints, he could only swallow his questions.

Xiao Tang drew several design sketches, but he was not satisfied with any of them.

Finally, he crumpled all the blueprints into balls and threw them away.

It was thrown out the window and caught by two fingers of a person.

"Xiao Tang, even if you didn't come to see me, you didn't have to hit me as soon as you saw me, did you?"

That sound...

Xiao Tang looked up in surprise.

Murong Ze.

The man, dressed in scarlet robes, was spirited and dashing.

He easily leaped into the window.

"How did you get in?" The Regent's Palace is always heavily guarded.

“After you left the manor, I came in with you.”

He picked up a crumpled piece of paper from the ground, unfolded it, and looked at it.

However, even though Murong Ze prided himself on knowing Xiao Tang well, he had no idea what the strange scribblings in that crumpled paper were.

He stared at it for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what it was.

Xiao Tang simply asked, "Young Master Murong, is there something you need?"

The distant and indifferent address caused Murong Ze's expression to freeze for a moment.

"Xiao Tang, what did you call me?"

"Young Master Murong, what else?" There's nothing wrong with this name, is there?

Xiao Tang thought there was nothing wrong with the way he addressed him, but he looked like he had been hurt.

For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

She just rolled her eyes.

"Xiao Tang, are you blaming me for not keeping my promise from back then to go back and marry you?"

"..."

Oh no...

Did the original owner have this memory in their mind?

Oh, Aquaman, there's no limit to how much he can conquer.

No wonder she's a hopeless case of being a fangirl and cannon fodder.

This character is very well-developed.

Xiao Tang didn't know what to say to him, nor did she want to ask what the problem was between them. All she wanted to do now was finish the design.

The man had already come up to her and put his hands on her shoulders.

"I have my reasons."

"My family insisted on giving me a lot of women, but I... refused them all."

"In order not to marry them, I agreed to my family's request and practiced martial arts at home for several years, just so that one day I could come to Dasheng to marry you."

"But you..."

His voice choked with emotion.

Xiao Tang was taken aback by his sincere expression.

Big brother, I'm no longer your Xiao Tang...

She really wanted to say that.

Looking at the young man's face, with his full forehead, sword-like eyebrows, and bright eyes, he was destined for great things.

However, this person was not mentioned in the book.

But he is definitely a formidable figure in northern Xinjiang.

"Well... Young Master Murong, I'm not trying to be mean, but let bygones be bygones."

After speaking earnestly, she pulled his hand away.

Xiao Tang added, "Oh, right, there's one more thing. When you leave, be sure not to disturb the guards of the Prince's Palace."

Otherwise, she'll be in a lot of trouble.

Looking back, I thought she was deliberately meeting men at Qingxin Courtyard.

Xiao Tang pouted and reached for paper and pen.

To everyone's surprise, this guy seemed a bit agitated, snatched her calligraphy brush, and tossed it aside.

"I know you were forced to marry the Regent, I understand!"

"Just say the word, and I'll take you away right now. We'll go to the northern frontier and fly far away."

Xiao Tang: "Uh..."

Although... we're just strangers, aren't we?

Although you're quite good-looking, I can't really accept the idea of ​​me running off with a little puppy like you.

"Xiaotang!"

"Hey... buddy, let's talk this out. Don't get physical, or I'll get rough with you."

Murong shook his head. "You've changed!"

She was no longer the Tang sister he used to know.

Xiao Tang had no idea what he was talking about, and just felt that this man might have something wrong with his head.

"Dude, let's go. Let's part amicably and not make things too ugly. At least we can still be friends later."

"Xiao Tang!" he called out through gritted teeth, "Answer me now! If you're being controlled by that regent, blink and tell me!"

Xiaotang: "..."

Hey bro, you're pretty modern. You even know how to blink.

But I... wasn't restrained.

I'm just being held back by a stupid system.

She pinched her chin. "No, I really love my husband. We have a very good relationship, and our love is stronger than ever. Don't be silly."

"If my husband comes later and sees you, he will surely misunderstand me."

"You should leave now."

Hey buddy, let's go! There are plenty of fish in the sea!
