Chapter 363 Then I really should be 'filial' to her.

Xiao Tang's pupils contracted slightly.

I recall this scene being described in the book, where Yan Jiu asked the prince what to do because the Empress Dowager had murderous intent towards him, and that's how the main villain answered.

Do nothing.

Let's wait and see.

If it sounded profound and mysterious coming from the book, it was completely different coming from the villain's mouth. It was simply... making her want to punch him.

“If you’ve already made arrangements, then naturally I won’t object…”

"Tangtang, believe me, just wait for me."

Xiao Tang's lips twitched slightly.

How could she not trust him? He was her husband!

The word "wait" is just a little unsettling.

...

The weather is getting colder and colder.

That day, a thick snow fell in the capital.

When I opened the window early in the morning, the whole world was covered in silver, and with these ancient-style buildings, the whole world seemed to be in a landscape painting.

Although the cold air filled the room and made her shiver, she was still determined to see the snow scene.

In the 31st century, she would never have had the chance to see such a view.

At that time, global warming was severe, and the climate was very extreme.

That's impossible.

As she watched the white snowflakes fall, she immediately reached out to catch them.

A heavy fox fur cloak was draped over her shoulders.

"It can't get cold. Haven't you ever seen snow before?"

This was the first time Di Jingling had ever seen this girl so excited.

Xiao Tang nodded, then realized something was wrong and quickly changed her words, saying, "I... I've never seen such a beautiful snow scene. As you know, in my hometown in the countryside, you can't see such unique scenery in the capital."

Oops, I almost let it slip.

Di Jingling didn't expose her, and nodded slightly, "Don't catch a cold, I'm going to court."

Just as I was about to leave, she wrapped her arms around my neck.

Xiao Tang jumped onto him.

When she wrapped her arms around him, the movement was so large that her cloak fell to the ground with a thud.

She pouted her red lips and kissed his slightly cool lips several times. "I'll wait for you to come back."

A distinct coolness drifted into the room.

But the sweetness in the girl's mouth was incredibly alluring to him.

Di Jingling was somewhat dazed. He gently touched her cheek, his voice tinged with reluctance, "Are you destined to become a wicked concubine who brings ruin to the country?"

Xiao Tang pouted, "It's not that serious."

She let go of him, jumped down, and smiled goodbye at him, saying, "Husband, be careful on your journey."

As Di Jingling left, he gave her a deep look.

Even after the door closed, Xiao Tang's sweet smile remained on her face.

But then, a little pink dumpling clicked its tongue and sighed a few times.

She glared at the little dumpling hiding under the covers with displeasure.

"System, you've been getting lazier and lax in your work lately!"

Oh no, it's that ever since this pink dumpling took shape, it's become a completely lazy system that slacks off from its work.

The toxic pig twitched its nose twice. "Host, you've completed half of your romance mission. The rest requires the system to reload."

"Is it really this bad? Do I need to reload tasks I've already completed?"

System: "...Host, we've only just acquired physical form."

Xiao Tang chuckled softly.

She discovered that after the system revealed itself, it became increasingly timid.

It probably knew she wouldn't let it go, so it knew how to please her.

She crossed her arms and slightly raised her chin. "In that case, you'd better hurry up and load it."

The little pink dumpling trembled slightly.

I don't understand why this host is in such a hurry?

However, Ruyi knocked on the door very soon.

"Your Highness, Duke Xiao has sent someone over."

Xiao Tang lowered her eyes.

He hadn't really wanted to waste time with this damn system anyway, but when he heard the noise, he went out and asked, "What's up?"

Ruyi shook her head. "It's the steward from the Duke's mansion who's here. He says he absolutely must see you."

Xiao Tang gave a sarcastic smile.

She put on the cloak given to her by the villain and went outside.

The butler saw her give a perfunctory bow.

Xiao Tang deliberately didn't tell him to rise, but simply looked at him calmly.

Seeing that the princess was reluctant to tell him to rise, the steward awkwardly explained, "Your Highness, our matriarch, Madam Xiao, has returned to the manor today and wishes to see you. The Duke also asked me to inform you."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "They also said that the Princess Consort is a filial and good child, and that your grandmother wants to see you, so you will definitely go."

Heh heh.

They've elevated her to such a high level so quickly.

Xiao Tang didn't answer, but just smiled gently, "Alright, then I should indeed 'show my filial piety' to her. I'll get ready to go to the Duke's mansion now."

The butler was sent away.

Ruyi hurriedly said, "Your Highness, are you really going to see the old lady of the Duke's mansion?"

"What's wrong?"

“I heard that the old lady is an exceptionally strict and ruthless woman, and... the previous Miss Xiao died so tragically, and Xiao Rourou... also died so tragically, the old lady will definitely blame it on you.”

Xiao Tang shrugged. "It doesn't matter."

The original owner had no recollection of this old lady.

The book does mention that the old lady really liked the White Lotus heroine, and she was even certain that the White Lotus heroine was a princess from a certain country, so she really had to treat her well.

Xiao Tang made some preparations before arriving at the Duke's Mansion.

Ruyi was very nervous when she entered the Duke's mansion.

This wasn't her first time here, but she still developed a strong sense of aversion to the Duke's mansion.
