Xu Qiudong said casually, "Twelve hours."

Tai Sumeng obediently said "Oh" and waited by Xu Qiudong's bed, waiting for her to get up, and waited for twelve hours to pass.

There was someone in Xu Qiudong's exclusive space, and she couldn't sleep in the true sense of the word. After about a cup of tea, Xu Qiudong stood up and sat up.

"What are you still doing here with me?"

Tai Sumeng raised her head and said innocently, "My cousin asked me to watch over you."

Xu Qiudong: “——”

Xu Qiudong no longer had the desire to sleep and got out of bed directly.

When the maids came to help Xu Qiudong wash and dress, they saw Xu Qiudong having breakfast with Tai Sumeng.

"Cousin, Miss Xu."

Tai Sumeng has lived in Zhuo Yuanyu's house since she was a child. Zhuo Yuanyu's mother treated her very well and even gave her the family heirloom. For a while, she was always worried about one thing, that is, what if Zhuo Yuanyu's mother wanted to marry her to Zhuo Yuanyu?

Doesn’t she like Zhuo Yuanyu?

But Zhuo Yuanyu's mother was so good to her and was the best person in the world to her. She couldn't bear to make her sad.

Later, Tai Sumeng was always worried. Zhuo Yuanyu's family found out about this. After asking, they found out what Tai Sumeng was thinking. Everyone laughed and finally talked it out. After that, Tai Sumeng ate everything she wanted, but Zhuo Yuanyu's attitude towards Tai Sumeng became very subtle.

Tai Sumeng had been practicing martial arts with Zhuo Yuanyu since she was little. She never liked being served by maids. She waved her hand and sent them away, saying, "Go back. We don't need you to serve us here anymore."

The maids bowed respectfully and said, "Yes."

Tai Sumeng has a good personality and treats them very kindly, so the maids in the Zhuo Mansion also like Tai Sumeng very much.

Xu Qiudong glanced at Tai Sumeng calmly, then lowered his head and said softly, "I have a secret manual that I've kept privately. Do you want it?"

"want!"

Tai Sumeng almost blurted it out, but when Tai Sumeng reacted, she changed her words, laughed and prepared to change the subject.

"What are you talking about? You'd better prepare a face mask for me quickly. I have to go see him today."

Xu Qiudong murmured "hmm" softly, as if the previous sentence was Tai Sumeng's illusion.

Looking at Xu Qiudong's extremely calm expression, Tai Sumeng also wondered if she had heard it wrong.

For several days in a row, Tai Sumeng ran to Xu Qiudong before dawn, and Xu Qiudong prepared a facial mask for her as usual.

However, on this day, when Tai Sumeng was about to leave after applying the facial mask, she looked at Xu Qiudong firmly and said, "My cousin lied to me. Heng Fuwei is not being treated at home. Instead, my cousin has imprisoned him. I want to rescue him. Can you help me?"

Xu Qiudong raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes showing a playful look.

You're coming right now. You're so impatient.

"Of course, since you take such good care of me, I should repay you."

Tai Sumeng left with a smile.

At night, Tai Sumeng came to find Xu Qiudong and assigned her a task. She asked her to set fire to the wall to attract people over. Tai Sumeng's task was to bring Heng Fuwei out of the study. Finally, they gathered at the back door and took Heng Fuwei to find an inn to stay.

Xu Qiudong nodded perfunctorily and said, "I understand."
