Upon hearing that Chang Ming committed suicide in prison, Xie Xu stood there motionless for a long time, and finally walked away.

If this is his way of atonement, then so be it.

Gradually, night fell.

Near the "Huang's Paper Horse Shop", Duke Su, Duke Ying, the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince... more than a dozen people including Emperor Yuan and Xie Xu were hiding quietly in the dark, staring at the paper horse shop intently.

Xie Xu was not very interested in Lord Liu's sleepwalking. He was here to protect Emperor Yuan's safety.

At this time in the Jiang family, Minister Jiang gritted his teeth, took some laxative, and was now running to the toilet.

The reason why he did that was because Emperor Yuan had ordered that Jiang Yueyang should not be allowed to come out and watch Lord Liu's sleepwalking.

Minister Jiang was afraid that if he pretended to be sick the system would find out, so he cruelly gave himself some laxative.

"Dad, how are you?" Jiang Yueyang asked worriedly.

Minister Jiang was lying on the bed, and he weakly replied, "Dad is fine, he just ate the wrong food. My daughter, your mother is weak, and your brother has to prepare for the exam, so tonight, can you stay and take care of Dad?"

"Yeah." Jiang Yueyang responded, "Don't worry, Dad. I will stay here and take care of you tonight."

Hearing this, Minister Jiang felt relieved.

At the paper horse shop, Emperor Yuan and his men waited and waited but Lord Liu never showed up.

"Why hasn't Lord Liu come yet? Are you well?" Emperor Yuan asked himself.

Hearing this, Xie Xu couldn't help but remind him, "Your Majesty, is there a possibility that Lord Liu can also hear Lord Xiao Jiang's thoughts?"

Emperor Yuan: “…”

"Fuck! I forgot about this!"

Xie Xu: “…”

Invisibly, Emperor Yuan learned Jiang Yueyang's less elegant language.

The saying "Birds of a feather flock together" is indeed true!

Thinking that Lord Liu might not come, Emperor Yuan waved his hand and said, "Let's go back to the palace."

As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps were heard in the distance.

Then, the dozen or so people hiding here saw Lord Liu walking out of an alley.

"Fuck! He's here!"

Xie Xu: “…”

Xie Xu said tactfully: "...Your Majesty, you are speaking more and more like Lord Xiao Jiang."

"So what?"

“Master Xiao Jiang said it in his heart, it won’t affect… Never mind, it’s all the same.”

Xie Xu originally wanted to say that Jiang Yueyang was speaking in her heart, so it would not affect her image. But then he thought again, since they could hear Jiang Yueyang's inner voice, it would be no different from speaking it out loud.

Emperor Yuan found him puzzled, but said nothing.

His eyes were following Lord Liu, and then he saw Lord Liu pick up the linen clothes and paper money at the door of the paper horse shop, then put down the silver and turned back.

"It's exactly what Jiang Yueyang said." Emperor Yuan was puzzled, "But why did he come out tonight?"

After Lord Liu got off work and returned home, he first knelt down and kowtowed to his parents to apologize, and then after nightfall he asked his servants to tie him up.

But he didn't know that even if he was tied up, he would try his best to get out.

Mr. Liu's parents once tied him to a pillar, and even though the rope cut into his flesh, he still wanted to get out.

They couldn't bear to see Lord Liu get hurt, so they untied the rope, which is why Lord Liu appeared here at this time.

It's just embarrassing. You'll get used to it after a while.

Just like them, they are used to listening to their son’s mourning, and they can’t fall asleep if they don’t hear it on other days.

Emperor Yuan couldn't understand why Lord Liu came out tonight, but he didn't care.

Seeing Lord Liu walking further and further away, Emperor Yuan was about to catch up with him.

Unexpectedly, he had only taken one step when he saw his two sons coming out from some corner.

A few people who originally wanted to follow Lord Liu withdrew their feet in hatred when they saw the Third Prince and his companions.

Emperor Yuan gnashed his teeth and said, "These two brats are out here wandering around in the middle of the night, it seems like their studies are too easy!"

Xie Xu: ...Your Majesty, do you want to take a look at what you are doing?

The third prince and the fifth prince walked on the left and right of Lord Liu. The fifth prince even waved his hand in front of Lord Liu.

"Third brother, he didn't react at all."

"Keep your voice down. Don't wake him up. If you're not careful, someone could die."

The fifth prince immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Third brother, are we really going to go to the Liu family with him? Isn't this bad?"

"It's okay, we're not the only ones."

Hearing this, Duke Yingguo and Suguo came out, but the others did not have the courage.

When the fifth prince saw the two of them, he opened his mouth in surprise.

In order to maintain his image as an emperor, Emperor Yuan could only leave angrily.

"Return to the palace!"

Not long after, the four followed them to the door of Liu's house.

After thinking about it, they did not follow in, but climbed up the wall to watch.

After a while, they heard the sound of Lord Liu crying, and saw Lord Liu's parents standing by and watching with a look of usual concern.

The third prince said, "Duke Ying, the palace gates are closed. My fifth brother and I will stay at the Duke Ying's mansion for one night."

Duke of England: "...Did your two highnesses intend to live in my house from the beginning?"

"What else?"

"If I hadn't come..."

"Impossible." The third prince vowed, "With your character of not caring about your life for eating melons, you will never miss such a good opportunity."

British Duke: “…”

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of autumn hunting. Three carriages gradually stopped outside the Jiang family’s gate.

Gu Ruo, Wen Shuyan and Qiao Xi got out of their respective carriages. Qiao Xi also brought her twin sister Qiao Yuanyuan.
