Tang 77 went through Geng Rui's catalog once and said, "It's very good. Let's follow this process. However, I took a walk around the streets yesterday, and there are serious problems with this city planning!"

Geng Rui asked in surprise, "What is urban planning?"

Tang 77 then gave him another explanation. In short, the current Lanling City is scattered with merchants and vendors, and small workshops are also operating independently. There should be a more purposeful layout.

Geng Rui nodded repeatedly, promising to have someone prepare a detailed report based on the actual situation in Lanling and give it to Tang 77 for review as soon as possible.

Tang 77 was quite satisfied. It was great to deal with smart people; they understood things immediately. Tang 77 yawned inelegantly and said lazily, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Geng. I need to go back and catch up on some sleep!"

Geng Rui felt somewhat guilty. This regent was very farsighted and insightful, but he was still just a child. He had talked to him all night, which seemed a bit like exploiting child labor.

He said, "I'm so sorry, we've gotten so close together. It's time for the morning court in an hour. If Your Excellency doesn't mind, please rest for a while at my humble abode, and we can go to court together!"

Tang 77 thought for a moment and realized that it wasn't like that. Anyway, he didn't care about such things, so it didn't matter where he slept. He should hurry back to the mansion, wash up, and then go out for the morning court.

Tang 77 said without any hesitation, "Then I'll have to bother you!"

After leaving the study, Li Liang was pacing anxiously outside when he saw Tang 77. He quickly went over and whispered a few words in Tang's ear.

Tang 77's expression changed drastically, and he asked in a low voice, "Did you really wait all night?"

After receiving Li Liang's affirmative answer, she said to Geng Rui, "Lord Geng, I have some urgent business at home and must take my leave now!"

Tang 77 hurriedly left the Minister's residence and, sure enough, saw an ebony carriage parked outside, with two teams of guards standing imposingly on either side.

Tang 77 pulled back the carriage curtain. Lan Yu had a stern face and exuded a chilling aura. Tang 77 couldn't help but shrink her neck and asked in a low voice, "Brother Lan Yu, why are you here in the middle of the night? Aren't you cold?"

"Get in the car!" Lan Yu's tone was as if she wanted to devour someone.

Tang 77 obediently got into the car and sat down opposite Lan Yu.

Lan Yu's face darkened further. He patted the seat next to him and said, "Sit over here. Are you afraid I'll eat you?"

Tang 77 had no idea what was wrong with Lan Yu this time; serving a ruler was truly like serving a tiger.

She tilted her head back and said unhappily, "What's wrong? I need to go back and change my clothes before going to court!"

Lan Yu frowned and said sourly, "You're quite comfortable staying at Geng Rui's residence, where you can even take a nap before going to court. Is my carriage uncomfortable?"

Tang77: "..."

"You are the city lord. If I ride in the same carriage with you, I'm afraid those old ministers will make things difficult for you again!" Tang 77 said ingratiatingly.

Lan Yu's brows furrowed slightly, but he still said firmly, "My words are orders. Do you intend to disobey?"

"Hmph, so what if he's a city lord? What's with the big shot act!" Tang 77 muttered, but dared not get out of the car and obediently sat still!

Lan Yu still had a cold expression, and Tang 77 couldn't help but feel a little wronged. She said with a mournful look, "I've been busy with Lord Geng until now so that Lan Ling can recover quickly and Brother Lan Yu can rest easy. I'm so tired and hungry, and you still give me attitude!"

Tang 77 originally only wanted to make Lan Yu feel a little guilty, but as she spoke, she really became aggrieved and tears came out.

When Lan Yu saw her crying, she forgot all about being jealous and felt sorry for her. She quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears and coaxed her, "It's my fault, it's my fault. I put such a heavy burden on you and made you work so hard."

Tang 77 pressed her advantage: "You know that's good. If you give me attitude again, I'm quitting. Isn't it nice to be pampered by my grandmother, mother, and six older sisters at home? Why do I have to work so hard here for no reward!"

"Alright, alright, it's my fault for making you feel wronged!" Lan Yu hurriedly tried to comfort her.

Tang 77 didn't want to let this capricious tyrant off so easily, but she was really sleepy and tired, and before she knew it, she had fallen asleep on Lan Yu's shoulder!

Lan Yu looked at the sleeping Tang 77, who was unusually well-behaved and docile, like an adorable kitten. The frost on Lan Yu's face finally faded!

He whispered, "Drive the carriage a little slower!"

When Tang 77 woke up, the sun was already high in the sky. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and called out in a coquettish voice, "Sister Qihong, I'm so hungry, get me something to eat!"

A maidservant with an unfamiliar face came over respectfully and reported: "Your Excellency, Sister Qihong is still at the Regent's residence. The City Lord has instructed that refreshments have been prepared and that I will serve you as you change and have your meal!"

Tang 77 was a little confused. She asked, "Where is this? Is it the palace?"

The maidservant said meekly, "This is the city lord's bedroom. You were fast asleep last night, so the city lord carried you back!"

Tang 77 had a bad feeling. If the city lord carried him back to his palace, and this got back to those old fogies, wouldn't his reputation as a wicked and treacherous man be confirmed?
