Xu Zimo walked forward a few steps and suddenly heard a low growl in his ear. He looked over and saw the drowsy tiger looking at him fiercely.

"What do you mean?" Xu Zimo took a step back. The two tigers bared their fangs and rushed towards him without saying a word.

"Ah!" Xu Zimo's shout echoed throughout the village.

When he arrived at He Jingheng's yard, the secret guards were shocked. If they didn't look carefully, they would have thought he was a beggar. They saw that his outer robe was torn into strips like rags.

"What are you wearing?" He Jingheng glanced at him and said, "Is this the popular style in the capital?"

"Get lost!" Xu Zimo's face turned pale, and he stared at He Jingheng and said, "What do you keep in the Dingguo Palace? Fine, you can keep tigers, but what are the habits of the tigers in your palace? Why do they tear people's clothes? Why don't they let others wear robes when they don't have them?"

Yuntian, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"What are you laughing at? What are you laughing at? What's so funny?" Xu Zimo said coldly.

"Mr. Xu." Yun Tian suppressed his laughter, his whole body trembling uncontrollably: "There are a few animal hairs stuck in your hair."

What the hell?

He touched his hair and found some rooster feathers stuck in it. He remembered that in order to avoid being chased by a tiger, he hid in the chicken coop.

"He Jingheng! Pay for my clothes!" He shouted to Yuntian, "Go get some hot water. I want to take a bath."

Yuntian looked at He Jingheng, and seeing him nod, he went to prepare hot water.

Shang Ruoyi came back from the mountain stream and heard a sound in the room. Just as she was about to go in to take a look, the door of the room was opened and Xu Zimo came out. He was wearing He Jingheng's clothes and holding the one that was torn by the tiger in his hand.

Xu Zimo didn't expect to meet her face to face, and subconsciously hid the clothes in his hands behind his back. After all, the scene just now was really unsightly.

"Mr. Xu, why are you here so late?" She looked him up and down, with an intriguing expression on her face.

Xu Zimo knew that she had misunderstood, and quickly waved his hand to explain: "No, it's not what you think?"

"What am I thinking about?" Shang Ruoyi said with a smile, "What are you so anxious to explain, Master Xu?"

Xu Zimo's face flushed red, and he said angrily: "You two are too bullying!"

Shang Ruoyi rolled her eyes at him: "What is Master Xu talking about? I don't understand at all."

"You!" Xu Zimo swung his sleeves. "If it weren't for the stupid tigers you raised, how could Master 녤 be in such a mess? Fortunately, there are only two of them."

Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this, revealing an ambiguous smile: "Stupid tigers? Two?"

"What? Did you bring them here?" He glanced at Shang Ruoyi. The two tigers were much more agile than ordinary tigers, and they could cooperate with each other, otherwise he would not be so embarrassed.

"I really don't want to bring them here. After all, they still have to guard the village."

As Shang Ruoyi finished speaking, Xu Zimo said, "I'm not bragging, Master 녤 doesn't want to hurt them, otherwise, hum! Stupid tiger 땤껥, how can Master 녤 take them seriously?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar growl not far away.

Xu Zimo's heart suddenly hung in the air.

At this moment, some black shadows suddenly appeared in front of him. The next moment, the black shadows became clearer and clearer. Dozens of tigers slowly walked out of the darkness. Before Xu Zimo could speak, Shang Ruoyi continued, "But you still don't think it's enough?" She snapped her fingers, and another group of black shadows appeared. In a few breaths, dozens of tigers appeared in front of him.

At this moment, the tigers separated on both sides, and a passage appeared. A huge tiger slowly walked out of the passage. The low roar just now was made by it.

The little white tiger stared at Xu Zimo, as if asking: Were you the one who just said we were stupid tigers?

Xu Zimo blinked. Is it too late to run now?

It's obviously too late.

Because his legs can no longer move.

"Master Xu, I wonder if this is enough?"

Xu Zimo was almost crying, and almost knelt down to kowtow to her: "Aunt, I was wrong."

The secret guards were hiding in the dark and watching him, all curling their lips. It turned out that Master Xu could be so spineless.

If Xu Zimo knew what they were thinking, he would definitely sneer at them.

backbone?

How much is one ounce of silver for backbone?

What's the use of that thing?

Not to mention calling her aunt, if she sends those tigers away, I'll even let her call me ancestor.

"Aunt." Seeing that she didn't respond, he quickly changed the topic: "Ancestor, I really know I was wrong." He didn't want his clothes to become rags again. Besides, with so many tigers around, he didn't know if it would be his clothes or himself that would be torn into rags.

Shang Ruoyi smiled when she heard this, and waved her hand. Except for Xiaobai, the other tigers disappeared into the darkness again.

She walked into the room and saw He Jingheng reading a book. Xu Zimo rolled his eyes at him. It was obvious that this guy was just watching the show, watching him being bullied by his wife. Fortunately, he was still a brother! Cut off the robe and sever the ties of friendship!

He Jingheng glanced at him, put down the book in his hand, stood up and walked to Shang Ruoyi. Seeing that she looked normal, he smiled and said, "Would you like someone to cook some midnight snacks?"

Cook midnight snack, what midnight snack should I cook? Xu Zimo rolled his eyes, he almost became Tiger's midnight snack.

"No need, you guys chat, I'm going to rest."

Upon hearing this, He Jingheng asked Yuntian to bring the cloak.

"What are you going to do?" Xu Zimo looked at his movements, with a bad feeling in his heart.

He Jingheng said nothing, but walked outside wearing his outer robe.

Yuntian walked up to him and made a gesture of invitation: "Mr. Xu, the Crown Prince's wife wants to rest. The Crown Prince invites you to discuss matters outside."

What?

Where are you going?

Why did he feel like he had misheard?

Go outside to discuss matters?

Which outside?

In the yard?

He walked out quickly and saw He Jingheng indeed standing under a dead tree in the yard.

A cold wind blew, and the dead leaves on the trees fell to the ground.

"No, you don't even have a study room in this house?" He said in disbelief, "Who is having a meeting in the yard? And in this cold and snowy day."

"Mr. Xu, the study is connected to the Crown Princess' bedroom. If we discuss matters in there, we're afraid it will disturb the Crown Princess's rest." Yuntian explained.

The shock on Xu Zimo's face came completely from the heart. He didn't expect that He Jingheng would one day do this for a woman.

"Don't you have guest rooms in your house? Can't we hold meetings in the guest rooms? Why do we have to hold meetings in the courtyard?"

Seeing that He Jingheng didn't say anything, he suddenly thought of the way Shang Ruoyi looked at him before, so he had to resign himself to his fate and sit on the cold stone bench in the yard.
