The topic of having children ended with a gentle tap from the young girl.
We were originally talking about martial arts, but somehow he steered the conversation in another direction.
The subtle atmosphere here doesn't resemble that of two young people experiencing their first love, but rather that of an old married couple who have been together for many years without any shame.
Tianyun's cheeks were burning hot when he suddenly heard him order, "Turn to Fengwei Street and Zhoukou Alley."
The female assassin will bleed to death if she isn't saved soon! Tianyun looked at him in surprise.
If he orders the driver to change course now, there might not be enough time for medical treatment. She pressed down on Xiao Ziwu's raised hand and said somewhat anxiously, "If you don't change course, then go back to the Siye Mansion."
"Fengwei Street Zhoukou Lane".
Xiao Ziwu held her wriggling ankles, her snow-white stockings piled on her tender white ankle bones.
Xiao Ziwu stared intently for a moment, his eyes darkening slightly, and said, "Her origins are still unknown. I don't trust you to keep her at the Siye Mansion. I'll temporarily place her in my villa, and I'll have someone keep a close eye on her."
If she harbors any ill intentions, I will make sure she is reduced to ashes.
He didn't say the last sentence aloud; such a violent thing naturally couldn't be mentioned in front of his precious child.
Tianyun nodded thoughtfully: "Your Highness is indeed very thoughtful!"
The fact that the Siye Mansion is full of elderly and weak people certainly warrants caution.
Then, her focus shifted again, and she tilted her head and asked in confusion, "Does Your Highness have a separate residence outside the palace?"
Wasn't it rumored that he couldn't even afford a wolf-hair brush?
The horse's hooves rolled over a stretch of uneven cobblestone road, and the unconscious female assassin cried out in pain from the jolting and bumping, appearing to be half-awake.
Xiao Ziwu smiled faintly. Her puzzled look made him feel like a little housekeeper. For a moment, he had the illusion that after marriage, his wife was managing the household affairs, but she discovered that he had secretly hidden some money.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you. I'll show you around later. If you like it, I'll give you the land deed and house deed."
It wasn't intentional concealment; this is just the tip of the iceberg.
Besides, when I'm with her, I don't care about anything else and I don't think about these things.
"If I like it, you'll give it to me?"
Tianyun was so surprised by his confident words that her lips parted slightly.
"Um."
The villa in the capital city, with its land deed alone worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, was described in his nonchalant tone as if it were a trivial trinket that could be obtained at will?!
She suddenly sat up straight from his embrace, her moist eyes filled with panic.
“Your Highness, murder and robbery are absolutely forbidden! Although I hope Your Highness will accumulate wealth to pave the way for your advancement, but…”
Xiao Ziwu frowned slightly and interrupted her: "Are you worried about the person I harmed?"
He didn't explain.
"What I'm worried about is Your Highness! If something isn't obtained through legitimate means, what if it comes to light one day? What if you lose the hearts of the people?"
She was so anxious that she didn't notice Xiao Ziwu's brow unfurrowing.
The jealous man cupped her small hand in his palm: "These things were left to me by my mother, they are not illegally obtained. Don't worry, I can support you more than enough."
"..." Well, more than enough.
He casually offered a mansion as a gift...
I'm the poor wretch I've been waiting for!
※※※※
The distant sky was dyed a blood-red twilight by the setting sun, and after the soft clouds drifted by, the intoxicating red light, like rouge, poured onto the tiled walls of the mansion at the end of the alley.
"When the six-petaled snowflakes fly into the house, I sit and watch the green bamboo turn into jade branches."
Beside the vermilion walls of the houses at the end of the alley, the lush green bamboo branches, covered with snow, are just like lustrous white jade.
The clatter of hooves stopped at the end of the alley.
The grand mansion's main gate was tightly locked, and it looked deserted. But as soon as the carriage came to a stop, two pretty young maids pushed open the door to greet them.
Upon seeing that the visitor was Xiao Ziwu, his face showed obvious joy and excitement.
We've been waiting for this moment for ages, and finally, the young master has arrived!
Their bright red and green dresses made them look even more beautiful than flowers.
It wasn't just her superior appearance; her attire alone surpassed that of many daughters of high-ranking officials. An ordinary maid could never have such an impressive presence.
The maid in the red dress was named Yu Niao, and the maid in the green shirt was named Xi Feng.
At this moment, the two flanked Xiao Ziwu, standing no more than half a step away from him. Yu Niao curtsied and said in a sweet voice, "Young Master, it's rare for you to come all this way. Let Yu'er serve you your dinner."
Xiao Ziwu ignored her sweet words and swung his palm, pushing them several meters away. Yu Niao was caught off guard and stumbled to the ground.
But the young master showed no pity whatsoever. He carefully helped the girl down from the carriage, his tender care a stark contrast to his earlier merciless attack.
It deeply pierced Yu Niao's eyes, turning them crimson.
"Young Master..."
Xi Feng stopped a few meters away, not daring to approach without permission.
Two rows of long, slender eyelashes, like tiny brushes, looked at the young master. Seeing that his attention was entirely on that charming woman, she couldn't help but let out a soft, aggrieved cry.
He said coldly, "You two, help the people in the carriage inside."
Tianyun only had time for a quick glance before her face was pressed against his hard chest. She pouted and whispered, "Your Highness's mother is so caring towards you. She has even provided you with a full complement of maids, all of whom are beautiful and elegant. Your Highness is truly blessed with good fortune. I am very envious!"
This house was left to him by his mother, so what is the explanation for these two beautiful maids?
Judging from their young age, they were probably not even born when Consort Li passed away.
The woman in the red dress who had just fallen to the ground looked so pitiful that even I felt a pang of sympathy for her.
"Is my darling jealous?" Xiao Ziwu's chest trembled slightly, and he raised his lips slightly.
He entrusted the management of this mansion to his master and rarely set foot there, sometimes only once every few years.
It must have been a few years ago that his master went to great lengths to buy two maids and keep them in this separate courtyard so that they could serve him wholeheartedly in the future.
The master did not inform him of this matter, otherwise he would not have agreed to let them stay in the other courtyard.
Anyone who gets too close will only annoy him; he will never have another woman besides his precious daughter.
"Why would I be jealous..."
When Your Highness inherits the throne and has three thousand beauties in the harem, with all the most beautiful women in the world in your arms, if that time really comes... what energy will I have to be jealous?
Tianyun lowered his eyes slightly, concealing the bitterness in them.
Although they are afraid to face it, this is an insurmountable chasm between them!
She didn't know if she could accept it by then, watching him favor his concubines and spend the night in separate palaces, indulging in nightly revelry...
Silly boy.
The kitten's eyes were red, but it still argued.
Xiao Ziwu chuckled and placed a kiss on her lips, his voice low and seductive.
"If my dear child is bothered by this, I will send them away tomorrow."
"No need, Your Highness. I'd like to check on the female assassin's injuries first."
Tianyun spun around and broke free from his embrace, quickly changing the subject and running away.
