Ever since returning from the Princess's Mansion, Xu Tianze has been staying quietly in his own courtyard, eating seasonal peach blossom pastries and drinking the few good teas available in the Longmusi Mansion.
At the same time, rumors about the Jiang family were spreading. Old Madam Jiang had angered the gods and was screaming in nightmares every night. The eldest son of the Jiang family woke up and killed all his wives and concubines. He wanted to see Jiang Xue day and night.
Minister Jiang was suspended from his post for failing to teach properly, and spent the entire day arguing with his wife...
For the past half month, the Jiang family has become a laughing stock in the eyes of everyone in Shangjing City. The reputation that aristocratic families have always valued is just another layer of joke.
Xu Tianze lived a peaceful life in the courtyard, as if what was happening outside the courtyard had nothing to do with him. However, he knew in his heart that the fate of the Jiang family had finally been changed, and the Xu family members in the underground could finally feel a little relieved.
Long Musi was sitting opposite Xu Tianze. Although he looked calm and was leisurely sipping tea with Xu Tianze, he felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
Is there really still time? Should I take action immediately?
Long Musi was so conflicted that he didn't even notice that the peach blossom pastry in his hand was crushed.
"Your Highness, do you understand?" Xu Tianze put down the half-eaten peach blossom pastry and looked at Long Musi with a smile, "Is this peach blossom pastry sweet?"
Long Musi nodded, as if responding to Xu Tianze's previous question, and as if answering Xu Tianze's next question.
Xu Tianze took out a handkerchief to free the broken pieces of peach blossom pastry from Long Musi's hand, and wiped Long Musi's hands at the same time.
Only when Xu Tianze took his hand did Long Musi realize his own loss of composure, and then he smiled apologetically.
But Xu Tianze's pale face made his smile fade again: "Old Qi wrote to you saying that on the day of the full moon, he must guard you by your side."
"That old man Qi is really unreliable. I even told him to keep it a secret for me." Xu Tianze didn't mind what Long Musi said, and just teased Long Musi for making a fuss.
On the contrary, Long Musi was not in a good mood. If Mr. Qi had not suddenly written to him and was hesitant and evasive, Long Musi would not have known about this matter.
God knows how heartbroken he was when he knew that Xu Tianze would be poisoned every three months at the next full moon.
During the treatment, I was told with great confidence that this would only happen in the first year because I was weak. Who knew that I would also go through the next two years like this?
"That old bastard, wait until he comes to the capital, and see how I deal with him." Long Muse was somewhat dissatisfied with the concealment of the truth from Xu Tianze and Old Qi, but he couldn't bear to blame Xu Tianze, so he could only vent his anger on Old Qi.
When Xu Tianze heard what Long Musi said, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. If he had not chosen to hide it from Long Musi, Long Musi would definitely not let him return to this cannibalistic place without recuperating for three years.
They would even stop Mr. Qi from using the secret method of the Divine Doctor Valley to make a desperate effort.
However, Xu Tianze would not believe that Old Qi was treated harshly after his arrival. After all, based on his understanding of Long Muse, Long Muse was just talking. He was the last and most valuable successor of the Divine Doctor Valley.
"You'd better have a good rest in your mansion for the next few days. When the attack is approaching, you will be just like a weak scholar who can't even tie a chicken." There was a hint of disgust on Long Musi's face, but his words revealed his concern.
Xu Tianze knew that this was Long Musi's last bottom line, so he didn't argue. He just nodded, picked up the uneaten piece of peach blossom pastry, and started eating again.
Long Musi never liked sweets, so since he only ate a little, it meant that the peach blossom pastry was sweet. Xu Tianze chewed the peach blossom pastry carefully, and his thoughts began to wander.
This quiet courtyard has a unique leisurely atmosphere, which makes Long Musi and Xu Tianze feel peaceful.
Unfortunately, the situation was so chaotic that it was impossible for the people involved to leave halfway. The two of them had already lost control of their own situation.
Xu Tianze also had a leisurely time. After all, Long Musi didn't allow him to do this or that, and even leaving the mansion was restricted. He could only feed the carp in the pond and look at the flowers in the mansion.
"Young Master, the wife of the Crown Prince of the Zhenguo Mansion requests to see you." Ma Zheng stood behind Xu Tianze and saluted.
Xu Tianze frowned, but he was not scared by Ma Zheng's sudden appearance. After all, Ma Zheng had been appearing and disappearing suddenly for three years, and he had long been used to it.
What made him frown was that Jiang Xue wanted to see him. Why did she report directly to him? Shouldn't Long Musi handle it? At this time, Xu Tianze had no awareness that he was already half the master in the Third Prince's Mansion.
"What does His Highness say?" Xu Tianze turned around and helped Ma Zheng up. "Brother Ma, shouldn't you tell His Highness about this directly?"
"This..." Ma Zheng stood up, looking a little at a loss.
"But His Highness asked Brother Ma to give me a message?" Xu Tianze was curious when he saw Ma Zheng hesitated to speak, so he added another sentence.
The reason why Ma Zheng was so hesitant must be that Long Musi said something that made Ma Zheng not know how to start.
"I didn't bring any message. If I did, I wouldn't have asked someone as tongue-tied as him to deliver it." Long Musi came from a distance, and his voice came from afar.
When Ma Zheng saw Long Muse coming, he bowed to him and then stepped back at Long Muse's gesture.
Seeing this, Xu Tianze didn't know what to say, but Ma Zheng was Long Musi's man after all, so he couldn't say anything else and could only change the subject.
"Then why did you let Brother Ma tell me?" Can't you just refuse directly?
When Long Musi heard the second half of Xu Tianze's unfinished sentence, he was extremely speechless. Although the chassis was his, the people who came were not here to see him.
"You'd better go and see her. She has come here seven or eight times." Long Musi was helpless. He had to send Jiang Xue away every time she came.
This happened seven or eight times in a row, and some people who had noticed the signs a long time ago had to laugh at the joke. If this continued, his prince's mansion would probably become another topic of conversation among the people after the Jiang family.
"No." Xu Tianze refused without thinking. He was not interested in arguing with Jiang Xue.
It's easy to guess what Jiang Xue wants to say. It's nothing more than that Xu Tianze is now of humble status, depends on the third prince for a living, has harmed Old Madam Jiang and the eldest son of the Jiang family, and can only hide in the dark to take revenge on her.
He'd heard it so many times that he could recite it by heart. What else was there to see? Moreover, Jiang Xue couldn't help herself with just these things. Xu Tianze's revenge had only just begun, and she would be even more desperate later.
As soon as Long Musi heard Xu Tianze say this, he knew what was going on. He had no choice but to ask someone to drive Jiang Xue away. Fortunately, he had already guessed that Xu Tianze might not meet Jiang Xue, so he didn't ask Jiang Xue to come to his house at all. He just waited at the door of the mansion.
In order to avoid the embarrassment and ridicule of entering the mansion again and again and being kicked out again and again, it would be better for him to choose one that would cause less trouble.
As for how angry Jiang Xue was when she heard this, that was not his concern.
