"No need, you can arrange it as you see fit."
Xu Shicai didn't want to trouble himself, mainly because there was no need for it—Cheng Gujian had been immersed in the field for many years and was highly capable, so naturally he, an outsider, didn't need to worry about what he had compiled.
Who should be killed, who should be spared, and who should be employed have all been arranged long ago. Even Dongfang Xiao himself is more adept at this than him.
All he had to do was provide support—even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily; now that Cheng Gujian has "failed and died," there are bound to be people who refuse to accept reality.
The young empress was already taking care of everything that needed to be dealt with, whether it was confiscating property or exiling people. With the combat teams assigned to her, things couldn't be easier.
"The main topic is how our two sides can maintain cooperation in the future?"
Tang Shuang also gave her a document, "This is the proposed plan. Please take a look at it carefully, Miss Dongfang."
"good."
Dongfang Xiao felt a little uncomfortable being addressed like that, but she still took the items and looked through them carefully.
Compared to the previous semi-verbal and semi-written discussions with Xu Shi, this document in hand is clearly more detailed.
If it were anything else, she probably would have examined it for a long time, but it was just something Xu Shi had made, so she didn't need to take it so seriously—mainly, would taking it seriously even be useful? She couldn't refuse it anyway…
Having a general idea in mind is enough. Perhaps because of the seed planted in her heart, the little empress wasn't too worried that Xu Shi would take the opportunity to cause trouble, and thus naturally developed a trust in him.
"I didn't even notice yesterday that Miss Tang Shuang is... the governor of Night Sin City?"
She was actually more interested in Tang Shuang. Yesterday, Tang Shuang had been inconspicuous in the crowd, and she hadn't even given her a second thought.
She was surprised to find that he was the supreme ruler of the City of Night Sin.
"No need to be so formal. I'm a few years older than you. You can call me 'older sister' if you want."
Tang Shuang never cared about these formalities and waved her hand dismissively.
“…Then I’ll call you Sister Tang.”
Hearing her say that, Dongfang Xiao suddenly realized.
Regardless of her status, she must be one of Xu Shi's wives, right? At least since she came in, she has never seen the two of them hold hands and separate.
Logically, she should have acted surprised, asking, "So you two were a married couple?"
But perhaps because she had experienced so much before, she didn't seem surprised at all... as if things were just how they were supposed to be.
Even the change of address was so natural.
