"Sister-in-law, there's no need to see me off. Please stay here."
After finishing breakfast, the protagonist asked to leave. However, Xiao Shaoyin's enthusiasm seemed to have not yet burned out, and she took the initiative to see the protagonist out the door.
This made Tang Yu vaguely unhappy.
He still hasn't figured out why Shao Yin's attitude has changed so much.
He couldn't figure it out.
However, even though he was a little unhappy, Tang Yu still pulled the protagonist aside and said a few words to him, and then watched him get on his horse and leave.
As the sound of horse hooves gradually faded away, Tang Yu and Xiao Shaoyin also withdrew their gaze.
Xiao Shaoyin took Tang Yu's hand without even looking at him, and then her eyes moved, she bit her lip and asked, "What did you say to him?"
He didn't hear the few words Tang Yu said just now.
"I say, if the Second Prince asks about me, please ask him not to talk about anything about me." Tang Yu knew that Silly Fox was worried about gains and losses, so he answered Xiao Shaoyin's question very frankly.
Even if he is unhappy, he will not let his partner have unfounded suspicions.
This is very despicable.
"Is that the Second Prince who insisted on marrying you?"
A feeling of jealousy quietly emerged in Xiao Shaoyin's heart, and he used a few sarcastic words to point out the connection between the second prince and Tang Yu.
At that time... If I hadn't discovered it quickly, Tang Yu might have even put on the wedding dress.
Thinking of this, Xiao Shaoyin could no longer stop feeling the bitterness in her heart.
So Xiao Shaoyin turned her head away, lowered her eyebrows, and said nothing.
The bright and charming beauty lowered her head, revealing a hint of resentment, but she was not like those persistent and hysterical people who turned the other person's faults into their own in the blink of an eye.
This clever and effective method was also what Tang Yu found most useful. Therefore, when Shao Yin showed this attitude, Tang Yu subconsciously distanced himself from the Second Prince:
"Actually, I have no connection with him."
"I had already rejected the Second Prince."
"But, the wedding sign had already been posted in the mansion..." When Xiao Shaoyin heard this, doubts appeared in her eyes.
Tang Yu chuckled twice. Although he thought that marrying the second prince without Shao Yin's knowledge would make Shao Yin disheartened and add to his image as a "scumbag", when the tasker is doing a task, he will not get involved with other people except the target of the task.
Therefore, Tang Yu only dared to think about it at that time.
However, marrying the second prince without Shao Yin's knowledge would indeed greatly increase Shao Yin's despair, so Tang Yu adopted a compromise approach.
Although he privately rejected the Second Prince's favor, he openly allowed the rumors to spread freely. Of course, it would be best if they could reach Shao Yin's ears.
Then Tang Yu ordered his servants to start decorating the house, pretending that it was going to be a wedding, so that it would be indistinguishable from the real thing.
In the end, Shao Yin believed it after seeing this scene, and then without hesitation, she pulled him down from the position of the emperor's close minister, and made the fictitious marriage completely fall through.
This... can be considered as an accidental departure from the main storyline.
Ahem, I’ve gone off topic.
However, Tang Yu naturally couldn't reveal the whole secret, so he could only say half-truthfully: "Actually, everything you heard was fake."
"I have never thought of becoming the Second Prince's consort."
Xiao Shaoyin's shoulders froze instantly, and it was hard to tell whether the expression on her face was more shock or joy.
But if this is really the case, then wouldn’t I be harming Tang Yu?
If Tang Yu knew that he was behind his demotion, would he...
A sense of panic suddenly grew, and Xiao Shaoyin became visibly flustered.
He seemed to be trying hard to curl up the corners of his mouth to respond to Tang Yu, but that smile was uglier than crying.
After seeing this, Tang Yu sighed heavily.
"Silly fox, I know it's you. I'm willing to stay here now, so don't think about it anymore."
A pair of warm hands gently held Xiao Shaoyin's cold face, and expressed the worries in Xiao Shaoyin's heart in a gentle tone.
No, maybe that's not a worry anymore.
Isn’t it?
Tang Yu's gentle and calm smile gradually brought Xiao Shaoyin's cold heart back to normal. After realizing what Tang Yu said, he asked in a surprised whisper:
"You know everything?"
You know it's me who caused you to lose your way to fame and become trapped in this small place...
"Don't think about it. I think it's fine this way." Tang Yu touched Xiao Shaoyin's face again, dispelling the confusion in his pupils.
Really, he really doesn't want to live that kind of life anymore.
This is absolutely true.
He has to get up earlier than the chickens every day, and has to engage in intrigue in official circles, and be careful of the obstacles that others may secretly set up.
That kind of life is really unbearable.
It’s still better now. Although it’s less busy, it’s really suitable for retirement.
Probably for every person who does this, caring for the elderly is an obsession ingrained in their bones.
The seriousness in Tang Yu's eyes made Xiao Shaoyin believe it a little, but he couldn't help but worry that Tang Yu was comforting himself.
So even though Tang Yu held him carefully, he didn't feel relieved.
In this case, Tang Yu's heart sank.
Then he has to come.
So he gently squeezed Xiao Shaoyin's face with both hands until he squeezed out a plump look from Xiao Shaoyin's oval face.
"It's so beautiful..." Tang Yu stared at Xiao Shaoyin with a smile in his eyes, and a smaller version of Xiao Shaoyin was reflected in his clear eyes.
Xiao Shaoyin was also amused, and her eyelashes trembled, like a butterfly spreading its wings and gently fluttering.
He muttered, "It doesn't look good. It's ugly..."
How can it be good-looking when all the facial features are squeezed together?
It must be Tang Yu coaxing him.
In fact, Tang Yu was not lying. Xiao Shaoyin's charming face looked really cute when squeezed together.
But no matter what, the goal was achieved. Tang Yu looked at Shao Yin who finally smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, the two looked at each other and couldn't help laughing again.
"Go back."
Xiao Shaoyin looked at Tang Yu quietly with a pair of affectionate and charming eyes.
"Well, let's go back." Tang Yu nodded.
Finally, the two hands were crossed and clasped together tightly, with their slender white fingers intertwined and never separated again.
[Host, the whitewashing progress has reached 100%...] Looking at such a beautiful scene, the system couldn't help but lower its voice.
"Okay, got it." Tang Yu looked at the person beside him and replied to the system in his mind without any expression.
Mission accomplished, that's all. Anyway, I can't let go of this hand easily...
"I won't leave until the life of this body of mine is over."
He finally found the silly fox who was hard-mouthed but soft-hearted. How could he bear to throw him away?
I can't let Shao Yin be sad again...
