Chapter 497: Man is inferior to Tiger (4)
Chang Zaiqing sneered: "At first, I didn't understand what Madam Shen San wanted me to do, but now I understand. Madam Shen San has made a very good calculation. She wants to use me to deal with others."
Madam Zhao was startled: "Miss...what does Madam Shen San want you to do?"
Chang Zaiqing sat down at the table, her expression unpredictable. She wasn't stupid; she could hear the implication in Chen Ruoqiu's words. He said that only Chen Xin could protect her safety, and if she could stay in the Chen Mansion forever, she wouldn't have to worry about those people from Liuzhou coming to visit. He said that Luo Xueyan came from a family of military commanders and had a straightforward and cheerful personality, without any ulterior motives. It was just that Luo Xueyan was stupid and difficult to use, making her easy to deal with. As for the lack of women in Chen Xin's backyard, the implication was even more obvious. If Chang Zaiqing could get in, apart from dealing with the not-so-bright Luo Xueyan, she wouldn't have to worry about anything else.
She said, “Since Madam Shen San thinks so highly of me, I should go and see what’s going on.”
"Young lady, are you going to General Shen's residence?" Madam Zhao was stunned for a moment: "Even though you know that Third Madam Shen has a bad plan, are you going there anyway?"
"It's not a bad idea if it's used well." Chang Zaiqing waved his hand: "Living in the Shen Mansion is not a long-term solution. I have to plan for my future. It's okay, I'm just going to take a look. If there's anything wrong, I won't jump in."
"If..." Nanny Zhao looked at her carefully.
“If you think it’s not bad,” Chang Zaiqing said with a faint smile: “Mrs. Shen San has met my expectations.”

As the night spread throughout Dingjing City, every household lit up, creating a vibrant and prosperous scene. However, beyond the palace, the busiest streets were likely to be found in the south of the city. Restaurants were bustling with music and dancing, the sounds of drinking, the laughter of men and women, and the melodies of stringed instruments and pipa mingled together, creating a truly captivating atmosphere.
The lights at Prince Rui's mansion were beautifully designed, even the lanterns were embroidered with gold thread. Once lit at night, they sparkled and caught everyone's eye. Passersby were tempted to steal one and remove the gold thread to pay for it, but when they saw the stern, menacing guards at the door, they suppressed their treacherous intent and left in disgrace.
Those are things from the residence of Prince Rui of Daliang. Who would dare to steal them?
The mansion was silent, as if devoid of a soul. At the far end lay a vast courtyard, housing a beautifully restored pavilion. Adjacent to the pavilion stood a clear pond, its water a lush emerald green, its moonlit glow alluring. In summer, this place would have offered the unique charm of a winding courtyard filled with lotus blossoms. Unfortunately, the weather was approaching early winter, and even sitting in the pavilion, a chill lingered.
At that moment, a figure sat in the pavilion, a vast expanse of flowing golden purple nearly covering the entire bench. He was a remarkably handsome young man, handsome indeed, but under the gentle moonlight, his usual heroic demeanor gradually softened, his flamboyant features becoming gentler. He lowered his head, teasing the tiger cub in his arms.
The tiger cub was forced to be pressed against his chest. It twisted its head uncomfortably and tried to turn around to bite the hand that was scratching its head. Unfortunately, it failed several times, perhaps because its neck was too short or the hand that was pressing it was too rough. However, the tiger cub did not give up and continued to bite the sleeve of the young man in purple robe without getting tired of it.
Xie Jingxing pulled his sleeve out of the tiger cub's mouth and stared at the area that was mostly wet with the tiger cub's saliva. After a long moment, he flicked the tiger cub's head. The tiger cub let out a soft "Awooo" and finally managed to twist around, scratching at Xie Jingxing's fingers with its claws.
