"How dare you humiliate me like this, you..."
Before Qin Xuezhen could finish her scolding, Tang Xicheng grabbed her wrist.
"I'm sorry, Master Kang, this is my wife, not a gift. If you really like it, I will prepare a generous gift to express my gratitude."
After listening to his explanation, Kang Wenhai did not react at all, and his eyes kept wandering around Qin Xuezhen.
"Sir, do you think I, Kang Wenhai, am easy to deceive? The woman next to you doesn't have her hair tied up. She is clearly a girl, not a woman. Women from my Yaoguang Country would never go out without their hair tied up. You are either not from my Yaoguang Country, or you are deceiving me."
I didn't expect that Kang Wenhai, who looked like a lazy second-generation rich kid, could be so observant.
However, as a modern person, Qin Xuezhen had never thought about this. There was no rule in the customs of the Chixiao Kingdom that women must wear their hair in a bun, so both of them ignored it.
If they admitted now that they were not from Yaoguang Country, they would probably get into trouble. Besides, they had already lied once, and no matter what they said now, the other party would not give up.
"Master Kang, please forgive me. This woman is indeed a gift I brought with me. However, I haven't met the head of the Kang family yet, so I can't just take her out without permission!"
Hearing Tang Xicheng say this, Qin Xuezhen's face changed drastically. Regardless of where they were at the moment, she grabbed Tang Xicheng's arm.
"Your Highness, are you abandoning me? Have you forgotten what's inside me?"
Qin Xuezhen deliberately lowered her voice, but it was difficult to hide the anger in her heart at the moment.
Tang Xicheng felt a little annoyed. What he said just now was just a temporary measure. Why couldn't this woman hear it?
"Shut up, I won't leave you here!"
Although Qin Xuezhen still didn't believe what Tangxicheng said, she even thought about how to escape.
Afterwards, the head of the Kang family met with Tangxi Cheng alone, and Qin Xuezhen was left in the hall and had to deal with the covetousness of the eldest son of the Kang family.
"Don't worry, young lady. You will be my son sooner or later. There is nothing wrong with following me. My Kang family's ancestors were imperial merchants. They are much richer than you can imagine."
Qin Xue really didn't care about this. All she was thinking about was how to escape.
[The system is going to sell me out now, did you hear that?]
The system is about to cry because of the stupidity of this woman in front of it. As the heroine, what is she worried about?
[Host, don't worry. As the heroine, ordinary supporting characters can't touch you. Otherwise, the plot will interfere. What is there to worry about?]
Their indifference made Qin Xuezhen very desperate. In the end, he used the excuse of going to the toilet to crawl through the dog hole and escaped from the Kang family.
At this time, Tangxi Cheng was immediately surrounded after entering the Kang family's backyard.
Tang Xicheng thought to himself that something was wrong. He was afraid that this person had already known his identity, but he didn't understand how the other party figured it out.
Then, a middle-aged man covered in jewels walked out from among the group of guards.
When the other party saw Tangxi City, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Prince of Chixiao Nation, I never expected to meet such a great figure as you in the territory of Yaoguang Nation."
Tang Xicheng paused slightly, and finally looked around vigilantly.
"What does the Kang family master mean by this? Are you trying to fabricate a crime on me and have me brought to justice? It's a pity that even if you have made great contributions, you won't be able to return to your position as an imperial merchant."
This can be said to be a knot in the heart of the Kang family. When they go out, they always mention that their ancestors were imperial merchants.
But no one ever dared to say why they ended up here.
"Whether you can go back depends on whether the descendants of the Kang family have the ability, but today you are destined not to go back."
"I'm a little curious. I wonder how Mr. Kang recognized me?"
Master Kang laughed heartily a few times, and seemed to have no ill will towards him. He walked boldly to the front of Tangxi City.
"My last name is Kang, and I've traveled extensively throughout the years. I once met Your Highness from a distance in the capital of Chixiao Nation. When I saw Your Highness again today, I was a little hesitant to recognize him at first, until I took out the tea used exclusively by the Chixiao Nation's royal family, and finally I was able to confirm Your Highness's identity."
The other party called himself His Highness, which was a good start, so Tangxi City gradually let down its guard.
"So that's how it is. This is a tea unique to my royal family. After taking a sip, you must eat a piece of cake. Otherwise, the tea will be so bitter that you won't be able to take a second sip. Ordinary people often won't take a second sip, but they don't know that the essence of this tea lies in that second sip."
Kang Shi smiled, clasped his fists, and performed a simple greeting.
"Greetings to His Royal Highness the City King of Chixiao Nation. I wonder what brings His Royal Highness the City King to my Yaoguang Nation?"
"I don't have any big plans. I just heard that the Kang family is now at odds with the imperial court. I'm worried that Boss Kang will suffer, so I came here specially."
It was obvious that Kang Shi had long harbored the intention of treason. After such a slight test, both sides probably understood each other's intentions.
After a few words, Kang Shi invited Tang Xicheng to his study.
At this time, Qin Xuezhen had already run to the street, still trying desperately to get away.
[Remind the host, you are moving away from the male protagonist, please return quickly. ]
"I replied, you big-headed devil! He's about to sell me out. I don't know what's waiting for me when I go back. Don't even think about asking me to serve that fat, big-eared idiot."
[As the heroine, the host needs to take a long-term view. Besides, they are just supporting characters. In simple terms, NPCs can't hurt you at all.]
[Go away, I won’t believe you anymore!]
Qin Xuezhen cursed while running away frantically, and accidentally bumped into someone. The moment she looked up, Qin Xuezhen was almost scared to death.
[Oh my god, why is the third prince here? ]
Along the way, Qin Xuezhen and Tang Xicheng often wore a piece of rag on their heads in order to conceal their identities.
So they bumped into each other, and the Third Prince didn't recognize who was in front of him.
The guards around him saw that their master was inexplicably bumped into by someone, and worried that he was in danger, so they immediately drew their swords and blocked the way.
"How dare you! Who are you?"
Qin Xuezhen was so scared that she lowered her head, tightly pulling the headscarf on her head, and didn't even dare to say a word.
Fortunately, the third prince didn't pay much attention to it. He ordered someone to help her up and left.
At this moment, an alarm suddenly sounded in Yao Guangyue's mind.
[Alarm, alarm, the heroine is detected nearby and is in contact with Master Yaoguang.]
【What!】
