As Liang Shuyi entered the room, Tang Chen asked someone to put out an extra set of dishes and chopsticks while saying, "You seem to be avoiding someone all day long, and you haven't quarreled with Shen Xin. Looking at your behavior, are you thinking of moving in with me?"
Liang Shuyi replied with a guilty conscience: "I just want some peace and quiet, it's not that complicated. Besides, you have enough space here."
Tang Chen, with his shrewd eyes, had already spotted the flaw in Liang Shuyi's expression: "Tsk tsk tsk, tell me the truth, did you get into trouble outside and your creditors are looking for you?"
"......" Liang Shuyi's hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly, and finally he simply put down the bowl and chopsticks, picked up the sleeping Xiaoshuang'er in his arms and was about to run away.
Tang Chen was also a little shocked and said: "I was just kidding, could it be true?"
Liang Shuyi said with a complicated expression: "You are really good at making jokes."
Tang Chen became alert when he heard this. He could eat this meal at any time, but he couldn't hear about Liang Shuyi's unknown past anytime. "If there's anything, tell me!"
After Liang Shuyi put the child down in her arms, she whispered, "...You can say it, but you have to promise that it will be known to heaven, earth, you, and me."
Tang Chen replied seriously, "I promise! Of course, they both heard it, so that shouldn't count, right?"
Liang Shuyi rolled his eyes at her and said, "What does a grown-up child know? Well, I'm going to tell you!"
"Wait for me to prepare!" As he spoke, Tang Chen first poured himself a bowl of soup, then poured Liang Shuyi a glass of honey water. After preparing the melon seeds and snacks, he ignored the dishes on the table: "Okay, go ahead!"
After organizing his words for a while, Liang Shuyi said concisely: "Well, Princess Fenglai, the person you are looking for might be me."
Wang Yanzhou had previously explained Princess Fenglai's affairs to Tang Chen in detail. If she remembered correctly, Princess Fenglai was looking for a handsome young man. "...I didn't quite hear it. Can you say it again?"
Liang Shuyi sighed deeply and explained, "I used to like wearing men's clothes when I was traveling around. You know that, right?"
After hearing her reminder, Tang Chen suddenly realized and said: "Not only do I know, but you also helped me 'heroically save the beauty'. Oh my God, you must have offended someone else to get into this big trouble!"
Liang Shuyi didn't think much of it. She was just strolling around as usual, and it was just like Tang Chen's experience. Princess Fenglai didn't even look where she was walking in the middle of the road, and she didn't even know how to avoid an oncoming horse. Liang Shuyi, believing that saving a life was better than building a seven-story pagoda, pulled her aside.
As a result, this young woman sent people to inquire about her news every day since then. If she had not asked Wang Yanzhou to block all the previous news about her, it would be strange if the princess did not instigate the King of Shu to come to Daliang to stir up trouble.
"When I saw her face, I suddenly remembered that I really couldn't find any reason to avoid her recently. So, I decided to take shelter here with you first."
From an outsider's perspective, Tang Chen still felt that the sooner such matters were explained, the better. Sometimes, if time dragged on, a simple matter might become complicated over time. "I think we should explain this matter to her clearly. At the very least, it's for the sake of our lifelong happiness."
Liang Shuyi seriously considered Tang Chen's suggestion, then slowly stood up and said, as if ready to die bravely: "...I guess you can't stay here anymore. I'd better take the children and live in the military camp!"
Tang Chen quickly pulled Liang Shuyi back to the chair and said, "What can I say about you? You look like an honest and mature adult, but you are really unreliable in doing things!"
Liang Shuyi didn't want to either, and from the beginning to the end, she had only saved someone. She didn't think she had done anything wrong, and she blamed Feng Lai, that woman, because her mind was probably all muddled: "Alas, it was all because of my youthful recklessness and ignorance. It's too late to regret now. If that unruly princess finds out one day, I'm afraid my mother will scold me to death!"
When talking about the wife of Duke Liang, Liang Shuyi still looked like a little girl. Tang Chen continued to persuade her: "She was just scolded by her godmother. The consequences don't seem to be very serious."
Liang Shuyi let out a long howl, then sighed, "Alas, my mother looks quiet and amiable, but you don't know that when she gets angry, even my father is afraid of her."
"Then I can only wish you good luck. Goodbye," Tang Chen said, collecting the snacks on the table, picking up his chopsticks, and preparing to eat his meal peacefully. Liang Shuyi, who had just said he was leaving, now looked at her with resentment on his face, without making any other moves, as if he suddenly didn't want to leave anymore.
That night, before dinner, Wang Yanzhou hurriedly visited Tang Chen. In order to ensure that Tang Chen's residence would not be discovered by people around Princess Fenglai, he did not dare to stay any longer and left after sitting for a while.
After Tang Chen made sure the child was sound asleep, he found two wine glasses, put on a thick cloak, and tiptoed outside. Feeling the cool breeze from the abyss, he stared at the faint stars in the sky, and couldn't help but be in a daze.
It was not known how long it had passed before Tang Chen's thoughts were brought back to reality by the sudden sound of light footsteps.
Mo Yu was sweating profusely as if he had been running all the way here. Seeing that Tang Chen was still waiting for him, he asked a little embarrassedly: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Tang Chen smiled and showed the small wine glass in his hand while speaking: "Fortunately, the child just fell asleep not long ago, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the time is just right."
Mo Yu took out the still warm wine flask in his arms and said, "This is Xinzhai's favorite monkey wine. It's a bit strong, but it tastes good."
Tang Chen's alcohol tolerance is basically zero. Normally, she doesn't drink a drop of alcohol. But today is a special day. If she doesn't have a couple of drinks, she will feel a little uncomfortable: "Today, I will risk my life to accompany you."
The two of them sat on the ground in silence. After drinking a glass of warm wine, Mo Yu said, "When I'm done here, I'll take you back to see him."
Li Xinzhai had often spoken of the place where he had spent his childhood, practicing martial arts, and how every spring the mountains and plains were covered in peach blossoms, a scene as beautiful as a painting. If she had the chance, she would have loved to see the Ten Mile Peach Forest this spring. "Well, this time when we're fighting South Vietnam, you must be careful. If you can't win, run."
Mo Yu said nonchalantly: "Even if I die in battle, it won't be a pity."
