Wang Ruo said, "You can move around in Qingliang Valley, but don't go into certain places. Otherwise, you might lose your life."
Shi Zairong stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "In that case, I would like to thank you two ladies for taking me in."
Tang Chen had heard that the Grand Tutor of Nanyue, though elusive, was incredibly stunning. It was said that he was on par with Wang Yanzhou in terms of looks. As someone obsessed with looks, Tang Chen was curious to see what would emerge after washing off the camouflage.
"You look like a decent person, but my hot spring villa doesn't have anything else to offer, but taking a bath is the most comfortable thing. You'd better clean yourself up first. Otherwise, you'll really attract attention in this clean house of mine."
Shi Zairong couldn't stand the rotten eggs on his side. To better fit in with the image of a refugee, he'd actually picked up two rotten eggs, mixed them with mud, and smeared them all over his body. "That's great, thank you!"
When Shi Zairong was taken to take a bath, Tang Chen added: "Everything else is fine, but you have to be careful when taking a bath. After all, we are in the mountains here, so be careful not to get scared by snakes, insects, rats or ants."
"Thanks for the reminder."
After Shi Zairong left, Hua Wuxin said bluntly, "I think this guy isn't very honest. You guys better keep a close eye on him."
Tang Chen didn't seem to be worried about any unexpected incidents at all. He said, "If he behaved honestly, I would be worried. But it seems that he has no hostility towards us."
Wang Ruo added, "Just like he said just now, he's alone. He won't take risks if he doesn't have a chance of winning."
After thinking for a while, Tang Chen suggested: "I want Qiu Liang to follow him, what do you think?"
Hua Wuxin had no objection to this matter. Putting aside Qiu Liang's martial arts prowess, one had assumed this legendary Nanyue Grand Master, known for his low-key skills, was a hidden master. But in reality, let alone martial arts, his bones and muscles were stiff and weak, leaving him a mere scholar with no strength to even tie a chicken. Judging by the way he walked just now, he probably didn't even walk much in his daily life.
"I just tried it, and his martial arts skills are terrible. The guards in the mansion can easily subdue him with just a flick of their fingers. I'm not afraid of that."
After Hua Wuxin said this, Tang Chen suddenly became a little worried. "Although important places are now guarded by secret guards, this man's martial arts skills are not good, but we can't be careless. After all, he is the Grand Tutor who gave advice to our mortal enemy and the one who successfully instigated the rebellion of the master."
Hearing Tang Chen mention the master, Wang Ruo suddenly started coughing. Hua Wuxin quickly helped her calm down, and Wang Ruo said, "Looking at his nonsense, if I hadn't heard the news earlier, I really wouldn't have guessed that this was the man who was second only to the emperor in Nanyue."
Hua Wuxin still meant what he said just now: "It's okay, this person's martial arts skills are too poor, and his sensitivity is not enough. As long as we pay close attention, he won't cause any big trouble."
After saying that, Hua Wuxin reached into his sleeve, and a small white jade button seal appeared in his palm like magic.
Tang Chen took the seal and took a closer look. Isn't this Shi Zairong's seal? Although it is a private seal, it is also a good thing: "Oh my god, brother-in-law, you are amazing, how do you have such a hand!"
Hua Wuxin glanced at her and said, "Oh, usually you're just Boss Hua Wuxin, but only become brother-in-law when something happens. How hypocritical."
After Tang Chen put away the seal, he quickly flattered her, "What are you talking about? Aren't you my brother-in-law?"
Hua Wuxin rubbed his temples and said helplessly amid Wang Ruo's laughter, "His trip will definitely not be in vain. Be careful not to let him take away anything important."
Tang Chen nodded and said, "I'll let Qiu Liang give the order."
When Wang Ruo heard Tang Chen say that Qiu Liang was the one who was going to give the order, not Wang Nianqing, she couldn't help but ask, "Why, are you really planning on hiding this from Yan Zhou?"
Tang Chen had no other choice. After all, it was rare to meet someone with the same fate in the same place, especially someone like them. As long as Shi Zairong behaved himself these days, she really wanted to get to know him better. "If he knew, do you think he would let him go so easily?"
Hua Wuxin asked back, "What you're doing is like letting a tiger go back into the mountains. Don't you think it's a pity?"
Tang Chen naturally knew this truth. After a long sigh, he said, "It's not easy to meet someone with the same fate as me. If it weren't for our different positions now, perhaps we still have a chance to be friends. As the saying goes, leave a way out for everything so that we can meet again in the future."
Wang Ruo thought for a moment and nodded slightly, saying, "If he can't take away the important things, it's okay to keep it secret."
Hearing this, Tang Chen hurriedly said, "Well, I'll take it that you agree. If Shuyi asks about it, we can all say we recognized the wrong person and then find a time to send him away."
Hua Wuxin smiled slightly and reminded him one last time, "We have no objection, but you, don't regret it. Once he leaves safely, it will be too late to regret."
Even if Tang Chen was intentionally trying to conceal Shi Zairong's affairs, Wang Yanzhou would still be able to find out if he wanted to. Putting aside other matters, when Qiu Liang went to report the situation that night, he told Wang Yanzhou about this matter: "Master, the Madam brought back a gangster today."
"What does that thug look like?" Wang Yanzhou, who knew Tang Chen was obsessed with looks, suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Don't tell him that the thug is a woman. Who would be a thug these days?
Qiu Liang reported truthfully, "When he was brought back, he was filthy. After he was washed, he looked quite presentable."
Wang Yanzhou shook his head, feeling a little tired. "Since you said that, he must be quite good-looking. But do you know why Madam brought him back?"
Qiu Liang only heard a small part of what they said in the room. He wanted to continue listening but was sent away. "From the conversation between the Madam and the Second Madam, it seems that the Madam thinks this strange gangster is from her hometown."
Hearing this, Wang Yanzhou held his forehead and said, "My fellow countryman...you don't need to worry about this matter anymore. Wang Ruo and the others will handle it. It's getting late, go back and rest."
Qiu Liang clasped his fists and said, "Master, please go to bed early. I will take my leave."
In the next few days, as long as the little one was asleep and Tang Chen was free, she wouldn't even go to Liang Shuyi's place, and would hang around Shi Zairong every day.
