Xie Lingqin showed no hostility when praised.
Bai Yu's slap was so heavy that she almost coughed, so she quickly pulled Tridacna aside and said, "Let's go."
Bai Yu thought it over and over and felt that this method was good. He turned around and walked inside. After taking a few steps, he suddenly raised the hand that had just patted Xie Lingqin and looked at it.
This kid...
Why are you so thin and weak? Will you be able to withstand any beatings in the future?
Well, considering how smart he is, next time he comes, I'll make him some chicken soup to nourish him.
...
I thoroughly enjoyed my meal of giant clam shells today.
When she and Xie Lingqin left Tianxia Yiwei, their faces were rosy and healthy.
"Tridacna, you've eaten so much, your face is all oily. It won't be long before you turn into a pig."
Zihe looked at the giant clam walking behind Xie Lingqin and couldn't help but speak up.
"It's alright, you won't turn into a pig. We don't eat like this every day. If your appetite increases in the future, just go to Tianxia Yiwei. Anyway, if we do this every day, the novelty will wear off." Xie Lingqin said, and as she spoke, she couldn't help but reach out and pinch the pink and chubby cheek of the giant clam.
"Hmm, you've only eaten for one day, how come you seem to have gained weight?"
"Miss, it's alright. I'm not afraid of getting fat, I'm only afraid of going hungry." Tridacna smiled happily, content as long as there was food.
Xie Lingqin smiled, then found a place to change back into women's clothes, and led Zihe and Tridacna away into the distance.
The carriage had already been sent back to the general's mansion, so now they had no choice but to walk.
Too much beauty can attract trouble, so Xie Lingqin took Zihe and Tridacna along a quiet path.
The eaves on both sides are unusually high, standing side by side.
"Hey, have you heard? The Crown Prince is really good to the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion. When the Prefect of the Capital came to arrest her, the Crown Prince stopped him..."
"Yes, I've heard about it too. Speaking of which, this young lady of the General's Mansion has unknowingly turned misfortune into blessing. Although she was abandoned by the Prince of Xian at first, now the Prince of Yi and the Crown Prince are both helping her. This is truly good fortune..."
Even on the quietest streets, the chatter can still reach the ears of those with keen senses.
Xie Lingqin frowned slightly, her expression inscrutable.
"Miss, I'm afraid the General has also received the news?" Zihe asked gravely.
Xie Lingqin stopped in her tracks, seemingly unconcerned. "Leaving aside the rumors circulating outside, even the Prefect of the Capital has probably reported this matter to the General. However, it's rather strange that Second Aunt actually intervened."
"Miss, should I go and investigate?"
"No need. The Prefect of the Capital is investigating now. If you are discovered, it will only bring trouble. Let's go back to the manor. We'll deal with whatever comes our way." After softly uttering the last word, Xie Lingqin suddenly turned around and looked at the Crown Prince, who seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
He wore a brocade robe with a loose belt, his expression was cold and stern, exuding nobility and power.
"You guys go ahead and wait for me."
Zihe and Tridacna looked at the Crown Prince, who was radiating a low-pressure aura, and stared at each other for a long time before finally nodding in agreement and walking forward.
"Alright, Your Highness, if you have something to say, then say it. If not, please leave." Xie Lingqin casually straightened her sleeves, her tone even colder than before. Moreover, she didn't even look at the Crown Prince while speaking.
Yuwen Yao's phoenix eyes were deep and unfathomable. He took a few steps forward, his wide blue sleeves hanging down to his sides, exuding an aura that seemed capable of crushing everything and could not be ignored.
Xie Lingqin narrowed her eyes, a cold smile playing on her lips. "Oh, I forgot to congratulate the Crown Prince. You suffered such a great loss of power, but in no time, you look so good. Your complexion is good, your body is good, and your spirits are good too. Not bad, not bad."
These words are clearly sarcastic.
Yuwen Yao was speechless for a moment, and the dark, unfathomable light in his phoenix eyes tightened.
"Your Highness, alright... I won't block your way." Xie Lingqin raised her eyebrows slightly, letting the Crown Prince pass by as he headed back to his residence.
The Crown Prince clearly understood the meaning behind Xie Lingqin's words, but showed no anger. He parted his thin lips slightly, "Xie Lingqin, regarding today's matter..."
"What happened today?" Xie Lingqin turned her head and interrupted the Crown Prince with an innocent look on her face. "Nothing happened today."
"I came up here to ask you to do something," the prince said after a long pause.
Xie Lingqin suddenly turned her head, "Doing something?"
"I need a woman."
