The engagement stands!

What about Princess Guangning? What about Guangning's child? Where did he put her?

Xiao Linglang exhaled, and forced a smile to prevent him from noticing anything unusual. "Brother Chang Hui, can I wait for you outside the kitchen? I feel a little choked."

Chang Hui laughed, tapped Xiao Linglang's nose, and said lovingly and helplessly: "I've always said that there's a strong smell of fireworks here, let's go."

Xiao Linglang walked out of the kitchen, her hands hanging in her sleeves, exerting so much force that veins popped out.

If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would have doubted the deep affection in his eyes, and who would have thought that his words were full of deception!

Xiao Linglang bit her lips deeply until she tasted a hint of rust on her tongue, then she let go.

Xing Qiu's words were half true, and the other half... was also true.

It felt like there was a big hole in her chest, and the cold wind was scraping her flesh.

Chanxin, aunt, sisters, relatives and hundreds of servants...why?

Why is he doing that?

Xiao Linglang still didn't want to believe it. She couldn't think of any reason. Even if he tried to marry a wealthy woman, his mother wouldn't stop him or force him to keep his promise.

"Linglang, the hot tea is ready."

She sat under the eaves of the main room, looking at him with a smile in his eyes as he ran towards her with a bowl in his hand.

"I tested the water temperature and it's just drinkable."

Perhaps he was afraid that she had been waiting for too long and was thirsty, so he ran over and was a little out of breath when he stood in front of her.

Xiao Linglang took the bowl, thanked him, lowered his head and took a sip. As he said, the water temperature was just right. He must have cooled it too much.

"Brother Chang Pei, when will you bring Auntie here? Brother Chang Pei will stay in Kyoto in the future. If Auntie stays in Lin'an, she will probably be lonely."

After drinking tea, Xiao Linglang made a second attempt. She hoped that he could tell the truth that Madam Chang had been brought to Kyoto by him.

However, he sighed and slowly complained to her: "I mentioned that we should let her come to Kyoto to live with us so that I can be filial to her, but she said that she was used to living in Lin'an and asked me to arrange more people to serve her."

"I advised her several times, and even annoyed her several times."

"Aunt is also worried about hindering brother Chang Bei's future and feels sorry for him." Xiao Linglang whispered.

"The old man is too stubborn. Linglang will help me persuade him later."

Runiang prepared breakfast and went into the inner room to check the medicinal tea she had prepared for Xiao Linglang yesterday. When she weighed the teapot, she was a little surprised.

"Madam finished her medicinal tea last night."

She happily took credit from Chang Bei.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Chang Hui's fair face. Facing Xiao Linglang's teasing look, he waved his hand to send Ru Niang away.

After Ru Niang left, he explained shyly, "I came back too late last night. Linglang had already been put to bed. I wanted to see if Linglang had slept well. When I returned to the wing room, I happened to feel a little thirsty."

In fact, he was staring at the sleeping face of the little girl and became greedy. He wanted to drink some cold tea to calm down. She was still pregnant and he couldn't touch her now.

He coughed lightly, "I didn't mean to do that."

"I hope Brother Chang Pei does it on purpose." After Xiao Linglang finished joking, she lowered her head and ate quietly, not giving Chang Pei a chance to speak.

After breakfast, when he was about to go on duty, Xiao Linglang helped him put on his court clothes and asked, "Brother Chang Pei, now that the baby is fine, can you accompany me to visit Kyoto during this day off? Since I was a child, I have been curious about what Kyoto looks like. The day I came back, I wanted to see Brother Chang Pei, so I didn't take a close look."

"Although Linglang's condition is better now, I'm still worried if you go out. I'm afraid you'll be bumped into by someone without eyes. After Linglang has recovered from giving birth, I will definitely take her to have a good look around Kyoto." Chang Hui "euphemistically" refused, watching the little girl droop her shoulders dejectedly.

He rubbed the back of her head and said, "Linglang, Brother Chang Hui is worried about you. It was you who nursed your body back to health little by little."

"Okay, Brother Chang Hui must keep his word."

"When has my brother ever lied to you?" Chang Hui raised his hand and gently scratched the tip of the delicate girl's nose. "My brother has gone to court, and will be back early today."

Xiao Linglang saw him out the door and only closed the door and went back into the house when the carriage was out of sight.

When she saw Xing Qiu on the beam, she raised her head and looked at her and knelt down.

"I would like to ask you to do me a small favor."

Xing Qiu flew down from the beam, put away the smile on his face, raised his eyebrows, held Xiao Linglang's arm and growled, "What are you doing?"

"I don't have anything to ask you to help me. What I rely on is the confidence given by the Xiao family. Now I am penniless, so I can only shamelessly bet on my fragile life."

Xiao Linglang smiled bitterly at Xing Qiu, "Brother Chang Hui tore up the contract. As the object of the transaction, it is reasonable for you to come and kill me. If you pity me for having a child, I will do it myself, but I want to ask you for one thing."

She clenched her teeth and breathed harder. "Brother Chang Hui deceived me, but he couldn't have done anything to the Xiao family. My father's private collection appeared on the second prince's waist. I suspect that my father's death and the Xiao family may be related to the royal family."

Xing Qiu forcefully dragged her up from the ground, shouted softly, and smiled at the innocent person in front of him, "You want me to help you check, right?"

Xiao Linglang nodded shyly.

"Your logic is really weird."

After a long time, Xing Qiu looked at Xiao Linglang who was looking at her expectantly, and uttered a word.

She pointed at the almost invisible scar on Xiao Linglang's neck and said, "It's not that I can't do it, but I think it's too easy for Chang Hui if you die without knowing anything. When I take revenge, I want to make myself feel comfortable."

Xiao Linglang's eyelashes trembled, "Now that I know he lied to me, are you going to kill me?"

Xing Qiu's fingertips paused and he choked.

Xiao Linglang looked at her without blinking.

"That's my business, why should you mind it?"

"Let me ask."

"I will send you back to Mobei." Xing Qiu said unhappily, and then jumped out of the window and left.

Xiao Linglang and the frightened Runiang were left looking at each other.

She coughed lightly, her eyes a little vague, "She...she came to see me and the child."

Ru Niang patted her chest and exhaled heavily, "This girl is so free and easy."

"I think so too." Xiao Linglang replied with a fake smile, then walked to the window, pressed her temples, and covered her mouth in a mysterious manner, "Runiang, don't tell Brother Chang Pi about this. Brother Chang Pi doesn't like us to be in contact. He is so tired every day, and I don't want him to be angry again."

"I understand." Runiang made a gesture to seal her mouth and moved closer to the window, facing Xiao Linglang. "Madam, the medicinal tea is ready. Would you like to drink some?"

"You drank a lot last night. Let's use it later." Xiao Linglang sent Runiang away.

……

"Wolf Lord, Chang Hui is cautious, and our subordinates are not doing their job well. We have been following him for many days but have not been able to find out where he has hidden his wife."

Tuoba Jin lay on the bench, "Change a group."

"Lord Wolf, please forgive me."

"Please forgive me, Lord Wolf. I will find out where Chang Hui is hiding the Queen as soon as possible."

Tuoba Jin opened his cold eyes and looked at the guard beside him.

"You have lived enough."
