Green tea was read, the villain's family begged me to be happy

"It's on fire, hurry up and pack up!"

"I just got a piece of new cloth a few days ago, and I haven't had time to cut it to make clothes yet. I can't let it get burned."

Xing Xiaoya was sleeping soundly when she suddenly heard a burst of noisy noises. After she realized what was happening, she immediately jumped out of bed.

She put on her shoes and ran out in a hurry. There were originally two maids left in the outer room to keep watch, but now it was empty. Apparently, the two maids heard the fire and fled in a hurry, not caring about her as a guest.

Looking at the empty outer room, her heart sank. This was the eldest princess's residence. This was her first time as a guest. She was a poor girl with no status and didn't even know where to run for her life.

Xing Xiaoya hurried back to the house and put on her coat. When she came out again, there was no one outside the house, as if she was the only one left there.

She pushed open the gate and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings, and was suddenly frightened.

The moon was obscured by dark clouds tonight, and everything around was pitch black. She couldn't even find a lantern. Moreover, the house where she lived was obviously located in a remote area, and the servants passing by couldn't see her. She didn't know whether they had gone to put out a fire or simply forgot about her.

Xing Xiaoya looked at the pitch-black narrow alley in front of her and really didn't dare to move forward a step. If a bad guy showed up at this time, she would be finished.

Just as she was hesitating, a maid suddenly appeared.

She was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but when the maid ran up to her, she could see clearly that she was a strange person. She opened her mouth and prepared to scream.

But before he could even utter the word "help", someone covered his mouth with his hands, and he couldn't make any sound.

"Xiaoya, it's me."

A deep and pleasant male voice sounded in her ears. Xing Xiaoya was slightly startled. She seemed to have heard this voice somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where it was for a while.

"It's you, why are you here?" Xing Xiaoya obviously remembered and asked immediately.

"By chance, I was investigating a case nearby and learned that you were here, and suddenly a fire broke out. I was a little worried about your safety. After all, the servants of wealthy families are best at flattering the powerful and bullying the weak. I was afraid they wouldn't take you into consideration, so I came to see you. I didn't expect that you were really forgotten." Jiang Chengxiao let go of her and said anxiously.

Xing Xiaoya looked at him seriously. The man in front of her had strange makeup on, but his concern for her was obvious. Her original worried and frightened emotions calmed down.

"Hahaha." She even laughed out loud.

"There's a fire outside, and you can still laugh. Fortunately, the wind is against you, otherwise the fire would have spread over here and no one would have noticed you, a guest living in the side yard." Jiang Chengxiao said in a deep voice with a stern face.

"Aren't you here? This is the second time you have saved me. You are really a hero!" Xing Xiaoya blinked and said excitedly.

Jiang Chengxiao's tone was cold at first, but after hearing her words, he instantly became more energetic and his eyes became much warmer.

"What a heroic act! This is what I should do." He agreed happily.

On the other side of the mansion, Jiang Chengzhong led the secret guards to cause sabotage. Seeing that the guards of the Princess's Mansion had gathered and it was almost time to retreat, Jiang Chengxiao was nowhere to be seen.

"Young Master, it's time to retreat. Do you want to go find the Second Master?" the leader of the secret guards asked softly.

Coming to the Princess's Mansion to cause damage is not an easy task, but rather quite dangerous.

They certainly did not act haphazardly, but made sufficient preparations in advance. Whether it was attacking and setting fire or retreating safely, they had advance plans. One wrong step could cause the plan to fail, or even expose their identities.

But now Jiang Chengxiao did not come to meet up as scheduled, which was a very bad sign.

"I'll go find it. You guys try to delay for a while. When the time comes, retreat automatically. You don't have to wait for us." Jiang Chengzhong waved his hand and made the decision directly.

Although he had never met Xing Xiaoya, he knew how powerful she was. If he brought people with him, these secret guards would not be able to resist and cause a big commotion, which would ruin the matter. So he had to go alone.

"Princess Zhaoyang is the daughter of the eldest princess. Logically, she can only be named a county princess, but the eldest princess has power and Zhaoyang is very favored, so she is named a princess like the prince's daughter. The powerful children in the capital dare not provoke her. If you make friends with her, your future will be smooth."

Jiang Chengxiao was talking eloquently, carefully analyzing the pros and cons.

Xing Xiaoya's eyes lit up when she heard this. She was a time traveler and had always thought highly of herself, but when she traveled through time, she found herself in a poor and backward village, where she suffered hardships all day long and was almost sold by her step-parents to a lame old man as a wife.

Therefore, she had a strong ambition to climb up the ladder. When she rescued the extremely handsome Dazhuang brother, she was so eager to do so, as if she was grasping at a life-saving straw.

Sure enough, her vision was correct. She followed him to Wangjing, but Dazhuang was injured and lost his memory. The jade pendant proving his identity was also lost. He could only live in a small house on Wutong Street every day, which was far from her expectations.

Now when she heard Jiang Chengxiao mention Princess Zhaoyang, her heart became hot again.

"It's just that Princess Zhaoyang has been spoiled for a long time, and she has a strange temper and is hard to please. If you make her unhappy, it will be difficult to get rid of her." Jiang Chengxiao changed the subject.

"Brother Jiang, do you know what the princess likes?"

Xing Xiaoya did not take his warning to heart, because she and Zhaoyang hit it off from the moment they met, and she could clearly feel Zhaoyang's closeness to her. Their relationship would only get better and better. How could she possibly make the princess unhappy?

"The princess—"

He was about to say something when he suddenly felt a dull pain in his back.

“Hmm——” He frowned and snorted.

"What's wrong?" Xing Xiaoya asked immediately.

"It's nothing. This is the Princess's Mansion. I can't stay here for long. I'm glad to see that you are safe and sound. I have to go." Jiang Chengxiao waved his hand and pretended to leave.

"Wait, Second Brother Jiang, you haven't told me the princess's preferences yet?" Xing Xiaoya asked.

"The princess is a woman, and I, a grown man, have no way of knowing. You should know after spending more time with her. You are under her roof, so be careful!" Jiang Chengxiao clasped his fists and disappeared into the darkness.

Soon, the two brothers reunited.

Jiang Chengzhong didn't say anything, he just led the way and left, with Jiang Chengxiao following closely behind.

Jiang Chengzhong didn't speak until they left the jurisdiction of the Princess's Mansion: "Second Brother Jiang? She calls you so affectionately, aren't you afraid of anything happening?"

He had just seen his second brother and Xing Xiaoya being very close to each other, and was afraid that Jiang Chengxiao had fallen into her charm, so he quietly approached, ready to knock him out at any time and take him away.

He didn't expect to hear such an intimate name, which made him feel uneasy. Fortunately, Jiang Chengxiao had not yet been completely immersed in it. After being attacked from the back, he followed over without wasting time.
