After leaving the restaurant, Yan Ci pushed Xie Chengyin away.

The sidelong look in his eyes seemed to be accusing me, I went to help you, but you just watched me get bullied!

Xie Chengyin touched his chin speechlessly. When he opened his mouth to explain, he saw Yan Ci's maid Chunzhi approaching him.

Chunzhi looked at the two people walking down from the restaurant and kept her mouth shut, which was unusual for her.

She was about to follow in, but was stopped by Qicun, so she could only wait outside and had no idea what was happening inside.

Watching the two of them walking down hand in hand, Chunzhi became even more convinced that her Thirteenth Young Lady had fallen in love with Young Marquis Xie.

Yan Ci walked forward quietly, and Xie Chengyin followed quietly behind him. Behind them were Chunzhi and Qicun.

"Why help me?"

Xie Chengyin couldn't help but ask, he couldn't figure it out.

He was full of curiosity about Yan Ci, and thought that he would slowly explore and eventually figure it out. But today she suddenly appeared and helped him, and he thought, maybe he could just ask her directly.

Yan Ci slowed down her pace. What could she say since she couldn't stand Shen Zhaoyan.

But Yan Ci and Shen Zhaoyan had never had any contact with each other, so how could she explain this?

"Do I need a reason for this? Just think of it as me being chivalrous and righteous!"

A crisp and clear voice rang in his ears, and Xie Chengyin's lips slowly curled up into a smile. She was indeed a very straightforward girl.

"Lady, from now on, you are my friend, Xie Chengyin! From now on in Dongdu, I, Xie Xiaohou, will protect you!"

Yan Ci curled his lips, "There's no need to be friends, just consider it as you owe me a favor."

"Hey, how come you don't understand how many favors my friend Xie Xiaohou can get?"

The voices of the two gradually disappeared in the busy street.

Chunzhi followed behind closely, listening to their conversation, grinning and eating bites of preserved fruit. Mmm, delicious!

After returning to the Yan Mansion, Yan Ci threatened Chunzhi forcefully that she must not tell Jiang Qingqing about what happened today with Xie Chengyin.

Chunzhi nodded like a bird pecking at food, and raised four fingers to promise that she would not complain. Only then did Yan Ci let her go.

Chunzhi sat on the doorstep, wrapped the remaining candied fruits tightly and stuffed them into her arms. This was the girl's reward for not telling the truth. She would bring it to Chuntao when she saw her so that she could have a taste.

She promised not to tell the lady, but she didn't say not to tell her sister Chuntao.

If Chuntao knew about it, wouldn't it be the same as if the lady knew about it? Then it wouldn't be considered as hiding it.

Hehe, she is such a clever little girl.

When Xie Chengyin returned to the Marquis' Mansion, he was greeted by the red tasseled spear of his beloved brother, Xie Chengyi, Marquis of Yongding.

The two brothers look very similar, but because of the five-year age difference, Xie Chengyi looks much more mature than Xie Chengyin.

Xie Chengyi has inherited the title of Marquis for seven years. His father died of illness not long after his mother, Princess Jinnan, passed away, leaving only him and his younger brother. At the age of eighteen, he had to shoulder the burden of the Marquis's mansion.

After working diligently for many years, he is already 25 years old and has not yet married.

Her heart was completely devoted to the Marquis's Mansion and her younger brother.

Xie Chengyi stood at the door with a tense face, wearing a dark long robe with armor on the cuffs, dressed like a military general. He looked at Xie Chengyin who came in swaggeringly, and the red tasseled spear in his hand flew away.

Xie Chengyin was no longer surprised by this, so he dodged to the side. The sharp tip of the red tassel spear flew past Xie Chengyin's cheek, and he turned around and caught it in his hand.

Seeing this, Qicun, who was following Xie Chengyin, stepped aside, found a small stool and sat down to watch.

Xie Chengyi turned around and picked up another red tasseled spear, and once again pointed it at Xie Chengyin's face. Xie Chengyin blocked it with the spear, then turned his back to retreat and advance, turning attack into defense.

The two brothers exchanged more than ten moves, testing each other's martial arts enthusiastically.

It is said that the two brothers of the Yongding Marquis' Mansion are both talented in literature and martial arts, while the other is neither good at literature nor martial arts. If they saw this scene, they would not say such things.

Have you ever seen a person who is not very good at martial arts fight against someone with extraordinary martial arts skills?

Xie Chengyi put Xie Chengyin under pressure and asked.

"Where did you go crazy today?"

Xie Chengyin chuckled, and with a little force he pushed his brother away. While catching his breath he pushed Xie Chengyi down again.

"I went to see a girl!"

Xie Chengyi's eyes lit up, and just as he was about to ask further questions, Xie Chengyin's red tassel spear appeared before him. He could only concentrate on dealing with Xie Chengyin's moves.

Finally he got the upper hand and asked impatiently, "What girl? Is she pretty?"

Xie Chengyin grinned and said without hesitation: "It looks good!"

Xie Chengyi also laughed, "Yo yo yo, could this be the girl that A Yin likes?"

The red tasseled spear in Xie Chengyin's hand hesitated for a moment, but was already pressed down by Xie Chengyi, with the tip of the spear pointing directly at his neck.

The competition between the two brothers ended with Xie Chengyin's defeat.

Xie Chengyin didn't care. It was common for him to lose to his brother. He threw the red tassel spear to Sanchi who was waiting on the side, put his arm around his brother's shoulder and walked towards the mansion.

Xie Chengyi had no intention of letting him go, and continued to ask about the previous topic.

"You haven't answered me yet, is this the girl you like?"

Xie Chengyin's expression remained normal. "I can't say I like her, but I'm just quite curious."

Xie Chengyi patted his brother's head and said, "She sounds like an interesting girl. When will you bring her back for me to see?"

"She won't come. If I ask her to come to our house, she will definitely stare at me and say that I am plotting something bad towards her!"

"Hahaha!" Xie Chengyi smiled and hugged his brother's shoulders and went into the house. He did not continue to delve into the girl his brother mentioned. After all, there was nothing yet to be learned about her.

Sanchi put down the two red tassel spears and glanced at Qicun who was sitting beside him. "Why are you still sitting here? Come inside and eat."

Qicun then stood up slowly and stretched, "Well, I also met a girl today!"

San Chi's face darkened, he raised his foot and kicked towards Qi Cun, but he didn't even touch the corner of Qi Cun's clothes, "Watch out for your butt if you talk like the Second Young Master again."

Qicun ran very fast, and did not forget to turn around and make a face at Sanchi. What he said was true, okay?

Sanchi and Qicun are also brothers, following the brothers Xie Chengyi and Xie Chengyin respectively.

After finishing his meal, Xie Chengyin returned to his room, closed the door, and the smile on his face disappeared completely.

The unruly demeanor he usually displayed was now completely gone, and his serious expression made him look more like Xie Chengyi.

He walked to the table and sat down, spread out a piece of paper on the table, dipped it in ink, and slowly wrote a few words on the paper.

November 5, the twenty-first year of Tianqing.

The day of his rebirth.

That’s right, Xie Chengyin was reborn, and the day he was reborn happened to be the day Princess Xiang died.

He was at the wedding banquet, looking at the blazing fire, and his heart was filled with uncontrollable fear.
