"How long have I slept? Where are we?"

Hua Xin propped herself up and found that the touch of her hands was very good. She then realized that she was covered with a brocade quilt embroidered with peach blossoms. Looking further into the distance, she saw wisps of smoke wafting out of a bird-shaped copper stove burning incense. Behind the beaded curtain was a screen with flowers, birds, insects and fish, and the screen had a gold border!

"We are already in the Jinbei Marquis Mansion. The Jinbei Marquis Mansion is in Jinbei Taoyuan City. This is our residence, called Taohuayuan."

Nangong Ziqiu told Hua Xin everything he knew. After Hua Xin stood up, she realized that her residence was really big!

"Where is your room?"

Nangong Ziqiu approached Hua Xin and said softly, "Do I still need a room? Of course I'll sleep with you tonight."

Hua Xin felt the breath so close to her, and her face turned red for no apparent reason.

"Why are you teasing me for no reason?" Hua Xin punched Nangong Ziqiu on the shoulder. The latter rarely saw the little girl blushing, and said with a smile, "Taohua Garden is very big. My room is next to yours, and there is an archway and wall in between. For your reputation, I will not do anything rash, don't you think so, sister?"

"Then I would like to thank my good brother first."

Hua Xin got off the bed, and the two chatted and laughed for a while before going to the outer room.

Hua Xin walked to the door and saw a maid in a green dress with white edges. She was surprised to see Hua Xin, then bowed and said, "I am Baizhu, your servant, to greet Miss Dou. It's time for dinner. Would you like to order the food?"

While Bai Zhu was speaking, Nangong Ziqiu also stood beside Hua Xin.

"That's great, serve the food!"

Hua Xin saw Bai Zhu's eyes glancing at her side from time to time, and she knew that she was attracted by Nangong Ziqiu's beauty. After seeing her leave, she took her hand and went back into the house.

"Look at you, you're such a magnet for attention. I wish I could hide you."

"Oh? Xinxin, have you forgotten what you look like? I remember how Xie Yunxiao felt when he first saw you. There was more than just joy in his eyes. He almost wanted to drag you back and hide you."

"Are you jealous?"

It was rare for Hua Xin to see an unusual expression on Nangong Ziqiu's face. After all, he always wore a mask of faint smile. His charming look made it seem that everyone could catch his eyes, but in fact, no one caught his eyes.

"Yes, when I think about the fact that Xinxin stayed here for me, I feel even more heartbroken. I can only hate myself for being poisoned! Tell me, am I a burden to you?"

Nangong Ziqiu held Hua Xin's hand, which was small, soft and unique.

"You're talking nonsense again. This trip was originally for you. It's only natural for us to go anywhere. Eh? Where's Prince Xie?"

As soon as Hua Xin asked, she thought of the seriously ill father that Xie Yunxiao mentioned. At this time, he should be in the courtyard of Jinbei Hou.

Jinbei Hou lived in the front yard, and Xie Yunxiao was with him at this time, but everything was different from what he expected.

An hour ago.

Accompanied by Zhang Mingfeng, Xie Yunxiao hurried to the front yard. When he stood at the door, he was a little nervous.

The last time he saw his father was five years ago. Although they often exchanged letters, he was still a little nervous after not seeing him for five years.

"Xiao'er? Is it Xiao'er?" A gentle female voice sounded in surprise, and then a beautiful young woman came out with tears in her eyes.

"mother!"

At one glance, Xie Yunxiao's eyes were filled with tears. This was his mother Hu Xueke, whom he had not seen for five years.

Hu Xueke gave Zhang Mingfeng a look, then grabbed Xie Yunxiao's hand and dragged him into the room. Before Xie Yunxiao could catch his breath, the door was closed with a "click". Hu Xueke did not forget to lock the door with a bolt.

The tears that were about to burst out of Xie Yunxiao's eyes suddenly stopped. Not only did they stop, but his eyes were also filled with surprise.

What is his mother going to do?

"Cough cough" a burst of coughing drew Xie Yunxiao's attention to the inner room. This sound... Xie Yunxiao strode in.

"Xiao'er!" Hu Xueke was about to say something, but her son had disappeared.

Xie Yunxiao thought he saw his father lying on the sickbed, but he didn't know that he was eating heartily in front of the bed. The cough just now was because he ate too much meat and choked, and then he drank some wine and choked again, causing his cheeks to be red at this moment, and he looked so good!

"Dad, are you...healed?"

Xie Huai, who was sitting on the bed, finally finished the meat in his mouth, and did not forget to suck the soup on his fingers. He coughed lightly, pointed to the small round stool beside him and said, "Come on, sit down and talk. Our family of three hasn't eaten together for a long time. Let's talk while we eat!"

Hu Xueke, who followed closely, hurriedly placed another set of bowls and chopsticks in front of Xie Yunxiao: "Yes, Xiao'er, let's eat and talk at the same time. Look, these are all your favorites. Your father only ate a duck leg."

Xie Yunxiao was totally confused, but he also felt hungry. Well, he decided to satisfy his stomach first. Nini had said that he had to have three regular meals and couldn't go hungry.

Xie Huai and Hu Xueke looked at each other and found that their son was really eating seriously, and they were inexplicably relieved.

Just know how to eat, and we will take care of the rest later.

Xie Yunxiao ate half full and drank a bowl of soup before he slowly asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"King, if I hadn't pretended to be sick, how could you have come back?" Xie Huai thought about it and decided that as family members, he shouldn't have different opinions. Since his son had returned safely, he naturally had to tell the truth.

"Pretending?"

Xie Yunxiao never expected the truth to be like this.

"Well, I was pretending. But I did catch a cold a few days ago. I'm better now. Look, I can eat and drink." Xie Huai smiled. Finally, the family was reunited!

Xie Yunxiao couldn't laugh anymore, because it cost him a lot of money to come back.

Xie Huai thought Xie Yunxiao was angry about being deceived, so he wanted to comfort him: "Don't be angry! Coming back is better than anything else. What's so good about the imperial city? Here we are far away from the emperor, and everything I have is yours, right?"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

This time it was Xie Yunxiao's turn to cough. Jinbei Hou was a military general, and the slap was quite heavy.

If it was the Xie Yunxiao of the past, there would naturally be no problem at all, but now Xie Yunxiao's martial arts were completely wasted, like a useless person, and he could not withstand Xie Huai's blow at all.

"Xiao'er?"

Xie Huai soon discovered that something was wrong with Xie Yunxiao. He didn't use any strength, so how could he fall to the ground?

"Ahem, it's okay. I'm fine."

Xie Huai grabbed his wrist, he was weak and powerless, all his internal strength was gone, this was not okay, this was a serious problem!

"Who? Who destroyed your martial arts?"
