Tan Xinyue has been learning martial arts from her brother since she was young. She has a strong and agile figure. With just a few steps, she easily left Emperor Xuan behind and disappeared in the crowded crowd.

Seeing that she was like a fish in water, Emperor Xuan was not willing to give up. He tiptoed and jumped onto the eaves of the street lightly like a swallow skimming the water.

One person is shuttling through the market full of dancing lights and shadows, while the other is running and chasing in the hazy moonlit night sky, forming a unique landscape painting.

Soon, Emperor Xuan caught up with Tan Xinyue with his extraordinary skills. He deliberately slowed down his pace, secretly thinking in his heart that he wanted to see which family this bold and plain-looking girl was from to have such means.

Tan Xinyue felt that the dandy young man's gaze was no longer on her, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She looked down at the gold and silver in her hands, the smile on her lips still warm and firm.

In fact, she had plenty of money to begin with, and what she did today was more to teach that man a lesson and curb his arrogance.

For her, the money has limited uses after all, so it would be better to use it to help others and make it more valuable.

So she slowly walked up to a white-haired beggar huddled on the side of the road, and without hesitation poured the change in her hand into the tattered bowl, her movements revealing calmness and compassion.

This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Emperor Xuan who was not far away, and he was extremely surprised.

This girl actually gave away all the money she got from him? This was very different from her previous greedy image. Could it be that she suddenly showed kindness?

Tan Xinyue did not stop her good deeds and continued to move forward. Whenever she met a beggar, she would give them some gold and silver.

It happened to be the Lantern Festival and the court was tolerant and did not expel these wanderers, so her journey became a charitable road sprinkled with silver light.

As men and women holding lanterns gradually gathered, people in the crowd bumped into her accidentally from time to time, but Tan Xinyue ignored it and didn't care at all, with a kind of detached indifference.

Emperor Xuan, who was standing by, felt mixed emotions when he saw this, and finally decided to walk closer to her, using his broad body to block the crowd around her and become her solid support behind her.

Tan Xinyue suddenly looked up, her eyes full of surprise: "Why are you here?"

she asked, a hint of confusion in her voice.

Emperor Xuan held a folding fan in his hand, his arms slightly outstretched, a half-smile on his lips: "You can fly over eaves and walls with Qinggong, why can't I learn a few self-defense techniques?"

He spoke jokingly, but there was a hint of seriousness in his eyes.

Tan Xinyue frowned slightly, then looked towards the eaves of the neighboring shops, and realized that he had seen through her whereabouts.

Emperor Xuan raised his eyelids and noticed the silver coins left on the ground. He half-jokingly said, "Why, you're using my money to do good deeds? Are you trying to accumulate some merit?"

There was curiosity and a hint of subtle admiration in his words.

Tan Xinyue came back to her senses and looked at him firmly: "Since the money has been given to me, it is my freedom to decide how to deal with it."

Emperor Xuan opened his folding fan with a snap and shook it gently, with an inquiring look on his face: "Then why don't you tell me, which family are you from?"

There was a majesty in his tone that could not be denied.

How could Tan Xinyue dare to reveal her true identity easily, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, and even more so, she did not want to be punished by her parents for it.

I finally got this opportunity to leave the house. If any more complications arise, I'm afraid I'll have to stay at home from now on.

She gritted her teeth secretly, rolled her eyes, pretended to glance at the crowded crowd on the left, and then pointed her finger forward casually: "There, do you see it? That big house with bright lights is my home."

Emperor Xuan looked in the direction of her finger, and saw only rows of brightly lit shops, with no trace of a mansion. He could not help but frown, full of suspicion.

Before he could open his mouth to ask again, the girl disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Girl! Girl!"

Emperor Xuan called out several times. The people around him were wearing all kinds of masks, and the laughter and conversation mixed together, making it impossible to tell which one was her.

I searched everywhere, but there was no trace of Tan Xinyue.

He reluctantly squeezed out of the crowd, quickened his pace, and tried to catch up.

Tan Xinyue waited until he was far away before quietly poking her head out from under the table at the side stall. She wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead, stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "It was a close call. I was almost discovered..."

Seeing this, the stall owner smiled kindly and took the opportunity to sell: "Girl, do you want to see this jade bracelet? It is authentic Hetian jade, of high quality."

Upon hearing this, Tan Xinyue looked up and saw that the jade bracelet had a warm color and was quite attractive, so she simply bought it as a small thank you to the stall owner for silently agreeing with her avoidance behavior.

Wearing the jade bracelet, she stepped into the hustle and bustle of Lanshi Street again, and every step she took seemed more relaxed and comfortable.

But after walking a few steps, I heard a childish voice calling from behind: "Sister, sister."

Tan Xinyue looked back and saw a little girl standing there. Her two pigtails were bouncing lively, her cheeks were rosy, and she looked very pretty and lovely even without any embellishment.

"Little sister, is there anything I can help you with?"

Tan Xinyue asked gently, her eyes full of concern.

At the same time, in the other corner, Yun Yi was furious and was about to go up to the mysterious woman to argue, but was stopped by Si Qi beside him: "We are all wearing masks today, so it's better not to let people recognize us easily."

Shopkeeper Liu has been managing the Su family's jewelry store on Lanshi Street for four years. The Su family has at least five stores like this, but the business here is becoming increasingly deserted.

Lanshi Street is the most prosperous area in the city. Other shops are packed with people. In comparison, the deserted place here is particularly eye-catching.

In recent years, with the departure of Su Wanyu, the mistress of the Su family, the family's internal accounts began to become chaotic.

Butler Fang was overwhelmed with many affairs due to the successive changes in his family. In addition, the business performance of the jewelry store was just a drop in the bucket for the huge Su family. Gradually, this inconspicuous little shop became the most easily overlooked corner and gradually became quiet.

Until Su Wanyu returned home in dignity, she began to check all the family's account books one by one and in detail with an awe-inspiring attitude.

Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle's. She vowed to root out all those tiny termites that were eating away at the family's foundation. No matter how cunning and hidden they were, they would never escape the punishment of the law.

In her opinion, the silent movement of a termite is often a precursor to the surge of a large number of termites. If it is not immediately nipped in the bud, it may become a huge wave in the future and swallow up the family's century-old foundation.

Yun Yi smiled indifferently and nodded, but the dissatisfaction in his heart did not diminish with this subtle action.

Her voice was gentle, but every word was sonorous, and she pointed directly at the shopkeeper with a face full of flesh: "Shopkeeper, you stand guard in this jeweled shop day after day, and the cost of a roast goose should not be a problem for you. Why would you fight with an unarmed child just because of greed?"
