The foolish girl returns, and the regent becomes a wife-loving madman

Xie Lingxiao helped Shen Jingxuan onto the carriage, and after saying goodbye to Mr. Shen, Mrs. Shen and the other two, they finally set out on their journey to travel.

The carriage went all the way out of the city gate. Shen Jingxuan couldn't believe that after so many years, she could really leave the city again.

She looked at the things in the carriage and felt warmer in her heart.

Xie Lingxiao was very thoughtful. Although he only had one night, he prepared almost everything he could think of and use.

"Ah Xiao, thank you."

Since the two of them got together, Xie Lingxiao was the one who took the first step and was also the one who paid the most.

Xie Lingxiao raised his eyebrows, and suddenly his expression darkened.

"Xuan'er, I will take you out of the city today as agreed, but there are some things you have to do according to my instructions."

Shen Jingxuan's eyes flashed as she looked at him, and the corners of her pretty lips slightly raised.

Well, I have to make three rules with her.

"Okay, I'll listen to Axiao." Shen Jingxuan said with a smile.

As long as she can play freely, it is not impossible to let her follow Xie Lingxiao.

At least it can make him feel more at ease, so that he doesn't have to worry all the time.

After getting Shen Jingxuan's answer, Xie Lingxiao stuffed a soft pillow behind Shen Jingxuan's back and leaned against her.

"We are not in a hurry to travel. If you feel tired, you must tell me, don't force yourself to go on."

Shen Jingxuan nodded obediently, "Okay."

The two smiled at each other, full of anticipation for their future life.

They left in a hurry, and only people in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion knew how close they were to the two.

Xie Lingxiao left Ling Feng in Shangjing City, with only Ling Qiong and Ling Huan by his side.

What they didn't know was that the two had just left the city not long ago, and the news of their departure from Shangjing City spread like wildfire.

Upon learning that the two of them were going out for a trip, the great elder who was packing his belongings stood there in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.

Originally, he lived in the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion and stayed with Xie Boxu and Xie Jingle all day long.

When he learned that Xie Lingxiao had hired a tutor for the two little ones and they couldn't leave the palace for a short time, he thought of his dream of retirement.

He finally made up his mind to look for Shen Jingxuan, but he didn't expect that the heartless girl had left the city first.

Shen Jingxuan lived the life he had always dreamed of ahead of time.

The Great Elder stared at the bundle for a long time, then raised his hand and slammed it hard on the table.

That heartless girl, now that she is gone, the Third Elder and Li Luo have been taken to the palace. Who will be in charge of such a huge Scarlet Flame Temple?

The second elder on the side looked at him with a faint smile, letting him vent his anger, but he was very happy in his heart.

Xuan'er did a good job.

Originally, he did not agree with the Great Elder leaving.

After he left, he was the only one left in the Scarlet Flame Temple. How could he handle the workload?

Now that Xuan'er and Xie Lingxiao have left, the Great Elder cannot leave even if he wants to.

If Xie Boxu and Xie Jingle had not left the palace, he might have left in anger and ignored the Red Flame Temple.

But the two little guys had been out of the palace for so long, and the money that Shen Jingxuan gave to the elder every three months had already been squandered by him.

All the money is still in the hands of Xie Boxu and Xie Jingle.

Every time the Second Elder thought of this, he would laugh for a long time.

The Great Elder took great pains to obtain the money from Shen Jingxuan just to realize his dream of retirement in the future.

But in the end, not only did he return the silver, but even his decision to go on the trip, which he had finally made up his mind to do, was beaten to it by Shen Jingxuan.

Without silver, the Red Flame Temple will be left unattended, so let's see how he leaves.

The second elder smiled and said, "Brother, Xuan'er has already left the city. Do you want to go after her?"

How could he get the money if he didn't catch up with Shen Jingxuan?

The elder picked up the bag and threw it to the ground. "She is such a heartless girl. She left without saying a word. Wait until she comes back to see how I will deal with her."

He wanted to chase, but he had to catch up first.

"Pfft..." The second elder finally couldn't help laughing out loud and said something that made the first elder even more upset.

"Brother, I'm afraid Xuan'er is back and you can't do anything about her."

"I can't do anything to her? When she comes back, I will definitely ask for double the money, and I will never return to Shangjing City again."

The second elder said, "Xuan'er is pregnant, Xiao'er take her out to relax."

"When she returns to the city, I'm afraid Xiao'er won't let you off easily if you say anything loudly."

"Really?" The first elder glared at the second elder with red eyes.

He doesn't believe it.

Xie Lingxiao had said at the beginning that he would never let Shen Jingxuan get pregnant again, and he was also by Xie Lingxiao's side at that time.

It is impossible for him not to do what he said himself.

The second elder gently waved his folding fan and walked out with a smile, "Whether it is true or not, you will know everything when they return to the city."

It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t believe it. At least during this period of time, he will still have something to look forward to.

When the Great Elder saw the Second Elder leave with a smile, the anger in his heart did not subside.

What he didn't know was that there were two other people who were just as angry as he was.

The retired emperor and Xie Ziling were sitting in the imperial study, looking at each other like brothers in distress.

After a while, Xie Ziling pursed his lips and picked up the memorial again to review it.

In his heart, he secretly cursed Xie Lingxiao countless times.

That was the life he liked, and it was also what he missed the most now.

His good uncle trapped him in the palace, but he lived the life he wanted most with his aunt.

When Xie Ziling thought of this, his thoughts drifted away, and in his mind was the carefree and unrestrained life he had before he returned to the capital.

At that time, he could go wherever he wanted and be as free as he wanted.

But now...

Looking at the mountains of memorials piling up before me day after day, I felt indescribable pain in my heart.

Even with the help of the retired emperor and Xie Boxu and Xie Jingle following suit, it seemed like he would never finish reviewing all those memorials.

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard the crying of the retired emperor. Xie Ziling looked up abruptly, not knowing what to do for a moment.

The emperor's eyes were red and he was crying with tears and snot.

After just one glance, Xie Ziling felt that he was crying like a child who had been wronged.

From childhood to adulthood, he had never seen such a father.

"Father..."

Xie Ziling called him softly, and when he saw him looking at him, he persuaded him: "Father, the emperor's uncle..."

The Emperor said aggrievedly: "He did it on purpose. He was angry that I joined forces with the Queen Mother and passed the throne to him."

"Ling'er, Xie Lingxiao is not a good person. He deliberately took me back to the palace and left you in the palace. He planned all this in advance."

Not... a good thing?

Xie Ziling looked at the retired emperor in surprise, as if he had just heard something hallucinatory.

Such words came from the mouth of his father?

Xie Ziling sometimes even had some doubts. His father's temperament had changed so much now. Was he really still the same person?

"Ling'er, Xie Lingxiao is so mean. He went out to travel and left me in the palace."

Neither he nor the Concubine Tai had ever left the city alone, let alone gone sightseeing.
