He asked Lu Huaizhen who was leaning against a tree trunk, "Are these two addicted to acting? They previously planned a beautiful woman saving a bear, but what is this act they are acting now?"

"You are not allowed to spend money to buy tickets, just wait and see."

The "quarrel" between Bai Youyou and Zhao Qianqian became more and more intense, and Lu Huaizhen's sparkling eyes were full of confusion.

Why did she want to act out this drama with Zhao Qianqian in public?

Aren’t you afraid of being known for being arrogant and domineering?

"Snapped!"

Jiang Tingxiao's body trembled when he heard the loud slap. "This woman was just acting, but she was so ruthless!"

"Bai Youyou!!!"

Xiao Huaijin hurried over here when Bai Youyou took action, but he was still a step too slow.

Looking at the five small finger marks on Zhao Qianqian's fair face, which was red and swollen with some bruises, my heart suddenly tightened.

He stepped forward and hugged the staggering Lan Qianqian in his arms, glaring at Bai Youyou fiercely with scarlet eyes, "Bai Youyou, what did Qianqian do to you? You actually hit her!"

"Humph, she dares to like you, beating her is the least she can do!"

Bai Youyou crossed her arms over her chest, with her chin raised high, looking arrogant and domineering.

Zhao Qianqian, who was hiding in Xiao Huaijin's arms, heard the "beep beep" sound of the system and her eyes showed joy.

Move, move!

That little red heart finally moved!

She cried bitterly, choking with sobs, and said in a teasing voice: "Mr. Xiao, don't blame Miss Bai. She was just too angry when she heard that you and I were good friends, so she acted impulsively... Don't blame her, okay..."

"Who I make friends with is my business. Who is she to interfere?"

Xiao Huaijin lowered his head and saw her tearful eyes. He felt even more pity for her. "You have been bullied like this, and you are still making excuses for her. How can you be so stupid?"

"Miss Bai is not a bad person, she is just still young and ignorant."

Bai Youyou got goose bumps all over her body as she listened to her tea-like words.

Zhao Qianqian secretly winked at Bai Youyou, tugged at Xiao Huaijin's sleeve, and said softly, "Let's go back."

Xiao Huaijin said "OK" gently, and when he looked up again, he glared at Bai Youyou with disgust.

"I hope Miss Bai will not bully others in Xiao's name in the future. If you do that again, I will not let you off easily!"

"I'm so sincere to you, how can you treat me like this?"

Bai Youyou resisted the urge to roll her eyes, pretending to be heartbroken while covering her chest, and staggered, "Since you are so heartless, we will never see each other again!"

After she said that, she covered her face and ran away crying.

When they were out of sight, Bai Youyou stood up straight and clapped her hands.

You're done!

Qin Ran, who had watched the whole process, stared at her with stars in her eyes, "Miss Bai."

"Miss Qin, is there something wrong?"

Bai Youyou took three steps back vigilantly, keeping a safe distance from her.

"It's okay, it's just..."

Qin Ran said as she took a few steps forward eagerly.

Zhao Qianqian had helped him once before and paid him a reward, so Bai Youyou was willing to sacrifice her reputation to help her.

This person has nothing to do with her, and she won't do business at a loss.

"Miss Qin, I have something else to do today. Goodbye!"

When Bai Youyou turned around, she saw Jiang Tingxiao and Lu Huaizhen walking over.

Meeting Jiang Tingxiao's half-smiley eyes, she curled her lips speechlessly.

Didn't Zhao Qianqian say that there were not many people at Shennv Lake in winter? Why were Qin Ran and these two here again?

"Prince Xian, Prince Jiang."

Lu Huaizhen nodded at her, then covered his mouth and coughed a few times.

Jiang Tingxiao's lips curled up with sarcasm, "Miss Bai sang a great show. I'm afraid all the leading actresses in the Chengnan troupe will have to give way to you."

"Prince Jiang is a good storyteller. Why don't you go to the opera troupe in the south of the city and compose music for it?"

Bai Youyou glanced at him sideways and sneered back without showing any weakness.

Jiang Tingxiao was not annoyed, and smiled evilly: "Miss Jiang can sing opera, and I can compose music. How about we work together and start an opera troupe?"

"No, I can't sing the play you wrote."

Bai Youyou rolled her eyes at him in annoyance.

"Cough cough cough..."

Lu Huaizhen covered his mouth and coughed, interrupting the tit-for-tat between the two.

"Tingxiao, Miss Jiang is a girl, don't be so abrupt."

"Does she look girlish to you?"

Jiang Tingxiao sneered.

"Not to mention your bald head, I don't see any manliness or courage in you."

Bai Youyou retorted, and when she spoke to Lu Huaizhen, her attitude softened a lot, "Your Highness, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Jiang Tingxiao looked at Bai Youyou's departing back and said, "This girl, why does she have two different faces?"

"How old are you? You're still teasing a little girl."

Lu Huaizhen glanced at him sideways and walked towards the boat by the lake.

Jiang Tingxiao followed behind him, and couldn't help laughing when he thought of what Shopkeeper Lu had reported last night. "Do you know how she ended up covered in mud that day?"

Lu Huaizhen said in a faint voice: "You know?"

"Of course I know." Jiang Tingxiao smiled happily, "She fell while climbing over the wall in the backyard of my Treasure Hunting Building."

"I heard from Shopkeeper Lu that her third brother was going to rip her off, but the little girl used the excuse of going to the toilet and simply took a ladder and climbed over the wall and ran away. Her third brother had no money to pay the bill, so he went to our Betwin Casino and borrowed two thousand taels of usury."

Jiang Tingxiao laughed and said, "This girl is really a fortune-giving boy."

Lu Huaizhen didn't even glance at him, but the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

"We don't have enough goldsmiths in Zanhua Tower. Please send two more."

"it is good."

Jiang Tingxiao's eyes curved, "Earning money here is much happier than those people who risk their lives every day to fight for that position."

The two of them boarded the cruise ship that had been rented long ago. The servant lit the silver charcoal and placed the teapot that had been prepared early in the morning on the stove.

After dismissing the servants, Lu Huaizhen asked softly, "Have the grain and grass for the Duke of Zhenguo been delivered secretly?"

"As long as nothing happens to the caravan, the Duke of Zhenguo should be able to receive it in a few days."

Jiang Tingxiao grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate on the table, cracked one, and teased him with a smile, "I'm afraid Lu Liu himself doesn't even know that the piece of rice cake he casually threw away that day actually saved a purse for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."

"First there is kindness, then there is fruit." Lu Huaizhen laughed, "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be where I am today. I'm afraid the grass on my grave would be three feet tall."

Lu Huaizhen entered an uninhabited place, and his waist was no longer sore, his legs no longer hurt, and his throat no longer itched.

He picked up the teapot on the table that was bubbling with white hot steam, poured the tea into the white porcelain teacup, and pushed it in front of him.

Jiang Tingxiao put down the melon seeds in his hand, picked up the hot tea and took a sip, the faint tea fragrance diffused in his mouth.

He put down his teacup, put away his usual nonchalance, and looked at him seriously, "Even if there is a favor, your one-year favor is enough to make up for it. The Duke of Zhenguo is so powerful that he threatens the master. You know what that person is thinking. Do you really want to get involved in this mess?"
