Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

Led by the monk, Tao Jiuxi slowly walked towards the Buddhist temple where Tao Qingwan was.

Finally they arrived outside the Buddhist temple, but Tao Jiuxi just stuck his head out to look and did not go in immediately.

She looked through the doors and windows of the Buddhist temple, anxiously searching for her sister.

Soon, she saw Tao Qingwan in the Buddhist temple. Tao Qingwan was concentrating on copying something with her head down.

Next to Tao Qingwan, there was a woman in luxurious clothes kneeling. From her clothes and temperament, Tao Jiuxi guessed that this was the eldest princess.

The eldest princess was accompanied by four maids, who stood quietly by with respectful expressions.

"Why don't you go in?" Shen Zhiyi asked softly, his voice sounded particularly clear in the quiet atmosphere.

Tao Jiuxi shook his head slightly and said softly, "They are busy, let's wait outside."

Her eyes never left Tao Qingwan, and she only wanted to make sure Tao Qingwan was safe.

If the worship of Buddha is over, she can take her sister back; if it is not over, she must find an opportunity to tell Tao Qingwan the true face of the Xie family so that her sister will be on guard.

After standing there for a moment, the maid beside the eldest princess came over.

The maid walked lightly to them, bowed slightly, and said, "Duke, the eldest princess invites you over."

Tao Jiuxi was very surprised when he saw this and asked, "Are you also familiar with the eldest princess?"

"You'll know when you come and see him." Shen Zhiyi said, taking Tao Jiuxi's hand and walking towards the Buddhist temple.

The two walked into the Buddhist temple. Tao Qingwan first saw that the person coming was her sister. A hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and then a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth and she nodded slightly.

After the two of them went in, the eldest princess slowly stood up with the help of her maid.

"Meet the eldest princess."

"See the eldest princess."

Shen Zhiyi and Tao Jiuxi saluted at the same time, their voices respectful.

"Get up."

Tao Jiuxi stood up and only then did he get a clear look at the eldest princess's appearance for the first time.

She had a kind face and was about thirty years old. She was dressed in gorgeous clothes with exquisite embroidery, which showed her noble status. The eldest princess exuded a graceful and elegant temperament that made people feel awe.

When the princess saw Tao Jiuxi, a hint of doubt flashed across her face. She tilted her head slightly to look at Shen Zhiyi and asked, "Yier, who is this?"

The eldest princess called Shen Zhiyi affectionately, and Tao Jiuxi realized then that he was very familiar with the eldest princess.

Now she felt relieved. Since the eldest princess was familiar with Shen Zhiyi, if she arranged a marriage for her sister, she would not marry her to a bad person.

"Tao Hongyuan's daughter, Tao Jiuxi." Shen Zhiyi replied.

Upon hearing this, Tao Jiuxi stepped forward and bowed again with proper manners.

"This girl is also very smart, and she is a beauty just like her sister." The eldest princess looked at Tao Jiuxi with admiration in her eyes.

Then he turned to Shen Zhiyi and said, "Why, I just brought your sweetheart out to spend a few days with me, and now you can't wait to come find her?"

Shen Zhiyi, Tao Jiuxi and Tao Qingwan all showed surprised expressions when they heard the eldest princess' words.

Seeing the reactions of the three people, the princess couldn't help but wonder, "What's wrong? Didn't you beg me to hold the polo match so you could meet Miss Tao?"

At the polo match that day, the eldest princess saw the two sisters from afar.

I just thought Tao Qingwan had a beautiful face and a gentle temperament, which was absolutely stunning. Judging from her behavior, I felt that she was a lady from a wealthy family, so I thought she must be very talented.

So the eldest princess sent someone to invite Tao Qingwan directly.

After spending that day together, the eldest princess felt that this woman was really good and was a perfect match for Shen Zhiyi.

"It's her." Shen Zhiyi did not hide it and directly signaled Tao Jiuxi with his eyes.

"Ah? I misunderstood. Both sisters are wonderful people, but I was dazzled." The eldest princess looked at Tao Jiuxi carefully. Although this woman looked outstanding, her temperament was completely different from her sister's graceful temperament. Instead, she was more lively.

When she realized what was happening, the eldest princess' smile deepened.

Shen Zhiyi said, "Princess, Jiuxi is here to look for her sister today. If there is nothing important, let the sisters talk first."

"Qingwan, you go now. When Yi'er comes, you can copy Buddhist scriptures for me."

The eldest princess affectionately took Shen Zhiyi to the desk to copy scriptures.

Tao Jiuxi and Tao Qingwan also left the Buddhist temple and looked for a secluded place.

"Jiuxi, I didn't know what the eldest princess meant. She just told my aunt to let me accompany her. If I knew what the eldest princess meant, I would definitely explain it clearly." Tao Qingwan immediately pulled Tao Jiuxi to explain.

"Sister, you don't have to explain. How can I not trust you? I just came here today to tell you something."

Tao Jiuxi couldn't wait to tell Tao Qingwan everything that happened in Xie's mansion.

That was also the first time Tao Jiuxi saw Tao Qingwan so angry.

Tao Qingwan's eyes were burning with anger, as if she wanted to eat the people of the Xie family alive.

She hugged Tao Jiuxi tightly and cried for a long time, hating herself for being useless.

"Don't cry, sister. It's all over."

"It's my fault for not judging people well that I put you in danger. I only pray every day. I'm really useless."

"How can I blame you? They are just too good at disguising themselves. Anyway, they have already come out. We can slowly settle the score with them later." Tao Jiuxi held Tao Qingwan's hand tightly and comforted her in a gentle voice.

"Sister, we still need to wait for father to come back before making any plans. For now, we can only return to Shen Zhiyi's residence."

Although Tao Qingwan was angry, she had no choice but to nod in agreement.

"Are you and Duke Shen still..."

"It's okay, let's not talk about it for now. They will be waiting anxiously later."

After the two finished their conversation, they wiped away their tears and returned to the Buddhist temple where the eldest princess was.

When Shen Zhiyi saw Tao Jiuxi coming back, he immediately put down the pen in his hand.

"Why are you so anxious, you rascal?" the eldest princess joked, but her tone was not blaming.

"The princess has been out for a few days. It's cold in the mountains at night, so she should go back home early." Shen Zhiyi said respectfully.

"I've been out for a long time, so I'll go back today."

Tao Jiuxi was very happy to hear this, as he could be with his sister again.

Just as she was feeling happy, she heard the eldest princess say, "Qingwan, I misunderstood you earlier, but I've really been in love with you these days. Why don't you stay at my house for a few days?"

Tao Qingwan looked at Tao Jiuxi deeply. Although she also wanted to be with her sister, she thought about the affairs of the Xie Mansion and felt that being closer to the eldest princess might make their lives in Beijing more stable.

"Yes, Qingwan has nothing to do, so I'll bother the princess."

The two sisters said goodbye briefly, and in the end, only Shen Zhiyi and Tao Jiuxi came back on the carriage.

But when going up and down the mountain, Tao Jiuxi was watched wherever he went. Who would come to worship Buddha with ten carriages?

This scene is really eye-catching.

On the way back to the city.

"The eldest princess asked me to take you to her princess residence in a while."

"Are you familiar with the eldest princess?" Tao Jiuxi asked.

"The eldest princess and my mother have known each other since childhood. When I was young, I often went to the eldest princess's mansion. The eldest princess had no children, so she treated me as her own son." Shen Zhiyi said.

"Then when will your mother come back?" Tao Jiuxi continued to ask.

"She should have come back this month, but she sent a letter saying she wouldn't be back for the time being. I plan to go to Jiangnan to look for her after some time." A hint of longing flashed in Shen Zhiyi's eyes.

"Well. Oops, I almost forgot one thing!" Tao Jiuxi suddenly exclaimed.

"What's the matter?"

"The reason I was able to get out was because of the help of Xie Yushu from the Xie family. I promised to take her and her mother out of the house. If they want to go to Jiangnan later, you can also help me send her there."

"Then how do you plan to pick them up?" Shen Zhiyi asked.

"Of course, I'll use your power."
