Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

"You mean the iron flowers? But they won't rise in the air, right?"

Leng Youran suddenly realized, yes, there are no fireworks here.

However, she had seen the art of making iron flowers.

"Well, fireworks are similar to iron flowers, but they have more colors. Wait, I'll show you during the Chinese New Year."

"Okay, then it's settled."

Li Tianze was very happy. He didn't expect that he would get such a benefit while chatting tonight.

She just said that they were going to spend the New Year together!

Wouldn't this way they could spend more time together?

Leng Youran thought for a moment and said, "By the way, your house will be arranged near my mother's house, and the houses are connected. But now your mother, your two younger siblings, your sister, and my mother all live together, so you can just move out when you go back."

Li Tianze actually knew her plan a long time ago, but now that he heard her say it herself, he still agreed, "Yeah, this is good. Otherwise, I would be worried if they were alone outside."

"Don't worry, they never go out, every day..."

As Leng Youran chatted, she told Hua Qinrou and the others everything they did while living together.

It was almost midnight, but the two of them didn't feel sleepy at all.

"Tomorrow An Liu is going to Zhoucheng. You want to go with him, right?"

Leng Youran: "Well, I'm a little worried. Although the presence of the bodies of those from the Fang family might cause a drastic change in someone's temperament, I'm still worried that someone in Zhouchen who is familiar with Lord Fang might notice something's wrong."

Li Tianze: "You are right. Lord Fang and Lord Li have been in the Imperial City for a long time. I guess everyone around Zhao Mingyao knows them. An Liu might not be troubled if he goes there, but there is no guarantee that others will not notice anything unusual."

"Yeah, I thought so too. Not only An Liu but also An Qi. Lian Cheng will be here soon. I'll also go check on An Qi when the time comes."

Li Tianze: "Let me accompany you!"

"Okay, in that case, let Grandfather and the others go first, and have An Qi wait for us in the next city. As for the two of us, we can catch up after we finish here."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." For some reason, Li Tianze suddenly said this.

Leng Youran glanced sideways with a playful expression upon hearing him say this, and jokingly asked, "Is Prince Li so obedient?"

Li Tianze met her gaze, but was defeated in a moment. He turned his head away, not daring to look her in the eye, and mumbled, "Look at me."

"Huh? What did you say?" The voice was too soft and Leng Youran couldn't hear it clearly.

However, after careful consideration, she roughly guessed what he said, but she just wanted to ask further questions.

Who made him...

She remembered what someone did to her that night when he thought she was asleep.

Although she doesn't have much feeling for him now, she doesn't dislike him either.

"No, I didn't say anything." Li Tianze was too embarrassed to repeat what he had just said, so he mumbled it vaguely.

"Hehe, okay, let's rest early!" Leng Youran said this and stood up and walked towards the tent without looking back.

She didn't really want him to say it again, she just liked to see him get frustrated.

From Tianze...

Well, she is still so decisive and leaves as soon as she says she will.

His eyes followed her back until the pretty figure disappeared, and then his expression changed.

Although the girl didn't show anything wrong on her face, he could sense that she was not in a good mood.

She didn't take the initiative to talk about those things, and he wouldn't take the initiative to open her scars.

He just wanted to be with her when she was most vulnerable.

Li Tianze was suddenly shocked by his own thoughts.

Stay with her?

Did she become so important to him without him realizing it?

His eyes fell on Leng Youran's tent again, and he was lost in thought for a moment.

"Why aren't you sleeping yet? You don't have to worry as we have our brothers and those wolves guarding the night!" Zhuang Chenxu's voice sounded from behind Li Tianze.

Li Tianze turned around and met his gaze, "If you're not sleepy, come out for a walk."

"It's better to drink less so late at night!" Zhuang Chenxu pointed to the empty wine jar in his hand.

"A couple of drinks, if you're interested in a drink."

"Okay!" Zhuang Chenxu sat down on the sled next to him without hesitation.

Li Tianze took a jug of wine from the sled that Leng Youran had just been sitting on and handed it to him. Then he said, "Why haven't you slept yet?"

"I can't sleep just like you! So many things have happened in the past few months, it feels like a dream. Tomorrow, You Ran's people are going to Zhoucheng again, and I'm worried that something might go wrong."

Li Tianze felt his heart tighten when he heard Zhuang Chenxu calling Youran.

When did Zhuang Chenxu become so familiar with that girl without his knowledge?

Thinking this in my heart, I asked casually, "Are you familiar with the girl?"

"Girl?" Zhuang Chenxu was a little confused when he heard these two words. When he finally understood, he said, "You mean Youran?"

Li Tianze took a sip of wine to suppress the jealousy that unconsciously rose in his heart and nodded.

"When we parted last time, I told her..."

When Li Tianze found out that it was Leng Youran who asked him to call him that, he became even more upset.

The jealousy that had been suppressed with great difficulty surged up again, and even the words he said were not as eloquent as usual. He said sourly: "Yes, the girl is so considerate."

Zhuang Chenxu didn't know if he really didn't notice the jealousy in his tone, or if he was pretending not to hear it, and said in a slightly doting tone, "Yes, Youran is really good, different from any woman I've met before. If it weren't for her, my mother might not be here anymore."

Li Tianze really didn't want to hear the word "leisurely" from Zhuang Chenxu again, so he changed the subject and said, "Girl, you must have been in a hurry to take your mother away. Aren't you worried that Zhao Mingyao might find something wrong?"

Zhuang Chenxu chuckled, "You really don't understand Youran. If she did it, she must have made a plan for the aftermath. The last time we traveled together, she made a special trip back to the capital. Now my mother is a 'dead person' in the capital. I believe Zhao Mingyao won't discover Youran's abilities."

Li Tianze's back teeth were about to break. He now felt that Zhuang Chenxu must have done it on purpose. He clearly wanted to shift the topic to Zhao Mingyao, but he didn't expect that he would be pulled back to Zhao Mingyao in just a few words.

He continued to ask, "Don't you regret it? If you can just send us to the north, Zhao Mingyao will definitely use you when you return. If you really give up everything in the capital, it will be difficult for you to return."
