The prince is very cruel

Night falls and the stars twinkle.

Zizhou City under the moonlight was not noisy at all. Instead, it was very ancient, beautiful and quiet. The city defense was tight and was not disrupted by Zhao Tai's group of uninvited guests.

Since he began his escape, Guan Ning has never felt so safe.

Sima Mansion is located in the center of the city. I don’t know if it’s because of Zhao Tai, but there are quite a lot of people here. There are hundreds of people in the open, not to mention those in secret. They are all elites.

It is not easy for Guan Ning to come and go as he pleases.

"Guan Ning, you should live in this courtyard. Usually no one comes here. You have a special status, so don't wander around."

"He is my old friend, just call him Mr. Yang. If you need anything, just tell him directly. He is trustworthy." Yuan Tao personally sent Guan Ning to a small courtyard and pointed to the old man beside him.

Guan Ning nodded: "Okay, thank you, Sima."

"I've been bothering Elder Yang these past few days."

Mr. Yang repeatedly said he dared not, with a kind face.

Yuan Tao nodded: "I still have military affairs to deal with, so I'll leave first."

"Okay." Guan Ning nodded and watched him leave.

"Sir, if you need anything, I will send someone to get it immediately. You came so suddenly that I haven't had time to clean the yard. I am really negligent. I will arrange for someone to clean it immediately." Old Yang said politely.

Guan Ning smiled and said, "Mr. Yang, no need to bother."

"It's good enough that we have a place to shelter from the wind and rain, and this yard is so beautiful, we can do it ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Yang was obviously a little surprised. It was rare to see such a simple young man.

"But this..."

"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I will call you if I need you." Guan Ning said with a smile.

"Well... okay." Old Yang smiled bitterly, then added, "By the way, Young Master, the master just said that you shouldn't wander around unless necessary, especially to the courtyard full of fire mulberry flowers. Try not to go near that area."

Guan Ning took a subconscious look and saw a large area of ​​fire mulberry trees in the southwest of the mansion. It was very conspicuous, bright and fiery.

He didn't think much about it, after all, he was living under someone else's roof.

"Okay, don't worry!"

Only then did Old Yang feel relieved and led his men to slowly retreat, leaving a nimble servant waiting outside the yard.

Suddenly, only Guan Ning and the other two were left in the entire yard, which seemed empty.

"Choose a room. You don't have to sleep in the cave with me." Guan Ning joked.

Tang Xiang'er blushed slightly, and hesitated and tried to test: "Brother Guan, can you please not go too far away... I'm afraid..."

Her big eyes are pure and full of hope.

How could Guan Ning bear to refuse: "Sleeping together?"

Tang Xiang'er's ears turned even redder: "Still, let's do it like before. You sleep inside and I sleep outside, separated by a beaded curtain, okay?"

She was too embarrassed to ask, fearing she would sleep alone and afraid Guan Ning would misunderstand that she had other thoughts.

Guan Ning smiled and suddenly moved closer.

Tang Xiang'er retreated in panic, her eyes evasive, and her heartbeat began to accelerate suddenly.

"Look at me." Guan Ning said.

Tang Xiang'er took a look, dodged again, and stammered: "Guan, Brother Guan, what's wrong?"

"How about I hold you in my arms while sleeping like before?" Guan Ning said deliberately.

Tang Xiang'er's face turned even redder, her mind went blank, and she didn't know how to answer.

"Hahaha!" Guan Ning suddenly laughed out loud.

Tang Xiang'er, a young girl, couldn't bear it. Her face suddenly became hot and she stamped her feet: "Brother Guan, I, I don't want to pay attention to you anymore!"

With that, she rushed to escape.

"Hahaha!" Guan Ning continued laughing from behind. This girl is too cute.

It wasn't long before the house was cleaned up. It wasn't that dirty to begin with, so it could be used after a little cleaning.

Before, the two of them slept together in the cave because of the situation, but now they are safe. Guan Ning was just talking. How could he have the nerve to sleep with a little girl?

But considering that Tang Xiang'er felt insecure alone, they finally put a bead curtain between the two of them and slept one inside and the other outside.

The night is like water, lonely and beautiful.

Guan Ning slept soundly that night. It could be said that it was the first time he slept so relaxed since his escape.

Tang Xiang'er, on the other hand, was a little uncomfortable.

She had gotten used to Guan Ning protecting her while she slept, but suddenly he wanted to separate them with a curtain.

Early morning hours.

As the morning dew began to rise, the birds chirped non-stop.

Guan Ning woke up in shock and sat up almost by muscle memory, alert to his surroundings. There was sweat on his forehead. He had actually slept so soundly!

"call!"

"I was so scared. I thought I was being chased." He muttered and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Xiang'er, Xiang'er?" He called out twice, but no one responded from outside.

He put on his coat and went out.

In the yard, there are falling leaves in the breeze and rays of bright sunlight, which is very pleasant.

"Huh, what about people?"

"strangeness."

He looked around but didn't find anyone, so he walked out of the courtyard and prepared to ask someone. After all, it was Yuan Tao's mansion, so he was not worried about any danger.

"Young Master." The servant was still at the door.

"Please stand up. May I ask where is the pretty girl who stayed with me?"

"Sir, she got up early this morning and said she was going to make breakfast for you. Steward Yang originally said she could just have the servants do it, but she insisted on doing it herself."

Hearing this, Guan Ning couldn't help but smile bitterly. This girl really had nothing to say about him.

"Ok."

He was about to say something else.

boom!

A colorful football hit the back of his head hard, making a loud noise.

"Young Master!" The servant was terrified.

Guan Ning touched the back of his head and looked back, but he was not angry.

I saw several women standing in the open space at the end of my sight. The one leading them was wearing a peach-colored long dress. She was very conspicuous, but her face could not be seen clearly.

She knew she had kicked someone, but she felt no guilt at all. She just waved and shouted over here.

"You, bring me the ball!"

The commanding tone made Guan Ning frown.

"Yes, yes, miss." The servant at the door immediately forced a smile, fearing that he would be late.

Miss?

Guan Ning was stunned for a moment. Yuan Tao’s daughter?

For Yuan Tao's sake, he remained silent.

But at this moment, the woman opposite was not happy, and said coldly: "I'm not asking you to take it, I'm asking that guy to take it!"

The servant froze in the middle, looking at the peach-colored figure, then at Guan Ning, his face full of bitterness and fear.

"Miss...he, he, he is the master's guest. This is inappropriate."

"Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

"I told him to bring it over!"

"You'd better bring it back to me right now, and have that guy bring it to me, otherwise I will twist your heads off and kick them like a football!" The woman spoke every word in an arrogant and domineering manner, which was in sharp contrast to her pink skirt and beautiful figure.

None of the maids around her dared to speak. They were all trembling and did not dare to provoke this little ancestor.
