After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

No.

What does this have to do with her, a mere woman in her backyard?

The smile on Chao Le's face disappeared.

Is that all you wanted to say?

Xie Xing tilted his head and looked at Chao Le blankly: "Your Highness, do you doubt me?"

“I stayed in the manor all night last night, and the servants in the manor can testify to that.”

"Besides, the moon hasn't moved an inch in my residence!"

Chao Le stared at Xie Xing for a while, then smiled and walked over to Xie Xing, gently placing her hand on Xie Xing's waist and affectionately pinching Xie Xing's nose.

"How could that be? I have no doubts about you."

"I cherish you so much, how could I possibly doubt you?"

"If I were to doubt you, you would probably be dead already."

Song Ci'an stared at Chao Le's hand on Xie Xing's waist and the hand that was scratching Xie Xing's nose, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

He secretly clenched his fist.

Xie Xing looked up at Chao Le's smiling face and smiled slightly as well: "Is that so? Then my darling is truly honored."

And you said you had no doubts.

The suspicion in her eyes was almost palpable on her face.

Xie Xing couldn't figure out what Chao Le was up to.

He clearly suspected her, but he didn't lay a hand on her; instead, he wanted to keep her by his side.

Although she claimed to like her, Chao Le hadn't actually stepped into Xie Xing's room once during this time.

A few nights ago, Xie Xing was worried about what would happen if Chao Le came to her room.

But Xie Xing was completely relieved after knowing that Chao Le would not come into her room.

After Chao Le stopped doubting Xie Xing, she let Xie Xing go.

Before leaving, Xie Xing looked at Song Ci'an with some curiosity.

What exactly is Song Ci'an doing?

……

That night.

Xie Xing waited for Song Ci'an in the room.

After an unknown amount of time, knocking sounds came from outside the window of the room.

Xie Xing immediately stood up and opened the window.

The person who came in was not Song Ci'an, but Xie Yuze.

"Third brother?"

Xie Yuze rushed in, grabbed Xie Xing's hand, and said urgently, "Xing'er, you're coming with us tonight."

“The Fifth Prince recognized your identity long ago and knew that your name was Xie Xing. He kept you around because he wanted to use you to keep Prince Jin in check.”

"Walk."

As Xie Yuze spoke, he was about to take Xie Xing away.

Ok?

Xie Xing had only taken a couple of steps when she shook off Xie Yuze's hand. She looked at Xie Yuze suspiciously and asked, "How did you know?"

Xie Yuze said somewhat helplessly, "I heard the Fifth Prince say that to the Ghost King today."

Xie Xing, however, was very cautious: "If that's the case, why does he recognize me but not you, Third Brother?"

Xie Yuze was a notorious playboy in Shengjing.

This doesn't make sense.

Xie Yuze looked at Xie Xing speechlessly.

He knew that Xie Xing still suspected him.

He was actually more unfamiliar with Xie Xing than Xie Xing was with him.

But no matter which Xie Xing it is, as long as she is his sister, he doesn't want anything to happen to her.

"Your third brother is nothing but a spoiled brat. How can I compare to Jun Lanjin, who has prestige?"

“You have a close relationship with Jun Lanjin, so naturally many people are watching you.”

Xie Yuze was right about that.

Previously, Luo Hanfeng's master also regarded Xie Xing as a tool to restrain Jun Lanjin.

Xie Xing kept a straight face, took two steps back, turned around, and said, "I can't go with you."

"Why?" Xie Yuze looked at Xie Xing blankly.

Xie Xing said, "Heavenly Snow Lotus."

"I want to get the Tianshan Snow Lotus."

Xie Yuze's pupils contracted slightly.

What do you want with the Tian Shan snow lotus?

The Tianshan Snow Lotus is something Jun Lanjin wants, yet Xie Xing actually wants to compete with Jun Lanjin for it?

Xie Xing said, "Third Brother, you don't need to worry about this matter. Whether it's for the sake of the Tianshan Snow Lotus or for any other reason, I can't leave."

"Third Brother." Xie Xing looked up at Xie Yuze. "I don't know why you're with the Ghost King, but you almost lost your life because of me last time."

"As your younger sister, I'll give you one last piece of advice: if you want the Xie family to survive, it's best to form an alliance with Prince Jin."

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuze remained silent, giving Xie Xing a somewhat strange look.

She didn't even know that the Ghost King was Prince Jin?

Xie Yuze sighed, "With Third Brother here, he naturally wants the Xie family to live as well."

"Xing'er." He looked at Xie Xing with deep eyes, "No matter what, the Xie family owes you a lot."

Xie Xing didn't say anything; she just smiled.

The Xie family owes me far more than just a lot.

The Xie family not only owed the original owner of this body, but also owed her.

The Xie family has treated her so harshly and cruelly all this time, and now what she has to do is protect the Xie family.

The Xie family owes her countless lives.

Those who don't know her might think she's a saint.

Xie Yuze: "..."

He was speechless for a moment.

During this time, he will intermittently recall the memories of this body.

The more memories Xie Yuze had, the more clearly he could discover that before Xie Xing came to the Xie family, this body's experiences were exactly the same as his own.

The turning point came after Xie Xing came to the Xie family.

Xie Family —

Since the day when the Xie family members were able to hear Xie Xing's thoughts, Xie Yuze's relationship with Xie Xing gradually improved without anyone noticing.

This was a relationship he had never had with his biological sister in his previous life.

Even at the very end.

Just as Xie Yuze was about to say something, a commotion came from outside.

Xie Yuze's expression shifted, and he quickly turned over and hid in the wardrobe.

Outside the window, Song Ci'an's figure appeared.

"Second Brother?!" Xie Xing's eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over.

Xie Yuze, hiding in the closet: "?"

Second brother?

Xie Tongchen is here too?

The next second after he was puzzled, he heard Xie Xing cry out in pain.

Immediately following was an angry voice, "Xie Xing, you've really grown some guts. I told you to go home, and you're here being someone's concubine?"

"Ouch! Second brother! Let go, let go!"

Xie Xing screamed in pain.

Song Ci'an snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and glared at Xie Xing: "If the third brother hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known you were here."

"That damn Fifth Prince, I'll take his head in a couple of days!"

After finishing his tirade, Song Ci'an's expression turned serious. He looked at Xie Xing and asked coldly, "That Fifth Prince, he didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Xie Xing shook his head.

"Second brother, what's going on with you today?"

Speaking of Song Ci'an makes me angry.

He glared at Xie Xing, annoyed. "It's all your fault. You didn't listen to me and wandered around, causing Lao San to curse at me in the face."

"Since the Fifth Prince didn't do anything to you, don't worry, I'll be able to rescue you soon."

As Song Ci'an was speaking, he happened to walk up to the cabinet and was about to put his hand on it when he made eye contact with Xie Yuze, who was hiding inside.

A few seconds of silence...

"I rely on!"

Song Ci'an was so startled that he stumbled.
