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

"There's a man hiding in the closet?" Song Ci'an's eyes widened as she looked at Xie Xing and then at Xie Yuze in disbelief.

"Song Ci'an?" Xie Yuze recognized Song Ci'an and looked somewhat surprised.

With a cold face and expressionless expression, Song Ci'an dragged Xie Yuze out of the cabinet and pulled him in front of Xie Xing: "What's going on here?"

"and who are you?"

Xie Yuze quickly replied, "I am Xie Xing's third brother."

"Third Brother?" Song Ci'an looked Xie Yuze up and down, then sneered.

"What are you doing here, a spoiled young master of the Xie family, instead of staying properly locked up in the Xie family? Why did you run off to such a far place and suddenly appear in the wardrobe of the Fifth Prince's thirteenth concubine?"

"Aren't you afraid of being found out and sentenced to death?"

Xie Yuze didn't care about the sarcasm in Song Ci'an's tone. He said, "Xie Xing's identity was discovered by the Fifth Prince long ago. I came here to see her off."

Song Ci'an snorted coldly, crossed his arms, and blocked Xie Xing's way, saying, "No need for you to trouble yourself."

“My own sister, I will naturally take her out of the city lord’s mansion myself.”

"You..."

Song Ci'an looked Xie Yuze up and down and sneered, "Don't embarrass yourself by coming up here from the General's Mansion. It's bad enough that my sister didn't enjoy any happiness in your house, but she almost lost her life."

“My sister would never dare to associate with relatives like you.”

"From now on, your Xie family will pretend that Xie Xing never existed."

Xie Yuze: "..."

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that he couldn't utter a single word.

He had no right to say, in front of any member of the Song family, that the Xie family could make Xie Xing better.

Because, if it weren't for the Song family in their previous life, the Xie family would probably have been wiped out before Luo Hanfeng ascended the throne.

Xie Yuze's voice was a little hoarse, "You're right, but Xie Xing is my own sister after all."

"Since our Xie family has already wronged Xing'er, we can only do our best to make amends."

【Um? 】

Xie Xing looked at Xie Yuze in surprise.

[These words actually came out of Xie Yuze's mouth?]

Xie Yuze, hearing the inner monologue: "..."

A smile bloomed on his face.

"Wow, how lively!" Just then, a lazy voice rang out from outside the window.

The three were startled and turned back to see that the masked Ghost King was sitting leisurely by the window, watching for an unknown amount of time.

Noticing their gazes, Jun Lanjin raised his hand, "I wonder if your esteemed lady's boudoir can still accommodate another man?"

Xie Yuze: "..."

Xie Xing: "..."

Song Ci'an: "..."

Song Ci'an looked at Jun Lanjin warily, her cold eyes asking, "And who are you?"

Xie Xing was truly impressed.

She quickly stepped forward and pulled Jun Lanjin down from the window. She even leaned out and looked around twice until she met the gazes of the twelve concubines across the window.

The two fell into a deep silence.

The concubine stared wide-eyed at Xie Xing in shock, then opened her mouth wide.

OMG!

Someone come quickly!

Thirteen concubines cheated on their husbands!

Stealing a man!

Three of them were secretly stolen!

Seeing that she was about to speak, Xie Xing's heart was about to jump out of her throat.

She quickly bent down, took off her shoe, and with a forceful flick of her wrist, shoved it straight into the mouth of the twelve concubines.

"Come on... um!" The slipper landed squarely on the mouth of the twelfth concubine.

There happened to be a red mark on her lips.

After a two-second silence, the concubine let out a sharp scream.

Xie Xing was startled.

She immediately retreated from the window, intending to run out and subdue the concubine to prevent her from leaking the news.

As soon as the person stepped out of the window, a glance back revealed that Song Ci'an had already appeared at the opposite window, binding the concubine tightly with all his might.

Xie Xing: "..."

Fine.

She turned around and met two other pairs of eyes.

Xie Yuze looked completely innocent and bewildered.

Jun Lanjin leaned lazily against the stone pillar, smiling as she looked at Xie Xing, "It seems that Madam is not welcoming my arrival?"

Xie Xing was really at his wit's end.

The veins on her forehead throbbed, and she wanted to explode in anger, but she realized that she couldn't afford to offend any of them here.

Left with no other choice, Xie Xing could only suppress his anger and, with a smile on his face, looked at Jun Lanjin and Xie Yuze: "Did you all rush over from the window because you think the Fifth Prince's residence is so stupid that it doesn't even have a single spy?"

Jun Lanjin said slowly, "Of course not."

"With the Chu army moving tonight, I'm afraid the Fifth Prince will have no time to attend to us."

"I have come here to have Madam fulfill her previous promise."

"Tianshan Snow Lotus."

Xie Yuze turned to look at Jun Lanjin.

Jun Lanjin's goal is the Tianshan Snow Lotus. Now that the Tianshan Snow Lotus is in Chao Le's hands, if they can use the Tianshan Snow Lotus to restrain Jun Lanjin, it will be a huge help.

But will the Tianshan Snow Lotus really be given to Jun Lanjin?

will not.

In her past life, Chao Le's mother was poisoned and needed the Tian Shan snow lotus to save her life.

The life of her biological mother and Jun Lanjin's own life.

That makes sense...

Who would risk their own mother's life to save someone else's?

What are you looking for?

When Song Ci'an arrived, he heard these words.

Xie Xing turned her head, glanced at Song Ci'an, and finally sighed, saying, "I do know where the Tianshan Snow Lotus is hidden."

During this time, Chao Le kept her by his side in case she came up with any tricks.

In addition, there might also be a bit of lust involved, which led Xie Xing to know quite a lot of things.

Including the location of the Tian Shan snow lotus.

However, it's important to know that the Tianshan Snow Lotus cannot be obtained by her alone.

Tonight should be a suitable opportunity.

if only…

After obtaining the Tianshan Snow Lotus, she will find an opportunity to have Song Ci'an and Yue Liang help her escape, thus keeping the Tianshan Snow Lotus for herself!

The three people who could hear her thoughts: "..."

The three of them looked at Xie Xing with strange eyes.

The plan was quite good; it would have been even better if the three of them hadn't overheard it.

They acted immediately upon hearing the word.

Xie Xing and the other two walked out of the room.

As he left, he passed by the windows of the twelve concubines.

The concubine, bound hand and foot, stared wide-eyed at the three men following Xie Xing.

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" The concubine tried desperately to make a sound from her throat, but found that no one paid any attention to her.

Concubine: "..."

Your Highness, please come back soon!

This audacious newcomer actually brought three men into the house!

Three men!

Three green hats!

The concubine watched the men's backs and realized that they were able to move around the mansion with ease.

Her gaze shifted from initial shock and anger to eventual realization.

original…

Can it still be like this?
