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

What is she saying?

The Xie brothers, Yuhe and Yuze, were both startled and almost lost their balance, grabbing Xie Xing by the collar and shaking him.

What is she saying?

What are Xie Tongchen's feelings for Xie Mingzhu?

And yesterday, Luo Hanfeng was with her last night, how could he have seen Mingzhu and Xie Tongchen hugging each other?

Xie Yuhe was in a daze.

He couldn't help but wonder if the assassin who broke into the mansion yesterday was Luo Hanfeng.

What happened last night?

"Brother?" Xie Xing's gaze shifted from the doorway back, and she immediately met the two men's somewhat distraught eyes. She tilted her head blankly, looking at them with confusion.

The two were startled, fearing that Xie Xing would notice something amiss, and immediately averted their gazes.

Xie Yuhe softened his gaze as much as possible, smiled at Xie Xing, and asked, "Nothing, Xing'er, what happened last night? Can you tell your brother?"

"How did the Seventh Prince bully you?"

Xie Yuhe's smile grew even more gentle. He even brought a stool and sat down beside Xie Xing's bed, showing great concern for Xie Xing.

He appeared to be like this on the surface, but inside Xie Yuhe was about to explode.

What exactly happened without his knowledge?

Why did Xie Tongchen suddenly develop such feelings for Xie Xing?

This is outrageous and contrary to human ethics!

Little did Xie Xing know, upon seeing Xie Yuhe's gentle demeanor, Xie Xing couldn't help but tremble, even taking a defensive step back, his expression wary.

What happened to my older brother?

Could it be because I just offended Xie Mingzhu, and she's plotting to kill me?

It's not Xie Xing's fault.

The real reason is that Xie Yuhe's attitude towards Xie Xing has changed quite a bit during this period.

For a period of time after Xie Xing entered the manor, Xie Yuhe was indifferent, unlike a typical older brother.

Xie Yuhe's smile froze.

"Pfft." Xie Yuze, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xie Xing and Xie Yuhe shifted their gaze to him.

Xie Yuhe's eyes were kind.

Xie Yuze's expression hardened, his smile vanished, and he instead grabbed the little girl's cheek in a carefree manner, asking, "Tell me, what did that Seventh Prince do to you?"

"I'm your brother, after all. I can always stand up for you."

Although his words sounded nice, Xie Yuze's grip was quite strong. He rubbed Xie Xing's hands together and casually ruffled Xie Xing's hair.

This rubbing was incredible.

He rubbed the big bump that Xie Xing had gotten from Luo Hanfeng's punch.

Xie Xing's tears, which she had just stopped, instantly flowed again from the pain. She cried out and slapped Xie Yuze's hand away: "Third Brother!"

She angrily covered the bulge behind her.

Xie Yuze also sensed something was wrong. He stopped and looked at the back of the girl's head, where he saw a brightly colored bag.

Xie Yuze: "..."

"How did you do that?"

What else can we do?

Xie Xing angrily complained, "The Seventh Prince hit him!"

"Woooo..."

Xie Yuze's eyes widened. "Outrageous! What kind of skill is it to bully a woman?"

"But then again, who told you to be so arrogant in front of Luo Hanfeng? Let me tell you, he's not dead now, but things will be different when he gets back."

"Just behave yourself and don't cause any more trouble."

Xie Xing is a troublesome person.

She nodded outwardly, but behind Xie Yuze's back, she let his words go in one ear and out the other.

[Waaaaah, forget about bullying him, this bastard fed me poison, and I have to find a way to get the antidote from him every month.]

That's outrageous! He's definitely not a good person!

[Furthermore, where did he get the information that those people from the previous dynasty would sneak into Xie Mingzhu's courtyard last night to reunite with her?]

[Was their recognition of each other a bit too hasty? Just based on a birthmark on his shoulder?]

what?

Xie Yuhe and Xie Yuze were both startled again.

They suddenly felt everything go black.

If it weren't for Xie Xing's true feelings, the remnants of the previous dynasty would have already recognized Xie Mingzhu without their knowledge.

This was so sudden that neither of them could believe it.

Xie Yuhe gave Xie Yuze a look, signaling him to continue trying to get information out of him.

Xie Yuze could only suppress the turmoil in his heart for the time being, and said to Xie Xing again, "Did you hear me?"

"The remnants of the previous dynasty were not all eliminated last time. There are still some remaining members. Be careful."

Compared to Xie Yuhe, Xie Xing was not as wary of Xie Yuze.

Ultimately, it was because Xie Yuze protected her that Xie Xing was no longer afraid of him.

But upon hearing about the remnants of the previous dynasty, she began to worry again:

Unfortunately, the system is no longer available, so I don't know the specific events in the storyline.

Xie Yuze is a good person; I don't want to see him become disabled.

However, given the sequence of events, now that Xie Mingzhu knows about her background, shouldn't her eldest brother be the first to encounter trouble?

When exactly was it?

Xie Xing frowned slightly: "According to the plot, something else must have happened before my brother investigates the remnants of the previous dynasty."

When will the system be back?

The girl's innermost thoughts were filled with doubts and questions.

There was no useful information at all.

However, Xie Xing's words felt like a sword hanging over their heads.

In chronological order, the eldest brother was the first to have an accident.

But when exactly is unknown.

The fear brought on by the unknown made the two brothers feel terrible.

Even though they knew the information in advance, and even with their intentional interference, Xie Mingzhu's identity as a princess of the previous dynasty was still exposed. To make matters worse, Luo Hanfeng also found out about it.

If Luo Hanfeng were just an unfavored prince, they wouldn't have anything to fear.

But that's the problem!

He is not; in fact, he has the Yama Palace as a powerful force behind him.

Xie Yuhe's hands, hanging by his sides, trembled slightly. If Luo Hanfeng used this matter as leverage to force the Xie family to work for him, could they refuse?

No!

Luo Hanfeng cannot live!

Xie Yuhe suddenly stood up.

Xie Xing's thoughts came to an abrupt halt. She looked up at her elder brother, who appeared gentle and refined.

Although her older brother was a bit cold towards her, things have improved somewhat recently.

The thought that he would perish in a fire makes me feel a little sad.

[According to the system, it seems my elder brother hasn't even managed to find a wife. The eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's family, Yao Qiongwan, whom he liked, apparently didn't have a good ending either.]

The voice of the heart was heard again.

Xie Yuhe clenched his fist.

After silently complaining, Xie Xing replied to Xie Yuze, "I'll remember that, brother."

It's not an option to avoid provoking Luo Hanfeng.

She wants to go home, and even being poisoned cannot stop her from completing her mission!

She needs to find a way to make the Xie family discover the poison in her body.

Xie Xing lowered his eyes, his once clear pupils now clouded with a hint of darkness.

If she wants to gain the Xie family's attention, she needs to demonstrate her value and exchange that value for what she wants.

A hint of confusion flashed across her eyes.

what should I do?

After the system temporarily disappeared, Xie Xingcai truly felt that she was all alone in this ancient world.
