Tang Xian nodded, “I think so too, but we don't know where he is hiding.”

"He Tianlin is a treasure to Tang Xiu, he wouldn't let us discover him easily."

Fu Jiujiu said coldly, “But He Tianlin must die. This person’s existence is a threat to this world.”

Tang Xian nodded lightly, "Rest assured, I will find him no matter how far away he is."

As for other ways to deal with Tang Xiu, Fu Jiu knew she didn't need to ask. She also knew that Tang Xian wouldn't just sit back and wait.

"Tang Qi Gege, you can do whatever you want, don't worry about me, I will protect myself well."

Fu Jiu knew she was his weakness. Tang Xiu had won once precisely because he'd calculated this fact.

Tang Xian nodded, "Good."

……

Fu Jiujiu didn't expect to look for Su Wen again, but Su Wen rejected her.

She didn't mind it, but Su Wen knew about it and sent a maid to tell Fu Jiujiao.

"Miss, my young lady said that if you wish to hear the qin, just give her a call and she'll come. This place isn't very suitable for you, I suggest you avoid it."

Fu Jiujiu nodded slightly, and let Yanyu take out some silver coins to give this little maidservant. The maidservant received the reward and went back.

Fujujiao knows that *Suwen* is for her own good, but she has never been the kind of person who cares about these things.

But she couldn't refuse their kindness.

Originally, she just wanted to ask about the *Suwen*. She wondered if staying in the Qionghua Pavilion was dangerous and asked whether he considered leaving.

She can help.

However, Fujujyu thought to herself, it would be the same next time she went.

But every time she found out that he had been taken away.

Although she didn't say where, the madam only said it was a handsome and wealthy young master. Fu Jiu Jiu guessed it should be Tang Xiu.

He would hold the concubine responsible for any troubles caused by Su Wen, and he wouldn't allow anyone else to take Su Wen away.

The result made Xixi go for a walk, and it really was so.

Jiyuan is a relatively secluded courtyard in the Prince's Mansion. It's not very large, and it's even quite far from the prince's bedroom, but Su Wen still chose this place.

She didn't want to escape, but she knew if Tang Xiu wanted to bring her back, it would be easy.

Perhaps with Fu Jiujiao and Tang Xian's help it would be possible, but she worried that doing so would bring trouble to Fu Jiujiao and Tang Xian.

She hasn't reached the point of being completely out of control yet, after all, Tang Xiu cares about her a lot now, unlike in her past life.

This is also a change.

"Is this satisfactory?" Tang Xiu asked.

Suwen couldn't see his face, but he figured it was probably the same as in his past life. "I chose this place myself, how could I be dissatisfied?"

Tang Xiu was quite disgusted by her lukewarm attitude, so he directly called it out.

"You mutilate yourself for me to see, making me punish Ji Side Concubine, and you've gotten the result you wanted. What kind of act is this?"

The Classic of Internal Medicine knows, he can't hide it from him for too long. "Your Highness, didn't you misunderstand? I hurt my hand, and I didn't ask you to take revenge for me?"

"You..." Tang Xiu sneered, this woman was taking advantage of him.

He said he wouldn't go see her, but he went back on his word.

"The girl from the Classic of Internal Medicine is really good at playing hard to get." Tang Xiu gritted his teeth.

"The Ancient Treatise smiled, "Why isn't it truly true? Your Highness insists that the Ancient Treatise is interested in you, then there's no need for me to explain further."

...then you deliberately showed me kindness before...

The "Su Wen" mentions that a cold complexion indicates someone from before rebirth, and she truly couldn't explain it.

After that, she never behaved like that again.

"Your Highness, Su Wen can be nice to any man..."

"No, you are and always will be mine." Tang Xiu grabbed her hand, looking at her lips, wanting to kiss her, but the woman sensed his intention and turned her face away.

Despite her eyes always being vacant, he couldn't help but feel, perhaps it was his delusion, that there was disgust in those cold orbs at this moment.

She hates herself.

Tang Xiu had never felt so defeated.

He isn't a very emotional person, nor would he be swayed by emotions like Tang Xian was, who let feelings ruin everything.

But he had to admit, ever since he met this woman, her elusive nature had successfully caught his attention.

He told himself that he only liked challenges.

I will make you willing.

The Su Wen looked at him, a slight smirk playing on her lips.

Tang Xiu let go of her, but he didn't dare to use force. After all, she was behind the dressing table, and he was afraid that he might hurt her accidentally.

Tang Xiu left, and Su Wen let out a sigh of relief.

She heard in the yard, Tang Xiu was instructing a maidservant to take good care of herself.

She smiled wryly, it was different from before, wasn't this a kind of victory?

……

Although Fu Jiujiu worried about Su Wen, she thought that everyone had their own aspirations. If Su Wen truly wanted to be with Tang Xiu, she had no right to interfere.

This day, Tang Xian brought a message to Fu Jiujiu.

"What? You're saying that the Prince of Xilin Kingdom is coming to the capital?" Atu Xiu reacted more intensely than Fu Jiu Jiu.

“What is that big toad up to again? Isn't he here to find the princess and family of Li Chao?”

Tang Xian nodded. "Princess Mingyue is right, that's exactly what he means, and he even sent their princess from Xilin."

"But you people of Li Chao have no princess now, do you?" A-Tu Xiu said: "Didn't I just say that there is only my Wangfei as a princess?"

"Now we have it, Lao Ba's mother concubine gave birth to him, but he is only three years old now."

"Huh? Didn't that big toad have ulterior motives?" Athos said.

Fu Jiujiu, however, didn't think so. "There are princesses, but also county princesses and the daughters and granddaughters of princes and ministers."

Tang Xian nodded, "Not bad."

Artorius nodded. “I don’t know who is so unlucky to marry that toad, he’s old, ugly and mean.”

She looked at Fu Jiujiu, who grinned, "What's the matter?"

"What is it?" Tang Xian looked at Fu JiuJiu.

She knew Fu Jiu Jiu had cleaned up Andu before, but she didn't know the details.

Fu didn't say anything either.

"Ahem, it's nothing."

Artus also nodded, helping Fu Chi-Chiu cover up, "It's nothing, Chi-Chiu, you still shouldn't show your face then."

Fujujiao of course also knows this, and would rather not show her face. But is that possible?

She is both the princess of Jiaoling and the soon-to-be Madam Jin. She can't possibly hide her face, so we need to find a way.

Tang Xian also knew this wasn't a matter of fear. Prince An, someone who was so vindictive, seeing the little girl...who knows what thoughts might arise in his mind?

"When he arrives, I'll tell Father you're ill. Or perhaps you could go and see your third sister-in-law at her estate? It's harvest season now, so it should be quite interesting."

"That's a good idea, I haven't seen what your autumn harvest looks like in the Li Chao era before." Athos was getting excited. "Qi Jin, let's go together."

Fu Qiujin nodded. "If you want to go, then go."

Fu Bajin didn't show any weakness, "Xiuxiuxiu, let's go too."

Zhong Lingxiu touched her own face, Fu Bajin quickly said: "Don't be afraid."

"Sister, when will Xiuxiang be able to recover her own appearance?"
