Zhong Yansheng carefully touched the fluffy tail that he had been coveting for a long time, and seeing that Taxue was still lying beside him with no sign of disgust, the tension and fear in his heart was immediately relieved a lot. He mustered up his courage and tentatively touched Taxue''s head again.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The Artemisia Leopard squinted its eyesfortably, and his tail swung back and forth.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">He''s not scary at all.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Realizing that the Artemisia Leopard had no intention of hurting him, Zhong Yansheng slowly rxed. This big cat had been very well-behaved in the cage just now, and he would not have been angry if someone had not knocked on the cage to provoke him.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
His knee was still hurting. Zhong Yansheng was satisfied with the touch and unscrewed the medicine bottle to apply the medicine. However, Taxue was not very happy and arched his head towards him, as if he wanted him to touch him again.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Such a ferocious beast was like a little kitten. Zhong Yansheng felt soft-hearted and couldn''t help but touch its head again.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Taxue was still not satisfied, as soon as Zhong Yansheng''s hand left his head, he moved forward again.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
He was arched in the wrong position, with his head squeezed between Zhong Yansheng''s legs, and he even stuck out his tongue to try to lick him.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The scorching breath of the beast was so close that Zhong Yansheng''s face turned red. He hurriedly pushed its head: <strong>"Don''t, don''t do this..."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
But Zhong Yansheng couldn''t push the big cat away with its strength. Sensing his resistance, Taxue became even more excited and insisted on pushing towards his lower body.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Wen was stunned, and the fan in his hand almost fell to the ground. He wanted toe over to help but didn''t dare to: <strong>"My dear lord, Taxue, what are you doing...Brother! Brother!"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Thest two shouts were terrified, helpless and heartbreaking.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng was much more helpless than him. His face turned red as he tried desperately to hide, and he almost rolled off the stone bench.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The next moment, Xiao Nong''s voice came from the gate of the courtyard, cold and murderous, <strong>"Taxue."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The Artemisia leopard, which was still happily pushing against Zhong Yansheng, suddenly froze, let out a low hiss from its throat, and retreated unwillingly.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng closed his legs in shock, not daring to look in the direction of the courtyard gate. He quickly applied some ointment and smeared it on his knees.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Familiar footsteps approached slowly, and Xiao Nong''s voice fell into his ears, with a hint of unquestionable coldness: <strong>"Get into the cage yourself, otherwise today''s rabbit meat will be cancelled."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Taxue''s eyes, which had been narrowed into a line, suddenly widened. After hesitating for a while, intimidated by Xiao Nong''s threat, it obediently held its tail in its mouth and crawled into the iron cage under the shade of the tree.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng was startled and quickly lowered his hem to cover his calves tightly.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong nced at Zhong Yansheng with dark eyes.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Thetter''s back revealed a sense of panic.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Including the glimpse in the carriage, this was the third time we met.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
This former young master of the Huai''an Marquisate seemedpletely different from his little bird, from his voice to his body shape and appearance.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
But as he looked at Zhong Yansheng, that subtle sense of weirdness became stronger and stronger.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
In the past, Xiao Nong would probably have detained the person and interrogated him.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">But Yuan Yuan is a little different.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">The runaway little bird is really a cause for concern. He is too timid and fragile. He is not a criminal to be hunted down, nor is he one of his enemies. If he were those people, it would be easier to deal with him... Yuan Yuan needs to be treated very carefully. If he is frightened, it will be a waste of time and effort.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Especially since the kid seemed very afraid of him.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Let''s get things straight first.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Seeing that Zhong Yansheng had his back to him and was reluctant to turn around, Xiao Nong said in a t voice, with no emotion in his voice: <strong>"Does it still hurt?"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
As soon as he opened his mouth, the person with his back to him froze for a moment, then turned back reluctantly, lowered his head, and looked very obedient: <strong>"It doesn''t hurt anymore, thank you, Your Highness."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<strong>"It was my pet that hurt you."</strong> Xiao Nong paused deliberately, staring at Zhong Yansheng''s reaction, <strong>"I should apologize ande to visit you."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Hearing the second half of the sentence, Zhong Yansheng''s hair stood on end: <strong>"Your Highness Prince Ding, you are too kind! We came here without permission, how can we ask you toe and apologize..."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Are you so afraid of me?</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong was unhappy and raised his eyebrows, as if he had realized something: <strong>"Really? Then ording to what the young master meant, you shoulde to my mansion and apologize to me?"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng paused as he slowly sensed something wrong in Xiao Nong''s words.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong nodded calmly: <strong>"I agree."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Wen was stunned.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">What is his brother doing?</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng was also speechless.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">No, that''s not right. Howe the conversation ended up like this, and he had to go to Prince Ding’s Mansion to apologize?</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong made the final decision, and his tone did not allow for rebuttal. After he finished speaking, he turned and headed out of the courtyard, leaving only two words: <strong>"Follow me."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
He said it himself. Zhong Yansheng could not find any reason to refuse toe. His face under the veil was as sad as a bitter gourd. He felt guilty and scared. He followed Xiao Wen, who had also made a mistake and dared not say a word, and walked silently behind Xiao Nong.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
His knee injury was indeed not serious. He was just caught off guard and knocked to the ground by Taxue, causing a slight scrape and a small bruise. The medicine Xiao prescribed was as effective as always, and the pain was less severe after applying it.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
But he had no tolerance for pain and walked very slowly.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Wen was a leisurely person, and he staggered every three steps. In the past, when he followed Xiao Nong, <em ss="chakra-text css-0">he could never keep up with the pace of his tall, long-legged and decisive cousin.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">But today he was surprised to find that his brother''s pace had slowed down a lot, as if he was taking care of the person who was walking slowly behind him.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Moreover, he brought people here without permission. In the past, his cousin would definitely not give him face and would have beaten him up in public and kicked everyone else out. But today, he didn''t even scold him!</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Could it be that my cousin has a change of heart and finally realizes to love his own cousin?</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Wen was stunned for a moment. He was not used to it. He was deeply moved and called out expectantly like a fledgling: <strong>"Brother..."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong turned around and nced at him coldly. His deep blue eyes were like the cold night before dawn, revealing a few big words: <strong>"I''ll deal with youter."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Wen choked for a moment and was no longer moved.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
When Xiao Wen led everyone here, they took a long detour. Now that Xiao Nong was leading the way, Zhong Yansheng realized that Taxue''s courtyard was actually very close to Xiao Nong''s study, just a few steps away.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The familiar environment gradually came into view.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng is very familiar with Xiao Nong''s study.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The closer he got to this ce, the more his toes dug into the ground and his whole body felt unwell. If he hadn''t been afraid that Xiao Nong would discover his ws, he would have wanted to run away.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">He had thought that he would never set foot here again in his life.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Howe I am back again!</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng thought sullenly.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Sooner orter, I will twist Xiao Wen''s head off and kick it like a ball.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
A dozen people who arrived first were standing on the corridor, not daring to enter the study or even nce around. They were a group of rich young men who usually did nothing but cockfighting and running errands. They had never stood so straight and upright in their lives.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The secret guard was standing by, guarding them with his arms folded, as if they were a criminal. When he saw Xiao Nonging, he bowed deeply and retreated silently to the corridor.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Compared to the others who were nervous and uneasy, Xiao Nong seemed particrly rxed. With two tails behind him, he walked into the study at a leisurely pace without even looking at those people.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng stopped at the door of the study, hesitant.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">I didn''t dare to go in.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Then he became aware of that familiar, powerful gaze cast upon him, with a hint of inquiry.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng felt numb all over when he was stared at. He didn''t dare to dy any longer and stepped into the study room with gritted teeth.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The study was still the same familiar scene as when hest left.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Even the exclusive little stool that was ced opposite Xiao Nong''s desk and next to the bookshelf was still there.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhan Rong, who had ced the small stool for him at the time, said that it was made by Uncle Wang himself.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
When Zhong Yansheng saw his little stool, he couldn''t help but widen his eyes slightly.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Didn''t His Royal Highness Prince Ding throw away his little stool?</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
When the others saw Xiao Wen and Zhong Yansheng go in, they also followed hesitantly into the study. Fortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Ding''s study was spacious enough to amodate so many people.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
As soon as everyone came in, they naturally noticed the small stool under the bookshelf, which was out of tune with the atmosphere of the entire study, and they were all puzzled.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">The stool used by His Royal Highness Prince Ding is quite unique, huh... ?</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Although everyone was puzzled, no one dared to say anything.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The atmosphere was dead silent. No one dared to speak, and even dared not breathe too hard, for fear of being noticed by Xiao Nong.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
In the dead silence, Xiao Nong suddenly said**: "I recently got a painting, but unfortunately no one has ever appreciated it. Today is a coincidence, so I will appreciate it with you all."**
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Everyone was confused after hearing this.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Appreciating paintings?</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
When entering Changliu Vi before, the person who had said "Who doesn''t have a few masterpieces at home? It''s so boring to appreciate paintings" huddled together and dared not speak.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng also blinked in confusion.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Then, a sense of inappropriate expectation arose in his heart.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">This is a collection of paintings by His Royal Highness Prince Ding. It must be a masterpiece by a famous artist or a scroll handed down from generation to generation. Ordinary people will not have the opportunity to see it.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">He observed carefully and secretly learned from the masters, maybe he could make a breakthrough in his painting skills!</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong nced at everyone''s reactions, said nothing, and pped his hands.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
A secret guard appeared out of nowhere, holding a scroll carefully, and walked to Xiao Nong.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Seeing how carefully the people around Xiao Nong treated the painting, Zhong Yansheng''s heart began to beat fast, and he became more and more expectant.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong''s gaze paused on Zhong Yansheng for a few moments, and he leisurely ordered, <strong>"Open it."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The secret guard responded and slowly unfolded the scroll.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
A beautiful painting of birds perching on winter plum blossoms slowly unfolds before your eyes.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The moment he saw the content clearly, Zhong Yansheng felt like he was struck by lightning and his eyes went dark.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Isn''t this his painting?</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">A painting from his pen, one that he is so familiar with!</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">The night before he went to see Meng Qiping, Zhong Yansheng had framed the painting. He had nned toe to Changliu Vi after meeting Meng Qiping, give the painting to his brother in person, and say something from his heart...</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">As a result, an ident happened. He was exhausted and hurriedly abandoned the carriage and fled. Only afterward did he remember that the painting was still in the carriage, but he did not dare toe back to look for it.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Actually, actually it was brought back by His Highness Prince Ding?</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Others did not expect that Xiao Nong really meant to appreciate the painting. After looking at each other for a while, they swallowed their saliva and boldly ttered him: <strong>"It is really a masterpiece!"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<strong>"It is worthy of being the collection of His Royal Highness Prince Ding. I have never seen such beautiful brushstrokes. It must be the work of a master."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<strong>"I have a room at home that is dedicated to collecting calligraphy and paintings, but I have never seen such stunning paintings. Today is really an eye-opener and a feast for the eyes!"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<strong>"Miracle, miracle!"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng: <strong>“…………”</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Every bit of ttery came from His Royal Highness Prince Ding andnded on Zhong Yansheng.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Almost in an instant, Zhong Yansheng''s face turned red from his neck to his face. His fingers were tangled together under his wide sleeves. He was so ashamed that he wanted to crawl into the ground immediately. He was filled with grief and anger.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Stop, stop bragging.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Can these people please stop bragging?</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng loved painting since he was a child, but he always did things slowly, especially painting. He was slow and didn''t paint much. Except for the two paintings that were sold, he painted the rest for his own entertainment. He would be very happy if his teachers and family members praised him with a few words.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">I''ve never been boasted like that in person by anyone.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">If he wasn''t afraid of being caught by Xiao Nong, he would have wanted to jump up, snatch the painting and run away.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong leaned against the bookshelf with his arms folded, listening to the others'' exaggerations, looking quite pleased. Seeing Zhong Yansheng''sck of reaction, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, <strong>"Young Master Zhong, why don''t you say anything? What do you think of this painting of mine?"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng''s skin was as thin as a piece of paper and would break with a slight poke. <em ss="chakra-text css-0">How could he brag about his own paintings like others did?</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">He definitely can''t brag about himself.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
He choked for a while, and said in a dry tone: <strong>"Your Highness, I feel that this painting,pared with the works of the masters, still has many shorings..."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<strong>"Oh?"</strong> Xiao Nong raised his voice slightly, <strong>"Tell me, what''s missing?"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng thought hard and answered seriously: <strong>"It''s still a little immature, not as mature, full, rounded and calm as the works of the masters."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<strong>"Really?"</strong> Xiao Nong raised a vague smile with a deep meaning, <strong>"From what I see, I like it very much."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether to be happy or scared.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">His Royal Highness Prince Ding actually likes his paintings?</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Seeing Zhong Yansheng''s voice getting smaller and smaller, Xiao Wen felt pitiful and his sympathy for the naive boy started to overflow again. He couldn''t help but speak up for him: <strong>"Brother, who gave you this painting? Howe I''ve never seen it before? There''s not even a seal on it."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong looked at him coldly and said slowly, <strong>"Some time ago, a little bird flew into my yard."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Everyone immediately fell silent and listened to Xiao Nong quietly.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<strong>"It was a beautiful but timid little bird. I kept it for a few days, but it suddenly flew away."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng was a little confused after hearing the first sentence, but only realized what Xiao Nong meant by "little bird" after hearing the second sentence. His earlobes turned red and almost bled.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
But the others didn''t understand.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Wen asked on behalf of everyone in daze: <strong>"So, cousin, what is the rtionship between this painting and the bird that came to your yard?"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong''s eyes turned to the painting of birds perched on plum trees next to him. His fingertips fell on the painting, and his slender fingers slowly stroked the chubby bird in the middle for a few times. He said in a neutral tone, <strong>"Before the heartless little bird flew away, it brought this painting with it."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The little bird felt as if its non-existent wings were suddenly pinched, and it dared not make a sound.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
After hearing this bizarre experience, everyone didn''t know how to respond for a moment. However, a young man in blue who had been silent before suddenly muttered to himself in confusion: <strong>"This painting..."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone, including Xiao Nong, looked at him.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng looked at him and felt that he looked familiar. It took him a while to recognize that this was the man Xiao Wen had been so nervous about poking with his fan when they met Xiao Nong on the street before. Later, when they went to Jiuxiang Tower, this man helped him out of trouble with Meng Qiping.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<strong>"Uh..."</strong> Suddenly being stared at by Xiao Nong''s eyes that were different from those of ordinary people, the young man in blue froze and spoke uncertainly, <strong>"Your Highness, I see that the brushstrokes and style of this painting seem to be painted by ''Mr. Chunsong''."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng: <strong>“…”</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Howe anyone has seen his paintings!!!</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong said softly, <strong>"Mr. Chunsong?"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<strong>"Yes,st year when I went to Nanjing with my mother to visit my aunt, I apanied my uncle to meet an old friend and saw the paintings of Mr. Chunsong collected by that family. Because the style and brushwork are very distinctive, I remember it clearly."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The young man in green said this bravely, and suddenly seemed to remember something, looking at Zhong Yansheng who was wearing a veil and hiding behind the crowd: <strong>"It is said that Mr. Chunsong was born in Gusu. I remember that Young Master Zhong came from there, so he should have heard of it, right?"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng never thought that this could happen to him. He was stunned for a few moments and said with difficulty: <strong>"I''ve heard of it."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong raised the corner of his mouth: <strong>"I didn''t know that this painting was made by Mr. Chunsong."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng closed his eyes in despair.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<strong>"Since we are all from Gusu."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong spoke slowly while taking a step forward and walking towards Zhong Yansheng.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
He took a step forward, and the others immediately retreated three feet, leaving Zhong Yansheng alone. His eyes darkened as he was shrouded in a tall shadow. <strong>"I guess the young master knows a lot about Mr. Chunsong."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng really wanted to twist off the blue-clothed young man''s head and kick it like a ball.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<strong>"I''m not sure either,"</strong> Zhong Yansheng suddenly had an idea in his panic, <strong>"but I heard that... Mr. Chunsong is an old man."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong paused, then repeated with a half-smile: <strong>"Old man?"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng gritted his teeth and said firmly: <strong>"Old man."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Xiao Nong must not be allowed to know that Mr. Chunsong is Yuan Yuan. Prince Ding is obviously interested in him. If it is confirmed that Yuan Yuan is from Gusu, and he is also from Gusu, it would be too coincidental. Prince Ding might send someone to investigate him.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">The Huai''an Marquis family has only recently returned to the capital, so even if Xiao Nong wanted to investigate, he wouldn''t be able to find out anything. But if he went to Gusu to investigate, he would be doomed.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">It would be better to say that Mr. Chunsong was an old man and that the painting was bought from afar to discourage Xiao Nong.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Sure enough, Xiao Nong just gave a smile with no discernible meaning, withdrew his gaze, and did not ask any more questions.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng breathed a sigh of relief and felt deeply that this move he made was absolutely correct.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">It''s absolutely seamless and perfect!</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Just as he felt relieved, he saw Xiao Nong turn around and raise his hand to collect the painting. His loose sleeves slid down, revealing a bright red forehead band wrapped around the ck sleeve of his left hand, which was dazzling and eye-catching.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">It''s his headband.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The red headband was tied to his wrists that night and thrown on the ground the next day, and he dared not even look at it.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The feeling of being tied up on his wrists seemed toe back again, and Zhong Yansheng''s head was buzzing.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">The teeth mark on the side of his neck were disgraceful enough, so why did His Royal Highness Prince Ding still keep something like this wrapped around his wrist?</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Does that mean he is determined to settle the score with him?</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng couldn''t bear it any longer at this moment. He felt that he couldn''t stay in Changliu Vi any longer. He said in a panic, <strong>"Your Highness, I suddenly remembered that I have something important to do at home. I''m afraid I have to leave first."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong stared at him. His deep blue eyes were expressionless but full of pressure. <strong>"Want to go back?"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng felt like he was back on the branch that was about to break, trembling, afraid that Xiao Nong would detain him: <strong>"... Yeah."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<strong>"Okay."</strong> Unexpectedly, Xiao Nong rxed and then asked, <strong>"When will youe to apologize?"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng almost forgot about this.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
He secretly nced at the dozen or so people around him with different expressions, and thought, since everyone wasing to apologize together, he shouldn''t be very conspicuous.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Well, leave it.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Thinking about it, his heart fell back to where it was, and he said hesitantly: <strong>"Wait until His Highness is convenient."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nongughed: <strong>"It''s convenient for me anytime."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
When he smiled, everyone felt nervous. Seeing that Zhong Yansheng seemed to be discussing the next date of their meeting with His Royal Highness Prince Ding, they were all full of admiration.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">Warrior, when you saw His Royal Highness Prince Ding, you didn''t run away, but instead thought of paying him a visit.</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng didn''t notice the strange atmosphere and hesitated for a while: <strong>"Then let''s wait for another two days."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<strong>"Can."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong nodded with satisfaction and pped his hands.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
A rumbling sound was then heard, and the secret guards outside pushed in a very familiar wheelchair.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng looked at the wheelchair, and thought of how he had secretlymented several times that Xiao Nong was disabled but determined, and he felt very embarrassed.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
However, <em ss="chakra-text css-0">His Royal Highness Prince Ding doesn''t need a wheelchair now, so what is the point of pushing this over?</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Just as he was wondering, Zhong Yansheng heard Xiao Nong say, <strong>"Sit down."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
It is an unquestionable tone.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng hesitated and obediently sat in the wheelchair, still dazed.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Using the same wheelchair, Xiao Nong was calm andposed when sitting on it, even when he looked up at people, it was as if he was looking down on them from a high vantage point.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
When Zhong Yansheng sat on it, he looked small, pitiful and cute.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<em ss="chakra-text css-0">I don''t know whether to say this child is well-behaved or not?</em>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong''s face was expressionless: <strong>"Send Young Master Zhong back."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng was pushed away in confusion, and the others quickly followed suit and found excuses to leave.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Wen was afraid that everyone would leave, and Xiao Nong would teach him a lesson, so he mixed in with the crowd and followed them away stealthily.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
If the people below hadn''te to urgently report today that Xiao Wen had taken people to Taxue''s yard to make trouble, Xiao Nong would not have returned to Changliu Vi.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
By chance, Xiao Nong met Zhong Yansheng again and decided to let Xiao Wen go this time.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
He leaned against the door, watching the young man in the veil being pushed away, and gently rubbed the forehead band on his wrist.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The two secret guards nearby noticed something unusual in Xiao Nong''s words and actions. After everyone left, they spoke up, <strong>"Master, do you suspect that the young master of the Huai''an Marquis'' Mansion is Young Master Yuan Yuan?"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong did notment: <strong>"Prepare the carriage."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<strong>"Yes! Where are you going, Master?"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<strong>"Dali Temple."</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The Duke of Pei had been crying to the old emperor for two days in a row. The Duke''s wife went to the pce early this morning and cried to Meng Qiping''s aunt.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The old emperor was probably tired of the constant crying, and he issued an edict a few hours ago, asking Xiao Nong to go to the Dali Temple and cooperate with the investigation of the Dali Temple officials.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Zhong Yansheng''s father, Marquis Huai''an, was transferred back to Beijing and took up the position of Shaoqing of the Dali Temple.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The letter from the Huai''an Marquis''s Mansion would not be presented until at least the evening, so Xiao Nong decided to meet the Huai''an Marquis first.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Although His Majesty ordered the Dali Temple to investigate Xiao Nong, the officials of the Dali Temple pondered His Majesty''s indifferent tone and guessed that His Majesty probably did not intend to make a decision for the Duke of Pei, and even wanted to protect Xiao Nong. He was just trying to fool the Meng family with a superficial effort.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
His Royal Highness Prince Ding was a terrifying existence, so how could they dare to send people to detain Xiao Nong? They were anxious for a whole day about how to apologize in Prince Ding''s mansion.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Unexpectedly, around the hour of You, His Royal Highness Prince Ding came in person.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
<strong>[Hour of You = 5 to 7 pm]</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
The Dali Temple was in chaos.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Marquis Huai''an was buried in front of his desk, flipping through files. When he heard the news, before he could even look up from his desk, His Royal Highness Prince Ding had already arrived in front of him.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
He was wearing a bright red python robe and walking as fast as the wind. When he stopped in front of his desk, his eyes suddenly fell on a corner, his gaze deep and dark.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Marquis Huai''an had never dealt with this famous evil spirit of Dayong. When he saw Xiao Nonging to the Dali Temple and heading straight for him, his heart sank. He stood up to greet him without showing it, and said, <strong>"I don''t know why His Royal Highness Prince Ding hase. I''m sorry for not weing you. Is His Royal Highness Prince Ding here for... Your Highness?"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong turned a deaf ear to his words, his eyes fixed on the Tian Huang stone seal that Huai''an Marquis had ced aside. He suddenly bent down, picked it up, put it in his hand, squinted his eyes, carefully looked at the material and quality against the light, and slowly stroked it a few times.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
It is translucent, smooth to the touch, and almost exactly the same as the one he carries with him.
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Seeing that the seal given to him by Zhong Yansheng was picked up by Xiao Nong for no apparent reason, Marquis Huai''an was furious and said solemnly, <strong>"Your Highness Prince Ding, this is my personal property. Please return it!"</strong>
<hr aria-orientation="horizontal" ss="chakra-divider css-mb99j7">
Xiao Nong raised his eyelids and said in a light voice: <strong>"May I ask, Lord Marquis, who gave you this jade stone?"</strong>
