Tang Ziyu gave a bitter smile, “In fact, I can hardly say that I can wait for you, because I don’t know how much time I will have here. Maybe I won’t be here tomorrow.” Situ Ping embraced her, ’Do you remember when Mu hao went crazy? In that room, no one could stop him, and I didn’t hurry back. He raped you. When I rushed back then, someone told me that you kept calling my name. At that time, my heart was broken. At that time, I thought, the last time I didn’t step in to kill my big brother, so Yuejuan died, and this time I saved Mu Xiaotian, but you became the second Yuejuan. I really hated myself, so that day I really wanted to die with you. Just that day I knew that I really loved you. But then I saw you crying, and realised that you loved me too. So I thought, as long as we are still alive, no matter how many difficulties we encounter, we can still be together!’ “Yes, as long as we are still alive.” “Little Pepper, no matter what happens, remember what we said today, we must stay alive, until the day when we can be together forever!” Situ Ping was moved, his voice even shaking a little. The little woman in his arms had already been sobbing uncontrollably.
Everyone in the Situ household was busy that day, tidying up and preparing to return to the capital. Mu Xiaotian directed his brothers in getting ready to return to Xiaoyun Villa. That day, Tang Ziyu slept in Situ Ping’s arms, feeling that if she just didn’t wake up, then Situ wouldn’t go. But the sky always brightened, and Mu Xiaotian woke her up. Situ Ping was already on the road before dawn. Tang Ziyu ate some breakfast under the watchful eye of Mu Xiaotian. If she wasn’t wearing men’s clothing, Mu Xiaotian would have really wanted to feed her himself. She insisted on riding a horse herself and refused to ride in a carriage, saying that she wanted to be a martial artist for a while. But Mu Xiaotian knew that she was just trying not to cry. It’s one thing to have had riding training and quite another to actually ride a horse and hurry along. So Tang Ziyu really suffered a lot before she arrived at Xiaoyun Villa.
Tang Ziyu felt like a super idiot, thinking that she could ride a horse and travel on it. She really had no idea what kind of training these people around her had received, and they were completely fine, while she was the only one suffering. Sigh, how could modern people possibly tolerate the lifestyle of ancient people? I really don’t know how those sisters who also travelled back in time survived. Wearing men’s clothes was a bit more convenient, but for her it was still a lot of trouble. While others could just open their chests when they got hot, she had to wear several layers of cloth on her chest. It made her so hot that she kept drinking water, drinking up all the water for herself and the wood, not to mention Yue Qing’s as well.
Yue Qing seemed to know from the beginning who she was, so he was annoyed when he saw her and never spoke to her. He would stay as far away from her as possible. Sometimes when other people were chatting with her and laughing, he would definitely say something to make everyone disperse. To be honest, even the wood didn’t object, so why did he care about her? Even if she did something wrong, he shouldn’t be so cold to her like this!
It wasn’t like she was to blame. She had just gone to a secluded place to relieve herself, and as soon as she stood up, she saw him standing up from the river naked. Oh my god, she had to lower her head and blush, not daring to say a word. ‘Who’s there?’ Yue Qing still found her, but he also noticed that the other person did not look murderous, so he simply put on his outer garment before asking.
‘It’s me, Tang… Tang Zihan.’ She stepped out half a step with her head bowed, but glanced at him. Why did Yue Qing look like he wanted to kill her? Even if he knew that she was originally a woman, he shouldn’t have made things difficult for himself like this! “I didn’t mean to come here. I…” Tang Ziyu looked at his gloomy face with a guilty heart, quickly bowed her head, and inadvertently saw that in the moonlight, his chest and breasts were standing upright, pink and very beautiful. Feeling curious, she couldn’t help but glance at him again. Few people had such delicate skin, and besides, he was such a handsome man that anyone who saw him would take a second look.
‘If you look again, I’ll take your eyes out so they can look all they want!’ Yue Qing said viciously, scaring Tang Ziyu so much that she fell to the ground in the grass, but she remembered Yue Qing’s words and firmly closed her eyes. Yue Qing looked at her dishevelled appearance and felt both amused and angry. So he ignored her and walked away.
It took half a day before Tang Ziyu dared to open her eyes. Fortunately, he had already gone. However, from that day on, Yue Qing’s attitude towards her began to become even more severe. In the end, even Mu Xiaoyun could not bear to watch anymore and could not help but ask Yue Qing to be kinder to her. Tang Ziyu naturally knew that she had done something wrong and did not dare say much. She just felt that it was better to be the second in command than to be herself. This world is too difficult to get along in.
Xiao Yun Villa is actually not very far from Qilin Mountain. Everyone waited two days to return to take care of her. As soon as they entered the villa, the fourth and third sons came up to greet them. Mu Xiaotian briefly introduced Tang Ziyu, now Tang Zihan, the cousin of Situ, to everyone, and they all thanked Tang Ziyu together. ‘Big brother, tomorrow night, let’s get together to celebrate your return and your birthday,’ the third son said briefly.
‘Whatever, Zihan and I live together in Qingxue Garden, you can just take her things over there.’ “Qingxue Garden? I think it’s better for Tang Gongzi to go to Lanyue Building,” Lao San suggested. Lanyue Building is specially for guests to stay, and now the two guests of the Murong family and several dancers he invited are all staying there.
‘She is my rescuer, not a guest. Besides, she doesn’t know martial arts. The guests at the Moon Tower are too complicated and it’s too dangerous for her. Besides, Mr. Situ specifically asked me to bring her here to protect her.’
‘But it’s not quite in line with the rules for him to live in Qingxue Garden, and these days, Miss Lan has been living there.‘ That was Mu Xiaotian’s concubine. Although there was no ceremony, she had always been Mu Xiaotian’s woman. Since Mu Xiaotian had disappeared, Miss Lan had been living there, saying that she wanted to remain chaste for Mu Xiaotian. Everyone had started treating her as his sister-in-law from that day onwards.
’Tell her to move out now,’ Mu Xiaotian said coldly. Tang Ziyu looked at his face suspiciously. Who was that woman?
‘Big brother, I think it would be better if you let Mr. Tang move into the Dragon Capture Courtyard, and we brothers will protect him together!’ The fourth brother spoke without fear of death.
Mu Xiaotian glanced at the crowd, “Do you really think I’m dead?” After saying this, he sat down in a chair and said nothing. The others immediately became scared to death, and someone quickly went to move out Miss Lan’s things and move in Mr. Tang Ziyu’s things, without anyone saying another word. In this Xiao Yun Villa, there can only be one person in charge: Mu Xiaotian.
When Mu Xiaotian brought Tang Ziyu to the Qingxue Garden, she saw a woman dressed in her best clothes standing in the doorway. It seemed that she had dressed up especially for Mu Xiaotian. When she saw him, she walked a few steps to meet him, her eyes shining with tears: ‘Master, you’ve finally returned!’
Mu Xiaotian placed a hand on her shoulder so that she could not throw herself into his arms: ‘Xiangying, you go back first, I’m tired.’ After saying that, he walked in alone. Tang Ziyu looked at the woman apologetically and followed her in. Lan Xiangying nodded politely and walked away with her head down.
After entering the room, someone immediately brought her water to bathe. She told everyone to leave and took off her clothes to soak in the water. Sigh, she was used to living in the Situ family’s house, where the servants were all highly trained. So she was called ‘young master’ when she wore men’s clothing and ‘young lady’ when she wore women’s clothing. She was called ‘young master’ no matter what. But here, she was Tang Zihan. She really didn’t know when she would be able to adapt to life here.
Before she knew it, she was feeling a little drowsy. Suddenly, a strong arm fished her out of the water, and she opened her eyes. It was Mu Xiaotian. She automatically put her arms around his neck and leaned into his arms. Mu Xiaotian kissed her, then carried her to the bed and said, ‘Yu, sleepy?’ Tang Ziyu narrowed her eyes at him, ‘Then wake me up!’ She knew that the man in front of her had been holding back for several days.
