Ming smiled and nodded: "If not, then there won't be."
She obviously followed her words, but Tang Xi was even more depressed - she was holding her words in her heart and couldn't say them out!
Mingwei felt a little regretful: "There should be wine at this time, but it's a pity that I came here as a thief tonight, so I didn't expect this."
After hearing her mention it, Tang Xi remembered and asked: "Being a thief? There is nothing to steal here, right?"
"Yes, Miss Ling left in a hurry, so she would definitely have left something behind."
Tang Xi was confused: "What do you want her things for?"
"I can't explain this to you. In short, I am not trying to harm your Tang family."
"...That's not what I meant."
This woman really doesn't know how to chat. Tang Xi rubbed his face and asked her: "Miss Mingqi is also in a bad mood?"
Mingwei raised his head to look at the moon and replied softly: "No!"
"Your smile is a bit forced." Tang Xi said, "Is there any emotion that goes against reason?"
Mingwei didn't expect him to be so sharp.
She was indeed in a bad mood. Ever since Mingxiao happened, she had been in a bad mood for the past few days.
"You can tell me about it," Tang Xi tried his best to sound kind, "It's a courtesy, you listen to my troubles, and I will help you solve them."
Mingwei knew he was fighting back, but...
She thought for a while and asked: "Master Shi, I want to ask a question. I hope I'm not too presumptuous."
"Please tell me."
"You children of aristocratic families should be instilled in you since childhood with the concept of giving everything for the prosperity of your family, right? If, I mean if, your family abandoned you for some reason, would you feel that the meaning of life is
All lost?”
Tang Xi thought about it carefully: "It should be very sad, but without personal experience, I don't know how sad it will be."
He looked at Mingwei: "Is Miss Mingqi feeling sad that no one has come to Nanchu to save you?"
Mingwei said nothing.
Tang Xi thought he had guessed it right, so he pretended to test: "Is there some secret behind this marriage? Then the King of Yue is attracted by you, so he shouldn't be so ruthless, right?"
Ming slightly rolled his eyes at him: "Master Tang Shi has regained his mood so quickly? It seems he doesn't like Miss Ling much either!"
Tang Xi was a little embarrassed: "I'm talking about you, what are you doing to me?"
Mingwei laughed: "If Master Shi probes me like this, it will make me think wrong. After all, I am no worse than Miss Ling in any way, right?"
Tang Xi was speechless for a while, then said dullly: "You are a woman, what are you talking about..."
"What about women? This is just a normal expression. Isn't it the same for Miss Ling? If she likes Master Shi, she can just say it, and I don't see her feeling stuffy in her heart."
"..."
Ming smiled and patted his shoulder: "Although such advice is often useless, for the sake of Master Shi taking good care of me, I still say this. Miss Ling and you are not from the same world. Although she likes you,
But I don’t necessarily think much about you. Unless one day, what she is doing has results, and she can be allowed to be distracted, maybe she will rob you..."
"Miss Mingqi!"
Ming Wei couldn't help laughing: "With a look like Master Shi's, he's more than enough to be the village's prime minister."
Tang Xi regretted it very much. He shouldn't have said it, but luckily he didn't say too much.
"Okay, it's getting late, so Master Shi should go back and rest. Shall I see you off?"
After talking nonsense for a while, Tang Xi felt relieved. He saw that it was really getting late, so he didn't object.
Mingwei took him off the roof and sent him to the entrance of Lanxinyuan.
"I'm going to continue being a thief, and I asked Master Shi to pretend that I didn't come here at all tonight."
"..." Tang Xi saluted and whispered, "Thank you very much."
Mingwei watched him leave before returning to Lan Xinyuan to look for clues.
What she didn't know was that Mrs. Tang was not asleep at this time either.
She sat in front of the window, thinking about Tang Xi and worrying.
As she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw someone walking around in the nearby Lanxinyuan. She asked Bai Ling: "Who is in Lanxinyuan in the middle of the night?"
At this time, Mingwei sent Tang Xi out, and the night light at the door shone on them.
Bai Ling said uncertainly: "It seems... Master Ten and Miss Mingqi? Oh, Master Ten has gone back."
Mrs. Tang's expression changed slightly: "This is in the middle of the night..."
Bai Ling thought of the previous rumors and hurriedly said: "Perhaps Master Ten is in trouble? I heard that Miss Mingqi helped with what happened last time..."
Having said this, Bai Ling himself felt powerless.
What's the explanation for a man and a woman alone meeting in a deserted courtyard in the middle of the night? But the old lady obviously didn't like it.
Mrs. Tang was silent for a while and said: "Go to the kitchen to make some midnight snacks and send them to Xiao Shi."
"yes."
Not long after Tang Xi returned to the house, he received a loving late-night snack from his mother.
He asked in confusion: "How does mother know that I'm not asleep yet?"
Bai Ling lowered his head and replied: "Master Shi has not been sleeping well recently, how could the old lady not know? The old lady asked the slave to say something, Master 10, go to bed early and don't delay it too late."
Tang Xi thanked her and sent her out personally.
Seeing his calm expression, Bai Ling was not sure whether they had a private meeting or not.
Regardless of the truth, Mrs. Tang made up her mind because of this.
Mingwei heard about it the next day and was very surprised: "Didn't the old lady go back to her ancestral home to take care of her old age? Why are she planning to go to Kyoto again? How can she bear the exhaustion of traveling all the way?"
While packing her things, Xue Ying said, "Originally, yes, but Master Ten is not like this... The old lady wants to return to Kyoto to show off to Master Ten again!"
"Oh." Mingwei nodded, that's understandable.
"So, Master Shi will also go back?"
Xue Ying replied: "Master Ten has a responsibility, even if there is no such thing, he still has to go back."
"What about the second young master?"
Xue Ying thought for a moment: "I've never heard of that."
She asked in a low voice: "Miss Mingqi, you came back with the old lady. Now the old lady is going back to Beijing. Should you go and ask?"
Mingwei nodded: "I really have to ask."
"Would this slave accompany you?"
"No need." Mingwei's expression didn't change, "You clean up first, just a little way away."
She rejected Xue Ying and went back to Tang Shao.
It doesn't matter whether the old lady leaves or not. What matters is whether Second Young Master Tang leaves.
If she wants to wait and see, she has to follow this trend.
Tang Shao heard the report, and for some reason, his mood suddenly improved.
He asked: "What if I don't go to Kyoto or stay, but plan to continue traveling?"
Ming smiled and said: "Of course I will go with the second young master. Wherever you go, I will go."
Tang Shao's lips curled up: "I thought Miss Ming Qi would take the opportunity to return to Northern Qi."
Mingwei said: "I can go back to Northern Qi anytime. It would be a pity if I miss the second son of Tang Dynasty!"
"..."
"How's it going? Where do you plan to go, Second Young Master?"
Tang Shao said: "I haven't been back to Kyoto for a long time, so it's really time to go and have a look." (To be continued)
