What Bad Intentions can the Yandere Crown Prince have?-Chapter 330 - 326: Master Qin’s Attire Pairs Well with Second Miss Tang
How could Miss Tang do things that would allow others to catch her words?
She glanced sideways at Tang Xiaobai, and said proudly, "How could I not come to personally see Li Xingyuan fall to such a state?"
Tang Xiaobai said it in a low voice, and the pedestrians were far apart, so no one heard it.
But Tang Jiaojiao’s voice was raised high with her head held high, so not only did the pedestrians hear it clearly, but even Li Xingyuan, who was about to exit the city gate, heard it plainly.
He suddenly turned his head to look, and the morning sun just reflected into his eyes, shining brightly.
He spurred his horse to take a few steps towards Tang Jiaojiao, stopped, and stared straight at her, without making a sound.
Tang Jiaojiao also tightened the reins, watching him silently.
As they looked at each other, her eyes gradually reddened.
That day in front of the Imperial Court, he naturally had to confess, if he didn’t, it would mean she was falsely accusing him.
But by confessing, he almost lost his entire family business.
Zhenzhou’s twenty years of management, an army of 160,000 soldiers, the title of Prince Changshan, and the merits of pacifying Mosen and the Northern Desert were all gone.
The words Tang Jiaojiao had prepared got stuck in her throat, unable to come out.
Seeing her eyes redden, Li Xingyuan became anxious and was about to move forward.
At this moment, a small red horse ran out with a "da-da-da" sound and half-blocked in front of Tang Jiaojiao. The girl in a smoke-purple riding outfit on the horse raised her eyebrows and sneered, "Li Xingyuan! You’ve finally met your match!"
The sweet voice was like a pot of cold water poured over his head, instantly waking Li Xingyuan up, and he reined in his horse.
"He not only has today, but he also has tomorrow!" Another person walked out from behind Li Xingyuan.
Because he was exiled from the Capital City, although Li Xingyuan still had the title of Marquis Luquan, he left in a low-profile manner, with only Qin Xiao seeing him off.
As it happened, Qin Xiao was also dressed in purple today. His figure was slender like a girl’s, and his face was so beautiful that it was difficult to distinguish between male or female.
Abandoning the female persona, his smiling demeanor carried a bit of a frivolous air: "Is Miss Tang here specifically to see Mr. Li off?"
"Li Xingyuan is exiled from the Capital, surely this lifetime he won’t have the chance to return, so of course, I have to come personally to see him off!" Although Tang Jiaojiao’s eyes were still red, her face now bore a cold smile, looking as if enemies were meeting again, with a special intensity.
Li Xingyuan grinned: "Rest assured! I will definitely return!"
Tang Jiaojiao pulled at the corner of her mouth: "Then I’ll be waiting!"
Li Xingyuan gave her a deep look, turned back, cupped his fist towards Qin Xiao, and rode away.
The sunlight formed beams, gradually obscuring the departing figure.
This demotion of Li Xingyuan was actually a good thing.
After several rounds of maneuvering, Li Xingyuan’s place of exile was finally set for Liangzhou.
Liangzhou is Tang Family’s territory.
Her father and brothers had rendered outstanding service in Liangzhou.
Because of this, they analyzed, at least her father would never return to Liangzhou, as the Court would not dare let him continue to build his influence there.
Even Tang Ziqian, whether he could return or not, was uncertain.
And Liangzhou always needs someone to take over.
Li Xingyuan was the most suitable candidate.
So Tang Xiaobai did not feel too sad, quickly retracting her gaze, holding the reins, thinking of having the horse kick up its hooves to remind her sister.
"Junior Sister Tang..." Qin Xiao spurred his horse and approached her with a smile.
He used special medication to alter his voice when he used to disguise himself as a woman, now that he stopped using it, his voice returned to its normal male tone, a low, magnetic voice that made Tang Xiaobai’s ears tingle.
She couldn’t help rubbing her ears, calling out "Senior Brother Qin," her tone distant and cold.
It wasn’t entirely a pretense.
Since the first day of the lunar month until now, she hadn’t seen Qin Xiao for more than half a month.
And seeing him today, he felt a bit unfamiliar.
Qin Xiao seemed unaware of her deliberate aloofness, his eyes examined her from head to toe, eventually landing on her ankle, lazily asking, "Haven’t seen Junior Sister for a while, why haven’t you returned to the academy yet?"
Tang Xiaobai shook her leg and was about to reply.
"Still not leaving?" Tang Jiaojiao interrupted their conversation, pulling the reins and walking between the two, giving Qin Xiao a disdainful glance, "A person neither male nor female, why bother dealing with him?"
Qin Xiao’s face froze instantly.
Tang Xiaobai wanted to laugh but felt embarrassed to, giving Qin Xiao an apologetic look, she sprinted forward to catch up with Tang Jiaojiao, whispering, "Sister, that was a bit much..."
"What was too much?" Tang Jiaojiao’s voice was not lowered in the slightest, even turning around to glance at Qin Xiao, "Wasn’t it excessive when he disguised himself as a woman to take advantage of others?"
Qin Xiao chuckled angrily: "Miss, you should speak with your conscience, did I ever take advantage of you?"
Tang Jiaojiao coldly snorted: "Are you capable of doing so? Do you dare to swear that you never took advantage of others by pretending to be a woman?"
Qin Xiao let out a "huh," just about to speak, suddenly paused, glanced at Tang Xiaobai, his eyes flickering.
Tang Xiaobai: ...
Why is he looking at her?
What does this have to do with her?
She wasn’t taken advantage of at all!
But then say something!
"I did not!" Seeing Miss Tang’s face change, Tang Xiaobai had no choice but to explain herself.
"Didn’t what?" Tang Jiaojiao looked like a storm was brewing.
"I wasn’t taken advantage of!" Glared at Qin Xiao.
Hurry up and clarify!
"No." Qin Xiao started to smile.
His beauty was striking, and a smile was like a flower about to bloom.
Yet before it fully blossomed, it froze on his face.
Tang Xiaobai followed his gaze—
An elegant horse, a gentleman in green robes.
The grace that emerged from wealth and privilege, stained the brows, soaked in the eyes, etched into the bones.
His hands clasped in a bow, a common greeting, yet performed by him, exuded unusual ease and elegance.
In the Capital City filled with aristocratic families, at the summit among them, were the Xue and Pei Families.
Xue’s tenth son, much like Pei’s ninth son, were the brightest sons of their lineage.
In terms of outstanding demeanor, even though Tang Xiaobai was Pei Xuan’s junior sister, she had to admit that Xue Shaojian was far above Pei Xuan.
Due to the number of people they encountered at once, Xue Shaojian did not speak, only lifted the corners of his lips into a well-proportioned smile, his gaze passing over the three of them, finally landing on Qin Xiao’s face.
Perhaps it was an illusion, but Tang Xiaobai vaguely saw a slight shadow in his eyes.
But—
What does this have to do with her?
Tang Xiaobai exchanged a few pleasantries with Xue Shaojian, not without a schadenfreude smile, waved goodbye to Qin Xiao: "You two take your time chatting!"
Qin Xiao rarely did not pay attention to her, even showing a cold demeanor, as if he did not know her well.
But Xue Shaojian continuously wore a smile as he watched Tang Xiaobai walk away.
"I still remember the first time meeting Master Qin, Master Qin was also laughing and chatting with Second Miss Tang—" Xue Shaojian said softly, his tone carrying a tint of nostalgic sigh.
Qin Xiao sneered, lightly said, "Is that so? I don’t remember."
Xue Shaojian smiled slightly, looking at him: "I remember," his gaze flicked over Qin Xiao, deepening his smile, "Master Qin’s attire today quite complements Second Miss Tang..."
