My family has been wielding knives for generations, but now it's my turn to wield a pen!

"..."

Inside the carriage, Tang Ningshuang looked at Jiang Xiaobai, her face clearly showing helplessness.

This guy was all so honest just now, but now he's talking like this!

What do you mean, "You're worried that Miss Li misses him too much"?

That's incredibly shameless!

Yes, she still didn't believe that Li Zhiwei would really fall for Jiang Xiaobai.

Even in the imperial court, Li Bingzhang personally admitted that his daughter and Jiang Xiaobai had secretly pledged their lives to each other.

But Tang Ningshuang still felt that there must be something strange about this.

According to her speculation, perhaps the Jiang family and the Prime Minister's residence had reached some kind of agreement.

This performance was staged for the emperor.

After all, who is Li Zhiwei? She is the most famous talented woman in the capital.

Jiang Xiaobai, on the other hand, is a notorious playboy in Beijing.

This talented woman and this playboy seem like an unlikely pair.

"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Prime Minister's residence!"

As Zhang Xinnian finished speaking, Tang Ningshuang was the first to get off the carriage.

She first glanced around to make sure nothing was amiss, then turned to the side and said, "Get down!"

"Miss Tang, there's really no need to be so nervous here at the Prime Minister's residence!"

As Jiang Xiaobai stepped down from the carriage, he looked at Tang Ningshuang and said something.

Tang Ningshuang remained silent after hearing this.

Jiang Xiaobai shrugged and led the way inside.

Since this wasn't his first time visiting the Prime Minister's residence, he was quite familiar with the place once inside.

When the servants of the Prime Minister's residence saw Jiang Xiaobai, they did not stop him. Some servants even bowed their heads in greeting.

Jiang Xiaobai responded with a smile to each of them.

They hadn't gone far when a shrill and impatient voice suddenly came from behind them.

"You servants, don't you have any sense of propriety? Get out of the way!"

"Hmph, bring out your Minister Li and his daughter immediately! I have an imperial edict to deliver!"

Ok?

Jiang Xiaobai paused and looked back.

A young eunuch, accompanied by two guards, strode in from outside the Prime Minister's residence.

The young eunuch was well-dressed, with an arrogant air about him. He walked with his chin slightly raised and looked at people with impatience.

Meanwhile, the two guards beside the eunuch continued to rudely push aside the servants of the Prime Minister's residence.

This person doesn't look like they're here to deliver a message at all; they look more like they're here to cause trouble.

The servants of the Prime Minister's residence did not look too good, but after seeing that the other party was from the palace, they did not dare to easily cause trouble or stop them.

Soon, the young eunuch led his men to Jiang Xiaobai and his companions.

One of the guards glanced at Jiang Xiaobai and frowned: "Hmph, another one with no sense of propriety. Get out of the way!!"

As the guard spoke, he raised his hand to shove Jiang Xiaobai, but before his hand could even touch him, Jiang Xiaobai's voice rang out first: "Get him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xinnian moved and kicked out.

The guard didn't even have a chance to react before he was sent flying backward.

Another guard's expression changed, and he was about to draw his sword when Tang Ningshuang moved as well.

With a thrust of his sword, the hilt sent the guard flying, crashing heavily to the ground.

The two men clutched their chests, unable to get up for a long time.

For a moment, the courtyard fell silent, leaving only the young eunuch standing there in astonishment.

Clearly, he hadn't expected that all the men he brought would be wiped out in the blink of an eye.

"you……"

After regaining his senses, the young eunuch's expression changed. He took a step back and stared at Jiang Xiaobai: "How dare you!"

"I...I am a eunuch from the Princess's residence. I have come to the Prime Minister's residence today to convey the Princess's decree!"

As he spoke, the young eunuch glared angrily at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "Who do you think you are, daring to hit my people?"

"Oh……"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly: "This is Jiang Xiaobai, the young master."

As soon as those simple words were spoken, the young father-in-law's expression froze, and then the anger on his face subsided considerably.

"Ahem!"

The young eunuch quickly forced a smile, bowed, and said, "So it's Prince Jiang. I am Lu Feng, a close attendant of the Princess."

"Oh?"

Jiang Xiaobai was surprised and looked at the eunuch, saying, "So, just because someone is a member of the Princess's faction means they can run wild in the Prime Minister's residence?"

"this……"

Lu Feng's expression stiffened slightly, but he still spoke up, "Young Master Jiang, she's just a servant of the Prime Minister's residence. This... it's nothing, is it?"

"Oh? Then you must be a servant to me, right?"

Jiang Xiaobai raised an eyebrow slightly: "Then... can I slap you too?"

Lu Feng was stunned and before he could react, Jiang Xiaobai had already raised his hand.

Snapped!

A slap landed squarely on Lu Feng's face.

Lu Feng was slapped so hard that his head turned to the side, and a clear handprint quickly appeared on his face.

"I'll remember that. Be more polite when you come to the Prime Minister's residence next time."

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Lu Feng and said coldly, "This is the Prime Minister's residence, not the backyard of your Princess's residence."

"Yes, yes, I... I've got it."

Lu Feng nodded respectfully.

"Okay, just remember that."

Jiang Xiaobai smiled and looked at what Lu Feng was holding: "Here, didn't you come to deliver an imperial edict?"

"Come, I, the young master, also want to hear and see what the Princess really meant by deliberately having you put on this show."

"this……"

Upon hearing Jiang Xiaobai's words, Lu Feng's eyes flickered: "This humble one does not understand the young master's meaning!"

"have no idea?"

Jiang Xiaobai's expression flashed with a hint of mockery when he saw Lu Feng's behavior.

That's right, Lu Feng was making a lot of noise the moment he came in.

The feeling was as if they were afraid others wouldn't know how arrogant they were.

It was clearly intentional, a performance for show.

even……

He even suspected it was aimed at him!

After all, it was too much of a coincidence that these people arrived right after he came in.

As he pondered, footsteps sounded from behind him, and Li Bingzhang walked up with Li Zhiwei.

"Oh, son-in-law, you're here too!"

When Li Bingzhang came up, he naturally saw Jiang Xiaobai and was somewhat surprised.

Li Zhiwei followed beside Li Bingzhang, and her steps noticeably lightened when she saw Jiang Xiaobai.

Then she lowered her head slightly and gently held her dress in her hands.

His appearance looked somewhat unnatural.

Tang Ningshuang stood to the side, watching this scene with a somewhat surprised expression.

Miss Li's reaction... is definitely a bit off!

Jiang Xiaobai didn't pay much attention to that. He first greeted Li Bingzhang, then looked at Li Zhiwei and smiled, "Miss Li, did you miss me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Zhiwei blushed and raised her hand to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear: "No!"

"See...you lied again!"

Jiang Xiaobai said earnestly, "It's not good for a woman to lie!"

"Young Master Jiang, you...you can't talk to me like that!"

Li Zhiwei's heart pounded like a deer, and she immediately turned her head away, feigning anger.

How can this person be so annoying?!

"Ha ha!"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at Li Zhiwei's expression and burst into laughter twice.

For some reason, he now likes to shake this woman.

Li Bingzhang, standing beside him, also smiled.

He is now very satisfied with Jiang Xiaobai.

Therefore, he was naturally pleased to see the two of them like this.

"Eunuch Lu..."

After the laughter subsided, Jiang Xiaobai stopped joking and looked at Lu Feng, saying, "Everyone's here now!"

"Just say what's on your mind."
