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

Half an hour later.

Back in her room, the princess lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

That's right, as soon as you close your eyes, all you can see in your mind is Jiang Xiaobai and the image of her serving you.

"Jiang Xiaobai, you're driving me crazy!"

The eldest princess sat up in bed.

At this moment, her stunningly beautiful face was flushed crimson.

She even thought she had hidden it very well!

As a result, that bastard Jiang Xiaobai was exposed by Guanlan Tower.

So, behind her back... who knows how he might be laughing at her!

In her embarrassment and anger, the princess pulled the blanket up and covered her head.

But after a short while of quiet, her legs under the covers started kicking wildly again.

"Jiang Xiaobai, you just wait!!!"

……

The next day arrived.

Jiang Xiaobai got up early, pushed open the door, and came to the courtyard.

The early morning air at Longhu Mountain was still a bit chilly, with a faint scent of grass and trees in the air.

Occasionally, birdsong drifts from afar, its sound indescribably soothing.

Jiang Xiaobai stood in the courtyard, took a deep breath, and smiled.

"These mountains are truly teeming with life!"

Putting everything else aside, the air here is much fresher than in Beijing.

With a smile, Jiang Xiaobai noticed Chen Jian not far away.

Chen Jian had clearly gotten up earlier than him and was practicing his boxing in the courtyard.

Amidst the clash of fists and feet, the air was filled with whooshing sounds, and even the fallen leaves on the ground were swirling and turning.

Jiang Xiaobai watched with admiration.

This Chen Jian truly lives up to his reputation as a martial arts fanatic!

Just then, a door next to them opened, and Tang Ningshuang came out.

Jiang Xiaobai turned his head, just about to greet Tang Ningshuang, when he noticed that Tang Ningshuang's expression was obviously unnatural after seeing him, and her gaze quickly looked away.

"Tang..."

"Don't ask me, I...I don't know anything!!"

Tang Ningshuang's voice was tense.

what?

Jiang Xiaobai stood there, his face full of confusion.

No, he's only said one word!

Moreover, all he wanted to ask was how well Tang Ningshuang slept last night.

This woman's answer was completely irrelevant.

Just as Jiang Xiaobai was filled with confusion, the door on the other side slowly opened, and the Princess walked out of the room.

She was still wearing a straw hat, and her face was covered by a veil, making it impossible to see her expression.

After seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai didn't think much of it. He took two steps forward and raised his arm.

Upon seeing this, the eldest princess, just as before, instinctively stepped forward, reached out and grabbed Jiang Xiaobai's clothes, preparing to help him tidy them up.

But just as she grabbed the clothes, the princess suddenly came to her senses!

Good heavens, she just talked about revenge yesterday.

She's come running up here again, tidying up other people's clothes?!

Moreover, this bastard clearly knew her identity all along, yet he still dared to order her around!?

The princess's face flushed red under her bamboo hat. She gritted her teeth and gripped her clothes tightly.

click!

The sound of clothes tearing rang out.

The princess actually tore a hole in the front of Jiang Xiaobai's clothes.

"what?"

Jiang Xiaobai looked down and froze.

Wait, what's wrong with this woman?

Why did you use so much force to help him tidy his clothes?

Tang Ningshuang stood to the side, watching this scene with an extremely strange expression. In the end, she simply turned her head away, pretending that she hadn't seen anything.

Just then, the princess's voice suddenly rang out: "Oh dear, young master, I'm so sorry!"

Eh?

Tang Ningshuang turned around and looked at the Princess with a shocked expression.

No!

What does the eldest princess mean by this?

Is this a sign that they're giving up on pretending and are just going to throw caution to the wind?

Jiang Xiaobai also stood there, stunned.

This woman...

Why are you speaking again?!

Yesterday was the only time, and he was able to pretend he didn't hear it.

But now that we're so close, and the princess has explained it so clearly.

Damn it, how can he keep pretending to be deaf now!

Jiang Xiaobai opened his mouth, then finally mustered his courage and looked at Tang Ningshuang, saying, "Miss Tang, you... you've spoken?"

"what?"

Tang Ningshuang's mouth opened slightly as she stared at Jiang Xiaobai in shock.

no……

Even though the princess spoke at such close range, Jiang Xiaobai still managed to push her onto her?

Can……

Can you please not drag her into your own business?!

For a moment, Tang Ningshuang's face turned red, unsure whether to nod or shake her head.

I stood there, feeling incredibly awkward.

"Young Master!"

The princess, her eyes gleaming fiercely beneath her bamboo hat, glared at Jiang Xiaobai and said, "This servant accidentally tore your clothes!"

"You...you won't blame me, will you?"

After saying that, the princess tightly gripped the piece of fabric in her hand.

Jiang Xiaobai couldn't see the princess's expression, but her words made his heart skip a beat.

This woman... is still talking!

It seems that pretending not to hear is completely out of the question.

Jiang Xiaobai's lips twitched slightly. He could only look at the princess again, feigning surprise, and said, "Huh? Weren't you deaf and mute? How come you can talk all of a sudden?"

At this point, Jiang Xiaobai looked around and said with a look of sudden realization, "Could it be that the environment of Longhu Mountain is so excellent that you recovered on your own after coming here?"

Tang Ningshuang listened, and a look of admiration appeared on her face.

This guy is a real master at playing dumb!

"No!"

The princess gritted her teeth and said, "I am not actually deaf and mute!"

"Actually, I've been pretending all this time!"

"hiss……"

Jiang Xiaobai's eyes widened, and cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

Is this woman really not going to pretend anymore?

If we continue, the identity of the eldest princess will likely be revealed directly.

How embarrassing must that be for him!

Jiang Xiaobai could only force a dry laugh and say, "Ahem, I see!"

"However, this is actually quite good; it will make communication much easier for us in the future!"

"Of course!"

The princess paused, then gritted her teeth and said, "Young master, are your shoulders sore?"

"I'll give you a good... no, a really good pinch!"

"puff……"

Hearing the Princess's gritted teeth, Tang Ningshuang's face turned even redder, and she quickly covered her mouth.

Jiang Xiaobai's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

"No!"

Jiang Xiaobai shook his head and said, "My shoulders aren't sore!"

"Oh?"

The princess stood there, her fingers slowly clenching together, her voice filled with anger: "This humble servant suggests that you should be a little jealous!!!"

"That……"

Jiang Xiaobai looked at the tightly clenched jade hand, his throat bobbing: "Then... I'll just feel a little soreness, okay?!"

After saying that, Jiang Xiaobai braced himself and sat down on the stone bench next to him.

"These two are masters of feigning ignorance!"

Tang Ningshuang stared at the two of them in shock.

That's right, they clearly know, but they still don't say anything?!

It's probably because one person is afraid, and the other doesn't want to...
