♂?，，

  As soon as she heard this, Long Ruo Shui immediately had something to say and was very certain, "She must be trying to put on a good show in front of the Long family, gain sympathy points, and then become the respected young mistress of the Long family with an air of righteousness!"

  Zhu Wenyi fell into deep thought, seemingly also feeling that Long Ruo Shui's words made sense.

  After all, after what happened, at least I have fewer reservations than before.

  Moreover, her husband also gave the family heirloom jade bangles to Tang Xiangxiang.

  Isn't this the most effective way?

  A moment's depression, and all those hard-won improvements were erased.

  Su Wanru slightly curled up her lips and revealed a fleeting smile.

  With Long Ye's joining, the outcome was decided in no time.

  The old man looked dissatisfied, "No way, no way, the two of you ganging up on an old man like me, it's clear bullying."

  Tang Miyan was almost amused by Long Zhenfei's words.

  Never thought that a serious and proper grandfather would also have such a spoiled side.

  "Grandpa, you can't just lose and then refuse to admit it."

  "Who said I lost? It's clearly an unfair win!" The old man was very stubborn when it came to playing chess.

  Long Ye Jue seemed to have expected this outcome, and lazily replied, "Looks like we can't continue with this game of chess. Let's head back and rest for now, we can play slowly later!"

  Long Zhenfeng suddenly understood what this guy was up to and muttered to himself, wanting to go back?

  Not on your life!

  "Just now, two of you ganged up on me alone and I lost, which is normal. Now let Mianmian join my side for the next round, if I lose again, then we'll leave."

  The old man's suggestion made Long Ye Jue narrow his black eyes, "Grandfather, what are you up to again?"

  "I'm not all bad! Are you going down or not?" The old man shouted loudly.

  Long Ye Jue understood that he was being plotted against, but still nodded in agreement, "Alright, one game then? Next is next."

  He just needs to win back and he can go back anyway.

  Tang Miannian happily passed Lao Yezi's side, which made Long Yeye feel a little resentful.

  It seems he has to speed up his pace.

  The chess pieces were set up, and we started playing move by move.

  It's said that Tang Mianmian and Lao Yezi are on the same side against Long Yeye, but in fact, it's still Lao Yezi who is under Long Yeye, and Tang Mianmian can only offer some constructive opinions on the side.

  The more you go, the more you're at a disadvantage.

  This made Long Zhenfei anxious, he whispered a few words in Tang Mi's ear.

  The little sheep looked at Long Ye with an awkward expression, then shifted his gaze to the old man, as if asking, Grandpa, is this really okay?

  The old man glared at him, don't you know to respect your elders and care for the young?

  Alright...

  Tang Mianmian compromised and ruined a wrong move.

  Long Ye Jue immediately understood Old Master's scheme and felt somewhat displeased. "How can you guys cheat? Don't you have any integrity?"

  The old man hummed, "It's not like I'm the one who wants to take back his move."

  It means it's my wife's regret, what does it have to do with me?

  Tang Mianni chuckled and said, "Just let me try once."

  He could only nod at her gaze, "Alright alright alright, make way, don't make this a habit."

  Tang MiMi happily put back the chessboard and gave a wink to the old man.

  The old man smiled in his heart and silently gave a thumbs up for his daughter-in-law.

  Ke Long Ye Jue did not think that this would lead to an endless situation.

  Every time Grandpa was about to lose, Tang Xiangxiang would start regretting her moves.

  He sympathized with his wife, so he naturally agreed, agreed, and agreed...

  So, in the end, it was a harmonious outcome, Old Master won and Long Ye lost.

  This made the old man very happy, "I said your chess skills are not as good as mine, and you still don't admit it."

  Long Ye looked at his grandfather with a black line on his face, feeling somewhat helpless about his grandfather's unrefined chess skills.

  I thought that if I lost, he would definitely not let me go.

  But who knew the old man's mood had improved, and with a compassionate tone, he said, "Forget it, I'm not in the mood to play chess with this defeated subordinate either. Let's just go back, I need some rest too."

  Tang MiMi is so cute...

  Grandpa, isn't this taking advantage of someone and then pretending to be innocent?

  He clearly won the game by cheating, but he said his opponent was a poor player and didn't even want to continue playing...

  Look at Long Ye's cold face.

  Long Ye's personality is actually most similar to Grandfather's.

  Tang gently pulled someone who was in a bad mood and said softly, "Let's go back, I'm tired too, it's time to rest."

  Long Yajun was slightly depressed, but when he heard his wife say that, he swept away the gloom and stood up to bid farewell, "Then we'll head back."

  "Go ahead, go ahead, you will be defeated by your subordinates."

  “……”

  Tang MiMi was on the verge of tears.

  Grandpa, stop showing off, okay?

  As soon as two people left, the originally harmonious and lively hall suddenly became quiet and deserted.

  The old man glanced at everyone and his smile gradually faded. Zhu Wenyi stepped forward and asked, "Dad, I have something to tell you."

  "Uh-huh." The old man didn't refuse either, and the two of them went up to the study together.

  Zhu Wenyi finally asked the suspicious question, "If Ruo Shui was kidnapped, I think it's very suspicious. She told me after she came back that she and Wanru were kicked out of the car at the time, so it was a white kidnapping. Everything is too coincidental, and being kicked out of the car was because they said something bad about Tang Qianqian. Afterwards, the kidnapper asking for ransom seemed to be planned by someone on purpose. And she stood up without hesitation at the time."

  The old man's face sank, and he glanced at Zhu Wenyi, "Do you think so too?"

  "Dad, it's not that I think this way, but the fact is that there are many doubts about this matter. Otherwise, why would she be let go again? How can she explain this?" Zhu Wenyi knew that Lao Ye was asking her back like this because he didn't believe her, and couldn't help feeling a bit angry.

  But after all, she is an elder, so she didn't say anything.

  The old man sank his face, with a cold smile, "I don't take sides, I can go investigate this matter, as long as there is evidence, I will naturally handle it, without evidence it's just speculation, don't tell me."

  Zhu Wenyi knew she was in the wrong and could only nod, "I know."

  "Having married into the Long family for decades, I've always been gentle and never spoken harshly. But one thing to understand is that at any time, the overall situation must be prioritized. As a member of a wealthy family, the harmony of the family is paramount. I believe this principle is clear. I don't want to hear any more unfounded speculations in the future. Leave now."

  The old man gave a cold face and ordered to drive the guests away.

  Zhu Wenyi, who had eaten a loss, could only leave dejectedly.

  But in his heart, the resentment towards Tang Xiangxiang was growing bigger and bigger.

  **

  Long Ye and Jue returned to Nian Garden, where Xu Guan's family had prepared a medicinal meal that was already waiting for them.

  Tang Mianmian's smile froze as soon as she saw the medicine, and she looked at Long Ye with pleading eyes, "Can I not eat it?"

  "Are you going to waste Uncle Xu's kindness again?" Long Ye also asked without advising.

  Xu Han's face turned red as he was caught off guard, and he could only stand there awkwardly with a forced smile. "Young mistress, this medicinal soup is specially made by the master himself, who found someone to cook it. It's good for the body, and all the ingredients are top-notch. Drinking it will only bring benefits, not harm."

  Tang Miyan made a bitter face and said, "Okay."

  It's not possible to waste someone's kindness, since they've already spoken up for you, if you refuse again, it would truly be a waste of their good intentions.

  But that dark soup, no matter how I look at it, just doesn't seem appetizing.

  Someone who was watching the good show with relish, Tang Mianmian was so angry that her teeth itched.

  How can he be so carefree?

  She felt resentful and thought of taking revenge.

  With one breath, he gulped down all the soup in the bowl, of course, swallowing a small part of it as well.

  The originally small face was all scrunched up.

  Long Yajue couldn't help but laugh and stopped her, asking, "Is it really that hard to drink?"

  Tang Miya shook her head and then nodded again.

  Long Yajue became even more curious, "Is it really good or not?"

  Tang Miemiemi slightly raised her head and leaned forward, just like he did before, accurately capturing his lips.

  Although it was her first time actively kissing a man, she felt both bold and guilty at the same time.

  But she was determined to make him know how hard it is to drink this medicine!

  Long Ye was shocked by the sudden kiss, and she also fell for it. When she put the medicine into her mouth, a strong bitter taste spread out.

  But there is also her sweet beauty in this bitterness.

  Despite the medicinal smell ruining the atmosphere, it didn't hinder the charm of this kiss.

  As she was about to retreat after playing a prank on him, he suddenly turned the tables and grabbed her head, returning the medicine she had previously given him.

  "Hmm...Hmm...Hmm..."

  Tang Mianmian widened her eyes and was forced to take those medicines.

  Wanted to resist, but was blocked by him, completely unable to struggle, and finally had no choice but to swallow it all.

  But Long Ye didn't let go immediately, he sucked the interest from her lips, kissing her until she was on the verge of collapse before finally releasing her.

  Tang Mi was completely dizzy, panting heavily in his arms, her rosy cheeks especially tempting.

  "How despicable." She cursed, panting.

  "It's obviously meant to be calculated against me." He didn't think so.

  Tang Mianmian was already red in the face, but now it became even redder with anger. "You're asking me how bad it tastes? I let you try some just to see."

  "I tried it out, so I returned it too."

  “……”

  Why is it always her who gets hurt?

  Is this the way a scholar and an official should behave? Can't you even speak reasonably?

  She knew she couldn't make excuses for herself, so she struggled free from his arms and went upstairs.

  Long Yeh stretched out his hand and touched his lips, a faint smile appearing on his face.

  Xu, who had been treated as air all along, finally coughed and reminded him that he still existed. "Young master, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."

  Long Ye was choked for a moment, but quickly regained his composure, nodded slowly and said, "Go."

  "Yes."

  "Oh, right, the medicine does need some improvement, it's too bitter."

  He reminded him once again.

  Xu stumbled and couldn't help but think of how he had tasted this flavor before.

  "Yes, yes, I will go and deal with it."

  Having said that, he slipped away in a flash.

  Long Yajue slowly went upstairs, still secretly rejoicing that she had taken the initiative to kiss him.

  Tang MiMi had just finished her bath, wearing her animal-print pajamas, and was wiping her hair with a towel.

  Long Yeye slightly furrowed his brow, and his originally lively expression sank a bit. He turned up the room's heating to its maximum before saying, "Isn't it said that you can't wash your hair during your period?"

  "But I didn't wash yesterday, it smells so bad." She glared at him with a hint of invisible anger.

  What's going on here?

  Can't even wash your hair?

  "What's with the gloomy face? Aren't you a cleanliness freak? I was thinking of that, not grateful to me, and still getting angry at me?" Tang Xiangxiang pouted.

  Is it okay for this man to get angry over every little thing?

  "Since you're thinking so much for me, why don't..."
