“What’s wrong?” Zhao Chuchu asked with a smile as she approached Xie Heng and sat beside him.

“I’ll have to leave the capital city for a few days in two days.” Xie Heng rested his hand on her shoulder. “If you need anything, just contact the Third Heir. With him around, neither the Kang clan nor Sikou Ming can do anything to stop you.”

“I was never scared of them to begin with. But where are you going?

“There’s something I have to take care of. Don’t worry. It’s not something troublesome.”

It was clear that Xie Heng didn’t want to delve into it, so Zhao Chuchu didn’t ask any more about it.

“Wait, so Sikou Ming’s real intention here in the Guangqing Province is to go after the Third Prince?

‘Even though Sikou Qin is dead, the Sikou clan is already on the same boat as the Great Prince. Looking for treatment from you is just an excuse. Sikou Ming is actually here to keep an eye on the Third Prince.”

“Why does it sound like the Sikou clan has a hand in everything now?

Fortunately for them, Xie Jun was still going through puberty and didn’t look anything like the Third Prince yet. It would’ve been very troublesome if he did.

Sikou Ming was able to enter the palace freely with his authority and was familiar with the people inside. There was a high chance that he would be able to recognize Xie Jun if he looked similar to the Third Prince.

“They wouldn’t be so wary of the Third Prince if they really had a hand in everything. So you don’t have to worry about this. Simply do what you have to and what you want to do. Leave the rest to me.”

“But Sikou Ming will definitely come for you after this.”

“I know. That is why I have to take care of him first. You stayed up the whole night yesterday. You should get more rest.”

Xie Heng stopped and pointed toward the room.

The two of them had shared a bed for a while now.

Although Xie Heng had been very gentlemanly, he still had difficulty keeping his urges under control in front of the lady he loved.

He was a normal man, after all. It was impossible for him not to yearn for her.

It took Xie Heng two lives to finally meet a lady like Zhao Chuchu who could move his heart like that. He didn’t want to inflict any sadness or pain on her.

On the other hand, Zhao Chuchu didn’t think too much of that.

All she could think of was Sikou Ming.

“Da Lang, did something happen between you and Sikou Ming?”

Xie Heng smiled and replied with a question. “He’s not Sikou Zhengdong’s actual son. What do you think of that?”

“I see. It looks like there is a lot between the both of you, huh?” Zhao Chuchu immediately understood what he meant.

Xie Heng had married Sikou Qin in his past life. Although he technically did not adopt the Sikou family name from the marriage, Sikou Zhendong had planned to use his position as a government official. Because of that, Sikou Zhendong poured a lot of resources into him.

That had threatened Sikou Ming’s position in the clan, and it was natural that he would do everything to threaten Xie Heng.

“He’s just a joke in the end,” Xie Heng calmly said. “He was never capable of doing anything. But, of course, Sikou Zhendong is greatly affected by Sikou

Qin’s death. He only has one daughter, after all.”

“I really want to watch them fight among themselves. How unfortunate.” “I have a plan for that. It’ll happen sooner or later. But, for now, they still need each other, so they won’t bear their fangs at each other yet. There are a lot of dirty things going around in the Imperial City. You won’t be able to live such a carefree life once we are there. So, do whatever you want to do here.”

“I know, but I’m not scared either. Da Lang, do you trust me?

“Of course I do.”

“But, there’s still a lot of time before that. Let’s talk about it later. Let’s get some rest.”

Zhao Chuchu pulled the blanket over herself. She was always happy when she was with Xie Heng.

Xie Heng looked at how defenseless Zhao Chuchu was in front of him and smiled.

He knew it wasn’t easy for her to be at ease in front of another person. And yet, she was willing to trust him completely.

“What’s wrong?” Zhao Chuchu noticed that Xie Heng was staring at her.

“Well, it’s been days since we last met. I just want to look at you more,” Xie

Heng gently replied..
