Reborn to choose a husband, I will lead the deposed prince to seize my ex-husband’s kingdom

The carriage stopped at the gate of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, and the matchmakers who had been blocking the gate day and night a few days ago disappeared without a trace.

There were some small vendors opposite the mansion who looked a little confused. They obviously didn't understand that the business that was very good yesterday could not even be opened today.

After getting off the carriage, Xu Mingyue began to explain: "Youyu, you go to my parents first. I'm a little tired from the past two days, so I won't go to the main hall to have dinner with them today."

Youyu took the order and headed towards the main courtyard. Xu Mingyue took Tiantian back to Wangshu Tower, looked at the box of cakes and warned:

"Tiantian, chill it with ice first. I will deliver this cake in person later. If my second brother comes back, please tell me quickly."

"Don't worry, girl, I won't let Momo lose any more cakes."

Tiantian has followed Xu Mingyue for so many years. In her eyes, Xu Mingyue is able to remain calm even if the mountain collapses.

The current caution proves that this pastry must be very important, so from preparing the ice to putting it on the plate, Tiantian does it all by herself and does not dare to rely on others.

After placing the precious cake in her hand, Tiantian quickly went to Xu Minglang's 'Yu Storage Pavilion'.

After waiting at the door for a while, he saw Ah Quan, who was bending down and holding a lantern to guide Xu Minglang, heading towards the yard.

With quick eyes and quick hands, Tiantian avoided the sight of Xu Minglang and Ah Quan with great agility and trotted towards Wangshu Tower.

When they returned to the attic, Xu Mingyue had just finished washing, and Youyu was redressing Xu Mingyue in front of the rhombus mirror by candlelight.

Doubts crept into Tiantian's eyes. She actually didn't quite understand why Xu Mingyue dressed up so carefully at this late night.

However, Xu Mingyue is the master, so Tiantian will naturally not ask about his master's whereabouts.

Standing up from the mirror, the moon-white skirt Xu Mingyue was wearing didn't look special at first glance, but under the reflection of the moonlight, it revealed a faint silver light.

After standing in front of the mirror and turning around, Xu Mingyue personally carried the food box and left Wangshu Tower.

Looking down at the skirt, Xu Mingyue suddenly asked: "Youyu, Tiantian, is it too plain?"

Youyu said: "With a face like this, a girl will look very good no matter what clothes she wears or how she puts her hair in a bun."

Tiantian knew best how little Xu Mingyue cared about this appearance.

This question made Tiantian realize why Xu Mingyue insisted on buying this pastry, and why she had to deliver it in person.

Putting herself in her shoes, Tiantian felt that if she were Xu Minglang, she wouldn't want to eat this pastry.

As soon as Xu Mingyue entered the 'Xu Yu Pavilion', Xu Mingliang, who was still discussing matters with others, immediately dismissed the people who were discussing matters and welcomed him out in person.

Following Xu Minglang to sit near the window of the flower hall, Xu Mingyue opened the food box, personally cut the plate of pastries into a more palatable size, inserted a silver pick and handed it to Xu Minglang.

"Second brother, the mint-stuffed crab cakes I bought for you have just been chilled and are at their best."

Looking at the cakes sent by Xu Mingyue personally, Xu Minggang felt happy from the sky, and his peach blossom eyes were so happy that he couldn't even see the eyeballs.

Under Xu Mingyue's ardent gaze, Xu Mingliang held the silver pick and ate a few pieces, but he was reluctant to eat any more.

"Ah Quan, bring another plate over, put half of it in and chill it. I'll eat it when I get back from the palace banquet tomorrow."

If it weren't for the hot weather, Xu Minglang could eat this pastry over five days.

Xu Mingyue bought it, gave it to her, and cut it herself. That is sincerity that no amount of money can exchange for.

Xu Mingyue fanned Xu Minggang and said with a smile: "Second brother, if you like to eat, I will buy it for you every day."

Xu Minglang immediately shook his head: "Yaoyao, the sun is still hot outside. You can buy it on the way to avoid getting too hot."

As Xu Mingyue's close person, Tiantian naturally knows what to say now: "Second Young Master, my girl is having a hard time today. She traveled across most of the capital to buy this pastry."

Xu Minglang felt a little more moved, and even his peach blossom eyes started to show a little water.

However, in the next moment, Xu Minglang immediately took back his hand on the silver sign.

With suspicion in his eyes, Xu Mingliang asked tentatively: "Are you here to thank your second brother because your second brother arranged Shu Bai for you?"

"Second brother, why are you nervous?"

Xu Mingyue personally handed a piece of pastry to Xu Minggang's hand, watched Xu Minggang eat it, and then said: "Of course it has this meaning."

Xu Minglang wanted to spit out all the pastries he had swallowed.

But looking at Xu Mingyue's eager look, she waved her hand and resigned herself to letting Ah Quan take everyone out.

"Little ancestor, my second brother ate the cakes you worked so hard to buy, and now he has become a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered. Even if you want to harvest the wool, don't kill it all in one meal."

Xu Mingyue poured some tea for Xu Minggang to help her digest, and looked even more attentive: "Second brother is always very nice to me. How could I eat up all of him at once?"

When Xu Minggang heard this, his expression was even more aggrieved than Xu Mingyue's.

So Xu Mingyue came here just to recruit him.

The water in his eyes became thicker and thicker. Xu Minglang longed for Xu Mingyue to feel sorry for him and not to say the words he least wanted to hear.

Xu Mingyue pretended not to understand Xu Minggang's desire, and smiled sincerely: "Second brother, I want to see Xie Qingyao."

In front of Xu Minggang, Xu Mingyue called Xie Qingyao by his first name and surname for the first time.

Since returning to the capital, Xu Mingyue has not yet met Xie Qingyao, but she vaguely feels that his relationship with Xie Qingyao has changed.

Because she had always been leaning towards Xie Qingyao's title in her heart, she was corrected at this moment.

From this moment on, Xu Mingyue is no longer immersed in the fact that she has failed Xie Qingyao in her life.

From now on, Xu Mingyue and Xie Qingyao will stand shoulder to shoulder and take back bit by bit what the dynasty and the world owe them.

Xu Minglang pursed his lips, no longer pretending to be pitiful.

Because it's useless.

Those extremely romantic peach blossom eyes were stained with anger that had nowhere to vent. Xu Minglang stiffly turned his head and looked out the window.

The more he looked at Xu Minglang, the heavier his breathing became, and the more he looked at Xu Minglang's lips, the tighter they pursed.

In the end, Xu Minglang still couldn't bear to say a harsh word to Xu Mingyue.

He turned to look at Xu Mingyue in a flattering manner, and coaxed: "My second brother will buy another portion of this pastry and return it to you tomorrow. You can also buy ten portions."

"If you like it, second brother will let the shop open and make it now."

"But the second brother thinks you should think carefully about what you said today."

"You were already eye-catching when you returned to the capital. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the capital is even more crowded."

"Xie Qingyao has been in a coma in the capital these years. If I hadn't met him in Deshui, I wouldn't have known that he had woken up with all the connections I had."

"Second brother doesn't want to talk to you about the defense of men and women, but it's just too risky for the two of you to meet now."

Xu Minggang reiterated the current situation, but he would not make decisions for Xu Mingyue.

As the elder brother, as long as Xu Mingyue wants it, Xu Minglang will take the risk no matter how big it is for Xu Mingyue.

But the premise is that Xu Mingyue has seen her own heart clearly, instead of making a decision based on a whim.
