When Meng Zhaoge walked on the street, he always felt that there was a pair of inquiring eyes behind him.

She turned around and glanced at the huge crowd behind her, but didn't see anyone she knew.

"Sister." When she turned around, Yuan Jinglie was standing in front of her with a candied haws in his hand and a smile on his face.

Meng Zhaoge took the candied haws and took a bite. It tasted sour and sweet. "It's delicious."

Mohuan was running in front, wanting to touch everything she saw. She would even go over and poke at the turtles being sold.

Soon, Meng Zhaoge could no longer find her.

There were too many people on the street, and Meng Zhaoge was a little worried. When he looked around, he didn't notice a cart full of fresh vegetables being pushed over there.

"Hey, get out of the way!" the man shouted quickly.

Before Meng Zhaoge could react, someone grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

A cart sped past her.

The softness and warmth of his palm made Meng Zhaoge stunned for a moment, and then he quickly pulled his hand back.

Yuan Jinglie looked normal. He knew she was embarrassed, so he changed the subject: "Mo Huan is like a cow that has escaped from the pen. Why is she so happy?"

"She hasn't been out much, has she?" Meng Zhaoge answered, coughing softly, "Go look for her over there."

The two walked side by side.

Another ox cart came rushing towards this side.

"Get up and get off first, get up and get off first! My cow just went crazy when it saw the red color!" The car owner was also panicked.

The crowd was agitated and tried to make way for each other. Yuan Jinglie reacted quickly, put his arm around Meng Zhaoge's shoulders, pulled her into his arms, and protected her with one arm.

The ox cart rushed past the two of them.

"Are the cars going crazy today?" Meng Zhaoge couldn't help but say while hiding in his arms.

Looking at his tall body, I suddenly realized that he had grown a lot taller.

Boys of this age tend to grow fast.

Yuan Jinglie took the initiative to let go of her, lowered his eyes, and took the initiative to agree: "Yes, what a coincidence."

Meng Zhaoge was speechless.

Yuan Jinglie's eyes flashed with a trace of uneasiness, and he racked his brains to change the subject: "Maybe Mo Huan got lost, her brain doesn't work very well usually."

Meng Zhaoge paused: "No way..."

But she was indeed a little worried, and she stood on tiptoe and looked around.

As I was looking, I saw an old man falling from the sky, carrying a bamboo basket on his back. He tripped over the steps and fell heavily to the ground.

Causing passers-by to laugh.

Meng Zhaoge's heart tightened and he hurried forward to help him up.

However, the old man got up from the ground, his face was in great confusion, and he shouted in panic: "My snake! My snake!"

"Hahahaha, he said his snake..."

"snake?"

“There’s a snake!!!”

The people who were laughing just now suddenly turned pale and looked around to see if there was really a snake.

"There's a snake! There's a snake!"

At this time, a girl screamed: "I saw a snake!!"

"what!"

A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. Upon hearing this, everyone was frightened and trembled with fear. They hurriedly pushed and shoved each other and ran back.

Meng Zhaoge was also a little scared, and instinctively grabbed the corner of the boy's clothes beside him, "Hurry, let's go."

Yuan Jinglie's heart was pulled by her and felt numb.

He picked her up by the waist.

"Ah." Meng Zhaoge's body suddenly flew into the air and he hugged Yuan Jinglie's neck without any preparation.

"What?" She lowered her head in embarrassment: "Put me down, A-lie."

Yuan Jinglie: "Sister, you are not afraid of snakes anymore?"

“……”I am afraid indeed.

Meng Zhaoge bit her lip and whispered, "Then you, then don't let others see us."

Yuan Jinglie thought about it and said, "Oh."

Then, holding her in his arms, he walked majestically through the shivering crowd toward the bridge.

The old man carrying the snake on his back was sitting on the ground looking at his scrapes.

As he passed by him, Yuan Jinglie whispered, "Old sir, that's enough."

The old man lowered his eyes and said nothing.

But Meng Zhaoge paused in surprise, a thought flashed through his mind, and he suddenly realized.

"There's no snake at all, right?" She raised her head in his arms and stared at him with wide eyes.

Yuan Jinglie lowered his eyes to meet her eager eyes, and smiled: "Yes, that was the old man trying to scare them."

"Because they laughed at the old man falling down?"

"Well, so, you deserve to be scared. But it would be bad if you scare too much and cause a riot in the street."

"Then why did the girl say she saw a snake?"

"I was so nervous that I mistook it for something else."

Meng Zhaoge's reaction was a little slow this time, and he pursed his lips: "I didn't realize that, old man has great acting skills."

"As we get older, we become more cunning, like lotus roots," said Yuan Jinglie.

Meng Zhaoge laughed.

As she was laughing, she suddenly realized something: since he knew there was no snake, why didn't he tell her?

He even picked her up. This boy... is quite scheming.

Thinking of this, Meng Zhaoge's cheeks burned, and he kicked his legs hurriedly: "Alie, put me down first."

Yuan Jinglie got off the bridge and put her down.

"I... I'm not heavy, am I?" Meng Zhaoge made small talk.

Yuan Jinglie laughed: "Sister is very light, like holding cotton."

Meng Zhaoge smiled shyly, touched his hair a little awkwardly, and turned his head away, his ears still a little red.

The two were silent for a moment.

Just when Yuan Jinglie was about to use the Mohuan for the third time to dispel the awkwardness between them, Mohuan Benhuan suddenly ran over from the front like a rabbit.

"Empress, Young Master Yuan!" Mo Huan was holding something in his arms and showed it to them happily.

"What is this?" Yuan Jinglie asked.

Meng Zhaoge asked: "Where did you go?"

Mo Huan: "I went to the 'Shangtianting' over there and bought a lotus leaf chicken! I heard that their lotus leaf chicken is delicious."

Yuan Jinglie teased her: "You have already gone to heaven, why don't you pick some peaches? You are such a loser."

Mo Huan's face was as red as a dumpling. She asked Meng Zhaoge to take charge and shook her arm, "My queen, look at Young Master Yuan, he is talking about me again."

"Okay, why are you two acting like kids?" Meng Zhaoge often felt like he was taking care of a child.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Jinglie changed his smiling face and instantly became serious: "I am not a child, Mo Huan is."

Mo Huan said: "What's wrong with being a child? I am a child~"

"Okay, kid." Meng Zhaoge said helplessly: "You have to eat your lotus leaf chicken while it's hot. Let's go back quickly."

Then he took the two of them into the carriage and returned to the quiet house.

They didn't know that this scene was seen by a young girl, who went back and reported it to Qin Yueliu.

Qin Yueliu jumped up from the couch when she heard this and asked excitedly, "Did you see Meng Zhaoge and a man arm in arm?"

The girl said, "How dare I lie to you, young lady? That man and Meng Zhaoge were holding hands and hugging each other."

"So where did they go?"

"We went to a house on the outskirts of the city. It's a very secret place. It seems that the princess has been living there with that man these days."

"...How shameless." Qin Yueliu couldn't help but spit on Meng Zhaoge in her heart.

Her taste is not very good, she just gets along well with the servants around her.

Go crazy.

Qin Yueliu thought for a moment and came up with an idea.

This time, I will definitely be able to separate my cousin and Meng Zhaoge.
