When the prince is reborn, he will only hit me if he doesn't hit the wall!

"It's nothing. Why is Daddy here?"

Xu Xinyue changed the subject without leaving a trace.

"It's not a big deal. Daddy just came to tell you that our new house has been renovated and we can move in soon. Is Yueyue happy?"

Xu Xinyue barely raised the corners of her mouth and replied, "Happy, very happy."

Although he said this, he felt a little reluctant in his heart. It was not because he was greedy for the wealth and fame of Prince Rong's mansion.

It used to be a luxury to be able to just see him from afar, but now I can actually look up and see him face to face.

Suddenly hearing that such a beautiful day was about to end, Xu Xinyue couldn't help feeling a little lost.

She knew that she had to wake up from this dream.

She nodded gently: "When does Daddy plan to leave Prince Rong's Mansion?"

"Just two or three days, until Daddy has finished packing. I will also thank His Royal Highness Prince Rong properly.

He is our father and daughter’s benefactor!”

Xu Xinyue just nodded and didn't respond.

Unexpectedly, Xu Yuanshan suddenly changed the subject: "Yueyue, I was out inspecting the shop today, and I heard some rumors from the outside world that Prince Rong protected you at the poetry meeting, and also said that he..."

Xu Xinyue's eyelids twitched.

I thought to myself: This is terrible, how come my father has heard about it too!

Without waiting for Xu Yuanshan to finish, Xu Xinyue put her hands on her hips and said in a coquettish and angry tone, "Daddy, don't say anymore, I've heard everything!

What happened that day was not as the rumors had said.

It was clearly me who was framed, but I argued with reason and proved my innocence on my own.

How come others say that it was Prince Rong who protected me and that’s why I became famous?

Humph, what mother said is indeed right. This is how the world has always been.

No matter how outstanding a girl is, she will eventually become a man's vassal.

Today my daughter has seen..."

Seeing her speaking in rapid succession and with great confidence, Xu Yuanshan knew that he had said something wrong today and had made his precious daughter angry. He quickly comforted her softly:

"That's right, that's right. It was those people who were blind and didn't recognize my Yueyue's intelligence. Yueyue was wronged. Daddy won't say anything more, and Yueyue shouldn't take it to heart, okay?"

Xu Xinyue pursed her lips and said nothing, her little face wrinkled, seeming to be still angry.

Xu Yuanshan was a little at a loss, not knowing what to do.

"Yueyue, Daddy still has things to do, so Daddy won't accompany you... You don't have to be angry anymore."

"Um……"

Seeing Xu Xinyue's response and a few more words of comfort, Xu Yuanshan touched the back of his head and left.

As he walked, he couldn't stop mumbling, "Is this why I came to look for Yueyue...

Why do I always feel like something is not right..."

Xiao Shu also returned to Xu Xinyue's side at this moment: "Miss, has the master also heard about the rumor?"

"Well, I let it slip. Daddy won't mention this matter again in the near future.

By the way, have you found any clues about the information I asked you to find out?"

Xiao Shu was a little frustrated, and said with a droopy face: "Qingyang has not said a word, when will the prince leave the house."

"Could it be that your intention to spy was too obvious, so Qingyang was on guard?"

Xiao Shu waved her hands hastily: "No, Miss, I asked inconspicuously, he shouldn't notice."

“That’s a bit bad…

Daddy said that we will be leaving Prince Rong’s Mansion soon.

If I can't secretly follow him to the wild fighting arena in the next few days, it will be even more difficult to find out his whereabouts after he leaves home.

Xiao Shu, I'm afraid we need to make other plans for this matter."

In the study, after listening to Qingyang's routine report, Qing Yuechuan hesitated and said:

"Qingyang, tell me again about Xu Xinyue's preferences that you investigated a few days ago..."

Qingyang was a little excited.

He said! How could the intelligence he collected that day be completely useless!

Now the prince actually brought it up on his own initiative!

Qingyang told Qin Yuechuan all the information he had collected about Xu Xinyue's preferences, like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

Finally, he added:

"Your Highness, today Miss Xu's Miss Shu came to me on purpose, as if she wanted to find out your whereabouts. Is it necessary..."

After hearing this, Qin Yuechuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

Xu Xinyue asked about his whereabouts?

"It's okay, tell her. If someone around her wants to find out something in the future, there's no need to hide it, just tell her the truth.

Send someone to protect her, and if there is nothing unusual, don't report it to me."

Qingyang agreed, and just as she was about to turn around, Qin Yuechuan suddenly added: "Except that I will go to the wild fighting field at the end of the month, you don't need to tell her."

Qingyang hesitated: "Then... I'm afraid we couldn't hide it from Miss Xu when we left the house that day..."

"No problem, let's use the old method. Send her out of the house, buy her Jade Dew Cake, Lotus Cake, or anything else. Take her to the clothing and jewelry stores that girls like more often...

It will surely distract her and she won't have any doubts."

Qingyang nodded, turned and left the study.

Qin Yuechuan stood up and walked to the window frame with a Ruyi pattern in the study.

The lush bamboo forest rustled outside the window.

The bamboo branches in the forest are interspersed with light and shadow.

The sunlight penetrates through the gaps in the bamboo branches and falls on the bamboo leaves in bits and pieces.

Like dancing golden light and flowing jade.

Qin Yuechuan's gaze remained on the ink painting of bamboo under the moon hanging on one side of the window.

He never knew that the lush forests and green bamboos that he was so familiar with before him could be so interesting in Xu Xinyue's eyes.

His rough fingertips gently stroked the faint ink crescent moon in the corner of the picture, and he whispered unconsciously:

"Crescent Moon..."

I still remember what she said on stage that day:

When water is full, it overflows; when the moon waxes, it wanes, so it is called a crescent moon.

"What a great name."

"Ah chirp!"

"Miss, are you sick?"

Xiao Chan poured a cup of hot tea and gently handed it to Xu Xinyue.

"It's already autumn, miss, don't catch a cold."

"It's okay. I'm a doctor and I know what's going on. It must be the rumors out there that are talking about me."

Xiao Chan looked a little sad: "Miss, are you really not concerned about the rumors outside?"

"You see, His Royal Highness Prince Rong must have heard it too. If he doesn't care, why should I care?"

Xu Xinyue didn't care and continued grinding the small piece of Hanyang grass in his hand.

"But the young lady is a woman... wouldn't it be detrimental to her reputation... how can she find a husband in the future..."

Xiao Chan held her chin with both hands, blinked her black eyes and stared at the medicine grinder in Xu Xinyue's hand, watching her grind the grass root-like medicinal materials into pieces and powder one by one.

"It's as if I could get married right away if there wasn't this rumor.

Now that I have left the Xu family, I am equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the Xu family.

Who would be willing to offend the powerful Xu family for a nobody merchant girl like me?"

"But didn't the prince help us? He also sought justice for the young lady..."

"That's right. This rumor has tied me and the prince together. No one should be able to bully me and my father at this moment."

Xiao Chan suddenly felt enlightened, and the light in his eyes seemed to be rekindled.

He immediately perked up: "Miss, you are right! Today's rumors are a protection for us!"

Xu Xinyue raised her eyebrows but did not comment.

Xu Xinyue thought, since Qin Yuechuan didn't mind, she wouldn't run to him and ask for an explanation or why.

After all, she should be the one taking advantage...
