Nightfall. Tang Ming, who had been busy all day, stretched his back and looked at the similarly gray Mo Qu. "Sorry for troubling Miss Mo Qu. I've already ordered someone to heat up some water for you. Go back and wash up."

"Alright." Mo Qu didn't say anything to Tang Ming, but Tang Ming nodded his head to show that he understood.

Tang Ming didn't care about Mo Qu's cold attitude and directly returned to his room after Mo Qu left. On the way back to his room, Tang Ming's footsteps paused for a moment before he changed directions.

In the study room, Tang Rou'er had long since reached her limits as she lay on the table. Her wide sleeves were stained with a lot of ink, and her brush had also rolled onto the floor.

Tang Ming laughed as he cleaned up the mess. Looking at the sleeping Tang Rou'er, he pursed his lips as if he was a heartless child. Tang Ming nodded at her little face: "You have no conscience."

Tang Rou'er only knocked Tang Ming's hand down in her dreams. Tang Ming helplessly picked Tang Rou up. Tang Rou'er was probably really tired. She rubbed Tang Ming's chest and found a comfortable spot to sleep in.

Tang Ming finally sent Tang Rou'er to the little girl's shitty room. When he was ready to leave, Tang Rou pulled his sleeve: "Big Brother, don't take my flesh away …"

Tang Ming thought Tang Rou had woken up, but when he turned his head, he discovered that Tang Rou had rolled over in a daze, revealing her small round feet. Tang Ming could only helplessly cover Tang Rou'er with the blanket again.

He didn't know who he would go with.

Time passed by in a flash, and the new year's atmosphere became more lively.

"Brother, happy new year!" Tang Rou'er rubbed her eyes and yawned. "So sleepy."

"Then go back to sleep." Tang Ming rubbed Tang Rou'er's head. He looked at Mo Zhi, who had been silent the entire time but had been guarding here with him, "Miss Mo, you should go back and sleep as well."

Mo Qu looked at Tang Ming and didn't reply. He went closer to the stove. Tang Rou'er then fell into his arms. Satisfied, she rubbed it: "It's so complicated, you're so warm!"

"Yes." Mo Qu originally did not intend to roast the fire, so he carried Tang Rou'er up as if he was going to send her back to the house.

"Looks like I'll have to trouble Miss Mo Qu again." Tang Ming looked at Tang Rou'er, who was hugging her and not letting go, and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

For the past few days, because of Tang Ming's threats, Tang Rou was able to avoid Tang Ming and secretly hide a lot of meat. When Tang Ming was discussing matters with Tang Ning, he heard the servant's words and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Tang Ming reckoned that Tang Rou'er had slept in an unstable state that night, which was why she was still unable to recover from her fear of not being able to eat meat for a month.

It was also very pitiful.

"I'm fine." Mo Qu looked at the cute and obedient Tang Rou'er and did not object.

When he opened the door, he found Servant Zheng standing silently in the doorway for who knows how long.

Mo Zhi looked at Servant Zheng and nodded.

Even though Tang Ning and Tang Ming had always suspected that Servant Zheng liked Tang Rou, as a meticulous girl, Mo Yun naturally saw that Servant Zheng only loved Tang Rou. Thus, Mo Qu's attitude towards Servant Zheng was the same as his attitude towards Liu Huai Qu.

After all, they were not his' love rivals'.

"Miss likes peonies." Servant Zheng suddenly opened his mouth and looked back at him.

"You are reminding me." Mo Qu no longer restrained his aura, but Servant Zheng did not move an inch.

"What are you doing?" Tang Ning also came out from his room. When he saw the tense atmosphere in the room, he frowned and spoke.

Servant Zheng looked at Tang Ning and did not speak.

Tang Ning raised his brows, "If the guests weren't happy, I would have let you stay in the Pure Heart Pavilion for three days if it wasn't for the fact that there's no blood during the New Year."

Upon hearing "Pure Heart Pavilion", Servant Zheng couldn't help but tremble and silently knelt on the ground without saying anything.

Tang Ming also came out of his room and took a look at the scenery. "Auntie, let Miss Mo Qu send Rou Er back to her room. It's cold today, so don't let Rou Er catch a cold."

Only then did Tang Ning move away from Servant Zheng's body and smile towards the ink. However, his smile was exceptionally cold: "Sorry for the trouble."

"It's no trouble." Mo Qu knew that Tang Ning didn't like him, so he left straightforwardly.

"Servant Zheng, you leave as well." Tang Ming gave Servant Zheng a look, but it was as if Servant Zheng did not see or hear anything as he knelt down on the ground.

"Didn't you hear what I said tomorrow? What, do you still need me to invite you?" Tang Ning opened his mouth and only then did Servant Zheng move.

"Servant, farewell." Servant Zheng's voice was quiet and hoarse, not very pleasant to hear.

Tang Ning also looked at Tang Ming. "You should also leave first."

"Yes." Tang Ming nodded. Looking at the empty courtyard, Tang Ning finally turned around and entered his own room.

Tang Ming returned to his room and discovered that there was someone in his room. This time, Tang Ming did not attack directly because Tang Ming knew who the person inside was.

"Liu..." I hope that he is not in the Liu City. Tang Ming saw the shadow and spoke directly.

"I just came to take a look." Liu Huai Qu turned around. Under the moonlight, Liu Huai Qu's ugly face became hazy.

"Take a look. Then, I am quite curious. What is so worth giving up the chance to enjoy the bliss with your parents to run as beautiful as ever?" Tang Ming's tone became strange. "You're hoping that you'll treat me and Xiang Ru too well, aren't you?"

"Is that so?" Liu Huai Qu didn't pay attention to the probing tone of Tang Ming's voice as he looked at the snow in the yard.

"The snow this year is really heavy." Liu Huai Qu could not help but sigh: "It's just like that time."

"At that time?" Tang Ming directly grabbed the key words from Liu Huai Qu's mouth, but Liu Huai Qu avoided talking about it.

"So, you're just here to take a look, aren't you?" Tang Ming knew that no matter how hard he tried, he wouldn't be able to detect anything. On the contrary, it would cause the two of them to part on bad terms, so he decisively changed the topic.

Even though Tang Ming felt that the fragrance of Liu Huai Qu's painstakingly coming from the Liu City sounded quite strange.

Perhaps there was something that just happened to pass by, so he came to take a look.

Although Tang Ming did not feel that there was anything worth Liu Huai Qu running around for during New Year's Eve, it was still a far cry from Liu Huai Qu's arrival. All he could hear was how reliable Liu Huai Qu's words were.

"Naturally, or did Ru Yue think that I would do something to Xiang Ru?" Liu Huai Qu turned around with his usual smile, but it only made Tang Ming more cautious than usual.

However, as Liu Huai Qu had said, he was not foolish enough to attack Xiang Ru, so he still came alone.

If this wasn't courting death, then what was it?

Tang Ming did not pay any more attention to Liu Huai Qu. After all, it was impossible for Liu Huai Qu to really do anything. Liu Huai Qu watched as he abandoned him and went straight to Tang Ming without saying a word.

Looking at the pale moonlight, his face suddenly turned dark.
