It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

The old lady originally wanted to pretend to be asleep, but when she saw the three dark shadows standing upright in front of the bed, she knew she could not escape this hurdle. She had to pretend that she knew nothing and opened her eyes dazedly as if she had just woken up from a dream.

"you……"

She tried to get away with it by being cute, and suddenly turned into a loli, waving her hands sweetly, "Hi~ Good morning, sisters~"

The trio didn't waste any time talking to her. Gu Yi, the leader, waved his hand generously, "Go!"

"...Don't come over here!"

The old lady panicked and made a sound like Bu Jingyun.

Didn't he just sleep with Xu Shi? Was it that serious? Ah, was it that serious?!

Xu Shi is also a heartless person, just abandoning me all alone? !

Where is Xia Wuyou? Where is Xia Wuyou? Your aunt is about to be torn into pieces by wolves and tigers. Please save her!

...Forget it. I can't count on that damn girl. With her current rebellious temper, she will probably only be able to utter four words when faced with such a thing.

Intensify.

……

Xia Ke'an is so pitiful. He was tormented by Xu Shi last night, and now he is being tormented by other girls.

But Xu Shi didn't know all this. Now he was walking on the streets of the main city with Tang Shuang.

I have to say that the little queen’s level of cleaning the Taiping land is still online. The main city which was a mess last night is now unrecognizable.

Only the ruins of the church not far away with smoke and dust still lingering showed that everything that had happened before was not a dream. In view of what happened last night, there were fewer shops that were still open as usual - the deep-rooted Church was overthrown overnight, and everyone always needed some time to digest it all.

“This tastes good.”

Governor Tang tasted the breakfast he bought and asked vaguely, "How have you been over the past year?"

"well enough?"

Xu Shi held her other hand and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I've been with you like this, and I feel empty inside."

He keeps talking dirty, he is indeed an old scumbag.

"Bah, come on, I see you're having a good time."

Tang Shuang spat and cursed with a smile.

Although she knew that the other party was saying this to her, she couldn't help but enjoy it.

To be honest, keeping in touch is keeping in touch, but she still misses him a lot when she can't see him in person.

This was also why she was in a hurry to drag Xu Shi out shopping. It was said that a short absence was better than a new marriage, so what was the big deal of pestering him to go shopping?

Moreover.

"When did you get together with that little... and Miss Ke'an?"

She became unhappy when she thought of this, and glanced at Xu Shi in dissatisfaction.

"What do you mean by mixed?"

Xu Shi was shameless and said, "It's natural...love grows over time, yes, love grows over time."

"Oh, love grows over time."

Governor Tang repeated it emotionlessly, "I thought you were going to play the role of father and daughter or something, but I didn't expect it to end up like this."

It was obvious that she knew the inside story about the old lady, that her actual age didn't match her appearance...but she didn't know that the other party could become an adult, so she was a little surprised to see things develop like this.

Xu Shi did not hide anything from her and told her the whole story.

I have to say that her guess was actually correct. The two of them had indeed pretended to be father and daughter before... Should I say this is a woman's intuition?

"I haven't even talked to you yet... I didn't expect someone else would get there first."

Of course, this is what she is most concerned about, and she feels a little aggrieved as she talks about it.

This was also different from what she had imagined - she had said before Xu Shi left that she would wait until the other party returned triumphantly before doing anything else...but now the other party hadn't gone back yet and she was here first, and the expected scene did not come true, which was more or less a pity.

"I know you still have me in your heart."

Xu Shi held her hand tightly with a look of deep affection on his face.

"No."

Tang Shuang pretended to shake her head in disgust and said, "You are already dirty. You are not worthy of this Governor's eyes. Go to hell."

After a while of sweating like soybeans, it's almost done.

"Really not?"

He asked jokingly.

"… Let's get the business done first."

Governor Tang failed in a second, and a barely perceptible blush appeared on his face.

How can she really say no? Although she is undeniably relatively straightforward in her emotions, she also has a delicate and emotional side.

For her, although dating is not for that purpose, it is always necessary to use this method to become closer.

Besides, how can it be reasonable for me to stay where I am while everyone else has already taken off? It is simply unreasonable.

Xu Shi did not expose her and let her vent her temper.

The two of them went to the palace playing and fighting.

The official statement is the same as agreed upon, "Grand Duke Gu Jian attempted treason but failed." Now there are not many signs of fighting, but the ministers and servants in the palace are all coming and going in a hurry. Even if you have not experienced it personally, you can still see some clues.

Dongfang Xiao naturally didn't have to attend court these days, so the three of them soon met in the imperial study.

"Is it okay if you don't have any rest?"

Seeing that she also had dark circles under her eyes, Xu Shi subconsciously expressed his concern.

"…I didn't sleep all night."

The little queen nodded and said, "I want to finish the things at hand as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well."

The so-called aftermath naturally refers to the purge of the remnants of Cheng Gujian - having been in power for so many years, Cheng Gujian naturally has a group of diehard fans. He himself also left relevant information to Dongfang Xiao, telling him who should be dealt with and how, no matter how big or small.

From a certain perspective, this is actually quite despicable... I worked hard for you and followed you in the rebellion, but you are the biggest royalist?

But for Dongfang Xiao, this is the best thing. With the list, she can save a lot of trouble.

"Do you want to see it?"

She did not forget her identity and carefully handed the list to Xu Shi.

"No, just follow the arrangements."

Xu Shicai was unwilling to trouble himself, mainly because there was no need - Cheng Gujian had been immersed in this field for many years and had outstanding abilities, so naturally, as a foreigner, he didn't need to worry about the things he had sorted out.

Who should be killed, who should be kept, and who should be used have already been arranged. Even Dongfang Xiao himself is better at this than him.

All he has to do is provide support - the centipede insect is dead but not stiff, and now Cheng Gujian "failed and died", but there are still some people who are unwilling to accept the reality.

The little empress has already started to deal with everything that needs to be dealt with. Whether it is confiscating property or exiling, it is not a piece of cake with the combat team that Xu Shi will send to her.

"The main thing is to talk about how we can maintain cooperation in the future?"

Tang Shuang also gave her a document, "This is the proposed plan, please take a careful look at it, Miss Dongfang."

"it is good."

Dongfang Xiao was a little uncomfortable being called that, but he still took the things and browsed them carefully.

Compared with the previous semi-verbal and semi-written discussion with Xu Shi, the one in hand was obviously more detailed.

If it was anything else, she would probably have to look at it for a long time, but since it was just something Xu Shi had made, she didn't need to take it so seriously - mainly, would it be useful to take it seriously? She couldn't refuse...

It was enough for her to have a rough idea in her mind. Perhaps because she had been planted with the seeds, the little queen was not too worried that Xu Shi would take the opportunity to cause trouble, and she naturally trusted him.

"I didn't notice it yesterday, but Miss Tang Shuang is the...Governor of Night Sin City?"

Instead, she was more interested in Tang Shuang. Yesterday, the other party was inconspicuous in the crowd, and she did not put him in this position.

But she didn't expect that he was the supreme ruler of Night Sin City. She was a little surprised for a moment.

"Don't be so distant. I'm a few years older than you. Just call me sister if you want."

Tang Shuang never cared about these red tapes and waved his hand indifferently.

"...Then I'll call you Sister Tang."

Hearing her say this, Dongfang Xiao suddenly understood.

Regardless of her identity, she must be one of Xu Shi's wives, right? At least from the time she came in until now, she had never seen the two of them separate their hands.

Logically, she should have acted a little surprised. Are you a couple?

But perhaps because she had experienced so much before, she didn't seem surprised at all... as if things were supposed to be this way.

Even changing one's words was so natural.

Chapter 304 Tell me, who is the real winter melon?

2023-10-30

Dongfang Xiao has a pretty good impression of Tang Shuang.

This is actually a very interesting thing - although she has a complicated attitude towards Cheng Gujian, and looks like they will never have anything to do with each other, in fact, she treats Xu Shi in a similar way.

Why? Of course, she herself was in a very conflicted mood.

From a result-oriented perspective, she now knows that even if she does nothing, everything in this empire will fall into her hands sooner or later.

That is to say, all the previous compromises made to Xu Shi were just superfluous.

However, because Cheng Gujian said nothing, Xu Shi took advantage of the opportunity and created the current situation.

Who can be blamed for this? It seems that everyone has problems - Cheng Gujian has his reasons for hiding the truth. In the final analysis, it is also to temper the little queen. Otherwise, if she knew that she had been under protection all the time, she would most likely be even more useless than she is now.

Yes, if you look at it from Xu Shi's perspective, she is actually quite useless now. At most, she is just at the qualified standard. She still has some other people to assist her, so she is not completely helpless without her.

But the consequences of his actions were obvious, and Boss Xu won in the end.
