Chapter 123 South Street Night Market
"Yes." Yun Qi nodded: "We have never visited the night market in the capital, so let's take a look today."

Xie Zhaozhao said "hmm".

She was 15 years old when she entered the capital. After settling down in the capital, she was married to Chu Nanxuan. From then on, she and Chu Nanxuan went out together. Where did she find the time to go to the night market with Yun Qi?
Fortunately, I finally have a chance to live again.

She lowered her head and looked at Yun Qi's hand hanging on her knee. After a moment, she reached out her hand and took his.

"What's wrong?" Yun Qi raised his eyebrows, a smile flashed in his eyes, but he said teasingly: "Your wrist still hurts, do you want me to give you a squeeze?"

Xie Zhaozhao rolled his eyes at him.

Yun Qi chuckled, flipped his wrist, and interlocked his fingers with Xie Zhaozhao: "If you don't want to pinch, don't pinch. Stare at someone."

……

Yilan Court

Xie Xingchen could not suppress his anger all night long.

She couldn't understand that she had obviously suffered so much humiliation, but her mother couldn't find a way to comfort her or help solve the problem. Instead, she blamed her for offending King Liang at the Guanyin Hall for admitting the wrong person and giving a chrysanthemum feast.

Is Guanyin Temple her fault?

It was obviously Chu Nanxuan who deceived her, and she was also plotted against.

Let's talk about the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet. King Liang wants her to commit herself.

It's still in a flower room.

What girl would be happy with that!
Even though she was given a marriage to Prince Liang, she still couldn't stand his approach.

At first, my mother was obviously very dissatisfied with King Liang and was filled with righteous indignation.

What's the matter now?
Because the throne of Liang Wang is high and powerful, the dissatisfaction disappears. Are you just waiting to be the mother-in-law of Liang Wang?
The more Xie Xingchen thought about it, the angrier he became, and he didn't sleep well all night.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Dou personally brought breakfast to Xie Xingchen.

Mrs. Dou tried her best to persuade her, including gentle comfort and sincere apology, but Xie Xingchen refused to open the door and only said coldly that she didn't sleep well last night and wanted to catch up on her sleep, so please don't disturb her.

Mrs. Dou didn't know that her daughter was angry, so she had no choice but to let her calm down for a while.

Xie Xingchen caught up on his sleep during the day and didn't get up until the afternoon.

Mrs. Dou went up to talk to her, but she was also cold and said, "Don't worry about these things, mother, I will find a way myself."

"You kid!" Madam Dou said angrily, "How can you figure it out on your own? No matter it's Prince Liang, Chu Nanxuan, or those two bitches from Dafang, they are not easy to deal with!"

"I know." Xie Xingchen said with a stern face, "Mother, just rest assured, I know what's going on."

How could Mrs. Dou feel at ease and asked her what she planned to do, but Xie Xingchen ignored her and went back to her room.

This made Madam Dou so anxious that he lowered his body to coax her.

Xie Xingchen, however, remained silent. He left the house directly after sunset and took a car.

……

The carriage rolled by and she arrived at the place where she usually met Chu Nanxuan.

It was a teahouse, just on the corner of the Chu family street, and it was also Chu Nanxuan's territory.

After Xie Xingchen entered, he asked the shopkeeper to invite Chu Nanxuan over.

The shopkeeper looked troubled: "Miss Xie, it's not that I won't help you, it's because my general is not here today."

"He was not at the house several times when I came." Xie Xingchen said: "This was not the case in the past few years...I left my words here. I couldn't see Chu Nanxuan today, so I rushed to Chu's house Go to the door."

"The shopkeeper is a sensible person, and he should know about my relationship with your general. You should also understand that I have been married to Prince Liang and will be married soon."

"I'm going to rush over and make things worse. Let's see how your general ends up!"

The shopkeeper's face changed greatly: "Miss Xie, you are looking for death, so don't take my general with you!" "Who told the shopkeeper to perfuse me? I have no choice." Xie Xingchen sneered: "Anyway, I There is also the Xie family behind me, so I am not afraid of breaking through the sky. Shopkeeper, do you want to give it a try?"

Where do you dare to try it?
He immediately forced a smile to appease Xie Xingchen and told her to wait, and quickly sent someone to the Chu family.

After a cup of tea, the shopkeeper came to Xie Xingchen and said: "The general is out——"

Xie Xingchen threw away the tea set on the table, scattering the pieces and tea all over the floor: "Do you think I'm stupid? It seems like you really won't shed tears until you see the coffin!"

"The general is really out!" The shopkeeper knelt down and said, "Miss Xie, how dare I lie to you?"

Xie Xingchen was silent for a while and asked, "Where have you gone?"

"How did this little guy know?" The shopkeeper saw that Xie Xingchen's expression was wrong, and he quickly said: "I just said that I was heading towards South Street. I just left the house for a while and got in a carriage!"

"South Street?"

Xie Xingchen narrowed his eyes.

The east and west parts of the Holy Capital City are occupied by nobles, and the shops and restaurants are also very high-end, specifically serving the upper-class nobles.

South Street and Beiwan are mostly visited by traffickers and lackeys. Why would Chu Nanxuan go to such a place?
The shopkeeper explained again and again: "I don't dare to deceive the young lady. Everything I say is true. Today is such an unlucky thing... Otherwise, if the young lady comes back tomorrow, I will send a message to the house and ask the general to wait for you."

Xie Xingchen thought for a while, said nothing, took the maid downstairs, and left in a car after a while.

……

There are huge crowds of people on South Street.

Emperor Xuanwu himself came from a humble background. After he established the empire, he enacted laws and tax policies that were very friendly to the poor and lower-class people.

In just ten years after the founding of the country, the lives of the humble people in the Holy Capital City were much better than before.

South Street is very lively all year round.

There are hawkers selling all kinds of snacks and entertainers along the street, so you can find everything you need to eat, drink and have fun.

Many upper-class nobles may find this kind of excitement with a heavy atmosphere of fireworks vulgar.

But Yun Qi and Xie Zhaozhao have loved such excitement since childhood.

Among the crowd, the two held hands and walked along the road, occasionally stopping at a stall to buy one or two fancy gadgets.

After walking around in a circle, Yun Qi pulled Xie Zhaozhao to a tea shed, found a corner and sat down and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"A little."

"Then tell Xuan Ming to buy some Xiao Long Bao." Yun Qi raised his hand, and Xuan Ming immediately left sensibly.

When he left, Xuan Ming couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Thinking that he, a mighty and unyielding general of the Xuanjia Army who was fierce in killing enemies, was now just an errand boy following Yun Qi.

I really... don't know what to say.

The owner of the tea shed was a middle-aged couple, and they quickly gave Yun Qi and the others a pot of tea.

Yun Qi turned over the rough porcelain tea bowl, first poured a bowl for Xie Zhaozhao, and then made some for himself.

Xie Zhaozhao watched him skillfully pick it up and take a sip, with a casual and natural expression, no different from drinking fine tribute tea.

I couldn't help but think of the past again.

At that time, Xie Zhaozhao had just entered the capital. Hearing that South Street was busy, he asked Chu Nanxuan to come with him.

After arriving here, Xie Zhaozhao wanted to try everything, whether it was food, drink or fun.

Chu Nanxuan still smiled and indulged on the surface, eating, drinking and playing with him, but there was a strange look between his eyebrows.
