n't expected them to be so corrupt. Without any evidence, they wanted her to confess."Xiao Yu Ge, don't think that just because someone is protecting you, you can be fearless. This is the Department o..."Don't do that, it's itchy..." Xiao Yuge retracted her neck and pushed him away. Seeing the unsatisfied desire on his face, she couldn't help but frown: "If you really can't stand it, just go find your sister Min Rou. If not, I can also arrange a few concubines for you."

"Little Song, dare you push me to another woman, you're finished!" Qian Tingxuan pounced on her.

Xiao Yu's song was prepared long ago. With a slight inhale, she leaped onto the rooftop. The Shadow Guards in the dark saw that it was the Prince and his young wife, so they didn't dare show their faces, thinking it was just a lovers' indulgence. Even the cat beside them dared not breathe a word.

Finally back! Xiao Yu Ge returned to her room and saw Qian Ting Xuan lying on the bed early. She frowned: "Are you really going to stay here overnight"

"Little Song, don't be so cruel. We've already gone through the ceremony and become husband and wife. It's natural for husband and wife to share a bed. Come here." Qian Tingxuan struck a seductive pose and patted the mattress, beckoning her to come up.

"As we agreed, if you don't leave, then I will." Xiao Yuge pulled down her face and turned to walk outside, hmph! Sharing a bed She didn't even know his little thoughts, wanting to devour her whole. Not a chance.

"Alright, alright, I'm leaving, I'm leaving. Scared of you" Qian Tingxuan saw that she was truly angry and quickly jumped off the bed, stopping her: "You really are a heartless little thing, actually mad at me."

"Okay, I'll wait until I find my parents and then we'll talk."

"Okay, I was wrong just now, I apologize." Thinking of what his elder brother had asked him this afternoon, he embraced her neck and whispered, "Xiao Ge'er, do you... love me" From beginning to end, he had always unilaterally imposed his love on her, but never asked if she was willing to accept it

"I..." Xiao Yuge didn't expect him to suddenly ask her this question. After all, she had never thought about it before, and for a moment, she couldn't answer.

Qian Tingxuan stared intently into her eyes, wanting to know her answer. All this time, he had only focused on loving her, but he had never thought about whether she loved him too.

"After all, we've only known each other for a few months. Asking me to say I love you and get married and have children with you right away is just too much, isn't it But, from now on, I will seriously consider this matter, okay" Xiao Yuge tilted her little head and blinked at him with beautiful eyes. She knew that if her answer wasn't satisfactory, he might really stay here all night.

Their eyes met, and he resignedly sighed as he lifted his head and held her in his arms. "Little Ge'er," he said, "I really should find a chain to lock you up..." That way, he wouldn't be so pathetic that he would believe anything she said.

"What Don't believe me" she looked at him with innocent eyes, her big eyes just like they were when he first met her, so clear and bright, sparkling in that moment and instantly capturing his heart.

"I believe so, but don't keep me waiting too long..."

"Mmm." Xiao Yuge saw that he agreed, happily nodded, and then took advantage of his inattention to push him out the door: "It's getting late, you've been tired all day, go back to rest, see you tomorrow, my... husband..." Xiao Yuge pushed him out the door. At the moment she closed the door, she mischievously said the word "husband."

“Husband... Lord” Qian Tingxuan murmured these two words repeatedly, the smile at the corner of his lips extending all the way to his ears. It didn't matter if she wasn't willing to accept him for now, there was still plenty of time. He believed that one day, she would accept him and fall in love with him!

After Qian Tingxuan left, Xiao Yuge came to the secret room. Feng Yanniang and Huo Yan had been waiting there for quite a while.

"樓主!"

After Xiao Yu Ge ascended to his high position, he motioned for them to sit down: "Sister Feng, has the Salt Gang's matter been arranged" The Salt Gang was a lucrative business; if they didn't take it over promptly, letting someone else seize it would be a huge loss.

"Rest assured, host. Everything is done according to your orders. Lin Lang has officially taken over the Salt Gang and become their leader. He has also made all members of the Salt Gang pledge allegiance to Frost Snow Tower. The Salt Gang is now an affiliated branch of our Frost Snow Tower."

"Excellent! You two did a great job on this matter! Both of you deserve rewards!" Xiao Yu Ge was overjoyed upon hearing this. After some thought, she said, "You told me last time that Lin Lang wanted the rouge and powder from Pin Xiang Lou. Tomorrow, have someone buy ten sets and send them to her. Also, get a Flowing Immortal Robe from Liu Xian Ge and give it to her. Tell her that she looks most beautiful when she wears a robe!"

"Yes! This subordinate thanks the master for Lin Lang!" Feng Yan's face lit up with joy. Lin Lang was like her, an orphan picked up by the old master. She considered Lin Lang her younger sister. Although they were now separated, she often thought of her.

Xiao Yu Ge nodded, glanced at her, then at Huo Yan, cleared her throat: "As for you, what should I reward you with" She pretended to think, but in reality, she was secretly observing the reactions of the two.

"Lord, this subordinate acted recklessly and disobeyed the rules of the house. It is already a great kindness from the Lord not to punish me. How dare I ask for rewards"

“You abandoned your post, which was indeed wrong. However, you and Lin Lang also made a great achievement. Good deeds offset bad deeds, so I neither reward nor punish you, but...” Xiao Yu Ge glanced at Huo Yan: “Huo Hufa diligently performed his duties while the Lord of this tower wasn't here, and he has also contributed.”

"This is the duty of my subordinates, I dare not take credit for it." Huoyan secretly exchanged glances with Feng Yiniang, unable to understand why Louzhu would reward them with something today just after returning.

Xiao Yu ge originally wanted to use this opportunity to break through that layer of window paper and act as a matchmaker for them. However, seeing that they didn't seem too eager, he thought to himself that he would probably be busy for a while and wouldn't have time to come back and prepare for their wedding. So, he decided to put it on hold for now. When she finished her business and left, he would definitely arrange things for them.

"Well, suit yourselves then.

"Master, Lin Lang found these in the secret compartment of Fang Tianjing's mirror. Please have a look." Feng Yanniang presented some letters.

Xiao Yu Ge took the letter and casually pulled one out to read. It turned out to be a letter secretly exchanged between Fang Tianjing and Ning Zhiyuan, even including their detailed account of profits. It seemed that these two had colluded long ago. The mastermind behind the disappearance of Baishi salt was actually Ning Zhiyuan!

What is Ning Ziyuan, that old fox, trying to do Is he trying to rebel But such things didn't happen in his past life.

Xiao Yu Ge took the letters and instructed them, "Keep this a secret from everyone." She wasn't covering for Ning Zhi Yuan, but rather wanted to find a suitable opportunity to deliver them to the emperor's study. The emperor was so astute, he likely already suspected Ning Zhi Yuan. If it wasn't for Ning Zhi Yuan personally coming to the capital to exert pressure this time, how could the emperor have appointed Ning Feng as Minister of Justice It was just that the emperor lacked evidence at present. pitifully heartbroken. The sight of her made everyone around her feel moved."Now things are clear. My little Song'er is not the Duke Regent's daughter, which means I can marry her. Since my mother an...
