  Ning Meng Yao understood what Xiao Qi Tian meant now. Qiao Tian Chang’s hardship was mainly due to Qiao Zheng Hong wanting to use him to strengthen his position.

  “That’s right. That’s why I hope for you to be mentally prepared. Sooner or later, they will find their way here.” Xiao Qi Tian said worriedly.

  In the past, when Qiao Tian Chang was living alone, he naturally managed to escape from everyone’s sight, but things were different now. He had Ning Meng Yao, and they planned to live a peaceful life in this small mountain village. If that was the case, then no matter what they do, they would surely be a faint trace left behind and their whereabouts would soon be exposed.

  Besides, the news about Qiao Tian Chang marrying Ning Meng Yao would be heard by Qiao Zheng Hong eventually. By then, he would probably come to kill Ning Meng Yao, so that Qiao Tian Chang would return. And by their means, they could further strengthen their family’s position through a more suitable marriage.

  Ning Meng Yao sneered: “I know that they won’t do things that could hurt Tian Chang. I won’t argue with them but if they dare to hurt him, then they shouldn’t blame me if something happens to them.” She had the ability to protect Qiao Tian Chang so she wouldn’t let anyone hurt him.

  Xiao Qi Tian looked at Ning Meng Yao’s sudden burst of energy and felt surprised yet there was also some excitement. Perhaps Ning Meng Yao would bring them many unexpected benefits.

  “You don’t have to worry about Tian Chang. I’ll take care of him.”


  “I used to worry about him, but now that I’ve listened to what you said, I’m completely relieved.” Xiao Qi Tian spoke honestly.

  Ning Meng Yao smiled: “That’s heartening to hear.”


  Xiao Qi Tian stayed at Ning Meng Yao’s place for a while. After eating, he left her place with a few jugs of wine that he had plundered from her.

  “I don’t have much anymore yet you still dare to take five jugs away. You’re really too much.” Ning Meng Yao felt a little heartache as she looked at the loss.

  After Xiao Qi Tian returned to Beijing, he carried the wine to the palace and met with the emperor, Xiao Qi Feng.

  “Your Highness, I’m back.” The relationship between Xiao Qi Tian and Xiao Qi Feng was really well. When there weren’t any outsiders, they usually acted this way.

  Xiao Qi Feng, who was processing some memorial, looked up at his brother: “How is it?”


  “Nothing to worry about. Tian Chang is a lucky man.” Xiao Qi Tian smiled and told Xiao Qi Feng about his conversation with Ning Meng Yao.

  Xiao Qi Feng paused to listen and smiled. “If that’s the case, I’m relieved. All these while, Tian Chang had been reluctant to get married. I thought he would be alone for a lifetime. I would never have expected Ning Meng Yao’s appearance in his life.”


  “Your Highness, this is the wine that I stole from Meng Yao. I’ll give you three jugs and keep two for myself. If there were more at her place, I would have tried to take more,” Xiao Qi Tian placed the three jugs on the table. He was looking rather gloomy.

  Xiao Qi Feng said annoyingly: “You little rascal, how much money had you made from her with her cooperation? And you still dare to be dissatisfied.”


  Xiao Qi Tian smiled: “Hey, you shouldn’t say that. Although the wine taste great, they aren’t as good as her grape wine. I have never forgotten the taste of it when I first drank it. If it wasn’t for me passing the message to her, I wouldn’t have the chance to enter her wine cellar.”


  “You’ve taken her underserved gain for granted. How’s it going for Tian Chang?” Xiao Qi Feng felt somewhat helpless for his younger brother.

  Two-thirds of the money he earned was filled into the national treasury. He didn’t like the imperial things but he liked to do business. He was also a simple person, as long as he liked it, he wouldn’t mind it.

  Speaking of this, Xiao Qi Tian’s expression became serious: “This matter should be resolved soon. Initially, it only needed a few days to settle, but someone ruined the plan. Tian Chang was so furious that he handled that person seriously. ”


  “Oh?” Xiao Qi Feng was surprised. Tian Chang had always pitied the soldiers, but he actually handled someone this time?

  Xiao Qi Tian laughed: “When Your Highness brother passed the news to him, he was about to get engaged. He had to leave the day after the engagement, do you think he would be happy about it?”


  “True. Please help out Ning Meng Yao if she needs anything.” Xiao Qi Feng thought for a moment, before saying.

  He was actually somewhat unhappy about Qiao Tian Chang’s departure but he understood him. After all, Qiao Tian Chang had suffered too much these past few years. After receiving the news this time, he was once again obliged to attend to it. This made the dissatisfaction in Xiao Qi Feng’s heart disappear.
