After her mind was read, the spoiled brat became the darling of the whole group.

Chapter 386 Visiting a Brothel

The Xie family is a large family. Even if there is affection, it's only a small part. The rest is all about assessing your value.

Xie Tongchen was silent for a moment before asking, "What about the tiger tally?"

Xie Yuhe waved his hands and said, "I didn't take it."

Xie Tongchen: "..."

His eyes widened slightly: "If you don't hand over the tiger tally, are you planning to have your property confiscated and your head beheaded by the emperor in three days?"

Xie Yuhe rolled his eyes at Xie Tongchen and said, "Taking the Tiger Tally now would truly mean severing all ties with that girl."

Xie Tongchen said helplessly, "That girl is just upset that we're not treating her well. Let's get the tiger tally first, and then we can treat her better."

Xie Yuhe glanced at Xie Tongchen speechlessly: "You brute, you're supposed to learn to be completely devoid of cunning on the battlefield. Do you think that girl is still the same as when she first entered the manor?"

If only we could coax them, they wouldn't have brought up the matter of severing ties with their family.

Xie Yuhe shook his head, bowed respectfully to Luo Mengfei from afar, and then walked out.

Xie Tongchen grew anxious. He turned to look at the Fifth Princess's palace, wanting to go in and ask Xie Xing about the whereabouts of the Tiger Tally. However, after glancing at the Fifth Princess looking in his direction, he gritted his teeth and gave up, turning around and leaving with Xie Yu.

"So you're not planning to take the tiger tally back?"

Xie Yuhe said, "Of course we intend to take it back, but we don't intend to sever ties with the family."

In such a short time, Xie Yuhe had already come up with a plan in his mind.

……

Here.

Luo Mengfei returned to the palace in a huff. Xie Xing was lying on a soft chair, reading a book. When he saw the Fifth Princess return, he looked at her:

"Princess, what's wrong?"

Luo Mengfei's eyes were red as she looked at Xie Xing: "Do you think Xie Tongchen doesn't like me, Princess?"

Xie Xing raised an eyebrow and looked at the Fifth Princess with curiosity.

Yo?

So you finally figured it out?

Xie Xing leaned over and asked, "Why does the princess say that?"

Luo Mengfei said angrily, "Is he a block of wood? I've been smiling so much while I'm by his side, but he either gives me the runaround or doesn't talk to me at all."

"I'm so angry!"

Xie Xing thought for a moment and then said, "Maybe he really isn't interested in the princess."

"Hmm?" Luo Mengfei's smile vanished, and she turned to glare at Xie Xing.

Xie Xing felt a chill run down his spine from her gaze and readily changed his tune: "However, as a princess, you don't see my second brother very often. Maybe if you see him more often, you can develop feelings for him?"

Luo Mengfei was finally satisfied.

She said, "I think so too. After all, I am beautiful and well-behaved. That blockhead Xie Tongchen will realize how good I am sooner or later."

As she talked, Luo Mengfei managed to calm herself down.

A blush rose on her fair cheeks as she said, "After we are married, I will make him fall in love with me."

Xie Xing chuckled twice.

Haha.

as long as you are happy.

"Alright, stop looking at that tattered book of yours. This princess is extremely bored. You will come with me out of the palace."

"Leaving the palace?"

Xie Xing looked at Luo Mengfei with a puzzled expression and asked, "Can we still leave the palace?"

Luo Mengfei raised her chin. "Of course not. There's always a way. You country bumpkin, following me, your good fortune is yet to come."

"go!"

Xie Xing was pulled up by the Fifth Princess.

She originally thought that the Fifth Princess intended to ask the Emperor of Chu or Consort Lin to let them leave the palace, but she did not expect that she would actually have the two of them disguise themselves as men and sneak out of the mansion to visit brothels!

This was Xie Xing's second time entering this brothel.

At that time, the two were dressed in men's clothing and wore hoods, looking exactly like rich young masters.

Originally, Luo Mengfei planned to change into men's clothing before going out, but Xie Xing couldn't bear to look at her; he could tell at a glance whether she was a man or a woman.

So Xie Xing made some modifications to the two characters.

Even the insoles have been increased by more than ten centimeters.

The two of them looked exactly like young masters from a prominent family when they came out.

Luo Mengfei spread her arms and looked at herself with curiosity. "Where did you learn this skill? How did you manage to dress up like a man so well?"

The air was thick with the scent of women's cosmetics, making Xie Xing feel quite uncomfortable.

She stood behind Luo Mengfei and whispered, "Princess, isn't this the right occasion for us?"

"How about we go look around somewhere else?"

Luo Mengfei slapped Xie Xing hard on the back twice, so hard that Xie Xing's internal organs felt like they were about to come out.

Her expression changed slightly, and she frowned, looking at Luo Mengfei with a speechless expression.

"What are you afraid of?" Luo Mengfei laughed. "I come to this place often. You timid country bumpkin, today I'll show you something interesting."

"Madam!"

Luo Mengfei gave a shout.

Her shout immediately summoned the madam.

This madam was none other than the same madam who had tricked Xie Xing into becoming a dancer on the ship.

When Xie Xing saw the madam, he immediately cursed her a hundred times and quickly covered his face with his sleeve.

The madam has sharp eyes; Xie Xing was afraid she would recognize him at a glance.

But upon seeing the madam, Xie Xing realized that he probably couldn't go into the brothel.

The madam is backed by the power of four major clans. If Luo Mengfei, a princess, were to visit a brothel and be discovered, it would be bad if someone were to seize on her secrets.

Xie Xing tugged at Luo Mengfei's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Princess, let's go. I know this madam. She's very sharp-eyed. If she discovers your identity, people will definitely gossip about it."

Luo Mengfei turned to look at Xie Xing and took out a token symbolizing her identity from her pocket.

The madam's expression changed as soon as she saw the token.

She looked Luo Mengfei up and down, and exclaimed in surprise, "So you're the Fifth Princess?"

"Oh dear, I almost didn't recognize you today. You look just like a man."

"Go and prepare a fine private room for me. Everything else can remain the same as before."

"Yes, this old servant will go and prepare it right away."

The madam excitedly agreed and left.

As she turned to leave, the madam glanced at Xie Xing, who was hiding behind the Fifth Princess, with her slanted eyes.

Xie Xing: "..."

Xie Xing was dumbfounded.

She opened her mouth slightly and looked at Luo Mengfei.

Judging from Luo Mengfei's appearance, it seems like she's been here quite a few times.

Seeing Xie Xing's surprised expression, Luo Mengfei laughed and said, "Look at you, so timid. This isn't my first time in a brothel. Who would dare to speak ill of me behind my back?"

"If I, the princess, hear even a single word of this rumor, I will definitely ransack this brothel."

Xie Xing: "..."

Xie Xing had nothing to say but give Luo Mengfei a thumbs up.

Cow.
