Chapter 16 I feel Xu Ye deserves sympathy
Chapter 16 I think Xu Qianye deserves sympathy.
Qian Renxue noticed an ominous gaze fixed on her, and she couldn't help but turn around, only to meet Tang San's vicious eyes.
Tang San abruptly suppressed his killing intent, and Qian Renxue glanced at him expressionlessly, not even giving him a second look.
The two of them decided to take Xu Qianye home first, and then Qian Renxue would mention the system notification to Mo Xuewei after they had dropped Xu Qianye off.
Xu Qianye's home is located in a relatively remote area of Tiandou City, where almost all the residents are poor people. The old-fashioned houses can only be reached by passing through dark alleys, where a wooden house that looks like it could collapse at any moment can be reached.
Looking at everything before her, Mo Xuewei realized that no matter the era or the bustling area, there would always be places like this.
Qian Renxue had never discovered such a place in Tiandou City before. She scanned her surroundings.
It's noisy here. Many people live here. There are sounds of children playing, babies crying, and men and women talking and playing cards.
This environment made her somewhat uncomfortable. Qian Renxue glanced at Mo Xuewei, who didn't seem to share her feelings.
"Big brother, big sister, thank you for bringing me back," Xu Qianye said with a smile. She ran into the house, grabbed two apples, and handed them to Mo Xuewei. "These were brought back by Brother Gongyang. They're delicious, so you can have them!"
"..."
Looking at the apple in Xu Qianye's hand, Mo Xuewei felt a pang of sadness. She took the apple from Xu Qianye.
"You're welcome," Mo Xuewei replied.
These apples are very beautiful, and Mo Xuewei and Qian Renxue recognize them; they are apples specially made for the royal family.
In a family like Xu Qianye's, the value of those two apples is self-evident.
Qian Renxue seemed somewhat moved, but not much.
After a moment, Mo Xuewei squatted down, patted Xu Qianye's head, and said with a smile, "Qianye, if you need help, you can come to us in the future. Her name is Mo Xuewei. You just need to go to the supervisory department set up in the city and give them this name to find us. Also, if Tang San and the others cause trouble for you or your brother after today, you can also go there for help. The people there will not stand idly by; they will help you."
Before Xu Qianye could reply, Mo Xuewei stood up. "It's getting late, we have to go. Qianye, get some rest."
After saying that, the two turned around and left side by side.
As Xu Qianye watched their departing figures, she couldn't help but feel moved. She felt as if she had so much to say, yet didn't know how to express it. All her words boiled down to one sentence: "Thank you."

After leaving Xu Qianye's house, Qian Renxue brought up what the system had said.
Mo Xuewei seemed to have expected this, and was not surprised.
The two strolled along the main street of Tiandou City.
At night, after the hustle and bustle, all that remains is quiet.
Qian Renxue said, "Why didn't you tell me that Tang San has the protection of two gods?"
Although she knew Mo Xuewei was hiding something, Qian Renxue didn't expect it to be something so important.
She seemed a little angry, not because of Tang San, but because she felt that Mo Xuewei hadn't been honest with her.
But where is Mo Xuewei dishonest?
She sighed and said, "Your Highness, I'm not sure if he has the protection of two gods. After all, in the book I read, he didn't have any divine protection at this time. However, I had a rough idea of what was going on when I saw him at the brothel. This is different from what I 'knew' about him. To be precise, I only found out now that he has the protection of two gods, but I'm not surprised at all."
"..."
Mo Xuewei's words seemed sincere; her eyes left no room for doubt that she had ulterior motives.
It looks stupid.
She's not even as smart as Xu Qianye. Qian Renxue didn't pursue the matter further; instead, she changed the subject, "Speaking of which, why did you offer Xu Qianye help?"
Following up on the topic, Mo Xuewei replied, "Because I think she deserves sympathy."
"Deserves sympathy?" Qian Renxue gave Mo Xuewei a deep look. "Xuewei, do you know how many people like Xu Qianye are in this world? Are you going to lend a helping hand to every one you encounter?"
Mo Xuewei knew what Qian Renxue was going to say. She pursed her lips and said, "We can't be that lucky to encounter this kind of thing every time. Your Highness, I personally believe that as long as we meet, it's fate. Besides, Xu Qianye isn't a bad person. Maybe she'll be useful to us in the future."
"Use? Xu Qianye is just an ordinary person. She is neither a Soul Master nor has a special identity. She will be of no use to us." Qian Renxue thought this was just an excuse Mo Xuewei used to convince herself. However, Xu Qianye was indeed not a bad person, and the little girl deserved their sympathy in a certain sense.
Mo Xuewei had no words to reply to Qian Renxue, so she chose to remain silent.
Never mind, as long as Qian Renxue isn't angry.
The two strolled around the streets of Tiandou City for a while longer before heading back to the Tiandou Imperial Palace together later.
Mo Xuewei sighed, realizing that she hadn't yet confirmed whether the main event had gone smoothly. She could only send Qian Renxue to the brothel again tomorrow.
Bearing the title of Crown Prince of Tiandou makes everything inconvenient for her, which is really frustrating.
Another day she'll have to ask Qian Renxue to teach her how to drop the pretense; she also wants to go out and wander around for a few more days.
A good night's sleep.
The next day, Mo Xuewei stayed in the East Palace to handle matters, while Qian Renxue went out to check on the avalanche situation.
The day passed quickly, and things unfolded just as Mo Xuewei had predicted.
After enjoying her freedom, Qian Renxue surprisingly began to think that she didn't have to switch back to her original body.
However, this idea was so slight that it was quickly rejected by Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue knew in her heart that no matter how well Mo Xuewei pretended to be Xue Qinghe, she could never become Xue Qinghe.
Mo Xuewei's compassion was too excessive; sometimes she couldn't bear to see Qian Renxue punish the servants.
This sometimes left Qian Renxue feeling helpless.
How could someone who is capable of devising a plan to kill someone invisibly be so kind?
Left with no other choice, Qian Renxue opted to spoil her.
The emotional value that Mo Xuewei brought her was unparalleled by anyone else. She would always look at Mo Xuewei involuntarily and then smile for no reason.
Mo Xuewei's response to her was always a warm smile. She never imagined that her body could smile so genuinely.
Qianrenxue thought,
Mo Xuewei is a gift from heaven, isn't she?
Half a month passed peacefully and happily.
That day, Mo Xuewei was handling matters at the East Palace, with Qian Renxue supervising her.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded outside.
"Your Highness! The Minister of the Inspectorate has urgent business to discuss!"
