The sixth prince said smilingly, "Well, It's rare for you to get in touch with me, shouldn’t I stay here for a while? I almost thought you would never contact me in this life, you see."

Having said that, he turned to Gu Jiao, not shying away from his relationship with Liu Yisheng at all, "I came to the State of Zhao to be a hostage prince, just to convince him to go back with me. He won’t listen to me, so you might as well help me to persuade him."

Gu Jiao: I really don't want to know so much...

"Ah Nu, see that guest off!" Liu Yisheng issued the eviction order without lifting his eyes.

Ah Nu put down the half-woven basket in his hands, got up and came to the sixth prince, then gave him a salute before motioning for him to go out.

The sixth prince who couldn’t believe himself being kicked out of a shabby house: "..."

The sixth prince helplessly patted the rattan chair before leaving with a sigh.

The white cat was very adorable, it was chubby with a soft and bright coat, and petting it gave Gu Jiao so much satisfaction.

The white cat was also very happy to be rubbed while lying sprawled on Gu Jiao's lap, exposing its most vulnerable belly to Gu Jiao.

Liu Yisheng didn't ask Gu Jiao to leave. He continued to make hemp ropes for a while and suddenly said, "My mother is from the State of Chen."

"Hm?" Gu Jiao, who was stroking the cat’s belly, turned to look at him.

Liu Yisheng’s head remained lowered, focusing on twisting the hemp ropes. He originally had a pair of slender and beautiful hands, but grinded by life, they were now covered by scars and calluses. He added, "She’s sisters with Yuan Tang's imperial concubine mother."

Oh, it turned out that the State of Chen’s sixth prince was called Yuan Tang.

Gu Jiao probably understood. Among the two sisters, one went to become an imperial concubine at their country’s imperial palace while the other in an enemy country as a spy. A family that was able to cultivate such a pair of sisters would never be so simple.

"Does the Emperor know?" Gu Jiao asked.

Liu Yisheng shook his head, "I don’t know."

Liu Yisheng was still too young when the Liu Family was convicted for treason, and no one had told him what was happening to the Liu Family then. He just watched the property of the Liu Family being confiscated, and its people beheaded and exiled, leaving only a young child and an old wet nurse who was no longer that robust.

Ah Nu was someone he picked up afterwards.

Liu Yisheng thought for a moment and added, "The Emperor must have not known, but it doesn't matter. I'm already a stray dog anyway."

"Why don't you go?" Gu Jiao asked.

Liu Yisheng laughed at himself, saying, "Where would I go? The State of Chen? I am a stray dog in the State of Zhao, and it will be the same when I go to the State of Chen."

Half the blood flowing in his body belonged to the State of Zhao, and in the eyes of the State of Chen’s people, he was deemed unclean.

Gu Jiao didn't persuade him again.

Everyone had their own life and their own choices. Gu Jiao put down the white cat and got up to leave, "I'm leaving."

Liu Yisheng looked at the white cat left confused on the ground and asked, "Aren’t you going to take the cat with you?"

"No, you keep it." Gu Jiao answered, and without waiting for him to say that he couldn’t afford to raise a cat, she took out a purse and put it on the table, "Food expenses."

Having said that, she stepped out of the courtyard.

Liu Yisheng failed to understand. She had been playing with the cat for an hour and clearly liked it so much, so why leave it here with him? Couldn’t the medical hall keep a cat?

Of course, he just wondered about it in his mind and didn’t actually go to ask Gu Jiao. He didn't even ask Gu Jiao her reason for wanting to go to the palace just to catch a cat. How could he dare inquire?

There were also those who could trust each other even though they didn’t know each other deeply.

Having been petted all afternoon, suddenly, there was no one to caress it. The white cat was lonely and jumped on Liu Yisheng's leg, begging to be stroked.

But Liu Yisheng didn't have the time to pet the cat. He ignored it and continued to make hemp ropes.

"Do you know what would have happened if this cat wasn’t caught in time?"

It was Yuan Tang's voice.

Liu Yisheng looked back and actually saw Yuan Tang walking out of the main hall. It seemed that he came back in through the back door.

Liu Yisheng furrowed his brows, "You haven't left yet?"

"I already said it, you finally contacted me, so I have to stay a little longer." Yuan Tang lay down on the rattan chair where he had been lying before, fiddling with his folding fan with one hand while resting the other hand behind his head. He continued the previous topic, "If the cat hadn’t been caught in time, the new Zhuangyuan would have been hit by it, startling the new Zhuangyuan and scaring the cat itself at the same time. Finally, the frightened cat would have knocked down Ning Wangfei who was passing by. Ning Wangfei is pregnant, I’m afraid the child in her belly couldn’t be saved. The new Zhuangyuan, Ning Wangfei, and the owner of the cat; killing three birds with one stone. What a clever scheme."

Gu Jiao told him she wanted to catch a cat, and Liu Yisheng just took it at face value. He looked at Yuan Tang in confusion, "How do you know?"

Yuan Tang beckoned at the white cat.

The white cat jumped to the ground grumpily, and seemed especially reluctant as it jumped on Yuan Tang's leg.

Yuan Tang grabbed it and said, "Because this is my cat, someone tricked my cat away with dried fish."

After saying so, he lifted the white cat and said coolly, "You dimwit, you almost got me into trouble. Next time you’re so easily abducted, don't blame me for stewing you into a pot of cat meat!"

Gu Jiao's dream was solely focused on Xiao Liulang, so she wasn’t able to see what happened to the white cat and its owner in the end.

"Meow~" The white cat let out a guilty cry.

Yuan Tang poked the white cat's belly. Guilty, the cat obediently let itself be poked. He added, "Rather than asking how I know, shouldn’t you be more curious how that girl knows? I was able to guess it afterwards according to the situation at the scene, but that girl seemed to have predicted everything beforehand."

It was unknown what Liu Yisheng was thinking, but he suddenly fell silent.

Yuan Tang smiled mysteriously, "Do you want me to investigate that girl?"

Liu Yisheng responded with a firm tone, "You'd better not."

Yuan Tang asked, "Why? Are you angry?"

Liu Yisheng lowered his eyes and went on twisting hemp ropes, "I have nothing to do with her, why would I be angry? But if you investigate her and that somehow gets her exposed, it will cause her great trouble. She at least helped you out, even if by chance."

Yuan Tang thought for a moment and nodded, "That's also true." He then looked at the sky and said, "It's getting late. Now I really should go. Here."

Yuan Tang took out some silver banknotes and put them on the table.

Liu Yisheng said without thinking, "Take it away."
