"Huh?"
Tang Ningshuang stood there, looking at Jiang Xiaobai's arm where the Elder Princess had twisted it, her gaze rather odd.
After a moment's hesitation, Tang Ningshuang tucked Jiang Xiaobai in, then turned and followed her out.

"No, no, no!"
Tang Ningshuang quickly shook her head. "Please, you must believe me."
"I... I really am very, very, very surprised!"
As she spoke, Tang Ningshuang
