Chapter 74 Instigate Auntie Behind the Scenes
Chapter 74 Auntie, the instigator behind the scenes
"Very good." He took the spring pouch and smiled slightly, "I like it very much. But I'm tired of having to worry about it."
He called her Qingqing again, but she was too embarrassed to look at him and said, "As long as you like."
On the day of the Bath Orchid Festival, Xie Heng was invited to be a guest at the Changning Marquis Mansion.
After the banquet was over, the girl stopped him and said, "In ten days' time, it will be my birthday. Dad will hold a banquet for me in the mansion. Will you come?"
He replied to her warmly, "Of course I'm here. How could I not come on Qingqing's birthday?"
So that day she got up in the morning and dressed up, wearing her usual favorite gilded opera beaded walking stick, and a white water skirt that covered the floor with a smoke cage. She was dressed delicately and pretty, waiting for him to come.
Just this wait, from dawn to dusk.
He always has a future.
She picked up her skirt and went to look for him in his house, but she saw him coming back from the house drunk.
"Why is my sister here?" He walked forward to hug her drunkenly, and his hot breath blew on her neck, making her tremble slightly.
Qi Chi hurriedly came to help him, "I'm sorry, Miss Zhao. The adults in the Hanlin Academy insisted on dragging our young master to drink today. No, he drank too much and thought the girl was our third girl."
The girl has no doubt that he is there.
She knew that Xie Heng had a younger sister named Xie Shuang, who was the same age as her and was currently waiting in the boudoir and was not yet married.
After the girl left, Qichi helped Xie Heng back to the room.
He drank the hangover soup, raised his hand to rub his frowning brow, and asked Qichi, "When did it happen?"
"Just a few days ago," Qichi replied respectfully, "On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, I went to Xuyu Temple to hold a peace ceremony and pray for peace, and my cousin was kidnapped. When our people arrived, the girl had already called
Mr. Chen's son was rescued. I heard that he was fine. He was just injured all over from being beaten when he ran away. I'm afraid he will need to recover for a long time. It was related to the girl's innocence, and the government did not dare to make it public. Now the leader of the thief is here.
The trial will take place in a courtyard outside."
Lang Jun's deep eyes had already turned cold when he heard that she had been injured all over. He looked at Qichi with a dark and gloomy look in his eyes, "I asked you to guard her, is this how you guard her?"
Qi Chi was trembling with fear and hurriedly knelt down, "Young master, please forgive me, but the Xuyu Temple has been taken over by the mansion and outsiders are not allowed to enter..."
His voice gradually became quieter, and he did not dare to argue anymore.
To outsiders, the young master of his family only thinks of him as refined, humble, gentle and polite, but he is the only one who knows how ruthless and difficult his master is.
No, not only do you know it, but that other person also knows it.
Qi Chi is now secretly blessing her in her heart to wish for more blessings. She wants to marry to Jiangzhou quietly under the nose of the young master? It is simply a foolish dream.
While Qichi was thinking wildly, Xie Heng spoke again, "Who is it?"
He was asking about the person behind the scenes.
Qi Chi came back, "Aunt Fang from the West Courtyard."
He added cautiously, "The government doesn't know about this yet, and is busy interrogating the thief. How about we spread the news and let the master know?"
"Need not."
Xie Heng knew his father's temperament.
With so many years of love there, he couldn't do it anyway, so it would be better for him to do it himself.

Aunt Fang has been frightened and anxious since Yunxi came back.
When she went to meet the robber that day, she was completely wrapped up, with only one eye exposed, so she was not afraid that he would reveal her.
But she was still afraid.
Especially when I came back from Xuyu Temple, I saw Yun Xi's eyes glancing over from time to time. They were clear and clear, as if they had seen through her, and I became even more uneasy.
