Lan Tingshu was beaten, and what he said to Xia Hang reached Xia Xunqiu. She knew Lan Tingshu too well and knew that she was inseparable from her brother. After all, he was her brother, so she did not take this matter to heart. It has been more than a month, and the matter is still spreading in the capital, and the Yunyang Marquis Mansion has spared no effort to bring it back. The Xia Mansion seems calm on the surface, but in fact it is turbulent inside, especially the family members are discussing the matter, and several ladies It is even more malicious, because the principal wife Cao Qian only has one son. If the charges are proven, their son will inherit the title. Xia Zhan's family property will naturally belong to his son, and he will enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future.

After hearing more, Xia Xunqiu couldn't help but worry about her brother. If he was really convicted, how would his mother survive? Although she fasted and chanted Buddha's name, she must have heard about it. Whether she had the ability or not, she could only ask the Bodhisattva to protect her son. Ping An. Xia Xunqiu saw all this in his eyes and didn't want to point it out. He didn't dare to tell his father, and he didn't want to ask his brother. He was left alone with no one to talk to, and he was depressed in his heart.

That day, I took Jianchun and Choodong with me and rode a carriage out of the inner city to the outer city, and unknowingly arrived at the Xidingmen Military Camp.

Still, Jian Chun understood what the young lady was thinking. He looked at the military camp and said to himself: "I don't know if Mr. Tang is here or not. When we get to his place, we have to make him spend a lot of money!".

Choudong only saw Tang Tong once or twice and didn't know much about the lady and him. He asked doubtfully: "Is Miss Lan not here?".

Jian Chun patted her gently and said to Xia Xunqiu: "Miss! There is a teahouse ahead. After walking for a long time, it's time to take a rest and drink some tea?" Seeing that Xia Xunqiu didn't say anything, he shouted to the coachman: "Stop!" The lady wants to go down."

Jian Chun and Choudong went out first. Xia Xunqiu hesitated for a while, then opened the curtain and got out of the car with the help of Jian Chun. When they arrived at the teahouse, they asked for a private room to sit down, and waited for Xia Xunqiu to drink a few drinks. After drinking tea, Jian Chun said solicitously: "I'm going to see if Mr. Tang is here and ask him to come and ask questions." He kept looking at her.

Seeing that the young lady didn't speak, I knew that she had acquiesced. She turned around and went out, letting the four guards guard the door, and then left with peace of mind.

It was only half an hour in the morning when Jian Chun led Tang Tong to arrive. As soon as he entered the door, he heard Tang Tong's voice: "Ms. Xia! Long time no see. How have you been lately?" He lowered his head and did not dare to look at her, with an expression of a humble gentleman. .

Xia Xunqiu looked at him with a special look, full of expectation, and thoughtfully said: "Master Tang is still in good spirits, I can't help but admire him, sit down!", while pointing to the seat opposite.

Choudong moved and asked Tang Tong to sit down. When the tea came, Tang Tong scratched the floating tea leaves with the lid of his cup and asked insincerely: "Miss Xia! You must have something to do with me, please tell me!", his eyes were closed. Looking at her, when Lan Tingmei was around, Tang Tong was a bit unruly, but when there were only two of them, he became more restrained.

Xia Xunqiu admired him very much for maintaining etiquette with everyone he met. He had no ties to Lan Tingmei. He treated her as a man, but he was cautious with himself.

"I recently heard that Miss Lan is worried about her cousin. It's a pity that he can't come out. Can I send you a message or something?" He couldn't talk without her every time, and there was no real conversation between the two of them. Unknowingly, Xia Xunqiu really wanted to talk to Tang Tong, but it was not convenient.

"She sent someone to me a few days ago and asked me to help her cousin, but I couldn't refuse. In fact, I felt quite guilty." Tang Tong did not shy away from speaking out what was on his mind.

"Do you not want to help her, or is there another reason?" Xia Xunqiu still looked at Tang Tong very clearly, feeling that he was still hiding something in his heart.

"The main thing is that I can't help it, and besides, doesn't it have something to do with Miss Xia?" At this time, Tang Tong looked at Xia Xunqiu, as if he was a little aggrieved, hoping that she would understand.

When their eyes met, Xia Xunqiu felt a little flustered, lowered his head and said, "What does this have to do with me?"

Tang Tong also felt uncomfortable. He put his hands on the table and looked at his hands and said, "It's not rumored to be related to Mr. Xia. I'm afraid that I might accidentally ruin something big and I'm sorry for my own conscience." He shook his head and smiled.

When Xia Xunqiu heard that she was caring about herself, she was very happy. However, she still considered her friend's feelings and said a little guiltily: "Miss Lan can rely on you. You have to reach out and don't think too much."

Tang Tong did not expect Xia Xunqiu to be so magnanimous and did not dare to believe it, because women often think differently from what they said. He asked tentatively: "I don't quite understand what Miss Xia means. Is Marquis Yunyang ashamed?"

How can I, Xia Xiang, be ungrateful for promoting me? I'm not that kind of person!" When he spoke, he straightened his back and spoke with plausibility that could not be slandered.

Xia Xunqiu couldn't help but cover her mouth and smile. How could the devil in front of him become like a child? However, this firm and loyal stance was praised in his heart. He couldn't bear to wake up and said: "Can't there be a way to get the best of both worlds?"

Tang Tong saw that Xia Xunqiu was hesitating, wanting to say but not wanting to say, feeling a little at a loss. Xia Xunqiu couldn't help but asked, "Master Tang, is there something unspeakable?" Tang Tong nodded, and then said, "Don't worry.

!Tell me about it!”.

If I didn't say anything else, it would seem pretentious, and I said reluctantly: "I'm afraid that will hurt innocent people, and I'm afraid Miss Xia won't bear it."

When Xia Xunqiu heard that it turned out that she was thinking about herself, she felt touched in her heart. This was something she didn't want to see. She turned her head to one side and lowered her head to think. That was because she was afraid of being blamed. Tang Tong had already seen through her heart.

Thinking of Lan Tingmei, he turned to look at Tang Tong and asked: "It seems that you have a solution. Is this worthy of Miss Lan?".

"If it's Miss Lan's matter, I will go all out, but for Yao Can, it will inevitably involve Xia Xiang, and I can clearly distinguish the pros and cons. Besides, this matter is difficult to handle, so there is no need to stir up this troubled water."

, after speaking out what was in his heart, Tang Tong felt no longer depressed.

Tang Tong was right, but Xia Xunqiu had made up his mind. He stood up and saluted: "I can't care about so much now, so I want to find a solution. For my sake and Miss Lan's sake, I beg Mr. Tang for help."

!", and then bowed deeply.

This made Tang Tong very embarrassed. He was a little confused and stood up immediately. He neither stepped forward nor stepped back. He could only nod his head and said, "Okay! Okay! I'll check it out right now. If I don't get it done, I'll deal with it."

I won’t come to see you!” After saying that, he turned around and strode out of the private room, disappearing.

Xia Xunqiu originally thought that Tang Tong would shirk the blame, but he didn't expect to be so straightforward and left. After everyone left, his eyes were still staring at the door, and he was at a loss for a moment. Seeing the young lady being so rude, Jian Chun came up and said: "Miss Lan

After repeated requests, the young lady went immediately as soon as she opened her mouth. Mr. Tang still listened to the young lady."

"Yes, the young lady bowed and said many nice words." As soon as Jianchun finished speaking, Choudong said in confusion.

When Jian Chun heard this, he became angry and reprimanded: "What do you know? Who has ever agreed to turn around and do it? This is because he took the lady's words to heart." After saying that, he went to help Xia Xunqiu sit down and prepare for the winter.

Although I didn't agree, I had no choice but to stop talking.

"Master Tang is a man who knows how to repay kindness. If the young lady asks him to do it, he will do it without any hesitation!" Jian Chun was afraid that the young lady would misunderstand what he meant, so he explained in a local way.

Only Zhou Dong didn't understand, how could Xia Xunqiu not know, and it was hard to tell him in person. He pretended to be worried and said, "Am I pushing him too hastily? This matter is originally difficult to handle, can he handle it well?"

Jian Chun nodded confidently, "Don't worry, Miss! Mr. Tang already knew this. He didn't agree to Miss Lan at first because he was afraid of offending Miss Lan. Since I promised to handle this matter, I will never involve other people."

Among the maids around her, only Jian Chun was able to observe her appearance. If she didn't say anything, she would hit the mark as soon as she spoke. Xia Xunqiu felt comfortable after hearing this. She smiled at Jian Chun and said knowingly: "I'll lend you your kind words, but

I wish Mr. Tang all the best!".

Jian Chun nodded and said: "Chou Dong, Miss is going back. You go down and prepare first!" Cho Dong did not dare to disobey Jian Chun's words, so he went down. There were only two masters and servants in the room.

"Mr. Tang was very dull just now. He was a little embarrassed to see Miss. It's completely different from the past. I'm sure he likes you, Miss." Seeing that there was no one else around, Jian Chun began to tease.

Xia Xunqiu just looked at her and was not surprised. Jian Chun was even bolder and said with a smile: "Master Tang is good at both civil and military arts and plays the piano well. If he and the lady have the same hobbies, they will definitely get along well. The lady will not consider it."

consider?".

"What are you talking about? He is much older than me, and his conditions are not suitable." Xia Xunqiu actually had this idea in his heart, but did not make a decision and reflexively expressed his concerns.

"I am older and more mature. I have been married and I know how precious things are after loss, and I know how to love others. Besides, he is a rich man and will not wrong the young lady. I heard that he is the most popular in the capital today, and many ladies look up to him.

, Fortunately, his heart is not here." Jian Chun said and looked at Xia Xunqiu. They were completely good sisters talking, without the restraint between master and servant.

Xia Xunqiu didn't expect that Jian Chun, who didn't know the love between men and women, would talk about love affairs in various ways, as if he was not the one he admired but her. He said with a strong voice: "When did you become an expert in love? It's so mysterious.

Do you want to marry him?".

"Young lady is really good at making fun of you. I am thinking about you. Since the last Suntai meeting, Mr. Tang has become famous and has refused several marriages. How dare I lie to others?" Jian Chun thought in his heart. That's not it.

It was just a thought, and it was even more unrealistic. When he saw the young lady doubting him, he immediately defended himself without showing a trace of timidity on his face.

Xia Xunqiu smiled, her purpose was just to test, it seems that this is not the case. She warned: "There is Miss Lan! Don't mention this matter again in the future, or I will definitely punish you." He stared at Jian Chun.

, what you said is serious.

Jian Chun understood. With Lan Tingmei standing in front of him, the young lady refused to admit that she had a crush on Tang Tong. She nodded quickly and said, "Yes! I will never say it again." He sighed in his heart that the young lady was too kind and didn't want to regret her friend.

, is actually doing useless work..

Xia Xunqiu's words had made it clear, and he no longer had any worries. He breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Let's go! I hope Master Tang will succeed as you said."
