Ancestor Xi watched Liu Qing go away, and finally couldn't help but let out a sigh in her heart. Her great-grandson had really grown up, but his cold side didn't seem to change at all. Maybe his gentleness was only for Yu Tianrong, but...
Does this also mean that he has not let go of that matter yet?
Xi Bingxuan was somewhat comforted by Patriarch Xi's reaction. He didn't want to ask Liu Qing how to deal with Hongyin. All he wanted was a result, and Liu Qing would naturally not disobey his order.
"Master, Madam and Master Feng are out. I have sent four people to protect you secretly, so that they can pass the news back at any time."
"Well done." Xi Bingxuan nodded lightly, "Let Feng Hua take her with him for the time being. He is alone now and has no complicated things to worry about. Pei Ruochen and I have our own difficulties and must deal with the things in front of us.
That’s it, send four more people to follow you secretly to protect the wife. If something happens that you can’t handle, remember to tell them, and be sure to leave two people behind to keep in touch!”
"Yes, please keep this in mind." Liu Qing originally thought that sending four masters was enough, but he didn't expect that the young master would be so nervous. Alas, the lady did not know that the blessings she had accumulated over several lifetimes could make someone like the young master worried.
Xi Bingxuan looked at the sky. It was time to go to court again. Those guys who were ready to move seemed unable to escape without letting them completely give up. "Liu Qing, continue to have people monitor the movements of those people. We want to find the best ones."
Opportunities come to you at once!”
"Sir, they are very cunning. After you came back, they have restrained themselves a lot, and even their actions have become more disciplined. I suspect that they want to be prepared to act when they are very sure. You see..."
"Humph, let them alone. They are just a group of civil servants and two princes with little real power. The only person who needs to be afraid of the most is the right general. The others don't matter."
"Yes, I understand, but I cannot underestimate those literati. Their power of incitement is not low!"
"Okay, let you handle it then!" Xi Bingxuan felt more and more tired of those things, but he still had to handle them well before he could resign to Xinjun and go into seclusion.
Liu Qing nodded, then glanced at Xi Bingxuan, "Sir, do you really plan to resign after handling those matters?"
"Well, as for the position of Marquis, let him give it to him in the future!" Xi Bingxuan sighed. This can be regarded as the only gift he gave him! In the future, his and Tianrong's children will naturally not need to be a Marquis, so this position will be given to him.
It doesn't matter who you are, as long as you are of the Xi family's blood.
There was regret in Liu Qing's eyes. His master could have become a man above ten thousand people, but he gave up for a woman. Alas, he was just a guard and had no right to interfere with his master's decision. It was always the master's wish.
He just does whatever he wants without asking too many reasons. I hope the young master really finds his own happiness!
"Master, there is one more thing that I think I should tell you." Liu Qing thought for a while and whispered.
Xi Bingxuan glanced at him in surprise, "What's going on?"
"Sir, that woman is back!"
"who?"
"Feng Wan'er."
Xi Bingxuan's eyes darkened, "Really? Who did she come back with?"
"Currently, my subordinates have only received news that she has returned to the capital. No other information has been found yet. Our ancestors knew about this two days ago. However, our ancestors said that you just came back, so don't disturb you."
Could it be that the ancestor told Tianrong that thing just because she came back? So, how much did you say and what did you tell Tianrong?
Thinking of Tianrong's performance that night, he couldn't help but smile. Although it was not very honorable, he didn't mind if he could make her show that she cared about him. He didn't mind being embarrassed in her heart!
Liu Qing was very puzzled when he saw Xi Bingxuan's smile, "Master, you--" Master, isn't it because the old love is unforgettable?
Xi Bingxuan smiled lightly, "It's okay. If she comes back peacefully, you won't need to pay attention to her. If she has ulterior motives, then repay her well. Just go ahead and do it without any scruples. In addition,
You must protect your wife’s safety.”
"Yes, I understand!" Liu Qing saw Xi Bingxuan's generous demeanor and the fact that he didn't care about the woman at all. He suddenly felt happy. The young master can really take it up and let it go. He was afraid that the young master hasn't let him go yet.
Ah! It seems that it is the madam’s charm that allows the young master to change so much!
Before the two of them finished speaking, they heard hurried footsteps approaching. Xi Bingxuan frowned slightly and waited for the person to come in. Liu Qing glared at the person with dissatisfaction, "What's the matter? How rude are you?
?”
"My lord, please forgive me. I have something important to report."
"Say it!"
"There was an accident at Hongdoufang."
What! Xi Bingxuan's cold eyes swept away, "What accident?" In order to take care of Yu Tianrong's preferences, he specially asked several masters to study in Liguo for several months before opening Hongdoufang. It is exactly the same as the one in Liguo.
Hongdoufang, I don’t like people making trouble there the most.
The boy was sweating and panting and said: "Master Hou, it's a woman who came to our shop to eat. After eating, she said she had a stomachache..."
Woman? Xi Bingxuan glanced at him dissatisfied, "You can't handle a woman?"
The boy suddenly started sweating profusely, "Master Hou, it's true that the woman said she was your old friend, and the shopkeeper didn't want to be presumptuous, so he sent me to report to you!"
Old friend? Xi Bingxuan's eyes darkened, and Liu Qing's face also darkened. They all thought of a woman, the Feng Wan'er mentioned just now.
Liu Qing sighed, "Sir, why don't you go and handle it yourself?"
"Okay, just go ahead. Although it's a bit overqualified, you can make her leave in disgrace. Remember, don't let her touch the things in our shop, so as not to spoil Madam's appetite."
"Yes, sir, please don't worry, I will save you."
…
Liu Qing came to Hongdoufang and saw that the matter was not a big deal, but was led to a private room by the waiter. He praised the shopkeeper with satisfaction, "You did a good job. I will tell the young master after the matter is settled, and the young master will definitely reward you."
Yes! Just go and entertain other guests, I will take care of it here!"
"Yes, thank you for the hard work, Guard Liu!" The shopkeeper stood there and let the waiter leave.
Liu Qing walked into the private room. When the people inside heard the noise, they immediately looked over with gentle faces. When they found that it was only Liu Qing, their expression suddenly darkened, "Why is it only you?"
Liu Qing snorted coldly, "Otherwise, who else would Miss Feng want?"
"Where is the Marquis?"
Feng Wan'er has to be said to be a natural beauty. Not only her figure is enchanting, but her eyes are enough to charm many men. She is pitiful, but also a bit stubborn and stubborn. Back then, the young master was also deceived by her.
Ah! When Liu Qing thought of what happened back then, she became even more unhappy with the beauty in front of her. "Young master is busy with affairs, so he naturally has no time to pay attention to such trivial matters. I wonder why Miss Feng appears here?"
"Busy with official duties? Does the Marquis not want to see me? Go and tell him that I have something to tell him. I had my reasons back then!"
Liu Qing smiled coldly, "Miss Feng, you should go back. How can the young master have time to see you? The young master still remembers to finish the business and go to accompany his wife!"
"Madam?" Feng Wan'er's face turned pale, "You said he is married?"
Liu Qing gave her a strange look, "Our young master is both talented and beautiful, why don't you marry a wife? What's more, our wife is talented and a rare woman in the world. The young master and his wife are a match made in heaven. It's rare that they meet by chance. Why not?"
marriage?"
When Feng Wan'er heard the talk about talented and strange women, she felt like her heart was stabbed hard. Why did he get married? Did he just forget about himself?
Liu Qing glanced at the woman in front of him with disgust, "Miss Feng, I wonder what happened to you here? Master, tell me, I have to handle the matter as soon as possible and go back to other things."
"I-I...it's okay, I just want to see him!"
"But the boy said you had a stomachache after eating pastries?"
Feng Wan'er's face turned pale and flushed, as if she was ashamed, "That's what I lied about. I just wanted to see the Marquis."
There was undisguised contempt in Liu Qing's eyes, which hurt Feng Wan'er's heart. She lowered her head in shame, but what could she do? She didn't have the courage to go to Xi Mansion to see him, but she wanted to see him after all!
"Liu Huwei, can't the Marquis see me just once? Just once, I have no other request, I just want to take a look at him!"
Liu Qing looked at her coldly, "I'm sorry, Miss Feng, our young master is really busy and we don't have time to entertain people who have become a thing of the past. Besides, Miss Feng, any woman who has a bit of shame, I
I feel that after she did what you did, she shouldn’t have the nerve to come see the Marquis! However, obviously, I underestimated your thick skin, which really made Liu sigh, you are really amazing!"
"I -" Feng Wan'er looked at Liu Qing with a sad face. Seeing Liu Qing's contempt, her heart trembled even more. A guard hated her so much. So, did he hate her even more? He hated her even more.
I'm not happy to see her either.
At this moment, a cheerful voice came from downstairs, "Madam, you are here, just tell me what you want to eat!"
"Hehe, shopkeeper, you are already the boss, yet you are so polite and you are not afraid of other people's jokes. I am still the same as before, please serve me some red bean cake!"
"Yes, madam, go into the inner courtyard and wait for a while. I will have someone take you in later!"
Feng Wan'er raised her head and looked at Liu Qing, "Is the lady the shopkeeper called -"
"Yes, but I advise Miss Feng not to have any heretical thoughts. Otherwise, if the young master is angry, it will be as simple as expelling you from the capital!"
"Master Hou cares about her?"
Liu Qing smiled proudly, "That's natural, no one is as important as Madam!"
