The waiter in the restaurant was very discerning and could tell at a glance who this young man in white clothes was who was in a hurry. But before he could lead Mr. Xie to the private room, the eldest son suddenly went upstairs on his own, and he looked like he was going to force himself.
Get a private room.
This is the private room of the princess. No matter how powerful the Xie family is and how noble the eldest son of the Xie family is, they still have to be on a first-come, first-served basis.
"Thank you, Mr. Xie, there is someone in this private room, so you can't go in."
The sound insulation here is not very good, and the three people in the room clearly heard the waiter calling for Mr. Xie.
Jiang Yujin's expression changed: "Xie Lingmu is here? Why is he here suddenly?"
Nan Qing was not surprised when she heard this. She would always have someone keep an eye on her when she went out. The person following her must have seen her meeting the heroine, and then went back and told Xie Lingmu that he couldn't hold it any longer.
The Imperial Master was also a little surprised. The main reason was that when the Xie family master heard that there was someone in the private room, he wanted to force his way in. This was really not in line with the style of the eldest son of the aristocratic family.
The door was forcefully opened from the outside.
Xie Lingmu, dressed in white with a jade crown, strode in. He immediately saw Nan Qing, who was flushed from drinking, and the ten wine bottles on the table.
I ordered so much wine just to get the little girl drunk.
Xie Lingmu walked up to Nan Qing, then bowed slightly: "Master Imperial Master, Princess, you two nobles are so pleased to have a drink here, so I will go back with my family members and not disturb you two more."
"Wait a minute."
Jiang Yujin shouted, "This young master of the Xie family is too arrogant. They are still here and want to take people away like this!"
Jiang Yujin: "Mr. Xie, are you a bit rude by rushing into our private room?"
Xie Lingmu looked indifferent and said: "It is indeed rude, but the princess suddenly asked someone to take away the maid in my house. How should I deal with this matter?"
Jiang Yujin just invited Nanqing for a drink, but Xie Lingmu wanted to slap a big hat on him.
The Imperial Master took a few glances at the man in front of him. He had a gloomy brow and was not an easy person to get along with.
"These are all misunderstandings. Mr. Xie, the maid in your house is my drinking companion. Today is just a small drinking party." The Imperial Master said with a smile on his face.
The Xie family of Chen County is a century-old family with a deeper foundation than the royal family. They must not be offended rashly.
The Imperial Master smiled at Nan Qing and asked him to calm down.
Now that he has recognized this niece, he will definitely not let her be wronged, and he will definitely not let her stay in the Xie Mansion.
But today we can't confront him head-on, and what happened today can't be leaked out. He will ask for the imperial edict as soon as he returns to the palace, and not even the head of the Xie family, let alone the eldest son of the Xie family, will be able to stop him.
Although Nan Qing didn't quite understand what the Imperial Master's smile meant in detail, he could probably understand the general idea.
When the Imperial Master spoke, Xie Lingmu still wanted to show off his face.
Xie Lingmu stretched out his hand to hold Nan Qing, lowered his eyes and calmed down: "She is the maid in my house. She suddenly disappeared when she left the house today. After inquiring, I found out that the princess brought her to the restaurant. She has been with me for a long time.
I already have feelings, so I was rude just now."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's because Yu Jin didn't think carefully enough and didn't make the arrangements properly, so Mr. Xie misunderstood." The Imperial Master always had a smile on his face when he spoke.
Jiang Yujin didn't interrupt, she knew that the master must have a plan.
Apart from her master's love of drinking, she has no relatives besides herself as her apprentice. She finally found out that she has a niece in her fifties, and she will definitely not let her be wronged.
Xie Lingmu: "Since the person has been found, I will take him back without disturbing the princess and the imperial master's leisure time."
Imperial Preceptor: "Okay, you can go back."
Jiang Yujin's eyes widened a bit, and he just watched helplessly as Xiaoqin was taken away by Xie Lingmu.
"Master, you just let Xiaoqin be taken back like this?"
"She will be brought back tomorrow morning at the latest, Yu Jin, I have to go to the palace now."
Jiang Yujin: "Why did you come to the palace?"
"I have finally found a relative after decades of hard work, so naturally I have to go to the emperor to give him a title." The Imperial Master picked up a pot of wine on the table and drank it.
There is an imperial edict to thank Ling Mu and it is impossible not to let him go.
…
The carriage passed through the busy city. There was a bustling sound outside, but inside the carriage it was eerily quiet.
Xie Lingmu held him in his arms, Nan Qing sat on his lap and was pressed by him, her head buried in his chest.
"What did you just say in the private room? Xiao Qin'er, what are you plotting?"
Plotting to leave me?
