Tang Lihua was playing chess with Liu in the Liu family's courtyard. The two of them were black and white. Hearing the maid's biography, Tang Lihua's mouth curled into a smile.
Facing Liu's knowing smile, Tang Lihua said directly, "The prey has fallen into a trap."
Liu Shi was still a little worried at first, but now that her daughter was determined, most of the worries in her heart disappeared immediately.
"Are you leaving now?" Mrs. Liu asked, although preparations had been made long before, and everything was ready, but Mrs. Liu still asked a question.
Tang Lihua shook her head, "I don't know how to do it, I have to let it dry."
Mrs. Liu knew her daughter's plan, she didn't ask any more questions, and let Tang Lihua order her maid to send Xie Yuan away.
This afternoon, Xie Yuan was shut out. Before coming here, Xie Yuan was mentally prepared, but at this time he still had a gloomy expression.
"I'll wait here, and come see me when she is free." Xie Yuan sat down directly, and the servant girl saw him like this, and it was not easy to chase him away, so she went back to her aunt's words.
Tang Lihua was not surprised when she heard the words. Tang Lihua knew exactly why Xie Yuan came, and Tang Lihua was in charge of this matter.
She wanted to go back to Xie's house, but she couldn't go back by herself, she had to be invited back by others.
"Then let him wait, don't worry about it anymore." After Tang Lihua said this, she devoted herself to the chessboard again.
Seeing this, the servant girl withdrew.
The two played chess, several hours passed, Xie Yirou also finished today's lesson, and after afternoon tea, Tang Lihua remembered Xie Yuan.
After apologizing to Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu knew what she was going to do, so she let her go without asking any further questions.
At this time, the sun outside had already set, and Xie Yuan was left to dry for several hours.
The Tang Mansion has no way of hospitality, even tea was not served, let alone pastries.
When Xie Yuan came last time, he managed to get by on the surface, but now he really doesn't care about face, Xie Yuan knows that it must be Tang Lihua's order.
The dislike of Tang Lihua in his heart was even more serious, Tang Lihua, since the last time, Xie Yuan also thought a lot when he returned home.
The reason why Tang Lihua did this was probably because she wanted to attract her own attention, and she didn't want to live a peaceful life like before.
If it hadn't happened this time, Xie Yuan would never have come to see her again. I'm afraid this time was Tang Lihua's trick to force her to come.
During the period of being treated coldly, Xie Yuan confirmed his guess that it is impossible for a person to change so much in a short period of time, and Tang Lihua loves him in the first place, so it seems that all these methods are the methods of Mrs. Houzhai.
But Tang Lihua probably didn't know, he had already seen through her mind, Guan'er was the only one in his heart, no matter how many tricks she had, he would not be moved in the slightest.
Tang Lihua didn't know that Xie Yuan had such a thick skin, and she made up so much of it.
If he knew, he would probably be disgusted too.
Xie Yuan frowned while meditating, when he heard footsteps outside, he raised his head and saw Tang Lihua, who was more radiant than the last time he met, which shows how good she is living in the Tang family.
"I really neglected Mr. Xie. I couldn't find time to see Mr. Xie after playing chess with my mother. I think Mr. Xie is magnanimous and will not blame him." With a smirk on Tang Lihua's face, Xie Yuan stood up, "You Come, come back to the mansion with me, live here long enough, it's time to go back."
Tang Lihua showed a look of surprise, "Could it be that Mr. Xie didn't go to see the doctor, the problem of blindness and deafness seems to be more serious, and his brain is not good, Mr. Xie has forgotten everything he said before, so let me talk to you again Say it again?"
Xie Yuan turned cold, "Tang Lihua, if you make a fuss too much, it won't end well."
Tang Lihua also lowered her face, her body exploded, and she sneered at Xie Yuan, "What are you, if you want me to fight with you, you are worthy?"
"Say it straight, if you say any more nonsense, get the hell out of here."
Xie Yuan stared at Tang Lihua with deep eyes, not seeing anything unusual, and finally knew that Tang Lihua was telling the truth.
After a long time, Xie Yuan lowered his tone, "I think you are aware of the rumors in Beijing, if the rumors continue to spread, it will not be good for the Xie family or the Tang family. If you still know what it means to take care of the overall situation, you should know that now How to do it."
"Joke, I don't think rumors have any influence on my Tang family, so what if they have influence, what does it have to do with me when you and I reconcile?" Tang Lihua sneered.
Xie Yuan choked, what Tang Lihua said was reasonable, but in fact, even if they were at odds, in the face of such rumors, everyone's attention was still on the man, and Tang Lihua was more sympathetic to Tang Lihua.
If Tang Lihua said something outside again, for example, they stopped having sex more than ten years ago.
What would the people outside think? Didn't this indirectly confirm the rumor? How could he gain a foothold in the court then
Do you want to always look at other people's strange eyes
"What do you want, as long as you help me get over this matter, I will no longer be what I used to be, how about it?" Xie Yuan thought he had taken a big step back, isn't this what Tang Lihua wanted
Tang Lihua laughed straight away, looked at Xie Yuan with a surprised face, and asked curiously, "How come you have such a big face, and you think I'm still like before? It's really ridiculous."
Xie Yuan was ridiculed by the laughter, his whole body was covered with black clouds.
After Tang Lihua laughed out loud, she finally stopped, and she even burst into tears.
It's been a long time since I saw someone talking to himself like this, it's really a lot of fun.
"What on earth are you going to do? Even if you don't care about Xie's family, is it possible that you don't care about Xie An's reputation? And Xie Yirou, I am their father, my reputation is ruined, and it will affect both of them." Xie Yuan became angry from embarrassment. .
When Tang Lihua heard him mentioning her children, she straightened her expression and fell silent. Yes, children are her weakness. Even if she was happy to see Xie Yuan's jokes, she couldn't ignore them.
This meant that Tang Lihua had to endure the nausea and come out to clarify for Xie Yuan... no wonder.
WTF.
Although she thought so in her heart, Tang Lihua remained silent on the face, as if she had been hit by Xie Yuan's words.
The atmosphere fell silent all of a sudden, and Xie Yuan didn't speak, just staring at Tang Lihua's expression.
After a long time, Tang Lihua sighed dejectedly.
Xie Yuan knew that this was Tang Lihua's compromise, and there was a hint of complacency in his heart, no matter what he said, it was not a compromise in the end.
"It's fine if you want me to go back, but I have a few requests. If you can't agree, then you don't have to ask me about this matter." Tang Lihua said.
Xie Yuan nodded, "Just don't go too far."
"I'll go back with you, Rou'er must stay here." Tang Lihua said.
Xie Yuan frowned, not waiting for him to speak.
Tang Lihua taunted directly, "According to your mother's temperament, can Rou'er live a good life when you go back? You don't feel sorry for me, and if you don't agree to this matter, then there is no need to say more."
Xie Yuan finally agreed.
"Secondly, I will help you with your affairs. It's just that I brought the dowry to Xie's family. Please take it back from your mother. I will leave it to Rou'er in the future." Tang Lihua said, eyes The meaning of ridicule is stronger.
"I don't know how your Xie family was brought up. The mother-in-law actually snatched up the dowry of your daughter-in-law. Whose family has done such unscrupulous things? If it spreads, I will be ashamed." people."
Xie Yuan's face was ugly again, Tang Lihua was clearly mocking her mother, but she was also mocking herself.
It's just that my mother did not do it properly, Xie Yuan did not hesitate this time, and directly agreed.
"I only give you two days. When will your mother return all my dowry, and when will I clarify this matter for you." Tang Lihua compensated.
Xie Yuan was lucky, and he was very angry, but he couldn't take Tang Lihua, so he could only agree.
"Okay, that's all I can think of for now, you go back first." Tang Lihua waved her hand away.
"What do you mean?" Xie Yuan said with a cold face, "I agree to everything you said."
Tang Lihua nodded, "You agreed, but I didn't say I'm going back now."
Xie Yuan felt that he was getting more and more out of control in front of Tang Lihua, the kind of out-of-control that he couldn't exert himself when he was being played by others.
"I'll go back tomorrow by myself, so I won't be with Master Xie, I'm afraid I'll be offended." Tang Lihua put on a big smile, "So please go back first, sir."
After Tang Lihua finished speaking, she didn't look at Xie Yuan's extremely sad face, turned around and went out, while walking, she asked the maid beside her what dishes were prepared for dinner today.
Xie Yuan stared at her back until she disappeared completely, then kicked the table next to her, venting the pent-up anger in his heart.
The servants were still guarding outside, and they didn't pay any attention to the movement inside, they just guarded the gate on their own, Xie Yuan returned to Xie's mansion, it was already dark.
He smelt of alcohol, obviously he came back after eating food and drinks outside.
Mrs. Yu was still waiting for the news from here. When she saw that the master was helped out of the carriage by the attendants, and the carriage behind was empty again, she immediately knew that there was probably no one to pick him up this time.
At this time, Mrs. Yu was very sensible and didn't go up to find a sense of existence, but went back to the old lady's yard silently, and said what she saw one by one.
Mrs. Xie frowned when she heard this, "Could it be that he didn't go to Tang's house, but went to drink away his worries?"
This is not impossible, after all, if a man is spread such words outside, he will not be able to bear it.
The old lady Xie sighed, and ordered the kitchen to make hangover soup, and did not urge anyone to ask after that.
Tang Lihua said she would be back tomorrow, and Mrs. Liu knew about it, so she began to prepare.
The next day, Xie Yuan directly asked for leave because of his hangover yesterday. When he woke up, he was dizzy and it was noon.
The first thing Xie Yuan said when he got up was to ask Madam if she came back.
The attendant who served him was stunned by the question, and then shook his head, "The little one didn't hear anything."
Xie Yuan's face, which was already bad because of the headache, suddenly became even uglier.
After washing up, Xie Yuan had eaten his lunch when he heard movement outside.
Immediately afterwards, a young man hurried in.
Xie Yuan lowered his face, "So unruly."
The little servant was so frightened that he knelt down and pleaded guilty, and then said, "Master and Madam are back, Madam, she...she..."
The boy didn't know what to say, and finally said anxiously, "Master, you should go and see for yourself."
