Miss Xiao suddenly glanced at Tang Zhaoqing, and smiled coldly, "I was tasting wine and discussing tea with Sister Zhao in the bamboo forest, but many people saw it, but you kept leaning on me. How did I offend you, but you Trying to ruin my reputation."
Xiao Concubine raised her chin, "I am the right minister's daughter. If I teach you a lesson, I will only be fair and aboveboard. Why use such dirty methods, it would be too flattering to me."
Everyone was dumbfounded by Xiao Concubine's words, but all the noble ladies in the capital knew that Xiao Concubine was a brainless and reckless act, and the Queen Mother and the eldest princess didn't give face, let alone a little Tang Zhaoqing.
Tang Zhaoqing saw the contempt in Concubine Xiao's eyes, and his face turned even paler.
"Hey, girl, you're all right. I was looking for someone to save you just now, and I ran into a young man on the way who claimed to be your cousin."
A woman ran over in a hurry, her face was a little anxious, but the words she said were intriguing.
"What's going on here?" Lu Liyuan asked, and the person who came was Lu Sijing, the prefect's daughter.
Lu Sijing looked around, and then looked at Tang Zhaoqing apologetically, "I didn't do it on purpose, I mistook the flower branches for snakes at the time, which frightened the girl. , where is that son?"
Tang Zhaoqing clenched his fists tightly, "I don't know you at all, why did you help Concubine Xiao frame me, she pushed me into the water."
Lu Sijing suddenly appeared, and Tang Zhaoqing was so angry that all of them came up with bad things.
Mrs. Lu's face darkened, "My little girl didn't do it on purpose. Miss Tang has repeatedly bitten Miss Xiao for no reason. My little girl doesn't know you two. She can still lie and deliberately favor Miss Xiao. It's impossible to inquire about my little girl yesterday. I just came back from my grandfather's house, and I met Miss Xiao for the first time today, and I have no wrongdoing or hatred towards Miss Tang, so there is no need to wrong you."
"Yeah, Sijing won't lie, she just came back." Someone echoed.
Tang Zhaoqing pursed his lips tightly, his chest rising and falling.
Lu Sijing apologized, "Mother, I did not intend to scare Miss Tang."
Mrs. Lu took a deep breath, "Since the Lu family is partly responsible and Miss Tang has no father or mother, the Lu family should prepare a dowry for Miss Tang and apologize."
Xiao Concubine was somewhat surprised, why would Lu Sijing help her, but Lu Sijing winked mischievously at Xiao Concubine, and then glanced at Shen Feng.
Concubine Xiao immediately understood, and when she looked back, she saw the unconcealable disgust in the man's eyes, curled her lips, the Prince of Chen hates domineering women the most, and likes gentle and obedient ones.
Xiao Yu is so aggressive, especially those words, it is a kind of torture to Chen Wang's ears.
Besides, Xiao Concubine has a right-hand minister to protect her, so King Chen can't always watch her concubine from being bullied by Xiao Concubine.
"Miss Tang, stop crying. The Liu family will surely be responsible. It is not difficult to marry you as a regular wife. Don't be a concubine. There is no dignity in disposing of such a thing as a concubine."
Xiao Concubine glanced at Prince Chen intentionally or unintentionally, the disgust in his eyes deepened, he turned his head and left, Xiao Concubine smiled slightly.
"I was framed." Tang Zhaoqing squeezed out a few words from between his teeth, and then spit out a mouthful of blood uncontrollably, his body limp and fell down, looking at Shen Mo.
"Brother Mo, don't even you believe me?"
Shen Mo's eyes were somewhat complicated, and the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed. There was really nothing to see about the bustle of an orphan girl.
Lu Liyuan squinted at Tang Zhaoqing, then at Shen Mo, "Mo'er, don't let mother down."
After everyone left, Shen Mo bent down to support Tang Zhaoqing, Tang Zhaoqing turned his eyes with joy but met a pair of cold looks, and his heart sank.
"That maid was sent by you to call my second younger brother." The tone of the question was obviously very calm, which was enough to startle Tang Zhaoqing.
"You forgot, what I hate the most is the feeling of being cheated."
"Brother Mo..."
Shen Mo's expression was calm, he grabbed Tang Zhaoqing's wrist tightly with one hand, probed Tang Zhaoqing's pulse with two fingers, and smiled with his lips curled up, "It's such a deep internal force."
Tang Zhaoqing was startled, and immediately wanted to withdraw his hand, but Shen Mo grabbed it tightly.
Tang Zhaoqing suddenly didn't know what to say, and looked at Shen Mo at a loss, "Brother Mo, listen to my explanation..."
Shen Mo's eyes were calm, "I gave you a chance from the beginning to the end, and now for the last time, if you leave the villa, we will never owe each other. If you refuse to leave, the Liu family will marry you and pass through the villa. Prepare a dowry for you."
Tang Zhaoqing shook his head, "No, no, Brother Mo, I have my own reasons. You should understand how I feel for you. I would not even risk my life for you."
"If you die immediately, I, Shen Mo, will never marry a wife in this life." Shen Mo's sneering eyes deeply hurt Tang Zhaoqing's heart, like a sharp sword that made her nowhere to hide.
"I..." Tang Zhaoqing's throat tightened, as long as she dared to speak, Shen Mo would definitely.
After a long time, Shen Mo let go of his hands and told the guards beside him, "Send Miss Tang out of the villa before dark."
"yes!"
Tang Zhaoqing stared closely at Shen Mo's back, gritted his teeth tightly, and trembled all over.
"Have you seen enough?" Tang Zhaoqing roared angrily, not at all like the delicate appearance before, with a sinister face that made it difficult to approach.
Lu Liyuan brought all the wives together, cleared her throat, "They took her in with good intentions, how could they have such a temperament, hey, I made all the wives laugh."
All the wives waved their hands, "Mrs. Shen is all kind-hearted. How could she know that such a white-eyed wolf would be provoked. Fortunately, it didn't cause a big mistake."
"Yes, Madam Shen, don't mind."
The wives quickly put the matter behind you after talking to each other. There is no need to ruin this peach blossom feast just because of Tang Zhaoqing.
Ning Elegy didn't dare to provoke Xiao Concubine anymore, everyone helped her to speak up, she still didn't admit it was her fault, marrying such a jerk might as well be dead.
Liu Tang's reputation can be regarded as well-known for a hundred miles around, and when he came to the villa, he winked at him, it was disgusting!
Ning Elegy went back as if fleeing from disaster, and the banquet was much quieter for a while.
Lu Liyuan's eyes lingered on Lu Sijing and Zhao Xian'er, she behaved generously, dignified and elegant, she was a nice girl.
The three of them over there quickly chatted, and Zhao Xian'er looked mysterious, "Just now, Prince Caichen went to look for Master Shen with a face."
Zhao Xian'er squinted at Xiao Concubine, as if pointing something, "It's no coincidence that he came here, you have to be careful."
Xiao Yu curled her lips and wasn't worried at all, "What are you afraid of, he doesn't dare to mess around."
What Xiao Yu clearly wanted to say was that he was not the only one who came.
"How do you know?" the two asked in unison.
Xiao Concubine smiled without saying a word, just as if she was swearing.
Finally, when they were about to leave, the three of them said goodbye reluctantly, Zhao Xianer was better, after all, there will still be opportunities to meet in Kyoto in the future.
"My father is going to the capital in a few days, and then I'll go find sister Xiao." Lu Sijing said with red eyes.
Concubine Xiao nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for you in Kyoto."
There were still some guests who stayed at the villa, planning to visit again the next day, so Lu Liyuan hurried to get ready.
After a day of exhaustion, Lu Liyuan was obviously very happy to send Tang Zhaoqing away, and he found a few girls he liked, no matter how tired he was, it was worth it.
Shen Mo went to the bamboo forest without saying a word. Shen Yi and Shen Feng didn't feel anything. They stayed with Lu Liyuan for dinner before leaving. As for what happened to Tang Zhaoqing during the day, the three of them didn't mention a word .
When Xiao Concubine returned to the yard, she was so tired that she couldn't stand upright. She sniffed hard as soon as she entered the door, and the scent was tangy, she swallowed her throat immediately, and entered the back room impatiently.
As expected, there were a bunch of delicious food on the table, and Xiao Mi's eyes lit up.
"Cough cough." Someone covered his mouth and coughed lightly, stretched his waist, and it was only then that Xiao Concubine noticed Zhao Zun.
"Why are you here?"
Zhao Zun rolled his eyes angrily and said heartlessly, "I've been waiting for you to eat."
Without Zhao Zun's mention, there were only two people left in the room. Zhao Zun stretched out his big hand and hugged Concubine Xiao into his arms and put her on his lap.
Xiao Concubine felt a little uncomfortable for a while, and struggled for a while, while Zhao Zun looked tired.
"Your Majesty set off three days earlier than me, but I arrived earlier than him. In order to inform you, I exhausted three horses and dared not delay for a moment."
When Miss Xiao heard this, she immediately stopped moving. Seeing that he was indeed tired, she hurriedly said, "Eat first, and then take a good rest when you turn around. You and I are so familiar, we shouldn't reciprocate."
Zhao Zun rolled his eyes at Xiao Concubine, "Both arms hurt, and I can't hold chopsticks."
Xiao Concubine fed vegetables to Zhao Zun without saying a word, with a courteous expression on her face, if Zhao Zun hadn't reminded her today, Xiao Concubine would have lost face.
Zhao Zun enjoyed the peace of this moment very much, his head was on Xiao Concubine's body, and the faint fragrance at the tip of his nose made him unconsciously feel at ease.
