Wen Huaian was quite dissatisfied with the fact that Master Yi, a foreign man who once had ill intentions towards Tang Cheng, had changed his appearance and was living in the mansion.
He felt a sense of crisis.
Tang Cheng didn't notice the hidden jealousy in his words. When he heard Wen Huaian mention Master Yi, he suddenly remembered that Wen Huaian had returned, but the carrier pigeon that sent a letter to them hadn't returned. Tang Cheng looked straight at Wen Huaian and asked, "Where's the carrier pigeon?"
Tang Tang, is this trying to change the subject
Why
Could it be that Tang Tang has feelings for that Mr. Yi...
Wen Huaian narrowed his eyes, paused for a moment, and then continued to stroke Tang Cheng's abdomen with his slender fingers. He calmly replied: "The carrier pigeon should be in the pigeon house, or did you write a letter?"
"Yes, it has flown away for several days, and you have come back, but the carrier pigeon has not come back yet." Tang Cheng looked depressed.
Wen Huaian was surprised.
"I didn't receive your pigeon message."
Tang Cheng was stunned, and reached out to touch his chest: "Impossible, Wen Huaian, do you think the carrier pigeon would be shot down and eaten by someone?"
The more Tang Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. Specially trained homing pigeons generally would not get lost, and the most likely possibility was that they were eaten by someone.
"Carrier pigeons are not reliable at all. It's a big loss to use the pigeons that I have carefully trained and raised to make soup for nothing."
Tang Cheng couldn't help but howl when he thought of the beautiful and agile carrier pigeon being stewed into pigeon soup. He hugged Wen Huaian's arm and lay on him with his whole body limp.
Wen Huaian's mouth twitched, and he stretched out his hands to hug her slender waist, and comforted her: "It may not have been stewed into soup, maybe the pigeon got lost or met a natural enemy."
It's not impossible.
Wen Huaian felt that the greatest possibility was encountering natural enemies.
Tang Cheng said sullenly: "... It's probably going to be bad anyway!"
Wen Huaian: “…”
Seeing Tang Cheng's unhappy look, what could he do but to comfort her.
Tang Cheng's emotions came and went quickly, and she recovered quickly. She remembered that she had not told Wen Huaian about Master Yi's matter yet. Even if Wen Huaian had heard some of it from others, it would definitely not be complete. So Tang Cheng proudly and complacently told him about how she had caught Master Yi's handle and directed a big show with him to trick Liu Jintong.
"This is what happened. To be honest, I only sent the beauty to the Seventh Prince and did not disrupt Liu Jintong's wedding. I was already merciful."
Tang Cheng snorted softly after he finished speaking.
It was just sending a beauty, which was a normal operation. She did not offend the royal family. Look, the seventh prince's wedding had been over for several days, and even the marquis's father had been impeached by the censor, but the emperor did not react and now gave Tang Xin a wave of rewards.
Not to mention the royal relatives.
Tang Cheng knew that the wedding was over.
Tang Cheng was quite proud of this.
Recently, under the secret guidance of people she sent, the whole capital city has been swept by a craze to expose Liu Jintong.
Do you really think she is so easy to fool
Wen Huaian didn't expect Tang Cheng to turn the topic back. After listening to Tang Cheng's words, it seemed that Tang Tang's attitude towards that Master Yi was at most slightly better than that of a stranger, not to mention that Master Yi took money and approached Tang Cheng with a purpose. Tang Cheng definitely would not like Master Yi.
Not to mention that Tang Cheng also cares about looks.
All of Wen Huaian's jealousy disappeared. He pinched Tang Cheng's smooth face happily and nodded in agreement with a smile.
"Well, I did show some mercy."
He was very surprised that Tang Cheng, who liked to take revenge on the spot, let Liu Jintong go. However, despite his surprise, Wen Huaian had already taken note of it. Thinking about the endless stream of beautiful women he met from time to time on the way back, he realized that the situation was very similar to Tang Tang's.
Wen Huaian immediately identified the mastermind behind the scenes—Liu Jintong.
Only she would use such unpresentable means.
But you can't just let it go like this.
As for Tang Cheng's behavior of sending a beauty to the Seventh Prince on the day of his wedding and causing hatred, Wen Huaian simply ignored it.
In his mind, it was just a small matter.
"Wen Huaian, let me tell you something. Recently, people in the capital have been digging up Liu Jintong. I also sent people to investigate, and found a lot of things. Liu Jintong has not only been hoarding grain since last year, but also secretly sold a large amount of private salt to make a huge fortune. I was wondering where she got so much money, and it turns out that she did this. This matter has not been spread out yet. I wanted to go back to the Marquis' Mansion and let my father report to the emperor. Now that you are back, this matter will be handed over to you."
Tang Cheng made a shocking statement, and then happily handed the matter over to Wen Huaian.
Wen Huaian's breath paused, and his handsome face darkened.
"Selling illegal salt?"
The imperial courts of all dynasties had extremely strict control over ironware and salt, and the Zhou Dynasty was no exception.
However, every policy has its own countermeasures, and the trafficking of illegal salt continues despite repeated bans.
Wen Huaian didn't expect that Liu Jintong, the daughter of a small and declining earl, would be so bold as to sell illegal salt for profit.
I don’t know if the Seventh Prince participated.
Wen Huaian narrowed his eyes.
"Yeah, I was shocked when I found out about this. People outside say that I'm bold and reckless. Compared to Liu Jintong, I'm far inferior. You can't judge a person by his appearance."
Tang Cheng wrinkled his nose and said something with a sigh.
Wen Huaian's expression was indescribable. Tang Tang had to compete with Liu Jintong, so he was afraid that Tang Cheng, who loved money, would follow Liu Jintong's example. He quickly said, "Tang Tang, don't follow her. You're good like this."
"Don't worry, our Zhenguo Mansion has a simple population and is not short of money. I like to make money openly, not secretly."
Tang Cheng rolled her eyes at Wen Huaian who was worrying too much. It was not like she felt that her life was too good and that she had nothing better to do such a criminal thing.
"I trust you!"
Wen Huaian thought about it and realized that Tang Tang always had a bottom line when he did things, so his worries were unnecessary.
Tang Cheng lazily lay in Wen Huaian's arms, changing into a comfortable position. His nose was filled with the refreshing and pleasant soap scent of Wen Huaian's body, making him feel satisfied and at ease.
Wen Huaian had just returned, and she kept the fact that Liu Jintong had plotted to murder her and the original owner a secret from him for the time being to avoid spoiling his fun.
Those who do evil will eventually perish.
Liu Jintong is now the center of everyone's attention. She is being stared at by countless eyes. Tang Xin, who seems to know a lot of the truth, is also eyeing her covetously. Sooner or later, she will suffer the consequences.
Tang Cheng is sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.
At this moment, Wen Huaian, who was holding her, suddenly said something.
"Tang Tang, you were waiting for me at the door early today. Did you miss me?"
There was certainty in his tone.
Tang Cheng admitted openly: "Yes."
"I miss you, too." Wen Huaian's voice was low and deep, with a hint of tenderness.
Tang Cheng was very happy. He looked up at his handsome face and said confidently, "It's my duty."
Wen Huaian choked, then burst into laughter and reached out to ruffle her hair.
"Um!"
…
The Duke Zhenguo's Mansion was filled with joy, but it was very lively outside.
After the news of Prince Wen's return to Beijing spread, Liu Jintong and Tang Xin had different reactions.
Tang Xin didn't react much to Prince Wen's return to Beijing, and was completely focused on dealing with the heroine.
Liu Jintong is now unable to take care of herself, and her relationship with the Seventh Prince is not going well. She always feels that there is an invisible barrier between them, and Liu Jintong is irritable and uneasy.
There were more and more negative rumors about her outside, but when she thought about how the beauty trap she used on Wen Huaian was useless and a lot of money was wasted, Liu Jintong became angry and furious.
Liu Jintong was almost in despair as he was defeated miserably every time he faced Tang Si.
This Tang Si is too evil.
Not only that, her trusted maid Yaohong brought bad news with a panicked look on her face.
"Master, it's bad. Suddenly, there are rumors everywhere that the granddaughter of Minister Fu of the Ministry of Revenue has been disfigured, and the innocence of the granddaughter of Lord Yan has been ruined. It's all related to the young lady..."
a bolt from the blue!
Liu Jintong's pretty face suddenly turned pale, and she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and her whole body was cold. The thing she was worried about had really happened...
Who released it
Who is it
When Liu Jintong thought that someone was watching her every move in the dark, her hair stood on end and she felt cold all over.
But until the end, Liu Jintong would never give up.
"Go and dispel the rumors quickly. No matter what method you use, you must prove that these rumors are Tang Si's framing of me."
Liu Jintong said sternly.
"Yes, Master!"
Yaohong gritted her teeth and obeyed the order and went down in a hurry.
This is just the beginning. Who knows what Liu Jintong has done better than Tang Xin who has traveled through the book...
Tang Xin would certainly not miss this great opportunity to bring down the heroine.
No matter how powerful the heroine's halo is, can she defeat the people in the capital and most of the powerful and influential people
Not to mention that the halo of the heroine has been repeatedly weakened by Tang Cheng, the cannon fodder in the book.
Tang Xin was full of confidence this time.
She had a hunch that the heroine would definitely be in trouble this time and pay the price for what she had done!
Tang Cheng didn't even need to do anything, Tang Xin exposed everything Liu Jintong had done.
