The young man was so handsome. Although his appearance was more Qiangmo-like, he still had a kind of beauty that only people from the Yong land could have. His long eyebrows and almond-shaped eyes only made the young man exude a clever and lovable energy.
Who doesn’t love beauty nowadays? What's more, this beauty is well-behaved and smart. She treats you respectfully and makes you submissive.
Naturally, Mistress Xuan Mansion was quickly coaxed by Zhao Lang and sent people to find Xuan Mei.
Even after Xuan Mei arrived, the lady deliberately found an excuse to leave in order to create some opportunities for her daughter.
It was obvious that she completely misunderstood Zhao Lang's purpose.
But this may be a good thing for Xuan Mei.
And the maid with Xuanmei who was by her mother's side said that the Ninth Prince had already inquired about his appearance when he asked to see her. The maids only said that he was good-looking. Although she was mentally prepared, when she actually met Zhao Lang, she I still blushed three points from the beginning.
She only knew that the Third Highness Zhao Yanzhen and His Highness Nada were handsome men, but she did not expect that the Ninth Prince, who was rarely seen in public, was also a first-class beauty.
"I wonder why His Highness Ninth Prince came to Xuan Mansion?" Xuan Mei thought that beautiful men would miss him after just one glance. At this moment, she only stared at Zhao Lang.
Zhao Lang had long been accustomed to this kind of gaze, and he was even proud of it, so he did not dodge it. Instead, he just smiled and said, "Of course I am here for Miss Xuanmei."
As soon as he said these words, Xuan Mei's heart skipped a beat for no reason.
What does His Highness Ninth Prince mean by saying this? Could it be that he has taken a fancy to himself?
It’s really embarrassing to think about it.
Zhao Lang was still looking at Xuanmei, and then softly continued what he said next, "Has Miss Xuanmei ever seen Nada?"
When Xuanmei heard this, she naturally nodded very cooperatively. Did she attend Nada's birthday party a while ago? At that time, my good sister Chen Yanrong also promised to introduce Nada to me.
But His Highness Ninth asked what Prince Nada was doing?
Could it be that His Highness Ninth Prince is jealous?
Thinking of this, Xuan Mei's face turned red, and she quickly explained for herself, "I did attend His Highness Nada's birthday party two days ago, but I only went there at the invitation of Yan Rong, and the whole process was We don’t have much communication.”
Xuan Mei explained very seriously, but in Zhao Lang's eyes, she seemed to be guilty. He deliberately deceived, "Except for the one meeting two days ago, you have really never met in private since then."
Seeing that he didn't believe it, Xuan Mei quickly explained anxiously, "Of course it's true! If you don't believe it, you can ask my good sister Yan Rong."
"Why are you asking her? Are you guys together 24 hours a day?" Zhao Lang said inexplicably.
Xuanmei didn't want His Highness Ninth Prince to misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "Of course it's true! Yan Rong said before that she would introduce me to His Highness Nada, but now two days have passed, and there is no news from her. .”
After saying this, Xuan Mei immediately covered her lips again, as if she had said something she shouldn't have said.
She looked extremely annoyed, why did she say such a thing, so she followed closely and quickly added, "But actually, I don't care much about this matter. It's because Yan Rong still thinks that I am still..." I didn't even agree on the marriage, so I wanted to find a match for me. In fact, I didn't even have the slightest interest in Nanada."...
After saying this, Xuan Mei only glanced at Zhao Lang shyly.
In the past, Zhao Lang liked flirting with girls the most, but now seeing a girl hinting at her before he started flirting with her, Zhao Lang felt a little overwhelmed.
He coughed slightly, then turned to take out the one hundred taels of silver note, "Is this something from your Xuan Mansion?"
Seeing what Zhao Lang said, Xuan Mei naturally took it, and then she nodded, "This is the banknote from Dewang Bank."
She then asked, "How come you have this banknote?"
"Someone gave it to me." Zhao Lang snatched the bank note from Xuan Mei's hand, and then responded in a vague tone.
Is he interrogating her, or is she interrogating herself?
It seemed that he understood that Xuan Mei would continue to ask questions, so Zhao Lang preemptively asked another question, "Where were you at the last hour of the day before? Can you tell me?"
"
Hearing Zhao Lang's question, Xuan Mei's face suddenly turned red for some reason, her tone became hesitant, and her eyes moved around wildly.
You could tell she was flustered.
"Didn't go anywhere? Just...went to Jin Yuxuan to buy some jewelry."
Her tone was obviously a lie, and Zhao Lang wanted to deceive her, so he said with a straight face, "You'd better tell the truth. Since I can tell the time in such detail, then I must know something?" Otherwise I wouldn’t have come to ask you.”
Listening to Zhao Lang's suddenly cold tone, Xuan Mei didn't know why, but her face turned redder, but it didn't seem that she was scared, but just shy.
She glanced sideways at Zhao Lang, then lowered her eyelids, looking shy, "They were just curious about what the husband in the flower house looked like, so they wanted to see it. We didn't do anything. They just played with me." only games."
Then she quickly added, "If you don't like me like this, I just won't go next time."
For some reason, when Zhao Lang heard Xuan Mei's words, he felt like there was some misunderstanding between him and her.
However, it is not ruled out at the moment that the girl in front of him deliberately diverted his attention.
So he just kept a straight face and even knocked on the table and said, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure! We were just throwing pots and drinking wine, and Yan Rong was with us that day. If you don't believe it, you can ask Yan Rong. Yan Rong can prove my innocence!" Xuan Mei then emphasized.
Seeing Xuan Mei prove her innocence again and again in front of him, Zhao Lang always felt that there seemed to be some misunderstanding between him and her.
And Xuan Mei did misunderstand Zhao Lang. She originally thought that Zhao Lang liked her. Although they had never crossed paths before, maybe Zhao Lang had a crush on her.
And seeing that he had a straight face but it was just because he went to Hualou, Xuanmei became more and more sure that this boy just loved him so much that he couldn't express it in his heart. Now he must be jealous because he sees her having an affair with another man.
I have to say that Xuan Mei’s power of association is really exaggerated.
Although Zhao Lang thought Xuan Mei's attitude was strange, he quickly focused on the other name she mentioned.
Chen Yanrong, isn't that the girl from the eldest room of the Chen family?
This eldest lady is a model among women and has a very good reputation.
How could such a person with such a good reputation follow Miss Xuan to the Flower House?
Thinking of this, Zhao Lang also asked, "What do you mean? Miss Chen family also went to drink wine with you?"
Hearing Zhao Lang ask this, Xuan Mei looked annoyed, and then she added in a low voice, "You must never tell others about this. In fact, this was also my idea. After all, Yan Rong's fiancé is not a thing, but he is here Yan Rong was depressed because she got pregnant with another woman before we got married, so I thought of taking her to have some fun together."
"Did she agree?" Zhao Lang asked doubtfully.
Xuan Mei nodded.
"Has she ever left the Flower House during this period?" Zhao Lang asked.
Xuan frowned and scratched her head and said, "Probably not."
Zhao Lang raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean probably not?"
"I got drunk afterwards." Xuan Mei could only reply.
After listening to Xuanmei's words, Zhao Lang felt that this girl was not a liar. After all, who could tell a liar who could be so lightly frightened by someone and then pour beans out of a bamboo tube? Everything that needs to be said is poured out.
And when Xuan Meisan mentioned Chen Yanrong, Zhao Lang felt that Chen Yanrong was more suspect than Xuan Mei.
Therefore, after asking Xuan Mei some basic information, Zhao Lang was ready to leave. However, before leaving, he still left a secret guard in Xuan's mansion to keep an eye on her.
After Zhao Lang stood up, Xuan Mei suddenly asked in surprise, "You just left?"
Zhao Lang nodded.
Xuan Mei immediately looked disappointed, and then she asked reluctantly, "Then when will you come back next time?"
Zhao Lang thought that if it was not necessary, he would probably never come here again in his life.
However, Zhao Lang was thinking this in his heart, but he habitually said sweetly, "I will come back soon."
After hearing Zhao Lang's promise, Xuan Mei let Zhao Lang leave.
But even so, she still sent Zhao Lang to the door.
At this time, one of the two thought he had found the right one, and was too shy to speak.
The other one was thinking about how to ask the eldest lady of the Chen family out without disturbing the Chen family.
In the Taipingfang in the south of the capital city, a woman in white clothes and a white hat was getting off the carriage with the support of a maid.
This Taipingfang was originally a place where wealthy households and those outside the official family lived. Therefore, her appearance was not noticeable.
But even so, she was still very vigilant and only asked the hired coachman to stop on the main road, and then she walked towards her destination. Along the way, she even asked the maids around her to be careful and pay attention to everything. She only reached a deep alley and knocked on the wooden door there.
Then a child heard a knock on the door and opened the wooden door. The child asked in a low voice, "Who are you looking for, girl?"
The woman did not answer the child's question, but only opened the white gauze curtain of her hat.
Seeing the woman's face, the child recognized that it was the eldest lady of the Chen family. The child said nothing more and quickly opened the door a crack, and then whispered, "The young master is already waiting for you inside."
Chen Yanrong didn't respond and just went straight into the house.
At this time, she didn't know that even though she was very careful, she still couldn't escape the tracking of someone who wanted to do it. On the contrary, seeing her being so sneaky, the stalker pursued her even more closely.
It wasn't until she followed the alley that she discovered that she had actually entered a private house, but she couldn't see who lived in that house.
Zhang Yucheng just wished he could kick in the door and get in.
But before that, the man next to him only advised him not to go in yet.
