The two of them went upstairs one after the other and arrived at Qin Xiangxiang's door one after the other.
Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door opened. Qin Xiangxiang glanced at Mu Ting and said with a calm expression, "You're back?"
Then he looked at Pan Wenxiong: "Are you all settled? Auntie has already gone to bed. I will tell her tomorrow. Fourth Master Pan should go back and rest early."
The few words Qin Xiangxiang said made Mu Ting, who was still a little depressed just now, shake off his gloom and glance at Pan Wenxiong in a good mood.
Pan Wenxiong remained calm and still smiled gently: "Okay, I will obey Madam Qin's orders."
He saluted Qin Xiangxiang seriously before leaving gracefully.
Mu Ting had to admit that this guy was pretty good at superficial skills.
He watched Pan Wenxiong walk down the stairs, and suddenly Qin Xiangxiang asked: "Prince Mu seems to be reluctant to leave Fourth Master Pan?"
"No way!" Mu Ting quickly turned around and looked at Qin Xiangxiang obediently.
Qin Xiangxiang looked at his face and suddenly had the feeling that he was in front of him as a pitiful pug trying to win the affection of his owner. It made him want to reach out and touch his big head and say "good boy".
Well. She looked away expressionlessly: "Find a quiet place."
Mu Ting became excited again: "I have inquired with Mu Dong's family, and the back garden of Jin Man Building is the quietest at this time. If anyone comes close, you can see it."
It’s almost the second watch, can you not be quiet?
but……
Mu Ting's eyes were sharp: "There is someone."
And he's an acquaintance.
Liao Haohai and Qin Wanwan were making tea around the stove in the pavilion in the back garden.
The firelight flickered, and you could still see Liao Haohai's face smiling like a fool.
Ever since Liao Haohai came to Cangzhou, he seemed to have completely forgotten that he was once a judge at Dali Temple. Mu Ting and others were busy, but Liao Haohai was only focused on chasing Qin Wanwan.
In fact, people have different aspirations, and Mu Ting didn't think there was anything wrong with Liao Haohai's behavior. If the world is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, he will be happy to do the things he likes with his loved ones all day long.
Qin Xiangxiang looked at Qin Wanwan, and her little face, which had been obviously sluggish in the past few days, was now radiant again. However, compared to her previous arrogance, Qin Wanwan at this time was gentle and contented.
"Let's find another place," she said.
Mu Ting looked around. It was quite quiet and suitable for talking.
"Let's talk about it here." Mu Ting said, recounting everything about tonight's experience in a low voice.
Qin Xiangxiang listened quietly, his little face was serious, and his dimples were not visible at all.
"The shopkeeper's wife always gives me a very strange feeling. It's as if she has gone through a thousand sailings and returned to a stable life. Although the shopkeeper scolds her, he can give her a home." Qin Xiangxiang said.
Mu Ting really didn't care. He didn't pay attention to the shop lady at that time. Huh, except for his wife Qin, he doesn't pay much attention to other young ladies.
"How about we tie up the shopkeeper and torture him severely to interrogate him?" Mu Ting came up with an idea.
"No." Qin Xiangxiang looked at him, "Have you noticed that Cangzhou City is very weird?"
This feeling is there. Mu Ting nodded repeatedly: "That's right."
In other prefectures and cities, if they heard that the son of Marquis Wu De and the commander of the Imperial City Department were coming to visit, they would come to see him, eat and drink, and fawn over him.
But these two people have revealed their identities. Even for people like the Pan family, they are only polite on the surface, but secretly they seem to be eager to stay away.
This Cangzhou City is really interesting.
"Cangzhou is not far from Yanzhou. You haven't heard anything about Cangzhou before?" Qin Xiangxiang asked Mu Ting. Cangzhou is about ten days' journey from Yanzhou.
Mu Ting was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I really didn't pay attention before." He paused and said, "Actually, my father had an aide before, and he reminded me to pay attention to the movements of the nearby city of Yanzhou. . It’s just that I was young and ignorant and thought it was useless, so..."
His face was so embarrassed that he didn't even dare to look at Qin Xiangxiang's face.
Qin Xiangxiang must look down on him very much. Wow, wow, this is so embarrassing!
"Prince Mu." Qin Xiangxiang called him softly, "It's okay."
The little lady's voice sounded extremely soft.
Mu Ting still lowered his head: "I didn't like reading before, because I thought reading was much more complicated than practicing martial arts. I would rather practice a hundred sets of boxing than read ten times. But tonight, I realized that if I understand words If I'm more keen, maybe I can find something wrong in the shortest time... instead of spending a lot of time just to find a book..." The more he spoke, the lower his head lowered.
He simply had no face to face his wife Qin.
"But you were able to break into the Zhizhou Mansion Office smoothly, and you were able to find out part of the truth. If it were me, I wouldn't even be able to break in." Qin Xiangxiang's voice was very soft.
"But you must have a way." Mu Ting said.
"But you have rescued me from difficult situations several times." Qin Xiangxiang said, "Without you, I would have died a long time ago."
But if he hadn't saved her, Nangong Wenyue wouldn't have left her alone. As soon as this thought came to Mu Ting's mind, a small white hand stretched out in front of his eyes: "Mu Ting, I really like the way you are high-spirited and the way you block the wind and rain for me. You are very good. , there is no need to blame yourself. Besides, no one is perfect, even someone as powerful as Nangong Wenyue cannot marry a wife..."
Someone far away in the capital sneezed hard.
His wife Qin said she likes him! like him!
The young man who was frustrated just now suddenly raised his face, his face full of joy: "Really?"
"It's true, Mr. Wenyue Lang is still a bachelor..." Qin Xiangxiang vowed that she would not hesitate to betray her master.
Mu Ting shook his head: "I mean, what you said before. You said, you..." What to do, he was so afraid that she would deny it!
His eyes were full of uneasiness and panic.
Qin Xiangxiang looked at him and smiled softly: "I said, I like you."
She had indeed thought that love was a troublesome thing, and she didn't want it. What if her luck was as bad as her mother's? If she met someone like her father, she would have married someone else before her bones were cold. The young girl was only left to be looked after by her wet nurse, and she was not interested in getting married. It didn't matter if she was jumping in anger in the coffin, it was already settled!
Otherwise, she would just bet that Mu Ting was a good husband.
Mu Ting really heard it, Mrs. Qin said, she likes him!
The look on Qin Xiangxiang's face was hot and greedy, but he was a little dumb when he said, "Can I call you by your maiden name?"
Qin Xiangxiang smiled helplessly: "Okay."
"Then you can no longer call me Prince, call me Tinglang." Mu Ting looked at Qin Xiangxiang with burning eyes.
Qin Xiangxiang blushed, how could she scream like this?
"How about from now on, how about calling you Prince in front of others, and Tinglang in front of others?" Qin Xiangxiang felt as if his face was heating up.
What is the difference between her and Mu Ting's behavior at this moment and that of the pair of mandarin ducks in the pavilion?
Come on, the weather is getting hotter now, the grass is growing and warblers are flying, and there is nothing wrong with staying with the one you like. What's more, they are a pair of mandarin ducks granted marriage by the emperor.
"Okay then." Mu Ting finally agreed, but his next sentence was full of jealousy, "If there is no serious business in the future, please ignore the Pan family's mistress!"
