In fact, Xia Luotong was quite confident in her backgammon skills, but she didn't expect that she would lose more than she won after a few games, which aroused her unwillingness to admit defeat on the spot.
The two of them were fighting one game after another, but what they didn't know was that in a certain alley, there was a person who was almost going crazy with irritation.
The longer He Jingyao waited, the more anxious she became, and the longer she waited, the more uneasy she felt. She had been waiting in this alley for nearly two hours, but she didn't even see Xia Luotong's shadow!
As soon as she left Yusheng Pavilion, the guards from the mansion arrived. She immediately gave orders without saying a word and guarded several key roads leaving Yusheng Pavilion. People were also sent to keep an eye on both ends of the main street. As a result, until now No trace of Xia Luotong was seen!
If Xia Luotong had not left through some secret passage, then he was still in Yusheng Pavilion.
Then Yusheng Pavilion is just a place to buy clothes, how could you stay there for so long? So the longer she waited, the more ominous she felt.
Is it possible that Zuo Xiyan is also in Yusheng Pavilion? Do they know each other? Are you staying in one place at this time?
Thinking of Xia Luotong's amazing beauty, He Jingyao's eyes turned red with anger!
How many men can stand that seductive look? If she knew Zuo Xiyan, she might already have something!
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more she felt that her guess was correct. Although she had repeatedly said that Xia Luotong was the woman kept by shopkeeper Zhao, that was just to throw dirty water on Xia Luotong. In fact, looking at the two of them, The look on his face told him that this was impossible.
Looking at the time, she saw that it was already halfway through the afternoon. She scolded the guard beside her anxiously and asked him to go around Yusheng Pavilion to see if the woman had come out.
Although the guard was helpless, he did not dare to refute. He immediately followed the order and walked out of the alley. In less than two hours, he ran away no less than twenty times, fearing that the clerk at the entrance of Yusheng Pavilion Everyone recognizes him!
As you can imagine, the guard returned without success again. He Jingyao was so angry that she slapped him on the spot. The guard felt extremely depressed, but did not dare to resist. He could only endure it silently, wondering whether he would do it after returning. This matter was quietly revealed to the second master. If it reached the ears of the old master He Ge, the young lady would definitely be punished.
He Jingyao didn't know what the guard was thinking, but she was so angry that she almost tore the veil in her hand. She was so unwilling that she decided to continue to guard.
If she wants revenge, she must do this, because after passing this village, she doesn't know where to find the woman!
Strangely enough, after the incident involving Mr. Le last time, she actually sent many servants out to find out information about Xia Luotong, but nothing was found out, as if nothing happened.
Not only was her identity a mystery, but she didn't even know her name. When she was in Yusheng Pavilion just now, in order to protect Xia Luotong, shopkeeper Zhao also didn't mention anything about Xia Luotong's name, making it impossible for her to find out!
If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't catch this woman, how could He Jingyao remain indifferent and not take revenge on that woman after losing so much face? !
This was entirely because she couldn't find out any information about that woman! It's like it never happened! The only rumors are still about Mr. Le's incident, and there is no other useful information!
So after finally catching the woman in Yusheng Pavilion this time, she didn't want to give up this great opportunity at all! Otherwise, I don’t know when I will meet her next time!
Especially since I have lost such a big face today and been dragged out in Yusheng Pavilion. There are so many people watching on the street. In addition, there were many ladies and ladies in the store at that time. I am afraid that starting tomorrow, the streets will be full of people again. It's all a joke about her!
Thinking of this, He Jingyao was so angry that she almost broke her teeth and strengthened her determination to stay put!
As a result, He Jingyao had to leave only when the sun set in the west and the sky was filled with rays of light. Because the guards in the mansion had been out for a long time, the second master in the mansion noticed something was wrong and interrogated the whereabouts of these guards. They had to Returned to resume his life.
After all the guards left, He Jingyao naturally had no point in staying any longer. Besides, after recruiting so many guards, she had to go back and explain.
Although He Jingyao is the legitimate daughter of the eldest daughter-in-law, the second master of the second bedroom is also very strong. She has been competing with the eldest master for the position of head of the family, so she will not let it go easily if she gets the opportunity this time.
As soon as the manpower on He Jingyao's side was withdrawn, Shopkeeper Zhao immediately got the news and truthfully reported it to Zuo Xiyan.
At this time, Zuo Xiyan was teaching Xia Luotong how to play chess. He couldn't help but smile when he saw that she had changed from the confident look she had when playing backgammon and now stared at the chessboard with a sad face.
Although he was very reluctant to leave, he knew that it was time for her to return to Prince An's Mansion. After being out for so long, he didn't know if there would be anything else going on at the Prince's Mansion.
Instructing shopkeeper Zhao to prepare the carriage, Zuo Xiyan took Xia Luotong and left through the back door of Yusheng Pavilion.
The carriage is not conspicuous, the space is not large, and it does not have the family crest of Zuo Xiangfu. Therefore, it looks like an ordinary carriage from the outside, and the space inside is naturally not large.
In this slightly narrow car, the two of them were very close. Zuo Xiyan's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a little. The faint fragrance from her body was on the tip of his nose. Looking at her beautiful profile, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes. Fascinated.
Xia Luotong, who had been paying attention to the scene outside the window, suddenly said: "Xi Yan, just stop here. I can just walk back later. It's not far."
Naturally, she couldn't let Zuo Xiyan directly send her back to the back door of Prince An's Mansion, so she could only choose a distance that was not far or near to get off the bus in advance, and then walk back on her own.
Zuo Xiyan came back to his senses, glanced at where he was now, estimated the distance to Prince An's Mansion, and then nodded with confidence.
"Okay, then please pay attention to safety on the road to Atong. If you want to find me, just tell Shopkeeper Zhao directly."
After taking a serious look at Xia Luotong's starry eyes again, he reluctantly lifted the curtain and helped her get out of the carriage.
"Okay, you should go back quickly. See you next time~!" Xia Luotong waved with a smile, turned around and walked briskly into the alley.
Watching her slender figure gradually disappearing deep into the alley, Zuo Xiyan slowly put away the soft color that only flowed out in front of her, and returned to the handsome but distant appearance of the past.
After returning to the carriage, the clear voice came out, as clear as a stream, but without any emotion: "Go home."
