Liu Yunqing came to the shop as usual. Not long after arriving, Zhao Tan walked in.
"Yunqing has met Brother Tan." Seeing Zhao Tan, Liu Yunqing hurriedly stepped forward and saluted. Although they only had dinner together once, Liu Yunqing had a good impression of Zhao Tan.
"Can I take a step to speak?" Zhao Tan asked after returning the greeting.
"Of course, Brother Tan, please." Liu Yunqing led Zhao Tan to a room in the backyard. Haitang was guarding outside the room.
"Brother Tan, please sit down." Liu Yunqing said politely when he came into the room. After Zhao Tan sat down, Liu Yunqing sat down opposite Zhao Tan.
"I'm sorry to bother you today because I have a merciless request. I hope you can agree." After sitting down, Zhao Tan said.
"Brother Tan, tell me what you have to say. If Yun Qing can do it, he will naturally not refuse." Liu Yunqing replied without hesitation. In Liu Yunqing's view, Xia Jingyao's relatives are her relatives. If she needs help, she'll be there for you.
"Please leave Jing Yao and never see him again." Zhao Tan said directly.
"Brother Tan is joking with Yun Qing, or testing Yun Qing's sincerity towards the Marquis?" Liu Yunqing was shocked when he heard Zhao Tan's words.
"I'm not joking with you, or testing you, I just want you to leave. The marriage between Jing Yao and Xiao Zi was a natural thing. Because of your appearance, a lot of complications have arisen. Now that the wedding date has been set, you continue to stay. Being by Jing Yao’s side is not good for anyone. You should understand that Jing Yao’s marriage to Xiao Zi is the best choice for Jing Yao. Jing Yao is smart, hard-working and capable, and is the pillar of the country. However, the officialdom is sinister, and how many Talented officials were framed and targeted because they had no backers, and finally had to leave the officialdom and die in depression. Ning'an Palace can become Jing Yao's backer and help him go further and stand higher. Are you right? Jing Yao's love will not only not help him with anything, but will also become a burden to him. If you really think about Jing Yao, leave him. If you need any compensation, just ask, I will satisfy you." Since it is destined to be. After breaking his skin, Zhao Tan spoke openly.
"These are all your self-righteous thoughts. With the ability of the Marquis, he does not need a backer at all. His ability is his backer. What you said so high-sounding is not for your own selfishness. The Marquis has always regarded you as relatives. Now that you are forcing him like this, you know how sad he is. Although the Marquis and I have not known each other for a short time, I also know that the Marquis is a truly affectionate person. If you treat him well, he will repay you. You are very good. I dare to say that if Mr. Zhao is in danger, Mr. Hou will risk his life to save you. I know that Miss Zhao really likes Mr. Hou and will treat him sincerely. But you can't like a person. Become a yoke to kidnap the other party. Mr. Zhao should know Mr. Hou. With Mr. Hou's character, even if he is forced to marry Miss Zhao under pressure, Miss Zhao will not be happy. Is Mr. Zhao willing to see that Miss Zhao will not be happy in her life? Are you happy?" Liu Yunqing did not give in. When he saw Xia Jingyao sitting alone on the roof, Liu Yunqing knew that not only did she need Xia Jingyao, but Xia Jingyao also needed her.
"I'm not negotiating with you, but asking you to leave. You were assassinated once some time ago. The mastermind behind that assassination was Shi Wei, the Third Prince's confidant, the Minister of War. This time Jing Yao got what he wanted. The official position turned out to be his. Do you know why Jing Yao took over his official position? Because he died on the second night after you were assassinated. Jing Yao personally led the team and killed him with his own hands. You know that you are good at killing. What is the crime of being an official of the imperial court? It is a capital crime. My father already knows about this matter. As long as Jing Yao dares to ask for an order to annul the engagement, my father will expose it without hesitation and put Jing Yao to death. Even your Majesty will not hesitate to expose it. You can't protect Jing Yao. And the reason why Jing Yao killed Shi Wei is to protect you. Jing Yao thought he could do it perfectly, but there is no airtight wall in the world. Jing Yao can know the law and break it for you. You have to watch it. Do you want to watch him die?" Zhao Tan believed in Liu Yunqing's true feelings for Xia Jingyao, and also believed that Liu Yunqing would not watch Xia Jingyao die.
After hearing Zhao Tan's words, Liu Yunqing recalled what happened the day after the assassination and knew that Zhao Tan did not lie to her. Liu Yunqing's heart suddenly panicked. It was related to Xia Jingyao's life and death, and she had to pay attention to it. Liu Yunqing's thoughts changed rapidly, but he had no idea what to do.
"If I can persuade the Marquis to marry Miss Zhao, can I continue to stay with the Marquis?" After thinking for a long time, Liu Yunqing had to compromise. She was very unfamiliar with officialdom, and it was impossible for her to think of a way to rescue Xia Jingyao. Now the only way to go is to let Xia Jingyao and Zhao Zi get married.
"No, as long as you are by Jing Yao's side for a day, it will be difficult for Xiao Zi to get Jing Yao's favor. For Xiao Zi's happiness, you must leave, and you are never allowed to appear again. As long as you leave, Jing Yao will be with you for a few years at most. Yao will definitely be moved by Xiao Zi's true feelings and completely accept Xiao Zi." Zhao Tan rejected Liu Yunqing without hesitation, and for Zhao Zi, he would not be merciful at all.
"Okay, I promise you to leave the Marquis. But you must also swear that you will not blackmail the Marquis in the future and destroy the evidence to ensure the safety of the Marquis." Liu Yunqing reluctantly compromised, with a look of pain on his face .
"I, Zhao Tan, swear that as long as Liu Yunqing leaves Xia Jingyao, I will never use Shi Wei's death to threaten Xia Jingyao and destroy the evidence. If you violate this oath, you will die with thousands of arrows piercing your heart. Five days later, I will send someone to send you away Leave." Zhao Tan swore without hesitation, then stood up and left.
After Zhao Tan left the room, Liu Yunqing slumped on the chair helplessly, as if all the strength in her body had been drained away. Haitang came in and stood in front of Liu Yunqing. She heard everything Zhao Tan said just now.
"Let's discuss it with the Marquis. Maybe the Marquis has some solution." Haitang looked at Liu Yunqing and said.
"I think Zhao Tan had threatened Mr. Hou yesterday, so he sat alone on the roof in a daze. Mr. Hou has done so much for me, and this may be the only thing I can do for him. Haitang, can you come with me? Are you leaving? Zhao Tan is not trustworthy. I am afraid that if I leave Fuchang County, he will kill me to avoid future troubles." Liu Yunqing has grown a lot during this time, and she will not put her fate in the hands of others.
"Haitang is willing to leave with his wife, and he will definitely ensure her safety." Haitang thought briefly and then agreed. After spending this time together, she still trusted Liu Yunqing.
"When you get to a safe place, if you want to leave, you can leave at any time, and I will give you a sum of money." Liu Yunqing looked at Haitang gratefully. Now that Lian'er was injured, she would definitely not be able to walk, so she could only rely on Haitang.
"Haitang is willing to stay with Madam. Haitang believes that sooner or later, Madam and the Marquis will be reunited." Haitang said firmly.
Hearing Haitang's words, Liu Yunqing smiled and said nothing. For Liu Yunqing, escaping this time was more difficult than before. But at this time, Liu Yunqing was no longer what he used to be. In less than a quarter of an hour, Liu Yunqing thought of a way to leave.
