"If he doesn't speak, that means he's acquiescing. Brother, official officer, please take him away quickly."
Under the supervision of the people, the man was taken away by the government officials.
After the crowd dispersed, Tao Yaoyao saw a carriage parked not far away. The carriage was much more spacious and luxurious than the carriage in Tao Mansion. The most important thing was that the carriage was pulled by three horses.
In Kyoto City, only the carriages of the royal family can be so luxurious. Could it be that the person sitting in the carriage in front of me is the third prince?
She just sent his men to prison. He shouldn't be here waiting to plot against her.
Tao Yaoyao was not afraid of her, but she just felt that it would be unfavorable to go out today. In just half an hour, she encountered two troublesome things. If she was tripped up by the third prince again, she would definitely not be able to go to the shop today.
The third prince could not blame her for wasting her time, so before the people in the carriage made a move, she turned around and wanted to leave through another alley. However, she had only taken a few steps when she was stopped by a familiar voice.
"Miss Tao, do you want to come up by yourself, or do you want my men to bring you up?"
It's him.
Tao Yaoyao turned around sharply and met Xie Lan's blurred eyes.
It had only been just over an hour since we separated after the Royal Garden. Why did his eyes become like this? No, this kind of eyes would only appear when people are in lust... Then he...
"Damn it, get in now."
After Xie Lan used his inner strength to suppress the new wave of desire, he fell weakly in front of the car window. Cold sweat quickly formed on his forehead, his face was abnormally flushed, and he tried his best to suppress it but still couldn't let people ignore it. The sound of rapid breathing...
"Have you been drugged?"
Tao Yaoyao looked at his murderous eyes and quickly took out a porcelain bottle from her waist and threw it over, "This medicine can cure hundreds of poisons. Take it quickly and you will be fine after three breaths."
After saying that, Tao Yaoyao took advantage of the guards not paying attention, turned around and ran away with all her strength.
Xie Lan almost fainted from her anger. He just accidentally got into someone else's way. Why did it seem to her that he had done something stupid?
Stupid thing? Hum, he will let her know who is more stupid today.
An hour later, Tao Yaoyao and Lu Yan were sitting under the eaves of a street corner. One looked guilty and the other looked disappointed. In the afterglow of dusk, people coming and going avoided the two of them for fear of being contaminated by them.
"Didn't you say that no one is buying from these shops? Why did they all have owners when I went to see them?"
Tao Yaoyao came to buy a shop happily, but after looking at four shops in a row, someone else bought them all first. The feeling of loss was like she wanted to drink a bowl of soup, but the bowl was handed out to her, and someone else bought it in the end. gone. That feeling of loss is really uncomfortable.
"Girl, you are my savior. I wouldn't dare to lie to anyone." Lu Yan felt that there must be something fishy about this matter, so he planned to investigate first.
"Forget it, it's just a few shops. If they like it, just give it to them."
Tao Yaoyao said she was generous, and just when Lu Yan was about to believe it, she suddenly cursed the quintessence of the Chinese nation.
"You continue to look for shops tomorrow. The difference this time is that you are looking for a shop that doesn't have much business at first sight and the seller's price is very high."
Didn't the person behind the scenes want to rob her shop? Grab it.
At dinner time, Tao Yaoyao returned to Tao's house. When she brought Qiu Gui to the front hall, all the aunts and ladies in the house were there. Everyone was sitting at the table chatting and waiting for Tao Shi'an. When Aunt Zhao saw her, her eyes were filled with tears. There was a quick flash of hatred.
"The eldest lady has not yet married into the Third Prince's Mansion, and her arrogance is getting bigger and bigger. If you get married now, won't our whole family be looking at your face?"
The originally cheerful room immediately fell silent because of Aunt Zhao's words.
"Does Aunt Zhao really want me to marry into the Third Prince's Mansion?" Tao Yaoyao wiped her hands and glanced at her, then walked up to her with a smile and pointed at Aunt Zhao's seat, "There are no rules. Why don’t you get out of the way quickly.”
"Tao Yaoyao, don't bully me too much. You have already made Yanyan kneel in the ancestral hall. Now you want to force me to death?"
Aunt Zhao covered her face with a handkerchief and pretended to cry twice when she talked about the sad part.
No one present had any intention of speaking to protect her.
"Whether you want to die or live, that's your business, but you, a concubine, are sitting in the position of the master. Who taught you the rules?"
Tao Yaoyao pulled away from Aunt Zhao, sat down in her seat, and continued, "Also, if you want to pretend to be pitiful, you should at least cry twice, otherwise your howling will be too fake."
"you……"
The people at the table almost couldn't hold back their laughter, and they all lowered their heads to minimize their presence.
The eldest lady has indeed changed her temper, and finally someone in this house can deal with her.
Tao Qianqian, the fourth young lady of the Tao family, glanced at Tao Yaoyao from the corner of her eye as she lowered her head carefully, then quickly lowered her head.
At this time, there was movement outside the door, Aunt Zhao's cold eyes flashed slightly, and then her tears fell like rain.
Under the dim candlelight, Aunt Zhao stood beside her with a pear-shaped expression, looking pitiful, aggrieved and afraid to speak out. Tao Shi'an only took one look at her and stepped forward to hold her hand.
"Why are you crying?"
When Aunt Zhao saw Tao Shi'an, she seemed to have seen a savior. She looked at him with joy at first, and then after thinking of something, she threw herself into her arms aggrievedly. She was so sad that her whole body was trembling.
When Tao Shi'an saw this, he felt even more sorry for her.
Aunt Zhao refused to say anything, so he glanced at the people at the table from the corner of his eye.
"Who bullied her?"
Tao Shi'an was the first to look at Aunt Liu, who had always been at odds with Aunt Zhao. Aunt Liu felt wronged and angry, "Master, I haven't done anything."
"How could she cry so hard if you didn't do anything."
"I……"
"Qiu Gui, let someone bring a plate of melon seeds in."
If there are no melon seeds, there will be no soul.
After Qiu Gui went out, Tao Yaoyao said while eating, "Your Aunt Zhao was still talking and laughing when I came in just now. Later I told her that I should take this seat, and she became like this."
Tao Yaoyao looked innocent.
Tao Shi'an looked at her, then at Aunt Zhao, and lowered his voice, "It's just a position. You didn't care about it before, why do you have to care about it now? We are all a family, is it so important where we eat?"
"Really? Isn't it important?"
Tao Yaoyao asked Tao Shi'an in return, and then sat on the main seat in front of him, patting Aunt Zhao behind her ear where she had just been sitting, "Aunt Zhao, don't cry, I'll make room for you." Out."
After saying that, he looked at Tao Shi'an and said, "Dad, please take the remaining seat."
There was a plate of pickled radishes placed in front of the remaining seat, and the dishes on the left and right were not very good. If the person sitting here wanted to eat meat and vegetables, he would need to stand up.
However, Tao Shi'an strictly followed the rules and did not allow anyone to stand in front of him to pick up food. In other words, no matter where you sit, you can only pick up dishes around that position.
If you can't get it, don't eat it.
The original owner looked malnourished because he was eaten like this.
But she felt uncomfortable all over without eating meat. She couldn't bear the hardships that the original owner could endure, and she didn't want to. Since Tao Shi'an wanted to be a good person, she would give it to him.
Tao Yaoyao was gnawing on the chicken drumsticks without any heat, and after finishing eating one piece, she took another one.
The others didn't even dare to breathe under Tao Shi'an's death gaze. After eating two chicken drumsticks, Tao Yaoyao finally remembered to care about the others, "You all eat, such delicious food will not taste good when it is cold." ”
"I have been in this house for so many years, and this is the first time I feel that the chefs in the house are so good at their craftsmanship."
"Dad, please sit down quickly."
After saying that, he glanced sideways at Aunt Zhao and said, "You are a person. I won't let you sit here and you will cry and cry. If I let you sit here, you are being pretentious again. It's up to you."
After Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, he sighed. The look of him trying his best despite having no other choice made people itch.
"Rebellious girl, I'm not dead yet, and you want to be the master of the house?"
Tao Shi'an had never cared about the seating arrangement during meals before, but now even if he saw what she meant, he would never admit that it was due to his negligence and connivance.
Aunt Zhao originally wanted to harm Tao Yaoyao, but she ended up putting herself in the middle.
"Master, don't be angry. Yaoyao is young and ignorant. If you have anything to say, just talk to her."
Aunt Zhao refused to admit defeat and wanted to struggle, but Tao Yaoyao frowned and looked over, "Dad first said that you can do it anywhere. Does Aunt Zhao think that what dad said is wrong?"
"Yaoyao, don't talk nonsense. I'm helping you by saying this. Even if you don't appreciate it, how can you bite me back?" Aunt Zhao didn't expect that she would become not only difficult to deal with but also mean. She was just being petty. She saw it.
"master……"
Aunt Zhao couldn't fight Tao Yaoyao, so she went to Tao Shi'an to complain. If Tao Shi'an didn't know what Tao Yaoyao was paying attention to today, his life would have been in vain for so many years.
"Shut up and everyone go back to their places."
"Okay."
Tao Yaoyao took the pig knuckle and sat back to where he was. After Tao Shian sat down in his seat, he saw Aunt Zhao still standing there motionless and frowned, "Why, do you still want me to invite you?"
"no."
Aunt Zhao just didn't understand how she ended up sitting where Tao Yaoyao was sitting before.
Didn't the master say that he would make the decision for her?
At this time, Tao Shi'an was not in the mood to pay attention to Aunt Zhao's thoughts. He looked at the empty plate in front of him and his expression changed again and again. He turned to look at Tao Yaoyao's mouth full of oil after eating, and felt angry in his heart.
"My Tao family has treated you badly? It's just a few pieces of meat. Why did you eat like this? No wonder the third prince doesn't like you..."
"If Dad, you sat in my position for ten years, you would probably look uglier than me now."
"As for whether the third prince likes me? I don't like him anyway. Does it matter whether he likes me or not?"
