Zhao Jue came to Xiu Qin and asked for the specific address of the embroidery workshop.
Xiu Qin said it and said in surprise: "Master, is there something wrong with the embroiderer?"
Zhao Jue shook his head and laughed softly.
That day at the night market, Zhao Jue only met Tang Yuyao once. Although he took a serious look at it because he was curious about what kind of woman could capture Zhao Ting, almost a month later, he actually still didn't dare to confirm, so he called That day, the people around me, as well as Lu Zhongkai, came to confirm.
Tang Yuyao was only responsible for the little clothes of Miss Peony and Miss Begonia, and she hurriedly finished them in just three days. Because there were only these two sets of clothes this time, and the hostess's family happened to be busy again, Tang Yuyao thought that nothing happened last time, so she said that she could do it alone. There was nothing she could do about it. Whether the clothes she made would fit her or whether she wanted to modify them, she had to go there in person.
The landlady gave her some instructions and asked the waiter to send her off.
Due to Zhao Jue's instructions, Xiu Qin had been waiting at the back door early this time. When she saw Tang Yuyao, she carefully looked at her and thought, why does the master pay so much attention to this woman?
Apart from being slightly pretty, she doesn't seem to have anything special about her.
Tang Yuyao knew nothing about these things. Although it was the second time she came, she still wanted to leave as soon as she stepped in. So he went to the second floor and quickly took out two sets of clothes and handed them to Miss Peony and Miss Begonia.
As soon as Miss Peony saw it, she said happily: "Oh, it's so well done! Madam Tang, I'll try it first!"
Tang Yuyao agreed.
Miss Haitang held the small clothes but didn't look at it at all. Instead, she looked directly at Tang Yuyao. There was anger that was about to burst out, but she didn't dare to express it thinking about the group of people inside.
Tang Yuyao felt strange, but because she wanted to leave quickly, she said, "Girl, don't you give it a try?"
"No!" Miss Haitang snorted, staring at Tang Yuyao, but couldn't help but ask: "Does Mrs. Tang's man know?"
"What do you know?" Tang Yuyao was puzzled.
Miss Haitang said coldly: "I know you come to a place like this! Doesn't he mind? Aren't you afraid that if you come here too many times, you will become unclean and no longer a good family?"
This was said with deep hostility.
Tang Yuyao didn't intend to establish any relationship with the people here, so she just said "oh" and ignored them.
Miss Haitang was immediately furious. She and Peony were the top names in this flower house, but if compared, Peony was actually lower than her. She always told the truth in the building, because the man would stay in her room when he came, so even Xiuqin had to let her go. But I didn't expect that Tang Yuyao, an embroiderer who made a living, would dare to treat her as nothing and listen to her words as if she didn't hear anything!
Thinking of the man who was also seduced by this woman, Miss Haitang was so angry that she lost her mind. Looking at Tang Yuyao's expressionless and beautiful face, she actually felt malicious and wanted to make a fool of her.
Her movements were faster than her thoughts. When she thought this, her hand wearing a long armor had already torn towards Tang Yuyao.
Tang Yuyao was unprepared and wanted to retreat after being startled, but there happened to be a stool behind her. As soon as she bumped into it, she lost her balance and almost fell down.
"Ah--" She screamed, but she didn't fall directly to the ground. Instead, she fell into a warm embrace. She was protected by someone and turned around half a circle when she heard a "thunk" sound coming from behind her.
Then came Miss Haitang's scream.
Tang Yuyao turned around and saw that Miss Haitang had fallen to the ground. Considering the situation just now and the man who was still holding her waist and not letting go, she realized that it was this man who did it.
The man who appeared here must be a benefactor, but he hurt Miss Haitang in order to protect her. From the bottom of her heart, Tang Yuyao felt disgusted with the man who still held her in his arms.
She bent her elbows slightly and struggled forward: "Let go!"
Zhao Jue let go.
Tang Yuyao was free and immediately took two steps to one side. Instead of looking at Zhao Jue, she looked at Miss Haitang. But she didn't help her. She thought she didn't do anything to offend anyone, but Miss Haitang just wanted to attack her fiercely. Although she wanted to make money, she couldn't bow her head at this time.
Who knows if Miss Haitang would go further if she lowered her head.
"The goods have been delivered. If Miss Haitang is not willing to settle the bill today, then we will leave it to our employer later." Tang Yuyao said, turning around and leaving.
Haitang said nothing, but Zhao Jue blocked her way.
"I saved you and you didn't even say thank you?"
Tang Yuyao looked up at him, but her expression suddenly changed, Cheng Wang Zhao Jue, why is he here? If he sees her, will he tell Zhao Ting, or is Zhao Ting here too? !
Tang Yuyao was immediately panicked and looked around the room.
Zhao Jue was confused: "Little lady, what are you looking at?"
Little lady?
Tang Yuyao was surprised by this title. Did Zhao Jue not recognize her?
Zhao Jue said with a smile: "Little lady, I think you are from a good family. Since you are a good family, it is not a good idea to come to a place like this. Otherwise, you are so beautiful and people will misunderstand that if you have some inappropriate thoughts, you will be wrong." You're not good." He paused, glanced at Miss Haitang, and then said: "Also, you are so beautiful, but you will make people jealous."
It seemed that he really didn't recognize her.
Tang Yuyao felt relieved, slightly bowed her knees to Zhao Jue, said "Thank you" and hurried away without looking back.
Zhao Jue looked at her back and smiled.
Lu Zhongkai came out with the eunuchs who followed him. The others looked calm, except Lu Zhongkai, whose eyes were filled with anger and looked ugly.
Zhao Jue noticed it and asked, "Master Lu, what's wrong?"
Lu Zhongkai glanced at Miss Haitang.
Zhao Jue waved his hand and chased away Miss Haitang and Miss Peony who had already tried on her clothes.
Lu Zhongkai then said: "My lord, what are your plans?"
Zhao Jue put his hands behind his back, but gently made a fist and twisted his fingertips, recalling the slender and soft touch on his waist just now. But he wouldn't say this. He said, "I haven't thought about it yet."
Lu Zhongkai did not dare to ask any more questions, and said with suppressed anger: "The woman just now is indeed the one whom the official and the prince saw together before, and is someone close to King An. But...but she has another identity, she is still the wife-in-law and the wife of the prince. My ex-husband’s daughter.”
Lu Zhongkai had not seen Tang Yuyao's face before, but his figure was very familiar, especially the jade-like neck exposed when Tang Yuyao lowered her head. He had seen it many times. Of course, the most important thing was the sound, and he recognized it as soon as he heard it.
"Oh?" Lu Zhongkai was really surprised, "Then what's going on with her now? Why is she so good that she ends up in a place like this?"
Lu Zhongkai said: "She made peace with her wife, and Xiaguan and her wife found a good place for her. However, she only stayed for one day and then escaped. When she escaped, she even kidnapped Xiaguan's eldest daughter!"
Heli was of course a lie. She was just serving Zhao Ting, so she had no right to say this. As for abducting Lu Zhongkai's eldest daughter, Zhao Jie didn't care. Whether there was any problem or not, it didn't matter to him.
He nodded and said: "Don't disturb her for the time being, I'll keep her useful."
Lu Zhongkai could only respond: "Yes."

Back at the embroidery workshop, Tang Yuyao waited in fear for a few days. Not only did Zhao Ting not come to find her, but even Miss Haitang didn't come to find trouble, and even the money for making small clothes was sent over.
She couldn't help but feel relieved, it seemed that King Cheng really didn't recognize her. Yes, it was just a one-time relationship, and she was not a great person. How could a person as high and powerful as King Cheng remember her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she felt relieved, the female boss came over with a smile on her face: "Ms. Tang, I'm so happy, so happy!"
What joy is there? Tang Yuyao was puzzled.
The hostess said: "Someone proposes marriage to you!"
Tang Yuyao was stunned. She almost never left the embroidery shop, and she couldn't even see a man. Who would propose marriage?
No matter who comes, she will not marry.
She said: "Boss, please help me go back."
"Mrs. Tang, you don't even know who he is, why are you going back?" The hostess said anxiously: "You have to listen to me about the other party's conditions. Even if you get married again, you can also look at the other party's person. Once you are satisfied with everything, then make a decision.”
Tang Yuyao said: "No need to look, I won't marry anyone."
Her attitude was resolute, and she seemed to be slightly unhappy. The hostess did not dare to say anything more, so she could only say: "Then I will go and help you go back." After saying this, she left for a moment before turning back, "Ms. Tang, the other party wants to see you. You also said that if you refused to see me, you would regret it for the rest of your life."
Tang Yuyao's heart sank, and the person she didn't dare to think about appeared in her mind. Did you really recognize her? So you told Zhao Ting, Zhao Ting came to find you?
If it was really Zhao Ting, she really wouldn't dare not go see him.
Looking back at Xiao Yunduo who was worried about looking over in the room, Tang Yuyao nodded to her reassuringly and followed her hostess out. As a result, he went to the private room in the shop outside in fear, only to find Zhao Jue alone inside.
Tang Yuyao was extremely surprised: "Is it you?"
Zhao Jue put down the tea cup, stood up and said with a smile: "It's rare that Madam Tang still remembers me. However, I would like to ask, why does Madam Tang dislike me? Since you are single, why don't you want to marry me?"
He was wearing an indigo robe, with a handsome face as sharp as a knife, and he was smiling like this, he was really chic and elegant.
Tang Yuyao was wondering what he was planning.
She is just a little maid, what is Zhao Jue trying to do with her?
There shouldn't be anything in her that he can plot!
She really wanted to say something sarcastic, "Your majestic prince, concubine, concubine, or concubine are all very likely to be rich ladies. Don't you find it funny that you want to marry someone like me?"
However, she didn't dare, so she could only say: "You can tell at a glance that she is extraordinary. A commoner's wife is not as good as a willow tree, so how can she dare to reach such high places?"
