Tang Ju thought for a long time, and finally nodded and said: "I think this method is feasible!"
He was the head of the family. Since he nodded in agreement, the matter was settled. Next, they began to discuss other details of the marriage.
Such as dowries, banquets, and guest lists, etc.
Behind the screen, Tang Shuwan had already overheard the key information and did not dare to continue eavesdropping. She tugged on Minglan's sleeves with her hands, and then pointed to the side door of the living room, indicating that it was time to go back.
Minglan was very excited after hearing this and didn't want to leave, but she had to accompany the young lady if she wanted to leave. The master and servant tiptoed towards the side door and exited the living room.
The distance from the screen to the door was fine, there were no accidents.
But when she crossed the threshold, Tang Shuwan was too nervous, her skirt was too long, and the threshold was high. She didn't notice that her toes tripped over the threshold. In order to maintain her body's balance, she stepped directly on the threshold with her next step. The ground made a crisp sound.
It’s over!
Tang Shuwan's head buzzed.
About to be discovered.
"who?!"
Sure enough, Tang Shujing screamed in the living room, followed by a series of footsteps running quickly. She was about to cross the screen and find Tang Shuwan's master and servant.
Tang Shuwan was always generous and decent, and rarely eavesdropped on other people's conversations. She had never encountered such a situation, so she was momentarily panicked and confused.
】
Minglan, on the other hand, had encountered this situation frequently and had rich experience. She subconsciously pulled her young lady to hide against the wall outside the side door, and raised her index finger in front of her lips to make a silent gesture.
Tang Shuwan was stiff all over, her heart was pounding, and she didn't dare to move or make a sound.
If Tang Ju, Mrs. Chen, and Tang Shujing find out that she came to eavesdrop on her marriage arrangements, she will be really shameless...
"Where did the thief come from? He dared to break into the Governor's Yamen without permission. He is so audacious. Just surrender and capture him!" Tang Shujing shouted, crossing the screen and heading for the side door of the living room.
"Second Miss...it's me!" At the critical moment, Minglan comforted Tang Shuwan and stepped out resolutely to stop the coming Tang Shujing.
"Minglan? Why is it you!"
Tang Shujing suddenly lost interest, she was still ready to show off her skills.
At this time, Tang Ju and Mrs. Chen also crossed the screen.
When they saw that the so-called "thief" was actually Minglan, they felt relieved at the same time.
However, Tang Ju's expression immediately straightened up and he asked, "Minglan, why are you hiding behind the door?"
"..."
Outside the side door of the living room, by the wall, Tang Shuwan heard the footsteps gradually disappearing. She expected that Tang Ju and the others had returned to the living room. Her stiff body couldn't help but relax, and she covered her heart with her hands.
Crisis resolved.
She finally didn't have to be embarrassed in front of Tang Ju and others.
Fortunately!
And the hero of all this is Minglan. She has decided that after this incident, she must reward this girl generously.
But at this moment, Minglan's voice came from the living room, saying in an innocent tone: "Alang, madam, second young lady, it was not the young lady who ordered me to eavesdrop, it was my own idea..."
Outside the side door.
Tang Shuwan's body that had just relaxed became tense again.
Minglan, this damn girl, what are you talking nonsense about?
Isn’t it true that there are no more than three hundred taels of silver here?
Fortunately, she wanted to reward Minglan just now, but this girl changed hands and betrayed her...
There was no time to blame Minglan, Tang Shuwan's heart was already pounding, and she was extremely uneasy. As if she had been hit by a heavy hammer, her face turned pale, and she even broke out in cold sweat on her forehead.
Minglan's "explanation" was equivalent to ripping out her girlish thoughts that should not be shared by outsiders and displaying them in front of Tang Ju and others...
What a devastating experience.
She no longer cared about the discussion in the living room, sobbed softly, held up the hem of her skirt, took small steps to escape from this familiar yet unfamiliar place, and ran back to her boudoir.
…
…
It is said that not long after Su Xian returned to the camp in the north of the city, the news about his triumphant return swept through the entire Yingzhou City like a tsunami, and it spread to everyone in the city.
Lin Mansion.
Lin Youcai, Lin Chuan's father, was stunned when he heard the news, and then he was thankful that he had established contact with Su Xian early.
However, in a blink of an eye, he saw his son Lin Chuan, who had just returned from the county school vacation, with bright red lipstick that had not been wiped off at the corners of his mouth. It was obvious that this boy had gone to a brothel to look for women again.
Lin Youcai was immediately furious.
He personally carried a stick and chased Lin Chuan, scolding and beating him... The whole Lin Mansion was in a state of uproar, and it was only when it got dark that it became quiet.
Corner Tower Street.
Su Xian's neighbors, such as Shopkeeper Luo, etc., after hearing the news, the whole street became quiet, and then became noisy. Everyone gathered in front of Shopkeeper Luo's antique shop to discuss it heatedly.
From time to time, they looked sideways at the end of Corner Tower Street.
To be precise, it was looking at the small wooden building where Liu Huixiang lived.
"That tofu Xishi... really has the fate of Kefu? I don't think so!" Shopkeeper Luo murmured to himself.
"Yeah, her fate of being a nerd is really interesting. She actually made the nerd rise all the way up, and even became a prince! Haha, who the hell made up this rumor?" Someone agreed.
"It shouldn't be a rumor." Someone shook his head and said, "Tofu Xishi has indeed defeated several fiancés. This is all true, but Mr. Su has obviously not been defeated. What is the reason for this?"
"Does this need to be said? It must be that Su Zhenyi and Doufu Xishi's horoscope are consistent, which changed Doufu Xishi's destiny. Not only is it no longer a husband, but it has even become a prosperous destiny!"
"That makes sense!"
"..."
The comments from the neighbors soon reached Liu Huixiang's ears.
Vanves!
These two words made her heart pound.
Her family knew about her family affairs, and her previous fiancés did die in mysterious circumstances before they could marry her, which was very evil. Even she herself thought that she was a bad woman like the husband.
For this reason, she was abandoned by her family.
She was originally the legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family, and she was pampered, but ended up living in exile, receiving all the looks and ridicule.
But who would have thought that she would end up being rated as a "wonderful husband"!
Her watery eyes filled with tears, and she couldn't stop crying. Thinking back to her wandering experience in the past few years, sadness and happiness intertwined in her heart...
The only thing she wants to do now is to clear her name, wait for the man who brought her light to come home, and dedicate herself without reservation.
She wanted to make that man happy!
at the same time.
Next door to Liu Huixiang's house.
At Su Xian's home, news about Su Xian's triumphant return also reached Chen Keyan's ears.
"impossible!"
Chen Keyan's voice was extremely shocked, and was accompanied by the sound of the porcelain shattering on the ground. It was obvious that she was frightened and lost her hand, causing the cup to slip and fall to the ground.
"Not only did he solve that difficult case and find the Liao army hiding in the dark, he also defeated 50,000 Liao cavalry in Youzhou and made immortal military exploits?"
"No, it's impossible, it's absolutely impossible!"
"..."
