"You...shameless! Who has taken a fancy to you? Are you trying to force yourself? Ugh..." Tang Shujing's shoulders slumped, with a look of disgust on her face, and goosebumps even appeared on her swan-necked neck.
"Then why did you bring me here? You can't understand the relationship between men and women, so let go." Su Xian was calm and relaxed, and the corners of his mouth could not help but slowly rise.
"How did you solve the case? How did those ten thousand Liao people escape to Youzhou? Why didn't I find any clues in Hongcunbao?"
Tang Shujing asked quickly.
After she returned to Yingzhou, she still couldn't figure out these questions.
She was the future No. 1 goddess in the world, but she was stumped by this kind of problem. Su Xian didn't know how to investigate the case, but she figured out these problems and finally solved the case.
This made Tang Shujing feel unhappy and felt like a failure.
"You want to know the answer?"
"Think! Think!"
"I won't tell you."
"you……"
Tang Shujing's eyes widened, she was so angry that she raised a white palm to beat Su Xian.
Su Xian's heart moved and he said quickly: "As long as you agree to one condition, it doesn't matter if I tell you."
Tang Shujing moved, but the hand had already been raised. It would be too embarrassing to retract it like this, so the hand fell lightly and patted Su Xian's chest lightly.
Just like chasing away mosquitoes.
Also asked:
"What conditions?"
"Ah...ah..." Su Xian did not answer, but kept shouting in a low voice. The scream was very... ecstatic to hear.
"I'm going to die!" Tang Shujing immediately understood. The gentle pat she just gave was regarded by Su Xian as a "gentle touch"...
Snapped!
Tang Shujing was embarrassed, frowned and punched Su Xian, neither lightly nor hard.
"Ouch..." Su Xian howled miserably, but Tang Shujing tightly covered her mouth and did not attract the attention of passers-by outside the flower bed.
"..."
After a while of commotion, Su Xian felt refreshed and finally said with a smile:
"Mrs. Liu, you saw it. She will get married in your Tang family. My condition is that you protect her before Mrs. Liu gets married."
"she……"
"What her, her, her? Call me cousin!"
Su Xian's tone was serious, as if an elder was lecturing a younger one.
Tang Shujing was very unhappy, her sharp and fair face was very ugly, but she finally whispered: "Cousin!"
"That's right... I will tell you everything about the case after the matter is completed." Su Xian was satisfied, and then smiled: "Don't call me brother-in-law anymore. From now on, call me cousin-in-law instead!"
"You have to push even further..." Tang Shujing bared her teeth.
"You have stayed in Hongcunbao for so long, and you have worked hard without any credit... I will ask Princess Lanling later to see if anyone is missing from the reward list."
"Cousin...cousin...sister..." Seeing the credit for her contribution, Tang Shujing hesitated, but she could not say the word "brother-in-law" and faltered.
"Read it after me, cousin-in-law!" Su Xian looked serious and patient, like a teacher in a private school.
"Cousin...sister..."
"Cousin-in-law!"
"Cousin...sister...brother-in-law!"
"That's right, cousin-in-law!"
"Cousin...husband..."
"Get coherent, cousin-in-law."
"Cousin-in-law!"
"Cousin-in-law!"
"Cousin-in-law..."
"Brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law...huh? Are you looking for a beating..."
"Hahahaha, just kidding..."
"..."
When Su Xian and Tang Shujing arrived at the flower hall where they were hosting the banquet, Tang Ju, Mrs. Chen, Liu Huixiang, and Tang Shuwan were already sitting, waiting for them.
Tang Ju asked: "What are you doing here? Why are you here so late?"
Seeing that there was an empty seat next to Liu Huixiang's seat, Su Xian walked over and sat next to her. He explained casually: "It took a little time to discuss that case..."
Tang Shujing also sat down, sitting next to Su Xian, because that was the last seat.
Next to her is Tang Shuwan, next to Tang Shuwan is Tang Ju, next to Tang Ju is Mrs. Chen, next to Mrs. Chen is Liu Huixiang... There are six people at the table, which is just enough to sit.
After Su Xian sat down, he glanced sideways at Liu Huixiang.
There was a smile in the corners of Liu Huixiang's eyes, her eyes were sparkling, and her face was rosy. It was obvious that she was very relaxed and comfortable. It seemed that she was very happy getting along with Mrs. Chen and the others.
"Now that everyone is here, let's serve the food."
Soon the food was on the table and everyone started eating.
After all, Tang Ju and Mrs. Chen are direct descendants of aristocratic families, and they eat in a more elegant manner.
Tang Shuwan, as the legitimate daughter of an aristocratic family, seemed to be too elegant and a bit restrained. When Su Xian looked over, she did not dare to look at her and just silently lowered her head and chewed the rice grains.
Su Xian felt a little strange. The last few times he saw Tang Shuwan, she had been polite and generous, and she could even make moderate jokes. But why was she so restrained this time?
Liu Huixiang was also quite restrained. After all, it was the first time in so many years to face so many people and eat with so many people, and she couldn't let go for a while.
As for Su Xian and Tang Shujing, they should be the two most relaxed.
Su Xian is now highly appreciated by Princess Lanling, and has made great achievements in Youzhou. The improvement of his social status has given him a psychological advantage, and he will not be afraid in ordinary situations.
Tang Shujing is straightforward and natural. In addition to the most basic table manners, she eats like a starved sow, quickly wiping out the delicacies on the table...
After the meal, the dishes were removed, but no one left.
Tang Ju and Su Xian chatted about the details of the wedding on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the Tang family's preparations to send a dowry, etc. These issues need to be finalized in advance.
】
Mrs. Chen and the other girls did not interrupt, but listened silently, with different expressions and expressions.
Liu Huixiang and Tang Shuwan both lowered their heads, their faces flushed. Only when they mentioned themselves did they raise their eyes slightly, and then quickly lowered their heads.
There seemed to be a nail growing on Tang Shujing's stool. She kept twisting and yawning secretly. She wanted to say goodbye but didn't dare to leave. She was bored.
Not long after, all major matters were basically finalized.
Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes wandered on Liu Huixiang and Tang Shuwan, and said with a smile: "Huixiang, you can squeeze in Wan'er's place tonight, and then move in when the residence is ready tomorrow."
Liu Huixiang had long noticed the cousin who was a model for everyone's ladies. She raised her eyes and nodded: "Yes."
Mrs. Chen looked at Tang Shuwan and said with a smile: "Wan'er, from now on Huixiang and us will be a family. You should treat me as a good person. Do you understand?"
"My daughter understands, please rest assured, mother." Tang Shuwan said softly.
She was actually beating a drum in her heart, especially when Mrs. Chen mentioned "a family"...
It was getting late, so Su Xian said goodbye and left after seeing that everything was arranged.
He did not return to his new home on Dongcheng Street, but returned to his hometown on Jiaolou Street.
After a hard day's work, he yawned and opened the door of his room to rest.
Yang Zhilan followed Su Xian and was about to go in, but Su Xian in front of her suddenly waved her hand and ordered: "I want to change clothes, you can come in later."
boom!
The door is closed.
Yang Zhilan, who was a little confused, put her ear to the crack of the door and vaguely heard a charming voice saying: "...The one next door is not here, the young master belongs to the slave family tonight..."
