,!
The Duke's Mansion.
Inner house.
Tang Shuwan's room.
At that time, two sisters, Tang Shuwan and Tang Shujing, were whispering behind closed doors.
"Jing'er, these days...why haven't I seen you visiting my sister?"
Tang Shuwan gently held her sister's little hand and sat side by side. This one was gentle and virtuous, and the other one had bright eyes, like a pair of hoof lilies, or a pair of "fairy ladies".
Tang Shuwan has been married to Su Xian for some time and has been greatly nourished. Although she is a married woman, she looks more beautiful than Tang Shujing.
There is an unspeakable charm in the gentleness.
"Recently...the Yamen has been busy with official business and has accumulated a lot of money. I...I don't have time."
When Tang Shujing said this, she lowered her head.
The fair face with melon seeds was also quietly stained with a touch of sunset.
It turned out that she had been avoiding Su Xian since the last time she learned what "meat compensation" meant from Tang Shuwan.
She didn't dare to see Su Xian, didn't know how to face it, and didn't dare to hear the word Su Xian. She had been hiding. This was the reason why she hadn't visited the Duke's Mansion for a long time.
Of course, she wouldn't say such a thing.
"If there is nothing important, sister, I will go back to the Yamen." Tang Shujing sat there, feeling uncomfortable. She suddenly stood up and broke away from Tang Shuwan's hand, as if she was about to leave.
"Jing'er, sit down first. I'm here to find you this time. I do have something to tell you."
Tang Shuwan took her sister's hand again, gently pulled her back to sit down, and then said with a slightly solemn expression: "Your brother-in-law..."
"ah!"
Tang Shujing suddenly jumped up, with an expression of surprise and horror on her face.
It was as if there was a thorn in the seat that pricked her.
"Jing'er, what's wrong with you?"
"No...it's okay. Sister, please continue talking."
Tang Shujing sat back down.
When Tang Shuwan saw this, she didn't take it seriously and continued: "Your brother-in-law..."
Unexpectedly, although Tang Shujing did not jump up this time, her whole delicate body trembled slightly, as if she was extremely uncomfortable.
"Jing'er, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Why don't you ask the imperial doctor to check your pulse? By the way, your brother-in-law's medical skills are very good. Why don't you let him take a look at you?"
"Look?" Tang Shujing's lips trembled and her voice trembled slightly: "What are you looking at?"
"Look at your body!"
"Look at the body...body?!"
Tang Shujing slowly opened her mouth.
If that stinky brother-in-law looked at her... body, the idea of "meat to pay for it" would probably come true!
don't want!
However, she quickly understood that her sister probably didn't mean that, so she suppressed the discomfort and urged: "Sister, you'd better keep talking, I'm fine."
Seeing that she was fine, Tang Shuwan breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Your brother-in-law is going to travel far away again recently. I'm very worried about his safety!"
"Huh? He's going on a long trip again."
Tang Shujing seemed relieved.
But seeing that her sister looked very worried, she pretended to be worried and stopped saying anything.
"Jing'er, you are good at martial arts. I would like to ask you to... work with your brother-in-law. You can also protect his safety along the way." Tang Shuwan gently held her sister's hand, with a hint of request in her tone.
"Together with him... and to protect him?!"
Tang Shujing twitched the corners of her mouth, with a strong look of resistance in her bright eyes.
In fact, the relationship between the two sisters has always been very good. At the beginning, she was really worried about Tang Shuwan's marriage, fearing that her sister would trust someone wrong.
Tang Shuwan had made such a request many times before. Tang Shujing was naturally obliged to do so and agreed generously every time.
But now...
After thinking for a while, Tang Shujing finally declined: "Actually, sister, you don't have to worry about this. With Yang Nuxia by his side, he can't be in danger. Sister, don't worry!"
Tang Shuwan still looked worried: "Having said that, I can't help but worry in my heart..."
She requested several more times, but seeing that Tang Shujing still refused to let go, she had no choice but to give up and said casually:
"Your brother-in-law should be back soon. Jing'er will stay and have dinner before leaving. Don't you like to eat the barbecue cooked by your brother-in-law? We will have barbecue tonight!"
"No... no need, thank you sister for your kindness, but the office is really busy..."
How could Tang Shujing dare to stay and eat the barbecue cooked by Su Xian?
I casually gave a reason and started talking.
When Tang Shuwan saw this, she thought she was really busy with official duties, so she had to tell her to take a rest and not to get exhausted.
"I understand, sister, please stop, I'm going right away..."
Tang Shujing ran out for a long time and finally got rid of her sister. She stopped, patted her chest gently, and gasped for air.
But who would have thought that Su Xian's voice came from behind a moon gate in the distance: "...You all go and do your work. I also have to go back to the Taiwei Mansion to make some preparations."
scare!
Tang Shujing's legs suddenly became weak, and her whole delicate body felt inexplicably sore.
The fair-skinned Guazi's face was full of shock and fear.
She hurriedly shortened her body and hid behind a big tree. At the same time, she held her breath and waited for Su Xian to go away.
Fortunately, after Su Xian said that, he left the place without entering the Moon Gate.
"so close!"
Tang Shujing took a deep breath, composed herself, and then took a detour to leave the Duke's Mansion.
Come to the street where people come and go.
After taking only two steps, someone caught up with me and shouted, "Second Miss, Second Miss, please stop!"
"Who are you?" Tang Shujing stopped and looked back. It turned out to be a person wearing official uniform of the Yamen.
"Second Miss, the younger one is a government servant in Henan Prefecture!"
"Oh, it's you, what do you want from me?"
"Second Miss, Mingfu would like to ask you to come to the government office, saying that we have something urgent to discuss."
"Daddy asked me to come over? I think it's to discuss a certain matter. Okay, I'll go right away."
"..."
Tang Shujing is the undercover officer of the Prison Department, and her father Tang Ju is the governor of Henan Prefecture. Both father and daughter have the authority to investigate and handle crimes.
Therefore, they often get together.
I once broke several big gums with my hands...
Soon I came to the government office.
Go straight to Tang Ju's room.
After a brief exchange of words, Tang Shujing was surprised. It turned out that her father did not call her here to discuss a certain incident!
Tang Shujing wondered: "Dad, if it wasn't to discuss the matter, why did you ask me to come here? Could it be...Dad, you are short of pocket money again?"
"What pocket money? What nonsense are you talking about?"
Tang Ju was so angry that he blew his beard. He turned to look at the yamen on duty, and then glared at the unfilial daughter, as if to say: "There are outsiders here, why don't you save some face for your father?"
After driving away the government officials, Tang Ju ordered Tang Shujing to close the doors and windows, and then slowly stated his purpose:
"Your brother-in-law is going on a long trip recently to the shipyard in Haizhou, Henan Province. I am very worried about this and want to arrange for you to go with him. You have good skills and can protect your brother-in-law's safety."
"Dad, what did you say?!"
Tang Shujing immediately jumped three feet high, like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and directly refused: "You can go, but I won't go anyway!"
