Sifang Theater.
Lu Yitong waited impatiently for a long time, but Xiao Qintang was nowhere to be seen.
Just as he was about to leave in despair, his eyes were suddenly covered.
"Guess who I am?"
"Tang'er!"
Lu Yitong's heart moved, and he quickly turned around and grabbed Xiao Qintang's finger, looking at her with surprise on his face, "I thought you wouldn't come today..."
"I..." Xiao Qintang shyly withdrew her finger and said in a low voice, "I promised you."
"Um!"
Lu Yitong smiled and nodded heavily.
He protected Xiao Qintang from the surrounding people, and the two returned to the stands and sat down.
Xiao Qintang was originally thinking about Lingzhao Temple, but someone clicked on The West Chamber at this time and attracted her attention.
She has actually seen a lot of plays. Whenever there is a festival in the house or someone celebrates a birthday, Ruan Yunluo always invites a theater to come to the house to make it lively. But those songs were all happy and auspicious stories, but she had never read the West Chamber.
So I was confused for a moment.
It wasn't until she saw Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng getting married that she breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lu Yitong.
Coincidentally, Lu Yitong was also looking at her lovingly. The two looked at each other and both lowered their heads in shame.
After a while, Xiao Qintang asked in a low voice, "Has the matter of the conspiracy been settled?"
Lu Yitong shook his head and said with a look of shame on his face: "I'm sorry Tang'er, I disappoint you."
"How could it be?" Xiao Qintang quickly shook his head to comfort him, "How could I be disappointed with you? If I am disappointed, I am also disappointed with those blind losers. You are so talented that they don't use it. Instead, you use it for a small profit. Those dandies... Your Majesty should really kill them all!"
"Shhh."
Lu Yitong quickly looked around.
Seeing that everyone was watching the show seriously, he breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xiao Qintang with a wry smile: "Actually, I don't care. Anyway, I don't like the intrigues in the officialdom. I'm used to it."
"It's just..." He looked at Xiao Qintang deeply in distress, "I'm just afraid of delaying you."
"Why is this a delay?"
Xiao Qintang shook his head quickly.
She reached out, secretly grabbed Lu Yitong's finger under the table, and said to him seriously: "Brother Lu, I never thought you were delaying me. Moreover, I have an idea now. If you are willing, we can never do it again." No need to be sneaky.”
"What's the idea?"
"In three days, my sister-in-law will take me to Lingzhao Temple to see her. Then you will go too and make our affairs known to everyone. When the rumors are spread, they will have to disagree."
"this……"
Lu Yitong lowered his head and thought carefully, then shook his head at Xiao Qintang, "You are so wronged by doing this. How will you behave in the future after such a big fuss?"
"I don't care!" Xiao Qintang was determined, "Anyway, you are the one I want to marry. As long as you don't dislike me, I don't care what other people do."
"What about your family?"
"They will definitely be angry...but sooner or later they will forgive me."
"But I don't want you to be like this..." Lu Yitong looked at Xiao Qintang with distressed eyes and sighed: "However, since you have really made up your mind, actually, I have a better way."
"What can I do!" Xiao Qintang's eyes lit up and she urged.
"This method is..." Lu Yitong said the key point and suddenly waved his hand, "That's all, how can I teach you such a thing? Who have I become?"
"Lu Yitong!" Xiao Qintang was a little angry, "Just say what I ask you to say!"
"Alas!" Lu Yitong sighed heavily. Compromisingly, he came closer to Xiao Qintang and said something like this in her ear, which made Xiao Qintang very happy.
She glared at Lu Yitong and couldn't help complaining, "You have such a good idea, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
"I never thought of it." Lu Yitong was helpless, "Weren't you forced to do this?"
"Okay, okay, sorry..."
Xiao Qintang comforted him, and then returned to the house with satisfaction.
Cage Smoke Pavilion.
Yin Xiaorou shook her head and rejected Xiao Chongjing's approach.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Chongjing looked at Yin Xiaorou's aggrieved expression strangely, helplessly, "Who bullied you again? Qintang?"
"no."
Yin Xiaorou shook her head.
"Qintang didn't come to see you?"
Xiao Chongjing was even more surprised.
"Why did she come to me?" Yin Xiaorou punched his chest dissatisfied, "She didn't come to me, are you still disappointed?"
"How could it be?" Xiao Chongjing pinched her ears helplessly, "It's not like you don't know Qintang's character. She doesn't care when she goes crazy. Aren't I worried about you? Besides, there's no movement from her side. Who knows if Ruan Yunluo did what I said?"
"Then you have to urge Madam, don't let her be lazy~"
"So impatient?"
Xiao Chongjing pinched the tip of her nose and buried his head in the crook of her neck.
"General~" Yin Xiaorou coquettishly pushed Xiao Chongjing, letting him see the wound that she had changed the medicine on, and said shyly: "Yesterday, your... wound opened... the doctor said you can't... act violently."
"Yeah?"
Xiao Chongjing smiled, lowered his head and kissed the gauze on her chest that was filled with the smell of herbal medicine, and then said ambiguously in her ear: "Then let's play something less intense today..."
…
Three days later.
Lingzhao Temple.
As soon as Ruan Yunluo and Xiao Qintang got off the sedan, they saw Xu Wanchou waiting at the door of Xiangtang.
Unlike Marshal Xu, who was tall and strong, he was dressed in dark blue and had a straight and thin figure, more of a scholar's character.
"Mrs. Ruan, Miss Xiao."
After paying homage politely, he led the way and took Ruan Yunluo and Xiao Qintang to the Xiangtang.
Looking at his free and easy back, Ruan Yunluo could hardly imagine that such a person was called a "mad dog" in his previous life.
However, in the final analysis, he could not be blamed for that matter.
I want to blame the prince for his foul mouth. He got angry because Marshal Xu was ill and didn't attend his banquet. He cursed him in front of all the courtiers as an old man who didn't know how to appreciate others. They also sent people to throw excrement at the entrance of the Marshal's Mansion.
The old marshal was so angry that he died directly.
Logically speaking, for such a serious crime, the emperor should punish him severely. But somehow, the Emperor managed to reveal the matter gently with thunder and rain falling on the ground.
It was just for Xu Wanchou to be promoted from Shaoqing of Dali Temple to Minister of Dali Temple as a consolation.
It is said that Xu Wanchou accepted the compensation without saying a word in the court. But no one expected that from then on, he would secretly search for evidence that the prince was devoted to authority, formed cliques for personal gain, and sold his official position to gain titles.
At the critical moment when the queen was found to have murdered the emperor's heir, he threw out the evidence, directly deposed the prince, and brought down the prince's party from beginning to end.
Even Lu Yitong was almost dismissed from his official position because he received some benefits from the princelings.
In the end, Xiao Qintang went back to her parents' house and cried hard, so Xiao Chongjing shamelessly went to the Xu family to build relationships, and then he saved his wife.
Therefore, with Xu Wanchou's cautious and tolerant yet vengeful personality, Ruan Yunluo was looking forward to what his reaction would be when he discovered Xiao Qintang and Lu Yitong's scheme.
