Chapter 74 Instigating Behind the Scenes, My Aunt

"Very good." He took the spring bag and smiled slightly, "I like it very much. It's just that I'm tired of worrying."

He called her Qingqing again, but she was too ashamed to look at him, "As long as you like it."

On the day of Yulan Festival, Xie Heng was invited to come to the Marquis of Changning as a guest.

After the banquet was over, the girl called him back, "In ten days, it will be my birthday. Daddy will hold a banquet for me in the residence. Will you come?"

He replied to her in a gentle voice, "Of course I'm here. It's Qingqing's birthday, why not come."

So that day when she got up in the morning, she dressed up, put on her usual favorite gold-plated opera bead dancer, and a white skirt with a smoke cage that dragged the floor. She was dressed delicately and pretty, waiting for him to come.

It's just this waiting, and I waited from dawn to dark.

He has been in the future.

She raised her skirt and went to look for him in his mansion, only to see him coming back from outside the mansion drunkenly.

"Why is my sister here?" He stepped forward to hug her drunkenly, and the scorching breath sprayed on her neck, which made her tremble slightly.

Xi Chi quickly came to help, "I'm sorry, Miss Zhao. The adults in the Imperial Academy insisted on taking our young master to drink today. No, they drank a little too much, and they mistook you for our third young lady."

The girl has no doubt about him.

She knew that Xie Heng had a younger sister named Xie Shuang, who was about the same age as her and was currently in her boudoir, not yet married.

After the girl left, Xi Chi helped Xie Heng back to the room.

He drank the hangover soup, raised his hand to rub his frowning brows, and asked Qi Chi, "When did it happen?"

"Just a few days ago." Qi Chi replied respectfully from below, "On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, the mansion went to the Xuyu Temple to pray for peace and blessings, and the cousin was taken away. When our people arrived, the girl was already called Mr. Chen was rescued. I heard that he was fine, but he was beaten all over his body when he ran away. I'm afraid it will take a long time to recuperate. It's about the girl's innocence, and the mansion doesn't dare to say anything. Interrogation in a courtyard outside."

Lang Jun's deep eyes had cooled down when he heard that she had been injured all over. He looked at Qi Chi with dark and gloomy eyes, "I asked you to guard her, and that's how you guarded her?"

Qi Chi was terrified, and hurriedly knelt down, "Forgive me, my lord, the Xuyu Temple has been sealed up by the mansion, and outsiders are not allowed to enter..."

His voice gradually became weaker, and he didn't dare to argue anymore.

Outsiders see this son of his family as elegant and humble, gentle and polite, but he is the only one who knows how cruel and difficult he is.

No, not only I know it, but that person also knows it.

Qichi is now secretly blessing her in her heart to seek good luck, and is delusional to marry to Jiangzhou quietly under the nose of the young master?It's a fool's dream.

At the moment when Xichi was thinking wildly, Xie Heng asked again, "Who is it?"

What he asked was the person behind the scenes.

Xi Chi came back, "Aunt Fang in the west courtyard."

He cautiously mentioned again, "The mansion doesn't know about this yet, and the criminal is being interrogated intensively. Shall we spread the news and let the master know?"

"Need not."

Xie Heng knew his father's temperament.

With so many years of friendship left there, he can't do anything anyway, so it's better for him to come in person.

*
Aunt Fang has been frightened and panicked ever since she came back from Yunxi.

When she went to see the robber that day, she was completely wrapped up, only her eyes were exposed, and she was not afraid that he would reveal herself.

But she was still afraid.

YouQi came back from Xuyu Temple and saw Yun Xi's eyes that glanced over from time to time, clear and clear, as if she had seen through her, and became more and more uneasy.
