Chapter 224 Thought she was a child bride
Xiao Yuexi timidly moved forward, trying to grasp Xiao Tong's sleeves, but the other party took two steps forward without leaving a trace, letting the fabric slide across her hands, leaving nothing in place.
"Brother..."
She called again, her words gentle.
Xiao Tong covered his lips with his hand and coughed softly, "Go back."
He returned to the room, only clear frost fell on the floor.
Xiao Yuexi pursed her lips and stood in the yard, watching the door close helplessly, feeling a huge pain in her heart.
But she also knew Xiao Tong's temperament. He looked as gentle as jade and spoke very well, but in fact he was a very cold person. What she said today was really too much. That matter would eventually be brought to the table. Said.
"Who are you?"
Xiao Yuexi was stunned for a moment when a voice came from outside the door. When she looked back, she saw a familiar yet unfamiliar face, and was a little stunned for a moment.
"I understand, you are Yue Xi, right?"
The woman said something in a clear voice, her brows and eyes tinged with laughter.
As her memory returned, Xiao Yuexi suddenly remembered her identity as the concubine of the Duke's Mansion, a proud and aloof noblewoman.
She would never forget the day when the emperor took her back to the capital. Zhao Wantang cried so hard that she rushed out of the crowd in a dignified outfit and then stood there timidly, looking like she was about to cry.
Those eyes covered with mist are heart-breaking to look at.
Just one look made Xiao Yueran feel like her brother was going to be robbed. Fortunately, she left the capital later, but unexpectedly, she came back.
Before Xiao Yuexi came back to her senses, Zhao Wantang had already arrived in front of her.
Her eyes fell on Zhao Wantang's hand. It was a black fox fur cloak. She recognized it as Xiao Tong's.
"I came to see Xiao Tong, but he's back? It was too cold just now. He gave me his cloak, but he forgot to take it back."
Zhao Wantang whispered something and looked over there with her beautiful eyes.
Xiao Yuexi tried her best to smile, "He's inside, just go in."
"Okay, Ye Liang, did you have a quarrel with him? I saw that he was in a bad mood today. Do you need me to help you beg for mercy?"
"Need not!"
Xiao Yuexi's tone was a bit colder, "There's no need for you to pretend to be kind."
Zhao Wantang was stunned, and then looked behind Xiao Yuexi. There, Xiao Tong was already standing at the door without knowing when, his face stained with frost.
"Where have all the rules you learned over the years gone? It seems like you really need to learn the rules!"
Xiao Yuexi stiffened and turned around in disbelief.
By this time, Zhao Wantang had already bowed in a polite and standard manner, and everyone's ladylike manners were just right.
"Yue Xi is still young, Your Highness must not offend her."
Her voice was gentle and clearly not hostile, but she seemed particularly uncomfortable with Xiao Yuexi.
"She's not young anymore. If she hadn't been too arrogant these years, she should have decided to get married long ago."
"Your Highness, please don't say that. If you calculate it this way, I am several months older than her. Doesn't this mean we are not married?"
Zhao Wantang said with a smile, his words full of coquettishness, and then he took a few steps forward and sent the cloak over, "You left it behind."
"I go first."
Before Xiao Tong could say anything, Xiao Yuexi had already ran out.
The two people here were stunned for a moment, and Zhao Wantang smiled helplessly, "She used to be very well-behaved. Your Highness, please don't worry. I will ask her to go out for a walk tomorrow." .”
"Do you still remember that when I first brought you back, I saw her next to His Highness, looking well-behaved, sensible, supple and agile. I thought the Queen had found a child bride for His Highness, but I was so angry. Yes, I cried at that time.”
Xiao Tong was in a daze, as if he was remembering some past events.
Then he coughed twice.
Zhao Wantang opened the cloak and put it on him. He stiffened and quickly pulled it off again.
"Your Highness?"
"You go back first."
Xiao Tong's voice was clear, but he could not refuse.
Zhao Wantang was just stunned for a moment, then quickly came to his senses, saluted, and left.
When she walked to the middle of the yard, she paused again and looked back at Xiao Tong. Under the halo, Mr. Lang Yue looked incredibly beautiful. She bit her lip, and the stubbornness in her eyes receded one by one, turning into light and innocent. The smile comes.
The daughter-in-law of the Duke's Palace returned to the capital, and the first thing she did when she came back was to meet the queen and then the prince. This matter was not a secret, and it soon spread to the ears of the nobles of various aristocratic families.
Everyone opened their eyes for a moment, wanting to see whose mansion this delicate flower like her would end up.
Zhao Wantang's status, behavior, music, chess, calligraphy and painting...
Everything is excellent, but how good is it?
Haitang said that if Miss Zhao was still here, the rumors about Princess Yueran in the capital in recent years should all fall on Miss Zhao, as well as the previous Miss Bai Yingying...
They all became famous after Miss Zhao left the capital.
In other words, Zhao Wantang outranked almost all the ladies from aristocratic families in the capital. From this look, her return this time is probably going to be exciting.
"Princess, something happened on the seventh day of the lunar month!"
Jin Yan was still thinking about Zhao Wantang, and someone came to deliver a message from outside.
She was stunned for a moment, "What's the matter?"
"Disappeared, got hurt on the face, and... also hurt the body."
Jin Yan stood up in a hurry, thinking about Chu Qi who looked arrogant even though she had a pimple on her face that day, her brows suddenly tightened a little.
"Does the princess know about this?"
"We have sent someone to inform him that Mr. Zhu is not in the capital these days. A letter has been sent over on the first day of the new year."
Jinyan changed into men's clothes and went out, riding directly to Suijieju.
"She must have disappeared last night. She was thrown at the door this morning. Her body was covered with injuries, and they were very similar to Yijue's injuries before."
Chu Yi said with red eyes and a hoarse voice.
Jin Yan was stunned as soon as she entered the door.
Zhu Jinke said that he gave Ningxiang Tower 3 taels of silver, which was enough to buy half of Ningxiang Tower, but he didn't expect that they would still pursue him so closely.
"Get out!"
Before he reached Chu Qi's room, crackling sounds could be heard inside, mixed with his dark anger.
Jin Yan suddenly paused, looking at the mess and the maidservant who had fled from inside, her brows furrowed a little.
She took a deep breath and stepped in, "Don't get angry at your own people if you are bullied. They feel bad when they look at you. If you grow up, we will return it!"
Her voice was cold, stained with frost, and exuded an evil nature.
Several people in the room were stunned for a long time.
Jin Yan looked around and said, "Clean up this place."
Then he looked at Chu Qi again and said, "You too, you should see a doctor and take medicine. Yue Xi and I are here, no one can bully you. What are you afraid of? Let's get it back fist by fist!"
The coldness on Chu Qi's face dissipated at this moment, and she looked at Jin Yan blankly, with a look of shock on her face. .
