CHAPTER XXXVIII

Originally, seeing that people were fine, and standing in front of him dignifiedly, his tense heart immediately relaxed slightly, and the woman in front of him, except for a little thinner, seemed to be quite comfortable these days, and her delicate beauty was not reduced by half.

Standing beside him quietly, such a close distance, let his heart be comfortable, and his eyes never moved away, only to see that on the skin that could be broken by blowing, the red lips were as tender as cherries in the snow, as if he had something to say, glutinous and glutinous, Lord Xie, who was sitting in a precarious position, couldn't help but feel his heart flutter, and his throat moved slightly, and he forced himself to look away for a long time.

I don't know how much I used to eat fresh jade food, and the snow skin and jade skin that was raised by the fragrant milk spring water is as thin as paper, bright as a mirror, white as jade, and the bone china with a sound like a chime, which is destined to be expensive since birth, and must be carefully taken care of in the palm of the hand.

I don't know how many times Lord Xie has been shaken, at this time, he also sighed slightly in his heart, in such a quiet time, just thinking, that's it, it's good to stay by his side safely.

But he didn't expect that the other party had no appreciation for this well-thought-out protection and would say such a thing.

Especially seeing her calling adults softly, but her eyebrows and eyes were obviously alienated and indifferent to herself, her face immediately turned cold, and a slight anger began to condense in her eyes.

His eyes flashed, and he said with a chill but hidden: "Do you feel uncomfortable living here?" Wronged you? If so, you can change it. ”

The candle flame shook a few times on the table without wind, and the light in the charcoal basin by the door flickered and flickered, and the room, which was originally warm, was a little condensed and solemn for a while.

Tan Wanqing looked at his changed face, knowing that he was displeased, and it was estimated that in his eyes, she didn't know what to do, but she always had to fight, and when she stopped slightly, she stopped twisting and pinching, and replied softly: "Now that I am like this, I have the luxury of being able to have a tile to cover my body, how dare I feel wronged." ”

Looking at the man who was sitting on the kang with his legs spread out, his hands clenched into his fists and his knees, his eyes slowed slightly, and he cleared his voice and said, "But my lord, I am the daughter of a criminal minister, and this is not a place to stay for a long time, and I live in an adult's mansion, which is not good for my lord's reputation." She said: "I know that my lord has always been an upright official, good words and good deeds, and will not embarrass others in every way, so can you return the household registration used for passing through to me?" Let me reunite with my family......" Her words were soft and gentle, and her voice was gentle and clear.

But when he heard Xie Chengzu's ears, his face became more and more gloomy and ugly.

There is also unwillingness, unwillingness, unwillingness.

"I really don't want to be embarrassed by people, but it also depends on who it is?" He got up from the warm kang and looked at her and said, "You don't think I've forgotten what I did to me, do you?" ”

Tan Wanqing dodged her gaze in the end, pursed her lips, but she was still unwilling to say again: "I heard from your subordinates, you have brought the refugees outside the city into the outer city, and the people sent to Tan Mansion must have replied to the news, I don't know if the adults got those silver taels by the way." ”

The slightly questioning voice made Xie Chengzu's heart even more angry, he took a step forward slightly, and grabbed her wrist: "That little deed, I want to buy all kinds of things in the past, and it is really a self-proclaimed noble daughter, only your life is precious, can the lives of others be used to pass the time with silver." He looked at him sarcastically and said: "But you can't think of it, the land deeds hidden in the bedroom have been taken away as early as when the house was closed, and now that there are no land deeds, what else can you exchange for them." ”

She listened to this sarcastic remark, and her heart was depressed, but she heard that it was taken away? She looked at him in disbelief.

Tan Wanqing naturally didn't believe it, and wanted to find out the clues from his face, just because that place was hidden very hidden, even if the end of the bed was lifted, he might not be able to see the flaws, and the hidden thing was very small, and the space only allowed a silver bottle and jar, how could it be found out, even if the wall was knocked down, it was not easy to find.

In the end, he couldn't help but ask: "Since you haven't found the land deed, how can you get the silver to settle the refugees outside the city?" ”

Xie Chengzu snorted coldly, "It's just a few land deeds, why bother to lie to you." ”

He was a little angry, clenched her soft and boneless hand, and looked at her coldly: "The reason why I sent someone to go to the capital is just that I don't believe that Tanfu has no private gold and silver. ”

He tugged at the corners of his mouth: "The same three important ministers of the imperial court, Zheng Liang's two families have searched out tens of millions of family wealth, but your father's treasury is so clean, this matter is that the emperor can believe it, and I don't believe it, if the water is clear, there is no fish, if he is really upright, how can Zheng Liang and the two have the courage to cover the sky?" ”

Tan Wanqing's heart was shocked, there was no need for him to mention it, she naturally knew better than anyone else about the luxurious life of Tanfu over the years, could it be that he really found a lot of property in Tanfu? .

She not only thought that when there was a great drought in Fengxi and there was no harvest in several cities, her father donated a sum of money to the treasury, although she didn't know the specific silver taels, but this incident made Dong's family make a big fuss in the mansion, and she was sick for a few days, which must be a lot of money, and it was precisely because of this that she was actually a little relieved.

But the words of the person in front of her made her feel worried, the Tan family is now so crumbling, although she barely survived, but she can't bear any hardships, if it is really known, there are still a lot of property hidden in the house, which makes the emperor angry, and it is difficult to escape death if he suffers a crime.

And under the nest, An has finished her eggs, once she loses her father and the Tan family, even if she can survive, her identity and situation are completely like duckweed in the air, which is extremely difficult.

Thinking of this, she didn't want to listen to it, frowned slightly, and even turned her back to find a place to sit.

But she wanted to hide, but some people were unsatisfied.

followed behind her, not slowly, and said unrelentingly: "...... The vault of Danfu is hidden under the rockery ice cellar, which contains 360,000 taels of gold and silver, all of which are the private silver saved by your stepmother for several years, and there are millions of hectares of land in it, and there are 200,000 taels of expenditure in the account, which is moved into the treasury of her mother's house, which is really a good means, and it is hidden from you that no one knows, plus these 200,000 taels, all the property is enough for one million, and now the account book is in my hands, if this account book of Tibetan silver is secretly flowed out and handed over to the saint, I don't know what the emperor will think today? ”

How do you think about it? This sin of deception should be an additional sin, that is, it is good to immediately behead and leave the whole body.

Tan Wanqing was also six gods and no owner for a while, how did she know that things were so worse, one ring after another, complaining that her stepmother had hidden this silver? But if she didn't hide it, the Tan family would be wiped out, but if she didn't complain, how could she end up in such a situation.

Tan Wanqing only felt a little overwhelmed by his words, and just wanted to go outside the door, but as soon as she turned around, her hand was pulled by him, she struggled a few times and did not break free, and every step she took, she had to be dragged back by him.

"You let go!"

"Where are you going? Do you want to go with your father to the border land to reunite with the whole family? ”

Tan Wanqing's mood at this time has also been filled with anger, even if she can't touch the doorway, she also senses that something is wrong, the person in front of her, who has been martial arts since childhood, is standing there as steady as a rock, he is motionless, but he is sweating a little after a few strokes, it seems that he is going to embarrass her, and he has to raise his eyes and stare at him, "You did it on purpose, just for five years ago." ”

"Because you owe me!"

Tan Wanqing gritted her teeth and turned her head without saying a word.

"My mother has never blamed you, do you know how many good things she said for you?" Seeing that she was silent, he whispered in her ear.

It's just a light paste, and the familiar warm fragrance has smoked his voice hoarsely.

Tan Wanqing hurriedly turned sideways to avoid him.

"But how can I be willing, a group of people who claim to be noble but don't take my mother's life seriously, ride a horse on the street in public, and scare her to kneel, not only do not stop the horse, but think she is in the way, whip her, if you are me, what should you do?"

"But the scene was chaotic at that time, if I didn't whip your mother, she would be buried under the horse, if you were me, what would you do?" Tan Wanqing kept twisting her wrist to break away from his hand, but she couldn't help but say, "You let go." ”

Lord Xie held it tightly: "Then you want to say that it is my mother's fault to ride a horse and step on people in the downtown area?" ”

"How do you know that riding a horse in the middle of the city is what I want? But there are reasons why I have to go out, and if I don't take human life seriously, why bother with that whip, and your mother will be trampled on, and she will not fall under my horse's hooves. ”

Tan Wanqing's face was extremely cold, she gritted her teeth and said: "Your mother said good things for me, she knew that if it weren't for me, how could I escape from my sister's horse's hooves, the situation at that time was scared or miscarried, I had to give up the same, in order to keep the same, no matter what, it was better than losing my life on the spot, you complained to me so much, but it didn't make sense, just remember that I beat your mother's whip." ”

The person behind him paused, and then gently rubbed the soft wrist he had just clenched, but his voice was slightly relaxed: "If not, do you think that you can still stand here safely now, your previous identity, maybe no one dares to do anything to you, but now, even if someone treats you too much, you have to endure it, and you also want to go to the border city to open up wasteland and farm, it is so difficult to raise delicate hands, just grind a few times is a piece of red, and you can also reclaim the fields?" I'm afraid that in a few days, my hands will be full of blood. He carefully rubbed the marks that had been held, and his tone finally softened.

Holding her wrist, he said seriously: "Don't mention anything else for the time being, but the three whips you beat me that day were painful, bloody, and the tail of the whip almost cracked the tail of the eye, which is owed to me, you should keep it in mind." He even grabbed her fingers, but the child moved to the end of his eyes.

Tan Wanqing looked up at the corner of his eye, he didn't mention it and didn't find it, but after looking closely, sure enough, there was a faint trace on the right side, which seemed to be a scar, but because of the long time, it was covered by the skin color, and it was not very clear, but looking at the trace, he was almost blind, no wonder he hated her so much.

She was a little out of shape, and her heart was also in a trance, what kind of bad years were she back then? would cause such a disaster for herself, a momentary miss, it was so outrageous that the two mothers and sons were harmed, could she really not escape from this guilt?

I don't know how long I thought about it, but I finally shook it a little tiredly, or not, no matter what, that's all he begged for.

Tan Wanqing let him hold him, sat down along the edge of the warm kang, and after thinking about it for a long time, her voice said coldly: "Okay, you are it, but I have conditions, I am not selling myself to you, and I will not be a concubine, I will never enter the Xie Mansion, you must not beat and scold me, nor can you transfer me to others, just stay until the day of your wedding, I can leave on my own, you need to leave a note." ”

She finished speaking slowly, and after waiting for a long time before looking up, she saw the person next to her, and her face turned blue with anger.
