Mother is not wrong, once that secret is revealed to the public, the entire Tang Mansion will be implicated, and the fourth uncle will definitely stay away from the Tang Mansion completely after finding his real family, and she may even have a luxury hope of seeing him again in the future.

Therefore, for the sake of the little selfishness in his heart, Tang Lan decided to listen to Zhang's words and completely hide this secret in his heart.

"Actually, Lan'er doesn't have anything important, but she just knows that the fourth uncle and the sixth sister are leaving tomorrow, so I want to come to the fourth uncle to see if there is anything that can be helped by Lan'er." After a pause, he was worried that his words would cause Tang Hanfeng to misunderstand, so he explained: "After coming out of my grandmother's Wuyuan this morning, Lan'er, her mother and a few aunts went to the sixth sister's Qixia Courtyard to help the sixth sister pack all her luggage. Because it was inconvenient for my mother and several aunts to come to the fourth uncle, but I was worried that the fourth uncle would leave something missing or forgotten if he cleaned up alone, so I thought about asking Lan'er to come to the fourth uncle to see if there was anything to help. ”

Tang Hanfeng looked at Tang Lan with an uncertain look in his eyes: "Thank you for your concern for me, I have already cleaned up everything here, so that they don't have to worry." ”

"Oh, okay." Tang Lan avoided Tang Hanfeng's eyes, picked up the teacup on the side and lowered his head to drink tea to hide his weakness. After taking two sips, he raised his head with a smile: "I don't know how long the fourth uncle and sixth sister are going to leave this time?" Will you be coming back for the holidays this New Year? ”

Tang Hanfeng glanced at Tang Lan, and then shook his head: "The specific length of walking has not yet been determined, and it will depend on the situation at that time." As for the New Year's ......" Tang Hanfeng hesitated: "There are too many affairs in the frontier that I need to deal with now, and I shouldn't be back this year." ”

"Hmm." Tang Lan lowered her head, her mood was a little low: "The border environment is harsh, fourth uncle, you have to take care of your body, remember to add a few more clothes when it's cold." If you need anything, you can send a letter to the house, Lan'er must be ready for the fourth uncle. ”

Tang Hanfeng frowned slightly, looking at Tang Lan who lowered his head and talked to himself, he always had a strange feeling in his heart, but he couldn't think of what was strange, so he was silent and didn't squeak.

"Then the fourth uncle, you are busy first, and Lan'er will retire first." Tang Lan saw that Tang Hanfeng didn't pay attention to herself, she was very sad in her heart, and left Jingyue Xuan in a hurry after leaving a word.

After Tang Lan left, Dou Yunxiao walked in from outside the door with a folding fan, looked at Tang Hanfeng, who was expressionless, and couldn't help shaking his head and said, "The thoughts of these five young ladies...... It's really unpredictable. ”

Tang Hanfeng looked at Dou Yunxiao warningly and motioned for him to shut his mouth. The latter smiled and said no more.

Zhuo Ziao looked at Tang Hanfeng and then at Dou Yunxiao, with an inexplicable expression: "What kind of dumb riddle are you playing?" Why didn't I understand a word? ”

Dou Yunxiao shook the folding fan, but smiled silently.

"Miss." Knocking on Tang Xin's door, Shuang'er was a little excited.

Growing up so big, it can be said that it is the first time in history to do the thing of stalking people, and she is nervous and excited all the way, for fear of messing up the task assigned to her by the young lady. Now that the task has been successfully completed, she wants to tell Tang Xin everything she saw as soon as possible.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that after she knocked several times, there was still no movement in the room.

Just when Shuang'er frowned and didn't know what to do, a little maid stepped forward and whispered, "Sister Shuang'er, Miss she is not in the room." ”

Shuang'er turned to look at the little maid and said curiously, "What about Miss?" Do you know where she went? ”

The little maid nodded, and then whispered: "Miss, she is in her aunt's bedroom, since Sister Shuang'er and you took Sister Cai'er away, Miss went there, and she didn't let any of us disturb her." We didn't dare to disobey Miss's words, so we didn't go in, but we were worried that Miss would have an accident, so we took turns to guard outside the house, so we faintly heard Miss's cry. Miss is leaving the capital now, and I think I can't bear our aunt. As she spoke, tears gradually filled the little girl's eyes.

Shuang'er's eyes darkened, and then let the little maid leave first.

Coming to the room where Aunt Wen lived before her death, Shuang'er stood at the door and hesitated for a moment, and finally reached out and knocked on the door: "Miss, it's a slave, Shuang'er." ”

Tang Xin wiped the tears from his face, then sat up from Aunt Wen's bed, and said in a hoarse voice, "The door is not locked, come in." ”

Shuang'er saw that Tang Xin's eyes and nose were red, and she knew that she must have just cried. In order to avoid touching her sadness again, she pretended not to see it and said, "Miss, Cai'er has already returned home." ”

"Hmm." Tang Xin lowered his head and sorted out the folds on his clothes: "Do you see clearly?" Who did she meet when she left the house? ”

"I can see it all." Shuang'er nodded: "She met a man named Niu Dawang, and that man should be her friend." She told the other party that she was going to accompany her master to leave for two or three years, and said that she would let the other party wait for her, and when she came back, she would go out of the house and marry him. Then he gave the other party all the thirty taels of silver that the master gave her, and said that he should resign from his current job, and then use the money to do some small business, so that he can suffer less. ”

"That's all?" Tang Xin asked.

Shuang'er thought for a moment, and then confirmed: "The slave maid has been following her not far away, and she heard this, and nothing else." ”

Tang Xin's face was contemplative: "Cai'er gives me a very complicated feeling, I always feel that she seems to have something to hide from us, but her eyes are very clear, not like the person with bad intentions." After thinking for a while, Tang Xin boldly speculated: "Shuang'er, if you are Cai'er, if you are Cai'er, if your family is not in urgent need of money, will you leave your lover and travel a long distance to a chaotic and unsafe place like the frontier for the extra ten taels of silver every year?" And three years is not a long time, and it is not a short time, isn't she afraid that the man named Niu Dawang will change his mind? ”

Shuang'er's small brows furrowed, and then after hesitating for a moment, he said, "If the slave maid is Cai'er, she shouldn't choose to leave with Miss." Ten taels of silver and danger are actually secondary, the most important thing is that three years is a bit too long, if it is only for that little bit of silver and loses a beautiful marriage that really belongs to him, Shuang'er feels that it will be a very unworthy thing. After a pause, Shuang'er was shocked: "Miss, do you mean that Cai'er will choose to leave with you this time for a purpose?" ”

Tang Xin shook his head: "It doesn't look like it, let's take one step at a time, time is the best way to prove everything." ”
