Tang Xi didn't go back to the restaurant directly after leaving the inn, he ran away so hard, he couldn't go back without doing anything, which would only make them more curious about what they had done, and it would be difficult to guarantee that they would not find out anything at that time.

After thinking about it, she went all the way towards the university scholar's mansion, last time Huo Jinyan warned her not to meddle in her affairs, so that she ran away in order to see Mu Yao, and she also promised Mu Yao to help her again, she didn't have much time left in the capital, so she had to do it in advance.

Tang Xi went alone, and stopped her because the guards didn't recognize her, but fortunately, Mu Yao happened to be about to go out and met her directly, so she was not kicked out as a troublemaker.

After that, Mu Yao took Tang Xi back to her yard, and while the two were roasting the fire, Mu Yao said angrily, "Why did you run out by yourself?" I don't even have anyone around me, how cold it is outside on this snowy day, what can I do if I freeze out again? ”

Listening to Mu Yao's words of concern, Tang Xi felt a little warm, but this time he pulled Mu Yao out to block the gun, and the real reason was really inconvenient to tell, so he only said, "My brother was a little angry that day, so if I come out again, I can't make a big fuss." ”

Mu Yao's face turned pale when she heard this, and then she wanted to cry and said, "Brother Yanyan...... Do you hate me like this? ”

"Hmm...... Not really, my brother is just afraid of delaying you, he has no intention of marrying a wife, and he can't be so tired that you don't marry, so he avoids you, don't think about it. Tang Xi hurriedly explained.

Mu Yao bit her lip, her eyes were still full of sadness, "But this is what I am willing to ...... I'm willing to wait for him. ”

Tang Xi was noncommittal about this, it was really difficult to tell whether the word was right or wrong, and it was useless for her, an outsider, to say more, so she turned to say, "I promised to help you again last time, you have to make a decision quickly, my wedding date is on the twenty-eighth of next month, and when I get married, I'm afraid I won't be able to help." ”

Mu Yao was silent when she heard this, and after a while, as if she had made up her mind, she looked up at her with a look full of determination, "I have thought about it...... The eighth day of next month is my birthday, and then ...... I hope my sister can help me bring my brother Jin Yan over. ”

This matter is simple, Tang Xi nodded after thinking about it, and then couldn't help but ask more, "But can you ask more, what does Miss Mu want to do?" ”

Mu Yao paused, lowered her head and smiled bitterly, "What can I do...... This is my nineteenth birthday, if my brother refuses to let go, I ...... I had no choice but to give up. ”

This topic was really a little sad, and Tang Xi also fell silent, understanding that this was Mu Yao's last chance for herself, so she didn't want to ask anything more.

The atmosphere in this room was a little awkward for a while, but it was Mu Yao who took the lead in breaking the silence, and she squeezed out a very reluctant smile on her face, "It's okay, I've gotten used to it in the past few years...... I had already prepared for the worst. ”

Tang Xi nodded, and had no intention of continuing, calculating that Time Shadow Er should also wake up, so she saluted Mu Yao, "Sister Mu, I also ran away secretly, and if I don't go back, I'm afraid that there will be a mess, and today I just came over to ask, I have a good impression of Sister Mu, so I want to fulfill my previous promise before I get married." ”

Mu Yao said gratefully, "Thank you, Sister Jinshi, for your great kindness...... I take it to heart. ”

Then Mu Yao personally sent her out of the house, she didn't take the carriage when she came, Mu Yao also deliberately let the carriage in the house send her back, the courtesy was extremely thoughtful, which made Tang Xi a little embarrassed, and couldn't help but secretly decide in her heart that she would do her best to do her best.

When he arrived at the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, as soon as Tang Xi got out of the carriage, the guards at the door suddenly surrounded him, his face full of anxiety, "Miss, you're back!" ”

"Send someone to inform!"

Tang Xi opened his mouth in astonishment, "This ...... What's going on? Why don't you see you so enthusiastic on weekdays? ”

"Miss, you also said that you suddenly ran away, but the adult was in a hurry, no, the adult left the house to look for you in person just now!"

Tang Xi was startled, and then touched his nose with a little weakness, "Yes...... Is it that serious? I'll just go play by myself for a while......"

The guard shook his head helplessly, "It's cold outside, Miss go in and wait for the adult, I've just let someone inform you, and it is estimated that the adult will be back in a while." ”

Tang Xi, who was in trouble, obediently followed him into the gate, and then went to the front hall to wait for Huo Jinyan.

After a short time, Huo Jinyan entered the house mixed with a body of wind and snow, Tang Xi found that it was snowing outside, Huo Jinyan didn't know how long he had been outside, his face was red from the cold, and he looked a little cute, but his expression was really not cute.

"Tang Xi!" Huo Jinyan's eyes were full of anger, Tang Xi had also seen him get angry a few times, but this time it was particularly serious, she was so frightened that she immediately shrunk her neck, and then obediently lowered her head and stood up.

"My lord......" She raised her eyes to peek at him weakly, and saw that the anger on his face had not subsided, and hurriedly explained, "Don't be angry, sir, I'll go out for a walk by myself...... You don't let me associate with Mu Yao, so I dumped Ying Er and them......" Speaking of this, she paused slightly, "That...... What about Mioka and Kageji? ”

"Tang Xi! You're not a kid anymore, can you not be so willful? Huo Jinyan's anger was not extinguished for half a minute, and he looked at her with a bit of gritted teeth, "Do you know that if I marry you to Lu Zheng, it is equivalent to tying the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Marquis of Anyuan's Mansion together, the two families are both important roles in the court, and now that they are combined, do you know how many people are eyeing and trying to stop it?" ”

Tang Xi was slightly stunned, and then her head suddenly cleared up a lot, she had only been worrying about her own affairs, but she had forgotten this powerful relationship! No wonder Huo Jinyan always wants others to follow when she goes out, because she is worried that someone will be unfavorable to her!

Huo Jinyan is right, the Marquis of Anyuan Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion are both behemoths, if they are tied together now, then the future power will only go to a higher level, which is what many people do not want to see, and Feng Lie must be included in these many people! Lu Zheng is An Yuanhou's favorite son, if something happens, I'm afraid An Yuanhou will never give up easily, and most people know what is going on with his so-called Huo Jinyan's own sister, so no matter how much Huo Jinyan values her, in the eyes of most people, she is just a chess piece for him, how can he do his best to get justice for her if the chess piece is dead?

In contrast to these two compartments, she suddenly became the target of public criticism! As long as anyone wants to sabotage this marriage, I'm afraid they have to find a way to start with her! Thinking about it carefully, she was suddenly shocked into a cold sweat.

"My lord......" After a while, Tang Xi bit his lip, lowered his head and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I know it's wrong." ”

She really knew that she was wrong, and she didn't know if she was no longer in a high position, so her mind was much lighter in times of peace, and she didn't even understand such a simple truth at this time, or was it ...... She was focused on Huo Jinyan, and she only cared about making trouble with him, so Huo Jinyan sent people to watch her behavior, and she only misinterpreted it as Huo Jinyan didn't believe her, and she didn't expect that this was all for her safety, which was really undeserved!

Sure enough, ruthless people are more powerful, because they will not be swayed by emotions, so they will see things more objectively!

I don't know if it's because her admitting mistake is quite sincere, Huo Jinyan's face finally looks a lot better, and after a while, he sat on the chair, still with cold eyebrows, but his tone was much softer, "Do you really know it's wrong?" ”

Tang Xi nodded hurriedly, "I really know, I didn't think about it so much before, I'm sorry for your ...... Worried. ”

Huo Jinyan raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and sighed, "Tang Xi, now I am not the same as before, although I am still the prime minister, but the emperor is dissatisfied with me, so I am also a thorn step by step, in case there is no place to take care of you, your willful behavior is likely to kill you!" ”

“…… Don't worry, I promise there will never be a next time. Her eyes were full of complexity, and she said in a low voice.

After a while, Huo Jinyan waved his hand, as if he was a little tired, "Go back." ”

Tang Xi pursed his lips but didn't move, "That...... What about Kageji and Myoka? ”

Huo Jin's tone was very light, "The two of them made a mistake and they have to accept punishment, which has nothing to do with you." ”

Tang Xi felt a little guilty in her heart, but in the end, she was Huo Jinyan's person, she couldn't be the master, and Huo Jinyan was really old-fashioned in some places, even if she pleaded, it would never have any effect, let alone ...... She was self-aware, and the weight she had in Huo Jinyan's heart still didn't affect his decision, so she didn't speak again in the end.

She walked out with a heavy heart, her mind in turmoil, many thoughts swirling in her mind, until she finally stopped when she took the fifth step.

Her voice was a little cold, with extremely complicated emotions between her words, "Actually, my sister never said that she would entrust me to the care of adults. ”

Huo Jinyan looked up, but the man pushed open the door as if nothing had happened, and disappeared into the snowstorm.

He couldn't help but clench his fingers clenching the teacup, but he let go of it for a while.

The teacup fell to the ground, and the tea splashed out and wet the corners of his clothes, but he, who had always been a bit clean, only sat quietly without half a reaction, looking at it from a distance, the figure was actually a little depressed.

Nothing has changed, what Tang Xi said that day was like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing half a wave, sometimes Tang Xi calmed down and couldn't help but wonder, did he really say it that day?

If it was really said, why didn't Huo Jinyan react at half? She knew that all the reasons why he was good to her were the "Fengxi's entrustment" that she made up, so when she willfully told the "truth", why didn't he get angry or retaliate?

But in the end, Tang Xi didn't have the courage to provoke for the second time, and it was just an impulse under the sour heart at that time.

His worries about Tang Xi were too obvious, so obvious that she couldn't control the little joy in her heart, but at the same time, another voice in her heart was telling her that all these worries were just because of Feng Xi, and they had nothing to do with you Tang Xi.

This feeling...... It's really terrible, that's why she said that kind of provocative thing impulsively, but when she really said it, she didn't have the courage to face it, so she ran away like that.

More than ten days have passed since that day, and Tang Xi is cowering in his yard and doesn't dare to go out, but seeing that Mu Yao's birthday is coming, Tang Xi can't help but feel a little anxious, but how should she speak?

And the next day, Mu Yao's post was delivered, so she hesitated again and again, but she still went out and ran to find Huo Jinyan.

"Your Excellency......" She pursed her lips a little crampedly, a little unsure of how to speak.

However, Huo Jinyan did not have any abnormality on his face, and asked as usual, "What's the matter?" ”
