Chapter 147: A play within a play

It was easy to get to dinner, Tang Xu finally found a reason to ask Tang Ru to invite Miss Cousin to come over for dinner together, Tang Ru invited someone to come as he said, and served very diligently, from time to time he put vegetables in Xiaocui's bowl, and persuaded her to eat more and not to see outside. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Tang Xu didn't blame her for snatching all her lines, but she was drumming in her heart, could it be that Tang Ru just liked that face?

"Cousin, we are also close relatives, although we didn't move around much before, but now that we are here, we don't want to see outside, just treat this place as our home." Tang Xu said the first thing to Xiaocui after the meal.

"Thank you cousin for your concern." Xiao Cui agreed naturally, Tang Xu admired her for switching roles so naturally, and she was not as calm as she was even half a bystander.

After greeting this, Tang Xu wanted to say something else, otherwise the atmosphere of the two of them just eating with their heads bored would be a little too embarrassing, but what to ask? Ask family? I know it myself, ask about the past? I know it, but it's really hard to ask this kind of thing knowingly.

"Cousin." When Tang Xu was still struggling, Xiao Cui spoke. Finally, a life-saving straw came, and Tang Xu responded particularly loudly. Tang Ru on the side didn't know if he was frightened or what, and frowned slightly.

"Cousin, I don't know where my brother went to visit his friends, and how long will it take to come back?" Xiao Cui put down the dishes and chopsticks, as if she had already eaten.

Tang Xu was depressed again, Xiao Cui had asked this a few times, I don't know what she meant by asking now, maybe she wanted to pretend to care about her brother very much, so that Tang Ru wouldn't notice the strange atmosphere, but she asked coldly and didn't know how else to answer, if she knew this, she should have talked to her first.

"Young Master Cousin is actually not in Kaifeng now." Tang Ru replied, Tang Xu was shocked, she didn't understand why she grabbed the words again, but the words meant that she didn't want Xiaocui to have doubts, which meant that she didn't suspect that Xiaocui was the cousin young master in her mouth, well, it was also a good thing.

"Where is he now? Could it be that you have already left this place? Xiao Cui pretended to be surprised, and even wanted to stand up. Tang Xu held back a smile in his heart, Lan Jun pretended to be sick vividly and amazingly, but he didn't expect Xiao Cui to be a good actor.

"Miss Cousin, don't worry, Young Master Cousin originally went to visit a friend, but later my lord asked him to help with something, so he went out again." Tang Ru's response was fluent, and Tang Xu couldn't help but wonder if she had already thought of a set of rhetoric to deal with it.

"Since I went out to run errands for my cousin, why did you coax me to visit my friends in the first place?" Although Xiao Cui's tone was still soft, her face was difficult to look at.

"Miss Cousin, don't blame, just because this matter is important, I thought that if Miss Cousin waited with peace of mind, I wouldn't mention it to you. But Miss Biao was very anxious about the young master of Biao, so she had to tell the truth. Tang Ru replied.

"What's important? Could it be dangerous? Xiao Cui's expression was serious, she couldn't tell at all that she was just pretending, Tang Xu, a spectator, was a little confused on the side, and for a moment he really thought that the person in front of him was just an outsider who looked the same as Xiao Cui.

"It's not a dangerous thing, it's just that I want to find a few medicinal herbs in the palace, and my lord has a position and it is inconvenient to go far away, so I entrusted it to the young master. No matter how small the matter in the palace is, it is a big thing, so naturally it should not be mentioned lightly. Tang Ru smiled slightly.

"Is there really no danger?" Xiaocui does not relent.

"There is really no danger, Miss Cousin, don't worry." Tang Ru is still pleasant.

"That being the case, I'm relieved." Xiao Cui also followed her words and loosened her tastured face.

"Miss Cousin, just stay and wait in peace." Tang Ru said and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Cui, Xiao Cui thanked him and took a shallow sip in his hand. Tang Xu watched these two women put on a good show, and he didn't know what to comment, but he was a little complicated in his heart.

After eating, Tang Xu felt that it was not good to keep Xiaocui down, so he asked Tang Ru to send her back to the room to rest. Just as he was thinking about how to change this situation, Tang Ru returned.

"Why did you say those things to her, why didn't you discuss them with me first, and what if you leaked out?" Tang Xu pretended to be displeased and raised the old man's shelf to Tang Ru. Although he was most worried about Tang Ru's identity of entangled with Xiaocui, now attacking and defending is the best policy.

"The old man is angry, and the slave is guilty." Tang Ru didn't refute, seeing that Tang Xu was angry, he immediately knelt on the ground.

"I said you don't have to bow when there are no outsiders, don't you want to make me angry?" Tang Xu reprimanded loudly.

"How dare the slave and maid make the lord angry, but the slave and maid are also making their own claims today, please calm the lord's anger." Tang Ru still knelt on the ground.

"Get up and speak." Tang Xu thought that this was the right time, but he still pulled a face.

"The slave maid wanted to appease Miss Biao and let her live in the house with peace of mind, so she had to make up those nonsense." Tang Ru kowtowed and stood up after thanking him.

"Hey, my cousin's whereabouts are unknown now, and Tang Jin can't find any trace of him, if you let Miss Cousin live here, sooner or later this matter will be a gang." Tang Xu looked at Tang Ru's performance just now, as if he had made up his mind to keep Xiao Cui, so he had the courage to say this, and he also wanted to know what Tang Ru's back hand was, and why did she dare to leave someone behind.

"But if Miss Biao leaves without looking for someone, she will definitely hate the master for losing someone, and spreading it will also damage the master's reputation." Tang Ru seemed to know that Tang Xu would say this, and immediately answered.

“。。。” Tang Xu was a little dumbfounded, he wasn't afraid that his reputation would be damaged, it was originally fake. It's just that Tang Ru's determined appearance made him even more suspicious, and he was also a little worried about whether he had done something wrong to let Xiaocui enter the mansion, Tang Ru's identity and origin were already very problematic, could it be that she wanted to take Xiaocui as a hostage?

"Go get Tang Jin." Tang Xu suddenly remembered his original role. Tang Ru was stunned for a moment, and then turned around and went out.

"Master, the villain is not effective in finding the young master, and he deserves death." Tang Jin came immediately, didn't say a word, knelt down and kowtowed to Tang Xu a few times.

"What's the use of talking about that now? It's important to find someone, and if you can't find someone, you don't have to come back to see me. Tang Xu reprimanded, thinking that it seemed that Tang Ru had told him everything, and it was okay, the more this way, the deeper Xiao Cui's identity would be hidden. After waiting for a long time, I can probably make up the news that the young master has married and had children elsewhere, and I can probably send it away.

"You have to take good care of Miss Cousin, don't leak the news about Young Master Cousin." After Tang Jin left, Tang Xu instructed Tang Ru again.

"Don't worry, sir, I will." Tang Ru replied respectfully.
