But there was one thing he was very curious about, why did Lin Chong disappear suddenly and disappear without a trace?

"Send someone to check, have you found out?"

"Returning to Gongzi, since that night, Lin Chong has disappeared out of thin air like that ghost, and no one has found him."

"It's weird..."

However, Xu Tao didn't want too much at this time, he went to Liu Nianqing's painting boat at the moment, he couldn't wait a little, he had long coveted Liu Nianqing's beauty, and he was afraid that he would spend time in that painting boat tonight, and he was excited when he thought about it.

"It's been a lot of good things lately..."

"yes, Childe..."

Xu Gongzi went out with a few subordinates, and after getting into the carriage, he headed towards the West Lake, and arrived at the ferry after about a tea time.

When getting on the boat, the maid Xiaohuan said: "Young Master Xu, the young lady has ordered, you can get on the boat alone, and the rest of the people will be inconvenient to come up..."

"Oh", Xu Tao hurriedly said: "Of course, of course." When he said this, he had a peach color on his face, thinking that Liu Nianqing was shy, afraid that he would be listened to when something happened to the two.

"You find a place...... Got it? Xu Tao said to his subordinates.

Hearing this, those subordinates showed the appearance of "understand...", and left together with a smile, where else could that direction be if it wasn't Qinglou?

Lu Xiaoyu sneered in the back, and said in his heart that he would not be castrated later, and he would know that he was not a good person at a glance.

The maid led Xu Tao to the attic, Liu Nianqing had already poured a glass of wine, and when she saw Xu Tao coming, she quickly got up and said, "The little woman has seen Xu Gongzi." ”

Xu Tao returned the salute, Liu Nianqing motioned for Xu Tao to sit down, she raised her wine glass and sent it to him, and said: "I invited Gongzi to come this time, just to thank Gongzi for his support and care over the years..."

Seeing Xu Tao take the wine glass, Liu Nianqing said, "Please drink this glass of wine..."

Xu Tao's eyes lit up, Liu Nianqing deliberately dressed up tonight, and her body glowed with the power of charm, plus she was not young now, and the young woman's temperament was looming, which made Xu Tao's heart dry, and he couldn't wait to plunge into Liu Nianqing's arms and enjoy a soft and fragrant warm jade.

Xu Tao drank it all and said, "Miss Liu is just to thank me?" ”

"yes......"

Seeing Liu Nianqing's crisp answer, Xu Tao frowned, could it be that she really just wanted to thank herself, and she didn't have the idea of marrying herself? So he asked, "Is it really just to thank me, that's all?" ”

"yes..."

The same answer made Xu Tao a little cold. This was too different from what he thought, and he was a little stunned for a while, but he quickly came back to his senses, and said with a gentleman's frank appearance: "My fair lady, the gentleman is good... It is an honor for a woman like Miss Nian Qing to have the opportunity to give support. ”

There is nothing wrong with what Xu Tao said, if an ordinary woman listens to it, she will definitely be conquered by him, but Liu Nianqing is not an ordinary person, her mate selection conditions are relatively high, Xu Tao She still can't look down on him, but today she came with a task, and she is bound to explore some useful information, so she has to be pampered in front of him. said: "Could it be that the prince still thinks that Nianqing invited you over for other reasons?" ”

Xu Tao wanted to say that he thought that you had figured out that you wanted to marry me as a concubine, but after thinking about it, what he said was too subtle, so he said: "I thought that Miss invited me to talk about poetry and painting." ”

Liu Nianqing "giggled" and laughed, this laughter was like a heavenly sound, which made Xu Tao salivate, she said: "Childe can't help but think too much, there are just you and me on this painting boat, is it a bit of a waste of the beautiful scenery above the West Lake to just talk about poetry and paint?" According to the little woman's words, it should be about love! ”

When Liu Nianqing said this, Xu Tao swallowed a mouthful of salt water and was overjoyed, thinking that Liu Nianqing was just bluffing herself before coming here, she really figured out that she wanted to marry him. Xu Tao said with a smile on his face: "Miss Nianqing, why do you say this?" ”

"Childe, what do you say?" Liu Nianqing raised her eyebrows and winked. Xu Tao, who watched it, seemed to have lost his soul, and said excitedly: "Miss Nianqing wants to be my concubine?" ”

Liu Nianqing chuckled lightly and did not answer.

"Miss Nianqing, say it quickly..."

Xu Tao looked at Liu Nianqing with a look of expectation, and when Liu Nianqing agreed, he immediately hugged her into his arms and cooked raw rice.

"But the little woman is a Hongchen woman after all, I'm afraid that she can't climb high, the son's family has a big business, and he is powerful in this Hangzhou city, I heard that the Chen Mansion has now been destroyed by you, and it is rumored in the market that the son has a bad character, and he is not a person worthy of entrusting for life."

Hearing this, Xu Tao's body was shocked, and the arson of the Chen Mansion was indeed done by him, and he also hired a master to assassinate the arsonist. But he did this secretly, how could anyone know that he did it? I saw that his face suddenly sank, and he said, "Where did you hear this?" ”

Seeing that Xu Tao's face changed suddenly at this moment, Liu Nianqing showed a delicate color and said: "Thanks to the support of the son over the years, the little woman is very concerned about the matter of the son, yesterday I heard rumors in the market that the son sent someone to burn the Chenfu dyeing workshop, and immediately thought that the son was by no means that kind of person, so today I invited the son to come and ask if this matter is true or false." If it was really Gongzi's doing, Nianqing would never dare to hand over his body to Gongzi. ”

After listening to Liu Nianqing's account, Xu Tao's face softened slightly, but she didn't expect her to be so attentive to herself, afraid that her character would be bad, afraid of marrying the wrong person, so she wanted to confront herself face to face. But what's the use of such a confrontation? Xu Tao would not be stupid enough to admit that he instructed the matter, but he said with a serious face: "How can I be that kind of person?" Although the Chen Mansion is the biggest competitor of my Xu family in this Hangzhou city, I am not going to use such despicable means..."

Hearing this, Liu Nianqing breathed a sigh of relief, as if a stone had landed in her heart, and the emotions on her face were just right, no more, no less. Lu Xiaoyu, who watched this scene in a secret place, couldn't help but feel that Liu Nianqing's acting skills were outstanding, if he went to modern filming, he might become a generation of actresses.

"Miss Nianqing, please rest assured, Xu is sincere to you, and I can guarantee that as long as Miss is willing to marry me, I will make you happy for the rest of my life."

Liu Nianqing showed a smile on her face, but after a moment, she showed sorrow and said, "I'm afraid it won't be as the son wants?" ”

Hearing this, Xu Tao's face sank and said, "Why? ”

Liu Nianqing looked at him, revealing a grievance and said: "Childe doesn't know, in recent days, there have always been wicked people harassing, and every night when he arrives, he will come downstairs to me, do you know what he said?" ”

"What did you say?" Xu Tao asked.

"He said, sooner or later, he will take my body..."

As soon as these words came out, Xu Tao understood, thinking that Lin Chong still went to Liu Nianqing's harassment every night, but why did the subordinates say that Lin Chong had already lost contact, could it be that he was deceived?
