Under the eaves of the doorway, two lanterns are hung, and the lights shine brightly on the front of the stairs.

But Chi Changting stood on the stone steps, his back clinging to the threshold and the hidden door, and he was slender, and his face happened to be obscured by the shadow of the lintel.

Looking at the past from Chi Tang's point of view, she felt that his face was cold, and the pair of eyes hidden in the dark made her feel so weak that she broke out in a cold sweat.

"Daddy, when did you come?" Chi Tang asked in fear.

How much did he, he, how much did he see?

"Just here—" he said lightly, "Dongmang said you went out over the wall, come and have a look." ”

Chi Tang wanted to bury his head in the ground.

Yan Shu glanced at her and stepped forward to salute: "Mr. Chi." ”

Chi Changting let out a "hmm" and said softly: "It's cold outside, let's go in first!" As he spoke, he turned sideways and stepped out of the door.

Chi Tang lowered his head and took Yan Shu's hand and walked in, not daring to leave the slightest bit of eye wind to someone behind him.

When he walked past his father, Chi Tang couldn't help but sneak a glance at him.

"What are you looking at?" He smiled, "Why don't you take Ash in?" The sweet soup is already served! ”

Chi Tang was relieved to see that he was smiling normally.

After crossing the threshold and taking two steps, I realized that something was wrong.

He turned around and asked, "Daddy, aren't you coming in?" ”

Chi Changting said: "You go in first, and I will say a few words to His Highness." ”

Chi Tang answered, pulled Yan Shu and ran away.

Chi Changting looked at it and smiled, turned around, went down the steps, and slowly walked towards Li Yan.

Li Yan looked at him quietly.

When he walked five steps away, Chi Changting's footsteps froze, the smile on his face suddenly closed, and in an instant, his figure flashed.

Li Yan stood motionless.

Chi Changting's hand finally stopped in front of Li Yan's throat, clenched into a sharp gesture, and his fingertips almost touched his skin.

The gentle smile on his face was gone, and there was an awe-inspiring look in his eyes.

"Don't think that if you are the crown prince, I will not dare to touch you." He said coldly, "In the position of the prince, there are people who want to sit. ”

Li Yan let out an "um" and looked unmoved.

Chi Changting slowly withdrew his hand, turned his back to his back, and looked at him coldly: "Your Highness, doesn't you have anything to explain to Weichen?" ”

……

Chi Tang was very curious about what his father said to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince outside, but he didn't dare to eavesdrop on her ten thousand guts, and he didn't even dare to ask after his father came back.

But looking at Daddy's normal expression, he shouldn't have seen anything, probably just chatted with His Royal Highness the Prince?

Right! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have something important to come out to discuss with his father, or why don't you stay in the palace for the New Year? She didn't die of illness as soon as she did in her previous life?

It must be so! He must have come to find Daddy!

Since there is something serious, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should not be boring enough to sue her, right?

In fact, Chi Tang couldn't remember the whole process a little, especially after taking a nap in the afternoon, and only vaguely remembered some chaotic blushing clips, as if it was her...... Well...... Drunk and lightened His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......

"Why are you so red?" Yan Shu asked in surprise.

Chi Tang hurriedly covered his face: "The charcoal in the house is too burning, and it is ...... hot"

The painting screen was busy dialing the charcoal.

Yan Shu pushed a cup of tea that had just been divided to her, and took another one to the painting screen, holding the last one himself, but he didn't drink it, just looked at it in a daze.

Chi Tang took a sip, secretly raised his eyes to look at her, and wondered how to ask her about it.

Before he could figure it out, the front house sent someone to come, and Chi Changting invited Yan Shu to go.

Yan Shu put down a drop of untouched teacup, pursed his lips and didn't get up, he didn't want to go.

However, although it was invited by the head of the pool, no one could guess that Yan Songyun should be here.

It's impossible not to tell someone else's girl who took in someone else's family.

Chi Changting sent someone to Yan's house last night to deliver the letter, and Yan Songyun should have been around noon.

"Shall I go with you?" Chi Tang persuaded tactfully.

Yan Shu nodded and finally stood up.

When he arrived at Chi Changting's study, Yan Songyun was really there.

Probably because of Yan Shu's running away from home, he looked quite tired, and when he saw Yan Shu, his brows were furrowed, and his expression was a little accusatory, but he didn't speak, after all, he was at someone else's house.

Chi Changting gave up the study to their uncle and nephew to speak, and took his daughter to avoid the side room.

"Sister Yan, what's wrong?" Chi Tang asked.

In fact, what she wanted to ask more was what he said to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince last night, but she really didn't dare to speak, so she still picked another safer question to ask.

"The Yan family wants to propose marriage to her, but she doesn't want to-" Chi Changting replied, not forgetting to teach his daughter as a warning, "You are not allowed to learn from her, and if you don't want to, you have to say it well, how can you run away from home?" How worried is the family? Lao Yan was so anxious that he didn't sleep all night! ”

Chi Tang disagreed: "Last night's New Year's vigil, everyone in the capital didn't sleep all night!" ”

Chi Changting choked for a moment and said, "How is that the same?" He was worried all night, look at his emaciated appearance today! ”

Chi Tang still disagreed: "If I get lost, will my father wait until the afternoon of the next day to pick me up after receiving the news?" ”

Chi Changting was blocked and didn't speak for a long time.

Chi Tang sighed: "Daddy, you don't know, in my previous life, Mr. Yan also put Sister Yan in our house to take care of me, she is the eldest girl of the Yan family, and she was sent to take care of me as an orphan girl, although Mr. Yan is for my good, but he is too wronged Sister Yan!" ”

"Lao Yan asked Ah Shu to take care of you?" Chi Changting was slightly stunned.

Chi Tang nodded and said gloomily: "I always thought that Mr. Yan loved Sister Yan very much, but now it seems that ...... Not biological, after all......"

Chi Changting pondered for a moment and said, "It's not what you think!" ”

Chi Tang looked at him blankly.

Chi Changting said: "Have you heard of Ashu's life experience?" ”

Chi Tang nodded: "Qingluo told me." ”

"I was the one who happened to save her in the first place." Chi Changting explained, "It may be because of this reason that Lao Yan asked Ah Shu to take care of you. ”

Chi Tang nodded in a daze.

Daddy has a life-saving grace for Sister Yan, and Sister Yan is willing to take care of her to repay her kindness, which is also very reasonable, it can't be regarded as Mr. Yan mistreating her.

"But...... It is rumored in Beijing that Sister Yan is frail and sickly? "But Yan Shu is obviously in good health.

Chi Changting shook his head: "This is their own business, Lao Yan didn't say it, and I don't want to ask." ”

Chi Tang nodded silently.

Obviously in good health, but he said to the outside world that he was weak and sickly, and after the death of his parents, he avoided Jiangnan with his uncle, and was commensurate with his adoptive father and daughter, it seems that there are quite a lot of things in the Yan family.

"This time, the Yan family wants to propose marriage to Ashu, and it is the Yin family of Chen County; The Yin family is a scholarly family, and they have intermarried with their Yan family for generations, and the Yin family came to ask to marry Ashu is also a young and promising son in the clan, Lao Yan thinks it is very suitable, but I didn't expect Ashu to react so much. Chi Changting sighed.

Chi Tang shook his head again and again after hearing this: "I think it may be that Mr. Yan's vision is not good, he also took a fancy to Gu Niangzi and Miss Yu at the beginning, and asked me to show my father!" ”

Chi Changting's face suddenly sank.
