Chapter Fifty-Nine: Returning at Night
Cheng Huai sat on the chair, watched Tong Yan stretch out her hand and sit in a posture of invitation, and said, "County Lord, please take a seat." ”
Tong Yan smiled at him and sat on another chair, separated from Cheng Huai.
There were two cups of tea on the square table, Cheng Huai casually picked up the cup in his hand, put it to his lips and tasted it, raised his eyebrows and said: "This tea is quite good, the county lord might as well taste it." ”
Tong Yan took her hand to serve it, but she didn't expect the tea to be hot, it seems that when they came in, the person who delivered the tea had just left.
Seeing Tong Yan sip the tea, Cheng Huai smiled: "How?" ”
The bitter taste in the mouth is mellow, and there is endless sweetness and freshness left between the lips and teeth after swallowing, like a clear spring in the forest, although Tong Yan does not understand tea, she also knows that this is indeed good tea.
She nodded and echoed, "Good tea, good tea." ”
Cheng Huai smiled silently.
The room was quiet for a moment, and there was an air of embarrassment.
Tong Yan sat dry for a while, very depressed,
Is she going to sit here all the time and wait? How long will it take? Can't you go and see how it's going?
She couldn't help but sneak a glance at Cheng Huai, but found that he had his fingers crossed in front of him, and the whole person was leaning on the back of the chair, his eyes were closed, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and he didn't know if he was asleep.
Yun Xiang also stood motionless behind her like a wood carving, not even rolling her eyes.
Tong Yan sighed, stood up boredly, and walked to the window.
She pushed open the window, the breeze was blowing, it was very refreshing, she looked at the darkness outside, only the bright moon in the sky, bright and bright, can bring a touch of light to the dark night.
"Do you like the night?" Cheng Huai's deep voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
"Huh?" She turned her head sideways and found that Cheng Huai had walked to her side unconsciously, looking at the sky outside the window with a pair of bright eyes.
Tong Yan smiled indifferently, "You can't talk about liking or hating, right?" ”
Cheng Huai nodded, which was considered to be in agreement, and said: "It's just that sometimes at night, a person will feel very lonely." ”
Tong Yan nodded frequently in disapproval, "Yes, no one talked to me just now, I felt so lonely, when I was in the house at night, there were many people with me, and I never felt lonely." ”
and the time when her adoptive mother died, not only loneliness, but also despair, which was really difficult.
"Xue Chengcai's matter, you don't have to bother, I've arranged it." Cheng Huai coldly changed the topic again, "Otherwise, I'll send you back to the palace directly, it's late at night." ”
In fact, he didn't plan to bring her tonight, it was a trivial matter, and it would be a burden to take her with him. But when he saw her hiding in the corner of the back door in men's clothes, looking at him with a surprised face, he couldn't refuse her, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with taking her with him, so he just walked around.
But when Xue Chengcai was thrown out in disheveled clothes, he didn't want her to see it, such an unsightly ugly appearance stained her eyes.
Tong Yan didn't know what he was thinking, and said anxiously: "No, no, no, I have to wait for him to be unconscious, beat him, and then throw him out!" ”
Cheng Huai chuckled: "It will be done according to your requirements, and when you wake up tomorrow morning, you will hear even the little maids in the house talking about Xue Chengcai's laughing stock." ”
Then she also asked Daddy what kind of person he wanted who knew martial arts, and asked for two cumbersome people for nothing, and she didn't need to do it together?
Tong Yan felt that she had wasted half of her energy, so she lit a squib.
It's better to talk to him more, delay the time, and say that after a long time, the time has passed, and you can wait for the result with your own eyes.
Her eyes lit up, and she interrupted: "Is the relationship between Cheng Shizi and Zhao Shizi very good?" ”
Cheng Huai was stunned for a moment and pondered: "We have grown up together since childhood, so it can be regarded as a small relationship." ”
"Oh." Tong Yan nodded and said tentatively: "Then, do you know why I handed the letter to Zhao Shizi?" ”
It stands to reason that she has nothing to do with Zhao Heng, and the correspondence between men and women is already suspicious, but Cheng Huai is nothing unusual, so it can be seen that he must know something.
"He's your cousin." Cheng Huai confirmed.
"How do you know? What did Zhao Heng say? Tong Yan was surprised, the Queen Mother had also told her not to let her say that the Pingyang Hou Mansion was her foreign home.
It was indeed Zhao Heng who told him that it was true, he didn't expect Tong Yan to react so much, and he was puzzled: "Yes, what's wrong?" ”
"So, what did he tell you?" Tong Yan remembered that the Queen Mother said that this was the privacy of the previous generation and did not let her inquire, so she wondered, did this Zhao Heng know?
"Zhao Heng said, his aunt is your mother, she died a long time ago, and you are cousins." Cheng Huai looked at Tong Yan inexplicably.
It's as simple as that? Tong Yan asked unrelentingly: "That's it, gone?" What didn't he tell you? ”
Cheng Huai laughed, "Then what else, why don't you add more?" ”
Tong Yan looked at him suspiciously, did Zhao Heng say it, but he pretended not to say it, he was lying to her?
Cheng Huai looked at her suspicious eyes and said with a smile: "He really said these words." ”
"Okay." Tong Yan withdrew her eyes wryly, and told again: "Keep it a secret." ”
Cheng Huai didn't know why, but he still nodded in response.
It seems that she still has to visit the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and she has the right to know about her mother.
Just now, she was thinking about delaying time, but she would forget about it again, just thinking about Zhao Rou.
It is estimated that after waiting for another stick of incense, Xue Chengcai will be thrown on the street.
Cheng Huai urged: "It's not early, I'll send you home." ”
Tong Yan was reluctant to give up, pouting reluctantly.
"It's too late, the garrison of the palace will be even tighter, and if it is discovered, it will be difficult to do." Cheng Huai added a fire.
What he said also made sense, Tong Yan nodded, "Okay, that woman, you still trouble the prince to send me back, okay?" ”
Cheng Huai breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's nature." ”
The three of them went downstairs according to the original way, Cheng Huai rode a horse, Xiangyun served Tong Yan in the carriage, and turned back to the back door of the palace.
This time, the carriage went around and went directly to the west of the back door.
Tong Yan got out of the carriage and was a little scared, there was silence in the house, and there was silence on the street, dark and scary.
She shuddered.
Cheng Huai got off the horse, walked to her side, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get in from?" ”
Tong Yan pointed to the side of the guide, and also lowered her voice and said, "I want to go all the way to my yard from the westernmost mezzanine, and then climb over the wall to enter." ”
Cheng Huai nodded, "Then let's go." So saying, he walked to the west side.
Is he going to send himself there?
Great, Tong Yan was a little scared, but with Cheng Huai following, it was much better now.
"What's wrong?" He asked, looking back.
"Nope." Tong Yan happily hurriedly followed, followed by Xiangyun.
