Without hesitation, Duran raised his foot and kicked it in his soft spot.

"Whew!" With a scream, Xu Heming went straight down, and Duran hurriedly rolled and dodged, only to hear a pop behind him.

She quickly stood up, and saw Xu Heming crumbling in pain on the ground.

Almost taken advantage of by this scoundrel, Duran was so angry that he raised his foot and kicked him in the back a few more times before he relieved his hatred.

Xu Heming howled in pain, and he felt that his internal organs were kicked and shattered.

"Just a scumbag like you, my sister will beat you once you see it! Hum! Glaring at him coldly, Duran stepped out of him with his foot.

Gu Youan came back after shopping, but he didn't see Du Lan, so he immediately panicked, and the big brother who sold tofu told him that Du Lan was invited away by the Xu Mansion.

He frowned, faintly worried in his heart, the Xu Mansion was a rich and noble family, why would he invite Duran away?

Without thinking too much, he loaded the basket, pushed the cart and hurried to Xu's mansion.

In Xu's Mansion, the people in the dining hall presented the food, Chen Jingting couldn't help but sniff it, squinted his eyes and reveled: "This smell is so fragrant, my saliva is about to flow out." Shengjing's chefs don't make it so fragrant, let me taste it. ”

Xue Yan smiled and shook his head: "Jingting, you usually don't look like someone who has never seen the world, why did you get to Xu Mansion and embarrass me?" Look at your gluttonous appearance, as if you haven't eaten a good meal in ten or eight years. ”

"Hahaha! Brother Jingting is giving me Xu Hening face, so I made this exaggerated expression, I am very honored. ”

Xue Yan smiled and nodded, his brother really likes to make friends with people in a humorous way.

Chen Jingting took a bite and nodded constantly, "Don't patronize and talk, this dish is so delicious, try it." ”

Xue Yan glanced at him, and the more he said, the more he went too far, "Jingting, in the end, are you the host or the guest, you really don't see the outside." ”

"Really, you can taste it, I don't know how many times better than the taste made by the first chef in Shengjing." Chen Jingting said with a serious face.

It doesn't look like he's joking, Shengjing is the capital of Cangli Kingdom, and the cooks there are all famous. Xue Yan and Xu Hening picked up the chopsticks suspiciously and tasted them, and immediately nodded with satisfaction.

Xue Yan couldn't help but praise: "This cook's cooking skills are indeed extraordinary. ”

Xu Hening glanced at the big housekeeper appreciatively, this time he entertained the two sons from Sheng Jing, and the cook he invited really gave him the face of the head of the Xu Mansion. At this moment, someone from outside the door came to report that there was a son outside the house who asked to see him.

Xu Hening immediately smiled and asked, "Did he say anything?" ”

"Back to the eldest son, the man said that he was looking for his wife."

"Lady?" His inquiring eyes fell on the housekeeper beside him, as the eldest son of the Xu Mansion, he knew everything about the affairs of the house, the maids were not married, they were all old mothers, but the one outside the door was a son.

The butler's eyes rolled, and he immediately frowned, leaned over to the eldest prince's ear, and guessed, "Isn't it the cook invited today?" ”

"Huh? Aren't you sure about the people you invited? Xu Hening stared at him closely.

The housekeeper leaned forward, lowered his eyebrows and said, "The cook girl is dressed as a man, and the old slave really didn't see it." ”

Xu Hening's face changed suddenly after hearing this, and he immediately exclaimed to the two guests: "It's not good, don't eat it." ”

"What's wrong?" Xue Yan and Chen Jingting raised their heads in shock.

"Baoqing, where did you find the cook? Have you seen it before? He asked nervously.

Seeing his serious expression, the butler's heart suddenly rose to his throat, and he was shocked into a cold sweat when he thought about it, he often sent wine to the restaurant, and never saw the girl appear there.

Today, there was a distinguished guest in the house, and the girl happened to appear next to him, and she must have inquired about the situation in the Xu Mansion in advance, and she also knew that the second son didn't like to eat recently, so she came up with a strange trick to make a sweet and sour fish to attract his attention.

Coincidentally, her basket was all incomplete, and it is conceivable that she deliberately made some rotten fish and pretended to be a fish seller.

The most important thing is, why is she a girl disguised as a man?

"Hurry up and get her, lest she run away." Xu Hening commanded eagerly.

Then he said to the keeper of the door: "Go, bring the people in, I want to see what tricks they play." ”

After ordering this, he stared at Xue Yan and Chen Jingting nervously, "Do you feel unwell?" ”

Xue Yan and Chen Jingting shook their heads, they didn't feel anything, but Xu Hening's reaction was too strong.

Seeing that there was nothing wrong with them, Xu Hening immediately ordered someone to find a doctor, but Xue Yan stopped him loudly: "Brother Hening, don't make too much of a fuss, we are out all the year round, and we are naturally proficient in self-defense, and we also have a little research on medical skills, so there should be no problem with this dish, don't worry too much." ”

When they said so themselves, Xu Hening was also slightly relieved.

After a cup of tea, the family brought Gu Youan in.

The moment they saw Gu Youan, Xue Yan and Chen Jingting couldn't help but be stunned, he looked very much like King Shuo, could he be the son that King Shuo was looking for?

Xu Hening noticed the strangeness of Xue Yan and Chen Jingting, and immediately frowned, did they know the man in front of them?

He secretly looked at Gu You'an, coarse cloth clothes, pale face, and the two distinguished guests were businessmen from Shengjing, with strong financial resources, so they shouldn't know him.

As soon as Gu Youan came in, he arched his hand towards the master's house, "I don't know why my lady was taken away by the people of your mansion, I am really worried, and I ask my son to let my lady go home." ”

Xu Hening said calmly: "Don't worry, son, I will bring your lady later, and after asking some questions, I will naturally let you go home." ”

Ask something?

He wondered in his heart, could it be that Duran had something to do with the Xu Mansion? He glanced at everyone in the room, and noticed that the two people at the table were staring at him with strange eyes, and immediately became a little angry.

"Dare to ask my lady if she offended the people in the house?" He asked with a solemn face.

Xue Yan stood up and said with a smile: "No, no, Master Xu just thinks that the dishes made by your lady are delicious, so I just want to reward her." ”

Chen Jingting also stood up and smiled at him with a friendly smile: "Don't be nervous, this son, your lady will be here later." ”

It turned out that they had just asked Duran to cook, causing him to worry about him in vain.

Xu Hening has been in the crowd all year round, and he can see at a glance that Xue Yan and Chen Jingting have an extraordinary attitude towards Gu Youan, and even a little too modest, so he politely invited Gu Youan to take a seat.

Gu Youan thanked him, and then sat on the side seat and waited for Duran.

Xue Yan's inquiring gaze hit Gu You'an, "Look at the son's pale face and unsteady breath, is the son sick?" ”

Gu You'an looked stunned and nodded to Xue Yan.

Xue Yan glanced at Chen Jingting quietly, only to see him looking at Gu Youan in dismay, thinking that it should be right.

"Didn't the son's family take you to see the doctor? You are young, you should adjust your body as soon as possible. Xue Yan said kindly.

Gu Youan's face flashed with shame, "Thank you for your kindness, my grandfather is old, I'd better honor my grandfather first." ”

Grandfather? Xue Yan's eyes turned lightly, could it be the prince's personal guard back then?

"Then your grandfather ......"

As soon as he asked, Duran stepped in.

With an angry look on her face, she clasped her arms and shouted, "Call your head out." ”

Gu Youxin tightened and immediately stood up, "Lady, what's wrong?" ”

Duran turned his head, "Why are you here?" What about carts and baskets? ”

"Stopped outside the door of Xu's mansion, are you arguing with someone?" He looked at Duran in surprise and asked worriedly.

Xu Hening saw that this lady was angry, and immediately frowned suspiciously, "This ...... What happened to the little lady? ”

Du Lan looked at Xu Hening fixedly, and when he saw that he was richly dressed and had a calm temperament, he guessed that he should be the eldest prince of the Xu Mansion.

"What's the matter? The second son of your house deceived me, and he actually wanted to insult me, hum! It's a shame that I will have some punches and kicks, if I change to another girl, won't he be trampled in vain. Seeing that your Xu Mansion is magnificent on the surface, I didn't expect that the masters are all shameless people. Give me my salary now, lest I stay in the Xu Mansion any longer and impulsively kill people for a while. Duran gritted his teeth angrily.

Xu Hening frowned when he heard this, Heming, this kid made a mistake again, he must tell his father afterwards and let him take care of his younger brother.

"This little lady, my brother is stubborn by nature and offensive, please bear with me, I will definitely teach him a good lesson when I go back, and this silver should be given to you as a comfort fee." As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket from his waist.

Duran glared at him viciously, looking at the other person's appearance, it turned out that he was just blindly partial, hum! The Xu family really didn't have good goods.

"Damn, is this something that silver can solve?" She was angry and unrelenting.

"Yes, what the little lady said is very true, I will compensate you on his behalf, and I will strictly control it in the future." Xu Hening looked sincere.

Gu Youan heard that she was almost taken advantage of, and her face immediately became gloomy, "Master Xu, why are you doing this to set the law?" ”

Knowing that the young master's lady was almost abused by Xu Ergongzi, Xue Yan also felt a trace of displeasure in his heart, he pulled his face and said: "Brother Hening, your brother should really take care of it, the lady of the other family was kindly invited by you to cook, how can you hit the idea on the head of others?" This is just too much. ”

Xu Hening didn't expect Xue Yan to blame himself for them, and he became more and more suspicious that they should know each other, since they were all friends, he should pay for it.

"Little lady, don't worry, I, the eldest brother, will not spare him easily, this hundred taels of silver is compensation, if it really doesn't work, just wait for my father to come back and clean him up."

The atmosphere was stiff, and Chen Jingting stood up at the right time to persuade peace: "I see that the little lady is heroic and sassy, and her momentum is like a rainbow, presumably the second son has not taken advantage of it, there is a way not to fight and not to know each other, this is also a fate, everyone will take a step back and make friends." ”

Xu Hening glanced at him gratefully, "Yes, Brother Jingting is reasonable, we will get acquainted from now on, if there is any difficulty between Gu Gongzi and the little lady in the future, come directly to Xu Mansion to find me, I will do my best to help." ”

Du Lan carefully looked at Xue Yan and Chen Jingting, who were helping her speak, and saw that they were righteous and reasonable, and the anger in her heart subsided slightly.

Seeing that Xu Hening had a kind face and a dignified appearance, he was diametrically opposed to the angry brother, thinking that in the future, it would be better to sell him a favor, and it would be easier to find him to do things in the future.

"You said that, and all who were present were witnesses." Duran kidnapped Xu Hening with favors.

"Little lady, don't worry, I have been friends with Brother Xue Yan and Brother Jingting for many years, and they know who I am." Seeing that Duran was finally willing to let go, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Duran, how can you give up so easily?" Gu Youan looked at her in disbelief, she was unforgiving in the Gu family, how could she easily bypass them if she suffered such a big loss today?

Could it be that Duran is also a snob who forgets his righteousness?

"I'll talk about it later." She winked at him, motioning him not to worry.
