Chapter 14: Clever and tight

Isn't this the place where there are no three hundred taels of silver?

Tang Meng was attacked only a few days ago, and this matter has been silent, and today Tang Chengen sent someone to the door, and this purpose is too obvious.

Tang Chengen is naturally not a fool if he can be the right minister.

Not only is it not stupid to let Gu come to the door, but it is also very smart.

With Tang Chengen's strength, he naturally couldn't compete with Duan Jingyi, and presumably the little clues left by the killer had already been mastered by the secret guards.

So now that Duan Jingyi already knows the truth, Tang Chengen might as well come to the door automatically.

On the one hand, it is necessary to explore whether Duan Jingyi wants to punish himself.

On the other hand, he wanted to let the uninformed Tang Meng say good things for himself by playing the family card.

The most important point is that no matter what Duan Jingyi thinks, now that Tang Chengen has sent someone to give gifts, it is the performance of a loving father, if one day someone really accuses him of being the mastermind behind the scenes, it must be framed!

No matter what the truth of the matter is, Tang Meng is fine, Tang Chengen has the cheekiness to act like this again, and he concludes that Duan Jingyi will not pursue this matter anymore.

Tang Meng unconsciously sneered after understanding this.

When facing the right, there are a lot of cleverness.

Tang Meng played with the teacup in his hand, this account was written down for Tang Chengen, and sooner or later he would make this old thing suffer a big loss.

"Meng'er, Meng'er?"

Tang Meng came back to his senses, "Erniang, you said." ”

Gu Shi smiled and took out a soft bag from his arms, and after opening it layer by layer, there were six or seven pieces of jewelry lying inside.

"What is this?"

"These jewels were deducted from your dowry by the eldest lady back then, and when I went to the account office today to ask for a gift, I saw it and brought it to you, so that the thing was returned to its original owner."

Tang Meng's eyes lit up, the gifts that the Gu family gave to the palace today were basically large in size and quantity, only this one was exquisite and valuable.

Cheng, an old fox, even dared to withhold the dowry to the palace, she didn't care about Tang Meng's life or death at all.

Tang Meng smiled and said thank you, his face was not angry or happy, which made the Gu family a little unpredictable for a while.

originally thought that Tang Meng would be angry and punish Cheng with his current favor, but now he obviously did not fulfill Gu's wish.

Gu didn't get a bargain, and said a few more polite words before leaving.

As soon as I got up and went to the door, an old woman walked in from outside the courtyard.

"I have seen the princess, I have seen the second lady, and the prince instructed the slave and maid to prepare a few snacks for the second lady to take back."

"Thank you Lord Wang, the dim sum of King Yi's Mansion must be of the highest quality, the prince loves you so much, Meng'er you are really blessed."

Tang Meng was a little confused, seeing that Gu was so excited, she also hung up her professional smirk, "Yes, take it back to Daddy to taste." ”

When the dim sum was delivered to them, let alone the Gu family, even Tang Meng was dumbfounded.

Not to mention how delicate the dim sum is, the box that decorates the dim sum alone is anything but unusual.

Carved double-layer box in rosewood with gold wire strokes and jade handles......

There are four identical boxes, Tang Meng really wants to roar from the bottom of his heart, local tyrant!

One more shout: Loser!

Now I can see that Gu Shi is really happy, it is completely different from the fake smile just now, it is simply a light in the eyes.

Gu Shi saluted and asked his subordinates to take the box and leave, leaving Tang Meng in distress to death.

Such a good thing is cheap for nothing, her white-eyed wolf father.

Tang Meng turned around and went back to the room in distress, and a figure in front of her startled her.

"Why are you here!"

Duan Jingyi sat peacefully at the table, as if he had never left, and picked up a book on the corner of the table again.

Tang dreamed that he was angry, and his hands were on his hips, like a housewife who was distressed about money.

"I said Lord Wang, do you know how much that box is worth, even the Lord can't be so lavish, just give one, how can you give four so much."

Duan Jingyi raised his eyebrows, feeling that what he said was reasonable, but he didn't have the slightest intention of correcting it.

He poured himself a cup of tea without raising his eyes, "So I want you to pay it back." ”

"Still?" Tang Meng instantly exploded, "Why do you want me to pay it back!" ”

"You already know who was trying to kill you that day, right?"

Tang Meng was dumbfounded.

Duan Jingyi continued to speak, "If you weren't my princess, Tang Chengen would continue to kill two or three more times until you died, so being an honest princess by my side is the only choice for you to save your life." ”

It sounds a little reasonable, "But what does this have to do with paying back?" ”

"If you are a favored princess, Tang Chengen will not dare to act rashly in the future, but if you are an unfavored princess, he still dares to use intrigues and tricks, three years ago was the best example."

"So...... The more valuable you give, the more favored I am? ”

Duan Jingyi was very satisfied with Tang Meng's realization.

"That, that's not going to work either!" She can't afford to pay back the four boxes just now, "You didn't discuss it with me in advance, it doesn't count, and I don't have any money." ”

Duan Jingyi looked at the table, "Jewelry is fine." ”

Tang Meng hugged the jewelry bag tightly, "This is not good, this is mine!" ”

"No way?" Duan Jingyi raised his eyebrows, "Isn't the jewelry in the palace enough for you to wear?" ”

"It's different, those are yours, and you can't take them and sell them for money."

"Sell for money?" Duan Jingyi raised his eyebrows, overflowing with a hint of danger.
