Chapter 22: Xiaoling, the girl that Tang Hong drove away

Back in the room and lying on the bed, Tang Anxia tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

That girl is petite, and Fang Yan can tell her her whereabouts, she must be the maidservant girl by her side. Listening to the voice and looking at the form, it seems to be her.

Tang Anxia did not debunk it on the spot, on the one hand, he was betrayed by Guiyuan's people, and he was shocked for a while and did not think of a countermeasure.

Moreover, there were only three of them in the flower bush at that time, and if the Tang Dynasty was a gentle slave and maid in an embarrassed manner, they would bite back and slander themselves for 'messing with Li Junqi in the middle of the night', and the gains would outweigh the losses.

On the other hand, it is considered that this betrayal person, who is greedy for money as his life, will inevitably leave a useful place.

In a daze, Tang Anxia heard someone crying, whining......

Opened her eyes with difficulty, Tang Anxia pricked up her ears to listen carefully to the movement outside, the distance was very close, probably under her curtains.

Dragging his tired body, Tang Anxia took a mink brocade cloak and put it on his shoulder, moved to the window, pushed open the blinds, and poked his head out to look down......

The person squatting on the ground raised his little face full of tears, and when he saw Tang Anxia, he was immediately frightened and knelt down and begged for mercy: "Second Miss atonement!" Second Miss Atonement! The slave should be damned, she shouldn't disturb the second lady's rest! ”

Tang Anxia fixed his eyes: "You? Aren't you Xiaoling, the maidservant next to Tang Hong? You don't wait in his grand pavilion, why do you cry when you run to my Guiyuan? ”

Xiaoling practiced kowtowing, and couldn't cry: "The slave and maid should die, the slave and maid will go back......"

"Wait."

Tang Anxia stopped the slave who was about to get up and leave, and said sharply: "That's it, I've been woken up by you, come in and talk." ”

"Yes". Xiaoling wiped a handful of tears.

In the hall of Guiyuan, Tang Anxia put on a pure white lamb fur to keep out the cold, sat on the official hat chair of the main seat, drank a sip of hot tea made by Fang Yan, raised his eyes, looked at the petite girl kneeling on the ground, and said coldly: "Do you have something to look for me?" ”

Xiaoling lowered her head: "The slave doesn't dare." ”

Tang Anxia raised her willow eyebrows: "Don't you dare?" There are many rooms in Guiyuan, and you can find my boudoir accurately, and you can squat in front of my window and cry, it must be to wake me up. If it's really okay, it's my heart. ”

Immediately, Tang Anxia glanced at Fang Yan: "Send her back to Hongge." ”

Fang Yan immediately understood: "Get up, the second young master is seriously ill, you are his maidservant and have to take care of him, hiding here in my young lady will cause people to gossip." ”

When Xiaoling heard this, she hurriedly kowtowed three times: "Second Miss atonement!" The slave maid is really desperate, so she will come up with this method, and she has no intention of deceiving the second lady! ”

Tang Anxia had long expected this result, raised his eyes and glanced at the weak person, and his tone was unhurried: "Tell me, what is going on?" ”

Xiaoling raised her head at this time, and her red and swollen eyes were full of pity from crying: "Second Miss, the old mother in the family is seriously ill, and the younger brothers and sisters are young, and they need silver taels everywhere, so I count on the slave maid to send this little monthly money back to my hometown to help the old and the young." However, when the second young master came back tonight, he wanted to drive me out of the house, and the slave had nowhere to go, so he only begged the second young lady to give me a way to live. ”

Tang Anxia frowned slightly: "You have been following Tang Hong for three or five years, how could he drive you away for no reason?" ”

"Just because ......" Xiaoling wanted to speak and stopped.

Tang Anxia said impatiently: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Xiaoling lowered her eyelids timidly, not daring to look directly at Tang Anxia's bright eyes, and replied in a low voice: "After the second young master came back, he kept abusing the second young lady in his mouth, complaining that you were cold-blooded and ruthless, and that you would not save your brother when he saw death, and cursed you to suffer retribution sooner or later......"

Tang Anxia's face was expressionless: "Go on." ”

Xiaoling looked wronged, and whimpered innocently: "The slave and maid really couldn't listen to it anymore, so she persuaded a few words, saying that 'you are his own sister, blood is thicker than water, don't insult like this', as a result, the second young master was furious, and vented all his grievances against you on the slave and maid, and reprimanded the slave and maid and immediately got out." ”

Tang An Xia Zai listened carefully to Xiaoling's words, there was no sign of deception between her words, and looking at her unfortunate and helpless appearance, a trace of pity suddenly appeared in her heart.

After all, it is a slave who has served Tang Hong for several years, and there are old and young in the family, if they are driven away like this, I am afraid that they will be reduced to the streets.

If you are lucky enough to be picked up by other families as a maidservant, I am afraid that it will tarnish the reputation of the Tang family's big mansion, and even a slave and maid who makes a mistake will not be tolerated.

Tang Anxia thought for a moment, then turned his head and instructed Fang Yan: "Arrange an errand for her to do in Guiyuan." ”

Fang Yan blessed her body: "Yes." ”

Xiaoling was grateful: "Thank you Second Miss, the slave maid will be a cow and a horse in this life, and she will also repay the second lady's great kindness." ”

Tang Anxia didn't say anything, raised her hand, Fang Yan hurriedly helped her, and walked towards the inner room.

After a whole day and night, Tang Anxia was exhausted, lay on the bed and rubbed his drowsy forehead, and asked: "Fang Yan, after you sent Tang Hong back, who did you tell me about accompanying Prince Wen into the palace?" ”

Fang Yan was stunned for a moment, and rolled her eyes: "I didn't tell others, how can the whereabouts of the second miss be exposed casually." When I returned to the house, Yingzi asked, 'Where did the second miss go?', and I replied, 'Prince Wen entered the palace to face the saint', and also told her not to tell others, not to harm the second miss, others don't know. ”

Tang Anxia closed her eyes and sighed softly: "Yingzi?" If it's really her, her voice and body look like her, I just can't believe it's really her, so I'll look for you for sure...... I can be ruthless. ”

Fang Yan heard it in a fog, and her little face was full of puzzlement: "Second Miss, did Yingzi make any mistakes?" Does it upset you? ”

Tang Anxia barely squeezed out a smile: "How come?" Don't mention to Yingzi what I asked you, she is smart and clever, and she is very good at reading words and feelings, and figuring out her thoughts. Unlike you, you are loyal to me, but unfortunately you can't calculate, and you don't please people. ”

When Fang Yan heard this, she pursed her lips and rolled her eyes unhappily: "It's enough for the slave maid to have a second miss, there is no need to please people, as long as the second miss is happy, the slave and maid will be satisfied." ”

A warmth rose in Tang Anxia's heart, fortunately, the person who betrayed was not Fang Yan.

Thinking that Xiaoling was still kneeling outside the hall and waiting for the arrangement, he pondered: "We Guiyuan are not short of manpower, she is Tang Hong's person, she can't enter the house to serve, let her prune the flowers in the yard, the monthly money is as much as when she was in Hongge, and I can be regarded as helping her once." ”

"The slave understands, so take her down, and the second lady has a good rest."

The next day, Tang Anxia slept until noon before getting up lazily.

She was really tired, thinking back to what happened yesterday, she met Princess Yue and the emperor in turn, first accompanied Tang Hong, and then helped Li Junqi, and when she came back, she bumped into Yingzi and Tang Dairou, and dealt with Xiaoling's errand in the middle of the night.

At the moment, Li Junqi's safety is temporarily ensured, but this time, the emperor realized Li Junqi's sudden change, and he will not let him go easily, and he will inevitably find an opportunity to eradicate the entire Prince Wen's mansion.

Don't......

A thought suddenly popped up in Tang Anxia's mind - does it have to change the dynasty in order to keep her Junqi?
