Chapter 160: Guilt and Confession
A couple who were destined to not be honest with each other finished their lunch in silence, and I don't know why, no one brought up the previous topic, and even the atmosphere was a lot duller. Even if Hong Fuqiang cheered up and came in a few rounds, Tao Yao and Qi Dai Zhudan were always absent-minded, as if they were thinking about their own affairs. It wasn't until Luo Yi, who had been standing outside and waiting, couldn't look at it anymore, and finally couldn't help coughing lowly, and the man with his head hanging down was like waking up from a dream, and subconsciously looked at the person in the opposite seat.
"I heard from the people below, you often go to a shop in the outer city to look at clothes." Almost speechless, Zhu Dan looked at Tao Yao's low-hanging thick eyelashes, but what she thought of was the news about her mentioned by the people around her. Although he couldn't be by her side all the time, he never missed any details related to her. It's just that even he can't say the reason, why he cares about someone like that, but every time he meets in person, the words he says are always so unpleasant.
In fact, he could have coaxed or perfunctory her. Sweet words in front of women are almost the instinct of every man written in his bones, even if he is facing the Empress Dowager Wulu, he can not hesitate to sweeten his mouth, but when he meets Tao Yao, he can't do it. He could see that the woman would rather accept the cruel truth than hear a beautiful lie. It was not easy for them to get a little closer to each other, and he didn't want to be ruined by these details, so he chose to speak bluntly, which doomed the usual ending to not be so good, and even, the silence was mixed with great embarrassment. But at least, she hasn't kicked herself out or made up her mind to die of old age, which is good.
"Hmm. Their family travels back and forth between Tubo and Datang all the year round, and the goods in the store have a bit of the charm of Shendu and Chang'an, which is really good. Not surprised that he knew his whereabouts, Tao Yao replied as usual, without hiding the nostalgia between his words: "Being in a foreign land, it is inevitable that I will be touched by the old customs, and I will naturally fall into a cliché." Although she goes to Lin Lang every time she goes to do something extra, Tubo is this man's territory after all, plus her identity is already eye-catching, and the slightest wind and grass will inevitably pass into the ears of Zhu Dan in the end, so from the beginning, she didn't think about hiding this relationship.
The most superficial things are often the most insignificant, and she deliberately disguises them slightly, but she leaves enough clues for his people to break. In this way, Zhu Dan thought that he had mastered her secret, and he would not pay much attention to this place that had already been exposed. Speaking of which, he is indeed patient, and the news he knew early on was able to wait until now to confirm with her. I think it was too embarrassing to have the previous conversation, so he wanted to use this topic to find a step for both parties.
"Human nature, what is vulgar." Shaking his head with a chuckle, Zhu Dan continued: "If you want to go again in the future, you can do it at any time, and you don't have to deliberately avoid anything, grandmother won't mind this kind of thing." As for the others," he narrowed his deep and cold eyes, and rarely showed a trace of murder in front of Tao Yao: "You are the queen of my Tubo, here, you and I stand side by side, no one dares to say anything to you!" Therefore, you just have to do whatever you want, even if you are really in trouble, there is still my husband to bear it for you. ”
It is true that those old-school aristocrats in Tubo had a lot of opinions as early as when he was about to marry Tao Yao, not to mention that Tao Yao brought such a huge and rich dowry after marrying. At this moment, those people are simply salivating, and on the other hand, they are trying to use their status as royal elders to forcibly suppress the arrogance of Tao Yao, a foreign princess, and even worse, they are determined to give her a dismount. Fortunately, Tao Yao seems to know the way, since she got married, she has been low-key and powerful, and she basically keeps her door closed, so that those guys who jump up and down can't even find a chance, so there has been no conflict from beginning to end. However, Tao Yao has been targeted by people recently when he goes to the outer city, and there is a faint posture of not letting go if he grabs it, but it really makes him laugh. Could it be that they thought he would help outsiders to bully and suppress his wife?
Feeling the change in his distinct aura, Tao Yao couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, and said thoughtfully: "Listening to my husband's tone, could it be that someone is really eyeing me?" Otherwise, he wouldn't have shown such a side for no reason. However, these Tubo people are really interesting, they can all endure not coming to the door for so long, and now they feel that they have a handle in their hands, so they are ready to provoke them head-on?
"Not really." It was rare to hear her call herself in such a tone, and Zhu Dan couldn't help but sigh, and then replied: "Xenophobia is human nature, and your current identity is too conspicuous, so you will naturally pay a little more attention." "Those guys just want the benefits that Tao Yao brings, and they want the position where she sits, but in the whole world, how can there be such a good thing that can have both fish and bear paws? Thinking about it, he unconsciously added another sentence: "Don't worry, I will take care of it, and I will never let them disturb you." Although this wife is not intimate with him, and can even be said to be contrary to him, the person he chooses will never allow others to question or provoke. Unless one day he could be sure that his heart was not on Tao Yao, he would never let anyone hurt her hair, not even his grandmother.
It seems that this is the compensation for the guilt of oneself in the heart? Tao Yao looked at the person in front of her with interest, and nodded obediently at the moment: "Okay, then it will be troublesome for the husband." Anyway, she never planned to fight with that group of people, and some people were willing to come forward, and she was happy to hide behind and be lazy. It's just that the party in Zhudan Border City seems to be much smoother than she imagined, otherwise, he wouldn't have been in such a good mood to explain so much to himself today. But what kind of deal was reached between Yang Ju and him? She still hasn't figured it out, and she doesn't know if the letter she sent was still in time to stop it before everything happened.
However, if it were that person, perhaps...... It should be reliable, right?
