Everyone chatted and chatted, and then left the matter of the man in white behind, and no one mentioned it again until the meal was over.

However, as the crowd was about to leave, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, as if it was played to cheer them up.

Tang Tang lowered his head, his eyes slightly reddened.

Song Xingchen saw it in his eyes, and only sighed slightly, afraid that the other party's identity was not suitable for being the son-in-law of the Tang family, otherwise with Tang Tang's character, he would never give up his happiness.

As for the possibility that the goddess has the heart of King Wumeng, Song Xingchen didn't even think about it, if the man in white was ruthless, he wouldn't have the sound of the piano for more than an hour just now.

I'm afraid that this southern restaurant will exist, just because of an inseparable love.

"Sometimes, if you miss it, it's a lifetime, and you can't start your life from scratch." Seeing that Tang Tang almost bumped into a passerby, Song Xingchen hurriedly pulled her and couldn't bear to say such a sentence.

"You see that?" Tang Tang raised his head in some panic, hurriedly looked at the others, and saw that they were talking about getting into the carriage again, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "Xingchen, don't tell anyone, it's impossible for me to be with him." ”

"If you don't work hard, how can you be sure that it's impossible?" Song Xingchen raised his eyebrows, seeing Tang Tang's gloomy expression, he felt that he had taken it for granted, so he handed over a handkerchief and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, I won't say it, it's just that you don't know how to hide yourself, and he settled in the capital, as long as there is a chance to meet, sooner or later he will be noticed." ”

"I'll pay attention to it in the future, but I didn't expect him to be in the capital, so I ......" Tang Tang bit his lip and said with tears in his eyes: "Mother is already looking at people for me, and it won't be long before I get married." ”

"If you have one person in your heart, but you want to marry another person, will you be happy?" Song Xingchen frowned and asked.

"Xingchen, do you know how much I envy you? Although I had a distressing childhood, I survived it in the end, and now I am very happy. But I am the daughter of the General's Mansion, no matter how wanton I am and how pampered I am, I am bound by the General's Mansion after all. Tang Tang turned his face away and wiped a handful of tears.

Song Xingchen was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand why Tang Tang avoided that man.

As the daughter of the General's Mansion, but marrying a man from another country, once this is taken advantage of by someone with a heart, it may bring ruin to the General's Mansion.

Even the queen, Zhou Feng and Zhou Jin will be implicated.

What's more, what kind of identity the man from the southern country has, Song Xingchen doesn't know, maybe he is also a person with a special identity, not an ordinary businessman.

"I'm sorry, I thought it was too simple." Song Xingchen said apologetically.

"I know you're kind, but from the day I was born, some things were predestined, and even if I resisted, I could only choose to give in in the end." Tang Tang smiled bitterly, his eyes were still a little red, but he was not as disrespectful as he was just now, "Xingchen, there are too many people in this world who have suffered all their lives because of their background, maybe we are too dissatisfied, and we always want more after getting a lot of things that others can't get, so it's unbearable to be sad all your life." ”

Seeing Tang Tang, who suddenly showed his mature side, Song Xingchen didn't know what to say to comfort her for a while.

It is true that there are too many unsatisfactory things in life, and seeing through all this will only make you more helpless, because there is no other choice.

Song Xingchen is really glad that she has traveled to the Song family and has a family that is infinitely tolerant of her, otherwise would she face more uncontrollable futures?

"Let's go, don't keep them waiting." Tang Tang quickly sorted out his emotions and walked towards the carriage with heroic steps.

Song Xingchen stood in place, for some reason, looking at Tang Tang's pace as before, she felt that there was something more in Tang Tang.

In the backyard of the Nanguo Restaurant, the man in white sat lonely in place, his hands hanging on his knees, and his eyes were always staring at the portrait hanging on the rockery in front of him.

The woman in the portrait is dressed in red, wielding a silver whip, her eyes are vibrant, agile but secretly cunning.

And the woman in the painting is Tang Tang, but looking at her age, she should be fourteen or fifteen years old, and she is a little more immature than now.

"Do you really want to be a stranger again?" The man in white shook his head with a wry smile and laughed at himself: "But I can't do it, even if you are really ruthless, I still want to be the one who guards your happiness." ”

The words of the man in white could only be heard by the wind, but they were gently blown apart, leaving endless sentimentality in vain.

As soon as Song Xingchen returned to the mansion, he was welcomed in by Apple, and he knew that something important was happening by looking at his expression.

"What happened?" Song Xingchen knew that Apple's temperament was calm, and he should not be the kind of person who changed color at every turn.

"The batch of orders signed by the second lady really went wrong." Apple lowered her voice and said, "According to Miss's instructions, we have been secretly keeping an eye on the situation in the workshop, and we have not found anything wrong until the goods are sealed." But someone on the other side of the warehouse did something, and if our people hadn't stopped it in time, this batch of goods would have been destroyed. ”

"Have you found out who is behind it?" Song Xingchen's face did not change, from the day she found out that there was a problem, she was prepared for such a thought, after all, someone betrayed her and betrayed the Song family.

However, people die for money, birds die for food, and not all the people on the other side of the warehouse are people who have a death contract, and it is not uncommon to sell the owner for money or in the hands of others.

It's just that Song Xingchen was still disappointed after all, the people who could be selected to guard the warehouse were all people who had received favors from the Song family, and the Song family did not force them to sign a deed of sale, but only signed a labor contract every five years.

"No, this Li Changgui's mouth is very hard, he only said that he was unhappy in his heart, and asked him where he bought the medicinal materials, and he said that they were sold by You Fanglangzhong." Apple replied.

"Where are the people now?" Song Xingchen asked.

"It's locked in the firewood room, and the slave and maid send someone to guard it, so that he won't find a short-sighted sight or be killed." Apple's tone was a little low, and he hated this kind of ungrateful person the most.

"Let's go meet someone." Song Xingchen's tone was flat, and he changed direction as he spoke.

The master and servant soon came to the firewood room, and after the guard's courtyard saluted, they opened the firewood room, but left two people to protect Song Xingchen.

Looking at Li Changgui, who was tied up by five flowers, Song Xingchen didn't say a word, just looked at him with disappointed eyes.

Probably because of the weakness in his heart, Li Changgui closed his eyes tightly, not daring to look at Song Xingchen.

"Have you found out what's going on in his house lately?" Song Xingchen looked at Li Changgui, but his words were asked about Apple.

"The man sent to investigate has not returned." Apple replied.

"Go and prepare a bowl of hot noodle soup, I'm going to be a little hungry." Song Xingchen said to Apple.

"Yes." Apple turned away.

"Li Changgui, I, Song Xingchen, think that I have never treated the people under my hands badly, even no one in the Song family will treat my subordinates and workers harshly, let alone beat and scold them at every turn. You have always behaved well in the warehouse, and the steward has reported to my father more than once, and my father is also ready to give you processing money, but he did not expect that you would harbor evil intentions. Song Xingchen sat on the chair and said in a cold voice: "To be honest, I am very disappointed in you, even with suspicion of the workers in the warehouse, and the person who does not sign the deed of sale really can't be trusted." ”

"I, Li Changgui, do things by myself, and have nothing to do with others, and I ask Miss Fourth not to anger others." Li Changgui opened his eyes and spoke hurriedly.

"If you do something wrong, you will naturally have to bear the consequences. But I don't want the people who are good friends with you to do something unfavorable to the Song family in order to avenge you, so I can only ask them to leave. The Song family will never be stingy with the money that should be compensated, but it will stop there. Song Xingchen didn't have a little warmth in his tone, and he seemed to have made up his mind.

"Isn't Fourth Miss the most kind-hearted? Why can't we give them a way out? It's not easy for people to work in the workshop, so let Miss Four let them go! Li Changgui struggled to get up and knelt down for Song Xingchen, wanting to kowtow but couldn't.

"Kindness?" Song Xingchen sneered: "There is a limit to the goodness of my heart, if I can't even keep my family and family business, it doesn't hurt to be a wicked person!" Don't tell me, you Li Changgui don't know the importance of the soy sauce workshop to the Song family, once there is a problem with a batch of goods, it is a trivial matter for the Song family to lose money, and the reputation of the past years will be ruined! And the careers of my eldest brother and second brother will also be affected, do you think I will joke about the reputation of the family for the sake of other people's lives and deaths? What's the difference between that and killing our family? ”

"No, I didn't think about it that much, I didn't want to harm the owner's family!" Li Changgui was anxious to explain, but he also knew that he had done so, and everything he said was pale and weak.

"You didn't think about it so much, so the Song family was almost destroyed in your hands, and the descendants of the Song family will also carry this pot! Li Changgui, I really regret saving your family at that time, if someone hadn't noticed your abnormal behavior, I would have been the executioner who indirectly harmed my own family! Is that how you repay me? Song Xingchen patted the armrest and said angrily: "I never expected you to repay me, but I never thought that the person who harmed the Song family turned out to be the person I helped, I knew that it would be like this, what good deed I still do, it is better to be a wicked person, at least the people under my hands dare not harm me, because they know that they can't bear the consequences!" ”

"Fourth Miss, I know it's wrong, but it's really me who did it alone, and it has nothing to do with others, Miss Fourth is a lot, don't be angry with others, if you want to kill me, Li Changgui will never complain for half a sentence, ask Fourth Miss to be kind!" Li Changgui's eyes were red, he wanted to kowtow but fell to the ground, and could only look at Song Xingchen with remorse.

"Enough! If you are truly repentant, you should tell me who made you do this, not avoid me! Li Changgui, I, Song Xingchen, have always had clear grievances, I will not implicate your family in the mistakes you made today, but they don't want to stand in the capital anymore, as long as there is a place for my Song family's shop, your family doesn't want to take root! Song Xingchen put down his cruel words.

Li Changgui was so frightened that his face turned white in an instant, although he was just a worker guarding the warehouse, he also knew that the Song family's business was almost all over the Great Zhou Kingdom.

If there is really a place where the Song family's shop can't accommodate his family, what is the difference between it and his family who forced him to death?

"Fourth Miss, my family doesn't know that I did this, Fourth Miss give them a way to live! I'll recruit, I'll recruit anything! Li Changgui's head kept smashing to the ground, crying bitterly: "I accepted a thousand taels of silver from that person, and I don't know who that person is, but that person's men kidnapped my only son, and they threatened to either take money to do things, or just wait to collect my son's body, I can't help it!" ”
