The little ÷ said ◎ Net], the ♂ little ÷ said ◎ Net],

As a merchant, Xue Su's ability to observe words and emotions is naturally not bad, how can he not see Tan Zheng's dissatisfaction with himself?

She thought that she hadn't done anything wrong, and opening a private museum was just to make full use of her mother's relics, but she didn't expect to attract this military secretary to come to the door to question.

With a slight sarcasm on her face, she reached out and gently stroked her hair, asking, "If I don't care about Yan Ruyu, how does my stepfather plan to deal with this matter?" ”

Seeing that Xue Su was obsessed, Tan was gloomy and said coldly, "Su Niang, you can't be so selfish, you have to think about Qinghe, he married a village woman from Jingyang, and he has been ridiculed by his colleagues, if his wife is still in business, I am afraid that the sewage on his body will not be clean." ”

Steady footsteps came from outside the door.

"There is Lao Yi's father who cares, whether Su Niang is in business or not is Qinghe's family matter, please don't interfere."

The two people in the hall turned their heads in unison and watched the tall, muscular and imposing man approach. He stood in front of Xue Su, covering most of the woman's body, and his every move revealed a strong sense of maintenance.

Tan Zheng has been an official for many years, how can he not see the cattiness in it?

"Qinghe, your wife has taken away other people's secret recipes and used her power to do evil, how can you continue to connive at her?" Tan Zheng was heartbroken, no matter what, he didn't expect that his son, who had always been excellent, would be so dazzled by a woman that he didn't even care who was right and who was wrong.

Chu Qinghe's face was serious, and he said in a deep voice:

"Father-in-law, the matter has not yet been investigated, as Su Niang said, you can't be suspicious because of Cheng's one-sided words, the so-called crime of wanting to add is no excuse, Cheng's narrow-mindedness, as early as Jingyang, he did a lot of evil things that hurt others and himself for money, and now that he is in the capital, he actually does not change his life and slanders my wife, it is really shameless!"

Seeing that the man's eyes were faintly red, obviously with murderous intent, Tan Zheng's breathing was stagnant, and his chest was stuffy.

"As an auxiliary marquis, is it a bit too much for you to help your relatives like this?"

Chu Qinghe also respected Tan Zheng, an elder, in the end, and stretched out his hand with a complicated face, wanting to help him sit down, but he didn't expect to be thrown away.

Even if she was blocked behind her, Xue Su was not blind, she could naturally take their movements into her eyes, her heart seemed to be pressed against a boulder, she was very depressed, and she just wanted to say something, but Yu Guang swept Chu Qinghe's gloomy expression, her thin eyebrows tightened, and she swallowed back the words that had surged into her throat.

"Let me ask you one last time, do you really want to connive at the Xue family's evil?" Tan Zheng's forehead burst with green tendons, and he said word by word.

"Su Niang didn't do evil."

Hearing his categorical answer, Xue Su's eyes were hot, her thick and slender eyelashes trembled, and tears rolled down her face in an instant.

"Lord Tan, everything must be evidenced, as long as you find out the facts and confirm that the secret recipe does belong to Cheng Sanniang, I will immediately close the private hall, and there will be no second words, if you can't prove it, you will not mention this matter again!" Later, the woman's voice was a little sharp, like an old cat that had been stepped on its tail.

Tan Zheng was in a high position, with an arrogant temperament, he never took Xue Su in his eyes, and said coldly: "This is what you said, don't regret it." ”

The woman snorted, "Why regret it? The secret recipe is my mother's relic, I put this thing at home at that time, and Cheng Sanniang stole part of it, she didn't even have a tenth in her hand, what am I afraid of? ”

Xue Su's voice was clear, and there was no trace of fear in his eyes, this frank appearance made Tan Zheng can't help but drum in his heart - couldn't she really steal the secret recipe? But how can an ordinary village woman have a way to cultivate herself in the palace?

After a moment's relief, his mind became firm again, he was planning for Qinghe, there was a businessman lady, it was really difficult to get into the hall of elegance, no matter whose secret recipe it was, he had to let the Xue family close the private hall.

Chu Qinghe has been with Tan Zheng for many years, and he can guess a thing or two from his expression alone, thinking that the person he respects the most has repeatedly embarrassed his wife, his eyes show a little bitterness.

"You're doing it for yourselves."

Leaving such a sentence, Tan Zheng brushed his sleeves and left.

Xue Su frowned slightly, and found that the man's tall body shook slightly, she sighed in her heart, hurriedly grabbed his wrist, and asked urgently,

"Isn't there something uncomfortable? I asked people to go to the doctor. ”

Chu Qinghe shook his head, he held Xue Su in his arms, his hot thin lips swept over his soft cheeks, and he said in a dumb voice, "Su Niang, you have been wronged." ”

The little wife was pregnant, and he couldn't wait to hold the person in the palm of his hand and not let her bump into it, but he didn't think that his father-in-law would suddenly come to the door and embarrass her because of the private hotel.

"The secret recipe has nothing to do with Cheng Sanniang, but Lord Tan is afraid that he has already believed her words, and no matter how I defend it, it will be useless."

"It's okay, let's sit upright, don't worry about him."

Saying this, Chu Qinghe was still a little worried. With his understanding of Tan Zheng, the latter would never come to the Hou Mansion angrily because of his one-sided words, could there be other reasons?

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't come up with a reason, so he simply pulled Xue Su to sit on the soft couch, gently pinched the soft flesh on the back of her neck with his big palm, and rubbed it again and again.

Eagle eyes caught a glimpse of the red marks in the corners of his little wife's eyes, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and Tan Yuanqing's face appeared in his mind, he didn't believe that the woman didn't make trouble.

------

After returning to Tan's mansion, Tan Zheng directly ordered his guards to bring Cheng Sanniang over, after all, if you want to find evidence for Yan Ruyu to close the door, you must start with her.

Even with Xiao Hongyun behind her back, Cheng Sanniang is just a small businessman, and there is no comparison with the Ministry of War at all. When she was taken to Tan's house by the guards, she was terrified all the way.

Entering the study with a pale face, she saw an elegant-looking middle-aged man sitting on the Eight Immortals Chair, and guessed that he was Tan Yuanqing's father Tan Zheng.

"The concubine has seen Lord Tan."

In all fairness, Cheng Sanniang is handsome, and at the moment she is wearing a lake-green skirt, with a smart and elegant temperament, compared to the flamboyant Xue family, she looks a lot more peaceful.

"Cheng, whose secret recipe is it?"

"If you go back to the adult, the secret recipe of the private hall is indeed a concubine."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted impatiently, "If you lie, this official promises that from now on there will be no place for you to stand in the capital." ”

The man's voice was very flat, but the threat in it made Cheng Sanniang feel excited, and she saw big drops of cold sweat slipping down her cheeks and seeping into the placket of her clothes.

"The secret recipe is Xue's."

This sentence seemed to exhaust the strength of the woman's whole body, and she staggered a little, if she hadn't held the Bo Gu Tong Jin frame next to her with one hand, I am afraid that she would have fallen to the ground a long time ago.

Hearing this, Tan Zheng was not surprised at all, what he cared about was not the ownership of the secret recipe at all, but he didn't want Yizi to be involved with the ninth-rate merchants, as long as the Xue family was no longer in business, An Ansheng stayed in the Hou Mansion to raise a baby, everything was easy to say.

"From today onwards, you have to remember that the secret recipe is yours, not Xue's."

Cheng Sanniang nodded desperately, her whole person was like being fished out of the water, and her shrunken appearance was not as good as a quail.

Rubbing his fingers lightly on the edge of the table, Tan Zheng frowned and thought for a while before he said, "There are a lot of maids in Yan Ruyu, if these people are on your side, is there a way to close the private hall?" ”

Picking at the wooden frame with her fingernails, Cheng Sanniang suspected that she had heard it wrong, and she never thought that Tan Zheng would help her. Biting the tip of her tongue fiercely, her head immediately sobered up, and she said in a dumb voice, "Even if the maid admits it, it's useless, the secret recipe has been destroyed by the Xue family, and she can memorize the rest, and others can't get it at all." ”

"This official knows the whereabouts of an old woman, she has served the concubine of the previous dynasty, as long as she is willing to say the secret recipe, why do you have to snatch it from the Xue family?"

The former concubine?

That concubine Niangniang is a legendary figure, not to mention the appearance of the flowers, but also good at maintenance, she is already a, on the surface, she still looks like a twenty-eight girl, if she can get her secret recipe for self-cultivation, the beauty fang will definitely be able to suppress Yan Ruyu!

Her heart was pounding, Cheng Sanniang licked her dry lips, and had to admit that Tan Zheng's words were very reasonable, her knees slowly bent up, and she knelt down at the man in front of her, and said:

"Lord Tan's kindness, the concubine is toothless and unforgettable, and when she comes, she will tie the grass ring and come to repay her."

"You don't need to tie the grass ring, that old lady is not easy to get along with, you have to have a lot of money to be willing to make a move, since you are a member of the Xiao family, it must not be difficult to get some silver."

Even if she borrowed a few more courage from Cheng Sanniang, she didn't dare to ask Tan Zheng for money, and said in a stacked voice, "This is natural, as long as you inform the concubine of Mama's whereabouts, the future results will definitely satisfy you." ”

"She lives in Xiangfu in the north of the city, and she is looking for it."

Cheng Sanniang thanked her in a low voice, and left the study quickly, until she walked out of the Tan family, the feeling of panic still did not disappear. However, as long as she thought of the secret recipe of the previous dynasty, the excitement made her cheeks flush for a moment, and it was difficult to control herself.

I wanted to go to Xiangfuli first to find out the wind from the old woman's mouth, but when I remembered the old woman's greed for money, Cheng Sanniang paused and turned her head to rush to Xiaofu.

Because of her frequent movement recently, the servants guarding the door of the Xiao Mansion had already recognized her and hurriedly brought people to Xiao Hongyun's courtyard.

The two women sat facing each other, Cheng Sanniang opened her mouth, and before she could speak, there was a noisy sound outside.

She looked out and found that many guards in unicorn suits rushed in and firmly bound all the people in the mansion.

Seeing this, she was so frightened that her limbs went numb.

Xiao Hongyun was also stunned, and just as she wanted to reprimand, the guards rushed to the room, as if dragging a dead pig, and took her outside the courtyard.

"You dog minions, my aunt is Concubine Xiao, you dare to do this to me, be careful of being beheaded by Your Majesty!"
