Chapter 40: Eavesdropping on the corner
Zhou still can't rest assured about yesterday's events.
The next day, I went to Ming's courtyard to inquire about the news, but Ming's didn't let her into the house.
The attendants in Ming's courtyard said that he was sick and did not see any guests.
Zhou didn't believe it, but she saw that someone brought the decoction to Ming, and she didn't doubt it.
After a few days, the house was calm, and neither Ming nor Tang Jiao asked about the things lost in the warehouse, so Zhou was completely relieved.
And Tang Jiude originally wanted to discuss Tang Jiao's marriage with Ming, but knowing that Ming's illness he didn't mention it to Ming's for the time being, but at dinner that day, at the dinner table, Tang Jiude tested Tang Jiao's tone.
"Jiaojiao is not young anymore, Dad is recently showing you the candidate for a future husband, what do you think of telling Daddy, after all, it is your lifelong event, and you still have to agree."
Listening to this fatherly tone, Tang Jiao sneered in her heart, "Parents have the final say on marriage matters, and daughters listen to their father's arrangements." ”
Tang Jiude wanted to hear Tang Jiao's words, and he couldn't close his mouth happily, "Okay, then Dad will look at the arrangement for you?" ”
Tang Jiao smiled, "Listen to what my father means, is there a candidate?" ”
"Haha, there is indeed one, Jiaojiao, what do you think of your second aunt's nephew? Dad has seen that child, sensible, the main thing is to be a son-in-law, you don't have to get married, and naturally you don't have to be angry with your in-laws, and the child is also a person who knows how to hurt. ”
Tang Jiao lowered her head and drank porridge, "Since my father is satisfied, my daughter has no opinion." ”
Tang Jiao was so good at talking, Tang Jiude didn't expect it.
For a while, he was a little skeptical that Tang Jiao was pretending to be in front of her.
But looking at Tang Jiao's well-behaved appearance and it didn't look like he was lying to him, he was very satisfied.
It's just that the next moment I heard Tang Jiao say: "However, my mother has been in poor health recently, and my father will talk about it in a few days, after all, my daughter is still young, and I am not in a hurry about marriage, but my mother's body is important." ”
Tang Jiude was also worried about how to get the Ming family to agree to this matter, and he didn't find a good excuse for the time being, so he nodded after listening to Tang Jiao's words.
Thinking of what he heard about the backyard a few days ago, Tang Jiude asked.
"What's missing in your mother's storeroom?"
When he and the Ming family got married, he had seen those dowries, so he couldn't say that everything was expensive, but it wasn't cheap.
"It's okay, it's not a valuable thing, so it's silent."
"If your mother can't manage those things, give me the key, it's better in my hands than in the dust in the storehouse all day."
Tang Jiao's action of picking up vegetables was paused.
She knew that Tang Jiude was shameless, but she didn't expect to be so shameless.
"Dad, those are my mother's dowry, or my mother keeps them well, and my mother keeps these things because of my grandmother."
Tang Jiude smashed his mouth twice, and did not continue to mention this matter.
After dinner, Tang Jiude left first.
In recent days, he has always gone out at this time, and often does not return home at night.
The Ming family trusted him and would not ask him where he was, and Tang Jiude also said nothing in this family, so he never concealed his whereabouts.
It is common to linger in flower buildings, and it is not uncommon to raise women outside.
In the previous life, Tang Jiao was also about to die, only to know that Tang Jiude had been raising people outside.
And this person was found for Tang Jiude in the second room.
The reason why the second room of the previous life controlled the Tang family was that this woman outside had a lot of strength.
Tang Jiao calculated the time and guessed that the reason why Tang Jiude went out so frequently recently was that he was afraid that he had hooked up with the woman found in the second room.
Watching Tang Jiude walk out of the dining room, Tang Jiao also put down her chopsticks.
The slightest appetite is gone
After the meal, he asked his subordinates to send Tang Bufan back, and Tang Jiao and Chen Peiyao walked out of the dining room for a walk.
The weather is getting colder and colder, and the scenery in the courtyard is almost lost.
Tang Jiao was not in a good mood, and she hadn't spoken much since she came out.
Chen Peiyao walked to her side quietly, and originally walked directly to their yard, but he took her to a different path.
"Where to go?" Tang Jiao came back to her senses.
"I'll walk with you."
Saying that, Chen Peiyao asked Mo Tong and the fat girl to go back first.
Mo Tong obediently retired, and the fat girl stared at Tang Jiao, a little hesitant.
Tang Jiao waved her hand at the fat girl before leaving.
"Brother has something to say to me?"
The two walked side by side, and Tang Jiao asked in a low voice.
Although the moon is not round tonight, the stars are dotted, and the night is beautiful.
"No, it's just that I'll talk to you when I see you're in a bad mood."
His voice was low, and it inexplicably gave people a gentle feeling on this night.
Tang Jiao's heartbeat was inexplicably out of control for a moment.
glanced at Chen Peiyao, then withdrew his gaze and stared at the ground.
"Thank you, brother."
Chen Peiyao could see her discomfort.
And he helped her, which made it feel like she wasn't alone.
She had never shouted so sincerely.
She even thought how nice it would be if Chen Peiyao was really his brother.
The tip of her nose was sore, and the grievances that came up for a while made her eyes moist.
Suddenly, the top of her head was pressed, and a large, gentle, powerful hand rubbed her hair.
Chen Peiyao didn't say anything, just walked quietly beside her.
The two walked a long distance in this way, and further on was the courtyard where the second room was located.
They turned around and went back.
Just after walking two steps, a slight movement came from behind the rockery not far away.
Tang Jiao's footsteps stopped, and she raised her eyes to look at Chen Peiyao.
In the not-so-bright moonlight, the two looked at each other, and Tang Jiao knew that she hadn't heard it wrong.
"Anyone?" Tang Jiao lowered her voice and asked.
Chen Peiyao didn't speak, and took her arm to hide under a laurel tree.
Tang Jiao's eyelids jumped.
Chen Peiyao, is this going to listen to the meaning of the corner?
Isn't that right?
Tang Jiao stretched out her hand and carefully tugged at Chen Peiyao's sleeve.
Chen Peiyao held her hand with his backhand, for fear that she would make a move, and gently pinched her palm.
"Don't move."
He lowered his voice, but looked at the side where the movement was commencing.
Tang Jiao's body stiffened for a moment, and she wanted to withdraw her hand, but Chen Peiyao held it tighter.
"Brother......
She wanted to remind Chen Peiyao to let go of her hand, and the sound of words came into her ears.
"Cousin, are you right about us? If you let my aunt know, neither you nor I will be able to eat good fruit. ”
This was a woman's voice, panting slightly, and deliberately lowering her voice, Tang Jiao didn't hear who it was for a while.
"Afraid of what? My mother is a paper tiger, and now she and my father are thinking about how to get the power of the Tang family, where can we be controlled? ”
It was the voice of the man who was also panting slightly.
Compared with the woman's forbearance, the man's voice did not mean to suppress it at all.
Tang Jiao almost heard who this was as soon as he opened his mouth.
It's Tang Min.
That...... The woman is Zhou Juan?
And at this time, the movement inside, why does it sound a little wrong?
In the previous life, Tang Jiao didn't have no experience in personnel, how could she not know what was going on inside?
She became nervous and couldn't help but hold Chen Peiyao's hand.
I can't go on listening to this.
