Chapter 125: Release the Suspicions
Tang Tong was in charge of the affairs of Yongji Bridge, and the affairs of the Xidingmen military camp were in charge of Lan Tingshu. Since mentioning the matter of his sister and Tang Tong with his father, he angered Yunyang Hou Lanchou, so he grounded Lan Tingmei, and now he can't even get out of the Hou Mansion. At first, I didn't understand why Tang Tong insisted on building the Yongji Bridge, but later he understood the mystery at his father's point. In the future, I will also go to the construction site from time to time to be on duty, in the name of going down to exercise, in fact, it is to see how Tang Tong schedules, seeing is believing, and I admire Tang Tong's wisdom and vision more and more.
One day, Tang Tong was inspecting the construction site, and Lan Tingshu was sitting in a shed at this time. I saw a gorgeous carriage coming from afar, the construction in front was really difficult, and after stopping, a woman got out of the car and came on foot. Lan Tingshu had long seen that it was the close-fitting maid ring spring in the summer and autumn, and he had been staring at it. Jianchun, who was inquiring all the way, went straight after seeing Tang Tong.
"Lord Tang! Miss has something to say to you.", at this time Tang Tong was talking to someone, and turned around to see that it was Jian Chun.
It was almost noon, the sun was very big, Tang Tong raised his right hand and put it on his eyebrows to block the sun, and saw a carriage in the east, knowing that Xia Shunqiu was on it. Said worriedly: "You come to inform me first, why bother Miss Xia to come to this chaotic place, even if it is dirty, it is still dangerous.", and hurriedly walked in the direction of the carriage.
Although in the shade of the trees, there is still a harsh sun. As soon as he arrived at the carriage, Tang Tong hurriedly persuaded: "Miss Xia! We went back to the city and said that there was no hurry for this meeting.".
"No, you don't! Just a few words, Lord Tang still has something to do, so he will leave after speaking.", that knew that Xia Xunqiu replied.
"That's good! Miss Xia, please speak!", Tang Tong urged, wondering what was going on.
The two were too familiar, and at this time, Xia Xunqiu lifted the curtain and spoke, "I heard that Miss Lan was imprisoned because of you, why did you hide here?", there was some confusion in his eyes, even with longing.
Tang Tong didn't expect Xia Xunqiu to ask about this, and he was a little stunned for a while, and asked rhetorically: "You can say that, but it can also be said that it is not, how can I compete with the Marquis of Yunyang?"
Hearing this, Xia Xunqiu didn't quite understand, and couldn't help asking, "How do you say that?"
"This is exactly what Miss Lan meant, I have said that the two of us can't do it, but I can't twist it, opening my mouth is the end, if I go to the Yunyang Hou Mansion to make trouble, I don't care, at most I will mock it, Miss Lan's reputation will be ruined.", Tang Tong said delicately, his heart was open, his tone was heavy, but his face was helpless and sad.
"It seems that I misunderstood you, is there no good solution?", not a loss is meticulous in the summer, autumn and autumn, very considerate of others, even if you lose some money, you have to take care of other people's feelings.
"There's no way, Miss Lan is just temporarily wronged, I will give up, but when everything is calm, no one will remember, just treat it as if there is no such thing!", Tang Tong said it didn't matter, but no one knew what he was thinking in his heart.
I didn't expect Tang Tong to be so pessimistic, is this like the optimistic and omnipotent Tang Tong before? Xia Xunqiu didn't dare to think about it, and he was hesitating how to say it in his heart. Suddenly, I heard a voice, "Actually, it's all prejudices, the big ones are weak, doesn't Miss Xia affect her happiness because of this?", Tang Tong smiled indifferently and said very affectionately.
It's easy to talk about others, but when it comes to yourself, who is not a mess, and Xia and Autumn are no exception. The eyes were staring at Tang Tong, which was reminding himself that Xia Xunqiu had nothing to say. Jian Chun next to her was also cold in her heart, she was worried about Miss, but her eyes were just paying attention to Tang Tong alone, after many contacts, Jian Chun thought that Tang Tong was a responsible, scheming for progress, a discerning and assertive person, there was a kind of admiration in his eyes when he looked at Miss, but he was deliberately hiding, not easy for people to detect.
Sensing that the atmosphere was wrong, Tang Tong shook his head and apologized: "What do you want me to say?" How to get involved with Miss Xia, it shouldn't be! Please forgive Miss Xia!", seeing Xia Xunqiu's eyes looking at him, his heart trembled, and he immediately turned his head to look at Jian Chun.
Xia Xunqiu also felt that something was wrong, this was a conversation between the two of them alone and the closest distance. Last time, it was also at Yongji Bridge, but the two of them were talking through the curtain. I couldn't help but put down the curtain of the car, Xia Xunqiu felt a little uneasy, I didn't understand why this happened, now I just want to calm down, the woman in the boudoir and the man talking, after all, it is not polite.
"Miss Xia doesn't have to take this matter to heart, everything has a certainty, let's wait and see what happens.", seeing that Xia Xunqiu in the car didn't reply, Tang Tong said to Jianchun: "Get in the car and go back to the city with Miss!" It's too hot here, don't get heat stroke!".
As soon as Jian Chun got in the car and lifted the curtain, he suddenly stopped moving, and his eyes looked at Yongji Bridge. Tang Tong couldn't help but turn around and see in the direction that Jian Chun was looking at that he saw Lan Tingshu walking quickly towards him.
Jianchun said to Xia Xunqiu in the car: "Miss! The little marquis is coming here.", Xia Xunqiu opened the curtain after hearing this, and took a few looks. Tell the coachman, "Hurry up!" Let's go back to the city!", Xia Shunqiu's attitude is resolute, and no one else thinks about it.
"Lord Lan is rubbing me and Miss Lan, he knows the specific situation best, Miss Xia might as well not leave first! If you don't want to talk to him, I'll ask him, okay?", as soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Xia Xunqiu to agree, he stepped forward and grabbed the reins of the horse.
The carriage couldn't go, so it could only wait for Lan Tingshu to approach. When Lan Tingshu came to the carriage, he saw everything in front of him and didn't know what to say. Tang Tong put down the reins, nodded and said to him, "Lord Lan! Miss Xia and I are talking about Miss Lan, you know the specific situation best, can you talk about it?", he approached as he spoke.
Lan Tingshu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded immediately: "I mentioned to my father that my sister likes Tang Duwei, and I was immediately rejected by my father, I still didn't convince my father after a lot of words, when I was yelled out, my sister rushed in, argued with my father, and was slapped in the mouth, crying to run away from home, and was caught and locked up by my father. Ten days later, under the efforts of his mother, although he was released, he was followed by everyone and was not allowed to leave the Hou Mansion for a single step, which was no different from being locked up."
Xia Shunqiu didn't make a sound in the car, and he must be listening. Tang Tong saw that Lan Tingshu no longer said, "Then tell Miss Xia about the conversation between the two of us.", although it was urging but with an ordering tone, the two were superiors and subordinates after all.
Lan Tingshu quickly said again; "When I talked to Lord Tang about the cause and effect, I said that as a father who did the right thing, no one would give his baby daughter to be a stepmother, let alone be a stepmother. Persuade me not to worry about it, things will always pass, saying that it is for my sister's good. said that if you are in a hurry to take me as a sample, you will eventually give in.", full of grievances and helplessness when speaking, as if talking about yourself.
What Lan Tingshu said is not different from Tang Tong, but the stepmother and stepmother are not easy to open their mouths, for fear of ruining Lan Tingmei's reputation. Xia Xunqiu in the car sighed a lot, and couldn't help but speak, "It's easy to say others, but it's stupid to yourself.".
Xia Xunqiu was mainly talking about himself and didn't think about it so much. Lan Tingshu, who was standing, heard that he was talking about him, and said very calmly: "Miss Xia is right! It's because I'm too cowardly, and I'm not as good as my sister.".
Hearing that Lan Tingshu misunderstood what he meant, he just wanted to open his mouth to explain, but he still couldn't help but say it. I didn't need to sympathize, I felt that what I said was very appropriate, and the atmosphere sank down.
"The little marquis has resisted, but I don't even have a word of arguing, the worst thing is me, you are much braver.", the most embarrassing time is indispensable for Tang Tong to find another topic, this time directly belittled himself.
Xia Xunqiu and Lan Tingshu didn't squeak, but Jian Chun covered his mouth and laughed, and said from the bottom of his heart: "Yes! Said that he was a turtle with a shrunken head, but he behaved better.", still laughing after saying that.
Lan Tingshu looked at her curiously, Xia Xunqiu didn't know what his expression was in the car. Tang Tong pointed at Jianchun with his right hand and said, "Miss Lan must scold me like you, I deserve it!" When the time comes, I will bow my head and keep silent, let her scold enough, just relieve her anger!", he also laughed softly as he spoke, Jian Chun was shocked for a moment and didn't laugh again, but Tang Tong was still laughing.
Lan Tingshu looked at him curiously, these two people were people of a kind of character, to be exact, a kind of person. Who can laugh in such a situation? Say your thoughts, "Don't meet my sister again, I'm afraid of a resurgence, Lord Tang may not care, my sister is too affectionate, and she is the one who hurts the most.", Lan Tingshu said what he said in his heart, he and his sister will not get the feelings they want, why bother to be troubled by themselves.
"I listened to the little marquis, and I stayed away from Miss Lan, even if I met him, I didn't speak.", Tang Tong quickly answered, nodding his head frequently to express his determination.
"Little Hou Ye! We should do the same, to the lord of the county, she is a good companion. Jianchun, go back to the city!", Xia Shunqiu finally spoke in the car, but it was a decision against Lan Tingshu.
Until the carriage walked far away, Lan Tingshu was still annoyed, he shouldn't have said that to Tang Tong, at least not in front of Xia Xunqiu. Tang Tong patted him on the shoulder, but he still didn't come back to his senses, waited and waited, and saw that it was still the same, and he returned to Yongji Bridge alone, knowing that it would take him a while to wake up.
Lan Tingshu was stunned in place, and Xia Junqiu and Jianchun saw it. After walking far away, Jian Chun couldn't bear to say, "Miss! Your words hurt the little marquis, you see how sad he is!".
"Sooner or later, if you don't let it go, after a long time, more people will be hurt.", Xia Xunqiu felt like a mirror in her heart, she had to be ruthless in order to get out of this fruitless relationship.
Jianchun understood, looked at the melancholy Xia Xunqiu, and stammered: "Miss! I feel .......".
Xia Xunqiu looked at her and stopped, didn't know what to say, and urged: "If you have something to say, don't be distracted!".
Seeing that Xia Xunqiu had spoken, Jian Chun said without hesitation: "Lord Tang has no real feelings for Miss Lan, but he was forced to be helpless. I have known this result for a long time, and I am quite scheming!".
"I can also see that he is a scheming person.", Xia Xunqiu didn't think that Jian Chun was talking about this, and said very lightly. I couldn't help sighing again, I was sorry for Lan Tingmei.
"If Miss showed his heart to him, he wouldn't be like this, he would definitely have no hesitation, and he would have to have a result!", Jian Chun was about to say this, but after speaking, seeing Miss staring at her viciously, his body couldn't help but step back.
"Dead girl! It's getting more and more unruly, I have to teach you a good lesson when I go back!", Xia Xunqiu reprimanded with a sinking face.
"I'm just making an analogy, that's not what I mean.", Jian Chun was still a little scared, because the young lady rarely spoke to herself like this, and hurriedly argued, her voice still a little trembling.
"What does that mean?", if you don't say it clearly, everyone will ask at once, and Xia Xunqiu is no exception.
"I mean that Lord Tang likes Miss, he can patiently follow Miss Lan, he just wants to be with Miss.", Jian Chun is out of the way, and he is not afraid of Miss's punishment.
"You.... You .....", Xia Xunqiu stammered as soon as he opened his mouth, because he felt that Jianchun was right, and he didn't know how to say it.
Seeing that the young lady was talking and knew the true meaning of her words, Jian Chun nodded to Xia Shunqiu a few times. Xia Xunqiu calmed down and thought carefully about the cause and effect, vividly in his mind. I felt that Jian Chun was right, but he still disagreed and reprimanded: "It's nothing, next time I say this, I can't spare you.".
Jian Chun knows Xia Shunqiu best, she is just lying to herself. Leaned against the side of the car and closed her eyes, lest she see that she was angry and look for her own wrong. If you talk too much, you won't have the original taste, so it's better not to say it again.
