The imperial concubine is nine and a half years old, and she is willing to overturn the table and re

Wei Lian returned to the Xie family in dejection.

Xie Zhaoqing was not at home today. When Old Lady Xie learned about this, she was so angry that she slapped Wei Lian in the face: "Waste!"

"You can't even do this little thing, and you've even humiliated Zhao Qing's reputation. What else can you do?"

Wei Lian had been standing at the gate of the prince's mansion for a long time. She was already hungry and thirsty, and was slapped by her so hard that she fell to the ground with half of her face swollen.

She gritted her teeth in hatred, but she didn't dare to confront the old lady, so she could only endure and said, "Old lady, you don't know how scheming Xie Yuantang is. She always tortures people in different ways."

"She even gave me a list on purpose, saying that if I didn't give her a dowry according to the list, she would report it to the emperor. I really had no choice!"

Madam Xie took the list, glanced at it, snorted and cursed: "You little bitch, you have such a big appetite. You want things from my Xie family, but I am still a dead man!"

Wei Lian lowered her head, her eyelashes hiding the hatred in her eyes. When she raised her head again, she said aggrievedly, "Madam, I am really no match for Xie Yuantang. As for the dowry..."

"No need for you, I'll go meet her myself!"

Madam Xie slammed the list on the table and said sarcastically, "Doesn't she want a dowry? Doesn't she like to look at the list and keep the account book? I'll show her the account book!"

Prince's Mansion.

Xie Yuantang looked at Yu Long who suddenly came to his house and said, "You want to be my bodyguard in my house?"

Yu Long nodded, and said seriously with a tough face: "I, Yu Long, keep my word. Since I promised to be your bodyguard for seven days, I will not go back on my word. Excluding the two days you were away, the seven days have not yet arrived, so I should come."

Xie Yuantang raised his eyebrows and looked him up and down.

Situ Yan and Yan Feng at the side also had strange looks in their eyes, which gave Yu Long goose bumps: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Xie Yuantang shook her head and waved her hand, saying, "Since you insist on staying, then stay. But you're just sitting there doing nothing anyway, why not find something to do?"

Hearing her tone of "making trouble", Yu Long immediately became alert and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Xie Yuantang smiled and waved at Yan Feng: "I heard that Young Master Yu is very skilled, and my guard is also quite skilled. Why don't you ask Young Master to teach me a few moves?"

Yu Long glanced at Yan Feng, who didn't care: "Okay."

After that, he looked at Yan Feng and said, "Do you want to use a sword or bare hands? I can do both."

"With a sword."

After Yan Feng finished speaking, he drew his sword and rushed forward, using the same moves as when he fought the assassin that day.

Yu Long didn't take it seriously at first, but when Yan Feng stabbed at him with a sword, his face changed and he immediately put all his energy into responding.

Xie Yuantang stood by and watched with great interest. Situ Yan was peeling grapes for her, and after peeling one, he put one into her mouth.

Half an hour later, the two men each retreated three steps and stopped.

Yan Feng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your guidance, young master."

Yu Long said in a deep voice: "I dare not, your skills are not inferior to mine."

Xie Yuantang smiled and asked Yu Long to sit down. Hongqiu served tea and snacks. While eating, Xie Yuantang asked gossipingly, "Yu Long, I heard that your sister Yu Qingqing is getting married? Who is the other party? The fourth brother or the sixth brother?"

Yu Long paused while drinking tea and looked up at Xie Yuantang: "Where did you hear that?"

Didn't she just return to the city? How come she is so well-informed?

Xie Yuantang said with a smile: "You also know that there are many people outside my house. If each person sells me a melon, it will be enough for me to eat."

Yu Long: "..." Do you think you are Wang Po? Selling melons!

Since this matter concerns the Mansion of Duke Yu, no matter how stupid Yu Long is, he knows that he cannot say anything. After all, there are too many variables before this kind of thing is finalized.

He said in a deep voice: "No comment."

"Oh~" Xie Yuantang nodded in understanding, "That means Yu Qingqing is really going to get married soon!"

Yu Long: “…”Fell into a trap!

Xie Yuantang continued chatting with him: "Hey, what about you? Concubine Yu is your aunt, she should be able to arrange it for you, right?"

Yu Long: “I don’t know.”

Xie Yuantang: "Isn't it? That shouldn't be the case. Concubine Yu doesn't look like such a stingy person."

She blinked her eyes and smiled, "It's okay. We have such a good relationship. I will ask my father for you when I go to the palace tomorrow."

Yu Long choked suddenly. If he asked Xie Yuantang to ask the emperor about his marriage, the emperor might think that his Yu family was deliberately trying to curry favor with the royal family!

He waved his hands quickly and said, "No, no, the Imperial Concubine will arrange it for me."

"Oh~ From your tone, Concubine Yu has already made arrangements for you~"

"..."

Yu Long sat like this for half an hour, and Xie Yuantang had no idea how much he had to say.

In the end, he couldn't hold it anymore, put down the teacup and glared at Xie Yuantang: "Why can't eating shut your mouth?"

Xie Yuantang was eating the cakes that Situ Yan fed him. Hearing this, he smacked his lips and said, "It's just a chat, why are you angry?"

Yu Long choked and thought, are you just chatting?

If he continues talking, he won’t be able to return to the Yu family!

He stood up with a dark face and said, "It seems that you really don't need me as a bodyguard. I'm leaving first."

Xie Yuantang waved his hand and said, "Goodbye, I won't see you off."

Yu Long frowned. She was too straightforward. Could it be that... she had discovered something?

Only after Yu Long left did Xie Yuantang stop looking angry.

Yan Feng whispered at the side: "Your Highness, Princess, Young Master Yu's moves are different from those of yesterday."

Hearing this, Situ Yan frowned and said, "But his posture just now felt very strange."

"Heh~ Even my husband can see the problem, but you who are fighting with him can't see it?"

Xie Yuantang raised his eyebrows and looked at Yan Feng: "You didn't say a 'but' after this sentence, right?"

Yan Feng scratched his head and said, "Since you found out, I wanted to keep it a suspense."

Xie Yuantang: "If you have something to say, say it quickly!"

Situ Yan: "Don't fart, it will make me and my wife feel uncomfortable!"

Yan Feng: “…”

He coughed lightly and said, "Although the moves are different, I can feel that Young Master Yu deliberately changed his moves. I deliberately used a ruthless move in the middle, and he didn't react and gave away the secret."

Xie Yuantang curled the corners of his lips and turned to look at Situ Yan: "Question, husband, why do you think he did this?"

Situ Yan's peach blossom eyes flickered open and closed, he stroked his chin and thought for a moment, then tentatively answered: "Yu Long deliberately used different moves because he couldn't use the same ones, otherwise we would know that he was in cahoots with the assassin."

"My husband is awesome, so why did he come to our house today and agree to fight with Yan Feng, and even deliberately use other moves?"

"because……"

Situ Yan paused. Guided by Xie Yuantang, his confused peach blossom eyes suddenly lit up and he said in surprise, "Because he's afraid that we'll find out that he...he knows that the assassin is going to kill us!"

Xie Yuantang smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes: "Maybe he not only knows, but also participates in it."
