"Old lady!"

While Su Tang and Qi Lingheng were still talking in the house, Qi Feng's exclamation was heard from the yard.

"Well, I heard Ling Heng is at home, so I came to see him." A slightly old voice sounded in the yard at the same time.

Su Tang looked at Qi Lingheng. The person who could be called "old lady" by Qi Feng must be Qi Lingheng's grandmother.

"My grandmother knows about us." Qi Lingheng smiled and took Su Tang's hand, signaling her not to be nervous. He then got up and opened the door.

"grandmother."

"Well, why are you still hiding it from me? My granddaughter-in-law is here, so why shouldn't I see her?" As he spoke, a dignified and kind old lady walked in, supported by a nanny.

When Old Madam Qi saw Su Tang, she nodded with satisfaction, "This must be the person Ling Heng always mentions."

"Hello, old lady." Su Tang bowed to the person in front of her.

"Well, our family are all military generals, so we don't have so many etiquettes. Come here and let me take a closer look." Old Madam Qi didn't seem to be dissatisfied with Su Tang's address. She walked to Su Tang, took Su Tang's hand and patted it gently.

In the sunlight, Old Madam Qi carefully examined Su Tang's face. After looking at it for a while, she said to the old nanny who helped her into the room, "I came in a hurry just now. Juanhong, go to my room and get the green jade headpiece."

The old nanny named Juanhong glanced at the old lady, then responded and left.

At this moment, only Su Tang, Qi Lingheng and Old Madam Qi were left in the room.

Madam Qi sighed, as if lamenting the fickleness of fate, "I didn't expect that I would meet Concubine Su's daughter."

Madam Qi said this in the affirmative, which means she must have met Concubine Su.

Come to think of it, several generations of the Qi family have been soldiers fighting for the country and guarding the northern border. Old Madam Qi must have attended the palace banquet earlier.

At that time, Imperial Concubine Su was extremely popular, and most noble ladies should have seen Imperial Concubine Su.

Su Tang and Concubine Su look like two peas in a pod. If these old people are not too senile, it would be strange if they don't recognize Su Tang when they see her.

After listening to what Old Madam Qi said, Qi Lingheng finally understood why he felt that Su Tang was somewhat similar to the Second Prince when he looked at her just now.

The second prince is the son of Concubine Su, so it’s nothing that Su Tang resembles the second prince.

"Yes, I am the daughter of Concubine Su and Emperor Jing." Since she had been recognized by someone who was familiar with Concubine Su, Su Tang did not intend to deny it anymore.

However, Su Tang only said that she went to Beijing with others to treat the Second Prince, and that was why she was recognized by the nanny beside the Second Prince.

She had just met the Second Prince and had no idea why she was stranded outside.

As for whether Emperor Jing knew her, she had no idea.

After hearing what Su Tang said, Qi Lingheng walked up to Su Tang and took Su Tang's hand and shook it.

No matter what difficulties and obstacles Su Tang encounters in the future, he will definitely accompany her through it all.

Old Madam Qi thought more than Qi Lingheng and the others. She knew how favored Concubine Su was before, but such a favored concubine eventually fell into the abyss of the imperial palace.

It seems that Concubine Su's family in Dayong are all business people, and they have no connections in the court. Having wealth and the emperor's favor can only accelerate her decline into the abyss of death.

From the way Su Tang addressed her, Old Madam Qi could tell that the relationship between Su Tang and Qi Lingheng didn't seem to be as good as Qi Lingheng said.

Perhaps it was just that Su Tang and Qi Lingheng's relationship in Beijing had not yet been made public. After all, the engagement between Su Tang and Qi Lingheng in the countryside was not valid in the eyes of the aristocratic families.

Thinking of this, Madam Qi smiled and said to Su Tang, "Aren't you going to announce your marriage to Lingheng in the capital? The Qi family can marry you with three matchmakers and six betrothals. If he dares to do you wrong, I will break his legs and you will lock him up at home."

Su Tang couldn't help laughing when she heard Madam Qi's shocking words. "Haha, it's not that I don't want to announce our affairs to the public, but the situation here is a bit complicated. I want to see the situation in Beijing clearly before making any plans."

What Su Tang didn’t say was that she didn’t like life in Beijing.

Although the capital is prosperous, behind the prosperity lies a complex conspiracy of power. Su Tang does not like this kind of treacherous environment. If possible, she would prefer to live in the countryside.

Of course, there are also weirdos like Li Fuxiu in the countryside, but those people are much easier to deal with than the smiling tigers in Beijing.

"Then you guys can do whatever you want. I won't get involved. But you look exactly like Concubine Su when she was young. There are many old guys like me in the capital. Since you still have concerns, you should wear a veil when necessary." Old Lady Qi expressed her thoughts.

"Well, I really didn't think of that." Su Tang nodded in agreement.

The three of them talked for a while in the room, all of which were about Madam Qi's concern for Su Tang.

After a while, the old nanny who was assigned by Madam Qi to get the jade headdress returned.

"This headdress is a gift for our first meeting. Thank you for taking care of Ling Heng back then." Old Madam Qi took the box brought by the old nanny, held it in front of Su Tang with both hands, bowed slightly and saluted.

"You are embarrassing me, please stop doing this." Su Tang hurried to help Old Madam Qi.

"It's my duty." Mrs. Qi said with a smile after being helped up by Su Tang.

"Hey, grandma, you scared Tangtang again."

"Tangtang, what a nice name. I'll follow Lingheng and call you Tangtang from now on."

"Okay."

"Okay, I won't disturb you guys anymore. But I heard that Tangtang was stopped by the guards at the door when she entered the mansion today. That's your fault." Now that she had met Su Tang, Old Madam Qi didn't plan to stay any longer. She knew that Su Tang came to see Qi Lingheng and she must have something to discuss.

After seeing off Old Madam Qi, Su Tang put the things that Old Madam Qi gave her into the space.

Qi Lingheng walked into the house and found a piece of gauze in a cabinet. He tore the gauze into the size of a veil, and then said awkwardly: "The edge of this gauze is too rough. I'd better go with you to the tailor shop to pick out a few pieces of tailored ones later."

Su Tang glanced at the veil and pulled it over without caring. "It's okay, use it first."

Since she has so many acquaintances in Beijing, Su Tang should start covering her face from now on.

Su Tang lowered her head and adjusted the gauze in her hand so that she could wear it when she went out later.

Qi Lingheng walked up to Su Tang and said, "Take Qi Feng with you. He used to be a secret guard, and not many people have seen him."

"No need. It's more convenient for him to stay in the dark. It would be inconvenient for me to act if there's a master following me." Su Tang shook her head.

"But you don't have internal strength, so you wouldn't know if someone got close to you."

"Have you forgotten what weapon I have?" Su Tang was referring to the infrared sensing weapon. With that thing in hand, no master could hide from it.

Qi Lingheng also understood what Su Tang meant, so he could only follow her wishes. "Okay, but if you have anything to do, come to the Dingguo Mansion. I've been in the mansion recently."
