This guy always talks about engagement. Tang Qiyue has heard it countless times. From being nervous and uneasy at the beginning to being calm now, she has become used to it!

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Xie Changjin immediately stopped Da Mao and asked, "Are you... unwilling?"

Tang Qiyue looked at him, "It's not that I don't want to, I just think... it's a little early."

To be honest, she had thought about engagement before, but not now.

Xie Changjin saw the hesitation in her eyes and curled his lips, "Qiyue, I never told you that I came from Beijing."

"I know this even if you don't tell me." Tang Qiyue nodded. "When I first met you, I knew you had an extraordinary background from the four black-clad guards around you. That's why I picked you up when you were injured."

She didn't mention the first time they met, which was on a barren mountain when she took a hundred taels of silver from the man.

Xie Changjin rubbed her head, "Are you planning to pick me up and cheat me out of some money?"

Tang Qiyue stuck out her tongue after her little trick was exposed. "I guess so. It was because I was poor at that time."

It was obvious that this man was either rich or noble. Even though his face was injured, his aura was still there. Moreover, there were secret guards outside his yard, which made Tang Qiyue even more certain that he had an extraordinary identity.

"Naughty!" Xie Changjin didn't care where they were at the moment. He was eager to do something and kissed Tang Qiyue's lips and bit her lightly.

"Why do you always bite people?" She was beginning to doubt this guy. Did he have a rich love history? Otherwise, how could he be so familiar with him?

There were some things Xie Changjin couldn't explain too clearly right now. He could only pat Tang Qiyue's head soothingly, "My bad."

This guy admitted his mistake so well that Tang Qiyue immediately lost her anger and said, "Hurry up and get in the car."

The two of them didn't fight or quarrel any more along the way.

Tang Qiyue stared at the trees and grass passing by on both sides in a daze. The cousin that the woman in red mentioned last time must be him.

It seems that I have to work harder to avoid the situation in the future where Xie Changjin's mother throws a stack of banknotes in my face and asks me to leave her son.

At this time, in the Wu'an Marquis Mansion in the capital.

"Since you already know where our son is, why don't you send someone to bring him back? I haven't seen him for so long, I don't know if he has lost weight or what!" Song Wanyu looked at Wu Anhou with dissatisfaction, her eyes full of tears.

"Madam, our son has guards around him. You know his kung fu, no one can hurt him. He is not in a hurry to come back, so he must have something to do."

"What have you been doing that has kept you away from home for so long? I see that you and your son are the same. You only know how to do this and that, and you don't care about me as your wife and mother."

Song Wanyu became more and more unhappy as she spoke. "At the beginning, I said I wanted to have another daughter, but you didn't want me to. Now we only have one son, and he's not at home all day. You're not at home either. I'm so lonely!"

In the eyes of a group of ladies in the capital, Song Wanyu has always been generous, gentle and tough, but now she is just a mother who misses her son.

"Madam, rest assured. I will bring that brat back as soon as possible and then beat him up to vent your anger, okay?"

"You dare! Just try to touch my son?" Song Wanyu immediately became angry and glared at Wu Anhou.

Wu Anhou touched his nose guiltily, "Alas! My son is not obedient, I can't beat him or scold him, my wife is distressed."

"Tell me where my son is. I'll go see him myself." As a mother, Song Wanyu could never feel at ease until she saw that Xie Changjin was safe and sound.

Marquis Wu'an was hesitant.

"Will you tell me or not? If you don't, you are not allowed to enter my room for three days! Go sleep in your study!"

"No, ma'am! I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"

As soon as Xie Mingzhu returned to the capital, Emperor Yongqing put her in solitary confinement for a month because she had left the city without permission, which made her very angry.

"Haruji!"

Chunzhi hurried over with a fruit plate, "Your Highness!"

"You must immediately send someone to Linjiang Town to search for me carefully. I don't believe that my cousin is not there!"

Chunzhi looked embarrassed, "Your Highness, the Queen has detained everyone around you, I'm afraid..."

"What! What is mother going to do?" Xie Mingzhu stood up suddenly with a look of disbelief.

Her mother had always loved her, and she was her father's first daughter, so how could...

Here, Xie Changjin had no idea that his own mother was already packing up her belongings and heading to Linjiang Town. He was accompanying Tang Qiyue to the dental clinic to pick someone out.

"Did you two come here today to choose a house or servants who can do the work?" When the pawnbroker saw the two people who came in with extraordinary temperament, he quickly handed the guest in his hand to others and came over to receive them personally.

Tang Qiyue looked around the layout of the dental shop. It was actually similar to a small restaurant, but not as lively and crowded as a restaurant. It was said that people who sold to the dental shop were all in the backyard. If they couldn't sell their goods, they would work in the dental shop until they sold them.

"Bring here a woman from your dental practice who can work and cook, is honest, and can read a few words."

Upon hearing that this was the kind of person Tang Qiyue wanted, the manager of the pawnshop thought for a moment and went to get the person immediately.

Not to mention, there are quite a few people like this in the dental industry.

Most of them worked for wealthy families, and were sold out because they offended their masters for some trivial matter.

Tang Qiyue glanced at the dozen or so women of different heights, weights and bodies in front of her, and suddenly her eyes fixed.

Among them was a thin woman with a slender figure looking at a little girl. Wasn't she the mother and daughter of the Xia family whom we met on the way to escape famine that day?

Why are they here?

It had been so long that Tang Qiyue had forgotten about the mother and daughter. She didn't expect that they were so lucky and survived.

Seeing that Tang Qiyue was staring at the group of people in front of her without saying anything, the manager of the dental clinic was worried that today's business would be ruined, so he immediately asked, "Miss, is there anything here that you like?"

Tang Qiyue came back to her senses and stopped looking at the Xia mother and daughter. "No hurry."

"Of course I will carefully select the people who buy it back." Her voice was not low enough for almost everyone to hear.

Xia felt that the voice was quite familiar. She looked up suddenly and saw Tang Qiyue's familiar face. The strength of her hand holding Lihua's thin claws suddenly increased.

Lihua whimpered in pain, "Mom, my hand hurts!"

"Bear with it!" Xia hurriedly let go of her hand, lowered her head and stopped looking at Tang Qiyue. Her eyes were filled with anger and hatred.

It was all because of this bitch. If she hadn't been unwilling to take them with her, why would she and Lihua have suffered so much on the road to escape? And how could they have been tricked into being sold to this toothless shop!

It’s all the fault of that bitch Tang Qiyue, why hasn’t she died yet!

Xia looked up unwillingly again, but suddenly met Tang Qiyue's smiling eyes, which frightened her so much that she kept dodging his gaze.
