Stepping into the gate of Huaidefang, she once again noticed that there were two middle-aged men following behind her.Her heart tightened, Shi Cheng actually sent several waves of people at a time, it seemed that he really hated her and killed her quickly.
There are only a few pedestrians in the streets and alleys of the square at this time.She quickened her pace, and the two of them also followed up quickly, and their pace was faster than her, as if they were about to rush forward.
After chasing two shots away from the bearded beard, she started to trot, and she became even more nervous. When she reached the intersection, she saw a carriage approaching from the right, and immediately ran over to the carriage.
When the driver saw the oncoming lady, he hurriedly gave way, but the other party seemed to want to collide with her.Only a few steps away, the driver reined in panic when he saw that he couldn't escape, and the carriage bumped a few times and stopped.
Before the driver could get angry and scold her, she had rushed to the side of the car and hurriedly said: "Sir, help me, the two people behind are trying to kill me."
The ruler glanced at the two men who were following, he didn't look like a kind person, his eyes were fixed on the lady in front of him as she came, her hands behind her back seemed to be holding something.
"Miss, you should ask the patrol for help." He is just the driver, and the owner is still sitting in the car, so even if he wants to, he has no ability to help.
"Sir, they are pressing so hard that I don't have time to ask the patrol for help. Help me, sir, let me get in the car first, and you can put me down halfway."
"Miss, I'm sorry I can't do anything, you'd better get out of the way." The driver refused again, and at this time the two men had already come to the front.
Tang Xiaoshi glanced around, there was no one else, she climbed up to the carriage regardless, and the driver hurriedly stopped her.
"What's the matter?" A voice of inquiry came from inside the carriage, and then a maid poked her head out and was surprised to see Tang Xiaoshi, "Miss Li?"
Tang Xiaoshi also recognized that the other party was Madam Gao's maidservant, and hurriedly begged, "My lady, help me..."
Before the next words could be said, the bearded man and the crooked mouth had already rushed to the carriage, stretching out his hand to grab Tang Xiaoshi while nodding and bowing apologetically, "The little lady has a bad brain and offended the nobleman."
"Let go!" The maid pointed at the two of them and yelled angrily, "You guys are so courageous, you are robbing a good woman in broad daylight, you have lived enough!"
Both the beard and crooked mouth were startled.The bearded man reacted faster and immediately argued: "She is the villain's wife, not..."
"You're full of nonsense! How could Mrs. Li know such a picky thing like you? You still haven't let go! Believe it or not, I opened my mouth and shouted, and someone came to tie you up and send you to the official."
The two were taken aback for a moment. The other party knew Mrs. Li's surname, so they obviously knew each other.For a maidservant to have such an imposing manner, the master's family must be a noble family.Hastily glanced at the horses and chariots, the specifications were indeed not what ordinary family members of officials could afford to ride.There are many dignitaries living in Huaidefang.
Did it hit the tip of the knife?
The two felt trembling in their hearts, and the strength in their hands loosened unconsciously.
Tang Xiaoshi immediately broke away from them, and the maid continued to threaten: "If you don't leave, I will call someone."
The bearded man hesitated for a while, thinking whether he should take a gamble and forcibly drag him away. Even if the other party knew Mrs. Li, except for the driver, she was also a weak woman, and she couldn't stop them.Calling people doesn't necessarily mean calling people.
Just as he was thinking about it, he slapped him with his mouth twisted: "Someone is here."
The bearded man looked back, and sure enough there were a few men rushing over, and it seemed that they were coming towards them.Seeing this, the two turned around and ran away.
"Thank you, little lady." Tang Xiaoshi breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's Mrs. Li, you are lucky." The maid smiled.
A few people from behind rushed to the front, one of them was the man who was in contact with Huang Siniang - Tao Qilang's entourage.
After he gave a salute to Tang Xiaoshi, he hurriedly asked the maid: "Is Madam surprised?"
"No, thank you for coming."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoshi looked at the two suspiciously, did they know each other?
It seems that there is more than recognition.
At this time, a peaceful and warm voice came from inside the car: "Miss Li, is she surprised?" The car curtain was pulled open, revealing Mrs. Gao's elegant and lightly smiling face.
"Thank you Madam for your concern, and thanks to Madam and the young lady for your help. It's my concubine who was reckless just now and surprised Madam's car." She immediately apologized.
"No." She looked at Tang Xiaoshi and asked with a smile, "I don't know if Mrs. Li is free at this time, I have something to say to you."
Tang Xiaoshi hesitated for a while, then shook her head slightly: "It's nothing else."
"You might as well get in the car and talk."
She paused, and the maid had already reached out to help her.
As soon as she sat firmly, the carriage started to move. She looked out, and she was heading for Nanfangmen.Turning around, he saw Mrs. Gao was looking at her with a smile.
She smiled back and asked, "I don't know what orders Madam has?"
Mrs. Gao asked, "Are you wondering about my identity?"
She paused for a moment, then smiled and replied: "I was wondering just now, but now I think about it, Tao Shangshu's wife's mother's family name is Gao. The wife should be Tao Shangshu's wife."
Mrs. Gao nodded and smiled, and asked, "Do you know what I want to tell you?"
"I don't know, Madam, please speak."
Mrs. Gao sighed softly, stretched out her hand to hold her, and said with a faint smile, "Do you know why I asked you to help me design that set of golden hairpins?"
She might not be able to guess the reason when she didn't know her identity, but now that she knows her identity, everything is self-evident.
"It was Qilang who asked his wife to help me."
"It's only half right. The other half is because I also want to know what kind of lady you are."
Seeing Tang Xiaoshi's surprised and confused face, she didn't explain, and continued to ask: "You and Qilang have known each other since we were young, and now we have met again, what do you think of him?"
Hearing this, Tang Xiaoshi's heart skipped a beat. Why does this question mean a blind date introduction?Immediately, what Miss Tao said to her came to mind: He has someone in his heart, but that lady is already married.
All kinds of things that happened during this period, and all kinds of things Tao Qilang did, made her involuntarily put herself in the seat.
But how is this possible?She immediately denied this incredible conjecture in her heart.Li Danyi had no friendship with Tao Qilang when he was young, and strictly speaking, it was a bit of a festival.At that time, Tao Qilang didn't show any place that he liked Li Danyi.
She replied politely: "Tao Qilang is brilliant, young and promising, a rare young talent."
"Apart from these?"
She thought for a while and said: "Born from a noble family, with a handsome appearance."
"Not these."
She didn't answer again.
Mrs. Gao thought she couldn't remember what to say, so she reminded: "How did he treat you?"
This time Tang Xiaoshi can be sure that her guess just now is correct, the person Tao Xiaoniang said is Li Danyi.
She thought for a while, and organized her words: "He helped me a lot, and I am very grateful."
Mrs. Gao saw her slightly bowed head with a slightly embarrassed expression, she couldn't help laughing, and patted the back of her hand lightly: "You are a smart lady, you should understand it in your heart." She sighed, a little helplessly He sighed, "Qilang has always been decisive and steady in doing things, and he is polite in his advances and retreats, but he is always procrastinating and indecisive in his feelings. It is precisely because of this that he didn't dare to reveal it to the woman he liked back then, so he missed it."
With a little melancholy of being a mother, he continued: "He has been reluctant to continue to take concubines these years. At first, he used the excuse of losing his wife to mourn for him, but now it has been four years. Even if he stayed for three years, the funeral has passed, but It’s just that I still can’t let go.”
Sighed softly, and smiled softly: "Madam Li, do you understand?"
"I..." I understand, I understand, I am touched that he has cherished Li Danyi in my heart for so many years, and I am also grateful to him for helping her overtly and secretly during this time, but she has no affection for Tao Qilang, at most she treats him as an ordinary person Just friends.
"It's difficult for you." Mrs. Gao said.
She lowered her eyes and remained silent, which is not a problem.Reject it decisively, it seems that you are too unreasonable, if you don't refuse but you don't have that convenient feeling for the other party, you are deceiving the other party.
Mrs. Gao seemed to see through her mind, and persuaded her: "Now you are no longer a married woman, nor is he a married man, you might as well think about it. I won't force you, I want you to be willing .If you are not willing, he will be more sad than you. Back then, he was forced to marry a wife and let him be unhappy for so many years, and now the master and I will no longer interfere."
"Also, if he wants to help you protect you, you should ask him to help you. First, you are really in danger now, just like today, and it may happen again in the future. You must ask someone to protect you. Second, he is willing , you don’t have to feel indebted.”
Tang Xiaoshi didn't know what to say, she didn't expect that Mrs. Gao would be so transparent about her son's feelings and be able to give such great support.Such understanding is really extremely rare.
Mrs. Gao's last few words are right, she is indeed in danger now, if she hadn't met Mrs. Gao today, and Tao Qilang's entourage hadn't come, maybe the result would have been very bad.
"Thank you, madam, and Qilang, but..."
"Actually, I should thank you." Mrs. Gao's eyes were full of tenderness, and her smile was warm, "Since you left the historian, he seems to have changed. His words and deeds have become more energetic, and he loves to talk and laugh. I haven't seen him for many years." Seeing him like this. I know there's renewed hope in him."
Tang Xiaoshi was a little ashamed, and Tao Qilang was deeply affectionate, but she couldn't respond to him.
At this time the carriage stopped slowly, and the driver reported that he had arrived at the mansion.
Mrs. Gao also stopped to persuade, took her hand and got out of the car together. "Since you've come here, let's sit in the mansion. Jiu Niang was still talking about you this morning, saying that she misses you!"
It's hard to turn down hospitality, but it's disrespectful.In this way, Tang Xiaoshi was invited into the Tao Mansion by Mrs. Gao.
As soon as he sat down in the flower hall, Tao Qilang rushed over with a slightly flustered expression. After entering the door and saluting Mrs. Gao, he asked nervously, "Why did Aunt invite Mrs. Li over?" He looked worriedly at Tang Xiaoshi.
Mrs. Gao smiled and beckoned him to sit on the other side of the tea table, and teased him: "You are only allowed to like the jewelry designs designed by Mrs. Li, but you are not allowed to like your mother?"
Tao Qilang was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and then he understood what his mother meant, and his heart blossomed with joy.
There are only a few pedestrians in the streets and alleys of the square at this time.She quickened her pace, and the two of them also followed up quickly, and their pace was faster than her, as if they were about to rush forward.
After chasing two shots away from the bearded beard, she started to trot, and she became even more nervous. When she reached the intersection, she saw a carriage approaching from the right, and immediately ran over to the carriage.
