A few days later, when the rumors were at its peak, Tang Xiaoshi quietly went out of the mansion and walked into a teahouse. Sitting behind a screen, she listened to the conversations of tea guests at the table for a long time. What happened to Yanyuan in a few days.

Wei'er whispered: "The rumors have spread like this?"

Tang Xiaoshi listened carefully to a few words with his ears pricked up, while several gentlemen on the other side of the screen behind him were discussing enthusiastically, with both contempt and regret for Mrs. Zhao Si in their tone.

"The number one beauty in Luoyang and the daughter of Marquis Anyuan, it is possible to marry into the palace in the future, but now it is completely ruined. With such jealousy and cruel methods, even a well-matched man can't marry , let alone climb up the royal family."

Another gentleman sighed with emotion: "Even if you marry, how many dare to marry? Not to mention her shamelessness, a little lady is so ruthless, whoever marries in the door, wouldn't it make the house restless? Me, I would rather marry a good-looking wife."

"That's right. Hey, tell me, how did Mrs. Zhao fall in love with Xun Erlang and do such a thing? I wouldn't be so shocked if it was any prince, even if it was a prince. The Xun family is not a duke. I have never heard of Xun Erlang's superiority."

"Although the Xun family is not a prince, General Xun is in control of the military. And Xun Erlang is not really ignorant, he is actually capable of both literature and martial arts. Among other things, he was able to beat Prince Zhao last year but was unable to get up. It can be seen that the skill is there."

"Besides, don't ladies like a young man who is white, clean, and handsome? Xun Erlang doesn't care about anything else, even his looks are enough for girls to be greedy."

Tang Xiaoshi curled her lips, Xun Erlang's looks... so it's okay!

On the contrary, it was unexpected that Zhao Shizi was beaten all over his body.The Marquis of Anyuan was also a family of military generals. Zhao Shizi saw that Kong Wu was powerful and hardworking, but he was beaten by Xun Erlang?

Underestimated him?

The scene of him hugging her onto the wooden platform in the lake that day appeared in her mind. She was seriously injured, but she still had such strength and held her so securely, she must have some foundation.

After listening to the rumors and rumors, she got up and went back home knowing the current direction of the rumors.

The carriage stopped in front of the Mu Mansion, and just as she got out of the carriage, she saw a carriage and horses parked beside it, and the driver of the Xun family was sitting in front of the carriage.

He went to the door and asked the guard, and learned that it was Xun Erlang who came over.

As soon as she entered the door and walked to the eaves of the corridor, she saw Xun Erlang and Mu Dalang walking along the corridor, talking and laughing.Xun Erlang looked a little lighter than the previous days, but he was in good spirits, not like he had suffered from an illness or injury a few days ago.

She turned around and was about to go back to her yard along the corridor on the other side. She stopped just after taking a step, and turned around to wait for the two people on the opposite side to approach.

"Sister Yue is back." Mu Dalang said with a smile.

"Yes." She glanced at Xun Erlang.

Xun Erlang grinned deliberately and pulled out a smirk, with a cynical expression on his face.

He rolled his eyes inwardly, but still gave a slight salute and said politely: "Yan Yuan thanked Erlang for saving that day."

"and then?"

Then?Tang Xiaoshi was stunned, stunned, and fixedly looked at him: What's next?

Xun Erlang smiled and reminded: "I saved you, don't you just say thank you? There is no other expression?"

Tang Xiaoshi sneered, pushing an inch.

"What do you want to express?"

He stroked his chin and thought for a while, "Why don't you promise me with your body."

Sure enough, the frivolous gentleman did not wrong him!She escaped from marriage some time ago, but now she still dares to say this.

She restrained her anger, and her words were still full of sullenness: "An ugly girl like me can't enter your Xun family." She rushed forward two steps and stretched her hand forward, "Return the jade pendant of my Mu family."

Xun Erlang subconsciously covered his heart: "There is no reason to go back what I gave away, not to mention that it was given to me by Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu, so why do you want to go back?"

"Because you humiliated me first, then escaped marriage; because you didn't keep your promises, and broke your promises."

"I..." He was at a loss for words, and looked at Mu Dalang for help.

Mu Dalang saw that Tang Xiaoshi didn't look like a joke, but was serious, this kind of thing is not a joke.He took a step forward and was about to persuade him, but Tang Xiaoshi interrupted him.

"Xun Lan, what do you think of me? Don't marry if you don't want to marry, marry if you want to marry? Once you escaped from marriage and left, how many criticisms did the Mu family and I bear? Is this how you humiliate the Mu family? You are too defiant." Already!"

When Mu Dalang heard this, he was also a little bit angry in his heart, so he didn't speak anymore.

Seeing that there was nowhere to ask for help, Xun Lan simply admitted his mistake: "I ran away from marriage, I was at fault, but I..."

"Bring it!" She stretched her hand forward.

Xun Erlang glanced at her tender palm, and unconsciously took a step back.

"Miss Mu, I don't know how those rumors got out. I didn't mean to humiliate you."

Tang Xiaoshi didn't believe it, and didn't want to hear his justification. Seeing that he didn't want to return the jade pendant, she stared at his covered heart for a moment, and told the servant of the Hang family next to her: "Go and grab the things."

The servants were astonished, and they all asked again and looked at her.

"Go!" she urged urgently.

A few servants stepped forward hesitantly.

Xun Erlang took two steps back and complained, "How can you rob me by force?"

Tang Xiaoshi just urged the servant to hurry up.

The little servant dared not disobey the order, so he stepped forward and used violence.

Seeing this, Xun Erlang immediately jumped from the corridor to the courtyard, dodged the servants, and shouted: "You bully the less with the more, let me tell you, I will be your wife's husband in the future, if you dare to be disrespectful, I will take care of you one by one." for you."

The boy didn't dare to be tough at first, but he was even more considerate when he heard the words.

Tang Xiaoshi angrily pointed at Xun Erlang and couldn't speak, there is such a shameless and shameless gentleman.

"If you don't take the jade pendant from him today, I'll take care of you first." She reprimanded the boy.

Hearing this, the boy dared not neglect.Although the lady is usually sympathetic to the servants, the gentleman loves the lady the most. If he displeases the lady, the gentleman will definitely not spare them lightly, so they have enough ability to grab it.

Xun Erlang was chased and ran all over the yard, sometimes jumping to the corridor, sometimes onto the water platform, and sometimes into the yard, but the boy couldn't catch up and catch him, he was so tired that he was out of breath.

"Miss, I admit my mistake." Xun Erlang explained while jumping up and down to avoid the boy, "Before I complained a few words about your appearance, but I just said that you were young, and I didn't say what you look like now. How, and I only mentioned it to my family in the mansion, and never told outsiders. Besides, you were really not good-looking when you were young..."

Is this an apology?

This is forced sophistry!To scold her again!Unrepentant!

She was so angry that she pointed at Xun Erlang and ordered to the boy: "Catch him and beat him hard."

"Miss, can you spare me, I'm still injured, I won't have the strength to run again."

Mu Dalang watched from the side, and couldn't help frowning a lot, he couldn't laugh or cry, what's the matter!

How dignified is it that a dignified man from the general's mansion is chased like a mouse all over the yard in his Mu mansion.

"Sister Yue, please stop, I will tell Erlang."

Tang Xiaoshi has been irritated by Xun Erlang again, and she doesn't let go.

He had no choice but to yell "stop" at the servant, but the servant of the Hang family didn't listen to his order at all.

"Stop!" There was a shout from the hallway, and the servant immediately stopped his movements, bowed his head and stepped back to one side.

Hang Rui walked over from the hallway, Xun Erlang ran over immediately, threw himself on Hang Rui head-on, hugged him and pretended to cry and shouted: "Cousin, help me, the lady is going to hit me."

Hang Rui froze in shock and froze in place, letting Xun Erlang hug him in his arms.It took a while to react, and suddenly pushed Xun Erlang away, and immediately patted his lapel.

"Second cousin, take back the engagement jade pendant on his body."

Hearing this, Xun Erlang turned around and jumped into the corridor beside him, shouting, "Don't bully the widowed, I won't give it to you."

"Xun Lan, do you want to be ashamed?"

"No more." The answer was flat.

Tang Xiaoshi's face turned blue and white with anger.

Hang Rui walked to Tang Xiaoshi's side to comfort him, then turned to Xun Erlang and said, "Go back first!"

Xun Erlang immediately grinned at the two of them: "Then I'm leaving, I'll come back tomorrow." He walked along the corridor towards the outside of the mansion.

Mu Dalang sent him out of the house.

Tang Xiaoshi angrily pushed Hang Rui away and headed towards the Tibetan Cloud Courtyard.

Walking to the wooden pavilion, he kicked a few times towards the pavilion pillars.

Hang Rui sighed and came forward, sat down at a table beside him, and asked with a helpless smile, "I want to retire so much, why don't I want to see Xun Erlang so much?"

"Second cousin, you saw it just now, what kind of person is he, do you really want me to marry him?"

"He is usually stubborn, but he is calm when things happen. After Mrs. Zhao's incident, I asked someone to investigate the matter of his resignation because of your ugly appearance. There is indeed some misunderstanding."

"He just admitted it with his own mouth. What misunderstanding is there? If he hadn't said it, how could it have spread at this time? How could General Xun and his wife feel guilty?"

Hang Rui pointed to the seat next to her, told her to sit down first, and poured her a cup of tea to calm her down.

"He did say that you were ugly when you were young, and if you don't want to marry you, you will escape marriage if you go to Tanzhou." He explained, "But he only said these words to General Xun and his wife, and never mentioned them to others. And. Think about it, he can bear the grievances for Mrs. Zhao's boudoir reputation, how could he deliberately slander the reputation of his fiancée."

Tang Xiaoshi thought about it, and this point can be explained, but in the teahouse that day, she heard him arrange her with her own ears.Although he was telling the truth, wouldn't it be considered mocking to speak of her in front of outsiders?

Hang Rui continued: "Do you know where those rumors come from?"

She looked at him questioningly.

"It came from Mrs. Mu San."

"Mujia?"

"Yes! I have been curious about this for the past few days. I always felt that Xun Erlang should not be able to do this, so I ordered people to use methods to inquire everywhere, and learned from the maidservant next to Mrs. Mu."

She knew that Mu Jia liked Xun Erlang, but she didn't expect that she would do such a despicable thing, she punched the table with her fist in anger, and the teacup knocked a few times.

Hang Rui was silent for a moment, then patted her on the shoulder to persuade her: "She is from the Mu family, no matter what method you use to vent your anger, don't damage the reputation of the Mu family, neither Aweng Aye nor the late aunt and uncle would like that .”

She knew that Hang Rui was worried that she would impulsively use the method against Mrs. Zhao on Mu Jia, so she nodded.
