Chapter 14: The aroma of tea overflows with small green tea

Xie Yanqing was silent.

It was indeed he who rescued Dai Qing at the border. After rescuing her, he originally wanted to send her home, but Dai Qing said that all her family members died in the war and she was alone and helpless and just wanted a place to settle down. In the end, Xie Yan Qing softened his heart and let Dai Qing enter the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery as a personal maid.

even……

Before returning to Beijing, Xie Yanqing did mention to his father that he wanted his father to adopt Daiqing as his adopted daughter. When he returned to Beijing, he would help Daiqing find a reliable family in the capital so that she could live a stable life.

He didn't even tell the Jiang brothers about this matter, but... Jiang Yueyao knew that Dai Qing would soon be his stepsister.

What Jiang Yueyao said about Dai Qing being a spy from Beiliang...

Xie Yanqing took a breath of cold air.

Ever since he heard Jiang Yueyao's thoughts at the Jiang family last time, he has been arranging people to investigate.

So far, no slanderous letters or weapons or armor have been found, but... maybe it's just because they just returned to Beijing and everything is being settled, making it difficult for the other party to take action.

But this is better... they can keep an eye on the manor outside Beijing and their father's study to see who is trying to frame them.

I didn’t expect…

This person turned out to be Dai Qing.

Not true.

Xie Yanqing shook his head.

Dai Qing definitely can't do so many things by herself, she has a master behind her!

We must follow Dai Qing and find the person who really wants to frame their Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion!

Xie Yanqing took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to take Dai Qing down immediately.

On the other side...

When Jiang Yuehua heard Jiang Yueyao's inner voice, a silver needle appeared in her hand.

This person... is the one who framed the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.

Still a Northern Liang spy.

Why not kill them and keep them for the New Year?!

However……

Before Jiang Yuehua used the silver needle, she suddenly noticed Xie Yanqing's expression.

Jiang Yuehua and Xie Yanqing can be considered childhood sweethearts, and there is a slight ambiguity between them, so... Jiang Yuehua understood Xie Yanqing's expression at a glance.

It was a look of... shock, understanding, and hatred mixed together, and then... it was the look of a hunter staring at his prey.

Why did Xie Yanqing suddenly look at Dai Qing like this?

Could it be that...

He can also hear his sister's thoughts? !

Jiang Yuehua was shocked.

I thought I was the only one who could hear my sister's thoughts, but I didn't expect... there was also Xie Yanqing.

That……

Xie Yanqing didn't take action because... he wanted to follow the clues to find the real culprit?

Jiang Yuehua silently took back her silver needle...

During this time, her silver needle seemed to appear frequently, and then quietly retracted...

"Sister, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Yueyao suddenly realized that her sister and Xie Yanqing were both silent, and the atmosphere was a little strange.

[Oh my god, could it be that my sister and Xie Yanqing really have a crush on each other? ]

[Silence between young lovers? ]

[No, my sister, wake up! ]

[We can’t have this kind of big pig’s trotter!!!]

"Ah? No, nothing."

Jiang Yuehua shook her head, "Yaoyao, don't you want to go to Zuixianlou? Sister will take you to try it."

She is not sure what attitude to adopt towards Xie Yanqing now, so she will talk about it slowly.

However……

How could Xie Yanqing bear to let his sweetheart go like this?

"Wait... Yuehua, you sisters are going to Zuixianlou? Why don't I treat you? I have a pot of Peach Blossom Drunk in Zuixianlou. I remember that you, Yuehua, like the taste of Peach Blossom Drunk the most."

Jiang Yuehua glanced at Dai Qing beside her and curled the corners of her mouth.

"Mr. Xie's wine is too precious. I'm afraid I can't afford it. Please treat someone else."

Xie Yanqing: …

No way, why did Yuehua's attitude suddenly change?

Just as he was about to speak again to persuade her to stay, Dai Qing beside him suddenly cried out "Ouch".

It seemed that she stumbled accidentally and fell into Xie Yanqing's arms subconsciously.

If it was before, Xie Yanqing would have subconsciously supported Dai Qing. After all, she had been serving him for so long, and he treated Dai Qing like a sister.

But now...

After listening to Jiang Yueyao's thoughts, Xie Yanqing looked at Daiqing with a different look.

Noticing the direction Dai Qing fell, Xie Yanqing slid away and dodged.

Dai Qing: ...I almost fell flat on my face.

In the end, I just managed to maintain my balance and didn't fall.

but……

Precisely because he didn't fall, the looks of Xie Yanqing and Jiang Yuehua beside him changed.

Dai Qing, it turns out she also knows kung fu, and that turning movement... For them who have been stationed at the border for several years, it is too familiar.

That is the customary action of the people in the north.

She is indeed Beiliang Xisaku!

Xie Yanqing and Jiang Yuehua once again affirmed Jiang Yueyao's voice.

Dai Qing had no idea that in just this short moment, she had been exposed.

At this moment, she looked at Xie Yanqing shyly.

"Sir, I didn't stand firmly... Fortunately, you didn't come to help me, otherwise Miss Jiang would have misunderstood... Ah, Miss Jiang, I, I mean, there is really nothing between you and me, please don't think too much."

[I’m going, I’m going, I’m going! ]

【Tea, green tea, big green tea, the fragrance of tea is overflowing! 】

[What I said is that my sister may not have misunderstood anything at first, but she will misunderstand after hearing what you said.]

[No wonder my sister and Xie Yanqing's relationship suddenly became distant. With such an unfaithful green tea girl around, it would be strange if they could have a close relationship.]

[By the way, what is this green tea thinking? She wants my sister to misunderstand Xie Yanqing so much. Could it be that this green tea really has her eyes on the big pig's hoof? ]

[Tsk, what a lack of taste]

Jiang Yueyao was amazed.

Over there, Dai Qing was still emitting the fragrance of green tea.

"Ms. Jiang, actually my son came to Treasure Pavilion today just to buy you a gift."

"The pearls I prepared for you last time were not to your liking. I heard that a batch of South China pearls had arrived at the Treasure Pavilion, so I came here to help select them. Miss Jiang, please stop blaming our young master, okay? In fact, the pearls we prepared before were also very precious."

Jiang Yueyao took out the melon seeds that she had just asked the maid to buy, and started cracking them with a crunching sound. She even used a small piece of paper to wrap the melon seed shells.

[Oh my god, this is the green tea method]

[On the surface, she was speaking for the big pig's hoof, but in reality, every word she said was a reminder to the big pig's hoof that my sister is a greedy person and thinks the pearls she gave him before were not valuable enough]

[Tsk tsk, it turns out that a soft knife kills people]

[But...could this Dai Qing be stupid? Doesn't she know that the pearls were given to me? ]

[Wow, my sister discovered the point. So, the big pig's trotter came to my house not to give me a gift, but to prepare something for my sister? ]

[As soon as he arrived in the capital, he rushed to give my sister a gift. He didn’t give away the pearls, but wanted to buy more precious South Pearls for my sister. Why did the big pig’s hoof move me a little? 】
