Chapter 213: The Willing One Takes the Bait
These words soon reached the ears of the head of the Cheng family.
Cheng Anran said slowly: "No wonder she was so cold at that time, so this is the case. But, uncle, what they think is reasonable."
It was not right for the Cheng family head to be sullen or smiling at this simple-minded niece. Cheng Anjing took over the conversation: "An Ran, we have been looking for your aunt, but there is really no news."
She curled her lips and didn't answer.
Cheng Anping patted her head and said, "Think about our ancestor. He's been looking for our great-aunt for so long, but there's still no news. This really isn't something that can be solved simply by trying hard or not."
"That's different!" Cheng Anran retorted, "My great-aunt has been missing for two hundred years. Maybe she's already..."
"An Ran!" The head of the Cheng family suddenly raised his voice.
She was startled and lowered her head and whispered, "Uncle, I was wrong."
"An Ran, you absolutely cannot say such things, especially in front of our ancestors, understand?"
She nodded: "Yeah."
The second young master said at this time: "Uncle, please rest assured, An Yue will take care of An Ran."
Uncle Cheng sighed and stopped talking.
Cheng Anping said, "Father, Miss Tao's master saved the two ladies, and they brought the news back. No matter what, we should reward them."
The head of the Cheng family replied, "Father has already sent people to investigate the truth of this matter. If it is true, he will naturally reward you. Anping, you are getting married tomorrow, so don't worry about these things, just prepare for your wedding."
"Yes, father."
After the Cheng family head left, the eldest son of the Cheng family looked at Cheng Anyue and said, "Second brother, can we talk?"
"good."
The two of them also left together, leaving only the two sisters.
Cheng Anran was still as carefree as ever, even winking at her sister: "Big sister, you've also met Sister Tao, what do you think of her figure?"
Cheng Anping was helpless and sighed: "An Ran, your second brother's marriage has been decided and there is no possibility of changing it."
"ah……"
She lowered her head in disappointment. The elder sister touched her head and said gently, "An Ran, there are many things involved. It's not as simple as you think. Don't worry too much. Just practice happily."
She nodded languidly, "Okay."
At this time, Xi Jing and the others had already gone out shopping.
Hua Seng accompanied Xi Jing and the others to inquire about the auction and Master Li Xiu, and Li Xiu accompanied Tao Zi to the letter office to inquire about the news.
Watching Li Xiu and Tao Zi walk away, Han Yueshan suddenly felt something was wrong: "Hey, why is it always Fellow Daoist Li who accompanies Senior Sister?"
“That’s right!”
Xi Jing and the others were also stunned.
The Flower Monk made a wild guess: "Could it be a lover?"
Han Yueshan immediately said, "Ugh! Impossible! With someone like that, how can he be worthy of Senior Sister?"
Zhao Xue said seriously, "To be fair, Senior Brother Li is good-looking, although a little duller than Senior Sister."
The Flower Monk looked over there thoughtfully, muttering to himself, "Is this what they call love growing over time? Hey, could my love life be like this too?"
In an instant, everyone's eyes were on Xi Jing.
She deadpanned, "I'm not interested in monks."
The Flower Monk said seriously, "I mean, my so-called love tribulation wouldn't be falling in love with a married woman, right? Although I haven't seen Daoist Friend Tao's true appearance, from what I saw that time, he must be quite beautiful."
They looked at him quietly.
After a long time, Zhao Xue slowly said, "Actually, Xi Jing is also very beautiful."
Two men fighting over one woman, how ugly.
Xi Jing kicked him and said, "Bah, who would value this kind of relationship?"
Everyone left in a noisy manner.
If Li Xiu heard that speculation, he would definitely roll his eyes.
If these three brothers and sisters were not so stupid and refused to doubt the identity of their senior sister, would he have risked being silenced to run around with Tao Zi?
He is showing his loyalty!
At this time, the letter director took out a list filled with names and said, "All the storytellers who are willing to come are on it."
Tao Zi casually asked, "Do you have anyone to recommend?"
The man said respectfully, "There are three."
He introduced the first two people in detail. They were all popular storytellers in various teahouses and were all rising stars.
Li Xiu asked for her, "What about the third one?"
"The third one is Mr. Shou Xu. He is quite famous, but he hasn't lectured for three years. His strength is uncertain."
Tao Zi smiled: "I've heard of his reputation. Didn't he quit storytelling a long time ago?"
The man smiled slightly and said, "As a human being, you never have enough money to spend."
Li Xiu said casually: "Then it's him."
"When and where?"
Tao Zi gave a location and said, "The time will be set in three days."
"Can."
After getting away from Xin, Li Xiu said, "It really is a case of willing people taking the bait."
Tao Zi replied calmly, "He's always been extravagant with his money, so he has no choice but to do it."
He suddenly fell silent for a long time.
"Why is it so quiet?"
Li Xiu slowly exhaled and lowered her voice to ask, "Tao Mei, tell me the truth. You won't kill me, right?"
"Um?"
"You always reveal various things to me intentionally or unintentionally. I'm a little scared."
Tao Zi was speechless, but still joked: "You know enough, it doesn't matter if you know more. If it really doesn't work, don't think too much."
Li Xiu looked at the snacks on the street, feeling desolate inside, and suddenly envied the silly Han Yueshan and the others.
Tao Zi smiled and shook her head, saying, "Don't worry, as long as you don't stand on my side of the enemy, I won't attack you."
Li Xiu breathed a sigh of relief: "With your words, I feel relieved."
As for who the enemy was, he was stupid enough to ask.
When the next day came, the entire Cheng Mansion was bustling with activity, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard everywhere.
Xi Jing covered her ears and said, "Do mortals set off so many firecrackers when they get married?"
Li Xiu shook her head: "It should just be the rules of the Cheng Mansion."
Fortunately, the sound of firecrackers stopped.
Tao Zi waved towards Xi Jing.
"Senior Sister, what's wrong?" She jumped over.
"Both emotionally and logically, we both need some makeup. You can paint a few fresh talismans and send them over."
The fresh talisman… exudes a perfunctory air.
"Okay."
Xi Jing's paintings are particularly casual.
The flower monk hesitated and said, "This is a serious matter for others. It's not good for you to be so perfunctory, right?"
Zhao Xue Buyu said, "Oh, that's good enough. Besides, they have a big family and a big business, so they don't need our little things."
Han Yueshan and Tao Zi looked over in surprise. They didn't expect that Zhao Xue, who was always polite, would say such a thing.
Zhao Xue noticed their gazes and her ears turned red. "I just think their attitude towards Grandma Huang is a bit perfunctory."
Xi Jing snorted: "It's either a feeling or a perfunctory response. Otherwise, I should have found Grandma Huang a long time ago."
