After agreeing to Cui Yuanzhao's request to become sworn brothers, the prime minister's son became extremely excited.
He completely disregarded the presence of other people around him and couldn't wait to start dancing and gesturing wildly.
Looking at his young master in this state, Zhang Da felt quite emotional.
After finally getting Cui Yuanzhao drunk, Tang Huan finally found a chance to leave.
He earnestly instructed Zhang Da, "Since Yuan Zhao is drunk, take him home quickly. Don't take him to any shady places. If anything happens, I'll hold you responsible!"
Zhang Da felt wronged. What kind of place could be less than thirty-four? Even if there was, it would only be the Chunfeng Pavilion, a place any man would go to.
But when facing Tang Huan, the magistrate of Qihuai County and now Cui Yuanzhao's sworn brother, Zhang Da didn't dare to utter a single word of dissent, nodding vigorously in agreement.
"Okay, take him back quickly and let him get some rest."
After seeing Zhang Da and Cui Yuanzhao off, Tang Huan breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in her chair.
"It's truly unexpected that Cui Yuanzhao would become your sworn brother."
Tang Huan didn't care about Qin Yu's question. "I have such great personal charm that many people want to become sworn brothers with me but don't have the chance. If it weren't for the fact that Cui Yuanzhao is the prime minister's son, I wouldn't even agree to let him lick my shoes."
Having this identity provides a certain level of protection.
At least some people who want to secretly deal with me should think twice about whether they are qualified; they'll have to get past Cui Yuanzhao first.
This means they will have to face Cui Renshi, who is even more difficult to deal with than Tang Huan.
Tang Huan believed that no one would go to such great lengths to make things difficult.
"Go back and rest. Cui Yuanzhao's alcohol tolerance is really good. I need to take a nap to calm down."
Three meals a day, early to bed and early to rise, plus an afternoon nap.
In addition, there is daily exercise.
Even though he had long since become a hidden tycoon in Qihuai County, Tang Huan did not slack off in the slightest and still strictly demanded of himself at all times.
Make sure you have a healthy body.
While Tang Huan went for her lunch break, Qin Yu, having nothing to do, began to wander around the house.
Having only been there for one day, and still unfamiliar with many places, I took the opportunity to wander around.
"That is..."
Qin Yu suddenly stopped and looked at a mark on the red lacquered wooden pillar in front of him with great solemnity.
After quickly glancing around to make sure Li Daikui wasn't nearby, Qin Yu strode over.
She carefully examined the symbol above, her expression subtly shifting, unable to conceal her excitement.
"Xue Qi came here?"
That was a secret code used by the remnants of the Qin army to communicate privately. The one in front of her had been slightly modified and was used specifically for communication between her and Xue Qi.
Qin Yu looked up blankly, trying to find a figure that had appeared in the courtyard before, but he couldn't see anything.
She had no idea when Xue Qi had come.
However, the presence of the symbol reassured Qin Yu somewhat. They had been separated in Kuizhou a month ago.
I wonder how they've all been doing lately. I imagine Xue Qi has gone to great lengths to find me.
"I need to find a chance to see him..."
Qin Yu did not forget her identity; she was not only Tang Huan's personal maid, but also the princess of the fallen Qin Dynasty.
She carried the weight of national and personal grievances on her shoulders; this was her mission.
Qin Yu quietly destroyed the communication symbol and returned to the main courtyard. Suddenly, he saw a figure sneaking around the gate.
"Oh dear, I can't see anyone. Is he not home?"
Jia Yu leaned against the gate, looking somewhat hesitant.
The door was open, but no one could be seen.
He touched the letter on his sleeve, his expression turning serious.
"No, the young master personally instructed me to deliver the invitation to Tang Huan. We absolutely cannot let things go wrong."
Jia Yu lifted his foot, ready to step inside, but then he remembered Tang Huan and Li Dai Kui's crude appearance and became somewhat afraid.
If I go in without notifying anyone, they will probably find many excuses to attack me.
Peeking out again, Jia Yu became even more hesitant.
Suddenly, a black dot rapidly expanded in front of him, and then Jia Yu felt a sharp pain in the bridge of his nose, and his whole body fell backward.
"who?"
Jia Yu hurriedly got up from the ground, covering his nose with one hand while cautiously looking at his face.
"So it was you. What are you up to, sneaking around like this?" Qin Yu stepped out, showing no goodwill towards Jia Yu and behaving extremely rudely.
Upon seeing that it was Qin Yu, Jia Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief, thinking that this beautiful woman should be easier to get along with.
After feeling the pain in his nose and the blood on his hands, Jia Yu couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Noticing that Qin Yu was looking him up and down warily, Jia Yu quickly called out loudly:
"I have important business to attend to today. Please inform Lord Tang that I have come for Young Master Lei."
"You came here for Lei Yan? The master won't see you. Get lost now."
Jia Yu was somewhat skeptical. He had already said that he came on official business, so Tang Huan shouldn't be acting so recklessly, right?
He smiled awkwardly and said, "Lord Lei is also aware of this matter and specifically instructed me that the matter must not be lost."
Qin Yu raised an eyebrow. "Are you threatening me?"
"No, no, I wouldn't dare." Jia Yu sensed Qin Yu's growing malice and could only quickly clarify, "Please inform them, so as not to put me in a difficult position."
Qin Yu was too lazy to stand up for Tang Huan, and glanced at Jia Yu with disdain, "Come in with me."
She led the person to the outside of Tang Huan's room where she was taking a nap, knocked hard on the window, and then shouted loudly, "Tang Huan, wake up quickly, someone is here to see you!"
Not content with just one shout, he continued to urge them loudly.
This scene terrified Jia Yu. How could a maid dare to act so recklessly? Just what kind of person was Tang Huan?
If anyone from the Minister's mansion dared to do that, they would lose their heads in the next moment.
With a loud thud, the door was pushed open forcefully.
Tang Huan walked out angrily, "If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute. But watch out, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
Qin Yu wasn't afraid at all. He puffed out his chest and said, "It's not my fault. He's the one who sent me to find you."
Tang Huan looked at Jia Yu, and that gloomy gaze made Jia Yu's legs go weak, and he involuntarily knelt on the ground.
"Lord Tang, Young Master Lei has specially invited you to the poetry gathering on the lake in three days. Many talented young men from the capital will be there. We hope you will do us the honor of attending..."
His voice trembled as he spoke, clearly indicating that Tang Huan had left a deep scar on Jia Yu.
After saying that, Jia Yu took the letter out of his sleeve.
"This is a handwritten letter from the young master, along with the seal of the Minister's Mansion. The poetry gathering will be under strict security; no one can get close without an invitation."
Tang Huan didn't accept the invitation. "Invitation? I'm not going. Go back now."
Jia Yu looked worried; if he couldn't find anyone, he would be in big trouble.
"Lord Tang, the young master and I have put in a lot of effort for this matter, and even the establishment of a martial law around the lake took a lot of work. We would be grateful if you would do us the honor of doing us the honor."
Tang Huan snatched the letter away. "The Lei family certainly has a big budget."
