Just as the three of them were walking out of the tree-shaded hut talking and laughing, Xie Jian and the pale-faced Tang Zixing came out from the bushes nearby.
The two men were of similar height and had three-quarters similar faces, but Xie Jian's features were more severe and with distinct lines, while Tang Zixing was relatively gentle.
"This is my eldest sister-in-law and nephew. My eldest brother disappeared seven years ago and no one knows where he went. My eldest sister-in-law has been working hard to support this family. It is extremely difficult." Xie Jian glanced at Tang Zixing as he said this.
Although he and Yu Shi had signed a gentleman's agreement not to reveal the truth, Yu Shi's tricks were still not worthy of his attention.
Tang Zixing covered his forehead with one hand and rubbed it a few times.
"Lord Tang, what's wrong with you?" Xie Jian supported him. He felt guilty for even plotting against his elder brother.
The Master said that the Zhuyou technique should only be performed once every three years, so the next one would probably be another two years away. If we want the person behind this to reveal their true intentions again, we must stimulate Master Tang and make this technique ineffective, so that the person behind this will definitely perform the technique again.
"It's okay. My husband is sick." Tang Xingxing didn't know why, but seeing that the woman had not only a headache but also a pain in her heart, he asked, "You said your eldest brother disappeared seven years ago?"
"Yes." Xie Jian helped him sit down beside him.
"Seven years ago." Tang Zixing murmured.
"How did you get that scar on the back of Master Tang's head?" Xie Jian asked. Although his collar hid the scar, it was still faintly visible as he moved. The teacher had mentioned to him that his elder brother must have been seriously injured.
"My wife said that I was attacked from behind by bandits while I was away on business. The sword wound nearly killed me, and I had to lie down for a year before I recovered." Tang Zixing felt his forehead throbbing again. "This wound has hurt my head, and I've forgotten a lot of things."
"I think Madam Tang must have invited the best imperial physician to treat your injury."
"Yes. It's hard on my wife."
Seeing the warmth on his elder brother's face when he talked about Madam Tang, Xie Jian pursed his lips, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes. He was determined to make the person behind this pay a heavy price.
After lunch, Min'er saw several children nearby clamoring to see the bride and ask for candy. The women wanted to have fun, so they took the children to the backyard, and he also wanted to go.
It was rare for Min'er to act like a child, and Chen Heng also liked the hustle and bustle, so how could she not respond?
However, according to the customs of Dacong, the bride can only meet people after the groom has picked up the handkerchief after the wedding ceremony so that they can get to know her face.
All these wedding candies were distributed by the maids and servants around the bride.
The three of them accepted the wedding candy and planned to go home and come back for dinner.
Chen Heng deliberately walked in a less crowded area, but she didn't expect to see Liu Zhiyue and Liu Xinyue walking and chatting on the gravel path. When she wanted to avoid them without leaving a trace, Liu Zhiyue had already discovered her.
Meeting by chance twice in one day, Shen Heng felt helpless.
Aren’t all the ladies enjoying the flowers and drinking tea in that big garden?
A greeting.
"Xinyue, do you know Madam Shen?" Liu Zhiyue was slightly surprised. This Shen Heng was incredible. She even recognized the daughter of the Prince Qing's Mansion.
"Eighth brother took the imperial examination together with Mr. Xie from Xuanlang last time. Didn't he pass? We met then." Liu Xinyue was a little curious about Xie Jian. He looked handsome, but he treated people coldly.
Others looked at her with eyes full of amazement, but only Xie Jian would occasionally linger his gaze on her, without any amazement or even a ripple in his eyes.
