Chapter 38 Let the scumbag go, the prince meets again
Hualou is an extremely special teahouse in Beijing.
Those who drink tea here are all affectionate and bold people.
There were often poor scholars who had the courage to secretly get engaged to noble ladies in brothels. When this was discovered, the noble ladies on the woman's side, if they wanted to save face, would have no choice but to let their daughters marry them.
If one really despises the other party's family background but wants to preserve his reputation, he will spend a lot of money to block the news and buy out the information, and then hastily marry his daughter to someone else.
Therefore, apart from men and women who were dating, most of the people who came to the brothel were lazy men from Beijing who had nothing to do and were looking to buy and sell information.
After Rendong's shout, everyone looked at Xie Zhi and Xie Chengyu.
The two of them originally came to the brothel to "catch" Lu Shenyan and Xie Yao in adultery. After entering, they kept a low profile and were accompanied by several of Xie Chengyu's men, all wearing military soft armor. Even if someone noticed them, no one would dare to attack them.
I didn’t expect that before I left, I was recognized by Honeysuckle!
Xie Zhi immediately distanced himself from Xie Chengyu and took off the sachet he was wearing around his waist.
"Miss Honeysuckle, I wear this sachet myself. Besides, my brother and I just came to the flower house to drink tea. There is absolutely no private relationship. Don't talk nonsense!"
Hearing her words, the people around her became even more excited.
The woman called out the name of the woman on horseback, which means that the woman on horseback was not wrong!
She even took off the sachet, clearly an act of guilt!
Xie Zhi knew he had done something wrong and his cheeks turned pale.
Still riding on her horse, Ren Dong raised her voice and said, "Although you are Master Cheng Yu's cousin, and there are some... but if you are in love with each other, what's wrong with violating ethics? Miss, please don't be shy."
Now, all the people drinking tea in the brothel and the people on the roadside came over.
"Young Miss? Young Master Chengyu? Could it be that these two are Xie Zhi, the daughter of the Earl of Wenchang, and Xie Chengyu, the second branch of the Earl's mansion?"
"One is a talented woman from Beijing, and the other is a young talent. They are indeed a perfect match."
"But aren't they cousins? Why are they in the brothel together?"
"You don't understand this, do you? It's precisely because we're cousins, and it goes against ethical principles, that we're getting married here!"
When Xie Chengyu heard those discussions, his face darkened and he suddenly drew his sword.
"You bitch, how dare you talk nonsense? I will kill you!" he said angrily.
Honeysuckle rode back a few steps, a look of fear on her face. "Master Chengyu, are you planning to kill me in the street to silence me? I'm so scared."
After saying that, she patted her horse's belly without hesitation, passed the crowd, and sped away!
The second young lady told her in advance that she should just shout a few words and run away, and leave the rest to the onlookers.
Xie Chengyu could only watch Rendong leave. He wanted to chase her, but there were too many people here. Even if he rode a horse, he would not have enough time. Besides, he couldn't really kill anyone in the street.
He tried hard to calm his anger, remain rational, and clasp his fists towards the onlookers.
"I am Xie Chengyu, a sixth-rank lieutenant of the Jingji Camp. Today, I was drinking tea with my cousin Xie Zhi at the brothel. We behaved with propriety and openness. I hope you will not believe the nonsense of that lowly maid and tarnish her innocence."
The others wanted to continue watching the fun, but when they saw Xie Chengyu reveal his identity, armed with military swords, and followed by several soldiers, they could only disperse reluctantly.
When they got back, they went to the Wenchang Earl's Mansion to look for the parents of Miss Xie Zhi, and then look for the parents of the second eldest son of the Xie family.
Xie Chengyu said to Xie Zhi: "Zhizhi, you should go back home first, I have something important to do——"
His face was ashen as he spoke each word with great emphasis: "If you dare to plot against me, you will... pay a price!"
Xie Yao, that bitch, deliberately changed the meeting place with Lu Shenyan, so that the man and woman drinking tea in the brothel changed from her and Lu Shenyan to herself and Xie Zhi.
She even sent her trusted maid to identify them in the street!
"Then Zhizhi will go back home first and wait for good news from big brother."
Xie Zhi still maintained her gentle and talented appearance. She did not dare to stay here any longer and quickly got on the carriage.
Xie Chengyu rode the warhorse from the Jingji Camp brought by his men and headed straight for Yunhe Tower.
On the way, he calmed down and a cold smile appeared on his face.
Even if Xie Yao's plan succeeded, so what?
Not to mention that he and Xie Zhi are cousins and didn't do anything, so it can be explained naturally.
Even if what they did was discovered, Xie Zhi's reputation would be ruined. However, he was a young talent in the army, and it would be a good opportunity for his uncle to marry Xie Zhi to him!
No, it would not sound good to tell others that his cousin was with him. He could take her as a concubine, which would also be a way to repay her for waiting for him and not wanting to get married.
As for Xie Yao, when he arrives at Yunhe Tower, he will let this woman know that in the face of absolute strength, fake things will become real!
Xie Yao was sitting at a table by the window in the restaurant.
She was eating a small plate of melon seeds given by the restaurant, as if waiting for someone.
Calculating the time, Rendong has already met her cousin and half-sister.
In the previous life, the two of them accused her of having an affair with Lu Shenyan, but others overlooked one thing: they also violated the strict rules between men and women and appeared together inseparable.
How does it feel to be slandered for no reason? A faint smile appeared on Xie Yao's lips.
This is just the beginning. She has also prepared a big gift for her cousin.
At this moment, people were coming and going in the restaurant, and Xie Yao's outstanding appearance attracted many people's attention.
Some people secretly speculated whose family she was from, the Jiang family of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Su family of the generals, or the Xie family of the Wenchang Earl's Mansion?
Lu Shenyan walked in and saw Xie Yao at first sight.
His eyes suddenly lit up with an expression of incredible surprise, and his throat rolled slightly.
Is this the Xie Yao who was wearing tattered clothes, holding a long sword, and had flaws all over her body?
This appearance was clearly better than any other woman he had ever seen.
Lu Shenyan thought that even if it wasn't for her status or the Xu family's dowry, he would be willing to marry her.
The last conversation was unpleasant, and he reflected a lot and planned to be more gentle this time.
Lu Shenyan walked towards Xie Yao.
Today he was still dressed in a blue robe, with a jade crown and black hair, looking gentle and elegant, with a gentle smile on his thin lips.
He has always been confident about his appearance.
When he got closer, he saw that Xie Yao was not looking at him, but looking out the window with a shy expression, and he completely calmed down.
Lu Shenyan looked around but didn't see Xie Chengyu.
Well, letting Xie Chengyu force her was a helpless move. As long as Xie Yao had herself in her heart, it didn't matter whether others came or not.
Besides, there are so many people in Yunhe Tower, and he is not an unknown person either, so they can bear witness for him.
Lu Shenyan straightened his clothes, sat down opposite, and said softly, "Yao'er, I've been waiting for a long time, but you finally came."
Xie Yao then turned around and said coldly, "Get lost."
"Ah?" Lu Shenyan was stunned.
At this moment, in the No. 1 box on the second floor of Yunhe Tower, Xiao Yizi was sitting in a wheelchair.
Compared with the previous time when he saw Lu Shenyan and Xie Yao talking in the Xie family's backyard, the King of Jingbei looked exceptionally calm this time.
The first time is strange, the second time is familiar. It’s just that the princess is meeting another man. He is not angry at all.
Bai Mi followed behind Xiao Yizi and became extremely nervous again.
Especially when he saw that the person Miss Xie was waiting for was really Lu Shenyan, his heart was lifted.
Why is Miss Xie meeting a strange man again?
Why is Lu Shenyan the wild man again?
How come I got bumped into by my own prince again?
How come I'm the one accompanying the prince?
Countless questions kept turning over in Bai Shen's mind, until he heard Xie Yao's crisp "Get lost", and then he relaxed all over.
He suddenly felt that Miss Xie's voice was so beautiful!
