Zhu Xinbing was stunned at first, then quickly said with a smile: "Hey Yue, isn't this Madam? Why are you here?"
"I have a question to ask. What evidence does Miss An have regarding my master's affairs?" The concubine did not greet Zhu Xinbing, but asked directly.
Zhu Xinbing stretched out a finger, scratched the tip of his nose, and said with a sly look and a smile, "Madam, are you asking for yourself now? Or is it for your husband?"
"Is there any difference?" The concubine gave her a cold look.
"Of course there is a difference! Although you and that man have a special relationship, they are two different things. When he gave you to Tang Liuzhao, you were already Tang Liuzhao's wife. If it weren't for that master's instructions, and I told you, if he pursued the matter one day, my life would be in danger. Don't you agree?"
"Hmph!" The concubine snorted coldly, "Do you think I want to ask? Miss An has already asked me today, how can I stay out of it? Master Zhu, don't say I didn't remind you, there is actually no difference between you and me. We may both be pawns in the hands of that master. So when necessary, don't you think we should act together?"
"You mean you want to save Tang Liuzhao?" Zhu Xinbing narrowed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Saving him or not is secondary. I want to save myself. Miss An asked that question today. She must be suspicious of something, so I don't want to be the scapegoat."
"I see, that's right! We are all ants in the hands of others. Our life and death are just a matter of a word from others." Zhu Xinbing thought for a moment and then said, "Then what are you going to do?"
"I haven't made up my mind yet, but first I need to know what evidence Miss An has in her hands. If it has nothing to do with me, I'm happy to pretend I know nothing, but if it doesn't, I have to find another way out."
Zhu Xinbing smiled. "That's pretty much what I was thinking, but I have to be honest with you. I don't know what Miss An has in her possession. I only know it's a square brocade box, and the contents are probably the evidence. But it's in Dang Yan's hands now, and my people can't get close to it at all."
The concubine was silent, then suddenly smiled meaningfully and said, "The people you sent out are all men, right? How can men against men succeed? Sometimes women are more useful."
"Oh, I see!" Zhu Xinbing smiled sinisterly. Women are men's natural enemies. As long as a woman uses all her skills, even steel can bend. But soon, Zhu Xinbing and his concubine realized that they might be wrong.
Because they sent a maid to serve, ostensibly to serve, but secretly just wanted to see what was in the brocade box. However, Dang Yan was unmoved and drove the girl out like a plague.
"Is Dang Yan even a man? He doesn't want women even when they come to his door. Is he a monk?" The concubine glared at him angrily.
Zhu Xinbing said thoughtfully, "Maybe... our people are too unattractive. Think about it! Miss An is a great beauty. How many people in the world can rival her? I'm afraid it's hard to find. With Miss An around, it's understandable that Dang Yan wouldn't even look at other women."
"So our efforts have been in vain?" The concubine frowned slightly.
Zhu Xinbing frowned and remained silent. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he had an idea. "Madam, what do you think of that young master?"
"Young Master? An Yunxi? Why did you mention that stingy guy? You're not planning on kidnapping him, are you? I won't do that! He's Miss An's precious son. How could he survive if I touch him? I want to live a long life!"
"What are you thinking? I mean..." Zhu Xinbing whispered something in her ear. Listening to it, the concubine actually laughed. "Okay, that's a good idea. Let's do it."
Here, Dang Yan's act of kicking the maid out of the house became a laughing stock that day.
"I'm talking to you, Dang Yan! After all, she's here to deliver herself to your door. Can't you just pity her and accept her? Besides, are you still a man? She's right in front of you, but you don't want her. Don't you think you can handle it? Do you want me to treat her?" An Tingyu blinked her charming eyes and teased playfully.
Dang Yan's forehead was covered with black lines, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, "I'm fine!"
"I don't think it's good either. That maid is a beauty. If it were me, I would have eaten her right away. So, there really is something wrong with you. You need treatment!"
Dang Yan glared at Feng Yun and said, "I'm not you, a dog in heat everywhere. Any female is suitable."
Poof!
When Yan refuted this, the people around him couldn't help but laugh!
"Haha~ Fengyun, so you are a dog in heat? Any female is suitable?" An Tingyu raised her eyebrows at him with a playful look on her face.
"Tsk~" Feng Yun glared at Dang Yan, "I've never seen you so sharp-tongued before, but today I've learned a lot. It seems the saying is true: a desperate dog will jump over the wall, and a desperate rabbit will bite."
Dang Yan glanced at Feng Yun expressionlessly and said nothing more.
At this time, An Tingyu said again: "Okay, let's get down to business! Dang Yan, what did you find out?"
Dang Yan replied, "According to your instructions, I tracked down Tang Liuzhao's concubine. She only went to the government office and met Zhu Xinbing. The maid was sent to find the brocade box. You already know this. That's all."
"He just met Zhu Xinbing. Could it be that Zhu Xinbing really framed Tang Liuzhao? Or did he conspire with this concubine?" An Tingyu supported her chin elegantly, thinking that this should be the case, but she also felt that something didn't make sense.
It has been so long since the incident with Tang Liuzhao, and she had asked Yu Qing to secretly monitor Zhu Xinliang. But if the two were in collusion, there should have been some clues long ago. However, they have only had contact now, and it has been quite frequent. The contrast between the two is too great, which makes her feel a little confused.
"Dangyan, if there is a next time, let them succeed!"
"Yes!" Dang Yan replied, but when they thought that Zhu Xinbing and the concubine would still attack Dang Yan, their opponents turned around and set their sights on Xiao Yunxi. Moreover, because of Xiao Yunxi, both of them were left in tears and laughter by Xiao Yunxi's unexpected accident.
That day, following Xiao Yunxi and the others, my concubine followed them all the way to the street. Just as she was about to catch up, Xing'er suddenly stood in front of her. "Madam, it seems like you've been following us all the way. What's going on?"
The concubine was secretly surprised and said, "No... no! I just saw you guys going out alone and wondered if you needed any help. But as you know, my master just had an accident, so it might not be appropriate to have private contact with you, so I had to follow you all the way."
