The carriage of the Xiao family stopped at the gate of the Jiang residence. Xiao Tingyi helped Jiang Yuanyi get off the carriage and saw Jiang Shi running over in a hurry. He hurried forward to hold her shoulders and said, "I heard that Chu Huan's concubine bullied you again?"

Jiang Yuanyi was slightly surprised. Did the news spread so quickly?

She didn't answer, but tugged at her mother's sleeve. She glanced at Xiao Tingyi.

Jiang Shi came back to her senses, looked at Xiao Tingyi, and said politely, "Thank you, General Ningyuan."

Xiao Tingyi also replied politely, "It's just a small favor, Madam Jiang, don't take it to heart."

Jiang Shi sent someone to follow them, and if Jiang Yuanyi had any problems, she would come back and report immediately. Of course, she also knew that it was the son of the Xiao family who saved Jiang Yuanyi, and they behaved very intimately in front of the public.

But it was someone else who saved her daughter. Jiang Shi felt mixed emotions. She glanced at the carriage behind her. The curtains were covering it, so she couldn't see who was sitting inside. Jiang Shi withdrew her gaze and pulled Jiang Yuanyi into the house.

When Jiang Shi entered the house, Xiao Tuo came out of the carriage and stood there, looking at the back.

Xiao Tingyi walked over and looked at Xiao Tuo: "Today's incident will surely reach the ears of my father and mother. You..."

Xiao Tuo looked at Xiao Tingyi: "I know."

Lin Zhengyu took Xiao Tingyi's hand: "He has a lot of ideas, don't bother him."

Xiao Tuo turned around and looked at Lin Zhengyu, raised his eyebrows, and his dark eyes were full of urgency: "Yo, now you dare to control my sister?"

Lin Zhengyu blushed and stammered a few times: "... No."

After being shy, Lin Zhengyu reacted, and then kicked over, kicking Xiao Tuo's calf, and said bluntly: "Get out of here."

Xiao Tuo held back his laughter and bent down to pat his trouser legs, and saw that his sister's face was also a little red.

He sighed in his heart, how come these two people are more shameless than each other.

He stopped being annoying and ran back to the carriage to sit down obediently.

Lin Zhengyu watched Xiao Tuo's annoying back disappear, then turned to look at Xiao Tingyi: "Let's go back."

Xiao Tingyi responded softly and stepped onto the carriage.

Lin Zhengyu followed and sat in front of her.

The woman had a pretty face, and she was no longer so aggressive in front of him, but more feminine. Lin Zhengyu called her softly: "Madam."

Since getting married, Lin Zhengyu has always called her by her name, and this was the first time he called her like this.

Even that day...

he whispered in her ear, panting, and called one by one: "Tingyi... Tingyi..."

Xiao Tingyi opened her lips slightly, but she couldn't say the word "husband."

Lin Zhengyu leaned over and pecked her red lips lightly: "It's okay, take your time."

We have a long way to go.

Jiang Shi pulled Jiang Yuanyi back to the room with a distressed look on her face. Thinking of the news that would be widely spread in the capital today, she couldn't help but feel worried and asked, "Yier, when did you become so familiar with Mr. Xiao?"

Jiang Yuanyi looked at her mother through the bronze mirror. She frowned slightly, obviously dissatisfied with the news, but considering that she had just been wronged, she managed to hold back her temper and asked her.

Jiang Yuanyi gently took her mother's hand, held it with both hands, looked up at her, and asked, "Mother, my coming-of-age ceremony will be in less than a month. Do you have any ideas about Yier's marriage?"

The maid beside her brought a stool, and Jiang Shi sat down, looking straight at Jiang Yuanyi.

The woman had bright eyes and white teeth. After what happened today, she was not panicked at all. Her sparkling eyes were filled with a faint smile.

Jiang said, "I think Yi'er has already made up her mind."

Jiang Yuanyi smiled but did not speak.

Jiang looked at her and frowned, "Could it be Mr. Chu?"

Jiang Yuanyi did not have any extra reaction, but just said, "Mother wants her daughter to marry him?"

Jiang shook her head. After these two experiences, even if she was optimistic about Chu Huan, she was unwilling. She looked at Jiang Yuanyi and said, "I wanted to do it at first, but Chu Huan's concubine is too arrogant and domineering. If you go there, you will definitely be wronged. If you go to the Chu Mansion, you will fight with her all day long, which will be enough to make you suffer."

Jiang Yuanyi smiled. After her sister's experience, her mother finally understood what a good marriage is.

She blinked her eyes, lowered her voice, and said shyly, "Mother, I want to marry Mr. Xiao."

Although her voice was low, she spoke naturally.

It was as if she had thought about it long ago and was waiting for this opportunity today.

Jiang stood up suddenly: "Yier, didn't you expose Gao Mingxuan?! He is the same person as Xiao Tuo! You asked your sister not to marry Gao Mingxuan, but why do you want to marry Xiao Tuo?!"

Jiang Yuanyi stood up quickly and held her mother's hand: "Mother, don't worry."

Jiang Yuanyi coaxed her softly, but Jiang didn't listen.

Jiang Yuanyi hurriedly said, "Mother, your daughter is not a fool. If Xiao Tuo is really the same as Gao Mingxuan, how could my daughter marry him? Mother..."

Jiang had just come to the capital and heard of Xiao Tuo's name.

Every few days, there would be an anecdote about Xiao Tuo in the capital. None of them were good, and it was clear that he was a worse person than Gao Mingxuan.

Jiang didn't understand why Jiang Yuanyi hated Gao Mingxuan so much, collected information by herself, and exposed him, but wanted to marry Xiao Tuo. For Jiang, this was simply unreasonable and incomprehensible.

"Stop talking! I can't possibly marry your sister to Gao Mingxuan! Likewise, you can never marry Xiao Tuo."

Jiang Yuanyi didn't expect her mother to react so strongly, and hurriedly said, "Mother, you can send those spies to Liu Street to check how many rumors about Xiao Tuo are false, and how many are framed by others for doing bad things. He is carefree by nature, and was indeed naughty in his early years, but..."

Jiang interrupted her, her eyes cold, and asked, "Is it true that he likes to hang out with women? Is it true that he spent all day in restaurants and casinos when he was young?"

Jiang Yuanyi shook her head, "Mother, it's not what you think..."

That day in the residence of Princess Hui, it was Xiao Tuo who rescued Jiang Yuanyi. This time, it was also Xiao Tuo. Is it really a coincidence?

Jiang looked at Jiang Yuanyi, frowned, and narrowed her eyes: "Are you also following your sister's example and secretly arranging your life with someone?"

Jiang Yuanyi was stunned for a few moments, not daring to add fuel to the fire, and hurriedly shook her head: "Mother, don't be angry, it's nothing, my daughter just mentioned it casually because she is grateful for Mr. Xiao's kindness several times."

Jiang looked at her suspiciously for a few times, and then her expression softened a little, turned to Xiaoqing and said: "Take good care of the young lady." After that, she turned and walked out.

Xiaoqing was a little frightened by the battle just now, and quickly nodded and sent Jiang away.

"Young lady, what should I do?" Xiaoqing hurriedly walked back to Jiang Yuanyi's side. It had been a long time since the lady had lost her temper so much, and it was directed at her most beloved little daughter.

Jiang Yuanyi sighed: "It doesn't matter, at most I can cry, make a fuss, or even hang myself."

Hearing Jiang Yuanyi say this, Xiaoqing was a little surprised, and couldn't believe that this was what Jiang Yuanyi would do. Seeing Jiang Yuanyi's unspeakable expression, she chuckled: "How could Miss be like that."

Jiang Yuanyi shook her head slowly and smiled helplessly.

_____Xiao

Tingyi followed Lin Zhengyu back to the Lin Mansion, and Xiao Tuo returned to the Duke's Mansion alone. As soon as he entered the house, someone came to report that the Duke had called him.

Xiao Tuo entered the front hall and saw his father sitting right in front of him with a serious expression.

"Kneel down!"

Xiao Tuo knelt straight down. Xiao Kangyuan stood up and walked to Xiao Tuo's side, frowning: "Do you know what others have said about you today?!"

Xiao Tuo shook his head: "I don't know."

His face was normal, without any regrets.

Xiao Kangyuan said angrily: "You flirted with a decent woman in broad daylight! You are so bold that you even threw a woman into the river! I thought you had behaved yourself in the past few days, but you have become even worse! The ground is not big enough for you to jump around, are you trying to fly to heaven?!"

Xiao Tuo raised his head, his eyes were sharp, and his voice was neither humble nor arrogant: "Chu Huan's concubine deserved it. She deliberately fell down and wanted to push Miss Jiang into the river. If I hadn't arrived in time, she would have fallen into the river! The concubine deserved it. "My child has always had a bad reputation. They like to make up stories about me. Don't you know that, father?"

Xiao Kangyuan rubbed his forehead angrily, "You also know that you have a bad reputation? Then why don't you restrain your behavior? Do you know how much impact this matter will have on you if it gets out? How did others spread the news about you and that girl? Didn't I let you go out today? Every time you go out, you get into trouble! You can avenge Miss Jiang, but do you have to do it in public? ! Stupid!"

Xiao Tuo originally wanted to wait for Jiang Yuanyi at the door of the Jiang Mansion early. When he went to pay his respects to his mother in the morning, his mother caught a cold and had a fever.

He didn't want to mention going out, but later he was really worried. The Duke's Mansion was closer to his eldest brother's mansion, so he sent someone to call his eldest brother quickly, and then he had time to run out.

Xiao Tuo frowned and said nothing for a long while before he said, "Some things, if I don't do them, others will do them. I have to start in advance."

Xiao Kangyuan: "What are you talking about?"

If he hadn't arrived today, Jiang Yuanyi would have fallen into the water, and Chu Huan would have gone to save her, got wet, and picked her up, in front of everyone... What would people say about her?

Chu Huan might not have expected Liu Ruyan to push Yuanyi into the water, but he wanted to use Liu Ruyan's outspoken mouth to tie Jiang Yuanyi and him together in some ambiguous way, which was his purpose.

Xiao Tuocai looked at the ground and said in a low voice: "Then I'll say it clearly today, I want to marry the second lady of the Jiang family."

Xiao Kangyuan looked at Xiao Tuo: "You want to marry her? You are notorious in this capital, everyone knows it? Her parents are willing to marry their daughter to you?"

Xiao Tuo just said: "Just don't bother me." Xiao Kangyuan

snorted: "You can get Miss Jiang back, you are capable, why should I bother you."

Xiao Tuo raised his head and looked at Xiao Kangyuan. There was a seriousness in his dark eyes that Xiao Kangyuan had never seen before: "Seriously?"

Since returning from the birthday banquet at Prince Hui's Mansion that day, the woman with incomparable beauty and outstanding temperament, who was appointed by the emperor as the princess's tea art master, has become famous in various families.

Xiao Kangyuan said: "I've heard your mother talk about her. Although she's a little bit weak, she's also got some courage."

She's gentle and virtuous. Although she's a little too beautiful, she's very dignified and calm. Xiao Kangyuan was very fond of Jiang Yuanyi after hearing Xiao Tuo's mother's evaluation.

Xiao Tuo stood up and said, "Get the betrothal gifts ready."

After saying that, he turned around and went back to the room.

Xiao Kangyuan pointed at Xiao Tuo's back angrily and said, "He's still so rude! Did I let him get up?!"

The servant beside him quickly said a few words of comfort and brought him tea.

Xiao Kangyuan angrily trimmed his beard.
