The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

Under the big tree at the side door of the Tang Mansion, a man and a woman were standing not far away.

Jiang Hongxin sent Jiang Muxia back home and just got off the carriage when she saw Tang San handing the horse to Tang Si and walking towards a tree in the distance.

She watched the young couple enter the mansion, smiled and waved to Jiang Muxia who looked back at her, and was about to turn around and leave.

Tang Si called her from behind.

She didn't understand what he meant until Tang Si raised his chin in the direction of Tang San and pursed his lips, indicating that Tang San wanted to discuss something with her.

She frowned slightly, feeling surprised, wondering why Tang San was looking for her.

She walked quickly to the shadow under the tree and asked him calmly, "Why does Guard Tang want to see me?"

The two of them were at the edge of the lights at the entrance of the mansion, and she deliberately stood in the dark. Tang San couldn't see her face clearly, and when he looked up, he felt that her eyes were as bright as stars in the dark, and her voice was as plain as before, without a trace of emotion.

He was feeling lost and depressed. Looking at the person he hadn't seen for a long time, he couldn't help but ask what he wanted to know most, how she was doing.

"how is your day?"

This question came out of nowhere and stunned her for a moment.

The two had only worked together a few times and had met each other many times because of his sister.

They could only be considered acquaintances, but had never had any in-depth interactions.

She felt strange when he asked this question as soon as they met.

She reacted and thought it was just his usual polite remark, so she continued answering his question.

"Very good. If there is nothing else, I will leave."

"Don't, that... I..." Tang San's eyes were vague, passing through her and drifting towards the gate of the mansion from time to time.

Jiang Hongxin turned her head and followed his gaze towards the entrance of the mansion, only to see a piece of clothing flash by, and her brows furrowed even more.

What on earth is this person doing?

She glared at Tang San and said in a hard tone, "You decide whether to tell me or not. If not, I'm leaving."

"That..." Tang San was in a panic, looking at a loss.

Jiang Hongxin looked at her hesitant appearance, ignored her, and walked away.

Tang San then became anxious, and quickly caught up with her, stuffed something into her arms, and ran away without looking back.

"For you."

"Hey……"

Jiang Hongxin was stunned for a moment. When she reacted and called him, Tang San had already run back to the mansion and the door was slammed shut from the inside.

Jiang Hongxin stared at the carved wooden box in her arms, then took it in her hands and gently opened it. Inside the box was a white jade plum blossom hairpin.

The jade-like white and warm color, and the cool red plum blossoms hanging on the branches are in line with her temperament.

But he gave me a hairpin? Men only give hairpins to women they like, right?

Jiang Hongxin's eyes widened in shock at the idea that popped into her mind. Only then did she realize why Tang San, who was always steady and serious, was hesitating and blushing.

It turned out that he wanted to confess to himself.

Her brows relaxed slightly, the corners of her lips curled up, and she chuckled. For some reason, she felt a little sweet in her heart.

However, the happy mood only lasted for a moment.

Her eyes turned cold, her future was uncertain. Although she didn't dislike him, she couldn't make any promises to him. She couldn't take the hairpin.

She gently put the hairpin back into the box, looked at the closed door, clutched the wooden box, and strode away.

Tang Si, who had been watching through the crack in the door for a long time, became so angry when he saw the person leave that he pointed at Tang San and began to accuse him.

"I say you are really stupid. We finally met, why don't you keep me here and talk to me for a while? Where did your energy to scold me go? This time it's over. I don't know when we will meet again."

Tang San's ears were red, and he pursed his lips and said nothing. He had already used up all his courage to stuff the thing into her arms. He couldn't say anything disgusting to the girl even if he was beaten to death.

His mood switched between joy and disappointment. He saw her expression when she saw the hairpin. She was originally happy, so why did she suddenly become cold?

Tang Si chased after him and kept giving him advice in his ear. Tang San lowered his head and said nothing as he walked towards Yuzhao Courtyard. Under the reflection of the light, the two of them looked thin and long.

In Yuzhao Courtyard, Jiang Muxia and Tang Zhongbai had already gone to bed. Only a few lanterns were swaying slightly in the wind under the eaves. Jifeng buried his head in the feathers and closed his eyes.

Jiang Muxia nestled in Tang Zhongbai's arms, drawing circles on his chest with her fingers and laughing softly.

"I didn't expect that Tang San actually fell in love with my cousin. Tell me, if they really get together, how should you address him?"

"There is a difference between master and servant. He is still my bodyguard, and this identity will never change." Tang Zhongbai hugged her tightly and changed the subject, "However, even if the two of them are interested, it is difficult for them to be together."

Jiang Muxia sighed, "Yes, Prince Yi will not let my cousin leave. Do you have a way to make Prince Yi say so and let her go? A guard is not indispensable to him, right?"

"You don't know that Prince Yi is more than just a prince. His Majesty trusts him very much. Important military affairs, appointments and transfers of court officials, and intelligence gathering are all in Prince Yi's hands. He has trained many capable guards, some in secret and some in the open. Your cousin was originally a secret guard. After the incident of the King of Lingnan, she made great contributions and was transferred to the open guard. Now she is the most capable person around him. He has trained her for so many years to become a main force. How could he let her go so easily?"

"Yeah." Jiang Muxia suddenly felt a chill on her shoulder and snuggled into his arms.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind, and she remembered that she had analyzed the Tang family's hidden spies on the way to the palace.

She thought that if she could pull the spy out of the Tang family and hand him over to Prince Yi, and then make a condition to him, would she be able to help her cousin escape.

She didn't care about the cold, broke free from his arms, pulled a thick blanket around herself, sat upright on the bed and looked at Tang Zhongbai.

The lamp on the bedside table shone through the gauze curtains, and the dim light made his face blurry when she looked at it.

"What's wrong? It's too cold. Come here quickly." Tang Zhongbai quickly got up and wrapped the warm quilt around her. He then put his long arms around her and held her in his arms.

Jiang Muxia did not refuse, and told him her guess in his arms.

Tang Zhongbai's expression became serious. Things in the world are unpredictable. Although what she said was bold, it might be true. The people in his house were all old people, and the young ones were all born in the house. It was unlikely that there were spies.

However, the inner courtyards of the other two houses were in a mess, and it was easy for spies to hide among them.

He frowned, this would only cause trouble.

The heads of the first and second branches of the family are the great grandfather and the second grandfather. How can a junior like him interfere in their family affairs?

"Haste makes waste, take your time. I heard from my eldest sister-in-law that every New Year, our three families will gather together on New Year's Eve to have a reunion dinner. This year it's our turn to have it at my great-grandfather's house. Don't you think the opportunity has come?"

Tang Zhongbai's eyes lit up, "You mean?"

"Yeah, that's right." Jiang Muxia nodded at him.

Tang Zhongbai wrapped the quilt around her and kissed her on the ear.

"Be good, go to sleep first. This is a matter of great importance to the entire Tang family. I will talk to my father and let him help us deal with it. Our chances of success will be much greater."

"Okay, be careful, the walls have ears."
