Patrol's sweetheart baby

"Young master, young lady—"

Pingting followed the master's order and came to Qingwu Courtyard.

Seeing that the door of the wedding room was open, guessing that the two couples should have gotten up, they stood at the door and called out.

Inside the room, Qingluan was startled when she heard Pingting's voice.

Yes!

According to the custom, at this time, the son and wife should get up early to offer tea to their parents-in-law.

Pingting must have been sent by the master or madam to remind her!

Qingluan looked at the "Young Madam" on the couch, and naturally she didn't expect the person on the couch to respond to Pingting's "Young Madam".

The young master is busy playing chess with Duke Zhou and his elders, so he can't count on him

Silently screamed bitterly in my heart.

In any case, let's deal with Pingting now.

Qingluan hurriedly turned the screen and walked to the door, "Pingting, what's wrong? What's the matter?"

"Qingluan, why do you look so pale? But you didn't sleep well last night?"

When Pingting saw Qingluan, she was taken aback by his pale face.

She took Qingluan's hand and asked with concern.

"No, it's nothing. Pingting, why are you here? But Master and Madam are both up?"

"Well. Just after Mao's hour, the master and madam got up one after another. They were sitting in the hall, waiting for the bride to offer tea to her parents-in-law."

Tea?

Not to mention whether the one in it would kneel down and offer tea to the master and madam, even if the one in it dared to respect, would the master and madam dare to drink it?

Pingting lowered her volume and asked softly, "Are the two newcomers awake?"

Qingluan was still thinking about the picture of the person on the bed serving tea to the master and madam seriously, when he heard that, he shook his head subconsciously, and replied, "Young master is still sleeping."

"Confused! It's all right for you to be arrogant and pamper the young master in the past. What day is today, can it be like the past? Why don't you hurry up and wake up the young master?"

The masters got up late, the master and wife would not beat and scold the two newcomers, wouldn't they be the servants who suffered the most?

Pingting was also worried for Qingluan.

Knowing that Qingluan has always been helpless against the young master, Pingting said, then stepped over the threshold and entered the house.

Let her be the villain for a while, and go wake the young master up.

"Ping, Pingting—"

At this time, Qingluan finally came to her senses from the horrifying scene of the person serving tea to the master and wife on the bed. Seeing that Pingting had entered the house at some point, she panicked and hurried to catch up.

Qingluan had just opened the window to let in air, but how could the smell in the room dissipate in a short while?

When Pingting entered the room, like Qingluan, she immediately smelled the musky scent of men and women after sex.

Pingting has served Mrs. Du and his master Tang Shimao all the year round, so she is used to this scene.

Although it is not to the point of not changing his face, Qingluan, who has never seen anything, is stronger.

Pingting walked around the screen with light steps, "Young Madam, it's even more important for a servant to serve you..."

Looking up, I saw that the supposedly delicate and soft newlyweds turned out to be the previous Xie Xunyan who patrolled Chun'an!

Pingting was taken aback and screamed, "Scared!"

Pingting panicked, stepped on her auspicious clothes on the ground, slipped, and fell into a squatting position.

"Pingting!"

Seeing Qingluan, she trotted over and helped him up.

"It's Pingting! The voice came from your younger brother's room. Unexpectedly, hurry up and help daddy over there!"

Tang Shimao, who was about to step into the Qingwu Courtyard, heard the scream of the maid Pingting, and his expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly urged his eldest son to help him to walk faster.

Could it be that that villain with ulterior motives did something unfavorable to Tang'er?

Everyone, including Du Shi who pretended to be worried and followed, felt his heart tighten because of Pingting's scream!

Of course, the reason Du's heart tensed was not because she was worried about Tang Xiaotang, her stepson, but because she was thinking, would it be dangerous for her to go in so rashly?

What if the gangster has a dagger in his hand?

The more Du Shi thought about it, the more frightened he became, and his pace involuntarily slowed down.

Tang Buqi helped his father Tang Shimao rush to his younger brother Tang Xiaotang's room.

The door is open.

Tang Shimao almost had an impulse to lead others to rush in, but when he was about to cross the threshold, he finally held back.

I don't know the identity of the villain who pretended to be Miss Hou's Mansion, but he is a female family member after all.

To knock out the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and pretend to be a new bride to marry into their Tang family, such a person with ulterior motives and climbing dragons and phoenixes must not keep her!

But the thief had already spent the night with Tang'er last night, no accident, the two should have become husband and wife.

Since the thief did such a shameless thing as replacing the new bride, her face is nothing, but if they are men, all the servants will swarm into the room, wouldn't it be a burden to Tang'er face?

Tang Shimao's face changed several times, but he didn't just rush in like this.

Tang Shimao turned around and told Mrs. Du, who had finally arrived at this time, "Ma'am, go in and see if the thief has put on his clothes."

—

In the room, Tang Xiaotang was awakened by Pingting's screams.

He opened his eyes, sat up from the bed, and looked around blankly.

Just now, what happened?

Thank goodness!

The little boy finally woke up!

Qingluan hurried forward, almost weeping with joy, "My lord, you're finally awake!"

"Qingluan, what's wrong?"

"My lord, last night, what happened last night? Why... why did Mr. Xie come, stay on your bed?"

As soon as Qingluan finished speaking, the voice of the master Tang Shimao was heard outside the door.

Then, Qingluan saw his young master who was still sleepy just now, and suddenly seemed to be a different person, pulling and pulling at Master Xie, "It's father! Ah, father, why are they here again? Brother Xiaoyu, hurry up, hide quickly..."

"Don't panic. I have my own countermeasures."

Enough of admiring the young master's anxious and nervous appearance, Xie Jinbai gently stroked the young master's flushed cheeks with his fingertips, the corners of his lips slightly raised, and said in a calm and unhurried manner.

"Well. Listen to the lady."

The two of them had cleared up all their misunderstandings last night, and Tang Xiaotang had complete trust in Xie Jinbai at this moment.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, assuming that everything was decided by his wife.

Xie Jinbai squinted at him.

Qingluan and Pingting were already dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, there is no, rebuttal? ! !

—

"lady?"

Tang Shimao ordered Mrs. Du to go into the house to find out what happened, but Mrs. Du was waiting for her, "Master, what if the thief has something hurtful in his hands..."

As soon as Du Shi said this, he knew that his words were inappropriate.

She was worried that the thief had a weapon in his hand, so she didn't want to go in. Is it okay for the master or the gentleman to go in?

Sure enough, Tang Shimao's expression darkened.

Du's face turned pale, and he hurriedly explained, "Master, I...I didn't mean that..."

Tang Buqi also hurriedly spoke for his mother, "That's right, father, mother has no other intentions, so don't take it to heart."

If it was the past, Tang Shimao would definitely not think too much about it.

At most, they think that women are less courageous than men, since Mrs. Du doesn't want to go, it's fine to send a maid or woman in to see what's going on.

Now, he already knew Du Shi's true character, and hearing his words again, he felt extremely harsh.

So in the eyes of his first wife, whether he is the same age or not, is far less important than herself?

"My lord, you believe in my concubine's identity, I really mean it, and I really don't mean anything else... And it was that day, I was frightened at Qianye Temple that day, and I had lingering fears in my heart, so I slipped my words for a while, my lord..."

It's good that Mrs. Du didn't mention what happened in Qianye Temple that day. When she mentioned it, Tang Shimao inevitably remembered that Mrs. Du went to Qianye Temple to take refuge that day and wore a peony-colored bellyband to the temple, and he became more and more impatient.

He interrupted Du in a low voice, "Madam, there is no need to explain."

"Old... lord..."

Zhao Ma who was at the side said obediently at the right time, "Master, why don't you go in first."

Only then did Tang Shimao notice Zhao's mother who had been standing behind Mrs. Du, and immediately frowned in disgust, "Didn't the old man give orders not to allow you to go half a step closer to the gate of Tang'er Courtyard, how dare you make your own decisions and defy the old man?" ban?"

Zhao's mother never expected that the master would still remember this incident, her face changed drastically, and she immediately knelt on the ground in fright, "I don't dare, I don't dare..."

Tang Shimao naturally knew that the reason Zhao Ma dared to disobey his prohibition must be because Du Shi was behind her to support her.

This added to Tang Shimao's dislike for Mrs. Du.

"Get the old man out now. If there is another violation of the prohibition next time, even if it is an old man next to your wife, don't blame the old man for being merciless!"

Because Zhao Ma is Du's adoptive mother, the master has always been polite to her all these years, why this time...

Regardless of the shock in her heart, Zhao's mother fell on the ground, and said authentically, "Yes, yes."

Zhao Ma rolled and crawled out of the Qingwu Courtyard.

Du's slip of the tongue was the first, so at this time, he dared not speak up to intercede for Zhao Mama.

What's more...

I don't know if it's her illusion, but she always feels that the master treats her not as obediently as before...

Tang Shimao casually named the maid named Chun Ning, and said to the other party, "Remember, if the thief is already dressed, you can just shout inside, and the old man will immediately order other people to go in and arrest the thief, you understand? "

"Yes, sir."

Unexpectedly, not long after the little maid went in, she ran out in a panic, "Old, master...then, that thief is, is he a man?!"

"what?"

"what?"

Tang Shimao and Tang Buqi, father and son, were surprised at the same time.

Tang Shimao immediately bypassed Chunning's girl, and with Tang Buqi's support, the father and son hurried into the room.

The father and son turned around the screen.

On the couch, Tang Xiaotang was sleeping on Xie Jinbai Chiguo's arm, hugging each other.

Both of them were covered with quilts.

Tang Shimao couldn't tell if his younger son was wearing any clothes, but from Xie Jinbai's bare arms, he could see that Tang'er's situation was not much better.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Tang Shimao couldn't help but think of the ambiguous scene when he smashed Tang Xiaotang in Qianye Temple and appeared on Xie Jinbai's couch, and immediately his chest was full of blood.

The maids and servant girls in the room all blushed and lowered their heads, even Du Shi also retreated to the other side of the screen to avoid suspicion.

The shock in my heart has not diminished in half.

Mo, could it be that the so-called thief who knocked Miss Liang of the Hou Mansion unconscious and married into the Tang family in place of Miss Liang, was it Xie Huaiyu?

This is too unbelievable!

Tang Xiaotang wakes up leisurely at this time.

He rubbed his eyes and saw a crowd of people around the bed. Even though he was prepared, he was still taken aback.

"Father? Brother, you, why are you all here? Yes, what happened?"

Tang Shimao was slightly relieved to see that his son's clothes were barely neat, but he was not naked at all.

With the movement of Tang Xiaotang getting up, the ambiguous traces of scarlet color on the collarbone were faintly revealed, Tang Shimao's breathing was stagnant, and he almost fainted on the spot.

After taking a few quick deep breaths, Tang Shimao managed to calm down, and with a trembling voice, he said to Qingluan behind him, "Go... go get the young master's clothes, get a set."

Qingluan responded and went to get the clothes.

His eyes touched Xie Jinbai's shirtless upper body, Tang Shimao's face turned pale, and he ordered the servant girl Pingting to go to the Grand Prince's courtyard and fetch a set of the Grand Prince's clothes.

Tang Xiaotang was much shorter than Xie Jinbai, so Xie Jinbai couldn't wear his clothes.

"Tang'er, get off the bed first. Dad has something to ask you."

Tang Xiaotang was anxious.

Father's reaction is wrong!

Didn't daddy be furious when he found out that yesterday's bride was actually brother Xiaoyu?

But soon, Tang Xiaotang guessed what father's idea was.

Dad is coaxing him out of bed first, so that he won't find out that the bride he married yesterday is brother Xiaoyu, so this matter will be exposed.

"Oh."

Tang Xiaotang responded, while cooperating with getting out of bed.

Because Tang Xiaotang was lying on the inside and Xie Jinbai was lying on the outside, so if he wanted to get out of bed, he would have to step over Xie Jinbai.

Tang Xiaotang pretended to be tripped by the quilt, and immediately fell firmly on Xie Jinbai's body.

Tang Xiaotang didn't know if Brother Xiaoyu hurt from the fall, anyway, he was in pain.

Jin Bai was pretending to be in a coma, even if he really was in a coma, Xiao Guo'er should have woken up from the pain with such a throw.

Xie Jinbai frowned slightly, and opened her eyes in a timely manner.

Seeing that he opened his eyes, Tang Xiaotang didn't bother to rub the tip of his nose that hurt from being bumped, and immediately pretended to be surprised, "Xie, Xie Huaiyu, what, why is it you?"

The two cooperated so well that it was called a tacit understanding.

Qingluan: "..."

Pingting: "..."

If they hadn't seen the young master hastily tugging at Mr. Xie's sleeve to tell Mr. Xie to hide quickly, they would have believed this scene.

When Tang Shimao saw his son lying on Xie Jinbai's body like this, he knew it was an accident, but the veins on his forehead still twitched.

"Tang'er!"

Tang Xiaotang raised his head in a daze.

Tang Shimao slowed down his tone, "Tang'er, get off Master Xie first."

"Oh, oh."

Tang Xiaotang hurriedly got off Xie Jinbai's body.

Unexpectedly, the brocade quilt was too slippery, he couldn't support it with his hands, and he was about to fall on Xie Jinbai again.

Xie Jinbai sat up in time, put his arms around Tang Xiaotang's waist, and supported him.

In this way, Xie Jinbai's upper body was completely exposed to everyone's sight.

Tang Xiaotang thought to himself, this is a big loss!

Although in order to create an ambiguous effect or something, Xie Jinbai's upper body was also agreed by Tang Xiaotang.

But right now, he can't wait to wrap his little brother Xiaoyu tightly with a quilt, and no one is allowed to see it!

Has he even looked at it carefully?

After Xie Jinbai supported Tang Xiaotang, he let go of his hand.

"Dare to ask Tang Zhifu, why is my lord here?"

Tang Xiaotang: "..."

Brother Xiaoyu's ability to pretend to be stupid is too superb!He is beyond reach!

Tang Shimao, who had already held back his anger, said, "!!!"

You thank Huaiyu for appearing on my son's bed for no reason.

Why are you here? Shouldn't this question be asked by him?

After about a cup of tea.

Tang Shimao and Du Shi sat at the head of the hall.

Tang Buqi sat on the same side as the Tang Xiaotang brothers, and Xie Jinbai sat alone opposite the two brothers.

All the maidservants and servants have all retreated under Tang Shimao's order.

"Master Xie, you said that you stayed at the Chun'an Inn yesterday, and when you woke up, you were already on Tang'er's bed. You don't know why you appeared on Tang'er's bed, let alone who did it?"

"Ah."

Tang Shimao's eyes were sharp, and he went straight to Xie Jinbai, "In this case, I can't help but ask Mr. Xie, Mr. Xie has already resigned from the post of inspector of Chun'an, why is he showing up in Chun'an now?"

Xie Jin's eyebrows were pale, "Is the prefect Tang interrogating Huai Yu?"

"My lord thank you for speaking seriously. Yesterday my son married Ms. Liang from Xingyuan Hou's family. This morning, the young servant from Xingyuan Hou's mansion rushed to report to my husband. Yesterday, I was supposed to get on the bridal sedan chair and marry into my mansion. Ms. Liang, this morning, was found by servants of the mansion, beaten unconscious, and tied up in the woodshed.

But at this time, Mr. Xie appeared on Tang'er's bed early in the morning.This fact is too unimaginable, and it is also full of strangeness.Since Mr. Xie was originally sleeping on the bed in the inn, but he woke up and appeared on Tang'er's couch for no reason, he must have wanted to figure out the ins and outs of the matter more than the old man.I also hope that Mr. Xie can cooperate and answer the old man's question, so as to find out the truth of the matter earlier. "

Xie Jinbai pondered for a while before slowly opening his mouth and said, "About more than two months ago, Huaiyu received an order from the imperial court, appointing Huaiyu as the magistrate of Fufeng County, and went to Fufeng to take up the post. Passing through Chun'an, he drove into the city. Let's meet for a while. If the prefect of Tang has any doubts, he can send someone to Xiao Fengming, the former Chizhanghe Supervisor, who is now teaching the teachings of Nirong Academy. Xiao Fengming invites him to know whether Huaiyu's words are true."

Hearing that Xie Jinbai was about to go to Fufeng County to take up his post, Tang Shimao was surprised.

Xie Huaiyu visited Chun'an before and made great contributions. It is said that the court should reward meritorious deeds. How...how, instead, a Beijing official was relegated to Fufeng, a place where bandits are turbulent, and became a small county magistrate ?

Tang Shimao couldn't help thinking of the news about the upcoming wedding of the emperor and empress that he had heard before, and Tang Shimao was horrified——

Could it be that Xie Huaiyu has already lost his Sacred Heart?

Speaking of Fufeng County.

Fufeng is adjacent to Chun'an, if Xie Huaiyu is going to Fufeng to go to Fufeng this time, from Yingyang to Fufeng, Chun'an is indeed the only way to go.

During Xie Jinbai's tour of Chun'an, he was indeed very close to the former Jiancheng Xiao and the current Xiao Jiaoyu.On the way to the post, I passed by here, so I drove into the city to meet friends for a while, which is indeed credible.

only……

It's not like Tang Shimao didn't think that yesterday's bride was Xie Huaiyu in disguise, and Miss Liang was knocked unconscious in the firewood room of the mansion, all because of Xie Huaiyu's hands and feet.

But such an idea just appeared in his mind, and Tang Shimao immediately denied it.

Send someone to knock out the daughter of the Hou Mansion, wear a wedding dress as a man, and marry Miss Liang into the Tang family.

Even though Tang Shimao had a big face, he was determined not to think that his son could make the fourth son of the Xie family do this.

Furthermore, since Xie Huaiyu returned to Yingyang, there has been no news at all for several months, and Tang'er had no contact with him during this period, which shows that Tang'er does not hold much weight in the heart of the Fourth Young Master Xie, and it is impossible for the other party to do it for Tang. So painstakingly.

Judging from yesterday's incident that Tang'er desperately wanted to fight against the marriage, Tang'er was clearly unaware that the new bride had been swapped.

But how to explain the laughter in Tang'er's room last night?

At that time, who was the "lady" Tanger was calling?

The more Tang Shimao thought about it, the more foggy he felt about it.

Since becoming the prefect of Chun'an, Tang Shimao has tried countless difficult cases.

But at this time, it is true that the incident of the real and fake newlyweds that happened to his son-in-law, and the fact that Xie Jinbai appeared on the son-in-law's bed for no reason caused him a lot of headaches.

His thoughts were like a mess, and he didn't have any clue at all.

Tang Shimao had no choice but to send a servant in the mansion to invite Xiao Yin here first, and meet Xiao Yin first.

Soon, Xiao Yin, accompanied by a servant from the mansion, rushed to the inner courtyard of the magistrate's mansion.

Seeing that Xie Jinbai was also there, Xiao Yin seemed quite surprised.

"My subordinate Xiao Fengyin pays homage to Mr. Tang."

Tang Shimao had a panoramic view of the interaction between Xiao Yin and Xie Jinbai just now, and then said to Xiao Yin, "Xiao Jiaoyu, please."

"Master."

Tang Xiaotang stood up and saluted Xiao Yin.

Xiao Yin smiled back.

Tang Shimao invited Xiao Yin to take a seat.

Xiao Yin sat down in the empty seat beside Xie Jinbai.

Tang Xiaotang saw that the father and son did not sit next to him, but chose to sit next to Xie Jinbai, and immediately poured out a new jar of vinegar.

That's right, how could he forget that Master and brother Xiaoyu used to communicate frequently before!

Tang Xiaotang's eyes were fixed on Xiao Yin and Xie Jinbai all the time.

Brother Xiaoyu now belongs to him alone!

No one is allowed to covet!

Even the wife can't do it!

After Xiao Yin sat down, Tang Shimao asked, "I have invited Xiao Jiaoyu to come this time, and I have something to ask in detail."

"Master Tang, there is no harm in asking."

"Because it is related to important matters in the old man's house, I ask Xiao Jiaoyu to answer the questions asked by the old man truthfully."

Hearing the seriousness of the matter, Xiao Yin couldn't help but sit up straight, and said seriously, "It's only natural, sir, thank you for asking."

"Just now, Mr. Xie told the old man that he was going to Fufeng County to take up his post this time, passing through Chun'an, so he deliberately drove into the city just to get together with Xiao Jiaoyu. Is there such a thing?"

Although Xie Jinbai himself had said before that he was going to Fufeng County to take up his post this time, and he would stay overnight at the inn in Chun'an, it was just a way, and he would come here by the way, but after listening to it again, Tang Xiaotang's heart was still sore .

Xiao Yin nodded, "It is true."

"Even so, would it be convenient for you to tell Master Xie when and when he entered the city, and stayed in the city for a few days, and whether he was with Xiao Jiaoyu all the time?"

I don't know why Tang Shimao asked him in such detail about the meeting between Xie Huaiyu and him, but after hearing the words, he answered in a straightforward manner, "Huaiyu came to Chun'an five days ago, because I have to go to the academy to teach during the day. , so we don’t always care about it during the period. But every time after school, I will go to the inn to look for Huaiyu.”

Tang Shimao cast his eyes on Xie Jinbai, his eyes suddenly turned sharp, "Since Mr. Xie is going to Fufeng County to take up his post, and according to what Xiao Jiaoyu said, Mr. Xie arrived in Chun'an five days ago, why is he still staying in the city?"

Tang Xiaotang also looked at Xie Jinbai.

Since I arrived in Chun'an five days ago, why did I stay in the city?

Is it because something went wrong?

That accident... but him?

Xie Jinbai gave an irrelevant answer, "It's because Huaiyu is afraid of death."

Tang Shimao suspected that he had misheard, "You, what did you say?"

"Fufeng County is seriously plagued by banditry. Huaiyu is only a weak scholar, and only Gongming and one entourage are around him. I don't want to go to Fufeng County so soon to take up the post."

Tang Xiaotang: "..."

It was the first time for him to hear people say that greed for life and fear of death were understated and so taken for granted.

Tang Shimao was really speechless by Fourth Young Master Xie's words, and for a moment, he didn't know how to respond.

However, if it was him who was appointed by the imperial court to be the magistrate of Fufeng County where bandits are rampant, I'm afraid...

cough cough.

Tang Shimao asked Xie Jinbai and Xiao Yin a few questions one after another. There was no contradiction in their answers, and they should be telling the truth.

From this point of view, Xie Jinbai should have nothing to do with beating up the daughter of the Marquis Mansion and pretending to be a newlywed to marry into the Tang family.

Even if I asked Xiao Yin for questioning, I didn't expect that the matter was still not cleared up, and the whole matter was still in the fog.

Tang Shimao slapped heavily on the armrest of the chair angrily, "I don't know who is so vile, to do such vile things!"

Xie Jin's expression remained unchanged, "Huaiyu believes that things will come to light one day."

The other party was able to sneak into the Hou's mansion without anyone noticing, knocking out Miss Hou's mansion, pretending to be Miss Liang without being discovered, and being so powerful that he stunned Xie Huaiyu, and put him on Tang'er's bed, wanting to investigate How easy is it to know who the other party is?

Since Xie Jinbai had nothing to do with this matter, Tang Shimao couldn't detain him anymore, and even wished to drive him out of the house.

Tang Shimao euphemistically issued an order to evict the guest, "Since the matter has nothing to do with Mr. Xie..."

"Prefect Tang, Huaiyu has something to ask."

The word "Xiangqiu" comes from a person of Xie Huaiyu's stature, and it carries too much weight!

Even if Tang Shimao had a bad premonition in his heart and didn't want to answer this question, due to Xie Jinbai's identity, he couldn't scan him face to face, so he had to take advantage of the situation and said, "Master Xie is serious, but it's okay to say it."

"Last night, although Huaiyu's consciousness was not very clear, she vaguely remembered what happened with the young master at night. Although Yu dare not boast that he is indomitable, he also understands how to write the word "responsible."

Xie Jinbai stood up from his seat, came to Tang Shimao, bowed, crossed his hands, and said in a loud voice, "Xie Si, Xie Huaiyu, the second son of the prefect of Chun'an, please marry Tang Weimian.

In this life, Xie Huaiyu will never disappoint Tang Weimian.

If you go against today's words, may you live forever, suffer from the burning fire, and not enter reincarnation! "
