No matter which sentence Xiao Chengyan couldn't say, so he chose to shut up.

At night, the entire Duke's Mansion and Lin'an City were quiet, but something happened in the next county town. There was a conflict between the secret guards sent by Liang Qing and the guards stationed to guard Aqiu's family.

The secret contest and investigation between the two sides finally could no longer keep calm.

The local county government couldn't handle it, so the case was handed over to Jing Zhaoyin early the next morning.

In Lin'an Xu Mansion.

It was daylight, and in the yard, Xu Shi was dressed in normal clothes, standing under the corridor, staring and scolding the bastard son who was kneeling on the ground: "You are going to the brothel, just go secretly. You still have to force a woman from a good family, who is still the old man in the Duke's mansion." Your maid, you! You..."

In the middle of his speech, he suddenly clutched his chest, and the mistress at the side hurried forward, held his arm, and persuaded him: "Master, calm down, don't be angry anymore."

Xu Heng also knew that things were getting serious, so he kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Father, my son knows his mistake. It's time, and only you can think of a way."

Xu Shisan heard the news a few days ago, and fainted on the spot out of anger. After taking a rest for two days, he has been secretly helping his only son Xu Heng deal with this scandal.Unexpectedly, by mistake, the case was transferred to Dali Temple this time.

Xu Heng crawled up to Xu Shi, pulled his trouser legs and said, "The Duke of Zhen wanted to fight against you! The maid was expelled from the house, but she got involved with me. Duke Zhen remembered this Maid, he clearly wants to use your poor son's hand to pull you off your horse!"

This incident was originally Xu Heng's fault, but in the end he said it was a factional struggle between the DPRK and China, and he just poured dirty water on Liang Qing.Xu Shi frowned slightly after hearing this, but he didn't have the energy to teach him.

He sighed deeply. He was famous all his life, loyal to two emperors, and served the country and the people, but in the end he didn't even teach his own son well.

Xu Shi's face darkened, he considered for a long time, and finally chose his own son, he said: "Miss Aqiu's family is still in our hands, before the people from Dali Temple come, let's kill them... .”

Early in the morning, Liang Qingbian was woken up, butler Tao said, "Grandpa, Guiyi is here."

Guiyi told Liang Qing that the secret guard of the Duke's Mansion was discovered by the guards of the Xu Mansion.

Liang Qing gathered the quilt, his long hair was scattered over his shoulders, and there was still a trace of confusion on his face.

His white singlet was draped over his body, even his eyes were as indifferent as the morning mist, he frowned and said in a low voice: "The Xu family knows that we have found it?"

Gui Yi said: "Yes."

Although they don't have much evidence now, after the investigation by Dali Temple officials, they found that Aqiu had been entangled with Xu Heng seven days ago. After that, apart from his family and neighbors, the only person who had been with Aqiu was Xu Heng.

Ah Qiu's elder brother, Ah Song, even told the neighbors about Xu Heng's identity. At that time, everyone thought that Ah Qiu was going to climb a high branch.

For the specific details, grab Xu Heng or Xu Heng's personal servant and interrogate him to find out.

However, there was a conflict between Liang Qing's hidden guards and Xu's guards, making it impossible to resolve the matter in private.Liang Qing pulled off the quilt and said, "Help me up."

Xiuxiu hurried over to dress and wash him.

However, as soon as Liang Qing's wheelchair was pushed out of the room, the staff members of the mansion lifted their clothes and knelt down and said, "Your Excellency, you know that Xu Ge is over half a hundred years old, and Xu Heng is the only lifeline under his knees. He is a precious treasure on weekdays."

"This matter is a murder case. Once it is made public and under pressure, Dali Temple must not forgive lightly. Capital crimes can be avoided, but living crimes cannot be escaped. If you leave, you will really be at odds with Xu Ge."

The early morning wind brought a faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus, Xiao Chengyan walked into the main courtyard, just in time to hear the staff's loud voice of "Incompatibility".

Xiao Chengyan raised his head to look at Liang Qing, and chose to let it go, Xu Shi will definitely remember this kind of favor in the future, and maybe he will stand by Liang Qing's side in the future.

On the other hand, is the truth of the matter.But no one chooses the truth.

Xiao Chengyan's father once warned him to have a pure heart. He tried to do it, but he got bloody in this dark and ugly world.

He was very curious what would happen to Liang Qing.

Liang Qing looked down at the staff kneeling on the ground, his eyes were very light, and because of lack of sleep, there was a tired breath between his brows.He was wearing dark clothes with wide sleeves hanging down to his knees. Although he was sitting in a wheelchair, people couldn't help but hold their breath and look at him.

His expression was as cold as frost: "Get out of the way."

The staff froze.

Xiao Chengyan frowned slightly.Liang Qing said: "If I just give up the bottom line of being an official and a person in order to win over the courtiers and gain power, will anyone still believe me?"

Xiao Chengyan suddenly discovered that Liang Qing was different from them. Like the staff, they only analyzed the pros and cons, and often only chose the thing that was in their best interests, but Liang Qing would consider more things.

However, in this way, you will think too much and value too much, and you will end up living very tired.

Xiao Chengyan didn't expect that he was such a person.

Liang Qing turned her head and asked, "Gui Yi, what do you think?"

Without even thinking about it, Gui Yi said, "Listen to your lord."

Liang Qing said: "Okay, you push me out."

Xiao Chengyan frowned. Seeing this, the staff couldn't persuade him, and stared blankly.Arriving at the back door of the mansion, Liang Qing was about to get on the sedan chair, but Xiao Chengyan stepped forward and said: "I'll go together."

Liang Qingdao: "Your injury is not yet fully recovered, and you have soldiers from the government, what are you doing here?"

"It's much better. Outside of Lin'an City, no one will recognize me." Xiao Chengyan said, "If your lord goes there in person, you have to take a carriage, which travels slowly. Xu's mansion will most likely kill people if they receive the news."

Liang Qing didn't expect this, and said: "People in the Gui area, first go to ensure the safety of Aqiu's family."

He thought for a while, looked at Xiao Chengyan, and said, "Then you follow."

This was the first time Liang Qing left Lin'an City.

He set off suddenly, and not many people in Lin'an City noticed him yet.Although there is an official road, the road outside the capital is still a bit bumpy for a horse-drawn carriage.

Liang Qing had been sitting in a wheelchair for a long time, and now she couldn't stand the bumps again.

He frowned slightly and coughed twice from time to time.Because she got up early, Liang Qing would be woken up by the sudden jolt if she wanted to close her eyes and rest for a while.

Although the wheelchair was covered with soft cushions, it was still made of wood. His tailbone, waist, abdomen, and back were so sore from the impact.

After a while, Liang Qing opened the curtain, and the person below was Xiao Chengyan who was walking with the team. The other party raised his head, looked at Liang Qing with shallow pupils, and asked.

Although Xiao Chengyan has a cold face all the year round, when he is stared at by his light-colored eyes, he will have an illusion of tenderness.

Liang Qing said: "You come up."

Xiao Chengyan hesitated for a moment, Liang Qing said: "What are you doing in a daze, I'm afraid that I will eat you up?"

Xiao Chengyan thought about it, and got into the carriage from the front.

The carriage was made high because of Liang Qing's wheelchair, but for Xiao Chengyan, it was impossible to stand upright.He bent down, came to Liang Qing, had no choice but to half-kneel, and said in doubt: "My lord asked me to come—"

Suddenly a slender white hand was protruded in front of him, Xiao Chengyan's voice stopped.

Liang Qing said: "Help me down. I want to lie down for a while."

Xiao Chengyan sometimes doubts where Liang Qing's incomparable trust in him comes from.

It's not that Liang Qing is not vigilant. His cognitive bias towards Xiao Chengyan comes from being too impressed with Long Aotian in the early stage of the original book. Perhaps from the very beginning, he regarded Xiao Chengyan as a gentleman who needs care and is worthy of trust.

There was no escalator on the carriage, Xiao Chengyan spread a layer of soft cotton cloth, Liang Qing asked the driver to stop first, then turned to Xiao Chengyan and said, "Where's your black cloth?"

Xiao Chengyan was taken aback, remembering the black cloth that was blindfolded in the hot spring pool before, and said, "It's gone."

Liang said lightly: "Then close your eyes."

Xiao Chengyan nodded, and Liang Qing slowly got off the wheelchair with the strength of Xiao Chengyan's arm.

Because Liang Qing's legs didn't have any support, the weight equivalent to his whole body was hung on Xiao Chengyan's arm, Liang Qing's grip on the opponent's arm suddenly tightened, the muscle felt really hard.

Unexpectedly, even if he was injured, Long Aotian's physical fitness was still so good.

Liang Qing sat down, but still reluctantly squeezed it twice, when she raised her head, she found Xiao Chengyan staring at herself with deep eyes.

Liang Qingna withdrew her hand, Long Aotian is indeed a straight man, won't he let the same sex touch him?

The soft bed-like cushion was much more comfortable than a wheelchair. Liang Qingping lay down, and his waist and abdomen felt much more comfortable. He breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Xiao Chengyan, can you massage?"

Xiao Chengyan: "...No."

Liang Qing let out a sigh, full of dissatisfaction with the servant who is not good at this business, and said: "You are in the house, if you want to be filial to your mother, don't you know how to massage or something?"

Xiao Chengyan said: "There is a personal maid."

Liang nodded lightly.In the original book, Xiao Chengyan and his parents are very restrained people.King Yu was strict with his son and hoped that his son would be capable of writing and martial arts. Xiao Chengyan was sent to a private school to study when he was young.

King Yu and his wife are not as close as glue, because they have been fighting all the year round, get together less and leave more, but they are not without feelings.Princess Yu hanged herself in the palace, one is to clear the name of the palace, and the other is to leave for love.

In the later stage of the original book, Long Aotian, who has turned into a tyrant, is as cold as a machine without emotion. It is still very refreshing to read, but there is more of a sense of sadness.

Liang Qing said: "Then when you grew up, did you have a maid in your room? Did you teach you how to do something?"

Xiao Chengyan was stunned.

Liang lightly touched his nose, combined with the previous rumors about Ah Qiu, saying that he abused the maid or something.He also heard that in ancient times, when a boy grew up, there would always be a maid or something in his room.He has never experienced it, so he is very curious.

Xiao Chengyan was still half-kneeling on the ground at this moment, holding the short blade at his waist with one hand, he had no intention of hurting anyone, he was just a little dazed by anger.

This person, who is so sickly and weak, always has a tired look on his brows, still, still thinking about these things?

Does he know that he... can't bear it?

After a while, Xiao Chengyan said, "Never."

"When it's time, the lord will call me again." Xiao Chengyan finished speaking in a cold voice, and jumped off the carriage.

He moved so fast that Liang Qing couldn't even call him. He touched his nose and hummed dissatisfiedly, "Why are you so fierce all of a sudden?"
