Chapter 34 The Man Behind the Scenes (Part 1 of 2)

  A conversation between Tong Huan and Tong Ping, the green bamboo in the house heard clearly, so when several people entered the house later, two of them were already sitting at the table, pretending to have been talking for a long time.

  When everyone came in, Yun'er and Qing Sang stood up to pay their respects. Tong Kun also paid his respects to his new empress sister.

  After finishing the ceremony, he rushed to Qing's side, hugged her waist and refused to let go.

  Everyone who saw it couldn't help but smile, children's nature is like that, even if they are a bit rude, nobody will mind.

  Tang Kun looked at it and truly envied him, although he also had brothers and sisters, but it was hard to have such a casual relationship. When they met each other, they were all polite and talked about national affairs and politics, which was very boring. Seeing Jing Yu being able to act coquettishly with his sister made Tang Kun feel even more envious.

  Everyone at the table was preoccupied with their own thoughts, except for two children, and for a moment they all sat there in silence.

  Someone was about to speak up, but startled everyone present.

  "Hey, sis, what's wrong with your neck? Why are there so many red marks on it? Were you bitten by bugs?"

  Everyone who heard it changed their expression, especially Qing Sang was completely red in the face. Tong Xun also looked embarrassed, while Ge Yun'er had a gloomy face with hatred in her eyes.

  The sixth prince, Tang Ping, had already seen through the situation and smiled, saying: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and it's natural for there to be more insects. Miss Pu's skin is as white as snow, making it easier to attract some mosquitoes to bite her. However, these mosquitoes are quite interesting, and the marks they leave behind are thought-provoking."

  Qing Sang felt ashamed after hearing Jing Yu's careless words, and now that she heard Tong Ping's hint, she wanted to find a hole in the ground to hide in. Subconsciously, she pulled at her thin clothes, trying to cover herself up, but unfortunately, they were too thin and transparent to conceal anything. Qing Sang pulled her hair over her shoulder to cover the love bites on her neck and shoulders.

  It's as if it has become even more real because of this.

  Tang Xuan saw Qing Xiao's soul falling, her soul not guarding the house, unable to counterattack, and her heart was also distressed. She knew that at this moment, a woman's chastity was important, no matter how clever she usually was, or how quick-witted her words were. Suddenly encountering such an accident, she would be anxious and flustered. So, she helped Qing Xiao out of the situation by saying: "This house is quite old, it can't be avoided that there are some strange insects. Miss Pu was bitten by mistake, after going back, applying medicine in time should heal the wound."

  "This bug is quite peculiar, it only bites Miss Pu!" Tang Ping sneered.

  "Maybe it's because little sister has such tender skin that the insects like her so much?" Ge Yun'er also said with a sarcastic tone.

  Tang Xun narrowed his eyes slightly and said displeased: "You two are quite tacit"

  Ge Yun'er's face suddenly lost its color, while Tong Ping smiled awkwardly.

  Others thought that Tang Xun's words were just sour, but Ge Yun'er knew that Tang Xun was annoyed by her chatter, so she quickly shut her mouth and didn't dare to speak again.

  Several men continued to chat on some topics, while Qing Sang and Yun Er, two women, just listened quietly.

  Two seven or eight year old children were chatting, but soon became impatient. Tong Kun was clamoring to eat the recommended lion's head and almond tofu by Jing Yu. Qing Sang and Tong Xuan didn't know that the food box had been taken away by someone who came in not long ago to serve tea, and it wasn't convenient to call someone to look for it, so they were exposed. Qing Sang could only lie and say that he forgot to bring it.

  "Seventh brother, the little virtuous one in your mansion is really not good at handling things. He clearly agreed to let Qingyu sister bring some delicious food for Poyu sister, but he forgot and didn't even remind her." Tang Kun's words made Qing Shao feel both surprised and delighted. It seemed that the relationship between Qing Yu and Tang Kun was extraordinary, which was why Tang Kun would call him "sister" like that. This way, things will be good for Qing Yu in the future.

  Tang Xuan heard this and suddenly had an idea, calling in Xiao Dezi from outside the door.

  Xiao Dezi knelt on the ground and greeted everyone's master.

  "The Eighth Prince says you're incompetent and should apologize quickly" Tang Yun said with feigned intent.

  Xiao Dezi knelt on the ground, filled with confusion and uncertainty about what he had done wrong, but didn't dare ask for a reason, so he could only muddle through an apology to the Eighth Prince.

  "Never mind, never mind, get up." Tong Kun said, swinging his legs on the chair and shaking his head.

  Xiao Dezi hastily kowtowed to thank him

  Tang Xuan ordered him to calm down and asked him to take away the two cups of tea on the table and bring some new ones.

  Xiao Dezi's heart skipped a beat, he had never been to this place before, how would he know where the tea was? But since Master had given the order, it was something that had to be done, so he quickly went forward to collect the cup.

  "Huh?" Little Dezi had just stepped forward when he heard the Eighth Prince exclaim, thinking he had done something wrong, and was so frightened that he knelt down again.

  "What doubts does Eighth Brother have?" Tang Xun asked intentionally

  Tang Kun rushed towards Xiao Dezi and said: "Get up and lift your head for Ben Dianxia to see"

  Xiao Dezi had no choice but to stand up, slightly raising his head, only his eyes dared not look at the Eighth Prince, and instead looked down at the ground with a humble expression.

  "Is this Little Dezi beside Seventh Brother?" Tang Kun asked Tang Xun

  "It is" Tong Xuan smiled and replied

  "It looks like it is, but looking closely again, it seems not" Tong Kun muttered to himself.

  "What did Eighth Brother say? It's one thing and then another," asked Tong Huan, glancing at Tong Ping as he finished speaking.

  Tang Ping's face turned slightly pale, but his expression remained calm.

  "I think this little Dezi doesn't seem like the one I've seen before, Ke Yun, come take a look and see if it's the same one?" Tong Kun shouted.

  Jing Yu looked carefully and said uncertainly: "It looks very similar, but it doesn't seem to be him either. That little Dezi has been keeping his head down all the time, I didn't get a good look."

  Qing Sang listened and suddenly became vigilant. Just now, he was still immersed in the sudden change, but at this moment, it seemed that everything was calculated, and the key to all of this was "Xiao Dezi".

  Staring at the little devil in front of him, he carefully examined his appearance and found that they were very similar, but their expressions were different. He had only taken a glance at him at the gate of his own mansion back then, and afterwards he had kept his head down, so he hadn't gotten a good look.

  Tang Xun looked at Tang Kun, who was also uncertain. He glanced at Qing Sang and saw that she too was hesitant. After a moment of contemplation, he let Xiao Dezi go down.

  Tang Kun and Qing Yu couldn't sit still any longer, jumping down from their chairs to go to the courtyard where rain had just stopped, and the scent of fresh grass and flowers wafted from the yard.

  Tang Ping saw the situation and suggested going to the hospital together to take a look.

  Qing Sang declined politely and bid farewell, saying she had to return to her residence first.

  Tang Xun nodded, and Ge Yun'er accompanied her to take the royal carriage they had used on their way here back to the Pu manor. Jing Yu also asked to go with his sister back to the manor. Tang Kun was playful and also wanted to go to the Pu manor to see what it was like. As a result, Qing Sang, Yun'er, Jing Yu, and Tang Kun, four people in total, went together to the Pu manor.

  Tang Ping strolled around the courtyard for a while before bidding farewell and leaving.

  When there was only Tong Xuan in the courtyard, Yi quietly approached and whispered some words into Tong Xuan's ear.

  Tang Xuan heard this and smiled coldly, praising: "Well done!"
