Chapter 59 Tea

Yu Qiu touched his face lightly with his fingertips, but couldn't find anything unusual. He went to the dressing table and took a look in the mirror, then turned and looked at Yun Heng quietly.

The rouge had no flowers at all, and Yu Qiu knew he was lying.

Even if you know it, you can't expose him, or he will have an excuse to be angry.Yu Qiu said: "Then you are not angry anymore?"

Yun Heng looked at her without changing his expression, "I'm not as stingy as you."

Yu Qiu retorted him slightly, "I'm not stingy." She walked towards Yun Heng and asked the original question, "Did you agree to help me?"

Yun Heng didn't let go, "Let's see what it is first."

Afraid that delaying his time would miss his business, Yu Qiu calculated the time, Yu Yanzong would be here soon, urged him to go to Lianhu first, and told him about Captain Xiao on the way.

"Abandon the construction of the palace?" Yun Heng's thoughts turned. The matter of the palace is a foregone conclusion. It just started a few days ago, and it is unlikely to stop now.

Seeing him pondering, Yu Qiu became nervous, "Is it difficult?"

"It's not difficult." Yun Heng said, "I was wondering why Captain Xiao made this request to you, it's unreasonable."

It is not a big deal for the emperor to build a palace, it has happened in all dynasties.The reason Taiwei Xiao objected was that during the reign of the first emperor, there were frequent wars, and the treasury already suffered losses, and he had to award rewards to small border countries every year, wasting money on things for pleasure, which is indeed not the work of a wise king.

He hadn't been able to stop him before, but at this time, Taiwei Xiao used going to Mrs. Yu's grave to pay homage as a bargaining chip, asking Yu Qiu to beg him to stop her. This behavior and purpose were not so reasonable.

"Who first proposed the conditions for visiting your mother's grave?" Yun Heng asked.

"Grandfather." Yu Qiu replied honestly, "I originally wanted to wait until later, when the relationship eased a bit, before inviting him."

Yun Heng laughed lightly, and said: "That is to say, he has always kept this thought in his heart, and he just took this opportunity to bring it up."

Yu Qiu was surprised, thinking about the meaning of his words, his heart beating faster, and he grabbed his arm and asked eagerly: "You mean that he wants to pay homage to my mother, and he can't save his face, so he said that on purpose?"

"It's not impossible." Yun Heng said.

He wanted to pay homage to Mrs. Yu, but he didn't want to deal with Yu Xingshu, so he could only start with Yu Qiu.However, Yu Qiu thought a lot, and was afraid of being rejected, so he didn't dare to mention it, so he raised it first.

Yu Qiu had doubts about this, he hesitated and said: "Then if the Holy Majesty can't be stopped...won't he just go?"

Yun Heng let out a "tsk" and said, "Even if it doesn't work this time, next time he asks you to do other things, will you agree?"

"Yes, I promised him, satisfied him, and then begged him to pay homage to my mother..."

Yu Qiu stopped, his bright black eyes blinking towards Yun Heng.

She figured it out, regardless of whether the palace affairs could be completed or not, the matter of letting Captain Xiao go to pay respects to Mrs. Yu's grave had already sprouted in her heart.

Xiao Taiwei gave hope that Yu Qiu would always think about this matter, and would ask him to go if he had the opportunity.

"Then, does he want me to pass the steps for him, or is he using me?" Yu Qiu was worried, she didn't want to admit that Captain Xiao was just using her.

In her previous life, Taiwei Xiao died for no apparent reason, and Yu Qiu had no contact with him.In his life, he spoke harshly, but except for Mrs. Yu and emotional matters, he never insulted Yu Qiu, and he never disliked her for not being smart enough like others.

He is the head of the family, and if he really hates what he says, Xiao Qingning and his brother will not be taught to be like this.

Yu Qiu said: "Although I don't understand and there is no evidence, I think he is kind to me, and everyone in the house is also kind to me..."

"Probably I want you to give him a step up, just to save face." Yun Heng said, "I don't know what he is like as a father, but he is indeed a good official who thinks about the people.The court and the people will consider it."

Both the expressed purpose and the ultimate purpose are good, and only Yu Qiu and him are in trouble.why?

Yun Heng couldn't figure this out, but judging from the attitude of the rest of the Xiao family towards Yu Qiu and the behavior of Taiwei Xiao recently, he has no malicious intentions.

Yun Heng has a way to stop the palace

Building, but I don't like how Taiwei Xiao coaxed Yu Qiu.After pondering for a while, he said, "Ge Qi knows where your mother's grave is, right? You give him to me."

Yu Qiuxin mentioned: "What... does he want him to do?"

"Let him take someone pretending to be a gravedigger to make trouble in front of your mother's grave, and see what the Taiwei will do."

If he really didn't care about Madam Yu, he probably didn't even know where Madam Yu's tomb was, let alone interfere with it.on the contrary……

Yun Heng smiled, "As long as he is hard-spoken and soft-hearted... I will take you to catch him when the time comes, um, call the rest of the Xiao family and your father, okay?"

Yu Qiu imagined that if Captain Xiao didn't care about Mrs. Yu, these "graved thieves" were just pretending, they wouldn't damage Mrs. Yu's grave, and they could let her see Captain Xiao's attitude clearly.

If Taiwei Xiao was furious and went to teach others a lesson, and was caught by so many people on the spot...

Yu Qiu thought about what Taiwei Xiao's face would be like at that time, and wanted to laugh a little. He felt that this was not good, so he tried his best to hold back, put on a solemn look, and nodded slightly.

Her emotions leaked from the corners of her eyes and was captured by others. Yun Heng suddenly pinched her chin and said, "Laugh if you want to."

He rubbed Yu Qiu's face a few times, and Yu Qiu didn't hold back, and giggled.

"Want to see your grandfather's jokes, and is he full of bad intentions?"

"I'm just thinking about it." Yu Qiu grabbed his hand and pulled it out, smiling, "You are the one, you came up with the idea."

Yu Qiu was full of this plan, and forgot about Yu Yanzong's affairs, and only remembered it when he was near Lianhu Lake.Compared with this matter, Yu Yanzong is not worth mentioning.

When she got off the carriage, because of the uncertainty in her heart, she couldn't help asking Yun Heng again: "What if he really just stood by and watched?"

Yun Heng said: "Then let people dig his grave after he dies."

Yu Qiu heard him say such absurd things in serious words, and suppressed a smile to blame him, "I'm serious."

Seriously, Yu Qiu wanted Taiwei Xiao to move his face, so even if Taiwei Xiao was really hard-hearted and ignored it, Yun Heng would coerce and lure him to come to Mrs. Yu's grave, as Yu Qiu wished.

On the long embankment of Lianhu Lake, willows and willows, and fields of lotus leaves in the lake overlap and extend to the distance. The lotus flowers blooming on it are just in time.

The scenery is pleasant, and there are already several small boats shuttled slowly in the lake.

The servant girl who had received Yu Qiu's order earlier said, "Miss, I seem to have seen Young Master Yu."

Yu Qiu had an appointment with Yu Yanzong, but Yun Heng couldn't know about it, so he asked the maid to mention it, pretending that they met by chance.

"What a coincidence!" Yu Qiu bluffed, "I didn't even think about it... I just want to ask him something, Your Highness, can I go and have a few words with him?"

The stiff acting skills fell into Yun Heng's eyes, and Yun Heng thought he was blind.His purpose today was to get Yu Qiu to scold him back, so he didn't deliberately make it difficult, and said, "Then go."

There is a peach blossom forest near Lianhu Lake. The peach blossoms have already faded away, and no one will come here.There is a small pavilion with four corners in the lush forest, Yu Yanzong has been waiting here for a long time.

When he received the letter from Yu Qiu's messenger, he thought that Yu Qiu had changed his mind, and the joy he was full of was shattered the moment he saw Yun Heng's figure.

The two walked along the path, their looks, temperament and other aspects were impeccably matched, and the smile on Yu Qiu's face was even more beautiful than when she was with him.

Just by looking at him like this, he is already as humble as an ant in the dust.

Yu Yanzong turned to look at the tea on the table that had been prepared in advance, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and he took out a pack of medicinal powder with trembling hands.

Yu Qiu approached, and Yun Heng stayed not far away to listen to the guard's report. Yu Yanzong bowed to him from a distance, and before he got up, Yu Qiu, who was walking to the pavilion, took a deep breath and asked loudly, "Are you willing to bribe me?"My servant girl, what else did you do?"

Yu Yanzong raised his head in astonishment, and subconsciously swept towards the many maidservants guarding the edge of the peach forest, among whom Cai Lan and the others had indeed disappeared.

His complexion changed, and he quickly turned his head to look at Yun Heng. Yun Heng was still giving instructions to the guards and did not look this way.

Finally, he faced Yu Qiu, and he deliberately suppressed his voice, and argued: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

, how could I bribe the maid in your house..."

Yu Qiu had already anticipated this situation, and said according to the pre-planned speech: "The maids have already been recruited, and my father took care of the old friendship to save face for you, and you still don't know how to repent."

At the beginning, Yu Xingshu didn't directly escort the maid to the door to denounce, but he was worried that she was the person who served Yu Qiu, and he was afraid that some rumors would spread and ruin Yu Qiu's reputation.

Now that Yu Qiu had changed from his usual timidity and said this out loud without mercy, Yu Yanzong's face was dull, and his low voice implied a threat: "Aren't you afraid that the crown prince will know?"

Yu Qiu frowned, and said, "It's not that I'm trying to do something wrong, I have nothing to be afraid of."

She was not afraid at all, because Yun Heng reminded her of this matter, and she only knew about it, not to mention that even if Yun Heng didn't know about it at the time, she should have heard about it from Ping Jiang later, he never mentioned it.

A small part of what Yu Qiu said was for Yu Yanzong, and the most important thing was to satisfy Yun Heng. She said loudly, "I will make it clear to you today. From now on, our two families will have nothing to do with each other!"

Yu Yanzong's face turned blue and white alternately, he was unwilling to be reconciled, he was afraid of being heard by Yun Heng, so he had to lower his voice, which made him even less imposing.

He asked scoldingly: "Are you breaking off the relationship because of such a trivial matter, or because you hooked up with the prince? You said it lightly, thanks to my mother's treatment of you in the past..."

"She and Yu Manxiu took me to a banquet, taking advantage of my father's absence, to smear my grandfather's family in every possible way, do you admit it or not?"

Yu Qiu's scolding made Yu Yanzong speechless, he didn't expect Yu Qiu to even know about it.

"You don't have to repay your kindness. I admit that I was taken care of by your mother when I was a child, but my father specially prepares enough thank-you gifts every year, and I have already thanked you. Not to mention that your family is not good at all.My father and I don’t owe you anything, if you continue to talk about this, then you are a shameless and despicable person.”

"I will not bother you about anything in the future. It is better to marry the prince than to marry a..." Yu Qiu did not sarcasm, and his words were not very fluent. He comforted himself in his heart and resolved this matter quickly.I can go to test Xiao Taiwei, so I continue cruelly.

"...It's better than marrying a man who is ordinary in terms of family background, appearance, and talent. Even if there are toads who have eaten swan meat, not every toad can eat it. I hope youknow."

After saying a few words, Yu Yanzong's face was ashen, he clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead kept throbbing because of shame and anger.

Yun Heng, who was waiting for Yu Qiu, and the servant girls who were guarding in the distance did not allow him to do anything, so he could only forcefully laugh, and said: "I'm afraid there may be some misunderstanding, your parents are familiar with my parents.The good marriage between the two is also thanks to my family, why do you put it so harshly..."

Yu Qiu's heart moved, and he looked at him in surprise, "Your parents contributed to my parents' marriage?"

Seeing that her attitude had softened, Yu Yanzong forced himself to speak in the same soothing tone, coaxing her as gently as he did when he was a child, and said: "Yes, do you want to know? Sit down and have a cup of tea, and I will tell you slowly."

Yu Qiu hesitated, looked at Yun Heng in the distance, and sat down with him.

Just when Yu Yanzong took a breath and relaxed, the tea handed to Yu Qiu was pushed back by her through the sleeve.

Yu Qiu said in a crisp voice: "I suspect there is something in the tea, drink it and let me see."
