Chapter 259 Fu Shizi Asked Her Out for a Walk

Tang Jian bowed his head: "Returning to the prince, we have known each other for more than a year. Last October, I met her at my classmates."

"I don't know how much Mr. Tang gives Xueniang to chew?"

The trial of the case has nothing to do with the yamen of the five cities, but he is a majestic prince, and no one dares to say a word of nonsense if he wants to have a trial.

Tang Jian curled his hands on his knees, and replied, "Xiaosheng gave her 20 taels of silver, and there is a servant. All other expenses are mine."

"Does Mr. Tang have property?"

Tang Jianmo kept his voice low for a long time: "Currently, most of the family property is in the hands of the public office. Except for the two rented-out support shops, Xiaosheng only has the monthly expenses of the public office."

"There are only two shops that support families, and you raise women outside?" Yang Su couldn't help frowning.

Xie Peng glanced at him.

Tang Jian's chest rose and fell, he clenched his fists and said, "My lord doesn't know, but Xueniang is gentle, considerate, and caring."

Yang Su looked at him for a while, and waved to Guan Su: "I found this from Xue Niang's residence, does Mr. Tang know these?"

Tang Jian looked at the pile of shards of makeup brocade and the big peanuts in the jar, his waist immediately became stiff.

"I've never bought such a fine satin for her. It's not easy to get it. In the Tang family, only mistresses are qualified to wear it! How could she have these?"

Yang Su looked at him for a long while, and said, "I don't know either. But this is what you call a 'caring person'."

Tang Jian seemed to have been slapped, his face was red, and he kept gritting his teeth while holding a rag in his trembling hand.

He murmured: "It's just that she was taken away by Chen Xiong, how could she return——no! She won't lie to me!"

"Then you think we are lying to you?" Xie Peng asked.

Tang Jian's face turned pale again.

Yang Su waved someone to take him down.Then he braced his forehead and said: "Besides Tang Jian and Chen Xiong, this Xueniang must have a man, and this man, maybe he was the one who killed her with Chen Xiong's sword.

"So it's really hard to say who the child in her belly is. But the key is why did this person kill her?"

Xie Peng said: "After returning to the mansion, I will send people to inquire around her residence." Then he said: "How will Fu Rong deal with it? He sent a post to the palace in the afternoon."

"Push if you can." Yang Su said, "When he comes, I can't help but let him go. If he lets go, the Sun family will definitely not let him go."

Xie Peng looked at him: "I'm just afraid that he will go to Osmanthus Alley."

Yang Su paused and raised his head.

……

At noon, Shaoqing brought Cheng Chun and Liu Xiao over for dinner, Shaoqing mentioned that it was going to be a yearly event where soldiers and horses would be sent to Beijing for drills, this year Rong Yin would be the head coach.

Speaking of Rong Yin, Changying couldn't help thinking of meeting him in the palace that day, she asked Zixiang: "Why hasn't Xiuxiu come back these days?"

Zixiang was also puzzled: "I haven't seen her coming for several days. The servants sent someone to ask."

Changying nodded and skipped it.

For the military defense of the capital, the imperial court mobilizes tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the designated guards for military training every year. As the imperial guards in the imperial army, the Tengxiang Four Guards, who are responsible for the permanent guards, naturally have to pick out a group of people to participate in the training. She has to be responsible for dialing people herself.

When Fu Rong arrived, she had just finished her work.

"What's going on with the Tang family?" she asked.

"No progress." Fu Rong smiled wryly, "That day at the Yamen in Wucheng, Xie Peng blocked me back, and I knew it was difficult, so I don't blame him.

"But our old lady has been worrying for days, and my grandson is really uncomfortable to watch, and since my father is not here, I can't ignore the Tang family's affairs.

"But I sent two posts to the prince, and he also said that he is busy recently, so I don't know what to do."

Changying actually guessed this was the result.

Ordinarily, Fu Rong helped them in his school field after all, so she should introduce Yang Su for him. No matter what the situation is, it's good for him to know Yang Su's difficulties.

But she shouldn't get involved in this matter.

She said: "Now the Sun family and the Chen family are refusing to withdraw the lawsuit. It is not in compliance with the rules to let people go at the moment. Why don't we wait for a couple of days?"

Fu Rongdao: "I think so too."

Changying said: "Is it okay, old lady?"

"Fortunately, the old man is just a little impatient." He served tea.

Changying thought about it: "Why didn't you think of going to the palace to block the prince?"

Fu Rong smiled and said: "Don't you know? The eunuch in the palace said that he went out of the city to hunt in the past few days."

Changying really didn't know.

Fu Rong put down his glass, and suddenly looked at her: "It's rare that the weather is sunny, and you haven't gone out for a long time, why don't I walk with you?"

Changying smiled and shook her head: "No."

Fu Rong looked at the three characters "Tengxiangwei" on the cover of the document on her desktop, and said with a smile: "I will take you to a place, and you will gain something."

……

Yang Su is locked in the palace, watching the news about Xueniang that Xie Pengxin found out.

Xie Peng guessed that Fu Rong would go to the Shen family to find Changying as a lobbyist, and he thought it was very possible.But based on Changying's relationship with these noble children, it is impossible for him to stop Changying.

The best way is to pretend not to be there, so that even if Chang Ying came to the door, he would not be able to see him, and there would be no embarrassment for each other.

"No one has ever seen men other than Tang Jian and Chen Xiong appear in Xueniang's house, and the relationship between Chen Xiong and Xueniang is still semi-possessive.

"The strength of the Chen family is not as strong as that of the Tang family. If they hadn't relied on Sun Xie, they would have no way to separate themselves from the Tang family.

"Tang Jian can't even afford Xue Niang's expenses, let alone Chen Xiong."

Yang Su frowned more and more after reading it, and finally raised his head: "It means that there is indeed another person, but his actions are hidden and no one has noticed.

"He gave Xueniang a lot of money, and he was able to bring her back to him. He didn't do that. Xueniang has such a rich man by her side, so she has no reason to turn around and pester Tang Jian who has no income. .”

"So it's unreasonable." Xie Peng folded his arms, "And what is the purpose of that person doing this?"

Yang Su raised his hand and groaned for a while, then said, "Maybe it's for the Tang family."

"reason?"

"Because Xueniang sent a message to Tang Jian after she found out that she was pregnant." Yang Su looked at him, "In this way, she may want to use the child in her belly to win a chance to be with Tang Jian.

"So she came back again. She obviously has a better benefactor, so why is she still pestering Tang Jian?"

Xie Peng frowned for a moment and said, "The Tang family has a secret."

"No." Yang Su pondered, "Maybe Tang Jian has a secret. Tong Qi has already inquired about Tang Jian's two shops, and the sum of the annual rent is only as much as he gives to Xue Niang.

"The key point is that Tang Jian's wife is still in charge of the money. So all he can control is the monthly bills of the mansion.

"But unless he doesn't go out to eat, drink and socialize, how can he spend 20 taels of silver a month to support the outside room?"

Xie Peng frowned, thought for a while, got up and said, "I'll go and have Tang Jian interrogated immediately."

Tong Qi almost collided with him, hurried in and said, "My lord, Fu Rong, he went out for a walk with General Shen!"
