Chapter 298 The Secret That Can't Be Said
"I just said how could the regent have a crush on the daughter of a small merchant. There has been no movement for so long. I'm afraid this marriage is just groundless!"

"It's not certain what you said. Maybe Miss Sang is just a low-key person, so she doesn't want to publicize it."

"It's possible, but our speculation is not completely unreasonable. But the gates of Li's residence have been closed these days, and it doesn't look like there is a wedding going on."

……

Upstairs, Mu Qiu was listening to the discussions downstairs.Tong Hao was sitting opposite her, and the corners of his lips curled up unconsciously as he looked at her.

"If the people below know that the person they are discussing is sitting upstairs, what expression do you think they will have?"

"I don't know what their expressions are, but your expression now is quite unworthy." Mu Qiu rolled her eyes at Tong Hao, expressing strong condemnation for his gloating.

"What does this have to do with me?" Tong Hao spread his hands to express his innocence.

"It's none of your business. It's all Helian's fault. You don't discuss such a big matter with me. Now everyone in Beiliang City knows..." Mu Qiu complained and sighed, but Tong Hao looked at her. The clear expression did not seem to be the blame that he said, but a bit of secret joy.

He froze for a moment, then took his gaze away from Mu Qiu, then picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down in one gulp.He looked at the willow tree outside the window, as if he was dodging something.

"Tong Hao! I'm talking to you, what are you thinking?" Mu Qiu's shout brought him back from his thoughts.

"Nothing, I just think the bird on the tree looks pretty."

Mu Qiu quickly followed his gaze: "Where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

"Probably flew away!" He retracted his gaze, "What did you want to say just now?"

"It's about business, I suppose..."

The two had another meal after chatting, and then Mu Qiu returned home.She left but Tong Hao didn't. He was sitting in the private room, drinking one glass after another.

There was no one else in the room, just after he drank three pots of wine, Qing Zhu walked in from the outside.Seeing the jug on the table and Tong Hao who seemed to be fine, Qingzhu said: "Master, someone from the house said that Mr. Han has come to look for you."

"Then let's go back!" Tong Hao put down the cup in his hand and walked out.Although he didn't say anything, Qingzhu still felt that he seemed to be in a bad mood.

It's already the end of summer night, and there is a cool breeze blowing in the dark night, which makes people feel cool when it blows over people's necks.Mu Qiu went to bed early, but Tong Hao's yard was still brightly lit.

There were several wine jugs on the stone table in the yard, and it could be seen that he had drunk a lot.But from the looks of it, Tong Hao didn't feel drunk at all.

"Master, it's so late, don't you rest yet?"

"You go to bed first!" He said and drank another glass of wine.

Qing Zhu stood aside for a while, but still couldn't help asking: "Master, are you in a bad mood? You never drank like this before."

"Qingzhu, you don't understand. Wine can make me sober and remind me not to do some stupid things."

"What stupid things can young master do? It's all for Miss Muqiu..." Qingzhu complained softly, but his voice was particularly obvious in the silent courtyard.

"Okay, it has nothing to do with her. Go to bed first, don't wait for me."

Qingzhu left, and Tong Hao just sat here all night, until the next morning, when Qingzhu saw him lying on the stone table, someone helped him into the room.
