Chapter 233: The mantis stalks the cicada! (3)
"This..." A flash of hesitation flashed across Cheng Ying's face, and she said after a moment, "You and the Ninth Young Master are having a normal martial arts competition. Even if the master is angry, what can you do..."
Seeing the evasion in his words, Xiao Yao immediately interrupted him, "I thought that there was at least Brother Cheng in the Xiao Mansion that you could trust. I came here just to verify whether Grandpa is still here."
You have me in your heart, but it turns out that I misjudged you, forget it, just don’t tell me, I will never trouble Brother Cheng again!"
Turning around, she made a move to leave.
"Master!" Cheng Ying hurriedly stretched out his arms to stop her, looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping, and then lowered his voice and said, "I know you have some misunderstandings about the master. In fact, the master... he is not you.
That’s what I thought!”
Xiao Yao seemed to have some realization in his heart, but he deliberately pretended to be indifferent on his face, "Don't he hate me to the core, and wish he could get rid of me soon?"
Cheng Ying frowned anxiously, "If that's really the case, why did he help you so many times?"
"Help me several times?!" Xiao Yao raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "When?!"
"Didn't the young master know..." Cheng Ying suddenly realized that he had been tricked and took a step back, "I mean, the master just went to find you, right? I think he must have reminded the young master of something.
What’s wrong?!”
At this time, how could Xiao Yao be deceived by him and take a step closer to Cheng Ying? She smiled extremely slyly, "If Brother Cheng doesn't tell me the truth, why don't I go and ask Grandpa myself!"
"You might as well just kill me!" Cheng Ying sighed helplessly, and finally spoke again, "I can tell you, but you must not show it. If the master and grandpa know that it is me who said it, I will definitely get angry.
It’s better to die!”
"I promise!" Xiao Yao raised his right hand.
At this time, Cheng Ying could no longer hide it and simply told the truth, "The house in Furong Lane and your Xiaoyao Pavilion were all made by the master who bribed the owner to deliberately keep the price low, even though the master was away.
I appear to be very indifferent to you in front of others, but in fact I am always inquiring about you..."
Listening to his detailed explanation, Xiao Yao remained calm at first, but gradually his eyes became filled with emotion.
"Even the young lady, it was the master who tried hard to suppress me and didn't do anything to you!" Cheng Ying pursed her lips, "However, I still want to remind you that the young lady has lost her beloved son, so I'm afraid she won't let it go.
, you should be more careful!"
"I know!" Nodding lightly, Xiao Yao's face still showed no color, "I'm afraid there will be something unexpected during this autumn hunting. Remember to remind the old man to be more careful!"
Hearing the sound of hoofbeats approaching in the distance, Xiao Yao nodded lightly to Cheng Ying, turned around and disappeared at the other end of the woods.
Cheng Ying stared at the direction in which she disappeared for a moment, then walked out of the woods again and joined the hunting team of young people outside the forest.
After leaving the woods, Xiao Yao immediately turned back to Qin Haoyu's tent and saw that he had changed into a comfortable plain robe and was sitting a few steps behind, waiting for her.
The two held cups and drank together. After experiencing Qin Haoyu's border crossing together, it seemed that their relationship had become a little closer without knowing it.
The topic gradually changed from training to the way of governing the country. Qin Haoyu held a cup in one hand and talked eloquently, with the potential to give guidance to the country. Xiao Yao watched with cold eyes, only to feel that there was a glimmer of light on the young man's cheeks, and he was as impressive as an emperor.
