Chapter 364 Shelter from the rain in Hang Mansion (continued)
Chai Yan was surprised and astonished. Hearing this, Mrs. Hang meant that she wanted to have a good marriage for him.
"The old lady is joking. I am alone and have nothing. Whose daughter can like me? I don't even dare to think about such a good thing." Chai Yan shook his head and smiled.
But Mrs. Hang said seriously: "No, no, no, Mr. Chai, don't belittle yourself, I am serious!"
Xiao Tao also said: "Yes, Mr. Chai, the old lady is not kidding you!"
Chai Yan quickly put away his smile and said seriously: "Old madam, who are you talking about?"
----------------------------------
It was raining heavily and the sky was getting dark.
A carriage from the Prince's Mansion stopped outside the gate of the Prince's Mansion in the rain.
Then, Hang Baiqiu jumped out of the car and ran quickly to his door in the heavy rain.
Only a few feet away, Hang Baiqiu was still soaked by the heavy rain. She patted the rain off her body and knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door happened to be the maid Guihua. As soon as she saw Hang Baiqiu, she said: "Miss, you came back just in time. A young man came to see you and he hasn't left yet..."
"Master? Looking for me?" Hang Baiqiu was stunned: "Who is it?"
Osmanthus said: "The young man's surname is Chai, and he is talking to the old lady in the hall..."
"Oh, that's bad!"
Hang Baiqiu screamed out in surprise and hurried to the main hall the next moment.
Hang Baiqiu prayed in his heart while running, hoping that grandma would never say anything nonsense to Chai Yan, otherwise he would be embarrassed!
Across the main hall, Hang Baiqiu saw grandma, Xiaotao and Chai Yan. Grandma and Chai Yan seemed to be chatting about something, but they were too far away to hear the content clearly.
"Grandma! Grandma..."
For some reason, Hang Baiqiu became inexplicably anxious when he saw his grandma moving her mouth, and immediately shouted loudly.
Mrs. Hang indeed stopped talking when she heard her granddaughter's voice. She turned towards the direction of the voice and said, "What are you doing? Qiu'er, you're yelling..."
Chai Yan also turned to look at Hang Baiqiu. Hang Baiqiu met his eyes and found that there seemed to be nothing unnatural about his face.
Could it be that I'm overthinking it, as grandma didn't say anything?
After Hang Baiqiu ran into the main hall, he said regardless of his breath: "Grandma, Chai Yan... Chai Yan is here to discuss business with his grandson... Chai Yan, please go to the study with me to talk.
..."
With that said, Hang Baiqiu winked at Chai Yan. Chai Yan just looked at Hang Baiqiu and didn't respond too much.
At this time, Mrs. Hang's mood seemed to have deteriorated, her face was sullen without a smile. After listening to Hang Baiqiu's words, she just sighed secretly, then stood up and said: "Xiao Tao, help me back to the house..."
."
"Yes, old lady." Xiao Tao immediately supported the old lady and slowly walked behind the screen in the main hall.
The conversation was interrupted, and Mrs. Hang didn't even say a polite word before leaving.
After Xiaotao and grandma left, Hang Baiqiu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why are you here?"
"I......."
As soon as Chai Yan said a word, Hang Baiqiu said: "Don't say it yet, go to the study and talk..."
With that said, Hang Baiqiu led Chai Yan to the study.
The two entered the study. Hang Baiqiu quickly closed the door, turned around and asked, "What are you doing here?"
Chai Yan replied: "I heard about the suspension. I was worried that your mood would be affected...so I came over to take a look..."
"Don't worry, I'm fine!" Hang Baiqiu guessed that it was because of this, and whispered: "I haven't told grandma about this yet, are you talking nonsense?"
Chai Yan said: "Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I haven't even met you. How can I talk nonsense?"
"That's good... I have to find some time to tell grandma about this slowly..." Hang Baiqiu was a little melancholy. Being suspended from office by the emperor with a separate letter is not a small matter. If you don't take your time,
It means that she is afraid that grandma will not accept it.
Chai Yan asked in a low voice: "Did Di Chu and others sue you for distorting the truth?"
Hang Baiqiu nodded dejectedly and briefly explained the contents of the secret letter. Zhao Li had already told her everything about the contents of the secret letter.
Chai Yan was indignant after hearing this. When Hang Baiqiu saw this, he said: "It's no big deal to suspend my job. I'm not afraid to tell you. In fact, I didn't want to do this job for a long time... It's not strenuous and it's not a big deal."
Please!"
But Hang Baiqiu's tone and expression seemed to be insincere, so Chai Yan looked at her face and asked, "Do you really think so?"
"Yes, I really think so!" Hang Baiqiu immediately turned serious and replied with his chin raised.
Then, Hang Baiqiu changed the subject: "By the way, what did grandma say to you before I came back just now?"
Chai Yan tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "I didn't say anything, just chatting, asking me where I am from, my family situation, what my future plans are..."
"That's all we talked about? Did grandma ask you to marry me?"
Hang Baiqiu stopped talking midway through. She realized that she had spoken too quickly, but luckily the word "赖" did not come out.
"What?" Chai Yan asked with a confused look on his face.
Hang Baiqiu quickly excused himself and said: "Well... I mean... did grandma ask you if you are still used to staying in Beijing...
"
Chai Yan immediately nodded and said, "I asked, and I said I'm quite used to it, everything is fine."
"Oh, yes, that's good..."
Hang Baiqiu was completely relieved, thinking that it was a good thing that grandma didn't say anything nonsense, otherwise he wouldn't know how to face Chai Yan in the future.
At this time, the two of them suddenly stopped talking, and the atmosphere in the study suddenly fell into awkwardness.
Chai Yan said quickly: "I just came to see you. I'm relieved that you're okay. It's getting late, so... I'll go back first..."
After saying that, Chai Yan opened the door and left.
By the time Hang Baiqiu realized what he was doing, he chased after him and wanted to send him off, but Chai Yan had already disappeared.
At this time, Xiao Tao's voice came from behind Hang Baiqiu: "Miss, the old lady invites you to come over..."
Soon, Hang Baiqiu walked into grandma's room...
"grandmother......"
In the room, Mrs. Hang sat quietly with a serious expression. The food on the table was what it looked like before it was left out, and what it looks like now.
"Grandma, haven't you eaten yet?" Hang Baiqiu came closer and saw that the food was cold, so he said, "Grandma, wait a minute, I'll bring the dishes to heat them up..."
Mrs. Hang said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about the food for now, grandma has something to ask you!"
Hang Baiqiu couldn't help but feel nervous, but his expression remained as usual: "Grandma, what do you want to ask your grandson?"
Mrs. Hang's chest visibly rose and fell a few times before she said, "Qiu'er, do you know that Chai Yan... he already has someone else in his heart?"
"Grandma, you...what are you talking about? My grandson...can't even understand..."
Hang Baiqiu panicked and subconsciously dodges his words, not daring to answer grandma directly.
Mrs. Hang said sternly: "Qiu'er, listen carefully, grandma has misjudged Chai Yan. Chai Yan is not a man you can trust for life. You should not have anything to do with him in the future!"
