Xiao Hanzheng stood up to open the door. He was surprised to see Qi Yiyang and the Fifth Prince standing outside.
“Fifth Prince, Young Master Qi!”
Liang Hengyu smiled at him: “Young Master Xiao, congratulations!”
Xiao Hanzheng didn’t think that the two came to congratulate him on winning first place: “Thank you!”
He asked: “What do you two need?”
Qi Yiyang stretched his head, looked inside, and saw Shi Qingluo.
He asked: “Young Master Xiao, I have something to discuss with your wife. Can we go in and talk?”
Xiao Hanzheng stepped aside: “Come in!”
As soon as the two came in, Mrs. Kong stood up and took Xiao Baili and Xiao Hanyi out, saying that she was going downstairs to buy something, but she was just avo the two outsiders.
Mrs. Kong also knew that Qi Yiyang had set his sights on her daughter before, so she didn’t like Qi Yiyang.
She was afraid that the other party was still thinking about it, so she quickly took her daughter away, out of sight, out of mind.
She believed that her son and daughter-in-law would handle it.
Qi Yiyang’s mind was no longer on Xiao Baili.
After all, Xiao Baili saw him in such an embarrassing way, and he wished he would never see her again.
Seeing the three people leave, he was relieved.
After all, they were women he had been interested in, and he was afraid that they would laugh at him.
After sitting down, Xiao Hanzheng asked the waiter to serve two cups of tea for the two of them.
Shi Qingluo looked at Qi Yiyang and raised an eyebrow: “What do you want to talk to me about?”
This guy didn’t look like he was here to take revenge on her.
Qi Yiyang didn’t beat around the bush: “Can we all forget what happened on the mountain that day?”
Shi Qingluo instantly understood the other party’s intention.
She chuckled and said: “I have always had a good memory, and it’s not that easy to forget.”
Qi Yiyang: “……”
This woman must have done it on purpose.
He took a deep breath and asked: “You won’t tell Xi Rui and the others, right?”
Shi Qingluo played with the teacup: “That’s not necessarily true.”
She added: “Xi Rui and I are friends. I’m going to accompany my husband to the capital to take an exam soon. It’s not impossible that we accidentally told others when we chat together.”
Qi Yiyang: “……”
What’s the point of accidentally telling others? If she tells others, she must have done it on purpose.
He gritted his teeth and said: “Can’t you just keep your promise and not tell others?”
Shi Qingluo raised an eyebrow again: “When did I promise you not to tell Xi Rui and the others?”
Qi Yiyang wanted to go crazy: “Then what do you want me to do for you, not to tell them?”
If this matter goes to the capital, he will lose face and will be ridiculed by Xi Rui and others.
The main point was his family would have opinions about him at that time.
He was not the eldest son in the family and could not inherit the position of Duke, so he had to fight for everything by himself.
The Duke’s Mansion had very few resources, so the competition was very fierce. The brothers and cousins in each branch have been competing with each other.
If his other cousins heard about it, they would step on him and go to their Grandpa to discredit him.
That would be bad for him.
The latter was far more important than losing face.
He couldn’t silence Shi Qingluo, so he could only talk.
Shi Qingluo looked at him, “Are you so afraid that Xi Rui and the others would know?”
Qi Yiyang snorted: “Xi Rui, Liang Youxiao and I don’t get along.”
Shi Qingluo thought for a while: “Then how do you want to shut me up?”
A fat sheep is delivered to the door, it’s a waste not to kill it.
Qi Yiyang thought for a while: “How much silver do you want, tell me the price.”
He was going to pay for the silence.
Shi Qingluo rolled her eyes: “Do you think I’m short of money?”
She also said something in Versailles: “Don’t you know that any idea of mine can be exchanged for a lot of silver?”
Now she doesn’t need money. The dividends she received from the capital were not small every month.
Several workshops such as wool were also very prosperous.
For her, having enough money to spend and improving her quality of life was enough, and it was not necessary to have a house full of gold and silver.
Of course, she would not dislike having a little more money, so she would cooperate with Liang Youxiao and Xi Rong.
Qi Yiyang: “……”
This is the first time I have seen a woman brag about herself like this.
But what this woman said was true.
He heard that Shi Qingluo has a share from Liang Youxiao’s gambling house and the new rouge shop, Xi Rong’s opened.
He suddenly felt a little depressed. In this way, this woman seemed to be richer than him, which was annoying.
He asked, aggrieved: “Then what do you want?”
Shi Qingluo thought for a while and said: “As long as you do me a favor, I can keep this secret for you.”
Qi Yiyang always felt that the way this woman looked at him was a little malicious: “What favor?”
Shi Qingluo asked back: “You all know that Zheng Tongfeng plotted against my sister-in-law, right?”
Qi Yiyang nodded: “I know.”
He was afraid that Shi Qingluo would misunderstand and added: “But we only guessed it when we saw it in the back mountain that day. We didn’t know it before.”
It would be troublesome if this woman thought that they were in the same group as Zheng Tongfeng.
The main point was that they were not in the same group, and he didn’t want to be wronged.
Shi Qingluo chuckled and said: “Don’t be so anxious to explain, I still believe you on this point.”
Qi Yiyang smiled: “I thank you for your trust.”
Then he reacted: “Do you want to deal with Zheng Tongfeng? I can help with this.”
Shi Qingluo found that none of these noble sons were really stupid.
“I do have this idea.”
He guessed it as soon as she mentioned it.
Qi Yiyang breathed a sigh of relief: “I can help you with this, and in exchange, you are not allowed to tell anyone else about what happened in the back mountain that day.”
Shi Qingluo raised an eyebrow: “I haven’t finished yet, why are you in a hurry?”
Qi Yiyang: “……”
Then she should finish it all at once! Why was she hanging him?
“You say.” He has never felt so aggrieved.
Shi Qingluo asked: “Do you know who is the person who instigated Zheng Tongfeng?”
Although this was a question, the tone was affirmative.
Qi Yiyang and Liang Hengyu looked at each other, then nodded, “I know, your husband’s biological father’s newly married wife.”
Shi Qingluo asked again: “Then do you know her purpose?”
Qi Yiyang replied: “She wants to arrange the marriage between your younger sister-in-law and the son of a fourth-rank official so that you can remember her kindness and win over you and your husband.”
He added meaningfully: “After all, your husband has a promising future, and you have a flexible mind, so you can make money with just an idea.”
Talking to smart people, it was boring to be secretive.
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo were both smart people.
Although he hopes that the two of them were stupider……
Liang Hengyu also said: “Yes, I heard that Xiao Yuanshi regretted breaking ties with your husband, so the couple wanted to win you over.”
“They want to repair the relationship with you.”
The pot was thrown at the couple, picking his second brother out.
And in this matter, his second brother was quite wronged.
The second brother wanted to win over Xiao Hanzheng and his wife, but who knew that Xiao Yuanshi’s new wife would come up with such a clumsy way of saving the beauty?
It would be better to come directly to the door and say that he found a good marriage for Xiao Baili, which would be more reliable.
