Hey, you are reborn too?

Chapter 169: If you tell one lie, you have to cover it up with countless lies

"Who is coming?"

The maidservant beside Concubine Chen gave a delicate shout.

The two figures paused, then fell straight towards them.

They knelt on one knee in the same posture as Zeng Qing, bowed their heads and said, "Greetings, Master."

When the two of them spoke, Zeng Qing, who had been keeping his head down, suddenly looked up, his eyes froze.

Didn't these two people follow the young master out? Why are they back again?

But he instinctively felt something was wrong.

"Are you in such a hurry to come back from outside the palace?" Concubine Chen spoke softly, her voice was gentle, and even with a smile, but people who heard it felt cold all over.

"Yes." The two men lowered their heads even lower, and the leader suddenly became friendly. This was not a happy thing. It was a sign that the leader was going to be angry!

"I remember that you have always served the young master," Concubine Chen said in a leisurely voice, as if she was chatting with them, "How come I hurried back in the middle of the night? You are still here, but the master is gone?"

Not good!

Zeng Qing immediately interrupted: "Master, you are wrong! The young master has already taken the medicine and is sleeping in the inner hall."

As soon as these words were spoken, the two people who were originally kneeling, although they kept their heads down, still turned around and glanced at Zeng Qing.

Their pupils shrank slightly, and they immediately lowered their heads: "Master Zeng's words make sense. I hope the leader will understand. The young master is resting in the hall at the moment."

Although they were also confused.

The two of them searched the entire bamboo forest and even found the squirrels hiding in the tree holes and the rabbits nesting in the haystacks.

But he couldn't find the young master.

They were in a hurry and had no other choice, so they thought of coming back to inform Master Zeng Qing that the young master was missing.

Now it seems that they were right in not being able to find the young master in the bamboo forest. It turns out that the young master had already rested there?

While the two were happy, they couldn't help feeling embarrassed.

The young master is still in the palace, and Miss Xie keeps saying that she has never seen the young master.

Then, the young master rushed out of the door this afternoon, wasn’t it for Miss Xie?

They were cold-hearted by nature and didn't think this was a big deal, but they were a little worried about how to report this to Miss Xie.

Young Master, you really left them a big mess.

"Is that really the case?" Concubine Chen raised the golden handkerchief embroidered with a longevity and auspicious patterns in her hand, covering up half of her face. Only her eyebrows and eyes showed just the right amount of surprise. "I guess I have a bad memory and forgot it."

She remained calm and refused to admit that there was any temptation in her words.

Instead, he lowered his eyes slightly and said, "When people have too many things to do, they tend to forget them easily. I hope you won't blame me."

"I don't dare!"

"Young ones don't dare!"

The three people from the Tianhong Sect responded at the same time.

These words are truly heartfelt. Even if the leader was wrong, how could they blame him?

What's more, it was such a harmless mistake.

"Since Mian'er is really ill, I will not disturb you any more."

Concubine Chen held the hand of the maid beside her and turned around gracefully.

"You all need to serve the young master attentively, and don't ignore him and go out to have fun while he's sick."

"The leader's teaching is correct," the person who responded was Zeng Qing. He was the highest-ranking of the secret guards and the one closest to Jiang Mian. Naturally, he was trained on behalf of the other secret guards. "We will follow the leader's teachings and serve the young master attentively."

"That's good."

Zeng Qing hadn't even finished breathing out when the breath suddenly got stuck in his throat.

I saw Concubine Chen take two steps forward, but then stopped.

Zeng Qing couldn't help but feel dizzy in front of his eyes.

Could it be that the leader still doubts what he said and is preparing to raise new questions?

Young Master, you feel relieved to have escaped, but it is hard for us who serve you.

Concubine Chen paused on her toes.

Although what Zeng Qing and the other secret guards said was correct, she knew that Jiang Mian might really be sick on the bed.

But for some reason, my brows were always furrowed and never went away.

A strong feeling told me that something was wrong tonight.

Finally, she turned around slowly and asked, "You two have returned in a hurry at night, but is there anything urgent you need to report to your young master?"

This……

The two of them subconsciously leaned over to look at Zeng Qing.

Not to mention reporting to the young master, they didn’t even see the young master’s shadow.

I came back in a hurry just to tell Lord Zeng Qing about the young master's disappearance.

Now that the leader suddenly raised a question, how should they respond?

"Ok?"

Concubine Chen's sharp gaze swept over, scaring the two men so much that they lowered their heads and no longer dared to make any small movements.

"Your Excellency," the clever one had to answer even if he had to bite the bullet. He racked his brains to find any possible excuse, speaking slowly and quickly, "I don't know if it's an important matter, but the young master sent us, so we went."

Concubine Chen lowered her eyes slightly, and the expression on her face could not be seen clearly.

The lanterns hanging outside the hall swayed, casting warm lights.

But he couldn't dispel the coldness in Concubine Chen's eyes.

"What is so secretive?" She spoke in a gentle voice, not hurried at all, as if she was discussing something with the person in front of her. "Even a mother like me can't listen to it? It doesn't matter, just tell me the whole story."

The man broke out in a cold sweat.

There is no urgent matter at all. They just made it up to please the leader.

Now it seems that the leader does believe it.

But I care too much about it, and even want them to tell me everything.

The person who responded had a blank mind and his legs were trembling.

What to do?

It was to help Lord Zeng Qing cover up the fact that the young master was missing.

Or should he succumb to the tyranny of the leader and tell the whole story of how the young master risked everything for a woman and even lost himself?

bamboo forest.

Seeing the two of them talking harmoniously, Xie Yongwei couldn't help but feel happy.

Although she always felt something was strange, she always thought that the person who could chat and laugh with Xie Yongxuan should be the Seventh Prince.

Xie Yongwei shook her head slightly.

Forget it. Whoever my brother wants to talk to is his freedom and I have no right to interfere.

Even though she thought so, Xie Yongwei couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Even in this life, Jiang Mian was very cautious and did not have close contacts with the General's Mansion.

She was actually a little annoyed. She wrung the handkerchief in her hand, pursed her lips, and a layer of mist appeared in her eyes.

Wasn't that man very kind to her? Why wasn't he willing to work on her father and brother?

Could it be that I was far from what he expected, and he never intended to marry me in a formal ceremony and bring me to his home?

Xie Yongwei thought so and stood blankly by the car door, with a dazed look on her face, staring into the distance with unfocused eyes.

"Miss Xie is in a hurry to leave, why haven't you gotten into the carriage yet?"

A low voice sounded beside her, interrupting her melancholy.

"Well……"

Xie Yongwei blinked twice, her eyes slowly focused, she opened the curtain, and sat in the car.

The curtain was about to fall, but was caught by another hand.
