I quickly knelt down and begged, "Lanxiang was so angry that she lost her mind. I hope you will forgive me!"

Feng Long sighed in disappointment: "Lanxiang, I doted on you in vain! You...you are so stupid! Just leave the house today. After something like this, my Chenrong Mansion will no longer accommodate you! You can also take this sword. I don't want to see it again!" After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and threw the sword on the ground.

I saw him blinking at me with his back to Fang Feng Yiying and Chen Rong Xinyue, and I couldn't help but laugh. But I suppressed my laughter and just covered my eyes with my sleeves and pretended to cry.

He turned to Fangfeng Yiying and said, "Miss Fangfeng, it was my concubine who was wrong this time. I will expel her from the mansion right now. As for your loss, I will also compensate you. What was the item you damaged before? How much is it worth?"

Fang Feng Yiying was a little disappointed and whispered, "The previous... the previous items are not valuable, so let's not talk about them."

Then she raised her voice and said, "But my bow, especially the bowstring, is made from the tendons of the ancient mythical beast Zhu Huai. It is tough and durable, and it is hard to find now. I wonder how you will compensate me? If you can't, give Lan Xiang fifty lashes!"

When I heard that, I thought that fifty lashes of cane would not only be used to beat a person, but even pork would be beaten into minced meat that could not be chopped any further. This woman was really cruel.

Feng Long must have been shocked by her, and spoke after a while: "Miss Fang Feng, I really like her, and I can't bear to see her die. As I said just now, drive her out of the house and let her fend for herself. Out of sight, out of mind. As for this bowstring... Although I don't have Zhu Huai's tendon in my house, I have a dragon tendon left over from my ancestor's fight with a dragon. It should be tougher than Zhu Huai's tendon. Why don't I give it to you, and you can use it to assemble the bow and arrow. It just requires you to get used to it again."

Fangfeng Yiying heard him say that and could not disobey, so she had to agree: "Dragon tendons are precious, Yiying should not accept them, but my bow and arrows are also passed down from my ancestors. If I damage them, I will have to explain myself when I go back, so I have to accept them shamelessly. I hope that what happened today is known only to those in the house, and don't spread it out."

Feng Long quickly responded, "Of course! Of course! To be honest, it's my fault that Chen Rong Mansion didn't entertain you well. We will host a banquet tonight to entertain the young lady. I hope Miss Fang Feng will be magnanimous and put aside the past grudges. Continue to drink and chat with my sister and stay for a few more days!"

I heard that they were almost done with the deal, so I lowered my sleeves that were hiding my fake tears and looked towards Feng Long.

Feng Long noticed my gaze and said in a deep voice: "What are you still looking at here?! Get out of the house!"

Fangfeng Yiying sneered, "You are lucky to have met the generous Master Fenglong and saved your life! Get out of here! Don't be an eyesore here!"

I held the sword in my arms and hurriedly responded, "Thank you, sir! Lanxiang will leave the house soon. I hope you are in good health and everything goes well!"

After saying that, I walked briskly, turned left and right, left out of the yard, and headed straight for the gate as if my steps were flying.

When I got to the door, I saw a big carriage parked in front of it, with three tall white horses in front of it, fat and strong, shiny and sleek. Xiao Hui was standing next to it, looking anxiously into the door. When he saw me coming out from a distance, he hurried back to the carriage door and said something inside.

A jade-white hand lifted the curtain of the carriage, and Tu Shanjing, with a face as white as jade, eyebrows like distant mountains, and eyes like dots of lacquer, showed half of his face and looked at me.

I paused for a moment, then sped up and ran towards him.

I ran to the carriage like an arrow and got on it with my heart pounding.

Seeing me gasping for breath, he asked with amusement, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

I didn't know why I wanted to come over quickly, but I said, "I'm in a hurry to tell you the news! Sir, have you read the letter?"

Tu Shanjing nodded and said, "I see, it's not suitable to stay here for long, let's go to the inn and talk."

Xiao Hui heard his words outside, and he whipped the horse lightly, making an empty sound. The three big horses neighed and raised their hooves to start pulling the carriage.

Ruiyang sat next to Tu Shanjing on the other side of the innermost room, with his arms folded, and asked curiously, "Sir, Miss, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Wei rushed to answer: "Secrets cannot be leaked! If the Master needs you to know, he will tell you!"

Ruiyang stuck out his tongue, shrank his neck, rolled his eyes left and right, and closed his mouth.

I took out the broken pieces of the amphorae wrapped in a handkerchief from my bosom, lifted the handkerchief and placed them in my hands.

Tu Shanjing took a look and then nodded slightly.

We looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.

A familiar cool fragrance surrounds me, giving me the long-lost sense of security.

Although it was only one day since we parted, I experienced so many things in one day that it seemed very long. Now, leaning against him and smelling his breath, I couldn't help but think back to that snowy night when we slept in each other's arms, that night when we were so sleepy but still couldn't help but want to talk a lot...

Ruiyang suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed: "It's broken!"

We were all startled by him, and I hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Ruiyang looked at me from the opposite side and said, "Miss Senying is still in the mansion... I actually forgot about her!"

I groaned and said, "That's right! You see, I was so busy that I didn't even think of her. Sir, when we get to the inn, you can send a message to Master Fenglong and ask Ruiyang and Xiaohui to drive to pick her up."

Tu Shanjing nodded and said, "Okay."

The inn they booked this time was not far away, and they arrived there in no time. I guess Tu Shanjing asked Ruiyang to find an inn nearby for convenience.

After entering the inn, Ruiyang and Xiaohui went to park the carriage themselves. Xiaowei followed us upstairs, then walked into the first room with great discernment, leaving Tu Shanjing and me in the corridor.

He signaled me with his eyes to go into the room. I looked around and saw that there was no one in the corridor, so I followed him in.

As soon as I entered the room, I couldn't help but ask, "Sir, this fragment is indeed from the two-handled pot that was stolen from Tushan Mansion by thieves, right?"

Tu Shanjing replied: "Yes, I have seen that double-handled pot. The pot body is round but ordinary. The unique craftsmanship lies in the handles. This is the shape."

I asked again, "Sir, when you chased the thief that day, could you see clearly whether it was a woman?"

Tu Shanjing shook his head and said, "That person is tall and thin, and her every move is not that of a woman."

I was confused. I thought Fangfeng Yiying lied and said it was a gift from a friend, but in fact she stole it herself. I didn't expect it was really someone else. I just didn't know who stole it and why he gave it to her?
