♂?,,
If I couldn't intercept Tang Xiangxiang, I would definitely be beaten by Jue Shao.
Because it was Long Ye's car, the gate did not intercept and directly opened the door to let them pass.
Once again came to this luxurious old mansion like a castle, but the mood is different now.
She didn't know before that the Long family was such a big family, so when she came to see them, she was still very happy and had prepared gifts.
But now, what's given her more is an intangible pressure.
The old steward waited in the garden outside the main house and only beckoned him to stop when An Yi's car approached.
An Yi felt a little uneasy in her heart and carefully glanced at the old housekeeper before saying to the woman behind her, "Madam, why don't we wait for Young Master's phone call?"
Tang Mianni slightly shook her head and opened the car door to get out.
The old steward saw her without a hint of surprise, bowed and said, "Young mistress, the master asks you to go over."
"Madam." An Yi called out again, uneasily.
She turned back and smiled, letting him feel at ease. "Wait for me here, I'll be right back. If Long Ye Jue calls, let it wait for me."
An Yi originally wanted to persuade her to stay, but she insisted on leaving, so he could only nod his head and say "Okay".
Tang Mianmian felt relieved and said to the old steward, "Steward uncle, trouble you to lead the way."
She was so polite that Old Xu felt a bit uneasy and smiled wryly, saying, "Young Mistress, just call me Old Xu."
"Uncle Xu." She called out politely again.
Xu could only smile helplessly.
The courtyard of Long's old house is distributed in a five-star pattern.
The main house is in the middle, and several other houses are separately located at five corners.
There is a crisscross road between the houses, which facilitates transportation.
The vehicle inside the mansion was a four-seater electric car, and the old butler drove the electric car, taking Tang Xiangxiang to the garden where Long Lao Yezi was.
Along the way, her mood was also very apprehensive. After thinking for a while, she carefully asked, "Uncle Xu, do you know what Grandfather wants to see me about?"
"I don't know," Xu replied with a smile.
He knew that Old Lady Dai was now as anxious as an ant on a hot skillet, but it wasn't right for him, a lowly servant, to get involved in the master's family affairs.
However, he still kindly said a sentence, "The old man is actually a very good person to get along with, don't be nervous."
Tang Mianni smiled and felt a little grateful to Xu Bo.
Long Lao Yezi has been able to roam freely in Jiang City for so many years, he is not a simple character. She is not afraid of Long Lao Yezi; she is cold and stern, mainly because she is worried about Long Ye Jue.
"Is Long Ye Jue here too?"
"The young master is not in."
Not here?
Tang Mianmian was very puzzled in her heart, didn't An Yi say that Long Ye had arrived at the old mansion?
Why did the butler say he wasn't in?
Is it not at Grandfather's place or is it not in the old mansion?
Before I had time to ask in detail, the car had already arrived at its destination.
"Go straight in from here, Master is inside." Xu pointed the way and drove away.
Tang Mi looked in the direction Xu Zhi was pointing, where there was a green and lush stone path.
She hesitated for a moment before finally taking a step forward and walking directly over.
Because she wore high heels when she came here in order to look a bit more dignified, this time walking on the gravel road was a kind of torture for her.
Especially with wounds on the knees and back.
And she still hasn't seen where the old man is.
This dragon's house is too big, it might be several hundred meters just walking past it.
After a moment's thought, she squatted down and took off the high-heeled shoes on her feet, twisted them in her hand, and continued to walk barefoot on the gravel road.
Although she was barefoot, walking such a long distance would also wear out her feet. Just when she felt like her feet were going to fall off, she saw the figure of a person in front of her.
Just as he was thinking of putting on his shoes, Long Zhenfei in the pavilion had already seen Tang Mianning, "Is it Mianning? Come in quickly."
Tang Mianmian hesitated for a moment, knowing that changing into shoes now would be inappropriate. Moreover, it seemed that Grandfather had already seen her, so she could only continue walking in bare feet.
This kind of embarrassing situation was her first time encountering it, and she couldn't help but feel a little wronged in her heart. However, on her face, she still wore a smile, "Grandfather, you've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"
"It's just a cup of tea time, it won't take long." Long Zhenfei smiled and didn't invite her to sit down.
The elder didn't speak up, so she could only stand there, her hands clasped behind her back, twisting her shoes.
Although the whole person is slender, he stands upright.
"This tea is still the one you sent me last time, although it's not as good as the ones I usually drink, but it's okay, barely edible." The old man said calmly.
In the midst of the tea mist, Tang seemed to have understood the meaning behind his words.
He could only smile awkwardly and say, "That's because Grandpa doesn't mind."
"Ah, sit down." Long Zhenfei finally relaxed his tone.
Tang Mianmian finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, carefully sat down, heaven knows that her legs had begun to tremble.
Long Zhenfeng looked at her feet and then looked at the small road before saying, "This road isn't easy to walk on, is it?"
"It's okay." Tang Xianxian felt a chill run down her spine.
"This road is not easy to walk, uneven and without convenient tools to use, but the doctor said that as long as you walk more, it's good for your body. So in Longjia old house, there are such stone roads everywhere, walking more will get you used to it."
"Yes." Tang Mianmian nodded cautiously, her hands fidgeting restlessly on her knees.
She didn't dare say anything more when she was with Long Zhenfei, fearing trouble would arise from her words.
And every one of his words seemed to be hiding something, making her constantly guess in her heart.
But one thing is certain, he seemed to have known all along that she would come, and even deliberately let her take this stone path.
"Do you know about the art of tea?" Long Zhenfei put away his previous cold and deep expression, and asked with a smile.
Tang Mianmian nodded slightly, but in order to be modest, she added a sentence, "Just a little."
"Then make me a cup."
"Yes."
Tang Mianmian went to a nearby sink to wash her hands before returning to the pavilion to make tea for him.
The water in Long's compound is not ordinary tap water, but mountain spring water extracted from the mountains.
This behavior is actually not allowed, but because it's the first rich family and contributes half of the tax revenue to Jiang City, some things just naturally happen.
Tang Xianxian's tea ceremony was actually learned from her father.
My father loved drinking tea and also studied the art of tea, so I learned some from him since I was a child.
This will also come in handy, but it's a different feeling from when I'm with my own father.
Every move is meticulous to the extreme.
By the time a cup of tea was brewed, there were already some fine sweat on her forehead.
Long Zhenfei nodded in satisfaction, praising, "Compared to my grandsons and granddaughters, you understand a lot more. Usually, I let them learn about the art of tea, but they all complain and get impatient, and in the end, not many of them are skilled."
Tang quietly listened, without saying a word, just silently and calmly.
Long Zhenfei sipped his tea while talking about some past events.
Talking about Long Yeye's glorious deeds in the past, and also talking about his mischievous years.
Tang Mianmian had never seen such a Dragon Night before, and she could hear that he was coming with great enthusiasm.
Long Zhenfei put down his teacup and looked at Tang Mianmian, "I've also asked people about today's matter, it's not your fault, so there's no need to blame yourself."
Finally got to the point.
Tang Mianmian suddenly straightened her back and explained with a tight heart, "I know my behavior must have brought negative impact to the Long family."
"So from now on, be careful. The Long family is a big clan, wherever you go, there are people watching. If it weren't for the fact that your identity hasn't been exposed yet, probably the whole city of Jiang would be talking about this matter by now." The old man's face turned serious and his tone was also very solemn.
"I'm sorry." She apologized sincerely.
"It's okay, next time when you encounter such things, learn to handle them wisely."
"Ah, thank you for your teachings, Grandfather."
"It's not easy being the daughter-in-law of the Long family. Since I've already become the wife of a noble, I won't say anything else. The rules of the Long family are that we cannot get divorced, and we must maintain this marriage well, without letting outsiders gossip about us. Past matters must also be cut off completely. Grandfather doesn't want this either. If such things were to spread throughout the land one day, it would be a dark history for both the Long family and ourselves. Mother didn't help today either, because she was trying to maintain the dignity of the Long family, so don't be angry with her."
Long Zhenfei's words were heavy with emotion and his tone was long.
The most important thing is that what was said was reasonable and emotional, and also pointed out what needs attention and what needs to be done.
Tang Mianmian nodded understandingly and emotionally, "I know, Grandpa, it won't happen again."
"That's good, although she hasn't accepted it yet, but it's just a matter of time, with Grandpa backing her up!"
"Thank you, Grandpa." Tang Xiangxiang finally felt at ease.
As long as the old man is not angry, it's a good thing for Long Ye and Jue.
"Alright, it's getting late too, let's head back. This matter will be settled here, and no one is to mention it again, got it?" Long Zhenfei reminded them.
Tang Mianmian nodded obediently and was about to leave when she heard someone calling her name from not far away.
Moreover, the tone was extremely urgent, and after listening carefully, it turned out to be the voice of Long Ye.
"Tang Siyuan, where are you?"
As soon as he heard this voice, Long Zhenfei narrowed his eyes and smiled, "This kid, is he still afraid that I won't be able to eat it?"
Tang Mianmian's face turned red, and she was so embarrassed that she couldn't explain herself.
Long Ye had already spotted the person he was looking for and hastily walked over, his gaze sweeping her up and down like X-rays when he saw her.
Tang Miyan's face flushed as he looked at him, and she lowered her head in embarrassment.
After confirming that she was fine, Long Ye finally let out a breath of relief and his tone turned cold. "Grandfather, what do you want with Mianmian?"
That tone is an interrogative tone.
Long Zhenfei raised an eyebrow and hummed, "What? Don't even let me have a cup of tea with my daughter-in-law?"
"Grandpa..."
"Alright, alright, stop making a face at me. Next time you look for me, will you ask for my consent first?" The old man teased, causing Tang Xiangxiang, who was already embarrassed, to become even more flustered.
Long Zhenfei raised an eyebrow and hummed, "What? Don't even let me have a cup of tea with my daughter-in-law?"
"Grandpa..."
"Alright, alright, stop making a face at me. Next time you look for me, will it be with mutual consent?" The old man teased, causing Tang Xiangxiang, who was already embarrassed, to become even more flustered.
