Chapter 041 Light and Dark
Ran Shaotang covered up the anger in his heart, immediately put on the expression that a ten-year-old boy should have, turned around and stood up.
What caught his eye was a handsome young man with picturesque features and elegant eyes.
The young man in moon-white robes, tall and tall, stood at attention and looked at Shaotang.
Shaotang raised his head and saw the sun shining on the young man's thick eyelashes, flashing like butterflies.
She suddenly complained that her vision in her first life was too narrow. If she had seen countless beauties at a young age, how could she have been deceived by that Shen beast.
A Yuanqi stepped forward and introduced: "Young Master, this is the third young master of my family. I came to see you today."
Shaotang immediately clasped his fists and bowed, thanking her repeatedly. The sincerity of his words and the enthusiasm of his attitude not only moved the listeners, but she herself was moved to tears by her on-the-spot performance.
The young man stretched out his white jade hands to hold her forearm, preventing her from bowing any further.
Qing Leng asked: "What's your name?"
Ran Shaotang slowly raised his head, his Xinghua pupils were already full of pretentious tears: "Young Master, you can just call me Tang Ran." Without changing her expression or heartbeat, she gave out the deceptive name she had thought of before.
"Tang---Ran? What a good name." The young man read these two words again, as if he was chewing some hard food, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.
Ran Shaotang showed gratitude: "I don't know how to call the third young master. When I return home in the future, I will set up a longevity tablet to wish the young master a long life, good fortune and peace every day."
If you ask me my name, I also want to know your surname. It is not polite to call me back and forth. Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you fight without hesitation.
When the young man heard the words "Eternal Life Tablet", his face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
He glared at Ran Shaotang with a cold look: "It seems that your body has almost recovered?"
Shaotang was about to mention that her injuries were getting better and she was ready to leave. When the other party spoke first, she hurriedly followed his intention and said goodbye.
"Thank you Third Young Master for taking care of me these days. My body has recovered. I can start my journey back to Gaoxi today. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. If Third Young Master needs anything in the future, Tang Ran will do his best to help."
"You want to leave?" The young man's tone was obviously unhappy.
"Ah, I've been bothering you for so many days. My family must be worried about my safety. The sooner I go back, the sooner they can rest assured." Shaotang intuitively felt that the young man facing him, who was nearly two heads taller than him, had a not simple identity and a simple mind. He won't let himself go easily.
It seems that she still has to use some tricks. How can she avoid being detected? The poison she carries...
"Okay. But I have to send someone to take you away tomorrow." The young man agreed simply and neatly.
Shaotang opened his mouth in astonishment, watching his back turn and leave getting further and further away.
...a decisive slap in the face.
Could it be that I was too careless and wrongly blamed a good person? Did he really simply save me?
Well, thinking more is always better than being stubborn.
Shaotang comforted himself and happily went back to the house to take a nap.
Lying down and covering herself with a thin quilt, she suddenly remembered that the third young master deliberately did not answer her question. Whenever the maids heard her ask the third young master his name, they would become nervous and tight-lipped. He would not answer any question.
Alas, what is his name?
A Yuan stood in front of the study and knocked on the door. The young man responded clearly from inside: "Come in."
After receiving permission, A Yuan carefully stepped into the room with hot tea in hand.
Cheng Wei, the Third Young Master's aide, was sitting at the bottom, holding a brochure and not knowing what he was studying.
A Yuan didn't dare to look any further, so he put down the tea cup and left.
The third young master stopped her and asked, "Where is she?"
A Yuan lowered his head and was stunned for a moment, and instantly realized that this "she" was the abbreviation of the young master.
"The young master is taking a nap."
"Keep an eye on her and don't let her leave the yard without my instructions."
A Yuan bowed in response and retreated out.
Cheng Wei, who had been immersed in research, finally raised his head and called out: "Third Highness, why do you want to let Ran Shaotang go? You have been planning for so long just to send him to see His Majesty. This is an extra bargaining chip with His Majesty, and cannot be given up easily.
"
His Highness Zong Zhengshen picked up the tea cup on the table and took a slow sip. The image of Ran Shaotang opening his beautiful big eyes and telling lies without any burden appeared in his mind, and his eyes became deeper and deeper.
Cheng Wei was not in a hurry to get the answer. Although the Third Highness was young, he was always calm and always considered things carefully. That was why he abandoned the eldest prince and chose to follow him.
As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a tree to roost in, and a good minister chooses his master to do his work.
To realize your ambitions, you must work with the right people.
The eldest prince is violent and cruel. Although he is very scheming, he is not a person who can treat his subordinates well. If such a person becomes a prince and inherits the throne in the future, those who assist him may be the first batch of people to be sacrificed under his imperial power and go to the underworld.
Fortunately, Zhou Rao has a man as talented and ambitious as His Highness Three Princes.
Cheng Wei also picked up the tea cup and slowly tasted the tea.
In order to catch Ran Shaotang, Zong Zhengshen stayed in Qianmen Town for more than two months.
The original plan was to capture Ran Wen's son and send him directly to the Zhou Rao Palace. Unexpectedly, there was a slight error in the calculation this time. Ran Shaotang was injured on the head, so he had to suspend the plan and treat the injured first to save others.
Maybe this is the will of God.
When A Yuan changed clothes for the unconscious Ran Shaotang, he discovered that she was a girl.
Gao Xiguo had repeatedly defeated General Sima of Zhou Rao's army. Princess Prince Consort Ran asked what his plan was.
Or is it that his information is wrong?
The person Ran Wen sent to Guifang was an impostor, not his own son?
He told A Yuan not to make it public and discuss the matter with Cheng Wei. Cheng Wei also felt that if the child lying on the hospital bed was really Ran Wen's "son", then he might not be too ridiculous.
"Go to Gaoxi quickly to find out the truth." Zong Zhengshen sent his cronies and at the same time confirmed Ran Shaotang's identity with Xu Youdao from the Longmen Escort Bureau.
"What I saw at the inn that day was really Ran Wen's son? You won't use anyone else to offend me? I won't tell you how powerful he is, but you should understand."
Xu Youdao broke out in a cold sweat.
This time he did not take action head-on and assisted Zong Zhengshen in catching Ran Shaotang. However, it was his idea to create chaos and seize the opportunity to rob people.
Moreover, he had someone keep an eye on Ran Shaotang's whereabouts and report them to Zong Zhengshen in a timely manner.
In the days after the accident, the Yaowang Sect sent people to look for Ran Shaotang's whereabouts several times, but he never revealed a word. He was worried all day long that something was wrong. If the incident came to light, not only would he be dead, but dozens of members of his family would also follow him.
die.
Hu Yunbiao was not a kind-hearted person. What's more, Ran Wen's thunderous wrath frightened him even thinking about it.
He was in constant fear and panic all day long, when Zong Zhengshen came to question Ran Shaotang's authenticity.
He really regretted that he had taken things he shouldn't have taken out of his own sight, and now it was too late to escape.
He swore to the sky: "Who in Kyoto doesn't know that Ran Shaotang is the eldest son of Ran Wen? He was born on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month, the Ghost Festival, and he is destined to have evil spirits. The birthmark on his face is the best proof. If the third prince doesn't believe it, just check the birthmark and you will know.
true and false."
Zong Zheng was afraid of looking at Xu Youdao's confident expression, so he believed him for now.
If it is true, as Xu Youdao said, that Ran Shaotang is Ran Wen's son, then Ran Wen is making a fuss.
However, he was not afraid that the Dongchuang incident would happen and Emperor Gao Xi would ask him about his crime?
