C23 You Know a Man's Face but You Don't Know His Heart

In his eyes it was dangerous, not good.

"Don't you want to think about it? If something goes wrong with their food, the guests will get us into trouble, won't they?"

"Besides, they are using our signboard. Everything they do in the future will be related to us. Even if it has nothing to do with us, it will be related to us. "

Tao Xiao-Su had thought about these things before, but there were always risks. She couldn't just think about the good things and not take the risks!

"I know what you are talking about. Business is never that good. Let's just do our own business for now. Even though we have a contract, we can't get involved in Mr. Fang's business. If anything happens in the future, I will have the chance to make him listen to me. "

After packing up in the shop, Tao Xiaosu heard that there would be a lantern festival tonight, so she let Tao Laosan go home first. She pulled Ye Yuan along to the lantern festival.

Tao Xiaosu was not a person who liked liveliness to begin with. She had been running around the house and shop all day, so her chances of coming out could be counted on one hand. She just wanted to use this opportunity to walk around.

After Ye Yuan had guessed several lantern riddles in succession, he took a lot of prizes and returned with a bountiful harvest.

"You are so good. Look at the way you guessed the lantern riddles. You must have come from a big family. Otherwise, you wouldn't have such knowledge."

Ye Yuan paused. He had only guessed a few lantern riddles, but she had already seen through them.

"It's just guessing the lantern riddles. Don't think too much!"

The two of them walked into a teahouse and found a seat by the window.

Looking at the people walking on the street, it was very lively.

Tao Xiaosui had always suspected that Ye Yuan did not really lose his memory. Now it seemed that most of her guesses were true.

Just as Tao Xiaosu was about to ask something, she suddenly heard the guests at the next table talking about Third Young Master Chen.

"I heard that Third Young Master Chen has taken a fancy to Miss Tao from the Tao family's shop. Is that true?"

"I heard that he went to the Tao family's store to buy something and saw Third Young Master Chen talk about marriage."

"Isn't that talking about Miss Chen's marriage? It's said that Miss Chen has taken a fancy to the boy who does odd jobs at the Tao family's shop."

"No, no, it is because Third Young Master Chen went there again, especially for Miss Tao."

Tao Xiaozui really didn't expect that a small thing like her could become a topic of conversation.

Originally, Ye Yuan did not take those matters to heart, but now that he heard them, he could not help but feel jealous, "Chen San Gongzi, it seems like everyone within a few miles knows about you."

"So what? I have already rejected him. No matter what others say, they can't change my decision."

The fresh tea made Tao Xiaozui feel refreshed, which she hadn't felt for a long time. The voices of the two people were still in her ears.

Tao Xiaotu didn't take their words to heart, but when they talked about the past of Third Young Master Chen, Tao Xiaotu pricked up her ears and listened to them.

"Third Young Master Chen is really unlucky. I heard that he was born from a concubine. He killed his birth mother and then placed her under Madam Chen's care. Five years ago, he married the prefectural magistrate's younger sister. Who would have thought that he would die not long after giving birth to his child?"

"I've heard about it too. Even the son he gave birth to died when he was three years old."

"There is a pestle in our village. It says that there are many new and old wounds on the prefect's sister's body. She must have been beaten a lot when she was alive!"

Hearing this, Tao Xiaozui simply could not believe that Third Master Chen had such an experience. So the Prefect's sister was Chen San's first wife. No wonder the Prefect helped Chen Mingxi.

Tao Xiaosui didn't believe in fate, but the fact that Chen San's wife was beaten shocked her.

Ye Yuan saw Tao Xiaosui's surprised expression and shook his head, "Luckily you didn't agree to the marriage, otherwise you wouldn't have ended up like this."

"It's really hard to draw a tiger's skin and draw its bones. You may know a person's appearance, but not their heart. Third Young Master Chen looks humble and polite, but I didn't think he was such a person."

Although Tao Xiao-Su knew that what she had heard might not be true, she couldn't completely not believe it. After all, there was always a reason.

It was also at this moment that Third Young Master Chen arrived at the second floor of the teahouse. Seeing Tao Xiaozui and Ye Yuan sitting by the window drinking tea, he went up to them and greeted them, "Nice to meet you."

Tao Xiaosui nodded her head and smiled: "If Third Young Master Chen doesn't mind, then sit down and drink tea with us!"

A trace of surprise flashed through Ye Yuan's eyes. Why did Tao Xiaosui not intend to draw a line between herself and Third Young Master Chen after hearing those words?

"It's my honor."

Third Young Master Chen sat down and started to talk about family matters with Tao Xiaozui while drinking tea.

"I don't know what kind of magic Young Master Ye used, but ever since he refused my sister, she has been making a lot of trouble at home."

It was not hard to understand. Chen Mingxi was a strong-willed person. If she could not get what she wanted, she would have to find a way to get it.

But Tao Xiaosu didn't expect Chen Mingxi to risk his life for Ye Yuan.

"Is Miss Chen alright?"

Third Young Master Chen forced a smile, "Luckily, she always has someone by her side to take care of her, so nothing major happened. Xiangwang Wuxin, the goddess has a dream, so it is not good to make things difficult for Master Ye. She can only wait until she has thought it through and then she will see the light. "

He didn't know if what Tao Xiaosui had heard was true or not. Since Third Young Master Chen had come, Tao Xiaosui wanted to ask him for confirmation.

"I've heard a bit about Third Young Master Chen's past. I wonder if Third Young Master Chen can explain it to me?"

Third Young Master Chen's expression was natural and he didn't panic because of Tao Xiaozui's words.

"Lady Tao, why don't you tell me what you said so I can have a chance to explain myself?"

After asking all her questions, only then did she know how helpless Third Young Master Chen was towards the death of his wife.

What fate? It was just a vicious guess.

"My birth mother was a concubine. She was wronged. She didn't have any children, so she attacked my birth mother and raised me under her."

The affairs of big families were really different. There were lots of schemes between wives.

"So it was Mrs. Chen who killed your birth mother?"

Third Young Master Chen nodded his head. With just a few words, he had become an innocent victim.

"As for the matter of my wife and son, I have let them down and failed to protect them."
