"Young Master, do you just hate Manluo so much?" Manluo stared at Tan Zong for a while and asked quietly.

"The girl is both beautiful and skillful, and she is also the courtesan of Yangzhou Prefecture. How could she hate girls?" Tan Zong laughed dryly and answered easily.

"Why does that young master always keep Manluo from thousands of miles away?" Manluo looked at Tan Zong's eyes tightly, and his words showed great sadness, "Don't the young master understand Manluo's heart?"

"I just treat the girl as a sister, and I have no other intentions." Tan Zong was a little nervous when Manluo saw it. He didn't want Manluo to have any fantasies about him, so he gritted his teeth and took out a killing weapon to deal with the girl, and said seriously.

"Young Master, can Manluo be your girl?" Sure enough, when Manluo heard this, her eyes became wet in an instant. She bit her lip tightly and prevented herself from crying. She never expected Tan Zong to say such heartless words.

"I'm not hiding it. I've already thought about it. I hope the girl will forgive me." Tan Zong laughed awkwardly and made up a reason casually.

Seeing Tan Zong so ruthlessly, Manluo's tears rolled down like beads with broken threads, and fell to the ground.

A group of guests happened to leave, and suddenly saw Tan Zong and Manluo standing there. They couldn't help but stop, whisper and whisper.

These guests recognized the two people in front of them, one was the famous courtesan of Yangzhou City, and the other was the young Master Huang who was in full swing. Seeing Manluo crying and the pear blossoms were raining, all kinds of evil speculations could not help but emerge in their minds, watching the excitement there with enthusiasm.

"You... don't cry, I... I really have no intention of offending the girl." Tan Zong was a little anxious when he saw this. Manluo's actions at this time were too easy to cause misunderstandings from others. People who don't know thought that he would abandon Manluo at all.

"Young Master, do you think Manluo is a firework woman?" Manluo looked at Tan Zong with tears in her face. This was the only reason she could think of.

"To be honest with the girl, my lover has also been in a brothel." Tan Zong didn't want to continue to stimulate Manluo, pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said with a smile, "I am just a passerby in my life. The girl is a beautiful lady. She will meet her true destiny in time."

"Young Master, Manluo really envies that sister, who can actually get the favor of her." A look of surprise appeared on Manluo's face. She could not have imagined that the person Tan Zong liked was actually a brothel woman. Then she took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears at the corners of her eyes, and smiled at Tan Zong, "Young Master, can you satisfy Manluo's wish before leaving?"

"What do girls have?" Tan Zong secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Man Luo stopped crying and nodded.

A hint of blush appeared on Manluo's face. She let out a deep breath, suddenly reached out and hugged Tan Zong, pressed her cheeks tightly on Tan Zong's face, closed her eyes, and whispered, "Young Master's departure this time is far away. Manluo will not know when she will meet the young master. She just wants to enjoy a moment of peace in her arms."

When Tan Zong heard the four words "The return date is far away", he was shocked. He suddenly realized that Manluo seemed to have realized from his behavior in the past two days that he might not be able to return to Yangzhou City for a long time.

"What... What a smart woman!" Tan Zong looked at Manluo who was gentlely snuggling in his arms, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if Manluo was not in Piaoxiangyuan, he would definitely be one of his confidantes.

Unfortunately, Manluo was trained by Aunt Mei, and Aunt Mei is a member of Bishiji. Although Aunt Mei emphasized that Manluo has not joined the organization yet, who can guarantee that Bishiji did not take over Aunt Mei and absorb Manluo?

After hesitating for a while, Tan Zong reached out and hugged Manluo in his arms. As a man, he should meet Manluo's request before leaving.

When Tan Zong held Man Luo's back, Man Luo's body couldn't help but tremble slightly. This was the first time Tan Zong had such a close and warm move to her, and she hoped that she could stay forever at this moment.

After a while, Manluo let go of Tan Zong. She knew that there were another group of guests talking about her and Tan Zong. Although she wanted to stay in Tan Zong's arms again, she did not want people to criticize Tan Zong.

"Young Master, no matter how long it takes, Manluo will wait for you." Manluo stabilized her mind, smiled at Tan Zongyanran, whispered, then turned around and quickly walked into the yard.

Just as he turned around, Manluo's tears flowed down again. This is exactly what people say, "Emotional is always annoyed by ruthlessness, and he says that it is ruthless but affectionate."

Tan Zong stared at Manluo's voice disappeared into the yard with a complicated expression, then got into the carriage, sat in the carriage, shook his head with a wry smile. Just as Manluo said just now, a strange feeling actually arises in his heart, and he has an inexplicable love for Manluo.

After returning to the Huang Mansion, Tan Zong called Shi Shi, Xie Ying, Tao Yong, Tao Ying, Zheng Long and Zheng Hu into the study and officially explained to them that when he was not in Yangzhou City, Shi Shi was fully responsible for all matters, and Xie Ying assisted Shi Shi to handle them.

As for the specific responsible persons of each industry, Tan Zong also made corresponding arrangements: Tao Yong is responsible for managing the fleet; Zheng Long and Tao Ying manage shops in Yangzhou City; Zheng Hu’s main task is to protect Shi Shi and Xie Ying, and assist Shi Shi in dealing with people from the Grain Chamber of Commerce at the current stage. Shi Shi is a woman after all, and in some occasions a man needs to come forward.

After careful care during this period, Zheng Long's injuries have been healed, which is 20 kilograms heavier than before he was imprisoned. He is tall and strong. Since he exercises every day, he has no fat on his body.

In the eyes of outsiders, Zheng Long had already been cut off by the Salt Tax Department and was already a dead person. Therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he deliberately set off a beard and changed his name.

If Tao Yong, Zheng Hu and others can really stand on their own, there is only one most important task at present, that is, let the illiterate people recognize their words, otherwise how can they sign an agreement with others?

Xie Ying was in a very complicated mood. She had been staying at her parents' home these days and had no idea what Tan Zong was leaving. If Shi Shi had not sent someone to call her back today, she would probably not have known that Tan Zong would have left.

Due to Tan Zong, the Xie family restored its former glory and was crowded with people. Whether they knew each other or not, many people came to visit with gifts. The purpose was very simple, and they hoped to get along with Tan Zong's line through Xie Ying.

Although Tan Zong is his "father-killing enemy", after experiencing many things, Xie Ying found that the hatred towards Tan Zong in her heart became increasingly weak.

After Tan Zong finished explaining, Tao Yong, Zheng Hu and others left one after another, and Shi Shi and Xie Ying were left in the room. I felt that Xie Ying had something to say to Tan Zong, and Shi Shi left tactfully.

"Do you have something to ask me for?" Seeing that Xie Ying did not leave, Tan Zong looked at her unexpectedly. Although the little girl's attitude towards her had changed a lot, she still looked like she was ignoring her on weekdays. Unexpectedly, she stayed here today.

"I'll give this to you?" Xie Ying hesitated for a moment, took out a small yellow tip from her body and handed it to Tan Zong.

"Thank you." Tan Zong opened it and saw that there was a peace talisman inside, and said to Xie Ying with a smile.

This Ping'an Mansion was asked by Xie Ying from Dajue Temple 30 miles outside the city. After she learned that Tan Zong was going to Shuchuan, she didn't know what was wrong, so she went to Dajue Temple in a daze and asked Tan Zong for this to come back.

"Don't get me wrong. I'll go to the temple to pray for my mother and ask you for one." Xie Ying's face turned red and she said calmly.

When Tan Zong heard this, he looked at Xie Ying with some surprise. He felt that Xie Ying's reaction at this time seemed a little puzzled.

"I mean... this peace talisman was not specially asked for you, it was just by the way." Seeing Tan Zong staring at him suspiciously, Xie Ying couldn't help but panic and quickly explained.

"I know, you just said that you went to Dajue Temple to pray for your mother, so you asked me for it." After looking at the Ping An Talisman, Tan Zong nodded at Xie Ying, indicating that he already knew what she meant.

"I won't tell you!" After hearing Tan Zong's words, Xie Ying's face turned red with shame. She paused and turned around and rushed out, jogging while saying, "If you don't want it, throw it away!"

"Don't throw it away?" Tan Zong murmured to himself when he heard this, then smiled and shook his head, put the peace talisman into a yellow bag, and placed it on the table: This little girl doesn't know what she is doing, she is so nervous.

Shortly after Xie Ying left, Shi Shi walked in with a porcelain jar, which contained iced lotus ear soup. Every night she would change her tricks to prepare desserts for Tan Zong to relieve heat and relieve fatigue.

"Brother, Miss Xie almost couldn't enter the city in order to ask you for this peace talisman today." While Tan Zong was drinking lotus ear soup, Shi Shi looked at the peace talisman on the table and said with a smile.

"Cough cough..." Tan Zong heard this and then started coughing violently, spraying out the lotus ear soup in his mouth.

"Brother, are you okay?" Seeing this, Shi Shi hurried forward and patted Tan Zong's back with concern.

"It's okay, I choked by accident." Tan Zong coughed a few times, picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth, looked up at Shi Shi, "Is Xie Ying the amulet specially requested for me?"

"Don't you know?" Shi Shi looked at Tan Zong in surprise when he heard this. "At noon today, I sent someone to Xie's house to notify Miss Xie. Miss Xie heard that you were leaving, so she took a carriage to Dajue Temple to ask for peace talismans. She didn't come back until the evening and was almost locked outside the city gate."
