Taoyao Order

Tao Yao pursed her lips. After all, she still didn't talk about such things easily. She just said: "Sister Yu didn't remind me last time. Now I have to open my eyes wide and take a good look at their house. If it's convenient, , Please also ask Sister Yu to ask her brother-in-law to help keep an eye on their business."

Tao Yu saw that Tao Yao didn't seem to want to talk anymore, so she didn't force it and just nodded in agreement: "Okay, we will help you take care of it, but Yaoyao, no matter what happens, you must inform us as soon as possible. Let us do our best to help you."

Now that Tao Yao was listening to Tao Yu's sincere words, her heart couldn't be warmer. Last time, she was afraid that she had judged a gentleman with a villain's heart: "Yes, thank you, Sister Yu."

However, the matter of smuggling was too involved. Taoyao agreed to marry Zhao Wanrong, so she naturally did not dare to reveal it easily. She only sat at Chen's house for a while, then stood up and left.

Seeing that it was still early, Tao Yao hesitated to go back to Zi Ling Pavilion and ask Liu Yunjin if he knew about the situation of the Chu family. But after thinking about it again and again, she knew that Master Liu was too smart. If she asked rashly, she would definitely become suspicious. , I have to think of a way to say it, so as not to leak out the matters related to smuggling between the Qian family and the Chu family.

Tao Yao finally held back and said to Tao Yi, "Let's go back to the entrance of Lu Yue Library and wait."

Wait until he gets off school.

Taoyao had never thought that a day would be so long.

A few days ago, these matters were other people's affairs. Although Taoyao found it difficult and worried about them, she could still take a break from her busy schedule and go out to meet Chu Ping, go boating on the lake, and be aloof from other things.

But now, if she had not fallen in love with Chu Ping yet, and she learned the news, she might feel lucky that she could see through it in advance.But she already had a good impression of Chu Ping. When she suddenly learned about this, she felt like a dull knife cutting her flesh, like a lump in her throat.

Chu Ping never expected that Taoyao would be waiting for him at the entrance of the library. At first, he just looked at the familiar carriage at the door, but when he saw Tao Yi sitting on the wall, bored, he was sure that it was Taoyao's carriage.

He happily rode over and asked, "Why is Miss Tao here?"

Tao Yao opened the curtain indifferently and said to Chu Ping: "Master Chu, can you take a step to speak."

It's time for school to end now, and people are coming and going here, so it's really not a place to talk.

Chu Ping didn't think much and just nodded in response.

Tao Yi asked: "Girl, where are we going?"

Tao Yao pondered for a moment: "Go for a walk by the West Lake."

Chu Ping followed slowly on horseback. He never thought that Taoyao would lead him to visit the West Lake.

Now in the spring of March, the weeping willows by the West Lake have sprouted new branches, and the tender green willow leaves are fluttering in the wind, looking even more charming under the sunset.

Since it was dinner time and there were not many people around the West Lake, Tao Yao asked Tao Yi to find an empty place with few people and stop the carriage.

Tao Yi responded and found a quiet place to stop the carriage.

Tao Yao got out of the car slowly and looked at the mountains and rivers far away lying in the setting sun, giving the Leifeng Pagoda a golden color.

In the distance, the swan geese returning north, forming pairs, reminded Tao Yaofu of the joy she felt when she and he were boating on the lake, drinking wine and playing the piano, and ripples appeared in her heart.

Chu Ping also stopped his horse and walked forward. Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, he couldn't help but sigh: "The scenery here is really beautiful."

Tao Yao only turned to Tao Yi and said: "Uncle Yi, go and watch from a distance, be alert. If anyone comes near, let me know." "Hey." Although Tao Yi didn't know why, but Looking at Tao Yao's stern look, she nodded in agreement.

When Chu Ping heard this, he couldn't help asking a question he had always had: "Is this your coachman? Or is he a relative of yours?"

Tao Yao did not answer him. She only waited for Tao Yi to walk away, then turned to face him, raised her head, and looked seriously into his eyes: "Master Chu, I have something to ask, and please tell me frankly."

Seeing Tao Yao being so rude about the matter, the playful expression on Chu Ping's face also subsided: "Miss, please ask, Chu Ping will definitely tell you everything."

Tao Yao said: "What kind of business is the Chu family doing? Are they involved in anything that violates the laws of the court?"

Chu Ping never expected that Taoyao would ask such a question, so he quickly said: "The Chu family is in the cloth and clothing business. They have never done anything illegal, and they have never even deducted wages from workers." This has never happened before, why does the girl ask like this?"

Taoyao raised her head and stared at Chu Ping and said, "So does the Chu family have business in Panyu? What is the relationship between the Chu family in Hangzhou and the Chu family in Panyu?"

Chu Ping looked at Tao Yao who was so aggressive and frowned: "The Chu family has a shop in Hangzhou, but I have never been to Panyu, and I don't know what the Panyu Chu family is."

Taoyao asked: "Then where is your great-grandfather's ancestral home?"

Chu Ping frowned, thought for a moment, and then said: "I don't know. He should be his ancestral home in Hangzhou. Our family has been in Hangzhou for generations."

"Since generations have been in Hangzhou, why go to Panyu to open a shop?" Taoyao continued to ask.

Chu Ping said: "These are all shops left by our ancestors, just like our family also has shops in Panyu, Beijing and Tianjin."

Tao Yao said: "As your business grows, it is normal to have shops in Tianjin and Beijing, but why do you have shops in Panyu?"

Chu Ping felt baffled and frowned: "I don't know, this shop existed when my grandfather was there. It must be because of some reason at the beginning. What exactly does the girl want to ask?"

Taoyao looked at Chu Ping and continued: "The Qian family in Tianxiang Tower has been in trouble recently, and they want to ask Mr. Chu for help."

Chu Ping didn't know why Taoyao's eyes were filled with indifference and alienation. Was it just like what happened to Wu Yan last time? Was he afraid that he wouldn't help?

Chu Ping said warmly: "What's the favor? If I can help, I will definitely help."

Tao Yao looked at Chu Ping in front of her, and originally made up her mind to question him and then draw a clear line with him, but he looked at her so sincerely and spoke to her so gently, Tao Yao couldn't bear to be cruel.

It's not like she has never gotten along with Chu Ping. It's really hard to believe that their family is full of treacherous and evil people.

Tao Yao avoided his eyes, turned her head to look at the scenery of West Lake, and said with a heart: "They are involved in a big trouble, related to a group of people who specialize in overseas smuggling."

Chu Ping was extremely surprised: "Smuggling? How could they be related to such a person?"

Tao Yao turned to look at Chu Ping and said calmly: "The various internal affairs are complicated and cannot be explained in a few sentences. However, the Qian family came to me impatiently and told me that in this matter, only Mr. Chu’s Chu family can help.”

Chu Ping felt even more unbelievable when he heard this: "Why do they think our Chu family can help with such a thing? How do they want us to help?"
