Seeing that Cheng Jinzhi suddenly turned his face and wanted to give an eviction order, Cheng Xuan was surprised and hurriedly got up to stop him, and before Taxue walked in to send off the guest, he took the lead in closing the door.
In fact, Cheng Jinzhi didn't really want to drive Cheng Xuan away, she didn't have that kind of hatred for Cheng Xuan compared to the rest of the Cheng family, but felt a little kind, but when she saw that he didn't talk about anything for a long time, she deliberately wanted to provoke him.
"Jin Zhi, you should know that the Spirit Butcher Division had an accident last night, right?"
However, what Cheng Jinzhi didn't expect was that Cheng Xuan didn't take the lead in mentioning his own marriage, but talked about this thing she cared about.
"yes, I know. Cheng Jinzhi's eyes turned slightly, and he said tentatively, "What, do you know big brother?"
"Didn't you hear the sound of someone setting off fireworks from the Spirit Slayer Division last night?"
Cheng Xuan said with a serious face, seeing that Cheng Jinzhi didn't know why, he nodded thoughtfully.
"But that's right, the Cheng Mansion is relatively close to the Tu Ling Division, and the Yan Wang's Mansion is relatively far away, so it's normal not to hear it. And I heard that last night, there were also fireworks in the Yanwang Mansion?"
"Oh yes, I bought a lot of boxes of fireworks a year ago, and yesterday I finally got back home, and I was so happy that I ran them all out. ā
Cheng Jinzhi was originally thinking about Cheng Xuan's words, but when he asked about last night's fireworks display, he answered truthfully.
"What's the matter? Didn't the Soul Slayer encounter an assassin yesterday? Why would anyone be in the mood to set off any fireworks?"
Cheng Jinzhi looked at Cheng Xuan with a puzzled face, and suddenly realized that things seemed to be even stranger than she imagined.
"I didn't know. Cheng Xuan shook his head a little hesitantly, and then said, "But on the way here, I heard the people on the street say that this fireworks seem to have been set off by those assassins, and they are colorful and dazzling, just as beautiful as the ones set off in Yanwang's Mansion yesterday, and it seems to be a very special variety of fireworks." ā
"Even if they know the goods, the fireworks I bought are the unique "Caifeng Oiran" in Yunnan, which was ordered by someone early a year ago, and ordinary people can't buy it. ā
Cheng Jinzhi said proudly, recalling last night's brilliant grand occasion and Gao Heng's watery tenderness, the ripples in his heart fluctuated, but before he flooded, he was pressed down by her in a timely manner.
"Oh, what kind of fireworks does he have, what do you say those assassins are doing with fireworks, do you still want to burn the Spirit Slayer Division?"
Cheng Jinzhi asked Cheng Xuan, and looked up a little anxiously outside, "Really, why haven't the two people I sent out to inquire come back, these daylilies are going to be cold." ā
However, as soon as the words fell, as soon as she thought about it, she immediately realized that something was wrong.
Cheng Yan knew the importance of Gu Chen's witness to the crown prince, and naturally knew how much attention Yan Wangfu attached to this matter.
However, from the perspective of Cheng Xuan, an outsider, there should be no direct connection between Tu Lingsi and Yan Wangfu, and there is no reason for him to mention this matter to Cheng Jinzhi suddenly.
Unless, he and Cheng Yan are the same dog, so they will be clear about the pros and cons of driving the harm, and try to set their own words.
Of course, Cheng Jinzhi didn't want or think that Cheng Xuan would be in cahoots with Cheng Yan, a powerful minister with a knife in his smile.
"Big brother, why are you telling me about the Spirit Slayer Division? Actually, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, right?"
Cheng Jinzhi pretended to be calm and calm, and said in a good voice, with a hint of severity brewing in the depths of his eyes.
"It doesn't matter. Cheng Xuan blinked his eyes and said seriously, "I just think that last night was not the first day of the Lunar New Year and not an auspicious day of the zodiac, but the most solemn Tu Lingsi and Yanwang Mansion were so lively, I thought it was just a coincidence, and I thought that you had discussed it." ā
"You said so much just because of that?"
"What else?"
"No, it's nothing, it's quite a coincidence, it's just that the Yanwang Mansion hasn't suffered any assassins. ā
Cheng Jinzhi tugged at the corners of his mouth in disgust, looked at Cheng Xuan suspiciously, and saw that he was still puzzled by his problem, so he relaxed his vigilance slightly, and couldn't help complaining that he was too nervous about the affairs of Tu Lingsi, and almost showed his feet.
"Since the Spirit Slaughter Division has nothing to do with us, we won't talk about it, and when there is news, everyone will naturally know about it. ā
For the sake of insurance, Cheng Jinzhi quickly turned over the topic, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Cheng Xuan looking squirming again.
"That's... Actually, I'm here today to ask for your help. ā
Cheng Jinzhi frowned when he heard this, tried his best to suppress the urge to scold in his heart, and said angrily: "Big brother, why do you have so much trouble talking as a big man, wouldn't it be good to get straight to the point, with this kind of work, I have already woken up all night." ā
Before Cheng Xuan could answer, Cheng Jinzhi couldn't help but blurt out: "I know, you came today for your marriage, right?"
"yes, I'm going to get married in a few days. ā
Cheng Xuan saw that Cheng Jinzhi had guessed his thoughts, and breathed a sigh of relief, but soon lowered his eyes again.
"I originally wanted to take advantage of the day I got married to go to my friend's house in Cangzhou to avoid the limelight and avoid this marriage. Who knew that the old man was afraid that I would have the desire to flee, so he seized all my money, and relied on his high position and power to ban me from leaving the city, so I ...... now."
"So... Are you trying to borrow the Yan Wangfu to avoid the limelight?"
Cheng Jinzhi raised his eyebrows stiffly, and after seeing Cheng Xuan nodding, he secretly made an calculation.
She had been bent on messing up this marriage and cutting off the conspiracy of the prince and Cheng Yan, but only because the queen was poisoned later, which caused her to be tragically affected, she put this matter behind her.
Now that Cheng Xuan has come to the door automatically, she naturally can't waste all her hard work that day.
"It's not okay for you to hide from me. Cheng Jinzhi's eyes darkened, "But, as the saying goes... Heck, there's a saying anyway. If I'm willing to be so generous, you have to show it, right?"
Seeing Cheng Jinzhi's evil smile, Cheng Xuan's cheeks tightened, and his body moved back unconsciously.
"What do you want me to say? As long as I, big brother, can do it, you can do it. ā
"I haven't thought about it yet, but don't worry, big brother, it won't make you very embarrassed. ā
Cheng Jinzhi said with a smile, thinking about how to use Cheng Xuan to create a little surprise for the Cheng family, but when he heard the sound of stepping on snow suddenly sounded when he looked up.
"Princess, there is a noble man outside who claims to be the lord of the county, saying that he is coming to visit you. ā
