1650. Chapter 1650 The ancients were cautious
Han Ruoshi frowned: "What did you say?"
I didn't continue to speak, but the atmosphere around me was already a little different.
At first, Han Zitong came to the inner courtyard, and the two girls immediately spread the news, and after a while, Pei Yuanxiu came, he was the person in charge of Jinling Mansion, and his eyes staring at him would not be less, and when he moved in the middle of the night, at least half of the people in the mansion woke up, and because of this, Han Ruoshi followed so quickly.
Since Pei Yuanxiu and Han Ruoshi, this couple are here, the people in Jinling Mansion can't sleep well.
At this time, I saw in the distance, there were already a lot of lights on, and there were even some people's voices and footsteps coming towards this side.
In a trance, I had already seen Xie Feng, as well as Ao Zhi and Ao Jiayu.
But Han Ruoshi focused all her attention on the inner courtyard at this time, no matter how noisy it was outside, she couldn't care about it, and she didn't want to take care of it, but stretched her neck to look behind me, the fine house was hidden in the layers of bamboo forest, there was no sound, and she didn't know what was going on with the people inside.
She was so anxious that her eyebrows wrinkled: "Anyway, you let me go in and have a look." β
As he spoke, he quietly glanced at the two little guys beside him, and the two little guys immediately stepped forward and tried to pull me away, but before their hands fell on me, the girl stepped forward.
As soon as she stretched out her hand, she directly put the hands of the two people: "What for!?"
Although those two little guys are young and strong, they are not such practitioners in the end, they can't even move when they are caught by her, Han Ruoshi saw that she couldn't break through, and her voice changed in a hurry: "Yan Qingqing, what are you going to do!"
I laughed and said, "What are you doing? I'm just standing here and doing nothing." β
"Didn't do anything, but you let my husband and my sister insideβ"
"Shhh, madam, be quiet," I deliberately stretched out my index finger to my lips and whispered: "This kind of thing, melon fields and plums, the ancients were cautious, and said it too loudly, for fear that others would hear it, and it would be bad for Miss Zitong's reputation." β
Han Ruoshi glanced back in a panic, and sure enough, she saw that Ao Zhi and the others had slowly walked towards this side, those people were also carrying lanterns and candlesticks, the originally dark night, but at this time, it became brighter, and those lights also illuminated the paleness and anxiety on Han Ruoshi's face at a glance.
Originally, Pei Yuanxiu and Han Zitong stayed alone to discuss things, which was not an uncommon picture in this mansion, but in the middle of the night, it was inevitable that people would reverie, but Han Ruosi still chased after him in the middle of the night, and was blocked by me at the door, it may be just an ordinary thing, and it will make people think more at this time.
Han Ruoshi gritted her teeth, looked at the figures behind her who were getting closer and closer, and looked again, she could only fight her broken leg and slowly turn around, and the two maids hurriedly helped her to walk back.
I saw her walk over and stop in front of them.
In the distance, Ao Jiayu's crisp and sweet voice came: "Madam, what are you doing here?"
Han Ruoshi smiled reluctantly: "No, it's nothing." Why are you all here?"
"I heard something happened here, so we came over to take a look. β
Ao Zhi frowned slightly, and also glanced at me, I don't know if he saw something, he lowered his head and said something to Han Ruoshi, Han Ruoshi hurriedly waved his hands: "No, nothing." Don't get me wrong!"
ββ¦β¦β
"Zitong is my sister, she is an innocent lady. β
ββ¦β¦β
"They're just, they're just talking about something. β
ββ¦β¦β
"You also know that I am not in good health, and many things at home are taken care of by Zitong. β
ββ¦β¦β
"So, they're just ......"
I stood far away, looking at Ao Zhi's eyebrows that were getting tighter and tighter-in fact, he came over in the middle of the night like this, and he might not know what was going on, and even if he asked, he might not really ask about the matter, but Han Ruoshi was probably too nervous, and if he said it in such a series of words, even if there was nothing, the other party might not really believe it.
Not only Ao Zhi, but Ao Jiayu's brows also furrowed, but she was not very old and not so sensitive, she just looked at Han Ruoshi's nervous expression, and looked at me again.
At this time, Xie Feng walked over.
It wasn't until this time that I straightened my face a little.
In fact, I may not see all the other people in this mansion, but this Xie Feng, whether it is from his unknown identity or from his strength, should not be underestimated.
I stepped forward: "Mr. Xie." β
He bowed respectfully to me: "Miss Yan." β
As soon as the girl behind him saw him come up, she immediately saluted him and called him "master", Xie Feng only glanced at her, didn't say anything, turned her head to look at me, and said politely: "I'm really sorry to disturb me so late." β
"Where. β
"I don't know what Childe is doing inside?"
"I actually told Madame just now, Pei Gongzi is inside, discussing some things with Miss Zitong. β
"Is there anything that is not easy to discuss during the day, must it be said at night?"
ββ¦β¦β
"It's hard to discuss other places, you must go to Miss Yan's room to discuss?"
Sure enough, he and Han Ruoshi are still different, Han Ruoshi didn't get to the point for a long time, but Xie Feng hit these two points as soon as he opened his mouth.
I smiled, and then said, "Other things can indeed be discussed at any time and in any place, but there are some important things that you have to avoid people, and you can really only talk about them at this time, in my room." β
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"Of course, it is Miss Zitong's lifelong event. β
In fact, it is impossible for Xie Feng to be completely unaware of this matter, but when I really said it, I still saw a cold light flash in his eyes.
He glanced back at Ao Zhi, and the Ao brothers and sisters seemed to feel something, and they had been paying attention to my side, and at this time, they had already subconsciously come over.
Xie Feng's tone was a little colder: "Since Miss Yan knows that Gongzi and Mrs. Zitong are already thinking about lifelong events for Miss Zitong, why do you want to let the two of them be in your room at such a late hour?
At this point, I could already feel his strength in his body, ready to go inside.
If it's someone else, it's okay, but he, I can't stop it, and that girl is his apprentice, so it's already good if he doesn't turn against him at this time.
Still, I held out a hand in front of him.
"Mr. Xie, please don't be impulsive. β
He looked up at me, and his face had become a little unsightly.
And the girl behind her also stepped forward: "Miss Yan!"
I knew that if they wanted to make a move, there would be no chance for me to speak again and show it again, so I immediately said: "Mr. Xie has done so many things and done so much in this mansion, although you haven't told me until now, what you are asking for, but I have also guessed to some extent that since you help Pei Yuanxiu, what you naturally ask for is similar to him, or similar." β
He looked at me: "So what?"
"Now you want to promote the marriage of Miss Han Zitong and Ao Zhigongzi, naturally for that purpose, but what I want to tell you is that even if this marriage can't be completed, there is still another chance for King Bohai and Jinling to form an alliance, and it will not hinder what you want. And if I do this, I may be able to contribute to a good thing, and it will not delay the happiness of a woman's life. β
ββ¦β¦β
"In this case, do you still want to go in and obstruct it?"
As soon as I said this, I felt that Xie Feng's footsteps stopped.
He looked at me with a twinkle in his eyes: "Miss Yan seems to have a clear grasp of these things. β
ββ¦β¦β
"But haven't you heard that it is better to demolish ten temples than to break a marriage?"
I laughed and said, "It has to be a marriage where both parties are willing and don't have any interest transactions, right?"
ββ¦β¦β
"If it's just to promote the combination of the two forces, in order to satisfy the ambitions of some people, and sacrifice Miss Zitong's lifelong happiness like this, do you think such a marriage is worth demolishing ten temples to promote?"
This time, Xie Feng didn't speak.
Not only did he not speak, he glanced back at Han Ruoshi and Ao Zhi, and there was obviously a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
And in my heart, I finally let go of a stone.
In fact, what I am most afraid of in my arrangement tonight is to meet this Xie Feng, because I know that it is almost impossible to stop him, and since I can't stop him, I can only persuade him and let him agree with my point of view.
This is not an easy task.
But it turns out that my risky move is the right one-ever since he told me before that his request should be the same as that of the Yan family, I have been speculating about what the purpose of this person is to belong to Jinling's side, and the biggest possibility is that his request is temporarily the same as Pei Yuanxiu's, so it can be used by Pei Yuanxiu, but it is not completely subordinate to Jinling.
His purpose was nothing more than to demand a result.
Then any means in between, he doesn't actually care.
Even if Han Zitong and Ao Zhi's marriage fails, as long as there is another way to achieve the same purpose as this marriage, he will not insist like Han Ruoshi.
Sure enough, at this time, he obviously didn't mean to break in, but looked down at me: "Then Miss Yan, what other way do you think there is to promote the combination of the two forces without sacrificing Miss Zitong's lifelong happiness?"
I smiled and said nothing, just looking at the Ao brothers and sisters over there.
Xie Feng also turned his head and looked at them, as if he understood something, his eyes lit up, and he turned his head to look at me: "You mean-"
He was only halfway through his sentence when he suddenly looked up behind me.
I also looked back, and I saw a figure walking along the road, slowly, from the other side of the bamboo forest.
