Chapter 54: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake
Because Su Xi rarely woke up and was "sick" for such a long time, after General Su accompanied Su Xi to eat, considering Su Xi's physical factors, he did not stay for too long, and when he left, he said some comforting words to Su Xi, and said some words to Zijuan, and then left Qingfeng Yuan accompanied by Jing Hao.
After all, he is a dignified General Su and his father-in-law, coupled with the guilt he brought to General Su because of Su Xi's incident, Jing Hao sent General Su to the gate of the mansion all the way, and General Su did not express surprise or uneasiness at Jing Hao's move, but felt that he should take it for granted after the incident in Su Xi.
Many things are not judged by the rank of officials.
When he was about to leave, General Su stopped and said to Jing Hao: "In front of Su Xi, what did the Hou Ye promise me, I hope you don't forget, the importance of Su Xi in the old man's heart must be well known to the Hou Ye now, I am loyal to the emperor and can fight for him, I spoil my daughter, and I can also do anything for it." So Master Hou, how to fulfill your promises, I think you should know very well in your heart. ”
General Su did not speak in a questioning tone, but in an affirmative tone. Both of them have already made trouble for Su Xi to this point, and there is no need to hide anything anymore, it is wise to have something to say.
Jing Hao naturally knew that General Su's words were not just threats, but facts. Therefore, in the face of General Su's warning words, Jing Hao was not angry, and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, the man's words are clear, and the horse is difficult to chase, I promise to be good to Su Xi, and I will definitely not let her suffer such danger and pain again." ”
Jing Hao said solemnly, without the slightest emotion on his calm cheeks, but when he mentioned Su Xi, there was tenderness in his eyes, naturally, without the slightest deliberateness.
This kind of Jing Hao made General Su feel a lot more relieved, and he was very happy for Su Xi's hardships.
Because of the suffering, Jing Hao's cherishment and love for her can be regarded as a blessing in disguise. However, more is General Su's distress for Su Xi, his own daughter, who is afraid of melting in her mouth and holding it in her hand for fear of falling, is now married to someone else, but she has suffered such a catastrophe in vain, how can she not feel distressed.
General Su looked at Jing Hao and sighed inaudibly: "I hope so." Then he got into the carriage and left.
Jing Hao looked at the departing General Su, and the guilt in his heart permeated. At the beginning, he thought of letting Su Xi be a bait, Jing Hao didn't think of General Su's reaction and possible moves, but when the reality was really in front of him, he was still guilty.
Those who achieve great things are all ruthless, but it depends on who they are right for. Naturally, he can't be soft on people who betray him and are unfavorable to him, but for innocent people, or people who help him, even if it is a cooperative relationship, he still feels guilty, not to mention, his feelings towards Su Xi are not just partners.
When he returned to the study, Shen Qi reported Liu Yiyi's movements to Jing Hao. Because of the failure to assassinate Su Xi, Liu Yiyi really sent someone to contact the nails planted by the Seventh Prince in the Hou Mansion.
Jing Hao nodded, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and his voice was particularly stiff: "Continue to observe, keep an eye on it, and remember not to startle the snake." ”
"Yes, my subordinates obey." Shen Qi turned around and left.
Things have already begun to take a moment, and it is time to reap the net that has been spread.
Jing Hao thought of Su Xi, got General Su's condolences, and also got Jing Hao's guarantee of acting on the spot, and it was tender and sweet, but I was afraid of the tender interaction between the two, since Su Xi married to the Hou Mansion, it didn't add up as much as he pretended in front of General Su today.
And among them, Jing Hao's tenderness when he looked at Su Xi, how much of it was an element of acting, and how much of it was true love, I was afraid that he didn't dare to think about it himself.
It is difficult to achieve great things because of love, but Jing Hao also has to admit that Su Xi has the charm that attracts him.
It is precisely because of the existence of this charm that Jing Hao feels more and more that when making decisions, whenever it comes to decisions involving Su Xi, he is not as neat as before.
This is not a good sign.
"Someone's coming!" Jing Hao's voice was not loud, but it was deep and powerful.
Almost at the same time as the words fell, a figure settled behind Jing Hao and said to Jing Hao: "Master Hou, what do you command?" ”
Jing Hao slowly turned around, sat down behind the bookcase, stared at the figure and said, "How is the investigation of Madame's affairs?" ”
This time is different from the past, Jing Hao did not say "Su Xi", but said "Mrs."
The figure obviously felt the change in Hou Ye's feelings towards Su Xi, just a title, isn't it enough to spy on Hou Ye's attitude and trust in Su Xi? At least compared to before, Hou Ye's doubts about Su Xi are not as strong as before.
can admit that Su Xi is a "lady", no matter what the final results of the investigation are, presumably Hou Ye is more satisfied with the current "lady" than the previous lady.
The man respectfully presented a thin booklet to the Hou Ye's table with both hands, and said, "These are all the information of the lady after marrying into the Hou Mansion, and I also ask the Hou Ye to look at it." ”
Jing Hao nodded and said, "Okay, I know, let's go down." ”
The figure had disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Jing Hao's gaze could only be fixed on the information that the person had just presented.
Jing Hao has already read the previous information, and there are no loopholes, if there are no loopholes in these materials, then Su Xi is right, and now Su Xi is still the original Su Xi, but as she herself said, she came back in a circle in the cycle of life and death, and she has a new understanding of life, and her personality will change greatly.
Jing Hao didn't realize that although he was very suspicious of Su Xi at first, but as the time between the two passed and became more and more tacit, he was no longer so repulsive to Su Xi, and even subconsciously, he felt that this Su Xi was more interesting, smart, and courageous.
If Jing Hao was asked to choose again, he might not choose the previous Su Xi. That's why Jing Hao was a little entangled and a little contradictory when he saw the information about Su Xi on the table.
Now this Su Xi, he hopes that it is true, but he is afraid that it is fake. Because of some emotions, it is difficult to take back the effort, as if it is a thorn rooted in the heart, it is no problem to pull it out, but it will leave a scar and it is difficult to eliminate.
