Li Chengqi didn't quite understand Shen Yan's reason for wooing Jiao Huaiqing. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Regardless of whether he trusts Jiao Huaiqing or not - he hopes that the people around him are loyal and reliable people - he doesn't really believe that Jiao Huaiqing will really be happy to be with them.

Wooing Jiao Huaiqing was something he never thought about. But Shen Yan did this, and she firmly thought that within three days, Jiao Huaiqing would come to the door by herself.

"You should have informed me of this beforehand." Li Chengqi finally said what he thought in his heart, "I was surprised to hear that you had the intention of wooing Huaiqing in the back." Huaiqing's ...... Not someone I want to reuse. ”

"Now is the time to employ people, why should you be stubborn?" Shen Yan didn't think about it, and persuaded: "The founding general of the previous dynasty said that there are two kinds of people, one is to use credible people, and the other is to use traitors and villains. Even if they are thieves and beggars, as long as they are good at discovering, they are all useful, and the key is whether the people who use them can be well measured. She smiled and slowly approached Li Chengqi, straightened his neckline, glanced at him, and then continued: "Don't forget, your cousin can get back the incense and please the emperor." Isn't it good that the emperor can have such an eyeliner, eyes and ears? ”

"The eyeliner and eyes and ears around the emperor, I have already arranged it." Li Chengqi said.

Of course, Shen Yan wanted to get this, but she still insisted that Jiao Huaiqing was ambitious, as long as he gave enough benefits, this ambitious person would be able to do things more neatly. But Lee doesn't think so. He believed that those who were ambitious would become a scourge in the future.

Because of this matter, the two argued for a long time, and finally couldn't get along. Li Chengqi even said angrily: "You don't have to worry about these things in the future." I want a virtuous helper, not a woman who has to meddle in foreign affairs. ”

Shen Yan was stunned when she heard this. He bowed his head in disappointment and didn't make a sound. Perhaps, it is really that she is too self-righteous. She felt a little hurt in her heart. But she pretended not to be impressed, smiled and said, "I'll go and see if Han'er is well-behaved." Then she was going to step back.

Li Chengqi hurriedly took her hand, and said distressedly: "I shouldn't be ...... I'm confused. He knew that his words had hurt her heart, and wanted to beg her for forgiveness.

"Am I too anxious?" Shen Yan looked back and asked him seriously, "Is it because I'm too eager to take revenge?" ”

Li Chengqi looked back at her who had undisguised her heart exposed at this moment, and only heard her continue: "I can't wait to kill them now and avenge my Shen family." Thinking of those people enjoying their fortunes in front of high-ranking officials, I feel angry. ”

"What's so hard about killing just a few people? But we're going to do it. It's not just a matter of killing a few people. Li Chengqi persuaded, "What we have to do is a big thing." Whether it is for the sake of this country, for revenge, for our own glory and wealth, or for the sake of fighting for a breath, we must be cautious in every step. It is never advisable to be anxious. ”

"So. You still don't agree to take advantage of your cousin? Shen Yan shook off his hand as she spoke.

"I promise." Li Chengqi hurriedly grabbed her hand again and didn't let her break free, "I promise you." Use him however you want. However," there was a bit of helplessness in his tone. But it was extremely gentle, "After using it, he got what he wanted." He is no longer our people. ”

"It's nature." Shen Yan smiled with satisfaction. But behind this smile, there is also a hidden concern about her: now. With Li Chengqi's love, he listens to everything she does. If one day he is ruthless and loveless to herself, no matter how wise she is, it is meaningless, right? Therefore, she felt more and more that it was so important to lock Li Chengqi's heart.

While waiting for Jiao Huaiqing's decision, she also stepped up her search for the beggar who looked like Yingge. On this day, she came to Bai's house and specially instructed Bai Zhong to find this beggar.

Bai Zhong told her: "I saw her several times a while ago, and she escaped when I tried to catch her, and no one has seen her since." I'm just afraid that she has left Ning'an City. ”

Shen Yan couldn't help frowning when she heard this, if this beggar left Ning'an City, everything would be in vain.

"Why are you looking for that beggar?" Bai Zhong couldn't help but ask.

"She stole something as important as Lord Hou." Shen Yan didn't want to explain, so she made up a reason.

Ning Anhou lost something, but he could send someone to find it himself, why did Shen Yan let him find it? Bai Zhong knew that she was lying, but he only laughed in response, saying that he would do his best.

"Brother Bai Zhong, have you found out, and there are people looking for her?" Shen Yan asked suddenly.

"No, I don't. Is there anyone else looking for her? When she asked, Bai Zhong felt even more strange, "Yan'er, why are you looking for her?" ”

"Nothing."

"You and I won't be telling the truth anymore." Bai Zhong turned his back and finally got angry. He said angrily: "If you just tell the lie and don't teach me to see it, I feel better in the bottom of my heart." It's really embarrassing for me to cover up your words like this. Have you ever really considered me your brother-in-law? ”

Hearing this, Shen Yan suddenly felt ashamed, and hurriedly said the truth: "That beggar is very much like a woman that Hou Ye liked in the past. I was wondering if Master Hou had also sent someone to look for her, so I asked. ”

She said it truthfully, and Bai Zhong turned back to look at her. He understood her intentions, but he asked her rhetorically: "Do you still think that there are not enough women in the Hou Mansion who compete with you for favor, and you still want to move out one to hit your own feet?" ”

"Pakonko ......"

"I won't help you find this beggar." He looked particularly indignant.

"What, Ning Anhou has so many women to serve, are you jealous?" Shen Yan asked jokingly.

"I'm ......," Bai Zhong's eyes widened in anger, "I'm worried about you!" ”

Shen Yan's heart was warm. Of course she knew, he was thinking about himself. She hurriedly stepped forward, pulled his sleeve and said with a smile: "Brother Bai Zhong, don't worry." I did not look for the beggar by lifting a stone to shoot myself in the foot, but with another purpose. If she is a usable person, I am not afraid that Hou Ye will have a good impression of her. As she spoke, her eyes were deep, as if she was looking at a situation beyond the reach of others. She also said: "As long as she is a usable person, she has taken the heart of the Hou Ye, so what is there to be afraid of?" I don't want a man......"

"Yan'er," Bai Zhong looked at Shen Yan, and became even more worried about her. He couldn't help but reach out and touch the crook of her arm, looked at her tightly, and persuaded, "Let go of hatred and be an ordinary woman, right?" You are already a mother, and the most important thing is to have the love and respect of your husband. ”

Shen Yan knew that Bai Zhong would never be able to understand the pain of losing his relatives early in his two lives. Therefore, she didn't dwell on this topic with him, but smiled and said, "I'll do it myself." What about you? Is the marriage with Miss Wu decided? ”

Bai Zhong's expression suddenly became gloomy, "I've asked the matchmaker to ask." ”

"Brother Bai Zhong is suave, this matter will definitely be done." Shen Yan smiled crookedly, as innocent as Bai Zhong when he first became friends.

Her smile didn't know how much Bai Zhong remembered from the past.

Coming out of the Bai family, Shen Yan was not very happy. She thought that if according to the original idea, her father was still in the government and she married Mrs. Bai, how good it would be.

She was walking down the street and unexpectedly met Jiao Huaiqing. When Jiao Huaiqing saw her, his eyes lit up, as if he had seen a ghost. However, he quickly calmed down and exchanged a few words with Shen Yan.

"Where did my cousin search this?"

"After lying in bed for more than a month, I came out for a walk." Shen Yan didn't tell her that she was going to Bai Zhong's house, just as she didn't tell Li Chengqi the truth when she went out. Although she is now the goddaughter of the justifiable Bai family, she also knows that those gossips are still alive in people's hearts.

"My cousin-in-law is so interested."

"I'm going home." Shen Yan blessed her body, and she was about to leave.

"Cousin-in-law," Jiao Huaiqing suddenly stopped her and said in a low voice, "It's three o'clock tonight, is it okay to ask Chenlou?" ”

Shen Yan paused, did not agree, and did not object. Wenchen Tower is the highest pavilion in Ning'an Hou's Mansion, and there are few people in the white room, and it is even more secluded at night. She didn't know why Jiao Huaiqing had to arrange it at night, and it was at three o'clock in the morning. She was afraid that she would not be able to rush forward. But if she didn't go, she was afraid that she would miss something.

Back at the Hou Mansion, she couldn't sit still. Li Chengqi saw that her expression was wrong, so he naturally asked her. She didn't tell him what was on her mind, for she knew that if she did, he would oppose her.

"It's in the Bai family, what happened?" Li Chengqi suddenly asked in a muffled voice.

How did he know that he had gone to the Bai family? Shen Yan was shocked, the lie was exposed, and her face suddenly turned red, "I'm afraid that you misunderstood, so I told you a lie......"

"I'm not asking this," Li Chengqi still said coldly, "I'm asking what happened to you, why didn't you give up?" He paused, and his voice became a little colder, "Is it because Bai Gongzi wants to marry Miss Wu?" ”

"No......" Shen Yan no longer cares how he knows that he is going to the Bai family, she only feels that Bai Zhong's intention to marry Miss Wu is linked to her uneasy things, and the matter is very serious. But she didn't know how to explain it for a while.

"Actually," Li Chengqi's voice softened, "I can give you time, so why should you lie to me?" But his sadness and anger after softening were even heavier.

In the matter of men and women, he likes to guess the most. It was for this reason that Shen Yan didn't tell him that he was going to Bai's house when he went out, lest he ask questions and even go with him, but he didn't expect him to be even more suspicious when he knew about it. She was busy taking his hand so that she could explain to him. But what he didn't expect was that he shook his hand heavily and pushed her initiative away. Then he brushed his sleeves and left.

How could he be so angry? Shen Yan felt weird. Did he listen to anyone's slander? Thinking of this, she hurriedly called in Xianglan and Wisteria, the maids who were waiting for Li Chengqi. (To be continued.) )
