Chapter 231: Good acting skills that backfire
The door was knocked three times lightly, accompanied by a low voice calling the door: "Wu'er, Wu'er, open the door quickly, my son-in-law is here." It seems to be the voice of the little guy next to the wild monk.
Zhao Xian was busy getting dressed, and quickly lit the lamp and candle on the table.
After the door opened, by the light of the lantern in the hands of the people outside the house, Zhao Xian saw clearly that the person who came was the wild monk and his personal servant. She was a little surprised, her heart said that at such a critical moment tonight, shouldn't the wild monk be in Xiangyang City? Why not only did he not go to Xiangyang, but stayed in Fancheng, and he came to find Wan Xiuniang at this time?
Just a little bit of thought, Zhao Xian figured out that the wild monk must have been left here by Zhao Yunjin to guard Fancheng, but his move of coming to Wan Xiuniang in the middle of the night was quite incomprehensible.
She glanced at Monk Ye, and saw that although the expression on his face was the same as before, the corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, but he inadvertently revealed his emotions. Zhao Xian secretly guessed in her heart, but her body quickly moved to the side, lowered her head, and looked very respectful.
The wild monk stepped through the door and walked straight to the inner room, instructing as he went, "Send two cups of tea in." ”。
After the little maid who followed outside the house, Monk Mino entered, also took two steps back silently with a lantern, and then turned around and walked towards the front yard.
Zhao Xian didn't pay much attention to the little guy, because at a glance, she knew that this person was the little guy himself, not the senior brother Yi Rong pretending to be.
Zhao Xian saw that there was no one else in the outhouse, closed the door again, slowly moved back to the table, took the two empty cups in her hand, and lifted the teapot that had been warm. At this time, her mind was spinning rapidly, and she was thinking: After Monk Fang Caiye stepped into the door, his footsteps paused, and he glanced at her without a trace, what was the purpose of this?
These two almost undetectable subtle movements faintly reveal the suspicion of the wild monk. Could it be that the wild monk was suspicious of her?
Imagine, as a fifth child, she was brought by Wan Xiuniang to serve her, if the wild monk is suspicious of her as a maid, does it mean that Wan Xiuniang is also suspicious.
Why is there any suspicion? In fact, you don't have to struggle to guess.
It must have been Wan Xiuniang who passed the Jiaolong Gang plan back to the Hidden Gang, and the Hidden Gang took action, causing a certain link to get out of Zhao Yunjin's control, making him wonder if someone had leaked this plan internally.
She has already understood that Zhao Yunjin has two most trusted helpers around him, one is the third gang leader Li Chuhe, and the other is the second gang leader Ye Monk, if Zhao Yunjin has any plans, the most detailed must be these two.
Li Chuhe is in charge of specific gang affairs in the Jiaolong Gang on Nameless Island all the year round, and the opportunity to leave the Jiaolong Gang alone is very rare, and he has always been strict and meticulous in his work, and he is the most cautious, so it is extremely unlikely that this important plan will be leaked.
The wild monk is different, he may not betray the Jiaolong Gang, but because he has been going back and forth between the two cities of Xiangfan for a long time, he has met a lot of people of all kinds, and a few days ago he abducted Wan Xiuniang to Shenfan City.
Naturally, these ideas were only guessed by Zhao Xian in a very short time when pouring the tea, and I don't know if they are accurate, but I estimate that although they are not hit, they are not far away.
Therefore, the behavior of the wild monk who came here in the middle of the night is not so puzzling, but what will he do when he enters the inner room and sees Wan Xiuniang?
Thinking of this, Zhao Xian immediately poured two cups of warm tea and put them on the tray, came to the door of the inner room, and whispered through the curtain: "Little lady, the tea has been prepared, will it be sent in now?" ”
When the words fell, I heard Wan Xiuniang say lazily: "Come in." ”
After Zhao Xian responded, she lifted the curtain with one hand and walked in steadily holding the tea tray.
Inside the house, Wan Xiuniang leaned lazily on the bed, her eyes half-open and half-closed, as if she had not woken up yet. But the wild monk sat on the chair and was silent, just staring at the embroidery girl. At this time, there was only one candle in the house, which looked a little dim, but it made the atmosphere in the room a little inexplicably weird.
Zhao Xian silently put down the tea, and when she was about to exit the inner room, she was called by the wild monk: "Wu'er, don't go out, wait for your little lady in the house first." ”
When Zhao Xian heard this, she turned her head to look at Xiuniang, and seeing that she did not object, she bowed down and stood in an inconspicuous place in the room and waited, and her heart had already determined her own guess.
The wild monk picked up the teacup and sipped it on his lips, wanting to put it down, but he smiled first: "It really shouldn't disturb the lady's rest in the middle of the night, but there is something important to discuss with the lady." ”
Wan Xiuniang opened her eyes slightly, covered her mouth with her sleeves and yawned lightly, and said coquettishly: "Yelang, but it doesn't hurt to say it, why shouldn't you and the slave family say it." ”
The wild monk put down the teacup, moved the chair forward, and said: "I promised the lady earlier, if the big thing is done, I will marry the lady, and now I ......."
Wan Xiuniang originally lowered her eyebrows, but when she heard "if the big thing happens", the tip of her eyebrows trembled slightly, and this extremely subtle action was immediately seen by the wild monk, he remained silent, and continued: "Now that the success is imminent, the promise can be fulfilled." A few **** people sent a letter to Wan Yuan Wai to ask him to see, only to hear the report, Wan Yuan Wai has arrived in Fancheng at night, I am afraid that I will come here in the early morning, then if I propose to him to marry you, I don't know if you are willing? ”
When Wan Xiuniang heard this, she suddenly raised her head, her eyes lit up, and then she was shy and happy again, lowered her head and said softly: "The slave family is a woman, and the marriage event is to listen to the orders of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker."
Hearing this, Zhao Xian was extremely disdainful in her heart, and secretly thought, if she really obeyed her parents' orders, shouldn't she marry Xing Mo? How could it be here? At the same time, I have to admire Wan Xiuniang's performance is so realistic.
If she hadn't seen Wan Xiuniang in Extreme Paradise and heard Xing Mo mention her repeatedly, she would have a certain understanding of Wan Xiuniang, and she still firmly believes that Wan Xiuniang is just a weak and affectionate woman, just unladylike.
But because of this, Wan Xiuniang's overly happy expression made Zhao Xian secretly scream that it was not good.
Think about it, who is not out of the cabinet of women will elope with someone, especially when the object of elopement is still a monk, when she hears that the other party is going to marry her father, is she blindly happy rather than worried?
Wan Xiuniang's joy may only confirm the wild monk's suspicions.
Zhao Xian secretly raised his head and looked at the wild monk, and sure enough, the wild monk's expression suddenly became a little strange, only to see him squint his eyes slightly as if he was contemplative, and after a while, he smiled: "This is very good." ”
At this moment, there was a soft knock on the door of the outhouse, apparently being pushed open, and then there was a sound of footsteps, stopping outside the curtain.
Without waiting for outsiders to speak, the wild monk seemed to know who came, and only said, "Come in!" ”。
The curtain was lifted, and the wild monk walked in with the little man bowing his head, walked to the wild monk's side, leaned over and whispered a few words in his ear, and then retreated.
The wild monk stood up, his smile deepened, and he said to Wan Xiuniang: "Ten thousand people have arrived!" ”
