113: Confession
Xia Ruan feels that in fact, many times in life, there is no fairness.
Some people are born with glory and wealth and enjoy inexhaustible wealth, some people are talented and eloquent, and some people, even if they are as good as the moon in the sky, but because they are concubines, they are blocked by dark clouds.
The boy stood in the courtyard, leaned over and closed his eyes to smell the fragrance of camellias, and then smiled faintly.
The handsome face is as soft as the most beautiful jade in the world.
In this way, no matter how beautiful the camellia is, it is not as noble and elegant as his noble and elegant temperament, and it seems that everything around him has become his foil.
The boy seemed to notice that someone was watching him, and slowly opened his eyes.
Her dark eyes were shiny, and somewhere in her heart seemed to have been struck hard.
Xia Ruan once heard that some people are not handsome, but in fact, they only need one look and one action from him to see it.
But the young man in front of him stood up straight, looked at her with a smile, and said softly, "Third Miss, I'm sorry to disturb me today." ”
The word gentle as jade seems to be made for him.
The young man approached slowly, his steps were not hurried, and there was a light smile on his lips, "Third Miss? ”
Even the arc of laughter is just right, such a person is like a beautiful boy who came out of a famous painting.
Xia Ruan gathered her mind and smiled a little helplessly, in her previous life, she thought that she was used to seeing the calm Xiao Shaocheng, and she would not be shocked when she saw him again.
But......
When I saw him a little green in this life, I was still attracted and couldn't help myself.
It seems that every time ...... Every time.
He was like a magnet, attracting her and couldn't take her eyes off it.
"Does Xiao Gongzi want to go to the house to sit?" Xia Ruan realized what he had said only after he finished speaking. It's no longer right for a lonely man and a woman to be in the same place, if it's in the same room again......
She felt as if some sweat was forming on her palms. Feeling hot.
The smile on Xiao Jiu's face deepened: "It's here, I like the camellia here." I didn't expect the third lady to raise camellias. I thought ......"
Xia Ruan naturally knew what Xiao Jiu was talking about, Xiao Jiu must have thought that these camellias were given to her, she couldn't raise them, maybe it was worse to raise these camellias to wither.
After hearing this, she retorted without thinking about it: "I naturally will." ”
It seemed that speech had become a reflex, and she could speak without even thinking.
Not only was she stunned in surprise, but even Xiao Jiu had a playful smile when she looked at her, as if she wanted to see through what she was thinking in her heart.
After Du Ruo brought the tea, he left in a hurry. Xia Ruan sat on the stone bench on the side, feeling that in such a warm sun, the sun was lazy.
A gust of wind blew, with warmth and a fragrance of camellia.
Xia Ruan felt that she didn't seem to smell this smell for a long time.
Because of this smell, she is very familiar, and it can make her Japanese irritable mood gradually calm.
Xiao Jiu sat opposite Xia Ruan without politeness. Just holding the tea cup and playing with it, it seems that this blue and white porcelain tea cup is like a rare treasure.
After waiting for a while, Xia Ruan couldn't hold his breath for a while.
"Since Xiao Gongzi came to me today. You must have something to tell me, right? Xia Ruan's expression was a little unnatural, not at all like her usual calm appearance, "Could it be that Xiao Gongzi wants to think like this." Grab a cup of tea and go. ”
There was a faint smile on the corner of Xiao Jiu's mouth, looking at Xia Ruan. The smile was a little more: "Why not?" ”
His words made Xia Ruan unable to refute.
She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea as if she was a little angry. The tea leaves are Lu'an melon slices brought to her by her third uncle from Kyoto. She has never been too picky about tea, but she doesn't know why she drank these Lu'an melon slices today, but it made her feel surprisingly delicious.
Xia Ruan thought, her appetite was really a little tricky.
"Since the third lady is a smart person, then I'll just say it." Xiao Jiu took out a paper bag from his cuff, Xia Ruan was a little curious, what was in it.
But Xia Ruan never thought that the thing in this was actually mulberry.
Her eyes widened, looking at Xiao Jiu's expression as if she was looking at a stranger, she didn't know how to open her mouth to ask why Xiao Jiu had been giving her these things these days. Because she knew that no matter how reasonable she was, she seemed to be rude in front of Xiao Jiu, and she felt a little frustrated.
No matter what life she is, she is no match for this person.
But despite thinking so in his heart, Xia Ruan still looked at Xiao Jiu as if he didn't understand: "I don't eat these." ”
It's not that she's picky about these, but she's long past the age of eating snacks.
Xiao Jiu didn't seem to understand what she meant, but lowered his voice: "Third Miss, have you forgotten?" Nine years ago......"
After he finished speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly and replied to himself, "The third young lady may have forgotten." ”
Xia Ruan didn't understand what Xiao Jiu was talking about, nine years ago?
Nine years ago, she was just a childlike child who liked to follow her mother's side, and she even liked to run around on the Zhuangzi, these things seemed to her memory too long, where did she remember.
Xiao Jiu's posture was elegant, as if he was born to be a noble person: "Then let me tell you something that the third miss remembers, has the third miss ever thought about what Bei Xiao and Dong Xiao will do to the third miss after this time?" ”
Xiao Jiu's words were very direct, and the startled Xia Ruan had to put the tea cup in his hand on the table.
In fact, she has been thinking about these things all along.
Over the years, Dong Xiao and North Xiao have given up the chess piece of Nan Xiao, which is actually a very wise choice.
But Dong Xiao and North Xiao never thought of giving up their glory and wealth, and they were very close to the eldest prince and the sixth prince. The Tang family and Dong Xiao are even more intimate, and it is no secret that Tang Jingxuan wants to marry the daughter of Wei Guogong, for Xia Ruan, these things have nothing to do with her, but when she looked at her third uncle, she thought that she still couldn't escape these fates.
The Li family also has her lobby uncle and second cousin, in fact, this is the so-called bane.
This time, the third uncle came to Dongyang to find her and her mother, but he actually took a big risk. Since the previous generation, the position of Cheng Guogong has been snatched by the Li family, and now the third uncle is ......
Xia Ruan Zhilu said that the third uncle was really good to her and her mother, and the third uncle was not as unbeatable as rumored.
Over the years of the Jiang family, the children who have come out are more and more uncompetitive than the other. The Jiang family wants to keep their daughter's position as queen, so the only pressure is on the third uncle. The third uncle has been in officialdom for many years, and he has always understood that he has to be alienated from several princes. But this is where the third uncle is more stressed.
If you don't choose to go along with it, then some people will see you like a thorn in their side and want to get rid of it quickly.
Xia Ruan reminded him when the third uncle left: "Third uncle, Ah Ruan is a daughter, but Ah Ruan knows some things about the Dao, and he will never know what the outcome of the Dao will be until the end." If you believe Ah Ruan, you must be careful, there must be someone dormant among the princes, and the eldest prince and the sixth prince are not this one. ”
Li Changfeng looked at Xia Ruan's expression at that time, and was a little more proud: "It's a pity that Ah Ruan is a daughter, otherwise the third uncle really hopes that you can embark on a career in office." The third uncle knows how to deal with it, you can rest assured. ”
Li Changfeng never asked her why she would say these words, as if what she said, he was born to believe it.
Xia Ruan blamed herself a little, if she told her third uncle, she would be reliving her life...... She actually knew the truth, she couldn't say.
Because some things have changed in this life and the previous life, even Xiao Xuelan, the seventh lady of Beixiao, can marry Yue Chengan, so what else will not change?
She reminded the third uncle of these words, that is, to let the third uncle not underestimate the four princes, even if the choice of the emperor in the coming day changes, the fourth prince is also the one who can stir up the storm the most.
"Xiao Gongzi has something to say, it's better to be more direct, right? I can barely guess what you're saying. Xia Ruan frowned slightly, and glanced at Xiao Jiu with some annoyance, "And what is your purpose, Young Master Xiao?" You can say it together. ”
Looking at Xiao Jiu closely, I found that his lips were very good-looking, and the color was also very light. He always has a smile on his face, and he looks a little softer like this.
His slender fingers tapped on the tabletop: "Third Miss, in fact, you have always doubted that the uncle of the Xia family will be poisoned by the Western Regions, right?" ”
"You ......" Xia Ruan felt that she was really getting more and more unable to see through the person in front of her, but her own mind was guessed thoroughly by this person, "So what." ”
She felt that in front of Xiao Jiu, there was no need to hide what she suspected.
After Du Ruo mentioned the inexplicable death of someone in Zhuangzi, she began to suspect that this person was actually her uncle's subordinate. Sure enough, after she went to investigate, she found out that this person was a person who had helped her uncle do things, and later died under this strange poison. Later, the eldest uncle poisoned his father, and Du Ruo found out that it was this poison again.
But what made Xia Ruan most suspicious was that the eldest aunt had obviously given the eldest uncle cold food powder, but Du Ruo found another poison from the Western Regions in the eldest uncle's body.
The names of these two poisons, Xia Ruan remembered unforgettable.
It's just that if the eldest uncle has contact with the people in the Western Regions, why would he be poisoned like this?
She had never figured out what was going on, and she had actually doubted Xiao Jiu, but Xiao Jiu didn't need to give such a valuable medicine to her eldest uncle. After all, according to Xiao Jiu's current financial resources, it is too difficult to buy such a medicine.
But who gave such medicine to the eldest uncle?
The more she thought about it, the more she didn't understand, so she could only pay more attention to her uncle's house.
Today's words were mentioned again by Xiao Jiu, she looked at Xiao Jiu's eyes, a little more puzzled, and couldn't help asking, "Could it be that you know the way?" Actually, you ......"
"I naturally know the way." Xiao Jiu interrupted Xia Ruan's words without thinking about it, "Otherwise, why did I come to find Third Miss?" ”
After speaking, he smiled faintly, giving Xia Ruan a feeling of fresh breeze.
This person is too unfathomable. (To be continued......)
