On the night of February 18, when Su Yixing fed the sleeping Xia Shuanghan and ate the poison, the whole plan of how to take Xia Shuanghan for himself had already taken shape in his mind. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

The statement that deceived Xia Shuanghan and "I don't plan to marry you" is actually not Su Yixing's true thoughts. In his heart, giving the woman he likes a decent identity is his due responsibility as a man.

Therefore, the moment Su Yixing made up his mind to snatch Xia Shuanghan from Lu Shaoyun, he realized that how to dissolve the marriage contract between Lu Xia's two families was the first problem he needed to solve.

Lu Shaoyun's mother Xu doesn't like Xia Shuanghan, and Su Yixing knows this. After all, based on how much he had heard of the Xu family in previous years, Su Yixing could conclude that judging from Xia Shuanghan's background alone, she was not the daughter-in-law that the Xu family could look up to.

So, in the summer of last year, what was the reason why the Xu family, who was not fond of their future daughter-in-law, was able to happily marry Lu Shaoyun and Xia Shuanghan? With such doubts, Su Yixing learned that "the Xu family suspected that Lu Shaoyun had broken sleeves, so he wanted to marry Xia Shuanghan as a fig leaf".

Lu Shaoyun is a broken sleeve? Su Yixing didn't believe this kind of unreliable news. And as far as he knows, no one in the Pei family, who had seen Lu Shaoyun and Xia Shuanghan getting along with each other outside the Guanyin Temple, believed it.

Therefore, as long as the incident of "Lu Shaoyun pretending to break his sleeves" is exposed, the Xu family, who is already disdainful of the "promiscuous and shameless" Xia Shuanghan, even if he knows the truth of the fake escape marriage, he will not be able to have a good impression of a woman who "has so much influence on her son".

What's more, Su Yixing also asked his stepmother Xie to convey some things that he "inadvertently" learned to Xu in the process of investigating the Jiuping Iron Mine.

At this point, when the Xu family knew that "Pei Huanting has a love for Lu Shaoyun, Lu Shaoyun pretended to be a broken sleeve for Xia Shuanghan, and Xia Shuanghan's whereabouts are now unknown and it is very likely that she has lost her fertility", the family affairs of the Lu Xia family will definitely become a thorn in her side that must be solved.

Before sending the letter to his stepmother Xie Shi, Su Yixing, who had been hiding Xia Shuanghan's traces and knowing Lu Xiaoqing's personality, had been waiting for the news that Dingguo Gong had left Beijing with his relatives. Subsequently, outside the tea shed on the side of the official road, Su Yixing, who confirmed that Lu Xiaoqing was the same as he imagined, and did not make the matter of "fake escape marriage" public, decided that the time was ripe.

With Lu Xiaoqing and Lu Shaoyun both at the border, no one in the Dingguo Mansion knew the fact that "the marriage between the Lu Xia family is still valid" except for the Xu family, who deliberately pretended to be stupid. Under such circumstances, why is it difficult for the Xu family to ask for a marriage decree in front of his own aunt, the Queen Mother?

As for the marriage letter and token between the Lu Xia family, the Xu family, who does not leave a tail and will never give Lu Shaoyun a chance to marry Xia Shuanghan, will definitely deal with it cleanly.

At this point, there was Yi Zhi blocking the way, and there were tokens lost, even if Lu Xiaoqing and Lu Shaoyun, who rushed back to the capital later, were able to get an opportunity to "give Xia Shi as Lu Shaoyun's wife" with the efforts of many parties, it was impossible for Xia Shuanghan to accept the marriage of "two daughters serving one husband", and he would choose to leave Lu Shaoyun in pain.

Subsequently, when Xia Shuanghan and Lu Shaoyun had nothing to do with each other, Su Chunfeng, the king of Xiangyang, who was concerned about the "marriage of the only child", went to the emperor to ask for a decree, and Xia Shuanghan would definitely be forced by the imperial power to become Su Yixing's rightful wife.

As for Xia Shuanghan's "difficult heirs", Su Yixing, who believed that he would definitely find the divine doctor Shen Fanyi in Dr. Qin's mouth, believed that he would definitely cure her.

So, to sum up, it was Su Yixing's real intention to put Xia Shuanghan under house arrest and not allow her to get in touch with Lu Shaoyun. As for whether his full plan can be realized, this will start with Pei Huanting, who plays an extremely important role in this entire plan.

Since August last year, Pei Huanting, who has thought that she is expected to marry Lu Shaoyun after receiving the support of her mother Chen, has been living a smooth life in the past seven or eight months.

Lu Shaoyun's mother, Xu, is secretly choosing a wife for Lu Shaoyun, and Pei Huanting knows about this. The fact that she was at the top of the "future daughter-in-law candidate list" in Xu's heart, Pei Huanting also heard Lu Ruqian, who had always wanted her to be her fifth sister-in-law, said.

Therefore, since the first meeting with Xu, Pei Huanting, who has intended to cater to the aesthetics and preferences of the "future mother-in-law", has the support of her mother Chen, and she only feels that she is like a tiger with wings, and her wish is just around the corner.

It's just that the dream is plump, and the reality is skinny. Although Pei Huanting deliberately forgot the last time she met Lu Shaoyun in the back garden of the Dingguo Mansion, his indifferent eyes froze her from head to toe. wishful thinking that she could conquer Lu Shaoyun sooner or later with her charm, but she still hit a wall with Lu Xiaoqing.

According to the statement of "Neiying" Lu Ruqian, since Lu Shaoyun left Beijing, the Xu family has mentioned Lu Shaoyun's marriage to his father-in-law many times. But every time, no matter how many reasons Xu posed, Lu Xiaoqing always had that negative attitude.

"Do you want to marry Tingxuan another family affair? Yes, you can wait for him to come back from Jiangnan, and then go and talk to him yourself. It's just that before Ting Xuan returns to Beijing, if you dare to dispose of his life's affairs at will behind my back, don't blame my family law for serving at that time. ”

After learning about Ding Guogong's stinky and hard attitude, Pei Huanting was a little panicked. I think that at the beginning, after Lu Shaoyun was "ordered to go south", she always insisted that when the Chinese New Year came to the next year, Lu Shaoyun, who had calmed down for more than half a year, said that she should put down the summer frost and cold. But in fact, this is not the case.

In Layue, a letter from Jiangnan that was directly delivered to Lu Xiaoqing clearly conveyed the news that Lu Shaoyun would not return to Beijing for the New Year. Moreover, although Lu Shaoyun said in the letter that he couldn't spare time to return to Beijing because he was busy with official business, Pei Huanting knew that in fact, Lu Shaoyun didn't want to return to the sad place of Beijing because his heart disease had not yet healed.

Pei Huanting didn't understand why Lu Shaoyun would never forget her with the posture and arrogant personality of Xia Shuanghan. But when I thought about it, the day he returned to Beijing was when he was married, but after forcibly suppressing the jealousy in his heart, she quietly suffered in the long wait.

On the fourth day of the first month of March, in the spring just after the Shangsi Festival, Pei Huanting suddenly learned the news that Lu Xiaoqing had left Beijing. In the next few days, she still couldn't recover from Lu Xiaoqing's departure, and she was suddenly hit by the "happiness cake" that her dream came true.

The day when the dream came true was originally just a day when Pei Huanting entered the palace to accompany her friend Princess Shengping to practice dance. But halfway through the singing and dancing practice, she entered the palace with her mother Chen, and was in the Guerlain Hall of the Concubine Shu, but she suddenly received a will from the Grand Duke beside the Queen Mother.

"I was given to be married! I'm going to marry Lu Gongzi! Pei Huanting, who knelt down to receive the Yi Zhi, was so surprised and happy that she didn't know how to react at all after listening to the content of the Yi Zhi word by word. It wasn't until she got into the carriage back to the Prime Minister's Mansion with her mother that she finally cried with joy when she woke up.

However, with Yi Zhi, does it mean that Pei Huanting can really marry Lu Shaoyun as she wishes? Apparently not. At least, Lu Xiaoqing, who had already warned the Xu family before leaving Beijing, and Lu Shaoyun, who was concerned about Xia Shuanghan and had no interest in all other women, did not admit it from the bottom of their hearts.

In the capital, in response to the marriage of Pei Huanting and Lu Shaoyun, there are such two people, and there are all kinds of resistance and disagreement in their hearts. These two people are - Lin Xiran, who returned to Jingzhao Yin Yamen to reinstate after handing over the information brought back from the border pass at Jinwuwei Yamen; and Xia Jingzhi, who has been teaching Xia Chaoyang with his heart, during the time when Xia Shuanghan left Beijing.

Lin Xiran, as an old man who started investigating homicide cases on the second day of his reinstatement, was so busy that he knew about the marriage of the Queen Mother for a few days better than the other two of him and Lu Shaoyun.

If it weren't for Lin Xiran, who took the time to go to the gluttonous building to have a meal with Zhuo Feifei and Zeng Keying in the gap between the investigation of the case, and learned from them that Lu Shaoyun's marriage had twists and turns, it is estimated that his move to find Xia from the door of the house for this matter would not appear a few days later.

"Shuang Han hasn't been found yet, and Dingguo Gong and Ting Xuan haven't come back at the border gate, should I go to Xia Hanlin to discuss the matter of marriage?"

On the night of 15 March, when there was less than half an hour left before the curfew, after confirming that Xia Shuanghan had not returned home on the day he returned to Beijing, he forced out some time to investigate outside Xia's house every other day, and found Shuanghe Lane familiarly.

There were no lights in the dark alley, and the surrounding residents who were already ready to sleep had already fallen into the lock of the courtyard door. Thinking about whether there would be something wrong with him coming at this hour, Lin Xiran was hesitating, and when he raised his eyes, he suddenly saw a certain figure, but finally helped him make up his mind to enter the Xia family.

"Thief? Impossible, the Xia family is not a wealthy family, how could there be such a swift thief who entered their house to steal things? Lin Xiran, who was so puzzled in his heart, insisted that he didn't care if he was a thief or not, and then arrested the masked man in black first, and climbed into the courtyard wall and launched a grappling move.

It's a pity that after a fight, Lin Xiran, who was plotted by the powder spilled in front of the cunning man in black, finally missed it without paying attention.

"I'm the catcher of Jingzhao Yin Yamen, and I was taking the thief just now. It's just that I was careless and let the thief run away. After roughly disposing of the powder on his face with a handkerchief, Lin Xiran, who showed the token in time, roughly explained what had happened to several people of the Xia family who rushed outside Xia Jingzhi's house after hearing the sound.

Subsequently, Lin Xiran, who had gained the trust of the Xia family, looked around the courtyard and asked, "Where is your master Xia Hanlin?" Isn't it, he should be on duty at the Hanlin Academy tonight? ”

"Big brother, why don't you know that our young master has been lost, since you belong to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen?" Aunt Fu, who was worried about the loss of the little young master, her eyes were red, and she gave a general account of the situation in the past few days. Where the information is insufficient, Lin Xiran also completes it according to some additional information he has mastered.

It turned out that Xia Jingzhi knew about the marriage of the Queen Mother, and it was actually two days earlier than Lin Xiran.

At that time, the moment he learned that Lu Shaoyun was married by the Queen Mother, Xia Jingzhi was very confused. Because, although the marriage between the two families between Lu Xia and Xia was nominally dissolved due to Xia Shuanghan's false escape from marriage last year, in fact, Xia Jingzhi knew very well that this marriage contract was still valid!

After all, even if the first month has passed, even if the "one-year covenant" made in Lu Xiaoqing's study last year has expired, as long as there is no personal confirmation from Xia Shuanghan, then the dissolution of the marriage contract will not be officially effective. Therefore, before receiving the letter of "dissolution of the marriage contract" written by Xia Shuanghan himself, Xia Jingzhi, who tacitly accepted the marriage contract as valid, could not accept the queen mother's decree.

Therefore, although on the day he learned about the marriage, Xia Jingzhi wanted to go to the Dingguo Mansion and find the Dingguo Mansion in person to find out the matter thoroughly. But thinking of Lu Xiaoqing's hurried departure from Beijing a few days ago, Xia Jingzhi, who thought that Lu Shaoyun was very likely to have an accident at the border pass, finally suppressed the emotions in his heart.

"When their grandfather and grandson and Frost Cold come back from the border pass, it's not too late for us to get together and talk about it! Anyway, even if you come to the door now, there is no one in the Guogong Mansion who can make the final say, right? So in this way, Xia Jingzhi calmly maintained the calm on his face, and only waited peacefully for Xia Shuanghan's return with his son Xia Chaoyang according to the original plan.

It's just that Xia Chaoyang is such a sensitive and intelligent child, even if Xia Jingzhi hides his inner emotions with all his strength, and he has outstanding observation, he still senses that something is wrong with his father without being able to say what he does.

In order to prevent Xia Chaoyang from knowing about those things that should not be known to him, on February 14, Xia Jingzhi, who claimed that he had an appointment with a painting friend on the second day, so he could not take him on a trip, sent Xia Chaoyang, who returned home from school in the evening, to the Chen family, the owner of the Zhenqu Pavilion in the west of the city.

It's just that Xia Jingzhi, who hoped that his son and the Chen brothers would have a good time at that time, and then turned his attention to other things, would not have thought that on the next March 15, two things happened that were difficult for him to accept: first, Xia Chaoyang was lost; Second, Chen Jinglun fell unconscious after hitting his head.

Xia Jingzhi, who learned the news from the Chen family's subordinates, rushed to Jingzhao Yin Yamen on horseback as soon as possible. In the process of asking for help from his acquaintance Yao, who was in the same year, to help find someone, Xia Jingzhi learned such a thing from the quick mouth of the arrester who investigated the location of the accident - Chen Jinglun was obviously pushed to the ground in the process of preventing Xia Chaoyang from being forcibly taken away, so he broke his head.

The whereabouts of his only son are unknown, and his only son's friend is unconscious because of his righteous actions, for these two things, on the 15th day, Xia Jingzhi has been tossing and turning between Jingzhao Yin Yamen and the Chen family, so busy that his feet barely touch the ground.

At this point, Lin Xiran, who had roughly straightened out the context of the matter in his mind, sighed that he was busy investigating the case outside and didn't know that Xia Chaoyang was missing, and even had such a doubt-there was such a big thing in the Xia family a few days after the Queen Mother's marriage, is there any ulterior connection here?

It's just that Lin Xiran, who had such doubts, no longer has time to think about it carefully. Because, if he wants to really come in handy and contribute to Lu Shaoyun and Xia Shuanghan, who are not in the capital at this time, then he must rush to Xia Jingzhi, who is in urgent need of help, before the curfew.

On March 16, Xia Shuanghan was finally forced to return to the capital after being placed under house arrest by Su Yixing for a whole month. On the carriage that was swaying slightly, glancing at Su Yixing, who was sitting with his eyes closed, Xia Shuanghan only felt that he was very bottomless in his heart.

What Su Yixing said at the beginning that he wanted to imprison her as a confinement did succeed in bluffing Xia Shuanghan at the beginning. But after nearly a month of inseparable relationship, she gradually got to know Su Yixing better, but gradually no longer believed the statement she heard at the beginning.

Frankly speaking, since the day Xia Shuanghan was poisoned, Su Yixing has always been very good to her, except for not allowing her to escape and contact outsiders. At the very least, he has the most basic respect for her personality, and he has never shown an attitude of treating her as a plaything. Therefore, gradually, Xia Shuanghan began to think about whether there was any other purpose behind Su Yixing's house arrest?

On the marching carriage, Xia Shuanghan had not yet been able to fully sort out her thoughts, and the unclear sound of conversation coming from the bustling streets completely attracted her attention.

The whereabouts of his younger brother Chaoyang are unknown, and the Chen family Jinglun is unconscious. These two pieces of news were enough for Xia Shuanghan to put everything aside, desperately fight to snatch the incense source that Su Yixing was carrying, and then jumped out of the carriage and left. It's just that before she started, Su Yixing took the initiative to hand over a small porcelain bottle, but all the measures she didn't have time to carry out were nipped in the bud.

"What do you mean by that? Give me the antidote and let me go? Would you be so kind? Taking the small porcelain bottle containing the pill, Xia Shuang raised her eyebrows suspiciously. But thinking of her younger brother's current situation, she didn't care about her own safety, so she still pulled out the cork, shook out the pill and fed herself.

Swallowing the pill and waiting for a while, he saw that Su Yixing, who had always been silent, had no intention of stopping him. Xia Shuanghan conveniently lifted the curtain, stepped out and landed on the ground.

Looking out the car window at the woman who ran away without looking back after getting out of the car, Su Yixing's heart was calm and waiting for the development of the situation.

The Queen Mother gave Lu Shaoyun and Pei Huanting a marriage, and Su Yixing already knew about it before she entered Beijing. The Xu family found someone to kidnap Xia Chaoyang, and then took advantage of Xia Jingzhi's busy looking for his son to order someone to sneak into Xia's house to steal the marriage book and tokens, but in the end he failed because of Lin Xiran's sudden appearance, and he also heard about it.

"It's not enough to succeed, it's more than enough to lose, and it's not good to do such a simple thing, and I don't know how the Xu family has been in charge of the family over the years."

In the carriage, faced with the fact that the Xu family failed to completely settle the marriage contract between the two Lu Xia families, Su Yixing was a little dissatisfied in his heart. But when he thought about it, Su Yixing was more relieved because Xia Jingzhi wanted to hide from his smart and clever son and prevent him from discovering the marriage letter and tokens that should not appear in the Xia family, and then hid them very secretly.

Such a difficult thing to find, the people sent by the Xu family relied on the method of "blowing incense to make the Xia family fall into a coma, and then entering the house to look for it", it was indeed not easy to find it. After all, it is possible that the things were hidden under the cover by Xia Jingzhi?

It's just that it's just a matter of kidnapping Xia Chaoyang and transferring the tiger away from the mountain, and the people Xu is looking for are too unfavorable. hurt the innocent Chen family ghost, and the follow-up of this matter has to be tossed.

Knowing that if Chen Jinglun couldn't wake up because of this accident, then once he married Xia Shuanghan, Su Yixing, who would have to carry this burden on his back, raised his hand and buckled the window, and said to Li Qinglan, who was riding a horse outside the carriage, and said: "Qinglan, the whereabouts of Doctor Shen, have you still not been able to find out?" ”

"Back to the world, Qinglan is incompetent, and there is indeed no progress now."

"Keep looking, don't stop if you don't find Shen Fanyi." Su Yixing leaned back on the wall of the carriage with a command, closed his eyes again and fell into deep thought.

Originally, according to his original plan, Su Yixing planned to wait for the Xu family to settle the two matters of marriage and tokens, and Xia Chaoyang returned to the Xia family safely and soundly, and then let Xia Shuanghan leave.

But now, Jing Zhaoyin was entrusted by Xia Jingzhi to invite the imperial doctor to treat Chen Jinglun well, and Chen Juntang invited almost all the doctors in Beijing for his son, and then made the events of the fifteenth day boiled and everyone knew about it, in such a situation, it was impossible to detain Xia Shuanghan, who was thinking about his younger brother.

So there was no way, Su Yixing could only let Xia Shuanghan get free in advance. After all, what he wanted was Xia Shuanghan's heart, so he didn't want to make her more dissatisfied and hostile to him for the sake of a Xia Chaoyang.

But fortunately, even if the time for Xia Shuanghan's freedom is slightly different from the original plan, at the moment when the Queen Mother's decree has been made, Su Yixing's idea of marrying Xia Shuanghan is still in his chest.

He believed that with the wisdom of Xia Shuanghan, with the three things of Yi's marriage, the disappearance of her brother, and the escape of the man in black, it would not be long before she would be able to connect the events and find the truth. Now that Chen Jinglun is seriously injured for Xia Chaoyang, if something happens to Xia Chaoyang's body, I am afraid that the hatred for the Xu family will be enough for her to break off Lu Shaoyun.

As for the fact that he imprisoned Xia Shuanghan and promoted everything behind the scenes as a promoter, Su Yixing was not worried. Because, even if Xia Shuanghan knew what his role in this whole thing was? The person who touched her bottom line was Xu, not him, Su Yixing. Therefore, there is a debtor and a debtor, even if Xia Shuanghan has a grudge against him, it is absolutely impossible to really hate him. (To be continued.) )
