Chapter 213: Why be polite
Touched by Qin Feng for a moment, Xie Ning's eyes swept past countless pictures of his childhood, and a faint sourness appeared in his throat.
The former saw it clearly, although she didn't know why she was suddenly like this, but she still frowned secretly, her eyes flashed, and she changed the topic: "But I just did this, didn't it frighten you?" ”
Where is she such a timid person. Xie Ning suddenly came back to his senses, hid his thoughts, shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Ziyue, don't worry." I was just a little caught off guard. ”
Qin Feng couldn't help but glance at her deeply, as if he was discerning the truth and falsehood of what she said at this time.
Bumped into such a clear and sharp gaze, Xie Ning was a little weak for some reason, and just about to turn his head and look away, he happened to hear a knock on the door from outside - "Knock knock"
Finally breathing a sigh of relief, Xie Ning turned around in an instant, and asked a little disguisedly, "What's the matter?" ”
Mingshuang's voice came from outside the door-"Miss, the tall lady of the Jingyang Hou Mansion is now outside the hall, saying that she wants to see you." ”
Gao Yiyao?
There is nothing to do in the Three Treasures Palace, the two of them clearly met at the family banquet a few days ago, and now she suddenly came to the door, and she didn't know what she was doing.
Xie Ning was full of doubts at this time, and he didn't know how to make a decision for a while, when he suddenly heard a clear male voice coming from behind him, but it was Qin Feng who was giving advice.
"Miss Gao has always been unfriendly with you, but right now it's in our territory, so it doesn't hurt if you see her."
That's the truth. Xie Ning couldn't help but nod at Qin Feng, and then turned to Ming Shuang and said, "Then invite her to the front hall first." ”
From beginning to end, Xie Ning dared to pat his chest in public and say that he had never done anything sorry for the Gao sisters. The one who did the wrong thing was not her. The other party came to the door, what was she afraid of?
Walking from the West Garden to the front hall, it was already past the time of a pillar of incense. At this time, Gao Yiyao had already sat down in the guest seat of the next head, and her eyes were always staring at the door, although her face was light, there was still a bit of eagerness that could not be concealed between her gestures.
But when her eyes touched the slowly approaching figure, she couldn't help frowning secretly.
Xie Ning didn't care much about her dress, and after Qin Feng sat down, he looked straight at Gao Yiyao opposite. "I didn't know that Miss Gao was here today. What's the matter? ”
This is not the Hou Mansion, and there are no outsiders around, Xie Ning felt that he did not pose as a sister and friendship with her, so he subconsciously changed his name.
Compared to the "Cousin Yao" in front of people. Although it is a little more alienated. But it also adds a bit of truth.
Gao Yiyao certainly sensed Shainin's changes. However, at this time, her attention was not on these trivial matters, but glanced at Qin Feng who was sitting on top of the two without a trace. I wondered if I should speak.
She came here this time to ask Xie Ning carefully about the matter of Fuwei Temple, but now that King An is here, she doesn't know whether to say it directly.
After all, this matter not only involves Xie Ning's reputation, but also a scandal in the Hou Mansion, it would be good if King An had known about it a long time ago, but if he didn't know, wouldn't it have added a lot of trouble?
Gao Yiyao's eyes flashed slightly, but she didn't rush to respond to Xie Ning's words, but got up again, bowed in the direction of Qin Feng, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness." The little girl came to visit this time because she wanted to talk to her cousin about private matters. I also hope that His Royal Highness will allow the little girl to sit in the backyard of the museum. ”
Qin Feng glanced at her deeply, then looked away noncommittally and looked in the direction of Xie Ning.
At this time, Xie Ning had countless unknown questions in his heart. But Gao Yiyao clearly wanted to be alone with her, and she naturally wouldn't have stage fright, so she glanced at Qin Feng and nodded slightly.
Qin Feng thoughtlessly, glanced at Gao Yiyao thoughtfully, and said lightly: "Then let's go." ”
"Yes." Gao Yiyao nodded respectfully, saluted again, and then turned around and walked out of the hall.
When Xie Ning saw her actions, he suddenly realized Qin Feng's identity as the prince of the dynasty, but for a while, he only felt a little strange.
She and Qin Feng have a relationship with each other, and their correspondence is also very close. In front of Qin Feng, Xie Ning has always been very comfortable, and those cumbersome and polite false courtesies have long been thrown out of the clouds by her. Except for occasionally acting in front of people, Xie Ning has always been commensurate with Qin Feng, not to mention that sometimes she is used to being casual, and she will secretly call the other party Qin Ziyue by name and surname in her heart.
But at this moment, she couldn't help but hesitate because of this salute. It is said that with the relationship between her and Qin Feng, it is inevitable that she will be a little rusty to bow and leave, but if she wants to leave directly in front of Gao Yiyao, it is difficult to guarantee that the other party will not take the opportunity to mock her afterwards.
She doesn't want to be pointed out as a dirt bun who doesn't know etiquette anymore.
"The little girl is out of company first."
Xie Ning didn't hesitate for too long, so he also stood up, faced Qin Feng, and squatted down with a standard demeanor before turning around and leaving.
Qin Feng was stunned in the hall for a moment for some reason, and after thinking about the cause and effect, he chuckled clearly, "Heh." ”
But it was said that Gao Yiyao and Xie Ning went out, and before they took a few steps, there was a slightly hurried call from behind them.
"Miss, Miss!"
When Xie Ning heard the sound, he couldn't help but stop, and when he looked back, he saw Gu Sui running all the way over, followed by Mingshuang.
Could it be that something happened in the museum?
Xie Ning's expression changed, and he immediately greeted him, not caring that Gao Yiyao was still beside him, and asked directly, "What's wrong?" ”
Gu Sui hurriedly stopped, raised his hand to support his chest, and said hurriedly with a red face: "Gu, Gu Sui will accompany you." ”
Although her words did not match the preamble, they could be heard in Xie Ning's ears, but the implication was very clear.
Presumably Gu Sui heard that Gao Yiyao came to the door, and he was concerned for a while, so he caught up.
Xie Ning couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, subconsciously glanced back at Gao Yiyao, and after confirming that the other party did not follow, he raised his hand and patted Gu Sui's shoulder, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry." Even if I go against her, I won't suffer a loss from your young lady. ”
The melancholy on Gu Sui's face remained unchanged, but she frowned. The voice said in a panic: "Miss, after all, they are not good people, so you can let me follow you." ”
Since entering the Hou Mansion, most of the things that Xie Ning's master and servant have suffered have been cold treatments. Coupled with the fact that he had experienced the night attack on Fuwei Temple, it is no wonder that in Gu Sui's eyes, Gao Yiyao and others have become bad people.
When Xie Ning heard this, he didn't correct anything. It's just that Gao Yiyao had already made it clear that she wanted to talk to her alone, and it was a little inappropriate for her to bring the ears of grain again.
She was about to say no, but Mingshuang, who was standing on the side, took a step faster than her. With a smile, he pulled the sleeve of the ear of grain. Coaxed with a bit of comfort: "She and Miss have something to say, now that she is in the Yanwu Pavilion, what are you afraid of." It really doesn't work, let's wait and look for no trace. Let him keep an eye out for movement from a distance. ”
Gu Sui nodded in agreement. When he turned around, he was going to pull the frost to find no trace.
Shainin saw it in his eyes. Naturally, he knew that the other party's move was caused by concern, so he didn't stop him, turned around and walked forward with Gao Yiyao.
The two walked all the way to the second courtyard in the Yan Wu Pavilion. Xie Ning wanted to bring the other party to the flower hall, but unexpectedly, Gao Yiyao walked to the edge of the pool, and saw that there was no one around, so he stopped.
Xie Ning also followed and stood by the pool, but it was not far away, and he happened to maintain a distance of three feet from Gao Yiyao.
Although the two of them are standing together right now, Xie Ning is still a little puzzled by Gao Yiyao's sudden visit, so he is naturally a little more vigilant.
He has never liked to beat around the bush, but as soon as Xie Ningfu stood still, he turned his head to look at Gao Yiyao, raised his eyebrows and said, "What is the matter with Miss Gao's visit today, now I can finally say it." ”
didn't mind Xie Ning's rather provocative words, Gao Yiyao just glanced at Xie Ning lightly, and then said directly: "I have something I want to ask you." ”
"What?" Xie Ning wondered in his heart, but his face was cold.
Gao Yiyao is a well-known cold beauty in Beijing, but when she speaks, she is very brief, "Before we leave, what happened to you in Fuwei Temple." ”
I don't know if it was Xie Ning's illusion, but for a moment I thought that Gao Yiyao's voice sounded a little obscure.
But whatever the facts, it has nothing to do with her.
Xie Ning didn't have the heart to guess what Gao Yiyao was thinking at the moment, and he didn't have the patience to deal with the other party, so he only smiled and said, "You were also in the temple at the time, so why do you knowingly ask." ”
As soon as he heard her mention the three words of Fuwei Temple, Xie Ning was already so angry in his heart that he didn't fight anywhere, it was good not to beat her away, how could he be kind to her?
Gao Yiyao was arrogant, if she looked at the usual situation, the other party would definitely ignore her at this time, and then walked away with a cold face.
To Xie Ning's surprise, Gao Yiyao not only did not leave angrily, but even did not show the slightest anger on her face, but chuckled helplessly and said in a low voice: "Heh, it seems that this matter is true." ”
Xie Ning was suspicious, although she didn't know what Gao Yiyao's actions meant today, but from what she had just said to herself, she had already deduced a few clues, and her mind turned at the moment, and she subconsciously asked out loud: "What is the truth, where did you hear about it?" ”
Since Gao Yiyao asked like this, it can be seen that she already has a clear understanding of what happened in Fuwei Temple now.
But at the time of interrogation of Chang Qi, the two Gao sisters were not present, and they were in the same place, although they could hear some movement, but after all, they could not hear as clearly as in the wing.
What's more, grandmother Liu intends to block the news, and Xiang will not be stupid enough to tell his daughter about the stupid things he did.
In fact, at first, Shainin was not very sure about this. After all, as soon as she entered the Hou Mansion, she couldn't help but move on Xiang because of the other party's bad words. Since then, the Gao sisters' alienated attitude towards her has also made her vaguely feel that the two have known about this matter.
Xiang is the mother of the two of them, so it is not surprising that they will be angry with her because of this. At first, Xie Ning also had some understanding of their approach.
But as time went by, she finally realized that Gao Yiyan didn't like her because the other party liked to compare, and she praised the high and the low. And Gao Yiyao didn't like her because of the family affair that had been agreed upon in the Wei State Mansion.
Xiang never said anything about Xie Ning's offense to her, since she values face so much, she is so poisonous, she must not say it to Gao Yiyao.
But after many days, Gao Yiyao suddenly came to the door to mention this matter, and there must be a reason.
Xie Ning looked at the other party steadily, and there was a little curiosity in his heart that had not been shown on his face for a while.
Gao Yiyao just looked at the water with her hands down, and her voice did not fluctuate after speaking, "I heard it by accident when I passed outside my father's study. The man said very clearly, the matter of Fuwei Temple was personally instructed by my mother to the Xiang family to assassinate you. ”
Although the turmoil here has been calmed down by the Liu family, Xie Ning still couldn't help but skip an eyebrow when he heard this, turned his head, and looked at the person beside him inquiringly, "Not bad." But what is the truth and what does it have to do with you? ”
Xie Ning pretended to be calm on his face, but at this time, his heart was already turbulent. After all, after she entered Beijing, she lived in the Jingyang Marquis Mansion. Although she suffered a lot of cold eyes during this period, in her heart, there were still two people in the Hou Mansion who treated her well and sincerely regarded her as a relative of her juniors.
But who knows, after a turmoil in Fuwei Temple, the always loving grandmother Liu chose to defend Xiang.
She can understand the other party's intentions, but her heart is still inevitably half cold. That's why later, she moved into the Yanwu Pavilion with the maid so neatly, without hesitation, even regardless of Uncle Hou's retention.
And now, she once again learned from Gao Yiyao's mouth about Uncle Hou's attitude towards this matter.
Keep the peace.
It turned out that the other party had already found evidence of what Xiang had done, but he had not administered justice for her.
Xie Ning's heart was stagnant, and what lingered in it was full of indescribable complex thoughts.
Gao Yiyao's words came from his ears again, but he heard the other party's voice raise slightly: "I didn't mean to poke your scar, I just wanted to come here to ask you for verification." I admit that this matter is my mother's can't live with you. I apologize on her behalf. ”
I didn't expect her to say this, and after a short period of stunnedness, Xie Ning immediately pursed the corners of his mouth disdainfully, and said with a smile: "You apologize for her?" Do you know how powerful the incense was that night when your mother ordered someone? If I hadn't been vigilant that day, I am afraid you would not have seen me today. Apologize, heh, what does your mother do and what you can do. If your apology is useful, she won't target me again? ”
Gao Yiyao did not refute what Xie Ning said, but just glanced at Xie Ning expressionlessly, and said in a light tone: "In any case, the reason why she designed it for you is also because of the family affairs of the Wei State Mansion. This incident started because of me, and I naturally felt guilty. ”
Xie Ning's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but look at Gao Yiyao deeply. It seems that today, for the first time, I really know the person in front of me, and I know what is under the cold face of the other party. (To be continued.) )
PS: Is it whitewashing? In fact, the Gao sisters are not bad~
