Chapter 106: Sprouts
Yun Kexin was embarrassed to look at a man like this, and wanted to turn her face away, but Feng Yinxiao didn't notice her embarrassment, and continued to ask: "Kexin, you said before that you wanted Your Highness to remember what you promised to help you?" β
"Oh, Cousin Yun Ke is going to participate in the martial arts, but unrelated people are not allowed to enter the palace test," Yun Kexin said that there was no restraint at this point, but complained frankly, "Brother Feng, why didn't you tell me earlier, and coaxed me to say that I could go to 'watch the battle'." β
"I didn't coax you," Feng Yinxiao couldn't help but smile, "I also participated in the invigilation of this palace exam, I can take you in." β
"Really?" Yun Kexin's eyes lit up, she was like this, as long as he didn't show emotion, he could get along naturally and unrestrainedly, "What method does Brother Feng use?" β
"Of course, when did I lie to you," Feng Yinxiao saw that she was cute, and deliberately teased her, "As for the method, I haven't figured it out yet, but I guarantee that Kexin can get her wish." β
Yun Kexin was made heartwarming and ashamed by Feng Yinxiao's warm male style like "coaxing a child", her little face was flushed and turned sideways, but before she could sit up straight, the carriage suddenly bumped, Yun Kexin was caught off guard, lost her center of gravity and fell to the side, "falling into" Feng Yinxiao's arms, and he stretched out his long arm almost without suspense to hook her in the crook of the arm, and protected her tightly, for fear that she would fall.
Both of them were taken aback, not knowing what was happening outside, until the carriage gradually stabilized, and the attendant Ma Minghao lifted the curtain and said:
"I'm sorry, Junhou, Seventh Miss, Fang Cai was an ox cart that suddenly came out and almost collided with the carriage, didn't you be scared."
"It's okay, let's get out." Feng Yinxiao commanded, "Catch the carriage in the bazaar as fast as possible." β
Ma Minghao nodded and left.
Yun Kexin breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly found that Feng Yinxiao was still hugging her, and suddenly felt confused, so her little body struggled slightly, and Feng Yinxiao hurriedly let go of her hand:
"Kexin, I didn't mean to offend you." He lowered his head and moved a little to the side, embarrassed to explainβit was not the first time he had said this, and a suspicious red crept out of his innocent and handsome face.
"It's okay, Brother Feng," Yun Kexin crossed her arms, glanced at Feng Yinxiao, and smiled indifferently, "I also want to thank you for protecting me every time." β
After that, there was silence in the carriage, and it was not until the carriage stopped that the attendants lifted the curtain and said, "The Eguo Mansion has arrived."
Feng Yinxiao sent Yun Kexin back to Xiyuan, and met Mama Feng halfway through, and told them that the third master was talking in the second room at this time, and the two of them went to find it.
In the Nanyuan hall, the second lady Yue Ziyun and Yun Tianyang were talking about Yun Ke's next moon martial arts, and a pair of children stood on her left and right sides, listening very meekly.
"Ke'er, although martial arts is very important, it is about the future and the glory of the Yun clan," Yun Tianyang said with concern, "But don't put too much pressure on yourself, the third uncle supports you, if you have any needs, just tell the third uncle." β
"Thank you, Third Uncle," Yun Ke stood beside the Yue Clan and said respectfully, "There is nothing bothering at the moment, it's just that the martial arts hall test is presided over by the Holy Lord himself, and it is my first time to participate, and the situation is unknown, so I am a little nervous." β
"Don't be afraid, the Holy Lord is a wise lord, and Wen Taowu is not under some Wenchen generals," Yun Tianyang seemed to see Yue's concerns, and smiled calmly, "And fair and strict, after several years of martial arts, our dynasty has never had a situation of favoritism and malpractice in martial arts, which can be assured." β
Yue's Jiyan: She has been worried about this problem, Yun Tianyang said this, and she was relieved.
"As long as you live up to Ke'er's hard work." Yueshi laughed.
"But Fu Yueheng, the second brother of the Fu family, that is, the current crown prince and the prince, also served as an invigilator this time," Yun Tianyang suddenly smiled, his words were full of vigilance, "The second sister-in-law and Ke'er still have to be a little prepared." β
The second lady's brows furrowed again.
"Don't worry, Ben Hou is also an invigilator," I don't know when, Feng Yinxiao and Yun Kexin appeared at the door at the same time and walked in, he took over the conversation and said, "In addition, although the Holy Lord will listen to the opinions of the generals, he will also have his own ideas, if Yun Ke is really a general, the Holy Lord will definitely not change his mind because of a few words from the crown prince and the prince." β
Yun Tianyang and Yue Ziyun, Yun Ke and Yun Yan all wanted to salute, but they were stopped by Feng Yinxiao, saying that they were not in the palace now, so they didn't need to be formal. Only then did the four of them return to their respective positions, and the Yue clan asked their subordinates to sit for Feng Yinxiao and Yun Kexin.
"Xin'er, why did you end up with Junhou, didn't you take classes in the Tongfu Mansion?" Yun Tian Yang said.
"Oh, let me say," Feng Yinxiao first asked the second lady to retreat, and watched them go away before continuing, "I promised Miss Seven to sue her as soon as the matter came to a conclusion. β
"The result?" Yun Ke was stunned for a moment and interjected.
So, Yun Kexin told the story of the last time she and the three maids were in the Grange, they met the prince and the marquis, and jointly arrested the murderer, but they were finally killed and killed. They were stunned and their hearts were pounding.
"What do you say? The murderer is Yu Mu? The second lady jumped up from her chair all of a sudden, "It's still an insider?!" Yue's face flushed, and he took a deep breath, "So whose inside line is it?" β
Feng Yinxiao simply repeated the murderer's confession, and Yueshi shook his head and waved his hand to deny without listening:
"It can't be Feng Guogong, this is slandering and framing, the old man and I have never said anything about the brocade box in front of the subordinates before his death, how could Yu Mu eavesdrop? There should be someone else who leaked it," Yue Ziyun narrowed her eyes and said word by word with a gloomy face, "Because not only the second room knows about the brocade box." β
Everyone was shocked: who else was there? Feng Yinxiao was very grateful for the second lady's trust in her father, and she was even more convinced that the friendship between the second room and the Yanguo Mansion was not ordinary, and her intuition also told him: There must be a common secret between the second master, the second lady and his father, as for what the secret is, he can't guess it now. I was worried about whether to tell the previous conversation with my parents in front of so many people, especially Aunt Zhuo actually knew about the brocade box......
"Second Lady Xie's trust in my father," Feng Yinxiao said, "Then according to what you just said, who else knows about the brocade box?!" β
Yue Ziyun pulled her lips and said with a cold smile: "The four old men of the Yun family," she was stunned, her eyes were sometimes blurred and sometimes sharp, and her voice was trembling, "A year ago, the old man was reluctant to be disobedient out of filial piety, and he mentioned it to them, but he didn't say where he was hiding, but if there was an 'inside line' in the mansion, it would be very different." Yue Ziyun turned over the placket in her hand and sneered suppressedly.
Yun Kexin also squinted: The one who leaked the brocade box was among these four people!
"Second sister-in-law, are you suspicious......" Yun Tianyang guessed in his heart, but he didn't want to expose his family's shortcomings in front of outsiders, so he hesitated to say a half-sentence.
"No, I didn't say anything," the Yue clan knew what Yun Tianyang was worried about - the men of the Yun family were like this, in order to maintain the dignity and glory on the surface, they could turn big things into small things and small things, she looked at Yun Tianyang and said, "Third brother, since the murderer has been punished, the matter of the second master is over here, don't mention it again in the future." β
Yun Ke and Yun Yan were surprised, and shouted loudly: "Mother, you ......"
Yun Kexin knows what her mother means, her father has passed away, her brother and sister are still young, and her ninth brother Yun Qi has just turned three years old.
But she felt that even if one of the four old men leaked the brocade box, it would not be possible to kill her father, and there must be a "third hand" in it......
"I won't let the second brother die so unclear," Yun Tianyang's mood was a little complicated, but at this time, he and Yun Kexin thought of going together, looked ahead, and said expressionlessly, "One day, I will definitely get to the bottom of it, and now Ke'er is still dedicated to participating in the martial arts, don't be distracted anymore." β
A thought flashed through the silent Feng Yinxiao's mind: Will Aunt Zhuo have a little bit of a "kinship" relationship with the Eguo Mansion?
After sitting for a while, Feng Yinxiao got up to say goodbye, everyone sent him to the door, and when he rode on his horse and walked a few steps away, Yun Kexin suddenly caught up with him and shouted from behind: "Junhou, please wait a minute." β
Feng Yinxiao grabbed the horse, jumped off, and said, "Kexin, what's wrong?" β
"The prince and Brother Tong asked me to go to the horse farm the day after tomorrow to learn how to ride a horse," Yun Kexin rubbed her little hands and whispered, "Do you want to go together?" β
Feng Yinxiao's heart moved, and a smile of surprise flowed in the depths of his ink eyes: As early as in Tongfu, the prince said something "agreement" to Yun Kexin's "mysterious and secret", and he wanted to ask, but seeing that she had a tight mouth and a firm hold, he thought that she was reluctant to say, maybe there was a reason for her, so he broke off the idea of asking, in fact, he really wanted to follow her, and hoped that she could have his existence in her life.
Unexpectedly, when parting, Yun Kexin took the initiative to say it, how could he not be surprised and moved.
"I'm going, I'm going," Feng Yinxiao eagerly agreed, "what time?" In which horse farm? β
"In the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, at the Chengbei Racecourse," Yun Kexin said succinctly, "Let's meet at the teahouse first, and then go together." β
"Okay, I'll be sure to report on time." Feng Yinxiao couldn't suppress her excitement and smiled, "Kexin, I'll go back and arrange things properly, so as not to stumble at that time." β
"Well, it's good that the prince can go with you......" Yun Kexin smiled slightly.
The two of them were "intimate" talking and laughing here, but Yue Ziyun, Yun Ke and Yun Yan who were standing at the door were stunned: The seventh girl and the prince seem to be very close? Yun Tianyang frowned: He just learned that his second sister-in-law was going to marry Yun Yan to Feng Yinxiao, so what should Xin'er do? She probably didn't know about it yet, so she had to tell her so that she wouldn't suffer later. R1152
