But the news brought by the pomegranate was that the Marquis of Xiling had entered Jizhou City and did not take the official road. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Shen Yifeng shook suddenly, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
"Second Young Master, did he notice something? Could he already have doubted ......" Pomegranate couldn't bear to say the following words, would the Marquis of Xiling already suspect that the person who wanted to assassinate him was Shen Yifeng?
Shen Yifeng took a deep breath, tried hard to accept this unexpected gap, and whispered to himself, "No, it's not right...... I saved Jiang Suxue, and he won't suspect me......"
Pomegranate hurriedly said: "But the second young master, the best opportunity has been missed, seeing that he went to Jiangfu to rest, he will definitely send more people to escort him back to Beijing, this time he can't be killed, how can the prince explain it?"
King Qi Nan has already issued an ultimatum to Shen Yifeng to solve the two major henchmen around the prince, but the Marquis of Xiling is extremely vigilant, and this time it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to go to Dali......
Shen Yifeng tightened his lips, the murderous aura quickly spread to his face, he gritted his teeth, and said hatefully: "How can he relieve the hatred in my heart with his life?" In the coming day, I will destroy him all over the house! ”
Pomegranate was also shocked, she had never seen the second young master so angry.
Pei Ye's carriage went directly from the forest path to the gate of Jizhou City, and after entering the city, Su Xue and Miaomeng's hearts finally relaxed. Miao Meng began to tell Su Xue about the horrific scene at that time, and how she found Pei Ye under the guidance of the guards.
"Master Hou took the guards to look for Miss everywhere, and he didn't close his eyes all night, fortunately, Miss is fine, otherwise the little one will not be able to atone for his sins even if he has ten lives!" Miaomeng said excitedly, making Su Xue laugh.
Pei Ye saw that the two of them were already talking and laughing, his eyes turned slightly, and he also asked, "This time it is indeed dangerous, but Miss Jiang can save the day." Thanks to that Shen Gongzi. ”
Su Xue heard the deep meaning in Pei Ye's words, so she took the initiative to explain: "At that time, the carriage was out of control and took me for a long distance, and then the horse broke free of the reins, and the wheel was stuck by the stone before stopping, I don't know the road in the forest, but fortunately I met the fifth aunt later." brought me back to this neighborhood. ”
She hid the truth. After all, she still has to think about her reputation.
Miao Meng listened carefully, and couldn't help but turn red again: "Poor young lady." This night must be a day of fear......"
Su Xue hurriedly grabbed her: "You can't cry in front of the Hou Ye, can't I be decent?"
Miao Meng hurriedly wiped her tears and confessed to Pei Ye.
Pei Ye pondered Su Xue's words and was silent for a while. suddenly smiled and said, "The Jiang family is so blessed to have such a fifth aunt."
Su Xue's heart sank when she heard this. Pei Ye's tone was more than just ridicule......
Miaomeng didn't hear the sound, and said in passing: "Yes, this time it's thanks to the fifth aunt!"
"The concubine born to Shen Guoliang, the Marquis of Yuping, who was implicated in Concubine Shen's competition for favor and was cut down, Shen Yifeng read poetry and books. is good at riding and shooting, and can also be described as both civil and military. He won the championship at the horse racing festival in one fell swoop, and there is even a piece of paper. denounced the Meizhou prefect for bending the law for personal gain, and talked freely about the law strategy for disaster relief and peace of mind...... "Pei Ye listed the Shen family's family history and Shen Yifeng's deeds in one breath like a few family treasures. Suddenly, he stopped, looked at Su Xue, and continued, "The fifth aunt you are talking about, but this one?" ”
Miao Meng was dumbfounded.
It turned out that Hou Ye knew about the fifth aunt, so why did he look like he hadn't heard of Shen Ergongzi before? also recognized the fifth aunt as a guard......
Su Xue had already seen that Pei Ye was deliberately sarcastic about Shen Yifeng before, but now that he said this, Su Xue was calm.
"There is no second Shen Erzi in Beijing, what Hou Ye said is the fifth aunt. It's just that the actions of the second son of Shen are far more than these, if the Hou Ye is inquired about, he will definitely be even more impressed. Su Xue's tone was slightly cold, but there was a faint smile on her face.
Miaomeng on the side was sweating in his palms when he heard it, thinking why was the young lady confused? Hou Ye inquired about this, didn't he know that Shen Ergongzi had a marriage contract with Miss?
What's the matter?
"Now that Miss Jiang has spoken, presumably this second son Shen is indeed a pillar, and he can't be buried in vain." Pei Ye smiled meaningfully, but there was no joy or anger in his eyes.
Su Xue just smiled and didn't say anything more.
She said that she was suggesting that Pei Ye should be careful of Shen Yifeng, as long as Pei Ye was willing to follow this clue to investigate, he could find out that the assassination of the prince and this assassination were related to Shen Yifeng.
As for whether Pei Ye can understand her code words, it depends on Pei Ye.
Seeing that the carriage had already passed through the south street of Jizhou City, two more long streets would be able to see the Jiang family's mansion. Su Xue pursed her lips, looked at Pei Ye again, and said, "Master Hou, Su Xue has a reluctant request."
Pei Ye's eyes lit up slightly: "Miss Jiang, but it's okay to say it."
Su Xue lowered her head and took off the robe on her body, handed it back to Pei Ye, and asked Miaomeng to take out her own clothes and put them on: "Su Xue has been in danger in the mountains several times, and my father is already worried about Su Xue's trip, so I hope that Master Hou will ...... Don't mention the danger in the mountains and forests this time, I hope that the Hou Ye will think about Su Xue's reputation, and don't mention the rescue of the fifth aunt in the forest. ”
When Pei Ye heard the last sentence, a trace of displeasure flashed in her eyes, she didn't say it, she said it, she cared in her heart.
Does she really care?
Pei Ye pondered for a while, gathered a hesitant expression, and said, "It's not difficult for me to agree, for the sake of fairness, then Miss Jiang also has to promise me one thing."
Su Xue raised her eyelids, why is this Pei Ziyu getting better and better......
Su Xue didn't speak, but he was positive, and directly acquiesced to her.
"Then Miss Jiang promised me that I would never see the fifth aunt again from now on, and persuaded Master Jiang not to see him again." He just looked at Su Xue like that, smiling like stars.
Su Xue thought that he was going to say something embarrassing, but he didn't expect it to be like this, and couldn't help laughing: "It's really the dignified Marquis of Xiling, who actually said such mean things, and he is not afraid of people's jokes?"
Pei Ye had already humiliated and mocked Shen Yifeng again and again, and at this moment, he bluntly wanted to instigate people to squeeze him, which sounded shallow and stupid at first glance, but in fact, he had deep thoughts.
And Su Xue didn't have a trace of annoyance after hearing this, but still joked with him, which shows that she doesn't care very much about Shen Yifeng himself.
Pei Ye was suddenly in a good mood, and shook his head again: "Miss Jiang doesn't know, I've always been mean, and this is quite tolerant."
Since Su Xue didn't really care about Shen Yifeng, then what she asked him to inquire about Shen Yifeng just now also had a deep meaning, and then recalled that they were assassinated, and Shen Yifeng happened to appear in the mountains and forests in a strong suit......
Indeed, this is forgiving.
"Since it is rare for Hou Ye to be tolerant, how can Su Xue refuse? But then again, Hou Ye also doesn't know something......"
She paused, looked at Pei Ye and continued: "Su Xue has never been kind to the fifth aunt."
As soon as these words fell, the carriage stopped at the gate of Jiangfu.
After a moment of silence, Pei Ye smiled and got out of the carriage.
Because someone had already returned to Jiangfu to report, the old lady, the second master and the second wife were already waiting in the front hall.
The old lady was very enthusiastic about Pei Ye, and the second master simply greeted Pei Ye and invited Pei Ye to the upper seat, and sent a maid to bring melons, fruits and tea.
The second wife's eyes were sharp, and she saw that Su Xue's clothes were stained, and she didn't dare to lecture in front of the Hou Ye immediately, so she smiled and said: "I was still worried about it before, my three girls are wild personalities, and they will definitely play crazy when they go out, and sure enough, they came back after playing with mud, and taught the Hou Ye to laugh!"
Pei Ye glanced back at Su Xue and said with a smile: "It is inevitable to go out of the far door, Miss Jiang is not informal, Pei is also relaxed, and he is comfortable all the way, not so restrained."
"Traveling, I want to be relaxed, but it's because of Sister Xue'er's temperament, I want to change someone, and I won't suffocate Master Hou!" The old lady also joked. This Hou Ye protects Sister Xue every word, and he does not hide his affection when his eyes come and go, and it seems that he is really satisfied with Sister Xue.
Pei Ye was a distinguished guest and was left in the front hall to eat tea, while Su Xue had to go to the backyard room to wash and change clothes.
The second wife was very eager at this time, and hurriedly called Qin's mother to send Su Xue back to the room to take care of it.
In front of everyone, Su Xue was not easy to refuse, so she saluted the old lady and the second lady in turn, and went back to the room.
Su Xue knew that the second wife wanted Qin's mother to come to her to find out, so she just told Miaomeng to bathe and change her clothes for her, and she didn't say much, Qin's mother was on the side, so she had no choice but to help.
The old lady was babbling about Su Xue's childhood in the front hall, which was classified as naughty and nonsense in the past, but it was not so annoying to talk about it at the moment, Pei Ye listened quietly with a smile on his face.
The second master naturally didn't want the old lady to keep talking about Su Xue to Hou Ye, so he said something else on the side. When they talked about the court, the old lady and the second lady avoided it.
I had been chatting in the front hall for two hours, and the old lady sent someone to deliver food, so Pei Ye got up to ask for his resignation. On the way, a small servant came to report to Pei Ye, saying that the men and horses sent by the master to escort him were waiting at the gate of Jizhou, and asked the eldest young master to return to Beijing as soon as possible, I am afraid that there is something important to discuss.
It was Yi Guogong who was urging, and the old lady didn't dare to stay longer, and the second master personally sent Pei Ye out of Jizhou City, and they talked happily along the way.
The second master returned to the house again, and before he stepped into Rongde Hall, he was invited by Mother Hu to the old lady's courtyard.
"What do you think?" The old lady didn't say anything more, and asked directly.
The second old man pondered for a while, and said: "The Marquis of Xiling treats people frankly and humbly, although he is young, he is a little steady. It's just that Suxue is here......"
"You've said that, so what's so bad?" The old lady immediately rejoiced, "I see that the Marquis of Xiling cares about Sister Xue very much, and before leaving, he specially left a set of beaded hairpin headdresses to send the maid to me, the meaning of this is still unclear?" ”
If men and women look at each other, the man does not look at the woman, so he leaves the colored silk, and if he sees it, he leaves the hairpin. Before, the second lady was ashamed and angry because Chen Gongzi left a piece of colored silk, and this Xiling Marquis invited Su Xue to travel in front and took the initiative to leave the hairpin behind, which means that just wait for the Jiang family to nod and come to the door to propose marriage.
