Chapter 342: Surprise
When Su Nian arrived, Mrs. Xing personally greeted her at the door, with an extremely deferential and humble attitude, Su Nian is now the Duchess of the Kingdom, and she can afford it, so she put on a high posture and slowly entered the mansion surrounded by Mrs. Xing and other female relatives.
The furnishings of Xingfu are not high-profile, and most of them look very simple at a glance, but only those who are very good at these will find that the flowers in Xingfu are very elegant.
I've been on guard since I entered the mansion, and inviting myself here won't just show off how popular Mrs. Xing is, right? However, the flower-viewing banquet was carried out smoothly and locally, in the water pavilion, the women who came to sit around, and the cool breeze accompanied by the fresh fragrance of flowers had a unique taste.
Halfway through the banquet, Su Nian's dress was accidentally splashed with water and wine by the little girl, Su Nian was helpless, isn't there N tall ways to make people leave the table halfway in the novel? How come she only has a dirty skirt?! Can you still have a good time?
Mrs. Xing immediately stood up, asked repeatedly, and wanted to drag the little girl down and beat her to death, Su Nian said that it was not in the way, just go and change it, and the little girl trembled and volunteered to take her.
To Su Nian's surprise, Mrs. Xing didn't come along, didn't she want to talk to her in private? So, who is it that you want to see?
The little girl in front of her had long since lost her previous panic, calmly leading the way in front, Coral followed closely to Su Nian's side, her palms were sweaty, she thought that if someone planned to plot against Madame, the dagger hidden in her sleeve would be useful.
The three of them didn't go too far, and it was estimated that time did not allow, so they stopped in front of a small courtyard not far from the water pavilion. The little girl intimately pushed the door open for the young master and servant, and then lowered her head and stepped aside. Guarding at the gate of the courtyard.
From the open courtyard door, Su Nian saw the back of a very familiar man. She wondered if this person thought it was very stylish to face someone with his back?
The faint cold fragrance drifted to the tip of Su Nian's nose again, she pinched her palm with her fingernails, and walked in slowly and calmly.
Shao Yan heard the sound and turned his head, and when he saw that it was Su Nian, a smile rose on his feminine face, "Duchess Guo, you are here." ”
"Isn't this the surprise that Madame Xing said she was going to give me?" Su Nian stopped some distance away from him, with the same smile on his face.
Shaoyan's smile deepened, "Naturally not." Shaoyan has been waiting for Mrs. for a long time, and if Mrs. doesn't come again, I'm afraid this pot of tea will be cold. As he spoke, he reached out and picked up the teapot in front of him and filled a celadon teacup across from him.
"Thank you, it's just that I haven't drunk tea for a long time, and I'm not in that mood today, I don't know what the purpose of Shaoyan Gongzi brought me here? If I'm not mistaken, Shaoyan Gongzi and I have met in the Prime Minister's Mansion. At that time, Gongzi was still the prime minister's staff, but at this time, he appeared in the Xing family......"
Shaoyan asked Su Nian to sit down, and then said slowly: "Good birds choose trees to perch." Shaoyan is just an ordinary person, and since he is appreciated by adults, it is Shaoyan's honor. Madame need not be confused about this, please come here today. Shaoyan wanted to give his wife a big gift, and asked his wife to accept it with a smile. ”
Su Nian but smiled silently. Gift? I only have one side with him, how can I talk about gifts? So this gift, Su Nian felt that he might not necessarily like it.
Shaoyan clapped his hands, and the door of the only room in the courtyard was opened from the inside, and out of it came three people, two people to be exact, dragging a man covered in blood and almost unrecognizable.
No matter how calm Su Nian was, she was shocked when she saw the tragic situation, she pinched her palms so that her expression did not change in any way, but the coral on the side turned white in an instant, and there was no blood left.
Fortunately, although Coral was terrified, he didn't fall down, Su Nian secretly praised in his heart, he didn't look away, Coral's psychological element is several times better than Ah Lian, if Ah Lian is brought today, the little girl is estimated to be on the ground at this time.
"Childe, what do you mean?" Su Nian had a cold face, "Who is this?" I'm here for the flower feast, and there are even more childish children in my family, so I don't want to accompany you. ”
Su Nian wanted to leave after speaking, but Shaoyan immediately got up to make amends, "Madam, please stay, it is true that Shaoyan is not thoughtful, Shaoyan will make up for it," he stretched out his hand, and walked out of a person with a basin of water, the basin was full of clear water, and the person walked to the person with a bloody face with an expressionless face, and poured the water in the basin with a face.
"Ah......h There was a scream, and I saw that the man seemed to be unconscious just now, and now he was drenched in a basin of water and his whole body spasmed, and he was rolling on the ground in great pain.
"Tsk, it's just some salt added to the water, can't help it?" Shaoyan seemed disappointed, and Su Nian's face turned much whiter.
The blood stains on the man's face were washed away by the salt water, revealing his original face, Su Nian looked a little familiar, but who was he?
"Madame, do you think Shaoyan is a little ruthless?" Shaoyan raised her eyebrows, her expression was actually a little playful, Su Nian felt really crazy, she would use such a small sober word in her heart to describe the expression of a madman?
Shao Yan shook his head to himself, "Madam, you won't think like this for a while, you should know this person, Xiao Sifang, speaking of which, he still wants to call you sister-in-law." ”
Su Nian's heart was shocked, Xiao Sifang? Didn't he say that he had fled the capital? When Xiao Siquan was about to shoulder all the debts owed by the Xiao family, this person had already disappeared with his whole family, how could he appear here?
Su Nian looked at the figure who was still struggling on the ground, yes, she remembered, it was indeed Xiao Sifang, although she didn't recognize her face very well, but she could still remember it if there was a hint.
"Madame, do you know how he came back? He came back with the Liao people, and those envoys who claimed to have been entrusted by the grandfather of the Duke of Pingding to take the Duke of Pingding back to the Liao State were because of him that those people knew about the Duke of Pingding, including the things in his hands. ”
Shaoyan saw Su Nian's eyes, and smiled busily: "Madam, don't look at me like this, I just interrogated a little, Xiao Sifang said everything, he said that he and the Liao people plan to kill the Pingding Guogong after deceiving him out of the capital, and he can rightfully inherit the property of the Pingding Guogong, how can he also say that he is also a member of the Xiao family, how can he let the property of the Xiao family fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames?" ”
"As for the things in the hands of the Duke of Pingding, what he said is also vague, and it is estimated that he knows a limited amount, but the limited information is enough for us, since the things in the hands of the Duke of Pingding are so eager for the Liao people to take it for themselves, it must be very important, Mrs. Guogong, I will hand over this person to you, is this a surprise?"
Su Nian took two deep breaths, Xiao Sifang, it turned out that he revealed the matter of Xiao Ge and Mei Ruonan to the Liao people, fortunately, Xiao Ge never thought of going back with the Liao people to see, but what if he had a little plan at that time? The consequences are unimaginable!
Look at Xiao Sifang who is struggling on the ground, Su Nian has no pity at all, there is a kind of person who is completely unsympathetic, because every pain he has is due to a crime, Su Nian feels that she is sometimes quite a little white flower, but she does not plan to develop this weak potential.
"I'm tired of Shaoyan Son, but it's useless for me to bring this person back, I should ask, Childe has already said it just now, so this surprise, Su Nian can only understand it."
Shao Yan had been observing Su Nian without a trace since Xiao Sifang appeared just now, and after listening to Su Nian's words at this moment, he propped his elbows on the table with great interest, "Duchess Guo, Shao Yan really wants to know, how can you be so calm and calm?" If an ordinary woman saw this scene, she would definitely be frightened, but you were indifferent? Are you comfortable with everything? ”
Although Su Nian's face was pale, he could still laugh, "Childe has won the award, who can guarantee that he will always be calm, Su Nian naturally has times when there is chaos, but Su Nian doesn't want this situation to happen, this person in front of me really shocked me, but in addition to shock, he won't bring anything worse, right?" ”
"Tsk, I like Madame's calmness, since Madame doesn't want to bring him back to vent her anger, then it's useless for him to keep it." Shao Yan frowned slightly, pouted, stood up and picked up a long sword from the table, walked to Xiao Sifang who fell to the ground, and stabbed the sword without changing his face.
"Ah!!!h Coral finally couldn't hold on and exclaimed, Su Nian only felt dizzy in her head, and the cold fragrance floated on the tip of her nose for a long time, making her a little unable to breathe.
Shaoyan pulled out the sword again, took out a silk handkerchief from his arms to wipe off the blood stains on the sword, and threw it on Xiao Sifang's body that had not moved, Shaoyan looked down at his blood-soaked shoes, frowned and muttered a few times in disgust, I really want to take it off and replace it now.
Su Nian felt uncomfortable, the blood that flowed out of Xiao Sifang's body was still spreading outward, and the dazzling red stimulated Su Nian's eyes, she hadn't seen a dead person, she had been tortured by illness and her body functions stopped, and she had no life characteristics lying there, she had seen a lot, but this kind of scene, being killed with a sharp weapon, she lived for two lifetimes, and in her memory there was only the appearance of Master Liu Lao lying in front of her.
Extremely bad memories surfaced in Su Nian's mind, making her head dizzy for a while, and Su Nian bit the tip of her tongue to make her consciousness clearer.
"I'm a little unwell, and I've been away from the flower banquet for too long, and if I don't go back, it will arouse suspicion from others, so I'll leave." Su Nian stood up, and she could still remember the etiquette, but after she turned around, her eyes were closed tightly, and she waited for a few seconds to suppress the dizziness for a while before she could open her eyes and slowly leave with Coral.
