Chapter 175: Muddy Waters

Although anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiao Wan's family affair between Xie Shuning and Yan Lin is afraid that he will not be happy, as long as this matter is not spread out for a day and made it clear, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be unexpected when it comes time to count.

No matter what, now Xie Yuanmao is still worried at home, and his future future will not be clear for a while.

In case he gets the chance to rise to the top, it is also very possible for Xiao Wan to grit his teeth and marry Xie Yuanmao's eldest daughter for Yan Lin in order to compete with Yan Huai's relatives in the British Mansion.

After Ji Xiang finished speaking, he added in a low voice: "This family business comes from the mouth of the grandfather of the country, the Xie family is really more serious, and the second son is difficult to rely on."

Yan Huai looked at him with a strange expression, "Is the Xie family more serious?" ”

"If Sixth Master Xie can't get up, then the third room of the Xie family can only survive in the long room for the rest of his life, and his daughter is the eldest son, what can he be counted for?" Ji Xiang quickly explained, "After this village, there will be no such shop, the second son of the Chengguo Mansion is matched with his daughter, it is also really high, how could he miss the opportunity in vain?" ”

"That's right...... too."

With a calloused fingertip gently caressing the scabbard beside him, Yan Huai frowned.

Ji Xiang said: "Your top priority is how to deal with Madame." ”

The lady in his words naturally refers to Xiao Wan, who has recently become a widow.

When Yan Huai was young, he always felt that Xiao Wan's was similar to his deceased mother, but his temper seemed to be better, so he liked her very much. When his biological mother Da Wan died, he was only two years old, but vaguely, he vaguely remembered the appearance of his biological mother.

The nurse Zhang, more than once, avoided his gaze when he asked about his biological mother. Mouthful, only inconsequential gossip.

From this, he can know that the indifference of his biological mother to him in his memory is true.

Da Wan's doesn't like his son very much.

She had a difficult birth when she gave birth to him, and Yan Huai knew it, so she didn't like herself, and he could understand. She had shed so much blood to change his life, and he was very grateful.

But he couldn't get the motherly feelings he wanted from his biological mother. The missing mother's love, he found in his stepmother.

He was a little bit and regarded Xiao Wan as a real mother.

But when his father died and he stepped into the gate of the Guogong Mansion in embarrassment, Xiao Wan's mask was a little unbearable.

He thought of that day, Xiao Wan's clothes were wearing filial piety clothes. When the hairpin white flower saw him, her face changed in shock. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly. The chill overflowed.

"Yan Lin is still a child, and she is so well protected that she doesn't understand anything at all. She couldn't count on Yan Lin, but she couldn't take care of him carelessly, so it was difficult for her to let go, so she was restrained. Wan Jia will not watch her do anything. She had to be more careful in her movements. The corners of Yan Lin's eyes and eyebrows gradually revealed a bit of awe-inspiring, accompanied by the young man's crisp voice blooming quietly in the night, "But things can't be delayed, so drag it on." If I attack the knight, she will have no way. So I'm afraid that it won't be long before she jumps off the wall. ”

Jixiang stared at him, "You already have a plan?" ”

Yan Huai's gaze fell on him and shook his head, "No." ”

"......" Ji Xiang stammered, his face was red, and after a while, he held back a sentence, "Are you just going to wait for Madame to make a move?" ”

Yan Huai narrowed his eyes, gradually suppressed his coldness, and changed his casual tone and said, "Didn't my father ask you to protect me?" ”

This is true.

Jixiang was choked, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and said for a long time: "You were sent out of Beijing by Grandpa Guo, except for Grandpa Guo and two henchmen, no one knows where you are, but even so, Madame still used Grandpa Guo's power to find you and almost succeeded, her means are unguardable!" ”

How good Xiao Wan was to Yan Huai in the eyes of everyone at the beginning, in fact, how tired he was in his bones, and now his intentions are so sinister.

Of course, Yan Huai didn't understand this until this time.

He didn't reply to the auspicious words, but only thought back and forth in his heart, if one day he tore his face and met each other on the bright side, would he be able to shoot his stepmother ruthlessly.

Senior Brother Seven has never said anything wrong, his heart is not hard enough.

He suddenly became less interested, and asked Ji Xiang instead: "There is no news from Wanjia yet?" ”

When Jixiang heard Wan Jia, he couldn't help but show a deep face, and said, "Not yet." ”

"Something isn't right." Yan Huai frowned.

He personally wrote a letter for people to send to his grandmother, Mrs. Wan Lao, but a few days passed, and there was no response to the letter.

When he first returned to Beijing, his foundation was weak, and he couldn't stand firm at all, and this mansion was full of people and eyeliner from Xiao Wan's family, so he could only go to Wanjia for help. With the support of my grandfather's family, the current dilemma can be solved. But the situation at the moment is not very good.

Was his half-brother the first to get the support of his grandfather's family, or because he hadn't been in Beijing for many years, his grandmother forgot about him, the grandson who was originally on the tip of his heart?

Either way, it's not a good thing.

Thinking of all the possibilities, he seemed to have drunk a bowl of cold water in the cold winter, and even his spinal cord was cold.

"Wait two more days, if there is no news coming out, I will personally go to Wanjia." There was a hint of hesitation in the voice of the young Qingyue, his eldest uncle Wan Jidao has always been at odds with his father, and he has never eased up for many years, and he is also light, but it is good to Yan Lin.

He once asked his grandmother why his uncle didn't like him, but his grandmother only said that it was because his uncle had a deeper relationship with his stepmother, so he inevitably treated Yanlin better.

But at the same time, the sister of the same mother, why is his relationship with his biological mother not as good as that of his stepmother?

Thinking about it at the moment, it is full of mysteries.

Outside the house, it was raining heavily, and it was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers, and the sound of raindrops falling echoed in my ears.

After Ji Xiang withdrew, the room was quiet again.

Yan Huai thought of his younger brother Yan Lin.

His right hand rested on the scabbard, and it seemed that he was about to pull out the cold and glossy hidden blade in it at any moment.

The worst-case scenario is just to kill Yan Lin.

It's just killing, why wouldn't he dare?

The answer has long been clear.

He closed his eyes, but he never fell asleep.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the sky over Kyoto, which had been washed away by heavy rain for a long time, finally cleared.

The imperial city has returned to its former solemn and dignified color under the light of the sky, and the blue glazed tiles are shining. The beast carvings squatting on the corners of the eaves are as if they are alive.

Today is the birthday of Princess Kiki Sakura.

Early in the morning, there were guests who had received an invitation and came to the imperial city in a carriage.

The wide Suzaku Avenue in the south city is almost blocked, and it is very lively.

But there was no smile on the birthday star's face. Early in the morning, she came to look for Xie Shuning, and saw that Xie Shuning had woken up and had a fever, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

She helped Xie Shuning tuck the quilt with her own hands, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she wanted to speak very much. But considering that the room was full of people, some words could only be held back. But she was in front of Xie Shuning again, and she couldn't hold back her words, she couldn't say it, she only felt that her face was red.

Xie Shuning noticed. Gently tugged on her sleeve, and whispered in a hoarse voice: "How did I come back yesterday?" ”

All she remembers is holding an umbrella. After going around in the pouring rain for half a day, I didn't find my way back to Yong'an Palace. Then I started to feel dizzy.

Before she fainted, she seemed to have met several people.

After sleeping all night, I was a little confused, and I didn't think about it for a while.

When Ji Tongying heard her ask, she said, "It's the prince of Chengguo." ”

Xie Shuning glared, "Why is he?" ”

That's it. She was a little impressed.

The face of that teenager......

"It's also a shame that he met you, otherwise you would be afraid and faint!" Ji Tongying shook her head, scared.

Xie Shuning was thinking that everyone knew that Yan Huai had saved her. This favor is owed. She didn't want to have anything to do with the Yan family at all, but in this way, even if she didn't want to, there was no way. She was thinking in her heart that she should buy something and send it to the Chengguo Mansion in order to repay the favor.

Now the Chengguo Mansion is still in mourning, and it is difficult to give gifts.

She sighed almost inaudibly.

Ji Tongying didn't know what she was thinking, seeing that her face was slightly different, she finally couldn't help but lower her voice, and whispered in a whisper that only the two of them could hear: "Yesterday's incident, how should I ...... it?"

"What did you say, didn't you stay in your room and take a nap yesterday?" Xie Shuning interrupted her suddenly.

Ji Tongying looked stunned, and stumbled and said, "You, are you confused?" ”

Xie Shuning sat up in a camel-yellow twig pattern flower collared right jacket, reached out and pressed heavily on the back of her hand, repeating: "You didn't go anywhere yesterday, I was the only one who was greedy for fun, and I went out in the rain." ”

"Aman......" Ji Tongying was stunned, a little unable to come back to his senses.

Xie Shuning smiled weakly, "The princess is a year older, how can her memory be poor." ”

Ji Tongying finally understood her intentions, and her heart was mixed.

That incident was so shocking.

They shouldn't have seen it.

Even if you see it, you can only treat it as if you don't see it, this is the best way.

Ji Tongying looked at the person who was younger than herself on the bed, and secretly sighed that in some things, she was not as good as her.

The two didn't say a few words, and Xie Shuning urged her to hurry up and wash and change clothes.

Xie Shuning couldn't go today, and as soon as Ji Tongying left, she stared at her fingers and became worried.

The incident they saw in Izumo Hall must not let anyone know, but she was not sure if Ji Tongying could really keep the secret. After all, Emperor Su Fang has always been her beloved father in her heart, and now that she has seen his ugliest side, Ji Tongying, as a daughter, must be difficult to calm down.

She had been in a state of anxiety all day.

Fortunately, the evening banquet was dispersed, and Ji Tongying came back with a smile on her face.

She took medicine and invited a doctor to take a look, and her body was also well.

Ji Tongying asked people to come over with a birthday gift, and wanted to take a look at it with her.

A few pieces were dismantled, and a few pieces of exquisite jewelry were dismantled, and the style was rare.

Ji Tongying was overjoyed when she saw it, so she asked the palace maid on the side, "Who gave this here?" ”

The palace maid looked at the gift list and replied to her with a smile: "It was given by Concubine Shu, I heard that the concubine Niangniang personally drew the pattern and asked Si Zhensi to make it." ”

Ji Tongying's face changed suddenly, and she hurriedly threw things to the ground. (To be continued......)
