Chapter 108: Open and Honest (1)
Seeing Xiao Jinyu's appearance of not daring to see people, the old lady on the side felt as if she was dripping blood in her uncomfortable heart.
looked at the people around with annoyance, and when everyone got along with her gaze, they all lowered their heads unconsciously, not daring to talk about right and wrong.
Obviously, the old lady's prestige in this Beijing division is indeed extremely high, and only after shocking everyone did the old lady look at Qian Yunhong from a new perspective.
"Little Hou Ye, now that Jinyu is unwell, I have to bother you to help me send her to rest, if you don't send her off in person, the old body is not at ease."
After saying this, the old lady meant something, and glanced at everyone again, and her face showed a calm and calm smile.
It stands to reason that Qian Yunhong is not from the Shuai Mansion, and whoever escorts Xiao Jinyu back will not be able to see him off as a person from other provinces.
But the old lady will arrange it like this, naturally there is her meaning in it, she just wants everyone to see, even if her baby granddaughter is now damaged in appearance, there is still a man with a noble status like Qian Yunhong, who guards and admires, which is incomparable to others.
In fact, the old lady, who is old and refined, in the half month that Xiao Jinyu's forehead was injured, Qian Yunhong found various reasons to run to the Shuai Mansion, she didn't say it, and she knew in her heart that the other party was going to Xiao Jinyu.
For this heir of the Hou Mansion, to be honest, the old lady is quite satisfied, although the other party is Huayang's stepson, but if there is a handsome mansion, there is no doubt about the succession candidate, so she has been silent, but in private she is observing this little Hou Ye.
And now Xiao Jinyu's appearance is damaged, which will inevitably have an impact on the future marriage, the old lady doesn't say it in her mouth, and she is also anxious in her heart, so taking advantage of today, Qian Yunhong has a skin-to-skin kiss in order to save Xiao Jinyu, she wants to take the opportunity to match the two together, and she has a matter on her mind.
If the old lady knew, in fact, even if she didn't make a move, she, the precious granddaughter, would have taken the first step, and she had already gotten together with Qian Yunhong, I don't know what the old lady should feel like in her heart.
And the meaning contained in the old lady's words was understood by everyone present, and Qian Yunhong naturally understood it.
Immediately overjoyed, he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Don't worry, old lady, I will send Jinyu to the guest room, take care of each other, and will not leave half a step." ”
Qian Yunhong was naturally very willing to climb the big tree of the Xiao family, so as soon as the old lady's olive branch was thrown, he didn't hesitate to catch it, and he didn't call Xiao Jinyu Miss anymore, he directly evoked his name, and his appearance as a son-in-law immediately made everyone stunned.
Just when Qian Yunhong was helping Xiao Jinyu and getting up to leave, Xiao Jinxuan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, stood up.
"Grandmother, Sister Yan is frightened now, but the eighth princess is also frightened, so I will work with the little marquis to send Sister Yan and the princess back."
Xiangping didn't want to leave with Xiao Jinyu, but before he could speak, Xiao Jinxuan held her hand, and used a slight force, Xiangping was stunned, and when it came to his mouth, he didn't say it after all, and then obediently left with a few people.
After going down the back mountain, under the guidance of Xiao Shani, Xiao Jinxuan and several people were all led to the guest room, because it was not the time to rest, and the people who were invited to come from various provinces were also outside to enjoy incense, or to enjoy it everywhere, so the courtyard used to receive pilgrims to stay was very deserted, and there was no half a figure.
Seeing Xiao Jinyu accompanied by Bao Ge, he entered his guest room, and Xiangping was also led into the room by Chi Ling under Xiao Jinxuan's arrangement, and changed into wet clothes.
In the empty courtyard for a while, there were only two people left, Xiao Jinxuan and Qian Yunhong.
There are four courtyards in Guanyin Temple, which are used to house pilgrims, and the courtyard where they are located is called Huaixiangyuan, only because there is a hundred-year-old locust tree in this courtyard, so it is named.
Xiao Jinxuan now strolled under the old tree, stretched out her hand and stroked it, on the trunk, the bark full of traces of time, stood there quietly, and did not move for a long time.
At this moment, Qian Yunhong, who was originally standing in front of Xiao Jinyu's room with a protective appearance, looked around twice, saw that there was indeed no one around, and a look of thought flashed in his eyes, and then walked over to Xiao Jinxuan
There was a slight sound of footsteps behind her, Xiao Jinxuan heard it clearly, but she didn't look back, but suddenly said lightly:
"The little marquis is not guarding by the window of my sister, it seems that I have something to say to Jinxuan, I am afraid that my sister will be angry when she sees you walking close to me."
Qian Yunhong looked at the touch in front of him, with his back to himself, a cold and gentle back, he had always suppressed too many things in his heart, and he suddenly felt a lot more stable.
"Miss Jinxuan, what are you talking about, it's clear that you are here today, what do you want to say to me, just say it."
Xiao Jinxuan has always been kind to him, Qian Yunhong still knows it, but now the other party takes the initiative to go down the mountain with them, which is an abnormal thing.
And when the eighth princess showed her reluctance, Qian Yunhong also noticed that it was Xiao Jinxuan who secretly appeased the eighth princess, and when she arrived at Huaixiang Courtyard, the other party did not accompany the princess into the house together, but stayed outside with him.
Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan finally turned around and smiled at Qian Yunhong.
"The little Hou Ye is really smart, it seems that Jin Xuan is not looking for the wrong person, and Jin Xuan wants to talk to the little Hou Ye alone, mainly because she wants to ask you, are you willing to join forces with me."
Qian Yunhong was stunned for a moment because of this, and when he reacted, a mocking look appeared on his face.
"Miss Jinxuan is too overestimating herself, I don't think there is anything that needs to join forces with you, not to mention that you and my mother have always been at odds, and my sister Yingluo's death is probably also related to you, in fact, Miss should also know in her heart that you and my Qian family have long been on the same page, why do you still say such stupid things, plain and funny."
Seeing that Qian Yunhong didn't think about it, he rejected himself, Xiao Jinxuan's face remained unchanged, and she didn't see half of her annoyance, but she just stepped forward a few steps and suddenly approached the other party.
"What the little marquis said just now is wrong, Qian Yingluo's death is not related to me, because she died in my hands at all, and I and the Qian family are not on the same page, but they will never die, if I don't collapse the Qian family, I, Xiao Jinxuan, will definitely have trouble sleeping."
If he heard that Xiao Jinxuan wanted to join forces with him before, Qian Yunhong still felt that the other party was incompetent, and it was a fantasy.
And now that he heard this, Xiao Jinxuan's remarks, if it weren't for the other party's expression was still normal, Qian Yunhong would have thought that Xiao Jinxuan had lost his mind and was crazy, so he dared to speak so loudly in front of him, the heir of the Hou Mansion, and he didn't know whether he was alive or dead.
"Miss Jinxuan, I hope you pay attention to what you say, you are just a concubine of the Xiao family from Yangzhou, although my Qian family cannot be compared with the Shuai Mansion, but it is not a person, it is said that you can be brought down, and it is simply beyond your power to threaten to bring down my Qian family."
didn't care, Qian Yunhong's already cold face, Xiao Jinxuan actually chuckled, and then raised her eyebrows and looked at the other party.
"What the little marquis said is right, Jinxuan is indeed a concubine, but you seem to have forgotten that you are not so noble as me, your biological mother is just a maidservant, and she doesn't even have a name until she dies, just a stepson of Princess Huayang, if you don't have this identity, you are actually nothing."
The biological mother's identity is lowly, not Huayang's parent, these two points are Qian Yunhong's backlash, and now he was dug out mercilessly by Xiao Jinxuan, and he was immediately angry, and reached out to choke Xiao Jinxuan's neck, looking like he was killing the other party.
Xiao Jinxuan was strangled to death, Xiumei frowned, and her face showed a painful look, but she still endured the discomfort and said calmly:
"I'm just a woman, the little marquis wants to strangle me, it's as easy as a hand, but if I die, it is Qian Yunhong who suffers the loss, as long as you are willing to join forces with me, I can help you inherit the throne, is the little marquis really not moved at all."
Looking at Xiao Jinxuan, whose eyes were still as cold as a deep pool, Qian Yunhong's sanity slowly recovered, and seeing that the other party was almost strangled to death by him, Qian Yunhong hurriedly let go of his hand and squinted at Xiao Jinxuan.
"Miss Jinxuan, I was originally the heir of the Hou Mansion, and your condition is not attractive to me at all, so no matter what idea you have, I am not interested."
Covering her neck, Xiao Jinxuan coughed lightly for a long time, and only after she was angry did she say slowly:
"Little Marquis, what you said is really against your will, as far as I know, your stepmother, Princess Huayang, is not kind to you, and now Huai'an Hou Qian Ming is in the prime of life, waiting for you to inherit the marquis, it is estimated that you will have to wait for decades, this time is not short, what will happen, it is unknown, are you so sure that the one who will inherit the throne in the future will definitely be you Qian Yunhong."
Hidden in the deepest part of my heart, fear and uneasiness were all stirred up by these few words.
If Qian Yunhong is talking about what is the biggest dream in this life, that is, to inherit the marquis and become the master of the marquis mansion in the name of righteousness, only in this way will he be completely pleased, humble background, and upright life.
And when he inherits the marquis, he doesn't have to be afraid of Huayang's threat, and even sometimes Qian Yunhong thinks that if one day the Hou Mansion is in power for him, then he must torture Huayang fiercely, and all the humiliation he has suffered since childhood will be calculated clearly with the other party.
But as Xiao Jinxuan said, all this can only be realized when he inherits the marquis, before that, it is just a fantasy, and if he does not inherit the throne, Qian Yunhong will not be stable for a day, and will be subject to Huayang.
Taking a deep breath, Qian Yunhong's eyes were dangerous, and he looked at Xiao Jinxuan.
"What you said is good, but if I join forces with you, will I be able to ensure that the position is not successful, the affairs in the Hou Mansion have always been my mother's decision, can you still influence her decision."
Seeing that Qian Yunhong's words were much looser than just now, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light, and she said in a cold tone:
"Princess Huayang hates me to the core, how can she be at my mercy, but if Huayang is gone, and before she died, the stepson admitted by her knees, if you are the only one, little marquis, do you say that your father still has a choice in inheriting the marquis?"
