Chapter 198: Xiao Jinwen returns

Since beating the old lady because Xiao Jinyu left the house and couldn't afford to fall ill, the Zhao family has monopolized the power, so she has not been confronted in public like this for too long.

Especially Xiao Jinxuan's words have made it very clear that she is okay to cooperate today, if she does not allow the other party to forcibly search for suspicious people in the house.

Although the Zhao family knew that what Xiao Jinxuan said was reasonable, and the accurate disclosure of the other party's whereabouts was probably really very likely to be made by someone in the house.

But when I thought of it, if Xiao Jinxuan was so searched today, then her face and majesty would be damaged, and this was what the Zhao family couldn't tolerate the most.

Thinking about when Xiao Jinxuan returned to Beijing, the reason why the Zhao family at that time did not deal with the Qian family in charge of the family, in addition to being pressed by this younger brother and sister, what she looked down on the most was that the Qian family liked to seize power, had no family affection, and was selfish.

But just half a year has passed, and now it is the Zhao family, how can it not be the Qian family of the past, sure enough, interests and power are the deadly poison that can turn a person with a pure nature into a hideous and terrible poison.

Therefore, when he saw this Zhao family, he trembled with anger, but he still stood in front of Xiao Jinxuan without retreating, and almost gritted his teeth and said:

"Jinxuan, don't go too far, this lady of the handsome mansion will never let you be so presumptuous for a day, not to mention that you have no evidence, how can you believe that there is someone in the mansion who answered the assassin, if you can't find anyone after searching, how should you explain."

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan's reasoning was reasonable, but in order to protect his face, the Zhao family knew that there were suspicious people infiltrating the mansion, so they had to stop each other and not let them search, and the Shen family couldn't help it.

looked at Xiao Jinxuan with a look of pity, her left arm tightly wrapped in gauze, immediately her face sank, she came to Zhao, looked directly at the other party and said:

"Sister-in-law, what you said is really unreasonable, since our Shuai Mansion may be infiltrated by thieves, then we should search it well, if everything is okay, we will naturally be happy, otherwise there is really a mistake, and I am afraid that my sister-in-law will not be able to bear this responsibility at that time."

Shen married into the Shuai Mansion three months after losing her husband and widowed, these more than ten years, she has always had no quarrel with the world, only quietly guarding the thoughts of her deceased husband in her heart, and this is just the rest of her life.

Even if she was fortunate enough to be found to be pregnant after her husband's death and gave birth to a son, this child, like the other sons of the Xiao family, stayed in the barracks all year round and couldn't come back a few times a year.

Therefore, since Xiao Jinxuan came, the Shen family really treated the other party as a daughter, and anyone who wanted to embarrass this niece would be like a lioness who protected her cubs, not caring about her own safety at all, and greeted her angrily.

So seeing that the Shen family, who had always had no quarrel with the world, now said such aggressive words, the Zhao family was immediately stunned, and he didn't know how to answer the other party's words.

After all, if the Shuai Mansion really mixed in with the villains, and she was not allowed to search, once it was found out that the matter was true in the future, then she would definitely have a reputation as having no way to take charge of the family, and she would have to suffer the criticism of others.

Moreover, Shen's identity is the same generation as the Zhao family, and the mother's family has a deep foundation, so when Xiao Jinxuan speaks, the Zhao family can still use the seniority to press, and now she treats the Shen family, she has no big capital at all, and it is really difficult to ride a tiger for a while.

Just when the Zhao family didn't want to lose face, and didn't know how to prevaricate the Shen family, suddenly from outside the main hall, a woman's elegant and soft voice came.

"Mother, you should do what the second aunt and cousin Jinxuan said, this assassination is even involved in His Royal Highness, and the saint will definitely investigate it thoroughly afterwards. Our Shuai Mansion will check itself first at this time, and if there is really a suspicious person, it can also be sent down first, so as to save the opportunity for others to take advantage of it and splash dirty water on our Xiao family. ”

The Zhao family knew that Xiao Jinxuan had brought people into the house, so they also brought a lot of maids and women from the back house, so now the main hall is full of people.

But when the woman's voice outside the door sounded, the people in the hall spontaneously leaned to both sides and made way for them.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a woman wearing a blue and blue lotus Luo skirt, walking in from outside the hall with a quiet gait, Xiao Jinxuan also looked up at the person who came, and recognized the identity of the other party in an instant.

And this woman is the daughter of the Zhao family, Xiao Jinwen, the eldest lady of the Shuai Mansion.

Xiao Jinxuan was invited by Concubine Liang to enter the palace and stayed for a few days, but during this period, Xiao Jinwen had returned to the Jingshi Marshal Mansion from her grandfather, and now it was the first time that the two of them met in this life.

Xiao Jinxuan was really not impressed by this lobby sister, because the other party was too quiet, and she didn't even take a step out of her own Vinland Academy all day long.

In the few times they met, Xiao Jinwen was either playing the piano or reading and painting, and in their previous lives, I am afraid that the number of times they talked would never exceed ten times.

In Xiao Jinxuan's mind, the evaluation of Xiao Jinwen is that she is extremely talented, and the other party is rich in poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. It's just proficient in everything.

However, after listening to this cousin's words, she knew that the other party was not only a talented woman, but also had a very clear mind.

Zhou Xianyu was injured, and it was expected that Emperor Ming would track him down, but because of this assassination, the real target of the assassin was Xiao Jinxuan, so even if he investigated afterwards, the Shuai Mansion was definitely a key target.

And as Xiao Jinwen said, if the Shuai Mansion does not express its position in advance for self-examination, and wait until Emperor Ming sends someone to investigate, then it may not happen, and the matter of framing will be passive at that time.

After all, the Xiao and Xue families have not been on good terms for many years, and the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty are almost the first to look at Xue Xiangma, if the official in charge of the investigation happens to be a person from the Prime Minister's Mansion, then pouring some dirty water on the Shuai Mansion is simply an inevitable thing.

In the Zhao family, she was still competing with Xiao Jinxuan just now, but she has always loved Xiao Jinwen, and she felt that this daughter's analysis was very reasonable.

"Jinxuan, since you believe that there are gangsters in the mansion, the eldest aunt will allow you to search, just tell those soldiers to be careful, if you frighten the ladies of the mansion, don't say that the aunt is the only one who asks."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan didn't take it to heart at all, when the old lady wanted to embarrass her in the past, she had to estimate her Xue Gong, and Xiao Heng behind her, she didn't dare to do anything to her.

Today's Zhao family is more than the old lady, it is not a little worse, this kind of threatening words can really calm the long-standing Xiao Jinxuan, then it is really strange.

But Xiao Jinxuan also understood in her heart that when Zhao said these words, she just wanted to save a little face in front of her subordinates, after all, she led her troops to break in today, although she wanted to use thunder means to not give the villains in the mansion a chance to escape, but in the end, she threw the face of this eldest aunt to the ground.

Therefore, the other party wanted to justify himself and pick up his face, Xiao Jinxuan thought about the past feelings, and did not want to fight for anything in words, so she immediately stood up cooperatively, and said to Zhao's Fuli with a smile:

"The eldest aunt is really magnanimous, worthy of being the eldest daughter-in-law of the Shuai Mansion, no wonder the grandmother is relieved to hand over the power of the family to you, just with this overall situation, Jinxuan is really ashamed of herself, I will let Lord Niu quickly search, as soon as the matter is over, I will immediately ask everyone to leave the Shuai Mansion, so as not to embarrass the eldest aunt."

Seeing that Xiao Jinxuan gave enough face, the anger in Zhao's heart also disappeared a lot, and he immediately nodded in response, and sat on the top spot, waiting for the result of the search.

At this time, Wen Xin, who had been away for a while, had already returned, and Xiao Jinxuan asked him to inform Niu Jing so that the other party could let go and search.

Outside the main hall, Niu Jing took more than 100 soldiers and began to investigate the subordinates in the Shuai's Mansion one by one.

It was very lively outside, but the atmosphere inside the hall was much more solemn.

The Zhao family, who had been wary of Xiao Jinxuan early on, originally planned to win over the other party, but now after this incident, she realized that her previous thoughts were too stupid.

This niece from Yangzhou, don't look gentle and peaceful on the outside, but she is simply an uncontrollable danger.

For Xiao Jinxuan for a while, Zhao's heart was full of boredom, and she was the same as the Qian family before, and even had the idea of driving the other party out of the Shuai Mansion.

Compared with Zhao's gritted teeth with hatred, Shen sat down next to Xiao Jinxuan, with tears in his eyes, holding up the other party's injured left arm in distress, and asked with pity:

"Why is your child's life so bitter, he was raised in Zhuangzi since he was a child in Yangzhou, and he didn't like the old lady when he first returned to the Shuai Mansion, and now he can live a few days of stable life, and there is still the one with a black heart, who wants to assassinate you. Listen to my aunt's words, let's go out less in the future, stay in the house, and I'll see who dares to harm you. ”

Shen Shi said while holding back tears for a long time, but she still choked up, Xiao Jinxuan was helpless for a while, so she had to repeatedly promise that she would be careful next time, coaxing this second aunt, don't cry sadly and save her body.

Just as Xiao Jinxuan and Shen were talking in a low voice, Xiao Jinwen actually stepped forward and said with a smile;

"Cousin Jinxuan, before I came back, in my mother's letters, I already knew that you had returned to Beijing, as a woman, she was able to save the people from fire and water during the snow disaster, and she became a meritorious person in our Great Zhou. Now that we're meeting for the first time, I don't want you to be so unharmonious with my mother, if there is something wrong with my mother, I hope you will think that she is an elder, and don't go to your heart. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan stood up and said with a light smile in return:

"Sister Lobby, what are you talking about, today is also Jinxuan's recklessness, I am afraid that the gangsters in the mansion will have a chance to escape, so I directly led the troops to surround the Shuai Mansion, ready to catch them off guard, but I didn't bother to say hello to the eldest aunt, I didn't think it through."

Xiao Jinxuan's temperament has always been that others respect her for a foot, and she will return the favor.

Now Xiao Jinwen is kind of words, although she is not afraid of Zhao's mother and daughter, but thinking of the kindness of the other party in her previous life, she is naturally willing to resolve today's unhappiness, so this attitude is also quite gentle.

And although Xiao Jinwen saw Xiao Jinxuan for the first time, after comparing the other party with several other cousins and sisters in her heart, she has always been quiet, and she still has a good impression of this gentle cousin.

And today, her mother Zhao really shouldn't stop her, so Xiao Jinwen, who has always understood things, immediately talked to Xiao Jinxuan for a while, and the two got along very well.

It wasn't until Niu Jing later escorted five or six people in that Xiao Jinwen stopped, knowing that there were really gangsters in the mansion, so she immediately sat back in her place and watched how Xiao Jinxuan would deal with this matter.
