Chapter 22: Hidden Murder

The shadow of the acacia tree in the garden shone obliquely on Shen Jiahe's body, her figure was half hiding in the shadows, half was illuminated by the palace lights, and the wine glass held by Pei Yuan unconsciously poured out.

Sensing his gaffe, Pei Yuan immediately put down his wine glass and took a few steps forward with the palace lamp, and only reminded in a low voice: "Be careful of your step." ”

Shen Jiahe looked at him with a smile: "I'm not a delicate lady of the family. ”

Both of them had tested each other, and Pei Yuan also knew that Shen Jiahe was not the kind of embroidery lady in the boudoir, but subconsciously he still regarded her as a little girl, afraid that she would bump into her.

The two sat down opposite each other in the pavilion, Shen Jiahe picked up the wine glass, and said with a smile: "I didn't have a good drink last time, but this time I just made up for it." ”

As soon as the words fell, she suddenly remembered that she had been in the middle of the acacre last time, and then couldn't help but have that deep kiss again, and her cheeks burned for a while, and she could only raise her glass and drink to hide the embarrassment.

Pei Yuan saw Shen Jiahe put down the cup, and saw that she stretched out her hand and wanted to pour it again, so he hurriedly put away the wine jug: "It's cold at night, I'll call someone to warm this wine." ”

Shen Jiahe got up and snatched the wine jug down, and filled himself again: "Rice wine is good to drink warm, and this kind of wine will change its flavor when it is warm." ”

She raised her glass, raised her head and drank it directly, and put the cup back on the table before continuing: "It's okay, it's hot in the stomach, this wine tastes good, a fruity aroma, no spicy and pungent wine smell." ”

Pei Yuan nodded: "It's the lychee wine that Pei Hao brought back from the south last summer, I heard that it is a specialty there, I think it is too light, but it is appropriate to drink two glasses before going to bed." ”

Pei Hao is Pei Yuan's younger brother, Shen Jiahe already knew when he understood the environment, he had met at the polo club at the beginning, but the other party's eyes were really strange when he looked at him, and he didn't communicate much at the moment.

The wine tastes sweet, much better than modern red wine, Shen Jiahe used to have a good amount of wine, and once put down three elite men during a mission, which will drink this fruit wine is even more like drinking water.

But how did she know that her alcohol did not follow the soul through, and when she felt that her head was heavy and her cheeks were hot, she was suddenly shocked, and thought that she had been unfortunate again.

When Pei Yuan in front of her became two, and two became four, her body did not become as hot as last time, but became colder and colder the more she sitted, and she realized that she was drunk.

originally said that he wanted to have a good drink with others, but he got drunk first, and Shen Jiahe only had time to sigh, so he fell down on the table in a groggy state.

Pei Yuan reluctantly called the little servant to hold the lamp in front, and he picked up the person horizontally and sent it all the way back to the yard.

Her breathing was light and even, she didn't get drunk and make trouble, her face was drunk and red, like a ripe peach, Pei Yuan couldn't help but possess it when he looked at it, and lowered his head and touched it lightly on that touch of red.

The slightly cool lips in the night touched Shen Jiahe's hot cheeks, making her snort softly and comfortably, Pei Yuan only felt numb and itchy in his heart, and wanted to explore a little more, but finally clenched his fists and held back.

He slowly put the person on the bed, took off her shoes and socks, covered the quilt, and looked at it in a daze for a long time before leaving with confidence.

When Shen Jiahe woke up, it was almost noon, and she poked her face hard, but all she could remember was last night's lychee wine, and she couldn't think of anything else.

Her pink and gold cloud-toed boots were neatly placed under the bed, and she was by no means drunk enough to put them on her own.

The little maid outside the door heard the movement, so she came in with toiletries, and Shen Jiahe frowned: "Why don't you wake me up." ”

The little maid blessed her body and replied respectfully: "It was the prince who ordered the slaves and maids not to wake up the girl yesterday." ”

Shen Jiahe also wanted to inquire about who served him to sleep last night, but before he could speak, Pei Yuan walked in from outside the door.

The father-in-law Fu who followed behind him held a tea tray in his hand, and a small white porcelain bowl on it was still steaming.

"Decanting soup, drink a little first, and then we'll go to the front hall for dinner." Pei Yuan beckoned her to sit down at the table, and then tested the temperature of the bowl with the back of his hand before handing it to Shen Jiahe's hand.

After Shen Jiahe finished using it, he wiped his mouth with a handkerchief before shaking his head and said, "I still have to rush to King Kang's Mansion, and I didn't go back early in the morning, so they should be in a hurry." ”

"I've already asked people to deliver a message to your two maids, I think the two of them are also smart and capable, and if there is something urgent, they will come to you." Pei Yuan summoned the maid to collect the things, and he had already stood up to go to the front hall.

In this way, Shen Jiahe no longer refused, followed Pei Yuan to finish lunch in the front hall, and then he personally sent him back.

With Cheng Feifei in mind, Shen Jiahe didn't delay after he went back, and went directly to Qinxiangju to find Pei Shu.

Shen Jiahe didn't plan to do this with Qin Xiaoshuang behind her back, and told Pei Shu in front of her, and she didn't have to do any more small actions behind her back.

Qin Xiaoshuang saw Shen Jiahe coming, and his heart suddenly chuckled, and he hurriedly got up to greet Shen Jiahe, Shen Jiahe only waved his hand and sat down opposite Pei Shu, and took the initiative to say, "I'll ask you for someone." ”

Pei Shu was a little curious: "The girls in your courtyard are not enough?" ”

Shen Jiahe shook his head and said: "The Cheng Feifei next to you, the girl of the Yao family has taken a fancy to her, and I have promised Miss Yao that I will give this maid to her." ”

Qin Xiaoshuang was stunned, she never believed Shen Jiahe's words, thinking that Fei Fei was not very diligent when she came to her in the past two days, she had already guessed whether Shen Jiahe had caught some tricks.

couldn't help but speak immediately: "The princess doesn't know that Cheng Feifei has long been sent by the prince to serve the concubine, she is diligent in her hands and feet, and the concubine has always been very happy." ”

Shen Jiahe raised his eyes and looked at her, and said with a smile: "She lives in the broken garden west of the laundry room every day, and the maids in my courtyard see her doing nothing every time, so the girl of the Yao family opened her mouth, and I immediately responded." ”

Qin Xiaoshuang's face turned pale, glanced at Pei Shu, and only said in a snort: "After all, she is the one who has served the prince, and the concubine can't bear to let her work too hard, so she didn't arrange too much work for her." ”

Shen Jiahe didn't wait for Pei Shu to speak, and said: "Then it's nothing, anyway, there aren't many places you really use, so let's give it to King Kang's Mansion to do favors, if the maid is not enough, I will divide the two of you in my yard." ”

Qin Xiaoshuang's face froze, and Pei Shu on the side had already spoken: "Then do as you say." ”

Shen Jiahe got up and looked at Qin Xiaoshuang: "Then it's troublesome for my sister to bring the deed of sale of this maid, the maid sent out by King Kang's Mansion can't still be sold in her own hands." ”

Bi Tao glanced at Qin Xiaoshuang, and when she saw that she nodded, she turned around and went to the inner room to get the deed of sale.

After Shen Jiahe checked the deed of sale, he took the maid back, Pei Shu saw that Qin Xiaoshuang was in a bad mood, so he said loudly: "This matter is all for your sake, Cheng Feifei was originally your maid, and now she is sent to the Yao Mansion, and the Yao family will always remember this gesture." ”

Qin Xiaoshuang didn't agree at all: "That's what I said, but it was the princess's sister who came forward, and even if the Yao family girl wanted to thank her, she would only thank the princess's sister." ”

Pei Shu sighed: "She won't thank you, but if you detain someone and don't give it, she will definitely blame you, as long as the princess says a deed of sale on you, won't people associate it?" ”

Qin Xiaoshuang's face turned a little paler, and the good people who dared to love let Shen Jiahe do it, if there was a bad one, the bad people would be themselves. But she will never let Shen Jiahe use her own people to do favors, if she really lets Cheng Feifei out of the gate of King Kang's mansion, maybe she will miss the princess and bite herself back in the future.

She knows a lot of things about herself, and now it seems that Shen Jiahe doesn't know about her spying on her, but if she says a thing or two, her position in this mansion is in jeopardy.

Pei Shu stayed in Qinxiang to eat as usual, and after dinner, Pei Shu was going to take Qin Xiaoshuang to eliminate food, but Qin Xiaoshuang blushed, and his voice was as low as a mosquito: "Lord, the concubine is not feeling well today, she just wants to lie down and rest, do you want to let Father-in-law Lu accompany you for a walk." ”

Qin Xiaoshuang knew that he had said this, and he would not return to Qin Xiangju after Pei Shu finished walking, so he called Bi Tao with confidence: "What you asked you to do yesterday, how is it?" ”

"They are all good players, more than enough to deal with a woman." Bi Tao replied in a low voice.

"Is it reliable?" Qin Xiaoshuang was a little worried.

"Don't worry, Master Qin," Bi Tao looked outside, then turned her head and said: "It's all organized outside, and there will be no problem if you specialize in this kind of thing." ”

"The prince usually goes to bed at the end of the day, you tell him to go down, and then after the time of tea, he will do it again."

Xu Xiang was a little puzzled by Ling Feng's order to let them protect a maid, not to mention that they had been guarding around this courtyard for two days, and there was no movement, such an ordinary maid, Xu Xiang couldn't imagine that anyone would come to deal with her.

Xu Xiang, the head of the guard sent by Pei Yuan, was still holding a dog's tail grass on the courtyard wall and thought to himself, but in an instant, he looked at the dark dark place, and his eyes lit up.

He knocked the stone on the wall a few times, and saw that all the figures in the darkness were not moving, and then he pulled the corners of his mouth and lay down again.

A few little thieves, you really don't have to do it yourself, the subtle footsteps moved again, Xu Xiang's ears moved, and he could hear the sound of the blade opening the latch of the door, and he muttered in his heart that the little thief still has some skills.

The man in black leaned in with his front feet, and the people under Xu Xiang's hands also followed with his hind feet, and the person walking at the back deliberately made a little noise, so he kicked down the tea table by the door, which not only made all the men in black in front turn around, but also woke up Cheng Feifei who was in a dream.

She opened her eyes wide and looked at the few black-clothed people beside the bed, and a scream was blocked in her throat because she was too scared, and she couldn't help shaking her body, forgetting to get up and run out.

The other party didn't expect that there were people around an ordinary maid to protect her, but thinking about the task at hand, he just stabbed at Cheng Feifei with a sword.

Xu Xiang came in slowly, took a candlestick by the window, saw it and threw it forward, just smashed it on the wrist of the man in black, his sword lost its accuracy, and a sword was given on the pillow.

Xu Xiang's people began to fight with the man in black, and Xu Xiang took the time to step forward and grab Cheng Feifei: "What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and follow me!" ”

Cheng Feifei looked at the people who were entangled together blankly, shook off Xu Xiang's hand and said: "It's not a death to go out, it's a death sooner or later, it's better to die here." ”
