Chapter 837 Uninvited
Xiao Chumo returned, Yu Panxi finally no longer took on everything alone, and learned that in just a few days, so many things had happened inside and outside the Xiao Mansion, Xiao Chumo couldn't take a break, so he sent people to put the list up and down Ningguo, and spent a lot of money to find strange people and people to repair the dragon soul with all their might, but even so, Douding's situation still showed no signs of improvement.
"If Dou Ding is hidden in the Xiao Mansion due to the damage to the dragon soul, then who is the person who is now in charge of the overall situation in the palace and sets the questions for the imperial examination?" Ah Ye wondered.
Faced with Ah Ye's incomprehension, Yu Panxi smiled slightly and was not ready to answer, but his eyes were full of mystery.
Sure enough, Ah Ye quickly searched the entire Xiao Mansion, but still failed to find any trace of Xuanli, the worry and uneasiness in his voice were obvious, and he asked, "What about Xuanli?" In order to save his master from the nightmare torture, the dragon soul in Douding's body was damaged, could it be that Xuanli was also seriously injured? ”
Ah Ye seems to be very impatient with Xuanli's entanglement, but this is just a superficial illusion, in fact, after Xuanli suddenly disappeared, Ah Ye was more anxious than anyone else, even if Yu Panxi had ordered the kitchen to make his favorite sweet and sour fish, this dish was not tempting in Ah Ye's eyes, just blindly asking Xuanli's whereabouts.
Seeing his impatient appearance, Yu Panxi and Xiao Chumo glanced at each other, and the two smiled understandingly, and then Yu Panxi spoke: "Didn't you ask me before, if Douding was hidden by me in Xiao Mansion to recuperate, who is the person in the palace who looks like him and has passed the imperial examination?" ”
"Now the person in the palace is pretending to be Douding, could it be Xuanli?" Under Yu Panxi's hint, Ah Ye's eyes widened in surprise, with a look of disbelief, obviously, in his opinion, Xuanli is like a little girl who has not yet grown up, how can she bear the burden of the king of a country, and face the entanglement of civil and military officials every day, and deal with all kinds of tricky government affairs?
Seeing that Dou Ding finally guessed, Yu Panxi smiled and nodded, and continued: "This time it's just thanks to Miss Xuanli's help, if it weren't for the disguise spell she knew, she disguised herself as Dou Ding and stayed in the palace to temporarily appease the people's opinions, I'm afraid that the whole country would cause unnecessary panic and disturbance because of Dou Ding's body." ”
Yu Panxi's words are all heartfelt words, thinking that Xuan Li is not related to them, but for the sake of Ah Ye's face, he helped again and again, but Ah Ye has always been very repulsive to her because of the conclusion of the contract, feeling the bitterness in Xuan Xuan, Xiao Chumo, who has never been willing to say much about Ah Ye and Xuan Li's relationship between men and women, couldn't help but say:
"Presumably you are not ruthless to Miss Xuanli, she is a rare good woman, you don't want to be cheap and behaved, after this matter is successfully resolved, the two of you will go back to Lingcun together, let the patriarch be the master, prepare for the wedding, don't let her down again!"
Yu Panxi and Xiao Chumo had the same opinion, Ah Ye instinctively wanted to refuse, but after looking at the tacit understanding of the two eyes, he swallowed what he wanted to say back into his stomach, and he didn't reject the marriage contract with Xuanli very much, I don't know if he was persuaded by them? Or seeing that Xuanli has made a lot of contributions this time, he can't help but change his mind a little?
Just when the Xiao family was sitting together for a long time to eat, a familiar girl came from outside the gate: "Don't live up to this kind of thing when you meet a good woman, Xiao Chumo, you can only teach others, why do you pretend to turn a blind eye when you meet yourself?" ”
Following the prestige, I saw Ren Zhiyu, who followed them all the way to Kyoto, was standing at the door with an arrogant sneer, the cold night breeze blew her cheeks, blowing up a few strands of her hair, and she was afraid that she could not choose a few beautiful faces in Kyoto, at this time she was staring at Xiao Chumo intently, as if she was complaining that he pushed her to the old housekeeper before complaining, and then turned cold and turned away.
However, Yu Panxi didn't know the strange face that suddenly appeared in front of her, seeing that her eyes were always fixed on Xiao Chumo and refused to leave, she asked: "Chu Mo, do you know the young lady outside the door?" Why would she call you by your name and say such inexplicable things to you? ”
"She is Ren Zhiyu, the daughter of the Ren family who fought side by side with us when she besieged Ye Wanmei before, because of some unfortunate reasons, I had to keep her in the army, I just thought that she would go back to Renfu after the incident, but I never thought that she would follow us to Kyoto, Panxi, if you don't believe me, even if you ask Ah Ye for verification."
After that, Xiao Chumo looked at Ah Ye, who was silent with his arms folded after Ren Zhiyu appeared, looking ready to watch a good show.
Staring at Xiao Chumo's face that couldn't wait to explain, for some reason, Yu Panxi vaguely felt that he seemed to be a little flustered at this moment, which was very different from his usual calm and calm face, she knew that the relationship between the beautiful woman who suddenly appeared outside the door and Xiao Chumo was not just a comrade-in-arms who had fought side by side!
Thinking of this, she smiled indifferently, stood up calmly, and said to the maid: "Since everyone who comes is a guest, then you can go and invite the girl in." ”
"Yes." The maid complied, trotted outside the door and was about to invite Ren Zhiyu in, but she didn't think that the other party just glanced at her arrogantly, and then walked into the Xiao Mansion with her feet up, as if she was not an outsider, and came to Yu Panxi in three steps and two steps.
Due to the distance between the two just now, Ren Zhiyu didn't see Yu Panxi's appearance too clearly, but now after seeing it up close, Ren Zhiyu began to panic a little in her heart, just because Yu Panxi's facial features are exquisite, but her smile is generous and gentle, just like the rumors, even if Ren Zhiyu deliberately dressed up to come here, she was unknowingly stolen the limelight by Yu Panxi.
Seeing her frowning, Yu Panxi smiled and said: "It's just that when Chu Mo came back, he didn't immediately inform me of Miss Ren's merit in besieging Ye Wanmei this time, otherwise, if I knew that the girl had also come to Kyoto, I would definitely send someone to the inn to invite you over for dinner, after all, you helped Chu Mo before, and his comrades-in-arms are also my friends." ”
Yu Panxi not only looks captivating, but even speaks and behaves generously, even if Ren Zhiyu doesn't want to admit it, but in this regard, she doesn't seem to have the qualifications to compare with it at all, but then she adjusted her inferiority complex, smiled proudly, raised her eyebrows and replied:
"Although my Ren family can't be compared with your Xiao family, but my Ren Zhiyu's requirements for making friends have always been high, even if I know that Mrs. Xiao is polite, but I still have to remind you, sometimes it's better not to be overconfident and complacent, not everyone is willing to accept your politeness, for example, I don't like this kind of hypocrisy."
"Miss Ren, please speak with more dignity!" Seeing Ren Zhiyu's bad attitude towards Yu Panxi, Xiao Chumo immediately became displeased, slammed the table, stood up and warned Ren Zhiyu, this move was too sudden, and everyone present was startled!
