Chapter 616: Actions of the Parties
Zhao Shi heard the impatience in Old Taijun Cen's tone, and the smile on his face became unnatural, and he said forcefully: "It's not that I've come back from the Temple of Mercy, so I'll come to see you, Old Taijun." ”
Old Mrs. Cen looked at Zhao again, and asked, "I went to the incense, do you feel better?" ”
Zhao really didn't feel good, not only was it not good, but she was angry with Fan Jian, and she was scared by Cen Xiyan again, but she felt even more uncomfortable.
However, this kind of truth naturally couldn't be told to Old Taijun Cen, so she cheered up and said: "Thank you for the relationship with Old Taijun, the concubine feels much better, and the incense in the Temple of Mercy is vigorous, and it is really very effective." ”
Old Taijun Cen looked at Zhao's tired and haggard face, and didn't believe her words in his heart, but he didn't say anything more.
Cen Xiyan and Cen Xiqin accompanied Cen Taijun to talk for a while, and Cen Laotaijun also asked Cen Xiyan about the situation of today's incense, and Cen Xiyan answered them one by one.
The Zhao family on the side kept worrying about it, afraid that Cen Xiyan would say something about the back mountain, and Cen Xiyan's topic turned around in several halls close to the back mountain, but he didn't mention the matter of the back mountain, which was the case, and it also scared Zhao's heart up and down.
When Cen Xiyan spoke, he occasionally looked at Zhao with a smile and a meaningful look, Cen Lao Taijun and Cen Xiqin didn't think much about it, Zhao had a ghost in his heart, and every time he looked at Cen Xiyan's eyes, he had a feeling of shock.
Soon it was dinner time, and Mrs. Cen wanted to leave Cen Xiyan and Cen Xiqin to eat in Furong Garden, but seeing that the Zhao family had no intention of leaving, she didn't want to leave the Zhao family to eat together, and it was not good for the Zhao family to watch from the sidelines, so she waved her hand and sent them away.
When Cen Xiyan was leaving, he said to Mrs. Cen: "By the way, grandmother, in a few days, I want to go shopping on the street, my yard lacks some small things, and I want to buy a few things." ”
"Go ahead." Old Taijun Cen nodded, and asked again, "Is the silver enough?" If it's not enough, tell your mother to pay some out of your account. ”
Cen Xiyan nodded and said, "Xiyan still has some silver in his hand, it's enough, thank you grandmother." ”
When Mrs. Cen heard this, she didn't say anything more, in fact, Fang Cai's words were just kind words, during the Chinese New Year, several young masters and young ladies in the house did not have a lot of money, and she knew that Cen Xiyan had her mother's dowry shop in her hands, and she was not short of money at all.
Besides, the big and small masters in the house also have a fixed monthly money every month, and they always go to the public account to pay money, and others will inevitably have opinions.
Out of Furong Garden, Cen Xiyan noticed that Zhao's gaze at her revealed a sense of resentment, but it was fleeting, and she quickly retracted her expression, others didn't see it, Cen Xiyan had such eyesight, and she had been paying attention to Zhao's reaction, so she naturally saw it clearly.
In the evening, Cen Xiyan quietly left Cen Mansion and went to perfection, asking the moon to send someone to Jing Xinfeng and ask her to return to Cen Mansion to replace her identity.
In the afternoon of the next day, the moon reported a new situation to Cen Xiyan.
"Young master, the Zhao clan is really moving...... Moon said.
"Huh?" Cen Xiyan held the teacup, pushing the tea foam with the teacup lid, and motioned to the moon with his eyes to continue.
"The Feng mother-in-law beside the Zhao family, today on the pretext of visiting her niece, brought a package, left the Cen Mansion, and after leaving her relatives, she went to see Fan Jian, and gave Fan Jian three thousand taels of silver tickets, as well as some jewelry."
"Oh......" Cen Xiyan hooked the corners of his lips, showed a faint smile, and said, "It seems that this Zhao family has taken out all the old books......
It is not difficult to imagine that the Zhao family now has no right to be a housekeeper, and there is no way to make money from the public, so they can only use the savings in their hands, and Fan Jian asked for as much as five thousand taels of silver this time, and the Zhao family did not have so many silver tickets, so they gave Fan Jian some jewelry.
"That Fan Jian took the silver and went to pay off the gambling debts, and then went to find Zhou Fang, the third master of the blue wolf faction, and went to Baihualou to drink flower wine." Moon paused for a moment, and then continued: "If my guess is correct, in a few days, then Fan Jian is afraid that there will be some movements. ”
Cen Xiyan took a leisurely sip of tea, finally put down the teacup, and smiled slightly, "It's good to make a move, just wait for him to make a move......
"By the way, young master, there is one more thing." Moon couldn't help frowning when she said this.
"Oh? What's up? Cen Xiyan asked.
"Not only our people follow Fan Jian, but also a group of people follow Fan Jian, and they have already found out the peony in the outer room that Fan Jian raised, because the time is too short, we haven't been able to find out who the other party is." Moon said.
At first, she suspected that it was Prince Rui's person, but then she tasted it, and she didn't think it was like it, and if Prince Rui wanted to help the young master, he should inform the young master, or share the progress of the investigation, and the other party didn't seem to know that there were still people investigating the Zhao family and Fan Jian.
Cen Xiyan thought for a moment, and then said, "It may be my third uncle's person." ”
"Third Master Cen? Cen Lan? The moon's face showed a little surprise, and asked, "Third Master Cen is also investigating the affairs of the Zhao family?" ”
Cen Xiyan nodded, and then said, "Who do you think was responsible for the haunted incident in Cen Mansion?" ”
The moon's eyes widened and asked, "Could it be that Third Master Cen did it?" ”
Cen Xiyan sighed lightly and said, "Although he didn't do it himself, it was also related to him." ”
After that, when Cen Xiyan took her to Jingshuang to check the body of Wei Niangzi, she met Cen Lan, and the "ghosts" she saw when Cen Mansion was "haunted", and when she was in the Temple of Mercy, she noticed that someone was following her and other things, and told the moon about it.
The moon listened to Cen Xiyan's words, and tasted something unusual from them, Cen Lan paid so much attention to the Zhao family and investigated the Zhao family, there must be a reason why she was so hostile to the Zhao family, but it wouldn't be to avenge the dead Wei Niangzi, right? So, for whom?
The moon is a smart woman, although she has doubts, but she knows that this is a family matter of the Cen family, and without Cen Xiyan's permission, she should put away that curiosity, so she held back and didn't ask anything.
After Cen Xiyan finished talking about the matter, he hooked the corners of his lips and smiled, and said: "That's okay, I was still thinking, how to use the peony as a move, now that someone has found the peony, we just need to stay still, with my third uncle coming forward, we don't have to worry about this matter." ”
If she unravels the matter of peony, when the matter is revealed, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, and Cen Lan will solve this matter, so she doesn't have to worry so much.
