Chapter 281: Xia Huai, How Can You Compensate Me?
Out of the small building, climbed over the courtyard wall, Cen Xiyan habitually glanced at the Rui Wang's Mansion, the Rui Wang's Mansion was pitch black, there were no lights, and he couldn't feel the breath.
Cen Xiyan's figure only paused slightly, and soon left Cen Mansion and disappeared into the night.
This time, she didn't go to Qingyuan to bring Cangqing, and went directly to the Wangxia Restaurant where she met with Xia Huai.
As soon as Cen Xiyan entered the lobby of Wangxia Restaurant, Xiao Er, who had entertained them last time, greeted him and said with a smile: "Guest officer, the guest upstairs has arrived, and he is waiting for you, it is still the private room last time." ”
"Okay, I got it." Cen Xiyan smiled and nodded at the little second, and said, "Don't bother the little second brother to lead the way today, I'll just go up by myself." ”
"Then the guest officer, please." Xiao Er hurriedly gave way and made a gesture of please.
Cen Xiyan went up to the second floor, came to the door of the private room he had been here last time, and knocked lightly on the door.
The door was quickly opened, and it was not Mo Yan who came to open the door, but the door opened by Xia Huai himself.
"With the wind, you're here." Xiangli Xia Huai said hello to Cen Xiyan, his voice was a little low, and his expression was a little complicated, and he didn't have the cute and two-way demeanor of the past at all.
Cen Xiyan entered the door, and the silent words behind Xiangli Xia Huai saluted her, and then automatically and consciously went out of the private room, giving up the space to Cen Xiyan and Xiangli Xia Huai.
The two sat down at the table, and they were not in a hurry to serve the food, Cen Xiyan poured himself a cup of tea and brought it up to drink.
"It's cool." Xiangli Xia Huai couldn't help but remind.
"I just want to drink it cold." Cen Xiyan didn't care at all, and drank most of the cup.
"Suifeng, when did your taste become so strange?" Xiangli Xia Huai asked suspiciously.
"Oh, it's just been a few days." Cen Xiyan said, put down the remaining half cup of herbal tea, and then poured himself another cup.
"Then when we meet in the future, will I prepare herbal tea for you?" Xiangli Xia Huai asked.
"No, my tastes change at any time, and the next time we meet, I may not even like to drink herbal tea." After a pause, Cen Xiyan cut to the chase, "Okay, let's get down to business, what's going on with that ink knife order?" ”
When Xiangli Xia Huai heard this, his head instantly drooped, and he said apologetically: "Follow the wind, I'm sorry ......"
Cen Xiyan raised his eyebrows, did not speak, looked at Xiangli Xia Huai, and waited for him to continue.
Xiangli Xia Huai continued in a low voice: "I went back to check the box containing the token, and the sign you gave me is indeed gone......
"And then?" Cen Xiyan answered two words at the right time.
"That brand was taken by my fourth sister and given to Prince Shuo, more than three months ago, when I was in the ancestral house of the Xiangli family in Xincheng, my fourth sister was also ......" Xia Huai looked ashamed in Xiangli, and said: "It's all my bad ......"
When Cen Xiyan heard this, his eyebrows raised again, Xia Huai's fourth sister in the phase? Cen Xiyan knew that it was a sister-in-law of Xiangli Xia Huai, named Xiangli Shui'er, and his mother's maiden family was also a merchant family in Xincheng, of course, the family business was incomparable with Xiangli's family.
Xiangli Xia Huai will take Xiangli Shui'er back to her ancestral house in Xincheng together, and it is very likely that she will go to her grandfather's house to visit relatives by the way.
Cen Xiyan had seen Xiangli Shui'er once, although the girl was a concubine, she was arrogant, she stole the ink knife order and gave it to Mo Junxuan? This is interesting, is it possible, what else does she think about Mo Junxuan? Sure enough, my heart is very high......
"Your fourth sister, how did you know that you had an ink knife order? How do you know that you can do something with me with the ink knife order? Cen Xiyan asked the most critical question.
On Xia Huai's beautiful face, the color of shame became even stronger, "Yes...... It was Prince Shuo and I who drank and drank a few more glasses that day, and at that time, Prince Shuo seemed to be in a dilemma about something, and I somehow ...... So he said that Prince Shuo seemed to have asked me for the brand, as if I had refused...... For specific details, I ...... I drank a little too much at the time, I can't remember it clearly......" Xiangli Xia Huai's face was flushed with shame, raised his eyes, quickly glanced at Cen Xiyan's face, lowered his head again, and continued sneeringly: "Later...... Afterward...... Later......"
Hearing that Xia Huai "later" in the picture for a long time, and didn't come later, Cen Xiyan couldn't help but answer: "Later, Prince Shuo started from your fourth sister and got the ink knife order?" ”
Hearing this, Cen Xiyan still didn't understand anything, when Mo Junxuan was in Xincheng, he was already planning to go to Yuhuang City, but he didn't have time to participate in the Secret Treasure Conference when he took the official road, so he was worried, how to get to Yuhuang City in the shortest time, and Xiangli Xia Huai, a second-class child, drank too much, so he wrote out the matter of the ink knife order.
Mo Junxuan therefore got the idea of the ink knife order, and asked Xiangli Xia Huai for it, although Xiangli Xia Huai drank too much, but she should still remember that she told him that this ink knife order is very important, and he should keep it well, don't show it to others at will, etc., so he didn't give it to Mo Junxuan, and then Mo Junxuan started from Xiangli Shui'er, and finally got the ink knife order.
For the interests of the country, for the interests of the royal family, or in other words, for his own interests, he can use anyone who can be used, this is indeed what an ambitious prince like Mo Junxuan would do, using a woman's feelings is nothing, especially when the feelings paid by that woman may also be purposeful and not so pure, he will not have the slightest sense of guilt.
"Yes......" Xiangli Xia Huai raised his head and showed a wry smile to Cen Xiyan that was more ugly than crying.
He is absolutely ashamed of the trust that "Suifeng" has placed in him, and he is also ashamed of his fourth sister's approach, and he is ashamed of himself.
"Why did you bring this ink knife order to the ancestral house at that time?" Cen Xiyan asked again.
"The token, has been placed in my box containing important account books, with a lotus package, pressed under the box, that day I separated from you, went back to open the box, only to find that the purse was replaced with a jade pendant ......" Xiangli Xia Huai said with a wry smile.
It was this jade pendant that made him immediately know who made it, because he recognized that this was Xiangli Shui'er's thing, and his jade pendant went to question Xiangli Shui'er, his dizzy fourth sister, and even said confidently: She used a jade pendant in exchange for him for a broken wooden brand, she suffered a loss, and he took advantage! I'm so at him!
"I see." Cen Xiyan nodded, took a sip of tea, then looked at Xia Huai in Xiangli, and said: "Xia Huai, you wrote the matter of the ink knife order, and let Mo Junxuan find me, in order to pick him up, I have cut off a way to make money, you say, how should you compensate me?" ”――
