Chapter 105: Trust and Suspicion
"What? Master Peng is here? Xue Qi heard the news from the baby who hurriedly ran in, and got up from her seat suddenly, "I told him before I left last time... That's itβ" Xue Qi thought back, a smile coming out of her mouth. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Did Master Peng come in from the front door, or did he come in through the side door?" Xue Qi seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked.
"From the side door..."Jiao Wa Xu is running in a hurry, and he hasn't even his breath yet, "I just saw him walking this way, if he is walking through the main gate, he probably can happen to meet me..."
"That's great! Illustrate... It means that he believes us..."Xue Qi clenched her fingers and looked around excitedly, "Sister, didn't you just say that your mother told you to have something?" Is it done? β
"Oh, I'm worried!" Jiaowa pursed her lips and complained, "Last time, that Lord Wang came again, and he asked for me by name, but he wanted to come at this time, it's really annoying!" β
"Then you can go quickly, don't annoy the guests." Xueqi smiled and waved her handkerchief at Jiaowa, "Go quickly, earn more silver for those girls in the school, haha..."
"Hmph..."Jiaowa pretended to look at Xue Qi angrily, "I want to go later, I still want to see Master Peng, wait to say hello to him before I leave." β
"Oops... Sister, you go quickly, as soon as I meet Master Peng, I guess you don't want to leave..."Xue Qi said as she gently pushed Jiao Bao out the door, "You love to talk a lot here, clean bad things, if you are not here, it will be easier for me to talk to Master Peng..."
"You..."Jiaowa heard Xueqi "slander" herself like this, and hurriedly put her hand against the door frame, looking disobedient.
"Alright, alright... My sister said something wrong..."Xue Qi raised a smile with a child's expression.
"That sister asked the adults to stay here for a while, and I will play a few tunes for him there, and send him away quickly, and at most he will come back after a dance..."
"Got it..."Xue Qi saw Jiaowa turn around, hurriedly covered the door, leaned on it, and breathed a long sigh of relief, "What am I going to say to him this time?" What will he ask me..."
"Is Miss Xueqi here?" , accompanied by the crisp "tuk tuk" knock on the door, Peng Yue's familiar voice also reached Xue Qi's ears.
"In!" Xue Qi hurriedly responded, quickly turned around, gently combed the sideburns around her ears, and touched the hairpin stuck in the back, well... There was no chaos, and while thinking, Xueqi's hand also touched the doorknob.
"Master Peng..."Xue Qi opened the door, and the man with a light lace collar and a dark robe was smiling at her. Xue Qi bowed her head and bowed to Peng Yuefu, "The concubine has seen Lord Peng..."
"Where's the girl? She's not there this time? Peng Yue asked as he followed Xueqi into the room and was invited to a seat by Xueqi.
"She's out for something, and she'll be back in a while..."Xue Qi briefly cleaned up the table, "Is there anything about your lordship today?" β
"Huh? Last time, it wasn't the girl who told me when I had time, so I came over... Discuss with the girl about the funding of the school, has the girl forgotten? Peng Yue put his arm on the table, pretending to be careless.
In fact, Peng Yue came this time, naturally not simply for this one purpose. Since the last time he left Yeosu and returned home, he had been thinking about all this, and gradually, he felt that he was suspicious.
Because the attitude of the Yan father and son towards themselves is obvious, it is nothing more than co-opting and exploiting, and there is absolutely no psychology to harm themselves, at least not now. Just like the last time Yan Shifan used Jiaowa to seduce himself, one was to use this matter to get closer to him, and the other was just for the purpose of saying something from himself.
But their hatred of the Yan family and his son, they really don't know much, and they would never even think about why they hate the Yan family and father so much. Indeed, judging from what the Yan father and son are doing now, they really don't make Peng Yue hate to the point of "gnashing their teeth", it's just corruption, collecting some black money, and occasionally rectifying political enemies, these things are being done by many officials, although the Yan father and son are more powerful and powerful, but with these things alone, Peng Yue's determination to get rid of them will not be so firm. It's not because he knew what was going on, and he knew what they had done, and every thing they despised, in order to prevent these "tragedies" from happening, Peng Yue had to try his best to "turn the tide".
Thinking of this, Peng Yue expected that Yan Shifan would never have the idea of using Xue Qi and Jiaowa to "put a long line and catch a big fish", after all, the little tricks he made last time were easily seen through by himself, he is a smart person, and he will never do this kind of "stupid thing" that is useless again and again. Even if he wants to do it, Yan Song will stop him, after all, Yan Song does things and makes friends, and he also knows the truth of "showing sincerity". In this way, the problem lies with these two women, what they are trying to write, as long as they figure out their real purpose, Peng Yue will be relieved. And Peng Yue vaguely felt that these two women were like this, and most of the problem was their state of mind towards Yan Shifan. Peng Yue is confident that in this regard, he knows the true thoughts of these Qinglou women.
"Naturally, I haven't forgotten this..."Xue Qi smiled slightly, her face was also very calm, "When the adults leave in a while, you can take some silver with you, but our sisters really can't take too much, and I hope the adults won't dislike it..."
"How could I be disgusted? I admire the fact that the girl can have this kind of heart. Peng Yue lowered his head and said with a smile, but his brows furrowed inadvertently.
"He doesn't mean to leave, he must have something else to say..."Xue Qi observed Peng Yue's expression and muttered to herself.
"My lord, do you have anything else to say to the concubine?" Xue Qi pushed the food on the table to Peng Yue's side, then lowered her head slightly, met Peng Yue's gaze, and said softly, "My lord, although I said, there is no one else here, no one else... It is even more impossible to know. β
"Oh... Actually, it's nothing, it's okay for others to know..."Peng Yue pretended to smile easily, but his eyes were a little hesitant, "I remember the last time the girl told me... Lord Yan is preparing to impeach Wang Tingxiang, this matter is indeed true, Lord Yan really impeached Wang Tingxiang, just a few days ago..."
"Naturally, the concubine won't deceive adults..."Xue Qi replied softly, but her heart became happy, "He really came because of this incident, and... Since he took the initiative to bring up this matter, then he should have figured it out, right? Or maybe he should have some trust in me..."Thinking of this, a smile crept up Xueqi's face.
"I want to ask the girl... Why did you tell me about this? The smile on Peng Yue's face froze a little, and his movements froze a bit.
"Didn't the concubine say it last time, the concubine did this to make adults believe in the concubine..."Xue Qi didn't expect Peng Yue to raise this question again, and his expression made Xue Qi feel at the bottom of her heart... Slowly, a hint of worry arose.
"What do you want me to believe in you?" Peng Yue asked very carefully, and his tone was a little cautious, but he didn't know that his caution made Xue Qi feel even more awkward.
"The concubine wants to convince the adults... The concubine has absolutely no ill will towards the adult..."Xueqi's tone was a little anxious, but she had to deliberately slow down a little, "I want the adult to believe... The concubine wants to help the adults..."
"Oh? What do you want to help me? The sense of surprise in Peng Yue's heart became heavier, and the expression on his face became unnatural.
"I... If the adult wants to know something, the concubine will do her best to tell the adult... For other things, if the concubine can help, she will do her best..."Xue Qi turned her face sideways, her sorrow was fully revealed, but after a pause, she still met Peng Yue's gaze, "My lord... But don't you believe in concubines? β
"Uh... No..."Peng Yue smiled lightly, the sentence "Why should I believe you" still didn't come out after all, "I'm just a little puzzled... Why did the girl do this, or... Why should the girl help me? β
"Hmm..."Peng Yue asked, Xue Qi didn't know how to answer. Do you tell him all the thoughts of yourself and Jiaowa that day? To be honest, Peng Yue's relationship with herself is not familiar now, and Xue Qi also knows that Peng Yue is not like a regular visitor to the party, but is really a serious person, and the reserve of a daughter's family makes her a little speechless. And even if he says it, will Peng Yue want to be crooked? After all, his identity is here, will he think that he is using him? Or is it a deal with him? Xueqi didn't want Peng Yue to misunderstand like this, if Peng Yue really had such an idea and "reluctantly" believed in himself, wouldn't the hard work of himself and Jiaowa be in vain?
The more Xue Qi hesitated like this, the more suspicious Peng Yue became. Indeed, when asked this "sharp" and critical question, Xue Qi had to stay unanswered, could Peng Yue not doubt it?
"What is there to hide?"
"There's... No... No! Xue Qi raised her head and met Peng Yue's gaze again. She could see that there was doubt in Peng Yue's eyes, and she could imagine that there was doubt in Peng Yue's eyes, but she was afraid to see Peng Yue's eyes now. His eyes were very bright, good-looking, and there was an indescribable look, and Xue Qi was so afraid that she would fall into this kind of gaze and say something that should not be said...
"Cheap concubines admire adults..."Xue Qi finally said it, Peng Yue's gaze was too tight, the suspicion in his eyes became more and more obvious, Xue Qi felt that if she didn't say it, the misunderstanding would be even heavier.
"What?" Peng Yue did hear Xueqi's words clearly, but he felt that he didn't hear them clearly. To be honest, Peng Yue didn't have this kind of thought when he was thinking, but it was just a momentary idea that was vetoed by himself. Because it was just a joking idea of his own, Peng Yue didn't think it was very likely, after all, you must not be rash and sloppy in this kind of thing.
"My lord, the concubine admires you..."Xue Qi sat solemnly at this time, but her eyebrows frowned slightly, and her eyes were full of affection, "My lord, the concubine really didn't lie to you, the concubine believes that with your intelligence, you should be able to figure it out..."
"You said that if the concubine has a plan, then how much can the concubine get by working so hard? But... But if the concubine is sincere, then... How much risk a concubine should bear, presumably adults should also know..."Xue Qi said, her long eyelashes were already covered, and Peng Yue in front of her was also covered with a layer of mist.
Peng Yue was also silent at this time, because Xue Qi's words were really shocking to him. Think about it carefully at this time, if what Xue Qi said is true, then all of this can indeed make sense, but... Should I believe her admiration?
"Miss Xueqi, actually... Wang Tingxiang was impeached by Lord Yan, which is also something I expected..."Peng Yue raised his head, ready to test Xue Qi again...
