Chapter 113: Jealousy

Hearing Shen Jinglun's words, He Huan suddenly understood. He solemnly called her here, not for anything else, but actually for Xie San. "Why did Uncle Shen ask that?" Her tone was stiff.

"I just don't want things to go wrong." Shen Jinglun smiled calmly, and his slender fingers caressed the wall of the white porcelain cup for a while.

He Huanzhi said, under the appearance of a smile, he was already displeased. She bowed her head and replied: "Uncle Shen, except for you, I didn't mention the matter of Qingsong Temple to anyone, and before I went down the mountain, I also told my cousin not to tell anyone." ”

Shen Jinglun raised his eyelids and looked at her, then looked down at the tea bowl again, and did not answer.

He Huan quietly raised his head, peeked at him from the corner of his eye, and couldn't help but think of Xie San's accusation against him. She hurriedly pressed her thoughts, secretly annoying that she shouldn't be suspicious, and that he shouldn't have called her over, suggesting that she should be wary of Xie San.

In a short silence, Shen Jinglun seemed to see through He Huan's thoughts, and explained to her: "Miss He, don't be too careful. I just think that although Xie Sanye is not a fast catcher, he is a person from the court after all, and sometimes, more things are better than less. ”

"Uncle Shen, I know that you have always been cautious and thoughtful in dealing with people, but Third Master Xie is not a county commander of Lu, let alone a county commander of Hu......

"I don't know why you believe in him, I still said the same thing before, you can trust Xie San, but you don't have a position to influence my thoughts."

Shen Jinglun's voice was as flat as water, as if stating an inconsequential matter, but it made the atmosphere in the room instantly cool. He Huan looked at him in surprise, now he seemed to be expressing that he didn't want her to cross paths with Xie San again.

There was silence again. Shen Jinglun advised again: "Anyway." The matter of the green pine view. I hope you'll keep your mouth shut. When the summer harvest is over, these people will naturally return to the village to farm. There was already an eviction in his tone.

He Huan felt that she and Xie San were above board, but if she wanted to marry Shen Jinglun, she couldn't let him misunderstand, she hurriedly explained: "Uncle Shen, I know that Xie Sanye is a noble man from afar in the capital, and he will return to Beijing after he finishes his own affairs, and he will never set foot in Jizhou again in this life." ”

Seeing that Shen Jinglun was just staring at himself. He Huan suddenly felt that his wording was inappropriate, and hurriedly changed his words: "What I mean, Xie Sanye is just a life-saving benefactor to me......"

"It turned out to be because of the grace of saving lives." Shen Jinglun chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

He Huan was slightly stunned. He was really angry because she and Xie San were too close? She looked at him stunned and muttered, "Third Master Xie has saved me more than once......

"Indeed, it is not an exaggeration to promise a life." As soon as the words fell, Shen Jinglun hurriedly changed his words. "I mean, even if you want to make a promise. It makes sense, you don't need to explain it to me. ”

Hearing this, He Huan was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth. Is he jealous? Or is it just because the object is Xie San? He Huan's intuition was the former, and reason told her that it should be the latter.

Shen Jinglun saw her looking at herself in astonishment, and turned her head in embarrassment.

There was another silence, and He Huan was anxious to break the deadlock and explain her relationship with Xie San, but he felt that there was no way to talk about it. Xie San jumped out of the carriage with her in his arms, that incident happened in front of everyone's eyes, even if no one mentioned it afterwards, Shen Jinglun must have known the way. She originally thought that he didn't care, after all, it was just an act of saving people in a hurry, but at this moment, she was not sure.

The corners of He Huan's mouth moved, and he pursed his lips again and lowered his head. She also knows that men and women don't kiss, but she can't rely on Xie San just because he saved her kindly. She has always felt that Shen Jinglun seems to be full of benevolence and morality, but in fact, he is not a pedantic person.

"Actually......" He Huan twisted his eyebrows and said, "That day, Xie Sanye rescued me from jumping out of the carriage, and I had to ...... it."

Shen Jinglun interrupted He Huan and narrated flatly: "Miss He, please don't misunderstand, I invited you to come, just to ask clearly, in the conversation between you and Xie Sanye in the past two days, did you accidentally mention Qingsong Temple, that's all." ”

He Huan heard him say the words "these two days" clearly and clearly, and he didn't know how to react for a while.

Shen Jinglun glanced at her and said bluntly: "Third Master Xie lives in an inn not far from the Shen family, he can see my family's every move, and similarly, I know exactly what happened in the inn." ”

He Huan's face turned red. Is Shen Jinglun accusing her of frequent contact with Xie San? He Huan's left hand tightly grasped the fingers of his right hand. She knew that Shen Jinglun had always disliked frivolous women. In the past, when she was still Lin Xiyan, he tactfully reminded her that in front of outsiders, it was enough to smile without showing her teeth. However, if it is said that he is possessive of his wife and has a strong desire to control, it is not true. At that time, he also often took her out and did not prevent her from having normal contact with other men.

He Huan instinctively wanted to explain, but he was so nervous that he couldn't speak. At the same time, she couldn't help but think of the picture of herself looking down on Xie San and talking to him face to face. The flush on her face faded, and she lowered her eyelids to her knees. She did transgress. Regardless of whether she decides to marry Shen Jinglun or not, she should keep her distance from Xie San.

Shen Jinglun picked up the teacup, peeked at He Huan through the action of drinking tea, and saw that she bowed her head and was silent, as if she had made some kind of determination, and a trace of disappointment flashed in his eyes. He took a sip of tea, and the pleasant fragrance of Longjing before the rain suddenly disappeared, leaving only a faint bitterness in his mouth.

Swallowing the warm tea, the corners of Shen Jinglun's mouth hooked up a wry smile. He put down the teacup and whispered, "Since Miss He has never mentioned the matter of Qingsong Temple to Xie Sanye, then I am relieved." If nothing else, I will send you home. ”

"Cousin-in-law......"

"Is this my cousin-in-law again?"

He Huan was stunned, only then did she realize that she was annoyed that Shen Jinglun had brought her to Cuizhuxuan for Xie San, and blurted out "Uncle Shen". Details that she didn't find herself, but Shen Jinglun noticed.

"Cousin-in-law, in fact, I just think that between you and Third Master Xie, you should make the misunderstanding clear by yourself......

"What, did he say anything to you?" Shen Jinglun stood up with a chuckle, shook his head and said, "Maybe I really shouldn't have ordered someone to invite you because of him, but I can't ask him if he knows that someone in the Qingsong Temple of the Dao is practicing martial arts, let alone who he meets with and who he eats with." ”

Even when I had lunch with Xie San, was he clear? He Huan's face flushed again. She knew that Xie San was frank and straightforward, and she just wanted to return to their father and son in a dignified manner, but she couldn't explain these things. If she just blindly emphasized, she and Xie San would be above board, and they would simply be getting darker and darker.

In fact, Shen Jinglun not only knew that Xie San invited He Huan to lunch, but he also knew that Xie San had already had lunch at that time, and he even knew that when He Huan left, Xie San kept watching from the window until the carriage completely disappeared at the end of the street.

Xie San must be asked to leave Jizhou as soon as possible. Shen Jinglun secretly made up his mind to the little green bamboo outside the window.

He Huan looked at Shen Jinglun's side face anxiously. Is he upset? From his expression, she couldn't tell his joy or anger. He Huan bit his lip lightly. At this moment, she would rather Shen Jinglun be like Xie San, accusing her loudly and clearly expressing his dissatisfaction, than now, standing alone at the window, as if she didn't exist, but he obviously cared.

"Cousin-in-law......"

"I've said what I'm going to say."

"Cousin-in-law, when Xie Sanye saved me on the street that day, he risked his life, I am indeed grateful to him, but I am only grateful."

"You don't need to explain anything to me." Shen Jinglun turned around and looked at He Huan indifferently, "As I said before, I invited you here today just for the matter of Qingsongguan, which concerns many people, even the people of the villages near Qingsongguan." As for other people's private affairs, it has nothing to do with me. In addition, I don't want to know the real reason why you rejected me at the city gate. ”

Shen Jinglun's words seemed to imply that He Huan rejected him because of Xie San. He Huan was anxious all of a sudden, stood up and took two steps towards Shen Jinglun.

Seeing that Shen Jinglun took two steps back at the same time, He Huan could only stop and said solemnly: "Cousin-in-law, whether you believe it or not, what I said about 'not being a concubine' has nothing to do with anyone, just my own thoughts." In addition, I did go to the inn two days ago to see Xie Sanye, but what we said was serious, and every time someone was waiting on the side. I know that I am a woman, and I shouldn't have shown my face, but you know the situation of my family. Before I can afford to do it, I first need to keep myself and my family alive......"

"I don't mean to accuse you, besides, those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid."

He Huan was choked by Shen Jinglun's "self-purification". Thinking about it, she is He Huan now, she doesn't need to explain to him at all, he is just her "cousin-in-law" at the moment. What's more, what right does he have to accuse her? Just the day before, he had just lost his wife, and he almost kissed his deceased wife's cousin. Although he publicly stated that he would not remarry for three years for the sake of his deceased wife, it was only a few days ago that he expressed his willingness to take her as a concubine.

Thinking of this, He Huan's brain was hot, and he blurted out: "I know that Uncle Shen is not accusing me, because you didn't accuse me for reasons, let alone accusing me of position." ”

Shen Jinglun was obviously stunned for a moment. He turned his head, narrowed his beautiful phoenix eyes slightly, and looked He Huan up and down.

He Huan didn't look at Shen Jinglun at all. She took two steps back, curtsied in the direction where he was standing, and said crisply: "Uncle Shen, I have already answered everything you want to ask, and what I want to say has already been said, then I will retire first." After that, she blessed Shen Jinglun again, raised her head and said, "By the way, you don't need to send someone to send me, I'll hire a carriage to go back." As soon as the words fell, she didn't look at Shen Jinglun's reaction, turned around and walked out. (To be continued......)
