Chapter 169: Finding the Portrait
"You go quickly, don't grind!"
Xue Yuexin strode in front, turning her head to look at the maid behind her from time to time.
"I don't know if Xie Cheng's side is over."
Xue Yuexin took the maid and walked in the direction of the study, and the fast pace made the maid trot behind.
As soon as the words fell, I saw Xie Zhiheng and Xie Cheng walking out of the study, the two were still talking, their mouths did not stop, and their expressions were still a little serious.
Xue Yuexin suddenly slowed down, pretending to be wandering around the mansion, and looked at the surrounding scenery from time to time.
"Uncle, Brother Xie Cheng, are you done talking?" Xue Yuexin stepped forward and bowed slightly to Xie Zhiheng.
A smile appeared on Xie Zhiheng's wrinkled face, no longer serious, but a little more cordial.
"Xin'er, it turns out that you are here, but I didn't see you when I came out, so I kept you waiting for a long time."
"Uncle, you're polite, Xin'er walked around the house."
"That's good, I've waited so long for you alone, and the meal is ready, let's go together."
Xie Zhiheng was talking with Xue Yuexin as he walked, and Xie Cheng stood on the side, his face not very good-looking.
After a while, the three of them sat down at the table, and the people were busy bringing up a dozen dishes and filling the table.
"Xin'er, this is all made by the chef in the house, I don't know if it suits your appetite, you can taste it, but it definitely can't be compared with the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace."
Xie Zhiheng moved all the meals he thought were delicious in front of Xue Yuexin, and looked at her with the eyes of an old father looking at his daughter-in-law.
Xue Yuexin took a pair of chopsticks, chewed them, and then raised her head, "Uncle, your cook is really good, it tastes very good, Xin'er will come to eat with her uncle next time." ”
Xie Zhiheng laughed out loud after listening to Xue Yuexin's words.
"You girl, you can really talk, this meal is definitely not as good as the palace, you eat more delicacies from the mountains and seas, so I think the homely meal is delicious."
At the dinner table, Xie Zhiheng and Xue Yuexin exchanged pleasantries, but Xie Cheng didn't say a few words.
He didn't want to see Xue Yuexin now, but now that she appeared at home again, the two had no topic to talk about, and they were strangers.
In the afternoon, the sun is shining brightly, and the clouds are blowing in the breeze, revealing a fiery red and dazzling sun.
Jiang Yin and Hua Yan were rushing on the road, without stopping, and their hearts were uneasy.
Thinking that Jiang Yang still didn't know where he was, he was still being hunted down...... And my heart was furious.
"Yin'er, we don't have a clue now, how to find his whereabouts when we go back?" Hua Yan drove the carriage and looked straight ahead, and asked suspiciously.
Jiang Yin poked his head out of the carriage and got next to Hua Yan.
"Hua Yan, our power in the Zhou State is still too thin, I thought about it, only by going to someone to help can we find him faster."
Hua Yan tilted her head sideways and looked at Jiang Yin, "Looking for someone to help?" Is it possible to ask for someone like this, is it going to him? ”
"As the crown prince, Bian Qing naturally has his own power and can help us, but it is probably inappropriate to go to him for such a trivial matter."
Hua Yan nodded, "Then the one who can help us in Zhou Guo is Xie Cheng." ”
"He'll help us." Jiang Yin said confidently.
She knew that Xie Cheng had helped her so many times, and she also knew what he thought about herself, and she also had feelings for him, if she asked him for help, she would be a suitable person.
In the Prime Minister's mansion, Xue Yuexin was left by Xie Zhiheng to eat, and then sat down for a while.
Her gaze glanced over Xie Cheng's face from time to time, but Xie Cheng didn't look at her, and Xue Yuexin was more disappointed and jealous in her heart.
"Uncle, Xin'er still has something to do, so I'll leave first, and come back another day, thank you uncle for your hospitality."
Xue Yuexin politely said goodbye to Xie Zhiheng and walked outside the Prime Minister's Mansion with the maid.
Before she had gone far, she saw Jiang Yin and Hua Yan also coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion, so she stopped.
"Yin Jiang, are you also looking for Xie Cheng? He's just had lunch with me, and he's in the back garden, and if you go by now, you might be able to see them again. ”
Xue Yuexin looked arrogant, her gaze swept over Jiang Yin's face, she didn't want to look at her more, she hated that face very much.
Jiang Yin's heart was very uncomfortable, after she ran outside, Xie Cheng and Xue Yuexin ate together in the mansion.
"Thank you, princess, for reminding us, we'll go now!"
She glanced at Xue Yuexin, and then left in a hurry with Hua Yan.
The two seem to be competing, neither of them admits defeat, and no one looks down on anyone.
Hua Yan saw that Jiang Yin's face had changed, and asked weakly.
"Yin'er, are we going to the back garden to find Xie Cheng?"
Jiang Yin's voice was very loud, and he was a little angry in his heart, like a vinegar jar had been overturned.
"Go, why don't you go!"
She strode forward, and at this time, it happened that Xie Zhiheng and Xie Cheng finished talking about things, and they also walked towards her, and the two passed by.
Xie Zhiheng glanced at Jiang Yin and was silent.
And Jiang Yin didn't look at Xie Zhiheng, her anger was still in her stomach, but she smelled a familiar smell, but she couldn't remember where she smelled it for a while.
She glanced up at Hua Yan, there was no change in the expression on his face, Hua Yan didn't seem to smell the smell just now.
"Am I worrying too much?" Jiang Yin muttered to himself, shook his head, and walked forward.
She hadn't walked a few steps before Xie Cheng saw her, her face full of excitement, which was completely different from the face she had when she saw Xue Yuexin.
"Yin'er, why are you here?" Xie Cheng's tone was soft and full of smiles.
Jiang Yin told Xie Cheng about the past few days, and at the same time told him about Jiang Yang's being hunted down.
"Yin'er, don't worry, I still have some discoveries here, you come with me."
Xie Cheng thought for a moment, and then took Jiang Yin and Hua Yan to another room, which was the room that Xue Yuexin had just entered, and there were paintings brought back from Jiang Yang.
Jiang Yin looked at the scroll that Xie Cheng took out, very puzzled, and at the same time a little uneasy.
"What is this?"
"This is where my subordinates found Jiang Yang, the portrait is a woman, you will know when you open it."
Jiang Yin took the painting, she and Hua Yan glanced at each other, and slowly opened the painting.
When she saw the painting, the shock on her face flashed, and sure enough, the portrait was her, but fortunately, the portrait did not fall into the hands of others, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Xie Cheng watched Jiang Yin stare at the painting for a long time, and he had some doubts in his heart.
"Yin'er, do you know the person on this portrait?"
"I don't know, I've never seen it." A moment of horror flashed on Jiang Yin's face, then he recovered and said lightly.
She knew that Xie Cheng would be suspicious, although this portrait was different from her current appearance, but if she looked closely, Shen Yun still had some resemblance.
However, Xie Cheng didn't ask too much, he never asked too much for Jiang Yin, he chose to believe her unconditionally, which made Jiang Yin's heart very moved.
