Princess Zhenzhen couldn't help but take a step back.

It is not unheard of for her to be questioned face-to-face about whether she wants to harm her, and there are not a few who have even experienced it. The girl on the other side was not even as hysterical as the people she had met before, but there was a hint of aggressiveness in such a non-humble and non-arrogant attitude.

When she came back to her senses and faced this girl, she took a step back, and a trace of anger flashed in Princess Zhenzhen's eyes, she snorted coldly, shook her hand and walked out.

This time, the girl holding the "Ru I Personally Presence" waist card did not stop her again, but just quietly watched her leave.

After Princess Zhenzhen left, the girl turned around and thanked Xie Chengze.

"You don't have to thank me," Xie Chengze said and sat down on the footstool beside the bed, and then said, "If something happens to you in Xie's house, I don't know how to explain to Xie Zhi." ”

The girl snorted and squatted down again.

"Isn't it uncomfortable for you to squat like this?" Xie Chengze suddenly got up, pushed the footstool to her side, and sat down at the end of the bed.

The girl thanked her again, sat down on the footstool, and looked at him: this master of his, here, and it seemed that she was here to steal the books!

"Three more, right?" Xie Chengze didn't wait for her to ask, so he took out two volumes from the stack of books she had flipped through and put them in his hand and flipped them up, and then turned them over and said, "You keep reading, there shouldn't be any real princesses coming over this time." ”

Belch...... Such a cooperation really makes Qiao Ran, who boasts of being not thin-skinned, a little embarrassed, of course, even more so that Xie Chengze's kindness can not be brushed off, Qiao Ran looked down.

The books and papers in the room rustled, and the girls looked down attentively and seriously.

Xie Chengze, who was sitting at the end of the bed opposite, looked up at her at this time, and after looking at it for a while, he frowned, and then looked down again.

When the three volumes were finished, it was almost time, Qiao Ran hurriedly got up, put the footstool back to its original position, and said to Xie Chengze: "The hour is almost up, I should go back to Dali Temple." ”

The lunch break of Dali Temple is only in time, and now it is time to rush over and be afraid that it will be a quarter or two late. Zhen Shiyuan is still very active in the matter of punishing him, even if she has a good relationship with this Shangfeng, it is useless.

The big thing can not be delayed, Qiao Ran "returns to the heart like an arrow".

However, Xie Chengze, who has been very cooperative since he entered the door today, did not cooperate again this time, and in the face of her "euphemistic resignation", he just put down the book in his hand, looked up at her, and said, "Miss Qiao, since you have finished reading your book, Xie has always wanted to ask you something." ”

Qiao Ran was stunned and puzzled: "What's the matter?" "Is there anything about her that Xie Chengze should ask?

Xie Chengze looked at her and said, "Do you have an opinion about Xie?" ”

Qiao Ran instinctively shook her head.

Xie Chengze looked at her and shook his head, and then continued: "Since the Que Lou case, you seem to have always suspected Xie more than anything else. ”

My actions are still too obvious! Qiao Ran was silent for a while, and only after a while did he say: "I know that everyone has a secret, you are Zhang Jie's friend, and you are my colleague in Dali Temple, yes, I hope to prove that you are innocent." If there is anything wrong with me before, it is not mine. The girl took a step back and saluted him.

"That's it!" Xie Chengze said "um" to her before he said lightly: "It's a good thing to be wary of people, but Miss Qiao, the person you should be more vigilant about this time is not me." ”

Qiao Ran looked at him, was silent, and didn't immediately ask him who he should be wary of, but said loudly: "There is something I also want to ask Master Xie." ”

Xie Chengze glanced back at her: "You don't have to call me Master Xie in private. ”

Qiao Ranhu looked at him suspiciously, and said: "This is exactly what I want to ask you, Xu Hexiu said that you corrected his wording, and after I entered Dali Temple, he asked him not to call me Miss Qiao, but to call me Lord Qiao, why didn't you change this title?" ”

She actually doesn't care if others call her Miss Qiao or Master Qiao, most of the people she has known since Jinling before are used to calling her Miss Qiao, such as Tang Zhongyuan, now it seems that only Xu Hexiu has changed his words, and it doesn't seem like it's good to bully him alone!

Of course, this is not a big deal, just a trivial matter, Xie Chengze paused, then automatically skipped this question, and then continued with the previous topic: "Do you know why this real princess came so coincidentally today?" ”

Which day does not come to the Xie family, it is better to come to the Xie family, the Xie family is so large and small that the yard is too big and small to count, she does not go to other courtyards, but only comes to the courtyard of Xie Chengze, who is rarely visited and is not used to guarding outside. It's okay to come to Xie Chengze's yard. You can come all day today, but when Xie Chengze, Xu Heyuan and Pei Qingqing are not there, all coincidences can't be coincidental.

That's why before, Qiao Ran asked this question in front of the real princess. It's as if the real princess specially received the news and came to find her. When you think of her specially stuffed nails, it's hard not to wonder if she did it on purpose, in order to ruin her appearance or kill her altogether.

Princess Zhenzhen was obviously unwilling to confess this internal response, but at this time, Xie Chengze brought up this stubble again.

Qiao Ran was stunned and asked Xie Chengze: "You know? ”

Xie Chengze said: "You will come to me today, except for Xu Hexiu, who else knows?" ”

Qiao Ran was silent: "...... Miss Xu Shi. ”

Xie Chengze glanced at her and said, "Such a simple reasoning, for you, should not be reduced to the point of asking me." ”

Qiao Ran was silent, and after a long while, she said, "But Miss Xu Shi, she doesn't look like such a person." ”

"How long have you known her?" Xie Chengze asked Qiao Ran rhetorically, with a little more sarcasm in his eyes than Fang Cai, "How long have you known me and won't doubt me?" ”

Qiao Ran didn't speak: because she really didn't know how to refute it.

Because everyone is a girl? Apparently impossible. Even if the things she met such as Hongdou and Pei Qingqing were cute and would not harm her, even if they were still cute now, weren't the mother and daughter of Second Mrs. Fang cleaned up by her back then?

There is never a distinction between men and women, young and old, and even those who become more and more weak on the surface, and the means are often more unexpected and ruthless.

"It's not a matter of trusting or distrusting, doubting or not doubting her." Qiao Ran thought for a moment and said, "But I don't think there seems to be a conflict of interest between me and Miss Xu Shi." ”

Murdering a person is at risk of being exposed, not to mention that it was her who murdered, Qiao Ran privately thought that Miss Xu Shi, who had even written out a notebook, would not fail to understand the risk of setting up a situation to harm her. Taking such a risk, but having no profit to gain, seems to be a bit irrational.

"Who says there is no conflict of interest?" Xie Chengze sneered lightly, asked her rhetorically, and then talked about Miss Xu Shi, "She is an extremely sensitive and intelligent woman, and she has a lot of worries, especially when it comes to emotional matters." ”

Emotional matters? Qiao Ran's eyebrows furrowed, and she asked a question that was so ridiculous that she couldn't believe it: "What do you mean?" Could it be that Miss Xu Shi doesn't like you, it's Zhang Jie? ”

When the girl said this, her hand involuntarily covered her chest, as if she was completely frightened by this speculation.

Xie Chengze's face stiffened for a moment, and after a pause, he said with a dark face: "There is not only Zhang Xie in this world. ”

Qiao Ran let out an "oh" and spread her hands: "Since what she likes is not Zhang Jie, what does it have to do with me?" ”

Xie Chengze's face was gloomy, but he didn't look at her, and only continued: "Once a smart person recognizes a possibility, it is difficult to change it. ”

Qiao Ran tilted her head and looked at Xie Chengze for a while before she said, "Master Xie, you can say it directly, you don't have to be so tactful." She barely understood what he meant.

Xie Chengze meant that Miss Xu Shi thought that her existence might affect her relationship with Xie Chengze.

This guess is a little more frightening than what Miss Xu Shi likes, not Xie Chengze, but Zhang Jie.

"I haven't spoken to Master Xie and you a few times, but I have talked to Xu Hexiu a lot more, how can she not misunderstand me and Xu Hexiu and think that I am with you?" Qiao Ran was a little puzzled.

In terms of appearance, Xu and slender are not bad, how come they don't even have the chance to be misunderstood?

Xie Chengze was silent and said, "I don't know." ”

It's hard to convince people if you don't know! Qiao Ran shook her head secretly and said to Xie Chengze: "You don't know, how do you know that Miss Xu Shi thinks so?" And what happened today was she planning? ”

"Intuition." After Xie Chengze closed his eyes, he spoke again, "I've known her for many years, and Princess Zhenzhen came here so coincidentally today, there is no other possibility besides her." ”

This reason was irrefutable, and Qiao Ran fell silent again.

At this moment, a small servant walked in from outside the door and reported: "Miss Xu Shi is awake." ”

Miss Xu Shi woke up? If you wake up, you must have fainted before, but didn't Xu Heyuan go to get medicine for heart palpitations? Qiao Ran looked at Xie Chengze: He didn't guard Miss Xu Shi, who had fainted, and ran here to look through the books with her?

Xie Chengze nodded at the little guy, and only after the little guy retreated, did he explain lightly: "Her heart palpitations are quite serious, and she deliberately hid the medicine in the gap of the tea cup before, and she didn't drink it immediately, so she fainted." Pei Qingqing, who has a stomachache in this matter, also saw it, and you can ask her when you go back. ”

Qiao Ran was slightly stunned, looked at Xie Chengze with a faint expression, and after a pause, she couldn't help but ask the previous question: "She fainted with heart palpitations, don't you accompany her?" ”

It's my fiancée!

Xie Chengze said: "I asked people to ask for a doctor." ”

Qiao Ran: "......"

For Miss Xu Shi's previous affectionate actions, it seems that only those men in Chang'an City who are envious are moved, and these people do not seem to include Xie Chengze.

However, for the affairs of the two of them, it is really not something that she can be mixed with as an outsider, not to mention that it is not impossible for Xie Chengze to say that Miss Xu Shi deliberately revealed her whereabouts to Princess Zhenzhen.

In this way, Xie Chengze specially pointed out this matter for her, which can really be regarded as "righteous annihilation". Qiao Ran thought about it and followed Xie Chengze into the house.

Miss Xu Shi had already gotten up at this time, probably because she had heart palpitations, her face was a little pale, and she was drinking medicine wrapped in a heavy fox fur, Pei Qingqing, who was originally grabbing peach cakes on the side, saw her coming, and hurriedly jumped off the chair and ran towards Qiao Ran, and then made an obvious unbearable look at her, and then shouted loudly: "Miss Qiao, you are here!" ”

Qiao Ran was amused by her actions, nodded at her, comforted Pei Qingqing, and then looked at Miss Xu Shi, who was pale on the side, and asked, "Miss Xu Shi, how are you?" ”

"I'm fine." Miss Xu Shi finished drinking the decoction, smiled at her, and then got up and said, "I'll send you back!" ”

Qiao Ran nodded, took Pei Qingqing's hand, turned her head to say hello to Xie Chengze, and followed Miss Xu Shi away.

When he stepped out of the gate of the Xie family and faced Miss Xu Shi, who was a little pale, Qiao Ran stopped following and said, "Miss Xu Shi, if you are unwell, you should go back and rest first!" I and Qingqing will find another carriage to go back to Dali Temple. ”

The Xu family and Dali Temple are not in the same direction, if you really want Miss Xu Shi to send it, it will take a long detour, and Miss Xu Shi's pale face looks like Qiao Ran is also a little scared and worried that something will happen to her.

Of course, this is only one of them, and more importantly, Xie Chengze reminded her before, she is still wary of a person who is suspected of deliberately attracting Princess Zhenzhen and wants to harm her by the hand of Princess Zhenzhen.

Miss Xu Shi covered her hands on her chest, as if she was indeed a little uncomfortable, so she didn't insist after listening to her words. It's just that before getting into the carriage, he couldn't help but turn around and say to Qiao Ran: "Miss Qiao, I have something to say to you." ”

Pei Qingqing on the side blinked her eyes and looked at Qiao Ran seriously.

Qiao Ran touched Pei Qingqing's group, Pei Qingqing pouted knowingly, and walked aside.

When there was no one nearby, Miss Xu Shi stepped forward to approach her, and then whispered: "Miss Qiao, my maid said that she saw the figure of Princess Zhenzhen's maidservant, is she here?" ”

Actually took the initiative to mention it? Qiao Ran didn't hesitate, smiled, nodded yes, and then reached out to cover her cheek, not hiding the scene that happened before: "Princess Zhenzhen seems to want to harm me by means of punishment, but I avoided it." ”

Hearing that she had escaped, Miss Xu Shi breathed a sigh of relief and said "It's okay", and then looked at her, her eyes hesitant, as if she meant something.

Qiao Ran understood her hesitation very "intimately", and asked her with a smile: "Miss Xu Shi, but what do you want to say to me?" ”

Miss Xu Shi hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but say to her: "Miss Qiao, Princess Zhenzhen came by such a coincidence, don't you think it's suspicious?" ”

This is the second person to say this to her today, Qiao Ran's eyes flashed slightly: How did this fierce and vicious princess seem to have become a knife in the hands of others just to win her trust?

However, although he thought so, Qiao Ran didn't show any emotion on his face, just nodded seriously and asked Miss Xu Shi: "I also feel suspicious, but I don't know who told the real princess." ”

"It's Chengze." Miss Xu Shi smiled bitterly, her already pale face became more and more pale as paper, "Otherwise, why would she be able to enter the Xie family?" is the princess's honor, and the Xie family is not a place where she can break in casually. ”

Oh? Qiao Ran's eyes became brighter and brighter.

"Moreover, I have seen Princess Zhenzhen in the courtyard of Chengze before, so Chengze and Princess Zhenzhen are old acquaintances." Miss Xu Shi said.

This is so big that there are not a few people in Chang'an City who know this real princess, and those who can be called "old knowledge" can be counted on one hand.
