Chapter Seventy-Five: The Murderer
"That's not what Your Highness meant. Then since Mrs. Xiao thinks that this is just a robbery incident, she has to find an opportunity to tell Lord Xiao, but she can't let them get away with it so easily. ”
"This is nature-" Su Jiao nodded, and before she could finish her sentence, the carriage suddenly stopped, she stretched out her head to look outside, and the carriage had already walked to the door of Yipinxiang.
Outside, the hibiscus lifted the curtain of the door, "Madam, your lord is here too." ”
"Huh?" Su Jiao was about to get out of the car with the help of Mu Hibiscus, and when she suddenly heard her words, she was so frightened that she almost hit her head on the roof of the car.
Seeing this, Xu Ruzhu couldn't help but chuckle lightly, and helped Su Jiao's arm, "Mrs. Xiao, be careful." ”
I don't know if this scene was deliberately done by Xu Ruzhu, or if he really helped, in short, it was stabbed in the eyes, it was really an eyesore. Su Jiao's face stiffened slightly, and after getting out of the car, she quietly withdrew her hand, and saw that Xiao Huai'an had already led the horse and walked over.
Xiao Huai'an glanced at Su Jiao meaningfully, and then turned his head to look at Xu Ruzhu, "I've seen the five princes, thank you for your help, but my wife has maids by her side, and I ask the five princes to pay attention next time, don't bother so much." ”
"Huai'an, ah......" As soon as he heard Xiao Huai'an's tone, on the surface, he was warning the five princes not to do more, but in fact, he was warning himself to pay attention to the general defense of men and women.
Su Jiao was really worried that he was really angry, and reached out to pull Xiao Huai'an's sleeve before she wanted to explain, but she saw Xu Ruzhu glance at it with a smile on her face, and took the initiative to defend herself.
"Lord Xiao is serious, His Royal Highness is just a gesture, Lord Xiao and Mrs. Xiao can get married regardless of the world, can we still account for these false courtesies in this store?"
Where does this seem to be exculpation, it is clearly adding fuel to the fire, Su Jiao was angry and helpless in her heart, and almost wanted to press her forehead, but fortunately, she still endured it and did not speak.
When the words landed, Xiao Huai'an's aura became more and more wanton and resentful, and he laughed angrily, "What the fifth prince said is that Su Jiao is already the wife of the official, and the official doesn't care about her, but others should know the proportions." ”
Xu Ruzhu retracted his eyes, feeling Xiao Huai'an's obviously angry emotions, but laughed out loud very proudly. "Naturally, then Mrs. Xiao, it seems that you can't eat this light meal with His Royal Highness today, and next time I have the opportunity, My Highness will invite you back."
"The five princes are polite, the five princes go slowly." Hearing this, Su Jiao almost reacted immediately and waved her hand, making Xiao Huai'an's mood better.
Xu Ruzhu was stunned for a moment, then came back to her senses and nodded, turned over and got on the horse, "Farewell." ”
"Great, it's a good thing to go, and it just saves me money for a meal." After Xu Ruzhu's men were gone, Su Jiao stretched out in a chic manner, and pulled Xiao Huai'an to prepare a taste of incense, but pulled him back.
"I have warned you before, the only thing the fifth prince wants is to ascend to the throne, and you can't get too close to him, don't you care about it at all?"
"Of course I know, no one knows better than I do what he wants." Su Jiao spread her hands, if it weren't for her bad qualifications, Xu Ruzhu, a person who is dedicated to her career, might be better than Xu Rulie to be an emperor.
"It's really an accident with him today, but it's not an accident, do you know what happened to us just now?"
Saying that, Su Jiao pulled Xiao Huai'an upstairs and explained, "Originally, I wanted to go to the pomegranate forest to enjoy the flowers, but it happened that Her Royal Highness the princess was also there, and then we met a group of gangsters, saying that they had to arrest me, and the five princes appeared at that time to save the beauty." ”
If you narrate from other people's mouths, the word hero saves beauty is very appropriate, but from the mouth of Su Jiao, the person concerned, it can't help but have a bit of narcissism.
Xiao Huai'an paid attention to the steps under his feet, so as not to accidentally laugh out loud, so he gave her a light way to fool Fang Cai's affairs.
"The princess has always been arrogant and lively, and it is normal for her to think of it on a whim, but the fifth prince has been living in the palace, how could he suddenly run there?"
When the words landed, Su Jiao pursed her lips and glanced back at Xiao Huai'an meaningfully, "If I didn't care about the truth of the matter, hearing your words, I really thought that you would have wished I was killed." ”
Xiao Er opened the door of the private room, cleaned up the tables and stools, put the menu up, and hurried downstairs to prepare cold dishes and tea.
"This is also a strange point for me, he also swore to tell me that he wanted to reminisce about the scenery of his childhood, and this reason is really fresh and refined."
Su Jiao said that she would do it with Xiao Huai'an, and Mu Hibiscus went to open the window for ventilation. "You must know that those gangsters said that they were coming to me by name before, so it can be seen that they expected me to be here, but I didn't expect the princess to come over and hit the muzzle of the gun."
"Later, they were worried that arresting the princess would make a big deal of trouble, so they planned to let her go, and I deliberately did not tell the fifth prince these words, even if it was a little temptation for him. In the end, I suspect that he arranged it on purpose, but there is no evidence, after all, who could have guessed that I would go to the pomegranate forest? ”
"You suspect that someone deliberately led you to the pomegranate grove, but who is it?" Xiao Huai'an listened to it, and followed her words, but Su Jiao's heart trembled, and several people looked at the hibiscus in unison.
Hibiscus was busy opening all the windows in the room and checking where there was dust, when she suddenly noticed that something seemed to be wrong with the atmosphere, and when she turned around and found that so many people were all looking at her, she trembled in fright, and hurriedly waved her hand.
"My lord and lady are aware that slaves and maids can't do such things like this."
When the words landed, Xiao Huai'an turned around and said very seriously, "She is my person, I believe she will not be like this." ”
"Of course I know this, but it's not me who said there was a mole." Su Jiao looked at him, and finally pretended to be serious, and finally couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker.
"This is called being clever but being mistaken by cleverness, thinking too much for granted, and almost wronging your own people. It is not so difficult to inquire about a person's movements,"
"What's more, we decided to go to the pomegranate forest to see the flowers, as women, we naturally have to spend more effort, and such a long time in dressing up is enough for someone to ventilate and report the news."
Su Jiao finished speaking with a smug face, and then received a look of disdain from Xiao Huai'an, and Mu Hibiscus also patted her chest in fear, "Madam, you have to make it clear next time, the slave will scare you to death." ”
"Good job." Su Jiao gave her a smile, and reached out and patted Hibiscus on the shoulder.
Mu Hibiscus pursed her mouth aggrievedly and stood behind her, and pulled Mu Rong's sleeve again, "You still claim to be not afraid of heaven and earth, Mrs. scared you with a word, it can be seen that you are a thief." ”
"Go." Mu Hibiscus's face turned red, and she twisted her elbow arrogantly, and Mu Rong and Diecui laughed even more happily.
"So, the most important thing at the moment should be the purpose of the five princes," Su Jiao said as she came back to her senses and poured tea for herself and Xiao Huai'an.
"Those gangsters caught us, but they didn't mean to hurt anyone at all, but they seemed to be waiting for him to come over on purpose, so the question is, why does he have to act in such a drama, just to make me owe him a favor?"
"So you mean to say that the five princes heroically saved the United States, is it really because they belong to you?" Xiao Huai'an picked up the cup and took a sip, perhaps because he had just fainted, and he hadn't turned around yet.
Su Jiao's eyes widened in shock, and she was stunned for a moment, almost burning the heat in the cup. "I said how do you have all these messy things in your head, the so-called love at first sight is all about seeing color, although I think I look really good, but it shouldn't have been to the point where people are worried."
As she spoke, Su Jiao hurriedly put the cup back, and then the door of the private room was pushed open by Xiao Er, and the two of them held a large tray of hot dishes in their hands and carefully placed them on the table.
"The fifth prince did this, his purpose is obviously you."
The last word fell, and Xiao Er had already put all the things away, "A few guest officers, please use it slowly." ”
After the two juniors pushed out the door, the room instantly fell into an inexplicable silence.
Although Su Jiao said all serious topics, this content really made people think about it, Xiao Huai'an's face stiffened, and he raised his chopsticks inexplicably, "You are not ashamed to say yourself so unceremoniously." ”
"I call it self-aware, and Rao is already very modest when he describes it like this." Su Jiao blinked, and only then did she want to lift her chopsticks to pick up a piece of green vegetables, but Xiao Huai'an stuffed a glutinous rice ball into the bowl.
"You-" Su Jiao raised her head before she wanted to speak, but when she saw Xiao Huai'an sandwiching another chicken leg, she reluctantly swallowed her words and went back to put the bowl down.
"You eat first, listen to me sort it out for you, the five princes covet the throne, you and I both know it, he made such a fuss today, mainly to buy you, or to make me angry with you, although he is trying to be motivated, but this method makes me feel disagreeable."
"Didn't you say that it is a good way to achieve your goal, how has it changed today?" Xiao Huai'an gently hooked the corners of his lips, and finally made his words clear, he felt that it was just an ordinary meal with Su Jiao.
However, Su Jiao suddenly restrained her expression, and her face was serious, "Naturally, it should be the situation, if the people he bought today are not good people, what should I do if they really hurt me?" ”
Hearing this, Xiao Huai'an also sensed that something was wrong, stopped his chopsticks, looked at them seriously, and Su Jiao then said, "If it is the people of Daze, it is natural to listen to the words of his five princes, but what if he colludes with people from other small countries?" ”
