Chapter 225: Sitting up in a dream
"Mother-in-law is fine, in fact, I and Yang Hou have already said the same, it's not too early now, I won't bother to say goodbye first, what do you have to say, Master Hou, let's talk about it tomorrow."
"It's okay, go back and see Jiao'er earlier. Although this child is usually very aggressive, in fact, her mind is also very meticulous, although you are open-minded, but you have to have no doubts in her heart. ”
Yang Ruopei nodded, and the deep meaning of what she said was the most important thing for husband and wife to get along, perhaps because of the unfriendly experience with Master Su, which made her see it so clearly.
Xiao Huai moved with peace of mind, and after greeting everyone in the room one by one, he went out.
The treetops on the moon, Xiao Mansion.
In the end, it was August, and now the night is getting darker and darker, Xiao Huai'an stepped on the moonlight all over the ground and returned to Xiao's Mansion with the twinkling starlight in the sky.
It's not too late, but the lights are almost all out everywhere outside. Xiao Huai'an didn't want to alarm the others, so he returned to his room very lightly, and just took out the fire fold, before he lit the lamp, he suddenly saw Su Jiao wearing a thin silk pajamas, and a cloak made of snow veil on her shoulders.
She was snow-white, and with a long hanging green silk on her head, she suddenly appeared under the window, and she wanted to be a timid person, and she was afraid that she would be scared out of illness.
Xiao Huai'an was also shocked by her dress, the fire fold was easily ignited, and it was also blown out by the night wind, and then she saw Su Jiao throw off her sleeves and hold a night pearl the size of a fist in her left hand.
The lower half of her face is a pearl of the night, and the light and shadow of the green fluorescence, coupled with her outfit, make it even more creepy to watch.
Su Jiao walked slowly to the front with a dull gaze, it was like sleepwalking, Xiao Huai'an easily came back to his senses, blew the fire fold again, and lit the candle in front of the bronze mirror, and the light reflected by the copper mirror instantly illuminated the world on this side.
Xiao Huai'an was funny again, and he accidentally snatched the night pearl from Su Jiao's hands.
"What are you doing, why did you come to my room, it's better to rest so late, are you trying to scare anyone by dressing like this?"
Xiao Huai was amused for a while, Su Jiao listened to his words, slowly raised her eyes, looked quietly for a while, and then opened her mouth wide and yawned.
"You're embarrassed to say, why did you come back so late. I have something to do, and I'm waiting for you here, but you didn't come back until you slept after waiting for you, so don't you hurry up and give me an honest explanation. ”
"I, I just went to the Hou Mansion and met Yang Hou Yang Gongzi." Xiao Huai'an was puzzled by her question, took the candle and lit all the other lights on her bedside and the room on the right, and then sat down with Su Jiao in front of the central table and talked.
"Besides, early in the morning on weekdays may not wake you up, how can your sleep be so light today, as soon as you hear it, you know that you are bluffing again. If there's anything, you can talk about it tomorrow, or call Hibiscus to inform you, why wait here so hard at night. ”
Su Jiao is used to being unkempt in modern times, and she actually came to someone else's room in her pajamas and waited, without asking Xiao Huai'an to think in other directions, Xiao Huai'an almost wanted to praise himself for being the world's willow Hui.
And Su Jiao didn't realize that she was dressed like this, what was wrong? She pursed her lips and puffed out her cheeks as she played with the pearl of the night, telling it to roll around on the table, muttering quietly.
"This person's life is at stake, and if it weren't for the urgency of the situation, I wouldn't want to do this."
"What?" Xiao Huai'an was stunned, almost thinking that he had misheard, "You are often in the backyard of the boudoir on weekdays, and the friendship is just Miss Zhang and the Earl's Mansion, but now that the wind and waves are calm, how can you say that?" ”
"You and I are stupid, on the eve of the so-called stormy night, the sea is calm, and soon something big is about to happen, how can a person as smart as you not understand?"
Su Jiao raised her eyes slightly, and glanced at Xiao Huai'an meaninglessly, and Xiao Huai'an suddenly became nervous.
If I remember correctly, I just learned about Yang Fujian's worries two days ago, and it is impossible for such a matter related to the safety of the imperial court to be easily leaked out, how could Su Jiao know?
Xiao Huai'an's eyes widened slightly unconsciously, and he was a little worried that Su Jiao's words would expose the matter that he and the Yang family were bothering to investigate, and just as he was about to open his mouth to stop it, he heard her sigh and continue.
"However, it's no wonder you're so nervous, in an era of peace like this, who knows what kind of bloody wind and danger awaits behind. For example, I told you before that I would predict the future, don't you believe it? ”
"Actually, it's because I saw the fate of my uncle, the Yang family, in my prophecy. The Yang family of the Loyal and Righteous Marquis was framed by someone, so that the nine clans were punished, and now the time is about to come, but I don't even have a clue, I really can't help it, I have to ask for your head, do you believe me or not? ”
Su Jiao took a deep breath, she was able to calm down at first, but when she mentioned the future of the Yang family, her whole body became excited, so that when she said the last sentence, she almost wanted to pull Xiao Huai'an's collar and ask questions.
Xiao Huai'an gave Su Jiao a series of explosive messages, which filled his head, and he almost couldn't turn back, and he opened his mouth in disbelief for a moment, "You, you weren't joking with me before, how could you know that the Yang family would be framed?" Do you have the evidence in your hands? ”
"If I had evidence, I would have found out who that person was, the key is that my uncle and they shouldn't have come back at this time," Su Jiao shook her head sadly, and stomped her foot angrily.
"Now that no clues have been revealed, I was afraid that something would happen, so I thought of pulling you over to help me figure out a way, after all, now, I can only rely on you alone."
On weekdays, Su Jiao is like a cat, looking well-behaved and cute, but for herself, she also looks at herself like an ordinary person, without ups and downs, and it is really surprising to be able to say this kind of dependent words today.
After Xiao Huai'an was taken aback, he quickly fell into a dilemma after listening to Su Jiao's words. Su Jiao is right, if the Yang family continues to investigate the reasons for the frequent trade between countries and the excessive exploitation of iron ore, they are afraid that they will affect the interests of others, and they will indeed be easily persecuted.
It's just that at the moment, she is clueless like her, and it is easy to find out a few possibilities, but the people and forces under those two Shangshu are intertwined and involved, and it is not so easy to trace the source.
Although the Ministry of Rites Shangshu is more suspicious, Xiao Huaian always feels that Li Shangshu does not look like this kind of person. Although he is good at poetry and books, he knows nothing about such economic matters.
Even if the family's property is getting bigger and bigger, it is almost all fake. And Margo is even more cautious, although he has some edges, but because the scale is too small, he can't do it to this extent.
So retrospectively, today's hard work is like a waste.
Xiao Huai'an frowned slightly, did not speak, Su Jiao waited next to him for a long time, a pair of eyes flickered for a long time, and finally couldn't help but slap lightly on the table.
The moonlight is white, and when it hits Su Jiao's small hand, it looks like it is made of jade, which is very pleasing to the eye.
"I'm asking you, can you give me a letter? Even if you don't believe it, why don't you say a few nice words, coax me, and make me feel at ease? ”
"If it were just for peace of mind, you wouldn't have waited for me all night. Mu Rong and Mu Hibiscus are on my orders, and they must be by your side at all times, and now you can quietly turn over in the middle of the night and avoid their sight to come here, which shows your sincerity and eagerness. ”
Xiao Huai'an came back to his senses, and was also very moved by Su Jiao's heart, raised his head and said this, which was equivalent to agreeing. And Su Jiao was caught off guard by such a serious and gentle face, but she couldn't help but feel a little more embarrassed.
"You, what you said doesn't make people think that I am here to have an affair with you."
"Ahem." Xiao Huai'an didn't expect her to say such a thing, she choked coldly, and felt very unbearable, so she quickly stood up and walked a few steps before suppressing the throbbing in her heart.
"You don't have to thank me so much, since you married me, then our two families are equivalent to one glory and one loss, I will try my best to help in this matter, it's not early today, you should go back and rest quickly."
"Ah, okay." Su Jiao covered her face, what she said just now made it really impossible to figure out whether she was joking or serious.
She was stunned to see Xiao Huai'an walking around so unnaturally, and when she heard his assurance, she was happy for a while, so she didn't care about these doubts, nodded obediently and agreed, and took the fist-sized night pearl away.
Xiao Huai'an looked at Su Jiao's back as she left and shook her head gently.
Although Xiao Huai'an agreed to help him, out of prudence, if he didn't believe it, or if it was delayed for some other reason, wouldn't it be a big mistake.
So for the sake of insurance, Su Jiao decided to continue the investigation by herself, and first went to Yang's house to see if there were any possibilities and loopholes that had been framed.
So after the banquet on the first day was over, Su Jiao hurriedly took a carriage back to Yang's house, under the pretext of seeing her mother Yang Ruopei, but in fact she wanted to observe and inquire secretly.
Mu Hibiscus is big heart, still sitting in front of the car as usual, Mu Rong is a little confused, what did Xiao Huai'an mean by what he told him in the morning, could it be that what happened to Su Jiao the night before?
