Chapter Twenty-Eight: Who She Is
After this episode, the table full of delicacies doesn't seem to be so delicious, and it seems to be a happy meal, but it ends hastily in the end. After Song Wenyu sent the guests away, he hurried to the east wing. Huairen saw that his face was gloomy and terrifying, and he only wondered in his heart: The young lady behaved remarkably today, and there was nothing worthy of the young master's anger.
As soon as Song Wenyu knocked on the courtyard door of the east wing, he rushed directly into the room. Ah Jin was changing clothes in the inner room, and when he heard the door knocking, he subconsciously covered his shirt, and looked at the tall man standing at the door through the screen in horror.
"Song Wenyu?" When she saw the person clearly, she couldn't help but glared at him angrily: "What are you doing?" I broke in without a single report! ”
"It's not you who plays the pipa today."
"What?" He asked a question without a head and a brain, so that Ah Jin didn't turn a corner for a long time: "What are you talking about?" ”
"I'm asking if it's you who played the pipa today! The person who played the moonlit night in the spring river with Song Li. ”
"yes. Originally, the second girl of the Meng family wanted to play this song with her, but the Meng family did not come today. My grandmother and mother felt sorry for Song Li and didn't want her banquet to be ruined like this, so they begged me for help. Ah Jin replied honestly, and when he finished speaking, he glanced at Song Wenyu very puzzled: "I'm willing to help, why are you still unhappy?" ”
She was so well-behaved, so that Song Wenyu held a breath of turbidity in her chest, and she couldn't go up and down. The two stared at each other for a while, and finally he spoke first: "I'm glad you're willing to help Song Li." If you want to leave the house recently, tell me. I've sent someone to accompany you. ”
After saying this, Song Wenyu withdrew from the room and closed the door, leaving Ah Jin with a shocked look on his face.
"Did he take the wrong medicine today?"
Ah Jin pointed to the door and turned his head to look at Ah Jiu, who was standing on the side watching the play. Ah Jiu shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.
Huairen stood at the door and listened carefully to the movement, and suddenly Song Wenyu came out of the room again and startled him. He followed Song Wenyu for a while, and found that the master was going to the study, so he began to worry about the relationship between the two husband and wife again.
"Young Master, did the young lady make you angry?" He asked cautiously.
When Song Wenyu heard this, he suddenly stopped his pace and turned to look at Huairen. Because the two of them were standing under the corridor, the moonlight cut the shadows of the wisteria flowers spread on the roof of the cloister into various shapes and projected them on Song Wenyu's body, making half of him hide in the shadows, which looked a little weird.
"The fifth prince is here today, and he heard it when Merkin played the pipa."
Huairen's eyes widened, and he immediately understood what was at stake: "That ......"
Song Wenyu sighed and continued: "He asked on the spot who the person who played the pipa was, and I prevaricated. But how long can you prevaricate? I guess he'll be secretly looking it up himself. ”
"Young Master, you don't have to worry too much." Huairen sorted out his emotions and comforted him: "After all, you are a court official, I think about it, no matter how much King Qing messes around on weekdays, he won't dare to do anything to contaminate the wife of a court official......
"Yes." Song Wenyu muttered, not believing what Huairen said at all: "I hope so." ”
……
Xiao Zhan was sitting in his bedroom, reading a book leisurely, when Lu Qing knocked on the door and walked in. Xiao Zhan glanced up at him, and then fell on the book.
"Found?"
"Got it." Lu Qing nodded, his expression looked a little heavy: "The person who plays the pipa seems to be the wife of Zhuang Yuanlang." Song Shen. ”
As soon as Lu Qing's words fell, Xiao Zhan's action of turning the book stopped. When he looked at Lu Qing again, his expression was a little gloomy: "Who are you talking about?" ”
Lu Qing pursed his lips, expecting Xiao Zhan to have such a reaction: "The little one has carefully inquired, the woman who played the pipa today is the wife of Zhuang Yuanlang, Song Shen." ”
This time, Xiao Zhan was in no mood to read at all. His brows furrowed, and he subconsciously rubbed the silver bell placed on the table in his hand. This answer was completely unexpected by him.
Originally, Xiao Duo wanted to do something, but he didn't want to interfere at all. It's just that King Qing has always been hostile to him, and at today's banquet, seeing that he showed a strong interest in the woman who played the piano, he simply asked his subordinates to find out Xiao Duo's new target, in case of emergency.
Unexpectedly, Song Shen was involved again.
Xiao Zhan held his forehead with one hand and asked slowly: "Isn't she unable to get along with Song Li, why would she be willing to play with her today." ”
"It is said that it was not Mrs. Song, it should be the daughter of the Song family and the second girl of the Meng family. But the second girl of the Meng family pushed the invitation today, so she ......"
"The Meng family." Xiao Zhan's eyes flashed with coldness, and he put down the hand that was holding his forehead: "The second girl of the Meng family you said, but the Meng family is from Meng Yihan." ”
"Exactly."
"That's it, you send someone to keep an eye on Meng Yihan these days, and if she has any changes, report to me immediately."
"Yes." Lu Qing received the order, and asked a few more words boldly: "Lord Wang, little dull, why don't you let our people protect Mrs. Song?" ”
"She doesn't need it." At the mention of Ah Jin, Xiao Zhan's eyes had a gentle smile again.
Lu Qing didn't know Ah Jin's true identity, so he thought that Xiao Zhan was saying that she was protected by Song Wenyu, so he couldn't help but sympathize with Xiao Zhan in his heart. He raised his head and looked at Xiao Zhan with a subtle change in his eyes.
"The subordinates will arrange it immediately."
"Go ahead." Xiao Zhan waved his hand, the whole person was immersed in memories, and did not look at Lu Qing: "You say, how good it is for you to stay on the unruly mountain." Why did you come to this mixed capital...... I ought to protect thee, as thou hast done unto me. But how can I protect you? ”
He muttered to himself the delicate silver bell, which glowed faintly in the candlelight, as if listening, but it would never give an answer.
