Chapter 357: Cutting the Cocoon 5
This small action is the most familiar to Mrs. Xuanlu - every time Qu Xiaoxiang lies, she will subconsciously rub the object in her hand with her fingers, and if not, she will knead the hem of her clothes to hide her inner uneasiness.
"Tell the truth."
Mrs. Xuanlu was not angry, but only slightly raised her voice, and such words fell into her ears, and she was a little more angry and arrogant.
Qu Xiaoxiang subconsciously stirred, you must know that after the battle fifteen years ago, in the Southern Army, her aunt's reputation is second only to that of the Duke of Dian and Zhennanhou.
Such a posture that seems to be light and light, but in fact knows it well, let alone Qu Xiaoxiang, even Qu Chun was panicked.
In the past, seeing Mrs. Xuanlu's appearance, Qu Xiaoxiang basically hesitated for a while, and then poured beans and told everything about everything. But today, when she hesitated, she secretly glanced at Mrs. Xuanlu, and inexplicably felt that this calm appearance like a mountain was similar to Lin Ruo's calm and calm appearance.
Thinking of Lin Ruo, the words on that piece of paper came to her mind at the right time.
Deceive. Bo Yu.
A white light flashed in her mind in an instant, making her understand what Lin Ruo meant between the lightning and flint: hide it from Mrs. Xuanlu and use Su Muyu as a shield.
That's what it means...... Right?
His mind was still entangled, but his mouth was a step faster, and he uncontrollably followed his train of thought and said the words: "Inquire about Su Boyu." ”
As soon as the words fell, needless to say, Mrs. Xuanlu was stunned, and Qu Xiaoxiang herself was a little surprised.
But the words were said by herself, and they were much less suspicious than Mrs. Xuanlu.
"What is the son of the Marquis of Jingping doing inquiring?"
Catching up with Mrs. Xuanlu's suspicious gaze, Qu Xiaoxiang could only explain stubbornly: "Because...... Recently, Aunt and Mrs. Su have been getting close. And, huh...... Before the second brother left, he talked to me about Su Shizi a few times. Also, I went to various houses to attend the Spring Festival banquet several times, and I also heard people mention this matter vaguely......"
Said in a scattered manner, obviously trying to say one sentence at a time; But it can also be said that it is because of the major events that involve one's life, so he swallows it.
After all, no matter how heroic and heroic she is, she is still a daughter's family.
Mrs. Xuanlu thought of herself, even if she followed her father to hone in the military camp and on the battlefield, and had the heroic posture and spirit of an unfamiliar man, but in front of her husband, she was also a little daughter.
When her father made a marriage contract for her, she also took the guards to provoke the other party, wanting to save the other party's face, but it turned out to be a stone, she made a big red face, and hid in the Zhennan Hou Mansion for more than half a month. In the end, the other party came to apologize and punish him.
At first, she gave a heavy hand mercilessly, whipped the other party a few times, and, moreover, made a bad blow, specifically hit the calf.
The taste of a tough python whip on the body is really not something ordinary people can endure! After a few whips, the other party was obviously unstable on his feet, but he still smiled at her, with tolerance and flattery.
In the end, she felt guilty and distressed, and scolded him for being a fool. He smiled and said that it was worth it to exchange a whip for a daughter-in-law who knew how cold and warm!
How many years ago was that?
It seems that he is as old as Qu Xiaoxiang......
It's a pity that that fool is no longer there......
Mrs. Xuanlu's eyes were inexplicably a little moist, and she didn't explain anything to Shangqu Xiaoxiang's suspicious gaze, and after a while, she asked frankly: "I have discussed it with your father, and I do have this plan." Su Shizi is indeed a good candidate. ”
Su Muyu? A good candidate? Got a plan?
The concise and concise narrative made Qu Xiaoxiang's whole person freeze in place, and even felt like a clay statue, beginning to crack and drop slag "in a hurry".
So, my father and aunt really have the intention to let her marry Su Muyu?!
She just dug a pit and buried herself?
No, no, to be exact, it should be Lin Ruo who dug a pit, and then laid straw on it as a cover, and then gave her a hint to let her jump into the pit according to the map!
"There are indeed a lot of rumors about Su Shizi, but ......"
Qu Xiaoxiang slandered Lin Ruo in her heart, and was thinking about the meaning of the other key words on the note, she didn't listen carefully to Mrs. Xuanlu's words, basically one ear went in, one ear went out, and when Mrs. Xuanlu called her back to her senses, she realized that she didn't seem to have listened to anything!
From Fang Cai's absent-mindedness to the ridicule at this moment, Mrs. Xuanlu saw Qu Xiaoxiang's entire reaction in her eyes, put the tea cup in her hand on the table with a "dang" sound, looked calm, and asked meaningfully: "Xiaoxiang, did you really just ask Minhui about the son of the Marquis of Jingping?" ”
was asked like this, Qu Xiaoxiang's heart jumped.
The purpose of going to see Lin Ruo today was naturally not to understand Su Muyu, and it was not to go to Lin Ruo to inquire about Su Muyu's glorious deeds.
At this meeting, the two did not talk about what they wanted to talk about - she did not tell Lin Ruo what she learned about "Qu Lianyang", and Lin Ruo did not tell her in person how much information she had found so far.
However, going to the suburban racecourse today was worth the trip - what she wanted to know, Lin Ruo should have told her on a note, but for a while, she hadn't figured out the meaning of these keywords.
was exposed as a lie, Qu Xiaoxiang tried to quibble, but who is Mrs. Xuanlu, how could she be fooled by her? His eyes looked directly at Qu Xiaoxiang, and he asked calmly and concisely, "The person you asked me about last time also learned from Min Hui's mouth, right?" ”
Mrs. Xuanlu knew who "Qu Lianyang" was.
Because he knew, he didn't dare to call his elders by name.
It's a pity that Qu Xiaoxiang is not Lin Ruo, and this detail was ignored by her.
For a moment, she thought about what Mrs. Xuanlu was mentioning, and then denied it.
"Really?"
Mrs. Xuanlu gently picked the last note, her expression was impermanent, but her tone was completely unbelieving.
Qu Xiaoxiang didn't know where the confidence came from, and met Mrs. Xuanlu's gaze, and insisted on the three words "Qu Lianyang", which he didn't hear from Lin Ruo.
A very soft sigh brushed his ears like a feather.
Qu Xiaoxiang was stunned, and didn't understand why Mrs. Xuanlu let out this sigh inexplicably. The question was declared, but Mrs. Xuanlu still did not give any explanation, and waved her hand to let her leave.
"Xiaoxiang."
At the moment when her footsteps were about to step out of the threshold, Mrs. Xuanlu spoke up and called Qu Xiaoxiang.
Qu Xiaoxiang turned her head and looked at Mrs. Xuanlu with a blank expression: "Auntie? ”
Mrs. Xuanlu moved the corners of her mouth shallowly, her face softened a little, and said, "Minhui is a good child, and it is also a good thing for you to be closer to her." ”
Qu Xiaoxiang was stunned, and Mrs. Xuanlu specially stopped her, just to say good things for Lin Ruo?
