Chapter 151: I Don't Trust You
It was night, in a palatial mansion somewhere in Kyoto.
"Why did Brother Xu stop me from admonishing in front of the emperor today, the Si family is the fat in hand, this is something that everyone in the court and the middle of the country knows, what kind of thing is her Sinan born out of nowhere!"
The more the man spoke, the more angry he became, he drank all the tea in his hand, slapped his big palm on the table, and snorted coldly: "Besides, she is still a waste woman who can't cultivate, such a person can also manage the Si family well?!" β
Hearing this, the slightly thin man next to him smiled, "Haha, you see, Master Bao himself said it, how can such a waste be managed by the Si family?" β
This man's name is Xu Lin, and he is the secretary of the imperial court's Ministry of Rites, and the small round face with a fat figure is Bao Qisun, who is also an important minister of the humerus in the court. Since the collapse of the Zhuang and Si families, the original second-class family has been in front of the body, and everyone wants to get a piece of the pie.
Xiao Yuan's head was not very good, but he also heard something wrong from Xu Lin's words, he thought for a while, his eyes widened and he suddenly said, "What does Brother Xu mean...... Let Nasinan make her own mistakes, so we can take the opportunity to clean her up?! β
"Exactly." Xu Lin glanced at Bao Qisun mysteriously, and said: "If you and I stop it today, Sinan may not inherit the Si family, but after all, she is the only person in the Si family, and she has made great contributions, the emperor is reasonable and biased towards her, and it is a matter of time before she inherits the Si family." But if Sinan makes a mistake and is stripped of the right to inherit the Si family, the meaning will be completely different for you and me. β
Xu Lin looked at Bao Qisun meaningfully, and both of them had a plan in their hearts.
Xiao Yuan's face smiled treacherously: "Brother Xu, I have a clever plan." β
He beckoned to Xu Lin, who leaned over and whispered, "Let's ...... like this"
β¦β¦
Since the rebellion of King Zhou subsided, there has been a rumor in the city of Kyoto: Si Nan, who was driven out of Kyoto three years ago, has returned, and the waste of the past has been on the thigh of the prince, and the innocence has been cleared, and the waste wood has become the head of the Si family.
These things are the favorite topics of discussion among the people of Kyoto after dinner, and people are the most unhappy to see that others are better off than themselves, so these rumors are not necessarily good words.
On this day, Zhou He came in angrily from outside, and wanted to turn directly to the side courtyard, but was stopped by Sinan, who was lying on a rocking chair in the main courtyard and basking in the sun.
"You always greeted me before you came to the door, why didn't you have it today? The head of the Si family can't control you? β
"No......" Zhou He's voice was muffled, she paused and finally turned around, walked to Sinan's side, and said in a low voice: "Miss." β
Today's sun is very good, the warm sun is shining obliquely on Sinan's face, and the thick eyelashes cast a silhouette, she opened her eyes slightly, glanced at Zhou He, and said with a smile: "What, I was bullied?" β
Zhou He's light-colored clothes were stained with mud, and there were bruises on his fair and delicate face, and he lowered his head silently, angry and aggrieved, like a child who had been robbed of sugar.
She pursed her lips and said angrily: "My subordinates went to the iron shop to get things today, and I heard that those big men dared to talk about the young lady's affairs, and they ...... It was also unpleasant, so I couldn't hold back for a while, and beat them hard, just a small injury, and the young lady didn't have to worry about it. β
"The next time you hear that, don't pay attention to it." Although Sinan said this, a little warmth rose in his heart.
"But Miss, I really can't help it, how can they say that, the emperor justified you three years ago, and besides, you are a victim of this matter, how can you run to their mouths, you will become a complete villain!"
Zhou He couldn't get angry, and his head still echoed what those people said, what hugged the prince's thigh, what kind of waste took over the Si family's industry logically, and asked those people to say it, as if their young lady was deliberately framed!
"That's it." Si Nan waved his hand nonchalantly, and his tone was the same as today's sun, making people lazy, "I don't care about this, my mouth is on them, just say whatever you want." Besides, they said that smallpox, and now the head of the Si family is not me? β
Sinan has never paid attention to these gossips, those who are clear are self-purifying, and those people are just jealous.
"But ......"
"Alright." Sinan looked at Zhou He with a smile and said, "Go back and change your clothes, go to the medicine hall to get some wound medicine, treat the wound, and then go to a place with me." β
Zhou He nodded yes, and when Sinan said this, she felt a lot less angry in her heart, so she turned around and left.
It has been a while since the Si family was taken over, and these days Sinan has had a comfortable life, and she ordered the entire Sifu to be renovated, except for the small courtyard where her mother lived before, and the rest were redecorated according to her wishes.
The decoration was directly left to Zhou He and Moyu, and she took Si Zihuai to take a good walk around Kyoto, eating, drinking and having fun, so uncomfortable.
It wasn't until the end of the repair that I officially moved in.
Not long after Zhou He left, he saw Bai Shan come in with his head hanging and a dejected face.
"Nan'er, you want to save me!" Bai Shan pouted, sat on the chair beside her, and said with an aggrieved face: "Tomorrow my father will take me to see my future husband, but...... But I really don't want to go! β
She took Sinan's hand, swayed from side to side, and kept coquettish: "I know you have always had a lot of ideas, good Nan'er, help me think of a way, I really don't want to marry!" β
Ah, yes, Bai Shan is now a person with a marriage contract, but she likes Fu Wenxiu.
"I really can't help it." Sinan hooked her lips and smiled, pulled her hand down, took a sip of tea, and said: "Since the two of you have made a marriage contract, even if you don't want to meet, you can't do it, this is the minimum politeness, and I support Uncle Bai in this regard." β
"Sinan, you!" Bai Shan pursed her lips aggrievedly, but she still didn't blurt out the word traitor, but instead sighed and said, "I also know that this is rude, but I really don't want to marry him." β
Her voice paused, pondered for a moment, then her eyes lit up, and she pulled Si Nan and said: "Ah, how about this, tomorrow you go with me, with you to give me courage, I will definitely have no problem, if that person is a good talker, maybe you and I can lobby together, and we can also withdraw this marriage contract!" β
Hey! You girl, you are quite good at wishful thinking!
"How, how!" Bai Shan looked at Sinan and said coquettishly: "Good Nan'er, I know you can't bear to watch me marry a stranger, just this time, if you need me somewhere in the future, I will do my best, huh!?" β
Sinan looked at the villain in front of him, and after a long time, he finally nodded: "Okay, but you have to remember your promise today." β
Bai Shan grinned: "Remember, remember!" β
That's it, let's go, it's okay tomorrow anyway, but Sinan really wants to see what kind of man is the person who can make Bai Xin promise his only concubine.
sent Bai Shan away, Zhou He also changed his clothes, took care of his wounds, and the two left Si's house together.
"Miss, it's going to be dark soon, and many shops are closed, where are we going?"
"Who said I was going to the store?" Sinan looked ahead.
"Where are you going?"
Sinan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "The dungeon on the outskirts of the city." β
β¦β¦
When night fell, in the forest on the outskirts of the city, the cold wind blew slowly, the leaves in the forest were blown rustling, and there were a few low bird and beast chirpings in the distant mountains, which made people listen to some weird horror.
The two walked all the way to the forest, stopped in front of a big tree, Sinan activated the mechanism, only to hear a loud noise, and a tunnel spread out from under the tree.
The dark and damp dungeon, the intertwined roots of the old trees, and the dim candlelight hitting the man's face, set off his well-defined silhouette more three-dimensionally.
"Is it Sinan?" His ears twitched, and he asked softly.
"When are you going to let me out!"
"Today." As soon as the voice fell, she saw Sinan in a black robe standing in front of the prison, she lowered her head and looked at the people who closed the door inside, "As long as you are ready, I can let you out at any time." β
The person locked up inside is none other than Qin State's spy, Qin Yu.
"I'm ready!" As soon as he heard that he could get out, Qin Yu suddenly got up and rushed to the prison door, "Didn't we discuss it before, I will go back to Qin State to hand over the drawings to the Emperor of Qin State for the purpose of making up for my mistakes, and let him lead his troops to break through the important cities on the border, and then join forces inside and outside, and annihilate them in one fell swoop!" β
Sinan raised his eyebrows: "That's right, that's what I said, but ......"
"Huh." Her voice paused slightly, she stepped forward slowly, a wicked smile bloomed on her beautiful face, and Qin Yu's face poured out of her clear black eyes, sharp, sharp, with the power to penetrate people's hearts.
Qin Yu was dripping with cold sweat, but he couldn't retreat, he laughed dryly twice, and said reluctantly: "But what? β
"But I'm not sure you're really loyal to me, you were originally from the Qin State, and you are dedicated to the country, how can you turn against me, unless you give me your trust."
His face turned pale, his smile became even more embarrassing, he wiped his cold sweat and said, "The girl said that I am laughing, since I want to return to the Qin Kingdom, how can I give my life to you......"
"Of course there is." Sinan smiled coldly.
As soon as the words fell, I saw her five fingers curl slightly, and slammed into the prison, with a slight "jump", Qin Yu's chest was red, and she actually inserted all five fingers into the other party's heart!
Qin Yu was shocked, took a few steps back, covered his heart and said in a panic: "What did you do?!" β
But it was too late for him to stop it, only to see the smile on the corner of Sinan's mouth even colder, and said lightly: "I have a highly toxic inlay in my nails, and the toxicity will attack within half a month, if you can't complete the task I assigned within half a month, come to me to get the antidote, and you will ......."
Saying that, Sinan made a movement to wipe his neck, "Die." β
Hearing this, Qin Yu's face suddenly turned white as a dead man, he was angry in his heart, and rushed to Sinan, just about to reach out and grab her face, but was kicked away by Zhou He.
"Ahh
Qin Yu was kicked back a few steps in a row, and sat on the ground, but he still looked at Sinan with disgust - this woman is really vicious!
"Qin Yu, I advise you, if you have time to compete with me, it is better to go back to Qin State quickly and get things done, after all, this is about your life."
