Xie Yuan and Old Madam Xie left one after another, and the originally lively atmosphere at the dinner table cooled down a little.

Xie Qingheng's eyebrows were filled with sadness, and Su Ruan also sighed lowly.

Jiang Xuan was still eating happily, but he couldn't swallow it anymore.

After the meal, Weiwu and a few people knew that Mrs. Xie was not in a good mood, and it was not good to stay long.

When Xie Qingheng sent them out, Jiang Xuan stood beside him and whispered, "Qingheng, is this matter very tricky?" ”

Jiang Xuan and Xie Qingheng are the same age, and they often go in and out of the palace, coupled with the friendship between Mrs. Xie and the Wei family, the two can be regarded as friends.

Xie Qingheng shook his head when he heard this:

"I don't know the specifics, but I just heard a few words from my father."

He felt that Yue Rong's father and son were looking towards him, and lowered his voice and said:

"You also know that I am now on an errand in front of the prince, and how many people are staring at me, so some things are not easy to mix, so as not to accidentally implicate the prince."

"My father didn't tell me much about this matter, only that the emperor asked about it after entering the palace today."

"Fortunately, my father has followed the emperor for many years, and my grandmother has never crossed the line after being recruited, even if the emperor is really suspicious, he will not dispose of our Xie family at will, and after my father finds out the matter, there will be nothing to do in the house."

Jiang Xuan listened to Xie Qingheng's words, but his eyes were still worried.

Emperor Xuan of the Ming Dynasty is not a benevolent lord, if he is really suspicious, it is not a trivial matter.

Jiang Xuan was worried, but his official position was not high, and even if he wanted to help, there was no way.

In the end, he could only say: "What's the use of me, you and Hou Ye even if you command, there are still ......"

His voice was a little lower, meaning something,

"If some things are not easy to check on the surface, you can tell Master Hou, maybe you can try to take the road on the rivers and lakes, my mother's dart bureau has made a lot of contacts, maybe it can help."

Xie Qingheng knew what the Weiwu family did, and the "business" in the secret of the Weiwu family, the entire Xie family, and Mrs. Xie, Xie Yuan and him knew.

Xie Qingheng said sincerely when he heard this: "Thank you, Second Brother Jiang." ”

Jiang Xuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "What is polite between you and me." ”

Jiang Xuan knew that the Xie family had something to do, so he didn't stay long, and after following Weiwu into the carriage and leaving, Xie Qingheng arrived in front of Yue Rong's father and son.

"Grandpa Yue, Uncle Yue, I'm really embarrassed today."

"It's rare for you to go to Beijing, but you have encountered this kind of thing, and we will treat you well when you come to Fuzhong another day."

Yue Rong waved his hand and said: "It's not an outsider, what kind words do you say, we are not in a hurry to go back to Zhangning, there is still more time to go back and forth, and it is not bad for this day." ”

"Your grandmother's temperament is anxious, and she can't stand being wronged, so when you go back, you will persuade your grandmother not to make her angry."

Xie Qingheng arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Grandpa Yue." ”

Yue Rong and Yue Qian got into the carriage, watching the coachman flick the whip and drive the car away, Xie Qingheng stood in front of the door and sighed, looking at the night as if he was worried for a long time, and after a while, he returned to the mansion.

Su Ruan sat on a four-wheeled cart and waited in front of the dining room.

Seeing Xie Qingheng come back, Su Ruan said, "Big brother, did Grandpa Yue send them away?" ”

Xie Qingheng nodded: "Send it away, it's just that it's really rude today." ”

Su Ruan said softly: "Grandmother is also in a hurry, so she can't bear it, after all, whoever encounters this matter will be angry." ”

The maid ring inside was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Xie Qingheng took off the cloak and put it on Su Ruan's body, pushing her to walk out.

The two walked around the corner and stopped when they saw that there was no one around.

Su Ruan raised his head and said: "Big brother, what the Marquis said is not very clear, only that the emperor blamed him after he entered the palace, do you know what happened?" ”

Xie Qingheng obviously hadn't discussed with Su Ruan, but when he listened to her question, it was as if the two had already discussed, and said in a low voice:

"It's not a matter of Zhangning's soldiers."

"Father and Lord Qi were suspicious before, the Bo family and the second prince were not the masterminds of Jingnan at all, and the so-called Zhangning soldiers were just a cover, and the Bo family was just used as a pawn and stepping stone, and became a puppet pushed by others in front of others."

"Last time, when my father and Lord Lin went to Zhangning to investigate on the orders of the emperor, they found out that something was wrong, and then Uncle Yue and they took the initiative to find it, and they became even more suspicious."

Hearing this, Su Ruan said in a low voice: "Master Hou suspects Yue Rong and them? ”

Xie Qingheng nodded: "They are all Zhangning's head snakes, if Zhangning has a garrison, they won't know about it, and how could Yue Qian happen to know about it so coincidentally, but he just lost his official position." ”

"Their father and son are full of suspicions, and their father has been secretly investigating them, but you also know the relationship between grandmother and Yue Rong, she doesn't want to believe that Yue Rong would betray their friendship for many years and do this kind of thing."

"My father kept it a secret from my grandmother, but then my grandmother didn't know where she found out about it."

"Grandmother Fang Cai is angry, in addition to the emperor's suspicion, it is also because of Yue Rong's father and son, she is angry that her father is suspicious of her old friend, but Ruan Ruan, our Xie family can't afford to take the risk."

Su Ruan listened to Xie Qingheng's words and was silent for a while before saying, "Then what now?" ”

Xie Qingheng sighed and said, "If Yue Rong's father and son really have a problem, they are afraid that they will not dare to stay in Beijing for a long time. ”

"Fortunately, my father inadvertently got some clues in Zhangning, and Bo Chong actually left some essay records of his interactions with people before he died, and my father and Lord Lin also found some things that could be used after verification, and they might be able to find out the people behind the Bo family after verification."

"To be able to play with the Bo family in the palm of his hand like this, and to push the prince of a country in front of others, that person must still have a helper in the court, although Bo Chong died in the Jinluan Palace, but as long as he is used by others and has intersected with that person, he will never be traceless."

Su Ruan nodded when he heard this, as if he was relieved: "That's good." ”

"I'll send you back first, your body hasn't been well yet, don't worry about the affairs of the court, my father and I will take care of it."

"Then you and Hou Ye must be careful."

"Yes."

When the four-wheeled vehicle walked on the ground, it made a sound of "bones, bones", Xie Qingheng pushed Su Ruan away, and the voices of the two slowly faded in the night until they disappeared.

The wind whistled at night, and although it had been sunny for a few days, it was still a little stinging when it blew on the face.

Xie Qingheng pushed Su Ruan back directly into the courtyard, waited for the two of them to enter the house, and after closing the door, Su Ruan looked up at Xie Qingheng who was standing beside him as if sensing something, and said in a low voice:

"Big brother?"

"It's gone." Xie Qingheng said.
