Chapter 229: Friend or Foe

In the summer, it is already very hot in the capital.

Fortunately, there is a plane tree in the yard, and it is cool under the shade.

A woman in her twenties was lazily lying in a rocking chair, the breeze blowing through her sideburns, as if she had fallen asleep.

There was a maid standing next to her, whispering: "You didn't see it, it was really thrilling, Xie Yun's people sang a big play, and wanted to cheat the bag of things, seeing that those people were about to be fooled, I shouted in a hurry, those people reacted really quickly, and immediately understood what was going on, and in a blink of an eye, Xie Yun's people were all caught." ”

The woman still didn't react.

The maid said: "The government has taken people away, and they will definitely be able to find out the bad things Xie Yun did, madam, let's just listen to the news next." ”

The woman finally opened her eyes: "Xie Yun has only been in the capital for four or five days, when did the government handle the case so quickly." ”

"Maybe this time, it happened to bump," the maid said, "Xie Yun was unlucky, he showed his horse's feet, and he was discovered......"

When the maid said this, she was a little weak-hearted: "In short, this is a good thing, now Xie Yun's true face is revealed, and those who believe in Xie Yun will be able to turn back." ”

The woman said, "It's simple. Speaking of this, she couldn't help but think, and she didn't know what kind of person was the one who caught Xie Yun.

As if seeing the woman's thoughts, the maid said, "Otherwise, the slave will go and inquire." ”

The woman shook her head, she didn't believe those people in the government, she had seen and heard too much over the years, and it was better to act on her own than to deal with those people.

As soon as the woman said this, there was a clear knock at the door.

Meng Lingyun stood at the door and shouted in a small voice, "May I ask if anyone is there." ”

There was silence in the courtyard, and Meng Lingyun had to wonder if there was no one in there at all, thinking of this, his gaze looked past the prince and looked at the eldest lady.

Xu Qinghuan said: "Knock on the door again!" ”

Since the eldest lady said so, that is, everything was according to the previous plan, Meng Lingyun knocked on the door again: "May I ask if the owner of this house is not there." ”

The woman in the courtyard slowly got up from the recliner, the maid next to her showed a surprised look on her face, and several nursing homes in the family had gathered at the door, with a nervous look on her face.

The woman lowered her eyes, this courtyard had been empty before, how could anyone come to visit, unless......

A voice rang out outside the door again: "You helped earlier today, and we're here to say thank you." ”

Sure enough, the woman looked at the maid beside her, and those people found her.

Since she has already come, it is an insight into her actions, and there is no point in hiding anymore.

She just looked at who was outside the door.

"Open the door and welcome the guests in," the woman instructed faintly, and then walked into the room, "change my clothes." ”

The door in front of him slowly opened, and Xu Qingan stopped his sister: "I'll go in first and have a look." ”

"It's okay," Xu Qinghuan said, "Brother don't worry. "If these people really have a problem, even if my brother goes in first, I'm afraid he won't be able to see the clue, and she has already thought about it, the people here should be friends and not enemies, otherwise they won't remind my brother to be careful when Xie Yun's people are cheating.

Xu Qinghuan looked at Uncle Lei again for the sake of prudence, and Uncle Lei nodded.

……

Walking into the courtyard, someone immediately came to guide the way.

"The guests will go to the hall and sit down."

Xu Qing'an and Xu Qinghuan sat down, and the servants immediately served tea, and after a while, they saw a woman appear at the door.

Xu Qingan stood up and was about to speak.

The woman had already spoken, "I don't know why some of the distinguished guests came. ”

Xu Qingan looked at the maid beside the woman, and the situation in the Rongsheng Inn immediately came to mind, when Xie Yun's people were tricked and deliberately wanted to crash into his arms, at that moment he heard someone behind him shouting: "Be careful." ”

After he tied up those people, he turned his head to look, and vaguely saw such a face in the crowd, Xu Qingan looked at it carefully, and made sure that she was not wrong, thinking of this, Xu Qingan looked at Xu Qinghuan,

Hug your fists: "In the Rongsheng Inn, thank you for this girl's help." ”

The maid looked stunned, she really didn't expect them to find her like this.

"Childe is polite," the woman smiled, "Look at Childe's dress should be from a rich family, so we can't afford to come to thank you, and the little maid in the family also happened to meet, casually, Childe doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

"Sister isn't from Beijing, right?"

As soon as the woman's voice fell, she could see that the girl's clear eyes were looking at her.

The woman smiled slightly: "We passed through the capital, and we came to see the prosperity of the capital." ”

Xu Qinghuan nodded and looked out of the door: "I saw that my sister's family was wearing fast boots, the boots were full of dust, I must have walked a lot, and there was no carriage in the yard, it can be seen that my sister is also good at riding, I boldly guess that my sister is from the coast." ”

The woman put away her smile.

Xu Qinghuan said: "Not only that, my sister should be outside all the year round, so her skin is not as fair as that of the inner house, when she walked in the door, her stride was very small, but because she was used to walking on weekdays, the deliberate changes made her body appear a little stiff."

Wearing soft-soled embroidered shoes on the feet, such shoes look beautiful, but the soles are thin, and you need to walk very lightly, but my sister obviously doesn't wear this kind of shoes on weekdays, and suddenly she is too adaptable to wearing them, and the force under her feet is too heavy, and she will feel stiff and painful on the soles of her feet for a while, I suggest that my sister still sit down and talk, so that she will feel much more relaxed. ”

When Xu Qinghuan said this, the maid beside the woman showed a little nervousness in her eyes.

The woman was still calm, turned around and sat on the chair, and then looked at Xu Qinghuan: "The eldest lady has good eyesight, but the eldest lady guesses what these things are, could it be that we are doing something wrong." ”

Xu Qinghuan said: "My sister is a maritime businessman, right?" Maritime merchants from Changzhou. ”

The woman's smile froze at the corners of her mouth.

Xu Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that I have come to the right place, if my sister is a maritime businessman, it will be the best result for me," she said and looked into the room, "The calligraphy, paintings and couplets in this room show that my sister is a good literary person. ”

After speaking, Xu Qinghuan looked at the woman's waist: "This dress is not suitable for my sister, but the purse on my waist is an old thing, and what is in it is counted?" ”

The woman's eyes were slightly deep, and she quickly showed an appreciative look: "No wonder Xie Yun was arrested so quickly, it turned out that there was someone like the eldest lady, and the eldest lady came to look for me, did she think that I was on the same road as Xie Yun?" ”
