On the day Han Wan'er entered, a noisy cannon salute had been ringing outside the Overseer's Mansion since the morning, and it had been noisy all the way to the backyard. Shen Qiangrose woke up early in the morning, and after washing, she sat down in front of the dresser to comb her hair.

Mother Liu said on the side: "This day is going to pass according to the rules, but there are so many people, it is the same to go early and late, and the young lady does not want to see her, so she can go late for some reason." ”

Shen Qiangrose put down the ivory comb and said, "It's always going to go, so why bother about it." The elders in the house only hate not being able to grow eight pairs of sharp eyes, if I don't go, maybe I will cause a lot of right and wrong, so let Xiaozhu follow. ”

Mother Liu had no choice but to respond, seeing that it was cold outside, she hurriedly went to get her coat, Shen Qiangrose looked in the mirror, and then put on her coat and walked out.

Xiaozhu waited outside early, and when she saw that she was busy, she stepped forward to help her, and said: "Miss, just now I went to the front hall to see, there are few guests, only the sixth lady greets in the hall, and more than half of the officials of the military department are not there, saying that they were temporarily called by the second prince to have a meeting to discuss combat matters." ”

Shen Qiangrose nodded and did not speak. The two walked slowly all the way, and there were bustling voices in the distance, accompanied by the sound of gongs and drums, and the lingering drama came from far and near, across the rockery verandah, the dead trees and low grass, but it seemed to reveal a trace of grief in the deep antiquity, and it was lined with the ancient house forest, which was slightly desolate.

Because of this happy event, the Overseer's Mansion was more heavily guarded than usual, and the guards in the original backyard were also temporarily transferred to the front hall, where they went, with colored paper strips and lanterns, but the figures were deserted, and the cold wind was bleak.

When she walked to the side courtyard, Shen Qiangrose vaguely saw Su Ziyu's figure, but before she could see it clearly, Su Ziyu didn't know where she was going. Looking at the past, there was a partial attic in front of her, and it was adjacent to the lake, and the wind mixed with the cold was blowing, which made her shudder.

Xiaozhu was busy blocking the cool breeze for her, so it was a vent and did not shelter from the wind, generally for summer cooling, few people came on weekdays, especially in the cold winter season, it was a barren track.

Shen Qiangrose was surprised in her heart, so she asked softly, "Did you see a figure just now?" Xiaozhu couldn't help but glance at her, as if she was extremely scared, and said, "Miss, don't scare me." ”

Seeing this, Shen Qiangrose stopped talking, and the two of them hurriedly passed the high pavilion, but they might as well hear a sound, like jade hitting a stone, which was extremely crisp. Faintly, someone's voice came up and down, like a woman's voice.

Xiaozhu's eyes were already widening at this moment, and she couldn't stop looking at Shen Qiangrose, as if urging her to leave. Shen Qiangrose didn't panic, and pulled Xiaozhu to stand under the rainproof eaves of the attic.

I could hear a few intermittent sentences, "Han Wan'er...... The third son is even more powerful...... The second child is useless. ”

Shen Qiangrose tried her best to think about this voice, and suddenly held her breath, it turned out to be the sixth aunt! But after a while, Su Ziyu's voice also came out very low, "I don't care about you...... Don't have any bad ideas, or I'll let you ...... Get into a jam. ”

Shen Qiangrose might as well overhear this gossip, but she didn't know how the sixth aunt and Su Ziyu could be involved, and vaguely heard the footsteps stepping on the stairs "squeak" and kicking down, she was so panicked that she took Xiaozhu and hid to the other side.

The door "squeaked" was opened, and Shen Qiangrose looked through the window on the other side, and saw Su Ziyu dusting off the ashes from the hem of his robe and striding out.

After a while, I saw that the sixth aunt walked out with a big belly. Shen Qiangrose thought that she was already five or six months pregnant, but despite the slippery road, she ran to this kind of side courtyard alone, which showed that she had a great relationship with Su Ziyu.

She couldn't help but smile, in this mixed Overseer's Mansion, if you want to find a foothold, how can you do without allies? According to Su Ziyu's city government, it will be very convenient to choose Su Ziyu's favored aunt and wife, and it will be very convenient to do a lot of things, so I don't think it's strange to figure this out.

Due to this delay in time, Shen Qiangrose had to speed up her steps before going up to the verandah, and a shadow flashed coldly. It startled her, but she was shocked, and suddenly someone behind her said, "Miss Shen, long time no see." ”

Shen Qiangrose couldn't help but be startled, turned her head, and saw Qiao Yunhua standing behind her with an unsteady breath, and despite trying her best to control it, she could still feel that her breathing was too rapid.

The two met for the first time since the last time they parted ways, and Shen Qiangrose couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and she was nostalgic for the old things, so she just hurriedly greeted him and turned away.

Qiao Yunhua grabbed her arm without the slightest hint of guilt, and said, "It's been so long, haven't you been angry?" ”

Shen Qiangrose saw that his demeanor was abrupt, and he didn't even care about his usual gentlemanly demeanor, and was about to ask, when he saw a team of guards running over quickly, and when he looked at him like this, he was all stunned.

The leader was Su Qibai's attendant He Chaoming, and when he saw this, he smiled meaninglessly and said, "Grandma, Young Master Qiao, why don't you two go to the front hall, why are you chatting in this secluded place?" ”

Shen Qiangrose saw that they were serious in their expressions, and each of them was holding a spear, as if they were chasing someone, and when she went to look, she saw that Qiao Yunhua let go of her hand, and slowly brushed the broken snow on her forehead, and said, "Our brother and sister haven't seen each other for more than a month, and we have a lot to say, does Captain He even have to ask about this?" ”

Shen Qiangrose turned her eyes to look at him, and saw that his handsome face was always calm, but it was too calm, and she couldn't help but have a little more flaws.

He Chaoming walked over slowly, his sharp gaze swirling on him, but his tone was light, "These are the private affairs of your brothers and sisters, so naturally I won't ask about them." I just don't know how long you've been here? ”

Qiao Yunhua said calmly: "We just came over." ”

"Together?"

Shen Qiangrose saw that He Chaoming's eyes fell on Xiaozhu, so she said lightly: "They came together, just now my brother said that he had just ordered a batch of diamonds from the United States, asked me what I wanted, and said that he would ask a craftsman to make a necklace for me." ”

Although Xiaozhu said that he was scared in his heart, he still nodded calmly when he saw He Chaoming's eyes blazing. Qiao Yunhua hooked the corners of her lips, and a hint of a smile appeared, like a spring breeze, like a peach blossom blooming in spring.

He said, "Sister, I will definitely give you a unique necklace." ”

Naga Chaoming's face had already changed, and he waved his hand casually, and the accompanying guards had already rushed out to other places. He set his eyes on Shen Qiangrose and said, "Auntie, I won't tell you, this time the handsome married the seventh aunt and entered the mansion, because of the large number of guests, he actually made a thief and stole it to the second son's study." ”

After a pause, he turned his gaze to Qiao Yunhua, "The two of you just came over, did you see anyone with suspicious appearances?" ”

Shen Qiangrose straightened out the ins and outs at this time, and seeing that she was being used by Qiao Yunhua this time, she was indignant in her heart. But since he has helped him lie, he has to hide it to the end.

He said: "I haven't seen anyone, Captain He might as well go to the back to look for it, this place is not far from the main hall, if there are really thieves coming here, it is impossible not to alarm the guards." ”

He Chao knew that he couldn't ask anything, but when he saw Qiao Yunhua smiling calmly, he couldn't help but pause and said, "Farewell." ”

It wasn't until he left through the moon gate that Shen Qiangrose glanced at Xiao Zhu, and couldn't say anything at the moment, so he turned around and walked towards the main hall.

Qiao Yunhua followed silently, until he reached the main hall, he saw a group of people in Wuyang, Shen Qiangrose walked in uneasy, and heard Qiao Yunhua say, "Thank you." ”

She didn't look back, but whispered, "What did you do this time?" Forget it, after all, we are not all the way, you don't have to tell me your purpose, I don't have the intention to save you, you don't have to thank me. ”

Because of the noisy voice, only Qiao Yunhua, who was nearby, heard her words, he turned his head to look at her, and saw that her thin lips were pursed, her cheeks were crimson, and she was indescribably smart and beautiful.

He whispered, "I know you've always spoken with prickliness, and if you're willing to speak softly, you'll be even more beautiful." ”

Seeing him so frivolous, Shen Qiangrose snorted and walked to the side. Qiao Yunhua said: "Miss Shen, sometimes I really don't know what to do with you, your soft and hard temperament really makes me want to stop." ”

Shen Qiangrose listened to him more and more disagreeable, I am afraid that someone with a heart listened, and happened to see a group of flowery women coming over, and she paused.

At this time, the play had already sung more than halfway, and when the wives of these high-ranking Soviet officials saw her, they greeted her one after another and said good things and tried their best to flatter.

Shen Qiangrose had to cheer up and deal with it, these Soviet military ladies were all human spirits, and they knew that this seventh young aunt was very favored, so they naturally had to be petty. While saying that he wanted to send some supplements, he said a lot of irrelevant words, so he chatted like this, and he didn't disperse for a long time.

She was perfunctory at will, and when she turned around and saw Qiao Yunhua who didn't know where she went, she couldn't help but put her mind at ease, raised her eyes to look, and saw Han Guan'er walking over surrounded by a group of female dependents, smiling at everyone elegantly, her lips were full of crimson, and that kind of charming style was completely different from before.

She said, "It seems that your aunt and grandmother seem to be living well. ”

These Soviet military ladies knew that Shen Qiangrose and her were cousins, and understood that the two of them had a deep relationship, and seeing that they had something to say, they went away in turn with a relaxed expression.

Shen Qiangrose didn't want to see her again, but in such an embarrassing identity. Thinking about the past, I just feel that time flies by, obviously we grew up together, but now there are only strangers left.

She thought about the time Han Guan'er admitted to poisoning her mother in the past, and finally realized that it was Yun Qing who was hiding around her to poison her, as well as Yun Qing's sentence, "If it weren't for Han Guan'er, Shen Qiangrose would have died long ago." ”

She felt a pain in her heart, and couldn't help asking, "Why did you marry Su Yubai?" ”

Han Wan'er smiled lightly and said, "I want to marry the third son, but unfortunately I don't have the same life as you." ”
