Where would Shen Qiangrose think that there was such a big dislike between father and son, and between brothers, she thought about it and said softly: "Third son, I won't tell you, I married into the Su family, and half of my thoughts were to revenge Shengbai, but I understand that I am a chess piece in his hands, which step he lets me go, which step will I become an outcast." I want to cross the river by feeling the stones, but I can't find out how deep the water is, you are his son, you know best what kind of person he is, it is not easy to push him. ”

Su Ziyu nodded, "I know, the most important thing now is not him, but his chess pieces, have you ever played chess?" That's the truth. ”

As the two were talking, they saw Su Fangfei open the curtain and come in, "I'm really sorry, third brother, I occupied your private room." ”

Shen Qiangrose looked towards the door, and saw Qiao Yunhua standing at the door, with a flirtatious smile on her face, "Sister, I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you haggard like this?" Are you getting better? ”

Su Fangfei glared at him, "Is your brother too unreliable?" It's been a few days since Rose was sick, and you only now think of condolences? I think you're used to gags all day long, and you don't have any seriousness. ”

Shen Qiangrose listened to her accusation, and said, "I'm already fine, thank you brother for your concern." ”

Qiao Yunhua said: "Although my brother is incompetent, the tonic will definitely not fall, I will send someone to the Overseer's Mansion this morning, sister don't forget to eat." ”

Shen Qiangrose glanced at him, and saw him raise his eyebrows frivolously, and she nodded knowingly. I heard Su Fangfei say: "I forgot, Rose and Young Master Qiao knew each other in the past, right?" ”

Shen Qiangrose was afraid that she would be jealous and eat on her head, thinking that she was fortunate not to be engaged to Qiao Yunhua at that time, and only the people of the two families knew about their blind date, if it was made public at that time, it would really not end well now. She said indifferently: "My father and Uncle Qiao are old friends. ”

When she said this, she didn't mean to hide anything, but she said it so concisely that she could save a lot of unnecessary misunderstandings.

Qiao Yunhua laughed, "At that time, I said that I would accept Rose as my sister, and now that she has really become my sister, I am a little unaccustomed to it." ”

Su Fangfei heard him joke, so she said, "It's really not serious at all, Rose, let's go." ”

It wasn't until she got into the car that Su Fangfei whispered, "Rose, I'll take you out to find Qiao Yunhua today, don't tell your father." ”

Shen Qiangrose nodded, and Su Fangfei grabbed her hand enthusiastically, "My family doesn't know about Qiao Yunhua yet, so don't mention it to Lao Qi." ”

Shen Qiangrose saw that she had a sweet joy on her face that couldn't be hidden, and couldn't help but say, "Sixth sister, Qiao Yunhua is very attentive and has many girlfriends." ”

Su Fangfei knew that she was thinking about herself, so she said, "How can those women compare with me? He naturally wants to choose the best, and I am destined to be the best. ”

After returning to the main room, Shen Qiangrose called Liu's mother, "What about the things Qiao Yunhua sent?" ”

Liu's mother ordered someone to move several large boxes in turn, because they had been checked before leaving the house, so the wooden boxes were all open. Shen Qiangrose took the gift list and saw that it was full of rare supplements. Mother Liu said: "Miss, the messenger who delivered the things specially instructed, saying that the bird's nest here is all the best blood bird's nest, and it is a big supplement, I have already ordered someone to pick the hair, and I will stew a cup for you in a while." ”

Shen Qiang Rose gave a random sigh of gratitude, picked out all the things in the box, and sure enough, a small note was turned out in the mezzanine of the wooden box, she opened it and looked at it carefully, and it was written on it - spices to help you sleep.

Shen Qiangrose hid the note on her body, rummaged through the box again, and found a packet of spices. She thought that her second aunt liked to burn some rouge spices the most, and when she got closer and smelled it carefully, it was a fragrant floral fragrance, she thought about it, and she didn't realize that she had an idea.

Originally, the second aunt's condition was a little slow, but she had been working too hard recently and fell ill in bed again. When it was evening, Shen Qiangrose changed her clothes, smeared spices on her sleeves, and went to the second room. When the second aunt saw her coming, she said, "Why did you come here so late?" ”

Shen Qiangrose sat aside and said, "I heard that my aunt is sick again, so I'll come to see you." ”

There was a very elegant fragrance in the nose, and the second aunt said: "It smells so good, what kind of fragrance is it?" ”

Shen Qiangrose said: "It's agarwood mixed with other incense, all of which are sleep-aiding incense, I haven't slept well recently, and I have to burn some at night, which really works." Second aunt likes? Then I'll send some tomorrow. ”

The second aunt was very sensitive to the aroma, and when she saw that Shen Qiangrose was burning herself, she didn't think about anything else, so she said, "Okay." ”

Shen Qiangrose said a few more words to her, and then she saw Xi'er come in to report and said, "Auntie, the adjutant of the seventh young man is waiting for you at the door, and he said that he wants to find you." ”

Shen Qiangrose thought that something should have happened, so she hurriedly said goodbye to her second aunt and walked out of the courtyard quickly. Seeing Lin Ning waiting at the door, her face was a little solemn, and she asked, "Is something wrong?" ”

Lin Ning took a few steps forward, and Shen Qiang Rose knew that this was not the place to speak, so she followed quietly. Until the verandah, Lin Ningfang said respectfully: "Madam, Gu Xuanqing was shot in the shoulder, and his life is not in danger, and he needs to be kept in the hospital for observation now." Qi Shao has suppressed the news, but the attitude of the north has not yet been clarified, and Qi Shao can't leave. He also asked his wife to attend on his behalf tomorrow to receive other special envoys from the North. ”

Shen Qiangrose heard it in a fog, she knew that Gu Xuanqing's assassination was very tricky, and if it was not handled well, it would provoke civil strife between the two parties. Su Shengbai's reputation in the country in recent years has been too high, which has already caused dissatisfaction in the north, and now that such a thing has happened, I am afraid that the north will take the opportunity to send troops.

She thought about Su Huiyi's current situation, but she was afraid that this assassination was not so simple, she was originally accompanied by a high degree of protection, and the location was extremely secret...... Now that I think about it, it can only be an internal conspiracy.

At this moment, she couldn't help thinking too much, so she nodded, "How about Qishao?" ”

Lin Ning said: "When Gu Xuanqing was assassinated, Qi Shao was also shot, Pan Qingyan blocked a shot for Qi Shao, Qi Shao is very safe, please rest assured." ”

Where could Shen Qiangrose have thought that the trend of the situation would become like this, she thought that Lin Ning, as Su Huiyi's confidant, still had a lot of miscellaneous matters to deal with, so she didn't ask, only nodded and said, "You go quickly." ”

On the second day, Lin Ning came to pick up Shen Qiangrose, and this kind of reception was just a simple entertainment, and we took a look at the humanities together. Shen Qiangrose didn't feel anything, but she was worried about Gu Xuanqing's injury in her heart, and she felt a little uneasy.

The weather was much warmer than before, the snow was gradually melting, but the wind was still cold, faintly carrying rain, and the sky was gray.

The car drove out of the Overseer's Palace, drove along the outskirts, exited the safe zone, and didn't go far before the sentry was sighted. When they arrived on the street, they took three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, and put the entire street under martial law.

All the way to the Guofu Hotel, there were rows of guards guarding the door, and Liu Tairan, the chief of staff of the city defense who was in charge of the reception work, was already waiting outside. ”

Shen Qiangrose saw that he deliberately omitted the second lady and called her wife directly. Thinking that these subordinates were hindering her face, she was very careful in her words. She nodded, and Liu Tairan said, "Madam, Qishao means that you just need to show up and make a show." ”

Shen Qiangwei sighed, muttering in her heart, I don't know what kind of play is being sung today, but the protagonist is not there, and the play is naturally not much to look at.

Liu Tairan led Shen Qiangrose in, Guofu Hotel has always received state guests, so the decoration is very gorgeous, the hall is magnificent, the carved jade has both Chinese atmosphere and grace, and Western style is unique, more ingenious, natural.

The Chinese restaurant on the second floor is separated by several independent private rooms, and when you go all the way, you will see that the decoration is extremely elegant, as if entering an old-style ancient building, which is quite ancient and elegant.

There are several celebrity texts hanging in the private room, and the screen inside is painted with Jiangnan water. On that side, there is a pair of large Ru kiln vases, and several winter chrysanthemums of different colors are inserted.

Liu Tairan said: "Madam, the appointed time is half past eleven, and it is just past ten o'clock, do you want to go out for a walk?" The view from the back garden of the Guofu Hotel is nice. ”

Shen Qiangrose thought that it was still early, so she simply got up and went out. She didn't bring a maid with her on this trip, only Fan Zicheng accompanied her, Liu Tairan was naturally trying her best to stammer, Shen Qiangrose has never paid attention to these, and she didn't take them seriously.

Behind the Guofu Hotel is a huge garden, which is all in Chinese style, but due to the limited area, the layout is particularly exquisite, and there are all kinds of rockery and lakes. There are also large red plums blooming one after another, red buds and calyxes adorning the branches, the scenery is charming, and the cold fragrance is fragrant.

Among the plum trees, a path paved with letter stones winds its way to the hexagonal pavilion, where visitors can enjoy the plum blossom vista. Shen Qiangrose saw a man in his twenties sitting in the pavilion, holding a camera in his hand and sounding the shutter in this direction.

Shen Qiangrose saw two men in civilian clothes standing behind him, showing that his identity was not ordinary. Liu Tairan said: "This is the son of the overseer of a province in the north, Chen Muyang. ”

When Shen Qiangrose heard this, she had to go to say hello, so she saw Chen Muyang walking over slowly, until she got closer, smiled before speaking, and greeted her politely.

Shen Qiangrose saw that his attitude was very modest, so she chatted with him casually, Chen Muyang stayed abroad, had a wide range of knowledge, and talked to her about many foreign customs, and her speech and demeanor were typical gentleman's style.

The two talked for a long time, because the place where they stood was not leeward, and it was cool and cool, Shen Qiangrose only felt a headache, so she stroked her forehead.

Fan Zicheng walked over quickly and asked, "Madam, are you okay?" ”

Shen Qiangrose shook her head, took out her pocket watch from her handbag, and saw that it was still early, and she was afraid of being sluggish if she wanted to go back, so she had to hold back her discomfort and smiled reluctantly.

Chen Muyang's eyes were sharp, and he recognized at a glance that the pocket watch in her hand was a limited edition of Patek Philippe, he had heard that Su Huiyi was indifferent before he came, but he was very gentle and considerate to his second wife, and now he saw her full style, and she was accompanied by Su Huiyi's cronies, which showed her importance.
