Chapter 248: Restoration (2)

Xichao's efficiency is really high, but in two days, I found out that this Zhiyan girl was ransomed from Fenghua Xueyue Building a year ago, and now she is living in Maoyan Hutong in Beifang. The people who live there are ordinary people, who are not rich or poor, and belong to the most ordinary category.

"She lives alone?" Shen Wan asked.

"No, there is a maid, two mothers-in-law, and a baby in swaddling clothes. According to neighbors, her man was a businessman who was doing business outside the country and had only returned once in a long time. Even when I came back, it was at night, and I never saw a real person. ”

The smile on Shen Wan's lips deepened a little, and she said to Xi Chao: "You prepare a gift for me for the child, and I will visit Miss Zhiyan in the afternoon." ”

I was puzzled, but when I saw Shen Wan's calm eyes, I had to agree.

The gift to the child is simple, a gold collar, a longevity lock, and the other two purses contain gold and melon seeds. When it was ready, Shen Wan asked the nurse to watch the child at home, and she took Qingyue into the carriage and went to Maoyan Hutong.

When she arrived at the address given by Xi Chao, Shen Wan got out of the car, Qingyue knocked on the door, and it was an old woman who opened the door, and asked herself who she was looking for in confusion. Shen Wan smiled: "I'm looking for your hostess, and I know her as an old acquaintance." ”

The woman looked her up and down, Shen Wan was dressed in fashion, with a fiery red fox fur around her neck. I thought that Xu was Zhiyan's former sister? But looking at Shen Wan's beautiful and powerful appearance, it doesn't look like it. Sideways to let them in, the mother-in-law went in to find Zhiyan.

Zhi Yan was wondering, the original sisters didn't know who they lived here, who could it be? When I came out to take a look, I was stunned: "Yes...... It's you! You ......"

Shen Wan nodded at her and said with a smile: "Zhiyan, I haven't seen you for a long time, have you always been good?" ”

As soon as she returned to King Yi's mansion, Xi Chao came out to greet her in a very anxious manner, helped her to get off the carriage and looked left and right, and said: "I really deserve to let you go like this, I only knew that you came back and were ambushed by assassins!" If you want to go out in the future, you must bring enough guards. I just transferred the people from the Tiger Camp to take care of your safety. ”

Shen Wan only said that there was nothing wrong, and then asked, "How is the investigation of the assassin's affairs?" ”

Xi Chao said that this matter had been handed over to Lao Shi, and he didn't know, but according to Lao Shi's personality, if he didn't find out those assassins and peel them off, he wouldn't give up. I asked her how she went to find Miss Zhiyan today.

Shen Wan smiled and said, "It's very smooth, you help me make an appointment with Liu Zhao another day, just say that you invite him to dinner, and I will go to see him when the time comes." ”

Xichao asked uneasily: "Are you sure to convince him?" He's not a nice guy to get along with! Today, the fourth brother almost turned his face with him, and he has already teamed up with someone to wait for death! The fourth brother is not good at getting into too stiff trouble with the ministers of the imperial court, so he ......"

Shen Wan squeezed his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm measured, there is a group of people under each of the three subordinates, Zhou Xiang is facing me, Wu Xiang is the grass on the wall, and he is rich and easy to do." This Liu Zhao ...... Hum! I'll talk about it when I've seen it! ”

Xi Chao said: "Since you are sure, then I will invite him out." ”

Shen Wan smiled at him and said, "Thank you." ”

Xi Chao was stunned for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Why do you bother...... So polite? You would never have done this to me before. ”

Shen Wan's heart suddenly had mixed feelings, and she herself knew that when she came back this time, she and Xichao were really separated. Even though Zhao'er is his flesh and blood, she "designed" it. She won't tell him and she can't tell him! She doesn't value herself anymore, everything is for the sake of the child, she can't risk the child.

Trying to stabilize his mind, he said with a smile: "What are you talking about, I've been out for a while, I haven't seen the child for so long, I'm really worried about it, let's go, you go with me to see the child!" ”

Xi Chao smiled and said, "That's it, it's better if I don't go, Zhao'er cried when she saw me, and I don't know why." ”

Shen Wan also felt strange, if it was really as Xichen said, the father and son were connected, then it should be the heart of the dynasty!

"Actually, you and Nika, why don't you have a child?" Shen Wan asked.

Xi Chao opened his mouth, did not answer, paused, and said with a smile: "How can this matter be said accurately?" Go back quickly, lest Zhao'er not see you crying again. ”

Shen Wan nodded at him, and also remembered Zhao'er in her heart, so she left.

As soon as she left, Nika came out and said coldly to Xi Chao: "I really want to tell her that you haven't touched me so far, where is the child!" However, telling her made her proud! Hum! ”

When Xi Chao saw her, he frowned, turned and left.

Nika seemed to have gotten used to his attitude, so she ignored it and went about her own thing.

The next day, Xi Chao made an appointment with Liu Zhao to have dinner in the "Fu Man Building", Liu Zhao didn't want to be in secret with the prince in the past, but after all, Xi Chao had been an assistant for three months, and Liu Zhao had some friendship, so Liu Zhao agreed.

When they arrived at the private room, the two sat down politely and served a pot of tea first.

Xichao said straight to the point: "Actually, today's Xiang Qing, to the king's meaning, there is actually a friend who wants to see the adult, but he just rushed forward, I am afraid that the adult will not allow it, so this is the decision." ”

Liu Zhao was puzzled and asked, "Oh? Then I don't know who the prince's friend is? Can the lower officials know? ”

Xi Chao smiled: "Adults naturally know. With that, he clapped his hands three times, and the screen in the private room was removed, and Shen Wan sat on the chair and appeared safely.

Liu Zhao saw that it was her, and got up angrily, but Shen Wan said: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, as an old man, I have a few words I want to ask you for advice." ”

"Between you and me, what is there to say!"

Shen Wan said with a smile: "I heard that the adult has a wife who is sick in bed all the year round, and the adult loves his wife so much that he has never taken a concubine." Even if Mrs. Zun can't extend the heir for the adult, the adult doesn't care, yes or no? ”

Liu Zhao saw that she did not mention the aftermath, and when asked about the chaff at home, he replied: "Yes." ”

Shen Wan said again: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, aren't adults afraid that they will not have the face to see their ancestors and ancestors after death?" ”

Liu Zhao was furious, pointed at her and said, "You ......"

Without waiting for him to scold, Shen Wan hurriedly said: "But now there is nothing to be afraid of adults, Miss Zhiyan has given birth to Lin'er for adults, and adults are expected to succeed incense lanterns, and they will not be sorry for the ancestors of the Liu family!" It's a pity that Zhiyan is only an outer room, even if she gives birth to a child, she can't enter the Liu family's ancestral hall, it's a pity, it's a pity! ”

Liu Zhao was already sweating when he heard this, but he didn't believe that Shen Wan would know everything, and said in a deep voice: "This official doesn't know what you mean!" What Zhiyan, what Lin'er! ”

Shen Wan took out a jade pendant and said, "This is a token that the adult personally gave to Zhiyan's child, the adult won't not know it, right?" ”

Liu Zhao's face was like ashes, and he asked in a trembling voice, "...... you What happened to Zhiyan and the child! ”
