After Xiang Tao left, Pei Yao faded away the sadness she deliberately disguised, and her face calmed down, but it was really a little heavy.

Mirror ......

Speaking of which, although that girl is Xiao Zhu's eyeliner beside her, because she hasn't stayed by her side for a long time, Pei Yaowei can't talk about hating her, and if she says no, it's gone, and she still has some bad feelings in her heart.

"This thing...... Not quite right. ”

Just as she was thinking about it, Xiao Di's words suddenly sounded in her ears, which made her stunned.

"What did you say?"

Xiao Di looked at her, but he didn't speak again, and after taking her hand and returning to the Yuguang Palace, he picked up the previous words: "Regarding Mrs. Huan, Xiang Tao probably has something to hide. ”

At this point, the two thought of going together. Pei Yao pondered for a moment and asked him, "How likely do you think that girl in the mirror shadow died out of thin air?" ”

Xiao Di smiled faintly and shook his head.

"Probably not." He said, "Think about it, the people sent by the palace died for more than a month, and they only knew that they came to ask for sin—please ask for sin, but Shi Caihuan did not say a lot of words about asking for sin, and there was a sentence mentioning the body of the mirror shadow?" ”

Hearing this, Pei Yao's heart moved.

"yes...... Jingying is not an ordinary slave, her body, the Huan family did not have the courage to burn it without telling her, now at this time, since the corpse cannot be destroyed, it is best to drag it out for a few days, and wait for the corpse to rot and then return to the court. Speaking of this, her brows tightened, becoming more and more nervous: "What could it be?" ”

What did Jingying find in the Huan family? Who's in the way?

Xiao Di thought about it, changed his words, and said, "There is one more thing, you must have doubts for a long time, right?" ”

Facing his eyes, Pei Yao thought about it and understood what he meant.

"What do you mean...... Mrs. Huan? ”

Xiao Di nodded.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Pei Yaowei, there is actually something I haven't had time to tell you. Mrs. Huan ...... It should have been surnamed Shen. ”

After he finished speaking, he saw that the face of the person opposite was calm, and he was not surprised, so the stunned one became him, "You already knew?" ”

Pei Yao raised her eyebrows and slowly bowed her head.

Before she got married, she met Chao Rong and learned all kinds of things about Mrs. Huan's identity, and finally thought about the old incident between Shen Tingru and Zhao Xuan, and she had to sigh again.

"I really didn't expect it at the time - they all said that Xiang Yu was born to miss me, it turns out that there is such a relationship among them."

As she spoke, she asked Xiao Di: "But how did you know about this matter?" ”

He asked her, "Do you remember when I was going to marry you—"

Speaking of this, he was interrupted by Pei Yao's words: "Xiangyu." ”

Xiao Di was stunned and looked at her puzzled.

She raised her chin slightly, pretending to correct him hypocritically: "You are going to marry Xiangyu." ”

Xiao Di couldn't cry or laugh, and after a while, he continued: "Do you remember, when the Zhaoye Temple was fired, I sent you back to Xiang's house early the next morning, and talked to Xiang Tao about courting, he didn't think about it at first, so he rejected me. ”

"Why don't you remember!" As she spoke, she coughed twice, cleared her throat, and repeated exactly what he had said.

"'The four girls of your mansion, Yuanqing Yujie, have both ability and political integrity, Xiao Wang is deeply pleasing to his face, and is willing to be hired as a princess, in order to seek white heads, and hope that the county will be perfected.'" ——”

She glanced at Xiao Di, made a toothless appearance, and said sourly: "Tsk, what nice words!" My dad has never heard of it, but let Xiangyu's cheap dad listen to it all! ”

"Then I'll take you back to Shaofang next time, let's go to my father-in-law's grave, and I'll say something a hundred times more numb than this, okay?" As he spoke, he did not forget to emphatically mention: "And I also promise that I am sincere." ”

"Okay!" Pei Yao slapped the table, "I can write it down for you, if you dare to repay the debt, I will send you directly to see my father." ”

The two joked a few words, and finally turned the conversation back, and Xiao Di told her that the first reason why Xiang Tao changed his mind and agreed to marry Xiang Yu to him was that he told him Mrs. Shen's true identity and Xiang Yu's real life experience.

"He's been hiding this secret for all these years, and it's really painstaking." Xiao Di said, "The Duke of Jiyang County has always been cautious, I have seen him apprehensive in the past, but I have never seen him frightened and stunned. But at that time, after listening to my words, he was really scared and surprised. ”

Pei Yao's face was moved, and after a while, he sighed lightly: "It's just anything else, just this one - Xiang Tao's affection for Mrs. Shen is really hard to find in the world." ”

She was so embarrassed, she hadn't seen it, but Xiao Di on the side frowned slightly.

After a moment, he suddenly asked: "Do you think that he was coerced by me just because, is he afraid that others will know Shen Tingru's true identity and that the world will know that he raised a daughter for Zhao Jiabai?" ”

Pei Yao was stunned.

Before Xiao Di asked, she really thought so, but since he asked so, it was obvious that the answer would not be so simple.

"What else is the reason?"

He was silent for a while, looked into her eyes, and asked slowly, "Do you know what happened before and after the disappearance of Lingqiu Hou?" ”

Pei Yaowei looked at him, comprehending the meaning behind his words little by little, and when she understood, she got up suddenly, and knocked over the teacup in her hand.

Xiao Di also stood up with her.

"Xiao Di, what are you talking about......" Her face was tangled and incredulous, "My brother-in-law's matter, is it related to Xiang Tao?" ”

He shook his head.

Pei Yaowei just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, but heard him again: "I don't know. ”

She frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

"I don't know if Lingqiuhou's matter has anything to do with him, but at that time, what really scared Xiang Tao and made him relax was because I said that I knew that Lingqiuhou had a meeting with him before he disappeared."

"What?!"

And such a thing?

She was shocked and stupid, and blurted out: "Why have I never heard my family mention it in the past?" ”

Xiao Di was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Yes, if the Pei and Zhao clans know about this, will I still have a chance to coerce Xiang Tao?" ”

Pei Yao came back to her senses and secretly scolded herself for being confused.

She sat down again, thought about it for a long time, and countless possibilities flashed through her mind, and many of them made her feel cold.

"What the hell is going on?" She asked Xiao Di, "How much do you know?" How do you know? ”

Xiao Di sighed and sat down next to her.

"When I went north to become a vassal domain, I had the idea of beating the Zhao family. But the situation at that time was ...... The Zhao family and I are almost mortal enemies. I couldn't go on the bright road, so I secretly asked Yu Hibiscus—" Speaking of this, he asked her, "Do you remember Yu Hibiscus?" ”

Pei Yaowei nodded.

Li Yujin, the daughter of the Li family of Mangyuan, the sister of Li Lian, and the cousin of Xiao Di, is also the wife of Zhao Ju, the Duke of Yasukuni, and was named Mrs. Jingguo.

When this cousin-in-law married into the Zhao family, the sky of Daliang had not yet changed color, and the Li family and the Pei and Zhao clans were still harmonious friends.

Xiao Di continued: "At that time, I asked Yu Jin to help, trying to secretly find the weakness of the Zhao family, so as to use this as coercion - I don't want the Zhao family to be used by me, at least I have to ensure that no matter what happens in the future, Beilin can stick to the family style and be indisputable." ”

Hearing this, Pei Yaowei snorted intentionally and didn't say anything.

"Unexpectedly, the weakness of the Zhao family has not been found, but it inadvertently brought out this old matter of Lingqiu Hou."

"In the middle of this, I sent a message to the south again, asking Sister A for help, and learned that the daughter of the Shen family actually ran away back then, instead of hanging herself, and followed this line all the way down, back and forth, and finally found the last place of the Shen family girl." He said: "At that time, I understood why the princess of Jiyang County favored the concubine like this, but he didn't like to see the first daughter born to this concubine. ”

Hearing this, Pei Yaowei laughed meaninglessly twice.

"As for the side of Lingqiu Hou before his disappearance, he was with Xiang Tao—" he said, "Yu Hibiscus only learned through the mouth of Lingqiu Hou's old attendants that Xiang Tao had invited him to meet, and the time was just a few days before and after Lingqiu Hou's disappearance. I originally had doubts in my heart, and it was difficult to determine whether they had seen each other or not, but that day I made a risky move in front of Xiang Tao and deceived him, but I never thought that I would cheat the truth like this. ”

After he finished saying everything, Pei Yaowei was silent for a long time, and the whole person was much duller.

He couldn't bear it in his heart, and said: "When the Lingqiu Marquis happened, you were only five years old, I thought you were ...... to him."

She knew what Xiao Di meant, shook her head and said, "I really don't have any impression of my uncle. If you really want to say it, it's just that through his relics, I have some longing for his medical skills and personality. As she spoke, she looked up at him and said, "The reason why I'm sad, why I'm ...... I don't want to accept it because of Xiang Tao. ”

"Him?"

Pei Yaowei nodded.

"After hearing what you said, a possibility was born in my mind." She looked at Xiao Di, "Do you know what it is?" ”

Xiao Di's eyes were complicated, and after a while, he nodded.

They all understood that if Xiang Tao had had a meeting with Lingqiu Hou before his disappearance, then it was very possible that there was anything else besides this side.

"I always thought that he was all kind to Mrs. Shen. I thought that the Duke of Jiyang County was a human being...... It's really cautious and decent. ”

But if Zhao Pai's incident is related to him, that is to say, before all the kindness, he was ashamed of Shen Tingru first.

"And he's not ......"

Not a good guy.

If the morality is like this, it is most likely the worry of the country. And he ......

Pei Yao's eyes were much deeper, and his heart was suffocated, "He is the father of Dai and Changchu!" ”

If he does not submit, how much will his children be implicated?

Thinking of this, she shook her head violently, avoiding and reluctant to think about it.

"Don't think about it yet." Xiao Di said, "Now everything is still unclear, maybe the last thing that should happen will not be the worst possibility." ”
