Coming out of Rao Anyuan, Pei Yaowei and Jiang Lianyue walked the same way for a while, and then went their separate ways back to their residences.

Xiao Di came back late that day, and when he entered the door, it was already the middle of the moon outside the window.

"Did you stay in the suburbs of Beijing in the past two days, did you delay anything? How did you get so busy? ”

She put on a middle coat and gave him a bowl of white fungus soup, but Xiao Di didn't have much appetite.

He leaned on the Luohan couch under the window, beckoned to Pei Yao, and pulled the person closer.

When Pei Yaowei saw his face, her heart sank.

"Anyway," she said helplessly, "what's going on?" ”

He raised his eyes to look at her, and only after a while did he say, "Two things." ”

Pei Yao raised her eyebrows, "Well, this is really a blessing, and the disaster is not a one-way street." She lifted her chin and asked, "What is the matter, let me hear it." ”

Xiao Di sighed and held her hand lightly, "There is a secret report from the southern border, there is a rabble, in the name of the old Pan clan, entangled a group of people, and I am afraid that there will be turmoil recently. ”

"Now that I know about this here, Li Bai's Secret Guard Division is estimated that it will not be left behind, but I don't know later...... Who will Xiao Chahui send to lead the troops south to quell the chaos. ”

Pei Yaowei paid attention to his demeanor, thought for a while, and said, "Actually, the military affairs in the southern border, no matter how you calculate it, are the most suitable to be handed over to the Shen family. The partial brother-in-law has no quarrel and is easy to escape from the world...... It depends on what you mean, are you worried that Xiao Zhu is not a person, or are you afraid that he will transfer you over? ”

Xiao Di smiled unintentionally and said casually: "If he really transferred me over, it would be better." ”

"Oh...... I see. She said, "There are only a few generals that can be used in the DPRK and China, who are you worried about going south?" ”

After some thought, she tentatively asked for a name: "...... Xiang Tao? ”

Xiao Di didn't speak, just looked at her deeply.

Pei Yao panicked.

"Xiangjia...... What's going on? ”

She always felt that Xiao Di already knew something, but she hadn't told herself yet.

"What the hell is wrong with the Xiang family......" He pinched the corners of his eyes and sighed, "The second thing I want to tell you......

In fact, after the news of Jingying's death came before, I asked Mo Yan to send someone to the Huan family's hometown. ”

Hearing this, Pei Yao unconsciously tightened her fingers, "What did you find out?" ”

"Yaowei, do you know that Mrs. Shen, from beginning to end, has never returned to the so-called 'mother's house' at all."

"What?!"

Pei Yaowei let go of the hand she was shaking with him, and Huo Ran stood up, but the initial surprise passed, and after a while, she thought about it again, was she really surprised by this answer?

…… No.

She wasn't surprised.

"I've always thought there was something strange about this, but ......," she thought as she sat down again, "but if she hadn't returned to Huan's house...... Why did Xiang Tao deliberately make up such a thing? What is he doing this for? ”

"What do you want?" Xiao Di smiled faintly and asked, "Since you and I got married at the beginning of last year, you haven't seen Mrs. Shen again, right?" ”

Pei Yao looked at him stunned.

He added, "Or, since then, no one has seen Mrs. Shen again. ”

"What do you mean......" her eyes were tangled and horrified, "Xiang Tao made up such a thing to cover up?" ”

Xiao Di raised his eyebrows and said nothing.

Pei Yao thought about it for a long time, she knew what Xiao Di was referring to behind these words, but those days in the Jiyang County Mansion made her unable to agree with his speculation.

“…… However, Xiang Tao ...... How could he do that? She was a little anxious, "If it was someone else, it would be fine, but it would be Shen Tingru!" Do you remember that when Mrs. Zuo murdered Xiang Fang, she blamed me, and Xiang Tao was furious, and she came up to kill me to pay for his little daughter's life?

…… And that time, as I told you, in order to hook up Mr. Yiyuan, Chao Rong asked Mrs. Shen to be poisoned by the colorful frog, and that time Xiang Tao's expression in front of her sickbed...... When I think about it now, I'm afraid you didn't treat me like that! ”

"Tsk......" Xiao Di was not happy when he heard this, straightened up, stretched out his hand and flicked it on her head, "Why are you so conscienceless?" ”

Pei Yao brushed away his hand, "Oh, okay, okay, you'd better not be able to!" …… I'll just say that, you know what I mean! ”

"One, I really can't believe that Xiang Tao will be bad for Mrs. Shen, and second, even if there is really a ...... Then you say, he is a dignified county prince and a noble minister, and this is a matter in the courtyard of his own house, why did he pull out such a big lie and hide it like this? ”

Xiao Di said: "I didn't say that Mrs. Shen must have met an accident. ”

Pei Yao frowned and looked at him suspiciously.

He paused and guessed: "Perhaps, did she know something and secretly left the Prime Minister's Mansion?"

Xiang Tao was reluctant, wiped her identity, and didn't dare to make a big deal about it, except for trying her best to hide it, I'm afraid there is no other way. ”

Pei Yaowei was slightly stunned, returned to his senses and tasted the product carefully, but felt that this guess was very reasonable.

"If that's the case...... she exhaled heavily, "with her temperament, I'm afraid that only if it's about the year and the brother-in-law, can she be asked to take this step." ”

But what can Mrs. Shen know?

Was it that Xiang Tao had made an appointment to meet Zhao Xian before he disappeared?

Still is......

Seeing that she was silent in thought, her eyebrows and eyes were deep for a while, Xiao Di squeezed her hand and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

"I want to ......" Pei Yao pondered for a moment, turned his head to look at him, and spit out two words neatly: "Provincial relatives." ”

As soon as this idea popped up, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of dreams at night, and Pei Yaowei went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to report the letter the next day and began to arrange it. Xiao Di originally had the intention to stop her, but because of the matter of Zhao Xun, he knew that she would not give up willingly, so in desperation, he had no choice but to go with her.

"I said in advance, you go to the Prime Minister's Mansion this time, no matter how things are investigated, I will only give you five days."

Xiao Di sat on the side, watched her pack up her things, and instructed word by word: "If you don't come back after five days, I will personally go over and tie you up." ”

Pei Yao couldn't cry or laugh, "I know, how many times have you said this since last night?" It's almost a broken mouth! ”

She originally felt that five days was not enough to do anything, and she wanted to have a coquettish relationship with him and discuss the situation for a few more days, but seeing his posture, she didn't dare to speak, for fear that she would not be able to ask for more, and if she cut it for a few more days, it would be worth the loss.

"You're annoying me?" He got up and walked behind her and stopped the person by the waist, "Then you wait, there will be a chance to make you annoy me even more in the future." ”

The two of them were tired of crooked for a while, Pei Yao sorted out her thoughts, and said, "Eh, when I come back from the Xiang family, there are some things that should be told to me, just tell me, right?" ”

The man behind him was silent for a moment.

“…… Well. He sighed softly, put it to her ear, and promised, "Tell you all." ”

On the day Pei Yao arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xiang Yao led people to greet him in front of the mansion.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, but the second brother has always been good?"

She got out of the car, took a look at Xiang Yao, and talked to each other in harmony.

"Princess Lao, everything is fine." Xiang Yao said, leaned sideways, and invited her into the door.

The two walked to the house one after the other, Xiang Yao lowered his voice, and said to her with a smile: "Father went to Yuze Palace to see the driver, Chang Chu also has an errand today, only I, an idler, are waiting for the princess at home, if there is anything wrong, please forgive me." ”

Pei Yao glanced at him and chuckled: "Second brother is so polite, but he treats me as an outsider!" ”

Xiang Yao snorted and said: "The water spilled by the girl who got married, I want to treat you as my own family, but I'm afraid that the Xiao family will not agree." ”

After a while, his expression was slightly straightened, and he asked, "Anyway, what are you doing here?" ”

Pei Yaowei was crisp and neat: "Provincial relatives." ”

Xiang Yao glanced at her, snorted softly, and stopped talking.

In Xiangyu's old residence, Xiangfang has been waiting there for a long time.

"Sister, sister!" As soon as she saw Pei Yao enter the door, she ran towards the person with two small short legs, hugged the person's thigh when she got close, and raised her head and shouted: "Sister is back!" Fang Shi misses you so much......"

Pei Yao's heart was so soft that she rubbed the little girl's face and said, "Good girl, my sister misses you too!" ”

Seeing this scene, Xiang Yao's heart that wanted to ask her a few words also faded, so she played with Fang Shi, and only said: "I heard that you are coming back, Chang Chu has deliberately stared at people in the past two days to clean up your small courtyard inside and out, you see, if there is anything you are not satisfied with, send someone to tell me." ”

As he spoke, he patted Fang Shi on the top of his head, "Fang Shi, play with my sister and don't fight." ”

Fang Shi responded with a smile, saying that he was a good boy, so he would not bully his sister.

After Xiang Yao finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Pei Yaowei looked at his back, and suddenly called: "Second brother,"

Xiang Yao turned around when he heard the sound and looked at her suspiciously.

Pei Yao snorted lightly, with a hint of mystery in her eyes, "I haven't seen you for a long time, how do I think...... Are you much more cheerful than you used to be? ”

It's not about words and deeds, it's just the color of your demeanor...... She saw it in her eyes, and only felt that he was obviously much more stretched than in the past.

Xiang Yao was obviously stunned, "...... Really? ”

"Yes, yes!" Before Pei Yaowei could speak, Xiang Fang clapped his hands and rushed to say: "Sister, the second brother has been so happy these days, I have seen him snickering many times!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Xiang Yao couldn't hold it on his face, and immediately said with a tiger face: "Stinky girl, what are you talking nonsense!" ”

Xiang Fangshi pursed his lips aggrievedly and muttered: "Fang Shi didn't talk nonsense, is the second brother just very happy......

Xiang Yao said something ridiculous, then flicked his sleeves and left in a hurry.

As soon as he went out with his front foot, Qingchen's hind foot came to Pei Yao's ear, and said with a smile: "Niangniang, the tips of the second son's ears are red!" ”

Pei Yao couldn't hold back, laughed, and said in her heart, isn't it.
