Chapter 166: Night Meeting

Wu Niang looked at Sun Jinsheng's back and was still angry, but thinking that she could avoid Er Niang's trap and fight back today, it was thanks to this person that she couldn't get angry anymore. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair"

"Third sister, what kind of person do you think he is?" Wu Niang hesitated for a moment, and said with some doubts in her eyes.

Sanniang said lightly: "What kind of person is it and what does it matter?" The key is to see if the heart is right. No matter how gentle and elegant the face is, if the mind is not right, it will also make people avoid it. ”

Wu Niang frowned when she heard this, thoughtful.

Sanniang sighed secretly, turned around and walked away.

Human nature is inherently complex, how can it be so easy to see clearly? Wu Niang can't understand Sun Jinsheng, just as she can't understand Wu Niang.

It was a long time before Sun returned to the hall, confessed to the people present, and was pulled to the table.

A lady was going to change her clothes, so she pulled Yuan Niang to play a few laps for her, and Yuan Niang didn't know how to do this, so she pulled Wu Niang away. Sanniang didn't know this, so she chatted with a group of young ladies one sentence at a time.

Just after talking to Chen Simin, Bai Ying, who was waiting outside, walked in and whispered in Sanniang's ear: "Miss, there is something in the yard, please come out for a while." ”

Sanniang paused when she heard this, then stood up and apologized to a few young ladies: "There is a small matter in the yard, I'll deal with it first." ”

Several young ladies hurriedly said: "It's okay, Miss Wang San is busy first if she has something." ”

Sanniang nodded and took Bai Ying out of the side hall.

There were many people in Songling Courtyard, Sanniang took Bai Ying all the way out of the courtyard, and when she saw that there was no one next to her, she said, "What happened?" ”

Bai Ying looked left and right, then took out a note from her sleeve and handed it to Sanniang: "The slave maid just went to serve tea to the young lady." A general servant suddenly put this in the slave's tea tray. The slave was startled and was about to ask him something, but he ran away. Looking at his clothes, he should be a little servant in the outer court. ”

Sanniang unfolded the palm-sized note, even if it was a vigorous and powerful line of small characters. The font is somewhat familiar: the back corner door of the Listening Pavilion.

"It's Xuan Gongzi." Sanniang was surprised.

The slave had guessed, but she wasn't sure. It's really his slave and maid, so he can rest assured. Bai Ying breathed a sigh of relief: "Miss, are you going?" ”

Tingyin Pavilion is the theater where I watched the play this afternoon, and the back corner door that Xuan Shao said should be the one leading to the inner courtyard of the East Courtyard. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa" Today Yuan Niang is waiting for them to go out from there.

Sanniang nodded: "Naturally, I want to go, you go and arrange it first, if you ask me over there, say that I will go back to Hefeng Courtyard first." The Hefeng Courtyard also asked Agarwood to go back and say hello. ”

Bai Ying hurriedly went. Sanniang waited for her to finish explaining and turned around, and then took her to the east courtyard.

The ladies and ladies who came to celebrate the birthday had not yet left, and they all gathered in Songling Temple. There was no one on the way to the east courtyard, Sanniang and Bai Ying walked all the way, only saw a few mothers-in-law with lamps, and let them avoid them from a distance.

When Sanniang was about to arrive at the corner gate, Sanniang was a little embarrassed, at this time the outer courtyard was crowded, and it stands to reason that someone should have been sent to the corner gate. How could she run out without alerting the janitors? Thinking like this, she admired Erniang a little, how did she secretly run to see Sun Jinsheng last night?

Thinking so, Sanniang's pace slowed down.

"Miss? Do you want the slave to go and get a lamp? Bai Ying looked over suspiciously.

They didn't carry lanterns to keep them from attracting attention. Therefore, although we have reached the corner gate in front, this part of the road is a little dark. Bai Ying thought that Sanniang was not used to walking at night and was afraid.

Sanniang shook her head, although the road they walked was a little dark, there was still moonlight, so that they would not lose their fingers.

Afraid that Bai Ying wouldn't be able to see it, Sanniang was about to speak, but saw a figure coming from the corner gate.

When the man approached quickly, he didn't deliberately slow down, and Sanniang and Bai Ying stopped talking, and only looked at the figure seriously. There was a faint guess in my heart.

Sure enough, when he got closer, the moonlight sprinkled on half of the man's face, and he was very handsome and cold.

The person who came was not Xuan Shao or who.

Sanniang said silently to Xuan Shao, and Xuan Shao nodded.

Sanniang glanced at the corner gate with some curiosity.

"I found someone to send them away temporarily, and there was no one there." Xuan Shao seemed to understand what Sanniang was thinking, and said lightly.

He tilted his head slightly and listened: "There is no one around here. ”

Sanniang thought that he was a martial arts practitioner, and his hearing was very good. I wasn't worried about that, but it was nice to be able to talk like this without worrying about being discovered.

Sanniang nodded: "I heard that Prince Li is here today, so I wondered if you would come too, but I didn't want you to really come." ”

Xuan Shao's cold eyes looked at Sanniang when he heard this, and he was silent for a while and said, "I was thinking about how to send the news to you, and the prince happened to come to Qingcheng County." ”

Sanniang was a little relaxed at this time, so she smiled and said, "Why did the prince suddenly think of coming to Wang's house?" "If she came to attend the Sun family's birthday banquet on purpose, Sanniang would not believe it, the Sun family's face is not so big.

When Xuan Shao heard this, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and he coughed lightly: "Lord Wang, he is here to find Old Lady Wang." The senior monk from the southwest walked with the prince this time, saying that he wanted to ask the old lady about the nine-colored bird. ”

Sanniang was silent, the last time the old lady came back, she took the bird, but the bird ran away halfway. Now the owner of the bird has come to the door.

Xuan Shao was afraid that he would be offended by mentioning Sanniang's elders again, so he changed the topic and said, "The matter you asked me to investigate last time has already been decided. ”

Sanniang was overjoyed when she heard this: "So fast? ”

Xuan Shao saw that Sanniang was happy, and he also had some joy in his heart, but he couldn't help frowning when he thought of the results of his investigation.

"You said that the grandmother who was on an errand in your ancestral hall was found in a ruined temple in the suburbs."

When Sanniang heard this, she immediately said, "But you are still alive?" ”

Xuan Shao nodded: "It's still alive." It's just that when I found her, she was like a frightened bird, and when she calmed down, I questioned her. It was said that Mrs. Liu, who was in the third room of your house, sent someone to let her leave the Wang family, and after leaving the house, two more people came and said that they were sent back on the orders of Mrs., but when she was on the way, she accidentally heard the two people who sent her away saying that they would throw her into the river and drown her, and then create the illusion of falling into the water. ”

"She was frightened when she heard this, so she took advantage of the unpreparedness of the two and fled, and then she did not dare to go to her daughter, but found a place to hide." If he hadn't had a special way to find people, he wouldn't have been able to find the whereabouts of that grandmother so quickly.

Sanniang was secretly shocked when she heard this, could it be that the Liu family mother and daughter still have helpers?

She has secretly inquired about the people who came back with the Liu family this time, except for those who went out of the house, they are nothing more than some maids and women she hired in Datong, all of them are extremely ordinary, and there are no people who need special attention. But how can anyone who can move freely outside the house like this, and who can still do this secret killer thing, be an ordinary person?

In addition to the incident of Wang Bai's fall, although she intuitively felt that this matter had nothing to do with Erniang, but even if Erniang was a boudoir woman, no matter how ruthless she was, what magical powers could she have to do this?

All this bothered Sanniang a little. Because of these unsolved doubts, Sanniang has never figured out the foundation of Liu's mother and daughter. I didn't dare to face Liu and Erniang openly.

Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can one win a hundred battles, and the true strength of Liu's mother and daughter seems to be a little inscrutable. This is also the reason why Sanniang will be determined to let Xuan Shao, an outsider, intervene to help. Because if the other party's power is no longer just in the inner house, then things will be complicated.

"Did you ask what those two looked like? But the people in the house? Sanniang groaned.

Xuan Shao nodded: "She said that they were two women in their forties and fifties, and they said that they went on the orders of Mrs. Liu in the mansion, but she had never seen those two people in the mansion, so she would secretly guard against the two people along the way." ”

Sure enough, it was not a person from the house, Sanniang frowned.

Under the moonlight, Xuan Shao saw Sanniang with some worry on her face, and suddenly felt that such an expression should not appear on that face. People in this world are more bitter and less happy, but Xuan Shao felt that Sanniang should always have a gentle or ridiculous smile on his face, so he frowned unconsciously.

Fifteen or sixteen-year-old boys, no matter how tenacious and decisive they are on weekdays, they lack experience in relationships after all, especially sisters like Xuan Shao, who are not close, rarely have contact with women on weekdays, Sanniang can be said to be the closest woman he is to besides his mother.

So although he felt that his mood was a little strange, he couldn't dissect this mood, but he just had some ignorant happiness and concern, that's all.

If there is enough time, this kind of youthful feelings will naturally ferment and mature over time, or reap sweet and sour happiness, or bear bitter regrets.

It depends on whether God is willing to give it a chance.

"Where is that grandma now?" Sanniang raised her head and said, because Xuan Shao was standing with the moonlight on his back, she could only feel that his gaze seemed to be focused on her, but she couldn't see what he was looking at.

Xuan Shao was somehow a little uncomfortable: "I took her to a safe place. ”

Sanniang nodded: "If it's not troublesome, I'll trouble you to help me take care of her for the time being." ”

Xuan Shao nodded: "In addition, I have also checked the incident where your eldest uncle was injured after falling off the horse." The horse was shot on the spot by the officers who arrived later, and then carried to the yamen. I went to examine the carcass of the horses and found that the horse's back had been stung by a poisonous scorpion where it was covered by the saddle. (To be continued)
