Zhao Yunlan said, "Ah, that brocade, I won't keep you, I'm going to sleep too." ”

Jin Xi said goodbye and prepared to go back to bed.

It was night, and everyone in the Su family's house was asleep, only the insects under the grass whispered, and from time to time mosquitoes flew past their ears and buzzed.

Su Jinxi was lying on his side on his bed, but he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, and while thinking about what happened after Zhao Yunlan came back just now, he was even more upset when he listened to the buzzing of insects in his ears.

At this time, even the subordinates went back to their dormitories, so Jin Xi got up by herself and simply tied her hair together, didn't dress up much, and got out of bed to go to the back garden to relax.

Jin Xi walked lightly to the back garden.

In the evening of a midsummer night, some warm breeze blew by, and Jin Xi brushed the ends of her hair that had been stirred up by the wind. She looked at the lotus flowers in the pond, which exuded a pleasant fragrance in the pond sprinkled by the moonlight. can't help but sigh at her fate, although it can be said that she has no relatives, but fortunately, she still has her own mother and relatives who can share her worries.

The soft light of the bright moon shone on Su Jinxi's soft and fair face, and the pupils of her bright eyes shimmered like obsidian in the dark night. Jin Xi thought to herself, "It would be nice if time could stop at this moment all the time, there is silence, no hatred, no resentment, and there is no intrigue, deceit." It's a pity that I don't have that kind of fate in this life. ”

At this moment, the sound of the lawn being trampled on behind Jin Xi was heard. "Who is it?" Jin Xi turned back sharply in alarm. The person walked out from behind the rockery, and under the moonlight, her face gradually became clearer, this person was the third lady of the Su family, Shen Mengjun.

Shen Mengjun walked up to Jin Xi unhurriedly, and she said, "It's me, Mengjun." Jin Xi, you can't sleep tonight and want to go out for a walk? ”

Jin Xi relaxed her vigilance slightly, she knew very well how stiff the relationship between the third lady and the eldest lady was, so she could count Shen Mengjun as her ally for the time being.

Jin Xi smiled and said: "Oh, it turned out to be the third lady, I really couldn't sleep so late, but I had nowhere to go, and the house was too stuffy, so I had to go to this courtyard to relax!" ”

Shen Mengjun said to Jin Xi: "Well, it's really uncomfortable to stay in the house. It's always good to come out and take a break. The moonlight tonight is really beautiful, you say yes, Jinxi. ”

Jin Xi echoed and said, "Well, it's really beautiful." I just don't know what the third lady is thinking, and I can't sleep at night? ”

The third lady actually waited for Jin Xi to ask first, and Jin Xi probably knew what the third lady meant, the two of them played Tai Chi, you pushed me over, I pushed over. The third lady said: "I don't have anything on my mind, but I just heard that Sister Jinxi was called by the eldest lady?" We all know what kind of person she is, but she didn't do anything to you today, did she? ”

Jin Xi smiled secretly, inconspicuous under the darkness, "Oh, the third lady is talking about this." "Jin Xi gently neatly fell the yarn embroidered robe" Thank you for the third lady's concern, the eldest lady didn't do anything to me, she just let me study with peace of mind and prepare for the exam of Guihuang Academy, for the sake of the future of the Su family, I should pay attention to this matter. ”

Jin Xi thought to herself, "Hmph, I thought she had some kind intentions for the third lady, but she just wanted to talk to me." When you meet people, you only say three points, and you can't throw away all your hearts. ”

Shen Mengjun frowned slightly, it seemed that she was still very disappointed that she couldn't get some useful information from Jin Xi, she was dreaming about how to bring down Zhao Yunlan now, but she still pretended to be calm. "Oh, that's it. If only you're okay. ”

In order to make it difficult for Shen Mengjun to distinguish the truth of what she said, she pretended to remember suddenly, held her forehead and said, "Oh, by the way, look at my memory, the eldest lady didn't just let me go to drink tea with her today!" ”

Shen Mengjun's expression became full of anticipation again: "Oh? Is that what else is the eldest lady looking for from you? ”

Jin Xi pretended to be very grateful for the eldest lady's reward, so she made a fool of herself: "Today, the eldest lady not only told me to take the exam well!" She also specially instructed me to eat and drink carefully and not to be drugged by thieves again, and then specially gave me a box of sweets. ”

But Jin Ruo knew in his heart that the initiator of everything was Su Jinruo, the daughter of the eldest lady, who knows if they were complicit? Jin Xi is determined to find out in the future.

When Shen Mengjun heard this, he smiled and said, "Oh, that's the case, I thought there was something, it seems that the eldest lady really cares about you." ”

The third lady changed her words: "But...... When she was in front of the old lady before, why didn't the eldest lady think about speaking for you? It is estimated that she also loves her daughter and is carried away, right? But Jinxuan was still punished, wasn't she? ”

The third lady observed Jin Xi's expression: "Jin Xi, I really wronged you and wronged you in this matter, and I feel very distressed by the third aunt." The third lady pretended to be sympathetic and put her hand on Jin Xi's shoulder.

Jin Xi naturally understood what she meant: "I understand what the third lady means, but the thief has not been caught now, and I can't categorically believe that this thing must have been done by Jin Xuan, maybe there are other people who are hindering it, I will be careful." There are also Mrs. Lao who bothered. ”

Jin Xi knew that the reason why the third lady said these words was just to win herself over and stand on the united front with herself, she just wanted to use herself like the eldest lady, the only difference was that the third lady did not want to harm Jin Xi, so for the time being, it could be regarded as a mutually beneficial "ally".

Seeing that the bright moon was gradually dragged down by the invisible big hand of the night, it should be very late at this time, Jin Xi yawned: "Third lady, it's really not early, I have to get up early tomorrow to read the book." ”

When the third lady saw it, she accepted it: "Well, I don't see that it's getting early, and it won't be so stuffy, so I'll go back to the room first." ”

After greeting each other, the two went back to their bedrooms.

Jin Xi was lying on the bed, she knew what would happen next, and now she could only improvise and calculate.

When everything was silent, Jin Xi lay on the couch, his thoughts were chaotic, smelling the incense of the flowers he had lit, and he fell asleep groggyly.

There is still a month left before the exams of Guihuang Academy, and today is also the annual local lighting event.

When it was getting late, Mrs. Su asked Jin Xi, Mrs. Jinruo and others to drink tea together, and then prepared to go to the street to enjoy the lights and flowers together.

The ancestor wanted to tell Jin Xi that he would no longer pursue her faults and reject the rudeness of Bai Chenghao, the ninth prince, and secondly, he wanted to make the atmosphere in the family more harmonious, although she heard that the eldest lady's family and Su Jinxi were at odds, but she didn't think about so many deep-seated problems.
