Chapter Forty-Three: Both of Us Are Counted!

…… Yuan Xuexu finally listened to her brother's admonition, and came out of the front hall to find Song Yixiao, but saw that the hall was empty, only Song Yixiao and Jian Xubai sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was weird.

She was surprised and asked, "Why is there no one to serve you?" ”

"Ji Su dropped his things, and he went out to help find them." Song Yixiao was still under pressure in the end, silently swallowed a mouthful of blood, and took back the okra topaz pendant.

- This will be depressed beyond description, seeing Yuan Xuecao come out, I can't wait to leave quickly, lest I continue to face Jian Xubai, I can't help but punch him!

So he got up as he spoke, "I've been looking for so long, it should be about the same." It's best for Sister Yuan to come out, let's go out and have a look? ”

Jian Xubai also waited for a long time, and put down the tea bowl when he heard the words: "I'll go find Xue Pei, you see Ji Su talking to him!" ”

After going their separate ways, Yuan Xuexu asked, "He didn't embarrass you, right?" ”

It's too embarrassing, okay?

But can he say anything that is difficult for him?

Song Yi smiled and swallowed bitter tears, and said against his will: "No." ”

"That's good!" Yuan Xuecao breathed a sigh of relief, "This person is very fierce, I'm afraid that he will bully you too!" ”

She didn't see much with Jian Xubai before, she only knew that she was a good friend of her brother, and she didn't have any other opinions. Since he was scolded by him that time, there are only four words left in my impression of "fierce and arrogant" - I always feel that Jane will bully wherever he goes!

"I heard before that he wanted to be the lord, why is there no news now?" Song Yixiao didn't want to mention Jian Xubai again, but suddenly thought of this, and he really didn't feel at ease if he didn't ask to understand, so he pretended to mention it casually and asked, "I thought that after King Wei gave him the marriage this time, his affairs should also have a holy decree or a decree!" ”

Yuan Xuecao made a silent gesture, took her to find Jinxun, and passed the word to Ji Su, the two of them went to the embroidery building together, and then dismissed the idlers, Fang said: "My brother said that the inside story of this matter still doesn't know, so he simply mentioned it to me - Grandpa Jian is already a very noble minister, if he marries the daughter of a nobleman, wouldn't he be rewarded and sealed?" But how will Your Majesty and the Crown Prince use him in the future? ”

Song Yi smiled and thought about it, but: "Wasn't Grandpa Jian only five years old when he became the prince of the country?" ”

When he was eleven years old, he was rumored to be a would-be pony!

"I had heard the rumor you said in my early years, so when I saw him occasionally, I didn't even raise my head, lest it make people talk about it. But my brother won't tell me the inside story, and I don't know. To her disappointment, Yuan Xuexu pondered for a long time but shook her head, "It's better not to inquire about this matter, after all, my brother will never harm me, and he has never hidden anything from me that I can know." If you don't say it, there must be some taboo in it! ”

"I'm not that curious, but now I'm going to be his wife, if I don't know these inside things, I don't know how to die in the future, okay?" Song Yixiao burst into tears in her heart, but after weighing it repeatedly, she still didn't say anything about it and begged Yuan Xuecao to entangle Yuan Xuepei - after all, the current situation of the Yuan family brothers and sisters is not very good, so don't make trouble for them.

pretended to listen to her persuasion, and turned the topic to Jiang Muyao's marriage: "Sister Jiang's matter, I don't know if I can listen to it?" ”

"My brother can't figure this out for the time being." Yuan Xuecao frowned, "If you hadn't come over and mentioned it today, I wouldn't have known that someone had taken my name and entrusted Mu Yao - but I hope this matter has nothing to do with her not becoming Princess Wei!" ”

She was a little clearer about Jiang Muyao's situation, "Mu Yao and His Royal Highness King Wei are childhood sweethearts, and she really likes His Royal Highness King Wei." This time...... If it really has anything to do with me, I'm afraid she won't want to deal with me in the future! ”

Song Yi smiled bitterly: "I'm worried that this matter has something to do with me!" Otherwise, it's okay to pay it back in your name, why do you want Sister Jiang to take care of me? ”

"But you haven't offended anyone, have you? It's just a Cui Jianlian - how many years ago was it, and everyone was still a child at that time! Yuan Xuecao was puzzled, "As for what she remembered until now?" ”

"Why wouldn't she?" Song Yixiao sneered and told her about the Shangsi banquet, "...... The county lord of Qingjiang didn't want to spoil everyone's interest, and he also wanted to give face to the concubine, the prince and the Cui family, so he suppressed the matter! ”

Yuan Xuexuan said suddenly: "I just said that the Cui family gave the Jiang family a generous gift two days ago, and said that they were grateful to Mu Yao for saving Cui Jianlian at the Shangsi banquet - obviously Mu Yao and Cui Jianlian have the same relationship, they don't play together, how can they save Cui Jianlian in a hurry?" There is such an inside story in the co-author! ”

She frowned, "So, the one who entrusted Mu Yao in my name is Cui Jianlian?" ”

"I don't think so." Song Yi smiled and groaned, "I haven't heard that Cui Jianlian has any grievances with Sister Jiang, but it's the lord of Nanzhang County......"

Speaking of this, he thought thoughtfully, "The cause of what happened that day was that Cui Jianlian's people broke the jade step shake left by Sister Jiang's grandmother, how could Concubine Jiang Xian not see that this was deliberate?" But in the end, Princess Wei still decided to be the lord of Nanzhang, could it be ......"

An idea flashed through her mind, and Song Yi couldn't help but stand up with a smile, "Oops! Both of us are calculated! ”

Yuan Xuecao was stunned and said, "What? ”

"Sister Jiang was acquiesced by His Majesty as early as before the banquet, and she was the princess of Quasi-Wei!" Song Yixiao explained quickly, "But the lord of Nanzhang also wants to be the princess of Wei - although it is said that the princess of the acting country has always been deeply favored, but the marriage of the king of Wei, in the final analysis, is the most reason for the five people to speak: the emperor, the queen mother, the virtuous concubine and the king of Wei himself!" ”

"Sister Jiang's maid Baoying said in person, Your Majesty has promised! In this case, I think the Queen Mother and the Queen should not object to it - Concubine Jiang Xian is Sister Jiang's aunt, so she will not object! As for His Royal Highness King Wei, you also said that he and Sister Jiang are childhood sweethearts! ”

"In this case, if the county lord of Nanzhang wants to get his wish, he can only count on Sister Jiang to make a mistake herself!"

"But Sister Jiang has family protection outside, a virtuous concubine to take care of her inside, and a shrewd Baoying by her side, how can it be so easy to have an accident?"

"Even if she is designed to kill her, if she accidentally falls into the trap, whether it is Concubine Xian or Sister Jiang's family, how can you be willing to give up?!"

"The eldest princess of the acting country and the Marquis of Fuyang are noble, but the Jiang family and the virtuous concubine are not easy to mess with!"

"Especially Concubine Xian is the adoptive mother of King Wei, no matter who Princess Wei is, it is natural to honor her! Even if there is no evidence, once Concubine Xian suspects that the county lord of Nanzhang has cheated Sister Jiang, how can she give the county lord of Nanzhang a good face in the future?! ”

"Therefore, even if you want to harm Sister Jiang, you must harm it reasonably, in short, you can't think of the princess of the acting country! In this way, even if Sister Jiang can't be the princess of Wei, Concubine Jiang Xian and the Jiang family will not be aimed at the lord of Nanzhang! ”

Song Yixiao's face turned pale, "The two of us are the scapegoats they chose!" ”

Yuan Xuecao was stunned: "You mean ......?" ”

"On the day of the banquet, I originally followed Sister Lu Ko'er to Zhanchun Pavilion. Later, Sister Jiang took the initiative to find me, saying that she was entrusted by you to take care of me, and then we were naturally together. Song Yixiao sneered, "Sister Jiang did this, of course, because she believed the words of the messenger - from here, she and I have fallen into a trap!" ”

Because, "when I went to the banquet, I brought a change of clothes skirt and hairpin ring, and when I sent it to the mountainside house, I probably put it with my companions!" ”

Yuan Xuexu suddenly said: "Cui Jian's person deliberately broke Mu Yao's jade step shake, so as to calculate her." But when Concubine Xian pursued it with the Jiang family, she would say that she wanted to break your things, thinking that your makeup box was put together with Mu Yao's, and she took it wrong when she went to do it? ”

"Not bad!" Song Yi smiled and hated, "In this way, the cause of the matter is the grudge between Cui Jianlian and me, but because Sister Jiang was my companion that day, she was involved!" ”

In this way, it has nothing to do with the acting princess and the lord of Nanzhang!

And Cui Jianlian not only successfully completed the entrustment of the county lord of Nanzhang, but also took revenge on Song Yixiao by taking advantage of the anger of the Jiang family and the virtuous concubine - Song Yixiao talked about the banquet, why did Cui Jianlian just stare at Jiang Muyao and never mention himself?

She thought that Cui Jianlian's revenge was just to lure Bao Ying to push herself out to be a scapegoat, but now she knows that she really underestimated this niece of the concubine!

Yuan Xuexu pondered for a moment, still feeling very puzzled: "But hasn't Cui Jianlian's planting been exposed by you in front of the county lord of Qingjiang?" Why is Princess Wei still the lord of Nanzhang? ”

"I just can't figure it out, that's why I'm looking for you." Song Yixiao shook his head, "I guess in the past few days, something must have happened in the middle - I don't know if the two of us were dragged into the water again?" ”

She couldn't help but secretly rejoice that as soon as she heard that Princess Wei was the lord of Nanzhang, she immediately came to Yuan's house, and then she broke through the fact that someone pretended to be Yuan Xuexu's name to Jiang Muyao, and went to tell Yuan Xuepei in time - otherwise she would be miserable and don't know why!

"Fortunately, my brother already knows about it." Yuan Xuexu had a headache for a while and had no clue, but she was still optimistic, "Brother will definitely figure it out, and we will be innocent!" ”

You have a clear conscience, but I don't have to!

Song Yi smiled and opened her mouth, but she didn't say it in the end - her grudge with Cui Jianlian was real, based on this alone, Jiang Muyao might not be resentful of her after knowing the truth!

After all, marriage is a lifelong thing, especially Jiang Muyao still really loves King Wei!

Moreover, even if Yuan Xuepei finds out the truth, it may not be a good thing for Song Yixiao.

At the banquet, Bao Ying was just a slave, relying on the power of the Jiang family, she dared to ask Song Yixiao to sacrifice!

What's more, Yuan Xuepei is Yuan Xuecao's own brother, and he still regards his sister as a pearl in his palm?

Who knows if he will push Song Yixiao out to make a shield in order to let his sister get out?

In the final analysis, a girl like her, who has no reliable shelter, is a soft persimmon no matter who looks at it.

Song Yixiao didn't know that the letter she didn't receive was actually Yuan Xuepei's reminder to her sister, there was a bad impression of his involvement in the mastiff incident six years ago, and the recent example of Baoying, she didn't trust Yuan Xuepei at all.

So I can't be like Yuan Xuecao, thinking that everything will be fine if the matter is handed over to Yuan Xuepei.

"Her Royal Highness the Acting Eldest Princess, Lord ...... Nanzhang County" Song Yixiao took a deep breath and felt a burst of despair, "These two can't even avoid the Hengshan Palace, and they are worried about it, but what should I do?" ”

Not only that, but there is also an unknown friend or foe of the Jiang family!

Can you live this day?!

Although it is said that there is no endless road - but now looking horizontally and vertically, there is only one road:

Take a gamble and marry Jian Xubai!
