1079. Chapter 1079 Her Rank Count Is Too High
At that moment, I heard a sudden gust of wind blowing behind me.
When I turned back, there was only a dark street behind me, empty, and the wind blew through my clothes and the sound of hunting. And by this time, the door had been opened.
From inside, a familiar voice came and said, "Go back, but just convey our meaning to your master." β
"Princess, please rest assured."
"Don't worry, please go back."
I could tell that the voice was Han Ruoshi's, but the other voices were very unfamiliar.
When he raised his head, he saw the door open, and a large group of people walked out of it, and the battle seemed to be not small. The two attendants who walked in front held lanterns in their hands, and they were shaken by the cold wind that suddenly poured in from the opening of the gate, and the red light of the lanterns also became swaying, reflecting the faces of the group behind them a little dimly.
Among them, the thin, weak and slender one is also the one I am most familiar with, which is today's birthday star Han Ruoshi.
And the few people who walked out side by side with her were very unfamiliar, and they only vaguely saw that they were gorgeously dressed and cautious, as Xiao Yusheng said, they didn't look like southerners, let alone local celebrities in Jinling.
And then, when they looked up, they all saw me.
Those few people probably didn't expect that it was so late, and there was actually a woman standing on the empty street at the gate, especially in such a dark sky, it became more and more strange and unpredictable, and those people were stunned for a moment, and their footsteps stopped there.
"Princess, this man isβ"
Han Ruoshi seemed to have expected that I would be standing here, so she only glanced at me out of the corner of her eye, and smiled at those people: "It's irrelevant." A few be careful, watch the road. β
Although those people were a little hesitant, seeing that she was so calm, they couldn't say anything more, so they walked down the steps with her, and the rain passed by. Not far away, I saw those people looking at me, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes.
I watched them quietly.
When she walked to the corner of the street, Han Ruoshi stopped her farewell under their repeated persuasion, and the people said goodbye to her respectively, and in the end, it was a tall and rough-looking man, who had been walking at the back of the crowd before, standing there like a wall, but at this time he looked back at me, as if hesitating, and finally walked towards me.
He arched his hand and said, "May I ask if this is Mrs. Pei?" β
I glanced at him and nodded, "Yes." β
I thought this man was asking me what I was going to say, but he bowed to me and said, "It's been a long time." β
"Huh?"
I frowned, looking at the inexplicable behavior of the person in front of me, and vaguely felt that he seemed to be a little different from the previous people, so I asked tentatively, "Are you-"
Before she finished speaking, Han Ruoshi walked over slowly.
"You two know each other?"
The man looked at her and then at me, but he didn't say anything more, but arched his hand and said in a rough voice, "Farewell." β
Han Ruoshi also said softly: "Go slowly." β
My brow furrowed slightly, and I looked at the big man's back like a ridge, and turned away with a few of his retinue, and in a moment their figures disappeared into the dark night at the end of the long street.
At this time, Han Ruoshi turned her head and glanced at me.
Under the light of the red lantern, her smile looked a little ethereal: "Sister Qingying came back so late, why didn't she knock on the door?" β
I also hooked the corner of my lips: "Knock on the door, is it useful?" β
She smiled softly, "How can it be useless? After all, my sister is the lady in this house, who would dare to shut my sister out? β
Hearing her say this, thinking of the door that I couldn't knock on just now, and Su Su was turned away several times before, of course I understood what was going on, and suddenly a bad breath accumulated in my heart almost made me angry, but, at this moment, my ears suddenly sounded the words that Xiao Yusheng had just said-
"The people of Hongyan Building, survive; And this man, seeking power. β
β¦β¦
I think back to the people who just walked out with her, and the person who came to greet me.
If I guessed correctly, those few who left directly after coming out are not local celebrities in Jinling, listening to their accents and what Han Ruoshi told them, these people are likely to be powerful gentry from all over the Central Plains, and it is very likely that they are the envoys sent by the group of people who gathered in Yangzhou on the occasion of Pei Yuanzhen's wedding this time.
In order to hide people's eyes and ears and not be discovered, the birthday dinner of the two princesses was used to cover up.
As for the last person who came to greet me, from his body and appearance, he didn't look like a native of the Central Plains.
A foreigner who is not from the Central Plains, but has dealings with the Han family, or with Pei Yuanxiu, can only come from one place-
When I think of this, my heart can't help but feel a little chilly.
Therefore, the sarcasm and vitriol that I had almost just said were swallowed by me at this moment, and I only glanced at her, turned around and left.
She didn't expect me to leave like this, and stood there a little unconscious, until the cold wind blew, and I had walked far away from the gate, when I vaguely heard the maid beside her urging her to hurry back to the house, and I didn't ask again, so I walked quietly to the inner courtyard alone.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw that it was cold for a while, Su Su sat under the lamp with a silk handkerchief that had not yet been embroidered, and when she saw me coming in, she hurriedly stood up: "Miss, you are back." β
"Hmm. What about the punch line? β
"Miss Miaoyan has fallen asleep."
I cautiously walked to the room over there to take a look, Miao Yan lay on the bed, sleeping peacefully, sleeping looked extraordinarily calm, I looked at her for a while, then put down the tent, turned to Su Su and whispered, "Has anyone been here?" β
"I sent people over there a few times, but I blocked them back."
"Who sent it?"
"If Childe sends someone, it must be that layout, I don't think it's a layout, it must be the two over there."
ββ¦β¦β
I laughed a little, and I couldn't see that Su Su was quite smart.
But, that's probably why I couldn't knock on the door tonight.
Tong guΓ² Xiao Yusheng said those words to me, and then look back at the Han sisters, or Han Ruoshi's actions, it is not so difficult, she wants to marry Pei Yuanxiu, and now I am the biggest resistance, and that day at their Hongmen banquet my attitude has been very tough, and it is basically impossible for me to let go and agree.
So, tonight's fuss, closing the door of the house and turning me away, not only to make me uncomfortable and embarrassed, but more importantly, she deliberately let me see her send those guests out.
In my experience, it is not difficult to guess the origin of those people.
And after I know about this, according to my personality, I will definitely question Pei Yuanxiu, and in this way-
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sneer.
Xiao Yusheng is right, this woman is indeed different from those people in Hongyan Building, and even compared with those women in the palace, the number of paragraphs is too high.
In the past, I underestimated her.
At this moment, the outside door was pushed open, and Pei Yuanxiu's voice came in from outside-
"Young Baby?"
I glanced back at Miao Yan, who was sleeping deeply, and whispered to Su Su, "Serve Miss Miao Yan well." Seeing her nod in agreement, I turned around and walked out.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Pei Yuanxiu take off his coat and hang it on the hanger next to the bed, while looking around, and when he saw me coming out of Miaoyan's room, he smiled and said, "You went to see Miaoyan, how is she?" β
"Sleep."
"Oh."
When I walked over and walked to the lamp, he looked me up and down, and immediately saw that I hadn't changed into the toilet coat I wore at night, so he frowned slightly and said, "Why haven't you changed your clothes yet, when did you come back?" β
