Chapter 419: Who the Hell Is She
"Yes! The little one went to invite Miss Ning'er to come. Fu Biao answered, turned around and left the study.
Shao Xi turned his head to look at the growing autumn outside the window, there was not a trace of clouds in the turquoise sky, but such a clear scenery could not change Shao Xi's inner gloom at this time.
Mei Ruoyan has some little secrets of her own, Shao Xi doesn't feel anything wrong, and she also hides her identity from Mei Ruoyan.
Shao Xi felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, if Mei Ruoyan really had some unavoidable hardships, why didn't she tell herself?
Didn't she believe in herself? Or was she just acting on the spot and didn't have true feelings for herself?
If he were someone else, Shao Xi might laugh it off, and he might analyze the other party's motives and purposes in the most rational way, but now this person is Mei Ruoyan, which makes Shao Xi a little upset.
If even the person he loves is a pawn in some conspiracy, he feels that this world is too dark, and he has left the purest part of his heart to her, if she just uses her true feelings to achieve some kind of purpose, Shao Xi really doesn't know how to face it.
Could it be that my current self is the same as my former self in the modern world, destined to fail in emotional experience?
Could it be that his sincere efforts are destined to end up in vain? People are indeed very double standard sometimes, Shao Xi felt sad because Mei Ruoyan had hidden something from him, but he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him hiding his true identity from Mei Ruoyan.
Now that the same thing happened to him, he began to really reflect on whether he had the right to blame Mei Ruoyan.
Honesty is mutual, and if you haven't even done it yourself, what right do you have to blame others for doing the same to you?
At this time, Shao Xi's heart was extremely entangled, he wanted to know what Mei Ruoyan had experienced, but before that, should he also tell Mei Ruoyan about his experience without concealment?
Maybe everyone will have a secret in their hearts that they are helpless and unwilling to be known, if the other party is unwilling to tell it, is there any need to explore it?
Just as the secrets of your heart are willing to be known by others? Some things can be said, but some things can only be buried in the heart, I am like this, and Mei Ruoyan is the same, so how should the two sides face the secrets in each other's hearts?
Shao Xi didn't know what Mei Ruoyan was going to do, but he knew very well what he was going to do. Maybe you need an in-depth conversation between yourself and Mei Ruoyan, even if both parties are reluctant to tell their secrets, they should at least tell each other that they have secrets in their hearts, instead of mutual suspicion like now.
While Shao Xi was thinking wildly, Fu Biao had already invited Ning Er to arrive
"Xiyan Pavilion", after Ning Er entered the study, Fu Biao consciously retreated, and stayed outside the door alone to avoid being disturbed when Shao Xi and Ning Er were talking.
As Shao Xi's guard, Fu Biao knows very well what he can and can't listen to. He told Shao Xi about Mei Ruoyan out of loyalty to the head of the family, and no one could hurt the head of the family, even if this person was Shao Xi's confidante.
Ning Er was originally pestering Lao Wu in the back hall to inquire about what they had seen and heard outside in the past six months, and when she was listening to Lao Wu's eyebrows dancing and spitting nonsense, she was suddenly called here by Fu Biao.
After entering the study, Ning Er was also confused, in her impression, her brother was busy with business every day, and it was really unaccustomed to calling herself here from Lao Wu at this time.
"Come on! Ning Er sat down to have a cup of tea with her brother, my brother didn't bring you any good things back this time, here is a green haze purple cloud yarn that my brother specially left for you, and I personally brought it back all the way, and you go back to make a few sets of dresses, so as not to always let your grandfather spend his own wine money to make clothes for you. Ning Er took the green haze purple cloud yarn from Shao Xi's hand, with a look of surprise and novelty.
For women, this green haze and purple cloud yarn seems to have some kind of magic, and the dreamlike colors can always attract their eyes deeply.
"Wow! It's beautiful! If such a beautiful fabric is made into a dress and worn out, it will definitely make others envious to death, thank you brother! Shao Xi poured a cup of tea for Ning Er with a smile, and asked seemingly casually: "My brother and grandfather have been away for so long, who is taking care of the family on weekdays?" Ning Er put down the green haze purple cloud yarn in her hand, picked up the cup of tea that Shao Xi poured for her, and while blowing the hot air in the cup, she tilted her neck and thought seriously with her big watery eyes.
"On weekdays, the housekeeper Liu Fu is in charge of everything at home, but Ruoyan's sister also often comes to the house, she said that her brother had asked her to take care of Ning'er when he left, so her sister would come to the house every day or two to see Ning'er."
"Well, it's true that my brother asked her and Miss Liu to come to accompany Ning'er often, so what does she talk about with Ning'er when she comes to the house on weekdays? Can you tell me about it? Ning'er shallowly tried to drink a small sip of tea in the cup, and was scalded to the point that her tongue sticked out.
Hearing Shao Xi's question, he also replied very seriously: "It's all about my daughter's things, I don't understand what piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are, but I can still understand a little bit about some female red embroiderers, rouge spices and so on."
"Sister Ruoyan and Sister Liu also often teach Ning'er to write and paint, teach Ning'er to know books and etiquette, and no longer run around like a little beggar or a wild girl, they say that my brother is a person with status, and Ning'er can't fold my brother's face outside.
"Sometimes Sister Ruoyan will complain that her brother has been gone for so long and hasn't come back, and it can be seen that Sister Ruoyan misses her brother a lot." Shao Xi smiled with satisfaction, it seems that Mei Ruoyan and Liu Ling have indeed taught Ning'er well in the half a year since they left.
Today's Ning'er's words and deeds no longer have the shadow of the little beggar at the beginning, and she looks like a well-behaved and knowledgeable little jasper.
"Then what did your sister Ruoyan say to you about her brother? Did I ask you about my brother? As soon as Shao Xi asked about this, Ning Er suddenly became excited, and happily replied: "Of course there is, of course there is!" Sister Ruoyan is very concerned about her brother's affairs, and always pulls Ning'er to ask questions about the east and west, and asks if her brother's martial arts are powerful? What do you do at home on a daily basis? Who are your friends?
"Even my brother has any habits on weekdays, and my sister will ask, not only my brother, but also Sister Ruoyan sometimes asks about some things about my grandfather. It's a pity that Ning'er doesn't know much, so she can only tell her some things that Ning'er sees on weekdays. Shao Xi's heart sank when she heard this, if she was just her confidante, it would be understandable to inquire about this, but now Mei Ruoyan's identity is in doubt, and inquiring about herself in such detail has to make Shao Xi doubt her motive for inquiring about these things.
wants to know the realm of her martial arts, her daily behavior, who she interacts with, and even her own living habits, and even the old Wu around her has to find out, which makes Shao Xi have to doubt her purpose.
Is she really just the simplest of concerns? But she could have asked herself directly about these things before, but why did she ask Ning Er from the side?
Is it because you are afraid that asking yourself directly will arouse your suspicions? So why would she be afraid to suspect her?
There are some things that come to ask yourself directly, but in fact, you don't feel that there is anything wrong, but it is extremely abnormal to inquire in secret.
Why did she hide her martial arts cultivation from herself? What is the motivation for concealing the matter itself?
Although Shao Xi is not sure whether his and Fu Biao's guess about Mei Ruoyan is accurate at the moment, this has already made Shao Xi have a trace of doubt about Mei Ruoyan.
Now that I think back to my acquaintance with Mei Ruoyan, I don't seem to know much about her past, and I didn't ask much because I was afraid of evoking her unpleasant memories, and Mei Ruoyan didn't seem to ask too much about herself.
This didn't make Shao Xi feel that there was anything wrong at the beginning, but if Mei Ruoyan really didn't think it was as simple as she thought, maybe she didn't ask much about herself because she had guessed her identity before, so there was no need to ask, as long as she found a way to confirm something.
And rarely talks about her past, and she doesn't want Shao Xi to know too much about her, lest Shao Xi find out her true identity through some clues.
Thinking about it this way, it was not by chance that he and Mei Ruoyan met at the beginning. It's just that Shao Xi is a little confused, why did Mei Ruoyan go to assassinate Xiao Yuzhi, the king of the Tomb?
You must know that the Lingwang Mansion is not a place where you can enter and exit when you say it, what is the motive that makes Mei Ruoyan sneak into the Lingwang Mansion at such a big risk?
What was the purpose of her visit? Is it because of him, or is it because he is burdened with some kind of task?
He has a deep blood feud with Xiao Yuzhi, could it be that Mei Ruoyan is also like herself, and has a grudge against Xiao Yuzhi?
If it's a personal vendetta, it's easy to explain, but if someone is ordered to do it, who is the person behind her?
Why did you choose to attack Xiao Yuzhi at this time? In any case, Shao Xi felt that this choice was not wise, judging by the current situation, he was the best choice to deal with Xiao Yuzhi, if he chose to end up in person at this time, wouldn't he expose himself to the world?
You must know that the assassination of His Royal Highness the Second Prince Ling Wang is not a trivial matter, is it necessary to lead the fire to himself at this time?
If it was Shao Xi, he would never do this, but it happened like this, and it seemed so unreasonable, that Shao Xi couldn't figure it out for a while.
Now there are a few things to figure out. Who is Mei Ruoyan? Is there anyone behind her? What is the purpose of approaching oneself?
How much do you know about yourself right now? Is she the one who infiltrated the Lingwang Mansion? If so, why would she do it?
What is the purpose of doing this?
