It was already midnight when I returned to the Shen family's rented house, and the children chasing and playing in the streets and alleys went home one after another, and the noisy city quieted down.

Rong Xiu made up the bed, turned to look at Ye Lingwu, who was sitting under the flower window with her chin in a daze, picked up the cloak and put it on her, and said softly: "Is the girl thinking about Master Hou or Scholar Jiang?" ”

Ye Lingwu was shocked when he heard this, and frowned: "...... Nothing. ”

Rong Xiu smiled and said: "It's really good for the slave to see that Hou Ye treats the girl, but Scholar Jiang has also saved the girl in danger twice, and outsiders even spread that Scholar Jiang is happy with the girl, tonight Scholar Jiang saw that Master Hou treats the girl unusually, and the slave maid thought that Scholar Jiang would retreat in a difficult way, but now it seems that he doesn't care." Did the girl think about how to deal with these two? ”

"Deal with?" Ye Lingwu was stunned.

"Naturally, it's going to be dealt with." Rong Xiu grew up in the capital, and served in the high gate, observing words and feelings, judging the situation, all of which are the cleverness required as a first-class female envoy.

She saw that Ye Lingwu was puzzled, and explained: "Hou Ye and Jiang University Scholars are both court ministers, Hou Ye is famous for his military exploits, and Jiang University scholars are stable in the court with strategy, no matter who these two are, the girl can't afford to offend." Now that they are all happy with the girl, has the girl ever thought about the price of accepting one and rejecting the other? ”

"It's... This... I ......" Ye Lingwu was speechless.

She had never thought about it.

In her opinion, it is a sparse and ordinary thing for a girl to refuse the heart of a suitor, but when she heard Rong Xiu say this, it seems that it is not ordinary.

Jiang Yuan approached her with a purpose, and her purpose was very clear, that is, to make her completely become a grasshopper on a rope with her, tied to life and death.

And the only thing that can achieve this goal is "marriage". Jiang Yuan, as a woman, walked to the court step by step, and her will was not inferior to that of a man, or even worse.

Judging from her actions tonight, what if the other party is the Marquis of Ningbei, who has the power to invade the government and the opposition, she doesn't care at all.

And what about Shen Zhan?

Everything he did seemed to be under control, including Ye Lingwu, she was moved, such a person could give her a full sense of security, but for some reason, Ye Lingwu couldn't be happy.

Rong Xiu saw her Ye Lingwu in trouble, and said worriedly: "Girl, the slave must remind you that Master Hou and Scholar Jiang are not easy to deal with, and neither party can afford to offend." ”

Ye Lingwu muttered in a low voice: "Yes, I can't afford to offend." ”

Rong Xiu stopped talking for a while, and said: "The slave doesn't know Scholar Jiang, but the slave feels that Scholar Jiang thinks about the girl...... It doesn't seem simple. ”

Ye Lingwu's lips were pursed, and his heart was confused. Of course it's not simple, Jiang Yuan's most important thought now is to tie her head to the Jiang family!

“…… Don't worry too much, it's too late tonight, let's go to bed first, and tomorrow morning we will start to worry about returning to Beijing. Rong Xiu said.

"Yes, I'm going back to Beijing soon, and the days of going south are really fast."

I want to meet those high-ranking ladies when I first entered the capital, and I don't know that they all have a home, so what about her, where is her home?

Ye Lingwu was stunned, and suddenly remembered something, and his face changed abruptly: "Sister Rongxiu, later I saw that Little General Yue Yang didn't seem to follow Hou Ye back to the house, where did he go?" ”

Rong Xiu was dazed and replied: "General Yue Yang left when you and Hou Ye went to put the wish lamp, saying that Hou Ye had other orders." ”

Ye Lingwu's shoulders sank, "Someone is going to finish now." ”

"What's wrong with the girl?" Rong Xiu was confused.

Ye Lingwu hurriedly said: "Sister Rongxiu, you should go to Xiyue Zhai now, you have to go secretly, go and see if the third girl has come back." ”

Rong Xiu hesitated, seeing that Ye Lingwu looked nervous, so she had to walk quickly towards Xiyue Zhai.

Seeing that the charcoal fire in the furnace was almost burning, Rong Xiu finally ran back out of breath, Ye Lingwu saw that she looked flustered, and hurriedly put down the hand stove and asked repeatedly, "What's wrong?" What happened to Xiyue Zhai? ”

Rong Xiu Napa, wiping the fine sweat on his head, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and gasped: "Xiyuezhai is in trouble, the slave maid was calm when she first went, but when she was about to leave, she found that the third girl actually came back, I thought that no one knew about it, but the Fu mother next to the master mother also came out of nowhere, and took the three girls to the house of the master mother." ”

Ye Lingwu was taken aback, Rong Xiu put away her cold sweat, and continued: "I waited outside secretly for a while, but I saw two martial maids escorting Yingxia to the courtyard of the main mother, girl, the inner house is usually when the family law is used!" ”

Ye Lingwu tensed his head and said, "Don't worry, the master mother is generous, and she will definitely not use family law against the third girl, I'm afraid that the second uncle and second uncle will not have a good time after returning to Beijing." ”

Rong Xiu said: "Yes, I don't know what the third girl did wrong, but when she came back later, how could she be... Why did you still let the housemother be detained in the house? ”

Ye Lingwu held his forehead, and his temples were throbbing with pain.

If only it were a little mistake to come back later.

I think it was Yue Yang who found out about Shen Pan'er and Pei Huai's private meeting. The Qianjun of the Hou Mansion had a private meeting with the son of Shang Jia, and it was spread that the entire Hou Mansion in Ningbei would be disgraced.

Since the first emperor, the Zhao State has always emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, and the nobles of the high gate despised the households of the merchants, first the Ningbei Marquis and the daughter of the merchant were entangled, and then the daughter of the Hou Mansion and the son of the merchant were privately conferred. Qin Mingyu is not dizzy.

"The girl is really worried about the third girl, why don't you go again?" Rong Xiu said.

"No, this thing... Let's pretend we don't know. ”

Ye Lingwu was worried, and couldn't help but scold: They all said that they were thin as officials, but I didn't expect it to be true, obviously I didn't have much integrity, but I betrayed my sister.

Green Bamboo Pavilion.

Yue Yang strode into the house, saw Shen Zhan sitting in front of the bookcase, looking at the tax account books sent by the Zhizhou Mansion, and hugged his fists and said, "Young master." ”

"How?" Shen Zhan didn't raise his head.

Yue Yang said: "Back to the young master, it's the third girl." ”

Shen Zhan said: "It's Shen Pan'er's words, why is she so surprised?" ”

Yue Yang said: "There is another person beside the third girl, and his subordinates have gone down to check, he is the eleventh son of Jia Pei Nansheng, a famous businessman in the capital, Pei Huai." ”

Shen Zhan paused to flip through the book, raised his head and frowned, "What else did you find?" ”

Yue Yang said: "I also found out that he came to the south with the Ningbei Hou Mansion, and even entered the city on the same day, and the reason why the third girl has been out of the mansion frequently recently is also because of this person." ”

Shen Zhan's eyes darkened.

Yue Yang swallowed his saliva and said, "Young master, this matter."

"Don't tell anyone else just yet." Shen Zhan interrupted.

Yue raised his eyebrows and slowly lowered his head, not daring to squeak.

Shen Zhan looked at him like this, and said unhappily: "You told Xiyue Zhai over there?" ”

"Young lord forgiveness, don't you always let your subordinates inform your master mother to make decisions about this kind of thing?" Yue Yang's voice became smaller and smaller, and he was very weak.

Shen Zhan tightened his brows, and only after a while did he hold back a sentence, "Get out." ”

How dare Yue Yang put his beak, and turned around to "escape".
