The carriage of Sufu stopped near the gate of Jingci Temple, and the two of them went out of the temple gate, and after getting into the car one after another, the coachman waiting on the side rushed to the car, waved the horsewhip, and drove forward.

In the carriage, because the purpose of this visit was not achieved, the faces of the two people were not too good-looking, so they were silent and did not speak.

Bumpy all the way, entering the city through Fucheng Gate, Ye Xiyan only asked Su Yuan to send her to the Xidan archway where West Chang'an Street and Xuanwumen Street intersect, then got out of the car, walked back to Ye Mansion, and then went straight to her Fengxuan in the backyard.

At this moment, there was no one in the Fengxuan Courtyard.

Since the day of the old lady's birthday, Tao Xue was pulled by Jiang Shu to expose her mother-in-law Yan Wujiao's affair, for fear of her revenge, she begged the old lady to allow her to be transferred from Feng Xuan. And the new maid Linglu likes to be lively, she can't stay alone at all, and she always likes to run out when she has nothing to do.

Ye Xiyan walked to the door of her boudoir located in the depths of the courtyard with a gloomy face, and stood for a moment before pushing the door in.

Then, he put his arm against the door of the room, and was about to bypass the screen to go to the inner room, when a joyless and angry female voice suddenly came from the room: "Fifth sister, are you back?" ”

Ye Xiyan didn't expect that there would be someone in the room, he was startled, and quickly raised his head, only to see that on the yellow rosewood curly grass pattern circle chair a few steps away from the door, Jiang Shu was wearing a blue-green embroidered rose collar and waist short jacket, and a lake-blue pleated long skirt with embroidery of the same series, with his hands folded, sitting on it.

Due to the dim light in the room, it was impossible to see her expression.

Ye Xiyan's face changed suddenly, and he took two steps forward, wanting to ask her why she wanted to enter her room, but soon thought that she was now in a disadvantaged position in this prime minister's mansion and couldn't touch her, so she paused, pretending to be surprised, and said: "Fourth sister, didn't you go to Shijingshan with your cousin and sixth sister to climb the heights, why are you in my room?" ”

"That is, I climbed to the top of the mountain, planted a dogwood on my head, and felt bored, so I came back early," Jiang Shu tugged at the corners of his lips and looked at her fixedly, "It's the fifth sister, isn't it because of the fifth mother's bad mood and don't want to go out?" What, suddenly I want to open it again? ”

"I ...... I was just a little bored, so I walked around casually. Ye Xiyan avoided her gaze with some weakness.

"Then I don't know where the five sisters have gone?" Jiang Shu's eyes moved slightly, and he asked softly.

"I didn't go anywhere, I didn't go anywhere," Ye Xiyan naturally couldn't let her know about his trip to Shijingshan, and was busy waving his hand, "I just walked around the nearby West Chang'an Street." ”

"Really?" Jiang Shu stood up with his elbow on his chair and walked out a few steps, "How did I hear that the fifth sister went far away?" ”

"Who does the fourth sister listen to?" Ye Xiyan only felt his heart tighten.

Now the old lady and her father are all towards this Ye Jiang, if she and Su Yuan conspired to get rid of her today if she knows, where will she still have a foothold in this mansion.

"Zhao Manqing, the daughter of the current household Shangshu Zhao family," Jiang Shu's eyes narrowed, and he said casually, "Today in Shijingshan, I met her, she said that she saw you from afar, and asked me why you didn't come with us." ”

"How is this possible!" Ye Xi shook down the uneasiness in his heart, shook his head and said, "I didn't go at all, how could she see me, she must have recognized the wrong person......

As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up: "By the way, she may be lying to you, and the fourth sister also knows that Zhao Manqingguan will cheat, thinking that she used copper wire to cheat in the grass fighting competition that day, but she was punished for three years and was not allowed to participate in the grass fighting competition, which is a lie, and it is also a common thing." ”

"So, the fifth sister really hasn't been to Shijingshan?" Jiang Shu tilted his head to look at her and said.

"Of course." Ye Xiyan nodded immediately.

"That's good," Jiang Shu smiled and leaned closer to her, "If the fifth sister goes and doesn't come with us, it will make people wonder if there is any ulterior motive." ”
