"Lord Shu is coming back soon? Two days ago, Mrs. Shu took Sister Chan to Mingshang Pavilion and did not mention this matter. Didn't you say it would take half a year? ”

This time, Emperor Shengning's inspection task to Shu Pingkuo was very heavy, including more than a dozen cities, including Mincheng, which had been opened up by the eldest prince with gold mines and iron mines, all of them needed to be inspected one by one, so the time set was half a year.

"Could it be that in order to come back to Shu Chan as soon as possible, the envoy Shu actually slept at night and burned the sundial?"

Geng Xingshuang's words were sarcastic, although Yang Tianmo had not yet said what the situation of the Xie family was, but judging from Shu Pingkuo's previous strong forcing Shu Chan to withdraw from her relatives and hiding the situation of the Xie family, she knew that there must be something bad about the Xie family, and it was extremely bad, otherwise the eldest son of a feudal official, why would he use this method to marry his daughter-in-law.

And Shu Chan is mentally deficient after all, and they are in a hurry to marry back, which is even more revealing.

"Not really!" Yang Tianmo said: "His Majesty temporarily summoned him back."

Yang Tianmo didn't say the reason, and Geng Xingshuang didn't ask, he was now in the Hanlin Academy, and he often walked in front of the palace, so he could naturally know a lot of news in advance that the important ministers didn't know, and he didn't say the reason, so she didn't need to ask.

"What's the big problem with the Xie family?"

Yang Tianmo said: "It's Xie Lei himself who has a problem, it stands to reason that a feudal official like Xie Kun who has been in office all the year round, his wife and children need to stay in Ningdu City, even if other family members can follow him to take office, the eldest son must stay in Ningdu, but the Xie family only has one concubine who is not as weak as the weak crown in Ningdu City, but the emperor agreed, there are two reasons for this, one is that Xie Kun was injured in an accident many years ago, and he will only have one son and two sons who have been born in this life. The second is because the eldest son of the Xie family has dementia since he was a child. ”

"Dementia? What kind of dementia? ”

There are many kinds of dementia, some are just stupid and will not cause harm to others, but there are also those who attack people when they suddenly go crazy.

Yang Tingmo said: "According to the news that Wu Biao heard, Xie Lei married his first wife when he was sixteen years old, and the following year, his wife died, saying that he died of illness, and he kept his wife filial piety for a year, and married a second wife at the age of nineteen.

This year, Mrs. Xie once again said goodbye to her eldest son, although Xie Lei has dementia, but in Mrs. Xie's mouth, he only occasionally gets sick, and most of the time it is normal, so the Xie family also has certain requirements for the eldest daughter-in-law, and they don't look down on the daughters of poor and small families, but the people who have a little fame and wealth in the West, although there are people who want to fight for power, for example, Xie Lei's second wife is the third daughter of the current Wind City Tong Judge He......"

Hearing this, Geng Xingshuang's heart has sunk, although up to now, Xie Lei only has dementia on the outside world, and Mrs. Xie only said that it is dementia that occasionally commits illness, but in Geng Xingshuang's mind, the image of Xie Lei is already like a humanoid demon, a demon that devours the life of a young girl.

Is it just an accident that the flower of life fell quickly and silently within a few months to a year of marriage?

Geng Xingshuang didn't believe it.

If it was really accidental, then please forgive her for speculating on an innocent person with the greatest malice.

Yang Tianmo saw that her face was pale, and her eyes were originally clear and clear, but at this time, they seemed to be dyed with frost and mist, and there was water vapor spreading, which looked extremely weak.

Yang Tianmo looked at her sideways, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he couldn't help but reach out and want to caress her face, but his hand just stretched out, but he paused, this is outside, and they haven't married yet, they are like this, too Meng Lang.

He only touched her hand lightly with the help of the wide sleeves, Geng Xingshuang noticed a warm touch on his hand, and looked towards Yang Tianmo, only to find that he was looking ahead, but the roots of his ears were quietly red.

Her heart palpitated, the depression that had been frozen in her heart just now gradually dissipated, she suddenly became bolder, her fingers reached forward, hooked the bony hand that was almost next to her, and then gently held it, her set of movements can be described as fast and accurate.

Not to mention that Yang Tianmo didn't react, even Geng Xingshuang himself was shocked by his actions.

Her brain twitched, how could she catch this man's hand and hold it.

When he reacted, he wanted to pump again, but found that his hand had been firmly wrapped by that big hand.

The two held hands like this on the winding mountain road, under the cover of wide sleeves, when Geng Shuhuai was attracted by a few small ones.

Geng Xingshuang felt that they couldn't go too far, if the second brother came back to his senses for a while, seeing this scene, wouldn't his angry nose be crooked, if he knew that she still took the initiative to hold the hand of the other person first, maybe he would jump to his feet angrily.

She struggled twice and didn't break free, and couldn't help glaring at Yang Tingmo, who had to let go of her slowly.

"You go on."

"Do you want to hear it?" Yang Tianmo observed her face.

Geng Xingshuang nodded, "Naturally, I want to listen, although it is unbearable, but covering my ears and eyes cannot stop me from the door." ”

"Lord He's daughter died in the Xie family, Lord He himself did not go to the Xie family, but Mrs. He went to make a fuss, but in the end it was pacified by the Xie Mansion, the outside world does not know how Xie Lei's second wife died, but Xie Lei died two wives in a row, and they all died about a year after entering the door, the outside world has different opinions, there are many speculations, plus Xie Lei has dementia, and remarrying is the third marriage, so although the Xie family has been saying goodbye to Xie Lei since the beginning of the year, they have not been able to say that it is appropriate.

Although Xie Kun and Shu Pingkuo are both officials in the court, one is in the west and the other is in Ningdu City, the two may not even have met, the reason why the two families have come to the point of marrying their children and in-laws is that at the beginning of this year, the county of Moxian County ordered He Junju to return to Ningdu City to report on his work, and match the two families. ”

After Yang Tianmo finished speaking, he coughed lightly and turned his head to look at Geng Xingshuang, there seemed to be a hint of caution and uneasiness in his eyes.

"Why, there is a family anywhere!" Geng Xingshuang muttered, kicking the stones under his feet.

She hadn't forgotten how those people in the Yang family calculated themselves in order to make room for He Yuzhu, the precious lady of the He family.

"Does your foot hurt? Do you want...... Do I carry you? ”

Yang Tianmo asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, it doesn't hurt at all, let's go faster, go back early in the afternoon, I have to tell Mrs. Shu about these things, there must be something wrong with the Xie family, and Sister Chan must not marry her."

Geng Xingshuang said, speeding up his pace and walking up.
