Chapter Ninety-Five: Intentions
When he was the only one left in the study, Pei Zheng held back the anger in his eyes.
However, thinking of what Xiao Yuan had done before, it seemed reasonable that Jiang Mingzhi would have strange thoughts about him.
Thinking of this, Pei Zheng's eyebrows frowned a little tighter, he was just now, but he was looking for an excuse for Jiang Mingzhi's move?
With only irritability left in his heart, Pei Zheng simply drew his sword and went to the courtyard, and called the two of them to practice swordsmanship with him.
The movement in the courtyard of the study did not affect Jiang Mingzhi's thoughts, but she also tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
At the beginning, she was bent on getting close to Pei Zheng, and she wanted to use the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion to find out her father's case.
But now that her father is dead, she doesn't know where to go, why did she stay in Zuo Xiang's mansion in the first place, because of Pei Zheng?
This question has not been answered in Jiang Mingzhi's heart for a long time, and she can't sleep all night.
In the early morning of the next day, when Hongyue brought breakfast, she found that Jiang Mingzhi's eyes were black and blue, which startled her.
"Miss Jiang, you won't sneak out again last night, will you?"
Hongyue cried with a sad face, thinking that she was another one who didn't pay attention and didn't look at Jiang Mingzhi.
Who knew that Jiang Mingzhi was amused by her subconscious reaction, "You are such a strong martial arts person, how can I escape under your nose." ”
Hearing this, Hongyue's heart fell slightly.
In fact, what Jiang Mingzhi didn't know was that Hongyue was worried that she had taught Jiang Mingzhi to take advantage of the loophole during the time she was called away by Pei Zheng last night, but now looking at Jiang Mingzhi's reaction, she was too worried.
"But I really have something to ask you."
Although Jiang Mingzhi's gaze fell on the food on the table, his mind had already been placed elsewhere.
Hongyue also guessed what Jiang Mingzhi wanted to ask, and lowered her eyes and was silent.
"How does Zuo Xiang plan to deal with the Yan family?"
After thinking about it a few times, Jiang Mingzhi asked what he said.
She didn't directly ask Pei Zheng what she planned to do with Xiao Yuan, but she was already sure in her heart that Pei Zheng would definitely make a move on the Yan family, and now that she was trapped in the backyard, how could she guess Pei Zheng's thoughts.
"Miss Jiang, if the slaves and maids can be accommodating with you in other matters, it is related to southern Xinjiang, and the adults definitely don't want you to interfere in this matter again."
Hongyue knew that Jiang Mingzhi was unwilling, but that's all she could say.
Fortunately, Jiang Mingzhi didn't embarrass her too much, and after the meal, he let the red moon go down.
The house was quiet, Jiang Mingzhi was still fighting between heaven and man in his heart, so it was reasonable, Xiao Yuan helped her several times, but now in this situation, she can't ignore it.
But Pei Zheng ...... Pei Zheng's methods couldn't be clearer, how loyal his father was to him at the beginning, in the end, he was not abandoned by him.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mingzhi's eyes gradually turned red.
At the beginning, she couldn't protect her father and Shangshufu, she was incompetent.
But now that she obviously knows what Pei Zheng will do, how can she be a cold sidestander?
Looking up again, Jiang Mingzhi had already made a decision in her heart, she wanted to find out about Pei Zheng's movements and inform Xiao Yuan, which could be regarded as repaying his previous feelings.
The problem at the moment is how to fool the red moon, and she will not go wrong with her eyes closed on the way from her courtyard to the study.
Jiang Mingzhi's fingertips unconsciously tapped on the table, constantly thinking about countermeasures in her mind, perhaps even she didn't notice that some of her subconscious habits were becoming more and more similar to Pei Zheng.
During the day that day, Jiang Mingzhi took out all the spices in her house and dried them in the sun, and for a while the courtyard was full of fragrance, and without Jiang Mingzhi's greeting, Hongyue fell in front of her with curiosity.
"Miss Jiang, what are you going to do?"
Hongyue watched Jiang Mingzhi busy and was about to step forward to help, but was stopped by Jiang Mingzhi.
"These spices are damp in the house, and it just so happens that the weather is good today, so I deliberately took them out to dry, but the drying method of each spice is different, so I can come by myself."
Hongyue had no choice but to stand on the side, watching Jiang Mingzhi's busy figure become more and more relieved, if Jiang Mingzhi found something to do next, he shouldn't be able to take care of the matter of southern Xinjiang.
But before the reassuring smile on the corner of Hongyue's mouth could be fully unfolded, it was interrupted by Jiang Mingzhi's words.
"Your Excellency must have been busy these days."
Just when Hongyue thought that Jiang Mingzhi would take the opportunity to ask something more, she didn't want Jiang Mingzhi to say anything more.
When the sun set, Jiang Mingzhi called on the red moon to move the spices back into the house with her.
"Red Moon, you wait."
Hongyue's footsteps paused slightly, and he didn't know what Jiang Mingzhi else commanded, but he saw Jiang Mingzhi take out a few of the spices and grind them.
After a while, Jiang Mingzhi took the box and packed the crushed powder, "You take this." ”
At this time, Hongyue suddenly came back to her senses and waved her hand at Jiang Mingzhi again and again, "This can't be helped." ”
"If you want to take it, you will take it." Jiang Mingzhi deliberately lowered his face, and immediately stuffed the box into her arms, "I know that you work hard, so I should reward you, okay?" ”
These words made Hongyue obviously a little frightened, but she didn't dare to take out the things in her arms at will, and she didn't know what to do when she stood there for a while.
"This is not a precious thing, you can keep it, if Pei Zheng knows, you just pull me out and block it." Jiang Mingzhi saw the hesitation in her eyes, and did not forget to wink at her and press on the back of her hand.
At this time, Mingyue couldn't refuse anymore, so she could only put away the box Ansheng, but she had a good impression of Jiang Mingzhi in her heart.
"But don't worry, I'll send him some of this stuff later, and he won't be embarrassed with you anymore." Jiang Mingzhi seemed to open his mouth inadvertently, so he picked up a few other spices and grinded them again.
"Let the slave come." Seeing this, Hongyue just wanted to get started, but was stopped by Jiang Mingzhi.
"If you let him know that you are the work of my own hands, and that he is being faked by me, he will be unhappy."
Hongyue suddenly reacted to who the "he" in Jiang Mingzhi's mouth was referring to, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was no longer interfering.
After Jiang Mingzhi finally straightened his waist, carefully packed the things, and put them in front of Hongyue.
"Miss Jiang, is this?" Hongyue thought that Jiang Mingzhi was going to send it in person, why did she have to give it to her again?
"Don't you forget, I'm still grounded now, and if he knows that I sneaked out, I'm afraid I'll be angry again."
Jiang Mingzhi deliberately mentioned that she was grounded, and sure enough, she saw a touch of embarrassment on Hongyue's face.
But after all, this thing is Jiang Mingzhi's intention, if she is asked to send it, the meaning will be different.
After some entanglement, Hongyue still pushed the thing back, "Miss Jiang, even if the adult will be unhappy, but this is your intention after all, you should send it, even if the adult blames it, the slave will admit it." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Mingzhi's eyes flashed a touch of unbearable, but the matter had come to this point, she categorically had no reason to refuse, and immediately raised a smile, "Really? Then I won't shirk it. "It's not in vain that she's been laying the groundwork for so long today.
When the words fell, Jiang Mingzhi walked out of the courtyard under the gaze of Hongyue.
