After dressing as a deposed prince and concubine, verse 24
"Eat."
“……”
There was silence again.
Wang Shu could probably guess that he had something to do with her, and he was not a fool, it was so obvious. After all, it's not the first time I've met, and the last time we met, I hadn't seen this master have so much patience.
“…… Master, do you have something to ask me? Wang Shu didn't go around the bend with him, and spoke directly.
Xiao Yanxing was about the first time he had met such a direct person, and he paused. He looked outside at Wang Shu. The girl in front of her was still young, and her face was still a little childish. A pair of eyes are crystal clear, unusually smart, and what you think is completely on your face.
"Went to the Wang Family Dart Bureau this afternoon?" She opened her mouth, and Xiao Yanxing naturally got straight to the point.
Wang Shu's eyes flashed slightly, and she quickly went through it in her mind and nodded.
"How?"
"How?" Wang Shu was a little confused about what he meant.
"Don't you want to get your family business back? As far as your royal family is in today's condition. Do you think that you can get it back with your orphan daughter, or your younger brother who was raised in the northern suburbs? Xiao Yanxing also saw Wang Shu's temperament, and if he had something to say, it would be easy to say later. Originally, he wanted to be gentle. Looking at it now, it doesn't seem to be necessary.
Wang Shu was stunned in her heart and did not speak.
Seeing that her voice was not moving, Xiao Yanxing was not in a hurry. Just looked at her quietly. His eyes were cold and transparent, Wang Shu was stared at by him so that his scalp was numb, and his heart couldn't help but drum.
"Leave this matter aside, let's say that your father was in strong health, but he suddenly fell ill at the time of the year, and he went away in less than a year." Qing Lingling's voice said without any emotion, "You don't have the slightest doubt in your heart? ”
Wang Shu's expression froze instantly, and she raised her head.
This sentence seemed to be knocked on Wang Shu's heart by a thunderbolt. Although it was reincarnated with a memory, it was worn into a book. But for her, Wang Chengjin is a father who really hurts her to the bone.
Since he is a father, there is no possibility that he will not care. She sat up straight in an instant: "What do you mean by that!" ”
Speaking of which, his father died young at the age of thirty-three, which has always been difficult for Wang Shu to accept.
She knew that people in ancient times had a short life expectancy, and the average life expectancy was only 30 years old. Wang Shu thinks that the short life span may be a factor of the times, but it is not without suspicion of other external factors. But Wang Chengjin often goes out and is not in the house, and his physical condition is not clear to others. Second, when he found that he was unwell, he called countless doctors, all of whom said that it was an emergency.
In this way, her doubts were dispelled. Wang Shu's body collapsed into a line at this time, and she couldn't get up.
"That's just my guess. There are no absolutes, you have to check. ”
Seeing that she finally had the reaction she wanted, Xiao Yanxing lightly hooked the corners of her mouth.
Wang Shu stared at him, people are like this, some things are accepted without being said. When others ask questions, those who care about the chaos will be shaken. Wang Shu couldn't help but recall the situation before Wang Chengjin's death very quickly in her mind.
But the memory is relatively long, and it has long been very vague. Wang Shu recalled at this time, and only vaguely remembered that Wang Chengjin's face was full of illness and thin as firewood, and he would cry at a glance. Emotionally, Wang Shu has always been reluctant to think of these.
I still remember that Wang Chengjin's emergency onset was very fast, and he couldn't get up when he was sent home. At that time, there were most comatose times, and very few times when awake. She took care of her for a few days, but was driven away by her father with tuberculosis.
Wang Shu later tried to take care of him while he was asleep, but every time her father woke up, he did not allow her to enter the house until he died.
"My father walked away from tuberculosis, and the doctors said that he was tuberculosis......"
Xiao Yanxing picked up the cup and took a shallow sip of tea: "If you want to check, I can help you." ”
Wang Shu's pupils shrank violently and did not answer.
In fact, her mind was still distracted by his words. To say that there is nothing else in this, these are all his guesses. But she wasn't sure that there was no possibility of being bored at all.
Wang Shu lowered her eyes, and her heart quietly rippled. Little by little, I became frightened.
In fact, when I saw the Wang family dart game in the afternoon, I vaguely chewed something wrong. The Wang family has a big business, and she always thought that it was a scene that people from small places had never seen the world exaggerate. But it turns out that she may have been blind. At this time, this person mentioned her father's death, not necessarily to remind her kindly. It is clear that he wants to say this on purpose.
Wang Shu knew it in her heart, but it was about Wang Chengjin, and she couldn't help but care.
Raising his eyes and looking at the person opposite, Wang Shu pressed the waves in his heart and exhaled sullenly: "...... Can I ask you a few questions? ”
"Ask."
"The master's surname is Xiao, which Xiao is it?" The words have come to this point, and Wang Shu will not hide it.
"Huh?" Xiao Yanxing's eyes flashed, but he was a little surprised.
During this time, he seemed to ignore the back house, but in fact, all the movements in the back house could not escape his ears. What Wang Shu did, Xiao Yanxing was also clear. As far as the things she had done, he understood the girl's temperament.
I didn't expect to look stupid, as if I was smarter than the Wen family?
"What do you think?"
"Xiao of the Xiao family of the Daqing royal family?"
Xiao Yanxing didn't speak, his expression was restrained, and his default attitude was self-evident.
Wang Shu felt a sigh in her heart again. I was prepared, I really guessed, and I couldn't help but be shocked.
"How many are you at home?"
"Chief."
The head of the royal family, isn't it the abolished prince of the Yuan Dynasty? Wang Shu couldn't help but gasp: "Then you and my father have ......?"
"There has been no contact."
Wang Shu hurriedly asked: "Then how do you know that there is something else wrong with my father's death?" ”
Xiao Yanxing didn't speak, but Wang Shu also knew that he had asked a stupid question. It is impossible for the abolished prince to appear in Lin'an County for no reason, there must be a plan. Thinking of the Wang family's industry, which she saw as the tip of the iceberg, he was clearly coming for the Wang family. Knowing the identity of this person, many things can be rushed.
If this is really the waste prince, the authenticity of the identity can be verified sooner or later, and the waste prince has no need to lie to her.
Wang Shu suddenly realized a problem, she probably couldn't get off the Xiao family's thief ship. If this person came for the Wang family's business, how could he let her go?
Regarding Wang Chengjin's death, Xiao Yanxing is only suspicious. After all, when he first came to Lin'an County, it was too late. His people have not yet come into contact with Wang Chengjin, and Wang Chengjin has died not long ago. Although he also tried to put his hand into the Wang family at that time, but he was unsuccessful. The inconspicuous Mao family of the Wang family also has the means to surround the Wang family as impregnable.
He was demoted to this point, pretending to be crazy and stupid, and many things could not be done with great fanfare.
It took a year of secretly arranging for the generals to gather some forces. With such a big family business as the Wang family, it is naturally impossible for him to give it up easily. But what can be done at present is only to quietly include the daughter of the Wang family in the mansion.
Wang Shu pursed her lips, clasped her hands together and pinched them unconsciously, falling into deep thought.
When it comes to political struggles, it's not that simple.
Even if he helps her get back the Wang family's property, the Wang family is very likely to become his money bag in the end. But with Wang Shu and Wang Xuanzhi themselves, can they really take the property?
Even if he can really get it back, can Xiao Yanxing hold back and not stretch out his hand? How will she fight Xiao Yan at that time?
Thinking about these problems, Wang Shu had to make a choice.
In the original book, this man is the last person to sit on the throne of God...... Thinking of this, Wang Shu raised her head: "What is the master looking for me tonight?" ”
Xiao Yanxing was very surprised that this girl was so transparent, she didn't need to speak too clearly, she could understand the voiceover: "Borrow your Wang family's dart team." ”
Wang Shu was stunned for a moment and smiled: "I haven't been able to get it back yet." ”
"You don't have to take it back," Xiao Yanxing suddenly hooked his lips and smiled slightly, his gloomy gaze seemed to be able to suck people into it, "I remember that your Wang family didn't want to escort a batch of silk to Qiuci recently?" Add two people. ”
Although Wang Shu knew that she couldn't hide, she couldn't help but be frustrated: "...... What's in it for me? ”
"You're not looking for paddy fields?" Xiao Yanxing said lightly: "The first three acres of fertile paddy fields behind the Linshui Temple in the northern suburbs are for you." ”
As soon as the words fell, Wang Shu immediately knelt up straight, and grabbed his hand on the desk.
Xiao Yanxing's hands are the same as his people, and they are as beautiful as jade carvings. The knuckles are slender, the bones are even, and they are as white as jade. Wang Shu ignored his momentary stiff posture, clenched his grip and shook it up and down twice. Excited eyes lit up: "Thank you, you are so generous!" You're such a nice guy! ”
Xiao Yanxing: "......"
CHAPTER XXV
The night became darker and darker, splashed with thick ink, and the five fingers were missing. Under the bright lights, insects chirped in the bushes.
The moonlight was hidden behind the clouds, faintly revealing a faint halo.
Xiao Yanxing's gaze fell on the hand that was being held, Wang Shu's fingers were slender, like peeling onion roots. However, due to various experiments all year round, the fingertips and palms have left a shallow layer of thin calluses. Rub on the delicate skin, leaving a fine and dense weird touch. His limbs were stiff, and his calm mind and self-cultivation made him not immediately shake off Wang Shu's hand.
Wang Shu didn't notice the change in Xiao Yanxing's expression at all, and after a short period of excitement, he realized that it was abrupt and immediately let go of his hand.
Looking at the person in front of her through the dim candlelight, the girl's face was like a peach blossom, and her eyes were clear. Xiao Yanxing's face was a little inexplicable, he lowered his eyes, and his eyes were in the shadows. The thick and slender eyelashes are stretched by the light, and a blue shadow falls under the eyelids.
Wang Shu: "......"
There was an awkward silence in the air, so quiet that you could hear each other's breathing.
"If nothing else, then I'm leaving?" Wang Shu ran outside for a day today, and her chest was already hungry. As soon as she finished speaking, a long roar came from her stomach.
The eyes on the other side immediately looked over, and Wang Shu was a little embarrassed: "...... Dinner didn't work yet. ”
Xiao Yanxing didn't speak, his other hand was raised and waved.
Wang Shu blinked, and her gaze fell on the hand he had just been holding by her. The hand was like an ornament, resting on his knees, motionless. Wang Shu guessed that he probably meant to let her retire quickly.
So he got up and went out.
She walked away, and Mama Yuan walked out of the corner with a snack, and turned her head to look at the master who was sitting behind the desk. The master's expression was as calm as water, as if he didn't care.
Mama Yuan carefully placed the snacks in front of him, and the room returned to calm, the lowered eyelashes of the silent contemplative man in the candlelight trembled, and the hand on his knee was imperceptibly rolled into the sleeve of his coat.
is related to Wang Chengjin's death, Wang Shu thought about it at night and couldn't sleep. Even though a year had passed, she realized that something might be wrong, but she still couldn't keep her composure.
However, there was too little valid information that could be collected in her past memories, and she was a little at a loss for a while. Wang Shu knew that some things needed to be done patiently, so she could only warn herself not to be impatient. There are some things in this world that have been done and will leave traces. It's like doing her experiments. Grasp a point and stretch deeper, and you can always get a glimpse of the whole picture.
There are several ways to know if your father's illness is boring. You can start with the doctor's side first.
A few people who came from the dart game yesterday came in handy today. Because Xiao Yanxing has made his identity and purpose clear, now Mama Yuan doesn't care about Wang Shu's entry and exit from the Xiao family, and even helps cover up when the Lin family, the Liu family and others inquire.
The Lin family actually didn't care about what Wang Shu was doing when she went out, all she cared about was Xiao Yanxing's favor. As long as it has nothing to do with Xiao Yanxing, she won't care if Wang Shu steals people.
No, maybe it should be said that she even looked forward to Wang Shu going out to meet her lover. If this is the case, she will have caught the handle, and she will have a reason to dispose of Wang Shu. At that time, there will be one less person to share the favor, and the back house will be cleaner.
Wang Shu is in no mood to care what these people think, she urgently needs manpower now. If it weren't for the fact that she was trapped in the back house, there would be no progress at all.
There were four doctors who treated Wang Chengjin at the beginning, and not all of them were from Qinghe Town. Only one was a local doctor, and the other three were all foreigners. The old doctor in Qinghe Town is easy to find, and the person is in Qinghe Town. It's a pity that the old doctor is old, and he can't remember the people he has come into contact with in the past year.
"Can't remember?" Wang Shu's brows furrowed.
"People are already deaf, so confused that they can't distinguish people, and now they don't work as doctors anymore."
The subordinates arranged by Wang Jinfei happened to be the two eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys who picked her up. One of these two people is Wang Jinfei's own son, and he has followed Wang Jinfei many times. Although he is young, he is very reliable. The other is Master Lin's own nephew, whose brain turns extremely fast. There is also an older person, around thirty years old, surnamed Qian, and his martial arts are very superb.
"What about the others? I remember it was four doctors. This doctor doesn't recognize people, and neither does the others? ”
Wang Shu recalled these doctors, and she still remembered a little about their appearance. At that time, in addition to these doctors, it seemed that they were also following a big shopkeeper of a shop in the capital. The shopkeeper once said that the two doctors were children of a family of imperial doctors, and they had amazing acupuncture skills.
"Are you sure, big girl? There are more shops in the capital, and there are three big shopkeepers. Do you remember who it was? If you write to you, you have to wait for a reply for at least a month or two. ”
