Chapter 42: Suspicion
Yu Zheng sat high at the top, looked at Shen Changze at the bottom with his ink eyes, and spoke indifferently.
"Jing'an Hou can know that Mrs. Ling almost jumped off the cliff today."
What?
Shen Changze was shocked: "What does the prince mean by this?"
Yu Zheng concisely told Jiang Shu about his distress.
Shen Changze was shocked when he heard this.
No wonder none of the guards of the Hou Mansion returned, and they were all killed by the mountain bandits.
"The prince is gracious, and the minister is unforgettable." Shen Changze stood up and thanked him.
If it weren't for Yu Zheng's rescue today, not only would Jiang Shu die on the cliff, but the face of the Marquis of Jing'an would not be able to be saved.
If the family is not strictly governed to protect relatives, his wife will be humiliated and killed, and he will definitely become a laughing stock in Beijing.
"This king will inform the Yamen Mountain bandits that it was this king who robbed and killed, and will not mention Mrs. Ling. As for the people in the Hou Mansion, it depends on how the Hou family of Jing'an is. ”
After Yu Zheng finished speaking, he got up and strode away.
That's all he can do.
"Send the prince to the prince." Shen Changze followed behind Yu Zheng and sent him off respectfully.
Yu Zheng ignored it and went straight out of the Hou Mansion.
He was very contemptuous of those who left his wife to return to Beijing alone.
After sending Yu Zheng away, Shen Changze went straight to Tingzhulou.
Jiang Shu leaned on the soft couch tiredly, and the medicine girl was smearing her injuries.
Looking at Jiang Shu's red and swollen knees, Shen Changze twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Is the injury serious?"
Doctor Fang said: "There is no injury to the muscles and bones, and I can walk after a few days of recuperation." ”
Shen Changze held back his words, and waited for the medicine girl to finish wiping the medicine and leave.
As soon as the doctor left, Shen Changze retreated and closed the door.
Jiang Shu knew that he had something to ask, so he waited for a long time.
Shen Changze returned to the couch and stood still, and said, "King Jing said that Zhao Dezhu colluded with the mountain bandits and forced you to almost jump off the cliff, are you okay?"
Jiang Shu was silent and replied in silence.
Shen Changze knew that she was angry for him for leaving her, so he softened his voice and said, "I didn't know that Zhao Dezhu was so bold. ”
At the end, he solemnly added: "Now you should understand that Zhao Dezhu was not let go by me." ”
If he let it go, how could Zhao Dezhu plan to retaliate.
Jiang Shu smiled angrily: "Does Master Hou want me to apologize for blaming you for your mistakes?"
She escaped from death, and he broke with her about such trivial matters.
Could it be that in his eyes, her life and death are not as good as his innocuous innocence?
The moment he saw Zhao Dezhu, Jiang Shu understood that his escape had nothing to do with Shen Changze.
It's just that Shen Changze mentioned it at this time, and she really felt ridiculous.
"I'm sorry, Master Hou." Jiang Shu's eyes were slightly wet, and he choked up and apologized.
Shen Changze frowned: "I didn't mean that. ”
Jiang Shu turned his head to look out the window, and a tear rolled down his cheek.
Seeing that she was so unreasonable, Shen Changze said angrily: "You are very familiar with King Jing?"
King Jing, who has always been indifferent and doesn't like to make friends with people, not only saved Jiang Shu, but also personally sent her back to the house and helped her get out of the car. even deliberately explained to him that he took the initiative to help Jiang Shu cover and protect her reputation.
In this way, there must be a hidden secret.
"What is Master Hou suspicious?" Jiang Shu stared at Shen Changze directly, his eyes full of sarcasm.
Shen Changze was stabbed by her gaze, and his expression was slightly annoyed: "I am your husband, you have a friendship with a foreign man, I have the right to ask." ”
Good one has the right to ask.
Jiang Shu hooked his lips and said calmly: "If I say that I am not familiar with King Jing, Hou Ye is credible?"
Although she and Yu Zheng have life-saving grace for each other, they have no intersection, so how can they be familiar with each other?
Shen Changze pursed his lips and stared at her, his face full of disbelief.
Jiang Shu chuckled, expecting it in his heart.
"Are you really not familiar with King Jing?" Shen Changze asked unwillingly.
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, trust is lost, and nothing is said in vain.
Jiang Shu knew this well, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense, and asked directly: "What does Master Hou want to hear?"
"I just want to hear the truth from you." Shen Changze's eyes shrank, and his words were persecutive.
"I'm not familiar with King Jing, but I'm a little familiar with the eldest princess."
Jiang Shu felt very tired, and didn't want to entangle with Shen Changze more, so he turned around and lay down.
However, Shen Changze refused to let her go, and kept saying, "It's just like this?"
"Master Hou wants to hear anything, you might as well say it directly." Jiang Shu was a little annoyed, and his voice became cold.
Shen Changze's anger suddenly rose: "What is your attitude?"
Jiang Shuxiu frowned and said, "I'm really tired today, and I don't want to argue with Hou Ye uselessly." If Master Hou thinks that I have a bad attitude, go find Aunt Xu. ”
"Jiang Shu, have you forgotten, who is in charge of this mansion?" Shen Changze suddenly leaned over and pressed her.
Apricot eyes widened suddenly, and then shrunk in disgust, Jiang Shu trembled and asked in a cold voice, "What does Master Hou want to do?"
"I'm your husband, you can do whatever you want." Shen Changze raised his hand angrily and ripped open Jiang Shu's collar.
Jiang Shu knew that he couldn't resist, so he simply gave up struggling, and sneered like ashes: "Master Hou's move is no different from the mountain bandits who persecuted me today. ”
"What did you say!" Shen Changze was angry and red-eyed, and his appearance was fierce as if he was about to swallow Jiang Shu alive.
Jiang Shu didn't want to look at him anymore, and closed his eyes mockingly. A hot tear rolled down and dripped onto the back of Shen Changze's hand.
The hand holding Jiang Shu's face was hot, and Shen Changze suddenly got up and left angrily.
Jiang Shu lay on the soft couch, motionless.
She opened her eyes and looked at the flickering candle flame, thinking about Shen Changze's persistent question, and a thought suddenly flashed in her mind.
Mrs. Xiu in Beijing didn't look down on her as the daughter of a businessman, but Yu Lan did not dislike it and took the initiative to befriend her. When she was being bullied, she did not shy away from standing up to defend her, where did the so-called come from?
Yu Zheng, was he instructed it?
King Jing sent Jiang Shu back to his house, and the secret conversation with Shen Changze reached the ears of Shen's mother and Mrs. Shen, and they immediately asked him for questioning.
"Grandmother, mother." Shen Changze greeted with a calm face.
Old Madam Shen retreated and asked anxiously, "How could King Jing send Jiang Shu back to his house?" What are you looking for?"
Shen Changze said briefly: "When Jiang Shu returned to Beijing, he encountered mountain bandits on the road, and King Jing happened to pass by and rescued him, and discussed with me about hiding Jiang Shu's encounter with bandits to protect the reputation of the Hou Mansion." ”
"Why does King Jing want to help the Hou Mansion?" Shen's mother was puzzled.
King Jing's temperament is well known to everyone in Beijing, and he is by no means a nosy person.
Old Madam Shen also had a questioning expression.
Shen Changze twisted his eyebrows and said the reason Jiang Shu gave him: "Jiang Shu is familiar with the eldest princess. ”
"Look at me in a hurry, I forgot about this stubble. That makes sense. Shen's mother smiled suddenly, and her doubts disappeared.
Old Madam Shen no longer doubted, and asked about something else: "How could you go back to Beijing separately from Shu'er?"
With Shen Changze's martial arts, if he was with Jiang Shu, he might not need King Jing to save him.
"I ...... I received an urgent letter and need to rush back to deal with it. Shen Changze casually lied.
Mother Shen caressed her heart and said, "Fortunately, you returned to Beijing ahead of schedule and didn't meet those vicious mountain bandits." ”
She heard that the guards in the palace were all dead, and if Shen Changze was there, she was afraid that she would be injured if she didn't die.
As for Jiang Shu, she is safe and sound, and whoever saves her is the same.
The most important thing now is to restrain the people in the mansion and prevent them from talking nonsense and ruining the reputation of the Hou Mansion.
