After the clouds and rain retreated, Zhu Yinzhou casually put aside the clues related to the Jiang family's murder, and took out the jade pendant he had recently carried with him from his arms and held it in his palm.

The jade is delicate and warm to the touch, which will make people unconsciously think of the girl who sent it to him.

Ming Shubai and Lin Yuanhui have known Shen Hanshuang for a long time, but she married Zhu Yinzhou three years ago and became his wife.

This shows that she has no intention of them.

After three years of husband and wife, Zhu Yinzhou knew Shen Hanshuang's heart for him, and he also clearly remembered the tenderness that couldn't be hidden in her beautiful eyes when she looked at her.

It was Zhu Yinzhou who didn't think that Shen Hanshuang would accept other men so quickly.

Even if Ming Shubai is Shen Hanshuang's cousin, Lin Yuanhui also found an opportunity to live in the Ming Mansion, which is much closer to Shen Hanshuang, which is nothing.

Zhu Yinzhou came to Luoyang on this trip, and the only private thing was to ask Shen Hanshuang why he suddenly wanted to reconcile. But he doesn't think empathy is the reason.

If it was indeed as Lin Zhi guessed, it was because Chen Lanshuang lived in the Pingnan Mansion that night, or because he didn't rush home on Shen Hanshuang's birthday, Zhu Yinzhou would explain the inside story with her.

And if it was because of other things that he couldn't change or influence, Zhu Yinzhou would naturally not be stalked.

As a husband and wife, if Shen Hanshuang can find another lover, whether that person is Ming Shubai, Lin Yuanhui, or someone else, he wishes her a safe and smooth life.

After clearing his thoughts, Zhu Yinzhou put the jade pendant back in his arms and continued to look through the records of the Jiang family's murder.

*

In the Ming family's mansion.

Although Lin Yuanhui is a guest of the Ming family, he is also a junior, and he took the initiative to visit Shen Hanshuang's grandmother, the old lady of the Ming family.

Ming Shuxue didn't sleep well last night, and was making up for sleep in the room at this time, so Ming Shubai and Shen Hanshuang went to the old lady's Yunsongzhai with Lin Yuanhui.

The old lady got the news in advance and had already ordered someone to prepare tea and snacks.

When the three of them appeared together, the old lady smiled gently at first, and soon noticed something, and couldn't help but look twice.

Shen Hanshuang was flanked by Ming Shubai and Lin Yuanhui, and the appearance of the three of them was extremely outstanding, and they looked particularly eye-catching.

One is a gentle and jade-like young man, and the other is a tall and calm young general, both of whom should have thought about the girl beside them. In the eyes of the vicious old lady, this can't be hidden.

I don't know if my granddaughter has a favorite.

Maybe it's not impossible to accept them all?

The old lady didn't like to be shackled by the rules when she was young, and although she was a lot more restrained after becoming an elder, she still occasionally had some inconvenient things in her heart for the juniors to know.

The old lady hid these shocking thoughts, and said softly: "The left waits don't come, and the right waits don't come, I think you are lost at home." ”

Shen Hanshuang walked quickly to her grandmother's side and said softly, "When someone came to deliver the news to you, we were already walking this way, and there was no delay at all." You must have missed me so much. ”

The old lady smiled and rubbed her black hair, and said kindly: "The last time I saw you beautiful girl was when I had breakfast, and I really missed you so much." ”

In fact, it has not been half a day, Shen Hanshuang deliberately said this kind of meaty words, and in the past, her grandmother would follow her, and both grandparents and grandchildren were happy with it.

But at this time, in front of the guests, Shen Hanshuang felt a little embarrassed afterwards: "You made fun of me again." ”

The old lady looked at General Lin Xiao and Ming Shubai on the side, and deliberately asked, "You are commenting, am I making fun of her?" ”

Facing the kind old man, Lin Yuanhui's eyebrows softened, and he said with a smile: "The younger generation doesn't dare to comment on this reason, I just think that you and her are what people often call 'next-generation relatives', and it looks very enviable." ”

Lin Yuanhui had never seen Shen Hanshuang's appearance at this time.

softly whispered, showing attachment and intimacy to the elders without hesitation, and finally no longer the dignified princess in front of people.

"I am indeed envious," Ming Shubai said in a serious tone, but what he said was not, "It's also grandchildren, and grandmother still prefers cousin and Shuxue." ”

"I'm still jealous," teased the old lady, "and the girl's house is beautiful and gentle, and I naturally like it." If you are willing to be coquettish with me like the two of them, my grandmother will definitely love you even more. ”

Ming Shubai was choked by his grandmother's words, and said helplessly: "It seems that I can't envy it." ”

Several people couldn't help but laugh.

The three of them accompanied the old lady and talked for a while, and then stayed for lunch.

Knowing that the old lady had the habit of taking a nap, several people stopped staying for a long time, said goodbye to the old lady, and prepared to leave.

But the old lady left Ming Shubai alone, saying that she had something to ask him.

Shen Hanshuang took Lin Yuanhui out of Yunsongzhai first.

Watching her granddaughter and General Lin Xiao leave, the old lady looked sideways at the eldest grandson who still did not withdraw her gaze, and teased him:

"Is it my old wife who misread your thoughts, or can't you see General Lin Xiaoshuang's thoughts about Hanshuang?"

Shen Hanshuang didn't pay attention, but the old lady saw it very clearly, and Lin Yuanhui would subconsciously look at Shen Hanshuang from time to time. It should be a habit that has been cultivated for many years and cannot be hidden.

Ming Shubai was a little helpless: "My grandson regrets it." ”

The old lady reminded: "Hanshuang has just reconciled and left, I'm afraid I don't have any intention of this. ”

"That's fine, since my cousin has no intention of doing this, then she should treat me and General Lin Xiao as no exception."

"Guests who come from afar will always leave one day."

But he will always be Shen Hanshuang's family.

In this matter, Ming Shubai is very patient.

The old lady knew that he, like Shen Hanshuang, had a good idea, and once he decided on something, it would be difficult to be convinced.

She didn't persuade much, but said: "Neither I nor your father will interfere in these things, it all depends on your own fate." ”

"But there is only one thing, you can't be wronged by Hanshuang."

"My grandson understands." Ming Shu Bowen said.

She has been begged for many years by him, how could he be willing to let her be wronged.

*

The sun was a little poisonous, Shen Hanshuang and Lin Yuanhui walked side by side in the shade of the tree, talking a few words from time to time, and getting along naturally.

When passing by Mingxi Courtyard, Lin Yuanhui saw the tall pomegranate tree inside through the low wall, and recalled the past: "In the Shen family, your grandfather, uncle, and cousins didn't let me enter through the main gate, so I could only climb over the wall to steal the pomegranates in your yard. ”

"Who would have thought? The son of the dignified General Lin is hungry for those pomegranates every year. Shen Hanshuang teased with a smile.

Whether in the Ming Mansion or the Shen Mansion, everyone loves to pick and peel pomegranates for Shen Hanshuang, but Lin Yuanhui will come to steal her fruit every year, and always pick the biggest one.

Lin Yuanhui's eyes drooped slightly, and he said unclearly: "Indeed, who would have thought of it." ”

"The pomegranate tree planted by Shen Xiang is particularly good, so the fruit is much sweeter than that of other places."

Lin Yuanhui once thought that after he earned back his military merits, he could go to Shen Mansion to see Shen Hanshuang openly, marry her, and plant her favorite fruits and flowers at home.

But she married Zhu Yinzhou and became the princess.

After the rebels forced the palace, Lin Yuanhui thought that Shen Hanshuang would become a noble princess and be one step further away from him, but learned that she had made peace with Zhu Yinzhou.

On the way to Luoyang, Lin Yuanhui did not notice that someone was also secretly guarding Shen Hanshuang. But that person was extremely vigilant, and he was very good at hiding his figure, and Lin Yuanhui never saw his appearance clearly.

Until yesterday, when Shen Hanshuang was riding a horse with Ming Shubai and Ming Shuxue in the grassland, Lin Yuanhui found a figure he was very familiar with beside the man.

Zhu Yinzhou also came to Luoyang.

But so what?

Lin Yuanhui was a step late three years ago, and this time, he came to her before Zhu Yinzhou.

*

Early the next morning.

Funeral arrangements were made everywhere in the Jiang family, and people who came in and out were also dressed in plain white clothes.

There are not many people who come to the Jiang family today.

Jiang is both a white official and the first assistant, so naturally many people want to have a relationship with him. But Jiang Jibai only had some friendship with the Ming family, and in addition, he only sent news of the funeral to the homes of a few people close to his parents.

Jiang Jibai has been guarding his parents' coffins in the mourning hall to thank the people who came for their condolences.

Some murderers will return after the killing, appreciating their results.

It was Zhu Yinzhou who was also in the Jiang family, secretly observing everyone who came to mourn to see if any of them looked different.

Soon after, Zhu Yinzhou keenly noticed that Jiang Jibai, who had been facing no waves before, straightened his back and looked at the door with deep eyes-

It was the three brothers and sisters Ming Shubai, Ming Shuxue and Shen Hanshuang who came, and Lin Yuanhui was also followed.

Zhu Yinzhou's eyes narrowed slightly, and he followed Jiang Jibai's eyes to confirm the location of his gaze.

Shen Hanshuang.

She is wearing a pure white dress today, without powder, like a light snowflake falling into this solemn and sad world.

Suddenly looking at the black eyes that were as white and quiet as water in the river, Shen Hanshuang couldn't help but pause.

She almost forgot that since they met many years ago, every time Jiang Jibai looked at her, he had such a look.

The eyebrows and eyes are cold, but there seems to be a deep lake in the eyes. It was clear that she didn't say anything, and it seemed that she was hiding something in her eyes that she should understand.

Jiang Jibai said something to the people around him, got up and walked towards her and Ming Shubai.

He first talked to Ming Shubai and Ming Shuxue, and then seemed to notice Lin Yuanhui, who should not have appeared in Luoyang at this time.

The two glanced at each other, and then tacitly greeted each other with courtesy.

After entering the mourning hall with Jiang Jibai to mourn the deceased, Ming Shubai saw an old friend of his father, so he first took Ming Shuxue over to greet the elders.

Before leaving, Ming Shu Bai glanced at Lin Yuanhui as if unintentionally.

Lin Yuanhui didn't have to, and didn't want to leave, but Jiang Jibai said to Shen Hanshuang in a warm voice: "Miss Shen, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Shen Hanshuang didn't think much about it, agreed to come down, and followed him to a secluded place on the side.

When no one was disturbed, Jiang Jibai finally said: "Miss Shen, it's been a long time." ”

The voice is like a sigh.

Shen Hanshuang raised her eyes to look at the man in front of her and said softly, "It's been a long time." ”

"Gongzi Jiang, please mourn."

In the past, every time Shen Hanshuang saw Jiang Jibai, he was wearing azure clothes. Today, he was wearing a white coarse cloth mourning dress, and the cold loneliness in his temperament deepened a little.

Jiang Jibai didn't mention much about the upheaval of the Jiang family, but only reminded Shen Hanshuang in a positive tone: "The prince also came to Luoyang and is in Jiangfu at this time." ”

Shen Hanshuang was quiet, and immediately thought that Zhu Yinzhou should be the person sent by Chang'an to thoroughly investigate the murder of the Jiang family that his cousin had mentioned.

"Thank you Gongzi Jiang for reminding me." Shen Hanshuang said warmly.

Zhu Yinzhou is now the crown prince, and everyone is paying attention to his movements, so she just avoids him. lest others gossip and increase the incident.

Zhu Yinzhou came for official business, the private matter between her and him is over, and there is indeed no need to meet again.

As soon as Shen Hanshuang finished thinking about it, as soon as she raised her eyes, she saw that across the courtyard, under the corridor opposite, Zhu Yinzhou was standing tall and jade, looking at her silently.

Shen Hanshuang calmly withdrew his eyes, didn't look at him again, and continued to talk to Jiang Jibai.

Zhu Yinzhou also looked away with a cold expression.

The breeze blew, and some yellow leaves fell on the dead trees in the courtyard, and one slowly fell on Shen Han's frosty green silk.

Seeing that she didn't realize anything, Jiang Jibai raised his hand to help her take it off.

Shen Hanshuang paused and didn't avoid it.

"Thank you." She took the yellowed, but perfect fallen leaf in his hand.

Thinking of something, Shen Hanshuang asked softly: "Or do you want to make a leaf sign and send it to you?" ”

Jiang Jibai smiled rarely, and responded: "Okay." ”

Zhu Yinzhou was originally patiently observing the guests of the Jiang Mansion, and he couldn't help but see this scene when he turned his head sideways.

He frowned subconsciously, and a few wisps of displeasure and irritability crossed his heart for the first time.

Jiang Jibai and Shen Hanshuang are obviously not familiar with each other, but they have a tacit understanding that only the two of them can understand.

That's something he and Shen Hanshuang haven't had in three years of marriage.

Before he realized it, Zhu Yinzhou had already walked towards Shen Hanshuang.
