Prince Rong has kept a low profile in these years, and the northwest has been unstable in the past few years. Even if there is news about something bad happening to someone in the court, it is not worth mentioning when the two countries are at war. Therefore, in the capital, the reputation of Prince Rong's Mansion is relatively not bad.

But when Pei Yu stabbed the door wall of Prince Rong's palace, public opinion in the city exploded. Just because King Rong had a good reputation in the past, it was suddenly revealed that Yang Zhan was trying to disrupt the wedding of General Pei Zhan, the Pingxi general. Of course, everyone was talking more vigorously than usual.

In particular, Guo Song followed Pei Zhan's order to publicize the matter, so the whole thing seemed to actually happen in front of everyone, including how Yang Zhan trained the Yangzhou thin horse and planned to send it to the Pei family as an informant. They were all exposed directly.

When Yongping sent people back to Xu Mansion to invite Xu Yin, Xu Yin had indeed returned home. And it was precisely because he heard the news that the Pei family had launched an investigation that he hurried back home.

"This Yang Zhan really succeeds more than he does! They have directly offended the Pei family, and it will be even more difficult for me and the Pei family to interact in the future!"

Xu Yin walked back and forth in the study with a gloomy face, "Don't he have a little more brains? It was like this six years ago, and it's still like this six years later!

"If he hadn't been able to handle that little thing back then, how could he have had all these troubles later??"

Under his anger, he couldn't even breathe out as freely as usual.

He said: "But the younger one feels that the Pei family is making a fuss about this matter. In fact, based on the prince's behavior, it is not a big deal to propose giving a girl to Pei Zhan.

"He doesn't agree. He can refuse it outright. It doesn't go to the point where he has to take action. They are using the situation as an excuse."

Xu Yin glanced at him: "What else?"

Continuous silence.

Xu Yin said coldly: "I discovered Pei Zhan was hostile to me a long time ago. The first time he greeted me, his eyes were indescribably cold.

"Later, when he went to Liang's house several times, Liang Chen happened to ask him to accompany him, and then we had formal contact. But it was not a warm relationship at all.

“Earlier, I thought it was just my misunderstanding, but then I met him on the street and he made those unkind words to me, and I realized that I had no misunderstanding at all.

“He just doesn’t like my friendship.

"After what happened today, I can conclude one more thing. He not only hates me, but also hates Prince Rong's Mansion."

Lian Ruan was silent for a moment: "He is only in his twenties. Perhaps he is young and energetic and cannot allow me to be better than him."

"Who would believe this kind of reason?" Xu Yin glanced at him, "If he doesn't even understand that he can't be willful in his friendship with courtiers, then I really have to doubt how he fought in the past six years. Got down.

"Be more confident, he just doesn't want to make friends with me from the bottom of his heart, and he doesn't even want to be perfunctory.

“Rather than second-guessing this, let’s think about it, why does he reject me so much?

"Have I not behaved well in front of others over the years? Is there something about my behavior that made him feel unworthy of his friendship?"

When Xu Yin said this, he spread his hands and raised his voice, unable to hide the sneer in his words.

Lian Ruan lowered his head: "My master's reputation abroad is obvious to all, and there is no way he could be anything less than thoughtful. If there is, the Liang family will not keep in touch with the master."

"So, why does he reject me so much?" Xu Yin narrowed his eyes, "I, Xu Yin, can interact with people from top to bottom in the court, and I am somewhat confident in handling people's hearts.

"He and I are both civil servants and military generals, and we have nothing to do with each other on official business, so there is no conflict of interest."

Lian Ruan lowered his head: "This subordinate is stupid. I really don't know why?"

Xu Yin muttered: "Don't you think his marriage to Fu Zhen is strange?"

Lian Ruan raised his head and said, "What do you mean, sir?" Xu Yin looked at the headpiece on the wall with deep eyes: "In addition to the interests above the court, there may be other interests. For example, the Liang family."

Lian Ran's eyes were filled with confusion: "What does this have to do with the Liang family?"

Xu Yin stretched out his hand to take off the head knife and held it in his hand: "I have worked hard to maintain contacts with the Liang family for so many years. First, I made friends with the Cheng and Du families through the Liang family. Second, I was forced by the situation to do this. Do.

"Liang Ning had many fans back then, and there were also many suitors among them. I don't know if Pei Zhan is one of them."

Lian Ruan was a little speechless: "That can't be done, right? The heads of those families have all worshiped each other, so they are brothers with different surnames. Logically speaking, Pei Zhan has to call Miss Liang his aunt."

"What's that?" Xu Yin muttered, "If you really like someone, why do you need to worry about this? Even if you marry someone, you will still take him away."

Lian Ruan frowned: "But the master asked me to inquire about Pei Zhan and Miss Liang's past, but I didn't hear that they had ever crossed paths."

"I know this too."

After Xu Yin finished speaking, he was silent for a moment, and then slowly continued: "But he married Fuzhen."

"..."

"Fu Zhen is so similar to her." Xu Yin rubbed his head with his fingers and spoke very slowly, "Every time I see her, I always think of the other one unconsciously."

Lian Long took a deep breath: "Master, do you still think that Fu Zhen may be Miss Liang?"

Xu Yin was speechless, just shook his head slightly.

Lian Ruan took a step forward and said, "I just want to ask you, if Fu Zhen is really her, what should you do?"

Xu Yin's fingers stopped at the edge of the head.

"That assumption doesn't make sense."

He put his head down. "I just want to say that Pei Zhan married a woman who is very similar to Liang Ning, and their marriage negotiation period was so short, and their status was so disparate, doesn't it explain some problems?

"Even if you haven't heard of any interactions between them, given that Pei Zhan has such close contact with the Liang family, how could he avoid contact with Liang Ning?

"And if he likes Liang Ning and is hostile to me, Liang Ning's ex-fiancé, isn't it normal?"

After listening for a long time, he pondered, "Then how should we deal with the current situation?"

Xu Yin said: "Even if Fu Zhen cannot be Liang Ning, Pei Zhan's eagerness to marry her at least shows that he values ​​her.

"Today's facts happened because of Fu Zhen. The Pei family and his son made such a big fuss. Even if half of it was to deal with Prince Rong's palace, the other half was to appease her.

"Go and find out more about her. I heard that he has been in close contact with Cheng Zhili and Liang Chen and his wife recently. It's best to find out all her contacts with these people.

At this point, he took a deep breath: "She suddenly appeared, only three or four months before and after. The movements came one after another, which is really hard to ignore."

He nodded repeatedly and asked, "What if she is really important to Pei Zhan?"

Xu Yin glanced at him: "If it's true, wouldn't it be a good thing? It's rare that the impeccable General Pei has a weakness."
