Chapter 204 Did You Do It?

Qi Jiu agreed to go on, so he started to talk.

After lunch, Qi Jiu brought back a message: "Since Lin Pei was given a marriage, he has been depressed for days, and he didn't even go to the Imperial Prison."

Of course there will be depression, who wouldn't be depressed in such a marriage?
It would be fine if Miss Hu had a sound mind, but she is still crazy and stupid, even if she wants to cultivate some affection, she can't do anything.

Shen Xi waved his fan and pondered for a while, then took a pen and wrote a short note, called Wang Er to come in and said, "Go to the Lin Mansion and give it to Mr. Lin, be sure to meet him."

Wang'er was a little puzzled, but she went there immediately.

The Lin family has been in a state of depression for many days. It is impossible for the Lin family to have no objection with the emperor's imperial decree.

Lin Juntao and his wife went to the palace to meet the Emperor and Empress Dowager Zheng respectively that day, but the little emperor was in a hurry at last, anyway, he only asked them to look for Xiao Huai, and they hesitated again.

One is that they can't offend Xiao Huai, and the other is that Xiao Huai's words were clearly targeted deliberately, and they don't know where Lin Pei offended him.

When he came back in a hurry and asked, Lin Pei was also puzzled.All he knew was that he went to see Shen Xi and got such an imperial edict when he came back.

It wasn't until Xiao Huai and Shen Xi's imperial decree of marriage came down that he finally realized something!
Not to mention what kind of mood, neither melancholy, nor worry, nor regret, simply shut the door and never see anyone.

Everyone in the Lin family was in a hurry. After all, he was the eldest grandson. Seeing that there was no hope of carrying on the family line in this life, if something happened to him, wouldn't it make things worse?

Ding's eyes haven't been dry in the past few days.If it wasn't for being Shen Xin's matchmaker, she wouldn't even come out.

Mrs. Lin regretted repeatedly that she didn't follow his heart and make promises to Shen Xi.

Needless to say, Lin Juntao and his son, who can be blamed for this matter?Especially when Mrs. Ding and her husband know something about what Lin Pei did back then.

Everyone just swallowed this loss by default, but after all, this loss is not small, so how could it be swallowed so smoothly?

All in all, the Lin family was in a state of gloom beyond description.

When Wang'er arrived at Lin's house, Mrs. Ding heard him say that he came to see Lin Pei, she straightened her back and was stunned for a while, then hurriedly led him to Lin Pei's courtyard——

Regardless of whether Lin Pei's marriage was directly related to Shen Xi or not, half of his heart troubles were caused by her. In any case, she pointed at Wang'er to pull him up this time!

Lin Pei was lying on the bed, and when he heard that it was someone sent by Shen Xi, his head moved.

After staring at the top of the tent for a while, he suddenly opened the door.

Shen Xi was thinking about whether Wang'er's trip would be successful, and whether she needed to make another plan, so the little maid here came to report that Mr. Lin was here.

Here he brought Qi Jiu to the front hall.

After a few days of not seeing each other, Lin Peiren has lost weight again, and the vigor and vigor of being a master of the capital in the past is gone.Seeing Shen Xi, he greeted him and said, "Are you really going to marry Xiao Jihan?" He didn't know whether it was excitement or resentment, but he actually called Xiao Huai's name.

Shen Xi fixed him for a long while without moving.

Only then did he realize his gaffe.After sweeping everyone around, he dropped his shoulders.Glaring at Shen Xi again, he entered the front hall with her.

Shen Xi watched everyone from a distance, and then skipped all the pleasantries and said: "That day in the teahouse, when I was leaving, I heard you say something to me, I don't know what it is."

Lin Pei said coldly, "Is that why you called me here to ask this?"

Shen Xi didn't make a sound.

"My imperial decree of bestowing marriage, but you asked the prince of Yan to ask for it?" He said again, "I never imagined that you are such a person, in order to take revenge on me, you would not hesitate to use such a despicable method?!
"Do you think you will take revenge on me like this, do you think that with Xiao Jihan, the future will be peaceful?!"

Shen Xi caught the focus instantly: "So I'm not married enough?"

He said angrily: "If you are not Miss Shen's family at all, but just an orphan girl with unknown origin, I wonder if you will still have the confidence to step into Prince Yan's Mansion?!"

Shen Xi looked at him without moving.

He couldn't help her gaze, and suddenly raised his hand irritably to stroke the back of his head.

He walked to the curtain and stood still, then turned around quickly: "Why did you remember to ask me this?!"

"I was bored, so I thought about it." Compared to his irritability, Shen Xi was extremely calm.

Lin Pei glared at her again, and immediately became absorbed, then returned to the original place and sat down, and said, "It doesn't matter whether you suspect that I am fabricating it or make alarmist remarks, since you refuse to marry me, you have already made an appointment with Prince Yan's son." dear, then I have to tell you too.

"You are not the Shen family's daughter at all, you were adopted!"

Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his eyes to look at Qi Jiu who was standing under the door, and Qi Jiu happened to turn back to look at her.

"Where does that come from?" she said.

Lin Pei was still looking at the sweet-scented osmanthus tree outside the door, and gritted his teeth: "I never told anyone about this, and neither did my mother. What I told you that day was actually not exhaustive."

Seeing her holding her breath, he calmed down a little, and continued: "When I was lying on the snow, I actually heard more than one or two sentences.

"At that time, your father was not on his way, and there was another person with him.

"At that time, their carriage got stuck in a roadside ditch because of the snow, and while they were waiting for someone to help pull the cart, the two of them chatted under the cart.

"Apart from a few words about your father saving the next Helian, there are a few more words about your life experience.

"I vaguely heard your father say, 'Sister Xi has learned a lot of poetry recently'. Then the man said: 'Our sister is naturally good.'"

"I was very surprised when I heard this, and it was also when I heard the phrase 'Sister Xi' that I suddenly realized that it was your father who spoke.

"Just as I was about to listen, their voices dropped again, even if I have martial arts, I can't hear them.

"In the end, I heard the man sigh slightly and say: 'It's a pity it's not my own.'

"Afterwards your father said: 'What are you talking about? Zhuo Jing has always had the regret of having no children. We are very lucky to have Sister Xi. Whether it is our flesh and blood, I don't care so much.'

"So, you are not a child of the Shen family at all!"

He still had a bit of resentment when he said this, but he was even more confused.

Saying such words around her head is like a bolt from the blue to her!Although he felt that he was cruel, he couldn't vomit at the moment!

"The Shen family and Prince Yan's family have very different backgrounds. You are just an adopted daughter. If you let the Xiao family know, how beautiful you will be!"

Although Shen Xi was silent, he was only a little apprehensive.

She thought that what Lin Pei knew was her exact background, at least she knew which noble family she came from, but she didn't expect that he just heard the fact that she was adopted...
