Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 243 Are You Here Too?

"No matter what method we use, no matter how ruthless or not, our goal is to get Xiao Huai away from her side."

Wen Chan took a sip of tea and did not answer directly.

"Only when Xiao Huai leaves her and she has nothing to rely on, can we act without any worries."

After she finished speaking, she lowered her eyes and flicked the tea leaves hanging from the mouth of the cup with her fingers.

Seeing the cold light flashing in her eyes, Han Shuhua said in a daze, "But how can we have a chance to strike? Look at them now, as long as something happens to her, Xiao Huai will definitely come over as soon as possible!"

Once Xiao Huai came, would there be room for them to withdraw?
"There will be." Wen Chan's lips curled into a sneer, "Be patient, wait until October. Besides, I still have something Shen Xi wants to dig."

October?

And what else did Shen Xi want to dig out?
Han Shuhua became more and more at a loss.

Shen Xi was not completely sure whether Han Shuhua would come to see her or not.

But she believed that she was moved anyway.

Qi Jiu on the side of the Han family continued to stare, while the Shen family also welcomed Shen Xin who had returned to her mother's house to live on the other side of the moon.

The day of the opposite month coincided with the Double Ninth Festival, and the inside and outside of the house were cleaned up, and the firecrackers were ringing non-stop at the door.

Grandpa and aunt are all radiant.

Shen Xin looked like a beautiful young woman.

The mother-in-law and servant girl who went to Yang's house also said that Shen Xin was well behaved in her in-law's house and was repeatedly praised. Not only Madam Yang was happy, but the old lady of Yang's family who was on the sick bed was also happy.

And the people who had heard the rumors gradually lost their doubts after seeing her in person.

As for whether there is harmony between Yang Qian and Shen Xin, just look at the spring in the corners of Shen Xin's eyes and there is no need to have any doubts.

However, after Shen Xin heard about Lin Pei's ending, she sighed in private twice: "How could this happen? It's a pity."

Other than that, I didn't say anything else.

As expected, Lin Pei was in Beijing on the third day after Shen Xizi and Xiao Huai separated, and Miss Hu was taken directly to the Lin family to be raised.

Anyway, it's just eating with more mouths, which is not a problem for the Lin family.

As for the wedding, how could the Lin family have the face to arrange it with such a daughter-in-law?The Hu family will not make any demands.

Ding Chuchu also felt a thunderbolt from the blue sky, afraid that he would die on the battlefield like the dead uncle.

But after being persuaded by her husband and daughter, she gradually eased back.

Lin Pei was proud and arrogant. Such a marriage had already cost him half of his time. If he were to stay with Miss Hu in the mansion day and night, he might not be forced to fall ill.

It's better to go to the military camp and let him make meritorious deeds. Now that he has made meritorious deeds in the future, he can still win favor in front of the emperor.

Shen Yan has come to Minxiang Courtyard more and more times.

She seldom talks, when Shen Xi has something to say, she talks, when she has nothing to say, she is doing sewing from the side, or playing chess with her, or helping to manage the servants, now there are more people in the yard , Newcomers may not know the rules, and there are often things that need to be mentioned.

In addition, I went out with her to socialize with ladies and gentlemen, and finally someone came to inquire about her marriage.

It was inevitable that talking about the marriage contract with the Mei family aroused her thoughts.

"I just can't get past myself," she said.

"Doesn't matter whether it's closed or not. I'm suffocated to death every day locked at home. It's rare that the sun is so good. Let's go to the street to hang out?"

Just as she was talking, Shen Xin's voice came loudly.

Shen Xi also didn't go out to the streets for some days.

Now Xiao Huai doesn't let her go to Qionghua Terrace, but Shen Xi is also free when he is free, and if there is important jade in the shop, he still asks Liu Ling to bring it to the mansion for her to see.

The three of them rode the carriage together to the Osmanthus alley in Beicheng, where the cloth and satins were concentrated.

There are only two streets between Osmanthus Hutong and Yuji Mansion. The road here is wide, and the big pagoda trees on both sides of the road have a history of hundreds of years.

It is said to be an alley, but it is wider than the main street. It was the main road for King Helian to conquer the world and enter Beijing triumphantly.

Naturally, the road has not been brand new for hundreds of years, and cracks in the stone slabs can be seen everywhere, but when Shen Xi was young, he often wandered in this area.

"Guanguan Jujiu, in the river continent..."

While Shen Xi was waiting for the two of them to pick up goods, they were basking in the sun in front of the door, when suddenly the sound of a child reading a book came to his ears.

Another clear male voice sounded softly: "My fair lady, a gentleman is so sweet..."

She frowned slightly, stopped and turned into the alley entrance, looking at the person holding the book through the long window.

The face standing upright in the classroom is extremely handsome, with the elegance of a literati and the elegance of a warrior.

The people in the room looked at Shen Xi outside the window, and suddenly stopped their voices.

She stood silently with him across the window for a long while before she regained her breath and asked, "Mr. He Lan?"

She seemed to have experienced the same surprise not long ago, and it was still in front of Zhang's house.

The Zhang family is only two streets away from here.

Her heart twitched a little.The illusion of the past and present came to mind again.

When she came back to her senses again, she had already entered the school and was eating tea made by He Lanzhun in the courtyard at the back.

"Why are you in a place like this?" she asked.

If it wasn't for him still wearing Master Helan's usual attire, she would have thought she had mistakenly seen Xu Jing.

Did she and Xu Jing come to this street less often?There used to be a dim sum shop she liked, a sugar figurine shop, and a shop selling Western gadgets.

She didn't know whether it was a coincidence or something that He Lanzhun appeared in her hometown twice, but the thought that had faded from the bottom of her heart gradually resurfaced at this time.

"This private school is opened by Huo Jiu, and I will come here to teach when I have time."

He Lanzhun's upper body rested on his left knee, and his other hand supported his right knee. There was no unnaturalness in his answer.

"Huo Jiu?" Shen Xi suddenly remembered the man in fresh clothes and angry horse he met at the gate of the palace.

She didn't expect that the frightening prison chief would open a private school here?

But if Huo Jiu really opened it, then it's not surprising that he appeared here.

"It's him." He Lanzhun said flatly.He raised his eyes again and said, "Is it strange?"

"Oh, I'm a little curious." Shen Xi coughed to cover it up.I don't know if it was her delusion, but there was a hint of sarcasm in his eyes when he asked this question.

"Master Huo, why do you open a private school here?" She asked again.

"This private school existed a few years ago. Huo Jiu passed by here at the time, and happened to meet that old private school Mr. was dying, and the children nearby had no place to study, so he took over.

"But in fact he hasn't read much, so please ask me to come and give lectures when I have time."

His tone was calm and steady, not as distant and gentle as in the teahouse last time, nor as aggressive as in the gambling house.

In fact, the few times I saw him later, he was a little indifferent.

Shen Xi also knew that she was a half-married woman, so she consciously kept a distance from him and sat upright.

Just as he was about to drink the tea in his hand and say goodbye, he suddenly asked, "What's the relationship between you and Mrs. Han?"

The voice was very soft and subtle, but Shen Xi still heard it clearly.
