Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 248

When Xiao Huai sent Shen Xi back to Shen's residence, it was already late in the third watch.

Qi Jiu had already returned, and was guarding the corner gate with Wang'er.And Wanrong Hall has already turned on the lights, and if it was a quarter and a half later, Shen Ruopu might bump into him and go out.

"Why have you been here for so long?" Qi Jiu couldn't help asking, and his clear eyes couldn't help but stare at her narrowly.

Shen Xi stretched out his hand to pat her, and when he entered the room, he asked, "What happened to Liuxu?"

Qi Jiu said solemnly: "I talked to her, and she refused to say how she got out of the mansion, but she was still moved when she heard that I could get Mi Xiang out for her, and kept asking me Can it succeed?

"It is also said that Mi Xiang helped Wen Chan with many immoral things in the past, and there are some clues to the secrets of the Han family's inner house. It is not difficult for me to find an opportunity to sneak in and destroy Mi Xiang.

"But she still has some hesitation about my identity. After all, she has stayed in the Han family for many years, and she has to ask me about my background before she will do it."

Shen Xi frowned.After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Don't pester her like this. Be decisive! Speak hard words to her, and then give her some sweets, whether she likes it or not!"

"If she doesn't do it, you will not only drag Mi Xiang down, but also her!
"You can't tell the origin anyway. If you make up a fake one, you will have to involve a lot of lies to make up for it. It will be troublesome."

"Understood." Qi Jiu nodded.

After finishing speaking, she said: "One more thing, the Han family has Taoist priests coming in and out these few days.

"It was about ten days ago at first, and I didn't think anything of it at first, but the Taoist priest showed up at Han's house twice in the past few days.

"Last night at noon, Mrs. An and the others came back from the opera club, and the Taoist priest went to Wen Chan's room again, muttering about what to do."

Taoist priest?

Shen Xi was puzzled when he heard this.Both Qin and Zhou dynasties believed in Buddhism.Wen Chan didn't go to Buddhist temples either, did she invite Taoist priests to exorcise ghosts?

"Is the co-author here to catch me?" She laughed.

Qi Jiu also laughed: "It's hard to say."

Shen Xi pondered.

It is indeed bad.

Although she was not afraid of her coming to these messy things, didn't she not know what kind of medicine was sold in her gourd?

Furthermore, Wen Chan knew about the puppet, she must have suspected that the Han family had sneaked into her Shen Xi.

Later, Han Dun directly slapped An's and asked Mu to take charge of the housework. It's hard to guarantee that it wasn't her idea to use Mu's hands to clean up the servants in the house.

Anyway, no matter what, she has raised her vigilance and stopped being impetuous, that's for sure.

Then she invited the Taoist priest to come to her door, could it be related to dealing with her?
If it is used to deal with her, then the next few days will be a good time!After all, Xiao Huai is not in the capital.

And if she really planned that, then she must know that Xiao Huai will leave Beijing tomorrow...

Sitting in front of the window, she saw the dawn in the sky, guessed that it was time for Aunt Pei to get up, so she went to Zhixiazhai.

Aunt Pei just got up, and she didn't have time to dress up in the future. When she saw her coming, she immediately greeted her: "It's getting more and more unruly. I heard from Qi Jiu that you didn't come back in the middle of the night last night."

Shen Xi took her hand and sat down: "The son is going out of Beijing, so I will accompany him and talk for a while."

Unintentionally entangled with these, she went straight to the point: "Does my aunt know about Princess Yan?"

Aunt Pei was slightly taken aback: "The prince mentioned Princess Yan to you?"

"To put it simply, I didn't ask much."

Aunt Pei pondered: "Strictly speaking, there is no such person as Princess Yan."

Shen Xi paused.

Aunt Pei continued: "Because since King Yan and the others entered Beijing, he has no wives and concubines around him. The position of princess has been suspended until now, and no one has seen this person.

"Everyone knows that there are only King Yan's father and son in Yan Wang's mansion, as well as the confidants around Yan Wang, and at most there are court ladies and singing and dancing girls."

Shen Xi was shocked, King Yan had no wives and concubines around him since he came to Beijing, no wonder people in the capital never mentioned Princess Yan!
But judging from the very similar appearance of Xiao Huai and King Yan, they must be father and son.Xiao Huai also said that his mother had passed away, so she had passed away before King Yan came to Beijing.

Xiao Huai was only in his teens 12 years ago, so he lost his mother so early?

She went through these things in a mess in her mind, and soon got back to business.

"So, does anyone in the capital know about the birth mother of the son?"

"You probably don't know much about it." Aunt Pei said, "Anyway, King Yan never mentioned it, but those old ministers who fought with King Yan back then must have known about it."

Yes, the old ministers who fought in the country must know!

Then how could Han Dun not inquire about these things when he was in the circle of powerful people?
Now that she has found out, Wen Chan must also know about Xiao Huai's going to Cangzhou to sacrifice her mother.

Judging from Xiao Huai's concern for his mother, he must have been there every year.

And if she were Wen Chan, it would be absolutely correct to choose a person to attack when the other party's backer is not around when she feels threatened!

Therefore, there was an explanation for Wen Chan's calm these days. She was sure that Xiao Huai would go to Cangzhou for a few days, but she still had no way to stop him from going, so she could wait with peace of mind.

And after such a long time of deployment, she should be almost ready, right?

So what exactly is this Taoist priest used for?

Wouldn't it be really used to catch her as a ghost?

Suddenly, she couldn't figure out Wen Chan's way.

If she were Wen Chan, of course she would pick out the opponent's weakness and attack.

But her weakness is Xiao Huai, Shen's family, the most, which is the inexplicable worry in her heart after meeting He Lanzhun a few days ago.

But Xiao Huai and the others couldn't move, and the Shen family and the others made too much noise and it was not safe.

As for He Lanzhun, she still felt that he would not be used by Wen Chan to deal with her...at least he would not be used blatantly in this kind of matter.

After all, she is also the future mistress of the palace, isn't she?

Besides that, what weakness does she have in her hands?

Because of a Taoist priest, she couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

"I won't be leaving the house for the next few days. Qi Jiu can go and watch the Han family. You can put the catkins there first, and we can talk about it when the son comes back." She said.

Since there is no way to attack, you can only find a way to defend.

Xiao Huai can only go out for ten days at most, and she will not stay out of the house during these ten days, so can Wen have anything to do with her?
It's better to be cowardly than to let Xiao Huai come back to clean up the mess.

In the afternoon when Xiao Huai left the South City Gate, Han Shuhua stepped on a field of fallen leaves and walked through the courtyard to find Wen Chan.

"Sure enough, the mother's news is true. Xiao Huai led his family out of the city after noon!"

There was a little excitement in Han Shuhua's words, it was hard to tell whether it was excitement or fear.Maybe both.After all, to be able to get Shen Xi to the end just like this is a complete vent of anger.

But whether it is safe or not, she has never done it, and she is not fully sure.

"Where's Sister Jiao?" Wen Chan retracted Jianju's hand and asked her.
