Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 271 Is it rough?

He Lan's lips curled up: "You don't know anything about him, where did you get the confidence to be with him?"

Shen Xi frowned, for a moment: "This doesn't explain anything. He didn't deliberately hide it from me."

If he deliberately kept it from her, how could he tell her his mother's name?Can you just make up any reason?

Or don't explain it at all!

What's more, she herself had a secret she had to keep from him, and he never forced her to tell it.

He Lanzhun was silent for a moment, then said lightly: "That's good."

After three words, he fell silent again.

Shen Xi drank the tea he poured with downcast eyes, and said, "Anyway, your reminder is very reasonable. I still want to thank you."

He Lanzhun added water to the kettle, the brows were calm and indifferent.

"Who's here?"

At this time, another cold voice came from under the eaves.

Shen Xi raised his eyes and saw a strong man in his early twenties just standing under the eaves. He was about the same size as Xiao Huai. He was dressed in a lake blue slim brocade robe, with a silver crown on his head and a fox-shaped piece hanging from his waist. beautiful jade.

If one ignores the murderous look between the eyebrows and eyes, the facial features are actually excellent, especially the eyes, which are as bright as cold stars.

It turned out to be the famous prison warden Huo Jiu!

"Is there a guest?" Huo Jiu came over, looking back and forth at the two of them.

He Lan cast a blind eye on Shen Xi, and said lightly, "—Miss Shen."

Huo Jiu looked at Shen Xi and said nothing.

She stood up and saluted.

Thinking of the inconvenience of staying longer, he said again: "I've been bothering you for a long time, so I'll take my leave first."

He Lanzhun didn't say anything.

When Shen Xi walked into the hallway, he heard Huo Jiu asking behind him: "Ji Han's fiancée? What is she doing here?"

She didn't have time to listen to the following, so she went out and got into the carriage.

In the courtyard, He Lanzhun glanced at Huo Jiu angrily, but said nothing.

When Shen Xi returned to the mansion, what He Lanzhun said was still rolling in her mind.

She finally couldn't bear to call Qi Jiu: "Why do I always feel that there is something in his words? Do you think he is Xu Jing?"

Qi Jiu was silent for a while, then asked her, "If he is Xu Jing, what would you do?"

Shen Xi was stunned.Yes, if he is Xu Jing, what should she do?Then she will have two fiances...

Seeing sweat on her forehead, Qi Jiu patted her on the shoulder and said, "No way.

"That night on the mountain, I spied on him for you. He looked at me like he was looking at an idiot. He definitely couldn't be Xu Jing."

Shen Xi looked at her suspiciously, did she ask?Why doesn't she know?
However, Qi Jiu's question made her tangled up for a while.

In her heart, she hoped that Xu Jing could still exist alive, but she didn't know how to deal with the relationship if he really existed.

Then, thinking that she promised to tell Xiao Huai about the long-standing grievances between her and Wen Chan when she came back, her heart became even more confused.

When it comes to this grievance, it is natural to talk about Xu Jing.

She didn't think Xu Jing's matter could be compared with He Lanzhun's saving her.

Thinking wildly here, he remembered that today was his birthday, and his mother had passed away many years ago, so he probably didn't even celebrate his birthday.

Thinking of his lonely expression when he talked about his mother, she felt distressed for a while, so she got up and looked for Aunt Pei: "What should I do with longevity noodles?"

Xiao Huai came back from visiting the grave, and saw the guests for two days in a row. At noon on the third day, after the last group of guests had left, he couldn't wait to enter the inner courtyard: "Get ready, go back to Beijing."

He always missed Shen Xi in his heart.

He is actually quite at ease about her abilities, and always feels that she can live a very nourishing life without him.

As a person who has dealt with people from all walks of life for many years, he can calmly appreciate her like this.

But as a fiancé, as a person who has her in his heart, he still doesn't want her to take care of everything by herself.

Even if you don't need his help, it's good for him to watch from the sidelines.

A group of people returned to the capital under the stars and the moon. At the beginning of the morning, the soldiers under the city gate shook their spirits several times before they could perform their rituals neatly.

Shen Xi had just woken up when he received the news that Xiao Huai had returned to Beijing, and Wu Teng came in to tell him.

She drank half a bowl of porridge and was about to go out by car.

When he reached the threshold, he still took his feet back. He rushed back to Beijing overnight, presumably she rushed over, and he couldn't rest anymore.

Besides, the thought of telling him the truth made her heart skip a beat.

I simply stayed up until after lunch, and then I went out again.

Xiao Huai was in the study, obviously he had woken up.

After the servant at the door came in to report, Su Yan came out and bowed to her.

Before she could enter the door, Xiao Huai stretched out his arms under the threshold and wrapped her in his arms: "You just came here? Don't you miss me?"

"I'm not afraid to disturb you."

She smiled at him in his arms.

He should have just shaved his face, his chin was clean, showing a nice and clear jaw line.

The clothes on her body were very delicate, the collar was tightly closed, and nothing could be seen below the neck, and it was not coquettish at all.

"What are you looking at?"

After entering the room and sitting down, Xiao Huai tested the temperature of the dispelling cold soup on the table, and then handed it to her.

"Look at you, what a delicate and considerate man." She smiled.

"Do you know you found the treasure?"

The corners of Xiao Huai's lips were raised, protruding with a thick smile, and he wiped the silver spoon for her with lowered eyes. "Such a good man, if you don't hurry up, where will you look for him in the future?"

Shen Xi looked at him with a smile through the lingering soup, chewed in his heart, and said in a casual tone: "Is the ancestor of the Xiao family also a general?"

"Ah."

Xiao Huai put the spoon into the soup bowl, fed her a few sips, then took her hand to play with her nails painted with Kodan, and said, "Tuoba has a lot of martial arts. The ancestors of the Xiao family were also generals of the Tuoba royal family. It returned to the Qin Dynasty.

"My grandfather and great-grandfather were both generals in the camp during the Qin Dynasty. My grandmother was the daughter of the head of the Wuma clan.

"There are many marriages between the Wuma and Tuoba tribes. At that time, my grandfather was stationed at the border of the Wuma royal family in the southwest, so he married my grandmother."

Shen Xi's mood was quick and relaxed.

Obviously, if she just asked him, he would still tell her.It's not that he didn't say anything on purpose.

"Absent-mindedly, are you disliking me for being a rough person?" He shook her flawless fingers, his tone slightly threatening.

"How come?" Shen Xi smiled, "You are not rough at all."

Of course he can be strong at times, but he is by no means a rough man.

Not only is he not rude, but King Yan also looks quite manly.

This may be because the Xiao family has been officials under the Helian people for several generations, and their behavior has been somewhat affected. It is more likely that their family itself has this kind of character.

She was absent-minded because she was considering how to fulfill her previous promise.

She felt she had to.

He Lanzhun's reminder made her feel that even if he had a secret, at least she should be honest first.

Besides, Han Dun will definitely come to him to solve Wen Chan's matter. She can't accept his sacrifice while keeping him in the dark.

"Jiaojiao—" Xiao Huai's eyes became complicated after hearing her words, "You say you're not a rough man?"

Shen Xi raised his eyes.

His face was inexplicably ugly: "This is an insult to me."

"Isn't it?" She was slightly surprised.In her heart, at least he is much better than many Tuoba people in her eyes.

Xiao Huai squinted at her, picked up the leftover soup from her drink and stopped at his mouth, then gritted his teeth and squinted at her: "Whether it's thick or not, do you want to know?"

　I saw the brain holes of some friends hahahaha...

　　No one can predict the future.

　　What He Lan said was actually what he knew about the palace's internal situation as a close minister (official) of the King of Yan.
