Chapter 278 The Best Bamboo Horse

Shen Xi took a slow breath and looked at the wall in front of him.

In this way, the conflict between Liu Xu and Mi Xiang was deliberately caused by Wen Chan.

And the reason why she did this was because she was suspicious of Mi Xiang, and the reason why she didn't kill them was naturally that the sudden death of someone who had been with her for so long would inevitably arouse suspicion.

And if Liu Xu and the others fight each other, no one will suspect that there is a ghost behind her if anyone dies.

That means that Han Ruoju's death did have something to do with Wen Chan. Without her, he could at least delay it for a while.

After thinking about it here, I asked her a few other questions, some of which had answers, and some of which had no answers, and after thinking about nothing else, she got up and left the house.

Stepping out of the threshold, the morning sun has already poured into the yard.

On the chairs where the men were sitting on the porch in the front yard, at some point, they sat down and were familiar with their backs.

He was wearing a green shirt, with his fingers crossed on his knees, and he was fascinated by the pair of white butterflies dancing in the sun.

"Master Helan."

Shen Xi called him.

He Lanzhun turned her head, fixed her eyes on her eyes, and straightened her waist.

"Why did your lord come?"

She walked over to him and sat down on the low stool.

"I happened to be passing by to do some business. I heard you were here, so I came in." He said calmly.

Shen Xi paused slightly: "Could it be that your lord is looking for me for something?"

He didn't say anything right away.But when he saw the pair of white butterflies submerged in the flowers, he leaned back in the chair and said, "What's the attitude of the Han family now?"

"They probably want to reconcile." Shen Xi straightened his skirt.

"What do you mean?" he asked.

"It's not impossible, but we have to see if they can accept my terms."

He Lanzhun nodded, and didn't continue talking about this topic.

There is a row of chrysanthemums planted under the wall of the small courtyard, and the flowers and leaves have long since withered.But the pair of white butterflies are still playing among the dead leaves.

"What's the matter with you and him?" He asked suddenly.

Shen Xi didn't expect him to mention this suddenly, so he paused.

He Lanzhun turned to look at her: "He's been in the palace for the past few days. I don't think you look very well either."

Shen Xi didn't know if the people in the palace were all good at observing words and expressions.But even if he wasn't Xu Jing, she couldn't reject him.

She also narrowed her eyes and looked ahead, and said after a long while: "I had a bamboo horse who was talking about getting married before, and I told him about it recently, and he reacted very strongly."

He Lanzhun's body froze, and after a while, he turned his body sideways and fixed his eyes on her: "You told him this?"

"There's nothing to say."

Shen Xi didn't want to mention too much, he looked at the ground with his chin in his hands, and murmured.

She has been holding back all these days, and even Qi Jiu never said that she is actually not feeling well.

He Lanzhun's eyes seemed to be glued to her, until she looked down at her toes, then he retracted his body again, and said slowly: "What kind of bamboo horse?"

Shen Xi sighed quietly: "Except for your lover, the best friend you can think of."

He Lanzhun didn't respond.

After a while he said, "Since you're not a lover, why are you talking about marriage?"

Shen Xi said in a deep voice, "He treated me very well, and it's everyone's wish. All in all, I, and everyone else, think it's a good thing."

"That's it?" He stared.

"It's not all..." Shen Xi was silent for a moment, sighed and looked at the sky, "Actually, there is another thing that made it happen."

He Lanzhun pursed his lips and looked at her.

She said: "At that time, because of the influence of my words, he did a very difficult thing. Although it was a good thing for him, everyone felt that he did it for me."

She once told Xu Jing that she admired the brave general, and later he actually went to the camp and earned fame.

"But at that time, I didn't mean to let him prove how much he cared about me, but I just felt that he could do better besides Zu Yin.

"He is smart, eager to learn, dedicated and brave, and should not be an ordinary family member in the eyes of others.

"In addition to the title given by the family, he should also have his own glory, so that the world can respect him sincerely!

"I didn't realize how naive I was then when I grew up."

Fighting on the battlefield is not a joke. At the age of ten, she did not realize the danger of it. She only thought that Xu Jing could have more and a brighter future.

She didn't regret it until she kept receiving messages from him from the camp, and she blamed herself more and more day by day.

If something happened to him, how would she explain it to his family?
"Fortunately, he came back safely." She let out a long breath. "Obviously, I have no reason not to accept the marriage proposal at this time. Of course, I didn't tell him my original intention again."

There was a long silence under the roof.

Shen Xi fell into the past, and He Lanzhun seemed to be fascinated by it.

The breeze lifted the sleeves of the clothes, drifting with the thoughts.

"—outsiders don't know about this matter, because he passed away later. So adults don't need to get into it."

She hasn't forgotten that she still needs to hide.

She was also afraid that he would turn around and go to Shen's house to inquire about her marriage contract, thereby doubting her origin.

She'd rather he take it as a story.

He Lanzhun was silent for a long time, and changed his sitting position slightly.Turning around is blunt, and it is suspicious that the posture has been maintained for too long and has rusted.

Qingfeng brought his voice: "Even if you don't say it, maybe after many years, he will still understand your painstaking efforts."

After speaking, he looked at her again: "There are many such marriages in the world, and this is not very tasty."

"But I've known him too long."

She said briefly.

She knew very well that between the two of them, she still had more expectations of Xiao Huai.

In fact, after Xu Jing went to the military camp, she hadn't seen him for several years. It was not until he came back when she was 15 years old that she really got along with him for a year when she grew up.

He was three years older than she was, and she had been younger when he had gone to camp, and they had been close indeed.

Later when he came back, although she would still see him often, her behavior was much more restrained.

So the real time to get along after adulthood is just that year.

She thought that Xu Jing was just an introduction between her and Xiao Huai.

Their life trajectories are different.

He may have suffered before, but he couldn't understand and understand the helplessness of her resurrection in this era, the gap between the two lives, and the situation she faced.

All he saw was a Helian woman who was busy with her life, so he felt that as long as he protected her and pampered her, it was enough.

And she is destined not to be able to shrink her head and turn a deaf ear to the cruelty of Yu Helian, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even if she and Xu Jing had no engagement, if Wen Chan wanted to attack him, she would still go.

So their conflict is that she has to pretend to be a clansman in her heart, but in Xiao Huai's position, he can only have her in his heart.

This is good, but she will be embarrassed.
