Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 88 Who is it?

A faint sandalwood scent wafts through the room.

She exhaled and walked to the table and poured herself a cup of tea.

The tea was glistening, and the previous scene played back in my mind.

It seems that her experience in the Shen Mansion for more than a month can be said to be very peaceful.

He Lanzhun who resembled Xu Jing, Chen Xiu who attacked her in a surprise attack, Xiao Huai who leaped like a proud dragon under the execution stage, the heartache when he revisited his old place in the Chinese army yamen, and the King Yan whom he saw in Xiao Huai's room .

These characters who had nothing to do with her suddenly walked before her eyes.

She would rather meet the Han family today...

Recalling Xiao Huai's cold gaze when he stared at her under the curtain, she couldn't help but sigh again.

Even though this guy had no intention of harming her, he was still dangerous. Even if he didn't say that he would not let her see each other again, she would not be able to see him again.

She drank the tea down her stomach and was dazed.

All this was caused when she saw He Lanzhun's face. She never thought that two people who had nothing to do with each other would look so similar...

Xu Jing occupied many positions in her 16 years of life, even though she felt that her love for Xu Jing was more like that of a friend who accompanied her when she was young, she couldn't be indifferent to this face.

Because of him, she saw Xiao Huai again.

In the small alley, the man who was so lazy that he didn't even tie his hair up, just leaned on the swing rope to enjoy the spring, after winning small money in the gambling house and wandering the streets, suddenly transformed into a square kneeling worshipper Prince's son--

In this world, only she can't think of it, there is nothing she can't see!

She closed her eyes and shook her head.He exhaled and buried his face in his hands.

"Don't be dazed, come and drink soup."

At this time, Auntie Pei came in with a bowl of soup: "Put your stomach first, the meal time is already over, there is no meal left in the kitchen, so Pearl is going to get someone to make it now."

Shen Xi cleared his throat to regain his senses, took the soup and stirred it with a silver spoon, but his hands stopped suddenly.

She looked at Aunt Pei who was sitting next to her and tied up the insole. Her hands were steady and fast.

"What's wrong?" Aunt Pei noticed.

Shen Xi said: "Aren't you afraid of what happened just now?"

Aunt Pei stood still, and after a while, the light in her eyes dimmed, she lowered her head and put the needle, staring at the threshold and said quietly: "I have lived for 27 years, and my knowledge is far inferior to that of the girl, but I have seen bloody blood, but I can't count it." up.

"Fear later, if you are more afraid, you will become numb in the end. Besides, no matter how afraid you are, the world is also unpredictable."

After Shen Xi finished listening, his eyes returned to the soup bowl.

She couldn't help but believe what she said, but she always felt that Aunt Pei was more special than those aunts she had ever met.

"What's the origin of that He Lanzhun?" She asked again after taking a sip of soup.

"I heard that he has been with King Yan since he was a child, and he is one of the most trusted people of King Yan. If the world doesn't honor him as Lord Helan, they will call him Young Master Helan."

Aunt Pei bit off the thread at her hand, and said: "I heard that he has a good literary talent and a good temper, and he is on good terms with many civil servants in the court, but I haven't heard any bad news about him."

I have followed Yan Wang since I was a child.In this way, the chance of being a descendant of the Xu family is even closer to zero.

Shen Xi drank the soup silently and didn't say anything more.

Aunt Pei, who walked to the drawer at the back with a sewing basket, looked back at her, and walked back with her brows fixed: "Miss, did you notice something?"

Shen Xi raised his head again.

Aunt Pei went to her seat and sat down, looked outside, and said in a low voice, "Who is the person who saved the girl today at the execution ground?"

Who is it that saved her?
Shen Xi frowned.

Isn't he from He Lanchun? —Oh, no!
He Lanchun was behind the execution platform at that time, that is to say, there was a row of prisoners between her and her.

But the stone was struck from her right side, it was impossible for them to grab her right side and knock the stone away in such a short time!
No one can do it unless their people are immortals.

And she also clearly remembered that He Lanchun's guards arrived after the steel ball was knocked away, which was enough to prove that it wasn't him!
If it wasn't him, could it be Xiao Huai?

That's also impossible.Xiao Huai was farther away, and came after a while after the incident. Although he killed Chen Xiu directly after arriving, it only showed that he knew about it halfway.

So is it his bodyguard?

Nor is it possible.

All actions of the guards are under the orders of the Lord, even if Xiao Huai didn't want to kill her, he didn't know where she was in advance, so how could he tell the guards to save her life?
None of them, then it's just someone else.

And who is this other person?
She was concentrating for a moment, and suddenly a person flashed in her mind!She opened her eyes and looked at Aunt Pei: "Could it be her?!"

Qi Jiu!

Who else but Qi Jiu? !
Although Qi Jiu didn't show up for so long after she came back from Qingshi Town, she was sure that she would never have any ill intentions towards her.

She met her on the side of the road as soon as she appeared in Xing'ergou, and saw her again when she went to Qingshi Town, and saw her when she was catching up with Xiao Huai!

This shows that at least since she appeared in Xing'ergou, she has been around her all the time.So is it possible that she followed her when she returned to the capital? !

"I also think it's possible." Aunt Pei wrung her hands and frowned, "If Master He Lan didn't do it, then it could only be Qi Jiu!"

Shen Xi helped the table and stood up.

Even Aunt Pei said that, so her guess is more reasonable!

Could it be that Qi Jiu has been following her all the time these days?
Was she still affected by her throwing stones and asking for directions?

If it was her, where is she these days?

Is she in danger? !
She held the handle of the fan tightly in her hand, the blood in her extremities was already a little hot.

"It seems that he still remembers the kindness of the master and wife." Aunt Pei's eyes were slightly wet, "I'll just say, I lost two lives for him, how could I ignore their orphans."

Shen Xi looked at her, and suddenly grabbed her hand: "This matter must not be made public, absolutely must not be made public!"

"I know." Aunt Pei gasped and nodded, "I know."

When Shen Xi sat down, he felt that his fingers were numb.But her heart, which had been taut for a long time, suddenly jumped up briskly!

Qi Jiu, it's Qi Jiu!
In the capital at night, there was a breeze at some point, and the first-quarter moon was like a silver hook wrapped in brocade against the clouds.

Under the sky, King Yan's Mansion is like a huge and magnificent jade sculpture in the moonlight, and the little lights reflect its extraordinary dignity.

Standing proudly like a fairy, He Lanzhun stood under the magnolia tree in front of Yulan Palace, looked at the watch in his hand, and raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you see it?"

"Exactly." The servant in front of him said in a high-pitched and respectful voice, "The watch was quietly taken out from his official case while the eldest son was away, and the servant confirmed that it was true.

"Following the above address to No. 13, Mingyuefang Osmanthus Hutong C, I found that Xiao's family is just a wealthy businessman, and their daughter has already left the city to go to the grandfather's house in Huzhou."
