Concubine like a house

Chapter 90
In fact, Yun Xian himself is fine, I am afraid that Luanqing will do something impulsive if he knows that the person who is coming is Chengjun King... This is tricky!Yun Xian couldn't help breaking into a cold sweat secretly.It's ridiculous that I was so whimsical just now, I hope that Nie Peixiao can be a matchmaker for myself and Luanqing... "It seems that this king came at a bad time." Nie Peixiao naturally thought of this inside story, and before Yun Xian could speak, she said it herself , "The king should come to visit another day." "Your Highness?" Chuxiu didn't understand the internal reason, and looked at the two of them in puzzlement.Yun Xian winked at Chuxiu, but she didn't see it because it was too dark.Instead, Nie Peixiao looked back at her bright eyes, and said with a smile: "Today is the third master Yun's big wedding. It's not a coincidence that this king came, but fortunately, he didn't come empty-handed. I hope the third master will accept it with a small gift." He said as he said Bian took out a red envelope from his bosom, and handed it lightly to Yun Xian. The envelope was exactly the one given to him by Chuxiu today, and it contained a full 10 taels of silver bills.

Yun Xian couldn't refuse, so he had to accept it, vaguely guessing in his heart that it was a bank note.He looked at Nie Peixiao apologetically, he didn't expect the distinguished guest to be sent out before he was welcomed into the house: "Your Highness... I didn't think carefully about this matter, please bear with me."

"It has nothing to do with you. This king came here rashly." Nie Peixiao waved his hand towards Yunxian, "Today is a good day for Mr. Yun, don't neglect the bride for too long, go back quickly." He hesitated for a moment, and then Seeing Xiu: "I don't know if my wife is willing to give this king a ride?"

Chuxiu didn't hesitate, and nodded with a smile: "Naturally, this is the concubine's luck." The two separated from Yun Xian halfway, turned around and walked out the door.

"It's a waste of time for you to make this trip. The concubine and the third master are very scared." Chuxiu apologized in a low voice, and then asked Nie Peixiao, "What did you give the third master just now?"

Although this sentence is questionable, the tone is very firm.Seeing Chuxiu's knowing gaze, Nie Peixiao smiled back and said, "Since Madam can give this king a gift, why don't I allow him to give it to Third Lord Yun? He is newly married today, so I can't do it empty-handed."

Chuxiu sighed softly: "Why do you... I feel even more guilty." Nie Peixiao laughed loudly: "If Ma'am wants to express her heart, you might as well talk about it after the matter is completed. Now that I am holding this huge sum of money, the king will not be ashamed." I'm very scared, and besides, you gave me a jade flute." Chuxiu smiled helplessly: "You came to find the third master tonight just to return the silver ticket? Now the 'gift' is given away, and you haven't even had a drink. Wedding, don't you feel bad?" Hearing this joke, Nie Peixiao suddenly felt that her relationship with Chuxiu seemed to be much closer.Probably because they have a common connection with each other now - Shen Yu.He can feel that Chuxiu's attitude has become more friendly, not alienated and indifferent than before. This kind of recognition makes him very comfortable, although it is for another man.

"Madam doesn't know, it's not that this king doesn't want to drink this wedding wine... It was this king who led the troops to exterminate the Jiang family back then... Therefore, the third master is worried..."

Chuxiu understood and stopped talking.Nie Peixiao suddenly wanted to test out how close Chuxiu was to her, so she asked a slightly private question: "This Jiang family girl comes from a family background, why does the third master insist on marrying her? Is it okay to take a concubine? Are you willing to offend Madam Xie because of her, and secretly marry in Jingzhou?"

Hearing this, Chuxiu paused slightly, and instead of answering, asked back: "In your opinion, is a prostitute not worthy of being married by a bright matchmaker?"

"This king doesn't mean that, but I don't think that's what the third master Yun is." Nie Peixiao sensed Chuxiu's displeasure, and quickly changed the subject, "He got married in Jingzhou, and you will preside over the marriage, isn't Mrs. Xie Blame it on you too?"

Chuxiu sighed, "To tell you the truth, the two of them are old acquaintances." She thought for a while, and decided to tell the truth, "When Lord Hou was alive, he once sheltered an orphan girl of the Jiang clan and took her as his wife. Concubine... the person the third master married today is the fourth concubine of the Yunfu."

"What?" Nie Peixiao couldn't hide her shock when she heard the words, and she stared at Chuxiu with wide-eyed eyes, "You mean... the third master married a concubine?"

Chuxiu shook her head: "Actually, it's not that serious. Luanqing is only the fourth concubine in name of the Yunfu. She was not included in the genealogy and has always been innocent. Later, she left the Yunfu and fell into prostitution, and only then did she have the third master." The matter of the hero saving the beauty and going to prison... Now that the two can come together, the third master has also experienced some struggles."

Rao Chuxiu explained it this way, but Nie Peixiao still found it unbelievable.He was brought up by the orthodox royal family. In his view, the monarch, the minister, the father, the son, and the general ethics are more important than anything else.Even though the woman from the Jiang family was not included in the genealogy, she was Yun Xian's concubine after all... Besides, it sounds like she should be older than Yun Xian... For some reason, after hearing Chuxiu's story, Nie Peixiao thought about it. A thought flashed through, although it was just a flash, but it was extremely profound - since Mrs. Chuxiu can accept such unethical things as Yun Xian marrying a concubine, can she also accept remarrying someone else, or even marrying someone else? Into the royal family?
Moreover, his seventh brother Nie Peihan's biological mother was also a widow, but in the end she was brought into the palace by her father.No matter what the end result is, with such lessons learned, can I follow suit?

In an instant, an outright greed emerged from the bottom of Nie Peixiao's heart undisguisedly, unbelievable but reasonable.Although it was just a thought, he knew that it would become his obsession.

Nie Peixiao frowned and looked sideways, looking at Chuxiu, who was wrapped in a pink dress. She was exquisite and charming, like a beautiful abyss, luring him to fall gradually... Unfortunately, Chuxiu did not He didn't care about Nie Peixiao's abnormality.She sent people out of Xianyun Pavilion with all manners, and seeing Nie Peixiao and all the attendants get back on their horses, she wanted to go back to greet Yun Xian for her wedding.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, another carriage came from not far away, passed by Nie Peixiao's men and horses, and stopped in front of the Xianyun Pavilion.Immediately, a middle-aged man got off the car in a hurry, and said to Chuxiu: "I have seen my wife." Chuxiu looked at the lantern, and saw that it was the butler Zhang of Liuyun Villa: "Why did the butler come in a hurry?" The butler surnamed didn't say much, took out a letter from his sleeve, put it on the top of his head and replied: "Just now, Lord Helian sent a letter from the mansion. It is said to be urgent, please read it." Chuxiu looked down at Zhang. The letter in the housekeeper's hand, under the dim light, four strong characters on the envelope, "From my wife", can be vaguely seen, but it is not stated who it is written to.Chuxiu glanced at it, and told the housekeeper calmly: "I believe you can handle it yourself." After saying that, he turned and returned to Xianyun Pavilion.

"This..." Butler Zhang looked at Chuxiu who was gradually disappearing in the door, so he had no choice but to put the letter in his arms, planning to return to Liuyun Villa to burn it.He got into the carriage again, and turned back on the way when he came, but just after turning a corner, the horse suddenly neighed uncontrollably.However, he felt a wheel of the carriage "click" twice, and the entire carriage tilted forward to the left. Butler Zhang couldn't react in time, and fell out of the carriage.

He cursed and was about to settle accounts with the coachman, but he saw two men who looked like passers-by came in time and helped him and the coachman up from the ground respectively.

"Old man, are you okay?" One of the men asked with concern.Butler Zhang patted the dust on his body, feeling nothing but pain in his buttocks, and said, "It's okay, it's okay, an old bone is not broken, thank you two gentlemen." The man just With a smile: "It's just passing by, it's easy to do, the old man doesn't have to worry about it." He looked at the carriage with a wheel that fell off, and asked, "The carriage is broken down, how do you go home?" Steward Zhang gave the coachman a hard look, Only then smiled and replied: "Don't bother you two to worry about it, the old man asked his family to pick us up."

So, the two men didn't ask any more questions, and after a few polite words, they got on their horses and said goodbye.The two horses galloped away, and after only one intersection, they reined in and stopped in front of an inn.The man who helped Steward Zhang walked into the inn just now, and said to the people waiting in the hall: "Your Highness, take out a letter from the steward."

The speaker was none other than Nie Peixiao's bodyguard Feng Fei.And the person waiting in the inn is naturally his master.Just now when Nie Peixiao left Xianyun Pavilion, he saw a carriage passing him and stopped, so he guessed that it was here to find Xiu.So he was more thoughtful and sent Feng Fei to find out.Feng Fei was also agile, and directly touched the letter away.

Nie Peixiao reached out to take the letter and found that the sealant on the envelope hadn't been removed, obviously Mrs. Chuxiu refused to accept it.For some reason, he suddenly thought of He Lianqi, so he quickly opened the letter to read, there was no header on the letter, and he didn't say who it was addressed to, but the content was extremely ambiguous:

"When will lovesickness meet each other? It's embarrassing at this night. It's been nearly five years since I left, and I miss you very much. In the Xu Dynasty, a banquet was held in Qianya Pavilion in the west of the city, and Yin hoped that Qing would come." The date was written at the end, and there was also a " Qi".

together?Nie Peixiao's heart sank, indeed Mrs. Chuxiu had an old relationship with He Lianqi!This realization annoyed him greatly, and he couldn't help but curl the letter into a ball and put it on the candlestick. With a "crack", the ball of paper brought the candlestick to the ground, and at the same time it gradually ignited itself.Nie Peixiao's handsome face was gloomy, watching the ball of paper burn to ashes, the annoyance in her heart burned more and more.Impulsively, he ordered Feng Fei: "Go! Go to Qianyage Pavilion!"

He felt that he couldn't hold it anymore, if he didn't ask Mrs. Chuxiu and He Lianqi's old affairs clearly tonight, it would be difficult for him to fall asleep.

Qianyage Pavilion used to be the private residence of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War, and later sold it to the Ming family, and became a fixed base for the children of the aristocratic family to gather for banquets.Originally, this house was not included in Ming Ying's dowry, but for some reason, Ming Cheng, the right minister, gave it to his only daughter.Today, this Qianya Pavilion is the private property of He Lianqi and his wife.

Nie Peixiao once attended a garden banquet in Qianyage Pavilion. The housekeeper and guards all knew him, and they knew that people who came here should not be offended, so they hurriedly asked He Lianqi for instructions.Although the latter was surprised, he also knew the etiquette, so he went to greet him: "Why is Your Highness here?"

"Why, can't this king come?" Nie Peixiao was very familiar with the layout of Qianyage Pavilion, and walked into the small garden while talking.When he got closer and took a look at the surrounding layout, he immediately frowned displeased, his face as if a storm was about to come.
