Chapter 12 Cheng Xiao Is Asking About Her?

Changying was startled again.Such a coincidence?

"Do you think it's a coincidence?" Du Jian said.

Changying thought for a while, the Fu family didn't have any relatives surnamed Shen, at least no relatives who were familiar enough to gift the engraved jade pendant, and even the capital didn't have any famous family with the surname Shen. inside?
Considering that he also mentioned that their husband and wife were in trouble, there is no way to know what else is going on here, so it is inconvenient to ask again.

So he interrupted: "It's nothing, I'm leaving first."

Du Jian sat without moving. He didn't put his legs down until he saw her disappear outside the door, and leaned back in the chair.

Cheng Mei lost face in front of Changying, although Cheng Xiao was upset, but because of the official situation, he came to ask her to visit Shen Changying's house.

"Is it worth me to show my favor to a fifth-rank general? I don't like her, so I won't go!"

Cheng Xiao was in a state of desperation, and his face sank when he heard this: "I know what you're thinking! Your sister stayed in the capital for several years for the Cheng family to seek opportunities, so don't you think about your family, me and your brother?

"Although Du Jian is not bad, your mother is right. He is just a martial artist and will not be of much use to the Cheng family. You should give up as soon as possible!
"If you can't even do what I entrusted to you because of such a trivial matter, then I might as well keep you in Changxing later on!"

Cheng Mei's face turned red and white, her lower lip was bitten pale, and tears couldn't help falling down, but before she could answer, Cheng Xiaoren had already walked away.

When Chang Ying came back from Du Jian's house, he received the news that Cheng Mei would come to visit the next day.She didn't take it to heart.

In addition to having hopes of committing crimes by joining forces with Du Jian, she also has thoughts about Cheng Xiao.

Although the people in black were basically sure that there was a background behind them, she didn't know what the background was. Apart from the princeling party headed by the Gu family, the noble party that could rival it was also quite powerful.

But the boundary between the two parties is not clear, and it can even be said that there are many unclear relationships.

So it would be best for the other party to catch it now, and if she couldn't catch it, she also wanted to find out what was going on in the capital from Cheng Xiao's incident.

She called Shaoqing: "You ask Cheng Xiao for a few arrests, and then take Zhou Liang and Huang Ji to search in the city." Then she told Zixiang: "Go to the street to buy some needles, thread and pieces of cloth."

That's all for Shaoqing, Zi Xiang was surprised: "Could it be possible that the girl still needs to do needlework?"

"I didn't do it," Changying said, "Cheng Mei came to watch me later. What if I don't find something to do?"

After breakfast, not long after Zi Xiang came back from buying needles and thread, Cheng Mei came over awkwardly.

Seeing Changying plucking up the embroidery thread, she asked nonchalantly, "Can the general be a female celebrity?"

"My daughter is away from home, so she must know a little bit." Changying asked her to sit on the edge of the kang together, as if the previous holidays no longer existed.

Cheng Mei, of course, borrowed the donkey from the slope, without saying anything, and helped to wind up the thread as well.

She didn't really believe that a girl with a gun and a club would catch needle and thread, but seeing how dexterous her fingers were, she couldn't help but look at her.

At this glance, I couldn't help but look at each other carefully, and once I looked at each other carefully, I couldn't help but feel unhappy.

She thought that although she was not born with a beauty, no one could easily pick out any faults in her facial features when she finally walked out, but every time she saw this Shen Changying, she always felt that she was a little bit more petty.

Changying's entertaining her was purely perfunctory, so she didn't pay attention to what she was thinking.

She can rest assured that the matter of chasing the thief is left to Shaoqing and the three of them. Du Jian should also do something about Cheng Xiao in the future.

But she can't spend all her time dealing with Cheng Mei. She only has half a month. She has to figure out what kind of background is involved in Cheng Xiao's case, and even what's tricky about Chen Tingchen's case.

She guessed that Du Jian knew about it, but he probably wouldn't tell her that even if Cheng Xiao didn't know about the past night, he must have known it.

So how can she dig out this inside story from one of them without leaving any trouble?
"Miss Mei, please have some tea." Zi Xiang came in holding tea, put a smile on Cheng Mei's face slightly, and at the same time gave Chang Ying a wink.

Changying understood, raised her hand and yawned, leaned sideways on the pillow and closed her eyes to rest.

Seeing this, Cheng Mei got up: "The general was tired last night, please rest."

She didn't want to stay longer, Zixiang sent her out, and she left without looking back.

Zixiang waited for her figure to disappear and then returned to the house: "Cheng Xiao sent someone to Nankangwei to inquire about us!"

Chang Ying, who just shifted her posture, also froze immediately.

"If he's just inquiring about us casually, we're not afraid, what's afraid is that he has ulterior motives!" Zixiang wrung his hands and said, "Su Xinrong and the others don't have good intentions, what if they collude?"

Changying couldn't be more relaxed.

In the past three years, she has quickly jumped to the rank of deputy thousand household in the camp based on her achievements alone. How could she not make enemies?
Su Xinrong's father and grandfather were both generals in the court, and she was also considered a respectable daughter of a general. She had always used various methods to unite with the other female generals to target her, but she never gave them any loopholes to take advantage of, so they didn't succeed.

If it was known that she was being watched by Cheng Xiao in Changxing, it would indeed be possible to gather together some kind of moth.

Among other things, just holding on to her background is enough to give her a headache.
