Chapter 39
She swallowed the soup, and asked again: "How is the capital?"

Zixiang and Wu Ma followed up on the news about the capital, she knew that Xiuxiu had correspondence with them, but if she didn't ask, they usually wouldn't tell.

Zixiang looked at her face, and then said carefully: "Xiuxiu's letter from last month said that the auntie entered the palace to celebrate the new year, and was asked by the ladies about the marriage of several young cousins ​​and Lord Hou.

"It is said that people have been inviting aunts to tea one after another year after year. Although it's not for the sake of marriage, it's not far away."

say kiss?Changying concentrated on it, and then remembered again, Ling Yan's three-year filial piety period has passed, and Ling Yuan is 21, so naturally it's time to rush to make a kiss.

But what left the deepest impression on her was the young prince of Marquis Wu Ning, who sat under the door with a big burden on his shoulders and stared angrily and kept laughing at her, and later became a man who was able to take charge of his own affairs and was almost strangled to death when he was furious. Her new generation head of the Ling family.

Time has slipped away so far, and thinking about it carefully, she seems to have spent those years in vain.

What he did, how he grew up, what achievements he had, and how he became so tall and mighty in the end, it was hard for her to remember.

I don't want to think that now, I have reached the age when I have to get married.

On the contrary, Ling Song and Ling Shu played with her a lot at that time. The three of them did a lot of messy things in the capital together, and she could still count many anecdotes.

"What else?" she asked again. "Is Ling Song engaged to Miss Ji's family?"

"It should be soon." Zixiang looked at the shadow of her long eyelashes falling under her eyelids, "If the matter of Master Hou is settled, it will naturally be the turn of the second master. Besides, the second master is also in high school this time." If you want to come to the Ji family, you won't say anything."

Ling Song liked the third girl of the Ji family since he was a child, and Zi Changying helped him cover up at that time, but it's a pity that the old man of the Ji family had a little feud with Ling Song's grandfather, and he still refused to agree to this marriage.

But speaking of it, the Ji family is not unreasonable. The grandchildren have grown up so much, and Ling Song has a future, so it wouldn't be too difficult if he thought about it.

Changying didn't say anything.

Later, Ling Song and Ji Zhiyuan did have a positive relationship, but it is a pity that the Ji family was also implicated because of him.

All in all, the prosperity of the Ling family is unreliable in her eyes.

"What about Xiuxiu herself?"

Zixiang was silent for a moment, then said: "She didn't talk about herself."

Chang Ying didn't ask any further questions.The Rong family's inner house is also very complicated, so staying there as a Xiuxiu would not be much better if you think about it.

"By the way, there is some news from the guard." Zixiang changed the topic, "I heard from Mama Wu that Su Xinrong recently led people to wipe out a group of bandits who were making trouble in the western suburbs of Huzhou. It is very high.

"A few times I met Wu's mother who went shopping in the street and teased you, girl, but Wu's mother was so angry that she even cooked three meals without salt."

Changying laughed.

Zixiang also felt relieved.

Naturally, what she said was not so exaggerated. It was originally intended to make her happy. Seeing her smile made her feel at ease.

"It's dawn, let's prepare breakfast."

She drank her tea and said. "I have something to do after dinner."

Cheng Xiao wanted to coerce her in vain, if this method was so effective, then her three years of experience plus the years of cultivation in her previous life and later years would be in vain.

The experience of the two lives has long trained her to be a qualified "wolf with a heart and a dog lung and a white eye". Apart from looking for the goal and moving forward, she can't think of anything else right now.

On the contrary, he was thinking that the crown prince colluded with the local officials and embezzled a large amount of government money, so he shouldn't have kept the handle, but why did he allow Cheng Xiao to keep it?
Either Du Jian lied and the group of men in black who came to kill Cheng Xiao, or he himself was not trying to get evidence for the emperor, but to silence the prince.

Or, there is something else between the prince and Cheng Xiao that has not yet surfaced.

But Du Jian didn't need to lie, because she was no threat to him at all.

And if it was Cheng Xiao who made up his mind to leave evidence of the crime so that he could bargain with the prince in the future, it is impossible for him to be so courageous as a junior fifth rank.

Taking a ten-thousand-step back, even if he originally hid his guts, after experiencing the danger of the previous few days, he would never dare to have such a thought again.

But he is still trying his best to protect it, which means that this thing is probably needed by the prince.

So, what is the prince doing with a ledger at the risk of exposing his criminal evidence?

When Shaoqing and the others followed up to the pier, she planned to start checking from here.

On the side of the main courtyard, Cheng Xiao was also in the study, ready to read official documents.

It's not that he gets up early, but that he can't sleep.

Fang Tong's death failed to push Shen Changying back, which made him feel a little depressed.

He believed that the news that he knew her background would definitely reach her ears, and if she really had some kind of relationship with Du Jian, then Du Jian would definitely tell her.

If Du Jian had nothing to do with her, as his subordinate, he had to understand what he meant, and then convey it to her.

But after a whole day and night, she still didn't move, which made him a little uncertain.

Could it be that Du Jian hasn't done what he wants?
After taking two sips of tea, he put it down again, rubbed his forehead with his knuckles and said, "How is Madam Fang?"

"Still not let go." Jia Ding said.

"What about the pier?"

"Preparations are already underway. As long as there are no accidents, we can leave tonight."

"Accident?" He snorted softly, "When will there be no accident?"

Ever since he experienced the danger of that night, when he thought of the mission Luo Yuan gave him, he would feel restless.

This matter is indeed too big. It was fine when outsiders were not disturbed. Once it was disturbed, he would easily become the target of public criticism.

The previous man in black and the ruthless Shen Changying are examples.

If Shen Changying doesn't get into his game for a long time, ignores it and doesn't retreat, what should he do?

Even if she is the enemy of the Ling family, the Ling family is far away in Yanjing, and they won't be able to catch up in a while.

What's more, the most important thing for him right now is to send this batch of "goods" to the capital as soon as possible. After the "goods" are gone, only the ledger will be left, and it will be very difficult for others to catch him up.

But Shen Changying was still in the mansion, how could he avoid her eyes and ears and go to the pier?

"...It really pissed me off!"

Madam Cheng's voice came from the other side.Early in the morning, she just went out of Cheng Mei's room where her feet were grounded.

He frowned and asked the servant: "What's the matter?"

The servant said: "The girl made a fuss again in the morning and refused to eat."

His face became even more gloomy.

Getting up and walking to the corridor, he held the pot to water the orchids, then suddenly looked up and said, "Tell the girl to come to the study."
