"Yes! I will go and ask Miss Ning'er to come here." Fu Biao responded, turned around and left the study.
Shao Xi turned to look out the window at the growing autumn atmosphere. There was not a trace of clouds in the blue sky. Such a clear and bright scenery could not change Shao Xi's inner gloom at this time.
Mei Ruoyan had some little secrets of her own, but Shao Xi didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He also hid his identity from Mei Ruoyan.
Shao Xi felt a little uncomfortable because if Mei Ruoyan really had some unavoidable reasons, why didn't she tell him?
Doesn't she believe in herself? Or was she just playing along for the occasion and never had true feelings for him?
If it were anyone else, Shao Xi might have laughed it off, or analyzed the other person's motives and purposes in the most rational way, but now this person happened to be Mei Ruoyan, which made Shao Xi a little upset.
If even the person he loves is a pawn in some conspiracy, he feels that the world is really too dark. He leaves the purest part of his heart to her. If she just uses her true feelings to achieve Shao Xi really didn't know how to face a certain purpose.
Could it be that the current self is the same as the self in the modern world, doomed to fail in emotional experience?
Could it be that my sincere efforts were destined to be in vain in the end? Sometimes people do have double standards. Shao Xi felt sad because Mei Ruoyan hid something from him, but he didn't feel there was anything wrong with him hiding his true identity from Mei Ruoyan.
Now that the same thing happened to him, he began to truly reflect on whether he had the right to blame Mei Ruoyan.
Frankness is mutual. If you don't even do it yourself, what right do you have to blame others for doing the same thing to you?
At this time, Shao Xi was extremely entangled in his heart. He wanted to know what Mei Ruoyan had experienced, but before that, should he tell Mei Ruoyan his own experience without any concealment?
Maybe everyone has a secret in their heart that they are helpless and don’t want to know. If the other person is unwilling to tell it, is there any need to explore it?
Just like do you want your inner secrets to be known to others? Some things can be said, but some things can only be buried in the heart. This is true for me, and the same is true for Mei Ruoyan. So how should the two parties face the secrets in each other's hearts?
Shao Xi didn't know what Mei Ruoyan was going to do, but he knew exactly what he was going to do. Maybe he and Mei Ruoyan need an in-depth conversation. Even if both parties are unwilling to tell their secrets, they should at least tell each other that they have secrets in their hearts, instead of being suspicious of each other like they are now.
While Shao Xi was thinking wildly, Fu Biao had invited Ning'er.
"Xiyan Pavilion", after Ning'er entered the study, Fu Biao consciously withdrew and stood alone outside the door to avoid being disturbed while Shao Xi and Ning'er were talking.
As Shao Xi's bodyguard, Fu Biao knew very well what words he could and could not listen to. He told Shao Xi about Mei Ruoyan out of loyalty to the family leader. No one could harm the family leader, even if this person was Shao Xi's confidante.
Ning'er was originally pestering Old Wu in the back hall to inquire about what they had seen and heard outside in the past six months. Just as she was listening to Old Wu's wild blowing and spitting with great interest, she was suddenly caught by Fu Biao. Call here.
After entering the study, Ning'er also looked confused. In her impression, her brother was busy with business every day, so it was really unaccustomed for her to be called here from Lao Wu.
"Come! Ning'er, sit down and have a cup of tea with your brother. My brother didn't bring you anything good during this trip. Here is a piece of green mist and purple cloud gauze that my brother left for you. He brought it back personally all the way. Look back. You go make a few sets of dresses so that your grandpa doesn't have to spend his wine money on making clothes for you." Ning'er took the piece of green mist and purple cloud gauze from Shao Xi's hand, with a look of surprise and novelty on her face.
For women, this green mist and purple cloud gauze seems to have some kind of magic power, and the dreamlike colors can always attract their eyes deeply.
"Wow! It's so beautiful! If such beautiful fabric is made into a dress and worn, it will definitely make others jealous. Thank you, brother!" Shao Xi smiled and poured a cup of tea for Ning'er, and asked seemingly casually: "Brother and Grandpa has been away for so long, who takes care of the family?" Ning'er put down the green mist purple cloud gauze in her hand, picked up the cup of tea that Shao Xi poured for her, blew the hot air in the cup, and tilted her neck. He blinked his big watery eyes and thought seriously.
"On weekdays, housekeeper Liu Fu takes care of everything at home, but sister Ruoyan often comes to the house. She said that before her brother left, he asked her to take care of Ning'er, so she would come every one or two days. Come visit Ning'er at home."
"Well, it is true that my brother asked her and Miss Liu to come and accompany Ning'er often. So what does she talk to Ning'er when she comes home on weekdays? Can you tell me about it?" Ning'er tried to drink lightly. He took a small sip of the tea in the cup, and his tongue was so hot that he stuck out.
Hearing Shao Xi's question, he answered very seriously: "We were talking about things from my daughter's house. I didn't understand much about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but I was talking about female red embroidery, rouge, spices and so on. I can still understand a little bit.
"Sister Ruoyan and Sister Liu often teach Ning'er how to write and draw, and teach Ning'er to learn books and etiquette, and not to run around like a little beggar or a wild girl. They said that their brother is a person of status, Ning'er You can't ruin your brother's face outside.
"Sometimes Sister Ruoyan will complain that my brother has not come back after being gone for so long. It can be seen that Sister Ruoyan misses her brother very much." Shao Xi smiled happily. It seems that Mei Ruoyan has been away for half a year. Together with Liu Ling, they really taught Ning'er very well.
Nowadays, Ning'er's words and deeds no longer resemble the little beggar she used to be. Instead, she looks like a well-behaved, smart, knowledgeable and polite Xiaojiabiyu.
"Then what did your sister Ruoyan say when she talked to you about my brother? Did she ask you about my brother?" When Shao Xi asked about this, Ning'er suddenly became excited and happily replied: "Of course. , of course! Sister Ruoyan is particularly concerned about her brother's affairs. She always pulls Ning'er to ask questions, asking whether his brother is good at martial arts? What do he do at home on weekdays? Who are his friends?
"Even my sister would ask about my brother's daily habits. Not only my brother, but also sister Ruoyan would sometimes ask about some things about my grandpa. Unfortunately, Ning'er didn't know much. I could only tell her some things that Ning'er saw in his daily life. Arrive." Shao Xi's heart sank when he heard this. If he was simply his confidante, there would be nothing wrong with asking about this. But now that there are questions about Mei Ruoyan's identity, Shao Xi had to let Shao Xi inquire about him in such detail. I doubt her motives for asking about these things.
If she wants to know her level of martial arts, her daily behavior, who she associates with, and even her own living habits, she even needs to know the old Wu around her. This makes Shao Xi have to doubt her purpose.
Is she really just out of the simplest concern? But she could have asked herself these things directly before, so why did she ask Ning'er sideways?
Is it because he is afraid that asking him directly will arouse his suspicion? So why is she afraid that she will doubt her?
Asking yourself about some things directly will actually not make you feel that there is anything wrong, but it would be extremely abnormal to ask yourself secretly like this.
Why did she want to hide her martial arts practice from herself? What was the motive behind concealing this matter?
Although Shao Xi is not sure whether his and Fu Biao's guesses about Mei Ruoyan are accurate at the moment, this has already made Shao Xi have some doubts about Mei Ruoyan.
Now that I think back to the time when I met Mei Ruoyan, it seems that I don't know much about her past. At first, I was worried that it would bring back those unpleasant memories, so I didn't ask any more questions. Mei Ruoyan didn't seem to ask too much about her. own things.
This didn't make Shao Xi think there was anything wrong at first, but if Mei Ruoyan really didn't think so simply, she didn't ask more about herself, maybe because she had already guessed about her identity before, so there was no need to ask. , just find a way to prove something is enough.
She rarely talks about her past because she doesn't want Shao Xi to know too much about her, lest Shao Xi find out her true identity through some clues.
Thinking about it this way, his acquaintance with Mei Ruoyan was not accidental. What makes Shao Xi a little confused is why Mei Ruoyan wanted to assassinate Xiao Yuzhi, the king of the mausoleum?
You must know that Prince Ling's Mansion is not a place where you can enter and leave at your will. What motivation did Mei Ruoyan have to take such a big risk to sneak into Prince Ling's Mansion?
What is the purpose of her visit? Is it because of his own reasons, or because he is burdened with some kind of mission?
He and Xiao Yuzhi had a sworn feud. Could it be that Mei Ruoyan also had a feud with Xiao Yuzhi just like him?
If it was a personal grudge, it would be easier to explain. If she was ordered to do this by someone, who was the person behind her?
Why did you choose to attack Xiao Yuzhi at this time? In any case, Shao Xi felt that this choice was unwise. Judging from the current situation, he was the best choice to deal with Xiao Yuzhi. If he chose to die personally at this time, wouldn't he expose himself to the world?
You must know that the assassination of His Highness the Second Prince Ling Wang is not a trivial matter. Is it necessary to draw fire to yourself at this time?
If it were Shao Xi, he would never do this, but it just happened, and it seemed so unreasonable that Shao Xi couldn't understand it for a while.
Now there are a few things to figure out. Who is Mei Ruoyan? Is there anyone behind her? What is the purpose of getting closer to yourself?
How much do you know about yourself now? Was she the one who sneaked into Prince Ling's Mansion? If it was her, why would she do this?
For what purpose?
