When Wei Ning saw that it was Wang Ziyan who was escorting Wei Cheng out in person, Wei Ning was slightly startled, and then brought the horse.
Wei Cheng took out the handkerchief and wiped his hands casually.
He had changed his clothes when he came, but now he was covered in incense. He took off his outer robe and handed it to Wei Ning.
"General, do you want to take a shower?"
He thought for a while: "Throw it away."
"yes."
"Did the gift go to Jizhou?" he asked calmly.
"I've already sent someone to send it there quickly. It will be delivered at noon tomorrow." Wei Ning replied: "General, since the general is ready to promise Dong Yan to regain Jizhou, why do you still send someone to give Liu Min a gift?"
"It's not for Liu Min." He sneered: "It's for Wang Ziyuan."
Give it to the Wang family?
Wei Ning recalled the appearance of Prince Yan when he sent the general out just now. He wondered what the general promised to the Wang family that made them so satisfied: "What benefits did the general promise to the Wang family?"
"A bunch of ignorant fools who don't know the heights of the world." He mounted his horse, and the two yellow lanterns hanging at the door of the Wang family villa reflected his handsome face full of disdain, "They still think they are from a noble family back then."
"You negotiate terms with me, but you still dare to reach out to Youzhou."
He sneered, clamped the horse's belly, and the Jade Lion started to trot in the night. Wei Ning got the idea and understood: "The Wang family wants to arrange for Wang Fu to come to Youzhou?"
He hummed.
"Tomorrow I will go to Jizhou and let Qiu Xiaoyun take a good look at her."
Wei Ning memorized the first half of the sentence, but did not react to the second half. When he heard Qiu Xiaoyun, he realized that he was talking about Shen Yinxiao. He said yes and asked him whether he was going back to Wei's house or the government office now.
He has to rush to Jizhou tomorrow, so he should have a good night's rest tonight. He pondered for a while, "Did she find me today?"
Weining paused, guessing that he was talking about Shen Yinxiao, and told the truth: "No."
"What did she do today?"
"I heard from Qiu Xiaoyun that Mrs. Shen went shopping today."
Wei Cheng's face was obviously gloomy.
He was forced to come back with Wang Yuanjun in his arms in public. Whether it was true or not, if he abandoned her in public, she should at least show some expression, whether she was angry or angry, she would not be in a good mood to go shopping.
He turned his horse's head and headed towards Shen's house.
——
Wei Cheng did not show up for two days in a row. The atmosphere in the Shen family was very relaxed, and Shen Yinxiao was especially satisfied, except for the man named Qiu Xiaoyun who was still guarding the door.
Today Shen Yinxiao bought some wine and meat, made a table of appetizers, packed some separately, put them in a food box, opened the door, and found no one from Qiu Xiaoyun. She guessed that he might be hiding in a dark place, so she He stood at the door and waited for a while.
Sure enough, after a while, a dark shadow jumped out of the tree, and an expressionless man stood in front of her: "What do you want, madam?"
She handed over the food box in her hand: "It's weirdly cold. I made some dumplings, shortbreads, and a pot of jade ice roast, and put them all in. Brother Qiu, eat it while it's hot. If it's not enough, tell me, I'll Serve it for you."
The lamp under the eaves of the door illuminated her face particularly white, and she looked at him with watery eyes.
Qiu Xiaoyun paused.
"Take it."
Qiu Xiaoyun took the food box and said, "Thank you, madam."
She tightened her collar and said, "Then I'm going in."
After saying that, he turned around and closed the door.
The Shen family of four finished their dinner, A'duo scrambled to wash the dishes, and Shen Yinxiao helped her clean up. When she heard a knock on the door, she thought it was Qiu Xiaoyun who had finished eating, so she trotted to open the door.
As soon as I opened it, I was reaching out to pick up something when I bumped into a hard chest.
Wei Cheng looked at the silly way she stretched out her hand and sneered: "You want to hug me as soon as we meet? Do you miss me so much?"
She retracted her hand and whispered: "I thought it was Brother Qiu."
Wei Cheng's face fell instantly.
What do you mean, Brother Qiu? So affectionate, he had been with her for so long, and he had never heard her call him brother. How many times had she met Qiu Xiaoyun? Just call Brother Qiu?
And what does it mean to think that it is Qiu Xiaoyun, and you can hug her if you are Qiu Xiaoyun? !
Seeing that his expression was getting worse and worse, as if he was going to hit someone at any time, Shen Yinxiao knew that he had misunderstood him by saying the wrong thing, so he quickly explained: "I just gave him dinner. I thought he was here to deliver the food box after he finished eating."
Only then did his face soften.
Shen Yinxiao breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly remembered that his cloak had not been returned to him, and said hurriedly: "Don't leave, wait for me to get something."
After saying that, he turned around and rushed back into the house, watching her running out with the cloak in her arms, blushing and panting, and holding up the clothes to him. He took the cloak with satisfaction, thinking that he had not raised her in vain in the past few years, but she had some. With some discernment, I knew that he was not wearing a robe, so he ran back to take out his clothes.
The displeasure he felt just now was gone.
"General, what's the matter?" Shen Yinxiao was a little sleepy. Seeing that he seemed to have something to say, she suppressed a yawn.
"Nothing, just passing by."
"I'm leaving Youzhou tomorrow and will be back soon."
"Oh." She nodded.
The man opposite was silent for a while, staring at her. Shen Yinxiao didn't know what to say, and stood looking at him.
He frowned slightly: "You don't have anything to say?"
She didn't know what to say.
She was not his wife. It was reasonable for a wife to ask a few questions when her husband was away from home. What was there to ask between her and Wei Cheng? If she asked too many questions, she would appear to be wishful thinking.
She suddenly remembered what happened during the day, and her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Qiu Xiaoyun discovered that she went to Yahang to sell the house and told Wei Cheng about it? Is Wei Cheng here to ask her to confess?
It was as if a thread suddenly strangled her heart and lungs. She took a step back nervously, her throat rolled, and she swallowed.
Just as heaven and man were fighting in her heart, the man in front of her suddenly sneered, turned around, got on the horse in three or two steps, and without looking at her again, he rode away and disappeared into the vast night.
