Nan Xing entered the private room and saw Xiao Jue and others sitting at the table, so he went straight forward to salute.
When Xiao Jue and Jiang Fengmian saw this, they both nodded slightly.
Nan Zhu was the only one who kept looking at Nan Xing blankly.
The expression on his face also became complicated and difficult to distinguish.
From Jiang Fengmian's position, it seemed that he seemed a little aggrieved and confused.
When Nan Xing passed by him, he also noticed his gaze.
But Nan Xing didn't say much, and even his expression didn't change. He just glanced at Nan Zhu lightly, then turned around and walked to Xiao Jue's side.
"Master, the tail around Shen's residence has been cleared." Nan Xing whispered.
When Xiao Jue heard this, his narrow eyes flashed slightly and he didn't say much.
Jiang Fengmian just pondered for a moment and immediately knew where Nan Xing had gone.
He gently shook the folding fan and said with some meaning:
"Li Chun will hate you to death."
In response, Xiao Jue chuckled nonchalantly and caressed his sleeves.
"He deserves it."
Hearing this, Jiang Fengmian's mind was racing with thoughts, and his eyes looking at Xiao Jue became increasingly strange.
If he understood correctly, Nan Xing should have just gone to deal with the spies ambushing around Shen's mansion.
As for whose people these are, it is naturally very obvious...
Jiang Fengmian curled his lips and glanced at Shen Qiaochen not far away.
But in my heart, I secretly sighed for this Lord Left Prime Minister.
It was not good for Li Chun to offend anyone, but he wanted to offend this Buddha.
Looking at Xiao Jue's expression, you can tell that this matter is probably not over yet.
Poor Li Chun, a dignified first-class official, who is almost 70 years old, why can't he think about it so much.
Isn't it good to imitate other people's teasing at home? You have to come out and jump up and down.
It's good now that Xiao Jue is being targeted like this. I'm afraid that even if he wants to have a restful day, it will be difficult for him...
It really echoes the old saying: There must be something hateful about this poor person...
…
The other side of the room.
Shen Qiaochen and Linglan were sitting by the window, talking quietly.
To be precise, most of the time, Ling Lan speaks and Shen Qiao listens.
Part of the reason why Linglan came here now was because of Ji Qingyuan's intention.
The medicine had just been boiled, and Ji Qingyuan was going to follow him back to the top floor, but when Ling Lan said that Xiao Jue's people were also there, he gave up the idea.
These days, Zui Jiangyue has become very eye-catching.
Shen Qiaochen was unwell. As Zui Jiangyue's young master, Ling Lan was both a woman, so there was no problem in entertaining him.
But if he also came out to visit, it would be a bit strange in the eyes of others.
In recent days, everyone in the capital had been secretly guessing about the identity of the person behind Zui Jiangyue. If someone saw that Ji Qingyuan, as the shopkeeper of Zui Jiangyue, had dealings with the fourth girl from General Jianwei's Mansion, You will definitely think of the relationship between Zui Jiangyue and Shen Mansion.
Even though General Shen has always been popular in Beijing, it does not mean that there are no people with bad connections.
For example, the Zuo Xiangfu who held Shen Qiaochen hostage tonight was obviously incompatible with the Shen family.
At the moment, although Xiao Jue, the eldest son of Prince Yong, does not seem to be a hostile party, Ji Qingyuan does not want to leave anything behind before his attitude is clear.
After all, Shen Qiaochen, as the legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official, has close contacts with merchants, and it would not be a good idea to tell her about it.
However, since her daughter Linglan has already appeared in front of Xiao Jue and others, she will continue to appear next to Shen Qiaochen, representing Zui Jiangyue, caring about Shen Qiaochen who suddenly fell ill here. In the eyes of outsiders, It's much more normal.
Therefore, Linglan and Shen Qiaochen were sitting together, seemingly only caring about Shen Qiaochen's health, and the content of their chat was only about snacks and lantern festivals.
But where no one else could see it, Linglan used the cover of her wide sleeves to quietly take out a letter from her sleeves and carefully handed it to Shen Qiaochen.
When her fingertips touched the cold hard paper, Shen Qiaochen was slightly startled, but she quickly reached out to take it and hid it in her sleeve.
The two of them were facing away from everyone. The moonlight outside the window was hazy, and no one noticed the little movement between them for a while.
Shen Qiaochen looked at Ling Lan questioningly, but saw her moving the corners of her lips slightly without any trace.
After seeing Linglan's "Daddy" mouth shape clearly, Shen Qiaochen also nodded slightly.
After completing what her father had told her to do, Suzulan felt relieved.
Although she didn't know what happened to her father that made her need to guard against others like this, but since it was her father's personal instructions, she would naturally be extremely careful.
…
Mr. Ji wrote a letter to her at this time, and Shen Qiaochen had some idea of the content in the letter.
Carefully putting away the letter in her sleeve, she continued to chat with Suzuran as if nothing had happened.
…
"Hey... Miss Fourth, look, the float is coming..."
Linglan's brisk voice rang in her ears, and Shen Qiaochen couldn't help but look out the window.
I saw crowds of people on the street downstairs, cheers and cheers one after another.
People who were originally packed to the brim now moved aside to make way for a path large enough for the float to pass.
The float, which was more than a hundred meters away before, was slowly approaching.
Just as Ling Lan said, she was about to pass Zui Jiangyue downstairs.
Just like what Shen Qiaochen saw on the float before, the shops and buildings on both sides of the road would extinguish the lights and candles wherever the float passed, leaving only a few lanterns hanging on the pink and white float, exuding Misty halo.
Looking from a distance, it does look like a half-opened peach blossom, lingering with fairy spirit.
Through the hazy gauze curtain, you can see a graceful figure sitting in the car.
From Shen Qiaochen's angle at this time, he could not clearly see the face of the woman inside.
But as we all know, the "Peach Blossom Fairy" selected this year is the top star of the most famous brothel in Beijing, "Nan Sheng Meng".
Taoyao is known as the first of the "Twelve Hairpins".
The reputation of this Taoyao girl was so great that Shen Qiaochen knew about it even though she rarely went out.
Being a woman in this world is inherently difficult.
Shen Qiaochen was lucky enough to be born in the family of Zhongming Dingshi, but she never felt contempt for those women who were not so lucky, let alone thought of being superior to others.
This is especially true in her two lifetimes.
Although she is the legitimate daughter of a general and once the queen of a country, so what?
In the end, she fell into the dust from that high position, and even her life withered away.
Whether it is high above the ground or falling into pieces.
For Shen Qiaochen today, there is no difference.
After all, one cannot choose one's origin.
How to make a way for yourself, protect yourself, your loved ones, and all the people you want to protect is the most important thing.
