Xie Xi returned to the front yard of Chang'an Temple.
The lights in the guest room where Meng Huaijun lived were not turned off. Through the window paper, one could vaguely glimpse the brightness inside the room.
As soon as Xie Xi approached, he heard a soft "creak" sound and Meng Huaijun's door was opened.
Meng Huaijun walked out quickly, looked up at Xie Xi and called out: "Young Master is back."
"Um."
Xie Xi's tone was gentle and he responded in a low voice.
Xie Xi knew in his heart that when Mr. Huaijun came out at this time, he would definitely discuss with him the matter of winning over Mrs. Jiang.
Just as Xie Xi thought, Meng Huaijun took a step back and turned sideways: "Master, please come in first. Xiaosheng has something important to report to him."
Xie Xi nodded slightly and walked in.
The door was closed again.
The two sat down at the table. Meng Huaijun picked up the teapot, poured a cup of hot tea from the teacup, pushed it in front of Xie Xi, and then said: "The young master has told Xiaosheng that he has already finished it."
Hearing this, Xie Xi paused as he was about to pick up the teacup. He looked at Meng Huaijun with a bit of surprise, "Is what Mr. Huaijun said true?"
Meng Huaijun said with a serious expression: "The young man dare not deceive the young master, but Mrs. Jiang has one request."
Xie Xi frowned slightly and said in a gentle tone: "What's the request?"
Meng Huaijun: "Mrs. Jiang will leave in two days. However, before leaving, Mrs. Jiang would like to meet the young master and his wife."
"Why?"
If Mrs. Jiang wants to see him, it is normal for Mr. Huaijun to inform him, but Mrs. Jiang wants to see Xiaoxiao?
The two of them lived in the backyard together. Madam Jiang really wanted to see Xiaoxiao, but he couldn't stop Xiaoxiao at all. Why did Madam Jiang tell Mr. Huaijun like this?
Meng Huaijun shook his head and replied: "Xiaosheng doesn't know why."
Xie Xi also couldn't figure out the mystery behind this, so he said: "Okay, I agree, then I will meet Mrs. Jiang later tomorrow."
Meng Huaijun said: "Xiaosheng will inform Mrs. Jiang about this."
Xie Xi hummed and said, "If there is no other important matter to discuss, I will go back first."
Before he finished speaking, Meng Huaijun showed a hesitant look on his face and looked at Xie Xi hesitantly.
Xie Xi was surprised: "But what else is there?"
Meng Huaijun: "Xiaosheng still has some unanswered questions in his heart. I wonder if you are willing to listen to me?"
Xie Xi: "Tell me."
Meng Huaijun: "Mrs. Jiang bluntly said that she would go back to Jiangning's Jiang Mansion to collect evidence that Jiangning Governor accepted bribes, but Xiaosheng admitted that the life-saving grace he received a few years ago is nothing today."
"What's more, Governor Jiang Ning is Mrs. Jiang's husband. They have been married for many years. But today, when Xiaosheng mentioned this matter, Mrs. Jiang agreed without hesitation."
"Looking at Mrs. Jiang's reaction, Xiaosheng really doesn't know if there is anything weird in it."
Meng Huaijun has been thinking about this problem since he came back from the backyard, but unfortunately, he couldn't figure it out no matter what.
Having said this, Xie Xi always felt that there was something that he had temporarily ignored.
After pondering for a moment, Xie Xicai said: "I understand your worries. When the time comes, I will send people to Jiangning as soon as possible and keep an eye on Mrs. Jiang in secret..."
"If Mrs. Jiang is sincere, she is naturally the best. If she is pretending to agree to cooperate with you, the truth will definitely be exposed, and the people hiding in the dark should also be able to receive the exact information."
"Even if there is something really fishy here, we know how to deal with it."
"good."
Meng Huaijun breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
With His Highness acting like this, he can rest assured.
Xie Xi then talked to Meng Huaijun about what happened in Suzhou City today, and finally said: "In two days, maybe Jiangnan Governor Shi Weian will come to Suzhou in person."
"What!?"
Meng Huaijun had a shocked look on his face.
Meng Huaijun frowned and his face gradually became serious: "If the Governor of Jiangnan is really coming, will the young master try to contact him?"
"No."
Xie Xi: "Shi Weian has met me before. He knows my true identity. I cannot appear in front of Shi Weian."
Meng Huaijun reacted immediately and asked, "What does the young master want Xiaosheng to do?"
"If Shi Weian will really come to Suzhou, then Shi Weian may be here for the Li family's happy event. I want Mr. Huaijun to contact the young master of the Li family and Li Youbin within these two days. It is best to gain Li Youbin's trust. .”
Wei Jianqing wanted to take revenge on Shi Weian, so he could only choose to take advantage of the excitement and chaos on the day of the Li family's wedding to find another opportunity to attack Shi Weian.
If Young Master Huaijun can successfully enter the Li Mansion...
Meng Huaijun: "Is this the young master of the Li family who received the cane punishment today, as the young master just said?"
Xie Xi: "Exactly."
Meng Huaijun has understood the meaning of His Highness's words. Now he is approaching the young master of the Li family, that is, to show his face in front of Shi Weian, the governor of Jiangnan.
"Xiao Sheng understands what the young master said. Xiao Sheng will go down the mountain to the city tomorrow."
He no longer needs to stay in Chang'an Temple.
…
The next day, Meng Huaijun left Chang'an Temple.
Mrs. Jiang looked slightly startled when she received the news, but she quickly came to her senses. She lowered her head, picked up the soup on the table, and drank it slowly.
"The doctor will come for follow-up consultation tomorrow. Qiulan, you go and pack our things first. As soon as the doctor leaves tomorrow, we will set off back to Jiangning."
Hearing this, Qiulan who was standing by her side said in surprise: "Why did Madam suddenly change her mind?"
Qiurong was also confused.
Mrs. Jiang put the empty bowl on the table, held the handkerchief and wiped the corners of her lips, and said slowly: "I remembered that there is another matter that I need to return to Jiangning to deal with as soon as possible."
She wanted to go back and deal with that couple.
She had been deceived for so long, and she didn't want to let that couple continue to live happily under her nose.
She thought that revenge against them would require long-term planning, but unexpectedly, Master Huaijun gave her an opportunity to completely defeat Jiang Pei'an.
Mrs. Jiang suppressed the resentment in her heart and took a deep breath: "Go, Qiulan."
Qiulan responded: "Yes, madam, I will go and clean up now."
"Um."
Mrs. Jiang responded and handed the bowl to Qiu Rong: "Send it to the kitchen. Also, spend some money to have the kitchen send some light meals."
"Yes, ma'am."
Qiurong took the empty bowl, turned around and walked out of the room, heading towards the kitchen.
Mrs. Jiang got up and returned to the couch.
She lifted the quilt on the couch, revealing the letter hidden inside.
This was a letter that Mrs. Jiang received before she went to bed last night. Because Qiurong and Qiulan stayed by her side, Mrs. Jiang could not bear to open the letter.
Only then, after Qiurong and Qiulan were moved away, did Mrs. Jiang take out the letter.
This letter was sent by a carrier pigeon from the spy who was in Jiangning to thoroughly investigate her birth.
She personally found the two stable women who delivered her babies, and Mrs. Jiang can still clearly remember where they lived.
For so many years, she had been kept in the dark and had never become suspicious. They did not feel guilty. They still lived in that place. It would be easiest for the spies to follow the address and find her.
Mrs. Jiang opened the letter.
With just one glance, Mrs. Jiang suddenly became stiff, as if all the blood in her body had been frozen.
[As Madam expected, the baby she gave birth to was indeed a boy]
