Meng Huaijun accepted the letter but did not open it immediately.
In his opinion, the letter sent by Mrs. Jiang should be handed over to His Highness for review.
"There is also a letter."
The abbot covered his lips and coughed lightly, forcing a smile on his chapped lips. When his dark eyes looked at Meng Huaijun, there was a hint of nostalgia, as if he was looking at another person through Meng Huaijun.
"Lao Na asked Jin Niang to check some things for you, maybe you can use them."
Hearing the word "Jin Niang", Meng Huaijun's back stiffened and he subconsciously looked away. He pursed his lips tightly and sighed inaudibly.
The abbot turned his eyes and glanced at Sikong, and said in a hoarse voice: "Sikong, you go out first."
Sikong looked up at the abbot in astonishment.
Although he didn't know why the abbot asked him to leave, it was the abbot's order and he had to listen.
Sikong nodded silently, turned around and left the room.
At this time, only the abbot and Meng Huaijun were left in the room.
The cold wind blowing in from the window also brings a little bit of coolness.
After a long time, a hoarse "Ah Huai" was heard in the quiet and peaceful room.
This time the abbot called "Almsgiver Meng" instead of "Ah Huai".
Meng Huaijun looked a little dazed.
After his mother passed away, no one called him Ah Huai for many years.
"I know you still hold grudges against Jin Niang, but Jin Niang has the ability to find out all kinds of information that is hidden in secret, so I shamelessly asked for this letter for you."
In fact, the abbot not only knew Meng Huaijun, but also knew Meng Huaijun's mother.
Jinniang was Meng Huaijun's biological aunt and the abbot's fiancée since childhood.
However, the abbot devoted himself to Buddhism. When he was eight years old, he chose to become a monk and asked his family to terminate their engagement with Jin Niang.
Jinniang has a lively nature, acts informally, and has the demeanor of a child of the world.
Her thoughts were always different from those of other girls, and she was extremely disgusted with the baby marriage she had made since she was a child. Before breaking off the engagement, Jin Niang had deliberately appeared in front of the abbot to intimidate him and threaten him.
It wasn't until the two families successfully broke off their engagement that Jinniang slowly calmed down, and because of the abbot's straightforwardness, she promised him that if there was anything that she could use Jinniang's help for in the future, she would just tell him. .
The abbot has always corresponded with Jinniang, but not often, only one or two letters a year.
Knowing that Meng Huaijun intended to clean up the officialdom in Jiangnan, and that Jinniang happened to be managing the entire Liuhua Lane in Jiangning, which was a good place to inquire about gossip, the abbot wrote a letter asking Jinniang to collect information about Jiangning...
It had only been two days since I wrote the letter, and the reply had already been sent.
Thinking of this, the abbot handed the letter to Meng Huaijun: "Open it first and take a look."
Meng Huaijun glanced down, then looked away, his tone was not as gentle as before, "I don't need her help, not to mention, I have already inquired about the officialdom of Jiangnan, and I will be able to close the net soon. …”
He cannot accept this letter.
Hearing this, the abbot sighed softly: "Why is Ah Huai so stubborn?"
Meng Huaijun didn't want to mention that woman to the abbot anymore, let alone acknowledge her love. "I took away the letter sent by Mrs. Jiang."
With that said, Meng Huaijun stood up and turned to leave.
"Cough cough cough"
But the abbot's cough could not stop. Meng Huaijun frowned and subconsciously stopped and stood there.
Jinniang is Jinniang, and the abbot is abbot. He should be able to tell the difference.
Meng Huaijun: "I'll go out and see if the doctor is here."
Before he finished speaking, without giving the abbot a chance to reply, Meng Huaijun walked quickly towards the door of the room.
As soon as he opened the door, Meng Huaijun saw Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Xi standing outside.
"Sir, madam?"
Meng Huaijun said in surprise.
I didn't expect that His Highness and Lu Fengyi would come to see the abbot in person.
Lu Xiaoxiao: "Is the abbot inside? Mr. Huaijun, where are you going?"
Meng Huaijun lowered his eyes, quickly suppressed the emotions in his eyes, and then revealed a gentle expression. He answered: "The abbot is inside. Xiaosheng originally wanted to come out to see if the doctor has come."
"Shiba has gone down the mountain to ask the doctor to come over."
Lu Xiaoxiao said: "Based on Shiba's Qinggong, he will be able to bring the old doctor over soon to check the abbot's pulse."
Meng Huaijun nodded.
Suddenly, Meng Huaijun took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Xie Xi, "Master, this is the letter sent by Mrs. Jiang. Please read it!"
【etc! Mrs. Jiang's letter was delivered so quickly? 】
[Sure enough, Mrs. Jiang works quickly and efficiently, but I don’t know what Mrs. Jiang has discovered. If we can collect evidence of Governor Jiangning’s crime, then the next step will be even better...]
[I'm a little curious, but I wonder if I can also take a look at that letter? 】
Lu Xiaoxiao's curiosity was indeed completely aroused. She blinked, glanced at Xie Xi quickly, and then looked away. Instead, she kept staring at the letter in Meng Huaijun's hand, pretending to be puzzled and said: "Huai Mr. Jun, why did Mrs. Jiang send you a letter?"
Meng Huaijun: "..."
Lu Fengyi clearly understood everything in her heart, but now she pretended to know nothing.
Meng Huaijun sighed helplessly and cooperated happily: "Madam, Master, this is not a place for discussion. Why don't we go to another place?"
"good."
Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Xi responded at the same time.
Lu Xiaoxiao subconsciously raised his eyebrows at Xie Xi and said with a smile, "How about we find a guest room to sit in first?"
Xie Xi and Meng Huaijun had no objection to Lu Xiaoxiao's proposal.
There were many guest rooms in the front yard, but Xie Xi chose the guest room he had stayed in before.
"That's it."
Xie Xi opened the door, led Lu Xiaoxiao and strode in.
Meng Huaijun followed closely behind.
Meng Huaijun put the letter in his hand on the table and pushed it in front of Xie Xi: "Please take a look, Master."
Before they finished speaking, the three people in the room noticed a sudden movement in the front yard.
Xie Xi: "It's Shiba who brought the old doctor back."
"Then let me go out and take a look first."
As soon as she heard that the old doctor was coming, Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't sit still. She was about to get up and leave, but she didn't forget to say to Xie Xi: "Husband, I will be there soon -"
"???"
【Huh? Why did Your Highness hold me back and not let me go? 】
Lu Xiaoxiao turned around and looked at Xie Xi with a shocked expression, his round apricot eyes filled with doubts: "Husband, what's wrong?"
"The doctor is there, so don't rush over there."
Xie Xi said in a gentle tone: "Madam, I want to confess something to you."
Lu Xiaoxiao:?
Inexplicably, I noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a bit solemn.
Lu Xiaoxiao became a little nervous: "What do you want to say, husband?"
