Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2270 Deja Vu

This meeting between Mr. Jiang Erye and Xiao Fengqi can be said to have achieved their respective goals.

Xiao Fengqi handed over his great-aunt's belongings to the rightful recipients, and Mr. Jiang also truly understood Xiao Nan's feelings for him. It can be said that both the host and the guests enjoyed themselves in another sense.

As for the onlookers, it seemed that they gained more. The secret agents of the Qinglian Sect hidden in the south of the Yangtze River could be tracked down and killed in one fell swoop through the list given by Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Jiang had been busy all afternoon and felt a little tired. He wanted to go back to the teahouse to rest. Shen Cha still asked Meilin to arrange a carriage to take the old man back.

This time, Xiao Fengqi personally sent the person to the door, watched Master Jiang get on the carriage, and then returned home with Meilin.

Merlin looked at Xiao Fengqi walking beside him and sighed silently.

"It's not good to sigh at such a young age." Xiao Fengqi tilted his head and glanced at her, "Why are you staring at me like that? Is there something on my face?"

"No!" Merlin shook his head gently. "It's just that I've known Master Xiao for such a long time, but I've never seen this side of you. Today I'm getting to know you again."

"Every time we meet and deal with each other, we are basically at loggerheads. It's rare for us to sit down and chat calmly like today. Besides, I've never seen General Mei so..." Xiao Fengqi looked at Merlin, who was wearing a pink uniform today. In his impression, he had never seen Merlin dressed like this, which was quite novel. Thinking of this, he smiled and continued, "I've never seen General Mei so pink and tender, but you can tell that he is young."

"It's not polite to talk about a girl's age casually, Mr. Xiao!"

Although Merlin blamed them, he didn't care at all. He took Xiao Fengqi back to the flower hall. However, halfway through, he saw Shen Haolin and Shen Cha waiting for them on the roadside.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Fengqi followed Merlin and walked in front of the two people. "The Third Master and Xiao Qi brother haven't come back yet, right?"

"We also want to go and take a look. It's been such a long time, we should have finished seeing it by now." Shen Cha was also very worried and looked at Xiao Fengqi. "Young Master Xiao, do you want to go with us? If you don't want to go, you can let your brother walk with you in the yard."

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Duke." Xiao Fengqi thought for a moment, "The Third Master and Brother Xiao Qi have some relationship with her, so I still..."

Shen Cha smiled at him, indicating that she understood what Xiao Fengqi meant. She had just told Shen Haolin that there was a high probability that Xiao Fengqi would not go back.

"Okay, then brother will accompany Master Xiao for a walk. I'll take my leave first." Shen Cha smiled at the two people and patted Merlin's shoulder. "No need to follow me, just accompany brother and Master Xiao!"

"Yes."

Shen Cha whispered a few more words to Meilin before heading towards Jin Miaomiao's yard. These people took too long to be gone, and she was really a little worried, mainly because she was worried that it would delay Hongye's illness.

As for what Shen Haolin and Xiao Fengqi would talk about along the way, Shen Cha didn't care much. Both of them were not very good at communication and they rarely spoke to outsiders. Although they were already very familiar with each other, it was still not easy to chat. It would be good enough if the two of them could say ten sentences together.

Shen Cha's guess was correct. The tense atmosphere between Shen Haolin and Xiao Fengqi almost drove Merlin crazy. She never knew that these two people walking together would be so dull. They really didn't communicate at all. They didn't talk at all. On the contrary, the two people who drove Merlin crazy enjoyed the tranquility of the moment, and no one would speak to break it.

Merlin walked behind them, rolling her eyes helplessly as she walked. If time could go back, she would definitely follow Shen Cha to see the red leaves instead of following these two taciturn people.

Just as Merlin was scratching his head, thinking about how to break the boredom, Xiao Fengqi suddenly spoke.

"My Lord, there is something I didn't tell you in front of the general just now." He tilted his head and looked at Shen Haolin, "It's about those two people."

"What's the matter?" Shen Haolin raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at Xiao Fengqi, "Aren't they unable to bear it?"

"Yes, but they..." Xiao Fengqi glanced at Merlin who was following behind him, "Don't tell the general anything you heard, okay?"

"But."

"Believe me, neither of you will want to tell her what I'm going to say next."

"Is that what they said?" Seeing Xiao Fengqi nod, Shen Haolin sighed, "It shouldn't be anything good. Don't worry, they won't say it."

"My Lord, you are wise. It's not that they don't have good things to say, but they are quite vicious." Xiao Fengqi sneered, "After they knew that they would not live long..." He turned to the left with Shen Haolin and continued, "They cursed the general every day. The curses were very ugly, saying that she was a jinx, that she should not be alive, and that she should have been strangled to death when she was just born."

There was no expression on Shen Haolin's face. He just listened silently to Xiao Fengqi's retelling. He stopped only after he finished speaking.

"Is this what they said?"

"Yes." Xiao Fengqi sighed, "To be honest, I have never seen such a person who hates his own child so much, as if he were an enemy who wanted to destroy the whole family. He can curse his own child with such vicious words. It is really unheard of and unseen."

"This scene is so familiar, as if I have seen it with my own eyes!" Merlin stood nearby, sneered, and said, "These words are not vicious. Compared with what they said in front of the boss, they are really far worse."

"In front of the general?" Xiao Fengqi frowned slightly, "When?"

"How could you forget, Young Master Xiao? The general went to the prison to see them, didn't he?" Seeing Xiao Fengqi suddenly realize, Merlin snorted coldly, "Isn't that statement even more unpleasant than this? They directly cursed the general to die on the battlefield, leaving no trace of his body, and to be a lonely ghost for the rest of his life." As she spoke, she glanced at Shen Haolin's face, "Duke, don't be angry. The eldest sister didn't take them seriously at all. She said they were just incompetent and furious, and could only vent their anger. When this addiction is over and they return to real life, they will find that they are still trapped in this dark cell, and they will never be able to get out until they die."

"That seems to be her style." Shen Haolin's frosty face finally melted a little after hearing Meilin's last words. He said, "No wonder she couldn't sleep well for several days after returning from Linhuang Mansion. It was only after Miaomiao cooked a calming soup that she could sleep for a while." He looked at Xiao Fengqi and nodded gently, "Mr. Xiao, thank you very much! But I have an unreasonable request."

"Don't worry, Duke. Only the three of us know what was said today."
