auspicious time has come

Chapter 148 It is more reliable to take him down

Yin Hai frowned when he heard those four words: "The general is very polite, what's the point of suddenly mentioning such a terrible thing?"

Master Yan asked with a smile: "You are a monk, so you shouldn't be fearless? Since you feel terrible, maybe you think about it..."

"What can I think about her?" Yin Hai leaned on the back of the chair disapprovingly, and smiled very comfortably: "Going to the capital now, I can finally have quiet ears."

"I'm afraid you won't be used to the quietness when the time comes." Junjun Yan shook his head with a smile.

Xiao Mu also smiled and didn't say any more.

A few people were drinking and chatting in this room, while Hengyu was also having a drink around the stove with others.

In the study room of the guest courtyard, Heng Yu asked someone to set up a table of food and wine, and Cheng Ping sat cross-legged across from him.

The wine was almost drunk, Heng Yu took out a hand-sized brocade box and handed it over.

"What?" Cheng Ping looked at her warily.

The girl smiled and said, "The antidote."

Cheng Ping took it suspiciously, opened it to look, and frowned: "Isn't this just a piece of marzipan!"

"I didn't poison you in the first place." Heng Yu said with a smile as she put her elbows on the table in front of her.

"Who are you lying to? That day I clearly had unbearable abdominal pain!"

Heng Yu: "Of course laxatives will cause abdominal pain—"

Cheng Ping's mouth twitched.

"Uncle Ping." Heng Yu said with a smile: "Actually, you have already found out that you are not poisoned, you are just playing with me, right?"

Cheng Ping sneered: "You think too much."

As he spoke, he stuffed the "antidote" into his mouth, and immediately frowned in distaste, the sweetness was so cloying.

Heng Yu poured a glass of wine for him, and passed it over: "Have a glass of wine to relieve the tiredness..."

Cheng Ping took it and poured it down, picked up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables, and asked, "When are you going to leave tomorrow?"

"I'm leaving early in the morning." Heng Yu replied with a smile.

The girl was smiling all the time. Cheng Ping put a piece of fish into his mouth, chewed it slightly, and realized something belatedly. He raised his eyes and looked at her: "Why did you give me the 'antidote' tonight?"

"Of course it's because I'm leaving. I have to make you feel at ease." Hengyu poured wine for him again, and said, "After I leave, if Uncle Ping wants to leave Yingzhou, he can leave. If he doesn't want to leave , or not sure where to go for the time being, so I went to live in the house in the south of the city as a steward, I have already told Jiji about this."

Cheng Ping frowned: "You go, I stay?"

Hengyu couldn't help but look at him.

Facing the puzzled look in the girl's eyes, Cheng Ping froze for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then what about my contract of prostitution! Didn't I agree to prostitute myself for three years?"

"The situation has changed now. I never thought that when the contract was signed, there would be a clear clue so soon..." Heng Yu said with a smile: "The contract of prostitution will be automatically voided after three years. Don't worry, Uncle Ping."

"It sounds good. If I just left, you go to sue the officials and punish me for running away without permission. Where can I justify it!"

Heng Yu was stunned: "Am I this kind of person?"

"What do you think?" Cheng Ping asked back with a frown.

"..." Heng Yu coughed lightly.

Well, it really seemed like something she could do.

"Then I'll ask Cuihuai to find out the deed of sale later and return it to you."

Cheng Ping's brows frowned even deeper: "How do I know if it's fake? I haven't even guessed exactly what you're planning in your stomach!"

Heng Yu blinked.

"Uncle Ping—" she asked, "You don't want to go back to the capital with me, do you?"

"...I didn't say that!" Cheng Ping stared, reaching for the wine without looking at her.

"But the capital is very dangerous." Heng Yuna said softly in a tone like talking to a child.

Cheng Ping sneered: "When you forced me to board the pirate ship, why didn't you mention the danger?"

"That's different." Heng Yu said frankly: "People will always have feelings after getting along for a long time. Now I regard Uncle Ping as an amiable elder, so I can't do it like before. It's convenient for me."

"You also know that you used to..." Cheng Ping was halfway through the sarcasm, his expression was slightly startled, and when he spoke again, his voice was much lower: "This is a different way to coax me to work..."

After all, he stood up.

"You don't drink anymore?"

"What are you drinking? I have to leave early in the morning and go back to sleep." Cheng Ping walked out without looking back.

The corners of Hengyu's mouth were slightly bent, looking at his back, and said: "Uncle Ping, after three years, wait for the contract to be revoked—"

"What?" Cheng Ping stopped and asked with a frown.

A girl's laughing voice came from behind: "I'll take care of you when the time comes?"

Cheng Ping groaned, without turning his head, he said, "I can't bear it."

With that said, he opened the door and walked out.

The moment he stepped out of the threshold, a smile appeared on his usually expressionless face.

Cui Huai looked at him curiously.

Cheng Ping suddenly put away his smile, and raised his finger to a peach tree in the courtyard: "This tree...is it going to bloom?"

"Ah?" Cuihuai looked in the direction of his finger: "It should be... right?"

Cheng Ping nodded, said blankly, "Well, it's good", and left quickly.

Cui Huai took a second look at his back, then went into the study to serve.

……

In the early morning of the next day, the chariots and horses were all ready outside the gate of the Hou Mansion.

When Heng Yu, Xiao Mu, Mrs. Xiao and others came out of the mansion together, Ji Ji and others who came to see him off had already been waiting outside.

"girl!"

Seeing Hengyu coming out, Jiji hurried up to meet her.

"Why did you come so early?" Heng Yu held her cold fingers.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to send the girl off in time..." Jiji's eyes were full of tears, but she tried her best not to let them fall.

Heng Yu smiled and scratched the tip of her nose.

What should be said, what should be said goodbye, has been said many times in private, so there is no need to say more at this time.

Su Lianniang, Jia Yuan and Miao Niangzi also came. They saluted Xiao Mu and Mrs. Xiao, and they all went forward to talk to Hengyu.

Gu Tingnan was also there, but he was standing beside Hengyu with a burden on his back.

Wang Jingyong at the side glanced at the burden on her shoulders.

"Why don't you see Wushuang?" Heng Yu asked in amazement.

Didn't you promise to send her off?

Although it may not necessarily be to send her off——

But it was because of this that it was strange that no one came.

Yin Hai's gaze also seemed to sweep across the crowd.

"I don't know, maybe it's too late?" Jiayuan glanced into the distance and said, "It should be too late."

Heng Yu nodded: "When I see her later, tell her for me, and see you when she returns to Beijing."

She is not the only one who is going to leave, the time and the day's journey are fixed, and there is no waiting.

But two days ago, we had a meeting in Mrs. Miao's shop, so that's all for saying goodbye.

Jia Yuan and the others nodded, and each said some precious words.

Heng Yu turned to look at Xiao Mu: "Auntie, Lord Hou, let's go."

Mrs. Xiao looked at her and nodded with a smile, and was supported by Chunjuan into the carriage.

When Heng Yu was about to get into the carriage, Jiang Meiguan suddenly stepped forward and grabbed her hand, and said earnestly, "Girl Heng, you must remember my instructions!"

Her errands have not been completed, and she cannot return to Beijing for the time being. Even if there are some stakes, everyone knows it well, but before Xiao Mu and the court really break up, everything must be maintained as usual.

Therefore, as far as Jiang's matchmaker is concerned, only when Heng Yu takes Xiao Mu down as soon as possible can she escape the sea of ​​suffering and return to Beijing!

Heng Yu forced a smile and nodded: "Remember it, Aunt Jiang, go back."

Before dawn today, Jiang Meiguan ran to her room, closed the door and window, and showed her true face——

Those words that revealed their true colors are still lingering in her mind.

"Girl Heng, it's up to you whether I can go back to Beijing or not!" '

'Xiaohou treats you differently from other people. This woman chases after the man and has Mrs. Xiao's help. If you have the heart to take him down, it couldn't be easier! '

'Otherwise...when you get to the capital, you can lead him?Let's see which girl has a play? '

'...'

When Heng Yu heard the end, she just felt that the previous method...was more reliable.

Gu Tingnan got into the carriage with her, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yu'er, I'm not afraid of your jokes, and this is the first time I have left Yingzhou, let alone going to a place so far away from the capital."

When she went to the capital this time, she had the idea of ​​going out for a walk. Of course, what was more important was to go to Ji's house to visit her friend whom she hadn't seen for many years—Aheng's sister-in-law, Yu Shi, was about to give birth.

"Yingzhou is also very good." The carriage slowly left the long street where Dingbeihou's Mansion is located, Heng Yu opened the curtain and looked behind, "It's the beginning of spring, and I haven't really seen the spring in Yingzhou yet."

Will there be another chance in the future?
No one can tell.

And watching her carriage go away, Gigi finally couldn't help crying.

Da Zhu, who was also worried about his own general, comforted him in a hurry: "...we can go to the capital to see Miss Ji in the future!"

"It's just to accompany the girl to visit the Northland, why did I leave myself here!" Jiji cried uncontrollably, as if she had been in a lifetime.

Looking back now, it was like a dream!

Why did she get married!

Hearing the hint of remorse in his wife's tone, Da Zhu was quite frightened, so he hurriedly comforted him again.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Miao and the others couldn't help laughing.

After talking for a while, several people left separately.

Miss Ji, who took them by the hand and led them to the sun, has left, and their respective lives have to go on.

"Miss Pei hasn't come here yet, so it's strange... Don't you encounter something?" On the way to leave with Liu Xun, Miao Niangzi said.

"Pei Inspector Pei came to the Hou Mansion yesterday to visit Lord Hou, and politely said that he wanted to bid farewell to Lord Hou, but was declined by Lord Hou... There should be nothing wrong with Pei's family." Liu Xun thought to himself, "Maybe At such a critical moment, Pei Shishi doesn't want Miss Pei to have anything to do with Yin Hai, and it's unknown if she stops her... I'll let people pay attention later."

Miao Niangzi nodded slightly, and finally looked at the direction Hengyu left.

She doesn't understand those entanglements that are very important to the overall situation. She only hopes that Miss Ji and Lord Xiao Hou will be safe, and everyone will have a chance to see each other again.

……

After three days of departure, it rained heavily.

When Hengyu and his party were resting in the posthouse, they received a very strange and unsigned letter.
