auspicious time has come

Chapter 40 What's wrong with Ah Heng?

Mrs. Xiao, who inexplicably understood her son's eyes, was shocked——

He hurriedly said: "Son, the ability of invulnerability should only be used on the battlefield, and it is better to keep it at other times. For example, in the face of marriage, we must never use it!"

Facing the invulnerable appearance of her marriage, what should she do!

This time Xiao Mu did not remain silent.

"My mother has always admired Mr. Qinghan very much, so it's not incomprehensible for me to love Mr. Ji's house and Wu. But why does my mother insist on bringing me closer to Mr. Ji's relationship?"

His mother was not without measure, so this was a behavior he could not understand.

"My mother admits that she was curious and fond of A Heng at first because she is a descendant of Mr. Qing Han, but after getting along with her recently, it is not difficult to find that she is indeed a rare and good girl."

Mrs. Xiao said with sincere eyes: "Mother's thinking at the moment is so simple, she just wants to coax Ah Heng home to be her daughter-in-law."

"...?!" Xiao Mu's usually expressionless face changed violently.

May I ask where is this amazing idea 'couldn't be simpler'?

Gradually doubting his life, Lord Xiao Hou met his mother's eyes of "seeking nothing else", and had to ask bluntly: "Didn't mother ever suspect that she would be a spy sent by the court?"

This is not in line with the mother who has always been cautious.

"A spy?" Mrs. Xiao asked back, "What happened to the spy?"

"..." Xiao Mu's eyes began to become unbelievable.

At this time, Yan Ming told him that his mother had been given ecstasy soup, and he would believe it.

In the line of sight, I saw my mother looking at him with the eyes of "this is wrong", persuading and explaining to him: "Jing Shi, have you ever thought about the current situation of the Ji family? Mr. Qinghan passed away suddenly, and his son The daughter-in-law also passed away, and now there is only a young gentleman supporting the family... Even if Ah Heng really worked for the court, it would be the court's fault, so what's wrong with her as a little girl?"

Xiao Mu's eyes trembled.

"If that's the case, in order not to make Ah Heng go astray, we should help her!" Mrs. Xiao said in a persuasive way: "People in the world say that my family background is the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva to save all sentient beings. Isn’t Ah Heng alone? If you think she is a spy, then go and release her and save her!”

Xiao Mu: ...It is impossible for him to accept such outrageous instigation?

Seeing that his mother wanted to say more, he asked from the front: "Mother, do you know that Master Ji went to the gambling house when he first arrived in Yingzhou, and he became friends with the female shopkeeper of that gambling shop?"

"Of course I know, Ah Heng told me." Mrs. Xiao took it for granted, "It's just a gambling shop. Since the door is open for business, men can go, why can't women? I've heard of that shopkeeper Gu too." Yes, as a woman who is in charge of a huge gambling house, she is also an admirable and strange woman. Ah Heng made friends with her, and it can be seen that her breadth and vision are comparable to that of an ordinary daughter—and Ah Heng is not a bad gambler. It's just a pastime in your spare time, is there anything wrong with it?"

All in all——Ah Heng is just looking for entertainment, so there is nothing wrong with it.

Xiao Mu: "...There is nothing wrong with it."

He just wanted to hear how blind his mother was.

"Ah Heng's character, I think I can't be mistaken, Mr. Qinghan's granddaughter... This is the smoke from our ancestral grave!" Mrs. Xiao's eyes became more smiling: "His Royal Highness I can't read it wrong... Ah Heng is wearing His Highness's jade badge, so who can say that this is not the daughter-in-law that His Highness specially sent to me?"

"His Royal Highness's jade token?"

"It's the one Ah Heng carried with him, didn't you see it?"

Xiao Mu: "The son seems to have no reason to stare at the girl's personal belongings."

Mrs. Xiao felt speechless, and...you have to praise him for his good education?

God, after a long time of trouble, he probably doesn't even know what Mr. Ji Hua looks like, right? !
Mrs. Xiao looked at her son with complicated emotions.

"Since my mother knows about her relationship with His Highness the Eldest Princess, she must have heard about the rumors between her and His Highness' adopted son—"

Mrs. Xiao was quite surprised: "You also know about that...Tong Yangfu?"

Xiao Mu said: "This matter is not a secret, you can find out after a little inquiry."

He asked people to investigate not only Ji Hengyu, but everyone who entered the camp with unknown intentions.

"I'll tell you the truth, that's why mother asked you to talk today." Mrs. Xiao said in a solemn tone: "I heard that this man treats Ah Heng very kindly, and he looks handsome, but Ah Heng has already come to discuss marriage. Age, since the two have not settled on a marriage for a long time, it must be that their hearts are not connected, and Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess will not act reluctantly... That being the case, it will not be the end, and it is not clear who this title is... When the time comes, you have to hurry up."

Xiao Mu didn't understand why he suddenly fell into a situation where he needed to compete with Ji Hengyu's Tong Yangfu for his status.

Mrs. Xiao carefully looked at her son's slightly tense face, and thought of making a plan and said: "Although you may not be able to learn his thoughtful and considerate temperament, but fortunately, this face can still be contested... and it takes up a place. It’s cheap to get a month’s worth of being close to the water, and then we’ll have to use our faces well!”

Speaking of which, why doesn't my son know how to use such a beautiful face?
"And there is one more..." Mrs. Xiao suddenly lowered her voice, her eyes were full of approval: "Mother knows that we are also clean and self-sufficient people in Jingshi. When it comes to innocence, we can also talk to Mr. Shaoyan." Competing for the top!"

"...!" In this situation, Xiao Mu couldn't sit still at all.

"My son understands my mother's kindness, but I have no plans to start a family yet, so I ask my mother not to worry about this—"

Mrs. Xiao wanted to say more, but she saw Xiao Mu had already got up from the chair.

"The son still has business to take care of, and the mother should rest earlier."

Seeing the figure who was eager to escape disappeared outside the door, Mrs. Xiao was full of hatred: "...When this brat has plans to start a family, Ah Heng will have been snatched away! Do you have to wait for Ah Heng to even marry his grandson?" After hugging them all, he went to the colleagues and said that he wanted to start a family?"

Seeing the close lady walking in, she sighed again: "That is to say, the people in the world are so ignorant and superficial, and they only focus on the so-called one star and a half of fame, so that Ah Heng can stay unmarried until now, but in this world, there are people like me. There must be more than one of them! If they are called and snatched away, there will be no place to cry... This brat is really out of his mind!"

The mother-in-law smiled and said: "If fate really comes, there will be times when your husband will be anxious..."

The rain stopped outside the door, Xiao Mu left here, and asked Wang Jingyong who was waiting outside the courtyard: "Painter Ji is back?"

Wang Jingyong looked at his general in surprise.

Xiao Mu pressed his fist against his lips and coughed lightly: "I'm asking, what unusual behavior did she do today—"

It's no wonder that he asked about Ji Hengyu when he came up, but he had heard a lot from his mother just now, and his mind has not yet fully come to his senses.

"Back to the general, Master Ji went to Dazhu's house today. After leaving, Mr. Yan came to find him. Master Ji changed into a man's robe in the carriage, and the two of them went to the wine shop and the gambling house together. It was about gambling. Unlucky, the two went out of the city to burn incense in the temple after they came out of the gambling house, and they haven't returned yet." Wang Jingyong reported meticulously.

At first he had been with Painter Ji for two days, but he saw nothing unusual—relatively speaking, after all, as far as a girl was concerned, Painter Ji was written all over from head to toe—so he changed his staff to watch Just pay attention to where the other party goes and who they meet every day.

Xiao Mu was speechless for a moment.

If she is unlucky to gamble and go to worship Buddha, the Bodhisattva she worships is probably going to be confused.

but……

"Have you not returned yet?"

"Yes."

"Which temple did she go to?"

"Zhaoming Temple in the north of the city."

Xiao Mu looked at the dark cloud surging sky in the north, thought of something, and immediately said: "Order, order fifty elites, and follow me out of the city."

　Good evening everyone~
