Empress, she is beautiful Lu Ziye

Chapter 383 Are you old acquaintance with Mrs. Xiao?

Judging from the information currently available, there is really nothing suspicious about the two of them.

"Could it be that I was worrying too much..."

Xue Lin muttered to himself for a while, put aside the doubts in his heart for a while, and asked about the Haitang County.

"Why is there no news from Haitang County? The letter sent back by the Sun family is also very strange recently, and none of the people sent out came back. Could something have happened?"

In the past few days, he has always felt uneasy in his heart, but he can't say exactly what it is.

There is a feeling of dark clouds pressing down on the city, and no wind can be heard, which is weird and terrifying.

Speaking of this, Ding Wu was also at a loss, "There has never been such a situation before, why don't you send someone to Zhao's house to ask?"

"Let's do it in a while." Xue Lin's brows hadn't been relaxed since breakfast, and now they were even more tightened, with two furrows squeezed out on his forehead.

Looking at the clear sky outside, he got up suddenly, walked to the desk, "Come here and study ink."

"Yes."

Ding Wu walked over obediently, saw him take out the letterhead, dipped his pen in the ink, and asked, "Is the governor going to deliver a letter to the capital?"

"Ah."

Xue Lin responded, then stopped talking, lowered his eyes, and changed back to his original handwriting.

The ink was smeared between the lines, and after drying for a while, Xue Lin put it in an envelope and handed it to Ding Wu, "Send it to the capital as soon as possible."

"My subordinate understands."

After Ding Wu received the task, he immediately went out to do it.

Seeing his hurried steps, Xue Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

Now the situation in Pengcheng and Haitang County seems to be a bit out of his control, and he needs to report it to the higher authorities as soon as possible.

Maybe if the adults take action, what can they find out?Even if it turned out that he was overthinking, it was better than being kept in the dark without knowing anything.

After finishing all this, Xue Lin suddenly realized that he was a little hungry.

I ate a few bites of breakfast in a hurry, and now it's past noon, it's time for lunch.

"Come on."

The guard guarding the door immediately bowed and said, "Captain."

Xue Lin: "Let the kitchen deliver the food."

"Yes."

The summer is hot and dry, and even the wind blows on the body with a feeling of boredom.

The ice cubes in the copper bull were blowing with gusts of cold air, and soon turned into water droplets.

After Xue Lin had a short rest, just as he got up to deal with official duties, he saw Ding Wu walking quickly.

"What's wrong?" He asked while straightening his cuffs, "It looks flustered."

"Captain, we just learned that Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao from the Cai family have been to the Yanque Tower, and Mrs. Xiao and Miss Sisi have met alone."

"Huh?" Xue Lin's hands stopped suddenly, "When did it happen?"

Ding Wu: "The two just arrived in Pengcheng on the first day. According to the maid beside Miss Sisi, they look like old acquaintances."

Xue Lin was a little confused.

If he remembered correctly, it was the first time for the Xiao family and his wife to come to Pengcheng, and Sisi was born and raised in a county under Pengcheng, so there shouldn't be any intersection between the two.

Xue Lin only visited Sisi when he went to Yanquelou, so naturally he did a thorough investigation of her background.

Her background is clean and clean, and she has nothing to do with the Cai family, so how could she be old acquaintances with Mrs. Xiao?

Puzzled, he decided to take a trip himself.

"It just so happens that I haven't been to the Yanque Tower for a while. It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Tonight."

Ding Wu lowered his head, "This subordinate understands, so let's prepare."

The sun goes down and night begins.

Shops are closing one after another, and pedestrians are hurrying home, but for those who are looking for fun, this is a good time.

As soon as the carriage of the Governor's Mansion stopped at the gate of the Yanque Tower, many people surrounded it.

The old bustard of Yanque Tower called Xiu Niang, when she saw him, she immediately stopped talking, stepped forward and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, today I finally expect you to come, please come inside."

While leading the way, she said, "Sisi got a new piano two days ago, and she couldn't put it down. She has been practicing in the room without even leaving the door. The performance of playing the piano that was originally scheduled tonight has also been postponed. Dudu, you are the first to hear!"

This one is in Pengcheng, that's what he says. Only when he is comfortable serving him can Yanquelou go further.

So Xiuniang looked at him with the same eyes as gold, and even a little warmer.

In contrast, Xue Lin's expression was very flat.

After hearing what Xiuniang said, she nodded lightly, "I can go up by myself, you don't need to send it off."

Xiu Niang was stunned, feeling that he was in a bad mood today.

But Zhiqu didn't say much, just said, "Okay, Commander, just tell me what you need, and I will definitely deliver it to you as soon as possible."

Xue Lin waved her hand, and she stepped back resolutely, turned around and continued to greet other guests.

Sisi's room is the best in the entire Yanque Building, and the sound insulation effect is also good.

Only when approaching the door of her room can the sound of the piano be faintly heard.

Xue Lin stood in the corridor for a while, then raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Soon, the sound of the piano stopped.

Because the Governor's Mansion had sent someone to inform him in the evening, it was not surprising that Sisi opened the door to see him, she saluted generously, her voice was soft but not obsequious, "Sisi has met Lord Governor."

"Excuse me."

Xue Lin looked around her face, suppressed the temptation in his eyes, and strode into the room, "I heard you playing the piano just outside the door, and I really like it. I haven't come here for a while, and I've improved a lot. gone."

"The governor's praise."

Sisi closed the door, two steps behind him, "What song do you want to listen to today?"

Xue Lin smiled, "As usual, I will listen to whatever you play."

He is not proficient in such elegant things, and he has no preference, and he is just passing the time.

Sisi was also used to him responding like this, and she already had a choice in her heart.

With a flick of the plain hand, the soothing and soft sound of the piano will pour out, which is suitable for meditation and meditation.

Xue Lin walked to his old position, put one hand on his knees, and supported the low table next to him with the other. He closed his eyes and meditated to the sound of the piano.

Sisi played seriously, and when the song was over, during the tea break, Xue Lin suddenly asked, "Do you know Mrs. Xiao?"

After reacting for a while, she realized who the other party was talking about, and said, "You mean the Cai family, right? I didn't know her before, but we had contact on the day of the water show.

At that time, I saw that the pearl hairpin on her head and the earrings on her ears were very delicate, and I invited her to the room to talk for a while, and wanted to ask where I bought them, but Mrs. Xiao was so generous that she gave them away the next day I'm a couple. "

Sisi turned her head slightly, and showed him the earrings.

Xue Lin has always paid no attention to women's accessories, and can't tell the good from the bad, but Sisi's statement doesn't convince him completely.

He looked at Sisi fixedly, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked, "Really?"

Obviously not convinced.

Sisi didn't panic, just nodded, "Yes."
