The wife of the power minister's family

Jiang Yu looked at her with a half-smile, "Ms. Xu is not very good at lying."

Xu Jing: "..."

Isn’t polite conversation an essential skill for every adult? Who would really take the other person's polite words seriously?

The corner of Xu Jing's mouth twitched slightly. She really wasn't sure what this guy was thinking. She was just about to find an excuse to leave when she suddenly heard him say in a deep voice: "Ms. Xu likes to say polite words to me, but I originally said that I hope you come to visit My sister's words are my sincere words. I have been following Madam Xu today, watching Madam Xu solve the case like a god and being serious and responsible for every deceased, and I suddenly felt a kind of... unreasonable feeling. idea."

Xu Jing was stunned for a moment, then the man in front of her suddenly smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "If Madam Xu had gone to visit my sister, and even became close friends with my sister like Madam Xu and Mrs. Zhao, my sister would have Would the tragedy never happen?

Madam Xu was able to save my sister once before. If Madam Xu is by my sister's side, she will definitely be able to save my sister a second time..."

If he had known her earlier than Xiao Yi, if the relationship between them was not such a strange one.

So, will she also protect the people around Xiao Yi with all her heart like she does with those around him?

Jiang Yu is not a person who would regret such illusory things. He has always been confident and even a little arrogant. He believes that as long as it is the person or thing he wants, he can get it with his own ability.

Only this time, when he saw the cold sister fished out of the river, he doubted himself for the first time in his life.

It was also the first time in my life that I had such inexplicable thoughts.

Xu Jing was stunned, pursed her lips, glanced at him without emotion, and said: "It is indeed an unreasonable idea. Even if I am by Jiang Sanniang's side, I may not be able to prevent this tragedy from happening. What's more, Jiang San Mom is your sister, not mine."

Therefore, it is him who has the obligation to protect her, not her.

After Xu Jing finished speaking, she turned around and walked out without looking at Jiang Yu in front of her.

Jiang Yu was left looking at her back intently. Suddenly, he smiled lowly, crossed his arms and leaned against a pillar nearby, and lowered his eyes slightly to hide the sadness in his eyes.

He knew full well that those thoughts just now were caused by the sudden death of his sister, which made them grow into a huge monster in such a short period of time.

But if he hadn't already harbored the seed of this idea in his heart, it wouldn't have come to fruition.

It's really...a pity.

This idea came sooner rather than later, but it happened at the most inopportune time.

After Xu Jing moved away from Jiang Yu, Cheng Xiao, who was following her, hesitated to speak.

As both men, he somehow felt that Jiang Erlang had no good intentions in paying so much attention to their wife.

He wanted to remind his wife to be careful about Jiang Erlang, but he felt that this was not something he, a guard, should say.

Finally, he sighed secretly and said nothing.

Forget it, their wife has always been smart, what things he can think of, their wife can't think of? !

He should stop worrying unfoundedly!

Xu Jing was thinking about Xiao Huaian. After getting on the carriage, she forgot about Jiang Yu.

I don't know if Qiu Shui has made the cake yet, or if the little one will be uncomfortable if she can't see her all day.

After returning to the house, she got off the carriage and walked inside. Before she reached the yard, she heard the laughter of children coming from the yard.

She was slightly startled, slowed down and walked over. She saw that the usually deserted courtyard was quite lively at this time. Zhao Shaohua, Song Erniang and the two young ladies of the Zhao family whom Xu Jing had met at the Zhao family banquet were sitting there. In the pavilion in the yard, he was saying something with a smile on his face.

In a small open space in front of the pavilion, several children were gathering together to play the game of throwing pots. The oldest child inside was about eight or nine years old. He was a very strong boy. Xu Jing remembered that he was Zhao Jingxuan. and his wife Pei's eldest son Zhao Chengyou.

Next to him, a little boy about the same age who was snatching the arrow from his hand was Zhao Jingming's second brother, Zhao Jingyi and his wife Yang's son, Zhao Chenglin.

Xiao Huaian was in front of another throwing pot, playing with a little chubby boy about his own age who was still shaky when walking. The little chubby boy was Zhao Jingxuan and Pei's second son, Zhao Chengan, and the little boy was walking unsteadily. It is Song Youyu, the son of Zhao Shaohua. Next to them, there were several young ladies who were more delicate and prettier than the last. They were either chatting and laughing in a low voice, or joking about the boys who were making a mess at throwing pot. At a glance, they were all young ladies from the Zhao family.

A large group of servants stood beside the children, and the originally spacious courtyard suddenly seemed cramped.

It was rare for Xu Jing to see such a lively house, so she couldn't help but blinked.

She came back in a hurry and hurriedly wrote a few posts last night and sent them out. The main invitations were Zhao Shaohua, Song Erniang and the two young ladies of the Zhao family, as well as Xiao He and several husbands of the Zhao family. Unexpectedly, she also Comes with so many little carrot heads.

Zhao Shaohua was the first to discover Xu Jing's existence. The position she was sitting in was facing the direction Xu Jing was walking towards. She couldn't help but look happy, stood up and quickly stepped forward and said: "Jing, you're back! We haven't seen each other for a long time. See you there, I heard that you have done a lot of great things in Lingzhou, and you have overshadowed my eldest brother and Yanci. I still want to ask you a question!"

Xiao Huaian suddenly turned his head and saw Xu Jing. The arrows in his hand that were just like treasures were no longer fragrant. He threw them at Zhao Chengan and ran towards Xu Jing. He said cheerfully: "Mom! "

When the other children saw her, their eyes suddenly brightened. They all stopped their movements and bowed to her in a mocking manner, "I've met Aunt Jing!"

A young man and a young lady who come from a wealthy family will never forget the etiquette they should have, no matter how naughty they are.

Xu Jing: "..."

This was her first time experiencing this battle, and she didn't know how to deal with it.

Finally, she smiled and nodded to the group of little carrot heads, assuming the attitude of a hostess and said: "You guys have a good time eating and having fun. When you come here, it's just like at home."

After saying that, he squatted down, touched Xiao Huaian's little head, looked at Zhao Shaohua with a smile and said, "You guys are here so early, I don't even have time to entertain you."

"Oh, what's the relationship between us? Why do we still have to worry about this?"

Zhao Shaohua said with a smile: "I know that you and Yanci are both busy people. I just heard that people from the Xijing government office invited you over early in the morning. I was worried that Changxiao would be bored at home alone, so I called my sister-in-law and the others to come over earlier. .”

Xu Jing couldn't help but smile and said: "You have helped me a lot. Yanci and I don't have much time to spend with this little one, and we feel guilty. But how did you know that people from the Xijing government office invited me over."

Zhao Shaohua put away the smile on his face and lowered his voice: "There are always no secrets among the big families in Xijing. The news about Jiang Sanniang's accident spread among the families early in the morning. Such a big thing happened. , I guessed that the Xijing government office would invite you over, so I sent someone to inquire about it, and it turned out to be true.

How is Jiang Sanniang's case... going? Did she really commit suicide? "

Xu Jing sighed secretly and shook her head, "The matter is a bit complicated and the case is still under investigation."

Zhao Shaohua's face turned stern, saying that Jiang Sanniang did not simply commit suicide.

Seeing Xu Jing's appearance, she knew it was not easy to tell them in detail about this matter, so she didn't ask any more questions and pulled her towards the pavilion: "Today is Chang Xiao's birthday, let's not talk about these unlucky things. Now. I told those little devils that when we come to Changxiao’s house today, we are not going to eat the same banquet. Your Aunt Jing is so creative and wants to take you to eat something you have never seen before. As for the barbecue, all the little devils were so greedy that their mouths watered."

This is what Xu Jing asked Shen Niang to tell them when they sent the post yesterday.

Xu Jing didn't want to hold a traditional birthday party, and wanted to celebrate Changxiao's birthday in a way he liked. Worried that Zhao Shaohua and the others wouldn't be able to adapt, she asked Shen Niang to give them some background in advance.

Unexpectedly, they adapted very well.

No wonder when she came over just now, the children looked at her like a group of dogs seeing fragrant meat bones.

She couldn't help but chuckle and glanced at Qiu Shui aside.

Qiu Shui immediately nodded proudly to Xu Jing, and Xu Jing knew it in her heart. She raised the corner of her mouth and said: "Barbecue is nothing, there are even fresher things today. Keeping them will make you all happy!"
