The wife of the power minister's family

Earlier on the same day.

Xiao Yi, Xiao He and Zhao Jingming were sitting in the pavilion in Xiao Yi's yard as usual.

On a rare holiday, the two of them came to Xiao Yi's house early in the morning. After teasing Xiao Yi's little ones, they pulled Xiao Yi, who was busy going into the study to handle official duties, and slumped against the pavilion and refused to leave.

Xiao Yi looked at the two people across from him with expressionless expressions. You advised me to have a cup of tea and I advised you to have a cup of tea. Drink the tea as if it were some royal wine. After enduring it again and again, he could bear it and let Xiang Zuo give this to him. The urge to throw two guys out.

He rubbed his brows secretly, and really couldn't figure out why these two people always came over happily despite the fact that he had never welcomed their arrival.

Zhao Jingming couldn't see what Xiao Yi was thinking. He shook the cup in his hand and said with a sad face: "Who told you that among the three of us, you are the only one who lives outside by yourself? Think about Jingchen and I, we have a big family. There are so many people, it’s really annoying to be interrupted by countless people watching when I go there.

When you were married before, every time you came back to my house, my mother would rush over to teach me about you, secretly or overtly, and urge me to start a family early. Hey, now your wife is gone. If you come over, my mother will catch you. Do you want us to educate together? "

Xiao Yi frowned secretly and said nothing.

I remembered Mrs. Cen’s sharp mouth when she attended the Zhao family’s banquet a few days ago, and she didn’t know what to say.

That was definitely the decision he regretted most in recent years.

Xiao He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Your mother's mouth is really powerful. At the last banquet, she stuffed the three of us with several women. We couldn't even refuse. Those women are also innocent, so we can't leave them behind." They just left, it was really hard.”

Among the three of them, the one with the most gentlemanly demeanor is undoubtedly Xiao He.

Zhao Jingming's emotions were all written on his face. Although he wouldn't just abandon others and leave, he was still very impatient. Unless he was a thick-skinned woman, a thin-skinned woman would not dare to continue to have anything to do with him.

Xiao Yi didn't even have the patience to deal with it, so he left a group of people behind and ran away without a trace.

Zhao Jingming looked at Xiao He amusedly, "I heard that the sixth lady from Tian Shangshu's family went to the military camp to meet you by chance yesterday? It's rare for a young lady to sacrifice her dignity and muster the courage like this. You can't Let me down."

Xiao He sighed secretly.

If he doesn't mean that to others and continues to respond to them, he is truly letting him down.

He usually did not attend these banquets, and this time it was just to accompany Yan Ci.

Unexpectedly, Yan Ci disappeared without knowing where he was hiding when he came up. Madam Cen asked him to lead a group of ladies looking around to find someone all afternoon. She even came over to ask him and Chang Yu several times, but in the end the person could not be found. , could only go back angrily.

They finally found Yan Ci in a pavilion behind the lotus pond.

What was surprising was that when they found him, he was with Song Erniang from Songji Restaurant. Song Erniang stood in front of him with a shy face, holding a purse with a blue background embroidered with white cranes and handed it to him. Yanci lowered his eyes for a while, not knowing what he was thinking. Finally, he said softly "I'm sorry" and left.

Song Erniang was left with a look of despair.

On the way back, he secretly and overtly inquired about Yanci's thoughts on Song Erniang, but Yanci remained expressionless and ignored her. Only at the end, he said in a low voice: "She is a woman after all, and she has treated everything you saw today." Forget it, don’t talk nonsense outside and affect other people’s reputation.”

Seeing that the person finally responded to him, Xiao He immediately asked: "Do you really have no feelings for Song Erniang? Song Erniang is such a good woman. She is beautiful and has a gentle temperament. The most important thing is that she doesn't care that you have a child. My child, if you marry her, with her character, she will never be unhappy with her smile..."

"Xiao, Jing, Chen."

Xiao Yi glanced at him patiently and said word by word: "I'll say it again, just pretend you've never seen this before."

Xiao He choked, and did not dare to say the rest of his words. In the end, he said helplessly: "I don't know how you developed this temperament. The women who have been close to you since childhood have either been ignored by you, or they have been ignored by you. You were scared away.

Tell me, how many women have given you money?What kind of woman would give you a purse that you would accept? "

What worried him most was that he wouldn't accept any of them.

After all, he had always had such dangerous ideas before.

What kind of woman would accept a purse from a woman...

A face with a bright and generous smile appeared in Xiao Yi's mind at an inappropriate time. His heart suddenly skipped a beat, and something felt wrong all over his body.

He closed his eyes suddenly and suppressed this inexplicable thought.

How could that woman give him a purse?She obviously wanted him to disappear from her life as soon as possible.

But if she really gave it to him...

Will he accept it?
Xiao Yi clenched the cup in his hand and lowered his eyes slightly.He has been thinking about this inexplicable question until now.

In fact, he already had a vague idea of ​​the answer, but he didn't dare to think about it himself.

Xiao He had been silently watching Xiao Yi not far away. Seeing that his face was complicated and his thoughts were obviously drifting to nowhere, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

After hearing what Dong Li said about Xu Siniang that day, he felt uneasy and sent someone to Anping County to find out about the woman.

The news that came back made him wonder if he had heard it wrong.

That woman really did, as Dongli said, completely change her person. Not only did she open her own medical clinic, but she also developed two drugs that made the whole county a sensation.

Moreover, she seemed to have always been very close to the county government, but he could not find out what she did in the county government.

The only person who has the ability to block what the woman did in the county government is his cousin, who once served as the county magistrate in Anping County for a period of time.

Xiao He couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Yi, wondering whether he should talk to him about this matter openly.

Suddenly, a man not far away who had never looked at him put down the cup in his hand and said in a cold voice: "Xiao Jingchen, just because I don't say something, it doesn't mean I don't care. I have withdrawn all your people in Anping County."

Xiao He was stunned for a moment, but he was not too surprised. He smiled helplessly and said, "You know?"

Although he is one year older than Xiao Yi and always calls himself his cousin, he never dares to underestimate his cousin's abilities. It should be said that since he was a child, his cousin has been the best among his peers in many aspects. of that.

Zhao Jingming on the side was stunned and quickly looked around at the two men in front of him, with a confused look on his face.

What's going on with this sudden change of atmosphere? !
When did Jingchen send people to Anping County?
Xiao Yi raised his eyes slightly and looked at Xiao He with cold eyes.

Although Dong Li occasionally failed in his behavior, he never dared to hide important matters from him. The day he told Xiao He about Xu Jing's matter, he took the initiative to confess to him.

Xiao Yi can think of what Xiao He will do next just thinking about it.

Xiao He raised his hand as if surrendering and said: "Okay, it's my fault this time. I moved..."

He paused and said calmly: "Your people."

The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth tightened suddenly, and the eyes he looked at him instantly became colder.

Xiao He had been watching Xiao Yi, and when he saw his reaction, he thought to himself that it was over. The woman's influence on Yan Ci had reached this point. On the surface, he smiled faintly and said, "But when my men were inquiring about information in Anping County, , I once found some people with extraordinary skills following Xu Siniang.

Although Dongli didn't say it clearly, I guess that Xu Siniang helped you solve Zheng Shouyan's case. If the people behind Pang Rui knew about your previous relationship with Xu Siniang and knew that Xu Siniang had appeared in Zheng Shouyan's case, they would inevitably I wonder if the book that Pang Rui took away from Zheng Shouyan is on Xu Siniang, or if Xu Siniang knows something.

Those who are following Xu Siniang are probably the people of King Xing. Aren't you afraid that they will be detrimental to Xu Siniang? "

Zhao Jingming:? ? ?

No, why is this matter suddenly related to King Xing again?
He couldn't help but said quietly: "I said..."

But he was completely ignored by the two people in front of him.

Xiao Yi looked at Xiao He and said coldly: "I have already made arrangements for Anping County. As long as she does not leave the county for a day, she will be safe."

Not leaving Anping County?
Xiao He frowned slightly.

When his people sent him news last night, they said that Cheng Langjun, who was cooperating with Xu Siniang to open a medical clinic, was going to Xijing early this morning to deliver goods to the Song family who had ordered their medicine.

He also sighed secretly. He didn't know where this bad fate came from.

But Xinglin Hall now relies entirely on Xu Siniang, and Xu Siniang probably won’t go with her...

Before the idea in his mind could be formed, a man in black suddenly jumped out of the void, quickly knelt down on one knee in front of Xiao Yi, and said in a tight voice: "Lang Jun, it's not good! Madam Xu suddenly jumped up early this morning. Following Cheng Langjun, they left Anping County and headed for Xijing. Because the incident was so sudden, the subordinates didn’t know whether to stop Madam Xu, so they could only let the rest of the people follow Madam Xu to protect her. The subordinates hurriedly rushed Come back and report this matter to Lang Jun..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yi's expression changed and he stood up suddenly. His voice was so deep that it made people feel scared, "Quickly prepare your horses! Find out where Madam Xu is and go quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, he turned around and strode forward.
