Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 90 Support her

Pei Zhizhao's arrival made the pavilion lively. Mrs. Wei sat next to Pei Zhizhao with a smile on her face.

The cooks and waiters in Xiangtai House were the ones who knew how to warm up the atmosphere. After a while, the squires and wealthy businessmen all raised their wine glasses beside their relatives. With a look from Pei Zhizhao, everyone rushed towards Mrs. Wei in unison.

Jiang Xihe still held the picture of the bracelet in his hand, and Pei Zhizhao asked, "What is this?"

The ladies and ladies in the pavilion all pricked up their ears. Mrs. Wei had just been drunk, so she suddenly woke up and looked at Jiang Xihe.

Jiang Xihe folded the piece of paper lightly and put it into Pei Zhizhao's hand, "Mrs. Wei introduced a bracelet. I drew it if it looked good. In the future, adults will definitely buy it for me when they see it. I like it very much."

Jiang Xihe's tone and voice were different from those in the past. She was not easy to dress on weekdays and had never asked Pei Zhizhao for anything.

Pei Zhizhao glanced at her meaningfully and said with a smile, "The keys to my private treasury are all on you. You can't just spend whatever you want to buy? But you are right. I will buy it myself and give it to you. Naturally, I have different intentions. I remember Got off."

The squire who was sitting closest to Pei Zhizhao heard this and flattered with a smile, "I heard that Lord Pei and Miss Jiang are engaged and I haven't congratulated you yet. Seeing the two of them playing the piano and the harp in harmony, I really envy others. I am here to toast you. Congratulations to Miss Jiang."

Pei Zhizhao greeted him with a smile, "It's a coincidence. This is the first time Xiaohe and I have attended such an occasion together since we got engaged. It's also good that Pei is occupying the magpie's nest today. I'd like to thank everyone here. The wedding date will probably be next spring. , please come to us then..."

What's unclear about this?

All the ladies and ladies saw that Pei Zhizhao was standing up for Jiang Xihe, and while they were glad that he had not offended Jiang Xihe just now, they also felt envious.

Unexpectedly, General Pingxi, who was rumored to have a cold face, would take Jiang Xihe so seriously. From then on, no one dared to cause trouble to Jiang Xihe.

······

In the carriage on the way back, Jiang Xihe couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Pei Zhizhao drank a lot of wine, the corners of his eyes were slightly red, and he deliberately leaned on Jiang Xihe's shoulder, holding her slender waist with one hand. Jiang Xihe raised his shoulders and asked, "Sir, are you drunk?"

"Well, let me lean on you for a while." After saying that, Pei Zhizhao pressed most of his strength on her, narrowed his eyes lightly, and enjoyed this moment of peace.

"My lord, I'm so glad you could come."

Pei Zhizhao raised his eyes slightly, with a smile on his lips.

"Why did Mrs. Wei make things difficult for you?" Pei Zhizhao sat upright, took out the drawing paper with the bracelet on it from his sleeve, looked at it carefully and asked Jiang Xihe, "Why didn't you tell me the truth at that time? I'm just here to support you."

Jiang Xihe laughed a few times and asked curiously, "How do you know I'm not telling the truth?"

The two people looked at each other, their clear eyes sparkling with youthful beauty. Pei Zhizhao said, "You don't like gold and silver on weekdays. Even if the key to my private treasury is in your hand, you have never worn the things the emperor has given me." , how could you draw something on the spot just because you like a bracelet?"

A warm current surged in Jiang Xihe's heart, but he denied it, "My lord, what you said is wrong. What girl doesn't like gold and silver? I like it too. Starting from tomorrow, I will take out all those jewelry and wear them every day." ."

Pei Zhizhao touched her soft hair and traced Jiang Xihe's cheek with his fingertips. "Of course you like it. In this case, it means that I don't know you well enough and don't care enough about you. Please forgive me this time."

Jiang Xihe raised his neck and replied arrogantly, "Okay, I'll accept it reluctantly."

Pei Zhizhao's smile deepened, and there was an irresistible tenderness in his eyes. "I said I would protect you, and I wasn't joking." Jiang Xihe's face grew slightly hot.

"You haven't said anything yet, what's going on with Mrs. Wei?" Pei Zhizhao took Jiang Xihe's hand and rubbed the back of her hand with his fingertips. "As long as you are unhappy with anyone, I will definitely stand up for you."

Jiang Xihe found that Pei Zhizhao especially liked holding her hand since he proposed marriage. She also liked the feeling of intertwining fingers. She tilted her head and leaned against Pei Zhizhao's shoulder, feeling sweet and happy in her heart.

After a while, Jiang Xihe suddenly remembered what her brother said to her before leaving, and said sternly, "I am not the Jiang Xihe who is arguing in court now. There is an adult behind me, so I should be more careful with my words and actions. As for Mrs. Wei..."

Jiang Xihe smiled and said, "She didn't do anything to me. I thought at the time, no matter what I did, the adults would eventually know the truth. I think those people here also thought the same, so everyone just watched the show. How could I let the adults know the truth?" Embarrassed?"

Pei Zhizhao was a little moved.

Jiang Xihe quickly explained, "I didn't say these words. When my brother left, he told me to think twice before doing anything. Only today did I realize that what everyone values ​​is the outer skin. You can sit with me today, but It’s because of my identity as the future county magistrate’s wife.”

Pei Zhizhao held Jiang Xihe tightly in his arms, and the carriage walked on the gravel road, leaving behind a grunting sound with a powerful and steady rhythm.

Jiang Xihe buried himself on Pei Zhizhao's shoulder, rubbed his clothes, slowly recalled everything he had experienced today, and talked to Pei Zhizhao bit by bit. At the end, Jiang Xihe asked, "Who is Mrs. Wei? Why do you have to change your ways to embarrass me?" ?I don’t know her at all.”

"After Mrs. Wei's husband passed away, she had a close relationship with Xie Chengshan of Huiren Medical Center and had a romantic relationship. Have you figured it out this time?"

Jiang Xihe's jaw dropped, "Xie Chengshan? Is she venting her anger on Xie Chengshan's behalf? But Xie Chengshan obviously won the lawsuit?"

Pei Zhizhao snorted, "Perhaps it's in her heart, isn't she happy that you pushed Xie Chengshan to court?"

"That's why your Excellency found those country squires to come to Wanju Villa to support me?"

Pei Zhizhao smiled slightly, "When you received the invitation the day before yesterday, I asked Han Fang to investigate. Mrs. Wei is very careful. She is very cautious every time she has a private meeting with Xie Chengshan. Han Fang only found out her details today."

"That's it." Jiang Xihe's eyes showed disdain. She hated the affair between men and women the most, but she couldn't understand, "Xie Chengshan only has one daughter, Xie Wumei, and Mrs. Wei's husband has passed away. Why can't the two of them be together openly? Want to be so nasty?"

Pei Zhizhao chuckled, "Maybe stealing is good? Besides, there is a coincidence." Pei Zhizhao lowered his face, "Do you still remember that A Zhen told us that before Liu Quanan died, Xie Wumei was always in his room?"

Jiang Xihe nodded.

"Mr. Wei passed away earlier this year. He also died at Huiren Medical Center. The cause of death was heart disease. During the investigation, Han Fang found a servant of the Wei Mansion. He said that on the day of Mr. Wei's death, Xie Wumei was the only one in his room. , all the old servants in the Wei Mansion think it’s strange that Mr. Wei died.”

Jiang Xihe felt a chill in his heart, "Mrs. Wei murdered her husband?"

Pei Zhizhao was amused by her, "No, Mr. Wei himself has a heart condition, and he was a frequent visitor to Huiren Medical Center before. The servant said that before Mr. Wei passed away, Mrs. Wei and Xie Chengshan were not familiar with each other."

"Maybe he doesn't know?" Jiang Xihe's doubts deepened, and a thought popped up in his mind, "Sir, I remember you said at the beginning that Liu Quan'an was the third person to die at Huiren Medical Center this year..."

Pei Zhizhao stared into Jiang Xihe's eyes, "You want to investigate the case?"
