The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 278: Shen Xuan Makes a Move (2)
After listening to the other party's explanation, Shen Xuan felt a turmoil in her heart, but she didn't expect that the other party would execute it just because of her own words.Looking at Xue Yaoxi, Shen Xuan felt a little complicated and didn't know what to say.

Seeing Shen Xuan's expression, Xue Yaoxi could guess what she was thinking, in order to reduce Shen Xuan's complex sense of guilt, she replied, "It's not that there are no women in the mansion, there are a few cooks in the kitchen. There are also a few women who are in charge of laundry."

"Really?" Shen Xuan responded.Hearing the sentence just now, Shen Xuan became sweet after being complicated in her heart, because she felt the other party's heart.Now hearing this added sentence, Shen Xuan's heart has become depressed again, really speechless.

There were eager footsteps in the distance, and soon Mo Yan Mo Zhu and Ding Xiang Li Luo rushed towards their respective masters and stood still in front of them.Greetings.

"Master." The voices of Mo Zhu and Mo Yan.

"Miss." The voices of Ding Xiang and Li Luo.

After Xue Yaoxi and Shen Xuan looked at each other, Xue Yaoxi asked, "What happened?"

"Back to the master, the son of Dongfang has been arrested." Mo Yan gave the two of them unexpected news.

"What's going on?" Shen Xuan hurriedly asked, while Xue Yaoxi signaled Mo Yan to continue explaining with his eyes.

"The masters of the second wave of the hot pot restaurant fought with the masters of the first wave. Dongfang Shizi was arrested as soon as he walked out of the shop. It seems that he is a spy from another country, trying to threaten Zhongyonghou."

"How do you know?" Shen Xuan continued to ask.

"Miss, the maidservant also went to the street just now, and this matter has been rumored in the street." Ding Xiang interjected to explain.

Hear the explanation of the two.Seeing the slightly embarrassed expressions of the two, Shen Xuan could probably guess that the two went out together, and a bright light flashed in her eyes.Fortunately, Shen Xuan knew that this was not a good time to tease the two of them, so they escaped a catastrophe.I have to say that Shen Xuan has revealed the truth, Mo Yan and Ding Xiang did go out together, and today Mo Yan planned to choose a hairpin for Ding Xiang himself.for her.

"Where is the person?" Xue Yaoxi asked, asking about the situation of Dongfang Shizi, at least he had met once, even though the atmosphere was not pleasant when they met.As a soldier, he has a sense of responsibility. When he hears that the other party is a spy from another country, he naturally wants to "concern."

"I haven't found it yet. Zhongyonghou is leading people to search Man Street in the capital." Mo Yan replied.

"Go and check the specific situation, and report later." Xue Yaoxi took a look at Shen Xuan, and ordered to Mo Yan Mo Zhu.

"Yes." Mo Zhu and Mo Yan led away.

Seeing Xue Yaoxi's arrangement, Shen Xuan didn't plan to go back now, but wanted to hear about the follow-up development, so she and Xue Yaoxi went to the living room to wait.

About half an hour later, the two finally came back. Judging from their faces, they knew that the situation was not good.

"host……"

Shen Xuan asked eagerly, "How is it? How is the situation now?"

Mo Yan glanced at Shen Xuan vaguely, and after seeing that his master didn't care about these vain rituals, he replied, "The man has been found, in an inn, and now the two sides are at a stalemate. Because the other party has Dongfang Shizi as a hostage, Zhongyonghou didn't dare to force his way, so he had to agree to let them go, and now he is giving them a fast horse to leave."

"The other party is from the southeast country. I heard that the leader this time is the daughter of a certain prince. This daughter has practiced martial arts since she was a child. She is very talented and well-known among them." Mo Zhu immediately added.

"So you're still a princess." Ding Xiang sighed softly, probably never thought that a dignified princess with such a high status would become a spy.

"The Southeast Kingdom is just a small country, with an area only five or six cities in size. The so-called princess is actually in the same position as the ladies of our third- and fourth-rank official families." Mo Yan explained.

"It seems that there is indeed going to be a war." Reminiscent of the facts that Dongfang Shizi told before, after hearing Mo Yan's explanation, Shen Xuan said with emotion.I just don't know if the behavior of the Southeast Country this time is their own intention, or there is support from other countries behind it.You must know that the Southeast Kingdom is just a tiny place, it is a subsidiary state of their Zhou Kingdom, and they have to pay tribute every year.But now they have begun to resist. In order to reflect the momentum of the Great Zhou Kingdom, this battle is inevitable.

"Let's go out and have a look together." Xue Yaoxi got up and suggested to Shen Xuan.

"Okay." Shen Xuan responded, which was exactly what he wanted.

The two walked out of the mansion together, with the figures of Moyan Moyan and Ding Xiangliluo still behind them.Soon, their master and servant arrived at the corresponding place.

The outside of the inn where those people from the Southeast Kingdom were hiding was already surrounded by people, except for the people sent by the imperial court to watch the fun.People who are not afraid of death.Everyone was discussing quietly.The whole place was buzzing.Occasionally, a figure leaked out of the inn, observing the situation outside.

"Is that Zhongyonghou? Who is that next to him?" Shen Xuan pointed to direct the scene there.The very prominent two asked.

"Well, the thinner one in normal clothes is Zhongyonghou, and the one next to him is Mr. Wu Yong, the Minister of Punishment." Xue Yaoxi explained to Shen Xuan in a low voice.

"Wu Yong, it's useless, it's because of this reputation." Shen Xuan replied in a low voice, turned her head to look around, and suddenly saw a carriage marked Zhongyonghou's Mansion approaching not far away.The carriage stopped not far away, and a maid came down, Shen Xuan remembered that it was Dongfang Chan's personal maid.

"Why is she here?" Shen Xuan asked herself in a low voice after seeing this place, expressing her incomprehension of Dongfang Chan's arrival.

In such a dangerous moment, everyone will stay away from here in order to save their lives, especially those officials who cherish their lives. This Dongfang Chanfan ran here instead of staying in the mansion. Is it really because she is worried about her biological brother, Dongfang Shizi?Shen Xuan thought darkly in her heart.

"Go and find out." Xue Yaoxi, after being reminded by Shen Xuan, obviously also found Dongfang Chanfan, and turned his head to tell the inkstone and inkstone next to him.

In less than a cup of tea, the two came back.Mo Zhu reported in a low voice, "Miss Dongfang was brought by Zhongyonghou, in order to exchange with the son of Dongfang. Let Miss Dongfang become a hostage and accompany those people out of the city."

"What's going on? Zhongyonghou is confused?" Hearing Mo Zhu's report, Shen Xuan asked why it happened again.

Everyone knows that as a hostage, his life is threatened at all times, even if he is released.If you go out of the city, you may not be able to come back.Could this behavior of Zhongyonghou be a prelude to his son sacrificing his daughter, but Dongfang Chan is the daughter-in-law appointed by the royal family, so this cannot be justified?Shen Xuan guessed wildly.

Hearing Shen Xuan's straightforward inquiry and describing Zhongyonghou in this way, Mo Yan, Ding Xiang and the others almost burst out laughing.Even the corners of Xue Yaoxi's mouth raised slightly, so their future mistress (Miss) would criticize officials so boldly.In fact, they also agreed with Shen Xuan's statement in their hearts: Is Zhongyong Hou really confused?
