Chapter 23
Xian Hui subconsciously took two steps back.

Gao Chen raised his eyebrows, "Aren't you leaving?"

His voice was light, with a hint of coldness.

Xianhui was extremely nervous, wanted to escape but didn't dare, subconsciously looked towards Song Wenting.She was too used to taking care of her brother-in-law in his previous life, so she instinctively asked him for help, but she saw the astonishment in her brother-in-law's eyes, and even more the doubt in Lu Jian's eyes next to her——that's when she remembered, no, right now Brother-in-law is not brother-in-law yet.

Gao Chen followed her gaze and asked in doubt, "Are you looking for someone?"

"No." Xianhui lied quickly, and whispered: "I...I'm just worried, so many people saw that I was lost. Looking back...they won't talk nonsense, right?"

Gao Chen looked at her, and it was clearly written in his dark and deep eyes, "Can you ask a more stupid question?"

Xianhui was a little stunned.

"They are all my friends." Gao Chen said indifferently: "Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense."

Xianhui realized it immediately.

That's right, when people like brother-in-law and Lu Jian make friends with Gao Chen, whether they want to be an aide or seek an official position, they must have something for him, how dare they offend him?I asked myself a silly question.

Gao Chen didn't scold her, but he didn't say much either, striding forward.

Xianhui's steps were small, so she had to speed up her pace to keep up.

I couldn't help but secretly slander him, he walked so fast on purpose, right?Because he hated himself for making trouble for him, he had to see himself running out of breath to be happy.

"You, come here." Gao Chen is naturally very familiar with the terrain of Prince Qing's Mansion. After three turns and two turns, he found a rough envoy woman guarding the corner gate of the courtyard, and ordered: "Second Miss Shao lost her way, follow along, wait a while Let’s send her back together.”

The woman agreed, and followed after a distance of about ten steps.

——It turned out to be to avoid suspicion.

Xianhui felt a little guilty, and couldn't help but think of Zhou Qiao's tip-off to him before. Could it be that Gao Chen revealed the news?I don't think it's him, but besides him, I can't think of anyone else.

After all, the news about the draft must only be known to outside men.Except for Gao Chen who knew him, the other men in Prince Qing's mansion didn't know him, and they had no relationship with him, so how could they let Zhou Qiao tip off the news?But he seems to hate himself.

No, no, isn't he a manly man?Maybe he doesn't hate himself, but women.

But in short, it's no good for him to tip himself off.

"Ouch!" Xian Hui was thinking about this, without paying attention to her feet, and kicked on the small steps of the rockery aisle. The girl's embroidered shoes were not thicker than boots, and she burst into tears in pain.She stopped, took a "hissing" breath, and then moved her toes. It was really painful.

"Kicking?" Gao Chen lowered his head and asked, a look of "women are trouble" flashed in his eyes.

"It doesn't matter." Xianhui gritted her teeth, and limped up with her heels, "I'm fine, I can walk." She smiled sadly, and only hoped that he would send herself back quickly, and not turn his back on him before that.

"Can you really go?"

"Ah."

"Then let's go." Gao Chen didn't stop for a moment of pity, and glanced at Xian Hui, his deep and dark eyes were calm and calm, as if... he just wanted to solve the trouble as soon as possible.

Xianhui slanders, this person must be very masculine!affim!
"That young lady just now is really unique in the world!" Someone in the pavilion praised her.

Another person said: "I don't know whose family's daughter it is?"

"Whose family, it's not up to you and me to climb high." The person in front answered and made fun of it, and said: "Just now the king of the four counties called that young lady and sister, and he also said that she is a relative of the princess of the big county. It seems that they go very far on weekdays. Familiar people. Hehe, that's not something everyone can climb up to."

Song Wenting was in a trance when he heard the words.

The Shao family?Could it be the Shao family who were planning to discuss marriage with him?Think about it, it should be right.

It's just that I don't know, that unparalleled girl just now is my sister?Or sister?However, no matter whether she is an elder sister or a younger sister, it has been confirmed from the side that the Shao family girl looks very good, far from being comparable to ordinary vulgar fans.

Although it is said to marry a wife and a virtuous person, being beautiful is also a beautiful thing that is icing on the cake.

Song Wenting couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, what was he thinking?Why do you only care about how good-looking other girls are?This is not what a gentleman should think about.

But looking at it this way, the Shao family's marriage is very good.

That Shao Jingye was young and capable, and he was very considerate in dealing with people and things, and the daughter of the Shao family was so nice, it was actually a perfect marriage.The only flaw is that the Shao family has two flat wives who are married to each other, and the Shao Jingye brothers and sisters have only just come to Jiangdu, so the foundation is not stable, and I'm afraid there will be troubles in the future.

But there is nothing perfect in the world?I am a poor scholar, except for studying better and possibly getting a fame in the future, I have nothing to show for it, so what else should I choose?The Shao family is rich and well-off, the elder brother-in-law is smart and capable, and the fiancée is gentle and beautiful. Such a good marriage, I don't know how many generations of ancestors burnt high incense to cultivate it.

Go back and book it quickly, so as not to miss another good marriage.

Lu Jian next to him was also fluctuating in mood.

Miss Shao?I remember that day when my clothes were scratched by the carriage of Shao's family, and the slavish servants outside called the girl who was talking as the second young lady. I remember clearly that it was the beautiful girl just now.

I still remember that the servant of the Shao family was overbearing and unreasonable, and it was that clear voice that scolded him and relieved himself.Her words were as sweet as an oriole coming out of the valley, and her heart was as soft as cotton, especially... that sudden glimpse, which is still hard to forget.

It's a bit strange, she lifted the curtain to see what she was doing?
Then he shook his head, he was just looking at it curiously, so he should think about it, what is the meaning of a good girl?That would be too ridiculous.

Forget it, she has nothing to do with him.

On the other side, Gao Chen and Xian Hui had already reached the corner gate of the inner courtyard.

Gao Chen called a little girl at the door, "Go inside and find two girls who know the way. Come here quickly, saying that Second Miss Shao has lost her way and is waiting for someone to send her back to the front."

How could the little girl have a chance to talk to the king of the four counties?Joyful and nervous at the same time, he ran in quickly.

While waiting, I suddenly saw a lot of people coming in from the other side of the road. They were from the Huatuanjin clan and the ring peepers.A group of people walked straight forward, suddenly a girl saw this with sharp eyes and said in surprise: "The fourth county king and Miss Shao Er are there."

Princess Dajun turned her head and looked, "Xianhui?" Her eyes were astonished, as if she had seen a ghost, and said in amazement: "You, why are you here? Why are you with the fourth child?"

Xianhui said shyly, "I wanted to go out for a stroll, but I lost my way. It was the king of the four counties who sent me back."

Gao Chen nodded lightly, "Sister-in-law."

"Where's Tongyun?!" Princess Dajun's voice was high and sharp.

"I don't know." Xianhui's face was blank, her bright eyes were full of confusion, "I've been out for a long time, she can't wait for me, should I go back to the front hall first? Why... she didn't go back? Did she also get lost? .”

"Tongyun won't get lost!" Princess Dajun said in a bad tone.

Gao Chen looked at her in surprise.

The princess of Dajun didn't care about her uncle's scrutiny, and she was extremely flustered,... What's going on?what happened?This scourge is actually here in its entirety?Not only did nothing happen, but he didn't stay in his house, wait!Tong Yun didn't go back to the front hall, could it be that Tong Yun is still in the room? !
Isn't that...

Princess Dajun opened her mouth wide, and then her teeth chattered. If she hadn't forced herself to close her mouth, there would have been a "click, click".She took a deep breath and turned away.

"Sister-in-law?" Gao Chen called out, a puzzled light flashed in his eyes.

"Plop!" The princess of Dajun tripped over her skirt and almost fell down. She thought the supporting girl was in the way, pushed her away, and continued to run, as if a ghost was chasing her from behind.

The girls were also in a panic, and all rushed away.

Gao Chen waited for a while, but no girl came out from inside, his heart sank, something must have happened in the inner courtyard!Seeing the commotion everywhere, looking back, the timid girl lowered her head, and it was not easy to leave her on the way, "Come on, let's go in and have a look together."

Xianhui didn't want to go in and have a look.

In the previous life, he didn't see the face of the great county king clearly, and he doesn't want to see clearly in this life, and he doesn't want to recall the nightmare, but if he doesn't go, he will make Gao Chen suspicious, so he has no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.I was extremely nervous, as if I was about to be carried to the execution ground for execution, and I felt a little better by choking my palm tightly.

Gao Chen was familiar with the road, and led her through several winding corridors, through the Moon Cave Gate, and took a shortcut to Liuxiangzhou where the family members of the long house lived.Just as he was about to go up the steps to inquire, there was a "hush", and a slightly healthy man rushed out of the room, reeking of alcohol, his clothes and hair were a little messy.

"Brother? Are you drunk?"

Gao Dun, king of the big county, looked up, "Fourth." He was slightly shorter than his brother, but he was fat, so he looked quite rich, and he coughed and coughed, "Yeah, I drank a little today. many."

Gao Chen became suspicious, and asked his elder brother, "Brother, is there something wrong inside?"

Gao Dun blushed, "Hey, I drank too much."

"Come on, come on!" The voice of Princess Dajun sounded from inside, high-pitched and clear, "Hurry up and hug Tong Yun, be careful...don't touch her! Be careful..."

What happened to Shao Tongyun?Gao Chen didn't know why.

"I, I..." Shao Tongyun cried choked up, feeling extremely miserable, "I don't want to live anymore! Let me go, let go... let me die."

Gao Chen's mind was alert, his thoughts turned slightly, and he quickly guessed the general situation inside.

His heart sank suddenly, Shao Tongyun...why did she get involved with her brother again?The eldest brother has a good temper and is famous for being generous to others. It is impossible for him to beat and scold the girls of his relatives.

Then, it could only be "that kind of bullying".

Gao Dun's face was extremely embarrassed, "I drank too much, it's all my fault..."

"Brother!" Gao Chen stopped him immediately, his face darkened, and he told the girl in a cold voice, "Go in quickly, and tell sister-in-law and Miss Shao San not to cry." Turning back again, he gave Xianhui a cold warning, meaning Naturally it goes without saying.

Xian Hui lowered her head, everyone had shrunk to the base of the wall.

Gao Chen had some thoughts in his heart.

Just now I met my sister-in-law on the road, and when she saw Shao Xianhui, she had a very strange expression, as if she felt that Shao Xianhui shouldn't be there - if she got lost because of Shao Xianhui, she wouldn't be so surprised at all.Later, when the sister-in-law heard that Shao Tongyun was not in front of her, she panicked and hurried back.

It's hard to tell what's going on here... I'm afraid there are other strange things.

Therefore, I can't let my elder brother just bear the burden of the crime.

"Fourth..." Gao Dun was so embarrassed that he waved his hand at his brother, "Come on, let's go out and talk first, I have a severe headache, don't stand here and drink the cold wind."

Gao Chen stepped forward to help his elder brother, with serious eyes, "Go."

"Tongyun! Tongyun!!" Outside the main entrance, Rong Shi rushed in like crazy, with the bun on his head loose, and Jin Bu hanging loosely on the side, looking in a mess.She didn't care about her appearance at all. When she heard about the accident, she ran over at the fastest speed in her life, her voice trembling, "My Tongyun..."

Gao Chen and Gao Dun turned around and walked away, making way for her.

Rong's eyes seemed to be soaked in blood, and he looked at Gao Dun resentfully. Just as he was about to speak tremblingly, he suddenly found Xianhui standing at the bottom of the steps——that dead girl is fine, and she is standing here safe and sound!It was her, she must have set up a conspiracy to kill Tong Yun!He didn't even bother to go to see his daughter, and rushed over like a lunatic, "I...I will fight with you!"

Xianhui's eyes were shocked, and she took a few steps back again and again.

"Mrs. Rong." Gao Chen grabbed Rong Shi, "Please speak up if you have something to say." His mind was as clear as a mirror, and he had already vaguely understood the cause and effect, and his voice was cold, "Don't touch the palace."

Rong definitely never thought that the four county kings would stop her, and then realized that she was in Prince Qing's mansion at this moment, and her panic and fear made her temporarily suppress her anger - this is not a place to make trouble, and it is not appropriate at this time.If the commotion continues, and if Xian Hui is held on to death in public, I'm afraid it will still attract suspicion.

but……

Thinking of her daughter's innocence being ruined, she was filled with grief and indignation, and tears flowed down her eyes.

"Tongyun, Tongyun..." Mrs. Rong was anxious to go in to see her daughter, and then stopped when she got up the steps, her heart full of regret, how could she let her do this in the first place?If you don't think about it, if you are not careful, you will end up in a tragic end.

No, it can't be!

How could it be the wrong person?impossible!
"Auntie." Princess Dajun came out from the inside, her eyes flickering, "Tongyun is crying so sadly, I can't persuade her, you go in and see her." I'm afraid that the other party will make a big fuss regardless of the occasion, and vent the bottom. Quickly stepped forward to help, "Auntie, I will help you in." Secretly, he squeezed hard quietly.

Rong's most beloved baby daughter was ruined, and now she can't kill Xianhui, and she has to suppress her anger, so all the resentment is directed at Princess Dajun, "I don't need your help!" Go in through the door.

Princess Dajun's face was embarrassing, and she said to herself: "Auntie is out of anger."

"Let's go, let's go." Gao Dun had never been so embarrassed in his life. He was drunk, his mind was not clear, and he didn't react as fast as his brother.Right now, I just want to avoid this place quickly, and waved: "Fourth brother, let's go."

Gao Chen stepped forward to help his elder brother, but remained silent.

Xianhui moved a little bit, as if she wanted to follow them.

Gao Chen looked at her, remembering Rong's ferocity to tear people apart, then looked at the sister-in-law with unkind eyes, and stopped again.Many scenes flashed one by one, she was running around in the garden by herself, the sister-in-law was surprised when she saw her, the elder brother was drunk and had no relationship with Shao Tongyun, and the Rong family wanted her desperately without saying a word.

Was it she who designed and framed Shao Tongyun?As her guest, she came to the palace, and there were girls and servants in the sister-in-law's house, and Shao Tongyun was not a fool, how did she do it?How could Shao Tongyun fall into the trap?
No, it can't be!

Because even if she had the ability to plot against others under heavy siege, there was no way she could coax her elder brother to come over just in time.The elder brother didn't know her at all, and it was even more impossible for her to find someone to call the elder brother, so the elder brother obediently took the time to come over.

There is only one person who can make the eldest brother come back just in time.

"Fourth Uncle?" Princess Dajun felt that her uncle was looking at her, his eyes were clear and piercing, as if ice knives had been scraped across her face, and it penetrated endlessly.Although she is the eldest sister-in-law, she doesn't have much majesty in front of her son-in-law, who is born in the first place, who is favored and outstanding, and who is a noble man in Tianhuang, "If you want to go out, go out quickly, don't stand in the wind, be careful that your elder brother gets drunk and blows the wind and gets a headache." .”

This life is different from the previous life, Shao Tongyun was the one who had the accident, and the princess of Dajun couldn't shout like she did in the previous life, and the whole world would know about it.And it was too unlucky to meet Gao Chen and Xian Hui at the intersection. She was worried that because she was too panicked at that time, she might make her clever uncle suspicious.

Because of a guilty conscience, he spoke softly and outrageously.

"Well, let's go first." Gao Chen nodded, continued to support his elder brother, and then glanced at Xianhui, lying as if it was true, "It just so happens that we are going out on the way and will take you to the front."

Xianhui quickly followed.

Gao Dun was still drunk and didn't know why, where... where did he drop by?But he had a severe headache, and he was full of embarrassment and embarrassment, and he just wanted to leave early.Furthermore, he didn't want to refute the little brother's face in public, so he didn't say much, just followed that little girl and went out all the way.

Princess Dajun was stunned on the spot.

Uncle, this is... what did you see?I still fell in love with that beautiful girl, so I protected her.

She suddenly became flustered, didn't care to think about it, turned around and rushed in in a panic, and said to the Rong mother and daughter: "It's not good, it's not good, I'm afraid the matter has been exposed." She stroked her chest and gasped again and again, The voice line was tense, "We have to figure it out quickly and talk to each other, otherwise...the concubine and the county prince will not forgive me."
