Shao family has a daughter

Chapter 59: The Prince of Yan (1)
"There is such a thing?" Gao Chen's voice didn't fluctuate much, there was surprise, but it was not shocking, he thought about it for a moment, and asked instead: "In this case, why didn't you get engaged to Lu Jian later? Instead, I went to the draft."

Xianhui looked at him unexpectedly, "Aren't you... not angry?"

Gao Chen said indifferently: "The male university should marry and the female university should marry. Why are you so angry? You didn't make a private decision for life, but your mother proposed marriage to you in order to avoid the draft. It's just the order of your parents. Besides, I have known Lu Jian for a long time, and I know a little bit about his character, he is not the kind of person who steals incense and jade."

There was unconcealable surprise in Xian Hui's eyes.

After a while, he slowly relaxed again.

Nanny Li said that Gao Chen was a confident man, even conceited. Instead of being suspicious by him all day long, it would be better to be honest. To him, Lu Jian did not pose any threat at all.I just feel very lucky in my heart, fortunately, I listened to Nanny Li's persuasion on this matter, and she was right.

Gao Chen suddenly asked: "Could it be that you have met in private?"

His voice is not loud, but there is a majesty that makes people dare not lie.

"No, no." Xianhui shook her head repeatedly, waved her hands and said, "Of course I haven't met him in private, but I'm just afraid...I'm afraid Shao Tongyun will talk nonsense."

"Don't pay attention to her." A stern look flashed between Gao Chen's brows.

Shao Tongyun first created a misunderstanding and wanted to rely on him, then plotted against Xianhui with his sister-in-law, and then made a fake pregnancy for his elder brother as a concubine.If it wasn't for the help of Nanny Li by his wife's side, I'm afraid it would not be so easy to clear up the suspicion.

How do I deal with the fact that I happen to be away from home and my wife is alone?I'm afraid it will take a lot of suffering.

This kind of trouble making waves and vicious thoughts must not be left behind!Even my elder brother and mother are soft-hearted, and when I finish the war in Fujian, I will get rid of her with my own hands!
He said: "The pure ones are pure, and the turbid ones are turbid. If you can do it properly, you can do it right."

Xian Hui couldn't help but nodded.

Gao Chen asked again: "Why didn't you get engaged to Lu Jian after that? You went to the audition again."

"It was my father, who reported his name without telling me." Xianhui didn't hide it for his father, and it wasn't worth it.

Gao Chen thought for a moment before he understood the cause and effect relationship.He pondered, "That is to say, your mother was going to ask you to discuss marriage with Lu Jian, and then your father secretly reported your name to participate in the draft. You didn't even know about it, so you had to enter the palace for the draft."

Xianhui nodded, and replied: "My father said that the name of the draft has already been reported. If I don't go, it will be rebellion and disobedience, and the entire East Court will not end well." She avoided the Shao family. He only said: "I... I was frightened by him."

A cold light flashed in Gao Chen's eyes, "So that's how it is."

Although outrageous, it is also in line with Shao Yuanheng's mercenary character.

Xian Hui whispered: "I was afraid of hurting my family, so I didn't dare to say it. Later, you knew that my brother came after me, but I was already in Xiunu's car, what can I do? I can only persuade him to go back first gone."

Gao Chen thought about it, and he misunderstood her at the beginning.

Xianhui still had doubts in her heart, and asked again: "At the beginning, you asked Xiaoqiao to tell me the news, right? I wanted to thank you for a long time, but I never had the chance."

Gao Chen just nodded lightly, and didn't say much, so as not to have to explain why he wanted to tip off the news.

"It's really you?" Xianhui confirmed, feeling grateful in his heart.

Her eyes are watery and starry, like a cute and pitiful little sika deer.

Gao Chen's heart skipped a beat.

If it is a man who is not so self-sustaining, at this time, just jokingly say, "It doesn't matter, now is your chance to repay me." I pulled my little wife into my arms, just when she was grateful in her heart, it went smoothly. Good thing happened.

But Gao Chen was unwilling to take advantage of the situation and rob him at such a time.

—He has his pride.

So after a moment of silence, he asked, "So you're worried that Shao Tongyun will use this to throw you dirty water?"

"Yeah." Xianhui nodded, "The kindness and resentment between me and her is too deep, and she acts too extreme, so it's hard to say that there will be any rumors, but it's not convenient for her to come out now, Mrs. Rong..."

Gao Chen frowned, Rong Shi is also a restless crazy woman.

Xian Hui sighed, "Actually speaking, Shao Tongyun almost got engaged to Lu Jian. At that time, my father was anxious to marry her, probably because my brother-in-law was good, so he planned to get engaged directly to the Lu family. Because of this, she was in a hurry, so she ran to Jingshui Nunnery. Then she did not know what medicine she took, and not long after she came back, she said that she was pregnant."

Gao Chen said coldly: "After listening to this, I have defiled my ears."

Xianhui said again: "I just heard from Nanny Li that Lu Jian suddenly disappeared. I feel weird, I don't know if Mrs. Rong is playing tricks, or someone else." It's not easy to say directly The princess of the county, anyway, Gao Chen is smart, he will guess it in his heart, "I'm afraid, the matter is aimed at me."

Gao Chen fell silent, the silence was longer this time, but not for a long time.

After a while, he said, "Don't worry, I'll arrange this matter."

Xianhui asked timidly again: "Then Lu Jian, you won't be angry with me anymore?"

"Why are you angry?" Gao Chen picked up the fan and tapped her on the head, "In your heart, I am such a brainless person? Just listen to others' whispers, and you will believe it."

Xianhui hurriedly hugged her head, stepped back and muttered, "I... how do I know? You have always been so fierce."

"I'm fierce? When?" Gao Chen looked at her bright eyes, shining like stars, listening to her speak ill of him, - for some reason, there was a touch of joy in his heart.

Probably because of being trusted by her, satisfied by the joy in her eyes, infected with joy.

"Thank you, King of the Four Counties." Xianhui smiled brightly, and said this secret that had been pressed in her heart for a long time, as if a big rock had been lifted, and she immediately felt relieved.That's great...he didn't misunderstand himself or Lu Jian, and made arrangements for himself.Now I can't help but feel that marrying him is really profitable.

Gao Chen stretched out his hand towards her, "Come here."

Xian Hui is soft-spoken and short-handed, and walked over coyly, "That... thank you." Looking at his handsome face so close to him, looking into his eyes, the snow mountains inside all melted up.

Why does he seem to be a different person suddenly?I don't even know each other.

She suddenly developed a mischievous energy to play tricks on others, picked up the fan, and knocked on his head, "This... is my thank you gift for you!"

Relying on the fact that he knew that he would not chase him out, he ran away quickly.

"Ha..." She left behind the laughter of doing a little bad thing, and ran like a cunning rabbit, and the delicate and exquisite figure in light yellow disappeared outside the bead curtain in an instant.

Provoking Yuzi to ask: "Princess of the Four Counties, what are you happy about?"

She talked nonsense outside: "Just now I found two taels of silver under the bed."

Gao Chen touched his head with his backhand, the light tap didn't hurt, but there was still a lingering tactile sensation, as well as her sweet scent.He shook his head and laughed, why did he marry such a crazy girl?It's still too small, and it will be stable in a few years.

At night, Gao Chen woke up from his dream.

I am a light sleeper, and I have been worrying about being in bed with her these days, afraid of having that nightmare again, and then making scary moves towards her.But these days have been safe and sound. She seems to be harmless by nature, and she doesn't let herself feel any threat, so her body has no instinctive defense.

At this moment, he couldn't help but look sideways at his petite wife.

She turned sideways slightly, curled up like a kitten, and was still holding the corner of the quilt with her hands—as if she had dreamed of something unpleasant, her delicate nose frowned, her mouth pouted slightly, and she was more dignified and generous than she did during the day, There is also an undisguised innocence and childishness.

Gao Chen stretched out his hand, curling a strand of soft blue silk around his fingertips.

Regarding Lu Jian's matter, she would not listen to any gossip, and Shao Tongyun's troubles were in vain, so she didn't have to worry about them at all.But... I also won't completely believe her just based on some rhetoric.I only believe what I see, hear, and rationally analyze, not any emotion.

He said softly in his heart, Xianhui...don't lie.

At dawn the next day, Xianhui washed up and went out.

Originally, today was the wedding day for Princess Xiaohe and Lu Jian, but now that the groom is gone, the wedding will naturally be impossible.She tried her best to take a few deep breaths, and reminded herself, - don't think about Lu Jian, don't think about it, no matter whether he is alive or dead, you can't help anything by thinking about it yourself, it will only add to the chaos!
I'm sorry, Lu Jian... I hope the gods and bodhisattvas will bless you.

Xianhui helped the red gold pearl pendant on her temples, smoothed her hair, and then entered the upper room with a calm expression.As usual, he was respectful and cautious, but his brows were slightly frowned, as if he was worried about his sister-in-law, and his expression was just right.Otherwise, it would be strange if there was no reaction at all.

As soon as you enter the hall, you can feel the depressing atmosphere.

To her slight surprise, Xiaohe Princess is also there!Oh, by the way, she looks gentle and generous, but in fact she has always been aggressive.Something happened to her wedding today, and the bridegroom officer disappeared. Another girl must be hiding in the house and crying.She didn't cry or make trouble, and came to pay her respects to her aunt as usual.

The hall was too quiet, Xianhui didn't speak, and blessed Princess Qing and took her seat.

Princess Qing said solemnly, "Xiaohe, don't worry. A lot of people have been sent to search around. Even the checkpoints on the border of Jiangdu have been informed of martial law. Lu Jian will definitely be found."

Princess Xiaohe wore a begonia red begonia-red begonia with golden thread makeup, not only wearing nobile hairpins, but also some pearls and emeralds, and an apricot-colored silk flower slanted on her temples, which was quite gorgeous.She didn't often dress up like this before, but today she felt like she was dressing up deliberately in order to force a smile.

She smiled calmly, "With mother's words, my daughter can feel at ease."

Xianhui couldn't help but look sideways, this person is really calm enough, one has to admire.

"Xianhui." Princess Dajun suddenly asked, "Don't you know Lu Jian? Where does he usually go and who does he like to hang out with? Do you have any idea?"

Everyone turned their attention.

Xianhui showed a look of surprise, "Is sister-in-law in a hurry? How did I know Lu Jian? Oh, you mean my brother-in-law and Lu Jian are friends?" Looking at Princess Qing, "You don't need to tell me, sister-in-law. As soon as I heard that Lu Jian could not be found yesterday, I sent the girl to my sister's house and asked my brother-in-law to help find out."

Then he looked at Concubine Wanci, Xiaohe and princess, "As soon as there is news, I will tell you."

She speaks fluently, her expression is natural and true, and she expresses worry within the scope of due care, without any emotional ups and downs at all.There was even a faint taste of perfunctory, which was in line with the unfriendly relationship with Concubine Wanci, which was impeccable.

Everyone nodded slightly, without any special reaction.

Princess Xiaohe responded with a smile, very perfunctory, then bowed her head and remained silent.

Really good at acting!Princess Dajun's face froze slightly, unwilling to reconcile, and said: "Usually, during the holidays, Lu Jian should have been to Shao's house? What hobbies does he usually have, and what kind of character is he? Don't you know a thing or two? ? Right now, everyone is anxious to find Lu Jian, and if they know more information, they will be able to find him."

Xianhui was furious in her heart, she was not in a hurry to find someone, but she was clearly trying to get her involved with Lu Jian.Even if it doesn't matter, it will give a little bit of impression to others. If there are any gossips later, people will unconsciously associate it with themselves!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, he looked confused, "Sister-in-law? Lu Jian is a foreigner, how do I know his hobbies? You keep asking me this question, could it be... What did Tong Yun tell you? She wants to Did you slander me?" Chasing a strong dose of medicine, "Aren't you bewitched by her again?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone's eyes showed suspicion.

Princess Qing also looked at the eldest daughter-in-law sharply, her brows were already filled with anger.

Princess Dajun never thought that lifting a rock did not hit others, but hit her own foot instead!Now, no matter what, he couldn't have anything to do with Shao Tongyun.You Qi was anxious and angry, and immediately defended, "What nonsense are you talking about? Tong Yun is now locked up in Lixiangyuan, and I have never seen her before, so she has no chance to talk to me."

Xianhui comforted her with concern, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, if you don't have it, you won't." Then he said: "Now everyone is anxious about Xiaohe, and worried about her, so don't talk about anything else." The princess of the county drew two black strokes, and then stopped the topic.

Princess Dajun opened her mouth and continued to speak.

Princess Qing scolded: "When Xiaohe encountered such a thing, you are the eldest sister-in-law, not to mention helping her in anxiety, finding someone and making arrangements, but still arguing with younger siblings here. What are you talking about?! Stop talking."

The princess of Dajun was reprimanded by her mother-in-law in front of everyone, and couldn't get off the stage, her face suddenly turned purple.

Xianhui glanced at her sideways, and hooked the corners of her mouth.

The concubine of Dajun was even more angry.

She didn't dare to disobey her mother-in-law to speak again, so she could only be ruthless in her heart, waiting, and waiting... When you turn around and jump anxiously, it's too late to make you cry!He pinched his palm hard, feeling so desperate.

Princess Xiaohe looked at the chaos and felt upset.

Be patient, wait for everyone to say a few more words about caring about themselves, and then get up, "Mother, daughter go back to rest first, if you have news about Lu Jian, let someone tell you."

Princess Qing nodded, "You, Concubine Wanci, and the third daughter-in-law, go back together."

A group of people, surrounded by maids, left Songyue Xizhaotang.

Concubine Wanci's face suddenly darkened, "It's okay for them to look at the jokes when such a big thing happened. The eldest daughter-in-law is still arguing with the fourth daughter-in-law? She doesn't know how sad you are, how sad we are. Sad, so angry that I almost want to tear her mouth off!"

"Second concubine." Xiao and the princess cast a sideways glance, "Since you know I'm upset, then stop arguing." He even left his biological mother and sister-in-law behind and led the girl, "Let's go, let's go for a stroll in the garden."

Concubine Wanci was so angry that she had no choice but to vent her anger on her daughter-in-law, who was more prestigious than herself, "What are you still doing? Let's go!"

"Yes." The Princess of the Three Counties lowered her head, frowning slightly.

The husband's biological mother has such a disregarded temperament. Outside, she doesn't care about her face and make noises, scolding herself is like scolding a girl. She doesn't think about it. The only parent-child daughter-in-law has no face, so is she decent?All he knows is to put on airs of mother-in-law blindly, and his decent mother-in-law is in Songyue Xizhaotang.

Two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, one with anger on his face and the other with anger in his heart, each walked away with their own thoughts.

On the other side, Xiao and the princess sat down in the shade of a tree.

Don't look at her face as calm as water, but her heart has already exploded with anger!Originally, marrying a poor scholar was enough, but the day before the wedding, the groom suddenly disappeared!Just now I was annoyed by the concubine of the big county, and I was even more annoyed by the nagging of my biological mother when I came out. I planned to take a breath outside before going back, and even the girl was pushed away.

Suddenly, there was the sound of thin footsteps behind the partition wall.

Someone stopped and said in a low voice: "Did you know?" The voice was soft, like a little girl, "The bridegroom officer who ran away from Princess Xiaohe is called Lu Jian. I heard...has a sweetheart for a long time. .”

Princess Xiaohe's heart skipped a beat and she held her breath.

"My God." Another girl exclaimed softly, and asked repeatedly: "Who? Who? Then our princess, didn't we pick up second-hand goods that others didn't want?"

Princess Xiaohe was so angry that her heart ached and she bit her lips tightly.

She wanted to know the result later, so she resisted the scolding.

"It's not someone else, it's..." The voice over there became even softer, "The sweetheart of Mr. Lu..." I don't know if it was a gesture or something, the voice cut off, "Otherwise... how could Lu Jian Will you save Xiaohe and the princess? You must not say it, or you and I will be dead!"
