Jiangshan is a matchmaker: Husband, please stay

Chapter 110
Nie Wuhuan thought about Duan Qingyu's words over and over again. According to Duan Qingyu's temperament, according to his indifference to Duan Qingyu for so many years, it seems that the executioner who wanted to kill Su Jiu became Nie Wuhuan himself. He pushed Duan Qingyu to a dead end, it was him, it was him...

After thinking deeply, Nie Wuhuan's mind finally cleared up. He suppressed his anger and poured himself a cup of herbal tea. The cold water poured into his stomach, which also dilutes the anger in his stomach.

"My lord, I have a letter." The butler stood outside with a hunched body, holding a letter from the palace servant in his hand.

Nie Wuhuan finally recovered her thoughts and said, "Come in."

The housekeeper gently pushed the door open and saw Nie Wuhuan sitting in a daze in the dim room. He thought about what happened tonight, then put the letter on the table, but he didn't leave.

Nie Wuhuan didn't look at the letter on the table, but set his eyes on the dim light over there. The orange lamp flickered on and off in the room, and there seemed to be a heavy arrogance under the firelight .

Contemplating, Nie Wuhuan felt that the room was a little dark, and wanted to get up to light two more lamps. When he got up, he saw the butler standing there the whole time.

Nie Wuhuan didn't pay attention to it, but moved the fire pillar directly, and lit the lamps on the candlestick one by one. When the light finally returned to the room, he sat down again and looked at the housekeeper.

The housekeeper bowed slightly, but did not speak. The only sound in the room was the sound of Nie Wuhuan opening letters.
He opened the letter, glanced at it briefly, and then put it down again.Grabbing the last name on the letter, signed by Zhou Xiang, he pieced together some of the contents he had just seen indiscriminately, with a clear mind.

While meditating, he couldn't help thinking of Zhou Xiang's recent waiting for a reward in the palace. The reward must have already come down. Zhou Xiang explained some matters and his gratitude to him, as well as the matter of tomorrow's banquet.

After thinking about all this, Nie Wuhuan sat steadily, looked at the housekeeper who had not spoken, and was silent for a while, before asking, "Is there anything else?"

The butler nodded slightly, but he mulled over the words for a while before uttering them.

Although he has been in the palace for many years, he has never asked about extraneous matters, so even if he is with Nie Wuhuan, no one in the housekeeper can tell whether the heart of the butler belongs to the palace.

Nie Wuhuan was careless in the past, but now facing Duan Qingyu's matter, Nie Wuhuan has the mood to think about it, and can't help but look at the housekeeper, and then said, "Go down if you have nothing to do, don't worry about it if you don't have anything special recently. Come in."

"Yes, my lord. Well..." He seemed to have something to say.

Nie Wuhuan folded the letter, put it in his hand and fiddled with it, sat up straight and looked at the butler in front of him, at the faint concern shown on the big marks left by his vicissitudes of life.

care?

Nie Wuhuan smiled contemptuously in her heart, she didn't want anyone in the huge palace to really care about her.

"Anything to say?"

"My lord, I don't know if I should talk about something."

"Say."

"Yes, it's because the Tai Tuo often enters the mansion in the dark recently..." The old butler paused for a while, and didn't continue. In his heart, he knew that there were some things that should be said, and some things that should not be said, especially when facing the man in front of him. A calculating prince.

Nie Wuhuan frowned, he had just figured out what happened to Duan Qingyu, he wanted to ignore who should be blamed and what should not be blamed, and now it was brought up again, and it was about the Taifu.

He knows the Tai Tuo best, he is timid and afraid of getting things done, he is obedient in doing things, he is a grasshopper, who doesn't like to stand out, if not for the two things in the past, his current position is the most important in the imperial court at that time.After that incident, he lost both his son and his daughter. As soon as the matter was made public, the status of the Taifu plummeted, and at the same time he lost many followers and friends.

Now he only has one daughter of Duan Qingyu, the Taifu is most worried about and likes Duan Qingyu the most, so he will comply with all Duan Qingyu's requests, so thinking about it, the matter of Duan Qingyu's desire to kill Su Jiu is also handled by the Taifu.

Thinking of this, Nie Wuhuan's anger surged up again, and with a "bang", she slapped her palm on the table. The butler over there was so startled that her whole body trembled, beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

"It's not uncommon for the Taifu to come here, but since you said it, it means that you have discovered something, so tell me!"

The butler nodded slightly, and said what he saw today, "The Taifu entered the mansion before the prince entered the mansion, and he came in through the small door in the backyard. I was in a hurry, and bumped into the little one. I thought that the prince would see the Taifu when he entered the concubine's room, but he didn't see it. Later, when I thought about it, I became a little scared. If the villain wears a mask and pretends to be a master, wouldn't it be..."

Nie Wuhuan nodded slightly. He knew that the butler was making indirect remarks, and he kept the story to himself, just because he didn't want to get dust on himself.

But what a fool can figure out, how can someone pretend to be a Taifu and sneak into the mansion now, even if someone wants to sneak into the palace and pretend to be a servant girl, it will be easier.Now that the Tai Tuo sneaked in from the backyard, he must be discussing something shady with Duan Qingyu.

Nie Wuhuan was still in Duan Qingyu's room just now, he didn't see the Grand Tutor, so he was hiding in the room.

When the father and daughter discussed the matter of murder, of course they had to turn their backs to the person. Unfortunately, you went to the wrong place.Do you really think that all the people in the mansion are outsiders, and only Nie Wuhuan belongs to the mansion? !
Ah……

Nie Wuhuan sneered, Duan Qingyu, what are you discussing with the Taifu again?
Thinking of Duan Qingyu's words just now, Nie Wuhuan immediately denied her. Those tears, those deep feelings, and those artificial affections all made Nie Wuhuan feel uncomfortable.

He frowned slightly, and superimposed the content of the letter just now, so he had this idea, "Go, find someone to make some clothes according to Su Jiu's size, and ask her to wait for me at the inn tomorrow." , there will be a carriage to pick her up."

Since you don't need to care about your thoughts, why should you suppress your heart and give up a more cherished person? !
Nie Wuhuan thought so.

"Yes, my lord."

Zhou Xiang's celebration banquet was set up in the mansion given to him by the emperor.

The mansion is not too big, but within a radius of a few miles, it is really not small. There are seven entrances and seven exits. In addition, there are other courtyards with pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, and a garden full of various flowers. Everything you need.

In addition to the courtyard given to Zhou Xiang, the courtyard is also equipped with a lot of court ladies, internal and external guards, and fragrant chariots and horses.

There are few people in the world who receive such great treatment, but Zhou Xiang is one of them.

Zhou Xiang also specially invited the emperor and empress to the banquet, thinking that his old father's old friends in the imperial city, as for those officials, they naturally came uninvited, because the emperor and princes are here, those officials who know how to cling to the powerful How could Chen let such a scene go? !
The reason why there is such a big pomp is because Zhou Xiang is not only the only son of General Zhou, but also someone specially arranged by the prince Nie Wuhuan. The emperor has long wanted to make peace with Nie Wuhuan, so naturally he will not let go of such an opportunity .

Today's ostentation was so big that firecrackers were set off and colorful silks hung up in the streets and alleys.

Su Jiu suffered from insomnia the night before, so he slept until the afternoon of this day. When someone knocked on the door and came in in the afternoon, Su Jiu was disheveled and scolded him in a fit of getting up.By the way, Su Xiaoshan, who also entered the door to intercede, also scolded Le Dun severely, and then continued to sleep on the bed.

After the man left in despair, Su Jiu still fell into a deep sleep for a long time, sitting there holding the clothes and shoes in her hands and the dazzling array of jewelry in a daze, and the names of many people danced in her mind, "Zhou Xiangzhou Sir, prince, emperor, queen, prime minister..."

Mess.

Putting it all together, it is nothing more than, "Today is the day when Lord Zhou was awarded. The prince specially asked Emperor Cheng to give special rewards to the ministers who have made meritorious service. He gave Lord Zhou a house, a fragrant car, and many servants. There are still many servants for today's banquet." Your Majesty, Empress, and other adults headed by the prime minister, Miss Su must go today."

It's not that Su Jiu didn't hear who gave the thing in this hand, but that the visitor was frightened by Su Jiu's waking up, so he forgot to say it.

Before going out, the palace servant was still trembling from the bloody scolding, he hurriedly boarded the carriage and returned to the palace.

Nie Wuhuan was being dressed and tied up, waiting for the time to ride a tall horse to pick up Su Jiu, and then take Su Jiu to Zhou Xiang's yard for a banquet.

but……

When Nie Wuhuan arrived at Zhou Xiang's yard for the last time, he saw such a scene.

Su Jiu was wearing the clothes, shoes and jewelry he sent, and behind him was Su Xiaoshan who had been well-dressed. The two siblings were smiling and following behind Zhou Xiang, pushing glasses to the congratulators in front of them.

Nie Wuhuan's teeth were itching and he couldn't get angry. He was about to go up to ask Su Jiu why he came here by himself, when another person stopped him.

"My lord!"

Nie Wuhuan didn't look back, but from the familiar smell and voice, she knew who this person was, and she was not alone.

"Empress, Your Majesty..."

"Wu Huan came late and should be punished. Come on, drink the glass of wine in my hand before talking, are you gentle with the two beauties in the yard, and forget the big things?! Hahaha..." The emperor Nie Yan laughed.

Nie Wuhuan took the wine cup blankly and drank it down.

The queen also had no expression on her face, but her delicate eyes with drawn eyebrows kept looking back and forth between Su Jiu and Nie Wuhuan, and she frowned in displeasure when she saw Nie Wuhuan gulping down his drink. But he said with a smile, "My lord is good at drinking, but I don't know how he is compared to Miss Su over there. I heard that the sisters and brothers of the Su family can drink alcohol since they were young, so they must be able to drink a lot!"

"Hahaha... My queen, I'm afraid I can't talk about this matter, hahaha... I heard that Wu Huan has always cared about that Miss Su, but she has no heart for Wu Huan. Now it seems that I know a thing or two. It turns out that Miss Su has someone else in her heart, hehe. Oops! Wu Huan took great pains to keep Miss Su in the capital, and she did not hesitate to raise her rival in love so high. She used to be just an idle lord from a family. Became my imperial bodyguard, became a popular person beside Wu Huan!"
