The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 717 Reunion (Part 1)

Xiao Heng never expected that there was another person here, thinking that all his handsome, cold, domineering actions from beginning to end might be surrounded by the watermelon-eating woman in front of him.

His handsome face flushed red!

Like a punctured paper tiger, it deflated and couldn't pretend anymore.

Generally, in this situation, the person who caught the bag was as embarrassed as the person who was caught, but it happened that the woman was not embarrassed.

Gu Jiao...wasn't that embarrassed either.

She has always adhered to the principle that I am not embarrassed, and the embarrassing is someone else's principle.

So in the end, Xiao Heng endured everything alone.

His face was red up to the ears, and even his slender neck was covered with a thin layer of rouge.

Xiao Heng experienced a large-scale social death scene, wishing he could lose his memory on the spot!

However, he has more important issues to worry about than his own embarrassment.

What he said to Gu Jiao just now - that he assassinated the Jin Yiwei in the Prince's Mansion, and also trapped and killed Nangong Li, did this person overhear?

These are not small secrets, and they will cause death.

"I think we are in a bad situation at the scene." Xiao Heng whispered to Gu Jiao.

"Indeed!" Gu Jiao looked serious, "Xu Fengxian is coming!"

Xiao Heng: "..."

Are you sure the point is this?

There are three pots of gold in total, one pot in Gu Jiao's left hand, one pot in her right hand, and one pot on her head.

Just when she was about to leave the crime scene with the stolen goods, Yuan Xiao came out to look for her.

Before others arrive, the voice arrives first.

"Rokuro! Where are you, Rokuro?"

Gu Jiao swore that she walked very steadily, but the moment her name was called, she slipped and fell face down.

The three pots of gold rolled out, rolling to the soles of Xu Fengxian's feet impartially.

Xu Fengxian looked at Gu Jiao with a dark face, gritted his teeth and said, "Xiao, Gong, son!"

Gu Jiao: Liu Lang's name is poisonous——

Gu Jiao's plan to steal gold ended in failure.

A life without gold is an incomplete life, Gu Jiao went upstairs without a soul.

Xu Fengxian was so angry that she wished she could bite Gu Jiao, but it was a pity that she couldn't beat her.

Although Gu Jiao can beat Xu Fengxian,

But it can't be overtly robbed, after all, the two of them are now half partners.

Xiao Heng also planned to go upstairs.

Xiao Heng had been to Tianxiang Pavilion before, he was still Long Yi, and he was friends with Gu Chengfeng, so Xu Fengxian treated him kindly.

Where he was going, Xu Fengxian didn't stop him.

But the woman holding the watermelon also silently followed behind Xiao Heng.

"Stop, old lady!" Xu Fengxian sternly shouted.

She can't afford to offend those two little ancestors, but she can't handle a woman picked up by the side of the road?

She rolled up her sleeves and said angrily: "Are you awake? I will work for my mother when I wake up!"

The woman hugged the watermelon and hid beside Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng glanced at her with a slight frown, thinking of whether she had heard what she said just now, he decided to take her away first, and let her go after he understood.

"She will follow me." Xiao Heng said to Xu Fengxian.

The woman bit the spoon, paused while eating the melon, and stared at Xiao Heng's eyes for a moment.

With one hand on his hip, Xu Fengxian pointed at Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao who had already gone upstairs with one hand holding the handkerchief: "One or two of you, don't go too far! It's fine to steal gold, why? You still have to rob people!"

Xiao Heng said indifferently: "She is not from your Tianxiang Pavilion."

No one in Tianxiang Pavilion would dress like this.

Xu Fengxian choked: "That, that is..."

Xiao Heng said unhurriedly: "A lot of distinguished guests came to Tianxiang Pavilion today. I heard that people from the Prince's residence also came. The prince is the best at upholding justice. Let him know that you forced a good man into prostitution. Can your Tianxiang Pavilion continue to operate?" ?”

As soon as his words fell, the woman raised her chin in cooperation: "Huh!"

Xu Fengxian: "..."

The woman was taken upstairs by Xiao Heng.

Xu Fengxian was annoyed.

The gold was saved, but the beauty who got it flew away.

The beauty of this beauty, when she fainted, she was already peerless in the world, and when she woke up, she was even better than Jiugong Xian'e.

"What a pity, what a pity!"

...

It was not surprising for Gu Jiao to see that Xiao Heng brought the woman here, after all, she had heard the secret just now, and she had to confirm that she would not leak the news before letting her go.

The woman did not show any guilt or embarrassment after entering the room, and the scene in the lobby began.

The location of Gu Chengfeng's wing is special. There is a balcony that is not too big or small. Sitting on the balcony, you can overlook the entire stage, and the angle is even good.

The woman hugged the watermelon and sat down on a stool on the terrace.

Gu Jiao found that the watermelon in her hand was no longer the half that was just now, but a brand new half, red and icy, and it seemed to be very sweet and delicious.

Gu Jiao looked at Xiao Heng, when did she take half a watermelon again?

Xiao Heng said that he didn't know either.

He walked in front and she followed behind.

Didn't notice her leaving.

but--

Just now, there were two servant girls passing them by, each carrying two large trays covered with cloth.

Could it be that she was sent by Shunlai at that time?

And not only did she go smoothly, but she also put the half of the watermelon scoop she had eaten under the silk cloth.

I really don't know which unlucky person will eat the half empty melon.

——The unlucky guy is King Ming.

...

She was sitting on the terrace, digging watermelons.

Her back was facing Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao, and they couldn't see her expression clearly.

But she didn't do anything, the way she focused on eating melons was inexplicably reassuring, and she always felt that she would not say what she had just heard.

"Maybe she didn't hear at all." Xiao Heng said to Gu Jiao while sitting at the Eight Immortals table.

Gu Jiao sat next to Xiao Heng, she rested her chin on one hand and looked at her back, thoughtful.

Normal people will not be so calm when they hear such a big secret, at least worry about whether they will be silenced.

Not everyone knows that Nangong Li is a big bastard, everyone in Shengdu thinks that Nangong Li is a good person, so those who kill a good person will naturally become evil people.

It is a routine operation for the wicked to kill people and silence them.

She dared to follow, which showed that she was not afraid in her heart.

She didn't think they were villains.

Gu Jiao said, "Maybe."

It doesn't matter whether she heard it or not, the important thing is that Gu Jiao also feels that she will not leak this matter.

It's a gut feeling.

On the stage, the erhu sounded and the singing started, and the voices of the entire Tianxiang Pavilion were suppressed.

Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng were still some distance away from the terrace, and with the voice of the opera, she couldn't hear their conversation.

Xiao Heng took off his mask and asked about Gu Jiao's disappearance for several days. Gu Chengfeng said that she was fine, but he didn't believe it.

She is the one who braved the blizzard and had to climb thousands of mountains and ridges to go home. If there is no accident, it is impossible for her to stay outside for seven days.

"It's fine." Gu Jiao said.

"Where is the injury? Let me see." Xiao Heng said.

Gu Jiao showed him the scratch on his arm that had already healed.

Xiao Heng understood that the injury she suffered was not just that, he held her hand together, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Why do you have to hunt down and kill the people in the Prince's Mansion?"

"I have a question in my heart, and I want to ask the prince for confirmation." Therefore, they can't let the prince be killed by them, she said, "but I still haven't seen the prince."

Xiao Heng could guess that the question was related to him without asking.

He felt very uncomfortable: "Don't do such a dangerous thing again in the future."

Gu Jiao looked at him firmly: "Do you also have that doubt in your heart?"

The two of them didn't say what the specific doubts were.

Xiao Heng was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes. I came here today to find the answer."

The two were talking, but they didn't notice that the woman had stopped digging the watermelon.

Suddenly, a team of guards rushed in downstairs and stopped the performance on the stage.

Xiao Heng came to the terrace, looked down, frowned and said: "It's from Jingzhao Mansion."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and took the mask on the table.

The woman stretched out her hand, as if trying to grab his sleeve.

But in the end, she didn't use any force, and the loose and cool material slid past her fingertips.

Xiao Heng put the mask back on his face: "It's strange, why are people from Jingzhao Mansion here?"

Gu Jiao looked around and said, "Looking at them, they seem to be looking for someone. Is there any important person missing in Shengdu?"

Those who can work for the Jingzhao Mansion to come out to find them in person are not ordinary important people.

Gu Jiao said: "I'll go down and have a look, you are waiting for me here."

Her identity is more open and aboveboard, Xiao Heng's "Long Yi" is a black household, it is best not to confront the Shangguan.

Gu Jiao went downstairs.

Xiao Heng came to the terrace again, put down the roller blind on his head, and looked at the movement in the lobby through the gap of the roller blind.

Beside him, the woman was still sitting on the stool, but her aura became somewhat different.

Seems...not very happy.

Xiao Heng glanced at her, then looked away, and continued to look at Gu Jiao and the officials.

Suddenly, he felt his sleeve being tugged.

He looked down at her: "what's the matter?"

The woman gave him the dug watermelon.

Only then did he notice that the woman sat on the terrace and dug for a while, but didn't eat a single bite.

What she used was a new little gold spoon, which should have just come along.

The small watermelon balls she dug out are round and round, very regular and beautiful.

"For me?" he asked.

The woman nodded, looking at him with innocent and heavy eyes, and a trace of helplessness, like a child who is afraid of being rejected.

An indescribable feeling welled up in Xiao Heng's heart.

It was as if the heart had been ripped apart by something.
