Chapter 140 Lin Mengyao Conspires
After hearing Jiang Peihuan's words, Mrs. Xue's eyes showed a bit of helplessness and anger.
"It was because I knew that your eldest aunt was not the real murderer, so I punished you lightly. It's just you, how did you know?"
"The rosemary is only found in the Western Regions. Where did my aunt get this rosemary? You only need to guess."
"Huaner, you are really smart."
Hearing Jiang Peihuan's words, Mrs. Xue's eyes showed a bit of surprise, and then the expression in her eyes was full of smiles.
But when Jiang Peihuan heard this, there was a bit of coldness in her eyes, "Grandmother, if my guess is correct, the Wang family should have conspired behind this matter. Is this really the end of the matter?"
"Having learned the lesson this time, I believe that your eldest aunt will not be easily used as a gun. As for me, I have already stepped into the coffin with one foot, so I just turn a blind eye."
In terms of shrewdness, no one can compare to Mrs. Xue, but Jiang Peihuan knows that Mrs. Xue doesn't want to pursue it, but it's just because of a family and everything is going well.
Jiang Peihuan didn't say anything more.
Instead, he firmly held Mrs. Xue's hand, "With Huan'er, my grandmother will live a long life."
"good."
Hearing this, the sadness in Mrs. Xue's eyes disappeared, and a faint smile appeared instead.
This night, Jiang Peihuan didn't go back to her yard, but stayed in Mrs. Xue's yard.
When the Xue Mansion was extremely chaotic, the capital was also not peaceful.
Qing Palace.
"how?"
Looking at Pei Wu who walked in, Xiao Junhao spoke in a cold voice.
But the look in Pei Wu's eyes was very ugly. After saluting to Xiao Junhao, he said in a low voice, "My lord, Miss Jiang went to Qingzhou safe and sound."
"Is she okay?"
Hearing Pei Wu's words, Xiao Junhao didn't know whether he was disappointed or glad for a moment, only he himself knew, and he was relieved for a moment.
Pei Wu nodded before continuing, "Currently, Miss Jiang has arrived at Xue's residence, so we have no choice but to do anything else."
"Lin Xingchen actually missed?"
"Where is he now?"
Hearing this, the expression in Pei Wu's eyes became even more ugly, and when Xiao Junhao saw the expression in his eyes, he suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. Looking at Pei Wu, he said coldly, "What happened?" What's the matter?"
"My lord, Lin Xingchen has already gone to the army under King Cheng."
"What did you say?"
Xiao Junhao's eyes were full of gloom.
He knew Lin Xingchen's identity a long time ago, and the reason why he was asked to do something to Jiang Peihuan was to take advantage of Lin Xingchen so that he could use him for himself.
Xiao Junhao knew Lin Xingchen's abilities.
But now, Xiao Nanye has the upper hand in all this.
"My lord?"
At this time, a soft voice came from the door of the living room, it was Lin Mengyao. Seeing her appear, Pei Wu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although the expression in Xiao Junhao's eyes was still very ugly, the expression on his face was a bit gentle.
During this time, with the help of Lin Ruhai and Lin Mengyao, Xiao Junhao had collected the silver for the maintenance of the palace, and Emperor Qi Ming changed his attitude towards him because of this incident.
"I happened to pass by the palace, so I came to see the prince."
This is obviously an excuse, but no one will expose it.
Seeing that Xiao Junhao was silent, Lin Mengyao sat down beside him, and then said softly, "My lord, I probably know what you discussed with Guard Pei. I have a plan, and maybe I can help my lord."
"Yaoer, if you have any ideas, just say it."
After getting along with each other for this period of time, Xiao Junhao also got to know Lin Mengyao's character. Although she is gentle, she has her own ideas.
Hearing Xiao Junhao's words, Lin Mengyao said softly, "Miss Jiang is highly skilled in martial arts, and she has the secret guards left by Her Royal Highness Cheng Wang by her side, so it is very difficult to attack Miss Jiang. Get your hands on the others."
Lin Mengyao's voice was very soft, but it clearly fell into the ears of Xiao Junhao and Pei Wu. Xiao Junhao's eyes lit up when he heard these words.
Stretched out his hand to hold Lin Mengyao, Xiao Junhao smiled a little, "Yaoer, you are really smart."
"My lord was joking, I just want to relieve your worries, lord."
Lin Mengyao sat in Prince Qing's Mansion for a while and then left.
After she left, the smile on Xiao Junhao's face disappeared in an instant. He looked at Pei Wu and said in a cold voice, "Let Jiang Mei keep an eye on everyone in the Jiang family. Once there is news, please notify me immediately."
"yes."
Jiang Peihuan didn't know what happened in Kyoto.
Maybe it was because she was tired on the road before, or maybe she didn't sleep well yesterday, but Jiang Peihuan slept very well during the night she rested in the old lady's yard.
When she opened her eyes, it was already bright outside.
Jiang Peihuan didn't disturb the others, she simply tidied up and left the room.
As soon as he walked to the main hall, he heard a familiar voice.
Xiao Nanye was chatting with Mrs. Xue, when Jiang Peihuan just walked to the door, he heard a voice.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at the door.
When Xiao Nanye looked at Jiang Peihuan, she also looked at him.
When the four eyes met, there was a faint smile in the eyes of both of them.
At first, when she found out that Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye had made a marriage contract, Mrs. Xue was a little bit worried, but now, seeing the expressions of Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan getting along, she was very relieved.
Beckoning to Jiang Peihuan, Mrs. Xue said softly, "Why did you get up so early, and I specially told the maids not to disturb you."
After taking two steps forward and saluting the old lady, Jiang Peihuan stepped forward and held her hand, "I have slept a lot longer than before."
"That's good."
"King Cheng has just arrived, and I have asked Yun Gui to prepare breakfast, and His Royal Highness Tong Cheng Wang will have breakfast with me in a while."
"good."
"Old lady, breakfast is ready."
In fact, the breakfast had already been prepared, and Yun Gui was just waiting for the old lady's order. Seeing that Jiang Peihuan was getting up, she stepped forward and spoke.
Then, the three of them went to the restaurant alone.
Some side dishes have been placed on the table.
There are not many types, only five or six side dishes.
After sitting down on the chair, Mrs. Xue looked at Xiao Nanye and said, "I hope Your Highness will forgive me. Xue's food has always been simple, so I have neglected it."
"You don't have to do that, old lady. When this king is away in battle, he eats and lives with the soldiers, so he is not picky about his appetite."
Although Xiao Nanye's words are small, when talking to Mrs. Xue, he is very approachable.
