Chapter 165: Clean up
The Meng family only knew that Xie Wei was Jiang Boyou's colleague and Jiang Xuening's master in the palace, but they didn't know that when Jiang Xuening returned to Beijing from the farm more than four years ago, Xie Wei was accompanying him incognito!
As early as that time, he knew these secrets of the Jiang Mansion well.
Taking into account the face of Jiang Xuehui, whom she raised since she was a child, Meng pretended that Jiang Xuening was ordered by the master to send her to live in Zhuangzi to avoid disaster. Xie Wei, who seemed to be out of reach, told the truth? Just the word "deceive the emperor" made her heart skip a beat, and her face turned pale in an instant.
Even Jiang Boyou didn't expect it.
Xie Wei was an official in the court, he behaved calmly and prudently, he was able to make no mistakes in his actions and demeanor, almost everyone was used to it, including Jiang Boyou naturally. There is even more danger hidden in the seemingly gentle words just now!
It's just that rather than panic, it's more of an accident—
Originally thought that Xie Wei was a gentleman in the palace, even though he took good care of his worthless daughter, but he thought it was just for the sake of his colleagues, he shouldn't respect sister Ning from the bottom of his heart, and treat her differently.
But right now, that doesn't seem to be the case.
At this point, if I say one more sentence, I am afraid that it will lead to an irreparable big mistake. Jiang Boyou has been an official for many years, and he knows the truth of restraint. I am also fortunate that Xie Wei's words are gentle on the surface. No matter what, there will be a step down .
So he smiled: "Ju An is right, sister Ning is just naughty, it doesn't matter."
He waved his hand to Mrs. Meng: "His Royal Highness Linzi has a noble character and has a sacred heart. He should be a good match. Sister Hui's marriage is not a bad one. The Qin Tianjian will soon set a date. There are a lot of things that need to be prepared at home, and there are thousands of threads, Madam, let's hurry up and take care of them."
Mrs. Meng was poked on the painful foot by Xie Wei's words, and scratched seven inches. Just now, she gritted her teeth and wanted to reprimand Jiang Xuening, her arrogance lost, her eyelids twitched a few times, and she turned around without saying anything more.
Jiang Xuening turned her back and didn't look back.
Jiang Xuehui looked ashamed, as if she wanted to say something, but the current scene was really not the place for her to speak, so she had to smile wryly, bowed silently to Jiang Boyou and Xie Weichen, and then retreated.
Jiang Xuening buried her head in wiping her hands with the brocade handkerchief.
Xie Wei squinted his eyes to look at her, and saw that she was wiping so hard that the back of her right hand was smeared with redness. It was clear that the stain had been wiped off, but she still didn't stop as if she was venting her anger. His face was expressionless.
He said, "Everyone has left."
Only then did Jiang Xuening stop. The originally snow-white brocade handkerchief was already wrinkled and stained in her hand, so she was embarrassed to hand it back to Xie Wei, so she kept it in her hand and said in a low voice: " Thank you, sir."
Xie Wei said: "Eldest Princess is going to get married, and she won't go to school in the palace, so she hasn't missed her homework, right?"
Jiang Xuening was startled.
These days, she was either busy promoting marriage proposals in the market, or was busy seeing Xiao Dingfei and Xiao Shu fighting fiercely, so where was the word "study" in her head?
Subconsciously raised his head to look at Xie Wei, but concealed some guilty conscience.
Although she didn't speak, Xie Wei saw her shrunken posture, she didn't have the courage to beat someone with a wooden stick before, so he knew that her time was wasted, so he said: "Proficiency in industry is more about diligence than playfulness. Although I have already returned home, I can't neglect my studies. I can't wait for me to come to your house someday and want to test your grades."
Jiang Xuening's head changed instantly.
Just now this gentleman suddenly spoke for her, which really surprised her. Although she felt that she would not be at a disadvantage, how could she not recognize the kindness of others? Just thinking about the reason, I don't think Xie Wei is particularly special to her, maybe it's his own situation that made Xie Wei think of something else, right?
What came to her mind was Xiao Shi from the previous life.
My heart was awe-inspiring for a moment.
Jiang Xuening didn't dare to disobey Xie Wei's words, she nodded honestly and said: "Mr. taught you well, the students will resume their homework today."
Her overly obedient appearance inevitably made Xie Wei feel a little depressed, and with Jiang Boyou beside him, the two of them still had business discussions, so it would be better to leave her behind to say something, so let her go first to prepare himself Exam school homework another day.
Jiang Xuening naturally took the opportunity to slip away.
It wasn't until she quickly ran through the hanging flower gate and disappeared from their sight that she slowed down, and even couldn't help but look back: Xie Wei's heart is unpredictable, and his ability to advance and retreat is really impressive. It is commendable that even a person who is so familiar with each other's insides can't help but be confused by it. Then what did the Xiao family and the royal family do to him back then, and what kind of deep hatred they forged, so that this person could tear off such a solid and reliable saint's skin and turn into a devil?
The subtle words and expressions of You Fangyin in the previous life came to Jiang Xuening's mind, which actually aroused a little curiosity in her heart.
But the moment I thought about it, I shivered.
She immediately suppressed this thought, what is really important right now is to plan how to rescue Shen Zhiyi in this dangerous situation, and it is best to limit the intersection of her life with Xie Wei to this and not to go deeper—
Prevent Shen Zhiyi from getting married, and from meeting Xie Wei?
Jiang Xuening's heart beat suddenly for a moment, stood on the spot, and slowly raised her left wrist: on the slender wrist, a light-colored scar slashed diagonally, vaguely reminiscent of blood lines slipping from the wrist startling.
A dangerous thought was suppressed.
But another more dangerous thought was completely uncontrollable, occupying her mind crazily, making her heart beat faster, and she couldn't get rid of it no matter what!
If in the previous life she used the old kindness to coerce Xie Wei to let go of Zhang Zhe when she committed suicide, then in this life, could she also use the only kindness to beg Xie Wei...
Without any warning, Shen Lang directly asked people to start investigating Xiao's Ganzhou disaster relief case, which really made the officials in charge of the court scratch their heads, because they couldn't figure out what the emperor meant. A little bit of credit and hard work, but also the loss of the Sacred Heart, attracting guilt.
Xie Wei's visit to Jiang's residence was mainly to discuss this matter with Jiang Boyou.
After the inspection of the Marquis of Yongyi, the changes in the political situation made people nervous, sometimes Jiang Boyou had to ask Xie Wei for help, because this young master was famous for his foresight and strategizing.
A conversation lasted more than half an hour.
During this period, Jiang Boyou never mentioned anything about Jiang Xuening in the corridor.
It wasn't until the end of the conversation that he was about to send people out, that he laughed and said: "Ning girl's life was really hard, but it's really difficult for parents to have such tricky things. She just came back In those two years, I wanted to discipline her strictly. She suffered a lot when she was living abroad. One was afraid that she would be sensitive, sad and unhappy, and the other was that she felt that we didn’t love her; It's too loose, I don't know if the rules are unreasonable, how can I grow up? It didn't take long for her to play with Shizi Yan, and Shizi indulged her, alas, don't mention it."
Xie Wei looked at him.
Jiang Boyou shook his head as if he wanted to shake off that bit of depression, then he looked at Xie Wei and said, "Ju An should have seen the changes in girl Ning since she came to Beijing. I can see that she has grown up. I saw that Ju An was willing to discipline her." She, she is quite well-behaved in front of Ju An, and for a moment she felt that it was me who was not a good father."
As an official in the same dynasty, who doesn't say that Xie Wei has a high character and conduct, and he is magnanimous?
So Jiang Boyou didn't think about anything else at all.
Xie Wei looked at Jiang Xuening differently, he just regarded it as a teacher-student friendship, and said: "I can trust Ju An as a person, but Ning girl, if she learns a thing or two from Ju An, she will change this stubbornness." I am relieved of my ignorance."
Naughty and ignorant?
Xie Wei recalled the girl's posture, piercing like a sharp thorn on a thorn, fragile and like a gorgeous flower on the top of a cliff, unexpectedly, after hearing Jiang Boyou's peaceful words, he felt a little dissatisfied Comfortable.
So stop.
The smile on his face was so rare that he couldn't see it. He turned to Jiang Boyou and said slowly: "Ning Er's temperament is **** the outside and soft on the inside. I'm afraid that it's better to beat her up as a child. If she eats soft, she won't take hard. But what others do to her If she is better, she will be determined. The girl's family should not be like this, and she will be abducted at every turn. She messes around when she is uncomfortable, and she is not well-educated. When she returned to the capital, Mrs. Jiang and his wife were really not disappointed by her words and deeds. Rough? The little girl has a delicate mind. Even if she doesn't listen to the words of the mouth and just looks at the eyes of others, she will inevitably be panicked and lost. She is neither stubborn nor ignorant, but you don't understand, Xie didn't notice, and hurt her gone."
Jiang Boyou was stunned, speechless.
After Xie Weiyan finished, he seemed a little depressed, he didn't say anything more, just said "Farewell", walked slowly past the newly sprouted wisteria trellis, and went out of the mansion.
His carriage was waiting at the side door.
But when he walked out the door, he saw that Jianshu was not sitting on the shaft of the chariot, but standing upright by the chariot, and when he saw him, he also had a strange expression.
Xie Wei frowned.
Before he could ask, a figure standing behind the car came out and bowed to Xie Wei: "The student has seen Mr., but I have been waiting for Mr. for a long time."
Jiang Xuening was extremely apprehensive, after waiting outside for a long time, the sudden courage was almost exhausted in the little bit of waiting, and she almost wanted to give up and run back to her room.
Fortunately, Xie Wei came out at this time.
She bit the bullet and stepped forward to salute, barely smiling, her heart beating violently like a drum.
God knows that even when she asked him to save Zhang Zhe before committing suicide in her last life, she wasn't so nervous!
Xie Wei didn't expect that she would wait for him here, so he looked at Jianshu.
Jianshu shook his head at him, indicating that he didn't know either.
His eyes turned around, and he guessed it easily. Thinking that she came to him if she knew something, his voice softened a bit: "What's the matter?"
Jiang Xuening's voice was a little trembling: "Student, student, I would like to ask you to do me a favor. Mr. has a keen insight into the world's affairs, and he must be aware of the wind and rain in the market. His Royal Highness, the princess in the palace, treats the students very well, but due to the situation Separated by her relatives, she actually wanted to go to Tatar to marry her. The barbarians drank their blood. She was just a weak woman with a special status. How could she know that she would not be harmed by the barbarians in the future? Although the student has meager strength, he might not be able to save her In water and fire. I don't know, I don't know if I can ask sir to help..."
Xie Wei frowned slightly.
While talking, Jiang Xuening was also looking at his expression. Seeing this posture, she was afraid that Xie Wei would disagree, so she immediately raised her left hand, and swore: "Just this one time will not be an example! Non-students are too powerless to ask for help One or two, it's convenient! After this matter, the student and the teacher will not owe each other, and there will be no ties between the grievances and grievances!"
owe each other nothing.
Both grievances and grievances are cleared up.
Nothing to do with it!
Does she want to draw a line with him so much?
Xie Wei stared at her, his peaceful state of mind turned into a mess as if swept by a gust of wind, his tense body contained an unspeakable anger, and he even tightly clenched the hand behind his back.
The smile disappeared from his lips.
Clouds slowly climbed over the pupils.
In her previous life, Jiang Xuening coerced him to tell the time. She was inside the hall, only hearing the word "ke" from him without any fluctuation, but she didn't know the expression of Xie Wei outside the hall. But it is expected to be peaceful and without waves, like a saint who does not touch fireworks.
But at this moment...
He stood there like an unfathomable abyss. She actually had the feeling that if she offended the other party, she would be strangled to death in the next moment, so she took a step back in horror.
There was a long silence.
Jiang Xuening dared not speak.
Xie Wei finally withdrew his gaze, and smiled peacefully, as if the raging hostility and emotion were just an illusion of others, he walked straight past her, his voice was smooth, not a single word more than in his previous life, and he just said :"good."
