Chapter 281 Jiang Xue questions Pei Zhijin.
Seeing Shuang Ning showing some interest, Mu Feng asked happily, "Shuang Ning, the sun is shining brightly today, do you want to go out for a walk? There are a lot of new things on the street recently, and I guarantee you have never seen them before."
Shuang Ning's eyes were a little evasive after hearing this, and she lowered her head and said, "Forget it, I'm a little tired, so I'd better not go."
Jiang Xue listened outside with a frown on her face. It seemed that the incident involving Li Fan had cast a huge shadow on Shuang Ning.
Then he pushed open the door and walked in. When Mu Feng saw that it was Jiang Xue who came in, he asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"
Shuang Ning also stood up in surprise, "Miss."
Jiang Xue walked quickly to Shuang Ning and said softly, "Mu Feng is right. There are a lot of fashionable things out there recently. There is a Huayin Pavilion, where the rouge and powder are very beautiful. There is also Qianwei Tower, which is the hot pot I told you about before. You have never tried it. Why don't you let Mu Feng take you there today?"
"This..." Shuang Ning hesitated.
Jiang Xue knew what Shuang Ning was worried about, so she said, "Don't worry, Li Fan has returned to Xuzhou, he won't hurt you anymore. Or did Mu Feng have someone personally watch Li Fan all the way out of the capital? Don't you think so, Mu Feng?"
Jiang Xue looked at Mu Feng, who nodded immediately and said, "Yes, if he dares to come back, I will cripple one of his legs."
"No, two."
Shuang Ning looked at Mu Feng's angry behavior, lowered her head and smiled, then nodded and said, "Okay."
Jiang Xue smiled and helped Shuang Ning up, then said to Mu Feng, "Take Shuang Ning for a good stroll."
"Got it."
After the two left, Jiang Xue began to busy herself in the yard, setting up various mechanisms. She had to be on guard against Hongying coming over at all times.
After everything was arranged, it was already sunset. Jiang Xue sat in the pavilion in the yard with her hands on her hips, sweating profusely.
Looking up at the horizon, it looked like a burning cloud, with a few birds flying by. It was a rare artistic conception. Jiang Xue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and was about to stand up and go into the house.
Lin Yiyi's voice rang out, "Xue'er! Xue'er!"
Jiang Xue's forehead was covered with sweat and her brows were slightly furrowed. Just as she was about to leave the yard, Lin Yiyi ran in wearing a maid's uniform.
"Why are you here? Wasn't the message I asked Xiao Yu to convey clear enough?"
Lin Yiyi scratched Jiang Xue's nose and complained, "How could I leave you alone? Besides, Hongying hates me to the core, so how could I let you be in danger?"
"But if you do this, Jiahe..."
"Don't worry. Before leaving, He Ziyan and I went to see mother. If Princess Jiahe wasn't going to marry in the near future, it would not be convenient for us to investigate Lin Wanwan's affairs in the Marquis' Mansion. So we asked mother for consent and moved to Huaxiangju. Besides, there were things going on in the Shadow Hall that he had to deal with."
"So you left Lian'er in Huaxiangju?"
"Yes, I have already arranged everything over there. Jiahe's wedding is coming soon, so I'm afraid he won't have that much time to keep an eye on me."
"So..." Jiang Xue lowered her head slightly, as if she was unhappy.
Lin Yiyi looked down at Jiang Xue, blinked her eyes and asked, "Xue'er, are you angry?"
Jiang Xue raised her head and smiled, "I'm so happy, how can I be angry?"
"I was scared to death." Lin Yiyi said with a smile.
“Gugugugu…”
Jiang Xue: "...Are you hungry?"
Lin Yiyi pouted and said aggrievedly: "I have been running all day and haven't had a good meal. I must be hungry."
Xiao Yu came in from outside and said with a smile: "Sister is hungry, then I will go wash the vegetables and cook some food."
Lin Yiyi smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay."
When it was completely dark, because it was chilly at night, several people had their meal inside the house. The candlelight in the house was bright, and the cold wind blew in from the window, blowing up the corners of Xiao Yu's clothes.
"Xiao Yu, go close the window, I'll go get some wine." Lin Yiyi said.
Xiao Yu nodded, then stood up and closed the window. Jiang Xue came in with some freshly fried vegetables and celery beef, and Lin Yiyi also came over with some wine.
Zhu Feng walked in from outside, and Jiang Xue hurriedly called out, "Zhu Feng, hurry up, wash your hands and eat."
"Okay, miss." Zhu Feng quickly walked to the side, washed his hands, and then hurried over.
Looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table, although there are not many varieties, it looks very appetizing, "Wow, Miss is so amazing."
"Don't tell anyone even if it doesn't taste good." Jiang Xue said with a smile.
Zhu Feng sat down and said with a smile: "The dishes cooked by the young lady must be delicious." Then, as if he had thought of something, he continued: "By the way, Mu Feng took Shuang Ning to Wanhe Hall and said that they would go to Qianwei Tower to eat hot pot later."
"Shuang Ning's recovery is thanks to Mu Feng." Lin Yiyi ran over with a wine glass and said with a smile.
Xiao Yu said at the side: "Yes, during the time when Shuang Ning was injured, Mu Feng came here every day at a fixed time and place, without fail."
"Hehe..." Zhu Feng covered his mouth and laughed, "I'm afraid that boy has fallen in love with our Shuang Ning."
"You know what, it's possible." Jiang Xue sat down and said gossipingly.
Lin Yiyi filled the glasses for the four of them, then impatiently took a bite of the food and said, "They look quite a good match, but if Shuang Ning wants to let go of her grudge, I'm afraid Mu Feng will have to work hard for a while."
The four of them gathered in the house, happily eating and chatting, with bursts of laughter emanating from time to time.
Pei Zhijin appeared in the courtyard, listening to the laughter inside, standing there motionless. Xiao Yu was the first to see Pei Zhijin, and then looked at Jiang Xue and said: "Sister Xueer, Master Pei..."
Jiang Xue looked at Pei Zhijin outside the door, lowered her eyes, and said softly: "I'm full, you guys eat first." Then she stood up and walked out the door.
As soon as she went out, a gust of cold wind blew over. Jiang Xue couldn't help but hug her arms and shivered for a while, and then walked towards Pei Zhijin.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Xue asked softly.
Pei Zhijin pursed his lips, then raised his hand and held Jiang Xue's cold hand, frowning, "Why are your hands so cold?"
Feeling the warmth in Pei Zhijin's hands, she remembered how affectionate they were on their wedding night. Now it's only the second day, why does it feel a lot more distant?
Jiang Xue silently pulled her hand away and asked calmly, "Pei Zhijin, are we too anxious to get married?"
Pei Zhijin's eyes showed a hint of panic, and he asked, "What do you mean?"
"I...I don't think you're ready."
"Xue'er,...I..." Pei Zhijin wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Jiang Xue: "If you were really ready, you wouldn't have been drugged by Han Qingqing, and you wouldn't have left me and left in a hurry without saying a word when you heard that Han Qingqing was poisoned."
"When I heard that Han Qingqing was poisoned, the first thing I thought of was Brother Gu's instructions. Han Qingqing is the only person in this world who has a connection with him."
"What about me? In your heart, is your elder brother Gu the first, Han Qingqing the second, and then you will consider me?"
"No, Xue'er." Pei Zhijin frowned slightly, hugged Jiang Xue tightly with a nervous look, and said softly: "Xue'er, you have always been the most important person to me."
