1766 Chapter 1766 Killing two birds with one stone
Han Ruoshi looked at me with a smile: "Miss Yan, do you know what's going on?"
Seeing her smiling face, it seemed that she came to ask me this question that I shouldn't have known at first, but I'll know it after thinking about it. Pei Yuanxiu and her stayed in the Cui family these days, and in fact, it's not just these few days. Of course, the couple has discussed anything that has happened. I have always been concealed and separated. Her questioning now is just to make me understand my situation and status better.
I glanced at her and didn't say anything, but reached out to take the bowl of medicine in her hand.
She was stunned for a moment, and saw me lower my head and touch the medicine with my lips, then put it on the small table beside me, and whispered: "It's so hot, let's dry it for a while before drinking."
Her face became a little unpleasant.
Then I looked up at her and said with a smile: "How can I know what the lady and the young master are going to do? Isn't this embarrassing me?"
She coughed lightly, corrected her face, and said, "But I think Miss Yan has been in the Song family these two days. The people in the Song family should be nice to you."
I smiled and said, "It's pretty good."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw a sharp light flashing in her eyes, but it flashed away.
I remained silent.
These days she and Pei Yuanxiu were in the Cui family. Perhaps Pei Yuanxiu has been thinking about how to attack the city, and how to capture the guy under her subordinates who tend to be Cangzhou City and scattered outside. But she definitely wouldn't think of these things. As a woman and a woman around the power leader, what she had to consider was to defeat me and squeeze out those who might support me.
That is, the Song family.
I guess that if the Song family continued to send people to express their apology to her in the past two days and had good performances, Han Ruoshi would still consider changing her mind. But since that night, when she openly accused Old Lady Zhang with the Cui family, Song Huaiyi had seen through this woman's vicious thoughts. As a filial son, he would never have joined forces with people who endangered his mother's safety, so Song Huaiyi must not send an envoy these days.
Han Ruoshi would understand even more that the Song family had cut off their minds of leaving her. In addition, I have been staying in the Song family these days, so she naturally thought that the Song family would definitely bet on me and their future, or the children in my belly.
So, although the two sides have not had any contact these days, in fact, they are already in the same situation!
Although I remained silent, Han Ruoshi was not that quiet. She continued to smile and said, "I think so, the Song family should be good to Miss Yan. After all, at the banquet that day, Miss Yan spoke for them. I want to know whether Miss Yan was on a whim or did she know that they were innocent, so she spoke for them?"
My eyes also slightly stern.
Her words seemed to be no longer as simple as accusation.
After all, no one will admit that they are "on a whim", but if I want to say that I know they are innocent, then their actions tonight-
I suddenly felt a little reminiscent. She said these words, as if she was going to dig a hole for me to jump.
Thinking of this, I looked up at her, but saw her smiling, and put the plate of pickled plums on the small table beside her, then dusted her sleeves and said kindly: "Drink it when the medicine is cold. Miss Yan, don't forget the plate of plums that have been sipped by this plate, but my husband specially brought it to you."
“…thank you for the reminder.”
"Haha, Miss Yan's shrewdness and ability are famous in Xichuan. Why is it my turn to remind you of these small things? It's just empty talk."
Originally, Pei Yuanxiu heard her say these words, and naturally felt it. He seemed to be about to stop her, but when he heard her say that I was "smart and capable" and "enjoy a reputation in Xichuan", his brows furrowed.
Just now, I said that I don't want him to win.
As soon as I felt the heavy breathing of Pei Yuanxiu, the needle-like thorn in Han Ruoshi's eyes became more obvious, but just targeting me, she said softly: "So I believe that Miss Yan said those words that day would definitely not be a whim of enthusiasm, but she must be full of belief that the Song family will protect them."
“…”
"Besides, Miss Yan has been living in the Song family these days. If they really have something - strange intentions, Miss Yan will not be able to show it."
“…”
"Unless Miss Yan intends to hide it for them."
“…”
"But I think Miss Yan will definitely not do this, right?"
This woman is really working hard. I don’t know how long she has been thinking about this set of words. Even if I don’t say a word, she can still talk to me and put this set of words on my own.
I smiled and said, "Mrs. I have nothing to say."
She immediately raised her eyebrows: "It seems that Miss Yan is really speaking with the Song family?"
I laughed a little, but still didn't say anything. Instead, I reached out and picked up the medicine bowl on the small table. Half of the turbid black soup soup still smelled bitter. I took a sip and frowned.
Pei Yuanxiu kept watching quietly from the side, but at this time he couldn't help but speak: "Eat a plum."
I shook my head, frowned and stared at the remaining little medicine, and said, "It's better to drink it all in one go and save you from suffering."
After saying that, he pinched his nose and poured it down in anger.
The bitter taste exploded in my mouth, which was really uncomfortable. I put down the medicine bowl and retching a few times. Pei Yuanxiu hurried over and held my arm, carefully patting my back to help me relieve my anger: "Look at you."
While saying that, he took a plum and brought it to my mouth: "Eat quickly."
I reached out to take it and stuffed it into my mouth.
The sweet and astringent taste quickly overwhelmed the bitterness in my mouth, and mine quickly thought about the taste.
Han Ruoshi kept digging pits for me, just to connect the interests of the Song family with my survival. To put it simply, since she could write to the Cui family, it proves that the two sides had been in contact for a long time. This time, something happened to be a "traitor". As Pei Yuanxiu's wife, she must find out the truth, and the Cui family will also confess her feelings to her and tell her that she is loyal to Pei Yuanxiu.
So, of course she would believe that the traitor came from the Song family.
Therefore, the action to capture the traitor tonight was the beginning of the destruction of the Song family. She wanted to tie me and the Song family together. Originally, Pei Yuanxiu and I were not on the same mind. She knew very well that once the facts were revealed, the Song family would be dead, and I would definitely not have any good results.
It’s a good move to kill two birds with one stone, and it’s also a knife to kill people!
However, the only thing that made me feel a little uneasy was that her performance seemed to be more intense than Pei Yuanxiu when it came to arresting the traitor tonight.
Also more confident.
Otherwise, she would not have set such a clear position between me and her.
She couldn't ignore it. If the Cui family lies with her, what if the Cui family secretly acquainted with the defenders in Cangzhou City, what if the traitor found tonight was the Cui family, wouldn't she be "sent-stopped"?
If she doesn't consider these "those" things, would she really trust the Cui family so much?
But people like us cannot deliver 100% of their trust to others. We believe from beginning to end, only ourselves.
Just believe in yourself...
At this moment, a sudden flash of inspiration in my mind.
Could it be that she-
I looked up at Han Ruoshi. Her face was still full of smiles, like a spring breeze, but the spring breeze was sharp with the blade.
She wants to take action before entering the capital to get rid of the Song family that is unfavorable to her and me.
Tonight, she wants 100% sure!
Thinking of this, Song Xuan's young and energetic face flashed through my mind, and Old Lady Zhang who pretended to be crazy and stupid for so long in another garden, must be sleeping at this moment... If the matter was really exposed tonight, what would Pei Yuanxiu treat them?
I gritted my teeth and said slowly: "Mrs. I feel a little embarrassed. I am not smart, let alone famous in Xichuan. However, after staying in the Song family for so many days, they still can't escape my eyes and ears. Of course, I know very well about their affairs."
“…”
"So, I believe that the people in the Song family will definitely not have a second heart."
When Han Ruoshi saw me say this, a ecstatic smile appeared on her face, but Pei Yuanxiu subconsciously frowned and whispered: "Little...?"
I also turned to look at him and said lightly: "Young Master won't really believe that the people of the Song family will have a second heart and betray you, right?"
He was silent for a moment, and his voice was slightly hoarse, "I believe in the truth."
I raised my eyebrows slightly.
This did not surprise me. He would not simply bend to that side just like the masters of ordinary big families because of their belief in people. For them, the truth of fact is more important than the feelings. After all, the feelings will be biased, but the truth is really about interests.
So, I nodded gently: "It's reasonable."
Han Ruoshi was even more happy with the word "truth". She smiled and said, "That's right, I believe that the truth will come out tonight!"
After saying these words, Pei Yuanxiu stood up and walked towards the gate. The attendant outside the gate had been standing for a long time and had been waiting for his order. He walked to the person and ordered in a deep voice: "Send the order and attack the city!"
"yes!"
The man took the order and hurriedly ran down.
Immediately, the wind outside became noisy.
Han Ruoshi and I were sitting and standing, and the eyes of the two clashed in the cold air, almost sparking.
