Chapter 334 is a little too attached!
Marquis Jingnan sat down in his chair with his tea and did not say a word.
This makes Mrs. Marquis Jingnan feel even more troubled, she said, “Surely this case is disturbing the Marquis’ heart?”
Marquis Jingnan sip tea: “No.”
Mrs. puzzled: “Then why?”
He drank the tea and sat fixedly for a moment, then slowly put the tea down, “Today Qinglian said something that makes one not feel like recalling.”
“What words?”
“He said that it doesn’t have to be an enemy to do it.”
Mrs. Marquis Jingnan paused, “What does this mean?” Although she was a woman of the inner house, she also thought that she had a lot of insight, but she really didn’t participate in this sentence. “He is saying that whoever did this, he already has a target?”
Marquis Jingnan’s eyes stared straight out of the window at the blank night color: “I think, in addition to this meaning, he has other meanings.”
“What else could it mean?”
Marquis Jingnan looked at her, “Recently, there are quite a lot of strange events in the court, haven’t you heard?”
The strange events in the dynasty are just the collapse of the Imperial Tomb’s underground palace, the Cheng family’s secret story, and then the theft of the Eldest Princess’s armor, of course Mrs. Jingnan Marquis has heard of these. But she failed to understand what these had to do with Huo Xiu. She guessed, ”Do you mean that the same person is behind these things? The person who did these things, what grudge does he have against the Huo family?”
Marquis Jingnan didn’t say anything for a long time before he said; “The person who stole the armor coat has not followed up on the matter up until now, which makes it possible that stealing the armor coat is only one of the person’s purposes, and not the ultimate one, just like the matter of the imperial tomb and the rumors about the Cheng family, which is only one of the parts of the process for him to achieve his purpose.
“Now he’s checking on Luo Zeng’s family who had trouble with the old Weiyuan Marquis, but the Luo family obviously doesn’t have this much strength, I don’t think this person will be Luo Zeng or the Luo family’s youngest child.”
“Then who will it be?”
“This is where the question lies.” Marquis Jingnan glanced at her, “In fact, there are quite a few strange things about him himself.”
Lady Marquis Jingnan was numb.
Marquis Jingnan continued to gaze into the night, “Yanping has lived in the palace for several years and has always been well, two years ago he suddenly asked for a reunion as a reason to take her to Guangxi, it’s very intriguing.”
“Isn’t it because they originally only have each other a relative?”
Marquis Jingnan did not comment, walked to the window and stood still: “But if that was really the reason, how could he be willing to take her to the poor border?”
Mrs. Marquis Jingnan was also unable to answer.
She doesn’t think it’s a question worth pondering over, but Marquis Jingnan’s worrying makes her instinctively reject it, because once he thinks this way, it means that his daughter’s marriage won’t be able to find an exit from him. To take a step back, even if Huo Xiu did have another reason for taking Yanping away, she didn’t think it represented a bad outcome, instead, her husband’s blind thinking was superfluous.
“I don’t think it’s worth looking into what he’s doing.” she said. She said.
“A woman’s opinion.” Marquis Jingnan lightly commented. And then he lifted his steps to go out, “I’ll go see how they check Luo Yi’s results?”
“Hey–”
Mrs. Marquis Jingnan wanted to call out to him, but she only saw him already striding out of the courtyard door.
Sister walked in, “Marquis has left again?”
Lady Marquis Jingnan frowned in chagrin, “This time he’s simply a little too attached to the Huo family’s affairs!”
……
Zhao Su has yet to hear back from Luo Yi’s search for someone, the time for Huo Mingyu to ask her and Cheng Zhuyun to board the door has arrived, and the two of them have arranged to meet at the marquis’ mansion before traveling to the Huo family together.
After breakfast, she had just been studying the newly drawn portrait with Yun Qianyi, when Cheng Zhuyun was led in by Xiao Ju. Zhao Su saw the lacquered box held by the maid behind her, and joked: “This is another thought to bring me food to come.”
Cheng Zhuyun took the box and sat down, “I always eat your food, so I’ll return the favor. Naturally, it is not as good as your own hands, but this basket of preserved meat is Cangzhou old shop to keep buying, usually we are difficult to go out of the city, this is not there to bring you over.”
“Thank you very much!”
Zhao Su took it and put it on the side, letting the tea on the other side.
Cheng Zhuyun looked towards the portrait on the table, “Who is this painting again?”
“I’m looking for someone.”
Zhao Su casually responded, the paper in front of her, but suddenly was Cheng Zhuyun quickly drawn over. She looked up in surprise, only to see Cheng Zhuyun’s gaze condensed on the portrait, and his eyes burst out with a sharp light.
Zhao Su suddenly straightened up, “Could it be that you know this person?”
Cheng Zhuyun shook her head: “No……”
She put the portrait down, her face still a little white.
Zhao Su and Yun Qianyi glanced at each other. How does this look like they have never met before? Obviously is to recognize there is a relationship look.
However, she could see that Cheng Zhuyun did not want to say, so frankly said: “This person is a few days ago, Master Yun met a person in the theater, twenty or thirty years of age, dressed as a merchant, at that time, a public statement made me feel a little abrupt, coupled with these two days I have some new guesses, so I want to inquire to this person is what is the history.” Here she said slowly: “If you know, but also trouble you to point the way.”
“I have never seen, nor do I know.” Cheng Zhuyun said back, her tone was too certain, and she looked a bit anxious. But then she raised her head and looked straight at Zhao Su, closing her hands, her eyes did not dodge.
She said so, Zhao Su is not good to ask again, just thought that a clue at hand, but the result is the hope is empty, slightly discouraged.
She gave the portrait back to Yun Xiangyi: “When Xiaohua comes back, let her take it back to Luo Yi. I’ll go to Wei Yuan Marquis’ residence first.”
Yun Xiangyi’s greatest hobby is to draw pictures of beautiful men in her spare time, and the face of this man that she had seen under the roof was naturally not a problem. Just that day because of time constraints, hastily painted, many details distorted, these two days she carefully recall, add perfect, this will be a new painting, according to the same impressive Zhao Ha said, is already ninety-nine percent similarity.
Luo Yi these two days with many people, special squatting in the center of the theater, within a radius of five streets, if this person is not a guest, then with this painting, will certainly let Luo Yi find.
On the way to the Huo family Cheng Zhuyun look as normal, on the way to chat with Zhao Su some family life, Zhao Su also when the previous that thing turned over the page, not long to go to the place.
Huo Mingyu with maids in the front yard to meet, a few days do not see, her face than just returned to the capital to fair and rosy some, look better.
“Is it hot to go out this trip?”
She smiled and greeted under the carriage.
Zhao Su took off her cloak: “After the fall, this sun is not hot. I still have to wear two pieces in the morning.”
“It was precisely because I saw that the weather is cooler today that I sent someone to invite you here. –Miss Luo will also be here, so it will be a while, so let’s go to the garden for tea first.”
Huo Mingyu briskly lifts her footsteps.
