MTL - The Words of the Number One-Chapter 6 undercurrent

Princess Yuzhuang is Xiang Shaoya's cousin, she was going to visit her aunt at home, and she was going to leave that day, but the old lady liked Su Cheng very much, so she forced Su Cheng not to let her go back. Su Cheng didn't want to save the old man's face, so he told Mr. Guangcheng to stay with the old lady for half a month.

After two days, it will be the Fan Kingdom's festival. As usual, grand fireworks will be set off on the bank of Yuqing Lake outside the palace, and the people in the entire Fan City can watch it. There is a viewing pavilion in the Hou Mansion, where you can enjoy flowers in spring and the moon in autumn, and it is also an excellent place to watch fireworks.

Ji Yu was invited to go to the pavilion to watch the fireworks together, and Xia Wan and I were by his side. On the way to the pavilion, I happened to meet Su Cheng and her maidservants. Su Cheng's eyes lit up when he saw Ji Yu, but his face was restrained very well, and he didn't show a very happy expression. Ji Yu just lowered her eyes and smiled and saluted, not courteous.

The two walked side by side, chatting with each other, and the content was mostly rhythms that I knew nothing about. It can be seen that after a few days of getting along, Su Cheng admired Ji Yu's music theory attainments very much, and the look he looked at him was quite different from the initial arrogance. They both had excellent looks, when the two of them whispered from the side, it was like a painting, everything in the world was reduced to the background, only this beautiful couple remained.

"Young Master Ji and the princess are really a good match." The passing servant whispered. When I heard the words, I turned my head and met Xia Wan's eyes. She obviously heard the words, and we smiled at each other.

Xia Wan is the maidservant who has followed Ji Yu for the longest time, so she should understand Ji Yu's long sleeves and good dancing skills the most.

As long as Ji Yu is willing, who will he be unsuitable for?

After boarding the pavilion, Su Teng was called by the old lady to accompany her. The old lady loved her very much and asked her to sit at the same table. Su Cheng then sat in the main seat in the middle, and Ji Yu was in the guest seat, and there was a considerable distance between them.

When the fireworks first started, Su Cheng secretly looked at Ji Yu. Ji Yu was looking up at the fireworks. The gorgeous light flickered in his eyes, and the light and shadow intertwined on his side face like a picture scroll. Every inch of his brushwork was just right. Seemingly inspired, he turned his head to meet Su Cheng's gaze, then turned his head and smiled slightly.

Su Cheng turned his head away in a little panic, and the roots of his ears turned red.

This kind of secretive and ambiguous atmosphere is the most seductive.

Ji Yu looked back with a smile, propped her elbows on the back of the chair, and rubbed her index finger and thumb lightly. He called me softly: "Ah Zhi?"

I stepped forward and replied in a low voice: "No."

He turned his eyes to look at me and asked, "Why do you keep looking at me?"

I raised my eyes and bumped into his smiling Danfeng eyes, thought for a while and said: "Because you are good-looking."

He was a little surprised, the phoenix eyes widened slightly, and at that moment a firework exploded by his ears, illuminating the air between us, illuminating his side face and eyes, and also illuminating our eyes in his eyes. reflection. When the fireworks shattered, the piercing sound was like pouring a handful of water into a boiling oil pan, and it surged enthusiastically.

Secret ambiguity is the most seductive.

"Better than fireworks?"

"Fireworks are dead, how can they be compared to living people."

This is my truth, I always knew he was good-looking.

He lowered his head and chuckled twice, leaning on the back of the chair and said slowly: "You are very straightforward. You can speak so frankly and touchingly, it shows that you don't think so in your heart."

Secret ambiguity is the most seductive, and it will be invalid if it is seen through.

Most of the sincere feelings are difficult to express, just like Su Cheng turned away in a panic and said nothing. The more touching words you can say without thinking, the less sincere you are.

He also understands this truth, so he can perform properly, and his words are touching, gentle and moving.

Ji Yu began to ask serious questions: "Is there anyone you suspect about what I told you?"

I said what I thought, and he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Interesting, but since he is someone close to Shaoya, be careful when investigating, and don't act without conclusive evidence."

"I see."

I stepped back and stood on the side, watching the fireworks in the sky, the nobles around me mingled with each other, and the common people outside the mansion looked up at each other with joy, and there was a warm and festive atmosphere everywhere. I looked at it aimlessly for a while, and then my eyes fell back on Ji Yu. He was still leaning on the back of the chair, sometimes watching the fireworks with a smile, and sometimes exchanging greetings with the nobles on both sides.

"My lord doesn't like fireworks?" I asked Xia Wan.

Xia Wan was stunned: "Why do you think so?"

She is two years older than Ji Yu, she is not considered a great beauty, but her brows and eyes are gentle, and she has dimples on her cheeks when she smiles. Among Ji Yu's maidservants, Xia Wan has the highest prestige, even the rebellious Chang Le listens to her.

"Young master seems to be avoiding fireworks a little bit." Although he disguised himself very well.

"I thought you wouldn't want to get to know Young Master." Xia Wan laughed, and she said: "Young Master is a person who has gone through the flames of war, and I don't really like fireworks and firecrackers."

I bowed my head and should be. I really don't care much about whether Ji Yu likes fireworks, I just happen to notice it.

It just so happens that I don't like fireworks either.

My biological mother passed away without a sound. At that time, it happened to be my father's birthday. He invited envoys from various countries to a grand banquet for three days, and set off fireworks for three consecutive nights. Every night I stood under the gorgeous fireworks and the enthusiastic drum music, and I didn't close my eyes for three days.

Since then I have disliked fireworks.

The next day there was a commotion in the Hou's mansion. It turned out that Mrs. Zhang lost her temper in the courtyard because she was not taken to the viewing platform, but the second lady suddenly fell into the water and was rescued ashore in a hurry. After being frightened, she developed a high fever. .

When the incident happened, Miss Er's nanny went to pick up the kite for her, and when she came back, Miss Er was struggling in the water. The second lady said that she was pushed down by someone, but she didn't see who it was. The nurse also said that when she left Second Miss, only Mrs. Zhang and her personal maid were there, and there was no one else.

The second young lady is the daughter of Princess Xiyuan, Xiang Shaoya's only prostitute, the old lady is very precious. Now all kinds of evidence point to Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang was so panicked that she swore with tears that she left before the second lady fell into the water, but no one could testify except her personal maid.

When I passed by the lobby, Mrs. Zhang was holding the old lady's hand and crying to defend herself. When she saw me from between the crowd, she stopped crying, pointed at me and said to the old lady, "I...I left Ayan This maid saw me when I was here, she can testify for me, I don't have time to go back and push Ayan."

I looked at her silently, and her maids pulled me over. Mrs. Zhang cried and put on her make-up and tried her best to put on a kind and comforting demeanor, and said to me: "You are Mr. Ji Yu's maid, aren't you? You and the old lady Tell me, just tell the truth, Shen Shi, did you see me coming out of the garden?"

I passed by the garden at that time, and I did see her angrily leading her maids out.

I looked at her eyes full of hope, pretended to be terrified and whispered: "What is Mrs. Zhang talking about? I have never seen you before."

Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, unable to maintain that kind fake face any longer, she pushed me hard and pointed at me trembling with anger: "You... why did you take advantage of others to slander me like this?"

The old lady coughed twice impatiently, and with a rare serious tone, she scolded Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang grabbed my arm so hard that it was about to bleed, but finally let go of her hand unwillingly, and stared at me resentfully.

I loosened my arms, said "excuse me" and backed away.

The second lady was still ill, so the old lady finally ordered Mrs. Zhang to be locked up and wait for the second lady to recover before making a decision. The old lady in the backyard of the Hou's mansion said one thing, no matter how much Mrs. Zhang cried, she was still locked up.

Zhang's maid came to me afterwards, with the same arrogant expression as Zhang's, she swung her hand and was about to slap me, but was stopped by Mo Xiao who was beside me at that time. Mo Xiao cast a cold glance at the servant girl, and said, "Young master Ji Yu's maid can only be touched by the young master, so what kind of thing are you?"

The servant girl bit her lip, pointed at me and said, "Why don't you tell the truth! You have hurt our little lady so much, you will have retribution!"

Before I could say anything, Mo Xiao retorted: "If you really believe in retribution, why don't you believe that what happened to your little lady is the retribution of heaven? Why did you want to stop it?"

Xia Wan had said before that Mo Xiao was the most eloquent of all the maidservants, and now it seems that she is so. She used to hate me so much, but now she will stand up for me, which surprised me a little.

The servant girl was so angry that she couldn't speak to Mo Xiao.

"Who on earth wanted you to harm our little lady! It's the Chu family, isn't it!"

Mo Xiao looked at me, I shook my head and approached the maid, looked at her apologetically and said, "Sister, I'm afraid I made a mistake, or I was distracted at the time. I really don't remember clearly, what happened when the little lady pulled me over If you're nervous, you can't even remember. I'm Mr. Ji Yu's maidservant, how can I have any reason to kill your little lady?"

I smiled, but there was nothing in my heart.

When the maid came back half-believing and half-doubting, I turned around and thanked Mo Xiao for blocking that slap for me. Mo Xiao crossed her arms and waved her hands impatiently: "Who told you to be so slow? I'm afraid she'll make you foolish with her left and right bows." After a pause, she looked at me for a while and said meaningfully: "However, You're good at acting."

"…what?"

"Your sincere and guilty look, I believe you." She turned her head and smiled: "You always have such an indifferent expression, sometimes I am really curious, will you bleed if you get a needle? It won't hurt."

Her gaze was half mocking, half curious.

I smiled and replied: "I am also a human being, so naturally it will hurt."

After parting with Mo Xiao, I went to find Zi Chen, he was a little surprised when he saw me, and asked with a smile if there was any progress and if there was anything he could help with.

I looked at him and said, "The relationship between Mrs. Chu and Lord Hou is not as good as it seems?"

Zichen raised his eyebrows, looked at me and said nothing.

It seems that Xiang Shaoya loves the Chu family, but the Chu family is a bit indifferent. Yesterday, Xiang Shaoya also brought Chu to the viewing tower instead of Zhang. Under the fireworks, the Chu family frequently looked at Xiang Shaoya. If Xiang Shaoya has changed The meaning of the head immediately looked away again. It's a pity that Xiang Shaoya didn't look at Chu family many times during the whole process.

An arrogant woman like the Chu family doesn't even disdain her children, but she shows humble feelings towards Xiang Shaoya. The Chu family likes General Xiang, but the general doesn't like the Chu family. Therefore, the Chu family is resentful and indifferent, and the general is ashamed and courteous.

Although Zichen didn't answer me, the answer was obvious.

I smiled slightly, looked into his eyes and said, "Maidservant, can I ask you to help me find someone?"
