Chapter 56: Outing Begins
Especially since this brother is Xiao Jinyi, who would dare to do bad things under the nose of the cold-faced and ruthless Prince Jing?
The purpose of doing this is that rumors are the most uncontrollable thing. They cannot be seen or touched, but their lethality is no weaker than swords and spears. It is better not to bear this sin if you can!
Shen Shixu's psychological activities were not only heard by Xiao Jinyi, but also by Xiao Lie and Baili Xi who were "eavesdropping" outside.
Xiao Jinyi didn't expect that someone would be bold enough to plot against the princess under the nose of the royal family. As soon as this thought came to his mind, he suddenly realized that this was not the first time. Jiang Xingbang had plotted against Jiang Bin once, and Xiao Yuanqi had been cuckolded another time. Including this time, their royal family had been plotted against three times in a short period of time!
Xiao Jinyi now really wants to go to the palace to ask his father and Xiao Yuanqi what happened during the years he was away from the capital? Allowing people to ride on their heads again and again is really too much!
Xiao Lie was also very angry and broke a potted plant at the door with a snapping sound.
Shen Shixu heard the noise and looked outside, but saw nothing. However, the shadows on the ground revealed that there were people outside, and there were two of them. The two shadows overlapped and looked very intimate.
Xiao Jinyi also saw the pair of shadows and understood who they belonged to. After understanding, he remembered that he was originally entertaining guests, but when he heard Shen Shixu coming, he just left the two people there. Suddenly, he felt a little guilty!
"Do you have other guests?" Shen Shixu looked at the two shadows on the ground and said, "If you have something to do, then I'll leave first. As for outing, we can go there tomorrow. I heard that the scenery over at Mengshan is pretty good, why don't we go there!"
Xiao Jinyi was reluctant to see him leave. It was the first time that Chen Shixu took the initiative to find him. After spending such a short time together, he really didn't want to let him go.
But he still had things to do later. He had to find Xiao Jiayi, tell her about it, and then arrange the follow-up matters.
As for the two door gods outside, they followed me and Iām afraid they have discovered my thoughts, so they also need to be dealt with.
In short, there was always something to do, and there was no time for him to keep his sweetheart.
"That's fine. I'll pick you up tomorrow and we'll go to Mount Meng together. I remember my aunt has a farm there. We can live there when the time comes."
Shen Shixu nodded and said goodbye. After he left, Xiao Lie and Baili Xi, who were hiding in the corridor at the door, came in.
Xiao Lie looked at Xiao Jinyi, not knowing what to say first. Should he talk about Xiao Jiayi first, or about Xiao Jinyi and Shen Shixu?
Before Xiao Lie could come up with a first come first served, Xiao Jinyi had already made the choice for him, "Uncle Huang, little uncle, I like Shen Shixu, the same way you like him.
But could you please keep it a secret for me? He doesn't know my feelings for him yet, and neither do my father and mother. I plan to wait until he agrees to be with me before telling them. ā
Xiao Lie wanted to persuade him, but he didn't know where to start. He was in the same position as him and had no right to talk about him.
"I'm afraid it won't be easy for your brother. You look serious. I will try to influence your father subtly and make him get used to this kind of thing. Then you and him will have an easier time."
Xiao Lie wanted to persuade him because he was worried about his royal brother. Xiao Jinyi's situation was different from his. He was rebellious in everyone's eyes, so they would not be surprised if he did such a thing.
But Xiao Jinyi is different. In the eyes of many people, he is cold, but his family members know him well. Although Xiao Jinyi is cold, he will not disobey his family. The only thing he is afraid of is that Emperor Wu An will blame this matter on Shen Shixu, thinking that he seduced Xiao Jinyi. How wronged would Shen Shixu be then?
Seeing that Xiao Lie and Baili Xi were willing to keep it a secret for him, Xiao Jinyi looked at them with gratitude, "Thank you, uncle and uncle, but I still have something I want to ask you two. I will come to visit you after I finish dealing with Jiayi's matter."
When Xiao Lie heard Xiao Jiayi's name, he began to get anxious. "Yes, the most important thing right now is Jiayi's matter. Let's hurry into the palace and tell our brother the emperor about this matter."
Xiao Jinyi held Xiao Lie, "Uncle, don't rush to find the emperor. Let's go find Jiayi first, catch the thief and take the stolen goods, and take down the people who want to plot against Jiayi, and then take them to find the emperor, so that the emperor can punish them.
Otherwise, even if we know what they say is true, we can't do anything to them if they refuse to admit it without any evidence, just relying on our empty words.
Judging from the previous experiences of eating melons, Jiayi should be outside the palace now. Ah Xu should have seen Jiayi with his own eyes, so he ate the melon from her.
Considering that Ah Xu just said that he came from a clothing store, Jiayi should have been to Jinxiu Clothing Store. I remember that Jiang Bin recommended this store to Ah Xu before.
Ah Xu had been very busy before and didn't know much about the capital city. If he wanted to buy clothes, he must go to a place he had heard of.
I'll arrange for Mo Yu and Bai He to go over there and check. Once they find Jiayi, we can use the same trick against the Li family. ā
Baili Xi was shocked to hear Xiao Jinyi say so much in one breath. Xiao Lie was the same. He reached out and patted Xiao Jinyi on the shoulder. "I haven't seen you for a few years. You have changed a lot. You have become eloquent. But you are right. Let's do as you say. Let's go find Jiayi now."
Mo Yu and Bai He went out together and quickly found Xiao Jiayi, who was with Zhou Yan.
Xiao Jinyi and the others rushed over and learned the whole story from Xiao Jiayi. After knowing what happened next, Xiao Jinyi and the others were furious, but also felt a little relieved.
Fortunately, in the original timeline, Xiao Jiayi did not suffer any loss. After Xiao Lie and Xiao Jinyi knew that Zhou Yan would become their royal daughter-in-law in the future, they were very friendly to her.
After knowing that Xiao Jiayi would marry Zhou Yueran in the future, Xiao Jinyi asked Xiao Jiayi what her plans were, whether she would marry Zhou Yueran as originally planned or choose someone else.
Xiao Jiayi was originally a little afraid of this brother, but when she saw him rush over without stopping after knowing from Shen Shixu that he was in danger, she was very moved.
I'm not as scared as before. Instead, I feel that this brother is cold-faced and soft-hearted.
Xiao Jiayi did not answer the question immediately, but dealt with other things first. She also agreed with Xiao Jinyi's idea, but Xiao Lie was still a little too close, so she simply took Baili Xi to join Xiao Jinyi and his friends on an outing the next day.
Shen Shixu looked at the two extra people with some surprise, "Who are these two?"
Xiao Jinyi just remembered that he originally wanted to introduce Shen Shixu and Bailixi, but he had never found a suitable opportunity. Now there was an opportunity in front of him.
"One of them is my uncle, and the other is my aunt."
Shen Shixu had known about Xiao Lie and Baili Xi for a long time, and seeing how well-matched they were, he actually felt a little envious.
