Zhang You looked at Jinlu's smiling face at the moment and sighed helplessly in his heart: I thought he had improved, but it turns out he is still so easily aroused.
But she still said helplessly: "How can this be done? How can I give jade to another person? Besides, we...we are not that close yet..."
The last sentence is true.
Although it was an act, Zhang You didn't want to get involved. Admittedly, Qiao Si could do such a thing. She greatly admired Qiao Si's endurance, being able to act flawlessly in front of Li Guanghan and deceive everyone. However, Zhang You felt that her acting skills were not that good yet, and she really couldn't play such a romantic drama.
"There's no reason to take back something you've given away!" Jinlu quickly stuffed the heart-shaped buckle into his arms, moving so quickly that he was afraid she would take it back.
He smiled and retreated, hiding next to Qiuyue and the others, happily talking about helping them tidy up. Zhang You could only watch him walk away with a smile, helplessly standing there and shouting his name.
"Jinlu!"
But all he got was a sly look from Jinlu.
If Zhang You doesn't come back, the matter will be left unresolved.
They packed up for an hour and returned to Prince Han's Mansion at noon. Li Guanghan and Qiao Si were having dinner in the house. Zhang You and the others just briefly informed them at the door and did not disturb them.
After Li Guanghan came back, he seemed to have truly let go of his hatred and treated Qiao Si with meticulous care, like a most considerate husband. Even during meals today, Li Guanghan was gentle, picking up food for Qiao Si. The atmosphere between the two was so harmonious that Zhang You felt it was strange.
Zhang You and the others just took a quick look and quickly left to pack up their things.
Zhang You wanted to tell Qiao Si to be wary of Li Guanghan, but it was not possible now. The timing was not right, and she could not rashly go up and tell Qiao Si.
and.
Qiuyue secretly winked at her, meaning that there was an extra pair of eyes in the yard.
Zhang You wanted to say it, but couldn't find the opportunity.
Li Guanghan stuffed several maids into the yard, and not only that, there were also more people monitoring in secret.
Throughout the whole day, Zhang You felt uncomfortable being monitored. She was completely under their surveillance, without any freedom and extremely depressed.
With Qiao Si's martial arts skills, he naturally discovered that something was wrong.
She suppressed her emotions and shook her head slightly at Cui Liu and the others, asking them to calm down. It wasn't until the next day that Zhang You found the time to talk to Qiao Si about this matter.
This year's spring is particularly rainy. It was sunny for a few days, but then it became cloudy again.
Zhang You doesn't like rainy days here.
The rain in the capital seems to carry the unique depressing and gloomy feeling of the capital, making people almost breathless.
As the sky turned overcast, it became wet and cold. The wind blew the icy drizzle onto my body, as if a sticky snake was crawling on me. It was cold and damp, making me feel uncomfortable.
The sudden drop in temperature made Qiao Si feel a little cold, so Jingzhu took the maids who were sent there to boil ginger soup and find charcoal to help Qiao Si drive away the cold.
The rain outside the yard was getting heavier. The chaotic sound of raindrops falling on the bluestone slabs actually provided a cover for Zhang You, allowing her to whisper her concerns to Qiao Si.
God knows how many conspiracy theories ran through her head that day.
She even suspected that Li Guanghan was in cahoots with that dog prince, but when she thought about it carefully, she felt that it was not right. After thinking about it over and over again, she could not figure it out. She could only say that she suspected that there was something wrong with Li Guanghan and asked Qiao Si to be careful.
As for the matter of the jade pendant, Zhang You concealed the token of trust and simply told her the excuse she had prepared, which was the one to fool Jinlu.
Although this method was tantamount to openly revealing her love for Wei Qian, making her feel extremely embarrassed and ashamed, she had already promised Wei Qian to keep Wei Nian's secret, so she naturally wouldn't go back on her word. It was embarrassing, so what? It wasn't fake after all.
It was just that the originally obscure matter was brought to light, and the regret in Zhang You's heart seemed to be filled.
Awkward but satisfying.
Everyone will know about us, even if it is exaggerated, but it is my true heart, the courage that I kept resisting until I missed it.
After hearing this, Qiao Si laughed out loud in high spirits. After being depressed for many days, she didn't expect that Qiao Si would laugh out loud after hearing her embarrassing story.
"Princess, please stop laughing. If you continue laughing, I'll find a hole in the ground to crawl into."
"Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, this is so funny, Xia He, why are you still blushing, hahaha." Qiuyue was moved by Qiao Si's laughter, and her hearty voice sounded, teasing Zhang You.
"Okay, okay, stop laughing. If you laugh again, Xia He will run away in shame." Qiao Si barely stopped laughing and pulled Qiuyue to ask her to stop teasing Xia He.
Qiao Si laughed because she had noticed a long time ago that Jinlu treated Xia He differently. They would always have a fight every time they met. It seemed that they had a bad relationship, but every time they met, Jinlu would still get close to her and tease her.
The scenes of them bickering and playing always reminded her of herself and Wei Nian when they were young. They also fought and played like this, a pair of happy enemies...
Perhaps she saw their past in Jinlu and Xia He, so when she heard Xia He was rejected by Wei Qian and Jinlu gave her a jade pendant as a token of his love, she just felt that it was fate.
She didn't get it herself, but she always thought that the people around her could have it.
Qiao Er is like this, and so is Xia He.
only……
Li Guanghan's behavior after his return left her perplexed; she couldn't discern what he wanted. He had previously shown favor to her in exchange for the Qiao family's former power, but now, after the battle of Yanzhou, Li Guanghan had secured that military authority. Li Guanghan had now firmly established his position in the court, and logically, there was no need for him to continue his feigned devotion to her.
But he treated her very well, eating with her every day and asking if she needed anything. If it weren't for those spies in the yard, she would really think he was sincere.
Xia He's words further deepened her doubts.
Li Guanghan must have some plan.
Yao Yushu had already been settled elsewhere by Qiao Si, and she could ensure that Li Guanghan didn't know Yao Yushu was alive. Given this, his hatred for the Crown Prince and her should remain the same as before. He had the audacity to confront the Crown Prince in court, so how could he allow her to remain unharmed?
Is it a delaying tactic?
Or is it a sleight of hand?
Qiao Si couldn't figure it out, and she didn't say it out loud.
There are many eyes and ears in the courtyard right now, so she needs to be extra careful.
The rain in the capital was continuous and gloomy, so much so that the branches that should have sprouted and grown leaves were rotting on the branches due to the continuous rain.
For several days, Qiao Si just stayed in the yard and didn't go out.
Looking at the rain still falling outside, she was lost in thought, not knowing what she was thinking about.
