Chapter 252 The plan starts again
When Shi Jiuyue walked to the courtyard of the guest rooms, she saw the servant with Xie Jing coming out of the moon gate. She hid behind the rockery and her eyes followed the servant's departure.
Shi Jiuyue didn't walk into the courtyard until the servant's back disappeared. After she saw Xie Jing's figure clearly, she quickly exited the Moon Gate.
Thinking of the conversation between his second uncle and Xie Jing just now, his pupils rolled slightly and he turned sideways and went in another direction.
About half an hour passed.
Shi Jiuyue returned to the courtyard with snacks and tea.
At this time, Xie Jing was flipping through the books in the room and was always alert to the sounds outside. When he heard footsteps outside, he closed the book, thinking that it was the servant who had just left coming back.
Unexpectedly, the sound of the door opening was Shi Jiuyue's voice: "Uncle Xie, have you rested?"
Xie Jing opened the door and looked at Shi Jiyue, who was holding a tray in front of him. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Jiyue?"
Xie Jing's impression of Shi Jiuyue still lingers on the time when Shi Yang brought his daughter to the Xie family.
Shi Jiyue saw a hint of surprise in Xie Jing's eyes. She walked into the room and placed cakes and tea on the round pear blossom table. "Why did Uncle Xie come to Lin Garden?"
"What are you doing here?" Xie Jing stared at Shi Jiuyue cautiously.
If Shi Nian didn't know Feng Peizhi's whereabouts, how could he have dealt with the Shi family again?
Xie Jing knew exactly what the Shi family was thinking about the Xie family. He just wanted to know Feng Peizhi's whereabouts.
"I just passed by my second uncle's courtyard and saw Uncle Xie. I wanted to go up and say hello, but my mother called me away." Shi Jiuyue smiled and glanced at the cakes and tea. "Uncle Xie, please try these snacks that were just brought out from the kitchen."
Xie Jing stared at Shi Jiuyue in confusion.
Shi Jiyue laughed again: "Uncle Xie came to see my second uncle, could it be because of that Madam Feng in the prefectural government?"
When Xie Jing heard that even Shi Jiyue knew about Feng Peizhi, although he remained vigilant, he still asked, "Does Jiyue know Madam Feng?"
"Of course I know." Shi Jiuyue looked at Xie Jing's expression, thinking of the times when her father and Xie Jing used to chat and laugh together, thinking of the separation between them now, and thinking of how her father and brother had fallen to that fate and that it was all due to the Xie family, the smile on her face deepened a little: "Uncle Xie, do you want me to take you to see Madam Feng?"
"Your second uncle said he would arrange it." Xie Jing said indifferently.
Shi Jiyue said, "Uncle Xie, you don't think my second uncle really wants to help you meet Madam Feng, do you?"
"What do you mean?" Xie Jing's back stiffened and he stared at Shi Jiuyue sideways.
Shi Jiyue leaned slightly closer to Xie Jing and whispered, "Uncle Xie, do you know that my second uncle met your son-in-law before he met you?"
Xie Jing stared at Shi Jiuyue with half-closed eyes, "My son-in-law?"
"Yes, it's the young Marquis Qin from the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion." Shi Jiyue looked at Xie Jing with a half-smile: "Uncle Xie, aren't you curious about how Qin Junyi ended up in Yizhou, and how he ended up here with my second uncle?"
Shi Jiyue's smile deepened: "Uncle Xie, do you really think my second uncle is going to arrange a meeting between you and Madam Feng?"
"Jiyue, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want." Xie Jing couldn't figure out what the uncle and nephew of the Shi family were going to do. "What good will it be for the Shi family to collude with traitors?"
"How could your second uncle do such a thing?"
When Shi Jiyue heard the word "collusion", her eyes became more complicated. She smiled faintly and said, "Uncle Xie, just wait here for Second Uncle's arrangements."
As he spoke, Shi Jiuyue turned and walked out of the house, but just after he took two steps, Xie Jing's voice rang out again.
"Why are you telling me this?" Xie Jing asked in a questioning tone, "Shouldn't you be on the same page with your second uncle?"
Shi Jiyue turned around and stared at Xie Jing: "I just think that Uncle Xie is good friends with my father. Although the Xie family broke up with the Shi family a while ago, I still don't want to see Uncle Xie get into trouble in Yizhou."
As he spoke, Shi Jiyue seemed to remember something and repeated, "If Uncle Xie wants to see Madam Feng, I can take him with me. If he's worried about me, he can take Rongying with him."
Xie Jing became increasingly alert: "Is Qin Junyi really in Yizhou?"
"It's absolutely true." Shi Jiuyue said as if to guarantee.
Xie Jing's expression became more and more solemn. How could it be such a coincidence that Qin Junyi was also in this Yizhou?
Why would Qin Junyi flee to this Yizhou?
Is it true, as Rong Ying guessed, that Qin Junyi has gone to Shangguan Yan?
Shangguan Yan is in Yizhou... As early as half a year ago, the Xie family discovered the iron mine in Yizhou, and now the news seems to be just a rumor.
The government did not report the mine matter to the court.
The prefect of this county was Chu Wennan, who was Shangguan Yan's childhood friend.
Thinking of this, Xie Jing replied to Shi Jiuyue: "Can you take me to see Feng Peizhi?"
"Of course I can." Shi Jiyue saw that Xie Jing had softened a little and smiled, "Uncle Xie, you came to see my second uncle just to see Madam Feng, right?"
"Yes, I just want to see her." Xie Jing said this with indescribable tenderness and a hint of guilt.
Seeing this, Shi Jiyue said, "Then let me take you, Uncle Xie, to see Madam Feng first. After that, you can go back. Don't stay here with my second uncle any longer."
Xie Jing looked at Shi Jiuyue's expression. Although he was somewhat confused, he thought that he had watched the girl grow up. Even if she really wanted to do something to him, couldn't he handle a little girl?
"Thank you very much, Jiyue." Xie Jing really wanted to meet Feng Peizhi at this moment, and there was one more thing on his mind.
Qin Junyi's stay in Yizhou is definitely dangerous for Xie Rongying.
Even though he had a very bad relationship with Xie Rongying regarding the Feng family, he still didn't want anything to happen to his daughter.
"Can we go now?" Xie Jing was still a little cautious. "Your second uncle said Feng Peizhi is now in the prefectural government. If you take me there rashly like this, if we are discovered, wouldn't it be bad?"
"Don't worry, Uncle Xie. I have a very good relationship with Sister Qinghuan. I have been visiting her frequently recently. I have met Madam Feng but have not met Lord Chu. I will spare a quarter of an hour to meet you. Nothing will happen." Shi Jiuyue said.
Xie Jing stared at Shi Jiuyue's words with a half-believing and half-doubting look, and said, "That's fine."
Shi Jiyue's eyebrows showed a hint of joy: "Uncle Xie, please come this way."
"Wait for me." Xie Jing said, then turned around and packed his bag again.
Shi Jiuyue looked at Xie Jing's back, her eyes darkening.
After a while, Xie Jing packed up his bag and walked to the door, looking at Shi Jiuyue: "Let's go."
Standing outside the door, Shi Jiyue glanced to both sides and said, "Uncle Xie, let's leave through the side door. Come with me."
Lin Garden has two gates: the east gate and the north gate. Shi Jiuyue led the way to the north gate, which was a bit far away from the courtyard, and all the way around the small path in the garden where people usually passed by.
About a cup of tea later, Shi Jiuyue and Xie Jing left from the north gate of Lin Garden.
When the people arranged by Shi Nian discovered that Xie Jing was missing from the guest room, they immediately went to Shi Nian's courtyard.
"Second Master, Second Master." The servant ran to the study and said, "Xie Jing is missing."
Shi Nian raised his eyes and stared at the servant with a slightly gloomy expression: "Xie Jing is missing?"
If Xie Jing came and left without disturbing him, it was definitely not Xie Jing's style. The only person Shi Nian could think of was Shi Jiuyue, who had just talked to him and listened to his conversation with Xie Jing.
"Go and see if the eldest girl is in the yard." Shi Nian ordered in a deep voice.
