Chapter 160 Twists and turns (2)

Although Wen Jisheng's guess was close to ten, but hearing Ban Xiyu tell the truth with his own ears, he still couldn't help being surprised.

"It's true, it's true!" Wen Jisheng said: "But what's going on?" He had many questions in his heart: "Since you are brothers and sisters, why did Lou Xiyue separate from her family? She is an abandoned baby ?”

Besides, there was one more thing he was eager to know.He stared fixedly at Ban Xiyu, never taking his eyes off her face: "Also, can you tell me who you are?"

Wen Jisheng's eyes hide emotions that Ban Xiyu can't read.This emotion was like a faintly burning flame in the dark. Although it was not enthusiastic, when Ban Xiyu looked at it suddenly, he felt as if he had been scalded.

She quickly avoided the other party's gaze, although she didn't understand why she wanted to hide.

Ban Xiyu calmed down and said, "You should have heard of my name. I have heard Xiyue say that you went to Huaijiang Mansion to catch a flower picker. That flower picker's target was me. .”

Wen Jisheng: "...what?" He suspected that he had heard wrong.

Ban Xiyu repeated: "I mean, I am the daughter of the Ban family in Huaijiang Mansion, Ban Xiyu."

"..." Wen Jisheng was silent for a while, and finally found his own voice, he murmured in a low voice: "So it was a coincidence that I saved you..."

What a coincidence!
There is such a coincidence in the world, Wen Jisheng thought in amazement.

Wen Jisheng was surprised and said: "It turned out that we had a connection in the Huaijiang Mansion as early as in the dark, this is really—" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly changed his tone: "Wait, so at that time , Lou Xiyue already knew about your existence?"

His mind was spinning quickly, and he quickly pieced together the ins and outs: "At that time, you discovered each other's identities and knew that Lou Xiyue was another long-lost daughter of the Ban family. But for other reasons, you decided to swap identities." ?Yes or no?"

Hearing the sound of silence, he can naturally figure out what the various reasons are.Lou Xiyue saw that Ban Xiyu was going north to the capital to marry King Xuanping, so she wanted to use her identity as a princess to track down the murderer of Xianyang's murder case.

As for Ban Xiyu, she had no intention of getting married at all.

Ban Xiyu nodded, and then told everything that happened in those few days.She said: "I thought Sister Xiyue had already died at the hands of Rong Guo Xizuo, but I didn't expect to see her again one day."

Wen Jisheng said: "I didn't expect that Lou Xiyue would have such a well-educated younger sister like you in the whole world. It's really surprising."

He then asked: "How long is the time limit for you to exchange identities like this? Are you planning not to return to Huaijiang Mansion for the rest of your life?"

Ban Xiyu shook her head and replied: "Of course not. Xiyue's plan is that we will change back when her affairs are resolved. Then we will explain the truth to King Xuanping and cancel the engagement."

Listening to this, Wen Jisheng suddenly felt uncomfortable.

"But that is a marriage contract bestowed by the emperor, how can it be changed just by changing it?" Wen Jisheng said:
"If you changed your identities, wouldn't you still face the problem of making a decision when you returned to Ban Mansion? Rather than that, it would be better to evade it and say that you had a sudden illness and died young."

Ban Xiyu: "..." This idea coincides with my grandmother's.She paused, and said: "If this matter is really so easy to do, then I would have used this method to get away in the first place."

"Then..." Wen Jisheng wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it.He also didn't understand what he wanted to express, in short, he was not very willing to see Ban Xiyu marry into the Xuanping Palace.

He had clearly seen her being free and unrestrained, as well as her bravery and strategy. He thought that with Ban Xiyu's talent, it shouldn't be buried in the closed courtyard.

"Then have you ever thought about what you should do after changing your identity?" Wen Jisheng asked tentatively: "Perhaps, making mistakes and making mistakes is a solution?"

Hearing this, Ban Xiyu frowned: "If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake? You mean, if you don't get it back? How can it work? Xiyue won't agree. She has never been restrained, so how can she stay in the capital?
"Furthermore, King Xuanping is an elegant scholar and a relative of the emperor, so it will be difficult to protect him in the future... In short, Xiyue will not want to be involved in court turmoil."

Although Ban Xiyu and Lou Xiyue had known each other for a very short time, the time they spent together was even less than a day.But she has an intuition that Lou Xiyue definitely doesn't like the daily life of intrigue.

Wen Jisheng murmured softly: "She may not like it, but she might be interested in someone in the capital. For example, the one who married her by mistake..."

Ban Xiyu was silent for a while, and only said three words: "Impossible." It is impossible for Lou Xiyue to stay in the capital for King Xuan Ping, this is simply a fantasy.

She sighed helplessly, and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Having said that, the most important thing now is to see how to deal with the matter entrusted by Jiang Du."

Wen Jisheng: "I'm going to look for two horses, walk slowly, and they will arrive in a short time."

"Okay. I still have to trouble you, thank you."

"Between friends, why do you need to say thank you? I am very happy to be able to help—" Wen Jisheng suddenly paused, and he said: "If we are like this, we should be regarded as friends, Miss Ban?"

Ban Xiyu smiled: "Of course it counts."

The two planned to return to the city after paying homage to crossing the river.They came back at just the right time, just in time for the busiest time in town.

When Ban Xiyu stepped into the lobby of the inn, there was an uproar inside, and everyone was saying that the gang of bandits in Xiaoyunzhai had been wiped out.

"It's really exciting! Oh, you guys haven't seen that scene, it's really exciting!"

"Hey, who hasn't grown eyes yet, who passed by, who didn't see the distressed appearance of the two chief thieves in Xiaoyun Village? Tsk tsk tsk! It's not enough, I heard that the people in Kejiazhai were also kidnapped La!"

"seriously?"

"Can this matter be false? Didn't you hear the rumors a while ago, saying that our county magistrate is going to do something big and vow to get rid of the bullies in Pingzhou?"

"I can testify, I can testify! The entrance of our village is close to Kejiazhai, and I did see the county magistrate of Qianyuan Town leading people there. Not long after that, there was a burst of shouting and beating on the mountain. Shouting to kill, it's been a full day of fighting!"

"Hey, this is great, our Pingzhou is going to be peaceful!"

"It's too early to say. One ground snake has been driven away, and the next one will appear again soon. Just wait and see!——"

……

A group of people chattered in the lobby, talking to you and talking to me, making the inn look like a market.

Ban Xiyu and Wen Jisheng looked at each other, thinking, it seems that the Xiaoyunzhai case has been completely resolved, and it is time for them to leave.
