Jin Tingjiao

Chapter 428
Although she did not interfere with her choice, she still had a marriage contract, which was out of the ordinary. At that time, not only would the two families look bad, but it would also be an irreparable loss to Chen Yan.

Thinking about it carefully, Mei Qiying still gave her face that day, and compared her heart to her heart, one should not go too far.

Afterwards, Mrs. Mei has not heard any negative words from her side, so it can be seen that he did not tell his family about the dispute with Huo Jiu.To be able to do this is to be considered a responsible man.

Shen Yan nodded and fell silent.

The Mei family chatted very happily at this small banquet.

Shen Xi and Mei Qiying also had a face-to-face meeting.

After returning to the mansion in the afternoon, Feng Qi Jiu happened to see Mrs. Mu come back.

"Recently, Han Dun seems to be a little slack with the Mu family. She plans to try to get Han Xu out of the city!"

Qi Jiu said as soon as he entered the door.

Shen Xi frowned: "Just send it out like this?"

Qi Jiu was slightly stunned: "Then what else?"

She mused and didn't speak.

She took off her cloak and sat under the window for a while, then she said: "Go and find out the situation of the Taifu's mansion now, find out the Taifu's daily routine, and come back and tell me. Don't let the people in the Taifu's mansion find out. "

Qi Jiu nodded.Then he said, "Then you are still doubting Mrs. Bi?"

Shen Xi touched the tips of his nails, nodded and said, "Yes."

She is suspicious of him.No matter how powerful Xiao Huai's reasons were, she wanted to prove it with her own eyes.

As for why Xiao Huai stopped her, she could actually guess, it was just because she didn't want her to take risks.

But if you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get tiger cubs?
After all, she is very familiar with Prince Cheng's Mansion, and now Jingzhong is no more qualified than her to verify whether Bi Shangyun is someone who has appeared in Prince Cheng's Mansion, right?

And after she checked for so long, she was sure that he would not leave the house easily, so she could only take a risk.

Taking Shen Liang to read for a while, Qi Jiu came back just before dinner.

"It's easy to inquire about the routine of work and rest. Mrs. Bi gets up every day when the cock crows, finishes playing Wuqinxi in the garden, and then eats the morning food.

"I read a book for an hour in the morning, looked at the government affairs before noon, had a meal at the beginning of the afternoon, took a break after the meal, got up before the beginning of the day, and then had tea and played the piano before Shenshi and other pastimes.

"Or to meet guests, eat dinner at the beginning of the year. Before Xuzheng, I will take a walk in the back garden to digest food, or listen to the piano and dance. Then Xuzheng will go back to the room and turn off the lights."

Shen Xi put the book down: "So, every day, he only leaves the main courtyard when he takes a walk in the morning and evening?"

"If nothing important interferes, that's it." Qi Jiu said.

Shen Xi looked at the engraving, it was almost the hour of You.

She lowered her head and thought for a while, then said, "Is the news about walking in the back garden every night accurate?"

"I got it from the mother-in-law in the mansion. It's not a confidential secret. There is no possibility of lying."

Shen Xi nodded.

"Go and watch him for a few more days, and then tell me his daily schedule, including the guests he has met."

After she finished explaining, she called Pearl again: "It will be the beginning of summer in two days, have you done everything I asked you to do?"

Pearl said: "It's all done."

Shen Xi nodded and said nothing more.

Two days later, she called Qi Jiu again and asked about the news of Bi's mansion.

Qi Jiu told her in detail, and she then said, "If you take me into the garden of Bi Mansion after dark, is it possible?"

Qi Jiu thought for a while: "If you just sneak in and see his face, it's not a big problem. But it's a bit risky, can't you think of another way?"

She thought that if she wanted to see Mrs. Bi, she could think of a roundabout but relatively safe way.

This is not to mention the majestic Grand Tutor's residence, if Bi Taifu is really the murderer behind that, then there are many masters hidden around him, wouldn't it be a real danger?
For example, she can find a chance to sneak into the mansion or something.

"I've thought about everything you said." Shen Xi stroked the rim of the cup, "Although I don't know people in Bi's residence, I believe that people in Bi's residence are no strangers to me.

"Especially if he is the one I'm looking for, he must know my appearance by heart.

"As long as I enter the mansion, do you think he won't be able to see it?

"Furthermore, how can a dignified Taifu be seen by a random outsider? If he sees through it, he won't be able to get down."

Qi Jiu said again: "Then why do you have to choose the same day as Xu Jing's grave?"

Shen Xi smiled and looked at him deeply: "I have my reasons."

Qi Jiu was taken aback.

"You don't have to worry about these, you just say whether you can take me in."

Qi Jiu ground his teeth for a long time, and finally nodded.

"That's good." Shen Xi then called Pearl again: "Tomorrow night you will wear my clothes, ride in my carriage, and go to the grave for me.

"Except for the person who went with you, don't disclose this matter to anyone else."

Qi Jiu was stunned: "Let her go?"

Pearl was also a little puzzled, but she didn't show much surprise.It's just going to pay homage to a grave, it's not a big deal.

But when she heard that she was going at night, she still said: "Generally, the graves are sacrificed at noon."

"You must go at night." Shen Xi served the tea ceremony.

Qi Jiu looked a little complicated, but didn't say anything.

Soon came the next day.

Shen Xi had his own arrangement in private here and didn't mention it, even if Xiao Huai casually asked her what she was busy with these days, she didn't put it into practice.

After dinner, after Zhu Zhen changed her clothes and boarded the car and left, she and Qi Jiu also got ready here.

When night covered the land, they and Wang'er, who had changed their costumes, arrived at the back garden wall of Taifu's mansion.

Wu Teng and the others gave the order just before departure, and all of them looked solemn when they arrived.

"What's the situation now?" She looked around and asked.

This is a small alley behind the mansion, and this side of the alley is also a residential area. The residences of the servants in Taifu's mansion are distributed in the alleys on the east and west sides, only here is quiet and no one is there.

Of course, the more deserted the place, the heavier the defense. When Shen Xi reached the base of the wall, he could already feel that the surroundings were so quiet that it was invisible and tense.

Qi Jiudao: "There is a guard post every [-] steps inside the wall, and you have to pass the guard post to enter the gate of the garden. The defense in the garden is not as important as this.

"I'll take you in. After Wu Teng and you are finished, Wang'er and his guards will stand guard under the wall."

Since he dared to bring her here, he was naturally prepared.

The guards nodded to them, and they went about their own business here.

Here, the guards of the Shen residence ran eastward for about a hundred steps, then lightly revealed their figure and jumped onto the wall, soon there were shouts of yelling from the garden, followed by someone following them.

There was another person looking for an opening on the wall and beckoning to Qi Jiu, Qi Jiu quickly carried Shen Xi across the wall, just a little above the door, and then led her to float behind the rockery in the back garden.

There was a commotion outside the wall, and there were heavy and forceful footsteps coming this way in the garden.

Qi Jiu clung to the groove of the rockery to signal Shen Xi not to move, and soon, the sound of footsteps traveled around the area, and then went away again.
