Concubine's true colors

Chapter 108 Open and honest (1)

Seeing Xiao Jinyu's appearance of not daring to see others, the old lady at the side felt as if bleeding was dripping from her heart.

Annoyed, she looked at the people watching all around, and when meeting her gaze, all of them lowered their heads unconsciously, not daring to talk about wrongs.

Apparently, the old lady's prestige in the capital was indeed extremely high, and after she had shocked everyone, the old lady looked at Qian Yunhong again.

"Little Lord, Jinyu is not feeling well now, and I need to trouble you to help me take her to rest. If you hadn't sent her off personally, I wouldn't be at ease."

After saying this, the old lady made a point, and glanced at the crowd again, with a calm and calm smile on her face.

It stands to reason that Qian Yunhong is not from the handsome mansion, and whoever escorts Xiao Jinyu back will not be able to see him off as a man from the outer mansion.

But the old lady would make such an arrangement, so naturally there is her meaning in it, she just wants everyone to see, even if her precious granddaughter is damaged in appearance now, she still has a man of noble status like Qian Yunhong, who protects and loves her and is someone else Incomparable.

In fact, the old lady is an old man. During the half month when Xiao Jinyu's forehead was injured, Qian Yunhong found various reasons to run to the commander's mansion. She didn't say anything, but she knew in her heart that the other party was running for Xiao Jinyu.

To be honest, the old lady is quite satisfied with the heir of the Marquis Mansion. Although the other party is Huayang's stepson, if there is a match for the Marshal's Mansion, the successor is unquestionable, so she has been silent. In private, he was observing this little lord.

But now that Xiao Jinyu's appearance is damaged, it will definitely have an impact on future marriages. The old lady doesn't say anything, but she is also in a hurry. He just wanted to take this opportunity to bring these two together, and forget about her concern.

If the old lady knew, in fact, even if she didn't make a move, her precious granddaughter would have made a move first, and she had already got together with Qian Yunhong. I don't know how the old lady feels in her heart.

The meaning contained in the old lady's words was understood by everyone present, and Qian Yunhong naturally understood it.

Immediately he was overjoyed, he quickly bowed and said: "Don't worry, old lady, I will send Jinyu to the guest room right away, and I will take care of each other, and I won't leave half a step."

Qian Yunhong was naturally very willing to be able to climb the big tree of the Xiao family, so when the old lady threw an olive branch, he caught it without hesitation, and he didn't call Xiao Jinyu Miss, and directly aroused the old lady's olive branch. The name, the appearance of his default grandson-in-law, immediately caused everyone to be stunned.

Just when Qian Yunhong supported Xiao Jinyu and got up to leave, Xiao Jinxuan, who hadn't spoken for a long time, stood up.

"Grandmother, my sister is frightened now, but the eighth princess is too scared, so I will send my sister and the princess back with the young master."

Xiangping didn't want to leave with Xiao Jinyu at first, but when he was about to speak, Xiao Jinxuan held her hand and exerted a little force. Xiangping was taken aback for a moment, but after all, he didn't say what came to his lips, and then obediently talked to a few people , and left together.

After descending the back mountain, under the guidance of Xiao Shani, Xiao Jinxuan and the others were all taken to the guest room, because it is not the time to rest, and the invited people from all the prefectures are also outside offering incense, or looking around. , so the courtyard used to receive pilgrims was very deserted, with no one in sight.

He watched Xiao Jinyu enter his guest room accompanied by Baoge, and Xiangping was led into the room by Chi Ling under Xiao Jinxuan's arrangement, and went to change his wet clothes.

In the empty courtyard for a while, only Xiao Jinxuan and Qian Yunhong were left.

There are four courtyards in Guanyinyuan, which are used to accommodate pilgrims, and the courtyard where they live is called Huaixiangyuan, which is named only because there is a hundred-year-old pagoda tree in this courtyard.

Now Xiao Jinxuan strolled under the old tree, stretched out her hand to stroke the bark on the trunk, which was full of traces of time, and stood there quietly, without moving for a long time.

At this moment, Qian Yunhong, who was originally standing in front of Xiao Jinyu's room with a protective look, looked around and saw that there was indeed no one else around. A thoughtful look flashed in his eyes, and then he walked towards Xiao Jinxuan

There were subtle footsteps behind her, Xiao Jinxuan could hear them clearly, but she didn't turn her head, she just said suddenly:
"Young Master didn't stay by the sister's window. It seems that he has something to say to Jinxuan. I'm afraid my sister will be angry when she sees you getting close to me."

Qian Yunhong looked at the cold and gentle figure with his back turned to himself. He who had always suppressed too many things in his heart suddenly felt much more at ease.

"Miss Jinxuan, what are you talking about? You are the one who made an appointment today, so just say what you want to tell me."

Qian Yunhong knew Xiao Jinxuan's attitude towards him all along, but now the other party took the initiative to go down the mountain with them, which was an abnormal thing.

Moreover, when the eighth princess showed her reluctance, Qian Yunhong also noticed that it was Xiao Jinxuan who secretly comforted the eighth princess, but after arriving at Huaixiangyuan, the other party did not accompany the princess into the house, but stayed with him. From the outside, it looked like he deliberately left a chance to be alone, and he must have something to say to him.

Hearing these words, Xiao Jinxuan finally turned around and gave Qian Yunhong a blessing with a smile.

"Young master is really smart. It seems that Jinxuan did not find the wrong person. The main reason why Jinxuan wants to talk with young master alone is to ask you if you are willing to join hands with me."

Because of these words, Qian Yunhong was stunned for a moment, and after he realized it, a mocking expression appeared on his face.

"Miss Jinxuan has overestimated herself. I don't think I need to join hands with you. Besides, you and my mother have always been at odds. My sister Yingluo's death is probably related to you. Clearly, you and my Qian family have long been in the same situation, why bother to say such stupid things, just to make people laugh."

Seeing that Qian Yunhong rejected her without even thinking about it, Xiao Jinxuan's expression remained unchanged, and there was no sign of annoyance, she just stepped forward a few steps, and suddenly approached him.

"Young Master's words just now were wrong. Qian Yingluo's death was not related to me, because she died at my hands, and the Qian family and I are not in the same situation, but will never die. If we don't If the Qian family is brought down, I, Xiao Jinxuan, will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating."

If he had heard that Xiao Jinxuan wanted to join hands with him, Qian Yunhong still felt that the other party was beyond his control, which is a fantasy.

But now, hearing Xiao Jinxuan's remarks, if the other party's expression was not normal, Qian Yunhong would have thought that Xiao Jinxuan had lost his mind, so he dared to speak so brazenly in front of him, the heir of the Marquis Mansion.

"Miss Jinxuan, I hope you pay more attention to what you say. You are just a concubine from the Xiao family from Yangzhou. Although my Qian family can't compare with the handsome mansion, I am not a person. If you say you can bring it down, you can bring it down. To bring down my Qian family is simply beyond my control."

Not caring about it, Xiao Jinxuan actually smiled lightly on Qian Yunhong's already cold face, then raised her eyebrows and looked at him.

"Young Master is right. Jinxuan is indeed a concubine, but you seem to have forgotten that you are not much more noble than me. Your biological mother was just a maid, and she didn't even have a status until she died. You are just the stepson of Princess Huayang, without this status, you are actually nothing."

The birth mother's status is humble, and she is not Huayang's parent. These two points are Qian Yunhong's injustice. Now Xiao Jinxuan has dug it out mercilessly. Immediately, he was angry, and stretched out his hand to grab Xiao Jinxuan's neck. An appearance of killing the other party.

Xiao Jinxuan was tightly strangled, she frowned beautifully, her face showed pain, but she still endured the discomfort and said calmly:
"I'm just a girl. It's easy for the young master to strangle me, but if I die, Qian Yunhong will suffer the loss. As long as you are willing to join hands with me, I can help you inherit the throne. Don't tell me, Xiaohou Grandpa is really not moved at all."

Looking at Xiao Jinxuan whose eyes were still as cold as a deep pool until now, Qian Yunhong's sanity gradually recovered. Seeing that the other party was almost strangled to death by him, Qian Yunhong hurriedly let go of his hand, and squinted at Xiao Jinxuan one time.

"Miss Jinxuan, I was originally the heir to the Hou family. Your condition does not appeal to me at all, so no matter what ideas you have, I am not interested."

Clutching her neck, Xiao Jinxuan coughed lightly for a long time, and when she finally recovered, she said slowly:
"Young Lord, what you said is really against your will. As far as I know, your stepmother, Princess Huayang, is not very close to you, and the current Marquis of Huai'an, Qian Ming, is in his prime, waiting for you It may take several decades to succeed the Marquis, this time is not too short, and what will happen is unknown, so are you so sure that the one who will inherit the throne in the future will definitely be you, Qian Yunhong."

The fear and uneasiness hidden in the deepest part of my heart were all provoked by these few short sentences, ready to move.

If we talk about Qian Yunhong's biggest dream in this life, it is to inherit the marquis and become the master of the marquis mansion in a legitimate way. Only in this way, he will completely ask for help, come from a humble background, and behave in an upright manner.

And when he succeeded the Marquis, he no longer had to be afraid of Huayang's threats. Sometimes Qian Yunhong would even think that if one day the Marquis Mansion really returned to him in power, then he would definitely torture Huayang severely. All the humiliation he suffered was settled clearly with the other party.

But as Xiao Jinxuan said, all of this can only be realized when he inherits the marquis. Before that, it is just a fantasy. To be subject to Huayang.

Taking a deep breath, Qian Yunhong looked at Xiao Jinxuan with dangerous eyes.

"You're all right, but if I join hands with you, can I secure my position? My mother has always been in charge of matters in the Hou's mansion. Can you still influence her decision?"

Seeing that Qian Yunhong's words were much looser than before, Xiao Jinxuan's eyes suddenly flashed coldly, and said in a cold tone:
"Princess Huayang hates me to the bone, how can she listen to me, but if Huayang is gone, and before she dies, the stepson recognized by her knees is only you, young master, you said that your father is inheriting As for the marquis, do you still have a choice?"
