Concubine's true colors

Chapter 238
He knew that Zhou Xianrui and others, as well as Zhao's mother and daughter from the Shuai's mansion, and the troops from the Beijing Army camp brought by Xiao Yijun had already been waiting in front for a long time.

Although it was only a few days after falling off the cliff and leaving the capital, Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu really lived their lives after the catastrophe, feeling as if they were separated from each other.

The people who were acquainted with each other in the past are about to meet again, Zhou Xianyu immediately ordered the army behind him not to send them off, and asked Fang Maoqing to take them back to the Beijing army camp by himself.

And he accompanied Xiao Jinxuan's chariot and horses, and rushed forward alone, and met Zhou Xianrui and others in a short time.

Seeing that Zhou Xianyu came back safe and sound, Zhou Xianrui's calm face couldn't help showing a little more excitement. He stepped forward, and the two brothers raised their hands and clasped fists. Although they didn't speak, they had a deep affection for each other. But they are all beyond words.

And Xiao Jinxuan almost got out of the carriage, Zhao shi greeted her with a face of joy, and then saw her clasped her hands together, and said with great joy:
"God bless you, Jinxuan, you came back safe and sound. You don't even know how much your aunt has worried about you these days, and you would never have guessed that it was almost your side that disappeared. The old lady in the Shuai Mansion immediately welcomed your sister-in-law back. Even the right of the aunt to run the house is now in name only, and has been controlled by your grandmother again. Jinxuan, let's go back to the mansion quickly. Auntie still has a lot of things to discuss with you."

If Xiao Jinxuan was just a talented person, after hearing Zhao's previous words, she still felt a little warm in her heart, and felt that at least after her death, relatives would still show some care.

However, Mrs. Zhao has never been a scheming person, so in the last few words, she can't wait to reveal the real purpose of the other party going out of the city to meet her.

And Xiao Jinxuan had a warm heart. When she learned that Zhao was just eager to find her back to the house so that she could use her hands to deal with the old lady, the fire of longing for family affection was instantly extinguished again.

A little self-deprecating, and pushing away Mrs. Zhao and holding her hand with a trace of alienation, Xiao Jinxuan said in a cold voice, without any emotion:
"My sister's return to the mansion, the news really surprised Jinxuan, but if grandma recovers from illness, she has always been in charge of this handsome mansion. Now that the eldest aunt has stepped down as the head of the family, she can also take this opportunity to take a good rest. In my niece's eyes, this is not a bad thing. Now Jinxuan has accepted her aunt's wish to go out of the city to welcome her. However, my niece has other things to deal with, so I really can't go back home with you immediately, so Auntie, you It’s still fine.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao was immediately stunned, because according to her understanding of Xiao Jinxuan, the other party and Xiao Jinyu had a deep grudge, and they treated the old lady tit for tat.

Now, the grandparent and granddaughter, taking advantage of the time when Xiao Jinxuan fell off the cliff and disappeared, revived again. Mrs. Zhao couldn't figure out why this concubine niece was not in a hurry after hearing this. If the other party didn't make a move Dealing with the old lady, wouldn't it be true that her robbed right to be the head of the family will be lost again.

Immediately, Mrs. Zhao, who was only thinking about her own affairs, didn't see Xiao Jinxuan at all, and her expression was getting colder and colder. Instead, she grabbed the other party's sleeves, and was about to persuade her to go back home with her. , and then help her deal with the old lady.

Mrs. Zhao is not a quick-witted person, but Xiao Jinwen, who came with her, carefully noticed the alienation and indifference between Xiao Jinxuan's brows.

She also deeply felt that her mother, Xiao Jinwen, whose words and deeds were really inappropriate, immediately called her brother Xiao Yijun, and asked him to pull aside Zhao's consolation, and then gave Xiao Jinxuan apologetic blessings.

"Cousin, I'm really sorry, my mother has been really worried recently, so she didn't take into account your feelings for the rest of your life after the catastrophe, and said the abrupt words just now, I hope you can see that my mother is a straightforward person, Don't be angry, my cousin is here to make amends to my sister on behalf of my mother."

As soon as the words were finished, Xiao Jinwen, who was wearing an autumn water and moon white ribbed skirt, was dignified and quiet again, bowing her knees and giving a blessing again with an apologetic face.

Seeing Xiao Jinwen apologizing so humbly, Xiao Jinxuan quickly stepped aside and immediately returned the salute.

"Cousin sister, don't be so polite. How old are you? Jinxuan. My sisters don't need to say these outrageous things. But right now, my sister is really inconvenient. Please go back home with my aunt. Today Jinxuan will never forget the affection of my cousin for welcoming me here, and in the future my younger sister will be closer than my cousin, so please don't think my sister is bothering me."

Although Xiao Jinwen is Zhao's daughter, Xiao Jinxuan has always been one size fits all. This eldest aunt's temperament is really making her more and more tired and alienated.

But this cousin's humble and courteous character is very much in her heart, and the words of intentional friendship just now were all sincere, and she really has a good impression of this big cousin.

And let's talk about Xiao Jinwen, I have seen it before, after Xiao Jinxuan found out the tricks in the handsome mansion, she admired this little cousin who was a concubine very much, and the other party's gentle and decent attitude indeed made her give birth Feeling close, she immediately grabbed Xiao Jinxuan with a smile, and told her to walk more with her in the future.

The two cousins ​​chatted very happily, and Xiao Jinwen was also very quick-witted, and guessed in her heart that if Xiao Jinxuan didn't go back directly to the house, the matter that Xiao Jinxuan had to deal with must have something to do with the other party's falling off the cliff.

Immediately after Xiao Jinwen instructed a few more words, telling Xiao Jinxuan to be careful, she forcibly dragged Mrs. Zhao who was still thinking about something, got into the carriage and went back to the commander's mansion alone.

And when the chariots and horses of the commander's mansion left, Shen Wenqing, who stood aside with tears in her eyes for a long time, immediately walked over quickly, grabbed Xiao Jinxuan's hand, and her tears couldn't stop streaming out.

"Jinxuan, you scared me to death. My sister thought I would never see you again in this life. Then Gu Qingge is really hateful. How could a daughter of an official family have such vicious thoughts? Now you have come back safe and sound. That's good, the prince and I can relax, these days are really hard for you."

Shen Wenqing's temperament is actually rather cold, ordinary people seldom catch her eyes, just like an autumn chrysanthemum, there is a little aloofness in her coldness, she seldom walks with other princesses.

But it happened that Xiao Jinxuan got her favor, and it was not without reason, because although Shen Wenqing was cold-tempered, she admired Zhou Xianrui, a husband, and even gave her everything for him.

Therefore, if Xiao Jinxuan moved her, it was the relationship between the other party and Zhou Xianyu.

Witnessing with her own eyes how Xiao Jinxuan, at the celebration banquet that day, did not hesitate to bear all the sorrows and sufferings by herself in order to protect Zhou Xianyu, pity quietly arose in her heart at that time.

Seeing that Shen Wenqing's eyes were red from crying, and Xiao Jinxuan, who had been chilled by Zhao's attitude just now, couldn't help but be a little moved. At least no matter how cold her relatives were towards her, there were still others who really cared about her.

Immediately helping Shen Wenqing wipe away tears, Xiao Jinxuan smiled lightly and took the other's wrist, then said softly:

"Sister Shen, I'm back, don't worry, there won't be such an accident next time, Jinxuan is really sorry to make you worry about me."

In fact, Shen Wenqing was crying with joy now, and now being comforted by Xiao Jinxuan, she immediately stopped her tears and said with a small smile:

"I am a woman in the back house, and I am worried about where I can work. However, the prince has been working very hard these days in order to find you. The Holy Majesty also fell ill in a hurry because of the disappearance of the emperor. The prince will take care of it in the previous court." After returning to the mansion, I went through letters sent from all over the place, hoping to find your whereabouts, seeing the prince tired and directly sleeping on the desk several times, I was really worried."

Hearing this, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help but looked at Zhou Xianrui, and it happened that the other party was also looking at her from afar.

Looking at Zhou Xianrui's emaciated stalwart figure and the unconcealable fatigue in those eyes, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help walking towards him apologetically.

Before and after approaching, Xiao Jinxuan bowed her knees and gave a blessing, then raised her head to look at Zhou Xianyu, and said in a grateful voice:
"This time, thanks to His Highness, he dispatched the troops from the Beijing military camp to follow the black armored guards to rescue us. Otherwise, Jinxuan might not have the chance to return to Changping in the capital. Speaking of which, this is no longer His Highness's number one." You saved me for the first time, and I am afraid that I will not be able to repay the kindness I owe you in this lifetime."

Hearing this, Zhou Xianrui did not speak immediately, but stared at Xiao Jinxuan for a long time with a pair of eyes as silent as ice, with a hint of nostalgia faintly.

In fact, no one knows how grateful and excited he is in his heart. Seeing Xiao Jinxuan standing in front of him again safe and sound, talking to him with a gentle smile, Zhou Xianrui really feels that all the hard work he has put in before is worth it. To protect the other party, even if he died of exhaustion in front of the desk, he was willing.

Seeing that Zhou Xianrui hadn't spoken for a long time, Xiao Jinxuan couldn't help showing a bit of doubt.

And Zhou Xianrui has always been able to control his emotions freely, and now Xiao Jinxuan and Zhou Xianyu can be regarded as the best of all hardships, he doesn't want his own slight affection to become a trouble that hinders the two of them.

Therefore, he immediately took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed all the words of concern and tension, and then pretended to be calm, and asked in a concentrated voice:
"Since Miss Si has returned safely and she has not returned home with Mrs. Xiao just now, if she wants to stay with you, she must go to see Qing Ge. She has been imprisoned by me in the sky prison now. You can do so at any time." Go and meet her."

Zhou Xianrui has always been the one who knows Xiao Jinxuan the best, even Zhou Xianyu can't compare in this regard.

Therefore, even if Xiao Jinxuan hadn't said anything, Zhou Xianrui had already seen through her thoughts, and immediately made arrangements.

When Xiao Jinxuan heard the words, she nodded immediately. Gu Qingge caused her to fall off a cliff and almost died, and Zhou Xianyu was also implicated.

In the past, Gu Nian was infatuated with the other party, and Xiao Jinxuan had tolerated her death for love in her previous life, but now it is obviously time to end all this, and this time she does not intend to spare Lu Qingge's life, the other party Since he dared to harm her, he must pay the price for it.
