The son-in-law is too shy

Li Qiushuang went to the study after eating breakfast, leaving Xu Huai'an in the room in a daze.

The room was silent, Xu Huai'an took out the jade pendant that Shen Mengyun gave her from his bosom, and looked at it carefully for a moment.

After a while, Xu Huai'an finally made a decision.

Xu Huaian put the jade pendant back into his arms, got up and called out: "Sister Tao'er."

Hearing the sound, Hongtao pushed the door open and entered, "What's wrong with the second young master?"

Xu Huaian said: "Follow me back to Xu's house."

"Huh?" Heart was puzzled.

Half an hour later, a carriage stopped at the gate of Xiangguo Mansion.

Heart opened the curtain of the car, Xu Huai'an came out, staring at the gate of Xu Mansion in a daze.

"My son-in-law? Why are you back today?" The boy at the door saw that it was Xu Huai'an who came, and immediately rushed over, completely opposite to the usual indifference.

"En." Xu Huai'an responded, "Did Second Aunt go out?"

"If you go back to the son-in-law, the second aunt has not gone out today, so do you need me to inform you?" The little servant smiled flatteringly.

"It's okay, I'll find it myself." Xu Huai'an declined him politely and walked into the mansion by himself.

Hong Tao followed behind her, and when she saw that she was far away, she muttered: "Who is it? In the past, everyone looked down on you, Second Young Master, but now they are rushing here to curry favor with you, it's really hateful."

Xu Huai'an laughed and said: "Sister Tao'er, why should you be angry about this, in fact, they have done nothing wrong, if my father doesn't like me, they naturally don't need to treat me well and make my father unhappy."

Hongtao curled her lips and said, "Second Young Master, you are always so kind."

Xu Huai'an smiled, without further words, the two entered Shen Mengyun's yard.

Hearing that Xu Huaian was back, Shen Mengyun hurriedly welcomed him in, looked back and forth, and was relieved to see that Xu Huaian hadn't suffered.

"I don't need anyone to tell me in advance how to come back, so mother can make preparations in advance."

Shen Mengyun pulled Xu Huai'an to sit down, quite annoyed.

"My son misses his mother, so I'll come back and have a look." Xu Huai'an replied with a gentle smile.

Shen Mengyun looked at Xu Huai'an and said: "You, next time you come back, you must tell me in advance, by the way, why didn't the princess come with you?"

Xu Huai'an said: "There have been some incidents in the rivers and lakes in the past few days, and the princess cannot leave."

"I see." Shen Mengyun nodded.

"By the way, mother, my son has something to do when he comes back this time, and I want to ask mother." Xu Huai'an said.

"What's the matter?" Shen Mengyun asked.

Xu Huai'an first signaled all the servants in the room to retreat, and when she and Shen Mengyun were the only ones in the room, they took out the jade pendant from their arms, looked at Shen Mengyun and said, "Mother, what does this thing have to do with the rumored Langxuan in Jianghu?"

Shen Mengyun trembled, then took a deep breath, pretending to be calm and said: "Why does Huai'an ask this question?"

"My son is curious." Xu Huai'an had a panoramic view of Shen Mengyun's expression, and was even more convinced that this jade belonged to Langxuan.

Shen Mengyun glanced at Xu Huai'an, looked at her clear eyes, and sighed softly: "Yes, this thing is indeed from Langxuan."

"Oh?" Xu Huai'an frowned slightly, and then asked, "Where did mother get this thing?"

Shen Mengyun sighed lightly, with sadness in his eyes.

"21 years ago, I was robbed by bandits. Fortunately, a young hero passed by at that time, and he rescued me so I survived. He said that he was from Langxuan, and those bandits immediately dared not do anything wrong. He Protect me down the mountain, and hand over Biyu to me, and bluntly said that if someone is in trouble next time, he will show it with this thing, and no one will be in trouble again. Step back, and I will keep it by my side for peace."

What she said was convincing and convincing, but Xu Huai'an noticed that her hand holding the handkerchief was unconsciously exerting force, and her knuckles were turning white.

Xu Huaian knew that Shen Mengyun must have something to hide from her, so she couldn't help but pursed her lips and asked another question instead of continuing to ask.

"Have you ever heard of Rakshamen?"

She asked casually, seemingly carelessly, but Shen Mengyun's expression changed drastically, she looked at Xu Huai'an with a pale face and said, "Why are you asking this?!"

Seeing this, Xu Huai'an knew that Shen Mengyun must know something, she said: "Langxuan was destroyed 20 years ago, what has it to do with it?"

Shen Mengyun closed her eyes and shook her head again and again. She pinched the handkerchief, as if unwilling to answer, and finally, with a pale face, she said: "Huai'an, mother doesn't know how you got this, but listen to mother's persuasion, don't talk about it again." Check it out, stop it."

Xu Huaian never thought that what she waited for was such a sentence, she couldn't help but said: "Mother, why is this?! Is it related to Langxuan?!"

Shen Mengyun shook her head, with a haggard look: "Listen to what mother said, don't check any more, I'm begging you all mother, okay?"

Xu Huai'an looked at Shen Mengyun with a puzzled face, but saw that she refused to give in at all. Xu Huai'an did not want to disobey Shen Mengyun, and finally, she gritted her teeth and uttered a word.

"Okay, I promise you."

Xu Huai'an didn't know how she got out of the Xu family, nor how she got back to the princess mansion. Her mind was in a mess, and Shen Mengyun's attitude made her confused. If she had nothing to do with Langxuan, why did Shen Mengyun stop her and just tell the matter directly? Wouldn't it be good to just tell yourself?

The more Shen Mengyun is like this, the more Xu Huai'an is curious about what happened back then, but Shen Mengyun won't let her investigate, so what should she do?

Xu Huai'an's dazed appearance naturally fell into Li Qiushuang's eyes and ears, and when her eyes and ears informed Jiang Xiuqing of this moment, and Jiang Xiuqing told Li Qiushuang, she couldn't help frowning slightly.

"Who did the son-in-law meet today?" Li Qiushuang asked.

"The son-in-law went back to the Xu family and met the second aunt of the Xu family, Mrs. Shen." Jiang Xiuqing said.

Li Qiushuang tapped the table with her index finger, lost in thought.

Ever since she knew Xu Huai'an, Li Qiushuang knew that she was very forbearing and rarely showed her pessimistic emotions on the surface. Then, what did Shen Mengyun say to her, which made her bewildered?

"Young Palace Master?" Jiang Xiuqing couldn't help calling after not seeing Li Qiushuang come back to her senses for a long time.

Li Qiushuang came back to her senses, then looked at Jiang Xiuqing and said, "What happened to the matter I asked you to investigate earlier?"

Jiang Xiuqing replied: "I have already found out that Mrs. Shen was originally the only daughter of a private school in Yangzhou. She has read poetry and books since she was a child. She met Xu Xiangguo, who used to be the prince's companion, 21 years ago. The two fell in love with each other. Then Xu Xiangguo took her back to Beijing and married her as a concubine, later Shen became pregnant, but gave birth prematurely due to shock seven months later, and gave birth to a son-in-law."

After listening, Li Qiushuang nodded and said, "I see, you go down first."

"Yes."

After Jiang Xiuqing left, Li Qiushuang fell into deep thought again.

According to what Jiang Xiuqing found out, Emperor Wen was the prince back then, and Xu Yitang accompanied the prince. He must have met Shen Mengyun, so he had the impression that he would show that expression when he saw Xu Huaian, who was somewhat similar to Shen Mengyun, but at that time Emperor Wen asked When talking about Xu Huai'an's mother, Emperor Wen of Xu Huai'an replied that he said no. It is conceivable that the person Emperor Wen knew was not Shen Mengyun but another person. So, who is it?Is that person really Shen Mengyun or someone else?In other words, Shen Mengyun's original name is not Shen Mengyun, but something else?If that's the case, Shen Mengyun's backside must be extraordinary. Being able to rewrite his life experience without finding any flaws shows that his methods are not ordinary.

So, did Emperor Wen know Shen Mengyun?

For the first time, Li Qiushuang felt that the matter was a bit tricky, since it was a big matter, involving Emperor Wen made her feel a little bit helpless.

She pinched the bridge of her nose. She was upset by too many things recently. First, the Rakshasa Gate came back and Kongtong was destroyed, and then it was Shen Mengyun's matter. known things.

At dusk, Li Qiushuang came out of the study.

"Your Highness, it's time to eat."

The waiter gave a reminder.

Hearing this, Li Qiushuang remembered that she hadn't eaten since breakfast, she nodded, but suddenly asked: "Has the son-in-law ever eaten?"

"No." The waiter replied.

Li Qiushuang's pretty eyebrows frowned, she said: "Go pass the meal, I'm going to see the son-in-law."

"Yes."

When Li Qiushuang pushed the door and entered, she saw Xu Huaian sitting at the table, frowning in a daze, holding the cold tea in her hand.

Thinking of Jiang Xiuqing's report to her, Li Qiushuang pursed her lips, stepped forward and took the cup of herbal tea from Xu Huaian's hand and put it on the table.

"The tea is cold."

The clear voice brought Xu Huai'an back to his senses, seeing Li Qiushuang standing in front of him made Xu Huai'an feel a little embarrassed.

She didn't even notice when Li Qiushuang came back.

"Your Highness... Your Highness..."

Xu Huaian was a little at a loss.

"The son-in-law seems to have something on his mind?" Li Qiushuang sat opposite Xu Huai'an, "Maybe I would like to talk to you about it."

Xu Huaian didn't say a word, she was thinking.

If Shen Mengyun doesn't let her investigate those past events, she can't disobey Shen Mengyun, but if she doesn't investigate, she will only feel that she will spend the rest of her life in a muddleheaded way, and will be a foolish ghost until she dies. She doesn't want to be that foolish ghost, but she can't To investigate, the only way is to entrust others.

Xu Huai'an glanced at Li Qiushuang, she knew that Li Qiushuang treated her well, there were few people she trusted around her, even Hong Tao didn't know many things about her after following her for so many years, only Li Qiushuang was the only one besides Shen Mengyun A person who knows her biggest secret and is willing to keep it secret for her.

It's just that this matter is of great importance, and it involves something that happened 20 years ago. Maybe it has something to do with her. Can she really trust Li Qiushuang?

Seeing her hesitant expression, Li Qiushuang knew that she must not be able to speak up about this matter, so she said, "If it's inconvenient, it's okay, I've passed on the dinner."

Xu Huai'an didn't expect Li Qiushuang to stop asking, so she couldn't help but startled, seeing Li Qiushuang's profile, she clenched her fists, and finally made up her mind.

"No, Your Highness, I do have something to ask." Xu Huaian stood up and cupped his hands.

Li Qiushuang didn't expect Xu Huai'an to be so solemn, she couldn't help saying: "Speak, what's the matter?"

Xu Huai'an took out the jade pendant from his bosom, handed it to Li Qiushuang, and said, "Your Highness, please find out where this thing came from."

Li Qiushuang only glanced at the jade pendant, then opened her eyes wide in shock.

She took the jade pendant and looked at the word "Langxuan" on it, her shock was evident.

She looked at Xu Huai'an and said, "Where did you get this thing?"

Xu Huai'an shook his head and said: "Your Highness only needs to find out its origin."

Seeing that Xu Huai'an was unwilling to speak out, Li Qiushuang didn't ask any further, but just kept the jade pendant properly, looked at Xu Huai'an with a complicated expression, and said.

"This palace knows."
