The news of Mu Yunmeng's beheading spread quickly in the capital, because after all, Mu Yunmeng was considered a famous figure in the capital.
People who know the details of Mu Yunmeng's life experience lament the ups and downs of Mu Yunmeng's life. Those who don't know the details only remember that Mu Yunmeng went from the time when the emperor personally allowed the people to spit on him, to later he suddenly transformed into Jing Zhaoyin.
Everything seems to have just passed a short time ago, but now everything has changed. Everyone is discussing this matter, and everyone is speculating on the rumored cause of Mu Yunmeng's death.
I also heard a lot of talk about Mu Yunmeng in Prince Chu's Mansion, but in the end I just laughed it off.
Mu Yunmeng's death caused an uproar outside, but everyone around Xi Honglei was extremely calm. Like Feng Ruosong, like Zheng Siqi. The only one who was frightened by the news and opened his mouth wide was Hua'er.
This maid.
Xi Honglei thought that Feng Rusong and Zheng Siqi knew that there must be something fishy about this matter because they knew Mu Yunmeng. But their calmness still made Xi Honglei feel a little emotional. Needless to say, Feng Rusong, he was
Seniors in the world must have seen much more of the world than Xi Honglei. But Zheng Siqi was also calm, so Xi Honglei had to look at her differently.
In Xi Honglei's eyes, Zheng Siqi was just one of Mu Yunmeng's subordinates. There were a lot of people like this around Mu Yunmeng, nothing special. But it was such a Zheng Siqi who, after the incident,
But she didn't ask Xi Honglei a word. It was enough to show how confident she was in her master. When everyone spread the news of Mu Yunmeng's death, she just snorted and smiled, not saying anything at all.
Believed.
Mu Yunmeng died under Ran Yunpo's eyes, and a big stone in Ran Yunpo's heart finally fell to the ground, and he was finally able to concentrate on dealing with the loss of the key.
The whereabouts of the key could not be traced, so in order to stabilize the hearts of several ministers who knew about the matter, Shu Rumei thought of the simplest and most risky method, which was to get a few fake keys to silence them.
.
Ever since the key was lost, Shu Rumei had been sending people to keep an eye on the place where the dragon marrow jade was placed. However, in order not to attract attention, she herself could not show up, and the number of people she sent could not be too large.
Days passed, and the big day for Xi Honglei and Ran Yunpo was approaching. Xi Honglei was sent back to Xi Mansion to prepare for the wedding day. Ran Yunpo was too busy, so he asked Ran Yunhao to find time.
Come to accompany Xi Honglei. But even though he said so, Xi Honglei felt that Ran Yunhao was an informant of Ran Yunpo and was here to monitor him.
Xi Honglei had nothing to do in Xi Mansion, so he took up the idea of Xi Jiabao and Xi Hongmiao. When Xi Hongbo left the capital a few days ago, he had already been dealt with by Mu Yunmeng.
Xi Honglei could handle the remaining two losers without anyone else's intervention. But now, Xi Honglei suddenly didn't want to do anything.
"Miss, what are you looking at?" Hua'er followed Xi Honglei and looked over, but saw nothing.
"I haven't seen anything, it's just a bit boring. Hua'er, go get Hongmiao to come and talk to me." Xi Honglei stopped and said to Hua'er with a smile.
"Miss, are you right?" Hua'er looked at Xi Honglei in disbelief, "Are you sure you want to chat with Hongmiao to kill time?"
"You girl." Xi Honglei reached out helplessly and tapped Hua'er's forehead, saying, "That's right, go find her."
When Xi Hongmiao heard the news that Xi Honglei was looking for her, she immediately became afraid. In the past, she had Zhu Meiyang and Xi Hongbo as her backers, but now these two people are gone, and Xi Honglei is gone again.
With such a status, Xi Hongmiao had to be afraid. He was afraid that Xi Honglei came to him because he wanted to embarrass her and embarrass her.
Xi Jiabao went out to play, and Xi Hongmiao really couldn't catch anyone, so he had to go alone to see Xi Honglei.
Xi Honglei looked at Xi Hongmiao, who was smiling but not smiling, eating the fruit on the table carelessly, and said: "Sister, please sit down."
Xi Hongmiao sat down uneasily, her body extremely stiff. She glanced at Xi Honglei secretly, but Xi Hongmiao didn't know what she wanted to do.
"Sister, seeing that I am about to get married, only my sister and Brother Jiabao will be left in Xi Mansion in the future. I wonder, sister, what are your plans in mind?" Xi Honglei asked softly.
"Plan?" Xi Hongmiao looked at Xi Honglei in confusion, not understanding what she meant.
"That's right. Haven't Fourth Niang and Dad ever asked my sister if she has anyone she likes?"
As soon as Xi Honglei's words were asked, Xi Hongmiao was stunned. Shaking his head reflexively, Xi Hongmiao said loudly: "What did you say!"
"I'm just doing it for my sister's benefit." Xi Honglei smiled at Xi Hongmiao's annoyance, "If my sister has someone you like, you must tell Honglei, and Honglei will definitely find a way to help you."
"You, you..." Xi Hongmiao began to stutter nervously. After steadying his emotions, Xi Hongmiao asked: "Is this why you came to me?"
"Otherwise?" Xi Honglei asked, "What else do you think I would do for you, sister?"
Xi Honglei's question silenced Xi Hongmiao. Xi Honglei looked at Xi Hongmiao sitting on the chair with his head bowed and said nothing, and felt that Xi Hongmiao was a little stupid and pitiful.
Xi Hongmiao has been in Xi Mansion for so many years and has only followed Xi Hongbo and Xi Jiabao's footsteps. She does not have the arrogance and domineering capital of Xi Hongbo and Xi Jiabao, nor does she have Xi Hongli's clever mind.
To put it bluntly, she is just a chess piece that can be used and thrown away at will.
Now only Xi Jiabao, Xi Hongli and Xi Hongmiao are left in Xi Mansion. Xi Jiabao is uneducated and still hangs out all day long. Xi Hongli has been with the queen all year round, and his heart is no longer in Xi Mansion.
, and Xi Hongmiao is still a big-hearted, brainless waste who can only show off. So now Xifu can be said to have completely lost its former appearance. Xi Honglei initially wanted to take revenge on Xifu,
It can be considered more than half done.
"If my sister feels bored here, go back first." Xi Honglei suddenly spoke and said softly: "It's just that Honglei wanted to send a message to my sister at the end. That is thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. I
I think my sister should be able to understand the meaning of these words, right?"
After Xi Hongmiao lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, he nodded slowly and slowly left Xi Honglei's room. Xi Honglei watched her leave with a smile on his lips, then looked back at Hua'er and asked: "Hua'er
Son, do you still remember what I told you back then?"
"Remember." Hua'er nodded vigorously. Although Xi Honglei did not specify when he said it to her, Hua'er subconsciously felt that it was that sentence. "Miss said that those who have bullied us will be punished.
Lower your head and beg us.”
"That's right." Xi Honglei smiled slightly, "You have been with me for so long, so what I said just now was not only meant for Xi Hongmiao, but also for you. Hua'er, are you right?
I'm good, I know it in my heart. But one day, if I am no longer by your side, you must remember how we have walked along the way. If you have grudges, keep them in your heart. Don't worry about fighting to the death with your enemies, and don't be afraid of them.
There is strength in numbers. Knowing what you want to do and how you should take the next step is the most important thing."
After listening to Xi Honglei's words quietly, Hua'er began to feel uncomfortable. "Miss." Hua'er called Xi Honglei non-stop, "Don't you want Hua'er?"
"How could that happen?" Xi Honglei shook his head, soothing Hua'er's emotions. "It's just that I can't always be by your side. One day, you will also get married as a wife, right?"
When Xi Honglei finished saying this, Hua'er's face suddenly turned red. Looking at Hua'er's shy look, Xi Honglei couldn't help laughing. He drove Hua'er out of the room, and Xi Honglei took a deep breath.
He took a breath. The things in front of him have been dealt with almost, and it is time to find a way to send Hua'er away. Otherwise, Xi Honglei is afraid that he will not have time to take care of Hua'er, and if she is caught by Shu Rumei
That would be bad...
Xi Honglei was waiting for Ran Yunhao and Ran Yunchou in Xi Mansion. Seeing the two of them staring at her with half-smiling faces, Xi Honglei curled her lips and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
"It's okay, I just think Miss Xi is getting more and more beautiful recently." Ran Yunhao's ability to flatter her is increasing day by day.
"Why are you talking to the third sister-in-law?" Ran Yunchou pushed Ran Yunhao with his elbow, "Let the third brother hear you, and you will be rewarded."
Xi Honglei watched the two people joking with each other, and could only sit there helplessly, waiting for them to finish teasing her before speaking again. "Do you know when the prince has time? I
If you have anything to do, go to him."
"Third brother, I guess I can't spare any time in the past two days. What's wrong?" Ran Yunhao put back the smile on his face and looked at Xi Honglei with a serious look on his face and asked.
"It's not a big deal, it's about my maid Hua'er." Xi Honglei lowered her eyes and whispered: "This girl was sold by her family to Xi Mansion as a maid since she was a child. She has been with me for so long.
I haven't even been able to go home to see her. If she goes to the palace with me in the future, she will probably have no chance to go home. So I want her to take advantage of these few days to go home. I am also afraid that the prince will be unhappy, so I want to
Let’s talk to him first.”
"There is no need to tell Third Brother about such a trivial matter. You can just ask her to go back." Ran Yunhao immediately became happy when he heard what Xi Honglei said. "Why didn't I realize that you are such an obedient person before?"
"What can we do if we find out?" Ran Yunchou asked, squinting at Ran Yunhao.
