Qin Xuejian glanced in the direction of Mo Beichen and Jiang Shiyilang without leaving a trace, and walked back with a cold face.
Min Xijian followed with a smile.
Nangong Jingze instantly lost his mood to entertain guests, "Everyone, have a good meal and drink tonight. If you don't have enough wine, just tell me."
After a few perfunctory words, Nangong Jingze couldn't wait to go to the backyard.
Fortunately, there were other people coming out to entertain us, so the scene was not too lonely.
Everyone was gossiping about what happened between the two of them, secretly or openly.
"Why do I feel that the relationship between Master Nangong and Fairy Qin is unusual?"
"Tsk tsk, of course it's unusual. The two of them were recognized as a couple of gods and heroes back then."
"The current wife of Master Nangong is probably the daughter of Prince Min Nan's concubine."
…
Shen Xingwan lowered his eyes and listened to the gossip of the people around him. Among so many martial arts people, there were always one or two who knew about that past.
It's nothing more than love losing to power in the end.
Nangong Jingze chose the latter between the woman he loved and Prince Min Nan's daughter.
Shen Xingwan extracted an important piece of information from these gossips: Nangong Jingze and Nangong Xian were from the same branch of the family.
But later the two branches separated, one became a famous Minnan family and was highly regarded by the Minnan king, and the other became a martial arts family.
Shen Xingwan suddenly had an idea in his mind.
Jiang Shiyilang filled her glass, "What are you thinking about so deeply?"
Shen Xingwan raised his drink and shouted, "Trick people!"
Nangong Xian cheated her hard in Shengjing, so of course she had to cheat him back.
Until the banquet ended at midnight, Nangong Jingze did not show up.
Many people were drunk, some were going crazy, some were sleeping on the spot, and some were jumping around.
Shen Xingwan rubbed his head and said, "You guys should eat and rest first. I'll go for a walk by the lake."
Mo Beichen said, "Then be careful."
Shen Xingwan slowly walked towards the lake. The night wind was a bit cold.
She stamped her feet, breathed a sigh of relief, and stood by the lake, distracted.
Suddenly there was the sound of a piano, and Shen Xingwan raised his head and looked towards the backyard.
He decisively picked up the jade flute and started playing.
In the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Qin Xuejian's fingers paused for a while. His mind moved and he continued to play.
The ensemble of pianos and flutes is ethereal and lively in the early spring night.
After the song ended, Shen Xingwan looked for the direction of the sound of the piano, and sure enough, he was stopped at the arch.
"Sir, please stop. The back house is full of female relatives, and guests are not allowed to enter indiscriminately."
Shen Xingwan, "I'm looking for the person who played the piano just now."
The female disciple stopped him with her sword, "Master, please come back."
While they were in a stalemate, Qin Xuejian came curling up in white clothes.
The two immediately greeted each other, "Miss Qin."
Qin Xuejian frowned, "What are you doing?"
Shen Xingwan waved the Xiao in his hand and said, "Miss Qin, do you know who is playing the piano? The sound of Xiao is very harmonious with mine."
Qin Xuejian, "I played it."
Shen Xingwan's eyes lit up, "You play so well, can we play in an ensemble..."
Shen Xingwan tried to walk in as he spoke, looking like he was sorry for meeting him so late.
The two gatekeepers continued to block him.
Qin Xuejian said calmly, "Let him come in, he is my guest."
"this…"
The two hesitated for a moment, then let them go.
The female disciple said, "Should we report it to the village owner?"
The male disciple is an old man in the village. "Of course I want to go. That young man is quite handsome. If Miss Qin is fascinated by him, we will wait until it is over."
Qin Xuejian took Shen Xingwan directly to the top floor of the attic, where there were various musical instruments and pianos, including many famous pianos.
Shen Xingwan praised, "What a great gesture."
Qin Xuejian smiled and said, "This is the place where I lived for three years."
Shen Xingwan raised his eyebrows, "If you did a good job at the banquet today, you should slap the scumbag's face hard."
Qin Xuejian looked her up and down, "You look good in male disguise, you can charm a young girl."
If it weren't for the familiar Xiao Sheng, she wouldn't have recognized her.
The two sat down and talked carefully about what happened after they separated.
"How is the relationship between Nangong Jingze and Nangong Xian?"
Qin Xuejian recalled, "It seems that the reason for the split was due to disagreements, so the relationship between the two families was normal. However, after Nangong Jingze married the daughter of Prince Min Nan, the relationship between the two families eased."
Sure enough, there are only eternal interests and no eternal enemies.
Shen Xingwan told her about Qi Han.
Qin Xuejian, "So the current situation is that Nangong Jingze and the regent of Xiling are colluding secretly. He is really brave."
Shen Xingwan said calmly, "I want to kill someone with a borrowed knife. Since the ancestors of the Nangong family have such a relationship, I want to take the opportunity to unseat Nangong Xian."
Let him continue his work in Shengjing, and Shen Xingwan is going to steal the house directly.
Qin Xuejian nodded, "You can do whatever you want, I'll help you."
Shen Xingwan, "Is Chanyi here?"
"Here she is, she said she would come to Minnan with me to find some medicinal materials..."
"Bang!" The door was kicked open with force.
As soon as Shen Xingwan turned around, he met Nangong Jingze's murderous eyes.
Qin Xuejian said coldly, "What do you mean?"
Nangong Jingze stared at Shen Xingwan, "Who let you in? Get out of here."
Qin Xuejian stood up and said, "The owner of the village is so majestic. Why don't you get out together with me? I shouldn't have stayed, otherwise I wouldn't have had my door kicked in in the middle of the night."
Nangong Jingze explained in a low voice, "That's not what I meant."
"Then what do you mean?"
Nangong Jingze, "That boy from Xuejian is running for Jingze's husband and approaching you at the same time. It seems that he has uneasy intentions."
Shen Xingwan rolled his eyes, held up the jade flute in his hand and said righteously, "Miss Qin and I have musical and soul resonance. The owner of the village doesn't understand and shouldn't talk nonsense."
Nangong Jingze's face turned even more ugly, "You'd better recognize your identity for me and stay away from Xuejian."
Qin Xuejian didn't appreciate it and retorted sarcastically, "The owner of the village is the one who needs to recognize his identity. What qualifications do you have to care about my affairs?"
"If you are free this late at night, go back and accompany the owner's wife. I don't want to be accused of being a vixen again."
After all, Nangong Jingze was in the wrong. He hadn't seen Qin Xuejian for a long time, so he was holding back his anger and didn't dare to get angry, for fear that she would get angry.
Nangong Jingze glared at Shen Xingwan fiercely, "It's getting late, it's time to rest."
Shen Xingwan said knowingly, "Miss Qin, I'll take my leave now."
Qin Xuejian, "Then I'll come find you tomorrow."
He also warned Nangong Jingze, "You'd better not interfere in my affairs, otherwise we will just be strangers in the future."
Coming out of the attic, Nangong Jingze didn't do anything to Shen Xingwan. He just said with a stern expression, "You'd better not have any evil thoughts, otherwise I won't let you leave southern Fujian alive."
Shen Xingwan shrugged, she was so scared.
Chanyi didn't come to the villa with Qin Xuejian because she had to go to the mountain to find medicine.
Shen Xingwan planned to go to her first to get rid of the poison in her body so that she could handle things with peace of mind.
That night, the owner's wife had a fierce struggle with Nangong Jingze.
Qin Xuejian was involved and moved out of the villa overnight.
