"Aunt Axiu's trip... seems to have not gone as planned?"
Su Xiuxiu's face was as usual, almost cold and indifferent. This was a habit she had developed after living in confinement for many years. In a place like that, keeping emotions and anger hidden is a basic requirement.
However, Lu Hanjiang's sudden question still made Su Xiuxiu stop in her tracks, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.
Even though they had only met each other a few times, Lu Hanjiang was still well aware that this was the subconscious dissatisfaction shown by the other party when his thoughts were revealed.
"Auntie, please forgive me, I just asked casually."
With that said, Lu Hanjiang grabbed the confused Yongle beside him. Seeing the face of the little princess, Su Xiuxiu's expression obviously improved a lot.
"I was careless and made a mistake." Su Xiuxiu said this sentence with precious words and then closed her mouth.
According to her personality, she had no habit of talking about this kind of thing to others no matter whether she won or lost. Being able to reply to Lu Hanjiang was considered to be in Meng Yuan's favor.
Otherwise, according to her style, it would be normal for her to turn around and leave. More likely, she would just kick her away like Master Yushu. This is the result of meddling in other people's business.
But Lu Hanjiang obviously doesn't know what the other person's temper is like, and even if he knew, he probably wouldn't care. After all, he has such a temperament, and I'm afraid it's too late to change it.
"The little girl has great martial arts skills. Although she is a bit stubborn, her brain is quick. It is reasonable for her to escape."
Lu Hanjiang smiled and nodded: "But if my aunt is interested, I will handle these two people in the world on my behalf. How about that?"
"No need."
Su Xiuxiu refused without hesitation. She took a deep look at Lu Hanjiang and said, "I have done my best. The woman escaped by fate. I don't owe Emei anything. This matter can end here."
"It's best to have a beginning and an end when doing things," Lu Hanjiang pretended to sigh, his eyes turning like a cunning fox, he smiled and said: "Jin Yiwei's hands and feet are quick, I'll wait for a few days and there will be good news.
"
"...I will leave for Beijing today, so I won't bother you with this matter."
Resisting the urge to slap the other person, Su Xiuxiu took Yongle aside to "whisper" after saying this.
"pity."
Lu Hanjiang shrugged. He did not inquire into the private conversations of his daughter's family. He just rummaged through the pile of letters on the desk in front of him, and then took out an unnamed letter.
"By the way, there is a letter here for my aunt." Lu Hanjiang took credit and shook the letter back and forth in his hand: "There is nothing on the envelope, but the sender followed Jin Yiwei's internal route and named him to deliver it.
To my aunt, so I guess this is probably because the old man misses me..."
Keng!
Cangran's scream was extremely harsh, accompanied by a bright sword light, and the sharp sword edge lay in front of Lu Hanjiang.
A gust of wind blew by, and suddenly there was a break in the middle of the intact envelope. Half of the letter paper fell to the ground along with the cover. The words on it were like a mess of ink that had been stirred up, all stuck together, so
I can't even see what's written on it.
"Auntie!" Yongle couldn't help but exclaimed.
In the lightning flash, as Su Xiuxiu placed her sword in front of Lu Hanjiang, more than a dozen cold lights suddenly appeared around her, and the Jinyi guards hiding in the dark aimed their crossbows at her.
Ying Wushang, who appeared quietly from behind, slowly pulled out the Xiuchun knife. Yongle was frightened and annoyed at the sight: "What are you doing! Put away all the weapons quickly!"
The princess's angry words made all the Jinyi guards hesitate a little, but no one put the guy down until Lu Hanjiang signaled Ying Wushang with his eyes. The latter put away the knife first, and then the Jinyi guards around him slowly retreated into the darkness.
The princess didn't notice anything wrong with this scene, but Su Xiuxiu did. Her eyes drooped slightly, and something flashed in her eyes.
At the same time, Lu Hanjiang showed a playful expression, he chuckled and raised his hands: "Auntie, please don't get excited. If you have any grudges with the old man, please don't involve me. You know, I am just a messenger.
"
As he said that, he was still a little aggrieved. Su Xiuxiu sneered and sheathed the sword, and then said coldly: "Really? Then please tell him that he chose his own path. There is nothing left to say between me and him."
Already."
After saying that, Su Xiuxiu turned to look at the little princess with a worried look on her face. She sighed softly, hugged Yongle's head and said some words of peace, then stopped staying and went straight to the stable to pick up a good horse.
He immediately rode away.
"aunt......"
Su Xiuxiu left in a hurry before she could even burn the incense. Yongle looked at the retreating figure with reluctance in his eyes.
Lu Hanjiang waved his hand to signal Ying Wushang to retreat. He put his arm around Yongle's shoulders and whispered, "Princess, please be at ease. After we return to the capital, you can go into the palace to see Aunt Axiu at any time."
Yongle naturally understood this truth. She was just frightened by what happened just now and was a little worried about Su Xiuxiu. She always thought that Axiu Axiu was so close to her mother and concubine, so she must have a very good relationship with her uncle.
But obviously, Yongle took this for granted. Judging from the reaction just now, the relationship between Su Xiuxiu and Meng Yuan is not good at all, and it is probably very bad.
The sorrow of parting was only momentary. Princess Yongle, who had recovered, immediately looked for the back cover. She glared at Lu Hanjiang angrily and said, "Why did you just talk like that!"
"What's wrong with me?" Lu Hanjiang said innocently: "The letter was written by the old man, and I'm just a messenger. It's not appropriate for Aunt Axiu to send it to me when she's angry, right?"
"Not this!" Yongle shook his head vigorously: "The sword has no eyes. It was so dangerous just now. What if I accidentally hurt my aunt."
Lu Han Jiangxin said, with your aunt's martial arts, even if the Jinyi guards here come together, they may not be able to do anything against them. No matter how well Ying Wushang hides it, he was so frightened that he almost lost his grip after being stared at by someone just now.
Sword, the name Jade Girl Sword is really a lie.
But of course you can't say that, so Lu Hanjiang thought for a moment and immediately said seriously: "What the princess blames is that I will go and reprimand them all immediately. How can I use knives and guns with my aunt and fine them all half a year's salary?"
Princess Yongle nodded vigorously in a serious manner, then stuck out her tongue and said: "This is not good. After all, they are worried about your safety, my consort, so they are doing their duty... It's better not to punish me."
"What the princess said is true," Lu Hanjiang nodded with a smile: "I think so too, so not only should I not be fined, but I should also be credited with a credit. The rewards and punishments are clear. She is worthy of being a princess."
Yongle felt that something was wrong for a moment, but after being praised so clearly by Lu Hanjiang, she blushed and ran away shyly, without delving into what happened next.
After Yongle left, Lu Hanjiang called Ying Wushang, and without joking, he directly credited all the brothers. After Ying Wushang thanked him, he hesitated and said: "Sir, what should I do with this letter?"
Ying Wushang had no say in this matter. After all, so far, it was not clear whether Meng Yuan was really dead or fake. He also had no idea who sent this letter, so he did not dare to speak out without permission.
"Call the person who sent the letter and tell the truth." Lu Hanjiang bent down and picked up half of the letter paper on the ground. He didn't care about this matter. He guessed that the old man had already known that this would be the result.
Otherwise, he would not be named to deliver the letter.
I am afraid that the old man had already calculated Su Xiuxiu's reaction, so he went to find him specially. With his status as the husband-in-law of Princess Yongle, Su Xiuxiu would not be so angry that he would directly hit someone... But just now
