Chapter 22 The Fish Bite the Hook

With a cold look on his face, Mu Si crossed the long desk and sat opposite Pei Shu.

"My wife is so kind and generous, and Mu is so grateful that I dare not accept it. However, I am a stranger in the world, and I have a blood feud. I am walking on thin ice in this imperial capital and do not do business with others. I am afraid that my wife will be disappointed."

Pei Shu said: "You have the ambition to reach the clouds, but a single tree cannot make a forest. If you achieve great things, be careful alone. I may not be able to help you in the future."

Mu Si curled his lips indifferently: "It is not difficult to deduce from your unknown bodyguard that the British government is only a deep pool of water. The female monarch has little power and cannot protect herself, so how can she help others."

He bluntly pointed out Pei Shu's current predicament. Pei Shu was not annoyed at all and was very calm.

"Being weak for a while does not mean being weak for the rest of your life. It all depends on people."

Mu Si shook his head: "I don't think so."

It is not easy for a female queen who has a false reputation and has been ignored to make a comeback.

Pei Shu raised the banner without changing her expression: "For now, I am a little weak and my abilities are not satisfactory, but I am lucky. Isn't there a teacher who is famous all over the world and can influence the government?" What?"

Hearing the first half of the sentence, he scolded with a dull face, "You can do it. You can't go through a man's window in the middle of the night. It's not satisfactory."

"One of the reasons why you can't touch me is because you are afraid of your respected master." She smiled at him with her teeth exposed, smiling arrogantly.

I owe it to my son.

Mu Si: "..." I just want to hit someone.

"I'm good at using a fox to take advantage of a tiger's power." Pei Shu flashed a pair of fox eyes, and looked into his dark and deep eyes, as if to say that she was right to bet on me: "Do you want to bet once?"

This witch is so good at deceiving people!

Everyone has a gambler's mentality.

His heart moved shamefully: "Tell me, what do you want me to do for you?"

Pei Shu suppressed the raised corners of her mouth: "That's it..."

The sky is getting brighter and the rain is getting lighter.

Under the wall, the sparrows were like ants on a hot pot, pacing back and forth: "It's already dawn, why doesn't the girl come out?"

Wearing a black hooded cloak, Yunlu put his hands in the armholes and leaned against the wall steadily: "Don't be impatient, the girl has her own plans."

Yunque stomped her feet dissatisfied: "Sister Yunlu, you don't have anything to say back to me? You've been perfunctory with me seven or eight times with the same sentence."

Can you change the word? Haolai has been reading poetry and books with the girl in the mountains for many years, but the language is so lacking?

Old God Yunlu was here: "You asked me the exact same question seven or eight times first."

Before Yun Que could say anything, he suddenly heard a noise on the wall. The two of them quickly stopped talking and caught Pei Shu who had climbed over the wall.

The master and servant turned around a street and got into a carriage.

The morning light was dim, and on the wide and empty streets, carriages were driving towards the mansion.

In the carriage, Pei Shu changed into dry clothes. Yunlu picked up a towel and carefully wrung out the moisture from her hair.

"Nu Jun, why don't you ask Man Niang to send two people to do it? It will also be more convenient for walking outside."

Yunlu couldn't see the change in Pei Shu these days. The girl was worried about the people left behind by the Duke of Guo.

Thinking about how noble a girl's status is, it is so difficult for her to go through a wall in person and meet with foreign men at night. No one will believe her even if she says it, Yun Lu feels sour in her heart.

Pei Shu's eyebrows were gentle: "This is not the time."

"Female..." Yun Lu felt a lump in her throat.

Hearing the slight choking in her voice, Pei Shu turned around and squeezed her hand: "It's okay, I can still handle it."

"I want to give it a squeeze too." Yunque squeezed in between the two of them, not wanting to be left alone, her thoughts clearly written on her face.

Pei Shu couldn't help but laugh, stretched out her hand and pinched her cheek twice: "Are you satisfied?"

"It's okay, girl, please don't just take care of sister Yunlu. I also need girl to love me." Yunque raised her head and gave Yunlu a stern look.

This girl forgot about her dignity and inferiority when she got carried away. It was rare that Yunlu didn't correct her.

With her sarcasm, most of Yun Lu's worries disappeared.

Yingdong Street, Xie's residence.

Qing Yan quietly entered the study room, summarizing the news from all parties at hand and sharing it with his master.

The person opposite him lowered his eyes, immersed himself in reading the files, and did not look at him.

Today, Xie Xian was taking a rest. Behind the desk, he only wore a simple casual clothes with a wide robe and large sleeves. His head was tied with a green jade hairpin, and he had no other accessories on his body.

It wasn't until the content of Qing Yan's report related to Cainan Courtyard that Xie Xiancai raised his head despite his busy schedule, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"You sneaked into Cainan Courtyard in the rain at Yinshi and came out at Mao?"

His hand with extremely beautiful bones gently moved downwards, pressing the little finger bone against the corner of the open file, and his movements were naturally elegant.

Among the vast amounts of information, the master became interested in the fact that the queen of the Pei family visited the Xianggu Pavilion late at night. Qingyan couldn't help but be surprised. However, he has never been a talkative person. Whatever the master cares about, he should report it in detail,

"No, after staying for a full hour, the general came out over the wall in the direction of Wutou Lane in the east corner."

"Climb over the wall?" Xie Xian was surprised.

The dignified and elegant lady climbed the wall of the entertainment hall on a stormy night. He didn't know how many surprises she had hidden?!

Qing Yan said: "That's right. I climbed over a wall when I went there. It looks like my skills are very neat. It doesn't look like this is my first time. Maybe I have some three-legged cat skills."

The reason why he knows so much in detail is because he has a love of gossip. In addition to listening to the gossips of the market, he is especially fond of the shady secrets of wealthy and aristocratic families.

So I dragged the spy in charge of Wutou Alley to learn more about it.

So the master actually has the same interests as him?

I never noticed it before.

After many years, the left side of the abdomen where the sword had been stabbed seemed to be in pain again. Xie Xianping glanced at him calmly and said,

"Maybe he has some three-legged cat skills. Is this your conclusion?"

"Have you forgotten who stabbed the bloody hole in your young master's body five years ago? Her teacher, Mr. Chu, is Wen Neng who can fight a Jinshi, and Wu Neng can defeat the general guarding the border. This is not clear?

"

Qing Yan's heart suddenly trembled: "I am short-sighted. I ignored such important information and jumped to conclusions based only on appearances."

The only reason to blame is that the female queen in the Pei Mansion is so confusing!

His appearance is heavenly and beautiful, his demeanor is luxurious and solemn, and every move he makes is as if he has been measured with a ruler.

It is hard to imagine that such a person is a habitual criminal who has never shown off his martial arts skills.

Good guy, you hide it deep enough!

It’s true that the more beautiful you are, the more likely you are to deceive others!

Qing Yan sifted through his impression of Pei Shu from the beginning and said, no wonder the master pays special attention to her, thinking that that sword attack hurt his young master.

Almost missed the mark!

The young master must have made a serious note of her in his heart, and sooner or later he would have to get his money back with interest.

Qing Yan secretly reminded himself that when he met that person in the future, he couldn't be kind to her just because of her pretty face.
