Huan Yehe's soft voice was filled with a smile: "The so-called third son of Prince Gaomi who died young... had a red birthmark about the size of a thumb on his body, right?!"
birthmark? !
Sheng Weiqiao was shocked and secretly thought that this was important news!
However, she still kept her composure and said, "How did you get such private information?"
"You don't need to know this!" Huan Yehe sat back down, added some tea for himself, picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, half-smiling but not smiling, "Brother's personal servant is called Sheng Xi, and the name sounds like it. I know it’s your Sheng family who gave birth to a child... You, Miss Sheng family, ask him about it. Even if he didn’t pay attention before, if you pay a little attention while waiting for your brother to take a bath, you will naturally know whether what I said is true or false, right?"
After she said this, Sheng Weiqiao continued to test her, but she refused to say anything. She even asked Sheng Weiqiao to tell her some secrets.
Sheng Weiqiao really didn't know much about it, and even if he knew it, he wouldn't tell her. In this way, the two of them went back and forth for a long time, and finally their interest faded, and they made a tacit truce.
So Sheng Weiqiao complained and went to the other side of the room to talk to Gongsun Yingjiang and Sheng Weiwu.
Little did he know that after she sat down in front of Sheng Weiwu, Wangyou changed a pot of tea for Huan Yehe and whispered in a low voice: "County Master, Miss Sheng San has clearly deceived you. Why bother with such important news?" Tell her?"
Huan Yehe picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and said with a smile: "What urgent news? Do you really think the so-called birthmark is real?"
Seeing Wangyou's astonishment, her slightly curved red lips couldn't help but raise more and more, and she laughed softly, "If I could even see the birthmark on Sheng Sleeping Crane's body, I would still have to try every possible means to test him, even if I didn't hesitate to expose the matter. Go to Gaomi Palace and borrow the help of Gaomi Palace to confirm?"
At this point, Sheng Weiqiao glanced at Sheng Weiqiao over there, "I just made it up casually to coax the girl! After all, last time because I went unexpectedly, the girl discovered many of Sheng Suihe's secrets. Sheng Suihe's He has been arguing with me for the past two days... If he hadn't expected me to look at the three female members of the Sheng family today, he wouldn't have let go even now!"
"They are allies after all. It's not good if the relationship becomes too tense."
"Especially now that the news of my grandfather's death has been confirmed, the future of our Huan family can be said to be in the sunset. Whether it is to avenge my grandfather, or... I will rely on the Sleeping Crane in the future. I can relax with him. Let’s get along, why not?”
Huan Yehe smiled lightly and said softly, "Since Sheng Suihe doesn't want this girl to suspect that he has a connection with the Gaomi Palace... I happened to meet this girl again today, so why not do something that can make up for it with a few words? ? Looking back, this girl went to her family to confirm that Sheng Suihe did not have that birthmark on her body, which can somewhat alleviate the doubts about Sheng Suihe's life experience. Sheng Suihe can make a lot of sense even if he doesn't make any sense, come on Given this opportunity, if you still can't coax his sister, you can't blame me, you can only blame him for not trying to prevaricate other girls!"
Wangyou suddenly realized, covered his mouth and said with a smile: "So that's it, the county master has even deceived his slaves!"
Sheng Weiqiao over there didn't know Huan Yehe's plan, but he was still confused by the new news:
Ah Xi is now known as Sheng Xi, but he is actually called Gongsun Xiangxi, okay? !
And he didn’t even listen to Gongsun’s words!
What he listened to most was the words of the Sleeping Crane... If I asked him about this kind of thing, how could he tell me? !
Not only will he not tell me, but he will definitely report it to the sleeping crane immediately!
Sheng Weiqiao was going crazy. If what Huan Yehe said was true, this would be the easiest and fastest way to confirm Sheng Suihe's identity. The problem is... whether it is Sheng Suihe's former servant Gongsun Xi or the current servant. Gongsun Yingdun has been with Sheng Suihe for many years, and he has no friendship with Sheng Weiqiao at all!
What to do
Isn't it confirmed
As soon as this idea came up, Sheng Weiqiao decisively killed it. The clues that he finally found, whether they were true or false, how could he be stumped like this?
but…
This kind of thing…
You can't just ask Sheng Suihe directly... right
If Sheng Suihe wanted to tell himself, he would have told him already.
He didn't want to tell himself that if he took the initiative to ask, he would only alert the enemy...
Most likely, he will pretend to be his elder brother and give him a high-sounding lesson! ! !
After thinking about it, Sheng Weiqiao suddenly had an idea and thought of what Meng Guihuan said when Gongsun Yingjiang and Meng Guihuan asked what medicine Princess Deping gave Meng Guiyu.
"Essence potion, Mongolian perspiration potion and the like are available in almost all drug stores..."
How about going back to find someone to get some Mongolian sweat medicine, pour the Sleeping Crane medicine, and then take off your clothes to verify it yourself? !
When this idea first came up, Sheng Weiqiao was shocked!
After that, she immediately snuffed it out... However, not long after snuffing it out, something came up again: Sheng Suihe's life experience showed that the inside story was complicated and difficult to spread. His personal attendant, Sheng Weiqiao, couldn't control it, and there was nothing he could do. You trust them to help you, and you can’t expect them not to lie to you. In this case, what else can you do besides doing it yourself? !
"And I heard that people who take the Mongolian sweat medicine sleep so hard that they won't wake up even if they beat gongs, drums, push and shake!" Sheng Weiqiao recalled what she had heard before about the efficacy of the Mongolian sweat medicine. After all, the head of the Sheng family His career is in business. These days, money and goods are everywhere, and what he fears most is underhanded tricks like poisoning and setting traps. Even though Sheng Weiqiao has little interest in taking over the family business and has been exposed to it since he was a child, his understanding of such things is better than usual. There are a lot of girls.
At this moment, he thought to himself, "When the time comes, I just need to mix the medicine into the tea soup and trick my brother into taking it. No matter how I manipulate him, he won't wake up. Doesn't that mean I can do whatever I want? As for when he wakes up, … I don’t admit anything, what can he do to me? This is much safer than convincing people around him to do these things! As long as I don’t leak it myself, no one will know what I have done!”
Well, as for Huan Yehe lying to her, Sheng Weiqiao felt that even if it was false, Sheng Suihe would not know what happened while he was unconscious anyway under the sweat medicine, and Huan Yehe thought that he would pass Gongsun Xi understands this situation... If he finds out later that he was deceived, he can find Huan Ye to explain!
No matter what, this is a clue!
Wouldn't it be a pity to just give up like that
The more Sheng Weiqiao thought about it over and over, the more he thought it would be a good idea to do it himself!
She even felt that this was simply God's will... Because if Gongsun Yingjiang hadn't asked Meng Guihuan where to buy such messy medicine for an ulterior purpose just now, how could she have thought of such a good way to break the situation
This shows that he is also doing this because of his own will!
The girl secretly clenched her fists and decided to find an excuse to send Sheng Xiang to buy medicine after she went back... Well, why did Sheng Xiang do this
First of all, Sheng Weiqiao's confidants, such as Lu Jin and Lu Qi, are all women, and it is always not as convenient for men to go out to do things. Especially if you buy something like Mongolian sweat medicine, don't be suspected by the drugstore and cause trouble. Sheng Suihe hasn't been given the medicine yet, but it makes him suspicious and makes him follow in the footsteps of Princess Deping!
Secondly, Sheng Xiang is the vanguard of their group and the most familiar with Chang'an City among the servants. It is safer for him to handle such errands as "either introduced by an acquaintance or with money to open the way";
The third time came, it was the person who had been asked to investigate the matter of Yishan and Yiliu before. Sheng Xiang did it very efficiently, and the various evidences were well listed, which made Sheng Weiqiao feel that his ability to manage affairs was pretty good. When things happened now, he would naturally Thought of him!
... Of course, this is what happened after returning to Shengzhai. Although the luncheon has passed more than half now, and there is hope for a safe and smooth departure from Zheng Guogong's mansion, but after all, he is still here. Who knows what will happen in the next such little time? , will there be any surprises
Therefore, the top priority is to continue to be cautious and pass the current level before you can worry about other things.
"Aunt, are you going to change?" Sheng Weiqiao was just thinking of this when Gongsun Yingjiang suddenly put down the tea bowl, leaned into her ear and whispered, "How about we go together?"
She was just sent over by Sheng Weiqiao to accompany Sheng Weiwu. Because she remembered Sheng Sleeping Crane's instructions, she didn't dare to eat or drink much. She also ate some snacks and drank a small cup of tea to avoid the need to change clothes for the time being. What went wrong if Sheng Weiqiao stayed alone when he left.
But now that Sheng Weiqiao had arrived, Gongsun Yingjiang naturally no longer wronged him.
Like this, after half a pot of tea, I can't sit still.
Sheng Weiqiao didn't know that she called him because she didn't want to leave him alone. Hearing this, he thought Gongsun Yingjiang was worried about getting into trouble if he went to change clothes alone. Hearing this, he nodded and said, "I'll go with you!"
After saying that, he glanced at Sheng Weiwu and said, "The eighth sister is the same."
If both of them leave, Sheng Weiqiao will definitely be worried if Sheng Weiwu is left behind.
Sheng Weiwu didn't really want to change her clothes at this moment, but she had always listened to Sheng Weiqiao's words, and seeing that it was Sheng Weiqiao's request, she patted the snack crumbs on her hands, jumped off the embroidery stool, and planned to leave together.
But after all three of them stood up, Huan Yehe noticed them and raised his voice and asked, "What's wrong?"
Hearing that they planned to change clothes together, he reminded them, "If it's not urgent, it's best for the three of you not to go together."
Sheng Weiqiao asked curiously: "Why?"
"There is a changing place in Guichun Garden. I will ask Wangyou to show you the way later." Huan Yehe said, "But Wangyou will not send you there. This is because I plan to stay out of it here. Let’s wait until the banquet is over to avoid getting entangled in the messy things going on in Duke Zheng’s mansion! If Wangyou is seen and my whereabouts are exposed, I’ll be in trouble!”
"As for you, the same goes for you. The three of you go together. Later, if you meet someone with a higher status, or someone you know, such as Meng Shiyi, Meng Fifteen, etc., and they force you back to the table, this will be a shame. It’s difficult, even if you succeed, you still have to offend people!”
"Leave one person behind. Even if you catch up with this kind of people, you can say that you have to find a companion before you get separated... If you don't come back, if you are asked later, you can just make up an excuse."
Huan Yehe said and smiled again, "Of course this is just my idea, it's up to you whether you want to or not."
Sheng Weiqiao hesitated for a while and felt that what she said made sense. The main reason was that she had agreed with Meng Guihuan to act together before she came. Although later, because Meng Guihuan was unanimously asked to sit on Meng Bijun's right hand, the three of her went to the last seat. Dispersed from this. But since there is only a place for changing clothes in Guichun Garden, if they happen to bump into each other and Meng Guihuan insists that they go to the banquet with her, it will indeed be a trouble.
After all, although Sheng Weiqiao and Meng Guihuan were more familiar with each other than Huan Yehe, they were not familiar enough to develop real trust.
Huan Ye, on the other hand, was a stranger to each other, and at least they knew each other about matters in Bishui County. In Sheng Weiqiao's opinion, he was much more reliable than Meng Guihuan.
At this moment, he walked over to discuss with Huan Yehe: "Ying Jiang and I will come as soon as we go. Can the county master keep an eye on my eighth sister?"
Seeing Huan Yehe nodding, he beckoned Sheng Weiwu over and told her face to face to listen to Huan Yehe's words, "We'll be back soon, you have to be good!"
Only then did he go out under the leadership of Wangyou.
According to Wangyou's instructions, the small pavilion that Huan Yehe chose was in the northeast corner of Guichun Garden. As an important venue for Zheng Guogong's banquets, Guichun Garden contained more than a dozen pavilions and pavilions.
There are several pavilions and rockeries in front of this small pavilion, which provides the best shade.
If Huan Yehe was not a stranger to the garden of Zheng Guogong's Mansion, he was friendly with all the families, and would not be aware of this place even if he had been there several times.
The dressing area of Guichun Garden is arranged in a row of monasteries not far behind the main hall.
Wangyou stopped behind the rockery some way away from the main hall, expressing his worry that he would be seen by acquaintances if he went further. After all, as Huan Yehe's personal maid, almost everyone at this banquet didn't know her.
Huan Yehe had mentioned this just now. Sheng Weiqiao asked her how to go around the main hall to the monastery, thanked her and left.
