Chapter 376 The Widow of the Dead
Not long after the bully Mr. Shi left, a woman who looked very similar to Hua Xuanfei walked into the messy Qinji Noodle Shop, picked up the middle-aged man like a dead dog, and said viciously: "
Say! Who did you sell Xuanfei Xiaowu to?"
Looking at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him, the man's face was full of horror as if he had seen a ghost, "Hua Xuanhui!...Why did you come back?"
He must not be afraid. Nearly two years ago, after a big change occurred in the Qin family, his cousin joined the Baiyang Holy Cult. This was a crime of treason. If he was discovered, he would be guilty of being implicated!
"If I didn't come back, how would I know that you, a cruel beast, wanted to sell Xuan Fei, Xiao Wu and the others?"
"No! Xuan Hui! Listen to me, they were snatched away!" The man suddenly cried as if he had been wronged.
"Who?" The enchanting woman named Hua Xuanhui frowned and asked in a cold voice.
"Yes...Jing...His Royal Highness Jinglian."
"Princess Jinglian?" Hua Xuanhui chewed the name with a solemn look in her eyes. She left the middle-aged man with an earthy face and left quietly.
...
Next, Suye Yayan took Shi Chen and others to several other places. In the process, Shi Chen visited the customs and customs of the imperial capital and teased the cute little elf Xiao Wu from time to time.
Hua Xuanfei, the one between the two, was still stiff, feeling the hot breath coming from behind, and her face was so red that she wanted to bleed.
Her husband is a man with an old-fashioned and self-disciplined personality. Ever since he married him at the age of fourteen, she has understood nothing. The two of them have treated each other with respect. Not long after she was pregnant with Xiao Wu, the man was recruited by the empire.
Once you go to the front line, you will never come back.
After her husband passed away, she has been a widow to this day, and now she is in the prime time of a woman's youth. She has never had such close contact with a man in broad daylight.
She was sitting on pins and needles in Shi Chen's arms, as if every passerby was looking at her with colored eyes and pointing at her.
At this moment, when she remembered that she had not put up any resistance when being 'taken away' by the other party, as if she was willing to be taken away, she only felt that she was the most shameless woman in the world...
Shi Chen didn't know what the woman in his arms was thinking. His attention was all on Xiao Wu. As for her mother, she just couldn't bear the side effects of the separation of Xiao Wu and her daughter. He didn't have any animal thoughts.
Xiao Wu is only two years older than Qian Lin, but because Qian Lin is so precocious, the two look somewhat similar, with the same black hair and black pupils, the same bright eyes and white teeth, the same understanding of right and wrong, the same
The elf is cute. Like a cute and caring little cotton-padded jacket, it warms the softest place in his heart. Every time he teases Xiao Wu and laughs like a silver bell, he seems to have returned to the days of Yinxiang Villa in Xingquan, the capital.
It's just that Xiao Wu can't replace Qian Lin's position after all. He has been away from home for a long time, and Shi Chen is heartbroken every time he thinks of Qian Lin crying when they say goodbye.
He missed Qian Lin a little...
Su Yeyayan on the side also didn't know that Shi Chen's thoughts had already crossed a hundred thousand light years and flown to the other side of the distant star.
Because there was a pretty woman between Shi Chen and Xiao Wu. When Shi Chen teased Xiao Wu, he was leaning against the side of the beautiful woman's face. Every time he spoke, it was like the closest lovers biting each other's ears.
Like a love story.
Looking at the beautiful woman's blushing face, she was so nervous that she was about to lose her mind. Suye Yayan secretly cursed her, but she wished she could replace it. She thought with some resentment that when she and Shi Chen got along, the other party never said anything.
He was so gentle to himself, but sometimes he was only ruthlessly rough and almost humiliating.
Near noon, the group of them walked into a restaurant in the imperial capital under the covert protection of dozens of plainclothes royal guards.
Directly opposite the door of the restaurant hall, there is a huge portrait of the current Imperial Majesty Suye Mulan in military uniform. Everyone who has just entered the restaurant will pay attention with a serious face, even if they were messed up by that Majesty the day before yesterday.
Suye Yayan, who was whipped, was not exempt from the vulgarity.
There are many people in the empire, and there are also many nobles. After losing the dazzling guards around them and getting off the white horse, they are no different from ordinary nobles. Not many people can recognize the man wearing a neutral woolen coat with a tie at a glance.
The woman with a single ponytail is Princess Jinglian of the empire.
But beautiful things attract attention wherever they go. As soon as he walked into this restaurant, Shi Chen obviously felt that the voice inside was much weaker. But in the end, no one recognized that the heroic woman was the third princess of the empire.
, after the brief surprise, it was time to eat and talk.
The restaurant was originally a place where many people liked to talk. Shi Chen looked back at the portrait and heard various voices of conversation, and his brows furrowed slightly.
His imperial dialect was learned while traveling. Most of the voices in the news were strong and rounded, while the people in the imperial capital all spoke with a Beijing accent that was thick and nasal, which made it difficult for Shi Chen to listen.
This was the first time he received intelligence about the empire at close range in the imperial capital. He had to put in a lot of curiosity and energy to distinguish the conversations. Most of these conversations were about family affairs, such as which family's woman stole the man and was immersed in pigs.
After leaving the pond, some unlucky man went to visit a brothel and was caught by his own shrew, causing a lot of trouble, etc.
However, the patient Shi Chen still captured a lot of useful information, such as the recent news that the King of Nanshan County will surrender his troops. Some people thought that this news came too suddenly, and there must be fraud in it. An old scholar even listed many
Thirteen suspicious signs were all remembered by Shi Chen.
As for the war on the Canglan front line, some people also talked about it. When they talked about the tragic defeat on the front line, their voices lowered their voices, and their faces were full of hatred and pain. Some people thought that the emperor was stupid and lost the most elite troops in the empire's hands with a piece of random paper.
, some people believe that the failure of the war has something to do with the emerging Baiyang Sect in the country. They believe that in order to fight against the outside world, one must first pacify the internal situation, and it is right to block the annihilation of the Baiyang Sect.
He even heard someone talking about the rights and wrongs of the first war between the Empire and the Federation. Regarding this historic dispute, Shi Chen was very interested in hearing the opinions of the people of the Empire. However, before he could listen carefully, he
He had followed Su Ye Yayan all the way to the private room on the second floor, and those sounds were blocked out as the door closed.
After arriving at the private room, Su Ye Yayan personally ordered the menu, glanced at the beautiful woman standing beside Shi Chen tremblingly like a little daughter-in-law, and then glanced at the little thin horse like a tabby cat in Shi Chen's arms, frowning slightly.
He frowned and asked the waiter to summon a female guard, and ordered her to take the two of them down to take a bath and change into cleaner clothes before dining.
So only Shi Chen and the two were left in the restaurant. Not long after the dishes were served, the guard commander knocked on the door and came in. He knelt on one knee in front of Su Ye Yayan and said: "Your Highness, my subordinates have already investigated everything.
"
"Oh? Let's report it." The princess lowered her eyes slightly, took a sip of the Dahongpao she had just soaked, and hummed softly: "I want to see who is so bold as to dare to design such a plan to bully the widow."
"According to my subordinates' investigation, the woman's name is Hua Xuanfei, and she is the widow of Master Qin Feng of the Fourth Mechanical Division of the Empire's advance army to Xuyue."
"What?"
