Chapter 371 Rooting(1/2)
This evening.
Jiao Shun drove back home. He had just chatted with his father about the flood control project in the main room when he heard Qingwen report that Ping'er was here.
Xiang Laiwang complained, and Jiao Shun hurriedly went to the west wing to meet the guests.
After withdrawing from Lin Hongyu who was serving tea, Ping'er naturally had nothing to hide from him. He immediately told Wang Xifeng exactly what he was thinking, and then apologized: "It's all my fault for accidentally revealing the truth and calling her."
I have a desire to compare with Grandma Zhen."
"I can't blame you."
Jiao Shun waved his hand and said, "She was already suspicious because of Brother Rong's incident. Sooner or later, she will not be able to hide this matter."
He pondered for a moment, and then said: "It's just that our second mistress has always been looking at Shu. If we really take advantage of her, I don't know how to open her mouth. In this case, you go back and tell her that I have
There is no good business that can make money at the moment, so I’d better finish the sea trade thing first and then talk about other things.”
"this……"
Ping'er hesitated: "I'm afraid she may not have such patience."
"It doesn't matter."
Jiao Shun stepped forward and pulled Ping'er's catkins, and said considerately: "I will give you my own comfort in three to five days, and I will never make it difficult for my sister to be around her."
"I'm not afraid of difficulty, I'm just afraid..."
Ping'er bit her lower lip slightly and said shyly and coquettishly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to stay with you forever."
She was originally very reserved in this regard, but it wasn't until Jiao Shun gave up most of his wealth as a ransom for her that she completely let go of her body and mind.
Jiao Shun bowed his head at the right time, and she also bowed her head and submitted.
The two of them argued with each other for a long time, and then Ping'er reluctantly went back to recover.
While Jiao Shun was thinking about what excuse he should find to give Wang Xifeng some sweetness without making her think that he was easy to control, he opened his mouth wide all day long and turned to the east wing to have dinner with Xing Xiuyan.
During the dinner, he suddenly thought of Daiyu and asked Sister Lin how her condition was now.
"It's much better now. Although I still have some fever in the afternoon, it's not as severe as yesterday. I'm still awake all the time."
Xing Xiuyan said, winking at Si Qi, and after Si Qi led the jade bracelet and red jade to avoid outside, she then told her about testing Daiyu yesterday, and finally emphasized again and again: "I see her
I was extremely reluctant, and what I said in the end was just because I was afraid of embarrassment, so I couldn’t do it accurately.”
These words are obviously paving the way for the ending of "fetching water from a bamboo basket in vain".
Although he was forced to be mixed up with Jiao's ambition, Xing Xiuyan was absolutely not hypocritical about this friendship.
Jiao Shun nodded noncommittally, but secretly worried in his heart, if Daiyu still refused to agree, he couldn't force himself on her, right?
But now that she has come to this world of red mansions, Chai Dai should at least marry someone, otherwise wouldn’t Lao Cao’s painstaking efforts in portraying her be in vain?
Just when I was worried, I heard someone coming outside again, talking to Siqi and the others in the corridor.
Listening to the voice, it seemed that it was Yang.
Worried about being noticed by others, the two of them had always deliberately avoided suspicion, so why did she take the initiative to come to her door today?
Could it be that something major happened in the garden that was related to me?
Is it Li Wan or Tan Chun?
Or Aunt Zhao and Mr. Xing?
Or is it Xiuju, Suyun?
Jiao Shun thought about the people he had an affair with one by one, and felt a little unable to sit still, but he couldn't take the initiative to go out and ask for details, so he waited on pins and needles for a long time before he saw Si Qi leading Yang in from outside.
Seeing that Siqi's expression was quite ugly, Jiao Shun thought that something was probably wrong with Xiuju - the biggest news in the past two days was Yingchun's wedding, but that girl was a fool, so maybe that was why...
"uncle."
At this time, Yang pretended to be serious and stepped forward, bowed, and said in a low voice: "Si Qi's cousin Pan is back again."
"Um?!"
Jiao Shun was stunned for a moment before he realized what was going on, so he raised his eyebrows to signal Yang to continue talking nonsense.
"He has been doing small business anonymously outside for two years, and he has really made a lot of money. Now he has quietly returned to the capital, and he is thinking of ransoming Siqi. No, he came to visit him in the afternoon.
Go ahead and ask me to send a letter to Si Qi."
When Yang said this, he took out an unopened letter from his sleeve and handed it to Jiao Shun with both hands.
Jiao Shun took the letter and glanced at Si Qi first, then opened it and took a closer look.
Pan You'an said in the letter that he had left his hometown and lived in the south of the Yangtze River. He missed his cousin Siqi all the time. Now he had finally established a foothold in the south and was barely wealthy, so he planned to return to Beijing to redeem Siqi's life so that they could reunite happily.
Pan Youan also knew that Si Qi had now married Jiao Shun, but he said that this was all the result of what he had sown back then. He could not blame his cousin at all, and he would never have any grudges when they got married in the future...
…
This section of heartfelt words took up half of the page, so Jiao Shun naturally didn't bother to read it carefully and just turned to the following content.
Pan You'an is a very scheming fellow. He knows that if he comes directly to redeem himself, he will most likely be in trouble, or even be sent to the government - after all, he fled in fear of crime and left a criminal record in Shuntian Mansion.
But fortunately, I found out that Si Qi is favored by his aunt in the Jiao family. It happens that this aunt is about to give birth soon. Then you might as well ask her to come forward and ask for a favor. If this method works, it will be the best. If it doesn't work, sister
The two brothers will think of another way.
Tsk~
Jiao Shun smacked his lips, then looked up at Si Qi again: "He said he wanted to redeem you, what do you think of this?"
"What's there to see?"
Siqi's ten fingers were tightly entangled in one place, his plump chest rose and fell rapidly, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I thought he was dead two years ago, and the tomb has been buried!"
Having said that, looking at her nervous and tangled look, you can tell that this matter has a big impact on her.
This is probably the disadvantage of getting on the bus first and then paying for the ticket, because the initial method is not glorious. Just because of the long-term love, I want to dig out the roots of the first love that the two people are in love, and I am afraid that it still needs some heat.
Thanks to Pan Youan's entrustment, otherwise this emotional letter would have caused much more trouble if it fell into Siqi's hands.
Thinking of this, Jiao Shun turned to look at Yang again: "Qin Xian family, what do you think of this matter?"
"Of course the prosecutor took him!"
Yang said solemnly: "He just ran away in fear of crime, and now he comes to act like a monster. If he doesn't bring him to justice earlier, it will only bring trouble to our Qin family. Wouldn't it be a sin to disturb the uncle?"
Si Qi couldn't help but feel a tremble in her heart when she heard this. She had no intention of getting back together with Pan You'an, but after all, he was her childhood sweetheart's uncle and cousin, so no matter how much she hated her, she couldn't do anything to kill them.
Jiao Shun looked at Siqi again, tapped his finger on the table a few times, and suddenly said: "Go and bring Pan You'an here. I have something to ask him face to face."
Yang was worried that her betrayal of Pan You'an would be exposed, so she was a little reluctant, but she did not dare to disobey Jiao Shun's instructions, so she had to respectfully agree and hurried to Pan's house to send a message.
After Yang left, Si Qi raised his head and hesitated to speak, but Jiao Shun waved his hand at her: "You should avoid it first, and wait until I see Pan You'an to say anything."
Siqi gritted his teeth, turned around and walked towards the back room. When he was about to enter the door, he suddenly turned back and solemnly emphasized: "In my opinion, he died two years ago!"
With that said, he picked up the curtain and entered the inner room.
But he said that Yang had arrived at Pan's house in a hurry. In front of his sister-in-law, he did not dare to say that he had betrayed his nephew. He only said that it happened that Jiao Shun had broken it. The letter fell into Jiao Shun's hands, so naturally he could not hide anything.
.
Everyone in the Pan family seemed to be bluffing, and Pan You'an was even more frightened. He was ready to run away overnight.
Yang persuaded him hard, and said that because Jiao Shun wanted to see him, he might agree to let Siqi redeem himself. Then Pan Youan took all the money and went to Jiao's house in fear.
Gu Jie
When he met the powerful Jiao Shun in the living room, Pan Youan couldn't help but feel a little dazed for a moment. When he was framed by Deng Haoshi two years ago and fled the capital in panic, Jiao Shun had just become the governor.
The little steward here, who would have thought that we would meet again after two years, but they are already worlds apart!
"Cough~"
It wasn't until Mr. Yang coughed beside him that Pan Youan came to his senses. He hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kowtowed like he was pounding garlic: "I beg Uncle Jiao to show your kindness. For the sake of past kindness, I will spare this little one."
Come back!"
"That's not what you said."
Jiao Shun raised the letter in his hand: "Your case hasn't been settled yet, but I'm thinking of ransoming your cousin out, which can be considered a sign of kindness and righteousness."
Pan You'an didn't know how to respond. He knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak.
Jiao Shun added: "It's just that she has become my wife now..."
"Little ones don't care, little ones don't care!"
Pan You'an seemed to be confused after hearing this, and kowtowed hurriedly: "If the uncle is willing to release my cousin from slavery, my husband and I will set up a ranking of immortality for the uncle at home."
Okay~
This is about couples.
"But I care!"
Jiao Shun's face turned cold and he glared angrily: "Are you cheating on me by having a secret conspiracy with my people? It's not just for Siqi's sake, I can send you into prison with just one piece of film."
Shuntian Mansion Prison!"
