The beginning of the counterattack! The time-traveling boss is famous in Beijing
Chapter 26: Doubts Resurface
Butler Ren, who received the task of sending someone away, did not ask many questions even though he was curious.
Having stayed in the Xie Mansion for decades, whether in the capital or Taihe County, anyone who can be personally escorted out by Nanny Zhang and treated differently by Old Madam Xie must have his own abilities.
So he put the backpack on the carriage with a smile, and then called Qin Ruo and his group to get on.
Then, Butler Ren drove the carriage steadily towards the yamen.
As soon as the carriage driven by Butler Ren left, another unmarked carriage slowly appeared in front of the gate of Xie Mansion from the opposite direction.
The two people sitting in the carriage just happened to see Qin Ruo's last figure when she got on the carriage.
"Master! Master! Look, isn't that the girl we met in the mountains?"
"The person driving the car seems to be Uncle Ping. By the way, why did that girl come to our Xie Mansion?" Cang Jiu looked surprised.
"Ah Jiu, are you taking advantage of me? I don't have a grandson as old as you."
The young man smiled, answered the question irrelevantly, and withdrew his gaze from Qin Ruo.
Cang Jiu: “…”
Cang Jiu was angry for a moment, and then he realized. How could he be taking advantage of the young master? He was clearly the grandson.
"Okay! Okay! Why do you care so much? Maybe it's my aunt's guest."
Si Heng raised his hand and knocked Cang Jiu on the head, then jumped lightly off the carriage and walked into Xie Mansion with a swagger.
After returning to the room and changing clothes, Si Heng took Cang Jiu straight to the old lady's Hefengju.
Uncle Ping has been the steward of the Xie family for decades, and he can count the number of times he has personally seen off guests on one hand.
He was also very curious.
"Aunt, are there guests in our house?"
As soon as I stepped into Hefengju, I could hear Si Heng’s voice before I saw him.
"Heng'er?"
"Finally I know I'm back."
"You've been missing all day, why are you taking Jiu around? You're old enough to get married, but you're still acting like a naughty monkey."
Mrs. Xie, who was already lying on the bed, stood up when she heard the noise.
Looking at the tall and handsome man standing in front of the stone table in the yard, his words seemed to be complaining, but the joy in his eyes could not be hidden.
Cang Jiu followed behind Si Heng and shrank his neck, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.
"Okay! Ah Jiu, why are you hiding? Do you think I can eat people?"
Old Master Xie glared at Cang Jiu with dissatisfaction again.
Cang Jiu shamelessly walked out from behind Si Heng and bowed to Madam Xie.
"Aunt, I haven't seen you for a few days. I miss you so much." Si Heng said sweetly and walked forward to help Mr. Xie walk into the house.
He massaged her shoulders and patted her back, and in just a few words, Si Heng had coaxed Old Madam Xie into a state of disbelief.
Qin Ruo was successfully trapped and the process of going to Xie Mansion today was recorded.
After Si Heng massaged Mr. Xie's shoulders for a while, he sat down at the table.
After taking a few gulps of water, he began to play with the teacup in his hand in a frivolous manner.
He listened to the old lady praising Qin Ruo for being steady and well-behaved. But he could not reconcile her with the person he met in the mountains who could summon wolves and lure snakes in an instant.
Si Heng repeated Qin Ruo's name several times in his mind, then yawned and left with an excuse.
After leaving the old lady and Feng Ju, the smile on his face faded.
"Ajiu, go check the origins of that Qin guy. If he is related to those people in the capital... don't hold back."
Si Heng spoke indifferently and slowly stretched out his hand, wiping his neck.
Anyone who can use such strange means and kill people without changing his expression must not be a simple person.
We just met in the mountains a few days ago, and now he's at Xie's house. That's such a coincidence.
There were many people who secretly wanted to take his life, but from childhood to adulthood, Si Heng relied on his intuition to avoid countless dangers.
He had to doubt.
He could understand that a country girl was somewhat skilled in hunting.
It is unbelievable that he can control animals and even understands medical principles.
After meeting in the mountains that day, he was really curious and sent Cang Jiu to investigate Qin Ruo.
The result is very simple: this person named Qin Qiuxi is of ordinary identity.
She is the daughter of a hunter farmer in Changhe Village. Her parents have both passed away and she lives with her grandmother and two younger brothers, making a living by hunting.
After the investigation results came out, he put the matter aside.
After all, it had nothing to do with him, so Si Heng didn't take it to heart. But now that it concerns the Xie family, he has to take it seriously again.
He was thinking about someone who had never even been to school, so where did she get all these skills?
Then there is only one possibility, unless this Qin Qiuxi is fake.
No matter what her purpose was for approaching the Xie Mansion.
Anyone who is detrimental to the Xie family will be killed.
A cruel smile appeared on Si Heng's face again.
Cang Jiu understood what Si Heng said, and instantly put away his smile and left.
Old Madam Xie in Hefengju looked at Si Heng's figure, met the worried look of Nanny Zhang, and shook her head.
Si Heng's thoughts could not be hidden from her eyes.
Although the child didn't show it on his face, he must have been suspicious of Qin Ruo.
Since he asked, she pretended not to know and cooperated with him. Anyway, she would check it out later whether he said it or not.
Old Madam Xie has lived for several decades, and if nothing else, she has some ability to judge people.
The little girl is graceful and has a good character.
I was afraid that my nephew would bring disaster to others due to his impulse.
During that half-hour conversation, she could see that Qin Ruo was a principled and opinionated person.
She was also afraid that this incident would create resentment in Qin Ruo. Although they had only met once, Mr. Xie had a very good impression of Qin Ruo.
At the same time, she felt sorry for her nephew, who had suffered a lot since childhood.
"Qionghua, Heng'er is a very thoughtful child. He is a good young man, but he is treated like an old man. He gets nervous at the slightest movement. I feel tired for him."
"Ask Cang Jiu to keep an eye on Heng'er and don't let him do anything wrong." Old Man Xie sighed heavily.
"I think you can rest assured. In my opinion, you are too worried."
"I have watched Heng Ge'er grow up. He has always been a sensible person and will never do anything reckless."
Nanny Zhang responded with a smile and stopped there.
Although Madam Xie did not point out anything, she knew that the old lady was talking about Qin Ruo.
"I've told you so many times, don't call yourself an old slave in front of me! It's annoying! You've already been denaturalized and are a free man..."
Old Madam Xie frowned and said with dissatisfaction as she turned her back.
The old lady is becoming more and more like a child as she grows older.
It was easy for Nanny Zhang to coax Old Man Xie.
"Okay! Okay! It's all Qionghua's fault..."
Nanny Zhang turned to Old Madam Xie, smiled, and gently slapped herself on the mouth a few times.
"alright, alright!"
Even though she knew that Nanny Zhang was trying to make her happy, Old Madam Xie didn't want to see Nanny Zhang like this, so she quickly grabbed her wrist.
