lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the rebirth actress!

The day before, I got Xiao Jue's verbal guarantee. After he agreed, he took He Yan with him at the palace banquet. He Yan slept very sweetly that night. On the next morning, when she woke up, she did not see Xiao Jue as usual. There was only one ginkgo sitting in the yard, waiting for her to get up and eat just like yesterday.

He Yan used to get up early in his life, and suddenly he slept three poles a day. It was embarrassing for a little girl to wait for him. She asked Ginguo, "Ginguo, did your second young master say where you went?"

Ginguo shook her head, "Is Young Master He looking for the second master in an emergency?"

He Yan smiled, "Just ask casually." He was a little strange. After returning to Beijing, Xiao Jue looked like he was busy. What was he doing?

But she didn't think too much, there are other things to do today.

He Yan greeted Ginguo, changed clothes and went out. She didn't call the carriage, she wore a drapery, and walked on the street by herself. She could walk to the Xu family's house with her eyes closed, and after a short while, she stopped in front of the vermillion gate.

He Yan stood at the door, looking at the mansion in front of him.

Looking in from the outside, the house looks narrower, narrow as if it can't contain people's ambitions, narrow as a coffin, and buried her in it like this.

He Yan originally thought that after so long, she was already very calm. But when she really stood here, her mood was hard to calm down. It was here that she was pushed by He Wanru into a pool of cold water and never saw the sun on the second day.

The young man at the door is sweeping the floor. Xu Zhiheng is a particular person, and the house must be clean anytime and anywhere. He doesn't like blemishes, just as he doesn't like scars on women's skin.

He Yan stepped forward and said: "Brother, I'll ask you for personal information."

The cleaning boy stopped, looked at He Yan, and asked: "You are..."

"I am entrusted to inquire about individuals," He Yan whispered, "In your house, is there an aunt named He Wanru?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Si's face changed drastically, "You..."

The next moment, he felt that there was a heavy object in his hand, and when he looked down, it was a silver coin. The young man swallowed, and subconsciously put the silver into his sleeve, looked around and no one noticed, then whispered: "My son, you go and wait for me under the locust tree in the alley ahead. You are not talking here. Place."

He Yan nodded, "Understand, brother must come, if you can inquire about this person for me..." She smiled slightly, "The benefits of brother are indispensable."

The young man was beaming with joy, "Natural, natural!"

He Yan didn't talk to him much, just as the young man was worried, this is indeed not the place to talk. Moreover, with the relationship between Xu Zhiheng and He Rufei, it is inevitable that there are no He Rufei people walking outside. She lowered her veil, went to the locust tree in the said alley, and waited with peace of mind.

He Yan is not afraid that the little boy will take the money and refuse to admit it. Although the Xu family is also an official family, it is not generous to the next generation. Probably because Xu Zhiheng was originally a Bachelor of Hanlin, and he had learned the scribes, so he was more willing to spend his silver on the decoration, such as the tiles of the house. And one of the words that Mrs. Xu used to say is: If it is too good to the subordinates, it will not be good for them to give birth to alienation. You have to know that you must not go too close between the servant and the master.

Because she has been in the military camp for many years, she doesn’t have much opinion on the “subordinates” and the “masters”. She always feels that people are people. Really use this as a backing? Therefore, when she just married into Xu's family and her eyes were not blind, she was very generous. At that time, the subordinates of the Xu family were also happy to be sent by her. It was precisely because of this incident that He Yan was secretly sued by Xu Zhiheng many times by He Wanru.

What kind of master there is, of course, what kind of subordinates will be raised. Xu Zhiheng is someone who can conspire with outsiders to kill his own wife for profit, so the servants in his house will definitely do nothing but profit.

Sure enough, after two incense sticks, someone sneaked into the yard, and it was the talented servant.

He Yan said: "Brother, there is a tea house nearby, let's go in and talk."

Xiao Si nodded.

He Yan arrived at the teahouse, ordered a pot of good tea, and ordered a few plates of exquisite desserts. He shot extremely generously. The young man in front of him couldn't help thinking secretly, which family's young master is so rich.

"What do you call my little brother?" He Yan pushed the tea cup in front of him.

"The son is called Xiao Fuwang."

He Yan did not take off his veil, and said softly, "So Fuwang, what I just said, is the aunt named He Wanru in the house now?"

Fuwang looked embarrassed, "My son, let’s not tell you, there is indeed Aunt He in our house, but a year ago, Aunt He stole his wife’s property and sold it outside the house and was moved by the young master. After getting the family law, she became seriously ill and died."

He Yan: "That's how it is."

She was not surprised. A year ago, shortly after her death, He Wanru was dealt with by Xu Zhiheng. In fact, she had reminded He Wanru that if Xu Zhiheng could kill herself to keep a secret, she could also kill her.

"The son is looking for Aunt He..." The young man looked at He Yan, but he covered his face with a drapery hat. He couldn't see exactly what this person looked like, but he only vaguely felt very young.

"I was Aunt He's childhood playmate, but I wasn't in Shuojing before," He Yan sighed, "I haven't seen her for many years. I wanted to see her, but I didn't expect..."

Fuwang suddenly realized that he was talking about his childhood playmates, I am afraid that he is not interesting to He Wan, or the lover of the past? After all, although he hadn't seen it before, he had also heard that Aunt He was so charming and fascinating that he once fascinated his young master even the grandmother.

"The concubine who made a mistake will not be buried in the tomb of the Xu family," He Yan said, "Where is she buried? If possible, I want to take her away."

"My son, after Aunt He died of illness, she was rolled up with a mat and thrown into a mass grave." Fuwang said, "Now, I'm afraid there is no bones."

He Yan sneered in her heart. Xu Zhiheng was very affectionate and affectionate to He Wanru at the beginning. She also yearned to envy him. Now it seems that this man is really cold-blooded and ruthless. He treats himself, even if he doesn't love him. Can be ruthless. But to He Wanru, the woman he really loved, that's nothing more than that.

Fuwang was silent when seeing the man in front of him, his heart was really a love, and he still remembered it even after he was married.

He Yan looked up again and asked him: "What about Aunt He's personal maid? If they are still there, I want to take them out of here. I have missed a lot of things these years, maybe they can tell me."

"The son, Aunt He's personal maid left the house after she died." Fu Wang said.

He Yan smiled slightly, "What about the other servants in the yard?"

Fuwang was taken aback.

He only entered the mansion at the beginning of this year. When he entered the mansion, the Xu family also recruited a large number of small servants. At that time, the children they were traveling with were still surprised. Generally speaking, there was no shortage of the old maidservants of this kind of big family. Suddenly, so many people were recruited. What's the matter, the original person is gone.

Uncle Xu did marry a bride, but he married General Feihong’s cousin. The grandma came in and brought enough servants. These servants did not wait in the grandma's yard.

So... it just happened, so the original person is gone. The so-called absence... is actually dead?

Fuwang is not stupid. On the contrary, he is the most clever among this group of young men, but he can only guard the gate, so he often complains about the unfair destiny. However, at this moment, a tip of the iceberg was glimpsed from the strange man's mouth.

The more you know about secrets, the easier it is to die, but in the same way, you can easily change your destiny. Wealth and wealth are in danger, but there is no risk. Where does the sky-splashing wealth come from?

He Yan saw that the light of desire appeared in the eyes of this little servant, and he faintly touched on, "Fuwang, I see you are very clever, how do you uncle treat you?"

Fuwang was taken aback, before he said for a while: "Master...I don't remember the little one."

"It's really a pity," He Yan smiled, "A talent like you, if it were me, would definitely be reused."

Fuwang got a little excited.

Some words stop here, don’t need to say more, He Yan took out a silver coin from his sleeve and put it on the table, “I also know a lot of news today, thank you. But... if you can Help me find out more. For example, the maids of Aunt He, or the servants who were still there, you can get much more than this. Also," she said again, "do these things, be careful Some, so many people have left the house. The master Xu family seems to be very harsh. If you are not careful, Fuwang, if you also leave the house, it would be a pity."

Fuwang looked at the son in front of him, both nervous and excited, he asked anxiously, "But, where should the younger one go to find the son?"

The fish has taken the bait.

He Yan smiled slightly, "When I have time, I will come here to sit and sit. If you want to find me, Fuwang, you can come here to find it. I'm not sure when I'm here."

After saying this, she got up and left the tea room, leaving the little servant alone at the table, her expression unpredictable.

As soon as he left the house, He Yan's smile faded.

Before going to deal with Fuwang, He Yan observed the people who came out of the Xu family, and found that most of them were fresh faces. Almost all of the people she had when she first married to the Xu family had disappeared.

This is very natural, Xu Zhiheng wants to cut the grass and roots, and those who are not allowed to stay. He Yan actually didn't think that he could really find anything alive. I'm afraid that all the witnesses have been completely destroyed by Xu Zhiheng. But she needs a servant like Fuwang to do things for her in the Xu family.

Paper can’t keep the fire out. What you do will always be traceable. It is not human evidence, but as long as some physical evidence, such as certain things He Wan has left behind, may become physical evidence someday in the future. . No one finds out, Fuwang can collect information for her, but when someone finds out...Xu Zhiheng will be nervous, and a nervous person will always have loopholes when he does things.

People with ghosts in their hearts, walking in the sun, will suspect that the shadows are evil spirits who come to avenge.

Fuwang is clever and ambitious, that's enough.

Just as when He Rufei sent Ding to harm himself, Xu Zhiheng watched as a pillow, how they used the people around them to deal with themselves, they would return them intact.

The nightmare of Xu Zhiheng and He Rufei has just begun.

……

When He Yan returned to Xiao's house, it was almost evening.

As soon as I walked into the yard, I heard Bai Rongwei and Xiao Jing talking, Xiao Jing said: "You don't have to do so much, just make one for Huai Jin."

Bai Rongwei replied a little bit agitatedly, "How can you be? Besides, these sachets are embroidered by maids. I just stuffed some vanilla in it, and it didn't take much effort."

He Yan stopped and saluted them, "Young Master Xiao, Madam Young."

"Young Master He," Bai Rong said with a smile, "You came just right, I just wanted to ask someone to send you a sachet." She took two sachets from the handmaid beside her and handed them to He Yan In the hand, "One is yours, the other is Huai Jin's."

He Yan took it and saw that the sachets were made very small. One was embroidered with silver python on a black background, with gorgeous lines, and the other was an ordinary auspicious moire pattern, which should be for her.

"It's almost Mid-Autumn Festival. I asked the maid to make some sachets with concentrating vanilla and peace charms. You and Huaijin often walk around, and it’s good to put them on your body." She smiled, "Master He Don't dislike it."

He Yan didn't expect that she would have another one. He was surprised for a while, "I won't dislike it, I really appreciate Madam Young."

"You are Huai Jin's friend, you don't have to be so polite." Xiao Jing said warmly.

He Yan nodded, and she was always at a loss for the kindness of Xiao family and his wife that was about to overflow.

"By the way, three days later, there will be a banquet at the house," Bai Rongwei seemed a little embarrassed. "I said earlier with Mr. He that the banquet was hosted in my name. There will be many ladies and ladies... …Is there anything going on that day for Mr. He? If it’s all right, it’s okay to stay in the house."

He Yan: "..."

This is choosing a wife for Xiao Jue, why did you choose her back? He Yan hurriedly said again, and fled.

Looking at the back of He Yan hurriedly leaving, Bai Rong said in a strange way: "Why is this Young Master He so frightened when he hears the girl? Although he is still young now, it is not impossible to be married. It shouldn't be with Huai Jin. I've stayed for a long time, and plan to be alone for a lifetime?"

Xiao Jing smiled: "Huaijin treats him very well."

"That's true." Bai Rong nodded slightly. After she married in, although she knew that Xiao Jue's heart was not bad, she was really not a person who likes to show emotions. But for this young Young Master He, it can be said to be very straightforward to protect his shortcomings.

"It's a good thing to have friends." Xiao Jing looked relieved, "At least, he can discuss many things with others."

……

He Yan lay on the table under the oil lamp, looking at the sachet wrapped around his finger.

Bai Rongwei gave her two and asked her to give the other to Xiao Jue. The sachet made by Xiao Jue is very beautiful. He Yan wrapped the red string around his finger and sighed in his heart. It is really shameful that even the maid of Xiao's family, Nvhong, did so well.

Of course, He Yan is not a female celebrity. So when he just married into Xu's family, He Wanru made shoes and clothes for Xu Zhiheng every other time. He Yan spent several nights before squeezing out a handkerchief. He wanted to embroider mandarin ducks and play in the water on the handkerchief. Xu Zhiheng stared at it for a long time before asking, "This is... a duck?"

He Yan was hit hard, Xu Zhiheng laughed, and although he accepted the square veil, he never used it. It's not that He Yan couldn't understand, he was an official at the court, if he took out a handkerchief embroidered with ducks, he would be laughed at by his colleagues. It was just that when I found the crumpled and yellowed veil at the bottom of Xu Zhiheng's drawer, I felt a little aggrieved when I thought about it until my hands were full of needles.

She has always learned what men need to learn. She doesn’t know how to do piano, chess, calligraphy, calligraphy, and female red embroidery. When she wants to do things as an ordinary woman, she feels at a loss.

There is also a small wooden basket on the table. There are some needles and silver scissors in the basket, which should be used by people. He Yan picked up the silver scissors. The scissors were very delicate. Her hands were used to holding both long swords and double knives, sticks and spears, but a pair of scissors felt extremely heavy.

Actually, He Yan does not know how to do these needlework at all. After all, in the years when I joined the army in the barracks, there were only so many clothes, and it was inevitable that there would be times of tatters. As long as it is broken, the brothers will find a piece of cloth or whatever and fill in the hole. It's just that men's craftsmanship is not as meticulous as girls, and it can only be said that they are sewn, which is not pretty. Sometimes a piece of clothing has too many patches, and it doesn't look as good as a street beggar.

He Yan has also picked up a lamp to sew it, but it has been a matter of his previous life.

Two sachets were placed side by side in front of her. Xiao Jue’s one was more gorgeous and He Yan’s one was more ordinary. She stretched out her hand and squeezed it. It was flat inside, and could vaguely touch a triangle-shaped piece of paper. And some fluffy herbs. He Yan thought for a while and took out the needle and thread in the wooden basket.

The oil in the oil lamp was about to burn out, He Yan stretched out and stood up.

Half the night passed, she wiped the blood bead from her finger and sighed softly.

It seems that Miss He's needlework is not very good. In her past and present life, she really has no talent for female red. He Yan smiled, turned off the lights and collapsed. The moonlight outside the window was faint, faintly illuminating a corner of the front table.

On the table, two sachets lie side by side, looking no different from before.

……

In Shenfu, Shen Muxue's house, the lantern is still on at the moment.

The people in the yard have already fallen asleep, but Shen Muxue is not sleepy, lying on the collapsed, staring at the sachet hanging in the four corners of the tent.

It's been a few days since I returned to Shuojing, Xiao Jue should have known it too. She didn't go to Xiao Mansion for an unprecedented time, but Xiao Jue didn't say anything in the same way. It was Bai Rong, the youngest wife, who came to the mansion and asked her once.

Shen Muxue turned over a little irritably.

Even Shen Yushi saw something was wrong, and asked her if she had a quarrel with Xiao Jue. Shen Muxue shook her head and went over it perfunctorily, but she felt a little more nervous in her heart for no reason.

She originally wanted Xiao Jue to know that she felt uncomfortable. But after a stalemate for a few days, it was her who had no bottom in her heart. Xiao Jue may not know, he is a person who doesn't care about these things, but if he knows... Is he deliberate?

There is a fire in Shen Muxue's heart.

When she left Liangzhouwei, she found a faceless man and a wooden portrayal in the box. She couldn't help but think about it. Mianren was a woman. Does Xiao Jue have someone he likes in his heart? If it was only this, she would not be so alarmed, but the person engraved on the wooden painting was a female general.

And the eyebrows are very similar to He Yan.

In an instant, all the things that were somewhat suspicious in the past turned into evidence and appeared before me. Xiao Jue was too close to and caring for He Yan, and He Yan showed some uncomfortable feelings for her at certain times. Xiao Jue also took He Yan with him when he was in Jiyang. His black jade, which never left his body, was once held by He Yan. The anointing oil that Xiao Jue specifically emphasized not to be taken away appeared in He Yan's hands the next day.

If it is a broken sleeve, it would be too shocking to the world, but... what if He Yan is a woman?

Shen Muxue closed her eyes.

When the young girl was dressed up as a teenager, she was already extraordinarily glamorous, and her eyebrows were delicate and moving. If she changed to a woman's dress, Shen Muxue thought bitterly, she could easily catch people's eyes.

In the past few years, although Xiao Jue has never been given to Xiao Jue, she does not have much sense of crisis. This young man was particularly outstanding when he was a teenager, and his temperament was lazy. Later, when his family changed drastically, he became more and more indifferent and introverted. Although his temperament was such, his talent and appearance made the girl who liked him still rushed to him, but she had never seen Xiao before. Who does Jue favor?

He is not easily emotional, so Shen Muxue believes that only women in the world can accompany him on the battlefield and support each other with him. As long as the time is long enough, everything is a matter of course.

Her determination comes from her conceit. But now, all her conceit has been broken.

There is a woman who can do more than her. Not only can she accompany Xiao Jue on the battlefield, but she can also fight alongside him. He Yan can do what she can't do. As for the family background... Xiao Jing could marry a concubine Bai Rongwei, and the Xiao family didn't care about this at all.

Shen Muxue's heart is shrinking.

She can't get Xiao Jue's preference, but she is unwilling to watch He Yanjie go first. It is obvious that she came first, and she is the longest person to accompany Xiao Jue...

In the dark night, Shen Muxue sat up abruptly.

She put on her outer garment, walked to the table, and lit the oil lamp. Find out the paper, pen and ink, and sit at the table by yourself.

The light of the oil lamp made her eyes hurt, and her hands trembled slightly. After a while, Shen Muxue seemed to have made up her mind and started writing.

After spending so much time and energy, but did not get a happy ending, no one would be willing. She didn't accept this ending. If Xiao Jue was destined not to stand on her side and think about her, then...she could only start from He Yan's side.

Shen Muxue was writing faster and faster, faster and faster, and suddenly, the tip of the pen made a mistake and too much strength, she drew a gap in the paper. She stared at the thin paper in front of her blankly, raised her hand violently, and threw the paper into a ball on the ground.

After a while, she covered her face with her hands and cried quietly.
