Chapter 178 What are you testing?
The other two felt a little puzzled and did not notice the change in Wen Xiangzhu.
But Shen Jiayu knew that Wen Xiangzhu had indeed changed.
"Alright, alright, let's not delve into this issue any further. It's getting late, and they're almost done with the money in Nuszhu's hand. We should go back. I'll come see you next time."
Shen Jiayu glanced at the rosary surrounded by other people, turned around and spoke to them.
The three of them nodded slightly and didn't say much.
Shen Jiayu walked to Nianzhu and took her back. On the way back, she thought about Lu Xiaoyu's words.
Not only she noticed Wen Xiangzhu's transformation, but other people also noticed it. Does that mean that he has awakened?
All these strange behaviors seemed to be reminding her.
But he couldn't ask directly, so Shen Jiayu felt a little depressed.
This time when I went to Shen Qinghe's place, I only gained a little bit and got no other information at all.
Shen Jiayu was lying on the bed drowsy. Before going to sleep, he was still thinking about this matter, not knowing where to start.
It's useless to rely on the system. It's good enough that the system doesn't cheat her.
……
After many days, it was already deep autumn.
Shen Jiayu looked much better. Wearing dark blue clothes, he left the room to look for Song Qinghong.
They have moved out of the small courtyard and own their own mansion - Wen Mansion.
Qi Binwei waited for the envoys from the Jinlin Kingdom. They escorted the princess of the Jinlin Kingdom back to the Jinlin Kingdom safely. After the princess left, they announced the death of Emperor Jing'an.
Afterwards, Qi Binwei promoted Wen Xiangzhu to become the commander of the imperial guards in Kyoto, and the well-known aide to the Third Prince, Ye Hanshan, disappeared from then on.
Although many ministers who had met Wen Xiangzhu had some doubts in their hearts, they also knew that the former Ye Hanshan was the current Wen Xiangzhu.
He was lurking under Qi Rui before, and everything he did was just for Qi Binwei.
After Wen Xiangzhu became the commander of the imperial guards, he had no time to rest. He was busy eliminating all the spies hidden in the palace for Qi Binwei.
Shen Jiayu hadn't seen him for a long time, and she felt more at ease. Wen Xiangzhu's care and concern for her was a burden to her.
After going out, I walked and stopped along the way, and ran into Song Qinghong who was coming with a smile on her face.
"Jia Yu is up." Song Qinghong waved and smiled at Shen Jia Yu from a distance.
Shen Jiayu was just about to go look for her, and never expected it to be such a coincidence.
Song Yuanbai sent her a letter, telling her that he wanted to persuade Song Qinghong to return home. She had been in the Wen family for more than half a month, which was not good for the reputation of an unmarried woman.
What's more, it's time for Song Qinghong to discuss marriage and it's time for her to go back.
Shen Jiayu quickened her pace and walked forward, smiling back, "Sister got up early too, and wanted to go find you, but I didn't expect to meet you here. Is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Song Qinghong curled her lips and smiled, "I can't hide anything from you. I want to go back."
Shen Jiayu was stunned. She thought Song Qinghong would be reluctant to let her go. After all, she had always said that she would wait until her injury was completely healed before going back.
She had never said before that she wanted to go back. Song Yuanbai even wrote to her and asked her to persuade her. Unexpectedly, before she could say any words of persuasion, Song Qinghong herself said that she wanted to go back.
"It's fine. You have been here with me and taking care of me for more than half a month. I'm sure my parents at home miss you very much. After having lunch at my house, I will send my sister back." Shen Jiayu said.
As for Song Yuanbai's letter, she didn't say anything.
Song Qinghong nodded, but then felt a little reluctant and held Shen Jiayu's hand and talked for a long time.
"I didn't want to go back, but my father and mother wrote to me many times asking me to come home. I saw that your health has improved a lot, so I agreed." Song Qinghong blinked slightly, "After I leave, you must take good care of yourself and avoid doing things that are bad for your health. I will let Nianzhu take good care of you."
When Rosary, who was standing by, heard that there was something else going on with her, she immediately raised her hand, narrowed her eyes and smiled, "Don't worry, Miss. I will take good care of you."
Song Qinghong: "As long as the rosary is here, I feel relieved."
Shen Jiayu: "Don't worry, even without the rosary, I can take good care of myself."
The two chatted for a while, and then it was time for lunch.
Nianzhu had arranged everything. The table was filled with Shen Jiayu and Song Qinghong's favorite foods. As soon as they sat down, Wen Xiangzhu came back.
"I heard that my sister was leaving, so I came back specially to see her off." Wen Xiangzhu said.
Shen Jiayu knew very well that Lingfeng must have heard their conversation in the dark and immediately passed the words to Wen Xiangzhu's ears, so he rushed back.
Song Qinghong replied with a few nice and respectful words with a smile, and the three of them began to eat happily.
Wen Xiangzhu asked about Song Qinghong's past from time to time.
"Sister, do you still remember what happened in Ningyuan City? I have forgotten how you met my husband and I."
When Shen Jiayu heard this, he felt something was wrong.
He was very surprised that this time he came back, it was not just to send Song Qinghong back.
When Song Qinghong was in danger outside Ningyuan City, it was clearly his plan. How could he forget it? Why did he bring up this matter at this time?
Song Qinghong seemed to be thinking of the past. A faint smile appeared in her eyes. She began to recall and stopped picking up the food.
"Of course I remember. It was you who saved me and led out the assassin behind me. Jiayu and another big brother passed by and helped me out. You are kind-hearted and escorted me to Ningyuan City. That's how I was able to return to Kyoto safely."
When she finished speaking, Wen Xiangzhu's deep eyes flickered slightly, and he forced a smile, "Yes, that's it."
After this conversation, Wen Xiangzhu never spoke again.
The atmosphere obviously became a little strange. Shen Jiayu had trouble swallowing his food. The feeling of playing guessing games with Wen Xiangzhu came back again.
The couple sent Song Qinghong back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. On the way back, Shen Jiayu couldn't help but ask the question that Wen Xiangzhu had asked just now during the meal.
Shen Jiayu glanced at him sideways, "Why did you ask that question? What are you trying to test?"
Wen Xiangzhu did not answer her question directly, but asked: "Since you can see that I am testing you, don't you notice that there is something wrong with Song Qinghong?"
Shen Jiayu shook her head without even thinking, "She's always been like this."
Hearing this, Wen Xiangzhu sighed, which was rare, and then his face became serious. He said slowly: "She is a little different from before. I don't have much contact with her, but I can notice that she talks more and likes to pry into things that she would not pay attention to before. I also noticed the murderous intent in her eyes."
Shen Jiayu frowned and thought about it carefully. Wen Xiangzhu was right.
