Chapter 154 Asking questions knowingly
Shen Jingxuan came to the secret compartment and looked at the thick stack of letters and several bottles and jars in it. Without thinking, she put them all into the space.
Xie Lingxiao has been out for a long time and has searched everywhere, but still hasn't found Shen Jingxuan.
Worried that she would be in danger if she went out alone and couldn't leave the space, he paced back and forth in the yard anxiously.
When Shen Jingxuan came to the space, she saw Xie Lingxiao with a frown on his face and a look of anxiety.
"Axiao, I'm back." Hearing the familiar voice, Xie Ling turned around suddenly and pulled her into his arms.
"Remember to take me with you next time, otherwise I will worry." Xie Lingxiao tightened his arms around Shen Jingxuan.
Shen Jingxuan curved her eyebrows and said, "Okay."
"Ah Xiao, did you see what I put in?"
There are people guarding outside the study. If there is light in the study, it will definitely attract them.
Shen Jingxuan then thought of bringing the letter into the space and reading it more carefully.
"I didn't see it." Xie Lingxiao said.
He was so busy worrying about Shen Jingxuan's safety that he had no time to pay attention to anything else.
After Shen Jingxuan learned about it, she started looking around.
The gold, silver and jewelry collected in the past were all placed in the yard, and she didn't know where they would be placed this time.
Shen Jingxuan took Xie Lingxiao to search in the yard, and when they didn't find what they wanted, they went to the room.
As soon as I stepped into the room, I saw neatly arranged letters on the table and porcelain bottles that were casually put away.
Shen Jingxuan flipped through the letter, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
Looking at the letters with different handwritings, Shen Jingxuan was puzzled.
She had seen Shen Jiande's handwriting before, but she had never seen the handwriting of the other person before.
"Ah Xiao, take a look at these letters." Shen Jingxuan handed the letters to Xie Lingxiao.
There was not much content in the letter, and Xie Lingxiao finished reading it in a short while.
Xie Lingxiao was puzzled: "Xuan'er, there is no important information on it."
The letter that Marquis Anguo hid in a secret compartment actually did not contain any important information.
If that's the case, why did he hide it so secretly?
Shen Jingxuan was also puzzled: "Could it be that we are wrong?"
She looked at the vivid handwriting, which did not seem to be written by a man. The more she read, the more certain she became of her thoughts.
"Ah Xiao, look, is this a woman's handwriting?" Shen Jingxuan put the letter in Xie Lingxiao's hand.
Xie Lingxiao checked it carefully and read it several times, his dark eyes flickered: "Xuan'er, look at the last few words."
After Shen Jingxuan connected the last word of each line, it turned out to be the four words "executed in secret".
But I just read the letter written by Shen Jiande, and the content is well arranged.
Shen Jingxuan's eyes were slightly red, and the hand holding the letter was shaking slightly.
Although the letter did not mention who was secretly executed, Shen Jingxuan believed that it was related to her father.
Recalling when Shen Jiande was expelled from the mansion, he once said that the real person behind it would never be found.
And the fact that Shen Jiande had correspondence with Marquis Anguo, does that mean that Shen Jiande had already made arrangements to murder her father?
Shen Jingxuan kept thinking in her mind, trying to connect the whole thing together to see if there would be any new discoveries.
Xie Lingxiao saw her frowning face and couldn't help but feel a little stuffy in his chest: "Xuan'er, let's leave first and think about it carefully after we go back."
This matter cannot be rushed, they can only investigate slowly.
After all, in addition to Shen Jiande, there is also the participation of Marquis Anguo, and now there is a woman whose identity is unknown.
"Okay." Shen Jingxuan responded.
She pulled Xie Lingxiao out of the space, and the two of them came to the study again.
Shen Jingxuan put the letter back into the secret compartment of Marquis Anguo, and then thought of a few porcelain bottles. Shen Jingxuan opened them one by one to check.
"Axiao, why did Marquis Anguo hide the poison?" Shen Jingxuan asked.
After checking, she found that they were all slightly toxic drugs.
Although you won't die immediately, you will die if you take it several times.
Xie Lingxiao asked doubtfully: "Are they all poison?"
"This... yes." Shen Jingxuan tightened her grip on the other porcelain bottle.
This porcelain vase is not the one, but Shen Jingxuan doesn't want to tell Xie Lingxiao.
Noticing Shen Jingxuan's strangeness, Xie Lingxiao held Shen Jingxuan's hand: "This isn't it? What is it?"
Shen Jingxuan's pretty face turned slightly red instantly, and she dodged the hand that was holding hers uncomfortably.
She put the letter and the porcelain bottle back to their original places and pulled Xie Lingxiao out of the study.
Xie Lingxiao looked at Shen Jingxuan suspiciously, picked her up and returned to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
In Yuxuan Courtyard, the two returned to Shen Jingxuan's room together.
Shen Jingxuan asked in confusion: "It's so late, why haven't you returned home yet?"
It’s already so late. If we don’t go back now, it will be dawn soon.
"You're chasing me away?" Xie Lingxiao said angrily.
It was getting late, but he didn't want to leave and go back home alone.
"No, no." Shen Jingxuan smiled awkwardly.
Isn't that asking knowingly? Isn't what she said so obvious?
Xie Lingxiao approached Shen Jingxuan, his dark eyes staring at her closely: "Xuan'er, you feel guilty."
Shen Jingxuan retreated silently. She took a step back and Xie Lingxiao took a step closer.
By the time she realized she had nowhere to retreat, Shen Jingxuan was already standing on the edge of the bed.
Seeing what Shen Jingxuan was thinking, Xie Lingxiao held Shen Jingxuan in his arms, making her unable to move.
"Xuan'er, do you really want to drive me away?" Xie Lingxiao asked.
Did she really not want to be with him? She was so determined to drive him away.
Shen Jingxuan's eyes flickered: "I don't want to."
Is that something she wants to do or not? She was just afraid that Xie Lingxiao would ask about the bottle of medicine.
If Xie Lingxiao asked, she really didn't know how to tell him.
Xie Lingxiao kissed Shen Jingxuan's forehead: "Since you don't want to, let's take a rest."
Shen Jingxuan was shocked by her words. They were just talking nicely, why did they end up taking a rest together?
"No... ..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Jingxuan's lips were sealed, and she had to swallow the rest of her words back into her stomach.
Xie Lingxiao took a step forward. Shen Jingxuan had no way to retreat and fell directly onto the bed. Xie Lingxiao leaned over and covered her.
The kiss was light and lingering, and Shen Jingxuan was already gasping for breath.
"Xuan'er, what's in that porcelain bottle?" Xie Lingxiao panted, still unable to forget what Shen Jingxuan had concealed.
Xie Lingxiao leaned over to her ear, his breath spraying on Shen Jingxuan's neck.
"It's...it's poison..."
With his lips slightly open, Xie Lingxiao held Shen Jingxuan's earlobe and bit it gently.
"Hmm..." Shen Jingxuan couldn't help but moan softly, and her breathing gradually became rapid.
When he heard the low moan, Xie Lingxiao felt his blood boiling, and then he kissed Shen Jingxuan's cherry lips.
Xie Lingxiao deftly pried open Shen Jingxuan's teeth, forcing her to dance passionately with him.
