The autumn wind in the back mountain of Bailu is very cold.

Pei Guichen looked at the weak woman in his arms.

After a while, he remembered the painting hanging in the study in Xiao Yunzheng's villa.

It was an autumn morning, and the Bailu Mountain Road was shrouded in mist and rain.

A figure in a frosty tea-colored skirt, holding a bamboo umbrella, playing in the water.

He once asked Xiao Yunzheng who the woman in the painting was.

She is my sister. When he said this, it was hard to imagine that General Xiao, who had just crawled out of the sea of ​​blood and smoke, looked at the painting with unexpected tenderness.

As everyone knows, Xiao Yunzheng has only one sister, who is from the same mother as him.

That is the young lady of the Xiao family, the famous Bodhisattva beauty in Jiangnan, Xiao Jingyue.

At that time, Pei Guichen walked closer to the painting on the wall, recited the answer over and over again, and recalled over and over again the little girl in the dilapidated temple in the mountains who had taken good care of him for several days.

He could never forget her, the way she walked towards him when he was dying, as gentle as the moonlight.

And he didn't dare to miss it, staring at the painting on the wall and sketching it for a long time.

His savior should indeed be the woman in the painting.

It turned out to be Miss Xiao.

Xiao Jingyue. Indeed, she lives up to her name.

He recited the name carefully and silently countless times.

But right now, at this moment, I have been reborn.

His suspicions finally became so serious that they could no longer be ignored.

"From now on, the autumn will be colder and rainier, so don't go out and play in the water anymore."

Pei Guichen clearly looked concerned, but Xiao Jingyue was anxious.

She could see clearly that Pei Guichen was testing her.

Because it was Po who liked to play in the water, not her.

But then Xiao Jingyue changed her mind and tried to comfort herself. It was just a handkerchief. Even if Pei Guichen became suspicious, she had to insist that she was the one who saved him in the ruined temple.

Moreover, she was indeed in the dilapidated temple at that time.

If Pei Guichen asked about the details, she could tell them all and would never reveal the truth.

What's more, she was pregnant with his child.

"Well, Jing'er knows the importance of this." Xiao Jingyue smiled sweetly, "For the sake of our Yuan Zhao's safe birth, I will definitely not jump around like I did before."

In the darkness behind the Bailu Mountain, in the carriage.

Xuanji grabbed the car curtain and sneered angrily: "I didn't expect Pei Guichen to be gentle and considerate in front of Xiao Jingyue."

Bao remembered his past life vividly, and he agreed with it so much that he couldn't help but nod in agreement.

It indeed rained in the last two days of the month.

The ghosts in Prince Xiao's mansion were causing more and more weird things.

Because of the evil spirits and treacherous things, the people in Jiangnan City were in panic.

Zheng Zhen'er used the excuse of a haunted house to copy thousands of poison recipes and ordered her men to spread them randomly on the streets with masks on. In an instant, a huge wave of controversy arose in the Jiangnan literary world.

King Xiao Shen of Jiangnan has a high status and great reputation.

Someone mentioned that Xiao Yunzheng had previously claimed that King Xiao was murdered, and he rejected all objections in the Xiao clan ancestral hall and insisted on thoroughly investigating the sudden death of King Xiao.

"Prince Xiao, what did you find out?"

"No matter what they find out, if it was really the princess who poisoned her, could Prince Xiao personally send his biological mother, Princess Xiao, to the guillotine?"

For a while, there was a lot of discussion.

And Xiao Jianghe sent several visiting cards to the brothel.

On the day when the transaction was agreed with Baicha, Wanwan came with a visiting card.

"Xiao Ba insisted on seeing Miss Yuan again."

"No!" Suddenly, A Bao remembered the urgent letter from Zhao Chuan Ce that he had just received, and a thought came to his mind, "Wait! Go back to Xiaojiang River, and see you on Yueqin Island at noon tomorrow."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Lanheng happened to come back from the government office.

"We have found the girl in blue shirt that Your Highness was curious about earlier." Zhang Lanheng checked the calligraphy that Xiao Jing'er handed over while accepting A Bao's hot tea. "Her surname is Feng Sui, and she is a girl who is studying in a private school disguised as a man. She is a talented person with a good character and a potential for development."

Hearing this, Abao thought about it seriously.

"It is inconvenient for me to show up during this visit to Jiangnan."

"I'd like to trouble you to meet Miss Feng and see if she is willing to walk the single-plank bridge."

Zhang Lanheng agreed, hesitated, and then said, "I met Mr. Wen today."

When he heard it was his grandfather, Abao fell silent.

Zhang Lanheng only knew that Abao moved into the villa very suddenly, but he didn't know the inside story. However, seeing that Abao was obviously sad, he carefully avoided this matter for the past few days.

However, this time it was Mr. Wen who personally asked him to deliver the message.

"You suddenly packed up and left Bailu Mountain without leaving any reason."

"I haven't seen you for the past two days, so Elder Wen came to me to ask about your whereabouts, and whether you had a sudden whim and ran off to play somewhere else."

Hearing this, A Bao stared at Zhang Lanheng warily and asked, "How do you answer?"

Seeing this, Zhang Lanheng comforted him in a gentle voice: "Of course I don't know anything. But before leaving, Mr. Wen asked me to bring you a message if I see you."

"If I return to Jiangnan, I want to see you."

Upon hearing this, A Bao guessed that Mr. Wen was planning to talk to her about Xiao Jingyue.

After all, Xiao Yunzheng had mentioned in the study that day that she would never let Xiao Jingyue go, and there had been many incidents in the Xiao Palace recently, so Old Wen must have guessed that it was related to her.

Seeing that Abao remained silent, Zhang Lanheng sighed, "You don't plan to see Elder Wen again in this life?"

A Bao admitted: "For now, I don't want to see him."

Zhang Lanheng suddenly understood and nodded, "Sir, I understand what to do."

Changing the subject, Zhang Lanheng talked about Xiao Linglai's death.

After risking his life, he had the opportunity to formally intervene in the affairs of Prince Xiao's Mansion.

Thanks to Zheng Zhen'er's interference, the coroner under his command was able to perform the autopsy smoothly.

Eventually, traces of the poison recipe were found in King Xiao's corpse.
