Chapter 226 What Went Wrong?

The next morning, Jiang Shuyue looked a little haggard because he hadn't slept all night.

Things from her past life kept flashing through her mind, and of course, most of them were about Xiao Lin.

She was too embarrassed to see anyone in this horrible state, so she put on some light makeup and dressed appropriately and went to the teahouse as agreed upon.

With the two Chen brothers accompanying him, Yan Jiu would have been willing to follow him, but Jiang Shuyue didn't distrust Yan Jiu. It's just that the less you know about some things, the better.

Old Mrs. Yan had finally waited for him to come back, so there was no need for her to get involved again.

"General Pei."

Jiang Shuyue pushed the door open and saw Pei Shangxing sitting there.

"Sister-in-law, please come in." Pei Shangxing stood up quickly after seeing Jiang Shuyue, excitement visible in his eyes.

When he called her that, the sensitive Jiang Shuyue felt relieved.

The Chen brothers did not come in, but stood in the corridor.

Pei Shangxing waited for Jiang Shuyue to sit down and handed her a cup of tea.

The tea was no longer so hot, which meant he had been there for a while.

"Is your sister-in-law doing well on this journey?"

Jiang Shuyue nodded. "The two Brother Chens escorted me, and my sworn brother also accompanied me. Everything was fine along the way."

"That's good. I knew you would come, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. I guess the person who sent you the message is still on the way."

Jiang Shuyue was a little embarrassed. She really came here because she heard the news.

"It doesn't matter. Have you also heard about Xiao Lin's incident?"

Jiang Shuyue nodded. Xiao Lin had trusted them so much before that he told them his identity, so she chose to believe them, "Yes."

"I guess so. No one can sit still about this matter." Pei Shangxing sighed after hearing this, "Sister-in-law, tell me, what are your plans this time."

Jiang Shuyue's heart skipped a beat. Pei Shangxing didn't look like he was joking, but rather serious. "Brother, do you think this was planned by us?"

"Isn't it?" Pei Shangxing was stunned. "No way, why would Xiao Lin marry someone else? Isn't this your plan to cover up your mistake?"

Pei Shangxing looked at Jiang Shuyue's gloomy face, and his heart sank. "You don't know?"

"To be honest, brother, he never told me about this plan when he left. Did he have a smooth journey to the capital?"

"It went smoothly. Prince Li brought her back personally. The Emperor even held a banquet to announce it to the world. All the civil and military officials saw it."

Jiang Shuyue took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled. She told herself that she had to stay calm at this time. "Then what about your relationship..."

"Others don't know this, but Xiao Lin has been in Beijing for so long and has never met with us alone. We haven't even spoken to each other. I always thought it was just like what you did to the Tao family, a show for others to see."

"Then why did my brother send someone to inform me?" Jiang Shuyue asked.

"I just feel that even if it's just a show, you can't be missing. After all, you are his legally married wife, and he is isolated and helpless now. If you come, the two of us can discuss things with each other if we encounter any problems."

He really considered Xiao Lin in every aspect, and it turned out that Xiao Lin did not choose the wrong person.

But she still found something suspicious. Why didn't Xiao Lin contact the Pei father and son again?

Even if there are many eyes and ears, he still has a way to avoid them.

Coupled with his broken promise, Jiang Shuyue still felt a little uneasy.

Originally, she wanted to get some information from the Pei family so as not to disrupt their plans, but now, she couldn't wait to meet Xiao Lin.

"Don't worry, he's fine. As for the marriage, you have to listen to Xiao Lin's own explanation. He has always considered you in everything he did before, and he would never do anything to let you down. He must have his reasons."

Jiang Shuyue nodded, "I know, I believe him."

It’s not like Xiao Lin just found out about his life experience. He knew it clearly after he was reborn. But he still chose himself. He didn’t know what use he could make of him.

After all, in his eyes, I was still a country girl at that time.

"I'm just worried about him."

Pei Shangxing felt even more distressed when he saw that she didn't cry or make a fuss, and didn't even feel a little aggrieved. "Why are you worried about him? He has been living a very happy life in the palace these days. If I didn't know his true nature, I would have thought he was such an arrogant and extravagant person."

"What about Shen Zhihuan and Prince Li?" Jiang Shuyue didn't beat around the bush and asked them directly.

"Prince Li... because of his meritorious service in exposing Duan's concealment of the royal heir, and also because of his bringing back Xiao Lin, he received many rewards. In addition, he is indeed an outstanding person, so the emperor thinks highly of him."

It was pretty much the same as his previous life, except that his path was smoother in this one.

Jiang Shuyue did not interrupt Pei Shangxing and let him continue.

"Miss Shen Zhihuan's words..."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Shuyue asked.

"You really don't know?"

Jiang Shuyue was worried and asked, "Brother, why don't you just speak frankly?"

Could it be that she and Xiao Lin...

Jiang Shuyue couldn't help but think of their entanglement in their previous life.

"Miss Shen has done a great job in saving the Queen Mother, and now she has been granted the title of County Princess."

Jiang Shuyue was still waiting for him to continue, but found that he had finished speaking, "Is that all?"

"That's all. What else do you want to hear, sister-in-law?"

Jiang Shuyue really didn't know that Shen Zhihuan was granted the title of County Lady. She had been traveling all this time and had no time to take care of it.

"She and Xiao Lin..."

"What happened between her and Xiao Lin?" Pei Shangxing asked.

In fact, Jiang Shuyue didn't want to ask anymore. If there was really something, Pei Shangxing would not hide it from her.

"Are you asking if they were close?"

Jiang Shuyue smiled and nodded.

"We do have some interactions, but it's just a casual affair." Pei Shangxing was afraid that she would think too much, "Don't misunderstand, sister-in-law, Xiao Lin must only have you in his heart."

Although Jiang Shuyue did not ask directly about Xiao Lin's news, he knew a little bit, "Brother, I want to see Xiao Lin."

"Meet...meet, of course I have to meet." Pei Shangxing said.

Jiang Shuyue forced a faint smile, but it was not so cheerful, "I think it's better for us to meet in advance, can you help me..."

Jiang Shuyue stopped talking halfway. This was what she was thinking before she came here, but she had said so much that she had forgotten it. Now she couldn't meet Xiao Lin alone.

"I'll figure it out myself."

Pei Shangxing smiled bitterly and said, "Sister-in-law, how about I help you try?"

"It seems that either there are too many people watching him, or something is wrong. If that's the case, why should I hide it? I might as well meet him openly."

"When?"

Jiang Shuyue curled her lips, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. Let's do it today."

"today?"

"I'm afraid it won't work today. Prince Jing's mansion is hosting a banquet today and has invited many people."

Pei Shangxing said with a little concern.

Jiang Shuyue chuckled, "There are so many people, that's good, it's just the right time."
