第227章 心意(一更)
沈延川突然打断她的话,眼帘微抬,漆黑清冷的眸光落凝在她身上,平静之下却又似乎波澜暗蕴,仿佛有什么将要挣脱束缚,喷薄而出。

叶初棠:“……”

以沈延川的人脉,她可不信他没听过京城最近最近甚嚣尘上的关于她和他的那些传闻。

沈延川看着她,似是漫不经心地开口——

“再者,谁说那是谣言?”

……

气氛悄然微妙。

叶初棠眼睫微动,默默咽回了喉间的话——这话她可没法接。

沈延川静静打量着对面的女子,想要从她的脸上窥见哪怕一丝的情绪波澜。

她聪慧无比,自然是明白他那句话之所指。

说出那句话的时候,他想过许多种可能,偏偏眼下这种,是他最不想看到的。

像是一滴水落在海里,未曾掀起分毫动静,便无声消融,好像什么都没发生过。

沈延川眉目微敛,修长的手指轻轻在膝上敲了敲,看着面前少女淡然恬静的容颜,第一次感觉到了什么叫束手无策。

换做其他女子,即便心中无意,听得这样的话,也难免红脸。

唯独她,毫无反应。

谁也猜不到她心中所想,无法捉摸,甚至连靠近,似乎都无比艰难。

“世子今日派人半道劫了韩桐,可有大碍?”

叶初棠话锋一转,便聊起了其他的事。

沈延川盯着她看了好几秒,终于淡声开口:“叶二小姐这是在担心本世子?”

叶初棠:“……”

她微微一笑,殷切客气:“您今天救了我的命,我自然是关心您的。何况,韩家找出的那些证据,极有可能与我爹娘阿兄当年遇刺一事有关。”

滴水不露,大方得体,却像是隔着一层看不见的屏障。

沈延川顿了顿:“放心,昨夜我已请示陛下。”

果然是上面那位的意思。

这本来也在叶初棠的预想之中,不过听沈延川这么说,她还是轻轻吐出一口气:“那就好。”

要彻查当年之事,仅凭她和徐凤池,实在要费上许多力气。

但若是上面知晓猫腻,那么就算只是出于颜面考虑,也绝对会彻查到底。

借风而起,往往能省下不少功夫。

叶初棠明白,她要做的,不过是抛出引子,只待时机成熟,自会有人替她成事。

叶初棠撩起马车帘子,朝着外面看了一眼,乌黑莹润的星眸微微眯起。

此时刚过午时,阳光正好,洒在她的容颜之上,像是上好的羊脂玉,温润细腻。

这也就衬得她纤细脖颈上的血痕越发刺目。

这个动作牵动伤口,令得叶初棠微微蹙眉。

“嘶……”

沈延川心头微动,不自觉身体前倾:“怎么,可是伤口又疼了?”

叶初棠回头,眸中略带诧异。

旁人也就算了,依沈延川的眼力,不该看不出她刚才是装的啊——怎么说他也是为数不多见过她动手的人。

再者,他久在北地,边疆战事也曾见过不少,又怎么会瞧不出她脖子上那只是一道浅浅的皮肉伤。

此时瞧着,他眉宇之间竟似乎带着几分未曾遮掩的紧张。

尽管转瞬即逝,却不容错认。

叶初棠坦诚道:“那倒不是。就是回去的晚了,不知小五吃的怎样,这时间该午睡了。”

沈延川:“……”

侯爷的掌心娇是朵黑心莲
Author:

Heir of a traditional medical family, Ye Chutang rolled through life for a lifetime, only to unexpectedly die just as she was about to inherit. Reborn, she only wanted to be a slacker and live a carefree life. Unexpectedly, at the beginning, she suffered a critical blow: her parents and eldest brother were assassinated, leaving her with three younger siblings. The third brother was seriously injured, the fourth brother was in a coma, and there was also a baby crying for milk. She weighed the cold steamed bun in her hand, looked despairingly at the sky, and thought that managing three at once was worse than starting over. The little baby tugged at her pant leg. "Hungry." Ye Chutang: "..." Get up and work! ...Ye Chutang’s plan was perfect; once she raised the children, she could retire and enjoy her later years. Yet, a man had different intentions. "Miss Ye, after all these years, shouldn't there be an explanation?" Ye Chutang: "6." You used to linger at my doorstep and now it’s my fault? ... The Ye family was impressive: Ye Sanlang was the top scholar of the current dynasty, Ye Si-lang had made great military achievements in the northwest, and Ye Wu girl had a commercial empire rivaling the rich and powerful. Only Ye Er-girl was busy raising her younger siblings, unknowingly aging and facing difficulties in marriage. Until one day, the powerful Duke of Dingbei, Shen Yanchaun, arrived with a bridal procession ten miles long to welcome her. Ye Chutang remained silent for a long time. "This time, you take care of the kids."
