But She’s So Charming - Chapter 24

Mother Lu bowed and whispered in Anru’er’s ear: “Wang Hao, the spy is here, and I’m waiting outside now. Will you allow him to come in?”

“Let him in.” Anruer whispered.

After a while, I saw a man dressed in black with a two-inch scar on the corner of his eye walking in stride.

After all, this is the lord of the rivers and lakes who want money and don’t want to kill him. The princess did not dare to neglect him, so she asked Mother Lu to serve him tea.

“Princess Ying’an.” The man bowed.

Anjou said politely: “You don’t need these fake gifts. I ask you, what happened to what I asked you to investigate?”

“In the past few days, I turned into a drinker and checked in Junmengyuan for a long time, and I found out two useful news about Princess Yu.”

Anruer stared at him and said, “Then you say it quickly, no, you have to elaborate.”

“She was originally from Suzhou. She was sold to her mother-in-law by her biological parents four years ago, and was later bought by Hualou. Hearing that she was a beautiful country, the old bustard kept expecting her to go to the rich and powerful home to be a child. So I did not accept foreign visitors…but, the news about her was too little, so little that it was because someone deliberately made it. So I dived into the old bustard’s room and searched it, and sure enough, it turned over. I arrived at a roster in a box. Under the page of the word “Wu”, there was a handwriting that was crossed out. I found a teacher to recognize it, and the three words were Cheng Amber. “Speaking, the man handed this page of evidence to Anjou’s hands.

After Anjou took it, her eyes became straight.

She originally wanted to take five hundred taels to check a piece of news, but it was really not worth it, but only now did she understand what it means to pay for what you pay for.

“You just said there were two pieces of news, what about the other one?” Anjou said again.

“The other one, the princess naturally has to pay another one thousand taels.” After that, he looked at Anruer with confidence.

I have to say that this man really knows how to do business. He brought two pieces of news, one piece of news made people sweet, and the other piece of news would naturally follow the tide.

Anruer looked at the man’s unscrupulous gaze, and couldn’t help biting her back teeth.

She was investigating the private affairs of the back house. Once the other party offered the price, there would be no chance of retorting, or she might decide something would happen, “Mother Lu, give him the cash.”

Furthermore, one thousand taels, which is one Zhuangzi’s harvest in one year, if she can completely drive away the little bitch, she would be willing to pay a few more Zhuangzi shops.

I saw the man smiling and putting the money in his arms, and then continued, “In fact, the princess called to check this flower house underneath, and there is another person in the capital who is also checking.”

Anruer was stunned and said, “Who is it?”

The man replied: “It’s Mrs. Wu’anhou.”

Mrs. Wuanhou?

Anru’er thought about it for a long time before reflecting on it. That’s right, the Gu clan from Wu’an Hou’s family seemed to come from that place too, but… isn’t that person dead?

Anruer frowned and said, “What did the people she checked do to me?”

“The princess did not know anything. Although the Gu family of the Wu’an Hou family claimed to have passed away from illness, they were actually missing. This incident has been investigated for many years and has not been seen until this time when I came to investigate what you explained. I ran into someone by chance.”

“Who?” Anjou said.

“Her name is Yu Niang, a dance teacher in Hualou. I saw that she was wearing a veil all day, and she refused to take it off at night, so I followed her curiously for a few days. I waited until she took a bath at night, and I found out. Her entire face was ruined. She was excellent in dancing, and her appearance was ruined. She still appeared in Jun Meng Yuan. Presumably the princess can already guess who she is.”

An Ru’er was stunned by the news one after another, and when she was able to follow the ins and outs, she slowly said, “You mean… the missing wife of Wu’an Houping, is… Tang Wu’s teacher? And she hasn’t left in the capital all these years?”

“Exactly.”

Hearing this, the corners of Anru’s lips twitched.

It is true that blue is better than blue. Gu Mi made Wu’an Hou Mansion uneasy at the time. Now he has brought this little bitch. Is it possible to repeat history in Ying Wang Mansion?

Anruer knew that this matter was not trivial, so she asked Mother Lu to give the spy a generous amount of hush money, and asked him to stop the matter and not allow him to spread it out.

The spies saw that the princess gave him an extra sum of money, and the smile on his face increased. Before he left, he deliberately said to Anru’er: “Please do not look down on the people who come out of this flower house. Being in the mud and growing in the darkness, if you want to punish the person, you must first punish the heart.”

Anruer drank a cup of tea followed by a cup of tea, and she didn’t close her eyes until the third clock.

She weighed the evidence in her hand and thought of the spy’s words again, she couldn’t help but make up her mind…

According to King Ying’s temperament, Tang Wu should have known these secrets a long time ago. So even if she turned over the previous salting matter again, it would still be of no avail.

After all, men are like this. After sleeping in a bed for a long time, and sleeping comfortably, the whole heart will involuntarily turn away. Unless he can put the scandal in front of him, otherwise, he will never give up his mind for those gossips…

So since then, An Ru’er and Mrs. Wu’anhou’s contacts have gradually increased.

—

Two months later, Zhongxuguan was successful.

It is said that this battle was not easy. Only less than 40% of the soldiers who went on the expedition could return. The world knows that King Ying cherishes his subordinates the most. Every time he goes out, he never misses any armor or less. One point bounty.

Now that so many people have died, Anju’er can already imagine how bad his face should be. At this time, if anyone has an accident, it is provoking when the lion is angry, and it will only be bitten to death.

He will return to Beijing in three days.

Then… it’s almost time.

—

The next day, Mrs. Wu’anhou wrote a post to Anru’er, saying that she was telling her to go to Wu’anhou’s Mansion for a cup of tea.

While drawing her eyebrows at Tang Wu, Luo Ying wondered: “Why does the princess have to ask his wife to go to Wu’an Hou Mansion?” Dayan’s wife and concubine system has always been distinguished. This kind of entertainment that the mistress takes her concubine out of the house is really true. It’s rare.

Tang Wu sighed and said: “The war has been won. Today is the day to go to Longhua Temple to repay my vow. Mrs. Wu’anhou just happened to hand over this morning’s post. The princess said from Ying Wangfu to Wu’anhoufu, and then to Longhua Temple, this is all the way east. If you return to the palace to pick me up in the middle of the journey, you will easily miss the auspicious time for the incense.”

Tang Wu comforted Luo Ying and the others, but he was still uneasy.

Although every detail of this matter makes people unable to fault it, and it seems to be a helpless act, Tang Wu just feels that there is something unspeakable.

These two months have been extremely smooth, except that the season outside the window has changed, and it seems that she is living a repetitive life every day.

But after the news of the victory of the war came out, every yard started to have movement.

For example, Concubine Chu went back to her natal family for something.

For another example, today…

Only she and the princess were left.

After arriving at Wu’an Hou’s Mansion, Tang Wu said that she could just sit in the carriage and wait, but Anru’er still used various reasons to drag her in.

As soon as they entered the door, Mrs. Wu’anhou personally led them to the main hall.

“Hey, look at my memory, I have forgotten that you have to go to Longhua Temple today to pay your vows, and ask you to visit me in the morning. You can’t delay business.” Mrs. Wu’anhou said.

Anru’er smiled and waved her hand, “Last time I had to find someone to pay the vow, it’s not a moment, it’s not a matter of time, it’s time.”

After she was seated, Mrs. Wu’anhou waved to let people serve tea, and then said: “I have sent Nianqi to listen to the lecture of Mrs. Shen in the past two days. Now I can’t hear her chirping voice, and I suddenly feel that this room is in this room. It’s so quiet.”

Princess Ying responded with a smile.

Mrs. Wu’anhou said again: “It’s already winter in Beijing, and it’s the best time to pick tea. Some time ago, my mother’s family asked someone to give me a lot of Xinyang Maojian from Huainan. Longjing is better, and you guys should try it soon.” As he said, he gave Tang Wu a gesture of please.

Tang Wu didn’t know what Mrs. Wu’anhou was selling. This attitude is completely different from the last time I met at Longhua Temple.

She picked up the cup, poured the tea on the inside of her cuff, and took a fake sip.

At this moment, Mrs. Wu’anhou’s eyes scanned Tang Wu from top to bottom, and finally settled on the sachet on her waist.

She faintly said, “This…Where did this little lady’s sachet come from? How can you see that this pattern is exactly the same as Gu’s sachet?”

Gu’s?

When Tang Wu heard this, he couldn’t help but hit Ji Ling. Gu…didn’t he die of illness?

Could it be that… Wu’anhou had another wife named Gu?

Mrs. Wu’anhou ignored her doubts. She put down the tea cup in her hand and said to a woman outside: “Mrs. Guan, you can take this little lady to Gu’s yard and sit down, I’ll watch , They are very fate.”

Tang Wu felt that everyone’s face was weird, and instinctively told her that she shouldn’t get up and go to Mrs. Gu’s room. However, the strength of the maternal hand had to make her obey.

The Marquis Mansion in Wu’an is not small. After walking through four large yards in a row, Mother Guan’s hands were relieved, “Little Madam, please.”

She held her breath and looked forward. The room in front of her was not like the place where the concubine of the Hou Mansion lived, but rather like a warehouse that had been abandoned for a long time. As soon as I opened the door, there were still some cobwebs in the corner of the door.

Tang Wu stopped in his footsteps and didn’t want to go any further.

At this time, Madam Guan pulled her vigorously and shut her into an inner room.

There was nothing in the house, only a straw curtain.

Above the grass roller blind, lay a woman with a veil.

The woman is slender, with a sachet that looks exactly like her hung on her waist.

The corners of the woman’s mouth kept pouring blood out, and when she saw the incoming person, she raised her arm tremblingly and whispered.

“Wu’er.”

If there was still a trace of uncertainty just now, Tang Wu has completely understood it now.

Tang Wu quickly stepped forward and shook her hand, and sternly said to the door: “Come on! Someone is dying! Come on!”

“Wu’er, stop yelling… No one in this world can save a dead person.”

Tang Wu’s tears fell tentatively, and she whispered: “Yuniang, Yuniang.”

“Wu’er, remember what I told you, never, never fight your own life… Our lives are worthless… If you can make smooth pebbles, don’t be a needless stumbling block. In the end… it’s all the same. .”

Tang Wu slowly lifted her veil and saw her hideous wounds.

Suddenly she fell to the ground, from a low cry to a howl.

Why does Yu Niang wear a veil all year round, why does Yu Niang give her this sachet, why does Yu Niang never let her fight…

Now… she understands everything.

After a while, she raised her hand and closed Yu Niang’s eyes, then turned her head and looked out the window.

Sporadic snowflakes suddenly floated outside.

The dark clouds in the sky are stacked together like tiles, as if to light up everything around them in lead-grey.

Accept fate?

If it’s all dead in the end, then why confess fate.
