Marchioness Brothel - Chapter 88

Prince House

The prince is at the top, and the first guest of honor sits in the seat of Ziyihou, and the guests on both sides are accompanied by feathers. On the table was a swallow wing mat, with abalone, sammon, wing belly and mountain delicacy seafood.

Ziyihou was accustomed to it, and didn’t have much interest in this. The only thing he moved his chopsticks on the whole table was a steamed sea bass. Although the condiment was only a few pieces of wild mushrooms, it was very delicious.

Seeing that Zi Yihou was rarely interested in a dish, the prince couldn’t help smiling and said, “This fish was caught by Qin Si’s people in the river before dawn. Then there was a clay pot mud stove on the boat, and the fisherman killed the fish immediately. Add the condiments and steam it in the pot before sending it to the house.”

“It’s thirty or forty miles from the riverside, and I walked all the way quickly on the shore, and the fish is ripe at the house. It really is a good idea.” The people around quickly agreed.

Zi Yihou just conjured up the spring plate, narrowing his eyes slightly: “The prince will really enjoy it.”

The prince said loudly: “Thanks to Qin Si, thanks to his fantastic ideas, I can enjoy so many delicious food.”

Qin Si immediately got up and knelt and thanked him: “His Royal Highness is serious. Weak ministers are naturally blessed and humble. It is our duty to share your worries with His Royal Highness’s sunshine and rain.”

If this is changed to someone else, it will be like a slapstick, a complete villain. It happened to come out of his mouth, coupled with a great appearance, outstanding conversation, sincere expression, everything seemed to be smooth and smooth.

The prince said with satisfaction: “You get up.”

Qin Si stood up and stepped aside respectfully.

Ziyihou Ju took a condescending look at Qin Si, but a beautiful face suddenly flashed in his mind. Suddenly, he smiled, his slender and white fingers were stained dark by the cyan jade wine glass, and he said slowly and honestly: “I heard that Qin Tanhua is the prince’s right arm and right arm, and I saw it today.”

Ziyihou is moody, extraordinary, and if he doesn’t deal with it well, he will worry about his life at any time. Qin Si showed just the right amount of panic: “Master Hou is absurdly praised, everything depends on the prince’s love, and the ministers will die.”

From beginning to end, Qin Si tried his best to show a look of sincerity and fear, as if extremely loyal to the prince. But after hearing about his “heroic deeds”, others unconsciously showed a look of contempt. A person who can sell sisters for glory, how can his character be better? The crown prince has obviously been very alienated from him, but he still doesn’t change his face, talks and laughs, and is really the most cheeky in the world.

Zi Yihou’s eyes were smiling. If a person wants to go down in officialdom, he must know when he should bow his head and when he should kneel down. In order to become Liu Yushi’s son-in-law, he did not hesitate to abandon Jiang Xiaolou, and then in order to please himself, he tied people into the Ziyihou Mansion. He did not explain the truth: people must be cruel when they should be cruel. When you want to climb up, if you feel burdened, you have to discard it without hesitation, regardless of whether the burden is a beloved woman or a dear family member. Only in this way can you keep climbing up, climbing to a high place, and get everything you want.

People don’t serve themselves and the heavens are destroyed. In all fairness, there is nothing wrong with Qin Si’s doing this. In the eyes of Zi Yihou, this is also the most appropriate interpretation of life and power, but no one would have thought that Jiang Xiaolou would come back strong and swallow up the Qin family a little bit.

Where there are many women, there are also many right and wrongs, arguing and arguing with each other, unconsciously revealing their ugly faces. However, women are also the cutest animals in the world, and they will reveal fatal enchantment and beauty inadvertently. Whether a woman who came for revenge should be funny or terrible depends on whether Qin Si can withstand the opponent’s counter-attack.

Zi Yihou smiled and raised his glass, drank it in one go.

The prince said broadly, “Okay, don’t be so sincere and fearful. Zi Yihou is not an outsider, so get up and take a seat.”

Qin Si sat down again after repeated humility. After a short pause, he smiled and looked at the prince and said, “Actually, this is nothing. I just borrowed someone’s idea. I heard that the rich businessman Xie’s family also used the same. The method takes mountain treasures, bamboo shoots and other things and transports them all the way back to the house. When the pot is boiling, the heat is still surging out, and the taste is extremely delicious.”

Hearing the words, the prince dared to say “Oh” with some interest: “Is that right? I don’t think the private wealthy businessmen would have such enjoyment.”

Opposite the hall is the stage. After dinner and tea, a maid presented the playlist and asked the prince to order the show. The prince casually said: “Qin Si, you are very proficient in this way, you can order for me.”

Qin Si clicked on the most popular Huangliang Yimeng, and as expected, the scores are intertwined, the singing is skillful and pure, and the actor’s performance is also euphemistic and exquisite. The prince looked at it for a while, with a smile on his face: “Where did this troupe come from? It’s really good.”

Qin Si smiled and replied: “This is the most famous Yangchun squad in the capital. It lists the famous players from all over the country and gathers the heads of each family. From top officials to farmers, fishers and woodsmen, they are vying to buy tickets into the garden to watch the show. Very good.”

The prince nodded and admired: “It is indeed not bad, a little better than the troupe in my house.”

However, Zi Yihou just lowered his eyelids and was not interested.

Qin Si pretended to be sorry, and sighed: “These are just ordinary theater troupes. Although they are prosperous, they are only among the people. I heard that there is also a theater troupe in the Xie family, which is supported by Master Xie himself. The actors in there are truly famous. , Deyi and Shuangxin.”

The prince frowned slightly. He had heard the name of the Xie family twice today, and his eyes fell on Qin Si without a trace.

Qin Si just smiled unconsciously, “How does Ziyihou feel?”

Xiao Guanxue didn’t say a word to the theater troupe, just holding a cup of tea, and slightly pondered: “This tea is a bit unique.”

Qin Si calmly said, “This is Kuishou tea. There was a record in the tea scriptures of the previous dynasty. It took the fragrance of nightshade and the sweetness of mountain springs, combining the two skillfully. To make this tea, use water. It’s also very particular. Normal mountain springs cannot be used. You must use the water from the world’s first spring. This spring is at the highest peak of the cloud and only receives rain and dew without pollution. It is the purest spring in the world.

Everyone nodded in awe.

Qin Si smiled extremely mildly: “Good tea is usually born in a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and becoming the spiritual things of the heaven and the earth. Of course, His Royal Highness and Lord Hou are true tea experts, so I don’t It’s ugly again. However, the only difference in this tea is the tea soup.”

Hearing this, the prince looked into the untouched cup and saw a camellia-shaped cloud rising. He couldn’t help but become interested: “This tea is really interesting. I have never seen it before.”

Qin Sihan smiled and said, “This is the unique feature of this tea. It is not an exaggeration that the tea sellers earn tens of thousands of dollars every day.”

One of the guests suddenly rang and said, “Prince, this is also the property of the Xie family.”

Someone agreed: “Yes, Xie Kanghe said that he is the No. 1 richest man in Beijing is not an exaggeration, but he acts low-key outside and has a lot of good relationships. Others don’t know that he closed the door and lived the fairy life of the Forbes Prince!”

The prince paused for a moment, then smiled slightly: “Father once said that in a peaceful and prosperous age, we must hide wealth from the people. This is also the wise father of the emperor…”

The tone sounds calm and calm, but his heart is very unhappy. Of course, the prince knows the grudge between Qin Si and Jiang Xiaolou. After all, this is Qin’s housework. Why should the dignified prince take care of such trivial matters. But seeing Jiang Xiaolou set off such a big storm, Qin Si mentioned the Xie family time and time again, although it meant to instigate separation, but if the Xie family is really luxurious, it is indeed worth noting.

Zi Yihou kept smiling, with a slight sneer in his smile.

Qin Si is indeed a villain, but such a villain is extremely harmful, staring at him like a body with bones. If this matter involves the Xie family, how will Jiang Xiaolou deal with it… It’s really interesting that you attack me when you come and go.

The prince coughed slightly: “Okay, let’s continue watching the show.”

“Yes, Your Highness.” Qin Si smiled slightly, and his long eyelashes fell gently, covering the strange and unpredictable eyes, and he looked like a gentleman.

Judging from his imaginary appearance, he would never expect that he would put up a long gate today to let the prince step into the game. This method is very dangerous, because the prince is not stupid at all, and it is easy to see through his mind. But Qin Si knew the prince very well, even if the other party knew his profound meaning, he would not ignore the vigilance of the Xie family. The Xie family of a Forbes prince is really a thorn in the eye.

The actors on the stage kept singing lingeringly, but not many people in the hall listened to the drama seriously. Such an excellent troupe is not the best, it’s a pity, it’s a pity…

Zi Yihou came out of the prince’s mansion, as if inadvertently said: “I can’t hear the movement of Jiang Xiaolou in these recent days.”

The man hurriedly lowered his head: “All the news has been sent to Master Hou’s case. Maybe you are busy with your business and didn’t notice it for a while.”

“It seems that it has been really lively these days—”

The visitor immediately reported: “Qin Tian’er entered the palace and became the princess of Yanping County. A few days later, the King of Yanping County was suddenly killed, and Qin Tian’er was searched for in the whole city. Then she died unexplainedly while on the way to escape. Rumors in Beijing, Qin Thinking is to please the Prince An’s mansion, he did not hesitate to poison his own sister and pretend to be awe-inspiring. There is also a rumor that the second elder of the Qin family was heartbroken and his daughter died tragically, and Tan Hualang completely fell apart. I want to go back to my hometown again.”

“Oh, Qin Si actually has such courage, he is really a talent.” Zi Yihou’s eyebrow smile showed a hint of evil, he likes vicious people, because such people are worthy of struggle. After a long time, he sighed slightly: “This play is getting better and better, don’t you think?”

Three days later, the palace

The prince entered the palace specially, and accompanied the emperor in the study to enjoy tea and gossip.

The emperor smiled and said: “Why do you have time to come into the palace today to speak with me?”

The prince respectfully said: “Under the rule of the emperor today, Haiyan Heqing is beautiful and prosperous, and the son is happy for the emperor, and specially prepared a gift for the emperor.

The emperor was very pleased: “The prince is interested, take it up and have a look.”

The four eunuchs worked together to present the gift, which was covered tightly with a huge red silk, only the outline could be seen vaguely. The emperor walked up with great interest and lifted the red silk with his own hands. A sculpture of a city landscape carved with white marble appeared before his eyes. There are two gates in the east, south, and north. The height of the city wall and the design of the city gate are all reduced in proportion to the size of the capital. The entire sculpture is centered on the tall tower, row upon row of shops in the city, pedestrians in the street, endless streams, and the vast scene is amazing.

The prince took a weird transparent mirror: “Father, you can see more clearly through this.”

This is a carefully designed magnifying glass. The emperor can see the original appearance of the sculpture through the mirror. There are hawkers on the streets, young and beautiful business women, officials riding tall horses, and carrying baskets. , Bare-footed ascetic monks, there are children in the buns playing on the street, there are wealthy children in the restaurant, men, women and children, men, women, old and young, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, three educations and nine ranks. The scene slowly spread out. Under the magnifying glass, the facial features and expressions of pedestrians are carved very finely, which is amazing.

The more the emperor watched, the happier he was, and he admired again and again.

The prince smiled and said: “To complete such a huge project, the requirements for jade are very high, and there is no room for cracks. Therefore, the sons and ministers sent people to search for a long time. First, they invited Hanlin University scholars to paint, and then carefully selected fifteen. A first-rate jade craftsman in the country, he used a special thin knife to sharpen the blade sharply and sculpted it with great effort day and night.”

The emperor couldn’t help but rejoiced and said, “Yes, I have never seen something like this before. You are really bothered.”

Sculpture is second, the most important thing is that the prosperous capital of the capital makes the emperor Longyan joyous. The prince smiled and lowered his eyes. This jade sculpture was sent by Qin Thought to win the favor of his majesty, and it was really thoughtful.

Suddenly I heard the emperor smile and ask: “This family house…looks very prosperous.”

The prince followed the emperor’s fingers, and saw the house, pavilions, pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, exquisite and luxurious. At first glance, it was by no means inferior to the prince’s mansion. The sculptor seemed to be very careful in carving, even with five doors. They are all carved very clearly.

“The Crescent River surrounds the house like a dragon pan, and the West Mountain looks like a tiger from afar. It is really a treasure of geomantic omen.” The emperor sighed after looking at it for a long time.

“My father was right. This house was built on the tail of a water dragon. It has a very good feng shui. It is said that even the water introduced into the house only flows in and does not flow out, which is the way to collect money.”

It is said that there are two dragon veins in the capital when building houses and gardens. The first is the earth dragon, which is the dragon vein of the imperial palace; the second is the water dragon, which refers to the line of the moat. .

The emperor’s face became gloomy: “Whose house?”

Hearing the words, the prince was taken aback, then smiled faintly: “This is the residence of the emperor merchant Xie Kanghe.”

I thought that the emperor would be furious, but when he heard the words Xie Kanghe, the emperor was silent, as if a pot of dry wood that was about to burn was suddenly poured down by the downpour.

There was a strange feeling in the prince’s heart. He just said: “I ask my father to forgive the children. Xie’s family is a wealthy man in the world. Let’s talk about the distance from Beijing to Yizhou. He has countless shops. It’s amazing how many tens of millions of money are accumulated. A small businessman can actually accumulate such a huge wealth. I don’t know how many people have been exploited…”

When he talked about the words Minzhimin anointing, he keenly noticed that the emperor’s brows were frowning tighter, and the emperor muttered, “It’s not as serious as you said.”

The prince sighed, “Frozen three feet is not a day’s cold. Not only is Xie Kanghe rich, he has also been trying to win over the corrupt ministers of the DPRK and China to seek protection. It used to be seen that he paid countless amounts of silver to the treasury every year, but his ministers have never I am especially concerned, but now it seems that just a house is so extravagant, it can be seen that this person is really the moth of the country.”

The emperor’s expression was a bit cold, and he was no longer enthusiastic: “You mean—”

The prince said earnestly: “Originally, the emperor had good intentions. He wanted to cultivate his health and keep his wealth in the people’s hands. But if all the wealth is concentrated in one person’s hands, then it is against your original intention. According to the son, this Xie Kanghe I am afraid it is too arrogant.”

However, the emperor turned around and walked slowly towards the jade seat, slowly.

The prince stared at his back, doubts arose in his heart. If the emperor father must have been furious in the past, Xie Kanghe, a businessman in the district, had such a luxurious mansion. Isn’t the father wary of such an unabashedly rich man? What’s more, as long as Xie Kanghe died, wouldn’t the treasury become more full-he didn’t say this blatantly, and the emperor must have known it too.

The emperor walked back to the throne and said with a cold expression: “The prince is really worried. What does it matter if a businessman builds a big house.”

The prince frowned slightly: “Father, Xie Kanghe built a jade pond, built a beautiful garden, cherished delicious food every day, and hugged him before going out, the prince of Toby. With money, he will want power. He is powerful and ambitious. , I’m afraid it’s wrong…”

The emperor smiled slightly: “All the merchants are my descendants. I give them rich days because they can satisfy me. Look at these years, building rivers, opening roads, providing relief to the victims, leveling the borders, etc. Big businessmen don’t donate money? The richer they are, the better for us.”

The prince took a step forward unwillingly: “Father’s words are reasonable, but the sons and ministers are just worried that they are too powerful.”

The emperor sneered coldly: “Too big? I am the master of this country. They are all a group of slaves. The slaves live a good life, and they will be more loyal to the master and work harder to work for me. Which fisherman thinks the fish is too fat? Is it true that which groom will think that horses are too strong, and which farmer thinks that there is too much grain?”

The prince’s heart shuddered, and the emperor was unwilling to do anything to Xie Kanghe. Why? It suddenly occurred to him that Xie Kanghe is no more than a small number of merchants, living such a luxurious life, and it has been maintained to this day. Could it be that he has been favored by His Majesty…

The crown prince said calmly: “Father’s words are right, but the sons and ministers are too worried.”

The emperor waved his hand and said, “As a prince, don’t always be entangled in the minutiae. Think more about how to serve the country and the people, and share the worries for me.”

There was a burst of irritation in the prince’s heart. Qin Si sent the jade carving today obviously had a different mind. If not, why did Xie Kanghe’s mansion be particularly prominent, and the result was that he was criticized by his father. He sneered in his heart, but said with more fear on his face: “Yes, Father.”

Coming out of the palace, Qin Si was waiting for him at the gate of the palace. The prince was angrily and reprimanded: “You are so brave, you dare to act on the gift of the emperor!”

Qin Si was taken aback, and immediately replied: “Returning to your Highness, all the ministers are considering everything for your Highness, and there is absolutely no selfishness, let alone any manipulation of jade carvings!”

The prince sneered coldly: “You think I’m a fool? Why is Xie Kanghe’s mansion extravagant? It’s not that you dare to use it for public revenge, but it’s really bold!”

Qin Si quickly pleaded: “His Royal Highness didn’t know anything about it. It wasn’t that the minister deliberately highlighted Xie Kanghe’s mansion, but it was indeed extremely luxurious. If your Highness is interested, you might as well go and see how Xie’s house is–”

The prince waved his hand boredly: “Well, I am not interested in those things about you. Today, the father has a clear will, and the Xie family cannot move.”

Qin Si “cocked” in his heart. He tried his best to make the emperor and the prince aware of the danger of the Xie family, but in a few words, the prince actually said that the Xie family could not move. Why? But for a small businessman, is there any special reliance behind it!

He stepped forward and looked at the prince and said, “Like Xie Kanghe, why can’t you move?”

The prince’s expression was cold: “Since the emperor has made the will, you and I will follow the decree. Why are there so many? The Sacred Heart is unpredictable!” After he said these words, he flung his sleeves and left, never looking at Qin again. Think about it.

Qin Si stood there thinking for a long time, no, this is not right! Over the years, the emperor has attacked countless wealthy businessmen just to plunder their wealth and fill his own treasury. The emperor’s behavior is so, the officials underneath naturally rush to follow suit. The wall fell and everyone pushed, if it weren’t for this, the Jiang family wouldn’t be defeated so quickly, but why the emperor did not move the Xie family so long. After so many years, the Xie family can still maintain such a luxurious life, which is really amazing. He turned his head and looked at the palace. What kind of secrets are hidden in the pavilions, the magnificent places? How is Xie Kanghe different? It deserves the emperor’s special treatment, just because he is an emperor merchant? No, it’s impossible!

The more Qin Si thought about it, the more annoyed he became. Although he was unwilling to waste his hard work, he was helpless and told the carriage way: “Go back to the house.”

Jin Yu Man Tang

Jiang Xiaolou went downstairs to inspect, and Li Xuening was embroidering in the house alone. He heard Xiaodie come in and report: “Miss Li, someone outside is looking for you.”

Li Xuening was taken aback, stood up and said: “Look for me, I don’t know anyone in the capital, what do you want to do with me?”

Xiaodie shook her head questioningly: “Do you want to invite the lady back?”

Li Xuening thought for a moment: “I can handle this little thing myself, don’t call her, let’s go see the customer.”

Arriving in the elegant room for meeting guests, I saw a middle-aged beautiful woman in brocade and Chinese clothes sitting in the hall, followed by two young and beautiful maids in Tsing Yi. Seeing Li Xuening coming in, she stood up excitedly and lost her voice: “Xue’er.”

Li Xuening looked at the gentle middle-aged woman in front of her, a little strange but inexplicably familiar. She had a heartbreak, but there was no sign of her face, she just smiled and said, “This lady, I wonder if you are looking for Xue Ning. What’s the matter?”

Concubine Qing couldn’t hide her excitement, and almost jumped over to hold her hand, but there were too many people around, it was really not a place to talk, so she said: “I have something to tell you alone–”

Li Xuening looked at the other party sincerely, nodded, and instructed everyone who had been serving them to retreat: “I wonder if Madam has anything to say?”

“I’m here to look for my daughter, you–my daughter!” Princess Qing no longer had any scruples, stepping forward to hold her hand.

Li Xuening was shocked and stepped backwards, her face turned pale: “Who are you?”

The servant girl next to Princess Qing said quickly: “Miss, this is Princess Qing.”

Li Xuening couldn’t help but widened her eyes, her face was full of disbelief.

“Child, I am your mother, why stand there motionless, don’t you want to see me?”

Li Xuening suddenly mentioned it, her eyes couldn’t hide her excitement, she was about to step forward subconsciously, but in a flash, she saw Princess Qing dressed gorgeously and described as noble, but her heart sank. She paused, and then took a few steps back: “Wang Hao, you and I are very different in identities. It is absolutely impossible to be your biological mother and daughter. You must have admitted the wrong person.” It’s not that she has not searched for it over the years, and every time is a disappointing ending. , How could her biological mother be a valuable princess…

Princess Qing’s eyes were always gentle and quiet, with the love and compassion that her mother had, she unconsciously and eagerly stretched out her hand to Li Xuening: “No, I won’t admit my mistake this time.”

Li Xuening looked at her crystal clear and soft gaze, a little bewitched, and walked a few steps tightly, as if to put his palm in her palm, but stopped inexplicably.

Princess Qing looked at her with sadness in her eyes. She had lost this daughter for a long time, but whose fault was this? She looked at Li Xuening’s soft face, and felt her eyes sting so badly, as if she was about to cry in the next moment: “Xue’er, don’t you know your mother? I did look for someone to miss, but never Through this strong feeling. Almost from seeing you at first sight, I am convinced that you are my daughter! I believe you also feel this way, right?”

Li Xuening’s body trembled, “I, I don’t…how can a person with a humble background be the blood of the princess.”

Princess Qing has always sent people to investigate Li Xuening’s situation secretly, but there is a huge crowd, and only with such a face similar to her, there is very little information available. So she didn’t wait any longer, and came to the door without hesitation, wanting to verify the incident herself. Li Xuening’s reaction made her surprised or even disappointed, but she thought that she would be unbelievable after seeing her for many years, and she said softly: “Xue’er, don’t you remember, when I was a child, my mother used to hold you and admire the flowers in the yard. Listening to the sound of the wind, my mother sings to you and sings your favorite nursery rhyme. Nikko sees Yan Nanfei, but the old man’s heart is broken. Looking at the star last year in the north, who is the cold star this year, I want to bring a flower one Duo, thank you for the hundreds of flowers on the helpless mountain, who are the celestial beings to beat, hear the sound of drums from the sky—”

This is a nursery rhyme that has been circulated in the folks for a long time. The husband who went on the expedition has been away from home for many years, and the wife missed him at home, and compiled this nursery rhyme with rich meaning to coax the children. The soft and gentle voice seemed to instantly open up her long-lost memory, and Li Xuening subconsciously received: “In the past, no one can ride a good bow and a steed horse. So far, I miss when you will die…”

“Tears flowed into the long night,” Princess Qing clenched Li Xuening’s wrist tightly, excited: “You remember it, don’t you?”

Li Xuening hadn’t spoken for a long time. She lowered her head and watched Princess Qing holding her palm. The palm was so hot and so warm that she almost subconsciously wanted to nod her head to admit that, yes, she remembered this nursery rhyme and also remembered her mother’s. Face.

“I…I am…”

Can she admit it? No, no, if Princess Qing knew about her past, how would she be hit? The so-called confession of relatives may become a big joke. What the princess needs is a lost daughter, not a young woman in a brothel. In the end, she just smiled bitterly: “This nursery rhyme is circulated everywhere. Not only will the princess celebrate it, but I will also sing it. There is nothing strange. The princess cannot rely on this to say that I am your daughter, not to mention— —I have an impression of my own mother, she passed away when I was three years old, so the princess must have admitted the wrong person.”

Princess Qing was startled, and then she felt sad: “No, I don’t believe it, how is this possible?” She stared at each other closely, and said: “Are you still blaming me? I’m wrong, if not mine Negligence, you should now be in the Qing Dynasty Mansion, take good care of yourself, why do you want to show your face outside, can you forgive your mother?”

When she said the words to show her face, Li Xuening’s face completely changed, her lips were faintly pale, and she barely clenched her fists to restrain the violent shaking of her whole body. Immediately, she seemed to make up her mind, saying: “Wang Hao, I really don’t know you, let alone where your confidence comes from. I’m sorry, we are a restaurant here, and we are open for business. Please don’t disturb the guests, that’s it. Leave, I am not your daughter, and I will never be.” After that, she told Xiaodie: “Send off the guest.”

Princess Qing grabbed her sleeve tightly: “If you don’t believe me, show me your left shoulder. In addition to the mole underneath, there is a small red mole in your shoulder!”

“Wang Hao, you are a person of prestige and status. You can enjoy all the glory and wealth when you become your daughter. How can I not admit it? Please go back.” Li Xuening cruelly threw her hand away and walked away.

Princess Qing burst into tears and her figure was crumbling. The maid next to her hurriedly supported Princess Qing and comforted her: “Wang Hao, let’s go back first. It’s not too late to look for the princess after we find the evidence.”

“Xue’er, my Xue’er! Why don’t you recognize your mother?”

Concubine Qing’s words lingered in her ears, Li Xuening covered her ears and ran back to the backyard quickly. She ran into someone at the door and quickly wiped away her tears. He smiled and said, “Xiaolou, are you back?”

Jiang Xiaolou looked at her, turned his head to look at Xiaodie who was out of breath, and finally caught up with Xiaodie, and asked in a deep voice, “I heard someone came to Xuening, what happened?”

“It’s okay!” Li Xuening, who had always been quiet and elegant, answered first.

“Princess Qing… Princess Qing said that Miss Li is hers…” Xiaodie hesitated, his face flushed.

Facing Jiang Xiaolou’s smiling eyes, Li Xuening didn’t speak for a long time. After a while, she had to admit: “Yes, she mistakenly thought I was her missing daughter, so she came here specially.”

Jiang Xiaolou asked seriously, “Xue Ning, are you?”

Li Xuening’s Qingying eyes faintly burst with tears, but her face smiled, and her smile was infinitely ironic: “Xiaolou, is it possible that Princess Qing was confused for a while, and you were confused too? Who is she, and who am I? How could a humble woman like me be the princess’s biological daughter? Are you kidding me? How dare you ask, how did the princess fall into the brothel, so that she was wounded all over her body, and died soon?”

Jiang Xiaolou looked at Li Xuening, with sympathy and compassion in his eyes unconsciously. At this moment, she seemed to be able to feel the desperation in Li Xuening’s heart, and she just smiled and said, “Xue Ning, I just want to tell you that even if she died soon, she has the right to recognize her biological mother.”

Li Xuening faintly lowered her eyes, and her long feather eyelashes covered the sadness in her eyes: “The princess said that if it weren’t for her negligence, I would not fall into the ranks of the people. I would live in the palace aloft and hug from behind. In the main life, she also said that doing business is to show her face and endure all the hardships. Think about it, I just opened the door to do business, and the princess feels ashamed. If I tell her, her biological daughter will fall into a brothel and suffer humiliation. What do you think of her? Will she feel grief or despair, will she be willing to accept a daughter like me?”

Jiang Xiaolou is not Princess Qing. I don’t know what decision the other party will make. If she sympathizes with Li Xuening’s experience, it is of course a good thing to pity her more. If the other party can’t… Xue Ning will be hurt more. Instead of facing an unmanageable situation at that time, Li Xuening is willing to look at Princess Qing silently and tell her that everything is just a misunderstanding.

Knowing how much Xue Ning hopes to meet her biological mother again, Jiang Xiaolou has been secretly helping her find her relatives. However, after so long, nothing has been achieved. Now that hope is in sight, Li Xuening refuses to take this step anyway. If Xue Ning were just a daughter of an ordinary family, if her parents were impoverished and unable to live, they would definitely accept Xue Ning’s daughter. At least, she can now provide the other party with enough money, instead of being a shame of being famous.

Jiang Xiaolou sighed softly, with a gentle voice: “No matter what you decide, I will support you.”

Li Xuening’s expression was extraordinarily strong, and solemnly said: “I said that I would be with my best friend for the rest of the day, so don’t worry about others.” After that, she turned and entered the house, no longer facing Jiang Xiaolou’s gentleness. But insightful eyes.

The back of Li Xuening’s departure was particularly bleak and empty. Jiang Xiaolou looked at it for a while before saying: “Xiaodie, do you think Princess Qing is really Xue Ning’s biological mother?”

Fluttershy said: “The slave and maid are really taken aback, just from the appearance they are seven points similar.”

Jiang Xiaolou nodded: “If this is the case, things will become more complicated. Starting today, unless Xue Ning wants to, don’t let anyone disturb her.”

“Yes, miss, slave servant obeys orders.”

Xiefu Study

Jiang Xiaolou came to visit Xie Kanghe on purpose. He still couldn’t think about it, and he couldn’t help speaking: “It’s hard for you to have a heart, but it’s a pity that I’m not strict with myself. This kind of thing will happen. It’s really unfortunate.”

Jiang Xiaolou smiled and said, “Uncle can’t control everyone’s thoughts. There are always people who are greedy and unpredictable, right? Don’t think too much, just take care of your body.”

Xie Kanghe nodded, just about to say something, but suddenly saw Wang Baozhen stepping into the study, his face sank: “Who told you to come in without notification?”

Wang Baozhen showed an aggrieved look. She used to need to be informed when she entered the study. Now the master treats her badly… But now it is not time to care about this, she calmed down and said, “Master, there is something important. The fourth young lady has been arguing and refused to shave, but she suddenly agreed yesterday, but she ran away in the dark when the master in the temple was not paying attention…”

“How could this happen!” Xie Kanghe stood up in shock, “Isn’t there two mothers watching?”

“When she left, she took away the gold and silver jewelry, saying it was a thought, but… the two mothers were also missing.”

Obviously, Xie Yu bought the guard to escape. Xie Kanghe sank down on the chair and sighed: “It’s because I am not good. I will not teach my daughter to teach her to be what she is now. If you make a mistake, you don’t know how to admit your mistake, but you only know to blame others. Now you are running away. I am really disappointed, very disappointed.”

However, Wang Baozhen persuaded: “Master, the same rice raises hundreds of people, you can’t force everyone to have a good heart. It may not be a good thing for the fourth young lady to escape, and it won’t be a good thing for the fourth lady to escape, and it won’t be a good thing to think of her in the future.” Send the money, it’s better to run like this!

Xie Kanghe was helpless. Xie Yu did such a vicious thing. He was already lenient for not sending her to the court. He didn’t expect that she escaped from the nunnery. How could he discipline him? He couldn’t discipline him anymore. Let her go.

Jiang Xiaolou kept listening with a smile, but finally said: “Uncle, the fourth lady has extreme temperament and abnormal behavior. When I persuaded my uncle to send her to the government office, my uncle couldn’t bear it. Now it has been verified that she has no repentance. If this is the case, she should be brought back and severely punished, otherwise thousands of years will be harmed.”

Xie Kanghe nodded and said: “If the order goes on, just say what I said. If anyone catches Xie Yu, he will be rewarded with a thousand taels of silver!”

Xie’s house guards searched again and again and finally found a bank in the capital where Xie Yu’s biological father, Liao’s family was born. Jiang Xiaolou expected that Xie Yu would definitely seek the help of his biological father if he wanted to escape. It’s a pity that they waited at the gate of the bank for two days and couldn’t see Xie Yu’s shadow, which was very strange. However, on the third day, Xie Yu finally appeared at the door of the money house. Although he was dressed in ordinary clothes and slept with dust, he could not hide his natural beauty and stunning beauty.

As soon as the guard saw her, he immediately shouted: “Quickly, catch her!”

Xie Yu raised her head fiercely and found that four or five people were rushing towards her like wolves. She turned her head and walked faster and faster, and plunged into the crowd. The guards searched the crowd for a while, and finally found the back of a silver-red dress.

“Just there, hurry up!”

At this moment, a guard in Jinyi riding a big horse with a long sword on his waist holding a long whip, sternly yelled at the crowd: “His Royal Highness’s Luangjia is coming soon, all give way!”

Everyone was shocked, and they evaded one after another, as did the Xie Mansion guards. Seeing that Xie Yu was right in front of them, they couldn’t catch them, so they could only kneel down on the side of the road.

The majestic guards of the Prince’s Mansion rode ahead, while the Prince was surrounded by them. His clothes looked very ordinary, with only a jade belt tied around his waist, but it was even more graceful and graceful.

Looking at the prince, Xie Yu’s heart jumped wildly. She turned her head and stared at the four guards, biting her lip fiercely. If she was caught back, she would be a dead end. There is no other way, she must take the risk. , Maybe you can realize your long-cherished wish!

Suddenly, Xie Yu got up suddenly, before the guards woke up, she rushed out and fell to her knees, crying like blood: “His Royal Highness, the girl is wronged, please avenge me!”

The voice was sad and beautiful, and it could hit the center in an instant, making people unconsciously numb all over, and the prince was shocked.
