Peasant Woman is in Her Prime - C161
The case of the crown prince was handed over to the Seventh Prince Zhao Yao as the head and the justice courts as the side to assist.
Because it was someone that the Seventh Prince had invited, the Supreme Court’s Shaoqing, Bai Ruyi, personally came to check the crimes in the package and made a record of them. He then followed Yu Su all the way to the Rainbow Garden and saw that she had been locked up in the stone hut.
During this time, Bai Ruyi asked Yu Su many times about Yu Su’s motives and the origin of the silver needle.
There was no other way, Bai Ruyi could only send the guards of the justice courts to guard the Rainbow Garden stone hut first, and wait for the results of the Seventh Prince’s interrogation.
After Bai Ruyi left, Jin Xiaolou smiled lightly: “His name doesn’t sound good. Bai Ruyi, Bai Ruyi, everything has gone smoothly, it sounds very tragic.”
Gao Lang helplessly shook his head and introduced him to his wife: “This Bai Ruyi is from the Humble Class. Father made grass shoes, Mother brought fish for sale. But who would have thought that he would become a great figure in high school and become a second in command of the justice courts at a young age. His path as a official can be said to be a blessing in disguise! ”
“Oh, in that case, a hard worker.” Jin Xiaolou couldn’t help but praise him inwardly. She had always admired people who worked hard to advance while being unreconciled to their fate, perhaps because they were similar and attracted to each other.
Jin Xiaolou and Gao Lang stood in front of the stone house and chatted. This stone house was called a room, it was made from Green Peak Stone, it was square and round, other than a steel door, it was airtight, it was pitch black inside, there was not even a hint of light.
This room was originally used by Rainbow Garden to imprison servants who had committed heinous crimes.
Once a person was locked in this dark room, without knowing how much time had passed or where they were going to go, they would be like a bottomless black abyss. Even they themselves would not be able to figure it out after a long time. He could only feel himself continuously falling, but he would never be able to land.
Dark silence was the most terrifying torment, it could easily destroy a person’s will.
He didn’t need to be tortured at all. After being locked in here for less than three days, he would be able to make a person obediently surrender and tell him everything that he needed to say.
Gao Lang waited for Yu Su to reveal the mastermind behind all of this.
A cool breeze blew past, rustling the bamboo forest in front of the stone house.
Suddenly, a “gulp” sound could be heard, as if a bubble had emerged from a spring.
Gao Lang lowered his head and looked towards Jin Xiaolou’s stomach, only to see Jin Xiaolou’s face blushing red.
Gao Lang smiled again and quickly clasped his hands together, “Since my wife is hungry, it’s my fault. I immediately called for someone to come over to my wife’s favorite cheese.”
“You … “Why are you …”
Jin Xiaolou’s eyes were opened wider than a copper bell, her taste had always been varied. Previously, she loved to eat tofu cakes, then, she liked to burn jade with cheese, then, she used to eat osmanthus cake, and now, it was cheese cake.
How could Gao Lang guess it so accurately?
“How would I know?” Gao Lang pulled Jin Xiaolou along and headed towards the Lovers Hall, “I know my wife’s everything like the back of my hand.”
Saying that, Gao Lang looked up at Jin Xiaolou’s body, all of the hairs on her body started to tickle.
Before she could even take two steps, she was suddenly captured by Gao Lang. “My wife, I’m hungry too. Why don’t we go back to my room?
Hearing this, Jin Xiaolou shook her head suddenly. She had been busy the whole night, and had not recovered her strength from last night. Was this Gao Lang made of steel? Why wasn’t he tired?
“I’m not going!” Jin Xiaolou saw that she was getting further and further away from the Lovers Hall, so she hurriedly said, “This … In this broad daylight, closing the room without sunlight can be detrimental to physical and mental health. Why don’t we go see the peach blossoms! Right, go see the peach blossoms! “Look at the flowers, don’t be so full of yourself!”
Hearing that, Gao Lang immediately stopped and turned around, staring at Jin Xiaolou with interest: “So my wife likes this! It’s better to be in the wild, be it bigger or even better. It seems that I still don’t understand my wife enough! ”
Gao Lang immediately changed directions, hugged Jin Xiaolou and headed towards the back of the mountain. “I know a lot of good places.
This… Why does this sound so weird … This time, Jin Xiaolou even felt hot air coming out from her pores.
This Gao Lang, what a cold person he normally looked like, how did he become like this in front of me … So … It was hard to say.
Just as he was about to leave the garden and walk towards the back of the mountain, a crisp voice sounded behind him, “Innkeeper!”
“Ai!” As if she had met her savior, Jin Xiaolou immediately turned her head, only to see Lv Yun running frantically towards him.
“Shopkeeper, I just returned from the Linlang Workshop …” Lv Yun still had not recovered his breath.
Gao Lang could not wait any longer: “If there is nothing important to do, then go and busy yourself. Your shopkeeper still has something to do!”
Lv Yun glanced at Gao Lang, and then looked at Jin Xiaolou: “Yes, I do!”
The moment the words left his mouth, Gao Lang’s heart was already letting out a long sigh. Why is this Lv Yun the same as Chang An?
It was always at a critical moment that things went wrong for him!
“What’s the matter?” Jin Xiaolou flung Gao Lang off and headed towards Lv Yun.
“I …” Lv Yun then looked at Gao Lang, the hesitation in her eyes was enough for Jin Xiaolou to realize that he was somehow connected to Gao Lang, and was able to see that his manager did not hide anything, thus he took a deep breath and slowly said: “When I came out of the Linlang Workshop, I just happened to see Wen Mei entering the Liusu Pavilion.”
Due to the crown prince’s funeral, all of the entertainment performances in the wattled fences had been suspended. The Liusu Pavilion was still open for business every day, but it was only adding tea for people to sit down on.
This Wen Mei actually went to the Liusu Pavilion? This matter was not big, nor was it small.
It was just that Wen Mei had followed him, and Nan Yang had followed him since he was young.
“Liusu Pavilion?” Gao Lang had already started frowning, and walked with Jin Xiaolou towards the Lovers Hall, “Lv Yun, tell Nan Yang to get some cheese cake, and tell him that I’m hungry.”
“Yes.” Lv Yun nodded and turned to leave.
Gao Lang and the crown prince might have a deep friendship, but it was not necessarily so. After all, the two of them had been separated since they were young, and would rarely see each other throughout the year. However, Gao Lang treated the crown prince with sincerity, right now he was fully focused on finding out the cause of his death and bringing the culprit to justice, just because the crown prince was also his mother’s child.
He did all of this for his mother.
Gao Lang sat in the Lovers Hall as he carried a plate of cheese up. Behind him was Wen Mei who was carrying a cup of tea.
Just as Nan Yang placed the plate on the table, Gao Lang took out a piece and gave it to him.
“Madam, I’ve added rose candy to the cheese. It can both nourish your face and taste good. You will definitely like it.”
As soon as Nan Yang finished speaking, Jin Xiaolou looked up at her, only to see Nan Yang smiling gently, extremely respectful.
Jin Xiaolou squinted her eyes, and took the tea cup from Wen Mei.’s attitude towards him had completely changed, which made her surprised.
When Wen Mei came closer, she sniffed lightly and frowned.
The fragrance of the roses was mixed with a faint, deep, and serene fragrance, so faint that it was almost undetectable.
But Jin Xiaolou had smelled this smell just now, and it was coming from Yu Su.
“Are you still busy with the matters in the garden?” Gao Lang took a sip of his tea, put down his cup, and asked casually.
“Not at all.” Nan Yang bowed, “A few days ago, I was extremely busy, and now that I have free time, I specifically ordered Wen Mei to go to Liusu Pavilion to ask the new pastry master, to learn how to make dessert fruits.”
Nan Yang lowered her eyes, and revealed the traces of Wen Mei’s actions.
“I heard that the dim sum master is from the south, I think that since Madam is also from the south, if Wen Mei can learn some of the food from Madame’s hometown, she will definitely make Madam happy.” Nan Yang continued to smile, “The method to add the rose candy in the cheese is something that Wen Mei just learned.”
Jin Xiaolou bit off the cheese, “I heard that there’s a number one girl in the Liusu Pavilion called Yu Su. She was born with a beautiful appearance, and she also had a good singing and dancing skills, I wonder if Wen Mei saw her on this trip?”
Wen Mei hurriedly said: “No, I did not. When I went to go, Miss Yu Su was not in the pavilion.
“Is that so?” Jin Xiaolou purposely revealed a face of disappointment, “I was wondering what Yu Su really looks like!”
As he said that, he suddenly raised his head, and looked straight at Nan Yang: “Nan Yang, then have you seen her before?”
Nan Yang shook her head with a low laugh: “There’s even less. I haven’t even been to that Liusu Pavilion before.”
