"No wonder you don't look down on my Dingguo Marquis Mansion, it turns out that you plan to climb another high branch." Lin Zhicheng held a folding fan and walked out from behind a wall.

Shen Qingwan smiled coldly: "I never knew that in addition to being flowery and romantic, the eldest prince of Dingguo also has a hobby of eavesdropping on people's conversations. ”

Lin Zhicheng disagreed: "You rejected Duan Yunqi, are you planning to climb the high branches again?" If you go up, you'll be the prince..."

"Is my business related to you?" Lin Zhicheng had a bad attitude, and Shen Qingwan's tone was not good: "You are from the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, and I am the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is no connection between the two, not to mention, Lin Gongzi has always hated marrying the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now that it is as you wish, you should be happy, why do you want to come to me for trouble?" ”

"Do you think Duan Yunqi is excellent?" Lin Zhicheng suddenly asked such a sentence without a head.

"At least emotionally better than you, he is a blank slate, and you, the flowers, can't see the original color." Shen Qingwan had no intention of talking to Lin Zhicheng too much, and walked forward quickly.

"Do you like people who are innocent?" Lin Zhicheng's eyes narrowed slightly: "Even if the relationship is pure now, I will take a concubine in the future......"

"That's better than marrying a merciful ghost." Shen Qing didn't reply at night, and the corner of his eyes swept to a familiar coat, Lu Haowen!

When she looked carefully, the distance was already empty, and there was no half a figure at all, could it be that I was wrong just now, although Lu Haowen is a teacher in the Hou Mansion, he is also a poor student, it is impossible to come to the palace to attend the banquet, it seems that I am really dazzled.

Shen Qingwan thought about things, didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment, turned the corner, hit a human wall coldly, subconsciously reacted, retreated, and apologized: "I'm sorry... Lord Wang..."Duan Yuyuan, why are you here?"

"What about Jiang Yining?" Duan Yuyuan's tone was as cold as ever.

"She went to the study to get the paintings painted by Concubine Jiang." The flower hall where he and Jiang Yining went out together, now he is the only one here, Duan Yuyuan asked, and there is nothing strange about it.

"Have you seen Duan Yunqi?" Duan Yuyuan was extremely smart, and after a little thought, he already understood the cause and effect of the matter.

"Yes." Shen Qingwan nodded: "Concubine Jiang was called to the front hall by the official department to greet the guests. "Look around quietly, if someone comes, you can find a reason to leave here.

"You're afraid of me?" Duan Yuyuan's gaze was like a sharp sword, and he could easily see through people.

"Nope." She wasn't afraid of Duan Yuyuan, she just didn't want to stay with Duan Yuyuan, he was too smart and too dangerous, and all the secrets were in front of him, and there was nothing to hide.

"Wow, this painting is so beautiful, like flowing water, never get tired of looking at it......" A person ran out abruptly from behind and hit Shen Qingwan hard, Shen Qingwan was caught off guard, walked forward a few steps uncontrollably, and fell into Duan Yuyuan's arms......

While being frightened, Shen quickly straightened up and retreated, away from Duan Yuyuan......

"Who is it who doesn't have long eyes and is blocking my way......" Jiang Yining's angry questioning voice stopped abruptly when he saw Duan Yuyuan and Shen Qing at night, and his little eyes instantly widened, and it took a long time to react: "That... When I don't exist, you continue to ......"

Saying that, Jiang Yining turned around and ran: "Yining got Concubine Jiang's painting?" ”

Just now, she had already sold Shen Qingwan once for the painting, and now, she was afraid of Duan Yuyuan and wanted to sell her again, how could Shen Qingwan let her get her wish.

"Hehe, I've got it." Jiang Yining turned around, raised the scroll in his hand, and smiled unnaturally, "What is painted on it?" Shen Qingwan walked over, took the picture scroll and opened it to see, the mountains and rivers are majestic, and it is indeed good.

"It's a beautiful painting." Jiang Yining was proud: "The men in the front hall just now were testing their literary talents, both calligraphy and painting, Lu Haowen, as far as the teacher in your family is concerned, not only is his literary talent superb, but his painting is also first-class......

Lu Haowen actually came here, it should have been brought by his father: "Your painting can't be painted by Lu Haowen." "There is no signature on the painting, and there is no seal, unlike the actions of aristocratic sons like Duan Yunqi.

"Clever, this painting is what he painted." Jiang Yining shouted in surprise, looked at Duan Yuyuan, was shocked, and instantly closed his mouth.

"Miss Jiang likes painting very much." Duan Yuyuan's voice was cold, with some special ingredients, Shen Qingwan didn't care, but Jiang Yining's eyes rolled sharply, thinking about the best answer.

"Yes, Yi Ning, you don't like to paint, why do you like to collect and appreciate paintings?" She was going to sell herself twice, and she also taught her a few words to let her remember it for a long time, but why did Duan Yuyuan teach her a lesson?

"I'm a special Bole, I only know how to appreciate, not how to paint." Jiang Yining put away the picture scroll, looked sideways into the distance, and didn't dare to look at Duan Yuyuan, Duan Yuyuan and Shen Qingwan cooperated so tacitly, just like they had practiced many times, it seems that this is the so-called fate, these two people are a pair made in heaven, Duan Yunqi's kid, he was afraid that he would be sad alone, and secretly wept, but there was no way, who made him not as good as Duan Yuyuan.

"By the way, Qin Yihan, the new champion, is also here, and his paintings are not bad, but compared with Lu Haowen, he is inferior, everyone in the front hall knows Lu Haowen, and even the prince praises him and rewards him for drinking......"

"It's not dinner time yet, what kind of wine are you drinking?" Subconsciously, Shen Qingwan noticed that something was wrong, Qin Yihan and Lu Haowen actually appeared in Yuwang's Mansion at the same time, would there be a conspiracy like the time in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"It's the elixir and jade liquid given by the palace, ordinary people can't drink it, the official department is still to encourage talented people to make more poems, so they use it as a reward, the winner drinks more, then Lu Haowen drank six or seven cups......"

"Come on, it's not good, someone has fallen into the water......" The maid's screams resounded throughout the Yuwang Mansion, Shen Qingwan's brows furrowed, and the ominous premonition in his heart grew: Something really happened!

"On this happy day, someone actually fell into the water." Jiang Yining took Shen Qingwan's arm and walked forward: "Wan'er, we." ”

By the pond, a little maid was placed on the ground, her face was pale, her whole body was soaked, her hair was messy, and her body was still warm.

When Shen Qingwan came to the pond, he saw such a corpse, but when he saw the appearance of the corpse, his face turned pale in an instant, because the little maid was none other than the one who was knocked down by her and broke the teapot.

"Look, what's in her mouth?" Everyone looked along the point of the exclamation little girl, only to see that the corner of the little girl's mouth showed a trace of red, because it was soaked with water, and suddenly it looked like it was blood, and after careful observation, it was found that it was a red silk thread...... "You, go and ask for a servant, a few of you, stand three meters away and guard, no one is allowed to get close to this corpse, and wait for the princess to come and decide." The little maid had been out of breath for a long time, and she was hopeless, a person who looked like a housekeeper arranged everything in an orderly manner, turned around, and apologized to Jiang Yining and Shen Qingwan: "There was a murder here, which disturbed the two young ladies, and I really apologize." ”

Jiang Yining waved his hand: "It's okay, go and get busy with you, we will take care of ourselves." Jiang Yining was born in a family of generals, and was not afraid of the dead, looked sideways at the pale Shen Qingwan, and suddenly remembered that she was the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and her writing was weak, different from herself: "Wan'er is afraid, then let's leave ......."

"I'm not afraid, I just feel that the life that was fresh just now suddenly turned into a corpse, breathless, and I feel a little emotional." Life is really fragile, and the ominous premonition in my heart is getting stronger and stronger.

After a while, Concubine Jiang and Concubine Min came, and the female guests in the flower hall also followed, but some elders such as the old lady and Mrs. Shilang did not come, and the daughters were timid, afraid of seeing the dead, but they couldn't help but be curious, and followed, and the moment they saw the corpse, many daughters screamed in fright, hugged the daughters on their sides, and didn't dare to open their eyes.

The little maid is a slave and maid, and it is under the jurisdiction of Concubine Jiang, so there is no need to alarm Concubine Jiang in this matter, but the exclamation just now spread throughout the entire Yuwang Mansion, and some male guests in the front hall who like to watch the excitement came here.

"How long have you been dead?" It was not Concubine Min who asked, but Concubine Jiang, Concubine Min was simple-minded, she couldn't handle this kind of thing, so Concubine had to come in person.

"Back to the concubine, the maid's body has not stiffened yet, and there is still residual warmth, at most a pillar of incense time." The butler-like man replied respectfully.

"Have you invited you?" The autopsy has to be done by a puppet.

"Back to the concubine, I have already sent someone to invite her, and I will come to the ...... soon"

Originally, the death of a little maid did not have to be so exciting, but today's situation is special, just in time for the banquet, all the nobles in the capital are here, plus Concubine Min had reprimanded this maid just now, if the Yu Wangfu does not thoroughly investigate the cause of the matter, it will inevitably be charged with harsh maids.

"Hey, didn't she bump into the maid of the county lord of Changning in the flower hall?" Lin Zhiyi, who came back to his senses, was the first to recognize the deceased.

"Isn't it her ......" Hong Lingyue and many daughters also echoed, their eyes intentionally or unintentionally, aiming at Shen Qingwan.

"Don't talk nonsense, Wan'er is gentle and kind, and will never kill." Liu Yuqing hurriedly defended Shen Qingwan.

"Miss Liu, we didn't say that Miss Shen killed the person, why are you in a hurry to pick it up for her." Hong Lingyue covered her mouth with a silk handkerchief and snickered.

"That's it, don't you be a thief!" Lin Zhiyi's hostile and disdainful gaze swept towards Shen Qingwan, before, the King of Chu paid a lot of attention to her, and now, Concubine Min is so close to her, it seems that she has taken her as her future daughter-in-law, and she is also the daughter of the Hou Mansion, why is she better than herself everywhere, she has long looked at her unpleasantly, this time, look at how she quibbles.

"Later, you said that you didn't kill people." Liu Yuqing was so anxious that she almost stomped her feet.
