Chapter 87: The Fall of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei

When Mrs. Liao spoke, several girls pricked up their ears.

When she heard that it was about Liao Yulan's marriage, Liao Kanglan suddenly showed a smile on her face, and lowered her voice and said, "Sister, I will soon have a future brother-in-law......

Before she finished speaking, her hand felt a little hot, and she quickly retracted her hand with a sigh.

Liao Yulan casually picked up her overturned teacup, raised her head to look at her, and said lightly: "My sister cares so much, why don't you go over and talk to your grandmother?" ”

"Don't say it, don't say it." Liao Kanglan smiled.

Liao Yulan also smiled and continued to make tea according to Mama's instructions.

Shen Nianzhen didn't expect that a girl like Liao Yulan would be so calm, and at such a young age, she would be a little old-fashioned, so she couldn't help but look at her more.

Liao Yulan suddenly looked at her and said, "Sister Shen, there is one thing I want to confess to you." ”

"What's the matter?" Shen Nianzhen asked casually, while slowly stirring the tea soup in his hand, the posture was very elegant.

Liao Yulan bit her lip and said, "The last time Sister Shen left in the back garden of my house, my second brother picked up your handkerchief. ”

When Shen Nianzhen heard this, the movements in his hands were immediately paused.

Liao Yulan continued: "My second brother gave me the handkerchief and told me to return it to you, but unfortunately, when I asked the maid to clean it a few days ago, the handkerchief was lost. ”

"Sister Shen, I'm sorry." Liao Yulan said with guilt on her face.

Shen Nianzhen listened, put down the things in his hand, turned his head to look at the picturesque, and commanded softly: "Go and get it." ”

"Yes, miss." Ruhua immediately turned around and retreated.

After a while, he took back a brocade handkerchief embroidered with peach blossoms.

"This is it! I haven't returned it yet, why did it get to Sister Shen again......" The Liao sisters were surprised.

"To be honest, I don't know what's going on." Shen Nianzhen said lightly: "This handkerchief was returned to me by the second prince, and he already knows that it was picked up by your second brother." ”

"What? Is it the second prince? ”

Liao Kanglan and Liao Yulan opened their mouths together, and they were both shocked.

This alarmed the two old ladies on the side of the screen, and the voice of the old lady Liao came: "Yulan, Kanglan, what's going on?" ”

"It's fine." The person who opened his mouth to answer was Shen Nianzhen. She walked out from behind the screen with a smile and said to the two old ladies: "The weather is so good today, it will be boring to be in the house, if I take my two younger sisters out for a walk, I wonder if my grandmother can agree?" ”

Mrs. Shen only thinks that they are bored, and which of the little girl's family likes to be confined in the house?

Immediately waved his hand: "Go, go, remember to take care of the Liao sisters, they are distinguished guests." ”

"Got it, grandmother." Shen Nianzhen smiled sweetly.

Then he led a few girls in the house out together.

Old Mrs. Liao looked at her generous and beautiful appearance, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the eldest girl of the Shen family is becoming more and more outstanding, no wonder His Royal Highness the Second Prince likes her.

……

In the pavilion in the back garden, all the women sat down.

Liao Yulan frowned and thought all the way, and finally couldn't help but speak at this moment: "Sister Shen, what you said is true?" Is this veil really given to you by His Royal Highness the Second Prince? ”

"It's true." Shen Nianzhen smiled bitterly, and roughly recounted what Rong Chen came to the door to question, and said, "I don't know what the hell is going on......

"If what you said is true, then there is a thief in the Liao family." Liao Yulan affirmed: "This person deliberately stole the handkerchief from me, and unknowingly sent it to the second prince with the help of others, the purpose is to make the second prince misunderstand you!" Loathing you! In this way, the second prince will withdraw from the marriage......"

"There is such a person! It's so hateful! Be sure to find out! Liao Kanglan was angry when she heard this, and when she said that she was excited, she slapped the table hard.

But it hurts.

"You're always so frizzy! It hurts, right? Liao Yulan hurriedly took out a handkerchief, wiped her hands, then looked at Shen Nianzhen, and said in a deep voice: "Sister Shen, this matter is that my Liao family can't stand you, don't worry, I will definitely find out who did it as soon as possible, and give you justice!" ”

"It's all sisters, so it doesn't have to be like that."

Shen Nianzhen shook his head when he heard this, and said with a sigh: "This matter has not been spread outside, and I have nothing to lose, but when I think of someone calculating behind my back, I can't be at peace in my heart." ”

She said that this is the truth, and no one wants to be watched all the time.

Liao Yulan nodded immediately: "I won't be alarmed, you can rest assured." ”

Shen Nianzhen saw that she understood what she meant, and immediately smiled slightly.

When the ancestors and grandchildren of the Liao family left, it was almost dusk.

Shen Nianzhen personally sent people outside the gate, watched the Liao family's carriage leave, and was about to return to the house, when a person suddenly came out of the alley next to him, and was about to pull her skirt, and was quickly pushed to the ground by the picturesque eyes, shouting: "Who are you!" What do you want! ”

"Come and protect the eldest lady!"

The next moment, the guards at the door of Shen's house rushed over and protected Shen Nianzhen in the middle.

Shen Nianzhen lowered his head and looked at the woman who fell to the ground.

Her face was haggard and pale, because she was very thin, her eyes were very large, and there were too many whites of her eyes.

It's Shen Nianci.

After the last time she pretended to be a maid and infiltrated the Shen family, she appeared in front of Shen Nianzhen again.

"Big sister, you are so majestic!"

Shen Nianci fell to the ground, looked at her with a desperate expression and said: "The second prince personally led people to copy the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and put the Zhenbei Hou and the prince in prison, Mrs. Lu hated me to death, and let people feed me poison, fortunately I ran ...... fast."

"What does all this have to do with me?" Shen Nianzhen asked coldly.

As the sun sets, the orange-red light in the sky shrouds her with a faint layer of gold, which makes her more and more slender, she just stands on the steps so casually, but her body exudes a dusty temperament.

Such a beauty suddenly made Shen Nianci feel ashamed.

The resentment in my heart was a little more.

"Sister, isn't it because you resent Lu Shizi and let His Royal Highness the Second Prince avenge you......" She slowly got up from the ground, stared at Shen Nianzhen, who was protected by everyone, and laughed softly: "You succeeded......"

"You're thinking too much." Shen Nianzhen's tone was cold when he heard this: "With that kung fu, I might as well make my life more comfortable." ”

After speaking, he turned around and was about to enter the house.

Shen Nianci's voice came again: "Shen Nianzhen! Do you really think you've succeeded? Until the end, it is uncertain who will win and who will win, and who will die! ”

Shen Nianzhen paused.

Shen Nianci's laughter sounded behind him, as if he was crazy.

She immediately walked forward without stopping, all the way back to Liuzhen Pavilion.

In the evening, when she was reading a medical book under the lamp, she was uneasy, and after refilling the tea twice, she couldn't help but ask: "Miss, are you worried about the second prince?" ”

It is worthy of being picturesque, and in a word, it is to the point.

Shen Nianzhen's face flushed, and he immediately retorted: "Who is worried about him!" ”

As he spoke, he picked up the medical book and continued to read, but his brain was blank.

Miss's mouth is really hard......

Ruhua glanced at her, sighed slightly in her heart, and then put down the tea bowl and retreated outside the screen.

Shen Nianzhen read the book for a while, but he couldn't read it, so he simply put it down and went to lie on the bed.

Naturally, you can't sleep.

Shen Nianzhen simply summarized what happened during this time, but whenever she wanted to concentrate, Rong Chen's smiling face would break into her mind, and she couldn't get rid of it......

Before I knew it, I fell asleep.

Early the next morning.

As soon as Shen Nianzhen woke up, Ruhua brought back a powerful news, the verdict of Zhenbei Hou came down, and it was decided and executed in seven days.

"Miss, you don't know! The Marquis of Zhenbei used to be high in the sky, and he always didn't take people in his eyes, but now he is going to be beheaded in public, and the people of Shangjing have to go to the vegetable market to watch it! "Picturesque eyebrows fluttering.

Shen Nianzhen only snorted.

Then he asked: "Do you only kill the town of Beihou?" What about Lu Yiming? ”

"Your Majesty said that the corruption case of the Marquis of Zhenbei, the land invasion case, etc., has nothing to do with Lu Shizi, as long as the Lu family has paid the silver money that has been embezzled over the years, Lu Shizi will be released!" Picturesque said: "The Hou Mansion of Zhenbei has already spent money to redeem him." ”

"He's really cheap." Shen Nianzhen smiled when he heard this.

Now the struggle between several princes in the court is fierce, and the ministers in the court and the central government have watched and stood in line, and this time the matter of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is just a victim of the struggle between the second prince and the third prince.

What a case of corruption, what a case of encroachment on land, it is just being used by others.

Presumably, the emperor also knew this, so he only killed the Marquis of Zhenbei and took back the title, but did not raid the Lu family.

I just don't know what role the three princes played in this matter?

Lu Yiming is his man......

Shen Nian was really thoughtful.

Just thinking about it, the picturesque outside rushed in excitedly: "Miss! Miss! His Royal Highness the Second Prince is down! ”

Rong Chen is here?

Shen Nianzhen's hand shook, and some of the water in the teacup spilled out, she quietly grabbed the handkerchief on the side and wiped it clean, then turned around and asked, "Are you in front of the gate now?" Have you already gotten out of the carriage? ”

"The people have arrived at the gate of Chunhui Courtyard!"

So fast!

Shen Nianzhen raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Okay, you go and tell your grandmother, I'll go out." ”

When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, looked down at the goose-yellow spring shirt on her body, and saw that both cuffs were stained with ink, which was stained when she had just written notes.

Shen Nianzhen suddenly hesitated, should he change his clothes and go again? Isn't it rude to wear this?

As he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a cough.

Shen Nianzhen hurriedly raised his head, and saw Rong Chen standing in the courtyard not far in front, wearing a dark green robe embroidered with dark bamboo leaves to set off his body like a bamboo, Zhou only had a jade pendant on his waist as an ornament, standing in the warm sun with his hands behind his back, his eyes were like paint, and his lips had that familiar indifferent smile.

Rong Chen, the second prince, who has always been high-profile and flamboyant, is wearing such a plain dress today?

But I'm used to seeing such gorgeous and extravagant dresses, and occasionally such outfits look extraordinarily handsome.

Shen Nian was really stupid.

Still picturesque couldn't help but gently tug at her sleeve on the side, and said, "Miss, please come in and sit down, he has been standing for a long time." ”

Shen Nianzhen sobered up at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile to beckon Rong Chen into the main hall.

Rong Chen had been staring at Shen Nianzhen all the time, and when he saw that she was so stupid, a smug look suddenly surged in her heart, it turned out that she was not indifferent to herself!

He couldn't help but think of the love poem of his crush before......

The smile on his lips grew stronger.

Shen Nianzhen was horrified by his smile, after returning to Beijing, he kicked the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and he came here again, what is it for?

Before she could think clearly, Rong Chen had already sat down in the main hall room, making him tea, while Rong Chen stared at Shen Nianzhen and smiled.

Unable to stand the burning gaze, Shen Nianzhen coughed lightly and asked Ruhua, "What is the old lady doing now?" Shall I take the Second Highness down to greet her? ”

"No need." Rong Chen slowly spoke: "This palace has already seen the old lady just now. ”

"Oh......" Shen Nianzhen sighed.

There is no last excuse now.

"I think you've heard about the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei." Rong Chen said slowly: "You...... Will you blame Hongu for being too ruthless? ”

That's what I'm here for!

Shen Nianzhen listened, hurriedly walked to the next position and sat down, and said with a smile: "How come!" The Lu family has today, it is all their own fault, and their greed is insufficient, and this result is already cheap for them! ”

"But your fourth sister has a marriage contract with Lu Yiming." Rong Chen's eyes sparkled.

"The second room has been separated, and their affairs have nothing to do with me." Shen Nianzhen's tone was cold, and there was even some schadenfreude.

She is not a saint, and she has to be soft-hearted when she sees the enemy who caused her family to die tragically in her previous life.

"You...... Hate Lu Yiming? ”

Rong Chen stared at her for a long time, and then suddenly asked.

Shen Nianzhen was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly put away the emotions on his face. Then he replied, "I don't hate, because I'm doing well now." ”

"Yes, there's no need to hate that kind of person." When Rong Chen heard this, a smile appeared on his lips.

Immediately, he slowly stretched out his hand towards Shen Nianzhen.

"What?"

Shen Nianzhen looked at him in surprise: "I don't owe anything to the prince?" ”

"Pretending to be stupid!" Rong Chen said confidently: "This palace has been out of Beijing for three days, don't you want to miss it?" Didn't you write a letter to Hongu? What about faith? ”

Shen Nianzhen: "......"

"Your Highness, you have only been out of Beijing for three days, and you haven't been back for a year and a half, where can you write letters?" She said helplessly.

"In the past three days, you haven't thought of this palace?" Rong Chen's face suddenly turned long, and the anger in his eyes slowly gathered.

"Got it thought!" Shen Nianzhen hurriedly nodded like pounding garlic, stood up like a dog, leaned behind Rong Chen, picked up two small powder fists, and massaged his shoulders lightly: "It's just that I was thinking in my heart, I didn't think of writing a letter, next time, next time I will definitely not forget!" ”

Rong Chen stiffened.

The girl behind her leaned very close, and there was a very good smell of light medicinal fragrance, which was very fresh.

"You've been visiting the old man again recently?" Rong Chen slowly closed his eyes, enjoying Shen Nianzhen's service.

"No, two days ago, there was something at home, so I asked the master to come over and help, and when I left, he gave me some herbs, and I planted them in the backyard." Shen Nianzhen replied slowly.

"Looks like you're having a good day."

Rong Chen opened his eyes and glanced at her.

Shen Nianzhen stopped what was in his hand, thought about it, and replied, "Yes, I am very satisfied with the current living situation." ”

"But after you get married, I'm afraid life won't be so leisurely." Rong Chen looked into her eyes and said, "So, enjoy the last bit of your benefit in your mother's house." ”

"The wedding date has not been decided, and it is nothing ...... me to marry two years later," Shen Nianzhen muttered in a low voice.

"What did you say?" Rong Chen asked.

Shen Nianzhen hurriedly grinned and showed a big smile, and said, "I said that in the future, I want the prince to take care of me more." ”

"That's pretty much it." Rong Chen showed a look of satisfaction, closed his eyes and leaned back: "Don't stop, keep pressing, by the way, sing a little song to your master." ”

That's a lot to ask for!

Shen Nianzhen rolled her eyes speechlessly.

Half an hour later, Rong Chen fell asleep, and when he was asleep, there was less slaughter around him, and he seemed to have a little more intimacy.

Shen Nianzhen didn't dare to move him, so he had to ask Ruhua to bring a thick blanket and cover him, then got up and walked out of the room and went to Chunhui Courtyard.

Since Mrs. Shen's last 'misunderstanding' incident, as soon as Rong Chen came, she asked Mama Zhou to stay outside the Liuzhen Pavilion to prevent the young children from doing anything unforgivable.

As soon as Shen Nianzhen came out, he saw Mama Zhou, and was immediately a little surprised: "Mama, why are you here?" ”

Mama Zhou's face was full of embarrassment when she heard this, and her mouth was hesitant: "...... Miss, the old lady asked the slave to come over and see if there is anything you need here......"

Shen Nianzhen understood it at once, and couldn't help but be angry and funny.

"Alright, come with me to see Grandmother." She said.

"No, eldest lady, you can guard the Second Highness, in case he wakes up later and doesn't see you angry." Mama Zhou hurriedly waved her hand, and lowered her voice and said, "You are a good boy, I will talk to the old lady when I go back." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Shen Nianzhen to say anything more, she hurriedly left, she was so old, and she walked quickly.

Shen Nianzhen: "......"

In Chunhui Courtyard, the old lady listened to Mama Zhou's report, and the expression on her face was very helpless.

"According to common sense, Zhen'er and His Royal Highness the Second Prince have crossed the line, but forget it......"

"Old lady, the eldest lady is not that kind of person, you worry too much." Mama Zhou persuaded: "In this way, in the future, I should put my heart back in my stomach......

"How can I have peace of mind? Look at Shen Nianci! What happened to her! Old Lady Shen sighed and said, "What kind of evil has our Shen family created......

At this moment, Shen Nianci, who was sighed by Mrs. Shen, was standing on the street in front of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.

But in just one day, this gorgeous and magnificent, prestigious and prestigious Mansion of the Marquis of Xianyao has become an empty mansion, and the people in it have already moved out, the Marquis of Zhenbei is waiting in the prison to be beheaded tomorrow, Mrs. Lu is angry and afraid of falling ill, so she forced her body to sort out all the money in the mansion and hand it over to the official mansion, where she rescued her son who was dying of beating.
