Chapter 72: Aunt Shen's heart is at the tip

Today, the eldest prince Lan Jingcheng came to the Prime Minister's Mansion as a guest, and he was invited by the second lady Xia Ruxue.

This is a beautiful event, which indicates that the two of them are in love with each other, and their relationship is becoming more and more intimate, and it is even very likely that Xia Ruxue will become the future princess. But now that Xia Jinse said this, Xia Ruxue was inexplicably suspicious.

Her face changed, and she said, "I invited the eldest prince to come over as a guest, but why should I harm the eldest prince?" ”

In order to confess her heart, Xia Ruxue's aggrieved Ying Ying bowed, bit her lower lip and said: "The eldest prince, Ruxue has absolutely no intention of harming you, I ask the eldest prince to see ......."

Lan Jingcheng hurriedly helped her up: "Ruxue doesn't have to be like this, this prince knows." ”

"Miss Xia, this prince believes that Ruxue will not harm this prince, as for the suspicion you said, it should be a coincidence. It may be that the Shen family inadvertently ate the ghost mushroom, but unexpectedly, the poisonous hair, Ruxue and the prince happened to pass by. The prince believes that there will be no one in the prime minister's mansion who will harm the prince. ”

"Thank you to the prince for understanding the righteousness, the old man is grateful." Xia Yanxiu hurriedly surrendered his hand, and then he was relieved.

"The eldest prince actually thinks it's a coincidence? There are so many coincidences in the world. ”

Xia Jinse didn't give up, hooked his lips and said: "If I hadn't arrived in time, my father would have executed Aunt Shen on the spot, she died unjustly, and she was also charged with murdering the prince, who would avenge her?" But...... It seems that I guessed wrong before, it's not that someone wants to harm the eldest prince, but that he wants to harm Aunt Shen! ”

"You said, where did the ghost mushrooms that Aunt Shen ate come from?!"

The last sentence was cold, and the frightened Piao Sui immediately knelt down: "Spare your life, master, eldest lady, the slave has been serving Aunt Shen, and she has never dared to slack off." The mushrooms that Aunt Shen ate today were also bought by the slave maid on the street, and the slave maid didn't know that it was a ghost mushroom, and the slave maid did the whole process, and no one else came. ”

Zhao said gloomily: "Since no one else has come, it means that you have turned your back on your master and wants to poison Aunt Shen!" ”

"Slaves don't! Slave and maid wronged, big lady! The fluttering kept kowtowing, and the forehead that had just healed was red and swollen again.

"Mother doesn't have to jump to conclusions."

Xia Jinse spoke again: "Piao Su has been with Aunt Shen for so many years, if you want to harm her, you would have done it a long time ago, how could you wait until now?" And there must be a purpose for harming others, Aunt Shen is dead, and Piao Xu will be punished as her girl, why should she harm others and herself? ”

Zhao was speechless when he said this, Su hesitated for a moment, and said: "What the eldest lady said makes sense, but since it is not Piaofu, then who wants to harm Aunt Shen?" ”

"Humph!"

Xia Yanxiu flicked his sleeves fiercely and scolded angrily: "Aunt Shen has been crazy for so many years, she is pretending, who else will harm her?" I'm afraid she can't think about it herself, so she eats some ghost things to die. What a bad luck! ”

When he thought about the consequences, he was a little afraid.

If the eldest prince is more serious, wouldn't Shen's behavior affect the entire Prime Minister's Mansion? The woman who used to be empathetic and red-sleeved was long gone, and now all she left was a madman, who would only disgust people and bring him misfortune.

It seems that we have to find a way to kill her.

In a thought, Shen never thought that her former pillow person had already moved to kill her.

In the end, Shen's poisoning was characterized as self-inflicted evil and was over. Xia Yanxiu didn't even look at her much, and didn't say a word of concern. Before Zhao left, he only said a few words casually, let Piao Su stare at Aunt Shen, don't let her come out to harm people in the future, otherwise she will be punished together.

Soon, the people in the room were empty, and Su Shi fell behind, took a deep look at Shen, and also turned around and went out.

Only Piao Xu knelt in front of the bed, looking at Shen anxiously, but he was at a loss.

Xia Jinse stood behind her, looked at the back of Piaoxu for a long time, and sighed: "Alas, I want Aunt Shen to be talented and beautiful back then, and she topped the capital, but now she has fallen to such a point." I'm afraid that my father will hate Aunt Shen even more in the future, it's really pitiful......"

Piaofu didn't look back, only knelt and cried lowly.

Shen's poisoning coma, it took two days to get better, and Xia Jinse left the medicine and asked Piaoxu to take it on time, which was barely enough to save a life.

Mu Xiang and Aunt Yao lamented the fate of the Shen family, but they didn't understand chasing clouds and shooting the moon.

"Why did Miss save Aunt Shen?" Chasing clouds whispered.

She knew that the Shen family was very likely to be the murderer who killed the master's mother, not only that, but she may also have hired a killer from the Soul Chasing Building, so she thought that maybe even the eldest young master's fall from the horse might have something to do with her.

"I haven't gotten an answer yet, and I certainly can't let her die."

Xia Jinse slowly stirred the sour plum soup in the bowl and took a sip, the sweet and sour feeling spread from the tip of her tongue to her whole body, making her squint her eyes with pleasure and comfort.

Now there is only suspicion about Shen, there is no absolute evidence, once Shen is dead, she will have no clues, and she will have to start all over again. And after this ordeal, the Shen family must know that there are people in the Prime Minister's Mansion who want her to die.

When Shen is threatened with death, how will she resist?

Shooting the moon suddenly realized, and her eyes lit up: "Oh, the slave understands." Aunt Shen didn't want to die, so she had been breathing for so many years, just for the purpose in her heart. If someone wants to harm her, she must fight back or protect herself! ”

"Aunt Shen is not a stupid person, otherwise she would not have been able to become an Oiran back then, once she has taken precautions, it is likely that the situation will change and lead to the person behind the scenes." Chasing clouds also analyzed.

Xia Jinse smiled: "That's it, besides, didn't we find out about the Shen family's movements before?" Since she is on guard now, she must do something, and if she moves, she will be exposed and caught by us. ”

"Miss, don't worry, the slave will continue to stare at Aunt Shen." Shooting the moon immediately said.

Xia Jinse nodded, it is estimated that it will not be long before she will get the answer.

Soon, it was only the third day, and the shooting moon came to report.

"Miss, it turns out that Aunt Shen has had a miserable life all these years, but in fact, it is all an illusion, she actually has a way to make money."

Through her observation in the past few days, she found that Shen handed over some calligraphy and paintings to Piaoxu and asked her to secretly sell them to antique calligraphy and painting shops. It's just that the inscription of these calligraphy and paintings is not her, but some famous calligraphy and painting masters in the previous and current dynasties.

"How can she fake calligraphy and paintings?" Xia Jinse was a little surprised, and he couldn't see that the Shen family still had such ability.

If you want to copy everyone's paintings, you have to practice for several years before they can barely resemble them. But the Shen family was able to confuse the real with the fake, which shows his talent!

She also saw Shen painting with her own eyes and took out a genuine handiwork, but it took half a day to draw exactly the same picture. Even the seal had been engraved a long time ago, so you can imagine how long she had been doing this kind of thing.

Xia Jinse thought about it, since the Shen family can make money, how has she been so miserable all these years?

Just looking at the environment of Lilac Garden, as well as the layout of the room, I know that the Zhao family has been deducting her, and the usual food and clothing are not enough at all, why doesn't the Shen family use this money to supplement themselves? Is it because you are afraid of being discovered?

If it didn't work, where did she hide all that silver? How many are there?

"Shoot the moon, keep an eye on Aunt Shen, I'm afraid she will have to make a big move in the next few days." Xia Jinse's eyes flashed, as if he had guessed something.

……

As night fell, the Lilac Garden was dead silent.

After being exposed to the scorching sun of the day for a day, and without watering, the roses in the corner of the courtyard have completely dried up.

The door creaked, and a figure stepped out.

This is a woman in her thirties, carrying a burden on her back. She nodded at the glimmering room, her eyes resolute, and went out with the door. Following the uninhabited path, she walked very fast, there were no people around at all, and even the guards of the Prime Minister's Mansion would not patrol here, so she didn't have to worry at all.

Soon, the woman carefully walked through a lush flower bed and stood under a wall.

She looked left and right, but found no one, and quickly picked up a piece of grass to reveal a dog hole. She crouched down, cautiously slipped into the dog hole, and slipped out.

In the shadow of the wall, Sheyue leaned against a big banyan tree leaning out of the courtyard wall, staring at the figure of the drifting away with interest, and couldn't help but smile slightly: "Miss is really right, they just want to do something, I'm afraid they can catch a big fish tonight." ”

After a pause, she suddenly turned her head and stared at another dark figure standing on the branch of the banyan tree next to her: "Hey, why don't you speak?" ”

"......" Mo Yan only glanced at the moon, still silent is golden.

"Hey, you look down on me, don't you?" Shooting Moon stared at him, a little upset. This big guy doesn't know how to speak, pretends to be dumb all day long, and pretends to be deep, right? Or do you think she's a woman and don't bother to talk to her?

"Hmph, if Miss hadn't ordered us to go out together, you think I would have taken care of you?"

Silent and silent, his body moved, like a silent Kunpeng, and flew over the wall in the blink of an eye.

She was just about to shout, but remembering that the two of them were on a mission, she closed her mouth unwillingly and hurriedly followed.

The two quickly caught up with the fluttering flocculents, followed her ten feet away, and hung unhurriedly. Although Piao Fu was vigilant and looked back from time to time, how could she possibly spot the movements of shooting the moon and silent words?

In a few moments, she had crossed two streets before she finally came to a shop and knocked on the door.

As if it was an appointment, the door opened, and a man poked his head out to check, but found nothing unusual, and quickly pulled the fluttering into and closed the door again.

It wasn't until he entered the house that Piao Fu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Did you bring it?" The man asked eagerly, staring at the burden in her hand.

"What are you panicking about?" Piao Su glared at him and took a step back.

The man looked to be in his early thirties, dressed in an elegant gown, wearing a scarf on his head, and his chin was beardless, and he was white and clean. If you don't look at his eager expression, he really has a bit of the demeanor of a handsome son.

It's a pity that he is a little older, and he is still a lot worse than those young sons.

The man stood still and rubbed his hands, and said with a sneer: "Sister Piaoxi, don't be angry, am I not worried?" By the way, how is Miaoyi doing, is it better? She still paints so much every day despite her sick body, which really worries me. It's a pity I can't help her, I'm really ......."

Speaking of which, he seemed to be touched by his deep affection and sighed.

Piao Xu stared at him and said in a deep voice: "Wang Gongzi, I can warn you, my young lady trusts you, so she gives you her hard work to sell." In exchange for this money, you should know what it is for. ”
