Shen Xi poured Ding Ling a cup of tea, the tea was still steaming, and then he sat down and just smiled, "It's not poetic, it's just a little careful thinking." ”

"I don't know if Miss Ding is here today, but what's the matter?" Shen Xi glanced at Ding Ling, who was silent, and asked.

Ding Ling looked up at Shen Xi at this time, and there was a sense of scrutiny, "I heard that the old woman died this morning, and I thought that you had looked for her yesterday, so you must have known her, so I wanted to ask, after all, she also stayed in Zuichun Mansion for a while." ”

Ding Ling's words were very calm, but it made Shen Xi feel very uneasy, "I do know each other, I had a grudge with her before, but whether she is dead or alive has nothing to do with me." ”

"I know why she died, she should have gone to you last night!" Ding Ling said this very affirmatively, she stared at Shen Xi with straight eyes, not knowing what she was thinking in her heart.

Originally, Mrs. Ru had nothing to do with Ding Ling, but she had done hard labor for a few days in Zuichun Building, and her life or death had nothing to do with her, but today she came to the door and questioned Shen Xi in person, it seemed that she came for Shen Xi.

"Miss Ding mean, did I kill her?" Shen Xi's eyes looked at Ding Ling as if they were in the abyss, cold and cold.

Ding Ling smiled gently, she talked generously, "Miss Shen misunderstood, her death has nothing to do with me, I came to you today, it's just that I appreciate your style of doing things, thinking that I'm here, so I'll ask more." ”

Shen Xihu looked at Ding Ling suspiciously, she seemed to be testing her now, but what she was testing was unknown.

Shen Xi didn't say anything more, she didn't know anything about Ding Ling's background, even if she was selfish, she couldn't reveal her thoughts too early, otherwise it would be bad for someone to grab the handle.

Ding Ling sat for a while and left.

Then Shen Xi heard that Mrs. Ru's body was dragged away by the government and thrown to the mass grave, after all, the appearance of corpses on the streets of the capital will inevitably cause a panic, so the people of the government also began to patrol around, in fact, it doesn't matter whether the patrol is not patrolling at all, the important thing is to appease the people.

Chang Yi also found out Ding Ling's life experience, he was an orphan since he was a child, and he lived alone in the capital by begging for food, and later was discovered by a girl in the Qinglou and rescued her there.

Because she was born with a delicate face, she was only twelve years old and was forced to take customers to earn money to support herself, and because she was young, she didn't plan many things, and was often bullied by other girls.

Life is worse than death, every day is picked up, and people are trampled and played with.

"Later, the bustard died suddenly, and she escaped with all the bustard's property, and then opened the Zuichun Building herself." Chang Yi's voice was very soft when he said this.

In fact, everyone knows that the old bustard said that he died violently, as for the actual situation, I am afraid that only Ding Ling himself knows.

No matter what, Ding Ling is a person with brains and a forbearance, otherwise she would not be where she is today, all the calmness and calmness between her words are tempered by life, after all, she is in the Qinglou, and most of the things she sees are dirty and dirty.

Shen Xi sighed slightly, she couldn't imagine how much torture a twelve-year-old girl suffered mentally when she was forced to pick up customers to support herself.

"Does she have any contact with the second prince in private?" Lu Qingyi raised his eyebrows, this is what he cares about, a person like Ding Ling will definitely find a backer for herself, after all, it is not easy for her to run this huge drunken spring building alone.

Chang Yi shook his head, "I didn't find out that she was involved with anyone." "Hot search

"Then how did she hold up this drunken spring building? On her own? Lu Qingyi was even more suspicious, a girl's family, if there was no help from anyone, how could she support this drunken spring building?

Not to mention anything else, in a place like this, I am afraid that there will be dozens of times a year when I meet troublemakers, and those official Mrs. Kuo are the ones who like to hire people to find trouble in the Qinglou, plus there are other messes, Shen Xi thinks that she is just running a bookstore, and she feels a little exhausted.

Thinking of this, Shen Xi had to sincerely admire Ding Ling.

"But I heard that she is a very methodical person, and she is also arbitrary when she does things, and she never drags her feet." Chang Yi continued to say that in the past few days, he can be said to have found out everything about Ding Ling very clearly, after all, if it is possible, he will fight side by side with them in the future.

"Because there is no one behind her, even if it is for everyone in Drunken Spring Building, she can't fall, if it is not forced by life, who would want to do this business." Shen Xi seemed to be able to understand Ding Ling's style of doing things suddenly.

She has her bottom line for doing things, but she also has her compassion.

"I thought maybe we could talk to her." Only then did Shen Xi remember the purpose of Ding Ling looking for her that day, maybe this was what she was tempting.

No matter how strong a person is, he will not be able to support it.

After talking to Chang Yi and them, it was already late at night, Shen Xi stood by the window, and kept looking into the distance, the rain had been falling for several days in a row, and there was no sign of stopping, which made Shen Xi feel very irritable.

But no matter how cold the weather is, it can't compare to the cold heart.

Early in the morning of the second day, Shen Xi received an invitation from Concubine Chen in the palace, saying that she was invited to the temple fair.

Shen Xi stared at the invitation for a long time, she and Concubine Chen were rivals, but Concubine Chen's sudden overtures made Shen Xi a little wrong.

She often heard Chang Yi or Chang Qing mention the affairs of Concubine Chen and the queen mother in the palace, and the two of them were evenly matched, stirring up the entire harem into a miasma, but they didn't stop, and the emperor also let it go, and there were many people who watched jokes.

In the palace, there are only interests, and there is no so-called sisterhood or brotherhood.

"You make an excuse to push it! Concubine Chen is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Chang Yi couldn't know more about Concubine Chen and the queen, the two of them pretended to fight in full swing in front of outsiders, but in fact they were very friendly, but now they are really going to fight to the death.

But no matter how much they fight, in the previous incident of Concubine Lan, the two of them were grasshoppers standing in the same boat, and whoever lived and died was tied together.

"What do you think?" Shen Xi looked at Lu Qingyi, who had been silent all along.

"Actually, it's okay to go, you can see what she wants to do, now she and the queen are enemies, as long as she and the queen continue to fight, it's a good thing for us." Lu Qingyi thought about it for a long time before he came to this result.

"Then go, and I'll do it when the time comes." Shen Xi said resolutely.

"I'll go with you." Lu Qingyi looked at Shen Xi and said lightly, it was impossible for him to let Shen Xi face it alone, whether it was dangerous or not, he couldn't afford to gamble.
