Chapter 155: Pretending to be a husband and wife

"You fence this post station, not a single fly is allowed to go out, if you find the person we are looking for, the city lord and the old man of the Ruan family will be rewarded."

"Yes, Deputy Commander." Everyone said in unison.

Rewarded? Hmph, what does this Shen Rui and the Ruan family think of her, they all think so much about holding her in their hands, is it possible that they want to use her to blackmail King Chen? It depends on whether the consequences are affordable or not.

"Rean Xue, go and tell the young owner of Murong that we will leave the post station tomorrow, and when we arrive at the Emerald Studios, Concubine Ben will visit in person." Since they want to see themselves so much, let's see them for so long, but Chu Lixue is not willing to be arrested by them, but wants to visit openly, which is also a kind of protection for themselves, even if Shen Rui and the Ruan family can cover the sky with one hand in Cui Cinema, and her identity is not an ordinary person, not to mention that there are so many people around to protect her, and her safety must be safe.

"Yes, Princess." Remnant Xue took the order and walked out.

Although she also felt that Chu Lixue's approach was a bit risky, but with the protection of the princess and the waning moon by her side, not to mention the young owner of Murong Shaozhuang, that guy's martial arts were not weak at all.

The officers and soldiers surrounded the post station, but the night passed, and they did not see the woman mentioned in the letter. But think about it, it's just a few women, even if there is a carriage, the movement is weaker, maybe tonight they keep vigil again, maybe they can wait for the person they have to wait.

Early in the morning, Murong Lingxiang was stretching out, and suddenly, Chu Lixue walked out in men's clothes, and those officers and soldiers even felt that this man was a little too beautiful, but looking at Murong Lingxiang again, he was also a beautiful man, and the doubts he still had in his heart were also dispelled by Chu Lixue's identity as a man.

A few people walked under the noses of those officers and soldiers like this, and before leaving, Murong Lingxiang also gave the deputy commander a bag of silver, and after the group left, they quickly walked in the direction of Cui Ying City.

Cui Ying City can be said to be a small country, Shen Rui is the soil emperor here, Chu Lixue and his party want to rent a house nearby to live, but they didn't expect it to be so difficult to rent a house in Cui Ying City, and they still need the city lord to issue a letter of consent, otherwise not only will the landlord be dragged to the city lord's mansion to play the board, but even the nearby neighbors will have to sit together.

Wanyue inquired with the landlord a little, and then went to the city lord's mansion to open a letter of consent, and the waning moon came to the city lord's mansion, and the officials were very enthusiastic about her, and the team leader personally led her to the master's place to open the consent form.

Chu Lixue didn't expect Wanyue to open a consent form so easily, originally thought it would be difficult, for example, to ask for a guarantor or something.

"Wanyue, is the consent form so easy to open?" Chu Lixue said softly.

"Yes, Princess, they just asked for a hundred taels of silver as a guarantee."

"It's only one hundred taels, I thought it would be ten thousand taels." Chu Lixue smiled lightly.

With the consent letter issued by the City Lord's Mansion, the landlord happily rented the house to Chu Lixue and her to live in. Murong Lingxiang asked Chu Lixue to live in the main house with a few girls, while he lived in the house on the east side, and the rest were lived by attendants and horsemen.

In order to make it easier, Murong Ling Xiang assumed the name Mu Gongzi, while Chu Lixue acted in the Cui Cinema City under the name of Ling Qing, and she was always wearing men's clothes, and no one ever doubted her identity.

"Princess, the slave maid has inquired about something." Remnant Xue said mysteriously.

"Oh? What's going on? Chu Lixue asked softly.

"Someone bought a jade bracelet at Ruan's house, and ended up buying a fake, and then the man went to the city lord's mansion, who knew that the city lord did not come out to solve it, but the city lord's wife used a thousand taels of silver to plug people's mouths, but that person didn't want the one thousand taels of silver at all, just wanted an explanation, who knows, that person actually died in the river outside the city."

"And what do you think about it?"

"Hmm...... It is very likely that the people of the Ruan family hated that person for destroying the reputation of their store and killing people. Remnant Xue said softly.

"No, there's another possibility." Wanyue said lightly.

"Another possibility?" Rean Xue wondered. immediately looked at Chu Lixue, and saw that Chu Lixue just smiled lightly, and knew that Wanyue's statement was agreed by the princess.

"The other possibility is competition between peers, have you forgotten? Kong Qi, who wasn't that Nanchu before, was still looking for someone to make trouble in Deyue Tower? The princess asked me to follow the troublemaker, and found that he was only a beggar, but he died outside the city not long after, and his body was cut down to a blur of flesh, and the beggars who were with him thought that the man had gone to enjoy himself. ”

"Oh, I understand, what the princess means is that someone specially bought a fake jade bracelet, and then framed the Ruan family, and then killed people, so that people misunderstood that the Ruan family killed people and killed people?" Remnant Xue suddenly realized.

"It is also possible that the jade bracelet of the Ruan family is indeed fake, where is the jade so easy to find, and it can be monopolized, could it be that the Ruan family still has a jade mine." Chu Lixue said lightly. But Chu Lixue didn't expect that she would cut off her words and almost attract death.

On this day, Chu Lixue asked Ning Xiang to change into women's clothes, and she was still dressed as a handsome son, and as soon as she got out of the room, she was stunned by the people in the courtyard, didn't she say that she would always dress up in men's clothes? Why do you want to travel in women's clothing now? They still have a lot of things that have not been arranged, so when they go out like this, aren't they afraid of being discovered?

"Miss Ling......" Murong Lingxiang's confidant Qin Lei stepped forward and said.

Looking at his posture, he looked like he was not allowed to go out, Chu Lixue smiled lightly when she saw this, "Qin Lei, I want to take my lady to Ruan's house to buy jewelry, why are you stopping like this?" ”

"Take the lady to Ruan's house to buy jewelry?" Qin Lei stammered. It's obviously four women, and they're pretending to be some men, if they're far away, it's fine, but they still have to go to other people's stores, for those shopkeepers, her identity as a woman can be seen through at a glance, do you really think that you can't see it in disguise?

"yes, do you think there's something wrong?" Chu Lixue said with a smile.

"Miss Ling, I advise you not to go, those shopkeepers have good eyesight, your identity as a woman is easy to be exposed by them, or don't go." Qin Lei said expressionlessly.

I really didn't expect that this Princess Chen would be so good at playing, just a woman pretending to be a man, and she had to learn to take a woman shopping with a man left and right, doesn't that make people even more suspicious of her identity?

Hearing this, Chu Lixue looked at herself, she was indeed lacking the masculine beauty that a man should have, and then, her eyes rolled and she looked at Qin Lei with a smile, "Otherwise, you ......"

Before Chu Lixue could finish speaking, Qin Lei hurriedly dispelled her thoughts, "Miss Ling, don't, I don't know how to act at all, if someone sees through it, it will be even worse." After finishing speaking, Qin Lei didn't forget to look at the house in the east, and motioned to Chu Lixue to find Murong Lingxiang.

Qin Lei was struggling, Murong Lingxiang opened the door and walked out, Chu Lixue glanced at Murong Lingxiang, "Mu Gongzi, can you do us a favor?" ”

"What's the busy?" Murong Lingxiang said vigilantly.

He had heard it all in the room just now, and even Qin Lei's mouth towards him didn't escape his eyes, at this time, Chu Lixue asked him for help, what else could it be, didn't he let him help to explore the Ruan family together?

"You pretended to be Ning Xiang's husband and took Ning Xiang to Ruan's house to investigate." Chu Lixue said bluntly. There is really no need to deceive Murong Lingxiang, they are partners in the first place, and the premise of cooperation is to be honest with each other.

"Don't, princess, the slave has never been a master, I don't know what the master should look like, and I don't know how to cooperate with Murong Gongzi, you can find the remnant snow or the waning moon." After finishing speaking, Ning Xiang hurriedly ran back to the room, and the remnant snow and waning moon, who were standing on the side, were betrayed violently, and they also hurriedly waved their hands to avoid this place of right and wrong.

"The three of you are really unrighteous, and you will retreat from such a trivial matter." Chu Lixue said indignantly.

Qin Lei said with a smile: "Miss Ling don't have to worry, in fact, the most suitable person is yourself, you are a good match for my son-in-law, and you are the lord of Qinghe, you have that kind of temperament that makes people look up, if you let the maids pretend, they will be very restrained, besides, they are all unemployed, and they don't understand how women are coquettish with their husbands." ”

Qin Lei's words were quickly agreed by the three people in the room, Chu Lixue looked at Murong Lingxiang and did not raise any objections, they were in a hurry to collect information, so they also agreed to Qin Lei's proposal.

Chu Lixue summoned Ning Xiang to dress herself, today Murong Lingxiang wore a dark trimmed royal blue satin round-necked robe, naturally she couldn't wear it too eye-catching, and Wanyue chose a jade emerald leaf cloud pattern brocade dress for Chu Lixue in the wardrobe. Not to mention, the two of them are really a good match when they stand together.

Ning Xiang doesn't have to pretend to be a lady, but she has finally changed back into women's clothes, since there is a lady, there must be a maid, so that walking on the street will not make people suspicious.

The group came to the Ruan's jade shop, Chu Lixue's eyes swept over the store, there were several beautiful jade bracelets, hairpins and other objects on the table, and there was a white jade Guanyin statue on the cabinet lattice inside, Chu Lixue stared at the white jade Guanyin statue for a long time without taking her eyes off.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper knew that this lady should like the statue of Guanyin, and immediately offered the treasure and said: "This lady likes the statue of Guanyin in white jade, it is a goddess of mercy, so it is better to ask one to go back." ”

Hearing this, Chu Lixue's face sank, "Let Mrs. Ben please send Zi Guanyin, what do you mean by this?" ”

The shopkeeper saw that Chu Lixue's face was very ugly, and he knew that he had said the wrong thing, but looking at them like this, they should be newly married, and it is normal to have no children, even if they already have children, it is also a matter of many sons and blessings to invite a statue of Guanyin back, why be so angry.

"Madame, don't be angry, Guanyin not only sends a child, but also blesses the safety of the house, I see Mrs. Guanyin statue for a long time, thinking that Mrs. likes the Guanyin statue."

"You think? You really know how to guess the thoughts of the guests, but this white jade Guanyin, Mrs. Ben really likes it, how much silver? ”

"A hundred taels of silver." The shopkeeper said lightly.

"What? A hundred taels? Why don't you grab it? Chu Lixue said coldly.

At this moment, a young man walked in the store, and his appearance disrupted Chu Lixue's original plan.
