Chapter Ninety-Seven: Her Mailing
"Sister Sister-in-law. "As my sister-in-law was about to enter the house, I whispered behind her.
Her body trembled slightly, "Xiao Xiang'er, is it you?" she turned around happily after saying this. But when she saw my appearance, she frowned slightly, "Why are you dressed like this?"
I smiled and ripped off my fake beard, ran up to her and hugged her, "Scared my sister?"
She smiled lightly, "I'm not scared, I just think you're a little ugly like this." By the way," she said, taking my hand, "have you eaten?"
I smiled and pulled her into the house, and said as I pulled her, "Didn't Xiao Qing'er tell my sister that I made money? I ate dinner early, because I am now rich." β
"Did you get that money for doing bad things?" said the aunt to me with a melancholy look in her eyes.
Seeing her sadness come again, I quickly surrendered, "Of course not, I made money from my ability." Does my sister know about the gambling house? I went there today. β
Probably in my sister-in-law's opinion, it is better to gamble than to kill people and buy goods, so she didn't say much about me.
When we entered the house, she was uncomfortable with my outfit and forced me to change back into the women's clothes she had given me.
"By the way, Xiao Xiang'er, can my sister help you comb your hair?"
Thinking that I was going to leave her for a while, and that we wouldn't have the opportunity to comb my hair like we do now, I agreed.
When I saw that I agreed, I happily opened her box and took out combs of various sizes, as well as hairpins and flower ornaments.
Her happiness now gave me a glimpse of the loneliness of her old days.
"Sister, that Siluo son, is my sister familiar with him?" I asked as she brushed my hair.
"It's not familiar, Siluo Gongzi only comes to Baixiang Pavilion a few times a year, and most of the time he comes is there for Yunlian and Zishan, and only comes to me very rarely. Sister-in-law said.
"I heard that Siluo Gongzi is in the spice business, Siluo Gongzi must be very rich, right? There must be a lot of people who like him, right?" I smiled.
The concubine shook her head, "Prince Siluo is indeed rich, and there are many women who like him. But Siluo Gongzi's temper is very strange, his mood is uncertain, you were still a treasure in his palm before, and you will soon offend him because of a word, and he will face him coldly. This is something that many women are afraid of. β
Thinking about seeing his expression today, I probably know what he looks like when he turns his face.
"But he has such a strange temper, why do so many girls still like him?" I smiled.
"That's because everyone wants to be his wife, and if someone can become the wife of Prince Siluo, then she will enjoy endless glory and wealth in this life, and even in the lives of all her relatives and friends. The concubine sighed lightly.
"How can a spice merchant be so rich?" I couldn't help but wonder.
"The business of the prince of Siluo is all over the south. It's not an exaggeration to say he's the best in the area. β
"Oh. β
While my sister-in-law was busy giving me hair, the sound of bottles and cans falling came from the living room.
"Meow~Woo~" Following the sound of the bottle, there were a few more cat meows.
I feel sorry for my sister-in-law's bottles and jars made of porcelain. Without waiting for my sister-in-law to go out, I went out before her.
In the corner of the living room, there is a sandalwood table with snacks, and the fallen bottles and cans are two vases. Thinking that the cat was here to forage for food, and then accidentally knocked over the sister-in-law's things.
Luckily, it wasn't important, so I didn't bother with the cat.
"Little Sesame, I'm looking for something to eat again, isn't Yunlian there good?" said the concubine as she picked up the cat.
It's a funny name, but it's not a funny cat. While I was helping her sort out the vase, the little yellow cat slipped into her bedroom again.
"Something to eat in my sister's bedroom?" I asked amusedly.
The concubine said, "Those are not eaten by yourself, but are used to offer to the Buddha." β
This is not good, what if it knocks down the Buddha statue? I originally wanted my aunt to get the cat by herself, but it seems that I did it myself.
When the cat saw that I wanted to come to my bedroom, he grabbed a small snack and quickly ran to the window. Unfortunately, the window was closed at this time, and it couldn't get out, so in a hurry, it jumped to the dresser behind it. My burden was on my sister-in-law's dresser, and it stepped on my burden, and I was afraid that it would damage my sister-in-law's mirror, so I didn't approach it.
But the little creature seemed to be afraid of me, and it just looked at me for a moment, and suddenly dropped what was in its mouth, jumped from my baggage, and jumped to the side of my sister-in-law, and before she had time to scream, it quickly scurried from her feet to the living room.
I was worried that it would damage my sister-in-law's other things, so I hurriedly followed, until I found that the little one had come to the living room, and had not gone anywhere, and went straight to the door, and then I walked back to my sister-in-law's boudoir with confidence.
"This woman, Xiao Xiang'er knows?" As soon as I entered the room, my sister-in-law took the painting that Master had given me and said to me.
"Sister, how are you turning over my things?" I looked at her with some displeasure.
"I, I," she said, avoiding my gaze, "I'm sorry, I saw it peeking out of my bag, and I wanted to get it back for you, but ...... I'm a little curious, so I'm ...... Opened it privately. β
I didn't speak.
"Xiao Xiang'er, are you angry?" the concubine looked at me uneasily, "I, I just wonder if the person in this painting will be your relative." β
I still didn't speak. I'm afraid that when I open my mouth at this moment, it will be something embarrassing to her.
"Xiao Xiang'er, don't look at me like this, okay? Seeing that I was really just curious just now, there was no other malicious intent. Her eyes began to redden.
"That's not my relative, that's the woman I'm going to kill. I said expressionlessly.
Sister-in-law's hand shook suddenly, and the painting slowly fell from her hand, "This...... This ......," she seemed surprised.
I looked at her in silence.
She looked at the man in the painting and began to fall silent.
We were in silence for a while, and at last, she suddenly sighed sadly, and sighed that I was inexplicably distressed.
"Don't kill her, okay?" the concubine looked at me gloomily, "because she's a friend of that princess of Siluo." β
I was a little shocked by this sentence, although I had vaguely guessed it before, but I didn't expect that it was she who told me in the end.
I knew I had misunderstood her, but I didn't know why she didn't let me kill the woman, even if she was a friend of Princess Silo.
"I have to kill her. I said quietly.
"You, you ......" the concubine suddenly walked up to me and took my hand uneasily, "Fool, do you know what kind of person Prince Siluo is? Don't you understand what a terrible person he is?"
I wondered, "Isn't he just a rich spice merchant?"
My sister-in-law was so angry with my words that she scolded me for being a "fool", and after scolding a few words of foolishness, she took my hand, "Xiao Xiang'er, since it has come to this point, I will tell you some things." As far as I know, he has been assassinated by many of the best masters, but none of those killers succeeded. β
"Assassination, why assassinate him?" I asked, confused.
"Some are hateful out of love, and some are jealous in business. Siluo Gongzi liked many women, but he also abandoned many women, some of those women were nobles, some were heroines, and some were the daughters of wealthy merchants. Love is deep and hateful, and some women who are too radical will pay a killer to kill him. Business, not to mention. However, the prince of Siluo has never had an accident. If it weren't for his unusual skills, how could he have survived so many assassinations?"
"Also," the concubine looked at me uneasily, "the Lotus Pond Villa of Siluo Gongzi is not a simple place, it is said that in addition to the exquisite mechanism arranged by Siluo Gongzi, there are many powerful master guards. If you want to kill the woman in this painting while the prince is not there, it is also very dangerous. β
"Sister, do you mean that the woman in this painting is not only a friend of Princess Siluo, but also lives in Lotus Pond Villa?" I asked, a little incredulous.
She sighed, "Yes. Every year at the beginning of spring, she has to go to the lotus pond villa of the son of Siluo to recuperate, and she will live until the end of the whole spring. β
I suddenly remembered a sensitive question, "These are extremely hidden things, how can my sister know so clearly?
"I'm not as good as you think. The concubine bowed her head, "Before I came to the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion, it was the person in this paintingβthat is, Miss Wei Luo, a little maid beside me." Later, I married Miss Wei Luo to Qinglei Hall, and Miss was probably worried that I would compete with her for favor, so she sent me to Ganluo and served as an informant for them in the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion. β
This is another piece of news for me to eat!
After digesting it for a long time, I remembered how lonely and lonely my aunt looked on weekdays, and I couldn't help but feel some sympathy in my heart.
"May the king be as bright as the sun, and let the concubine ride the fish and skim the waves. β
It seems that I understand the sorrow in her heart.
However, I remembered a serious question, "The news that my sister told me is all Qinglei's secret, my sister told me so much today, will those guys in Qinglei trouble my sister?"
When my sister-in-law heard me say this, her face suddenly turned a little pale, obviously she didn't think of this layer when she told me.
"What is Qinglei's punishment for the leaker?" I looked at her uneasily.
"Die. The concubine's body trembled and said slowly.
"So serious, then you still tell me?" I looked at her in surprise.
The concubine smiled at me, then leaned lightly against the doorpost, "Forget it, it's all spoken." I think it's useless to regret it, anyway, as long as I protect Xiao Xiang'er. β
"Why do you want to protect me? I've only known my sister for a long time? Don't you think it's not worth it to take my life for me? Not to mention, I haven't done anything for you!" I looked at her incomprehensibly. Although I know that she is a good person, it is so good that I don't even care about my life, which is not easy.
