Chapter 118: The Bracelet also hides a mechanism
Out of Liufu, Ling Qingrui came to the thatched house where the original dumb uncle and the current Uncle Jiang lived.
Uncle Jiang hurriedly greeted Ling Qingrui into the house, and said, "Miss, if you have any orders in the future, let the girl from Chuxue come to visit, Miss, don't take such a risk." ”
"It's okay, it just so happens that I don't want to entangle with those three princes, so I'll hand it over to Bingyue."
Uncle Jiang asked with some concern: "Bingyue Bingyan and the two are not as good as Chu Xue, after all, the time with the eldest lady is still short, can you trust it?" ”
Ling Qingrui's movements paused slightly, the time that the Bingyue Bingyan sisters had been with her was indeed very short, and was she and Ling Xiao friends or simply using each other? Ling Xiao's subordinates, why did she believe it easily?
Ling Qingrui, who was a little distracted, unconsciously picked up a bowl of cold water in her hand and drank it, raised her eyes to meet Uncle Jiang's distressed gaze, she immediately smiled back and said: "Uncle Jiang, your young lady and I are fine, don't you just drink a bowl of cold water, it's okay." ”
"Well, it's okay for the eldest lady to be fine." Uncle Jiang turned his head slightly, and his voice, which had been hoarse because he had not spoken for many years, became even more hoarse.
The eldest lady of his family is the daughter of the general, although she is not as noble as the princess and the county lord, but she is also pampered to the age of five in every way, how could she have suffered so much when she was young? The more the eldest lady showed that she didn't care, the more sad and self-blamed she became, and her eyes turned slightly red.
There was no need to look at it, Ling Qingrui also knew that Uncle Jiang was starting to blame himself again, and sighed softly in her heart, Ling Qingrui asked, "Uncle Jiang, have you done what I asked you to do a few days ago?" ”
Hearing this, Uncle Jiang immediately wiped two handfuls on his eyes and replied: "Miss Hui, Shunyuan has already set off, and it is estimated that it will be time to arrive in the capital in seven or eight days." ”
Ling Qingrui nodded and said, "Shun Yuan is reliable?" ”
"Don't worry, Miss Shun Yuan is an orphan I rescued eight years ago, the most loyal, although he is younger, but he is safe and has a lot of ideas, and he can definitely do what the Miss entrusts."
"Well, that's fine. You take these things and sell them, and send the money to Shunyuan, only one thing, don't let people trace the source. ”
Ling Qingrui said and took off the package she was carrying, which was full of things sent by the three princes these days, including gold and silver jewelry, as well as some strange things.
I'm afraid that the third prince would never have imagined that the things he gave out had always been scrambled for by people, especially women, Ling Qingrui not only disdained it, but also sold it for money!
Uncle Jiang opened the package and checked the things there, and saw that although some of them were rare and rare, they were not rare treasures, and there were no special marks that belonged to the royal family or the three princes, so he nodded.
A few days ago, Ling Qingrui instructed Uncle Jiang to find a reliable person to go to the capital, find a storefront and open a teahouse restaurant, or even a green building, Uncle Jiang naturally knew that even if he collected some silver money over the years, plus the five thousand taels of silver tickets given by Ling Qingrui, it was far from enough, and when he was thinking of a way, Ling Qingrui sent such valuable items, which should be able to deal with it for a while.
Although Uncle Jiang also had the heart to avenge the Ling family, he had no choice but not to have any power at all, after ten years of hard work, he had only established a little power in Yunzhou for his own use, but he did not expect the development of Ling Qingrui Pill in the capital, and he was suddenly a little caught off guard.
Uncle Jiang didn't know that Ling Qingrui's investigation revealed that the mastermind behind this deep hatred and blood hatred was related to the royal family, and if he wanted to find out the truth or even take revenge, he would inevitably go to the capital.
Ling Qingrui knew that she had to have her own power in the capital as soon as possible, and the fastest source of information and other matters was the teahouse, restaurant, Qinglou and other places, so she would have this arrangement.
These days, Liu Wenzhe once secretly approached Ling Qingrui, saying that he wanted to pretend to take refuge in the three princes, so as to use the power of the three princes to return to the capital as soon as possible, but this idea was blocked by Ling Qingrui.
Although Liu Wenzhe is pretending to take refuge, he is afraid that it will be impossible to get on the thief ship and then think about it, and the profoundness of the Three Princes' City Mansion is not as simple as he seems, and he is not a person who is easy to fool, if he finds out Liu Wenzhe's true intentions, then Liufu will face a catastrophe!
Moreover, with the age of the three princes, it is indeed unlikely that they were behind the hatred of the three princes, but it cannot be ruled out whether it is related to the people around the three princes, when facing the people in the royal family, the best posture of the Liufu is to remain neutral, not biased towards any prince or prince, and only be loyal to the emperor, so that the Liufu can be invincible first.
Ling Qingrui also knew that Liu Wenzhe was not unaware of this, but in order to help the Ling family avenge, he had already tried everything to seize any opportunity that could be seized!
But the more Liu Wenzhe is like this, the more Ling Qingrui, who is moved in her heart, can't and can't bear to drag the entire Liufu into it, although the road is difficult, she can slowly plan forward, and she doesn't want to become the kind of cold-blooded and ruthless person who does not hesitate to sacrifice anyone in order to achieve her goals.
After telling Uncle Jiang again, Ling Qingrui went back, but she didn't find that she had just been picked up by Chu Xue from the corner gate, and the three princes appeared on the street, staring at the closed corner gate, the three princes' phoenix eyes were full of yin owls.
"Your Highness, this woman is so unsure of what to do, do you want to belong to it......"
The guard beside him saw that his face was uncertain, so he proposed, but before he finished speaking, he was swept by the third prince, and he hurriedly shut up and didn't dare to say more.
Staring at the corner door for a while, the third prince threw up his sleeves and left, this woman who didn't know what to do, if he didn't have the heart to use Liu Wenzhe, how could she make her refuse again and again, and would rather see such a nerd than see him!
If it weren't for Miao Jing, who was the most useful person by his side, he vomited blood and fell into a coma more than a month ago, and although he woke up later, he lost seven or eight of his martial arts, almost as good as an ordinary guard, and he would not have stayed in Yunzhou all the time.
As a prince, he can't leave Beijing at will, the third prince originally wanted to take advantage of this time to come to Yunzhou, after the Yunzhou plague matter was completed, he would make the golden cicada leave first and do some things he wanted to do, but who knew that it was delayed in Yunzhou, and it would continue to be delayed depending on the situation, how could the three princes not be angry in their hearts?
Coupled with Liu Wenzhe, who doesn't eat oil and salt, and this woman who doesn't know what to do, the three princes have been holding their breath in their hearts and have nowhere to vent, and the guard came out to propose without knowing whether to live or die, which suddenly made the three princes even more angry, and after going back, the guard was punished, and no one saw this guard again.
Ling Qingrui naturally didn't know that the third prince saw the scholar she pretended to be, and mistakenly thought that this scholar had come to have a private meeting with her, but for a long time, the third prince never sent anyone again, and he himself did not appear.
Later, Liu Wenzhe received the emperor's decree, saying that Liu Wenzhe was an official in Yunzhou, and ordered him to return to Beijing to serve in the future, and the prefect who took over from Yunzhou soon came to Yunzhou City.
The sun was shining outside, Ling Qingrui rubbed the simple bracelet on her wrist, she always felt that since this bracelet was also the ancestral thing of the Ling family, maybe it should be like the pendant she wore around her neck, there was something to open, but she never found a breakthrough.
There were whispers of Bingyue and Bingyan in my ears.
"What do you say Miss is thinking, will you think about our pavilion master?" This is a relatively straightforward Bingyue who is an older sister.
"Shhhhh I think if the pavilion master doesn't show up again, the young lady will forget about the pavilion master, and I haven't heard the young lady ask about the pavilion master for so long. ”
"That's right, miss......"
Bingyue was about to say more, but when she saw Chu Xue walk in, she hurriedly closed her voice.
As soon as Chu Xue came in, she saw Ling Qingrui looking out of the window attentively, and hurriedly stepped forward to close the window, and said with some blame: "Why doesn't Miss take care of her body so much?" Although this year's young lady is no longer as easy to get sick as in previous years, she can't be careless, it's cold outside. ”
Ling Qingrui lowered her eyes silently, and then asked, "Mother's relics have all been collected?" ”
"Please rest assured, all the belongings of the lady, the slaves and maids have been collected, and the master also said, although we are moving to Beijing at home, there will be people here to guard and clean, and the slaves and maids are also in accordance with the instructions of the young lady, and the people are entrusted to be optimistic about the lady's Qiutong Courtyard."
Chu Xue paused and said: "And Uncle Jiang refused to go to the capital first like everyone else, saying that he was not worried about Miss, and he wanted to accompany Miss into Beijing together, and sent a letter to reassure Miss that he would not show up but would definitely guard Miss around Miss." ”
Hearing this, Ling Qingrui sighed softly, Uncle Jiang was too stubborn, and no one could persuade him to do what he believed, so he had to let him go.
It's time to leave for the capital tomorrow, and the real revenge journey may really begin!
Ling Qingrui subconsciously reached out and touched the pendant that was originally worn around her neck, but at this time she had already taken out the pendant outside her dress, who knew that when she wanted to withdraw her hand, she felt a little obstruction, as if something had scratched the pendant.
Originally, Ling Qingrui thought it was just her own illusion, but unexpectedly, Chu Xue beside her let out a slight puzzled sound.
Chu Xue blinked in confusion and said, "Maybe the slave maid is wrong, just now it seems that the pendant seems to be stuck in the bracelet on the wrist of the young lady?" ”
Hearing this, Ling Qingrui's heart moved slightly, and she hurriedly reached out and took off the pendant around her neck, looked at the engraving pattern on the bracelet again, and slowly put the pendant into one of the half-moon-shaped patterns.
I heard a very slight "pop", and the bracelet suddenly broke, revealing a yellowish piece of silk cloth!
