Chapter 8 Peeling back the cocoon
At this time, another absurd idea popped up in my mind, if I was stabbed to death again, would I be able to return to the original world? Why don't you give it a try?
"Please ask Mother Zhou to prepare two connected wings."
Li Yu's words interrupted his absurd thoughts, forget it, let's listen to Master's words obediently and wait for the opportunity.
"Master Hou, this is ......" Zhou's mother was a little puzzled.
"One for me, one for Shen Niangzi."
Li Yu's gaze was as warm as jade, and Shen Yining felt that it was very dazzling, is this still the rumored ruthless King of Qi?
After Zhou's mother went out, Shen Yining noticed that he was still staring at him, and he was a little worried, so he didn't want to settle accounts after the autumn. Just as he was about to say the prepared words, he heard him say: "Li Mou is sure to protect the lady thoroughly, please rest assured that Mrs. Shen." ”
Shen Yining looked at his back, and suddenly felt that this prince of Laoshzi might be worthy of trust.
I didn't sleep well that night, tossing and turning.
In the early morning of the next day, Shen Yining was awakened by Gu Huaixue's knock on the door.
"A-Ning, are you awake?"
Shen Yining hurriedly welcomed Xue Niang into the house and briefly freshened up.
"Aning, I didn't wait for you to come back last night, and then I couldn't stay up and fell asleep. This morning, I learned that Nateng was in a coma. I'm really worried, so I'm going to come and see you. ”
Gu Huaixue pulled Shen Yining to look left and right, making sure that everything was okay before she was relieved.
"Xue Niang, I'm fine, don't worry."
Shen Yining pulled Xue Niang to sit down.
"I heard Danhe say, did you find the thief?"
"Not yet, but I already have a clue about coming to the prince."
Gu Huaixue was stunned, and then said with some jokes: "Ah Ning, I saw that His Royal Highness the King of Qi came to look for you in a hurry last night, and you were not in a hurry." Now it sounds like you're very familiar with that prince. ”
Shen Yining was stunned, he was a familiar ghost, they were all grievances and hatred!
Shen Yining briefly explained to Gu Huaixue what happened before, and of course did not mention the poisoning. Gu Huaixue saw that Xu Yining's face was not shy, frank, and even a little annoyed, thinking that she had thought too much, so she stopped mentioning this topic.
"I've figured it out, Aning, you're right, it's better to make a decision than to hesitate." Gu Huaixue paused and breathed a sigh of relief, "So, this morning I have asked Danhe to send a letter to Erlang, and now it's up to him." ”
"What should you do if Jiro can't redeem you?"
Shen Yining was very happy that Xue Niang was able to make up her mind, but she was faintly worried about Xue Niang's future and the child in her womb.
"I, I want to keep the child, if the child is killed, maybe I won't have the opportunity to be a mother in the future. Although I am a woman in a green house, I still have the ability to take care of my family, and I can always survive. ”
Shen Yining felt that today's Gu Huaixue was a little different from before, and she was just a mother, and she was more determined and bright than before.
After a while, Li Yu came to call Shen Yining to have breakfast together.
All kinds of snacks have already been placed on the table, such as sesame porridge, Hu cakes, golden soufflé, Brahmin light noodles, etc., and there are even bright shrimp and jade dew dumplings, which are exquisite snacks that can only be eaten by going to the city once a month, and it is really with His Royal Highness the King of Qi that there is such a good taste.
Shen Yining took the small half of the Hu cake handed over by Li Yu and ate it with porridge water. It is really the chef of Yanqing Pavilion, and even this ordinary Hu cake is crispier and more delicious than the small shop outside.
"Lord Wang, is there an eyebrow about Teng's assassination?" Shen Yining drank the flax porridge and asked curiously.
"This king has secretly sent people to keep an eye on Dong Cao and Zhang last night. Do you know who went to the three of them this morning? ”
Shen Yining turned his head sideways and listened carefully, it was really curiosity that killed the cat.
"It's Gu Huaixue's personal maid Danhe, who went to the back door of Cao's Mansion this morning, put down one thing and left."
Shen Yining was horrified, how could it be her.
Danhe's hands were firmly tied, his face was pale, and his cheeks were still stained with tears. Seeing Shen Niangzi come in, Danhe was so excited that she cried loudly.
"Lord Wang, Lord Wang, Shen Niangzi, Shen Niangzi, the slave family really doesn't know anything, they just sent something to someone."
"Danhe, what's this all about?"
Shen Yining sighed helplessly.
"Lord Wang, Mrs. Shen, I must tell the truth. Shen Niangzi, you know, my brother is a good gambler, and because he can't pay the creditor's money, he sold me to Yanqing Pavilion as a maid. ”
"Last month, he came to pester me again, and threatened me with my little sister that if I didn't give him money, he would sell my little sister too. A few days later, I—I noticed that I had a letter under my pillow and a wooden box with three pieces of money in it. In the letter, Mrs. Qin said that she liked a gilded hairpin of Gu Niangzi, and wanted to lend it to polish a style, so she put the hairpin under my bedside, and someone would pick it up. ”
"I, I think that Qin Niangzi and Gu Niangzi have always been at odds, Qin Niangzi has a pungent temperament, and she loves to compare hairpin jewelry, and it is common to lend a hairpin. And this money and I are really life-saving money, so I took the hairpin out of Xue Niang's jewelry box. ”
Danhe took a breath and continued, "I thought it would be fine. However, who knew that last night, after I had served Xue Niang and rested, I returned to my bed and found a letter and a bag under my pillow. The letter said that this bag would be sent to the back door of Cao's house early in the morning, and if it was not delivered in time, I would report to Xue Niang and Zhou's mother that I had stolen hairpins, and I didn't dare to think about it, so I could only do it. It just so happened that this morning Xue Niang asked me to deliver the letter, and I went out smoothly. ”
"Why are you so sure that it was Qin Niangzi's letter?" Li Yu asked in a deep voice.
Although there is no signature on the letter, there is a red plum mark in the lower left corner of the letter. Qin Niangzi has always had this hobby when she wrote letters, and she thought it should be Qin Niangzi. ”
Danhe began to sob again.
Shen Yining secretly thought, all this evidence just pointed to Qin Niangzi.
"Where are the letters from before and this morning?" Shen Yining asked.
"The previous letters have been burned, and today's ones are still on me." As he spoke, he pulled out a piece of tissue paper from his sleeve.
Li Yu took the letter and looked at it carefully, the handwriting in the letter was beautiful, it was indeed a woman's handwriting, and there was a red plum blossom mark in the lower left corner. Later, he ordered someone to take Qin Niangzi's letters, and compared them one by one, the handwriting was indeed exactly the same.
Shen Yining came to Li Yu's side, picked up the two letters and looked at them carefully, and suddenly frowned.
"Lord, look ......"
Li Yu understood, nodded approvingly, and said with a smile: "Thank you Shen Niangzi, this king already has eyebrows." But I still need to ask Mrs. Shen for a small favor. ”
"Good!" Shen Yining replied loudly and smiled.
Two quarters of an hour later, the ladies of Yanqing Pavilion had gathered in the main hall.
Li Yu handed the letter paper in his hand to Qin Xiayun and asked in a deep voice, "Qin Niangzi, is this your letter?" ”
Qin Niangzi carefully looked at the letter paper in her hand, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed: "This, this is indeed the slave's letterhead, but this, this word, the slave family has not written!" ”
