Chapter 197: Shen Mansion (Nine Watches)

Not long after, the midnight brought the food, put it on the table one by one, Zhou Gu picked up the chopsticks, he stood aside, saw Zhou Gu eating the food silently, he whispered: "The eldest princess sent someone to ask three times, and the Duchess came in person, stood in the courtyard and looked at the grape trellis for a while, and asked her subordinates to let the kitchen warm the food for you, and then left."

Zhou Gu said "um".

No more noise in the middle of the night.

Zhou Gu didn't eat much, so he put down his chopsticks and asked Midnight, "How is the investigation of the assassination of Princess Qingping?"

Midnight hurriedly said: "Lord Jingzhao Yin Li was ordered by the emperor to lead people to search door to door, and the people of Dali Temple were also very cooperative, and many mansions have been searched, if Ming'er can't catch the thief, I'm afraid that our Protector's Mansion will also come to search."

Zhou Gu nodded and ordered, "You take someone to investigate secretly, since Su Rong came to Beijing, during this time, any suspicious person who enters the capital will not be spared."

Midnight blinked, "Childe, are you going to meddle in this case?"

Zhou Gu shook his head, "I just want to know, who are they who want to kill Su Rong."

"Kill Miss Seven?" Midnight was shocked.

"You just go." Zhou Gu waved his hand.

Midnight opened his mouth, nodded, and turned to go.

That night, due to the government's vigorous search for the assassins, the stirred houses in Beijing were closed, and even the Red Mansion Wine Store was closed to cooperate with the government's thorough investigation.

In Princess Qingping's mansion, Su Rong slept peacefully, and after breakfast, the housekeeper came to Zangjiao Pavilion and said to Duanhua, "County Lord, the carriage from the Shen Mansion has come to pick up Miss Seven, and it is the eldest prince Su who came in person. He said that the city was searching for assassins and making a mess, so he would not invite the county lord to the Shen Mansion today."

Duanhua flattened his mouth, "Okay."

She stood up and said to Su Rong, "I'll send you."

"Hmm." Su Rong nodded.

Duanhua instructed people to load everything that was used for Su Rong to buy it into the car, Su Rong was embarrassed, when she entered the princess's mansion, she only carried a small package, which can be regarded as coming empty-handed.

Outside the gate of the mansion, Su Xing was waiting there, and saw Su Rong and Duanhua coming out hand in hand, and the housekeeper drove a car out, the car was full of things, and he couldn't make any expressions on the side.

The horse has gone to the palace, Princess Qingping learned that Su Rong was leaving, and she also came out to see her off, she had a pair of dark circles in her eyes, and she didn't sleep well yesterday, barely getting up, and her spirit was a little weak, but she still lovingly helped Su Rong straighten the hairpin, and instructed: "Be careful, if you have something to send someone to the princess's mansion to send a message to the palace, you are not allowed to see outside."

Su Rong nodded, "Don't worry, princess, I wrote it down."

Princess Qingping looked at Su Xingze again, "Now that the capital is in chaos, if there is nothing to do, it is better to go out and walk around less. What's more, with your talent, you just need to be patient and wait for the list to be released, and you don't need to make friends too much."

Su Xing should have said, "What the princess said, keep in mind the line."

Princess Qingping waved her hand, "Let's go!"

Duanhua pulled Su Rong and didn't let go, "I don't know if the birthday banquet of the little daughter in the Chengguo Mansion will be held, if so, will you still go?"

"Go."

"If you go, I'll go." Duanhua immediately said, "If you don't do it, I'll go to you again when I catch the thief." ….

"Yes."

After the two agreed, Duanhua finally let go and reluctantly let Su Rong go.

After Su Rong got into the carriage, Su Xing also got into the carriage, and the carriage of the Shen Mansion slowly left the princess's mansion.

On the carriage, Su Xing looked at Su Rong and smiled angrily, "You are really ...... How did you coax Princess Qingping and Lord Duanhua? If you don't say anything about living for so long, it's not to leave the capital, it's just to go to the Shen Mansion, so it's worth saying goodbye to you like this."

Su Rong grinned, "I'm a rare recruit."

Su Xing shook his head with a smile, "You are ready, go to the Shen Mansion, Uncle Shen wants to ask you, you think about what to say." , He smiled and lowered his voice, "After Aunt Shen saw you, she asked me about your mother, after the banquet in the Ruian Palace, there are many

The older ladies have seen you, and your appearance is so dazzling that I am afraid that I will soon be unable to hide your identity."

Su Rong nodded, since she came to Beijing, she didn't want to hide her identity.

There was a coachman from the Shen Mansion in front of the car, and it was inconvenient to speak in the carriage, so the brother and sister simply talked a few words and then stopped.

The carriage returned to the Shen Mansion smoothly, and Su Xing got out of the carriage first, and turned around to reach out to help Su Rong, only to see her jump out of the carriage from the other side.

He withdrew his hand blankly, and sure enough, everything in the Ruian Palace's ceremony was for people to see, and now no one is looking, she is still the leather monkey who meets her will.

The housekeeper of the Shen Mansion had been waiting at the door, and when he saw that Su Xing had picked someone back, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile to salute, "Miss Seven, you are finally here, the master did not go to the government today, and he specially waited for you in the mansion."

Su Rong was flattered, "Uncle Shen is too polite!"

The housekeeper looked at a carriage from the Princess's Mansion parked behind the carriage of the Shen Mansion, which was full of things, and hurriedly asked, "......What is this carriage?"

"It was during my stay in the princess's mansion that the princess and the county lord bought for me, and I can't refuse." Su Rong sighed, "I'm sorry for you to take everyone off!"

The housekeeper hurriedly responded, "Your yard has already been cleaned up, and after the old slave unloads these, he will send someone to your house."

Su Rong nodded.

The housekeeper called someone to unload the car, and then accompanied the brother and sister inside.

"The lord and the lady are waiting for you in the main courtyard, saying that you are your own family, so you don't have to go to the living room, go directly to the main courtyard." The housekeeper explained.

Su Rong nodded.

Shen Mansion is naturally different from the princess mansion luxury, but everywhere is simple atmosphere, after crossing the second gate, to the boundary of the backyard, it is another difference, the backyard is more elegant than the front yard, the courtyard of the house is full of comfort.

Su Rong thought to himself, Mrs. Shen must be a person who can live, and she keeps the mansion in an orderly manner and comfortable everywhere.

At the gate of the main courtyard, there was a middle-aged couple standing, Mrs. Shen Su Rong had already seen it, and the middle-aged man with a serious face beside him was naturally Shen Xian, the secretary of the ministry.

Although Su Xing guessed in his heart that the two of them were afraid that they had doubts about Su Rong's identity, but now that they were not waiting in the house, they specially greeted them at the gate of the courtyard, and their guesses were even more certain in their hearts, and they said to Su Rong in a low voice, "It's Uncle Shen and Aunt Shen."

Su Rong nodded, followed Su Xing and walked a few steps quickly, came to the front, and greeted with a smile, "Uncle Shen, Aunt Shen." ….

Mrs. Shen also stepped forward and took her hand with a smile, "You child, you don't need to be polite, I heard that when you are at home, you don't like to be restrained, and when you come to the Shen Mansion, you should be in your own home."

Su Rong grinned, "It turns out that my brother has already sold me, since Aunt Shen said so, I'm welcome."

"You're welcome." Mrs. Shen laughed.

Shen Xian's serious face also rarely had a little smile, and he said with his hands behind his back, "Go in and talk."

The group entered the main courtyard.

When they came to the painting hall, several people sat down, and after the people put melons and fruits and refreshments, Mrs. Shen waved her hand to let people go down.

Shen Xian looked at Su Rong, he had also seen the county lord of Zhenmin, when Zhenmin saved the country, promised the Great Wei and his relatives, and all the civil and military officials went to the city gate to see off the county lord, and he was also one of them. He heard from his wife yesterday that Su Rong looked very much like the county lord Zhenmin, and now when he sees it, he is really similar.

Mrs. Shen also looked at Su Rong and asked her, "Did the assassination of the princess yesterday scare you? To say that this thief is really rampant, blue sky and white day, it is really bold."

Su Rong shook his head, "I'm also bold, and I'm not scared."

Madame Shen sighed, "You kid, that's an assassin, it is said that the cold arrow is very fast and sharp, if it is not opened, it will either die or be injured."

Shen Xian took over, "It was a cold arrow coming at her, even if Princess Qingping and Lord Duanhua were scared, she would not be scared. This kind of thing, if my guess is right, I haven't experienced a thousand, but eight hundred."

Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Xian for a moment, surprised and wondered undisguisedly, obviously they didn't talk about this yesterday.

Su Rong smiled and admitted, "Uncle Shen is really powerful, no wonder you can be a big official, this kind of thing, I have experienced it since I was a child, and I really won't be scared."

Since he said so directly, she would not refuse to admit it, just as Princess Qingping and the concubine asked her.
