"I heard that the two brothers of the previous owner lost a lot of money in the gambling house, so I went to borrow money from the current owner, and in order to borrow money smoothly, I mortgaged the shop under my name.

Who knew that the borrowed money was lost again, and they were not convinced and used other shops to borrow money, and they kept losing money, kept mortgaging, and then there was the current situation. ”

After the old shopkeeper finished speaking, he couldn't help but sigh, "The old ancestor is really right, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to defend the country." ”

Luo Yao understood the cause and effect, and helped the old shopkeeper scold the two brothers of the Shu family a few words, and left.

On the way back, she sorted out the general process of the change of ownership of the Shujia store in her mind.

Could it be that Chu Lin deliberately made a game, deliberately let the two Shu brothers lose money, and used the method of borrowing money from him to get the store of the two Shu brothers.

It's not without this possibility.

But why did Chulin want the shop of the two Shu brothers?

Is he targeting the two brothers of the Shu family, or Shu Qing, or the Prime Minister's Mansion?

There are too many mysteries about this Chu Lin, and if he wants to figure out his purpose, it seems that he has to ask the person concerned.

When she came to her senses, she realized that she had walked outside a gambling house.

The parties are not only the two brothers of the Shu family and Chu Lin, but also the people in the gambling house, if you can find the insider of the gambling house where the two brothers of the Shu family gamble, you may be able to give her a lot of news.

How do I find it?

She immediately thought of Xiao Ziyi, the fourth prince.

Xiao Zi has been in major gambling houses for an abnormal year, and she will definitely be able to help her find an insider.

Find Xiao Ziyi!

She searched all the streets and alleys of Pingdu, and when it was almost dark, she didn't find Xiao Ziyi's figure.

She could only drag her tired body back to the abandoned house, and as soon as she returned to the courtyard, she saw Li Xingchen, Bi Tao, and Xiaoxue sitting in the house waiting for her, and there was a sumptuous dinner on the table.

Seeing that she was back, the three of them got up at the same time to greet her.

"Princess, you can count it back." Bi Tao Road.

Xiaoxue also hurriedly said, "Where have you been?" Why did you come back so late? ”

"Went to do something." She caught a glimpse of the food on the table, "Next time I don't come back, you eat first, don't wait for me." ”

"How can that work?"

As she spoke, she handed her a wet handkerchief to wipe her hands.

After wiping her hands, she sat down, but the other three stood aside, and did not take their seats for a long time.

"What are you doing?" She asked, confused.

"You eat first."

She didn't get up angrily, pressed the three of them back to the seat one by one, and said, "From now on, everyone will be a family, and you don't have to call me Princess, Miss or Miss, or your name." ”

Bi Tao and Xiao Xue glanced at each other, but neither of them spoke.

"That's it."

After speaking, she took the initiative to serve them vegetables.

Li Xingchen smiled and thanked him with chopsticks, and asked curiously: "Sister, you are the princess, why do you still live here?" You shouldn't ......?"

Before he could finish his sentence, Bi Tao kicked him under the table and reminded him not to talk too much.

He glanced at Bi Tao, then he reacted and hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry!" I said the wrong thing. ”

"It doesn't matter, I was a princess before, and I won't be in the future."

From the night she moved here, she left Xiao Yan in her heart.

She is no longer a princess.

and Xiao Yan have nothing to do with it.

During the meal, Bi Tao suddenly mentioned, "Miss, I re-washed all the clothes in your room if I had nothing to do today, and accidentally wet a letter from you, but fortunately, the letter is blank." ”

Just when Bi Tao was rejoicing, she suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up.

"What did you say?"

Bi Tao was startled by her reaction, and Zhigo explained, "It's the letter......"

After listening to Bi Tao's words, she rushed back to the room, and only the jade pendant with words was left in the closet, and the letter was gone.

"Miss......"

Bi Tao looked at her apologetically, too frightened to say more than half a word.

She hurriedly turned back and asked, "What about the letters?" ”

"I didn't dare to lose it, so I put the letter in the yard to dry, and I went and brought it to you."

"Take me there."

"Yes."

Luo Yao hurriedly followed Bi Tao to the courtyard, and found the dried letter on the pyre in the corner of the courtyard.

Seeing her looking at the letter, Bi Tao finally breathed a sigh of relief and comforted herself, "I finally didn't lose it." ”

She was stunned when she got the letter.

On the letter, which was originally without words, there were lines of dense small characters.

It can be seen that the letter was written by Lan Qin before his death, and the letter said that he instructed Luo Yao to live a good life, not to remember her death, and not to be an enemy of Luo Zhenming.

Lan Qin had long known about Luo Zhenming and Shu Qing, she said that she owed Luo Zhenming and asked Luo Yao to be filial to Luo Zhenming.

What does Lan Qin owe Luo Zhenming?

What happened between Lan Qin and Luo Zhenming? So that even if she knew that Luo Zhenming was raising her outside room behind her back, she would not hold any grudge against Luo Zhenming.

Luo Yao stood in place with the letter in her hands, never thinking about it.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken, Bi Tao couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" ”

She didn't reply, she turned her head and saw Xiaoxue and Li Xingchen standing at the door, and she walked straight towards Xiaoxue.

"Xiaoxue, come to my room."

"Oh."

Xiaoxue glanced at Bi Tao and Li Xingchen suspiciously, and followed her back to the room.

Seeing Xiaoxue coming, she pointed to the chair, "You sit." ”

Xiaoxue hurriedly shook her head, "The slave doesn't dare to sit." ”

"I have just said, in the future, everyone is a family, you don't have to be commensurate with slaves and maids, let you sit, you can sit!"

Xiaoxue's injuries are still healing and she can't stand for a long time.

Xiaoxue sat down obediently and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Miss calling me here?" ”

"When you were in the Prime Minister's Mansion, did you hear anyone mention my father's mother?"

Xiaoxue nodded, "Some of the older grandmothers are well-informed, and I have occasionally heard them mention the prime minister and the eldest lady. ”

"What did you say?"

Xiaoxue recalled carefully and said: "They said that the prime minister and the eldest lady respected each other like guests, and on the surface it seemed that the husband and wife were in love, but in fact they were very unfamiliar. ”

Luo Yao frowned, "Why would they say that?" ”

"They said that the prime minister and the eldest lady don't have much eye contact, even if they occasionally do, they usually look like strangers, not like loving couples at all, and ......"

Seeing that Xiaoxue suddenly became distracted, she hurriedly asked, "What else?" ”

"I heard it too, I don't know if it's true."

After a pause, Xiaoxue continued: "I heard that the prime minister and the eldest lady don't live together, and occasionally they live together once or twice, and the prime minister will leave in the middle of the night. ”

Luo Zhenming only has one wife, Lan Qin, but the two don't live together.

It does sound outlandish.

"What else?" Luo Yao asked again.

"I heard that the prime minister met the second lady during that time, and since then he rarely goes to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady never asks, and the two of them are not quite like a couple." Xiaoxue truthfully relayed the words of the grandmothers to Luo Yao.

If what these grandmothers said is true, then the relationship between Luo Zhenming and Lan Qin is indeed very strange.

If you want to find out the reason, you have to ask Luo Zhenming.

In the middle of the night, Luo Yao, dressed in men's clothes, put on a mask, quietly left the abandoned mansion, and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The car entered the Prime Minister's Mansion and came to Luo Zhenming's room, and the sound of Luo Zhenming and Shu Qing's conversation came from inside the house, making her frown.
