Chapter 157: It's Really You
Without Pei Yao to accompany her, Qiao Ruolan naturally didn't want to continue to hang out, and she returned to the eldest princess's mansion in a depressed mood.
stroked the piano in his yard for a while, and when he thought of Yu Wenrui saying that she had average piano skills that day, he was so angry that he smashed the piano.
Recently, everything has really not gone well, not only did she make a fool of herself at the palace banquet, but even Shen Yanshu couldn't fight, she should be most happy that she could marry Pei Yao, but now Pei Yao's attitude makes her feel cold.
Seeing that she smashed the piano, the maid on the side hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss, why bother, it's not worth it to be angry with your body." β
Qiao Ruolan's eyes flashed with a hint of unwillingness: "Qi Yunge has been dead for so long, Pei Yao still misses her, this slut is really ghostly!"
The slave said: "Why should Miss be angry with a dead person, anyway, Pei Yao Shizi will still be Miss Yours in the end, and she will never get it." β
The maidservant's words eased Qiao Ruolan's mood, in the past, she could hold back even if she was angry again, but today Shen Yanshu really made her angry, even Pei Yao didn't help her, her fiancΓ©e, so she would lose her temper like this.
She took a deep breath to try to calm herself down.
She can't be so easily grumpy.
"If those people don't have to complete their tasks today, don't keep them. Qiao Ruolan said.
originally wanted to use a trick to get rid of Shen Yanshu, but unfortunately this Shen Yanshu seemed to be much more difficult than she imagined.
The servant girl answered "yes", then picked up the piano on the ground and walked out directly.
Qiao Ruolan rubbed her head, but she felt very tired, if only she could avenge Shen Yanshu's revenge before she left Chang'an.
She got up and walked into her room, then opened the cabinet, took out the box in the middle, touched the box with some relief, and then opened it gently.
It contained her wedding dress, and she picked it up and gestured on her body, and her mood instantly became comfortable.
In a few days, it will be the big day for her and Pei Yao, she has been waiting for this day for many years, and now she can finally realize her long-cherished wish for many years, how can she not be happy?
She still remembers that when she first met Pei Yao, she was only ten years old, because her mother beat and scolded a maid at a palace banquet, and the maid held a grudge and pushed her into the lake while everyone was not paying attention.
Just when she was about to sink to the bottom of the lake, she suddenly felt that someone grabbed her hand, and then rescued her, she was dragged to the shore, and saw Pei Yao's face in a blur, at that moment she felt that Pei Yao was the best person in the world.
So from that time on, she decided that she must marry Pei Yao in the future and be his wife to repay his kindness.
But there is always a nasty existence by his side, and that is Qi Yunge.
So she worked harder than others, in order to be able to compare Qi Yunge and all the other women, so that he could see herself in his eyes.
"Miss, it's not good!" the maid who had just gone out trotted into the courtyard in a bit of a panic.
Qiao Ruolan put away the wedding dress, then put the box back in the cabinet, and turned to look at the maidservant who came in: "What is the matter so loud?"
The maidservant hurriedly saluted Qiao Ruolan and said, "Today, the few people in our mansion who went to find Shen Yanshu to trouble, I don't know what's going on, they actually recruited the princess's mansion in Jingzhao Mansion, and now Jingzhao Mansion Yin ordered someone to come to investigate." β
Qiao Ruolan didn't expect things to be like this, she frowned slightly: "How could this be?"
Although she did not come forward in this matter, but it was also done by the people of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and it must have some impact.
The maidservant said, "Not only those people recruited the princess's mansion, but even the old woman's family came over and said that they wanted us to give an explanation. β
"Didn't you already give them benefits?" Qiao Ruolan said.
The maidservant said: "The old woman's son is a gambler, and he owes a lot of debts, and the old woman agreed to do such a thing in order to repay the debt for her son, but her son did not pay the debt immediately after he had the money, but took the money to gamble, and owed more, so he thought of coming to us with this matter." β
A trace of disgust flashed in Qiao Ruolan's eyes: "It's useless to keep such a person, just solve it." β
The maidservant nodded.
"As for those people who are locked up in Jingzhao Mansion, even if they know that they are the people from the Eldest Princess's Mansion, they didn't kill people or set fires, and their mothers are here, even Jingzhao Mansion Yin can't do anything with them. Qiao Ruolan said.
For these people, her mother, Princess Pingle, always had the most effective pungent methods.
When the maid thought of the thunderous means of the eldest princess of Pingle, she was also relieved, and gave Qiao Ruolan a salute and said, "The slave and maid are saved." β
Qiao Ruolan looked at the back of the maid leaving, and when she thought of Shen Yanshu, her narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she snorted coldly.
The person who was lost in Ji Anbo Mansion was the first time she was so embarrassed since she was a child, how could she let Shen Yanshu go!
The weather in summer is getting hotter and hotter, and when the sun is fierce at noon, people in Chang'an City are hiding at home and not going out or drinking tea and listening to books between major teahouses and restaurants, or chatting with others about the latest gossip.
This newly opened Yunshang Building quickly gained a firm foothold in Chang'an, with the taste of Jiangnan, and it is a place where many literati and scholars love to gather here.
"Don't you know, Mao Qiangzi, who often goes to the Gathering Wealth Pavilion, died, and I heard that he still owes the Gathering Wealth Pavilion thousands of taels of silver!"
"In a big gambling house like Jucai Pavilion, it's nothing to lose a little silver, they make a lot of money. β
"How did that son of yours die?"
"I told you secretly, I heard that it was the people from the Eldest Princess's Mansion who killed ......"
A few men in the Yunshang Building who were chatting with tea in the lobby, although the voice was not loud, but the content of the conversation was to make the people around listen attentively, how could the people from the eldest princess's mansion kill a gambler?
The man continued: "Although this Mao Qiangzi can't marry a daughter-in-law, but there is an old mother in her seventies above, for Mao Qiangzi's debts, it's really heartbreaking, and then one day, a person came to her and told her that she could give a sum of money to pay off the gambling debts of her son, do you say this condition is tempting?"
The person at the table: "How can there be such a good thing in the world?"
"You're right. The man said, "It's okay to ask for money, but the man made a condition, saying that he wanted her life!"
Everyone was shocked, and the anti-transferor was caught off guard, and there was a chill behind them.
"It's so bright in broad daylight, can they still kill people like this!" said another person at the same table in a loud voice, his face incredulous.
The man waved his hand, and then said, "No, the man said that as long as the old woman does her a favor, let her use her life to frame someone." β
"Tut-tut, what the hell are these people trying to do?"
"Actually, that person is from the Eldest Princess's Mansion, the third lady of the Shen family was framed and killed a few days ago, you know, and it has nothing to do with this matter. The old woman who died was the old mother of Mao Qiangzi, and the other people who were coaxing on the side were also from the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and they really took great pains to frame Miss Shen San. β
The others were surprised: "Why did the people of the Eldest Princess's Mansion use their lives to frame Miss Shen San like this?"
The man glanced at him, and then said faintly: "A few days ago, the county lord of the Eldest Princess's Mansion Ruolan had a conflict with Miss Shen San in Ji'anbo Mansion, and wanted to frame Miss Shen, but was thrown into the lake by Miss Shen. β
"The twists and turns of these big families are really terrifying, they are so careless of human life!"
"I heard that the owner of Ruolan County is very good, but I didn't expect it to be all pretended, who can know what is dirty in it!"
"What can be taught in the eldest princess's mansion is good, it is all with her mother'......"
There was a lot of talk among the people, but everyone who spread the word about it was well known.
Qiao Ruolan, who originally thought that she had handled it well, was even more furious after knowing about it.
At this time, Shen Yanshu was sitting on the second floor of Yunshang Building, looking down with a veil.
"Where did these people go, it's good. Shen Yanshu said.
Xi Yan stepped forward and said, "These people used to be in charge of spying on the situation in the Zhenbei Army, and these things are a piece of cake for them. β
Shen Yanshu said: "Let them not always talk in Yunshang Building, and occasionally go to other restaurants and teahouses." β
Xiyan bowed: "Got it." β
If such news always spreads in Yunshang Tower, Yunshang Tower will be targeted by others sooner or later.
However, the eldest princess's mansion has always been arrogant, with the support of the emperor, even petty officials dare not provoke, let alone these ordinary people?
It's just that Shen Yanshu knows that the county lord of Ruolan cherishes his reputation very much, and these rumors will make her want to make her promise for a long time.
She walked out of Yunshang Tower, because she was wearing a veil, but she didn't attract much attention.
The journey from Yunshang Tower to Shen Mansion was not short, and when she walked to a street with few people, Shen Yanshu suddenly heard someone calling her from behind.
"Yunge. β
She subconsciously turned around, but saw Pei Yao standing behind her.
Pei Yao stared at her eyes, those eyes were rolling, and he couldn't tell whether he was shocked or happy at this time.
Only then did Shen Yanshu realize that he had been fooled.
"It's really you. Pei Yao said, his tone was very affirmative.
Shen Yanshu's gaze suddenly turned cold: "I don't know what you're talking about." β
Pei Yao stepped forward and said softly, "I know it's you, you didn't die." β
Shen Yanshu frowned: "Pei Yao Shizi, I really don't know what you're talking about, if you don't have anything else, I'll leave first." β
She was about to turn around after speaking, but Pei Yao took her hand.
Shen Yanshu suddenly broke free, took out a dagger from his sleeve and stabbed him directly in the arm, the blue brocade robe was cut through a hole, and there were faint blood stains soaking his clothes, but Shen Yanshu's eyes did not change at all.
She said: "Qi Yunge is already dead, and even the bones have been burned to ashes. She didn't see you do anything when she died, and she thought of me as if she wanted to reduce the condemnation of your conscience?Heh, I forgot...... Where will you have a conscience!"
