Princess Anyang's Mansion.
"What? Murder case? Didn't you say that nothing happened and that he would be released soon?" Princess Anyang was very angry.
The scribe bowed and apologized, "Your Highness, please calm down! No one thought that Wang Gui would be killed... It turns out that the kidnapping has nothing to do with Chunyue Pavilion. Someone is setting up a trap to frame us..."
"Damn it, Chunyue Pavilion is my property, who dares to go against me?" Princess Anyang was furious.
The scribe said, "It all started when the Princess of the North Palace reported the case. This may be...her method..."
"What? This ant-like thing dares to frame me?" Princess Anyang was shocked, and then became even more angry.
The scribe thought to himself that when an ordinary man is angry, his blood will be splashed five steps away.
What you did last time by tricking her into going to the hot spring pool was too obvious.
And I don’t know how much Mr. Chang told her.
You've almost killed someone, but you still don't allow them to resist?
"Your Highness, please calm down. Xia Shi Jiaodan is already on her way to the capital. She is a grasshopper after autumn and won't be able to jump around for long." The scribe slandered in his heart, but looked very respectful on the outside.
Mentioning Xia Shi Jiaodan, Princess Anyang's mood eased slightly:
"A dying person is causing trouble for me. Letting her jump around like this is really an eyesore. This Dong Xiqin is of no use, so let's find someone else. Find another one!"
"yes……"
"Go and deliver my message to the Mingxin Division. Release my man immediately. What kind of murder case is this? Who is handling the case? Change this person!" Princess Anyang lost her temper.
The scribe replied, "The chief judge is Mr. Chu Jue, the commander of the Mingxin Division. He always likes to meddle in other people's business. This young man is ignorant. He will understand once I go there."
"Go quickly."
Princess Anyang was very angry.
She is the emperor's biological sister and has always been under the care of the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Who wouldn't give the eldest princess face?
……
The scribe went to Mingxin Division.
Chu Jue was thrown out without even seeing him.
The angry Princess Anyang went to Chu Jue's father angrily...
That’s a story for another day.
……
Bei Wangfu, Jinyuyuan.
"Sister-in-law, good news! The Mingxin Division has detained someone from Chunyue Pavilion and is handling it as a murder case..." Xie Ruojiao ran in happily.
She specially sent someone to inquire about the news from Mingxinsi.
As soon as I received the letter, I came to share the good news with Jiang Rong.
"Chu Jue is a good official." Jiang Rong smiled and nodded.
"Yes, this man used to be a playboy like my brother, skipping school every day. Unexpectedly, he has now become a good official who makes decisions for the people." Xie Ruojiao was convinced.
The maid was sorting out the boxes and cages, packing away the rouge sachets that Jiang Rong often used.
"Eh? Sister-in-law, are you packing your luggage? Are you going on a long trip?" Xie Ruojiao asked curiously.
Jiang Rong nodded slightly, "I heard that the lotus flowers in the Qiaoshui area are very beautiful. My husband asked me to go and have a look."
"I want to go too!" Xie Ruojiao's eyes flashed and she immediately raised her hand.
If you really want to go sightseeing and enjoy lotuses, you can take Xie Ruojiao with you. But they are going to do something big...
"No." A cold male voice came from outside the door.
Xie Lingxi, dressed in rich clothes, walked in surrounded by his maids.
"Why? I also want to play with my sister-in-law!" Xie Ruojiao held Jiang Rong's hand and didn't let go.
It’s still fun to play with my sister-in-law!
On weekdays, when I go to a banquet, what I see every day is just rich ladies competing with each other to show off who has bought new jewelry and clothes, and whose father and brother have been promoted. There is nothing new...
With Xie Ruojiao's background, everyone supports her. But she found it even more boring...
How could it be more thrilling than killing people and smashing up a brothel with my sister-in-law!
She is going to play with her sister-in-law!
"Second Miss, the prince and the prince's concubine are living together... loving each other, you understand, right?" Xiao Nanxing reminded her at the right time.
Xie Ruojiao suddenly realized it, thinking about it in her heart, but she could only nod:
"I understand. Then I won't disturb my brother and sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, I'll wait for you to come back and play with me!"
"Okay." Jiang Rong responded.
Xie Ruojiao took Jiang Rong and talked a lot before leaving without finishing her thoughts.
After a while.
Chu Shu came in and reported, "Young Master, what you asked for has been prepared."
Jiang Rong's beautiful eyes were bright, "Husband, let's go."
Before going out, Jiang Rong and Xie Lingxi went to say goodbye to the old concubine.
Women from aristocratic families are not allowed to travel far away and stay out overnight.
When traveling, you need to ask your elders for instructions, and you need to be accompanied by your father, brother, or husband.
"You guys are having fun. It's okay to play for a few more days. There's no need to rush back." Old Concubine Xie smiled kindly. "It's sultry in the capital, so it's a good time to go outside and enjoy the flowers."
Jiang Rong responded with a slight smile.
"By the way, the Chunyue Pavilion case..." Mrs. Xie was obviously also paying attention to the turmoil caused by the young couple. She looked at Jiang Rong and said:
"Don't worry. Grandma is keeping an eye on you. Princess Anyang will definitely put pressure on Mingxinsi, but our Northern Palace can do the same."
The original plan was to use Xie Lingxi's name to put pressure on Mingxinsi to prevent Mingxinsi from favoring the eldest princess's mansion.
Now, Mrs. Xie actually wants to come forward in person...
"Grandma, you..."
"Good children, you are doing the right thing, and your family should support you." Mrs. Xie smiled and touched her head:
"I know a little bit about Princess Anyang's character. She will retaliate. You have sealed Chunyue Pavilion, and she will not give up. I will let her know that you are the one protected by our Bei Palace, and no one can bully Bei. The Crown Princess of the Royal Palace."
Jiang Rong felt warm in her heart, "Thank you, grandma..."
"Go out and play. Tell grandma if you have something to do. Grandma will support you." Old Concubine Xie said with a smile.
……
One day later.
Qiaoshui area, Lotus Town.
A convoy carrying goods was rushing along the official road.
"Clang-"
The foot of the servant pulling the cart softened and he fell to the ground.
"You bastard, you broke the treasure in the car, and your life is not enough to pay for it." Sun Dagui said angrily as he whipped the slave.
Because the flowers are so delicate that they cannot withstand the bumps, they cannot use carriages.
Mianzhou is very mountainous, and the most reliable way to go through mountains and ridges is to use people to pull the cart...
"Master, we are all tired after a long day's journey. Can you please let us rest? We are all unsteady." An older servant begged in a low voice.
Sun Dagui stepped on his chest and said, "You bastards. These are the flowers sent to the eldest princess's house. Who are you? How dare you miss this noble lady! We must get to the capital before sunset tomorrow!"
Sun Dagui is the son of the manager of Mianzhou Villa.
There was actually a Xia Shi Jiao Dan in the villa. It was a gift that fell from the sky. The steward asked his son to lead a team to collect the reward in person.
"Master, don't behave like a pariah." The maid fanned him with a fan:
"The weather is hot, please get in the carriage to escape the heat."
Sun Dagui put his arm around her and turned around to get on the carriage. He turned around and urged, "Hurry up. If we can't reach the capital before sunset tomorrow, you all have no chance of getting back alive!"
The servants were so frightened that they pulled the cart with all their strength.
Sun Dagui and his maid were making out in the carriage.
The maid Jiao Didi asked, "Master, I heard that you will get a big reward this time!"
"No, this young master is going to be very successful this time. It's a pity that I can only meet the steward. If I can meet the eldest princess, the eldest princess will be happy and wonder what good things she can reward me with." Sun Dagui sighed with emotion.
At this time, he heard the sound of gongs from a distance, and someone sang loudly: "The eldest princess is traveling, pedestrians should give way!"
