Chapter 84 The first crime scene
As the protagonist of this ceremony, Cheng Xin naturally ushered in waves of politeness and greetings. She also took this opportunity to meet the vast majority of the women and ladies present.
As a first-class lady of the imperial edict, the Prime Minister naturally could not take the initiative to chat with the juniors.
However, this did not prevent her from instructing Wen Huimin to come over.
Wen Huimin claimed that she had a relationship with Cheng Xin for two years, which was naturally different from others. She squeezed into the crowd and took Cheng Xin's arm.
"Cheng Xin, come and have a look. Do you like the gift I gave you?"
Cheng Xin was led to the table with gifts on the side, and saw her pulling out a brocade box from it and put it in front of her.
At this moment, a plot update suddenly appeared in the system.
She didn't have to open the brocade box to know that there was a piece of extremely expensive jade inside, and Wen Yunxian was just a sachet with exquisite workmanship.
I thought Wen Huimin would use the gifts of the two of them as a raft, so Cheng Xin didn't plan to open it.
"Everyone gives me all my heart, I like every one."
"You'd better open it and take a look." Wen Huimin opened the brocade box without saying anything, and indeed a piece of round and shiny jade lay inside.
"This is soaked in the hot spring water of Tengchong's territory. It is the most nourishing person. You can use it when you bathe in the future. It can open up the meridians and activate the meridians and is very beneficial to the body."
There is no need to mention the benefits of bathing in a hot spring. Cheng Xin nodded and put the jade back.
Wen Huimin opened this head, and other ladies who wanted to make friends with Cheng Xin also asked her to open the gift.
At this time, Wen Huimin pulled out the small wooden box at the bottom: "Oh, isn't this a gift from my elder sister?"
Before Cheng Xin could stop him, the small wooden box was opened, revealing a sachet embroidered with green bamboo.
"That's it?" Wen Huimin picked it up: "Big sister, why did you give someone a sachet?"
A laughter suddenly came from the crowd watching, and the eldest lady of the Wen family was stingy and was different from the third lady of the Wen family.
Although he knew this was the plot, Cheng Xin could not help but give Wen Huimin a secret glance.
Does she know whether she knows the truth that both prosper and loses both? Wen Yunxian is ridiculed here, but in fact she is losing the face of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
As a lady in the Prime Minister's Mansion, what benefits can she get?
However, it is obvious that Wen Huimin doesn't realize this, or even realizes that she doesn't care. As long as Wen Yunxian can't get out of Taiwan, she will be happy to do anything.
This is probably the feud between the heroine and the second female lead.
Cheng Xin took the sachet, looked through it carefully, and said, "Miss Wen's female hero is a masterpiece. She inherits the skills of Jiangsu embroidery in Jiangnan. Looking at the entire capital, I'm afraid that only Miss Wen can produce such a good sachet."
When the ladies around heard this, they hurried over to check it out. Then, more and more people agreed with Cheng Xin's views.
Even if they don’t need to rely on the girl to support their families, they must be good at this. After seeing this sachet, their originally contemptuous eyes also became admirable.
"This tastes very special. Miss Wen is really a clever and skillful person."
"Yes, it's more sincere than what you can buy with money."
Several ladies changed their attitudes one after another.
Wen Yunxian was prepared to be ridiculed, after all, it was like this before. No matter what she gave, Wen Huimin could find a way to be worthless. But in this blink of an eye, the direction of the wind changed and came in a favorable direction.
Wen Yunxian looked at Cheng Xin deeply: "It's good if Miss Cheng likes it."
But he didn't expect Cheng Xin to stuff the sachet back: "The skills are good, but I don't like bamboo. By the way, I heard from the palace maids that the peonies in the yard are blooming, so why not go and have a look together?"
Seeing Cheng Xin greeting everyone and leaving, Wen Huimin glanced at Wen Yunxian with a funny look: "So what's going on with Nu Hong? Isn't it that I won't accept your affection? Don't think I don't know what you are thinking about. I tell you that as long as I'm here, there will be no door."
After saying that, she carried the hem of the skirt and ran outward: "Cheng Xin, wait for me."
The hall was mostly empty. Wen Yunxian stood there for a moment and came to the Duke and Grandmaster to bow.
The Duke's Madam's eyes moved slightly, and he nodded to her, and then stopped expressing himself.
Wen Yunxian swept for a week but couldn't see the young master, and she couldn't help but wonder.
Why did she think the relationship between these masters in Duke Anguo's mansion is a bit weird? As a mother, she must have some expressions from her daughter and her wedding ceremony, but from beginning to end, neither of them nor their daughters even had any expressions, nor even their eyes to communicate.
It’s like when he went out to appreciate the flowers, Cheng Xin just asked Concubine Shu and the third princess, but did not talk to Duke An Guoma.
Could it be that there is any gap between them, mother and daughter? It’s just that Miss Anguo drowned early in her previous life, and there is no rumor about the matter between them, mother and daughter.
Thinking of this, she turned her gaze to the third princess who were talking to Concubine Shu.
This person accepted her as his adopted daughter in his previous life.
...
Cheng Xin took advantage of the excuse of each admiring flowers and got rid of a family of ladies and came to the lakeside of Mingyao Palace alone.
This is where the new plot takes place.
‘Little Book, the plot says that Wen Yunxian will meet the eldest prince here?’
The little book said: ‘Don’t it all be written? She came to the lake to get some breath and met the eldest prince who was basking in the sun on the grass.’
‘Is the word encounter used like this? Don’t add words to yourself. It’s obvious that you accidentally disturbed the eldest prince for a nap and almost got scolded.’
The author's several scene descriptions depict the image of the eldest prince's indifferent, withdrawn and sarcastic tongue. Cheng Xin felt more and more that the alias of this novel is "The Strong Joining of a Black-bellied and a Self-Strengthful and Wise Woman".
However, how could the eldest prince come to the Mingyao Palace?
Cheng Xin quickly glanced at the grass by the lake. Except for a few big stones, the grass was completely visible from any angle.
Standing in her position, it is easy to be seen.
Cheng Xin immediately found the nearby big stone and hid behind.

But she didn't expect that as soon as she hid, she heard footsteps coming from the other side of the stone. Then the sound of a person lying on the grass.
‘My little guy, this is the first crime scene.’ Xiaoshu’s tone was full of excitement.
Cheng Xin didn't know that she had such luck. It was not just her big stone here. She picked it casually, so why did she choose it?
But at this moment she didn't want to be discovered by the person on the other side of the big stone, so she had to hold her breath and squat quietly.
After a cup of tea, footsteps came again.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer and suddenly stopped.
The person coming was Wen Yunxian.
