34. The gentleman on the beam

That night, Wei Zijin did not leave Qiao Xiang and Huan'er to keep vigil, and asked them to go back to their rooms to rest. He sorted out the account books again alone and made sure they were correct, then he rubbed his sore neck and rested for a while.

It was late at night, but Wei Zijin was not sleepy at all. Looking at the moonlight, he simply walked to the yard and sat down.

A few days ago, she had been focusing on dealing with the people in Shangshu's mansion, and she didn't even leave herself any time to sort out her thoughts! Now that she was free, all those disturbing thoughts came to her mind.

Since she was reborn as Wei Zijin, she has been in the Shangshu Mansion. She has not inquired about the Li family, nor does she know how the Chao Gang is doing now, or whether Xiao Heng's position as emperor is secure!

When she thought of Xiao Heng, Wei Zijin's eyes showed suppressed hatred. Yes, she hated Xiao Heng. She also swore that as long as she had an afterlife, she would never forgive Xiao Heng for what he had done!

Just as she swore, now that God has given her such an identity and such an opportunity, how could she watch Xiao Heng helplessly, continue to embrace him in front of his emperor, and establish a new concubine?!

Before she could think of a way to deal with it, she could only stay in Shangshu Mansion for the time being, bide her time, and gradually regain her real power as the mistress of the house!

As for Shen Rui who doesn't like her and doesn't even want to step into her yard, it saves her a lot of trouble... The Second Madam, the Third Madam, the Fourth Madam, everyone is vying for favor, and everyone wants to plot against her.

Just like those women in Xiao Heng's harem, they would do anything to gain favor!

It's a pity that those ladies are far behind compared to the concubines in the harem, and her former queen was not for nothing!

And she will not be as merciful as she was in her previous life! She will never show mercy to anyone who blocks her way!

Wei Zijin secretly clenched his fists, no longer thinking about what happened in the previous life. Just as he was withdrawing from his distant thoughts, he suddenly heard a movement on the roof.

There was no breeze at the moment, and the movement was clearly the sound of accidentally stepping on a tile. Wei Zijin raised his head and glanced at the man on the roof who was almost blending into the night. Under the moonlight, he accidentally saw his waist.

From the jade pendant he was wearing, his identity was quickly guessed.

"Since the prince has already arrived in my yard, why do you need to be a gentleman on the beam?" Wei Zijin was a little surprised that he actually appeared on the beam of his roof, but after the brief surprise, he calmed down and said calmly.

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Jinyao, wearing a dark blue brocade robe, jumped down from the roof and came to her.

"How did you know it was me?" Xiao Jingyao didn't feel embarrassed when Wei Zijin exposed him and hid on the roof. Instead, he asked with great interest.

Wei Zijin met his playful gaze and smiled helplessly in her heart. Of course she couldn't tell him that she recognized the jade pendant he had been hanging on his waist!

"With such a powerful Qinggong, who else in this Shangshu Mansion besides the prince can be?" Wei Zijin asked a rhetorical question instead of answering.

Xiao Jamyao stared at her calm face thoughtfully, always feeling that she seemed to be hiding something from him. He was silent for a moment, and said with a leisurely smile: "You are a smart woman..."

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!" She seemed to realize that Jamel Xiao wanted to say something more and quickly interrupted him.

Xiao Jingyao was not annoyed either. Shi Shiran sat in front of her: "It's so late and you haven't gone to bed yet. Are you still worried about the account book?"
