Super cool! After the noble girl was reborn, her household registration book was wiped out Chapter 19 If you can tell, just give me as much as you want!
Chapter 19 If you can tell, just give me as much as you want!
Two people from the third room of the Xiao family died in a row in one day! This rumor spread like a gust of wind throughout Lanling City!
The people in the city had not had time to digest how the second young lady of the Xiao family looked and was so bold and romantic in the past two days, when they received the news of the second young lady’s death. Many people sighed and said, what a beauty.
Poor life!
Especially teahouses and restaurants where people from all walks of life gather, with people on three floors inside and three outside gathering around to join in the fun.
"What I'm telling you today is the story that the lady of the royal palace and the guards at home have to tell!" The storyteller's eyebrows were dancing with excitement and his eyes were ambiguous. The look on his face was undoubtedly reminding everyone that I know the inside story, come and ask me.
"Is this true?" Everyone loves to hear this kind of gossip, especially what happens in the noble's backyard!
"I said the day before yesterday that the young lady's figure is quite hot. I didn't expect that the madam would be even more..."
Seeing more and more people gathered around the teahouse, the people became more and more excited as they listened.
Suddenly, the sound of a tea bowl being placed heavily on the table overshadowed everything else, and everyone was startled. Those with sharp eyes discovered that the woman sitting in the teahouse drinking tea was none other than Princess Lanling of the Xiao family.
There was silence for a moment!
The storyteller was even more trembling. Although he did not mention anyone by name, everyone present knew that he was talking about the inner chamber of Prince Xiao's Mansion. I am afraid that there will be a lawsuit today. The people do not fight with the officials, as long as they go in
If you don't die, you will have to shed your skin.
Some viewers were secretly shocked, trying to remember whether they had said something they shouldn't have said, and when did the princess come?
Just as everyone was sweating over the storyteller, Xiao Wenjun's tense face suddenly broke out into a smile: "If you can speak, just speak more! This is your reward!"
A piece of silver landed steadily on the storyteller's desk!
In less than half a day, the news that Mr. Xiao had been cuckolded spread to every corner of Lanling.
…
Compared with the people watching the excitement at the entrance of Xiao Mansion, the mourning hall inside Xiao Mansion seemed too deserted. Except for the noble families who had business dealings with Mr. Xiao, most of the aristocratic families in Lanling City who came to express their condolences stopped for a while and then left.
A place where this is right and wrong.
Common people may not know what happened in the Xiao Mansion, but it is no secret to the powerful. Mr. Xiao is not the biological son of the old lady, and has no official status. He just relies on his family background to do business in Lanling. Li
He made another mistake and died.
The Xiao Mansion was all dressed in white overnight, and even the servants were wearing white clothes with hemp ropes tied around their waists. This shows that the old lady is not shy about her third wife!
Xiao Wenjun was only forcibly summoned by the old lady on the first day, and he never stepped foot into the mourning hall again! Even when he went up the mountain for burial, he found an excuse and excused himself!
Only Xiao Wenjun's Qinglan Courtyard was noisy day and night, and his clothes were the same as usual, even more flashy. Anyone with a discerning eye would know who this was for!
Mr. Xiao was guarding the mourning hall with a gloomy look on his face. Except for Xiao Shurou, the concubine from the third room, only the people from the second room were with him.
Xiao Shurou has just turned fifteen this year and was born to her deceased aunt. On weekdays, the third lady is extremely mean to her, and her biological father, Mr. Xiao, also turns a blind eye to this!
Xiao Shurou was dressed in filial piety, which made her original frail figure look even more delicate and endearing. She brought a cup of tea to the third master in person and said.
"Father, please forgive me and don't hurt yourself!"
The Third Master stretched out his hand to take the tureen, and looked at the eyes of the daughter in front of him with concern overflowing. He thought to himself, if the Lis and their daughters could be so considerate, they would not have reached this point.
"Rou'er, as a father, you will take good care of yourself! You are weak, so you should take care of yourself!" The third master smiled lightly.
"Yes, father!" Xiao Shurou concealed the emotion in her eyes. After the death of her mother and daughter, she was the only daughter left in the third bedroom. The father in front of her had no ambitions and had long been drained of her body by wine and sex. She was very interested in him.
He doesn’t have much affection, and he has always looked down upon him!
…
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
On Mingyue Tower, Mingyuan, who had not been seen for a long time, stood in front of Wang Jiuyuan and reported back.
"Master, my subordinates found out that horse thieves will be trading in the theater in the west of the city tomorrow afternoon."
"Can you find out who the other party is?" Wang Jiuyuan looked calm and caressed unconsciously with his fingers.
"We haven't found out yet. We only found out that he should be a relative of a wealthy businessman or dignitary in Lanling."
"Okay! You continue to secretly investigate the horse thief. Mingxiu will come with me to the theater tomorrow." Wang Jiuyuan closed the folding fan in his hand, slightly raised the corner of his mouth, and finally got a clue.
Wang Jiuyuan came to Lanling this time, ostensibly to visit the old lady. But secretly, he received a tip that horse thieves were causing trouble on the northwest border and had formed a vague force. The Kyoto court paid no attention to this, and Daqi was indeed at peace.
Over time, I have lost the vigilance I should have for danger.
When he comes to Lanling this time, he can only investigate secretly, and there will be many constraints. Princess Lanling may be a good shield and save himself a lot of trouble.
Xiao family, inside Qinglan courtyard.
"Princess, the Fourth Miss wants to see you." Chun Xia called outside the door.
Xiao Shurou? What is she here for?
"Let her come in." Xiao Wenjun's voice was flat, with no hint of emotion or anger.
"My sister has met the princess." Xiao Shurou made a blessing ceremony.
"No matter what happens, please go to the Three Treasures Palace. If you have anything to say, Fourth Sister, just say it!"
"The princess is really cheerful. I came here to negotiate a deal with Third Sister!" Xiao Shurou put aside her weak attitude and said seriously.
"You are from the third room, and the third uncle and I have been fighting to the death. How can I believe that this is not your plan?" Xiao Wenjun looked at the person in front of him with interest, and his expressions changed easily.
"Of course I want something from Third Sister. Only the princess in the entire Xiao Mansion can do this, and only you can do it! I want one hundred thousand taels of silver!" Xiao Shuyue said, her breathing becoming a little rapid.
With a hiss, Chun Xia gasped. The fourth lady asked for one hundred thousand taels. Do you really think that the banknotes were all blown by the strong wind, or are the people in their third house so generous? There was a third lady who took action before.
Ten thousand taels, and then the fourth lady asked for one hundred thousand taels!
"Since it's a deal, what can I get?" Xiao Wenjun sat up straight and made a gesture of invitation.
"My father's inside story is worth more than one hundred thousand taels to Third Sister. I heard that Princess Lanling's dowry could buy half of Lanling City." Xiao Shurou moved lightly and sat on the chair.
On the top, the hands in the sleeves were tightly clasped together, and fine beads of sweat oozed from the forehead.
"Fourth sister came here today, she must have come with sincerity, right?" Xiao Wenjun looked at her calmly for a long time, then suddenly smiled.
"Yes! Tomorrow, my father has reserved a room in the theater in the west of the city recently, and there seems to be an important meeting tomorrow." Xiao Shurou secretly exhaled, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.
"Okay! As long as you can provide accurate and valuable clues in the future, the third sister has agreed to this deal. After the deal is completed, one hundred thousand taels of silver will be given in full." Xiao Wenjun said cheerfully, but she changed the subject and continued.
"I will go there in person tomorrow!" Xiao Wenjun said bluntly, wanting to see what kind of medicine is sold in Fourth Sister's Gourd!
"There's no need for Third Sister to worry about it! The money I want is still in Third Sister's hands. Third Sister is still afraid that my younger sister will trick you?"
"Haha, I underestimated the fourth sister! Happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation!" Xiao Shurou stood up and left gracefully.
Xiao Wenjun looked at her retreating back and thought: Mr. Xiao has never been to the theater in his life, so if you meet someone in a theater, the identity of the other person is definitely not simple!
Especially Xiao Shurou, who was ambitious and capable, so I underestimated her.
I just don’t know why in the last life, Xiao Shurou married so poorly and died within a few years?
In the previous life, Li and Yu Wenyao had some connections, and he knew it, but they were also taken advantage of, and their end was not much better than now. Yu Wenyao was cut off from a financial path in advance, and he didn't know if he would still sit down.
Can you live in it?
So he said to Chunxia: "Book me a room next to Third Master, and I will go and see it myself tomorrow."
