Manager Zhao felt cold all over, Wei E disappeared, and the princess came to visit again. This was definitely not a coincidence.
what to do?
Manager Zhao suddenly panicked.
If Wei E was here, they could stay behind closed doors and slowly think of a solution. Now that Wei E is missing, they don't know if she fell into the hands of the princess.
The more Manager Zhao thought about it, the more frightened he became: "Have people guard the door and don't allow anyone to come in or out."
The servant said: "But they are already calling the door."
Manager Zhao immediately greeted Zhuangzi at the door, and then he heard someone say: "Our eldest lady has something to talk to Zhuangtou."
There was no room for change in such a tone. If they were just suspicious, people would test them. Obviously Princess Jian discovered their purpose.
"We are the Xu family of the Anyi Marquis Mansion."
With another sentence, Manager Zhao seemed to have been poured a basin of ice water from head to toe, as well as the people from the Anyi Hou Mansion.
No one answered for a long time.
Xu Qinghuan looked at Princess Jian: "Princess, it seems we are going to force our way in."
Princess Jian was shocked: "Would it be bad?"
"The door is closed tightly, with a defensive look, and the stewards inside are unwilling to come and talk to us," Xu Qinghuan said. "The more secretive they are, the more suspicious it becomes."
After Xu Qinghuan said this, he seemed to be trying to comfort Princess Jian: "Princess, if you don't go now, they may destroy the evidence later and there will be no way to verify it."
Princess Jian nodded subconsciously.
Xu Qinghuan told Uncle Lei: "Uncle Lei, go ahead!"
Uncle Lei responded and led the people towards Zhuangzi.
"Don't worry, Princess," Xu Qinghuan said, "The gate of Zhuangzi should be opened soon. We can go and see it after we find some certificates."
Princess Jian breathed a sigh of relief. She was still afraid that Xu Qinghuan would follow her: "Yes, that's good, so as not to make them angry."
"Stop, what are you going to do? In broad daylight, there is no law."
As the sound rang out, Xu Qinghuan looked at Princess Jian, who looked out of the carriage window with a somewhat curious look on her face.
Xu Qinghuan said: "The princess doesn't know about this Zhuangzi?"
Princess Jian looked around: "Although I know a lot about the villages nearby, I really don't know who the owner of this place is, otherwise I can help you find out."
"I previously suspected that the princess knew."
Princess Jian was a little shocked when she heard Xu Qinghuan's words. Miss Xu's words were not accurate. Why would she doubt her... But this is not important.
Xu Qinghuan continued: "Since the princess doesn't know, I should tell the princess the inside story."
Princess Jian's eyes fell on the door of Zhuangzi. The people inside were walking around in a panic. She had heard in the past that the prince of the Anyi Marquis Mansion liked to cause trouble, and now it seemed that Miss Xu was not bad at all.
These two brothers and sisters are really serious about this and will not show mercy at the critical moment.
Princess Jian had felt very plain these past two days, but today she was in a good mood. She listened to Xu Qinghuan's words and looked at the scene in front of her.
Xu Qinghuan said: "My brother met people from this village near an acquaintance's house."
Princess Jian nodded, this must be the reason.
"We are familiar with that family and have often moved around over the years..."
When Princess Jian heard this, she couldn't help but sigh: "The more familiar we are with people, the harder it is to talk about such things. It's not good to talk too much, and it's even worse not to remind them." At this point, Princess Jian felt that something was wrong again.
, but shouldn’t Song Chengxuan be the one raising the wife? Where did Miss Xu come from? Could it be that she guessed wrong?
While thinking about it, something was handed into the carriage.
"Miss, I found this from Zhuangzi."
What Uncle Lei brought was a box of fragrant powder. Xu Qinghuan took it in his hand and slowly opened the lid.
This smell felt very familiar to Princess Jian.
"Let me take a look." Princess Jian stretched out her hand.
Xu Qinghuan did not hesitate and handed over the fragrant powder directly. Princess Jian smelled it, picked out some of the fragrant powder and put it on the back of her hand to melt. Then she said firmly: "This is the fragrant powder given by the palace, even if it is the royal family.
My dear, I only get ten boxes every year, and this year it was even less. The prince also asked me for a few boxes to distribute to the female relatives in the clan. Those royal relatives who have no titles are also very pitiful... I don’t know whose aunt is
How could such a thing be used?"
Princess Jian said and closed the powder box. No matter what she thought, it shouldn't be Song Chengxuan. Song Chengxuan was not married, so the emperor could not reward him with these things.
Who is Miss Xu talking about?
Princess Jian looked at Xu Qinghuan. Miss Xu's eyes were clear and she couldn't see any clues. Miss Xu said, "It's not easy to talk about this kind of thing to someone you know."
Could it be.
"Is this the Prince of Shunyang County?" Princess Jian said, "The Prince of Shunyang County does not live in Beijing on weekdays."
Moreover, the Prince of Shunyang County had just moved around with the Xu family.
Who could that be?
Princess Jian looked up again.
"Princess," Xu Qinghuan said, "What kind of person do you think the prince is?"
Princess Jian's heartstrings were suddenly broken, her ears were buzzing constantly, and the powder box in her hand felt hot to the touch. A rush of blood rushed to her head, and her eyes widened.
The acquaintance Miss Xu mentioned was Prince Jian's Mansion.
That's why Miss Xu came early in the morning, took her to the village, and then said those strange words.
impossible.
Princess Jian looked at the village, wondering how could the prince be like this... It was already obvious that the prince had bought a village courtyard here to support his wife.
"Princess, that might not be a woman."
Xu Qinghuan's words came again, but Princess Jian turned a deaf ear and immediately stood up and got off the carriage.
"princess."
The servants of Prince Jian's Mansion immediately came up to greet her. They were also shocked when they saw Princess Jian's appearance: "Princess, where are you going?"
"Go in," Princess Jian stared at Zhuangzi, "Let me see who he has raised here."
The servants wanted to step forward to stop her, but Princess Jian obviously didn't care anymore. Her eyes were red and she stared at the manor in front of her, wanting to see clearly for herself.
Xu Qinghuan also got out of the car and looked at Zhenren Zhang: "Take good care of Princess Jian and don't make any mistakes."
Princess Jian seemed not to have thought of the deeper meaning. When King Jian bought Zhuangzi in this way, there must be many secrets that no one could know, which was inconsistent with the idle appearance of the clan before others.
However, Princess Jian seemed to only think that Prince Jian had raised a foreign wife. Could it be that Princess Jian really hadn't noticed anything strange in these years.
…
"Your Majesty."
Prince Jian had just finished tending the flowers and plants in the greenhouse and was about to change clothes.
"The princess followed Miss Xu out."
King Jian paused when he heard this: "Where have you gone?"
"It seems," the steward swallowed, "he went to Zhuangzi outside the city."
"Change your clothes and prepare your horses," King Jian ordered, "I'm going to take a look at Zhuangzi."
The steward was stunned: "By passing by, doesn't it mean that you are admitting that Zhuangzi is related to you?"
King Jian's eyes darkened slightly: "At this point, I'm afraid I have no choice."
