Chapter 160
It was windy at night.

Moon Shadow flickered.

In a trance, Xu Yan seemed to see a woman in white floating in front of her, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, very much like that stupid woman she hated so much.

"Go away!"

Xu Yan grabbed the inkstone on the table in embarrassment and smashed it out.

With a bang, the inkstone shattered.

But the white shadow didn't disappear, nor was it hit, but drifted closer and closer, so close that it stuck to Xu Yan's face.

A cold and empty touch.

The frightened Xu Yan screamed, rolled her eyes, and fell straight to the ground.Before she fell into a coma, she vaguely heard a threat:
"Stop thinking about my daughter, or I will kill you the next time I come."

Since then, Xu Yan became ill because of excessive panic, and did not appear in front of people for many days.

And Shen Qingling finally felt a little bit calmer.

No matter how reluctant she is, she still has to plan for her future after arriving in Bianjing.

Therefore, in the next few days, on the one hand, Shen Qingling investigated the restaurants and teahouses inside and outside Bianjing, thinking about how to develop Yangzhou's industry, and on the other hand, quietly endured inquiries from all directions .

Everyone was so interested in this little lady who went in and out of Yongguan alone to save people, especially after the emperor made her the princess.

If it wasn't for Shen Qingling not living in the Shen's house, the matchmakers would have flocked to her, stepping on the threshold of the Shen's house.

The two rumored very difficult elders in Xue Yu's family have never appeared, and it is estimated that Xue Yu has put in a lot of effort to help Shen Qingling withstand the pressure from the Xue family.

Since Shen Qingling was only a princess, even if she had intervened in the matter of Jinyun and Chuyongguan before, she was not qualified to know how the court would deal with it later.

Of course, it was obvious that she couldn't know, but secretly Xue Yu talked to her a lot.

The men of the Du family didn't last long in the prison, and they directly confessed all the ministers who had been with them in the court, and Li Youyu couldn't escape, and piles of criminal evidence were sent to the emperor's case.

With a breakthrough, ministers from all over the country successively sent memorials about Li Youyu's corruption and perversion into Bianjing.At the same time, Li Youyu was detained by Chen Lian who had returned to the north after rest, and was escorted to Beijing together with Beiliang Wang Gusu.

What awaited Li Youyu was the emperor's monstrous anger.

As for the ministers who colluded with Li Youyu, they were naturally trembling and tossing and turning, and finally, with the efforts of all the officials of the Ministry of Punishment, 36 people were found to be involved in the case of rebellion in Yongguan.

The blood at Caishikou in those few days was said to be dark red.

Wave after wave of beheaded people came.

Countless calculations, what Shen Qingling did not expect was that the defeat of the Northern Liang Palace and the execution of Li Youyu directly led to the early end of the war in the Northern Territory.

Li Yu is coming back.

The specific day when the class teacher will return to the court is set in Meng Dong's season, that is, one month later.Estimate the time required for the march. It should take a cool month for the army to actually reach Bianjing.

Time to slip.

Shen Qingling thought so.

She stayed in Bianjing for nearly two months. With the false title on her head, she insisted on opening two Huaian Pavilion branches, and spent huge sums of money to set up a dozen private post stations between Yangzhou and Bianjing. , for ordinary people to send and receive letters.

Shen Qingling did not hide these things from Xue Yu.

Although Xue Yu didn't quite understand why Shen Qingling was obsessed with the ways of merchants, but as long as it was what Shen Qingling liked, he would not have any objections, and even used his savings and monthly offerings for Shen Qingling's use.

That's right, now Xue Yu has received a reward, and has become Yuanwailang of the Ministry of Punishments.

The salary is not much, it is better than the mind.

In officialdom and shopping malls, the two are proud, but the relationship between them is still spinning around.

Firstly, Xue's family had a lot of problems and the parents hadn't convinced them yet, and secondly, Shen's family was not simple, Shen had asked Xue Yu to drink with him several times, but Shen Qingling refused them.

At this moment, Shen Qingling was sitting in the newly purchased courtyard, frowning and listening to Xue Yu talking about the things outside.

King Xiang returned to Bianjing from the fiefdom, King Zhan learned about Lin'er, where King Shou's army went, etc. The former can be found out by anyone, while the latter is a secret.

"I want to go back to Yangzhou." Shen Qingling put her head on her side, covered her eyes, and said: "Although Bianjing is good, my family property is in Yangzhou after all. I haven't been back for so long, and many things are piled up there , wait for me to cook."

How could Xue Yu fail to recognize that Shen Qingling was an excuse, so he frowned, and begged, "Qingling thinks I've delayed too long? Right now, my father has agreed, and I'm trying my best to convince my mother... just wait Wait for me... okay?"

He drooped his brows and eyes, and his wet eyes were full of love.

"It's not because of this." Shen Qing Lingquan pretended not to see, and complained on the table: "I just want to go back to Yangzhou, can't I? Ping Niang sent a letter a few days ago saying that everything is fine in Yangzhou, and the hospital is also closed." There are credits, I want to go back and have a look.”

No matter what, she just couldn't see Li Yu.

Can't and don't want to.

"You really want to go back that much?" Xue Yu asked tentatively.

Shen Qingling blinked her eyes, nodded heavily, and said: "It's not that I won't come, and even if I don't come, you can still go to Yangzhou to find me? Bianjing is too big, you may meet powerful people wherever you go, I Really uncomfortable stay."

"Then what about the Shen family?" Xue Yu asked again.

Shen Xiangye has heard recently that he is having a hard time. His wife and younger brother are corrupt, and his subordinates are incompetent, which caused the emperor to reprimand him several times.

Even though Xue Yu knew that Shen Qingling really didn't like the Shen family, Shen Qingling still had to put on a show on the surface, so as not to be criticized by others and make the emperor feel disgusted.

"I haven't entered the Shen family's door for so long, Your Majesty didn't say anything." Shen Qingling replied indifferently: "Now I should go back to Yangzhou, Your Majesty can at most ask me one question. After all, I am just a woman, not a virtuous person." Your majesty, my presence or absence is not worth mentioning to His Majesty."

This is the truth after seeing through the emperor accurately.

In the end, Xue Yu had no choice but to agree to Shen Qingling's plan, but Shen Qingling didn't just leave as soon as he said it. The restaurant in Bianjing had just started, and Shen Qingling was busy inside and out. The shopkeeper can only leave after taking over the restaurant business.

Before Shen Qingling was ready, she met someone first.

Looking at the luxuriously dressed Wu Niang at the entrance of the restaurant, Shen Qingling was stunned for a long time before going up to greet her and greet her.

Wu Niang was also very happy, and she pulled Shen Qingling to chat on the street intimately, until the left and right maids reminded her, she turned around and took Shen Qingling up to the private room on the second floor of the restaurant.

It turned out that Wu Niang's husband was Peng Fenglang, who was also the prime minister.
