I see You Lian is the ally

Chapter 67

Hua Jiao didn't hide anything, and raised his eyebrows disapprovingly: "I didn't receive it."

Kong Yu sighed, with a look of regret on his face, and said regretfully: "The biggest event in Lan'an City every year is the Peony Flower Banquet. It's a pity that we can't go."

There was a hint of complacency in the sympathetic tone.Obviously, in the eyes of the noble ladies of Lan'an City, it is a great honor to receive invitations to the Peony Banquet.

Zheng Min said with a smile: "If my younger sister recognizes her grandmother and becomes the granddaughter of the Zheng family with peace of mind, she might be able to get an invitation from the Princess Mansion."

Hua Jiao glanced at her, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "I don't really care about invitations or anything." She picked out a flower tin at random, and went to pay the bill with her snow sleeves.

Zheng Min followed her like a shadow: "Sister, did you regret it? If not, I'll go back and tell my grandmother to let her recognize you."

Hua Jiao didn't answer, but paid the taels of silver, and Xue Xiu stepped forward, holding up the wooden box for hairpins and rings handed over by the waiter.Huajiao didn't even look at Zheng Min, so he went to the layman.

Zheng Min gritted his teeth angrily, and stepped forward to stop Xue Xiu.Xuexiu was blocked by her unexpectedly, and the wooden box in her hand fell to the ground. There was a sound of "哐", which startled the guests who were choosing jewelry, and everyone's eyes turned to this side.

Hua Jiao sighed, when will Zheng Min's stubborn temper change?She didn't want to argue with Zheng Min at first, Jixiang Pavilion is not like a mansion after all, there are too many people, if the news of the quarrel between the two gets out, it will be bad for her and Zheng Min.

She glanced at Zheng Min, and said lightly: "I haven't regretted it, and I won't regret it in the future, and I won't slap myself in the face for an invitation. Unless grandma regrets it, otherwise, I won't go back to Xifu of."

After Hua Jiao finished speaking, he left with Xue Xiu.

Zheng Min froze on the spot, watching Huajiao leave the store, and turned his face stiffly just now.Kong Yu stepped forward, took Zheng Min's arm, and said in a low voice, "Zheng Zhongshu Ling and his wife are gone. Your cousin is lonely, but I didn't expect her temper to be quite stubborn. I heard that she lives in the mountains all year round. Come on, Lan'an City is not so easy to mess with. She is an orphan girl, and she has no adults to back her up. She doesn't know how to let others bully her in the future. Don't say anything else, I'm afraid she won't be able to get married. Just wait and see the good show .”

Zheng Min was taken aback, and shouted loudly: "Kong Yu, what are you talking about?"

Kong Yu's expression froze, and he said embarrassingly, "I'm just speaking for you, what's wrong?"

Zheng Min frowned, and shook Kong Yu's arm away: "No need." After speaking, he turned and went straight to pick out the hairpin.

Kong Yu muttered in a low voice: "In the past, I hated people so much, why are you pretending to be a good person now?"

Sunlight shines through the leaky windows, casting mottled shadows in the room.

A guard reported from outside the floor covering: "Yu Dujian, Yinniang's father Yang Da and mother Wang have been brought here."

Yu Taiqing put down the ink pen in her hand, and said in a low voice, "Tell me."

As soon as Mrs. Wang entered the house, she knelt down on the ground, crying heartbrokenly: "Yin'er, you are just gone, how will my mother live in the future..."

Yang Da walked up to Yu Taiqing with a sad expression on his knees, and kowtowed: "Captain Yu, the little girl died a terrible death, you must catch the murderer and avenge her."

"Don't worry, I will never let the murderer go. Let me ask you, who did Yin Niang have any grudges with?"

Yang Da shook his head: "The little girl is kind-hearted, and she has been obsessed with playing chess since she was a child. She rarely cares about other things. I have never heard of anyone who has made enemies with her."

Yu Taiqing asked again: "Has she ever been married?"

Yang Da shook his head again: "To tell you the truth, my little girl is already in her twenties. Because she is addicted to playing chess, she insists on marrying someone who can beat her on the chessboard. Therefore, she has never been married so far, and the bitch is ruining her marriage." mind."

"Recently, what's unusual about Yinniang?"

Yang Da shook his head.

Mrs. Wang hesitated and said: "My Yin'er has been watching the endgame every night and sat withered for most of the night. Is this abnormal? She didn't do this in the past."

Yu Taiqing focused her eyes and asked, "Endgame? Did she say anything?"

Mrs. Wang wiped her tears, thought for a while and said: "Once I urged her to rest, she happily told me that she would not let me worry about her marriage anymore, she found her husband by herself, someone won her .”

"That is to say, Yinniang has a girlfriend? What is his name? Have you ever met that person?" Yu Taiqing asked.

When Yang Da heard this, he pointed at Mrs. Wang with a startled face: "Why did you never mention such a big matter to me?"

"I don't know if it's true or not, but I won't tell her if I ask her again, and I have never seen that person before." Wang said weeping.

Yu Taiqing frowned: "Think about it again, Yinniang has also mentioned about that person."

Mrs. Wang shook her head and said suddenly: "By the way, Yinniang wore a pair of new earrings a few days ago, and she said it was given by that person."

"earring?"

Thinking of Yinniang's empty earlobe, Yu Taiqing frowned: "Where is the earring now?"

Wang said: "Yinniang always wears it on her ear."

"What kind of earrings can you draw?"

Mrs. Wang walked to the case, picked up a vermilion brush, and drew a few crooked strokes, barely able to see the shape of the earrings.

Yu Taiqing frowned, seeing that she couldn't ask any more questions for a while, she ordered the guards to send Yang and his wife back.

He closed the file and was about to go out when the Shu Wei came in and reported that the housekeeper of the Princess Mansion wanted to see him.

Mrs. Yu ordered someone to pass it on, and after a while, Housekeeper Chen from the Princess Mansion walked in.

He was about forty years old, and looked very capable. When he saw Yu Taiqing, he saluted respectfully: "I have met Yu Dujian."

Mrs. Yu nodded, and asked in a low voice: "What wind brought Steward Chen here? But what advice does Her Royal Highness have?"

Chen Butler took out an invitation card with a smile and handed it to Mrs. Yu.

"It's like this. Her Royal Highness likes flowers and trees. In the past two years, the peonies she ordered to be tended have produced new varieties. As for what kind of peony, please let the old slave be a fool. You will know when you go. Your Highness will On April 28, I invite everyone to enjoy the peonies in the garden, and I hope that the Governor of Yudu will attend the meeting on time."

Yu Taiqing raised his eyebrows, he was not interested in the Peony Banquet.

Chen Butler saw his thoughts and said with a smile: "Anyone else can refuse to go, but Yu Dujian has to."

Yu Taiqing was slightly taken aback.

Chen Butler said with emotion: "Does Yu Dujian not know that the original founder of this Peony Flower Banquet is not our princess, but the little prince, your mother, Princess Wenning. Ever since Princess Wenning went with her relatives, After leaving Nanzhao, I never went to the garden to see the peonies she planted herself, now that you are here, you have to go anyway.”

Yu Taiqing was silent for a moment, and said: "Please tell Steward Chen to report to Her Royal Highness, I will definitely go."

"Very good, very good." Steward Chen saluted again, and said, "The old slave will take his leave now."
