late night song

Chapter 274 Please enter the urn
On the second day of the Ning Mansion's [-]-day banquet, the news that Master Ji Huan of Princess Helan Mansion spent thousands of dollars to redeem the life of Jiang Huaiyue's courtesan became the latest hot news in Yunjing City.

After the night banquet at the Ning Mansion last night, Ling Buhuo personally sent Ji and Princess Helan off to their home. Princess Helan was so happy that she ignored her son's disappearance. Little did he know that Gu Yuchu secretly arranged for Ji Huan's carriage to go to Jiang Huaiyue's bathing beach.

Shi Shi, the long-time courtesan of Jiang Huaiyue, was bribed by Gu Yuchu in advance. She tried her best and was extremely gentle and considerate, so that Ji Huan, who had been under the high-pressure control of her mother for a long time, drunkenly and tearfully complained about her grievances and gave her all her heart. I also truly felt what it means to be drunk and dreamy, free and happy.

Maybe it was because things were turned against each other, or maybe he was drunk and indulgent. With a wave of his hand, he signed a note of ransom of 10 taels of gold. He even bit off his fingers and used the blood as mud to seal his fingerprints. At the same time, he gave himself the purple jade that he wears every day. Ring your fingers as a token to show your sincerity.

Although Ji Huan had a vague memory of what happened last night after he sobered up, when he found Shi Shi, the courtesan of Jiang Huaiyue, beside his pillow with sleepy eyes, he unconsciously fell into it.

The two of them were passionate about each other until the afternoon, when Ji Huan reluctantly returned home.

Princess Helan was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. When she saw her son come back intact, she finally let go of her uneasiness. But before she could question her son's whereabouts, the fun began.

Jiang Huaiyue's boss sent his confidants to beat gongs and drums through the market and boarded the door of Princess Helan, demanding that Master Ji Huan fulfill his promise last night.

The powerful Princess Helan was furious and ordered her servants to beat them out of the house with sticks.Jiang Huaiyue's minions were no strangers either. Being treated so rudely, they actually showed Ji Huan's signature and inscription at Princess Helan's Mansion. The people who were watching the commotion outside the door were shocked and said they were very satisfied.

Princess Helan's face was completely beaten. She asked Ji Huan if he was being forced, but the daughter-in-law refused to say anything.

"Money is a trivial matter, but my family status in Princess Helan's Mansion is not something that everyone can reach. Go back and tell that vulgar guy from Huajie Liushi to stop this idea, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences."

In order to save face, Princess Helan said harsh words in public, but Jiang Huaiyue's minions seemed to have expected this, so he calmly took out a tiger-faced purple jade ring from his arms and handed it to Ji respectfully. Constant.

"Miss Shi Shi said that the bright moon has been shining alone for thousands of years, so you don't have to worry about it. It's just a big dream that comes late in the spring. Everyone is safe, and it is enough to comfort you in this life."

It must be said that this woman perfectly grasped the pain of oppression and the desire to break free from the shackles in Ji Huan's heart. In just a few words, she brought out the long-buried inner pain in his heart.

A surge of rage rose up, swallowing up all Ji Huan's sanity. For the first time in his life, he called out to his mother:
"Shi Shi is my son's only confidant and true love in his life. If the mother cannot tolerate her, then don't blame her son for being unfilial."

"You traitor! What do you want?" Princess Helan's face turned pale with anger, her eyes were red, and her hands were trembling.

"My son will never marry her unless she is the one in my life!"

"Don't even think about it! Unless I die!"

"Mom, there is no need to seek life and death. I am not as young and ignorant as Ji He. Not everyone is rare to have such a high family and a prestigious official career. I am willing to live an ordinary life with Shi Shi and stay together forever."

After saying this, Ji Huan put down these words and took Jiang Huaiyue's Gu Ya together to leave Princess Helan's Mansion, leaving his mother stunned.

When Ling Buhuo got the news, he lamented Gu Yuchu's thunderous method of retaliating with tooth, but he couldn't help but be afraid that if there was an oversight in any link, it would be difficult to end it.

But since he had this good topic that could tear apart the frozen connection between the two of them, he naturally wouldn't let it go, so he took this opportunity and knocked on Gu Yuchu's door.

"What's going on?" Gu Yuchu hid in the house and had no intention of opening the door.

"Jiang Huaiyue." Ling Buhuo got straight to the point, fearing that she would refuse.

After a while, the door creaked, and the woman he dreamed of appeared in front of him with a cold face.

"Let's go."

"Where?"

"Study, don't you have something to say?"

"Why not here?"

"Night has come. A man and a woman alone. Don't cause any unexplainable things."

"This is my mansion, and you are my wife. What is the difference between the study and the wing?!" After saying that, Ling Buhuo came in uninvited and found a chair to sit down angrily.

Gu Yuchu did have something to discuss with him and was too lazy to be serious with him, so he immediately closed the door.

"Why don't you drive me away?"

"Let's get down to business." The woman remained indifferent.

"Ji Huan, what are you going to do next? Use him to threaten Helan and let Shu Yuan go?"

"Do you think she can?"

"will not."

"So I only moved Ji Huan to repay him with his own way. Shu Yuan's case still depends on the embroidered cloth messenger."

"You won't act so impulsively." Ling Buhuo adjusted his sitting posture slightly, put his hands on the table and crossed them.

"Do you think that woman Helan would let a brothel girl kidnap her son? I have ordered people to protect Shi Shi throughout the whole process. If he can capture the person alive, it may be a breakthrough in Shu Yuan's case."

"This is you." Ling Buhuo tilted his head and nodded.

Gu Yuchu rolled his eyes at the man and continued: "But there is not enough time. The embroidered cloth messenger has to speed up the search for new clues, and the finalization of the Yunjing Mansion will be delayed for a while. Can you do it?"

"Yes. Although Shu Yuan's jade pendant was found at the scene, as long as he doesn't let go and makes no confession, and there are still many doubts in the case that have not been clarified, the Yunjing Mansion cannot easily conclude the case. Even Shu Yuan will not be able to avoid the pain of his flesh and blood."

"Let him suffer and teach him a lesson. Who taught him to act so impulsively!"

Although Gu Yuchu felt distressed in her heart, she still spoke tough. She thought for a while and continued to give instructions to the most powerful man in Beiling besides Old Ling Wang: "Also, it's only seven or eight days since the case happened. Tomorrow you come forward to grant Qingyu permission." The building is open for business, and at the same time, people let out the news that important evidence that can reverse the case has been found in the wing of Qingyu Building, so as to lure the snake out of its hole."

"You don't need to explain these matters related to the case, I will handle it myself." Ling Buhuo left half of the words, knowing that she still had something to ask him for help.

Gu Yuchu glanced at him and then said what she couldn't handle alone and really needed Ling Buhuo's help:

"I promised Miss Shi Shi to help her change her nationality, recall her brothers who were exiled in the frontier, give her a sum of money, and let them return to their hometown in Ningyuan." "What did her father commit?"

"Concealing the disaster and failing to report the knowledge, I have been punished and my whole family has been exiled for ten years."

"It's not difficult."

"Thank you."

After what needed to be said, there was no new topic. Ling Buhuo stared at Gu Yuchu intently. For a while, the atmosphere between the two of them was a little subtle.

"It's getting late, please come back."

"I want to sit down for a while." Ling Buhuo refused. He specifically went to ask Ling Ziyu for advice on how to coax a woman into not calling her out and insisting on stalking her. Today's opportunity was really good, so he decided to give it a try.

"You can sit down wherever you want. I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you." Gu Yuchu didn't follow common sense, got up and walked out.

"Where are you going?" Ling Buhuo stopped her quickly.

"Opposite Jianghuaiyue is Qingyu Building. Qingyu Building will be open for business tomorrow. I will stay in Jianghuaiyue from tonight to see if there are any suspicious people or useful clues."

"As a woman, it's not appropriate for you to go to a romantic place, right?"

"I stayed in Lock Star Palace for more than a year, and I never heard you say anything inappropriate."

"I'll accompany you."

"It's no use."

"Jiang Huaiyue is an official kiln. You can't live in a well-located wing with money. You will need me."

Gu Yuchu thought about it and thought it made sense, but he didn't comment. He just urged him to go out and wait while he changed his clothes.

Ling Buhuo was calm and relaxed, feeling that half of his goal had been achieved, so he naturally followed her in everything.

When the two of them arrived at Jianghuaiyue in an ordinary carriage, Gu Yuchu felt that it was unnecessary to change into men's clothes.

Where the carriage stopped, a servant had been waiting for them and took them upstairs through a secret passage.

The woman glanced angrily at the man next to her who was pretending to be confused, and said nothing. After all, he had thought about what he wanted and silently arranged everything.

The wing room on the third floor where they lived was facing Shi Shi, and the window faced the door of Qingyu Building. The location was really perfect.

Today's Jianghuaiyue is still very lively, but there are actually a lot more regular customers who want to be entertained by Miss Shi Shi. It seems that Princess Helan also spent a lot of effort to let her son see the true face of the prostitute.

Of course, Miss Shi Shi was well prepared. She paid the boss five days' break money and declined all the benefactors one by one, which made Ji Huan determined to stay with her.

"I'm curious, how can you predict that Shi Shi can kill Ding Ji Huan?"

"How many of you men can refuse the love of a beautiful woman?" Gu Yuchu meant something.

In the past few days, such beatings and ridicules have become commonplace. Ling Buhuo endured it, paused for a while, and then said: "Even if he can't refuse, with his temperament, he will not break up with her mother."

"Ji Huan once had a maid he liked very much. She liked to wear blue clothes. Ji Heng specially changed her name to Lan'er. Later, the maid became pregnant. He originally wanted to support her as a concubine, but she was not married at that time. His mother resolutely refused, and Lan'er's belly gradually grew bigger. The woman was afraid that the matter would be exposed and cause criticism, so she took the opportunity to sell Lan'er and dispose of the child in her belly. When Ji Huan found out, he His mother was too domineering and did not dare to act out, but he resisted by refusing to discuss the marriage. Then he secretly sent people to search for her several times, and finally learned that Lan'er was so disheartened that she threw herself into the river and was very sad."

Gu Yuchu was in a good mood today and talked a lot to him.

"Then this girl Shi Shi is somewhat similar to Na Lan'er?"

"Although there are many similar people in this world, there are still differences after all. Besides, except for Ji Huan, I am afraid that few people in Yunjing can tell what Lan'er looks like. I just asked Miss Shi Shi to approach her specially dressed in blue and drunk. Ji Huan recognized her as Lan'er. In the final analysis, it was just a mistake. The more obedient he was to his mother on the surface, the more rebellious he was in his heart. Miss Shi Shi just ignited the fire in his heart."

No matter how similar people are, they will always have differences. This sentence awakened Ling Buhuo, and some intermittent scenes of Zhongyang Palace that night suddenly flashed through his mind.

He vaguely remembered that the woman he was entangled with was carrying the sapphire bracelet he gave to Gu Yuchu, and he began to doubt in his heart.

However, his memory is limited and he is not sure, and it involves his daughter's family's innocence and reputation, so he can only admit it first and then make plans.

Now that the matter has come to this, he no longer thinks deeply about it, and then asks: "I don't even know about such a secret thing, how do you know about it?"

"Yanfeng said that Yanyang let something slip once." Gu Yuchu replied over and over while peeking at Shi Shi's wing.

"This Yanyang." Ling Buhuo frowned slightly, too lazy to comment too much.

"It's about the same today, you should go back too." Gu Yuchu closed the doors and windows and issued an eviction order.

"I won't leave. This wing is very big. You can sleep on the bed while I sleep on it. I promise not to disturb you."

Some stayed shamelessly, some didn't want to make a big fuss, and Gu Yuchu didn't bother to care.She put on her clothes and lay down, stopped talking, and regarded the other person in the room as nothing.

Ling Buhuo succeeded, no longer trying to push the envelope, he also put on his clothes and leaned on the couch.

The room was quiet for a long time. Finally, the man started to find something to say: "That day you asked me to send Ji He home, I really had nothing to say. Fortunately, Ji He found a topic to talk about her favorite jewelry and clothes. She said that the sapphire bracelet you are wearing is very beautiful. Why haven’t I seen you wearing it these past few days? Have you lost it?”

But there was no response from Gu Yuchu. Ling Buhuo stood up and watched for a long time. He thought she was asleep and didn't dare to come close, so he could only lie down. But when he just lay down, a small thing appeared. It hit him straight in the face, and when he looked closely, he saw that it was the bracelet.

"Give it to her!" The woman's words were cold. After leaving these words, she turned her back and made no move.

Ling Buhuo smiled and picked up the bracelet. It was warm and warm. It was indeed worn close to his body and had just been taken off. He found a comfortable position, rested his head on one hand with one hand, looked at the bracelet carefully, and fell into deep thought.
