Chapter 89
Jing Se didn't take Qing'er directly to the teahouse where Fan Chen and the others were staying, but turned a corner into a clothing store.

Qing'er is smart, without asking, she knows that there are people following her, and the eldest lady is going to change her clothes to get rid of those people.

They are making such a fuss today, so it's no fault of anyone.

Qing'er didn't ask, Jing Se simply didn't say anything, the master and servant quickly entered the clothing store with a tacit understanding, and the embroiderer inside immediately greeted her with a smile, and asked: "You two girls want to buy clothes?"

Jing Se nodded, took out an ingot of silver from the purse and handed it to the embroiderer, and said in a deep voice: "Quickly prepare two inconspicuous clothes for us, the simpler the better, and you don't need to look for the rest of the silver."

Xiu Niang took the money and smiled even warmer, "You two wait a moment, I'll go get it right away."

Jing Se looked sideways at the door, frowned slightly, and asked Xiu Niang, "Is there a hiding place here?"

Xiu Niang was slightly stunned, but before she could react, Jing Se had already pulled Qing'er into the pile of silk cloth.

The people following Jing Se outside were none other than the quack killers hired by Wanyi Pawnshop after following Chongying's orders. Although they were wearing plain clothes, it was not difficult to tell from their neat and consistent movements that they were a group of well-trained people.

The leader, Scarface, was about to step into the ready-to-wear shop, when he stretched out a hand to block the door frame, that hand was slender and fair, holding a twelve-section jade fractured fan, on which a triangular prism-shaped bronze object hung.

Scarface looked sideways, and saw the person leaning on the wooden wall with extremely lazy movements, looking at the group of them with raised eyebrows, seeing that he was dressed luxuriously and had an outstanding temperament, Scarface knew that this person was either rich or noble, Now that he has a task in his hands, it is not appropriate to cause side effects, so he cupped his fists and looked at the person blocking the door, "Why is this young master blocking the way?"

The person blocking the door was none other than Fan Yue, who had followed Jing Se secretly all the way. He smiled slightly, and pointed inside with his fan, "Master's sister-in-law buys clothes inside, and this place is reserved for you. If you want to go in, please pay for the road.”

The man with the eight-character eyebrows behind the scarred face suddenly snorted coldly, "It's so ridiculous, you don't even ask, where do the people from my Zhetianhui want to go, who dares to take money?"

Fan Yue withdrew his hand, knocked the fan on the palm of his hand, and smiled brightly, "The small sect of the rivers and lakes dare to be hostile to Wangyougu. If you are careful, Zongzhengchu will let you Shrouding the sky will become the Ascension Conference."

The eight-character eyebrow wanted to say something, but Scarface stretched out his hand to stop him to signal him to shut up, and then saluted Fan Yue, "Sorry for disturbing you, sir, we will retreat now."

After all, Scarface quickly left the shop with a group of brothers behind him.

The eight-character eyebrows were full of reconciliation, and asked Scarface, "Brother, with so many of us, are we still afraid of him?"

Scar's face darkened slightly, "Didn't you hear him tell Wangyou Valley?"

The eight-character eyebrows are still not convinced, "So what, who can prove that he is from Wangyougu?"

Scarface took a deep breath, and said: "His fan pendant has the token of Zongzheng Guzhu. You are new here, maybe you don't know, 20 years ago, a big event happened in Jianghu. Since then, Wangyou Gu never asked about the Jianghu and the imperial court. Since then, there has been an unwritten rule established among the various factions in the Jianghu, that is, if you see the token of Wangyougu, you should not violate the person who holds the token. The slightest bit. Obviously, that young master is implying that our target has been secured by Wangyougu, and we can’t touch her no matter what. Thinking about it, today’s deal with Wanyi’s pawnshop shopkeeper may not be possible.”

The brothers became interested one after another and asked Scarface, "What kind of big event can make Wangyougu completely withdraw from the arena and not care about world affairs?"

The scarred face raised his eyes, and his faint eyes were fixed on the cornices of the bucket arches in the direction of the imperial city, and he smiled bitterly, "That is a very long, long, long story, so long that it has been buried in dust and forgotten by the world, maybe... it has to be learned from the king of Chu. Let's start talking about death."

With the departure of the brothers from the Zhetianhui, all the words that followed were swept into the cold wind, and no one heard them anymore.

*
Jing Se heard all the conversation between Fan Yue and those people from the Zhetian Society. After those people left, she brought Qing'er out again.

Fan Yue was still standing by the door, seeing her walk out like this, he raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Don't you want to buy clothes?"

Jing Se said, "I'm in good shape."

Fan Yue asked again: "Aren't you afraid of being hunted down now?"

Jing Se answered it as a matter of course, "With you, the second master of Chu Palace, what can they do to me?"

"That's not certain." Fan Yue opened the folding fan and slapped it a few times, "After all, you are not mine, why should I protect you?"

Jing Se squinted at him, "Who do you still think I am yours? Fan Yue, do you want to mess with Lun?"

"Sister-in-law, can you leave some room for others?" Fan Yue rolled his eyelids, "I just want you to marry and become my sister-in-law sooner. Why are you so poisonous?"

Jing Se rubbed his shoulders and walked out, "I have a poisonous mouth, and that's also specially used to deal with you two brothers!"

"Alright, alright, I can't beat you, is it alright?" Fan Yue quickly followed and asked her intentionally, "Do you know who you offended today?"

"Who else could it be?" Jing Se sneered, "It's nothing more than the owner behind Wanyi's pawn shop, but I really didn't expect that he hired a quack killer to kill me."

Fan Yue gritted his teeth bitterly, "I told you a long time ago not to take risks alone, but you didn't listen. It is true that Wanyi Pawn Shop has become famous for less than two years, but because of the identity of the owner behind it, the water here is very deep. , if you don’t pay attention, you can trap yourself deep in the dragon’s pool and tiger’s lair, be careful not to lose your life!”

Jing Se pursed her lips and remained silent. To deal with a cautious person like Gu Qian, one must take risks in order to force him to show his weaknesses and win by surprise.

Jing Se knew very well that as long as she showed up today, Chongying would not let her go easily no matter whether she won the verbal battle with the shopkeeper of Wanyi Pawnshop or not.It is precisely because of this that she tried her best to prevent Chongying from laundering money.

Both left and right want to offend Gu Gan, so it's better to try your best to drag him into the water!
"Sister-in-law, look at the road, we're here." Fan Yue noticed that Jing Se was in a trance, and couldn't help reminding: "We've had enough sitting in the teahouse, so we're going back to the mansion. Do you want to go to Chu Wang's mansion or directly to You Xiang's mansion?"

Jing Se pulled back her thoughts and let out a sigh of relief, "I'm a little tired today, so I won't go to Prince Chu's mansion, I'll go back to You Xiang's mansion directly, you don't have to wait for me, Qing'er and I will go to the carriage and horse shop to rent a carriage and sit down Just go back."

"Where is this possible?" Fan Yue disapproved all over his face, "You are a weak woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken, and you were almost caught by those killers from the Shouting Society, if I let you go back alone like this, When the boss wakes up later, he must kill me."

"Is it so serious?" Jing Se couldn't laugh or cry, "Why do I think the first person he wants to kill when he wakes up is me?"

"Sister-in-law, don't be joking." Fan Yue shrugged with a speechless expression, "I know the boss best, and he will definitely not kill you after he wakes up. It's just a wonderful feeling of falling up and down."

Jing se suddenly felt a little cold on her back.

It's rare to see a calm and calm person like Jing Se showing a panicked expression. Although it was only for a short moment, it was quite rewarding for Fan Yue. He smiled with satisfaction, and then tapped Jing Se's face with his fan. shoulder, asked: "Sister-in-law, you really don't want to go back to Chu Palace with us?"

"Don't go!" Jing Se's eyes were firm, "I'll just go back by myself, stop nagging, just say one more word, be careful and I'll poke your dumb acupoint with a silver needle, so that you can't speak anymore."

Fan Yue shrank his neck angrily.

At this time, Jiang Li, who had been waiting by the carriage, came over and asked, "Second Master, why haven't you come over so late?"

Fan Yue pointed in the direction of Jing Se with his chin, "Here, my sister-in-law won't go back to the palace with us, am I worried about her personal safety?"

Jiang Li thought for a while, and said to Fan Yue: "Second Master, why don't I send Miss Jing back in person, how about it?"

"This is a good idea." After Fan Yue finished speaking, he took off the three-edged bronze token on the fan pendant and put it in his palm to examine it carefully, "I didn't believe it when you gave it to me just now, but I didn't expect such a small thing to People who can scare away the Shrouding Society."

Putting his hand on Jiangli's shoulder, Fan Yue said familiarly: "What is the origin of this thing, and why can it have such a big influence?"

Jiang Li shook his head, and said truthfully: "I don't know either. When the master gave it to me, he only said that I must wear it on my body all the time. If this is the case, no matter which gangsters I meet, they will not dare to do anything to me."

Fan Yue squinted his eyes, stared at the triangular bronze keepsake in the palm of his hand for a while, and said in a negotiating tone: "I think this thing is quite suitable for my sister-in-law, how about giving it to her?"

Jiang Li's face changed slightly, "It's absolutely impossible!"

Fan Yue pushed him away, "You mustn't, you are a big man with strong martial arts, even if you don't have this thing, there are few people in the world who dare to offend you, left and right are useless to you, so you sell my favor , how about giving it to my sister-in-law?"

"This..." Jiang Li was still hesitating.

"What the hell!" Fan Yue gave him a sharp look, and without waiting for Jiang Li's reaction, he directly handed the token to Jing Se, and said mysteriously: "Sister-in-law, this thing is more useful than the amulet, just put it away, and it will be ready when you go out." Few people dare to offend you."

Pulling Li's eyebrows into a ball, he said in a helpless tone, "Second Master..."

Fan Yue stared at him impatiently, "I've already given away the favor, this time it's useless even if you call the second ancestor." After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows at Jiang Li again, "Could it be that you are so stingy that you actually Can't bear to part with a piece of broken copper and rotten iron?"

Jiang Li didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Then where is the broken metal?"

"For a person with strong martial arts like you, isn't it just a waste of copper and iron?" Fan Yue said, "Don't worry about it, it is most suitable for my sister-in-law to wear on her body. If you are really worried, I think this is good. From now on, you will follow my sister-in-law to Youxiang Mansion to be her secret guard, protecting her at all times. This is the end, the token on the left and right is on my sister-in-law. You can protect her Is it also equivalent to directly protecting the token?"

Jiangli pondered for a moment, "It seems that there is only this way."

"So, did you agree to follow my sister-in-law to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion?" Fan Yue asked.

"En." Jiangli said: "Before leaving the valley, the master asked me to come and see which girl could heal the Brahma son. I didn't expect it to be Miss Jing, the old acquaintance. She was in Wangyou years ago. Mr. Gu, although he is not a disciple of Wangyougu, but he can learn such superb medical skills by himself. It is really a rare talent. Wangyougu likes to recruit talented people the most. She had any accidents."

Fan Yue's head got dizzy when he heard that, he quickly pinched the center of his brows, and urged: "It's alright, alright, isn't it just a simple sentence like 'You are going to the right minister's mansion to protect my sister-in-law'?" I can't stand you like a bitch."

Jiang Li had known Fan Yue's temper for a long time, so he didn't bother with him at this time, bid farewell to him, and followed Jing Se and Qing'er to the car dealership.

On the way, Jingse took out the bronze token and handed it to Jiangli, with a smile on her face, "Brother Jiangli, you should take this thing back, I'm just a boudoir, I don't need it."

Jiang Li's face was a little embarrassed, he didn't reach out to take it, but staggered two steps to avoid the bronze token handed over by Jing Se, and said: "Miss Jing, don't take what I said earlier, after all, it is Master If I give away the things that were given to me at will, I will always violate the teacher's order, and it will be difficult to explain it when I go back, but now it's all right, I will follow you to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and I will protect you as well as the token. Things are actually the same in both of you and me.”

After hearing this, Jing Se smiled, and still stuffed the token into the palm of Jianghu's hand, and said: "Jianghu people have their own rules, I knew these when I was in Wangyougu, so I can understand your embarrassment , you still take this thing back, I can’t take it. First, it’s a token from the owner of the valley, so you have no reason to give it to an outsider. Second, I’m just a boudoir, and I don’t usually go out unless there are special circumstances. It can't provoke the outsiders. Therefore, it is completely useless to me."

Jiang Li opened his mouth and was about to speak.

"If you are polite, don't say any more." Jing Se cut him off first, "I will explain clearly to him on the side of Vatican Second Lord. During this period of time, I will trouble Brother Jiangli to protect me."

"No trouble." Jiang Li saw that Jing Se refused to accept it, so he had no choice but to put away the bronze token, "Although Miss Jing is not a disciple of Wangyougu, I have always treated you as a junior sister. It is my honor to have the opportunity to protect you."

*
Back at the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, Jiang Li hid in a dark place like a shadow guard.

Jingse went to the Millennium Hall.

Today's trip to the imperial palace surprised Mrs. Jing a lot. She was a little tired and was sitting on the warm kang with her head propped up for a nap. Waiting in the main room for Mrs. Jing's unexpected needs.

Hearing Jing Se's voice coming in, Mrs. Jing slowly opened her eyelids, looking at Jing Se with complicated eyes.

Jing Se knew very well in her heart that it must be the dispute between herself and Princess Danyang in the palace during the day that made the old lady feel that she had lost the face of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, and felt a little unhappy.

"Old lady." Jing Se bowed her knees and saluted.

Mrs. Jing gave a faint "hmm" from her nasal cavity, and asked, "You're back?"

"I'm back." Jing Se didn't say much tactfully, Madam Jing asked a question, and she answered it.

"Have you eaten yet?" Mrs. Jing asked again.

Jing Se shook her head, "Not yet, as soon as I got back, I came to the Millennium Hall."

Mrs. Jing took a deep look at her, "You go to Chu Palace to see Brahma, didn't the Palace keep you for dinner?"

Jing Se knew that Mrs. Jing was suspicious, she hurriedly said: "After all, Arthur has not married yet, so it is not in accordance with the etiquette to eat in the palace like this."

Mrs. Jing sat up straight, and Mammy Xie hurriedly served tea.

Mrs. Jing took the teacup, and rubbed the bowl over the edge of the blue and white porcelain cup carefully. After a long time, she said: "I don't want to ask you the reason for today's palace incident. I have always valued you as a generous and steady person. With the way of dealing with the world, you can save the day in a dangerous situation like today. It can be seen that you are a bit more powerful than I imagined. I wanted to take you into the palace to secretly choose a suitable concubine for the third highness. Cheng Xiang's plum appreciation feast broke up badly. I see that His Highness the Third Highness is not interested in romance, and I think the matter of choosing a concubine will not be brought up again in a short time."

Jing Se said quietly: "Old Madam, after all, things like feelings cannot be forced. If the Third Highness doesn't like it and forces a girl to marry him at will, the relationship between the two will only become more and more rigid. I'm afraid it will backfire and make you feel even worse. The elders are worried."

Madam Jing nodded, "That's right, let's leave it at that, I'm old, I can't afford to worry so much."

When Jing Se was about to leave, the old lady suddenly called her and pushed Nanny Xie away.

Jing Se realized that something was wrong, she didn't ask any more questions, and walked a few steps forward to get close to Mrs. Jing.

Mrs. Jing took her hand and opened her palm to look carefully for a moment, then she let out a long sigh, "Arthur, I heard that the queen mother ordered you to go to Chu Palace every day from now on to see the prince Brahma. Is it the diagnosis?"

Jing Se nodded, "It is indeed the Queen Mother's order."

Mrs. Jing's eyes showed deep worry, "Although I don't know why the queen mother made such a sudden order, you are the person I am more worried about!"

Jing Se was taken aback, "What does the old lady say?"

Mrs. Jing then sighed again, "The fact that you had a child is an obstacle after all. Chu Palace has not come to propose marriage for a long time, and now you are asked to go to the mansion to see the doctor of Brahma. I am worried that they are in To test you, if this matter is exposed, it will be a big deal."

Jing Se lowered her eyelashes. If she could, she would like to let everyone in Jinling know about this, and force Chu Palace to take the initiative to withdraw the engagement.

However, what puzzled her was that Fan Yue knew that she had a child from the beginning to the end, but he took Haohao directly to Chu Palace as if nothing happened, and forced her to marry earlier .

What kind of mind Fan Yue was playing, this time, she really couldn't figure it out.

"Don't worry, old lady, Arthur will find a way to solve this matter satisfactorily sooner or later." After a long silence, Jing Se finally spoke out.

Mrs. Jing couldn't believe it, "Satisfactory solution?"

"Well." Jing Se nodded, "As for what method to use, I haven't decided yet, but please trust me, old lady, I will definitely not drag down the reputation of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion."

Mrs. Jing nodded in satisfaction, and the brows that had been gloomy all afternoon finally relaxed, "I knew you were the most knowledgeable person in this manor."

*
After Jing Se came out of the Millennium Hall, she went straight back to Mu Yunju.

Yingluo and Zhihua had already prepared meals, and when they saw her come in, both of them were overjoyed.

"Miss, did the trip to the palace go well today?" Zhi Hua asked with a smile.

Yingluo glanced at Zhihua angrily, and snorted slightly, "You don't have to ask, who is our cousin, if she goes out in person, there is nothing that cannot be done."

Jing Se glanced at the two little girls speechlessly, "You two are getting better and better at flattering people."

Without hearing the little maids mention Danyang Princess, Jing Se knew that Mo Mei Qingqi, the eldest maid next to the old lady, hadn't revealed anything.

Thinking about it, although Mrs. Jing usually looks friendly, she is extremely strict with the maids around her. "Talking" is an unforgivable crime for Mrs. Jing.

Jing Se simply didn't want to go over those bad things with the maids again, so she stopped making a sound and started to eat with her head buried.

In winter, the days are short and the nights are long. Before You time, the sky is almost dark.

After Zhihua tidied up the bowls and chopsticks quickly, she came back and sat by the brazier to chat and laugh with Jing Se. The two of them came from the Duke of Jin's mansion, so Jing Se was very kind to them. Li, sitting together, talking, joking and having fun is a common occurrence.

The two little maids tactfully didn't mention anything about the palace, but talked about the interesting things about their hometown when they were young, which made Jing Se laugh and bend over.

It's three o'clock in the unitary hour, and the night is dark.

There was a knock on the west corner door of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Uncle Zhang, the concierge, opened the door and saw that the other party was actually Qian Bo, the coachman of Duke Jin's residence.

Uncle Zhang was taken aback for a moment, "This old man, who are you looking for?"

Uncle Qian looked anxious and flustered, and it took him a long time to finish his sentence, "Brother, please help me to invite Miss Jing."

Uncle Zhang looked at the sky, wondering: "Although it's early, it's already dark, the young miss went to the palace banquet again during the day, so she should have already rested."

Uncle Qian became more and more anxious, and his voice began to tremble, "No, something serious happened to Duke Jin's mansion, I really can't do it, so I can only come over without telling the truth to Miss Jing and ask Miss Jing to help."

Uncle Zhang saw that his expression didn't seem to be fake, so he hurriedly said: "Then you wait here, brother, I'll go invite the eldest lady right away."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Zhang quickly ran to Muyunju.

At that time, Jing Se had finished bathing and was about to take a rest when Uncle Zhang who came to report was stopped by Jiang Li outside the courtyard gate.

Uncle Zhang opened his mouth in astonishment, and looked at Jiang Li in disbelief. How could he not know when there was such a guard with strong martial arts in the Missy's yard?
Without waiting for Uncle Zhang to open his mouth, he left and said, "It's late at night, what do you need to ask Missy?"

Only then did Uncle Zhang come to his senses, "It's the Duke of Jin's mansion who came and said he wants to see the eldest lady."

Jiang Li frowned, "Now?"

"Yes." Uncle Zhang nodded, "That man is Miss Su San's driver. I met him a few times earlier. It seems that there must be something urgent."

Suspicion flickered across Jiang Li's eyes, "It's so late, so what if we meet the eldest lady?"

Uncle Zhang rubbed his hands and stomped his feet anxiously, "Little brother, you don't have to ask any more questions, go in and report quickly, it will be a disaster if you miss a big deal."

Jiang Li still hesitated. After all, Jing Se was almost assassinated by the members of the Zhetian Society at noon. He failed in the daytime. Who would have guessed whether he would use tricks to lure Jing Se out and kill him at night.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li pursed his lips tightly.

A large part of the reason why he took the initiative to ask Ying to protect Jing Se was because of Master's entrustment, and another part of the reason was because he felt that Jing Se was similar to Senior Sister Xia Mu in some ways.

Today in front of the Wanyi pawn shop, she was calm and calm when she was outwitting the shopkeeper, which is absolutely impossible to pretend.

For all the disciples of Wangyou Valley, Xia Mu's death was like a dull thunderbolt, and it was just a nightmare to paralyze him countless times. Senior sister Xia Mu will come back again, but the master is buried behind him. Shan's tomb reminded him over and over again of the indisputable fact that Xia Mu was dead.

When I came to Jinling this time, Jiang Li never expected to see Jing Se again, let alone Jing Se today is very different from back then, it was like a different person, with a bit of senior sister Xia Mu's character in her words and deeds.

Today, when he saw Jing Se fighting wits and courage in front of Wanyi's pawn shop, Jiang Li became selfish, and he wanted to bring Jing Se back to Wangyou Valley.

Therefore, protecting Jingse's safety now is about to leave the important position.

Thinking of this, Jiang Li raised his head, and said to Uncle Zhang, "Just wait, I'll report right now."

Uncle Zhang breathed a sigh of relief and waited outside the courtyard gate.

After Jiangli went in, he only walked around the garden before returning, and said to Uncle Zhang: "Miss said, she has already rested, if there is anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow."

Uncle Zhang showed doubts, "Miss really don't plan to meet Miss Su's driver?"

Jiang Li nodded, "Xu is too tired today, she is not in good spirits."

Having said this, Uncle Zhang has nothing to doubt, he went back the same way and told Qian Bo every word Jiang Li said.

After hearing this, Uncle Qian was so anxious that he was on the verge of tears, but he couldn't see Jing Se, so he had no choice but to drive back home in a carriage.

Jing Se, who was talking and laughing with Yingluo Zhihua in the room, suddenly felt uneasy, her heart was beating violently, and she glanced out from time to time.

Yingluo noticed it and asked, "Miss Biao, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing." Jing Se shook her head, "I just felt a little uneasy all of a sudden, as if something was going to happen."

"This..." Yingluo frowned slightly, and said with some uncertainty, "Impossible? Is it because Miss Biao is too tired after going to the palace today?"

No!

Jing Se is sure that it is not the anxiety caused by fatigue, but the sudden uneasiness, which should be a bad omen.

She suddenly stood up and went to the yard to call Jiang Li out.

Jiang Li's handsome face was indistinguishable from the darkness of night.

Jing Se asked him, "What happened tonight?"

Jiang Li said: "No, miss, just rest at ease, even if there is a situation, I will inform you as soon as possible."

"Really?" Jing Se murmured, looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, but still couldn't dispel the uneasiness in her heart.

Jiang Li looked at her, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Jing Se said truthfully: "I'm a little uneasy, and I always feel like something is going to happen."

Jiang Li said: "Perhaps it's because the eldest lady was stalked during the day and had fear, but now she's relaxed and has fear."

"I hope so." Jing Se withdrew her gaze, "Then I'm going back to my room, it's getting late, and you should rest earlier."

"En." Jiang Li responded lightly, watching her into the room.

*
That night, two major events happened in Jinling City.

The first one: The Wanyi Pawnshop, which was only established in the past two years, was raided and inspected by Jinyiwei, and a lot of gold and silver were found in the cellar. The real ledger is missing.

As a result, Wanyi's pawn shop was closed down, and all the people in the shop were arrested and sent to imperial prisons to be tortured.

The second piece: Princess Qinghe's head, Qin Yao, died tragically in the grassland and woods in the suburbs of Beijing. Princess Qinghe carried Qin Yao's body and went into the palace crying all night to ask Emperor Taihe to make the decision. Although Emperor Taihe was dissatisfied with Princess Qinghe's bold behavior of entering the palace with the corpse , but in the end he didn't say much, and immediately asked people to investigate, and finally found out that it was Su Ruoyu, the third lady of the Duke of Jin's mansion.

Therefore, Miss Su San was taken away by people from the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion that night. Princess Qinghe was dissatisfied with the speed of Jingzhao Mansion's handling of affairs, and demanded that the culprit, Miss Su San, be handed over to Jin Yiwei for interrogation. Emperor Taihe complied in desperation. So, overnight, Third Miss Su was transferred from the prison of Jingzhao Mansion to Jinyiwei's imperial prison.

These two incidents caused people to panic, the people shut their doors tightly and dared not go out, and the crowds in the street market the next day were sparse.

It was already noon the next day when Jing Se learned about it.

When Yingluo went to the pawnshop to fetch the medicine for Jing Qingluan, she heard the wind, she turned pale with fright, and stopped taking the medicine, and ran all the way back to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion to tell Jing Se exactly what she heard.

"What!" Jingse's expression changed drastically, and she looked at Yingluo incredulously, "Is this news true?"

Yingluo has already started to cry, "Miss Biao, I see that people spread the rumors, so it must not be a lie, what should we do now!"

"Don't panic!" Jing Se comforted Yingluo while thinking of a way.

Standing up, she said: "You wait in the courtyard first, I will go to see the old lady."

Yingluo and Zhihua sent her out of the yard with tears in their eyes.

Jingse soon came to the Millennium Hall.

To her surprise, there were many people in the Millennium Hall.

From the first room to the third room, there are almost all the staff, even Aunt Tao who is pregnant is there.

Everyone's face was dignified, and they knew that something bad had happened at a glance.

Jing Se took a deep breath, walked over to salute Mrs. Jing, and then bowed to the Eldest Master Jing Yuhuan, and then the Third Master Jing Yuwei.

"Okay!" Jing Yuhuan waved his hand and said, "Since you're here, just stand and listen carefully, the old lady has something to explain."

Mrs. Jing glanced down to make sure that everyone was here before letting the maids back down.

Facing the people in the room, Mrs. Jing sighed helplessly, "In the morning, the concubine Shu in the palace sent a message, saying that Su Ruoyu, the third lady of the Duke of Jin's mansion, was arrested on suspicion of killing Qin Yao, the face of Princess Qinghe. Prison, no one knows what is going on in the prison now, but Princess Qinghe is the Holy Majesty's favorite, I don't need to say this, you should know that, since ancient times, no one who offended Princess Qinghe has ended well , although this matter has nothing to do with the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, after all, the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and the Duke of Jin's Mansion have this kind of in-law relationship. Everyone's relatives know that there is something wrong with their family. We shouldn't stand by and watch, but this happened. It happened too suddenly, and we don't know the cause and effect of the incident, so we really can't rush to help."

Hearing this, a sneer crept up in Jing Se's heart, and after talking for a long time, isn't Mrs. Jing just worried that the Duke of Jin's mansion will come to ask for help and implicate the Right Prime Minister's mansion?

Intentionally or unintentionally, she glanced at Jing Se, and Mrs. Jing continued: "The purpose of calling you together today is to tell you that the matter of the Duke of Jin's mansion is unclear. Fang Fang welcomes people in and entertains them well, but once the other party asks the elder to intercede in court, you will have to find a way to politely refuse. We are not ignorant of our relatives and extending a helping hand However, it was Princess Qinghe that Miss Su offended after all, and there are hundreds of people in the Right Prime Minister's House, and it is very likely that because the Elder Master asked for an excuse for Miss Su in the court hall, they all had to be buried with Princess Qinghe."

At the end, Mrs. Jing looked at Jing Se, "Over there at Prince Chu's mansion, I have ordered someone to notify you that you are not in good health for the past two days and you should not go out, and you will go see Brahma after a while when you recover. , Arthur, you are living in Muyun residence these days, and don't go anywhere. Not only can you not leave the mansion, but the owners of the houses in this mansion are also not allowed to leave the mansion. If there is an appointment in advance, think There is a way to get away."

Jing Se clenched her fingers tightly in her sleeves and pursed her lips in silence.

At this time, Duke Jin's mansion must be in chaos, and grandmother must be heartbroken. Even if I can't help, it's good to go to comfort her. I didn't expect Mrs. Jing to do things so terribly that she put an end to everything. opportunity to leave the house.

Jing Yuhuan frowned slightly, "Arthur, the old lady is talking to you, why are you standing there in a daze?"

Jing Se pulled back her thoughts, and forced the corners of her mouth to twitch: "Yes, Arthur will remember the old lady's instructions."

Looking at Jing Yuhuan, Mrs. Jing said: "Boss, you have been an official for decades. What you can say in the officialdom and what you can't say, you should think about it yourself, don't ruin yourself because of a momentary compassion. In the future, the Jing family can become today's century-old Zanying family, all thanks to the shadow of their ancestors, whether this prosperity can be passed on to you depends on your personal creation."

Jing Yuhuan nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, old lady, my son will save it."

After everyone dispersed, Mrs. Jing left Jing Se alone.

"Arthur, do you have any opinion on my decision today?" Mrs. Jing asked directly.

Jing Se lowered her eyes, "Arthur dare not."

Mrs. Jing gave her a deep look, "I have always understood you, so just say what you want, there is no one else here."

Since Mrs. Jing said so, Jing Se is not polite anymore, she raised her head and asked: "Does the old lady believe that Miss Su San will do such a thing?"

Mrs. Jing looked helpless, "There were so many people just now, I can't tell the truth, now you are the only one here, so I don't shy away from anything."

She said: "Do you know why Miss Su San got involved in this matter?"

Jing Se shook her head, "Arthur doesn't know."

"I heard privately that she went out of the city yesterday to have a tryst with Qin Yao." Mrs. Jing said, "As for what she said, no one knows, but Mr. Qin did die because of her, just like Princess Qinghe. temperament, do you think she will let her go easily?"

Of course Jing Se knew that Su Ruoyu went out of the city to meet Qin Yao, but she never expected that Qin Yao would die like this. What happened during this period, and how did Qin Yao die? Questions aroused Jing Se restless.

"Old lady, is the third cousin the only one who was arrested?" Jing Se remembered that Su Ruoyu said that she would find another companion to accompany her, so when Qin Yao died, that person should have seen it too.

Besides, Ye Zhiwen was clearly in the pasture yesterday, why didn't he hear the news of his arrest?

"It's true that Miss Su San is the only one." Mrs. Jing nodded, "This incident happened last night, and everything happened too suddenly. It was already late at night when I received the news, so I didn't want to disturb you, so I simply stayed until today. Say it sooner."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Jing looked at Jing Se and said meaningfully: "Arthur, you may think I'm selfish, but I made this move for the sake of the wealth and lives of hundreds of people in the right prime minister's house. You Whether I understand it or not, I will never let you step out of the gate of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, let alone get you involved in this matter. You have not been in Jinling for many years, so maybe you don't know the power of Princess Qinghe. He was a man of great personality, he acted unscrupulously according to the favor of the Holy Majesty, and even the concubines in the harem had to be courteous when they saw it. In comparison, Princess Danyang yesterday was far less than Princess Qinghe's vicious methods. You are just a daughter of a boudoir, and you have no rank, and it will not benefit you in the future if you offend her."

"Arthur knows." Although she was unwilling, Jing Se had to admit that Mrs. Jing was right. She is the most authoritative person in this family and an example for this family. People's lives are used as a gamble, and by then not only her but hundreds of lives will be destroyed, and that will be the beginning of the demise of a family.

Back at Muyunju, Yingluo greeted her eagerly, "Miss Biao, how is it?"

Jing Se helplessly shook her head and sighed, "I can't help it. The old lady has prevented me from going out of the house. I'm afraid I won't be able to see my grandmother during this period of time."

"What!" Yingluo's body softened and she almost fainted. She has been with Mrs. Jin for many years, and she has long treated Mrs. Jin as her own grandmother, and her emotions are naturally deep. At this time, I heard that Mrs. Jing is not After leaving the mansion, Yingluo felt her eyes darkened, and she didn't even have the energy to cry.

With tears in her eyes, she said weakly: "The kindness that the Duke's wife treats her servants is as great as a mountain. If I can't be by her side at this time, wouldn't I be a wolf-hearted dog?"

"Yingluo, you want to be more open." Jing Se stretched out her hand to support her, and comforted her: "The third uncle followed his grandfather to guard the border, and now only the second uncle can speak in the court of the Duke of Jin. Uncle is Ruoyu's biological father, so obviously it won't work. Grandmother is planning to contact the ministers who were close friends with grandfather in the past to help intercede. Even if you pass by, it won't be of much help. , I accepted it for my grandmother, but now we can't even get out of the gate of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, worrying is useless, it's better to find a way to let people go out to find out the news is the most important thing."

Jing Se's words have always had the effect of calming people's hearts. As expected, most of the gloom on Yingluo's face receded. She looked at Jing Se earnestly, "Miss, can you really think of a way?"

Jing Se said: "There is no unparalleled road in the sky."

While the two were talking, Jiang Li floated down in front of them and said in a low voice, "Miss, Fan Shizi and Fan Er Lord are here."
