Princess Rongling's eyes were full of hatred, "But you didn't expect that Yan Qiao would come back at this time."
"Yes, I really want people to think that Lu Tao's body is that of Yan Qiao, but it doesn't work. I can't resign myself to fate. Thinking that my nails were accidentally broken and fell behind the brocade box, I followed suit and found Lu Tao. Tao's skin was secretly thrown into the barrel of night incense, hoping to prove her crime of absconding in fear of crime."
At this point, everyone already knew the cause and effect, but Li Qingyi still had something unclear and asked: "Have you never thought that you will not be able to get the remaining 1,500 taels and will be killed?" Silence?"
Lan Xin shook her head, "No, because those two people thought I was dead."
Everyone was stunned, but Li Qingyi suddenly understood, "Did you tell them that your name is Lu Tao?"
"That's right, those two people asked me about my identity. Of course I didn't dare to say my name. The person I hated the most at that time was Lu Tao, so I subconsciously gave her name. So I killed Lu Tao, and I also had For this reason, her face was ruined by me with a hairpin. Even if the wolf didn't eat her, no one would recognize her appearance. If someone wants to kill me and silence me, and finds the Yongping Marquis Mansion, they will hear that 'I 'Has run away, or 'I' am dead."
Everyone present in the room couldn't help but take a deep breath after hearing what she said.
How much thought can a person have?
An ordinary slave could be so precise and precise step by step.
The creepy feeling Princess Rongling had before came back again.
"you you……"
Lan Xin's expression was full of unwillingness, "If my brother hadn't missed the flaw, I wouldn't have been exposed at all..."
Princess Rongling finally couldn't help it and threw the tea cup in her hand at her head and face.
Lan Xin had a stubborn look on her face, as if she felt that it was not a loss since she had a green peach as a backing.
Princess Rongling was so angry that her heart palpitated.
Li Qingyi on the side suddenly said: "Your brother didn't show any flaws, he was not injured, I lied to you."
Lan Xin raised her head suddenly, "What did you say?"
Li Qingyi said: "Your mouth is tougher than a dead duck, so I have no choice but to make this move. We never tire of deceit, right?"
Lan Xin's complexion changed drastically, her breathing was up and down, it was obvious that she had been greatly stimulated.
Seeing her look like this, Princess Rongling was finally relieved, but she was afraid that she would get angry and hurt someone, so she immediately asked someone to come in and restrain her, "Tie her up, drag her out, and lock her up until she is punished!"
Lan Xin was dragged out, Princess Rongling fell back on the chair without any strength, "This Lan Xin... This Lan Xin, I really never expected it..."
"Although they are just slaves, they are also living people. Auntie underestimated the complexity of human hearts."
"Although we have caught the thief, we still don't know who bought Lan Xin."
Li Qingyi said thoughtfully, "I have a guess..."
Everyone looked at her.
Li Qingyi said: "This matter is still uncertain. If I say something wrong, I'm afraid it will only increase my troubles. But I have a way."
"any solution?"
"Can Auntie have someone draw a portrait of Green Peach for me to take back?"
"Of course, I will draw one for you myself." Although Princess Rongling was confused, she immediately asked someone to get the pen and ink.
Her painting skills are good, and she can outline the appearance of a green peach in just a few strokes.
Li Qingyi took the painting and said, "In that case, Yi'er will go back with her mother first. I will definitely reply to my aunt as soon as possible."
Princess Rongling nodded: "It's getting late today, so I won't keep you any longer. I'll hold a banquet for you to gather at my house another day."
Li Qingyi saluted and left the Yongping Marquis Mansion with Princess Yuanheng.
Princess Yuanheng looked at the painting in her arms, "Why did Yi'er take the portrait of Lu Tao? Who is it to show to?"
Li Qingyi replied with some humor: "Mother, I have a very wonderful guess that even I can't believe. I won't tell you about it for now. I will tell you when I have the result."
Seeing her mysterious look, Princess Yuanheng reached out and poked her on the head, "You are the only one with more tricks! But I really didn't expect that my Yi'er is so smart. Mother is really proud of you."
Li Qingyi looked at her in surprise when he heard this.
In two lifetimes, this was the first time Princess Yuanheng praised her clearly and expressed her feelings.
Seeing her look, Princess Yuanheng turned her face away in embarrassment, "Why, mother complimented you, it's worthy of your surprise."
Li Qingyi was happy with this change and said with a smile: "If mother praises me more in the future, I won't be so surprised."
Princess Yuanheng said angrily: "I think you are asking for a beating!"
The two laughed for a while, and the carriage arrived at Wei Mansion.
Princess Yuanheng said: "The wedding dress you asked Cuijinlou to help draw has been sent over. Jin'er should start embroidering the wedding dress in the next few days. I will go and see her first."
Li Qingyi smiled and said: "Then go ahead, mother. I'll go see Jin'er tomorrow."
Returning to Zhuoxiang Courtyard, Li Qingyi put down the portrait and told Heng Wu, "Tomorrow I will go to Cuijin Tower to choose clothes for the Lantern Festival on the 15th. Invite some girls from the Wei family for me and ask who wants to be with me." I'll go with you."
Heng Wu didn't know what the situation was, but since the girl said that, she must have had her intentions, so she went immediately.
Wei Jin'er has already been engaged and will not be seen outside in the near future.
The same goes for Wei Baozhu. After the first lunar month, she was about to enter the Fourth Prince's Mansion. At this time, she was hiding in the yard like a shrunken turtle, not going out easily for fear that someone would kill her.
The only ones who could go to Cuijin Tower with Li Qingyi were Wei Laner and a group of her concubines.
After a while, Heng Wu came back and reported, "Miss, Miss Wei San and Miss Wei Wu accepted your invitation."
Li Qingyi said "Yeah": "I understand."
Silan asked: "Miss Wei Wu, is she the one named Wei Jiao'er?"
Heng Wu nodded: "That's her."
Wei Jiao'er lives up to her name, with a delicate appearance and a delicate temperament. She is the most loved and pampered daughter of the third master of Wei, Wei Shiqian, and her status once surpassed that of his legitimate daughter Wei Lan'er.
I heard that when he first named Wei Jiaoer, Wei Shiqian originally wanted to call her "Wei Jiaoer", but it violated the taboo of naming a legitimate daughter and made the third wife Guo not happy, so she changed it to Wei Jiaoer. .
It is said that Wei Jiaoer deliberately called herself "Jiaoer" every time in front of Wei Laner. If Wei Laner got angry, she would say that the other party had heard wrong and was deliberately looking for trouble. Wei Laner was so angry that he fought with her several times because of this. Back.
However, Wei Lan'er became overly cautious after suffering a loss. When he heard Wei Jiao'er calling herself "Jiao'er", he ignored her and waited for her to put on her shoes secretly. After a few times, Wei Jiao'er no longer dared to use her name to anger Wei. Laner.
"The other concubines didn't dare to go with Wei Lan'er for fear of getting into trouble with her, so Miss Wei Wu was the boldest."
Li Qingyi responded with a smile: "Who expects people to have father's support?"
None of the girls replied, but a deep male voice answered: "Can't I support you?"
Li Qingyi saw Qin Zeng in the mirror and no longer asked "Why are you here?" Qin Zeng was truly "come and leave whenever he wanted."
She couldn't control it anyway.
"My lord can support me, but why do these words sound so awkward?"
With her father's support, does he still want to be her father?
Qin Zeng raised his eyebrows, waved the girls to go down, and found a chair to sit down. "You've been minding your own business these days. Do you have an idea of what I've asked you to do?"
Li Qingyi had a big head, so he knew that Qin Zeng was here to collect debts, and he immediately grimaced, "It's only been four or five days..."
"Four or five days? Humph." Qin Zeng was very dissatisfied with her careless attitude, "Aren't you afraid that Concubine Mu will tuck someone into the governor's bed in these four or five days?"
"Well... the daughter of the Mu family shouldn't be so impatient..."
"You mean, I'm not worthy of their anxiety?"
Li Qingyi: "..."
value! How could it not be worth it!
"Don't worry, sir, I'm already thinking of a solution!"
Qin Zeng looked at her coldly, "Just think now, the governor is waiting for you."
Li Qingyi: "..."
After being speechless for several times, Li Qingyi finally came up with an idea, "In my opinion, you might as well agree to it first."
"Um?"
Li Qingyi's arms were covered with goosebumps because of his long ending, and he quickly explained: "What I mean is... Your Excellency, you might as well choose one between Mu Yan and Mu Wan. It doesn't matter which one you choose, which one is best?" Set a date as well.”
Qin Zeng raised his eyebrows and looked at her: "You mean, if you choose one, the other will not be able to help but fight for it. Do you set the date to let them move quickly within a limited time?"
Li Qingyi smiled and said, "That's what I mean! There is no need for us to draw our swords, we can kill each other without any bloodshed."
Qin Zeng snorted coldly, "It's a good idea, but aren't you afraid of making things worse?"
Li Qingyi raised his chin slightly as if to demonstrate to him, "As long as the adults don't want to make things worse, if something goes wrong, I will draw the sword myself!"
Qin Zeng seemed to be pleased by her words of "drawing the sword personally". He frowned, took something out of his arms and threw it to her.
Li Qingyi exclaimed and caught it, "What is this?"
As she asked, she opened it and took a look. It turned out to be a ginseng that looked very old! ! !
What's the meaning?
Why did Qin Zeng give her ginseng if he had nothing to do? ?
Does this mean to let her make up for it?
She looked up, but Qin Zeng had long disappeared.
Okay, just treat her like a flower...
Early the next morning, Li Qingyi, Wei Laner, and Wei Jiaoer met at Chuihua Gate and left the house together to Cuijin Tower.
Wei Jiaoer talked a lot, chattering and asking questions all the way. One moment, she asked if Cuijinlou had any new styles, and the next moment, she asked Li Qingyi if he could reserve some clothes that were not yet on sale.
Li Qingyi was very patient and answered everything one by one.
When several people got off the car at the entrance of Cuijin Tower, Wei Jiaoer finally noticed the scroll in Li Qingyi's arms, "Sister Li, what are you holding in your arms? Could it be the latest style of clothes?"
