Seeing this, Mi Ya'er cast her unclear gaze from a distance towards Liu Yingying's face, and her hand holding the handkerchief tightened slightly unconsciously.
Seeing this, Mrs. Shen's sharp eyes fell on that beautiful face. After a moment, they fell on Ya'er's slightly lowered face. Although she was smiling, her eyes were clearly filled with deep thoughts. .
This episode passed quickly and no one noticed.
The Shen family and his entourage were quickly led to the guest room in the backyard to rest.
When I went there, I realized that most of the backyard was occupied by other female relatives from Qingyuan City. There were not enough guest rooms, so Liu Yingying, Yao Yulan, and Su Ziqing were placed in the small courtyard next door.
When the young novice was leading them to the resettlement, they happened to meet a group of female family members at the door of the backyard as they entered the backyard. They saw a group of four or five female family members dressed in rich and luxurious clothes, and the level of luxury was not lower than that of the Shen family.
Qingyuan is the territory of the Shen family. There are not many households in the entire Qingyuan City that can compare with it, but there are a few prominent households. When they get closer, they see that the leading woman is dignified and luxurious, with an air of overwhelming nobility. She looks at her slightly. Somewhat familiar.
"Miss Su, Miss Liu——"
After getting closer, the other person spoke first and actively greeted them.
Liu Yingying raised her eyes and saw that the noble lady at the head was Zheng Xueyun, the daughter of the Duke's family who had a close relationship.
Zheng Xueyun was followed by three or four girls, two of whom looked familiar. They should be cousins or concubines from other houses of the Zheng family.
"Miss Zheng."
The moment she saw Zheng Xueyun, Liu Yingying felt an inexplicable chill in her heart for some reason.
After a while, Su Ziqing and Yao Yulan bowed towards each other at the same time.
Then Zheng Xueyun walked over in a few steps, passed Su Ziqing and Yao Yulan, personally helped Liu Yingying at the end, looked at Liu Yingying with a smile and said: "Sister Liu, we meet again. "
After a pause, he said again: "Who did I think came and made such a big noise? I didn't expect that it was the Shen family who came. If I had known you were coming, I should have gone to the mountain pass in person early in the morning. Welcome."
Zheng Xueyun held Liu Yingying's hand and chatted about home affairs, acting affectionately.
Facing Zheng Xueyun's inexplicable enthusiasm, Liu Yingying felt a strange sense of uneasiness in her heart.
She and Zheng Xueyun had only met each other, and they had spoken less than ten sentences in total, which was far from being close to this level.
However, despite the doubts in his heart, he still smiled and said: "If the eldest girl and cousin know that Miss Zheng is here, they will definitely be happy from ear to ear."
Zheng Xueyun was also very happy and asked: "Where are the two of them? They are going to be resettled now. No, it's not easy. Why are they lying down as soon as they come? I have to pull them together." Go to the temple with me."
Zheng Xueyun was chatting. As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the maid behind Liu Yingying and the others hugging the gift bag. She was confused and said, "Hey, where are you going?"
Liu Yingying said: "The backyard is full, and the young master will lead the rest of us to the other courtyard behind."
Zheng Xueyun reacted and immediately apologized: "It turns out that we occupied the guest room, causing you to go to another courtyard."
While talking, he apologized to Liu Yingying and others again and again, and sent someone to ask the Zheng family if they could squeeze out a few more rooms. Liu Yingying, Su Ziqing and others refused, and Zheng Xueyun then relaxed and said : "Okay, if you need anything these days, just send someone over to me."
Then he said: "Have a good rest tonight, and I'll see you again tomorrow to play!"
While talking, he said goodbye to Liu Yingying and others.
When the two sides passed each other in front of the backyard door, a veiled person at the end of the Zheng family's team suddenly turned his head slowly and looked in the direction of Liu Yingying.
The moment the other party turned around, Su Ziqing and Yao Yulan both stopped in their tracks and froze on the spot, looking at the veiled man with somewhat stunned eyes. Go.
Liu Yingying also followed the gaze of the two people for a moment, and saw that the man was wearing a magenta dress. The red dress was like fire, and the color was extremely rich. She also saw that the dress was wide, but she tied a wide belt in front of her waist. , the wide skirt and robe, restrained by the belt, instantly accentuated her slender waist, making her look as slender as a water snake.
This outfit was exactly the same as Liu Yingying's outfit at the old lady's birthday party that day.
Then I saw that the other party was wearing a gold hairpin, with a wisp of fiery red enchanting flowers painted on his forehead. His whole face was completely covered by a white veil, but the eyes exposed outside the veil were clearly very enchanting and charming. He raised his eyes. When looking at people, the gurgling spring water is sultry and can easily capture people's soul.
These are not the important points. The important point is that those eyes are 70-80% similar to Liu Yingying's eyes.
Coupled with such an outfit, Su Ziqing and Yao Yulan were startled at a quick glance, thinking they had seen Liu Yingying in person.
The two stood there for a moment.
When Liu Yingying saw the man's appearance, her heart skipped a beat.
At this time, as they passed each other, the other party smiled at Liu Yingying. Under the thin veil, the other party's red lips opened slightly, as if she whispered to Liu Yingying: "Miss Hongfu."
Liu Yingying's head suddenly screamed.
This person turned out to be Yun Nishang.
Chapter 120
"Does Sister Liu have a twin sister, just like the Bai sisters? Did my sister just see it? That person is actually... born exactly like her sister?"
By the way, after Zheng Xueyun and his party left, Liu Yingying and others stayed in place, unable to recover for a long time. Yao Yulan was the first to come back to her senses and looked at Liu Yingying's face in surprise.
Liu Yingying pondered for a moment after hearing the words, then Fang pretended to be calm, smiled faintly at Yao Yulan and said: "I have three little sisters, but they are all a little younger, but they are not similar to me, and they have never heard of me. My parents, relatives and friends have mentioned that there is a twin sister in this world, but I don’t think so.”
Liu Yingying looked at Yao Yulan with a faint smile, her eyes fixed on her face for a moment, and then said: "Besides, I don't think the girl just now looks like me."
After saying that, Liu Yingying nodded towards the two of them and said, "It's getting late, let's hurry up and make arrangements."
As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for the other party to respond, Liu Yingying walked slowly past the two of them and said to the young Miseng who was leading the way: "Master Lao is leading the way."
As soon as Liu Yingying followed the little monk away, she saw Yao Yulan saying to Su Ziqing: "It's amazing that there are such similar people in the world."
Su Ziqing, however, kept raising his gaze, watching the beautiful figure disappear from his sight. Then he slowly withdrew his gaze and looked at Yao Yulan and said lightly: "At first glance, they are somewhat similar, but upon closer inspection, It’s nothing more than imitating others.”
After Su Ziqing finished speaking, he walked away slowly.
Yao Yulan was left standing there, stunned for a moment, and looked at the backs of the two people leaving one after another. After a moment, she turned her head and looked in the direction of the Zheng family's group in the courtyard where they were leaving, her eyes suddenly slowly narrowed. Get up.
This side courtyard is much smaller than the backyard just now, and the courtyard is also much simpler and simpler, but it is cleaner and quieter than before.
Liu Yingying's room was juxtaposed with Su Ziqing and Yao Yulan's. Her room was in the innermost room. As soon as Fang entered the room, he saw Liu Yingying's calm expression suddenly darkened.
Unexpectedly, I met Zheng Xueyun here when I first came to Hanshan Temple.
In fact, Liu Yingying was caught off guard.
Ever since Zheng Xueyun's vague interrogation, Liu Yingying has always had a stone in her heart, always buried in her heart, and never completely dropped. Now, the stone finally fell to the ground, and she breathed a sigh of relief. While angry, Liu Yingying's expression suddenly became serious.
Liu Yingying could almost conclude that Zheng Xueyun already knew her true identity.
She purposely asked Yun Nishang to put on a robe similar to hers, purposely brought the person to her side, and purposely brought him to Hanshan Temple. What exactly was her intention? Zheng Xueyun, Shen Yuechan, and Mi Ya'er If you have a good relationship with someone, could it be that you bring them here specially to expose the informant?
However, she had no enmity with Zheng Xueyun, and there was no need for Zheng Xueyun to kill her like this. However, what he did today clearly seemed like he was deliberately trying to fight against her!
If Yun Nichang shows up in front of others, her identity will undoubtedly be exposed to others. Let alone a concubine, she will be like a rat crossing the street, and everyone will shout to beat her up.
Once her identity is exposed, let alone the Shen family, no matter where she goes, she will never be able to get rid of her identity as a prostitute. With the reputation of being the number one prostitute in Jiangnan, no matter where she goes in the future Aren't they all just walking toys everywhere?
Liu Yingying felt helpless for a moment.
At this moment, I suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.
She happily traveled thousands of miles to come to Qingyuan City, a place she was unfamiliar with. She originally wanted to be "anonymous" and find a place for herself, but in the end she found that there was nowhere to hide. Secrets that are kept well will eventually come towards you densely and in various ways, like a tide, pervasive and impossible to guard against, and will eventually engulf you completely.
"Girl, that person just now——"
When Taoyao saw Liu Yingying entering the house, her face instantly fell, and she knew it was because of the veiled woman behind Miss Zheng just now.
I vaguely felt that there was something strange in this, and I immediately became worried.
Taoyao's words suddenly broke Liu Yingying's solemn look.
Liu Yingying raised her fingertips and rubbed her eyebrows. After a long time, she said a little tiredly: "It's okay."
After a pause, he sighed slowly and said: "It's rare to go out. Let's just relax for a few days. If there is anything, we will... the soldiers will come to block the water and cover it with soil." stop."
Although Liu Yingying said this on her face, she was actually thinking quickly in her mind whether she should go to meet Zheng Xueyun at night, or whether she should just sit back and find a helper before the incident happened. Eradicating these troubles neatly and completely, for example, blackmailing... Shen Lang to help her?
But then she thought about it, if the person named Shen knew her true identity, she would never think about staying in the Shen family any longer.
What difference does it make if a handle is transferred from one person's hand to another?
Suddenly, Liu Yingying suddenly remembered Zheng Xueyun's subtle test at the old lady's banquet last time, and how the other party was so mysterious during today's meeting. It seemed that she had no intention of exposing her on the spot. Thinking of this, Slender Ruyu's fingers tapped twice on the table.
So behind Zheng Xueyun's pretentiousness, is he "seeking" something?
"What's wrong?"
While thinking about it, seeing that Tao Yao was still hesitant to speak, as if she still had something to say, Liu Yingying relaxed and said, "Just tell me what you have to say. There is nothing that cannot be said between the two of us."
Tao Yao hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said: "What the old lady is holding today should be the birth dates and dragon and phoenix invitations of the eldest son and cousin -"
While talking, Tao Yao slowly glanced at Liu Yingying, and then continued: "I also have this custom in my hometown. Before the engagement, the couple's Geng Tie is sent to a respected person in the temple to have it passed on, so that the marriage can be guaranteed. Long-lasting and stable.”
When Tao Yao said this, her tone suddenly paused. For a long time, she only looked at Liu Yingying carefully and said: "If... if the cousin and the eldest son get married, then... what should the girl do? "
Tao Yao rarely looked worried.
After all, the girl and the eldest son have already become husband and wife.
If the eldest son refuses to admit his guilt and later marries another girl, what will happen to her girl? Is it possible... Is it possible that she confessed her innocence in vain?
Liu Yingying was slightly startled when she heard these words. She thought Taoyao was worried about Yun Nichang just now, but unexpectedly it was——
Thinking of the rabbit that was transferred under the mountain spring today, and the pair of dragon and phoenix stickers in the hands of Mrs. Shen in the temple today, Liu Yingying pursed her lips and said word by word: "Don't worry, I have made my own decision."
The next day, at dawn, there was a slight noise from Su Ziqing's house next door. Not long after, Su Ziqing and Yao Yulan sent people over one after another to invite Liu Yingying to have breakfast with them.
It turns out that Hanshan Temple holds fasting meals at a fixed time every morning, and both the monks and the guests staying in the temple eat in the unified dining hall of the temple.
This is one of the biggest traditions of Hanshan Temple.
Liu Yingying had the habit of going to bed late, so she was delayed for a while when she got up early. When she got up early, she deliberately cheered up and was mentally prepared for a big battle to be fought today. With this in mind, she When he rushed to the dining hall in a hurry, he didn't expect to see Zheng Xueyun himself. Not only did he not see Zheng Xueyun, he didn't even see anyone in the Shen family.
As soon as we entered the dining hall, we saw many young monks rushing out with bowls and chopsticks in their hands, but the entire dining hall was already empty.
Liu Yingying casually grabbed a young monk and asked, and saw the young monk clasping his hands and saying: "Returning to the donor, today is the disciplinary meeting held once every ten days in the temple. The Discipline Hall is punishing the disciples who broke the precepts. The donors of the Shen family are I heard that Uncle Xuanjue had entered the Punishment Hall and might be punished together today, so we all ran over."
Monk Xiaomi said solemnly.
Uncle Xuanjue?
Liu Yingying was a little confused, but seeing that all the Shen family members were gone, she hesitated for a moment and slowly followed.
When I went there, I saw that the outside of the Discipline Hall was full of people. Shen Yuechan, Mi Yaer and other female relatives were all there. Even the female relatives of the Zheng family were all there. Zheng Xueyun's body was particularly noticeable in the crowd. Conspicuous, Liu Yingying searched around her specifically, but Yun Nishang was nowhere to be seen.
Liu Yingying felt a little relieved, and then she looked carefully and saw a Buddha statue placed in the ordination hall, and a ordination stool in the center of the room, with two neat rows of sticks on both sides of the stool. , from a distance, it looks like a small yamen for interrogating and punishing prisoners.
When Liu Yingying passed by, a young monk who was naked and had been slapped had already fainted and was carried out by two monks.
His back was hideous and bloody.
