Shi Yun followed the shopkeeper to look at them one by one, and then picked the best one. While following the shopkeeper to pay the deposit, she casually asked: "Speaking of which, General Gu's house should also have a carriage, but I Last time I went to the General’s Mansion, I saw your carriage?”
This is a great opportunity to promote their own carriage. The shopkeeper said hurriedly: "Our carriage is good, I'm not bragging. As long as there are useful carriages in this capital, 99% of them come directly to my house to order. The Gu family..."
He paused and didn't speak. Shi Yun knew that people in this business had to keep their mouths shut, so she quickly stuffed a banknote into her and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you don't know, the third prince's concubine and Mrs. Gu are... Blood sisters."
Therefore, it is not a big deal for the elder sister to ask her younger sister about family affairs.
The shopkeeper looked down at the banknote and wanted to refuse, but Shi Yun said again: "Your Highness, the Third Prince, happened to meet Mrs. Gu when she came back to her residence some time ago, and she even sent someone to send rice and noodles there. Our Prince's Mansion, and The General's Mansion is like a good family."
These words were a bit threatening. As she spoke, she exposed the waistband of the Third Prince's Mansion and fiddled with it over and over. The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, then lowered his voice and said: "The Gu family is indeed here to rent a carriage. What kind of place is the General's Mansion? It must have its own carriage, but no one is in the capital all year round, so the carriage is not rented. Take care of it. I listened to Mrs. Gu and the people around me. There was a musty smell inside the carriage. I was afraid that it would be bad for the child's health. They would rather go outside and rent a carriage. He also said that the person looking after the carriage was careless and should be punished. They were driven out."
"Then where is Mrs. Gu going to take the child with her?" Shi Yun asked curiously. The shopkeeper took a look at Shi Yun and felt that this girl was a little different. At first, she emphasized that the third prince's concubine and Gu The madam is a biological sister, and now that we are inquiring about this information, it seems that the third prince's concubine does not understand Madam Gu very well. My biological sister, where is my biological sister? You, the biological sister, have to go to the carriage shop to find out?
But firstly, he got the money, and secondly, Shi Yun's waist card was still there. The shopkeeper couldn't tell whether it was the third prince's concubine who wanted to inquire, or someone else in the third prince's mansion. As a carriage dealer, he really didn't need to offend the third prince's mansion for Mrs. Gu, so he simply went ahead and asked. That's right.
"Listening to Mrs. Gu talking to the maid next to her, it sounds like she went to Duke Chengen's house." The shopkeeper said, and Shi Yun pursed her lips, thanked her, and turned to leave.
The waiter quickly shouted: "This bill..."
The shopkeeper waved his hand: "No need to open it, I guess this carriage will no longer be used."
The waiter was puzzled, and the shopkeeper smiled and said: "You are still young, study hard in the future." As for the deposit, it is definitely non-refundable, it is considered part of the reward. The shopkeeper gave some to the waiter by the way. Everyone who saw this kind of windfall had a share, otherwise people would feel uncomfortable and cause trouble in the future.
Shi Yun still didn't go back to the third prince's house. Instead, she bought a hat and a pair of loose men's clothes to cover up her figure, and then went to the west side of the city. Most of the people living in the west of the city are poor, so there are naturally beggars.
Shi Yun walked two or three streets, spotted a few locations, and remembered them. Then she returned to the Third Prince's Mansion and took off the man's clothes, revealing her appearance and figure.
Zhao Ruolan knew that it would take time to inquire about the information, so she did not ask immediately. But Shi Yun was murmuring in her heart, what was Zhao Zhilan doing at Cheng'en Palace? Duke Chengen's Mansion is the queen's natal family and the second prince's in-law family.
Whether it was the Yongyi Marquis Mansion or the General Mansion, they had little contact with the second prince. Firstly, they really had no friendship, and secondly, they wanted to avoid suspicion.
When Zhao Zhilan came back from the border, the first thing she should do was go to Yongyihou Mansion, then reunite with Zhao Ruolan, and the third thing was to visit relatives and friends of the Gu family. She had no grievances against Chengen Mansion, so how could she come here? What about a visit?
Is it possible that Zhao Ruolan really guessed that Zhao Zhilan got some chance to be reborn?
Shi Yun couldn't guess it herself, so she just waited for the news from the Shi family, which was the middle-aged man and woman. Normally Shi Yun's real last name should be Shi, but Zhao Ruolan couldn't tell her age when she picked her up. Zhao Ruolan was a scholar, so he gave her a less unpleasant name and called her Shi Yun.
The Shi family also acted quickly. Within five days, Mrs. Shi came to deliver the news.
After sending Mrs. Shi away, Shi Yun came to Zhao Ruolan with a heavy heart. Whatever she could find out, she told the truth. Of course, she couldn't add her own guesses. Zhao Ruolan still has to draw the conclusion on this matter, not Shi Yun.
Zhao Ruolan sat on the soft couch and pursed her lips tightly, and after a while she said: "I think she probably didn't get much chance. I was panicked before, but now I think about it carefully, if I were in her shoes, I would be her , I have such an opportunity, what should I do after I return to Beijing? The first is to eliminate the people who threaten the Gu family, and the second is to visit the people who can help the Gu family in the future. "
"Cheng'en Gong was the first person in my previous life to stand up and accuse Gu Zheng of collaborating with the enemy. If I were Zhao Zhilan, I would wish to cut Cheng'en Gong into pieces with a thousand knives. I would never be the first to visit..." Zhao Ruolan said, Yun received a large amount of information, and her mind was in a storm at the moment.
No wonder Zhao Ruolan was very dissatisfied with the queen. When she was in the palace, she rarely asked her to please her, and when she left the palace, she became even more distant. It turns out that there was still such a layer of hatred in the previous life.
That's really...
"Look at the families she visited. They are either in-laws or old friends. There are also people who helped the Gu family in their previous lives, but their status is not high. They can only say a few words, but they cannot be of much help. The ones who can be of great help are one It's the Dingguo Duke's Mansion, and one is the Grand Scholar Pei... But she has never been to either of them."
Shi Yun didn't speak, just listened to Zhao Ruolan's analysis.
After a moment of pause, Zhao Ruolan suddenly said: "Is the Third Prince back?"
The third prince was busy at this time. He went out early and came back late every day. He had not entered the backyard for five or six days in a row. In other words, since Zhao Ruolan came back from the Gu family, she has never seen the third prince again.
In fact, the more this happened, the more Shi Yuncai relaxed - she was afraid that Zhao Ruolan would get angry and quarrel with the third prince again. If the third prince does not come back and the couple does not meet each other, then Zhao Ruolan's tone will slowly dissipate as time goes by, and this matter will not cause too much trouble.
When she heard the question, Shi Yun was about to shake her head when she heard footsteps coming from outside. She looked out and saw Xiuxiu hurriedly coming in to report: "His Royal Highness is back and is about to arrive at the main courtyard."
Zhao Ruolan hurriedly stood up and went outside to greet her. As soon as she left the house, the third prince entered the courtyard.
The third prince did not look at Zhao Ruolan who was saluting, but went directly into the room, sat down at the table with a golden sword, and asked directly: "Are you feeling unwell these past two days?"
Zhao Ruolan was a little confused when she asked, and then shook her head: "No, how could His Highness ask such a question?"
"I heard that you were feeling unwell when you came back from the Gu family..." the third prince said, and Shi Yun felt bad after hearing this. First of all, this happened five or six days ago. If you were concerned, why didn't the third prince ask about it that day? Furthermore, if you are concerned, shouldn't you ask if you have seen a doctor or taken medicine? You talked about the Gu family when you first came up. What did Zhao Ruolan think? You would definitely think that this news came from the Gu family, but the old lady of the Gu family didn't care about anything, so did Zhao Zhilan and the third prince meet in private again?
She thought this way and asked: "You and Zhao Zhilan met? You have no shame! Do you really think you don't know what the word shame means? You are already married, she is already married, you two..."
Before Shi Yun had time to stop her, she heard a snap. Zhao Ruolan was stunned for a while, then slowly reached out to cover her cheek and looked at the third prince with red eyes: "You hit me?"
The third prince said coldly: "You are the one who is being beaten. If you can't speak, then shut up! I really don't understand. By helping me, do you mean to drag me back step by step? Do you know? Do you know that if what you just said spreads out, your sister and I will never be able to see each other again?"
"You also know..." Zhao Ruolan shouted, and then Shi Yun covered her mouth: "Your Highness, please forgive me, our princess really likes you so much that she is jealous, jealous and bitter, so she can't speak in her head. I beg Your Highness, for the sake of our relationship as husband and wife, please spare our princess this time..."
The third prince looked at her with an expressionless face: "You are a loyal servant."
Zhao Ruolan struggled twice in Shi Yun's arms. Shi Yun lowered her voice and persuaded: "Princess and concubine, husband and wife are one. If His Highness loses his reputation, you will also be implicated. I know that you feel aggrieved and sad, but let's talk slowly." Okay? Let’s talk to His Highness about how Mrs. Gu plays tricks on you and how to deal with you, okay? Let His Highness make the decision for us, okay?”
She dragged Zhao Ruolan to kneel on the ground and begged the third prince: "It's not that our princess is not clear-headed, but Mrs. Gu really... said she prepared the food that the princess likes for us, but in the end, all the people served were your highness. Taste of... What he said, he also said that you often visit the Gu family and meet you often... We, the princess, love you to the core, and we really can't stand these words... In order not to lose our composure, we endured being enslaved. I helped him out and waited for five or six days when I came back, but I didn’t even see His Highness once..."
Shi Yun is very good at selling miserably. She has never seen pigs running and eaten pork, right? Although she was single since birth, those romantic TV series and romance novels are not for nothing.
