Xian Qing walked through the back garden of Shen's mansion and walked around the pavilion. Miss Shen's yard was almost completely planted with camellias. The fragrance was a bit cloying to him. What a secret guard liked most was the smell of blood.
Zhiyun and Huawan were nervously packing away the poison. When they looked up and saw Xianqing standing in front of them, they were so frightened that they almost dropped the bottles in their hands.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you." Xian Qing comforted softly, patting both of them on the shoulders at the same time.
Zhiyun and Huawan looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion. Why does Governor Jiang's adopted son appear here?
Xianqing didn't explain. She squatted down, took the bottle from Zhiyun's hand, and started to help sort it. Her fingers were slender, but her movements were extremely skillful, as if she had done this kind of work countless times.
"This is filled with Linhua powder. If you are not careful, you will lose your life. You two young ladies should leave these menial tasks to me, and don't hurt yourself."
Hearing toxic. The two of them were so frightened that they quickly retracted their hands, "Thank you... thank you, are you?"
Zhiyun and Huawan had never seen this man in the house before, so they thought he was unfamiliar, and he actually knew about Mrs. Luo. They were confused, but they didn't thank him. They only guessed that he might be Mrs. Luo's new thug.
Xianqing sneered, "You're welcome, little lady."
"Xiajiang Xianqing is the adopted son of Jiang Yubai, the commander-in-chief of the Fifth Army."
"Thank you for helping me collect evidence. When the time comes to bring down the concubine surnamed Luo, the two young ladies must also have contributed a lot."
Zhiyun and Huawan were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged Xianqing for mercy. If Mrs. Luo found out, their lives would definitely be in danger.
Xianqing smiled softly and looked down at the two little maids kneeling in front of her. Her tone was full of gentleness: "Don't worry, I'm here to help you and I won't let Mrs. Luo find you." .”
She stood up slowly, looked at the other end of the yard, and sneered at the corner of her mouth: "The concubine named Luo relied on Shen Hong's backing to dominate and make Miss Shen suffer a lot of injustice. Although I hold Qing Qing, He’s not a good person, but he can’t stand this kind of pretentious behavior.”
Zhiyun and Huawan raised their heads, a trace of doubt flashing in their eyes. They have been maids in this mansion for several years and have been bullied by Mrs. Luo.
"How about you follow me? This is what Miss Shen means."
"With my foster father Jiang Yubai to protect you, and Miss Shen's family to protect you, the money you get every month will definitely be more than what you have to work so hard here."
Zhiyun and Huawan looked at each other, filled with hesitation. They have been maids in this mansion for several years. Although they have suffered a lot of bullying from Mrs. Luo, their life is pretty good.
What's more, it's not like they haven't heard of Governor Jiang's ruthlessness. The current life is already very difficult, and they don't want to come out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth again.
Now, although the conditions proposed by Xian Qing are tempting, they are still unknown and they have to consider carefully.
"Young Master Xianqing, we appreciate your kindness." Zhiyun lowered his head, his voice trembling, "But we are just little maids and have no ability to do anything big."
"It's because you are just maids, so you need someone to help you."
Xian Qing looked at them firmly, "You can take more money and ensure your own safety. Shen Hong and the concubine named Luo are not easy to deal with, and your life here will not be easy."
Zhiyun was the first to waver, "What do you want us to do?"
Hua Wan took her arm and shook her head, signaling her not to take risks.
"It's very simple. Report to me the daily whereabouts of Shen Hong and the concubine named Luo, who they met and what they did."
"It's that simple?"
"It's that simple."
Xianqing took out some money from his pocket. A solid bag was enough for them to live a prosperous life for a while. "Hua Wan, you have a sister who works odd jobs at a bun shop in the south of the city and is often bullied. I can help." You get your family settled.”
The two sisters were kicked out of their family because they were girls and sold to a landlord in the next village. Huawan couldn't bear the humiliation and took her sister for three days and three nights before arriving in the capital. She was kindly picked up by Mrs. Sheng as a maid.
Her younger sister was taken in by the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop to do odd jobs. Seeing that she was smart and capable, he stayed here, not to mention that her older sister who was a maid in the house would send some money over every month.
"Thank you, sir. You have done your work. Hua Wan swears to be loyal to you to the death."
"Sister Zhiyun, you are lonely and helpless. Miss Shen will definitely arrange a good place for you in the future."
They had lived enough of being dependent on others and being humiliated. Now that Xianqing offered such conditions, it was hard not to be moved. The two handed the medicine bottle to Xianqing, who gave them two Empty bottles delivered.
They told Mrs. Xian Qingluo's every move these days, and how she framed Miss Shen.
Xian Qing couldn't help but sigh that this woman was so vicious. Shen Hong didn't even let his own niece go!
After Xianqing returned, he told Governor Jiang everything about the situation. Governor Jiang looked at the Linhua Powder in his hand and felt a trace of anger in his heart. This matter must have something to do with Prince Rui.
Jiang Yubai pinched Linhuasan, his fingers were tense, his veins were bulging, and his eyes were filled with anger.
"Governor Jiang, calm down. Although Linhua San is powerful, Miss Shen is blessed with great fortune, so she will be fine." Xian Qing felt uneasy. He knew that Jiang Yubai was most angry with someone who framed him.
When he was raised in the house, people often came to bully him. Governor Jiang simply adopted him as his adopted son, threatening that in the future, Qianqing would be his Jiang Yubai, and he would humiliate himself at the same time.
Jiang Yubai threw Linhua Powder on the table, took a sip of strong wine, and the anger in his heart calmed down a little.
He loosened his clenched fists and sighed softly: "Prince Rui is very scheming. This time he definitely wants to use the hands of that stupid woman Luo Mei to kill Shen Zhiyi. Although Shen An is a general who protects the country, he has been fighting for many years. Only Prince Rui can get on the line with Shen Hong outside, but now that Shen An is back, he has no chance, so he wants to turn the Shen family upside down."
What's more, the embezzlement of imperial funds was caused by Shen Hong and Prince Rui working together to get the disaster relief funds allocated by the court. Prince Rui also interfered with it. That stupid woman Luo Mei actually got the evidence of Prince Rui and wanted to use it to blackmail him. Little did she know. Jiang Yubai had known about this for a long time.
Prince Rui had planned to get rid of Luo Mei for a long time, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not worth getting rid of just one Luo Mei. He wanted to use the hands of two idiots Luo Mei and Shen Hong to get rid of the Shen family and Xie Shaoheng, and bring down Shen. The military power of the family belongs to oneself.
