Qian Qiyue is a pistachio, and there is always laughter wherever she is.
Qian Qingran looked at his younger sister who was noisy with Xue Ru and a few other little girls, and turned to Tang Ning and said, "My father has already gone to see Princess Lu about the Qixi Festival night. Things are not going well in the Princess's Mansion these days." Better off."
Hearing this, Fu Laiqing gloated: "I heard that the prince-in-law was caught by the clan members and loaned us money. In order to suppress this incident, the eldest princess Leyang almost emptied half of the eldest princess's mansion. For this reason, she also had trouble with the prince-in-law. It’s so unstoppable.”
Tang Ning only curled his lips when he heard this, but there was something wrong with the loan sharking by the consort Sun. It was Qian Baokun who sent it to Prince Lu's Mansion, but he was not the one who released the loan shark. Princess Leyang She also had a share, otherwise she wouldn't be willing to spend all the savings of the eldest princess's mansion to settle the matter for the grandson's consort.
She quarreled with Sun's consort because Sun's consort ransomed an official prostitute away from home, and it was said that she was pregnant with her.
Princess Lu didn't know where she found out about this, so she stabbed her directly in front of Princess Leyang. Princess Leyang went to find her in a rage and killed the official prostitute with a sword on the spot, taking eight of her stomach with her. The one-month-old child did not survive either.
One corpse, two lives.
It is said that Prince Consort Sun was also slapped twice, and blood was seen at that time. Rather than saying that the two had a quarrel, it was more a unilateral catharsis by Princess Leyang.
The eldest princess's mansion kept this matter secret. Even if the outside world knew that eldest princess Leyang was "violent" to the consort, they would only think that she was angry about the prince's loan sharking. Tang Ning also sneaked into the eldest princess's mansion secretly. Only through Wei's mouth did he know.
I heard that after the death of the official prostitute, Prince Consort Sun admitted his mistake and apologized, and tried every means to please Princess Leyang to calm down her anger. But after the death of the person he liked, who knows whether Prince Consort Sun had any resentment in his heart.
Tang Ning didn't mention it, but just said: "They dare to harm sister A Yue, so it's cheap to lose some money."
Qian Qingran lowered his head: "When I came to the temple just now, I saw the car from the eldest princess's mansion also coming."
He looked at the petite little girl next to him, and his eyes fell on her face: "That Princess Leyang is not easy to get along with, and the family has just lost most of the family wealth. She covets Rongsheng Academy in your hands, and what happened on the Chinese Valentine's Day night I’m afraid I won’t give up until it’s done.”
Tang Ning's expression was calm: "I know, but I can't hide in Jiuyun Alley for the rest of my life because of her."
"She has been taught a lesson about Qixi Festival. Princess Lu took action. She should understand that what she did has been exposed, and she will probably restrain herself."
Qian Qingran frowned when he heard this and felt that Tang Ning was too naive. There were not many people in the royal family who knew how to measure. They were born noble and never understood the sufferings of the world. Moreover, Princess Leyang acted domineeringly just for the sake of an academy. He dared to plan for Tang Ning and Qian Qiyue to fall into the water, regardless of whether it would involve the lives of other people at the lake that night.
How could a person like this, who doesn't care about other people's life and death, be able to restrain himself?
Qian Qingran wanted to persuade Tang Ning, but when he saw her clear and clean eyes, it was difficult to say what he said. The little girl had a simple mind and naturally did not understand those dark things, let alone the cunning of the human heart.
That's all, he just needs to pay more attention.
The few of them chatted for a while, and then went back to their residences to rest late at night. Tang Ning and Xue Ru shared the same bed, and after seeing her asleep, they got up and walked to the window.
"Girl, the identities of the people in the temple have been discovered."
"Is Song Jinxiu here?"
"No, but people from the Cui family and the Second Prince's Mansion are here."
Cang Lang stood outside and lowered his voice: "The person from the Cui family is an in-law from their house. His surname is Pei. He works in the Ministry of Industry. A long history officer from the second prince's house came. It is said that he came to pray with the sister of the second prince's concubine. , and there are more than ten guards with him."
Tang Ning looked sarcastic when he heard this, so Song Jinxiu was never stupid, and he was not as innocent as he appeared.
While he was telling her that he regretted his mistake and wanted to do his best to protect her, at the same time, he used the fourth prince's plot against her to please the second prince to pave the way for him.
He gave Song Shulan to Luo Qilang of the Yongshun residence, and used the Luo family to follow the fourth prince's path to the Holy Palace, then turned around and defected to the second prince and the Cui family.
Song Jinxiu was so sure that the second prince's people would save her, instead of taking the opportunity to fulfill the fourth prince's plan and sacrificing her as a useless little girl. This could not only win over Xiao Yan, a powerful minister, but also put the fourth prince at risk. Death place?
Tang Ning sneered: "Where is the eldest princess's mansion?"
"The eldest princess Leyang found a male servant and secretly brought her into the temple. The fourth prince's house had people monitoring the eldest princess's youngest son Sun Yi."
Tang Ning understood the two plans after careful consideration. Princess Leyang was reluctant to let her son lose her reputation in public. She didn't dare to let Sun Yi fall into the water like on the night of Chinese Valentine's Day. She planned to find a man to ruin her innocence and then do other things. , but the Fourth Prince's Mansion wanted to use the Princess's Mansion to plot her affairs, and then let Sun Yi replace the manservant and become the one to hang out with her.
These people are truly more vicious than the last.
Tang Ning touched the sachet hanging on his waist: "Let people keep an eye on them, and don't pay attention to other things. Let them do it."
The more exciting tomorrow’s events are, the better!
…
After a good night's sleep, when Tang Ning and the others got up early the next morning, they found that there were more and more people in the temple.
The few remaining rooms at the back of the temple are all occupied, and occasionally you can hear the sound of people talking and walking outside the half-moon arch.
When Yue Jian and Hua Wu came back from fetching vegetarian food, they said that even the dining hall in the temple was crowded with people taking and eating. The great monks in the temple were also busy with the evening Dharma assembly, and almost no one was around.
Tang Ning and the others went to the Main Hall after dinner. The morning classes in the temple had just ended, and the morning lectures would begin in half an hour. There were already many familiar people gathered in the hall.
As soon as Tang Ning and the other three entered, they saw Qian Qiyue waving in this direction.
"Tang Ning, this way."
Many people in the hall looked towards the door. Tang Ning and the others entered together. Rong Yue greeted and talked to people she knew, while Tang Ning led Xue Ru to Qian Qiyue's side.
"Sister Ah Yue, why are you so early?"
"I never thought it was my mother who dug me out of bed so early." Qian Qiyue pouted and leaned on Tang Ning's shoulder, yawning with sleepy eyes: "My mother had to let me come. Listening to the morning class, saying that this is how to appear sincere, I was almost sleepy to death."
The sound of the great monk knocking on the wooden fish was so hypnotic that she almost fell asleep several times, and was woken up by her mother every time.
Xue Ru whispered: "Then Sister Qian hasn't eaten yet?"
Qian Qiyue said: "I woke up too early and couldn't eat."
Tang Ning patted her with some pity: "Then you lean on me and sleep for a while. Anyway, the lecture hasn't started yet."
Qian Qiyue rubbed her shoulder and yawned again, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes.
"I want to sleep, but I don't know if I've overdone it, but I can't sleep now. You don't know how cruel my mother is. My arm was almost swollen from the slap she just made. I suspect it must be bruised... …”
Tang Ning and Xue Ru stood beside Qian Qiyue, talking quietly to her, and the number of people in the main hall gradually increased.
Tang Ning raised her eyes and glanced at the familiar and unfamiliar faces around her. As she listened to Qian Qiyue whispering to her the identities of those people, she suddenly felt a sharp gaze falling on her.
She turned around and saw Princess Leyang coming in at some unknown time, accompanied by the fourth princess and several others.
