After the prince enters the play

254 Chapter 254: Fanning the flames

In the first month of the lunar year, the capital could freeze into ice at the breath. Yang Jin was wearing a thick padded jacket, but he still felt so cold that it made people want to curl up their hands and feet.

Wearing a half-worn cotton hat on his head, covering most of his face, he walked quickly along the streets of Fangshi, and soon arrived at the place he had an appointment with, when he saw a thin man squatting Waiting for him in the corner.

Yang Jin walked over, stretched out his foot and kicked him with the tip of his toe.

The man immediately raised his head and saw the person standing up hurriedly, with a flattering smile on his face, "Master Yang, are you here?"

Yang Jin nodded, "How is things going?"

"Thanks to your help, Aunt Qiao was able to move out of Liang's house. Everything has been settled. If you hadn't helped hire a doctor with excellent medical skills, the third young master might have died. Auntie said, wait until we see you You, I must invite you to drink tea, and thank you personally."

"Thank you, no need, I just had some problems with Mrs. Liang's family, so I did it smoothly." Yang Jin said in a low voice, and he looked at Wu An. Wu An's younger sister is Chunying, Qiao's most trusted personal maid, " I have already found out for you what you asked me for last time, Mrs. Liang's father is the governor of Ruzhou, and your aunt should know that she can't fight."

Because of Yang Jin's help to save the third young master last time, Wu An was really grateful and trusting to him, and he couldn't help sighing when he heard this, "Master Yang said that the adults and our aunt's childhood sweethearts were all together in the past. We have discussed the marriage, but who knew that the He family passed the word to the Madam with the intention of getting married, Madam decided to choose He as her daughter-in-law after careful consideration, our aunt's sky collapsed at that time."

Yang Jin already knew something from Wu An, and now he heard the old story brought up again, and sighed, "Master Liang is not easy, he doesn't want to disobey his mother, but he doesn't want to wrong Aunt Qiao, so he puts her outside without telling the family. "

Wu An couldn't hold back when he heard this, sighed and said: "Master Yang, you don't know, the reason why Madam did this is because she knew that our aunt was pregnant and couldn't run away. She wanted to keep my aunt at home as a concubine Then let the adults marry the He family, so that we can have both, but we don’t want to think that our aunt is a girl from a good family even though her family is poor, this move is really too shameless."

Yang Jin scolded a few more words, "It's really not kind, Mrs. Liang probably didn't expect that Aunt Qiao would really run away."

"However, our aunt is a person who cares about face. How could she still stay in the Liang family after humiliating her so much, so my sister and I helped my aunt out of the Liang family overnight. You don't know, those days were really difficult. My aunt was alone. Where can a weak woman go, if it is not because of the flesh and blood in her stomach, she would want to end herself with a rope."

Yang Jin heard this and said: "Fortunately, Mr. Liang still has a conscience."

Wu An sighed, "What Master Yang said is that if you don't really have a aunt in your heart, your aunt might... this time Mrs. Liang took our aunt into the mansion with great fanfare, saying that she would treat her well, but the third young master died within a few days. It's cold and hot, how can there be such a coincidence. The adults are busy outside all day, and they can't keep an eye on the affairs of the back house all the time. If we stay here, maybe... we have to run out again."

After Wu An complained about his grievances, he rolled his eyes and watched Yang Jin continue to sell miserably, "Master Yang, what you said last time can really work? As long as our aunt can seek justice for herself, I will definitely do what you said."

Yang Jin waved his hand, "I'm not helping your aunt, I'm helping myself. I have old grievances with Mrs. Liang, and we are just victims. I found out something about Mrs. Liang's brother-in-law, Li Muyan. Li Muyan's sister married Luo Shaodeng , do you know who Luo Shaoden is?"

Wu An shook his head, he didn't know so many noble people, he was just a child.

"You don't know Luo Shaodeng, but you must know Luo Shaodeng's aunt, who is Princess Pingjing."

Wu An's face turned pale, he didn't expect such a relationship behind Madam Liang.

Seeing Wu An's expression, Yang Jin added, "This time the presiding judge of Wu Daohong's injury is the son of Princess Pingjing County, so it may not be easy for you to seek justice."

Wu An's complexion was pale, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit of aggrieved anger, "Master Yang, is there no other way? If our aunt had no other way, how could she be a concubine, and now she is being murdered by Mrs. Liang? Seek justice."

"I'll show you a way, but I'll just say this once, you decide whether to do it or not." Yang Jin said with a helpless look.

When Wu An saw that there was a door, he immediately bowed and bowed, "Master Yang, you are really a good person, please give me some advice."

"For the sake of the same degenerate people in Tianya." Yang Jin sighed, "Even if Mrs. Liang collapses, your aunt will not be able to straighten her upright, but if Mrs. Liang does not fall, your aunt and the two young masters may die. Me and Liang The family's grievances are endless, we have the same goal, so let's call it an alliance for the time being. My side suffers from no justifiable reason to attack, if you can make things bigger on your side, that would be fine. The He family is good, and the Li family is also good ass It’s not clean, and now there is only one introduction, and it depends on whether you dare to do it.”

Sure enough, Wu An hesitated, he couldn't decide on such a big matter.

Yang Jin reached out and handed him a roll of paper, "Here is the evidence. There is only one chance. If you miss this time, you don't know when the next time will come. If it doesn't work this time, I won't be able to work hard in the future. It's really too much." It's a pity. At that time, maybe I will have to leave the capital temporarily and think of other ways. But, when I come back, I don't know if your aunt can survive Mrs. Liang's tricks."

Wu An squeezed the paper in his hand and didn't dare to open it. Instead, he said in surprise, "Master Yang, are you leaving Beijing?"

Yang Jin sighed helplessly, "There's nothing I can do about it. I don't have a legitimate reason to attack the Liang family. I can't tear this hole open. Even if I have strength, I have nowhere to use it. I can only go out to borrow strength. Can I use it as an excuse?" .”

"Then when will you leave?" Wu An asked a little uneasy, what would they do if Master Yang left?
Mrs. Liang has already sent someone again, and the threat in the words is very obvious. It is not an option to go on like this, and my aunt may not be able to resist it all the time.

Besides, it's not a good reputation to be a concubine. These ladies in the capital don't hate concierges. My aunt is really like a rat on the street now, it's too difficult.

If this life-saving straw is gone now, they will be even more helpless.

"It's three days soon, I still have some things to do, and I have to leave after the Lantern Festival at the latest." Yang Jin threw down these words and cupped his hands at Wu An, "Little brother, take care."

"Hey, Master Yang, wait!" Wu An was anxious and wanted to catch up.

Yang Jin turned out from the alley, immediately entered the crowd, and disappeared in an instant. Wu An couldn't catch up, so he couldn't help stomping his feet and walking back.

Yang Jin walked into the ready-to-wear shop across the street, hurried into the back hall, changed his clothes, and washed off the camouflage on his face.

Sun Xiang, the shopkeeper, followed in and asked in a low voice, "Master Yang, how are things going?"

"It's almost there." Yang Jin wiped his face clean and looked at Sun Xiang, "In the past two days, you should keep an eye on it and ask someone to light it up. It must be burnt up, and you will shiver at the end."

"Yes, Lord Yang, don't worry, my wife and Aunt Qiao have a good relationship, let her go when the time comes." Sun Xiang said on Li Ke's desk.

Yang Jin tidied up and looked at Sun Xiang, "At the latest after the Shangyuan Festival, this matter will have to start a fight. If Mrs. Qiao doesn't have the guts to refuse to do it, you can send someone to the yamen to submit a pleading paper in her name. Make sure to make a big fuss, and it’s best if everyone knows about it.”

Sun Xiang hurriedly nodded in response, watching Yang Jin leave in a hurry, he was slightly relieved, after staring at him for so long, he was finally about to close the net.

After sending Yang Jin away, Sun Xiang immediately went to the backyard to meet his wife. This matter is no small matter. They have been busy for several months since the prince of Duke Qi was injured.

Sun Xiang's wife, Mrs. Zhang, listened to her husband's words, put down the clothes in hand, and immediately said: "Aunt Qiao ordered some clothes from us two days ago, how about I personally deliver them to the door this afternoon?"

Sun Xiang thought for a while and then nodded, "It's fine, but don't talk too much, say what you should say, and don't say a word that shouldn't be said, if it spoils His Highness's important affairs, you and I can't bear it and walk around."

Naturally, Mrs. Zhang didn't dare to be disrespectful, but she still muttered, "This princess hasn't passed the door yet, and His Royal Highness is busy with her affairs. If she passes the door, how will she be spoiled?"

"Shut up!" Sun Xiang's face changed with fright, "You can say that too?"

Mrs. Zhang was taken aback by her husband's expression, and hurriedly said, "It's not that I dare to say that only when you are here."

"What do you know?" Sun Xiang scolded, "Wu Qianhu is standing behind Commander Liang, who is behind Commander Liang?"

Mrs. Zhang pursed her lips, and muttered, "Who knows, they say it's the Li family, but I don't think so. If it's the Li family, so many things have happened to the Liang family these days, why don't the Li family come forward?"

"A woman's opinion!" Sun Xiang lowered his voice, "There is a Concubine Li who left home, and Concubine Li gave birth to Her Royal Highness, Prince Xiang. A commander can lead a concubine and a prince? This is too embarrassing, but I want to beautiful."

Mrs. Zhang didn't understand, "Then what are we busy with?"

"You don't care what to do, do what you have to do well, and when things are done, His Highness will reward you with money, and you can buy the shop you met last time."

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she no longer struggled, and smiled all over her face, "That's right, I'll go in the afternoon. Speaking of which, Aunt Qiao is a poor person, and her fate is not very good."

Sun Xiang didn't think so, "If it's really a good girl, can she conceive before marriage?"

Zhang: ...

"What do you know? If Mrs. Liang hadn't promised her something at the beginning, she could get out with Mr. Liang?"

"It's hard to say. What if Auntie Qiao wants Madam Liang's position and she has the heart to plot against Mrs. Liang, but Madam Liang sees it through?"

It's really hard to say.

Mrs. Zhang waved her hand, "No matter what, the child is always innocent. The third young master burned it. I was scared when I saw it. I was afraid that my life would really be lost. Mrs. Liang is too cruel."

Sun Xiang sneered, but he didn't say anything after all. He only told his wife, "Be careful this afternoon, don't be caught by others, and do your own thing well."

"I see." Mrs. Zhang agreed to her husband, and began to find out the clothes ordered by Aunt Qiao, and looked through them carefully. There were no defects, so she carefully wrapped them up.

The whole family depended on His Highness for food, so naturally they had to do things for His Highness, and the most important thing was to do the errands well.

On the other side, Aunt Qiao listened to Wu An's words, even after giving birth to two children, there was still a trace of ruthlessness on her delicate and beautiful face, and the veins in her hand holding the handkerchief were exposed, and she said after a while: "What is the origin of that Master Yang?" , have you heard it?"

Wu An shook his head, "The little one didn't find out, but the little one did see him attack the steward next to Mrs. Liang for a while, so it shouldn't be fake."

"Did he let you see it, or did you bump into it yourself?"

"I bumped into it by myself. That Master Yang wanted to inquire about the news from the steward. I just happened to see it when I was out shopping. If it wasn't for that chance encounter, the third young master's illness would not have asked for it." on his head."

Aunt Qiao took a deep breath, rubbed her forehead and said, "Wu An, the ones I trust most now are you and your sister. I can't trust anyone else. When I get better, you brothers and sisters will follow suit. If I'm not good, you guys Brothers and sisters will also be unlucky. This time, you have to do well, and there must be no mistakes."

"Auntie, have you decided?"

When Wu An asked, Aunt Qiao looked at the ball of paper on the table and hesitated again, "Let me think about it again, it's a big deal after all, I don't know if it will affect the master."

"Why don't I go to the Liang Manor to inquire about Xiao Xiao?"

"Don't go." Aunt Qiao shook her head, "They all know that you are someone close to me, and if you go, you can only bring shame on yourself."

Wu An's eyes turned red when he heard what his aunt said, "It's nothing for a villain to suffer a little humiliation, as long as it can help my aunt, I'll go and find out. Even if what Master Yang said is true, he can't understand it all in one go." Listen to him."

Aunt Qiao couldn't stop Wu An, so she told him, "You go to the long-term follower next to the master, he has some affection with you, and he should be able to find out something."

"Yes, I'll go right away, Auntie, wait for the good news." Wu An left in a hurry.

Chunying came in with tea, and happened to walk across from her elder brother. The two siblings looked at each other, and Wu An left without stopping.

Chunying came in and put the tea on the table, said with a smile: "Auntie, drink some tea to moisten your mouth, the third young master is fine now, the master said to come over tonight, please be happy."

Aunt Qiao looked at Chunying and sighed quietly, "Chunying, I'm very upset, I only have the master's favor, but if Mrs. Tai insists on taking the child back with the help of Mrs. Liang, what can I do?"

As soon as Aunt Qiao went back to fight Liang Shi this time, she knew that this one was not easy to fool. Not only was she not easy to fool, but she was afraid that she would not be able to fight her head-on.

Chunying persuaded: "Auntie, how many years have you been in love with the master, this time you moved out as soon as you said, didn't the master not stop you? Madam Tai may not reach out to take care of it, Madam Tai But I am ashamed of you. Besides, the third young master has an inexplicable cold and high fever this time, and this servant feels that Mrs. Tai must have some suspicions in her heart."

Aunt Qiao's heart was not as relaxed as Chun Ying said, she knew that the matter was more serious than she imagined, and she didn't expect Mrs. Liang to be so difficult.

Seeing Auntie's dull expression, Chunying didn't know how to persuade her. She knew that Auntie wanted to go back to Liang's Mansion, but she didn't really just want to be an Auntie.

It's just... Chunying didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"By the way, Auntie, Mrs. Zhang from the tailor shop is coming to give you clothes this afternoon. The few clothes you ordered last time are ready." Chunying finally remembered a happy event and said.

Aunt Qiao also smiled when she heard the words, "It's done so quickly? Mrs. Zhang really has a heart."

Chunying said disapprovingly: "You don't care about your affairs. How many clothes do you order a year from Mrs. Zhang? Naturally, it's too late for her to curry favor with you."

Aunt Qiao was amused, "Don't be poor, bring people in when they come."

"Hey." Chunying agreed with a smile, "Auntie, why don't you go and rest for a while?"

Aunt Qiao didn't feel sleepy either, she was restless, she simply stood up and said, "I'll go and see the child, you go and get busy."

Chunying responded with a smile, she also had a lot of things on hand, this time she came out of the Liang Mansion, the cages they brought into the mansion were still less than half of them brought back, and many things were out of hand. She is also busy running around.

When Mrs. Zhang came to the door, Chun Ying had just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the little girl talk about the arrival of someone. Remembering her aunt's attitude towards Mrs. Zhang, she welcomed him in, "Our aunt is looking forward to Mrs. Zhang."

Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Mrs. Qiao...is Auntie in good health?"

In the past, when Aunt Qiao didn't return to the Liang Mansion, she always called herself Mrs. Qiao outside. At that time, no one knew that she was a concubine. Now that her identity has been revealed, she knew when she heard Chunying call her master Auntie. I'm afraid that Mrs. Qiao still has the heart of meeting the Liang family, otherwise the title wouldn't just be changed like this.

When they entered the room, Chunying asked Mrs. Zhang to sit down, and she went in and asked Aunt Qiao to come out.

Seeing Aunt Qiao coming out, Mrs. Zhang stood up and said with a smile: "Aunt Qiao is well, I have brought the clothes you asked for, please take a look first, if you are not satisfied with anything, I will take them back and let Xiu Niang change them." Change it."

The little girl behind Mrs. Zhang immediately put a big package on the table, and then opened it lightly.

Aunt Qiao went up to look through it, and found that the embroidery was exquisite and the stitches were fine, exactly as she had requested, so she loves to go to Mrs. Zhang's to make clothes, and it really suits her heart.

"Chun Ying, serve tea."

Chunying hurriedly turned around to make tea, and put it on the high table next to Mrs. Zhang, "Mrs. Zhang drinks tea."

Mrs. Zhang nodded with a smile, took a sip of tea, and praised the tea several times, coaxing Aunt Qiao to smile, and then said casually, "Is Aunt coming back to stay for a few days? When the clothes are made, will they actually be sent to the Liang Mansion?"

After hearing Mrs. Zhang's words, Aunt Qiao's expression was a little unnatural.

Chunying at the side saw it and immediately said: "Mrs. Zhang doesn't know something. Our aunt won't be going back for a while, and she just went back to live for a few days. The third young master got a cold and high fever, and almost lost his life there."

"Chunying!" Aunt Qiao reprimanded Chunying.

"Auntie, this servant is telling the truth, there is nothing you can't say, you are thinking of Mrs. Liang, but this servant cannot watch you being bullied."

Mrs. Zhang changed her mind when she heard these words, and immediately put on a look of righteous indignation, "How could the third young master... be better now?"

"The high fever has subsided, but the body is still very weak and needs to be taken care of." Chunying said sadly.

Mrs. Zhang sighed, "I really didn't expect this. I heard that Mrs. Liang is not very temperamental and I thought it was a lie. How could I know..."

Aunt Qiao's eyes flickered, she looked at Mrs. Zhang and asked, "Where did Mrs. Zhang hear these words? I have never heard of them."

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly made a gaffe, and said with some annoyance: "I'm too familiar with you, Aunt Qiao, so I accidentally said this. We are in business, and we can't tell people behind their backs. If word spreads, can we still do business?"

Chun Ying seemed to have noticed something, and immediately chimed in and said: "Mrs. Zhang, you also said that you have a close relationship with our aunt. Now that you have said it, you can talk to our aunt when the time comes, so that our aunt won't do anything wrong." I know, I returned home happily, but in the end I almost got the third young master in."

Mrs. Zhang made a look of embarrassment, and after Chunying persuaded her again and again, she said in a low voice: "Aunt Qiao, you know that we are open for business, and people come and go, and some customers don't shy away from us too much when they talk. I also heard people say that Mrs. Liang was not on good terms with her younger sister when she was in her natal family, so after Mrs. Liang's younger sister married the young master of the Li family, the two sisters also had a bad quarrel. Didn't you hear that the Liang family and the Li family don't have much contact when you return to the Liang mansion?"

Aunt Qiao heard some rumors, but she didn't know the specific reason. She pretended to know something inside, looked at Mrs. Zhang and said, "You know I don't know much about these things, I just know something vaguely."

Mrs. Zhang put on a relaxed look, "So my aunt knows, so I don't have to worry about it. If the Liang family had let the second girl marry, maybe my aunt would have returned to Liang's mansion by now. I heard that the second girl of Liang It’s more generous than Mrs. Liang.”

what?
Aunt Qiao was shocked in her heart, she tried her best to suppress her thoughts, looked at Mrs. Zhang and asked casually: "Seniors are orderly, how could the second girl of Liang marry before her elder sister, isn't it against the rules?"

"Aunt Qiao, you don't know now. I heard that Mrs. Liang should be the one who was engaged to the Li family at the beginning, and the second girl Liang should have entered the door of the Liang family. It was Mrs. Liang who changed the marriage, so the sisters were not on good terms. Turned into a vengeful."

Aunt Qiao's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Mrs. Zhang, are you telling the truth?"

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly waved her hands, "Oh, Aunt Qiao, I also heard this behind someone's back. I dare not tell whether it is true or not. Just listen to it. Don't take it seriously."
