The princess is beautiful and Ziye

Chapter 102 Aunt Wang

Wang Rongyue and Xie Tinglan were talking and laughing as they walked along the path by the lake, but halfway through the conversation, Wang Rongyue's smile suddenly froze on her face.

She didn't know what she saw, but her expression suddenly became flustered and embarrassed, and she immediately grabbed Xie Tinglan's arm.

"Tinglan, let's go that way. There are too many trees here, and it's so cold without the sun." Wang Rongyue was asking for advice, but Wang Rongyue still dragged Xie Tinglan to leave here.

Xie Tinglan couldn't help being curious, turned her head and looked over there, Wang Rongyue was still trying to cover up, trying to pull her away, but didn't know that the person had actually come over.

"Yueyue, Yueyue, why did you see me running? Are you really so cruel that you don't care about your aunt at all!"

The woman who came over was well-dressed, and she could still see a little resemblance to Wang Rongyue from her eyebrows.

Xie Tinglan's eyes flickered, and he silently took a step back so that Wang Rongyue could meet the eyes of this woman who appeared out of nowhere.

Wang Rongyue's face turned pale, and she said helplessly, "Aunt...you, why are you following me again? I've already told you that I really can't help you..."

"Yueyue, if you don't help Auntie, Auntie will end up on the street. Auntie bought you so many clothes and jewelry before, you can't take revenge for your kindness."

The woman's behavior was not considered mean, but there was always a sense of persecution in her words, which made people feel uncomfortable.

There was faint sympathy in Wang Rongyue's eyes, but after a while, she still rejected the woman righteously: "Auntie, I really can't take you to Qingzhou Mansion. I'm not the daughter of my uncle and aunt, so I'm not qualified to share with you." I don't agree with you to live in it. And...and..."

In the middle of Wang Rongyue's speech, she seemed to realize that Xie Tinglan was also here, so she stopped what she was saying in time, and stepped forward to pull the woman away.

"Auntie, let's not come here, come with me, let's go over there and talk."

The woman glanced at Xie Tinglan, and asked curiously: "This girl is well dressed and knows Yueyue, is she the prefect's daughter?"

Wang Rongyue didn't allow her to continue, and she just dragged her away. While apologizing to Xie Tinglan, her maid followed her master to the other side.

After people walked away, Yu Xiucai said softly: "Miss Wang is too kind-hearted, she will cause trouble sooner or later. Her aunt is difficult to deal with at first sight."

Xie Tinglan didn't speak, but looked away, and went into the nearby pavilion to wait for Wang Rongyue.

After half a quarter of an hour, she came back alone. Xie Tinglan looked behind her and saw her maid helping the woman away.

Wang Rongyue sat down opposite her with an ugly face, and pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying, "Let Tinglan see a joke. I don't know, but my aunt came with me."

"I haven't heard you mention her." Xie Tinglan said.

"She is my mother's younger sister. After my mother passed away, she often came to visit me at the house, and she was very kind to me. A few years ago, my grandparents' family fell into poverty, and my aunt did not have children for many years after she got married. The family divorced her out of the house. Later, my aunt came to join my father, and my father found her a temporary place to live in Qingzhou."

The more Yuxiu listened to it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't help but interjected: "You father and daughter are too kind-hearted..."

Wang Rongyue understood the words that seemed emotional but actually implied deep meaning, and laughed at herself, "After all, we are a family, and my father and I just wanted to help if we could. Who knows... my aunt did nothing in those years. I have always relied on my father. Now that my father has passed away, the Wang family has fallen into the hands of my uncle and aunt, and her house has also been taken back..."

Xie Tinglan was quietly listening, and after Wang Rongyue finished speaking, she said: "Since it's your family business, it's not convenient for me to talk, you can think about it yourself."

"Well. I won't let her go to Qingzhou Mansion. I asked Bixi to send her to her residence first. I will see if there is any suitable work for her in the city in a few days."

After something like this happened, the two of them didn't have the intention to continue walking. Shen Jiu sent word that Wei Yuanshan had returned, and Xie Tinglan and Wang Rongyue went back home.

After returning to the mansion, Shen Jiu came in to report back. According to Xie Tinglan's instructions, he followed Wei Yuanshan and found Shuyu's residence.

"After Ms. Wei left, my subordinates inquired with the residents living around her. They all said that she was very withdrawn on weekdays. Except for the embroidery workshop where she worked and her home, she could hardly be seen going to other places..." Shen Jiu told Xie Tinglan everything he could ask, and wrote Shuyu's address on a piece of paper and handed it to Xie Tinglan.

While Xie Tinglan was looking at the address on the paper, Shen Jiu suddenly thought of another thing: "By the way, Miss, this subordinate is still outside his residence today, and heard Miss Wei talking to him. It seems to be saying, no Let her go to 'that kind of place' again, it seems to be the embroidery workshop where he works, and finally it is specially supplied to Huajie Liuxiang."

Xie Tinglan put down the paper in his hand, thought for a while and said, "Shen Jiu, where are you talking about, the easiest place to find news?"

Shen Jiu understood, and immediately said: "Naturally, it is a place where three religions and nine streams gather, teahouses, restaurants... and brothels."

"This person is not simple. Ask Yier to scout in Rehe to see if there is someone named Shuyu."

"Yes." Shen Jiu paused, "This subordinate is still near Shuyu's residence today, and saw someone from His Highness the Crown Prince. He should have seen his subordinate..."

"It doesn't matter. If he can find out before me, it's his ability." Xie Tinglan said.

"Is there any result about Lu Yingfu's matter one or two?"

"After the outbreak of the land enclosure case, there was no movement in the Lu family. Either because of his low official position and the pressure from the prefect of Qingzhou, he couldn't help. But in the past few days, we have made unannounced visits and asked for some clues. At the end of the disaster, In the severe months, some people secretly helped the victims, and some people in Rehe said that they were people who knew the prefecture."

Xie Tinglan asked again: "Before the enclosure case started, was the Lu family's reputation good?"

"Very good. Many people in Rehe say that he is an upright official. Even though the Lu family didn't do anything during the land enclosure case and was later exterminated, many people spontaneously worshiped in front of Zhizhou's mansion."

Xie Tinglan recalled the statement claiming that Lu Yingfu was also an accomplice in the land enclosure case, and frowned, "Depending on what case the procurator is handling, I'm afraid I'll jump to conclusions without any investigation at all... This punishment is based on the procurator... "

Shen Jiu's eyes trembled, "Miss suspects that there is something wrong with the procurator?"

"Whether he is one of the links in this line or not. It's really substandard to handle the case like this. It's not that he's dereliction of duty. It's just that he wants to do his best to blur the case. Wading in this muddy water The more people go in, the safer the master behind him will be."
