Chapter 85
"Maybe it just went in a hurry to seek protection from its owner," He Lingjiang whispered.

Sun Rujin's eyes widened involuntarily: "It's so!"

When weak animals are injured or bullied, they will always complain to their owners and seek shelter and comfort.

The black cat was just beginning to develop his intelligence, and he was no different from a child in his mind. It was naturally justifiable to do this subconsciously.

"I knew, Ling Jiang, that you watched the black cat rush towards Concubine Zhao, but didn't move. It must have been planned. If you think about it, you are trying to test her. But, unfortunately, it was killed by Sun Fei's sword. ."

He Lingjiang frowned slightly: "It is a monster after all. Even if it is injured, it is not easy for ordinary people to kill it with a sword. Behind this, I am afraid that there is the pusher of the concubine Zhao."

Sun Rujin fell silent when she heard the words. For a moment, she didn't know whether to hate the cat that harmed A-Niang, or to sigh that it paid her loyalty in vain.

Besides, He Zheng, after receiving He Lingjiang's instructions, he immediately ordered his subordinates to wait outside Sun's residence, while he was staring at the concubine Zhao in the dark.

In the early hours of the morning, Concubine Zhao, who lived in the front yard with Master Sun, quietly got up.

She leaned over to Sun Jiuxi who was lying on the couch, stretched out her hand to probe in front of his eyes, and called out in a soft voice, "Lord, lord?"

Sun Jiuxi on the couch breathed slowly, and there was a faint snoring coming from the tip of his nose.

Concubine Zhao saw that he was sleeping soundly, and waited for dozens of breaths before quietly opening the door to go out.

Sun Jiuxi, who was already asleep, slowly opened his eyes and looked at her figure, his eyes slightly darkened.

Concubine Zhao went out of the room, avoided the guards and summoned a bird in a remote place, then took a note from her sleeve and put it on the bird's leg, and let it out of the house.

After all this was done, she turned around and went back to the room. Seeing that Sun Jiuxi on the couch had no idea, she quietly lay back beside him.

He Zheng, who was staring at her in the dark, ordered the people outside the mansion to follow the bird secretly, while he continued to watch her every move.

Queer left Sun Mansion and flew all the way to the west of the city.

There were mostly merchants and pawns who lived there, and it was the place where fish and dragons were mixed.

He Zheng's men followed, only to see Que'er lingering and resting in an empty old house.

The two waited until noon, but no one came, and they were worried that they would startle the bird and the snake, so they had to stay there and continue to stare.

He Zheng handed the news from outside the mansion to He Lingjiang. After she heard it, her eyes narrowed slightly. It seemed that there were accomplices behind this concubine Zhao.

Just like the black cat who was bullied and injured, she is now being targeted by herself, and she must be uneasy in her heart, and she wants to find someone to come up with an idea.

The muddy waters of the Sun family are not shallow.

She put away the note in her hand and asked, "Qingzhu, last night someone went to check on that concubine Zhao, is there any news?"

"Hui Qi Niangzi, the maid is about to tell you." Qingzhu immediately followed the news that came to him.

This concubine Zhao was originally called Zhao Liniang, who was once a popular singer in Linchuan County, with a melodious voice.

However, she is different from the women in Fengyue. She only tunes and sings in restaurants and teahouses. She never teases and plays with guests. She only earns money for her singing voice and singing skills.

Last spring, Duke Liu, the governor of the county, held a banquet in the mansion and invited Zhao Liniang to sing a few songs.

During the banquet, there were dissolute children who made speeches to tease and bully her, and they even meant to pull.Zhao Liniang refused to follow and poured the drink on the man's face.

He Lingjiang raised his eyebrows: "So, she is a strong woman. What about later?"

Qingzhu continued: "That rambunctious child was furious and refused to forgive her. Sun Juncheng couldn't see it, so he took action to protect her."

"So, a relationship was achieved?"

Qingzhu nodded: "After the banquet was over, Zhao Liniang, who was outside the county governor's mansion, stopped Sun Juncheng and asked herself to be his concubine. At that time, people from the county governor's mansion came and went, which made people look good and lively."

"Sun Juncheng didn't intend to take a concubine, so he naturally declined. But Zhao Liniang said that she has offended the rich child today, and if she can't find Sun Gong's protection, the future will be difficult. The guardian is a gentleman of Langlang, worthy of entrustment."

"Such a beautiful little lady asked herself to be entrusted to her for life, and the people watching on the side also spoke out, but Sun Juncheng couldn't refuse, so she had to accept her as a concubine."

He Lingjiang sneered, noncommittal, and then asked, "Is this concubine Zhao from Linchuan?"

"No. She only came to our Linchuan County in the early spring of last year, but in just one month, with the song "Qing Ping Le", it spread all over the world and became a huge hit."

He Lingjiang nodded.

This concubine Zhao, who suddenly appeared in Linchuan County, was able to control the black cat, and she was also able to master some mysterious arts.

Will such a person be reduced to making a living as a singer?Will he be so weak that he needs protection?
On that day, she went to Sun Juncheng to ask herself to be her concubine, fearing that she was also plotting.

I just don't know, what else is there worth planning in this Sun family?
Black cat, Xuanshi.

She narrowed her eyes slightly: "Please send someone to the pavilion to prepare tea, and said that we want to ask Concubine Zhao to cook tea together."

Sun Rujin looked at He Lingjiang who was sitting quietly in the pavilion and was making tea, and asked, "Lingjiang, do you think that concubine Zhao will really come here? She clearly knows that we are already suspicious of her."

He Lingjiang tilted his hand slightly and poured hot tea into the teacup. Hearing this, he lowered his eyes and said, "She will come."

She is only suspicious at the moment, and she has no evidence in her hands. Even if she says it, everyone in the Sun residence will not believe it.

Concubine Zhao is also well aware of this.

The fourth lady of the Sun family invited her to tea with the seventh lady of the He family. She was a concubine, so how could she refuse?The excuses didn't come, but instead fell down.

Of course she will come.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the concubine Zhao walking up alone.

He Lingjiang lowered his eyes, took an empty cup, and rubbed it in his hand.

Concubine Zhao walked along the steps and was about to enter the pavilion, but saw a tea cup coming towards her.

Her eyes tightened, and her feet suddenly froze, as if she didn't know how to react for a while.

Seeing that the tea cup that came quickly was about to hit her in the face, Concubine Zhao closed her eyes subconsciously, but the empty cup shattered into two pieces and fell to the ground with a bang.

He Lingjiang's tone carried a bit of inadvertent apology: "My hand slipped, and I almost accidentally hurt Concubine Zhao. I'm really sorry."

Concubine Zhao looked at the fragments under her feet and pulled out a smile: "It's okay. He Qiniang will be more careful next time."

"Zhao concubine is quite a bit fearless in the face of danger, which makes people admire."

Concubine Zhao smiled, raised her skirt and sat down: "I was just frightened, I didn't have time to react."

This cup is a small test, and it is also a show of power. The two of them knew each other well, but neither of them said anything. They only smiled and chatted with each other.

Sun Rujin, who was on the side, looked at it and said that this concubine Zhao was cunning.

He Lingjiang poured a cup of tea leisurely, and said, "Today, I saw a bird in the house, but it's a little cute. I sent someone to catch it, but I didn't expect it to fly to a deserted empty house in the west of the city. Concubine Zhao, have you ever heard of this house?"

Concubine Zhao's brows lightly moved, and then she smiled slowly: "The concubine rarely leaves the house, and she doesn't know much about the houses in the market. He Qi Niangzi is afraid that she is asking the wrong person."

He Lingjiang took a sip of tea: "Yes, I asked more."
