Chapter 2

The third wife hurriedly called someone to pick up the fourth wife and the lotus leaf and sent them back to the residence, which alarmed Ye Xiufeng who was resting today.Si Qing said to the people in the Ye Mansion who came afterward: "The food I was given was turbid, and the outside of the pavilion I lived in was like tofu. Your mansion picked me up to bully me on purpose?"

The housekeeper's third wife hurriedly said: "Girl, don't be angry, it's my fault, I didn't find that the bridge is wrong. Girl is wronged, go and sit with me first."

Lan Xuan from the fourth room then ran over, saw the fourth wife who was still yelling and being carried away like a drowned chicken, called mother, and rushed to Si Qing, "Why are you bullying my mother?"

Siqing dodges to dodge, Lan Xuan couldn't hold back, and almost fell into the water, but fortunately Lingzhen had a sharp eye and gave her a quick hand.

"Go and apologize to your fourth aunt!" Ye Xiufeng was furious.

Siqing said indifferently: "Apologize, she should also apologize to me. The third wife let me live in the Fuqing Hall, but she insisted on letting me live in this damp little broken house. Today she fell from this small broken house, she deserved it."

"You!" Ye Xiufeng was furious.

When Lan Xuan of the fourth bedroom was about to speak, she was stopped by the third wife.Seeing that their father and daughter seemed to have something to say, the third wife quietly led everyone away from Zhenliuzhou and went to the fourth wife.

"Since you pretended to be ill to trick me into returning to Beijing, and didn't let me leave Ye Mansion in the imperial capital, then leave me alone." Si Qing said without expression.

"I advise you to calm down a bit and abide by the boudoir precepts. How about you be careful about your adoptive father... You don't need me to say more about your adoptive father's criminal case, you know it too?"

After Siqing returned to Ye's house, Ye Xiufeng kept threatening Siqing with Siqing's adoptive father, telling Siqing to stay in Ye's house Ansheng and not to have any old contacts with Nanxing.

Siqing smiled slyly, "Okay, let's make a fuss. The whole court knows that you gave your direct daughter to the Yasukuni House, Yu Yun, and the remnants of the rebellion. Tell me, what will Chaoli do to you?"

"You!" Ye Xiufeng suddenly became dizzy and was about to fall.

"I'm really hurting, are you going to commit a crime? Don't fall here. Lingzhen, call that aunt and grandma, and help your master away!"

As soon as the words were finished, a group of gorgeous aunts and concubines came, crying and scrambling to help Ye Xiufeng up, and the leader didn't forget to scold Luo Siqing.

Siqing helped the lapis lazuli and burnt blue hairpin on her temples, and without looking at them, she turned and went into the pavilion, and closed the door forcefully with a bang.

Ling Zhen looked at her eldest lady helplessly, and sighed silently.

Ye Xiufeng originally arranged for Siqing to be a female school teacher, to teach her literary allusions, taste tea and smell fragrance, paint and play chess, but who knew that Siqing didn't care at all.She was bored in Ye's house, wandering around, did not know where to take out a small crossbow, so she played shooting willow branches in front of the Fuqing Hall, pestered her elder brother Ye Lancheng to teach her and Ling Zhen how to use the crossbow well.

Rumors quickly spread in the mansion, and Ye Xiufeng knew about it. He first scolded his eldest son Ye Lancheng, and then rushed to the gate of Zhenliuzhou to get angry and asked Siqing to return the crossbow.Siqing didn't argue with him, so she casually threw the crossbow in the pool, turned around and left.

Ye Xiufeng was furious, and ordered Siqing to move to the Fuqing Pavilion, and ordered his attendants to guard the Fuqing Pavilion, nailing all the windows on the first floor to prevent Siqing from going out.

The next night, Ye Xiufeng returned to the study. The study was pitch black, and there was no one there, and the lights were not turned on.Ye Xiufeng has been very angry these days, and shouted: "Where's the person?!"

Suddenly a candle lit up on the desk, illuminating Siqing's face, Ye Xiufeng was startled, "Why are you here?"

Siqing smiled and said: "Didn't you say that Ye Mansion is my home? Since it is my home, why can't I appear in my own home? Do you want me to disappear?"

Ye Xiufeng said: "You——how did you come out of the Fuqing Pavilion?" He obviously had someone nail down the windows of the Fuqing Pavilion, and ordered his attendants to guard the gate.

Siqing said: "What's so difficult about coming out of the Fuqing Pavilion? I have already said that I will not leave easily if you do not harm my adoptive father. You and I trade, and the price is clearly marked. There is no deception. I advise you to It’s good to abide by the boundaries. Don’t push yourself too far, or you will make me regret it, and I will make you regret it too.”

After saying that, Shi Shiran got up and walked past Ye Xiufeng. Ye Xiufeng shouted, "Where are you going!"

"Go back and rest," Siqing said, "Oh, by the way, if the windows on the first floor of the Fuqing Hall cannot be opened within an hour, you will receive an unexpected surprise when you wake up tomorrow morning."

"How dare you threaten me—"

Siqing turned around and smiled, "So what, if you don't give me a chance, how can I threaten you?"

"Don't come into my study from now on!"

"What are you guilty of?"

Siqing shook her sleeves, fluttered and went outside.

Ye Xiufeng angrily threw everything on the desk to the ground, alarming the attendants in the study, "When did you come back, old man?"

Ye Xiufeng asked, "Where did you go just now?!"

The attendant hurriedly saluted, "Just... just now, my neck was sore, and I fell asleep. It's very strange, like hitting a ghost."

Ye Xiufeng turned blue when he heard this, and waved him to back down.

Siqing had a fit of fits in the past few days, and felt much better.After dinner that day, he was bored, so he went to the West Garden of Ye Mansion alone, and saw a pair of couplets inscribed by Ye Xiufeng on the pavilion, with Ye Xiufeng's name on them.

Siqing didn't want to see anything related to Ye Xiufeng, so she pulled out a dagger from the bottom of her sleeve and chopped off Ye Xiufeng's name.She was concentrating on shaving when she suddenly heard some noises.

Siqing hurriedly shouted, "Who?"

Si Qing knew that except for the second bedroom, the Ye family had long been separated from the Ye family.The master of the third bedroom took over Zu Yin's vain job, and the master of the fourth bedroom donated money to an official.

Therefore, there are many relatives in the family, and Si Qing is unwilling to find out who this person is, so she turns around and is about to leave.

Unexpectedly, a dignified and elegant young man with a toga and long sleeves walked out of the bamboo bushes.This person has a calm complexion, and he has the bearing of Siqing's adoptive father. He is the eldest brother of Ye Lancheng's wife, Shen Shi, named Shen Jiangdong.

Shen Jiangdong attacked the Duke of Juejia and served as Jingwei.Siqing was assassinated outside the city before entering Beijing, but Shen Jiangdong happened to pass by and rescued her, so Siqing recognized him.

It was raining heavily outside the city that day, and Shen Jiangdong rescued Si Qing who was being hunted down from the haystack.

Siqing's sly eyes are not like a fox, but like a blue-eyed lion cat, with a hint of defensiveness, reminding Shen Jiangdong of the long-haired Linqing lion cat he raised when he was a child. Rub the cat's head.

"Uncle?" Siqing said, "You're here, why don't you sit in front?"

Shen Jiangdong smiled, pointed to Siqing's scratched words and asked: "May I ask Miss Ye, what does this mean?"

Siqing patted the ashes on her hand, tapped Ye Xiufeng's signature and said, "I just don't want to see these words."

Shen Jiangdong smiled and said: "So that's the case." After speaking, he asked again, "How is the imperial capital?"

Siqing smiled and said: "Dijing is not good. I was chased and killed before I entered the capital. Didn't my uncle see it? The people who chased me outside the city that day had a Lingnan accent, but they didn't admit that they were Lingnan Ding People of Nan Fan, I have never met Ding Nan Fan, and we have no enmity, have you found out who those assassins are?"

Shen Jiangdong knew in his heart that Empress He would come down to this world, and Siqing's father, Ye Xiufeng, tricked his abandoned daughter back to the imperial capital in order to let Siqing enter the palace and compete for the queen's position.

But Ye Xiufeng was not on good terms with the He family. Empress He's younger sister, He Meiren, was still in the palace. The He family definitely hoped that He Meiren could be succeeded as queen, and did not want Siqing to come to Beijing to disrupt the situation.Although the person who assassinated Si Qing outside the city spoke with a Lingnan accent, the assassin's employer was most likely He Meiren or the He family behind He Meiren.

Shen Jiangdong couldn't say clearly, so he could only vaguely say: "People who have a grudge against your father."

Siqing smiled, "Uncle, you are better at fooling people than investigating cases."

Her smile made Shen Jiangdong a little dazed, but thinking that she might be here for a later position, Shen Jiangdong silently took a step back.

Shen Jiangdong has a marriage contract since he was a child, but he and his fiancée have never been married. He is the most popular husband-in-law among the girls of the right age in the imperial capital. Even Princess Xianju once fell in love with him.Siqing was afraid of being gossiped by the three-bedroom and four-bedroom people, so she didn't want to talk to him here, and was about to leave, when Shen Jiangdong asked: "Miss Ye said that day that you grew up in the south, and your adoptive father and brothers were all in the southern province. Miss Ye Will you go back in the future?"

Thinking of Ye Xiufeng threatening her not to leave Beijing with her adoptive father, Siqing's complexion changed, and she turned her head and said, "I can't go." After finishing speaking, she patted the ashes in her hand, "Old man...he is at home today, I'm afraid he won't be here in a while." I'm here to look for you, uncle. I'll go back first."

Shen Jiangdong hesitated to speak, thought for a while and said: "Please go ahead."

When Siqing walked out of the West Garden, a velvet flower from her sideburns fell to the ground, she didn't notice, Shen Jiangdong silently picked it up.

Siqing passed by her elder brother Ye Lancheng's residence, and saw her sister-in-law Shen Huanhua had just returned from her natal family's Jiaguo Duke's mansion, leading her servants to pack up her things.

Jia Guogong Shen Jiangdong is the only son of the late Gu Ming Minister Shen Zizhou. He inherited the title of Jia Guo Duke as a young man and has a close personal relationship with Jinshang.Now Shen Jiang Dongfang has passed by and has taken up an important position. He is the most popular young relative in the court, and he is in charge of the imperial capital's garrison.

Shen Jiangdong married his younger sister Shen Huanhua to Siqing's brother Ye Lancheng, and Ye Xiufeng was quite proud of this marriage.

When Shen Huanhua saw Siqing, he called her in and said with a smile, "I'm looking for you." Then he gave Siqing the satin gauze, red gold hairpins, and piles of gauze flowers brought from her mother's house, and then gave them to her. A red feather gauze cloak, asked: "Why do you go shopping by yourself? Where is Lingzhen?"

Siqing thanked Shen Huan for the painting first, and then said with a smile: "Sister-in-law went back to her mother's house at noon and didn't see it. I played tricks on the fourth room, and Lingzhen made it up for me. Sister-in-law is busy first, I Go back and see if Ling Zhen is back."

Shen Huanhua saw that Siqing was haggard not long after she returned to the mansion, and she couldn't bear it, but she called her again and said, "I will go to Biyun Temple in Xishan on the fifth day of the lunar new year. You and I will go to Xishan to disperse." ,how?"

After hearing this, Zhan Yan smiled and said, "That's very good." Seeing that Shen Huanhua was busy cleaning up, she resigned.As soon as he resigned, a person walked out of Shen Huanhua's pavilion. It was Shen Jiangdong who had just talked to Siqing.

"Brother, sit down first, and wait for me to put things away." Shen Huan said.

Shen Jiangdong smiled and said: "Your sister has evil spirits on you, it seems difficult to get along with you."

"Who said that Sister Siqing is the best, she speaks more sharply, and she doesn't hide evil in her heart. When she came back, the fourth bedroom choked so much that she couldn't speak."

"She has only been back to Beijing for a few days, how do you know that she is not hiding traitors? It's better to stay away."

Shen Huanhua sighed: "Sister Siqing is not easy, you don't know what my father-in-law is planning?"
