Chapter 949: Retribution for Too Much Sin

"Are you sure it's clean?"

Fang Mengfu: "Your Majesty, please rest assured."

"Okay, then you should quickly arrange for people to investigate these matters, and get to the bottom of them as quickly as possible."

An Lan couldn't help laughing when she saw Su Yixin holding up her head to draw.

"Madam, if you can't think of it, forget it. Anyway, there are enough clothes in the shop. If it really doesn't work, you can give the embroiderer the pattern of clothes sold elsewhere."

Su Yixin shook her head: "That won't work. Although the possibility of clothes from various prefectures and cities colliding with clothes from Kyoto is very small, if some ladies buy clothes just to honor the nobles in Kyoto, there is still a risk of colliding with clothes, which will ruin the reputation of our clothing store."

"But Madam has been sitting here for a long time and still can't figure it out!"

"What can I do?"

After so many years, the knowledge in her brain had run out one day. It wasn't like she really had the talent for it, but she knew and saw more than them, so she could draw these unique things.

"It's been a while since we went out for a stroll. Anlan, let's go for a walk."

Su Yixin didn't bring anyone else with her and went to the street with An Lan. They went there on foot just to watch the people coming and going on the street and the clothes the women wore to get some inspiration.

"Ma'am, slow down."

Not far ahead, a man helped a woman get off the carriage.

The woman was not young, perhaps thirty-five or thirty-six, and the man looked to be around forty.

What attracted people's attention was that the woman was so old and still had a big belly, no wonder the man was so nervous.

At this moment, Su Yixin felt the blood jade vibrate slightly.

"It's him."

Qiaoyu said, "It's Lu Jiayu."

Lu Jiayu...

Su Yixin said, "Oh, I haven't seen him for a long time."

At this time, Lu Jiayu also looked over and helped his wife to bow to Su Yixin: "What a coincidence, I meet Princess Rui'an. Oh, let me introduce you, this is Princess Rui'an, and this is your wife, Tang."

"Lord Lu is too polite. Madam seems to be in good spirits."

Tang smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Princess."

"Is the princess coming here to eat?"

Su Yixin nodded: "You too?"

"That's such a coincidence."

Thinking of Qiaoyu, Su Yixin said, "It looks quite lively inside, I wonder if there are any seats left."

Tang said, "We have reserved a private room in advance. If the princess doesn't mind, we can come together."

"Well, thank you very much!"

Su Yixin followed them to the private room on the second floor. The two seemed to be very familiar with the restaurant. Even though the waiter didn't make any recommendations, they knew what the restaurant's signature dishes were.

"Princess, see if there are any dishes you like."

Su Yixin took the menu, ordered two dishes, and handed it to the waiter.

Lu Jiayu said, "I have been working outside for many years and only returned to Beijing last month. I haven't seen the princess for many years."

"fifteen years."

Su Yixin said: "That time I had dinner at the Lu family was fifteen years ago."

"The princess has a good memory!"

Lu Jiayu was surprised that Su Yixin remembered it so clearly.

It’s not that she has such a good memory, but since it involves Qiaoyu, she had specially investigated him at the time, so naturally she remembers it particularly clearly.

After that investigation, Lu Jiayu and his father Lu Gang were ruled out as suspects. Soon afterward, the father and son of the Lu family were successively sent to serve as officials in other places. After more than ten years of ups and downs, she was not sure what official positions they held after returning to Beijing.

Tang was unable to get a word in.

Su Yixin noticed it, so she turned the topic to Tang: "Madam's belly looks like it's six or seven months pregnant."

Tang nodded: "It's been more than seven months. I used to have a good appetite, but recently I don't know why I can't eat anymore. That's why my husband takes me out to eat every now and then. Surprisingly, the food in this restaurant suits my taste."

Su Yixin accidentally glanced at Tang's face and her eyes dimmed slightly.

"How long has this been going on, ma'am?"

"Ah?" Su Yixin said, "I just have a poor appetite. How long has this been going on?"

Tang touched her belly gently and said, "It's been more than half a month. Not only has my appetite been poor, but the baby doesn't move as much as before. But the doctor said the baby is fine. Maybe it's just this hot summer day, and the baby is too lazy to move in my belly."

Su Yixin smiled and said, "It's really hot today."

Su Yixin glanced at Lu Jiayu and said nothing, but her eyes gave a hint. Lu Jiayu was an official in the court, so he could still understand the hint.

After lunch, Su Yixin took An Lan to Yishangfang.

The palace is going to hold a flower-viewing banquet soon, and the ladies who are going to attend the banquet are flocking to Yishangfang to choose clothes. This is why Su Yixin is having a headache drawing there.

These clothes are selling so fast that if we don't find a supplier, they will be out of stock.

"Madam, come out for a while. Do you have any inspiration?"

"There are some."

But not much!
I'll go back and describe it to Gu Qingjue and see if he can perform beyond his normal level and design a few sets to deal with the emergency.

Thinking of this, an idea suddenly popped into Su Yixin's mind.

After all, a person's inspiration is limited. She can just solicit submissions and then pay those people design fees.

Su Yixin did it right away. She asked An Lan and Dai Feihe to do it.

An Lan cleared her throat and said to Su Yixin: “Madam, I think this servant can do it alone, so there is no need to worry about the housekeeper.”

"Hmm? You really can?"

An Lan: “I can.”

"Okay, hurry up on this matter."

When I returned to the mansion at about 3 p.m., Dai Feihe came over and said that Lord Lu had arrived.

It should be Lu Jiayu.

It came quite quickly!

"The princess!"

"I have something to say to Lord Lu, you all go down."

After everyone went down, Lu Jiayu asked anxiously: "Princess, is there something wrong with the fetus in my wife's house?"

Su Yixin nodded.

"When I was at the restaurant, I accidentally glimpsed your wife's face. Her palace of children was dark, and the fetus in her belly was in danger."

Lu Jiayu stood up suddenly and said, "How could it be? Six months later, I asked the doctor to check my pulse almost every seven days, but he didn't find anything abnormal!"

"This is something that a doctor cannot diagnose."

Lu Jiayu fell back into his chair.

A grown man, his face full of fear and worry.

He knew that Princess Rui'an was a hermit and a magician, and the thing in her arms was obviously not a human.

"Is there still hope?"

"Have."

Su Yixin's one word instantly filled Lu Jiayu's eyes with light.

"Tell me how to save them, and I will fully cooperate. If Madam and the child are safe, the Lu family will be grateful to the princess."

Lu Jiayu stood up and bowed solemnly to Su Yixin.

"Anlan, pen and ink."

There was an emergency pen and ink placed behind the flower hall. An Lan went to get it. Su Yixin quickly wrote on a piece of paper, "You must prepare these things before the 15th. I will go to your house to perform a ritual on that day."

"Okay, I'll do it right away."

Back in the yard, Su Yixin opened the blood jade, and Qiaoyu flew out, her ghost eyes red: "Why did you help him? His wife had this experience, maybe it was the retribution for the Lu family's many sins."

"Qiaoyu, when we investigated the Lu family, we couldn't conclude that they were the ones who killed you. Now that I've seen this, I can't pretend I didn't see it."

Su Yixin said: "Don't worry, I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."

Su Yixin took out the sound transmission talisman and sent a message to Shi En who was traveling outside, asking him to go to the demon world and tell Luo Wushang to come to Kyoto if there was nothing going on in the demon world.

Back then, Luo Wushang used the soul-calling technique, but because of his limited demonic power, he could not awaken many memories. Now that he is the Demon King, he may be able to restore Qiao Yu's memories.
