After the fake daughter of the Hou Mansion returned to the village, she made a lot of money

Chapter 19 The truth (3)
After leaving the palace and returning to the Hou's Mansion, Shen Nanyun couldn't sit still, the more she thought about it, the more worried she became.

She remembered Master Wang that Princess Anning said, and decided to go to the carpenter's shop to have a look.

Master Wang's shop is very famous, and Shen Nanyun found it after a little searching.

The person who received her was Master Wang's apprentice. Seeing Shen Nanyun asking about the blueprints in a roundabout way, she thought that she, like those who came before, wanted to ask if the blueprints could be sold. After all, the blueprints of the first waterwheel were also collected. of value.

Then he said, "Girl, my master said that this blueprint is very precious, so please return it."

Shen Nanyun still did not give up, "Does your master really have a complete blueprint?"

"It can still be fake. I personally handed over the blueprint to the master."

Shen Nanyun bit her lip, turned and left.

And a person walked towards the carpenter's shop with her, "County Shen..." But the other person seemed to be worried and didn't hear him. When he was about to call again, Shen Nanyun had already gone far away.

The little apprentice looked at the person who came, "You also want to see the blueprint?"

The man smiled and said, "Just tell your master, as long as he comes out of the mountain to help guide this time, I will honor him with the best pear blossom stuffing."

Little apprentice: "Just a moment."

On the other hand, after returning to the mansion, Shen Nanyun couldn't eat because she was afraid that Yun Qingyin would really reveal the matter of the waterwheel.

Looking at the hot weather outside, Shen Nanyun asked the servant girl, "Is my father back?"

"Master Hou has just returned to the mansion, so he probably just prepared to eat."

Shen Nanyun got up and went to the main courtyard of the Hou Mansion.

Zhongyong Hou recently had a smile on his face, walking around in the palace, when all the adults met, they would all say congratulations, and many people even asked Shen Nanyun about his engagement.

There are hundreds of daughters in a family, and as a father, there is nothing more proud of than this.

"Father, mother."

"Yun'er is here, sit down."

Zhongyonghou asked concerned, "Are you tired from going to the Ministry of Industry recently?"

"I'm not tired." Shen Nanyun said with a smile, "The adults in the Ministry of Industry are all skilled craftsmen. In front of them, this little thing of mine is like an ax in class."

"Well, it's a good thing to know how to be modest, but you still have to be extremely careful when you walk around in the palace. When you meet the prince or princess, you must not argue with them."

Shen Nanyun smiled slightly, "Did father hear about the matter between me and Princess Anning?"

Zhongyonghou nodded, "The palace is a place where the wind can't be hidden, and the slightest turmoil will spread out. Princess Anning has been arrogant since she was a child. After all, she and the prince are from the same family. It is always right for you to be cautious, but if it is really her No mistake, I will never let you be wronged."

Shen Nanyun nodded slightly, "Actually, Princess Anning came to me today to talk about one thing."

……

Not long after the county school invited Shen Nanyun to give a lecture, there was a small news that the person who drew the blueprint of the waterwheel was not Shen Nanyun at all, but someone else.

These news were only spread in a small area and did not alarm the people in the court and the palace, but they somehow reached Zhongyonghou's ears.

Zhongyonghou thought of what Shen Nanyun said to him, that Princess Anning and Yun Qingyin were close, and Yun Qingyin urged Princess Anning to give her the credit for the waterwheel.

Zhongyonghou arrived at the restaurant, and when he saw Yun Qingyin, he immediately asked, "You spread those rumors outside?"

Yun Qingyin said, "What rumor?"

Princess Anning walked in from the outside, "That's not a rumor, but the truth. The person who gave Master Wang the blueprint of the waterwheel is Yun Qingyin."

"Princess An Ning." Zhongyonghou suppressed his anger, "I know you are friendly with her and speak for her, but you can also tell right from wrong."

Yun Qingyin's eyebrows and eyes turned cold, she had never heard of any so-called rumors before, but now she understood.

"Marquis Zhongyong, the princess's right and wrong can be distinguished more clearly than you. After you heard the rumors, have you confirmed it? Have you asked someone to verify it?" Yun Qingyin said lightly.

"You still don't admit it!" Zhongyonghou was extremely disappointed with her, "I know better than you what happened before and after this incident. I watched Yun'er draw the blueprint with my own eyes."

"Oh?" Yun Qingyin smiled lazily. She was sitting with crooked eyes, but when she looked up at Zhongyonghou, her eyes were clearly cold, "Did you watch her draw the first drawing?"

"I..." Zhongyonghou became furious, "Don't force yourself here! Yun'er has already been affected by this incident, you must go back with me and apologize to her."

Princess Anning was even more angry than Yun Qingyin, "Marquis Zhongyong, how could you do this?"

Zhong Yonghou said, "Princess, this is my family business, please don't interfere."

Princess Anning looked at her angrily.

Yun Qingyin pressed her arm on the table, pulled Princess Anning to sit down, and said to Zhongyonghou, "Go there and get me a wooden stick."

Yun Qingyin pointed to a corner of the restaurant lobby.

Zhongyonghou was puzzled, "What are you doing with the stick?"

"Oh, it's kind of useful."

Zhongyonghou said, "You will come back with me later."

Zhongyong Hou walked over to the place Yun Qingyin said.

Princess Anning asked, "Why did you let him go there?"

"Ah—" The scream that belonged to Zhongyonghou was deafening.

Yun Qingyin stretched her waist, "There were a few mice in the restaurant a few days ago, and I put a few mouse traps there."

Princess Anning silently let go of Yun Qingyin's hand, and stepped back a little.

Yun Qingyin got up and walked over.

Zhongyonghou got a mousetrap caught in one of his feet, and he was in such a mess, he roared angrily, "Yun Qingyin!"

Yun Qingyin took out the wooden stick from his hand, held it in the palm of the other hand and lifted it up and down to try twice, "You asked just now, what am I doing with the stick, now—"

Yun Qingyin smiled, "I answered you." He raised the wooden stick and hit Zhongyonghou on the back of the neck.

Zhongyonghou's eyes darkened and he passed out.

Zhongyonghou woke up three hours later, opened his eyes, his feet throbbed with pain, and the back of his neck. Thinking of what Yun Qingyin did to him before he passed out, Zhongyonghou was furious.

"I want to tie Yun Qingyin up, and I must teach her a lesson!"

Mrs. Xu brought over the soup, "Didn't you fall when you went to Yin'er's restaurant to help catch mice?"

Zhongyonghou was so shocked that his face deformed. Under Xu's suspicious gaze, his complexion changed several times, and finally he nodded with an expression of eating a mouthful of stool, "Yes, I'm going to catch mice..."

If he was told in front of his wife that he was a loyal and brave marquis, he would be thrown into such a face by a stinky girl.

Mrs. Xu fed him some medicine, "However, why did you wake up to see Yin'er?"

Zhongyonghou's attitude turned cold, "You know what a jerk she did!"

After speaking, he waited to drink the medicine, but saw Xu poured out the medicine bowl.

Zhongyonghou: "..."

"lady……"

Xu stood up, "Master Hou, do you still remember the last time you wronged Yin'er?"

"I know." Zhongyonghou said, "But this time it's different. Can something as big as a waterwheel be just for fun?"

Zhongyonghou told Xu what happened.

"Since this is the case, let's find someone to verify it. The blueprint is in the hands of Master Wang. Just ask Master Wang if it is right."

Zhongyonghou was unwilling, "Master Wang might be bribed. You and I saw Yun'er painting the waterwheel with our own eyes. How could it be faked? Ma'am, don't worry about it. Give me."

After resting for a few days, Zhongyonghou was finally able to walk on the ground. He sent Shen Nanyun to the gate of the palace, "I will ask her to explain to you about the rumors."

Shen Nanyun nodded, "Maybe my sister didn't do it on purpose, please father not to punish her too much."

"If she admits her mistake in time, I will naturally not pursue it too much."

At the gate of the palace, a carriage stopped, and two people got out of the carriage, one was Master Wang, and the other was an adult from the Ministry of Industry.
