After Gao married the prince, the sick and weak concubine lost her horse

Chapter 244 244 Exploitation
Shen Qingci knew that she had understood.

She lowered her eyes and lowered her voice, "That's right."

In the eyes of the bustard, they are two pieces of good fat.

The reason why she didn't do anything now was because she was concerned about Shen Qingci's identity, and she was afraid that she would cause unnecessary trouble if she really had some great background.

But she will never let it go.

At this moment, although it is obvious that he took the money and left, he definitely sent a turtle slave to watch in the dark. If he finds that there are no so-called "servants" around Shen Qingci and no one to support him, these people will definitely be like poisonous snakes Same thing.

Wang Baoqin's face turned pale instantly when she thought that she still hadn't escaped from those people's clutches and would be caught in the fire pit again.

"Then... how about that?"

After a moment of panic, she suddenly let go of Shen Qingci's hand.

"I can't hurt the girl any more. You can go as long as you can, and leave me alone."

Shen Qingci shook his head: "I can't leave anymore."

Wang Baoqin's eyes were red, and she was so anxious that she shed tears.

Shen Qingci sighed in her heart when she saw that a girl who was so intelligent in the past was so disoriented after this encounter.

But on the face, he guided her calmly.

"Think about it, are there any relatives in Yunzhou City who can join us?"

"It's better to have some background, these people dare not move."

Hearing this, Wang Baoqin's tears fell even more.

In her opinion, where does she have any relatives in Yuncheng.

The reason why she came here was to find her sweetheart, but she couldn't find him, and she ended up like this.

Shen Qingci still didn't react when he saw her.

Then he raised his hand and raised one side of the curtain, revealing the face under the veil.

She pretended to sigh: "I do have a younger sister in Yuncheng, but I don't know where she is now. Our sister has been separated for many years. I came to Yuncheng to find her."

Just after finishing speaking, Wang Baoqin froze in place staring at her face.

"Girl...you..."

It's no wonder Wang Baoqin was surprised, because Shen Qingci's current face looked like he had put on a mask.

Sheng Tingye was right.

This mask can't completely cover up a person's appearance, but it can modify the facial contours. It looks like two people, but because the eyebrows and eyes can't be modified, it looks five or six points similar to the original appearance.

But fortunately, the design of this thing is ingenious, it is difficult to see the flaws, and it needs to be soaked in a specific potion to remove it.

Even if they are similar, it just makes people feel that they look similar.

Unless you know the inside story, the more you are familiar with the person, the less you will recognize the change as a person.

Shen Qingci pretended to be puzzled, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

Wang Baoqin clenched Shen Qingci's hand, "Girl, is your sister Zhou Xi?"

Shen Qingci showed just the right excitement on his face: "Do you recognize it?"

Wang Baoqin nodded quickly: "I saw her in Qingzhou, she was with the third son of the Zhang family..."

Speaking of the third son of the Zhang family, Wang Baoqin suddenly became enlightened, "By the way, the Zhang family!"

It's not that she is completely unreliable in Yuncheng.

Although the family of the Zhang family looked down on her as a merchant woman, she was Princess An's cousin after all, and the Zhang family was the ancestral home of King An.

No matter what, they were all related.

Even if they don't like it anymore, because of this relationship, they can't ignore it on the face.

Compared with the fire pits like brothels, even if you encounter some cold eyes in the Zhang family, it is really nothing.

Getting out now is all that matters.

Under the emotional excitement, Wang Baoqin's hands subconsciously exerted a little strength, and Shen Qingci was in pain.

But she didn't show it, and couldn't stop asking: "Then where is my sister now?"

Wang Baoqin shook her head, "I don't know, but I think she is someone close to Mr. Zhang, so she should have returned to Zhang's house with him."

"To be honest, girl, I have some connections with the Zhang family. The girl reminded me just now that we can go to the Zhang family."

The Zhang family and Yunzhou Mu are the sky of this Yuncheng.

Who else dares to go to the Zhang family to find bad luck?

Thinking of this, Wang Baoqin was about to pull Shen Qingci together.

And this is exactly what Shen Qingci wanted.

She wanted to sneak into the Zhang family.

As for Wang Baoqin, it is obviously a shortcut.

Compared with hiding in the embroidery building and waiting for news, if there is any trouble, the Zhang family will obviously get the news sooner.

As long as she can get in, if something happens, she can communicate with Yang Erniang and others outside.

As for her safety, there is no need to worry.

Although Wang Baoqin's status is not high, but because of Jiang Yuzhi's marriage, the Zhang family will not make things difficult for her.

As for the fact that Zhang Jincheng in Qingzhou was pretended by Sheng Tingye, obviously Wang Baoqin didn't know about it.

But it doesn't matter. After all, at the wharf of Yunhe Village that day, many members of the Zhang family saw and heard "Zhang Jincheng" welcome Sheng Tingye to disembark. They all knew that Sheng Tingye's impostor was ordered by Zhang Jincheng. To do poorly.

As for Zhou Xi, the housemaid who was next to "Zhang Jincheng" in Yunzhou at that time, even if Sheng Tingye's identity was false at that time, because he was Zhang Jincheng's person, so he was a messenger with him, so he would naturally be classified as Zhang Jincheng's property. Down.

It's just that Shen Qingci still doesn't want to have anything to do with Zhou Xi's identity.

Fortunately, Wang Baoqin is easy to deceive.

She shook her head lightly, "If that's the case, it's really inconvenient for me to bother her with her current status, I'm afraid I will cause her trouble."

But there were turtle slaves watching from outside the alley, but Wang Baoqin refused to give up the only way out. She tugged at Shen Qingci's arm, and offered to propose: "Let's not mention your sister for now, let's go and seek refuge first. Let’s talk about this hurdle.”

Hearing this, Shen Qingci was a little embarrassed: "But my identity..."

It was rare for Wang Baoqin to recover some of her former cleverness at this time.

"If the girl doesn't dislike it, can you wrong me and pretend to be my maid?"

"Ordinary people from a family like the Zhang family will not be able to enter. At that time, we will definitely have to check our identities carefully. When I came to Yunzhou, I also brought maids with me. I am not afraid of their investigation."

Shen Qingci naturally remembered this.

Although I don't know where the maid is now and why she isn't by Wang Baoqin's side, but this status couldn't be better.

That's what Shen Qingci thought.

Moreover, she didn't need to worry, Wang Baoqin explained first: "I had the opportunity to go back to Qingzhou, but when I was just about to board the ship... I felt unwilling and wanted to go back to find that old friend again."

"That's why I missed the time to board the ship, and I was tricked by someone..."

Speaking of this, Wang Baoqin couldn't help but shed tears again.

But soon she cheered up, and instead comforted Shen Qingci: "At that time, I asked Qingqing to wait for me in the cabin first, and now she has already arrived in Qingzhou. It shouldn’t take long to go overland by detouring Hanzhou, and we’ll be safe by then.”

Hearing her words, Shen Qingci's eyes lit up: "Then I'll be in trouble."

This remark made Wang Baoqin a little ashamed: "Speaking of which, I harmed the girl."

Shen Qingci waved his hands again and again: "It's a blessing in disguise for me, I know the whereabouts of my sister, and before I see her, I have to ask the girl to keep it a secret for me, so don't make trouble for her."

Wang Baoqin responded quickly: "This is what it should be."

Wang Baoqin, who was still in despair before, felt hopeful again.

She walked out of the alley with Shen Qingci, and spent a little money to hire a carriage and went straight to the Zhang Mansion in the north of the city.

On the way, Shen Qingci had already exchanged names with Wang Baoqin.

Because of Shen Qingci's righteous rescue, Wang Baoqin didn't have any reservations about Shen Qingci, not only revealed his identity, but also revealed the purpose of coming to Yunzhou City.

At the end, her eyes were red again.

"I still don't believe it, he will lie to me."

That Young Master Xiao gave her a fake address.

She asked all the residents in the surrounding streets one by one, but there was no one named Xiao.

It's ridiculous that she still wanted to find him at the beginning, afraid that her mother would drive him away at the house and make him angry, and that he would misunderstand her too.

It's ridiculous how absurd it was when she traveled thousands of miles to Yunzhou and found no such person with her passion and friendship.

She has been obedient and sensible since she was a child, dignified and respectful, and never let her parents worry about her.

The only time she deviated from the rules was to find him.

She knew that her parents had already started looking for a husband for her after they had experienced the futility of forcing her to Mr. Zhang.

And she has already lived in a Young Master Xiao in her heart, so there is no room for other people.

She was afraid that she would miss this opportunity, and that she would never have a fate with him again in this life...

She never thought that it was this time of self-will that almost made her doomed.

If it wasn't for holding a breath in her heart and being unwilling, with her pride, she should have died on her own when she fell into the flower building.

Even though she has suffered all kinds of hardships for this, she still doesn't believe it, she must live to see him.

She wanted to ask him face to face why he lied to her.

With such obsession with her, Shen Qingci couldn't say anything.

She raised her hand and patted Wang Baoqin's shoulder, and only tried a few words of persuasion, but she didn't know if she listened.

The carriage soon arrived at Zhang's residence.

After explaining their purpose to the doorman, although they didn't ask for invitations, because they said they came from the Wang family in Qingzhou, and they also talked about the fact that Mr. Zhang San lived temporarily in the Wang family a few days ago, and saw that the two of them talked very well, they still passed the news for the two. People handed it in.

Not long after, a servant girl came and invited the two of them into the mansion.

Before Shen Qingci entered the door, he spotted a tortoise slave who was staring at them furtively at the opposite street. Seeing that they really entered Zhang's mansion, the man didn't dare to go any further, and quickly disappeared into the alley. silhouette.

Although it was still the New Year's Eve, the Zhang family was not in the slightest happy mood.

Not long after the funeral of Zhang Jinxuan, the eldest son of the Zhang family, Zhang Zongyao took his third son, Zhang Jincheng, to Qiankuling.

The second daughter of the Zhang family was raised at the knee of the old lady of the Zhang family, far away in the capital.

This huge Zhang residence is only supported by Mrs. Zhang.

Along the way, even the maid who cleaned the house was cautious, not even daring to breathe.

As a maid, Shen Qingci gave Wang Baoqin the veiled hat on her head before getting off the carriage, which just covered her somewhat embarrassed clothes.

The two were taken to the side hall.

When she arrived, Mrs. Zhang was listening to the accounts of her subordinates.

They stood under the eaves for a while, Shen Qingci saw Mrs. Zhang and Yuan Shi through the shadows of trees and flowers.

Even with delicate makeup, it was hard to hide the fatigue between her brows.

It was only after reading those informants that Shen Qingci knew that the Yuan family was Zhang Zongyao's stepmother.

According to rumors, Zhang Zongyao's original partner was a humble woman from a poor family.

This is not worthy of Zhang Zongyao's identity, but they have a strong relationship, Zhang Zongyao is far away in Yunzhou, and the old lady Zhang in Beijing can't control all aspects. .

It's a pity that that person is a lucky one.

After giving birth to her eldest son, Zhang Jinxuan, she passed away due to blood collapse.

Zhang Zongyao didn't want to continue, but he couldn't stand the pressure of Mrs. Zhang. In addition, the Yuan family is also quite famous in Yunzhou, which can bring great benefits to the development of the Zhang family in Yuncheng.

That's it for this marriage.

Later, the second daughter, Zhang Jingwan, and the pair of twins were born.

Seeing this at the time, Shen Qingci could understand why Zhang Zongyao valued his eldest son, Zhang Jinxuan, so much.

Originally from the original.

Zhang Jinxuan died, there was no other way, so Zhang Zongyao chose Zhang Jincheng as his successor.

To Yuan Shi, this is not a bad thing, after all, it is his son who is being valued now.

It can be said that these couples have respected each other like "ice" all these years. After Zhang Jinxuan's accident, Zhang Zongyao even sent someone to investigate Yuan, suspecting that Yuan was acting as a hindrance.

So, how could Yuan Shi be happy.

In particular, Zhang Zongyao was unwilling to stay in the mansion even for a year, and took Zhang Jincheng directly to Qiankuling. He went there for more than half a month without any news.

How can she see it openly.

When Shen Qingci's thoughts came back, Yuan's side had already finished her work, and when she heard the report from the woman beside her, she turned her head and glanced at the direction where Shen Qingci and Wang Baoqin were standing, and said in a cold but not impolite tone: "Please .”

Shen Qingci and Wang Baoqin were invited in like this.

When confronting Yuan Shi, of course they used the rhetoric they had made in advance.

As for Wang Baoqin's experience along the way, she did not hide it.

Now her heart is ashamed, and the only belief that can hold on is to see that Young Master Xiao.

Another point is that he didn't want to drag Shen Qingci down, and repaid her life-saving grace by helping her stay in the Zhang family to find her younger sister.

As for those who are famous or not, she doesn't care anymore.

What's more, the Zhang family covered the sky with only one hand in Yunzhou City. She made such a big commotion on the street today, and she couldn't hide her experience.

Fortunately, Shen Qingci was wearing a veiled hat to cover his face, and only said to the outside world that it was her maid who found her after a few rounds.

The two of them came to the Zhang family because they had nowhere to go.

Yuan shi did not express any doubt about this, and even said a few polite words to let them live here with peace of mind.

But Shen Qingci knew that when she turned around, she would arrange for someone to investigate and confirm their identities.

The half-truth and half-false are mixed together, so I'm not afraid of her investigation.

As long as he can live in the Zhang family first, he can find a chance to get close to the state pastoral mansion next door.

The military strength of Yunzhou City is in the hands of Yao Zhaofeng.

Yao Zhaofeng was the first to react when there was any disturbance.

This is the purpose of Shen Qingci's trip.
