A little weak chicken came to Dali Temple

Just as Prince Consort Pei was about to reply, his son had already entered the private room, "Mother—father—"

The consort and his wife both looked behind their son. Except for the two guards, there was no one else.

Princess Ning'an was a little disappointed for a moment, "Zi Qian?" It means you are the only one.

Pei Jingning didn't notice the princess's mother's disappointed mood, and sat next to the couple. "Just arrived?" A table of newly served dishes remained untouched.

Princess Ning'an rolled her eyes and didn't know how to reply to her son's words. She said she had eaten it, so what's the new dish on the table? She said she hadn't eaten it. This kid didn't bring anyone here, so he could only waste a table of good food. .

The Prince Consort couldn't help but ask, "I think I saw Ye Pingshi just now. Where is she?"

Pei Jingning refilled the tea cups in front of her parents. When she heard her father's question, she raised her eyes and said, "I'm having dinner downstairs with Lu Sicheng."

"Why don't you bring it with you?" You've obviously seen them holding hands, so why don't you bring it with you to show your parents their eyes?
Pei Jingning thought to himself, do you think I don’t want to take it?He had called her out just now, but Ye Pingshi suddenly said that she had a stomachache and was afraid of being rude to the princess and his wife.

Of course he knew that Yeats was an excuse, and he suddenly realized that it seemed inappropriate to bring Yeats in Dali Temple official uniform to his parents, so he acquiesced to her excuse.

Pei Jingning was just thinking about how to reply to his parents when Bai Lang replied at the door, "Ye Pingshi knew that the prince-in-law was eating here, so he came here to pay his respects."

See the Prince Consort?The family of three immediately understood what identity Yeats had met them as, what a smart little lady.

The prince-in-law was happy to see the princess, "Please come in quickly."

Bai Lang stretched out his hand to lead the person in.

Yeats respectfully bowed to the consort and his wife, "Yeats has met Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Consort, the two of them, Jin An."

Princess Ning'an had a motherly smile on her face: "Good boy, no need to be polite."

"Thank you, Your Highness, Princess." Yeats then raised his head and smiled.

As expected, she is the little lady that her son has fallen in love with. She disguises herself as a man. Even though her face is bare, her face is as beautiful as a hibiscus and her temperament is refined. When she appears, she becomes a scene of her own and attracts attention.

Princess Ning'an thought while looking at it. The Pei family has her as the eldest princess and the son is capable. There is no need for marriage. There is nothing wrong with letting the son marry the person he likes.

The three of them stared at Yeats, causing her palms to sweat, but her face remained calm as she cupped her hands and said, "Yeats, on behalf of my father, would like to thank Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Prince Consort and your Excellency for their support. My father said If it weren't for you, there would be no current Ye family, and there would be no current Yeats. Please, Your Royal Highness the Princess and the Consort, please accept the Ye family's respect."

The princess and her husband quickly signaled their son to help Yeats, who was giving the gift.

Pei Jingning stepped forward with a smile and helped Yeats up.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

At the princess's signal, the prince-in-law smiled and said, "You are too polite. You haven't eaten yet. Zi Qian, can you let your subordinates accompany us to eat some food?"

Of course Pei Ziqian knew what his parents were thinking, and said with a smile, "Then I will thank Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Prince Consort on behalf of Mr. Ye."

Yeats didn't even have a chance to refuse, so he had to sit down on the table awkwardly and politely. Originally he just wanted to sit down symbolically and leave, but he didn't expect that the prince-in-law was so polite and repeatedly asked Mr. Shaoqing to pick up food for her. I almost overstuffed myself accidentally.

It wasn't until she left the Star Reaching Pavilion that the carriage of the princess and her husband disappeared from her sight. Then she took a deep breath and relaxed. Today's meal... why does it seem weird the more she thinks about it?

Pei Jingning wanted to send Yeats back, but she finally refused. No, she had to enjoy the evening breeze and be alone.

Zhao Bai waited until Pei Jingning left to send Yeats home, but of course he was rejected. "Thank you Mr. Zhao for your kindness. Yang Fuquan is with me, so it will be fine."

Zhao Bai didn't force himself and nodded, "Be safe and go home early."

"Thank you." Yeats and Yang Fuquan got on their horses and whipped their horses to go home.

In the Prince Consort's Mansion, a family of three arrived home together.Pei Jingning was about to go back to his yard, but Princess Ning'an pulled her back, "Zi Qian, what are your plans?"

His parents' attitude tonight made Pei Jingning understand what they meant. He was very grateful to his parents: "Whenever you get a suitable opportunity, please ask the Holy Father for marriage."

"A suitable opportunity?" Princess Ning'an heard Xuanwai's voice.

"Ah."

Prince Consort Pei was puzzled, "Do you mean the right side of the Holy Sage or the Dali Temple?"

Pei Jingning narrowed his eyes and said, "Both."

Prince Consort Pei looked at the eldest lord.

The eldest princess frowned.

The next day, before Teng Chong and others had time to go out to work, a case was reported. A woman died at home. Ye's small group went to the scene with Master Yan.

This is a grain store located in a commercial street. It has a typical layout of a shop in the front and a house in the back. The grain is of medium size. Passing through the front shop and through the patio, there is the residential yard and the warehouse for storing grain at the back.

The woman died on the bed in the bedroom with no clothes on her body. She had had sex before her death.

Yan Zuozuo investigated from beginning to end, "Most of the marks on the deceased were left during lovemaking, and there were scars of resistance. Judging from the complexion of the deceased, the shape of the nostrils, and the marks of pressure on the lips, the woman was suffocated to death by covering her mouth and nose."

While examining the deceased, Yeats listened to Master Yan report the corpse. As he examined, the woman was strangled to death. She used a magnifying glass to examine the body of the deceased from top to bottom.

There were fingerprints on the side of her cheek, which were probably left by the murderer when he covered her. Also, skin scraps and clothing strands were found in the fingernails of the deceased. It is possible that the deceased grabbed the murderer somewhere on his body and hooked the clothing when he resisted. Caught his skin again.

Teng Chong speculated based on the on-site investigation: "It should be a murder case of concubine."

Zhang Jin added: "Just now, Capt. Teng and I asked the servants of the Xiao family. This woman is the sister of the owner of Xiao Ji Grain Store. She returned to her parents' home after their divorce a few years ago and has been living in her parents' home. She usually helps with the business of the shop. .”

How can a divorced woman interfere in her mother's business?Doesn’t her brother-in-law and sister-in-law object?

Zhang Jin replied, "The owner of the grain store is named Xiao, and he often goes out to buy grain. In the past, the owner's wife and the shopkeeper were responsible for everything at home. Three or four years ago, Mrs. Feng Xiao got involved in the grain store after she returned to her parents' home."

"Her sister-in-law didn't object?"

Teng Chong replied: "Xiao Wang happened to be pregnant at the time, and Feng Xiao took the opportunity, and has been involved in the grain business ever since."

"What's the use of all the food?"

Before Teng and Zhang arrived here, they saw Ye Zhi asking, so they called over the shopkeeper Xiao Ji Food Store.

The shopkeeper came over and knelt down: "Sir... sir... we don't know about this kind of thing between men and women."

Teng Chong interrupted the old man, "I didn't ask you who your concubine is. I asked you what Mrs. Feng does in the grain store?"

"Back to... Sir, it's about the food, food, housing and transportation for the guys, and when selling goods, make sure the guys don't make mistakes."

Food is just a chore.

Yeats looked at the old shopkeeper and judged whether his words were true or false.
