Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 516 White Lotus Effect

Pan Yiyang continued to ask: "Princess, what happened?"

Nan Surou sighed softly, and said: "Your Excellency is busy with affairs, I'm afraid you haven't heard about what happened yesterday morning."

Pan Yiyang frowned. He has recently left many affairs to Sun Xuezhu, the left prime minister. He has a lot of leisure time, but because he is in a bad mood, he doesn't bother to care about the outside world. But it's not that he has no news, it's just that too many things happened yesterday Pan Yiyang didn't understand which one Nan Surou was talking about.

Nan Surou continued: "Kane Hu was ordered to assist in welcoming the mission. Many properties of the Hu Mansion were entrusted to me to take care of, but yesterday morning, several shops belonging to the Hu Mansion were burned down. It was Chaoyue Pavilion that caught fire first. As for the fish in the pond, the arsonist was seen by others, and it came from the shop under my command. This fire burned Kanehu and I to the brink of bankruptcy. Alas... it is really embarrassing, I am afraid it will last for a long time I have no time and energy to communicate with you when I have to run around for huge compensation."

fire?
"How did this happen?" Pan Yiyang's eyes widened, and after thinking about it, it seemed that there was such a thing, but it was not as important as a national event such as welcoming the embassy, ​​so it was covered up.

"Alas." Nan Surou lowered her eyes, as if she was hiding her sadness, she whispered: "You know, the empress often summons me, and when I enter the palace, I always meet some people who don't like me , and if they don’t see that I’m living well, they will take revenge on me.”

Pan Yiyang has been with Nan Surou for many days, and has always felt that Nan Surou is gentle and straightforward. Now that he heard what Nan Surou said, he immediately believed it.

This is also the benefit of the False Virgin. Even if she fights someone, she is so white on weekdays, and when she really beats people up, will anyone believe it?
Of course, except for those who understand her true nature, no one else would believe her.

Ever since, Pan Yiyang's face darkened, and he asked gloomyly, "Who set the fire?"

Nan Surou said with a sad face: "Don't ask, sorry, no matter what, we can't shirk our responsibility for this matter. Kane Hu discussed with me yesterday and plans to do our best to lose money to those Merchant."

Hearing what Nan Surou said, Pan Yiyang's complexion became even more ugly, "You don't have to hide it, just tell me the ins and outs of the matter."

Nan Surou bowed her head, and said: "Someone wants to use my name to offend the powerful, so it is natural for me to take responsibility. I have nothing to say. Now I come here to bid farewell to Mr. Right Prime Minister. Don't worry, I was born in the countryside. At the beginning, I was poor and empty, even if I lost everything, I am still young, and I can earn more money, so I won’t be unable to survive. When the time comes, the matter will fade away, and I will visit my house.”

Pan Yiyang wondered, what's the matter, is it so hard to say?

Nan Surou repeatedly evaded, Pan Yiyang couldn't take it anymore, "No, you have to clarify this matter today."

Nan Surou looked up at Pan Yiyang, with doubts on her face, as if she thought it was a strange thing for Pan Yiyang to ask her to explain clearly.

Pan Yiyang was taken aback by her eyes, and hurriedly said: "You are usually cautious in your words and deeds, but now you are in a trance and worried, don't worry, my wife and I treat you like a granddaughter, if you are bullied , we will not sit idly by, and you don't have to worry about any officials who will be against me. This is what I am most afraid of. Just make it clear, don't be so inexplicably following other people's ways, and cry before you know it. , made my wife and I anxious."

Nan Surou's expression froze for a moment, and then she smiled gratefully, "My lord right, it's not like you don't know that the empress has hosted two banquets for me, just because of questioning my identity, many noble daughters enjoyed it Hey, there are more people who are dissatisfied and look down on me. Originally, I thought that as long as I was cautious in my words and deeds, I could evade these people, and I could live a more peaceful life, but unfortunately, I am deeply favored by the empress. , and helped take care of the property here at Kanehu, those people still refused to let me go, and gave me problems one after another. This time, they even sent people dressed as poor people to beg and deceive me in Wanbaozhai. I see that The children of a family of three were seriously ill. I temporarily took them in because of my soft heart. I originally wanted to let their children recover and then let them go, but the couple insisted on 'repaying their kindness'. If you do it, you will still be paid, but who knows that they will repay their kindness and cause trouble for me, but they have involved so many people, Mr. Right... Tell me, can I not be sad?"

As she said that, the water vapor in Nan Surou's eyes became more intense, she seemed to endure it very tenaciously, she looked like a poor child who had been wronged and tortured.

Pan Yiyang frowned even more as he listened, "There are still people like this who bully you when you are young and kind and return your kindness and revenge. Who on earth would do such a crazy thing?"

Nan Surou said miserably: "You don't have to worry about me. That person taught me a lesson. This world is ruled by the weak and the strong. That person has a deep-rooted background. Only she can punish me. I have no chance of fighting back." Power, as the saying goes, the people do not fight with officials, and the poor do not fight with the rich. That person is an official family, but I am a princess in name only, so why should I get to the bottom of it? Not nice."

These words hit Pan Yiyang's tense nerves hard.

The words that the prince violated the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime jumped up in Pan Yiyang's mind. Listening to Nan Surou's original words, there is no doubt that this serious fire originated from the jealousy among boring women for that worthless thing Harming other people's interests, and relying on his own status to bully good people, Pan Yiyang can't see these things the most.

Pan Yiyang said angrily, "Tell the old man who did such a crazy thing for such a ridiculous reason, and the old man must find a way to give you justice."

Nan Surou sniffed, wondering: "Well, it's really hard to say, there are more than one official lady who caused trouble for me."

Pan Yiyang's face became even more gloomy. He also had prejudice against Nan Surou before, not to mention those short-sighted boudoirs, but no matter how prejudiced he is, he should not do such evil things.

Pan Yiyang said angrily: "Tell me all the people you think are suspicious, and I will analyze them for you. If you tell them, I will definitely make the decision for you."

"This... I can't explain it in a few words." Nan Surou hesitated.

Pan Yiyang wanted to do more, but he heard that there was a servant from outside to report, saying that the servants of Nan Surou's family had something to report.

Before Nan Surou could respond, Pan Yiyang ordered directly: "You let that servant come in." After speaking, Pan Yiyang looked at Nan Surou and said, "Master, this is not an easy matter. If the coming servant wants to say What's more, it's about our topic just now, let her talk about it, and I can also refer to it for you."

Nan Surou showed panic and said, "Let her come in and talk."

Pan Yiyang nodded in satisfaction, and the boy also retreated. Pan Yiyang naturally looked at the boy's leaving figure, and did not see the flickering curve of Nan Surou's lips at all.
