Chapter 165 Exhale
Su Jin tilted her head to look at him, "Why didn't you ask me what happened just now?"

Qi Yao smiled and said, "What's the matter? I only know that you have your own reasons for doing things, and you won't treat Lu Yunchuan like that for no reason."

Su Jin shrugged her shoulders, her face full of helplessness, but she stopped mentioning the matter, and called the waiter to come in, "Send up all the delicious food here, and if I eat anything that is not delicious, I will find it for you." Someone smashed your store, hurry up!"

The man was dumbfounded by her, who knows what her taste is?Luckily, Liu Li, who was by her side, saw the man's embarrassment, stepped out and said a few words to him, and the man left.After a while, the food was brought up. Seeing that it was mostly cakes, Su Jin didn't say anything, picked it up and ate it, and said angrily while eating, "Lu Yunchuan, you bastard! You bastard! He must have punished him severely that day, but seeing him being beaten up so badly today, I still can't feel happy in my heart, Xiang Wan's death is too worthless..."

"You said Xiang Wan died?" Qi Yao could no longer pretend to be calm when he heard this, "How did she die?"

"Difficult childbirth." Thinking of the situation at that time, Su Jin lost the mood to eat snacks, "Do you know why Xiang Wan left Beijing at that time? Why was he sold to the market?"

"Sold?" Qi Yao was dumbfounded, "I only know that before I went to the border with Lu Yunchuan, she was still in the village in the suburbs of Beijing. When we came back, Lu Yunchuan came to me for a drink and said Xiang Wan It's gone, I can't find it anywhere, I asked the servants who served in the village, and they said that Xiang's family came to pick her up."

"Nonsense!" Su Jin slapped the table and said angrily, "If there are still people in the Xiang family, why would they let their mother and daughter go to the capital? You don't know who did it, but I can guess it. How can such a trick work?" Who? It's probably that nasty princess! Why is she so against Xiangwan? Isn't she just a princess, she's amazing! She's so ugly, and..."

Liuli hurriedly covered her mouth, "My little ancestor, what are you doing, if someone listens to it, it will be a felony."

Su Jin suddenly stopped talking, and sat there slumped, just crying, "I told Xiang Wan that she was not allowed to go with Lu Yunchuan or come to the capital, but she didn't listen to me, and now it's all over , fell into such a situation, left the child and left, what to do with the child? Such a small ball, without the love of the mother, replaced him..." As he spoke, he cried so hard that he couldn't tell Here comes the word.

When she said these words, Qi Yao was a little shocked. Xiang Wan was sold when she was pregnant and gave birth to a child, "Jin'er, where is Xiang Wan's child?"

Su Jin looked at him sobbing, shook her head and said nothing.

Both of them fell silent, and suddenly the door of the room was pushed open, and someone broke in, both of them quickly stood up, and took a closer look, but it was Lu Yunchuan.He went straight to Su Jin, "Su Jin, where is Xiang Wan? Where is she?"

Su Jin pushed him away, "Why do you still have the face to ask me? Xiang Wan is dead, dead! She was killed by you! Are you happy now? Satisfied? You deceived her feelings and made their mother If you bring women to the capital, you should be responsible to them. Tell me, why was Xiang Wan sold? Or when she was pregnant, tell me!"

The shock on Lu Yunchuan's face was even more frightening than Qi Yao's expression just now. He rushed forward and grabbed Su Jin's shoulder tightly, "What are you talking about? Xiang Wan was sold? Didn't she get sold by the Xiang family?" Someone picked her up? Who sold her? Tell me!"

Seeing Su Jin's expression of pain, both Qi Yao and Liuli stepped forward to force Lu Yunchuan to let go of him, Su Jin shrank behind Liuli, and said coldly: "There is no one in the Xiang family, so someone must have done it on purpose." To spread this doubt, as for who is so ruthless, you only need to think about whose status Xiang Wan's existence threatens, and there must be a way to bring people out from under the nose of Zhuangzi. With a certain amount of power, you can just think about it, I want to see how sincere you are to Xiang Wan?"

What she said is very clear, who else is not Princess Ping An?Lu Yunchuan's face suddenly turned ugly, and then he shook his head hesitantly, "Impossible, she doesn't even know about Xiang Wan's existence."

"You are really stupid. As a princess, you, the son-in-law, can hide from her the fact that you are raising a concubine outside for a while, and you can hide it from her forever? If you don't believe me, you can go back to the mansion and send someone to inquire about it. I thought that my guess must be right, and Xiang Wan also doubted this, she said that she seemed to have seen the people around Princess Pingan." The latter sentence was deliberately said by Su Jin, in order to force Lu Yunchuan to find out the truth Come on, if Lu Yunchuan is afraid of Princess Ping's identity and dare not take action, then she will never tell him about the change of life, because he can't even guarantee his own rights, and it is inevitable that after the change of life returns to him He would be bullied by that cruel princess like he bullied Xiang Wan.She could no longer keep Xiang Wan, and she could no longer lose her new life.

Lu Yunchuan stopped talking, frowning tightly, Qi Yao stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, "I think what Jin'er said is reasonable, you might as well check it out privately after you go back, Princess Ping An, she, She's not kind and generous, if she knew about Xiang Wan's existence, she wouldn't be surprised if she behaved like this."

With a long sigh, Lu Yunchuan sat down on the chair, holding his head in his hands, "Anyway, I'm sorry for Xiang Wan," he raised his head abruptly after speaking, "She, Xiang Wan, you can go before you go." What did you say? How did she... get there? How did you meet her?"

Seeing him like this, Su Jin could see that he was not putting on an air. If a person was really sad to the extreme, that kind of sadness and helplessness would radiate from his bones. Lu Yunchuan is like this now.

"I met her when I went to buy someone in the people's market. First I met Liuli, and then I saw someone beating a woman. I went up to check and found that woman was Xiang Wan. She...she still had a big belly at that time. Rolling on the ground in pain, she began to bleed after I moved her into the carriage, and I went to my house to find a doctor and a stable woman, but... still couldn't save her life, she told me when she was leaving , let me not hate you, but I didn't agree to her, because I knew I couldn't do it." Su Jin thought for a while and said, she decided not to say anything about the child, because she was still young anyway.

After she finished speaking, Lu Yunchuan was crying so hard, the room fell silent, and the moods of several people were very low.At this time, there was a knock on the door. I thought it was a clerk, but it turned out to be a familiar voice, it was Lu Yunchuan's servant.

"Young master, the princess is here." This is a tip-off.

As soon as he finished speaking, Princess Ping'an had already appeared in front of the door. She was still aloof as before. She glanced at Su Jin with disgust, and her displeased eyes fell on Lu Yunchuan with red and swollen eyes. The servant girl smiled sarcastically: "What's wrong with the son-in-law's eyes? Could it be that he was beaten in the street just now? Why didn't you fight enough to come here before?"

"Presumptuous!" Lu Yunchuan was hating Princess Pingan, seeing that she kept a straight face and asked a maid to ridicule him. His majestic General Yunwei couldn't even keep his most beloved woman because he married the princess. , he is too incompetent and useless! "Do you have a share here? Get out of here!"

The servant girl didn't dare to speak anymore, she lowered her head and retreated behind Princess Pingan. Princess Pingan sneered when she saw this, "Why is the son-in-law so angry? Did my servant girl say something wrong? Why are you like this? If it's true If you don’t want people to tell you, why do you do such a thing?”

"What kind of thing did I do?" Lu Yunchuan was annoyed, "Don't say I didn't do anything shameful, even if I did, I wouldn't be able to get a maid to yell and point, and you , although you are a princess, you have married into my Lu family. You are a member of the Lu family. You must abide by the rules of the Lu family, let alone a maid! Don't think that I, Lu Yunchuan, will be afraid of you, let alone you It's a princess, even a queen, don't even think about yelling at my Lu family!"

Su Jin simply crossed Erlang's legs, squeezed some snacks into his mouth, and took a sip of tea by the way. This is really a good show, a once-in-a-lifetime show, and it would be a waste if you don't enjoy it.Seeing her so helpless, Qi Yao shook his head with a doting smile. He is not afraid of Princess Pingan, but she is just a princess left by the previous emperor, and she was not born by the queen mother. How could the current sage have remembered that he had such an unmarried younger sister for a while, and how could he point her to such a close relative of the Lu family?He didn't dare to say anything else, but there was no problem in protecting Su Jin, so let her mess around.

"My son-in-law, how can you talk to the princess like that?" The maid stood up again with a loyal look.

Lu Yunchuan kicked him over. He is a martial artist, so his strength is naturally not small. The maid was kicked over by her, rolled on the ground a few times before stopping, and described herself as embarrassed.

Seeing that her confidant was treated like this by him, Princess Pingan didn't care about any royal etiquette, and her eyes widened, "Lu Yunchuan, you dare to do something to the people around me? I have to sue the emperor and let you I can't eat at home and walk around!"

"Hmph!" Lu Yunchuan sneered, as if he didn't care at all, "Do you think my Lu family is vegetarian? I'm afraid that you will sue the imperial court, don't say that I beat a maid today, just change it tomorrow. I found out that you were the one who did it to Xiang Wan, and if I beat you, it won't be too late to go to court."

When the name Xiang Wan was mentioned, Ping An hesitated for a while, "Why do you say that Xiang Wan was killed by me? How do I know who she is?"

"You really don't know?"

"Of course I don't know." Princess Ping stroked the pattern on her sleeve and replied calmly.

"Okay, it's best not to know. Let me tell you that Xiang Wan's death was wronged. I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. If I find out that you did it, I will divorce you!" Lu Yunchuan said. There was no hesitation when speaking, and there was a little boredom in it.

Princess Ping'an paused for a moment, then turned around and wanted to leave, before leaving, she said coldly, "It's better for the son-in-law to go back to the mansion earlier, what good can there be by mixing with these dubious people, don't wait until then." If you can’t rest, I’ll put myself in there again!” After saying that, he left without looking back.

"General Lu really has a good wife, and Princess Ping'an is really virtuous, and she was well educated by General Lu." Su Jin watched the fun with a smile, and sarcastically, for fear that Lu Yunchuan would feel too comfortable.

Lu Yunchuan had calmed down his emotions at this time, and looked at Qi Yao with a crying face. Qi Yao knew that he was asking for help, so he pulled him to sit by the table, and said to Su Jin seriously, "Jin'er, Liuli, there are some clues about the Wu family."

"How?" The master and servant asked at the same time.

"Old General Lu handed over the memorial of Chen Geng's impeachment and the evidence given by Liuli to the Holy Majesty. After seeing it, the Holy Majesty was furious and said that he would thoroughly investigate the matter. It seems that the redress of General Wu's family will soon be over. Become reality."

"That's great." Liuli walked up to Qi Yao, knelt down and kowtowed to him, "Thank you Mr. Qi for your help. If the case can be vindicated, I believe the master, wife, girl and young master will feel at ease."

Qi Yao nodded and looked at Lu Yunchuan, "Although General Wu's case should be vindicated, it is even more difficult to bring down Chen Geng. Yunchuan, did the old general say anything?"

"That old thief Chen Geng has been in the court for many years, and many officials below him are all in his lineage. His relationship is intricate and intertwined. How can it be easily overthrown? It's difficult!" Lu Yunchuan sighed, Chen Geng and his father It's a deadly enemy, and their Lu family doesn't want to see Chen Geng in trouble, but it's really difficult, the current emperor... Sigh!

After coming out of the restaurant, Su Jin got into the carriage and went back to Chu’s house. Su Shuang was already waiting for her. When she saw her come back listlessly, she didn’t ask why, but said, “Parent and mother have written a letter. I wrote a letter before.” Go back and tell them you're here, and Mom and Dad wrote back."

"What did you say?" Su Jin hurriedly cleared up her mood and asked, "Did Mother tell me to go back and get married again?"

Su Shuang smiled and patted her on the shoulder, "I didn't say that, I just said that Han Yu and Master Zhu San have both come to Beijing, and they want to arrest you."

"Second Sister, seriously?" Su Jin was taken aback. If those two people came, what would she do?
Su Shuang nodded, "Really, take care of yourself, it's still early to calculate the distance, you can use this time to think of a way."

Su Jin wailed, she really couldn't think of any other way except to hide herself and prevent them from finding out.

The two sisters were talking, when Qiu Liang walked in, and handed over a post with a smile, "Girl, Princess Ruyi sent a post, asking the girl to go to Yunchan Temple to offer incense tomorrow."

"Yunchan Temple? Second sister, is there a Yunchan Temple in the capital?" Su Jin asked curiously.

Su Shuang showed helplessness and sadness on her face, "Yes, there is also Yunchan Temple."

When Su Jin heard this, she was afraid that she would remember the old things again, so she hurriedly interrupted: "Second sister, who is the princess Ruyi? Why does the second sister know a princess? What is the relationship with Princess Pingan?"

Su Shuang said with a smile: "Princess Ruyi is the niece of Princess Ping An, the eldest daughter of the third prince's family, married to the eldest son of the Diange University scholar, and this family is the grandfather's family of He Lianwen you know. Princess Ruyi is the same age as me, and has the same personality as me. We met each other at a party, and we often come and go. You know my temperament, and I hate those twitchy attitudes the most, but Princess Ruyi is not, You'll know when you see it tomorrow."

It is a good thing that the second sister can find someone to talk to in Beijing, not to mention that she is a princess, so she can support the second sister in the future.Su Jin thought about it and said with a smile: "Okay, I will go to meet Princess Ruyi tomorrow."

Early the next morning, Su Shuang dressed up and called Su Jin. Because she was going to the temple, she couldn't dress too fancy, but she couldn't be too plain, so Su Shuang didn't wear those golden lights. Shiny jewelry, only a few pieces of jade.Su Jin followed her dress, only wearing a few jade hairpins.

The two sisters took their maidservants to go to Yunchan Temple in a carriage. This Yunchan Temple is not in the suburbs, but in Beijing, but it is a bit remote. There are many pilgrims who open the door, and people come and go.

Su Shuang pulled Su Jin's men out of the carriage, and happened to meet a carriage with the word "Lin" written on it at the door, Su Shuang pointed at her, "Look, that's Princess Ruyi's carriage, let's go quickly Step up and go meet her."

Su Jin nodded, and curiously followed her second sister to the Lin family's carriage, and saw a maid in green clothes getting out of the carriage, seeing Su Shuang hurriedly said hello, and stretched out her hand to help out a young woman with delicate features, This young woman has her belly upright, and the maids around her are guarding her tightly.

"I said it's so inconvenient for you to move around, what are you doing in this crowded place?" Seeing her get off the carriage, Su Shuang muttered.

Princess Ruyi was not annoyed, she just smiled and said, "I don't want to worship the Buddha and ask him to bless the child in my belly," while speaking, his eyes swept over Su Jin, "This is your sister, right? Talking about it, me, looking at your third sister, she looks much better than you."

Su Shuang laughed, "You're the one who knows how to read." After saying that, she pushed Su Jin, and Su Jin came forward to salute with a smile. Princess Ruyi saw that she acted gracefully. Like her sister, she is amiable, so she nodded with a smile, took a jade bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into Su Jin's hand, "Originally, we are of the same generation, and I shouldn't give a meeting gift, but you and I Elder sister is the best sister, so her younger sister is my younger sister, and this meeting gift is for me."

Su Jin took a look at Su Shuang, saw that she didn't say anything, and accepted it, then smiled and took out a small and cute long-life lock with fresh patterns from her arms. She originally bought it for a change of life, but now So I had to take it out as a return gift first, "According to the words of the princess, as for me, I just call the princess a sister, the jade bracelet that the sister gave to the sister, sister, this is a meeting gift from the sister to the nephew, sister I have to help him collect it first."

Princess Ruyi was laughing at first, saying that Su Jin is very polite, but when she saw the small and cute golden jade longevity lock coming, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "There is no longevity lock like this sold outside, and there is no such thing. Small, but you, where did you find such a cute longevity lock?"

"Before I came to the capital, I was in Yunsu City, where children of wealthy families often wear such longevity locks, and the patterns on them mean to keep children safe." Su Jin explained with a smile.
