Jiangshan is a matchmaker: Husband, please stay

Chapter 118 Special Warning
Su Jiu hurriedly dragged Zhou Xiang to hide in the dark.

"Why do you want to avoid it?" Zhou Xiang looked at Su Jiu's face in surprise.

"Then what's your name?" Su Jiu asked.

"I saw the carriage on the prince's mansion, and thought the prince would be in the carriage. Eh? Who is that young master? Could it be a relative of the prince's mansion?!" Zhou Xiang pointed to the carriage parked in front of the spice shop and said.

Su Jiu curled his lips slightly, "I know what a fart, that Dou Qingqing is the prince's side concubine, and that man is not a member of the prince's mansion. Seeing how intimate the two are, it must be something bad."

"Ah? What should I do? In broad daylight, if someone finds out, then..."

Just when she was doubting, the man took Dou Qingqing's hand, kissed her cheek, smiled and pulled Dou Qingqing into his arms, and carried them into the shop.

Su Jiu and Zhou Xiang's faces turned pale and then turned red, they stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and they both said in their hearts, "It's really an affair."

According to the laws of the Yuezhao Kingdom, any female family member of a prince or general who has an affair with an outsider will be sentenced to death by parading in the streets. Dou Qingqing is Nie Wuhuan's side concubine, and she has private meetings with other men. This... Isn't it adultery?But maybe that man is Du Qingqing's brother.

Su Jiu's heart also sank, remembering that when Zhou Xiang was reading to her, he had mentioned several relatively serious punishments in Yuezhao's country, and this was one of them.

According to legend, it was because at the beginning of the founding of the country, one of the old emperor's favorite concubines had an affair with a general, and later had a child. Originally, the old emperor wanted to set up a crown prince for his illegitimate son, but when things were revealed, the old emperor was furious. The concubine and the general were executed in the street, and the whereabouts of the illegitimate son were also unknown.

The old emperor also fell ill because of this, and set up this torture a few years later, and it has been used until now.

Thinking about it now, in this ancient time, the pursuit of perfect love has become a painful thing, women are really weak and poor victims.

Men can have one wife and multiple concubines, even princes and generals can have three wives and four concubines. Poor women have no status in the family. They guard a man with a large group of women, staring at the man's indifference and his own loneliness. It's so sad that I can't die well when I meet my beloved again!
Thinking of this, Su Jiu decided to keep the matter a secret. She looked at the city gate behind her and it was about to close. Presumably Nie Wuhuan would not come back now, so she ran out without waiting for Zhou Xiang to hold her back. Go straight to the store.

The shop is a shop specializing in spices. The shop is very large, and the curtain in front of the door blocks the aroma inside the shop and the assortment of spice boxes inside.

The palm-sized box is carved with exquisite lines and various patterns, and the spices emit various strange aromas through the gaps in the box.

Su Jiu sniffed his nose vigorously, looked around the house, and looked for Dou Qingqing in the shop.

I just saw a figure quietly entering a corridor in the shop.

Su Jiu held up her skirt and was about to follow.

Zhou Xiang who followed behind grabbed her, "Miss Su, what are you going to do. Don't, we can't participate in such things, we will be implicated."

What Zhou Xiang said is true. In fact, this incident happened quite a lot among princes and generals, but because of face and the relationship behind it, no one would expose it. If Nie Wuhuan seemed to turn a blind eye, then they Go and expose it, once the side concubine bites back, it will be Su Jiu who will be blamed.

"Hey, I'm going to tell them not to show up here with great fanfare. Nie Wuhuan often passes by here, and he will be suspicious when he sees his own carriage here. Hey, this Dou Qingqing is really brainless, just sitting like this The carriage of the Wangfu came out to meet someone, what should I do if I am seen, I will be paraded through the streets."

"Who will be paraded through the streets, Su Jiu, why don't you kneel down when you see the prince's side concubine?!" Dou Qingqing hurried over from there, raised her chin, and spoke to Su Jiu with her nostrils .

Su Jiu looked back, Dou Qingqing didn't have that man by her side, she was the only one, not even a maid, she came out for a date.Su Jiu didn't play around with her, and said directly, "Dou Qingqing, I want to remind you because you are a woman, don't show up everywhere, you don't like the prince..." Su Jiu lowered his voice, and then turned his body Leaning out, he said in a voice that could only be heard by two people, "Everyone knows about this, but you are dating other men and using the carriage of the palace. And people with ulterior motives to see."

Seeing that Dou Qingqing's face changed drastically, Su Jiu didn't want to be beaten by this grumpy and thoughtless Dou Qingqing, so he took a few steps back and continued, "Don't think that everyone in the world is bad, I won't ruin your business. I'm really doing it for your own good. I'm not a virgin Mary. I just don't want to see women suffer. The women here are already very poor, and they have to endure such an unfair law. Oh, that's all, say Even if you don’t understand, I’ve said what I said, you can figure out the rest, just be careful, and…”

Su Jiu turned his body back, looked at Dou Qingqing's pale face and continued, "It's not that I'm scaring you, but you really have to be careful. This is facing the gate of the imperial city. The prince often passes by here recently. If you see The carriage in my house will definitely come over to take a look, maybe I will meet you, you don’t have to think about it, I will help you get here, let’s go..."

Su Jiu turned around, hiding his achievements and fame.

It took Dou Qingqing a long time to recover from her astonishment, and Guan He, who had already come out with the spices that Dou Qingqing had selected, smiled and said to her, "Qingqing, it's getting late, I'll take you back. "

"Guan He, don't, I'll go back by myself. You, you have to go out later, I, hey, I'll go first, don't come to me anytime soon."

"Ah? Why, Qingqing, have you regretted it again? Didn't we agree that we will go to the prince to ask for a divorce letter after a while..."

Dou Qingqing stretched out her finger, put it on Guan He's lips, and shook her head at him, "It's not appropriate to say too much here, anyway, don't come to me anytime soon, I'll go back first, and I'll send you a letter to tell you the details afterwards, you, you have to be careful. "

"Hey... Qingqing, Qingqing, Qingqing..."

Guan He chased after Dou Qingqing's footsteps, but still failed to catch up with the carriage of the palace.

Dou Qingqing looked out from inside the carriage and saw Guan He looking for her lying on the wooden door of the shop. Her tears fell down unexpectedly and wet the splendid dress that Dou Qingqing specially dressed today.

"Guan He..."

In the distance, Su Jiu and Zhou Xiang looked at the pair, sighed and shook their heads, "Ah... poor people."

Zhou Xiang was a little surprised at first, but after a while, he admired Su Jiu's approach. I would like to ask men and women who are concealed by power and interests, who can have the courage and determination to pursue love.

But in Su Jiu's body, Zhou Xiang discovered it once, and she would never lose herself for those vain interests.

"Miss Su, I'll take you to see my father."

"Old General Zhou? He came to the imperial city?"

"No."

"Then I will go back to Youxia Mountain by myself. This trip cost your family a lot of money. I always have to come to thank you. Oh, I'm so hungry. Let's go eat."

"...Oh..." Zhou Xiang's face changed suddenly, and he blamed himself for this abrupt thought. He thought, maybe Su Jiu still doesn't understand, maybe his heart is not ready to ask Su Jiu to understand this. Fierce and forbearing love.

Then, don't be afraid, as long as she remains unmarried for a day, she will always have a chance.

After comforting myself, Zhou Xiang felt better again, pointed to the bustling snack shop in the distance with a smile and said, "The last time I ate some when I was resting there with a colleague, I thought the taste was not bad. Not bad, I'll take you to have a taste."

Su Jiu looked up, as if she could smell the fragrance inside several shops, so she nodded vigorously, patted her empty belly, and dragged Zhou Xiang to march there.

There was the momentum to charge this body, which was dizzy and hungry after a long day of quarreling, with power, and everything was ready to go, so he almost opened his mouth to eat.

He met the two people who were walking towards each other head-on.

"Su Jiu!" Liang Xiaodie called her loudly.

Su Jiu turned around and saw Liang Xiaodie and Mr. Li looking at her in the crowd. She smiled at first, but suddenly felt a murderous aura as cold as a knife coming towards her. She hesitated for a moment. Someone has approached her.

Liang Xiaodie grabbed her hand, "Su Jiu, where did you go today, let me find it easier."

"Hey, it's not that Zhou Xiang dragged me out to play, why do you come out when you have time, aren't you picking out fabrics?"

"Yeah, it's not settled yet, but when he comes, I'll let go of everything, hehe..." Liang Xiaodie smiled sweetly, and looked at Mr. Li beside him.

Mr. Li nodded slightly to Su Jiu, cupped his hands and said to Zhou Xiang who was walking over there, "Brother Zhou, Miss Su, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing?"

"Okay, huh..." Zhou Xiang was unusually polite.

Su Jiu went to Liang Xiaodie's house several times but didn't see Mr. Li. He didn't see him for a few days, and felt that the person in front of him was very strange.

However, after thinking about it, Su Jiu had only met him a few times, so he said politely to Mr. Li, "My neighbors are not going home anymore, it seems that they are really going to settle down in the imperial city. Hey , there is still half a month to drink your wedding wine, hehe...you have to work hard to have a litter of fat babies!"

"Hehe, just kidding." Mr. Li nodded.

Liang Xiaodie, on the other hand, was like a cat snuggling in the arms of its owner, rubbing against Mr. Li's arm, without saying a word.

"Hey, Zhou Xiang and I are going over there to eat, do you want to come with us?" Su Jiu tugged on Liang Xiaodie's sleeve who was immersed in sweetness.

Liang Xiaodie looked up at Mr. Li, she was out of ideas.

Mr. Li smiled and said, "We're going to find a spice shop over there, next time!"

"Well, that's fine, let's meet again next time. Hey, Liang Xiaodie, I'll go to your house tomorrow. I'm so tired today, riding a horse is really tiring."

"Okay, I'll ask someone to pick you up at the inn tomorrow."

"Well, then let's go first." Su Jiu dragged Zhou Xiang who was still nodding politely, and walked quickly.

After walking to the snack shop, Su Jiu said to Zhou Xiang, "Have you noticed that something is wrong with Mr. Li, but looking at Liang Xiaodie's appearance, he is very happy."
