Chapter 152

Jiang Youyao ran away, which is a fact that no one expected. Jiang Youyao was still there in the daytime yesterday, and there was no one to see it this morning. It can be seen that Jiang Youyao could only leave the house last night while there was no talent around.

Jiang Laofu was so popular that he almost fainted, and immediately asked pearl to bring Yao Guangzhu's two servant girls up for interrogation. When the golden flower and the silver flower were brought to the late Phoenix hall, they were all pale. Obviously, they also knew that something big had happened this time. Old lady Jiang looked at them and said coldly, "say it."

Jinhua hesitated a little. She didn't know why she was loyal to Jiang Youyao. At this point, she still didn't want to sell Jiang Youyao. Maybe she was afraid that Jiang Youyao would settle with her afterwards.

Old lady Jiang sneered, "come on, drag these two servant girls out and sell them."

"Sell" means to sell into brothels. Jinhua was immediately scared out of her wits. They were originally the personal servant girls of the official miss. Such servant girls either married with the miss and became aunts by the uncle. Or it's better to marry out and be a steward's wife than to be reduced to brothels.

Before Jinhua could speak, Yinhua had kowtowed to old lady Jiang and said, "old lady, the maid knows where the third miss has gone, and the third miss has gone to Ji's house!"

Jinhua was startled. Why did Yinhua say it directly? As everyone knows, Yinhua has long been dissatisfied with Jiang Youyao. Jiang Youyao is self willed and beats and scolds the servant girls around her if she is slightly dissatisfied. Once upon a time, Ji shuran had to restrain herself. Now Ji shuran is dead. I don't know if Jiang Youyao is more and more irritable, and often doesn't treat her and Jinhua as people. Pity them, as Jiang Youyao's personal maid, not only can't say what's wrong with their young lady, but also have to endure this inhuman abuse.

At present, Jiang Youyao has an accident, but Yinhua doesn't want to make herself lose her life because of Jiang Youyao's mistakes. Therefore, she was not as tangled as the golden flower, and said, "old lady, last night, the miss Let the maid and the Golden Flower clean up the gold and silver for her. She also led away the porter, and the maids put laxatives in the tea of the porter, and while they were gone, the third Miss escaped from the house."

Lu Shiqi said, "escape? Why did she escape from the mansion? If she wants to go to the Ji family, she can go by herself?"

Silver Flower stammered twice before saying, "the third young lady thought that now that she was grounded in the house, she would not be allowed to leave the house again in her life, let alone go back to Ji's house. The third young lady said that she must go back to Ji's house. The slaves didn't dare to annoy the master, and their deed of sale was still on the master... Moreover, the slaves thought that they would report the matter to the old lady this morning, so that even if the third young lady went to Ji's house, the old lady could send someone to look for it."

Old Mrs. Jiang's face was extremely ugly. According to the meaning of Yinhua's words, Jiang Youyao was clearly dissatisfied with the yuan family, so she wanted to go to the Ji family to find comfort. Such a young lady is... Stupid!

Lu Shi also followed, "young Yao is really too arrogant. How can she think that the government will lock her up for a lifetime? It's just that it's the storm recently. If she goes out, it's not good. It's better to stay in the government and avoid the spotlight. How can you be kind as a donkey's liver and lungs, so you don't know people clearly."

"Enough! Say less!" Old lady Jiang said angrily, and Lu immediately stopped talking. Mrs. Jiang said again, "find the boss for me. If something like this happens, he must go to the Ji family immediately! The miss of the Jiang family lives in the Ji family. What does it look like when it comes out!"

Originally, the Jiang family has become a popular topic in Yanjing city because of Ji shuran. If Jiang Youyao went to the Ji family again, what would others think? Although Mr. Jiang kept saying that Jiang Youyao was stupid, he grew up in front of her in the end, and the grandson friendship was not hypocritical. Jiang Youyao acts like this. In the eyes of outsiders, she will only feel that those rumors are true. If Jiang Youyao is really the adulterer of Ji shuran and the foreign man, Jiang Youyao is really ruined!

Seeing the movement of old lady Jiang, Jiang Li sighed slightly in her heart. Jiang Youyao made so many mistakes, and old lady Jiang was still not completely disappointed with her. She was originally a great identity, but she was irretrievably made by this stupid woman. It can be seen that people have to go their own way in the end.

Jiang Jingrui casually said, "who else do you want? If she wants to go back to Ji's house, she can go back to Ji's house! It's good that we don't have a mouth to eat at home."

Lu Shi hurriedly pulled Jiang Jingrui. Although she thought so in her heart, looking at the look of old lady Jiang, she obviously didn't intend to let Jiang Youyao live in Ji's house all the time. The old lady was already very angry. Jiang Jingrui added fuel to the fire at this time, which was not a good thing.

Jiang Yuanbai got the news when he left the court, and hurried to hear about it. His face was livid. Without saying a word, he took someone to the Ji family to be important.

Jiang Jingrui came out of the evening Phoenix hall, bit her ear with Jiang Li and said, "do you guess Jiang Youyao will come back with her uncle?"

"Of course."

"Why?" Jiang Jingrui seemed very disappointed and said, "don't the Ji family keep her? At least she is also the grandson of the Ji family."

Jiang Li said, "you also know it's your grandson. The Ji family is in the wrong about Ji shuran and won't say much to the Jiang family. Besides, Jiang Youyao's staying at the Ji family is not a good thing for her. Only letting her return to the Jiang family is the best result for each other. As for Jiang Youyao's own will, is it important?"

Jiang Jingrui scratched his head and finally said, "yes, her wishes are not very smart anyway."

Jiang Li went to Fangfei garden. On the first day of the new year, she didn't expect Jiang Youyao to give the whole yuan family such a big surprise, which Jiang Li didn't expect. It's impossible to say that when Zhao Ke took her away from the "back door" of the Jiang family last night, Jiang Youyao was also sneaking away from the front door.

It's just... Jiang Youyao will face more trouble when she goes back to the government next. At least for her sudden loss of her mother, Jiang Yuanbai and Jiang Laofu's few regrets must disappear at the moment.

Jiang Youyao did not rely on it.

In the afternoon, Jiang Yuanbai came back with people. Jiang Li was in Fangfei garden. She thought she would see an angry Jiang Youyao. She didn't expect tong'er to run from the outside in a hurry. As soon as she entered the door, she covered the door and said to the inexplicable snow white and Jiang Li, "something serious has happened!"

"What?" Jiang Li asked. In the final analysis, it's really not a big deal that "big things happen" every once in a while in this house. As for Jiang Youyao, Jiang Li doesn't think she can afford much trouble now.

"The master took people to the Ji family to find the third lady at noon, and now he came back empty handed. The maid thought it was the third lady who insisted on staying in the Ji family, but later outside the Wanfeng hall, she heard that the old lady was very angry, and the second master also advised the master that the priority was to find someone quickly." After a pause, she said, "miss three didn't go to Ji's house, and she disappeared!"

"Didn't go to Ji's house?" At this moment, Jiang Li's eyes coagulated. Jiang Youyao's argument about how smart she is may not even compare with Jiang yu'e. If you don't go to Ji's house, where else can you go in Yanjing city... Is it to find Jiang yu'e, or Zhou Yanbang? After all, according to Jiang Youyao's temperament, in the world, apart from the Ji family, the only person she can trust most is Zhou Yanbang, the prince of Ningyuan, right?

White snow also thought of going with Jiang Li, and asked, "the third Miss won't go to Ningyuan Hou mansion, will she?"

"Maybe, but if you really want to go to the Marquis mansion in Ningyuan, the Marquis mansion will soon send someone to inform you."

"Why?" Tong'er said, "so anxious to protect yourself?"

"Shen Ruyun is going to marry to the Marquis of Ningyuan soon," Jiang lihun smiled carelessly. "Shen Ruyun's brother Shen Yurong is a protector, so he must have greeted the Zhou family before this. How dare the Zhou family neglect Jiang Youyao? What's the matter with Jiang Youyao's appearance? Besides, now Jiang Youyao has a bad reputation, and the Zhou family is afraid of Zhou Yanbang and Jiang Youyao's relationship, so it's too late to avoid."

"So, as long as the third young lady goes to the Marquis of Ningyuan, our family will soon know?" Tong'er asked.

Jiang Li nodded, "so don't worry too much. Although Yanjing city is big, her father didn't report to the official on the surface. As long as Jiang Youyao doesn't encounter bad people, he can quickly find out his whereabouts if he meets bad people." She turned around and said faintly, "we just have to wait and see what happens."

This is Jiang Li's idea. She is sure that Jiang Youyao will not go far. Apart from other conditions, Jiang Youyao alone is not a hard-working nature. I'm afraid I'll regret staying outside for half a day.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Li's idea turned out to be wrong.

At night, there was still no news of Jiang Youyao. Tong'er secretly inquired about the familiar servant girl, and heard that Jiang Yuanbai also went to Ningyuan Hou mansion to find someone, but still got nothing. The people sent out to track down Jiang Youyao did not find any trace of Jiang Youyao. A good person, like disappeared out of thin air. Mrs. Jiang has discussed with Jiang Yuanbai whether to report to the government, but once she reports to the government, her statement to Jiang Youyao is really damaging.

After a long dispute, Lu and Jiang Yuanping joined in and finally decided to report to the official tomorrow morning. Fame is important, but life comes first.

Tong'er and Bai Xue talked a few words and went out. Jiang Li collapsed and blew out the light, but they couldn't sleep. Thinking about Jiang Youyao, I always feel strange.

How can such a big person disappear for no reason. If you walk in the street, it is naturally easy to be found, and no one who knows the official dare to hide her. Even Jiang Yuanbai sent people to the teahouse brothel to see if they were caught by traffickers, but there was no result. There was no news of Jiang Youyao in the mark of leaving the city gate. Could it be... Who hid her?

Jiang Li thought hard, and finally did not come up with a result. He rolled over and closed his eyes. Let's talk about tomorrow. Let's ask Jiang Yuanbai to report to the official and ask someone to look for it again. If you can't find... If you can't find it, ask Zhao Ke.

Maybe he can know.

……

Early the next morning, when Jiang Li went out of Fangfei garden to greet old lady Jiang, he really didn't see the shadow of Jiang Yuanbai. He should have taken someone to report to the official. Lu Shi was also there, but not as shrewd as usual. He sat quietly aside and shook his head at Jiang Li, as if he were warning Jiang Li not to make the old lady angry and just watch it change.

Mrs. Jiang is probably really angry. Before Ji shuran's incident, Jiang Youyao has another wave. The Jiang family is really going to become the laughing stock of Yanjing city.

The atmosphere of Wanfeng hall was very silent. At this time, feicui suddenly came in, holding a post in his hand, and sent the post to Mrs. Jiang, saying, "old lady, the mother of zhongshushelang sent the post."

Zhongshu Shirang? Jiang Li's heart moved, Shen family? She couldn't help looking up at the post in Mrs. Jiang's hand.

After reading the post quickly, Mrs. Jiang seemed a little tired and said, "go back. I'd better avoid going out these days and have little contact with Shen Jiaben. There's also the matter of five girls. It's embarrassing to go." At a glance, I saw Jiang Li staring at the post in her hand.

Jiang Li came from the Jiang mansion and was indifferent to everything. Whether it was jewelry or silk, I gave her a smile, but I didn't look too happy. This look of no desire and no desire is gratifying, but also a little uneasy, especially for the old woman and Jiang Yuanbai who want to compensate Jiang Li for her past grievances. At this meeting, old lady Jiang suddenly saw Jiang Li's rare appearance of interest, thought for a moment, and said, "second girl, do you want to go?"

Jiang Li was stunned. Lu Shi also looked at her. Jiang Li smiled slightly, "it's just a little curious." Although he said so, his eyes still looked at the post.

Mrs. Jiang immediately understood it, considered it for a moment, and said, "in that case, I'll take this post. Since they invited, it seems that my yuan family is not confident enough not to go. It was nothing, but I don't know what they said behind their back. Two days later, er wench, you also dress up and go to the dinner with me."

Lu Shiqi said, "why did the Shen family hold a banquet?"

Mrs. Jiang glanced at her: "Miss Shen is going to get married, and she will enter the gate of Ningyuan Marquis house in ten days. A banquet will be held before her marriage."

Shen family Ding Danbo, Shen mother has only one son and one daughter, Shen Yurong has not yet renewed his string, and Shen Ruyun is going to get married, which is about a major event for the Shen family.

Lu nodded and said, "let's dress up that day, now..." she smiled, and the rest of the words didn't go on, and Jiang Li knew what she wanted to say. Now I have reached the age of marriage, not to mention how the marriage is, at least I have to start choosing others.

But it's not a good time now. After all, so many things have happened to the Jiang family. But for Jiang Li, it is exactly what she wants. She doesn't want to get married, she just wants revenge. Trapped in the backyard, how can I do what I want to do.

She can't wait to get married.

But the old lady began to seriously consider Lu's words. Before, she was deceived by Ji shuran, and Jiang Li's marriage was delayed. Later, she was confused by Jiang yu'e. although it now seems that the marriage of the Marquis of Ningyuan is not very good, and Zhou Yanbang is by no means a good match. But Jiang Li was wronged in the end.

It's time to have a look at the young talents of the right age in Yanjing city. This time, you should also see a lot of Shen Fu's banquet. If you see something good, ask someone to inquire. Old lady Jiang pondered.

But I didn't find that the corners of Jiang Li's smiling mouth had already sunk unconsciously.

……

In the two days after leaving the Shen family for the banquet, the people in the government office still failed to find the whereabouts of Jiang Youyao. Because Jiang Yuanbai said hello to the people in the yamen, he didn't release Jiang Youyao's name, and his reputation was preserved. At least now, no one except the people in the Yamen knows the fact that Jiang Youyao is missing.

Jiang Yuanbai's face is getting worse day by day. Jiang LiXiao is actually worried about Jiang Yuanbai. After all, she is his own daughter. No matter how angry and disappointed, when it comes to such a juncture, I can't help worrying. But this will not change anything for Jiang Li.

On the day of going to Shen's house for dinner, early in the morning, Mrs. Jiang asked pearl to send her jewelry.

I made several new clothes at the end of the new year, but I haven't had time to wear them yet. Now I can wear them. The jewelry sent by Mrs. Jiang is also really generous and dazzling. Tong'er picked the jewelry matching her clothes and put it on Jiang Li. She combed Jiang Li's hair carefully and applied a little powder. Everything was surprisingly good.

"The girl hasn't been to a banquet for a long time these days. She just took advantage of this opportunity to surprise others." Tong'er seemed never to know how to write the word modesty, and said proudly, "compare other young ladies, and let them see it with surprise!"

Jiang Li smiled, noncommittal. She went back to the Shen family to find some more evidence. Although the evidence she could find was too slim, the Shen family must clean up all traces after Xue Fangfei's death. Shenyurong is careful and will not leave any handle.

But she still wants to have a look.

After leaving the yard, Mrs. Jiang and her party had already been there. Lu Shi didn't bring Jiang Jingrui and Jiang Jingyou. Jiang Jingyou wanted to study. Jiang Jingrui was too skinny. Lu Shi was afraid that he would make a mess at the party. There are also some aristocratic family ladies here today. If something goes wrong, it's not good. Lu Shi also came to the banquet with the feeling of choosing his daughter-in-law. As for Sanfang, Mrs. Jiang also sent someone to ask. Yang said he was not in good health recently, and declined politely. Mrs. Jiang admitted that she had done everything she could. Yang didn't appreciate it, and she didn't have to persuade again.

In this way, only Mrs. Jiang, Lu and Jiang Li went to the banquet.

Fortunately, Lu and Jiang Li had a good relationship. They also picked up words with Jiang Li along the way, and the atmosphere was also harmonious. It's just that Jiang Li has something in her heart, which inevitably makes her a little absent-minded. Lu Shi thought she didn't rest well last night, so he let her rest against the carriage for a while, and called her when she arrived.

Jiang Li leaned against the carriage and closed her eyes, but she couldn't sleep. Her thoughts were chaotic, and her mind was full of all kinds of things in the Shen family in the past. Now, she will revisit the place where she lost her life, deceived her, hurt her, murdered her, and buried the children she once had. After all, she will go again.

Before long, the carriage stopped, and Lu shook Jiang Li: "ah Li, here it is."

Jiang Li opened her eyes and jumped out of the carriage with Lu.

The door of Shen's house is still the same as in the past. The golden plaque with the words "No. 1 scholar and" is still fresh, as if it had been quietly wiped every day, and there is no dust. The boy of the porter even looks familiar with Jiang Li, but the clothes he wears are much richer than in the past.

Jiang Li held Mrs. Jiang's hand and handed the post to the porter. The porter respectfully stepped aside and welcomed the people in. She didn't find the girl in front of her, who had lived in the house for three years in the past.

Who can think of it? No one can think of it.

As soon as he entered the door, he was full of elegance. Lu Shi said, "it seems that Lord Shen is also elegant. There is a lot of literati charm in the house."

The Jiang family is also a family of literary ministers. Scholars always cherish each other. Jiang Li's eyes became cold, and the Shen family looked really elegant. They knew books and etiquette, but no one knew the wolf ambition of this modest gentleman.

When I arrived at the yard, I found that many ladies had come. There are also some young masters. The young masters of the official family came less. Jiang Li saw catkins. Liu Xu and Mrs. Liu also came to the banquet. Seeing Jiang Li, Liu Xu ran all the way excitedly and said, "I saw you!"

Speaking of it, Jiang Li has rarely seen catkins since she returned to Yanjing city from Tongxiang. She no longer went to guangwentang, and the Jiang family had accidents one after another. In addition to visiting Xue Huaiyuan at the Ye family every other time, she no longer walked around. Liu Xu took her hand and sat down beside Mrs. Liu. Seeing that she was talking to her familiar little sister, Mrs. Jiang followed her.

Liu Xu said, "are you all right? How long have I not seen you? Two months or three months? I originally wanted to post to your house before, but I heard that the Jiang family is not peaceful these days, so it's not good to visit rashly. I want to ask you to come out to find me, but I'm afraid you can't go out. I didn't expect to see you here today."

Jiang Li smiled: "a lot has happened recently, but it's all over."

Liu Xu looked at Jiang Li. Seeing that she didn't look fake and didn't look haggard and thin, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "it's good to pass by. I'm relieved to see you like this. Why is it that only you come today and don't see Jiang Youyao?"

Outsiders did not know that Jiang Youyao was missing. Jiang Li laughed and said, "she is in the house and is forbidden."

Willow catkins said, "her temper must be looking for trouble at home again. It's better if she doesn't come. When she comes, I'm really afraid she'll trouble you."

"Thanks a lot." Jiang Li also smiled and looked at catkins, "haven't you been doing anything lately?"

Catkins said, "nothing." At this point, it seems that there is something difficult to hide, squeaking. Seeing this, Jiang Li asked softly, "but what's wrong?"

Willow catkins glanced at her and sighed helplessly, "my father said it was time to see each other for me. My mother also came to the banquet today to see if there was a suitable candidate. God knows I don't want to marry at all. What's the good of marrying?" She said, looking at Jiang Li, her eyes lit up, and said, "speaking of it, you should also come to the banquet because of this? You are the same age as me, and the yuan family should have looked at others for you!"

"Maybe." Jiang Li smiles.

"Why don't you take it to heart at all," Liu Xu looked at her suspiciously, "neither shy nor afraid, as if talking about other people's things."

"Me?" Jiang Li looked back and said with a smile, "like you, I didn't want to marry. But this kind of thing is not my the final say. It's better to relax than worry for nothing."

Liu Xu also sighed when he heard the speech and said, "who let us be women, but it's much harder than men."

Jiang Li raised her eyes to look at other places. The people who came today also had Ji's family. Chen Ji's family was also there. After only saying hello to Mrs. Jiang, she sat far away at the other end. Because of Ji shuran, the relationship between the Ji family and the Jiang family is also very embarrassing. But it's hard to say.

In addition, Jiang Li also saw the people of Youxiang Li's family. Li Xian and Li Lian unexpectedly also came, but when you think about it, Shen Yurong has already colluded with Cheng Wang since he has so voted for Cheng Wang. Shenyurong and Youxiang are partners. Jiang Li noticed that many of the young ladies present were looking at Li Xian's brother.

Li Xian and Li Lian are both born talents. Li Xian, in particular, is young, talented and official. Although Li Lian looks like a dandy, his good skin and status still make many girls moved. The two brothers are still unmarried now. They are regarded as the hot cakes in Yanjing's expensive female circle. They just choose marriage. Or they are very open-minded families, which are all governed by their children's preferences. Or the more noble the position is, the more important it is to pay attention to being a good match. If others pick on the Li family, it is only when the Li family looks up to them.

Old lady Jiang also noticed this, and couldn't help looking at Jiang Li's side. Seeing that Jiang Li only talked with catkins, she didn't look at Li Xian's brothers, so she was relieved. Brother Li Xian is good, but the Li family and the Jiang family are sworn enemies. If Jiang Li also likes the Li family brothers, he must not succeed. Fortunately, Jiang Li didn't seem to like them.

The young ladies who come and go today are far away from Jiang Li. Although the crime of killing mother and brother has disappeared, there have been so many messy things in the yuan family recently that everyone is willing to stay away from right and wrong and is unwilling to be involved with the yuan family. Jiang Li is also happy to be quiet.

Just talking with Liu Xu, Liu Xu suddenly said, "Hey, I didn't expect Mr. Xiao to come."

Jiang Li raised her eyes and saw that Xiao Deyin was wearing a wide purple dress, with floating clothes, coming leisurely. She used to look gentle and elegant, and now she is the same. Among the girls younger than her, there is a unique beauty instead of being compared.

Many of the noble girls here are also female students of Mingyi hall. They immediately greeted Xiao Deyin warmly. Xiao Deyin received it with a smile. When she came to Jiang Li and Liu Xu, Jiang Li and Liu Xu also got up to salute her.

Xiao Deyin seemed surprised that Jiang Li was here and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to come too. I haven't seen you in Mingyi Hall these days. I heard that you were suffering from the cold, but it's ok?"

She didn't mention those things of the yuan family at all, as if she had considered Jiang Li very thoroughly. Jiang Li also thanked Xiao Deyin for his question mark. After Xiao Deyin left, Liu Xu sighed, "among the gentlemen in mingyitang, only Mr. Xiao is the most gentle."

Jiang Li smiled, noncommittal. She once thought that Xiao Deyin was the most gentle one. After all, if she could have such a moving piano sound, she must be a clever person. But the truth is ugly, and the truth is chilling.

After sitting for a while, the host's house finally came out. Shen mother and Shen Ruyun came out first, and Shen Yurong came out later. Shen's mother took Shen Ruyun to meet the ladies. Shen Ruyun was wearing a rose purple peony pattern brocade gown and a Feizi long skirt, which was very gorgeous. She is also carefully decorated today. I don't know if it's because she will soon marry into the Marquis of Ningyuan and get what she wants. She looks particularly charming.

Shen Yurong came out later. As soon as he came out, the eyes of many noble women glued to the Li brothers suddenly turned to Shen Yurong. Such a talented young man, a promising little Lord Shen, even if it's just?, That's what others are fighting for. Besides, this man is still a lover. His wife still sticks to him after such a scandal. Women in the world all hope that their husband is a affectionate person. Shen Yurong can't find any shortcomings except for his poor family background.

Shen's mother's face couldn't help showing a little complacency. She likes the feeling of the stars and the moon very much. Anyone who comes to your house today would have to look up to each other a few years ago. Now these people praise her children and chase her, but they make her feel that all the suffering in the past is worth it. Even if it's just for this moment of vanity.

Jiang Li has a panoramic view of Shen's mother's expression. She has been a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with this person for three years. She already knows what Shen's mother is thinking. She couldn't help laughing sarcastically in her heart, which was Shen Yurong's promotion and wealth. She became a superior mother, but her vanity and philistine in her bones were no different from before, and even more explicit than before.

The family banquet in Shen's house was about to begin, and everyone sat down at the table. The maid brought plates of exquisite dishes. I haven't seen them for a long time. There were many servants in the Shen family, and even the taste of the food changed. Jiang Li thought in a daze.

At that time, when she married to the Shen family, the Shen family didn't have much money, and they lived on Shen Yurong's writing outside and Xue Fangfei's dowry. She is careful, but her daily meals can't be too simple. Even so, Shen Ruyun and Shen's mother always dislike her for not living.

At present, the Shen family seems to have no shortage of silver. They all have big fish and meat and have a big feast. I don't know how much silver in it is given by Princess Yongning.

Jiang Li had just thought of this, when she heard the servant of the Shenfu inform her that Princess Yongning had arrived.

Everyone at the banquet was surprised. How could Princess Yongning suddenly come?

Jiang Li tugged at the corners of her mouth, and Princess Yongning would certainly come. As long as there is Shen Yurong, she will follow without hesitation. It used to be all right, but the enthusiasm for the Tongxiang case has not yet completely subsided, and the rumors of the people behind Feng Yutang have not been cleared up. Princess Yongning should keep a distance from the Shen family. I'm afraid Shen Yurong won't be very happy to come now.

She looked at Shen Yurong on the other side of the table quietly.

Shenyurong smiled at the corners of his mouth, and was listening to what his colleagues were saying, glancing casually at the entrance of the garden. In that eye, Jiang Li clearly saw anxiety and unhappiness.

He and Princess Yongning really had differences.

Yongning is wayward and sticky. Shen Yurong is sticky and tight. He doesn't want to separate for a moment. However, in Shen Yurong's heart, staying with Yongning is obviously not the first. At this time, with Shen Yurong's temperament, he will only try to avoid suspicion. Yongning's posting so Baba will only make Shen Yurong angry.

Jiang Li raised the teacup in front of her, took a sip, and smiled softly.

"I didn't expect the princess to come suddenly." Willow catkins sit beside Jiang Li and talk to Jiang Li secretly.

At this time, Princess Yongning also came in with the boy who led the way.

Today, Shen's mother gave a banquet for Shen Ruyun, but Princess Yongning was even more gorgeous than Shen Ruyun. She wore a scarlet Pearl Flower bra, a bird painted flower dress, and her hair was tied into a golden eight treasures bun, which was very dazzling. Her lips were ruddy, her smile was charming, and she said, "when I passed by accidentally, I heard the excitement in the palace, so I knew that there was a banquet inside. Come in and have a look, will Mrs. Shen mind?"

"Where is it?" Shen mother said with a smile, "Your Highness Royal Highness Princess is willing to come, and your house is full of splendor."

Princess Yongning said, "Mrs. Shen, you're welcome. You don't have to care about this palace, just like before." She naturally sat beside Shen Ruyun.

Shen Ruyun, as if he had received great glory, straightened his body and held his head high.

In Jiang Li's eyes, there is a disgusting nausea.

"The Shen family looks like a hurry to curry favor," Liu Xu said in a low voice, "Lord Shen looks like a noble person, how can this family..."

"Know people, know faces, but don't know hearts." Jiang Li only said one word. After all, she knows best whether Shen Yurong is really noble or not.

Princess Yongning glanced at Shen Yurong as if nothing had happened. Shen Yurong didn't notice her. A trace of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and then she quickly disappeared. The ladies at the same table laughed calmly.

There are many people who flatter Princess Yongning. Old lady Jiang and Lu Shi sat motionless, and did not even take the initiative to say hello to Princess Yongning. Princess Yongning is the sister of King Cheng, who colludes with Youxiang, who is opposite to the Jiang family. Naturally, there is nothing to say.

The dinner also seemed to be a feast for both the host and the guest. The ladies were busy chatting, looking at each other and fawning. After eating, watch the snow in the courtyard.

Although it hasn't snowed today, Shen Fu is elegant and has specially repaired the snow Pavilion. A long corridor Pavilion is also a scenery. Liu Xu was a little lacking in interest. Other young ladies walked around the yard with Shen Ruyun, but Liu Xu didn't like to take part in the excitement. He took Jiang Li and wandered alone in the garden.

After wandering for a while, Liu Xu was going to Jingfang. Jiang Li was waiting for her outside. She also walked around at will. Suddenly, she saw an open room with a piano on the table.

This ancient Qin is very precious at first sight, but it should be used by women. It is very thin and light. Flowers and birds are also carved under the surface. When she was xuefangfei, she had brought a piano, which Xue Zhao gave her. Finally, it was burned with her death. Shen Yurong would never use her daughter's piano when she played it. Jiang Li knew from the first moment she saw it that it was a gift from Princess Yongning.

Princess Yongning can also play the piano. Although her piano skills may not be exquisite, there are many people in the world who pursue and applaud her. Jiang Li walked into the room, came to the square piano, reached out and touched the piano face. The precious piano, which probably didn't feel rough, was completely different and exquisite. She could think that maybe in the past, Shen Yurong was sitting here, watching Princess Yongning play the piano, maybe he should, maybe he just looked at it with a smile. Thinking about it, Jiang Li felt a burst of nausea.

But she sat down.

Without burning incense or bathing her hands, she tried it and plucked it up directly.

She played "Guan last month".

The sound of the piano was melodious, and gradually spread far away. The Shen mansion was not as big as the state mansion. Naturally, the sound of the piano would not disappear halfway, and gradually spread to the pavilion.

At first, no one noticed, thinking that it was a zither player. Gradually, the listeners were also attracted to pay attention, and there was humanity: "which zither player is this? Like Guan last month, such zither music can also be played wonderfully, this... Who is playing this?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Xiao, don't you know how to play the piano? The sound of the piano can already be called excellent?" Someone asked.

Suddenly someone asked Xiao Deyin. Xiao Deyin was in a daze, and she didn't return to her mind for a moment. She saw someone gently pull her sleeve, "Mr. Xiao, what's the matter with you?"

Xiao Deyin regained consciousness, reluctantly smiled and replied, "well, the conversation was excellent." No one found that her palm was full of sweat at the moment.

Others can only hear the sound of the piano, but can't hear the heart of the piano, but she clearly feels that the person who plays the piano is so familiar, as if it was that person, that person who should not exist... Xue Fangfei?

How is this possible!

Xue Fangfei is dead. The person who plays the piano must have the same sound as Xue Fangfei. She made a mistake. Thinking like this, Xiao Deyin couldn't wait to ask Shen's mother and said, "madam, who played the piano sound in your house? Can you invite me to have a talk?"

Shen's mother was also confused and said, "zither player? Our family has never invited a zither player."

"Who is the player who hasn't invited a zither player?" The crowd was surprised, "can't it be any lady among the guests?"

Shen Ruyun happened to be there. She thought for a moment and said, "there is only one piano in the house, which belongs to the eldest brother and is placed in the teahouse in the west garden. If someone plays the piano in our house, he can only play that piano. As long as someone is sent to have a look, he will know who it is. You don't have to worry, I'll send someone to see who the player is and invite him to come." After saying this, he ordered the servant girl to go.

"Guan last month" still didn't stop. The more it played to the excitement, the more it tasted. Someone couldn't help saying, "the sound of the piano is the same as that of Mr. Xiao."

Hearing the speech, Xiao Deyin felt angry. Once upon a time, the whole Yanjing City regarded her as the first zither player, especially after Jinghong fairy got married, she had no match. But in just half a year, first Jiang Li, then this inexplicable person, her first zither player, as if everyone could do it!

In addition to anger, there was deep fear in Xiao Deyin's heart.

It's so similar.

She still remembers the first time she listened to Xue Fangfei play Guan last month. She was surprised and refused to believe that someone in the world could play it to such a state. At that time, she also hated to find that her piano skills were indeed not as good as Xue Fangfei.

Fortunately, Xue Fangfei died.

But who is this man?

The servant girl who was ordered by Shen Ruyun to find the player came to the room in the west garden, and the player stopped at some time. The little servant girl came into the room and saw the precious flower and bird piano end on the table. It seemed that no one had ever come.

There was only a faint fragrance in the air.
