: The difference between heaven and earth

The complexion is very good, white and red, like the crabapple flowers that are about to bloom on the branches.

Although the furnishings of the Lanyan Pavilion are not as magnificent as the imperial palace, they are the best among the children of aristocratic families.

The maid B used the right strength to dry the wet hair for Su Wunian and sat upright in front of the carved bronze mirror. Su Wunian's eyes swept over the long green hair as silk, and then looked at the corners of her eyes as smooth as jade. The red lips of the crabapple rose slightly after the rain.

The pearl curtains were green, and Madam Jiang led the maids all the way into the line, holding a golden lacquer carved food plate in her hands. The maids placed the food on the plate on the table in an orderly manner, and each dish was according to Chen Shengge's preference. Placed from near to far.

Zhang Zhilan came in with a high-end snow-white fox leather cloak in his hand, walked around the screen, covered the cloak lightly on Su Wunian's shoulder, and smiled gently, "Be careful to catch a cold."

At the table, Zhang Zhilan was personally chanting dishes for Su Wu, while asking carefully: "Last night..."

“What exactly happened?”

"Last night?" Su Wunian had already thought about it before returning to Shen Mansion. She only needed to play a frightened girl. At this moment, the expression of recalling bad things appeared on her face, "I woke up last night. When I came, I found someone tied to an abandoned house. I cut the rope with my hairpin and escaped."

"Do you know who tied you up?"

Su Wunian shook his head innocently.

"No one guards outside the house?"

Su Wunian continued to shake her head.

"Where is Sui Qing?"

Su Wunian still shook her head. She didn't see Sui Qing at Shouyue Peak last night, and she didn't see Sui Qing when she came back, so she really didn't know Sui Qing's whereabouts.

"Madam, the second lady is here." Madam Jiang came in to report.

Zhang Zhilan's eyes signaled, and Madam Jiang left the room, and then the twelve-year-old girl wearing a white embroidered maple-patterned brocade dress slowly came in, with a slender and delicate look, her shoulders were shaved, and her waist was as simple as a flattering one, as if she was pretty. Little fox. He wore a few minimalist pearl hairpins on his bun, which were simple and elegant without losing his uniqueness, and his eyebrows were somewhat similar to Zhang Zhilan.

The second lady Chen Shengge regarded her as the target of favor, and was Zhang Zhilan's biological daughter, and now the second daughter of the Shen family.

After the salute, the second lady Chen Mengli Fengchi said with concern: "I heard that after I returned home, I was probably quite frightened and didn't say a word. My grandmother asked my sister to come and talk to her with her."

"Sit down." Zhang Zhilan said in a weak expression, and his sense of closeness and distantness was particularly clear.

Su Wunian was puzzled, why did Zhang Zhilan so distant to her biological daughter, but she was particularly generous to Chen Shengge, who was not his biological child, and her maternal love was flooded?

Chen Mengli slightly supported her behind her, sat down gracefully, and behaved appropriately, and raised her hands and feet. She was quite handsome.

Su Wunian searched for Chen Shengge's memories in her mind. Chen Shengge and Chen Mengli were completely different. Everyone praised Chen Mengli for being knowledgeable and polite, gentle and quiet, and both talented and beautiful. When she was Shen Shengge, she sneered and relied on her as the Empress Dowager's cousin, she was arrogant and domineering and lawless.

The noble daughters of famous families in the imperial capital are avoided by fear that they will affect their reputation. People are scolded for being close to the red and those who are close to the black.

But Chen Shengge was indeed extremely stupid. He was deceived by his personal maid and went to the palace to pay his respects, almost causing a big disaster. He was instigated by Sui Qing and went out early in the morning, so the people in the Chen Mansion did not notice anything wrong with her.

Who is the person behind Sui Qing?

Chen Shengge was notorious in the imperial capital, so he had no friends. His biological mother was unconscious and was not very close to his grandfather's family. Only those who could have conflicts of interest with him were the people in the inner house of Chen's mansion.

Su Wunian is accustomed to these methods of being pickled in the inner house and even sneered at them. They are all short-sighted women in the back house who are trapped in a small space all their lives and have never seen the mountains and the seas and the magnificent mountains and rivers.

In power for ten years, Su Wunian encouraged women to enter the officialdom and promoted equality between men and women, and the status of women in the Qingyuan Kingdom was improved. However, the idea of ​​men being superior to women is deeply rooted, and many women would rather be trapped in the back house and be willing to become gold. The bird in the silk cage is determined to be in a small way and refuses to throw away the shackles of taking care of his husband and children.

Thinking that she was no longer at the peak of power, Empress Dowager Su should not give in to the country, but just the eldest daughter of the prime minister's mansion, Chen Shengge. After clearing the trash, Su Wunian just wanted to lie flat and spend the rest of her life freely.

After today, she is not Su Wunian, but just Shen Shengge.

"Who wants to be unfavorable to you? Although the prime minister disagrees with people and political parties in the officialdom, he will not kidnap you or endanger your life." Zhang Zhilan analyzed carefully.

"The person who kidnapped me did not seem to be planning to be unfavorable to me, so I easily escaped." Su Wunian finally spoke, neither slow nor anxious, "Maybe, the other party just wanted to warn my father with this."

The implication is that the person who kidnapped her is probably the prime minister’s political enemy in the officialdom.

Zhang Zhilan fell into deep thought and secretly analyzed the rationality of what Su Wunian said.

"Can the elder sister caused trouble when she did what she did in the Palace of Paradise yesterday?" Chen Mengli said gently with a crisp silver bell-like voice.

Zhang Zhilan put his eyes on Su Wunian again, thinking about something.

"By the way to the palace yesterday, I always felt dizzy and fell asleep later." Su Wunian put down the silver chopsticks carved in his hand, imitating Chen Shengge's usual words, "I didn't expect that As soon as I fell asleep, I slept for a whole day. When I woke up, my whole body was exhausted and my hands seemed to be dislocated."

"This is really abnormal. I can't sleep all day in the carriage."

"I really don't remember what happened yesterday?" Chen Mengli asked half-believingly.

"What happened yesterday? What happened after I fell asleep yesterday?" Su Wunian blinked his innocent big eyes and pretended not to know.

"you--"

Chen Mengli's words were interrupted by Zhang Zhilan, "Okay, your elder sister was frightened last night. After the meal, she went to her grandmother's place to report her safety and needed a good rest."

"Yes." Chen Mengli lowered her head slightly, and a trace of intriguing emotion flashed in her eyes.

"Madam." Madam Jiang came in with a curtain, but she wanted to speak but stopped.

"What's the matter?"

Madam Jiang's eyes swept through Su Wunian's direction, bowed her head and whispered something to Zhang Zhilan.

Zhang Zhilan's expression was solemn, and he took Su Wunian's little hand kindly, "I have found Sui Qing."

"Where is she?" Su Wunian inadvertently pulled her hand away from Zhang Zhilan's palm.

"It's only one street from the place where you were kidnapped last night. It was found in an abandoned pile of grass. When it was found, the body was already stiff." Zhang Zhilan covered his heart with his hands, "It can be seen that the other party was not just trying to warn the prime minister, Fortunately, you escaped, and I am afraid of it when I think about it now."

As he said that, he was about to hold Su Wunian's little hand again. Su Wunian realized this and stood up with a "scarlet" sound, slapped his palm on the table, pretending to be angry, "Who is it?!

Dare to kill Sui Qing!”

Zhang Zhilan and Shen Mengli were both frightened by Su Wunian's sudden actions, and their shoulders shrank.

Su Wunian shouted in her heart: You really don’t want to hold my little hand anymore, I really tied it up.
