Chapter 247 Conspiracy
Just as Lin Suisui had guessed before, from the next day onwards, Su Le and the others were keenly aware that there were many new faces outside the house that were sneaking around and snooping.
However, with Lu Ze explaining in advance, Su Le and the others did not react to the prying eyes from outside until the day they agreed to go to the Plum Appreciation Banquet.
The Xishan Plum Garden is also a scenic spot in Yunshan City. It is located halfway up the Xishan Mountain, and the top of the mountain is the Hanyun Temple, which is very popular in the north. Because hot springs were discovered in this mountain area, it was later included in Yunshan City.
All the noble families built Zhuangzi mansions there.
It’s just that the plum garden where General Zhenbei’s wife held a banquet today is not the private property of any family, but belongs to the outer courtyard of Hanshan Temple. Before, it was just a few plants planted by monks in the mountains at will. They just planted willows unintentionally.
After the plum garden gradually became famous, Monk Kongyun, the abbot of Hanshan Temple, decided to build this plum garden.
However, it is said to be a plum garden, but it is not enclosed by walls, which means that all living beings are equal. No matter rich or poor, anyone can enter this plum forest to stroll and enjoy the flowers.
The carriages of Lin Suisui and Lu Ze left the city early in the morning, and, guarded by the surrounding Qingqi, drove towards the Meiyuan with great fanfare.
There was quite a lot of movement along the way, and almost everyone in Yunshan City knew about it before they even left the city.
When the news reached Meiyuan, Pei Chaoyue was sitting at the top with an arrogant look on her face, making trouble with the old Princess Huaiyang who was sitting at the bottom, who was obviously older than her.
"I know what you are thinking, old princess, but you don't even look at who the person who ordered the annihilation of the Ma family is! That is my nephew, do you really not care about the safety of my aunt?!
Also, what are those from the Ma family and Zhou family?! They are just dogs raised by our Zhenbei General Mansion!
It’s hard to find people these days, so are there still a shortage of dogs?!”
Pei Chaoyue stared at the old Princess Huaiyang who was shrinking and wanted to hide but had nowhere to hide. The contempt in her eyes was even worse: "Why, do you think that if she, a yellow-haired girl, can climb on top of me, you can too?!
What else does your Huaiyang Palace have?!
It’s just a has-been royal family with an empty name!
If you are wise and listen to my instructions, I will definitely help the princess find a good guest in the future! At that time, the princess can also return to the capital, which is better than staying in this remote place in the north!
"
"Mrs. Pei, I only have a granddaughter named Ning Fu. At the moment, I don't have anything else to pray for. I just hope that she can have a good home! If Madam is willing to help, then I will definitely obey her life."
The old princess of Huaiyang thought about it for a while, but finally got up and bowed to Pei Chaoyue.
Although Pei Chaoyue said something arrogant, at least one thing was right. Even if she lost the Zhenbei General's Mansion, she would still have the Pei family, the empress in the palace, and the fourth prince to rely on, which was better than that arrogant one.
This little girl who doesn't know etiquette needs to be much stronger!
What's more, her nephew Prince Pei is still in Yunshan City at the moment. Now is not the time to offend her.
"Then the things I told you to prepare before are all ready?!"
After hearing the promise from the old princess of Huaiyang, the violent look on Pei Chaoyue's face barely dissipated. She stared at the old princess of Huaiyang: "It has just snowed now, and the roads are slippery in the snow.
The road in the mountains is not easy to walk on!”
"Old students have already given instructions and have already made arrangements. It's just..."
The old princess of Huaiyang pursed her lips, looked at Pei Chaoyue with some embarrassment, and said, "It's just that besides that girl, there are also female relatives from other families who came to the mountain to enjoy the flowers this time. If so, if..."
"What are you afraid of! If I were afraid of implicating innocent people, I wouldn't use this idea! The reason why I invited so many people to the banquet this time is to deceive others!
What does the avalanche and the people injured by the falling rocks have to do with us?!
If you want to blame it, you have to blame those people for their bad luck, and you are just unlucky!"
As she spoke, Pei Chaoyue couldn't help but raise her hand slightly and yawned. She was happy last night. She stayed in the village on the mountain with lovely people to accompany her. She spent the whole night in the hot springs and wine. If she hadn't thought about having a good time today,
She wanted to watch a show, so she wouldn't get up so early in the morning and rush over.
"Okay, I have to rest for a while, old princess, you can do it yourself!"
She raised her hand tiredly and waved, signaling the old princess and her group to leave.
How could the old princess dare to disobey her wishes? She stood up and politely took care of the situation for a few more words, then turned around and exited the warm pavilion built next to the plum garden.
The people who received the message from General Zhenbei's wife naturally did not dare to neglect it. Not to mention the slippery road in this snowy weather, or even a knife falling from the sky, they had to go to the banquet on time.
Those who have the conditions have already gone to Biyuan Zhuangzi, which is relatively close to Meiyuan, so that they don't have to be in such a hurry when they get up early, and just need to come slowly.
However, many people who did not have a village in Xishan had to leave the city for Xishan early in the morning, just like Lin Suisui and others.
Among them was the wife of County Sheriff Tang, Mrs. Tang Song, who had dealt with Lin Suisui more than once before.
She did not come alone this time. Naturally, she also called her mother-in-law, Song Zhou, who had also received the invitation. The two of them sat in the carriage, and neither of them looked good-looking at all.
"I know what my sister-in-law wants to say, but what can I do?! The wife of General Zhenbei is a wolf, and the newly arrived Mrs. Liu is a tiger!
Your brother-in-law and I are just mice caught in this bellows, how can either of us afford to offend?!"
Mrs. Tang Song looked at Mrs. Song Zhou with an aggrieved look, and before she could speak, she began to cry sadly: "Two days ago, the general's wife called me over again and asked me carefully.
Chase!
I really have no choice, and I don’t know when this day will come to an end!”
"What your brother means is that without the diamond, we shouldn't take this porcelain job! No, you can simply ask your brother-in-law to step back. Anyway, it doesn't make any difference whether he has been a county guard or not over the years!
It's better than now, with a mountain of knives on one side and a sea of fire on the other, and you walking on the edge of the daggers with fear!
This is not a good thing, but it will really make you lose your head!
You guys take a step back, come home, let's keep business, and our family will be healthy! But now, your predecessor was just helping Mrs. Liu over there with things, and yesterday you revealed a lot of news to the general's wife!
If something really happens later, my sister-in-law, who will be the unlucky one?!
It's always the devil who suffers when he fights with the king of hell. You, you should have a good discussion with your brother-in-law after you go back this time..."
Mrs. Song Zhou was persuading Mrs. Tang Song carefully, but before she finished speaking, she heard an earth-shaking loud noise not far ahead, and then the whole earth trembled...
