Cheng Fenglou stood up and touched a large mirror that was seven or eight inches in size.
This bronze mirror is shiny and smooth. It is much larger and thicker than ordinary dressing table mirrors. It is engraved with images of peach branches and flying swallows flying together. It is so exquisite that many women in Jianghua Pavilion are envious.
Yu Sisi loves beauty, and the mirror is also a cherished part of her.
But now it seems like that's not all.
found it!
Cheng Fenglou stared at the peach blossom pattern behind the mirror and hurriedly took out the peach blossom hairpin he had taken away from his arms.
The mahogany hairpin is carefully carved and becomes smooth and shiny due to the owner's hair care and hands.
This was a token of love given to Yu Sisi by Fang Tong. He had stolen it before and prepared to put it in Yu Sisi's coffin and accompany her to the burial.
The peach blossoms on the wooden hairpin perfectly match the peach blossoms behind the mirror.
There was a click.
The seam on the edge of the mirror suddenly became larger.
Open it through the gap, and there are ten pieces of white silk hidden inside!
The silk is densely covered with beautiful small characters, with personal names neatly arranged, followed by labels indicating men and women, age, where they came from, and where they are going.
Cheng Fenglou looked at each name in shock, and could vaguely hear what Yu Sisi said after being drunk.
"I want them to be found one by one in the future and return to their hometown one day!"
…
Come out of Yu Sisi's room.
As soon as Cheng Fenglou returned to his room, Qianyu jumped out of nowhere.
"Master Cheng, it is safer to leave that thing to the county prince for safekeeping."
Cheng Fenglou realized that the county prince had secretly planted an informant around him, and to put it nicely, it was to protect him. After hesitating for a moment, he handed the ten pieces of silk book to Qian Yu.
Qian Yu carefully accepted it and said, "Master Cheng, the things have been found. It's time for you to find a chance to leave Jianghua Pavilion."
"Don't worry, there must be something else I can find out about Mother Hua." Cheng Fenglou refused calmly.
Recalling his secret observations over the past two days, Qian Yu expressed his opinion tactfully, "It may not be easy for Mr. Cheng to get close to Mother Hua."
Not long after Cheng Fenglou was picked up by Yu Sisi, everyone in Jianghua Pavilion was very indifferent to him. Once Yu Sisi died, he was like a transparent person in Jianghua Pavilion. Some people even bullied him.
For example, the last turtle slave, Brother Li, who served Yu Sisi personally.
Cheng Fenglou heard the meaning behind his words and remained silent.
"The Prince of the County has already arranged this matter. The fish is about to take the bait. Master Cheng, don't worry. You might as well go back to the Prince's Mansion for treatment first. The most important thing is to remember the real purpose of coming to Jiangrao County this time." Qian Yu persuaded her earnestly.
Cheng Fenglou fell into deep thought.
…
This room of the County Prince's Mansion.
Wen Ranran slapped the chessboard that Xia Lishuang had just laid out. Under Xia Lishuang's surprised gaze, she immediately softened her body and looked at him coquettishly.
"I don't want to play chess!"
Xia Lishuang thought for a while, then picked up the booklet next to her, "That's not as good as..."
"I don't miss Buddhist scriptures either!"
"Why don't you go for a walk?"
"My legs are broken from running every day!"
Seeing Wen Ranran's unwillingness to give up, Xia Lishuang secretly had a headache, but looked calm: "Then what do you want to do?"
Wen Ranran sat opposite him, lying on the table and looking up at him helplessly, with the whites of her lower eyes exposed, looking innocent and pitiful.
"It's late at night! It's time to sleep!"
Xia Lishuang nodded and said, "Then just wait for me for a quarter of an hour and wait until I finish my evening recitation."
"Why do you need to recite sutras again..."
Wen Ranran muttered, but remained obediently still, staring at the rosary with his eyes closed, and glanced at the burning incense burner on the table, a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.
