Chapter 633, about jade pendant, keep an eye on it
"Do you want to see the lotus pond in Mingqing County?" Yu Xijiao stopped.
"Is that okay?" Zhang Wanyin asked with a smile.
"Princess Mingqing wants to see the best lotus pond. I don't know if Princess Mingqing is wary of it. The lotus pond is particularly nice and big." Yu Xijiao raised her step and continued.
"Okay." Zhang Wanyin nodded. The person she came to see today was actually Yu Xijiao. The reason why she never left was because she heard that Yu Xijiao had gone out, so she stayed here to wait for her.
Yu Xijiao turned to another road and headed for the side door. Mingyue called a little maid on the side of the road and asked her to go to the side door first.
When Yu Xijiao led Zhang Wanyin over, the doors on both sides were already wide open.
Stepping into the side door of the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, Zhang Wanyin suddenly stopped: "Miss Yu San, this is... the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion?"
"The lotus pond in Zhengyuanhou Mansion is very good. It's better than the one in our house. It's also very quiet. It's an excellent place." Yu Xi said with a sweet smile.
"I haven't asked the master...it's always not a good idea." Zhang Wanyin looked at the garden in front of her, which was slightly different from the one at the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. It seemed to be more profound.
"There is an old lady in the Mansion of Marquis Zhengyuan. The old lady took care of Marquis Zhengyuan back then, and now she is helping him guard the Mansion of Marquis Zhengyuan. She is just waiting for the return of the crown prince of Marquis Zhengyuan one day. The old lady is very kind and treats me.
I said, if you want to see the lotus pond, just come over." Yu Xijiao looked at the old woman standing aside.
The mother-in-law of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion quickly understood and said quickly: "Our old lady likes the third girl very much. The third girl can come over anytime she wants."
"This... is somewhat inappropriate after all." Zhang Wanyin just wanted to find a place to ask about the jade pendant, and did not want to get involved with the affairs of the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion.
"Don't worry, Princess, nothing will happen. It happens to be quiet here. We can also talk about the jade pendant. I found out some things and want to ask Princess." Yu Xijiao smiled slightly.
"Okay." Seeing her like this, Zhang Wanyin could only agree.
The two people walked inside.
The Zhengyuan Hou Mansion is now becoming increasingly deserted. Although there are people cleaning the house, there are basically no people in sight.
"That place used to be where Lanxuan County Lord was burned. Mrs. Yu asked people to build a wall around it. Now the wall is gone."
After walking a few steps, Yu Xijiao stretched out her hand and pointed.
"Can... take a look?" Zhang Wanyin raised her eyes and looked at that place, and asked suddenly. Now that she has entered the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, she is always a little curious about the burning place. Besides, it would be disrespectful to come and not leave.
"Okay." Yu Xijiao nodded, without refusing, and took Zhang Wanyin to the yard at the corner.
The yard has been rearranged, and the case is still under investigation. There is a fence at the gate of the yard. Compared with before, the fence is farther away, and you can't get close.
Zhang Wanyin stood outside the fence, quietly looked at the small yard that was burned by the fire, sighed, and bowed deeply to the abandoned yard.
Then he straightened up and said, "I don't have much contact with Mr. Lanxuan County, but her affairs... are admirable. There has never been a daughter of a noble family who is as decisive as she is, and can do this to such a fiancé.
"
"Princess Princess, don't you think the County Lord is too decisive? In fact, she doesn't necessarily need to go to this step. She still has the Crown Prince and her younger brother."
Yu Xijiao's eyes also fell on the pile of ruins, her smile was very faint and light, as if it could be blown away by the wind.
"If she doesn't self-immolate, she may not die. As long as she doesn't die, she will definitely have another chance in the future. With someone as smart as Mr. Lanxuan County, how can he let Yu Lanyan and Chu Zihan bully others like this." Zhang Wanyin nodded and sighed softly,
"But none of us are Lanxuan County Lord, and we don't know how desperate she was at that time, or that she really had no way to survive at that time, after all..."
Zhang Wanyin stopped here and paused.
"After all, Duke Anguo's mansion is gone too."
Yu Xijiao automatically continued her sentence.
Zhang Wanyin's eyelashes fluttered, and she turned her eyes to look at Yu Xijiao, seeing that she was still paying attention to the ruins and did not turn back to look at him.
Is this an unintentional remark? She pursed her lips and Zhang Wanyin did not answer, as if she had not heard what Yu Xijiao said.
"Princess, do you know Duke Anguo's Mansion?" Yu Xijiao suddenly turned her head and looked at Zhang Wanyin.
Zhang Wanyin shook her head, turned around and walked out: "Miss Yu, let's go see the lotus pond you mentioned?"
She couldn't accept this, and she didn't want to accept it. The affairs of Zhengyuanhou Mansion had nothing to do with her. If it hadn't been for her coming to Zhengyuanhou Mansion, she would never have come to worship Yu Lanxuan.
"Okay." Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Yu Xijiao didn't force it.
Zhang Wanyin is very sensitive. As soon as she entered the gate of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, she found that it was not Xuanping Hou Mansion. As for coming here to worship now, it was not because she had any good impression of Yu Lanxuan, but because if she didn't worship here, she would let others go.
People say that the people of today's Zhengyuan Hou Mansion are all people who died unjustly, and everyone in the capital sighs when they mention it.
If you don't worship at Zhengyuanhou Mansion, you will attract criticism.
Yu Xijiao had already guessed that Zhang Wanyin would definitely pay homage after learning about Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. What she wanted to see was Zhang Wanyin's true attitude. Now it seems that Zhang Wanyin might really know that she left the palace because of her father.
It’s true that dad and the Marquis of Zhennan had a dispute!
After turning around the small courtyard and walking not far, we arrived at the lotus pond. The lotus pond in Zhengyuanhou Mansion was really quite big. Yu Lanxuan liked it at the time, and An family specially planted a few more varieties. The courtyard of the mansion was more or less
They all rely on this lotus pond.
Yu Xijiao led Zhang Wanyin to a waterside pavilion in the lotus pond. After walking for a while, there was a pavilion in the lake. The weather has entered autumn now, and it is not the time when the lotus flowers are in full bloom. The leaves are grand and fields.
But there are no lotus flowers in full bloom, and the grand scene in front of us is about to decline.
The two of them sat down at the fence, and the maid stood aside to wait on them.
"Miss Yu San, I still want to ask about the jade pendant." As soon as she sat down, Zhang Wanyin said straight to the point, her eyes fell on Yu Xijiao, and she spoke sincerely, "My father is no longer here, and the things he left behind are basically the same now.
Xanadu stayed in the Zhennan Marquis Mansion, but that place... is no longer my place after all. This time I went to Beijing with only two maids and two women, some simple salutes, and nothing else."
These words were not concealed at all, and even exposed her own shortcomings. Everyone knew that Zhang Wanyin was not having a good time in the Zhennan Hou Mansion, but she had never told anyone so straightforwardly.
Being able to speak so frankly to Yu Xijiao shows that he sincerely has a good relationship with Yu Xijiao and also sincerely wants to know the news about his father.
"Princess Princess..."
Zhang Wanyin shook her hand gently, interrupting Yu Xijiao: "My mother disappeared a few years after my father passed away, leaving me alone. If the Queen Mother hadn't taken me in, I might not have been able to grow up safely.
Now."
The meaning behind these words was almost rebellious, but he spoke so clearly to Yu Xijiao.
"Miss Yu San, you had a way of survival only when you left the capital that day, but I had a way of survival only after entering the capital. The two of us... are actually very similar in certain meanings."
One is because of the Qian family, and the other is because of the current Madam Zhennanhou. From this point of view, the two people are really very similar, and they can only live well if they leave.
These few words are very powerful. Not only do they bluntly tell Yu Xijiao why she cares about the jade pendant, they also show that she and Yu Xijiao are in the same situation and have similar moods, which invisibly brings the two people closer.
"Princess, the matter about the jade pendant... is indeed about Yu Yuyan, but I really don't know what happened next." Yu Xi said delicately, with a sincere look on her face.
From the look on Zhang Wanyin's face, she could tell that she had been checked, but was not found out, so she found herself again.
"Yu Yuyan is no longer here." Zhang Wanyin lowered her head with a sad expression.
"Has the princess asked Xin Kangbo Mansion?" Yu Xijiao thought for a while and asked.
"After asking, they all said they couldn't remember how Yu Lanyan was dressed at that time. They said something happened to her and she was immediately locked up. Later, she was left to fend for herself. Only her own personal maid was waiting on her. At that time, there was chaos outside.
In a group, everyone is doubting the cause of Yu Lanxuan's death, and no one cares about her."
"Have you checked her belongings when she died?" Yu Xijiao asked.
"I checked, but there was nothing. It is said that Yu Lanyan had no jewelry at that time, and she was wearing ordinary clothes." Zhang Wanyin shook her head, and did not hide anything from Yu Xijiao, "I went to see Mrs. Xin Kangbo, Xin Kang
Madam Uncle also checked for me, but couldn’t find anything no matter how hard she checked.”
"So, Princess, you think I got it wrong?" Yu Xijiao understood the meaning of her words, smiled leisurely, and asked.
"I... still can't figure out why Yu Lanyan has her father's jade pendant in her hand. There's no way it could have been in her hands." Zhang Wanyin didn't look at Yu Xijiao and seemed to be talking to herself. Her eyebrows furrowed tightly as she finished speaking.
Then he raised his head and looked at Yu Xijiao with a sincere face, "Miss Yu San, this time the jade pendant has a clue, and it was Miss Yu San's help. Regardless of whether the jade pendant is found or not, I will remember Miss Yu San."
What he said was very affectionate. Regardless of whether he found it or not, he told Yu Xijiao about the jade pendant, and she remembered Yu Xijiao's kindness.
Just these words and character are very convincing. If there is any news, I will be more willing to exchange for her, not to mention that the relationship between the two Yu sisters was not good before.
Since she was the future Princess Duan and naturally stood opposite Yu Yuxi, Zhang Wanyin felt that Yu Xijiao would be willing to receive this favor from her.
Zhang Wanyin checked again and again about the jade pendant, but there was really no trace. This feeling was more uncomfortable than no news. It seemed that the benefits that were right in front of him were within reach, but suddenly disappeared. Gains and losses
Suddenly, even Zhang Wanyin, who had always been calm, couldn't sit still.
Originally she thought she could find it based on these clues, but she asked Mrs. Xin Kangbo twice, but still found nothing. From the look of Mrs. Xin Kangbo, it didn't seem like she was hiding anything. It was just a jade pendant. Mrs. Xin Kangbo
It is impossible to harm yourself for this thing.
So, the question is, did Yu Xijiao really see it, or did she fake it, or was there another reason why Yu Xijiao didn't tell the truth?
One thing is certain, Yu Xijiao's expression changed when she saw her jade pendant. Yu Xijiao must have seen her own jade pendant, but the question is why did she not tell the truth to herself and want to deceive herself?
"Miss Yu San, I am puzzled. How did Yu Lanyan get involved with Yupei?" The previous paragraphs were all foreshadowing, but the last sentence was the key. Zhang Wanyin's eyes were locked on Yu Xi tightly.
Jiao, for fear of missing a tiny expression of hers...
