"What my father said... I heard from my uncle occasionally that at that time, the second sister had not yet been engaged. When the uncle wanted to choose a bride for the second sister, Prince Yangshan once proposed marriage to the uncle."
Yu Lanyun hesitated for a moment and then told the truth.
Yu Xijiao's eyes suddenly widened: "Didn't the Crown Prince Yangshan already have an engagement?"
"I heard... that Prince Yangshan is willing to break off the marriage for the sake of his second sister. As long as the uncle agrees, he will immediately return to his residence to break off the previous marriage."
Yu Lanyun said.
"So... the reason why Crown Prince Yangshan and Zhengyuan Mansion stopped talking to each other was because of this?" Yu Xijiao shook her body, and Mingyue gave her a quick hand.
"Is your...your injury okay?" Yu Lanyun was startled and asked with concern.
Yu Xijiao grabbed Yu Lanyun's shoulders and her voice became more urgent: "Is it because of this reason that the two families separated?"
"I heard my father's guess... it should be this reason." Yu Lanyun didn't know what happened, and was pressed hard on her shoulders, feeling the vibration in Yu Xijiao's heart.
"The Crown Prince of Yangshan has betrayed his trust and asked Marquis Zhengyuan to marry him even though he already had a marriage contract. He is really... a man of grace and grace." Yu Xi said coldly, with a trace of angry blood flashing in her eyes.
.
No wonder his father suddenly ignored Li Xian, no wonder Li Xian suddenly lost contact with the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion. It turned out that Li Xian had once proposed to marry him, and he even had an engagement at that time.
With his father's temperament, how could he tolerate such a treacherous person, even if Li Xian was someone he had always relied on as a disciple.
In her last life, she really didn't know that there was such a thing. She only knew that she occasionally asked her mother about it, and her mother said there was no need to ask more. She also said that since Li Xian couldn't come over and had to cut off contact with her family, it wouldn't count.
What.
At that time, my mother also said that you should be honest and not do anything treacherous. She also talked about her marriage in a vague way. She was not engaged at that time. My mother said that the marriage between Qin and Jin was for the sake of the good of the two surnames.
Since the person has been chosen at the beginning, there is no need to change one person for another.
If this were the case, marriages in this world would not be in chaos.
Who knows who will be replaced next, and the so-called engagement is even more of a joke.
Later, when she chose Xin Kangbo Mansion, my mother told herself again and again that she would not change again after she made the choice. She said that Chu Zihan was a trustworthy man and was a good man. He was different from others. This is what the so-called others should say.
Is it Li Xian?
In the last life, if my father was still alive, he would definitely not let Li Xian come to my door.
So, did my marriage to Chu Zihan really have nothing to do with Li Xian? Or even what happened after that really had nothing to do with Li Xian?
Some places that I hadn't thought about before have become strangely loose, as if an important link has been connected...
The long eyelashes drooped down, hiding the cold ridicule in her eyes. Li Xian's fiancée did not survive to marry into the Yangshan Marquis Mansion and died!
Li Xian never lost his reputation for betrayal.
The same goes for the seventh princess, and her former consort is also dead...
Li Xian was Chu Zihan's cousin, and now he was the consort of the Seventh Princess. Before the palace issued an order, there were already rumors that the Seventh Princess was interested in Prince Yangshan.
"Clan sister...are you okay?" Yu Lanyun looked at Yu Xijiao uneasily and asked.
"I'm fine! You go back first, and I'll check these two houses for you to see if there's anything wrong with them." After gathering her thoughts, Yu Xijiao raised her head and said.
"Thank you so much, clan sister." Yu Lanyun was overjoyed and quickly stood up to thank him. Their third house really couldn't find out about this kind of thing right now, and they only had a few available subordinates, which were completely inferior to the Xuanping Hou Mansion.
Qingyue led Yu Lanyun back.
"Girl, is there something wrong with Crown Prince Yangshan?" Mingyue looked at Yu Xijiao uneasily, and she could see clearly just now that her girl's face changed drastically when Miss Yun mentioned Crown Prince Yangshan.
"Mingyue, ask Nanny Xu to check the people of Xin Kangbo Mansion and what happened on the day of Chu Zihan's wedding. Are there any people from Yangshan Hou Mansion who were in Xin Kangbo Mansion? Where was the Crown Prince of Yangshan Hou at that time?" Yu Xi
Jiao's voice was bone-chilling, and a vague idea emerged in front of her eyes.
medicine!
Mother and daughter Ning had drugged themselves early, but in fact they couldn't have escaped without drugging themselves? Why?
In the dream, Yu Lanyan beat herself to death in the woodshed...
When Princess Duan's dowry was given out, many people came to watch the fun. The princess's ten-mile red dress was naturally more interesting than the dowry of ordinary people.
It is said that Princess Duan is the Queen Mother's favorite. She grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she is the biological daughter of the former Marquis of Zhennan. I heard that the former Marquis of Zhennan was a loyal minister, and Princess Duan was a loyal minister, so the Emperor read:
As the only descendant of Zhongliang, she was specially allowed to be raised under the knees of the Queen Mother...
There are many rumors about Zhang Wanyin, and they all sound kind-hearted. Of course, there are also some rumors behind the kind-hearted rumors. Although few people say it, they make everyone remember it more clearly.
For example, the daughter of the Marquis of Zhennan was given as a concubine to the Crown Prince of the Marquis of Yangshan.
For example, two concubines were admitted to Prince Duan's Mansion before, and another concubine is about to enter next...
Compared to what everyone was talking about after Zhongliang, these things were obviously discovered only recently, and some are even still happening, which attracts more attention from others.
The dowry was carried over as soon as it was carried. It was very rich, and there were many people watching at the teahouses and restaurants along the way.
Yu Xijiao didn't come out specifically to watch the excitement. She happened to go to Xiyi Zhai on some business and sat in the private room upstairs, where she got a real look.
Standing in front of the window, watching the queues of dowries passing by, both in terms of quantity and quality, they were of a royal scale. There were even guards from Prince Duan's Mansion sending them off on both sides. Although passers-by were watching the fun, they didn't dare to
I pushed forward for fear of disturbing the wedding procession.
Yu Xijiao watched as the leading team passed by and could no longer be seen in the distance. The people behind it had not finished yet. The richness of the dowry made passers-by admire them in admiration.
Yu Xijiao was just about to turn around when she suddenly noticed something. She raised her eyes and looked across. Standing at the upstairs window sill opposite was actually Li Xian.
Li Xian observed her without leaving a trace, and when he saw Yu Xijiao turning her eyes, Li Xian smiled and bowed to Yu Xijiao from the window.
After Yu Xijiao's eyes flashed slightly, she also took a step back and bowed. Mingyue stepped forward and closed the window, and Yu Xijiao sat down again.
"What's the place opposite?"
"It's a grocery store. The things we buy are quite miscellaneous. There seems to be nothing on the second floor! No one is allowed to go up there." Mingyue said. She has been to this place several times. There are stairs, but no one is allowed to go up to the second floor because there are no goods on it.
Just where they put the sundries in their store.
"Prince Yangshan went to the place where the sundries are placed upstairs?" Yu Xijiao said to herself.
This behavior is inconsistent with his identity.
"Go and ask Manager Qi to come over." Yu Xijiao said thoughtfully. If it was before, she would not check Li Xian. Now that she is suspicious of Li Xian, she will naturally not let go of any clues.
Manager Qi came very quickly. He followed Yu Xijiao's summons and followed Mingyue.
"The shop opposite belongs to Yangshan Hou Mansion?" Yu Xijiao asked.
Qi Guan was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Third Miss, she is not from the Yangshan Marquis Mansion, she is a businessman, the one named Bai Qing before. Do you still remember her?"
"Is it him?" Yu Xijiao immediately thought of the Bai Qing who had a roundabout relationship with the Ning family. The eldest sister's shop was handled very well. It was also because of this Bai Qing that he was a well-rounded businessman.
"Yes, this is Bai Qing. He is well-known among the merchants in the capital and has a good character. This shop was recently opened. I heard that the previous business was not very good, so the shop changed its owner." Manager Qi said with a smile.
.
"I'm afraid it has changed hands now." Yu Xijiao thought thoughtfully.
"No way, my subordinates saw Bai Qing coming here with someone, and then asked the shopkeeper who was about to leave. It was indeed Bai Qing's plate. He continued to sell the previous goods. After the previous boss left,
, I gave Bai Qing some goods and the corresponding information about the source of the goods," said Manager Qi.
"When did it happen?" Yu Xijiao smiled slightly.
"Three days ago." Qi Guanshi thought for a while and said with certainty. That day he did see the figure of this white official, who was very famous among merchants.
"Maybe the owner has changed now." Yu Xijiao raised her eyes thoughtfully and looked back at the window.
"Change of ownership so soon?" Manager Qi was surprised.
"It should be." Yu Xijiao said. Li Xian saw her before she even noticed her. He didn't dodge or dodge, which meant he wasn't afraid of her becoming suspicious. He stood openly on the second floor opposite.
"My subordinates are going to inquire now." Manager Qi said.
Yu Xijiao stopped with a smile: "There's no need to rush over there. It's okay to ask around in a day or two."
Li Xian wanted to go upstairs now. If she went to inquire now, it would not only be very deliberate, but also appear to have ulterior motives. She didn't know what the Yangshan Marquis Prince meant, but I'm afraid the person who came here was really ill-intentioned, and he might even be rude.
Came by myself.
What a coincidence, it is right opposite my shop.
Among several shops, Yu Xijiao came to Xiyi Zhai most often, so this was for herself or Feng Yu...
If it's against yourself, is it because of the Seventh Princess?
If it was against Feng Yu, who would it be because of? Is there someone else behind Li Xian? The queen or several princes...
The matter of Zhengyuan Hou Mansion seems to have little to do with the royal family, but if you think about it carefully, you can see the royal methods behind it, even now Chu Zihan is the same.
What Chu Zidan means is that Chu Zihan should be in the palace. Coupled with some previous news about Zhang Wanyin and Chu Zihan's martial arts training, it can almost be inferred that Chu Zihan is in the palace now.
The long eyelashes were like butterfly wings, falling down and casting uneven shadows on her eyes. Then she slowly raised her head, with a trace of ridicule flashing in her eyes. She guessed that Chu Zihan was now a member of the Feilong Guard.
He meets all the requirements for Feilongwei...
He could hide his identity, and many people thought he was dead; he was loyal to the emperor, and he had always wanted to be an official, and in order to become an official, he stepped on the blood of Duke Anguo and would complete whatever he was told, regardless of the means; he was good at martial arts, and his martial arts was even good,
