Shen Mingshu returned to the room, swept the teapot and water cups on the table to the floor, smashed a few vases, and lay on the table crying so hard that her shoulders were shaking, she felt so pitiful.
Outside the door, several maids were pushing each other around, no one dared to go in.
Everyone praises the second lady of the prime minister's house for her innocence and cuteness, but no one knows how she mistreats the servants in the house. Sister Hongdan is an example.
Shen Panxing finally suppressed that incident, and Shen Mingshu's reputation was not affected.
Alian rolled his eyes and went to the warehouse to pick out some broken pearls, grind them into powder, and mix them into a paste with fragrant dew.
She knocked on the door, opened it a crack, and a plum vase flew over. She leaned half of her body in and hurriedly exited. She stood outside the door and persuaded: "Miss, His Royal Highness Prince Yu may come to see you tomorrow." , it won’t look good if your eyes become swollen from crying, maybe that’s their purpose to make you disliked by His Highness King Yu!”
Ah Lian is very smart. Shen Mingshu stopped crying after listening to her words. Her father told her to capture Zhou Yu's heart... Even without her father's advice, she still wanted to capture His Royal Highness Prince Yu's heart!
But the grievance in my heart could not be dissipated for a while.
When Alian heard that there was no movement inside, she pushed the door open tentatively and said, "My slave has helped you grind pearl powder, using this year's new plum blossom dew. May I come in, my slave?"
There were broken pieces of porcelain everywhere in the room. Shen Mingshu wiped her face with a handkerchief and kept her head silent.
Alian entered the house and ordered the maid behind her: "Please tidy up the house quickly and be careful. Clean up the broken porcelain pieces and don't hurt the lady!"
Shen Mingshu looked wilted and had tears on her face. Alian brought another basin of warm water, wetted the handkerchief and helped her cleanse her face.
"Miss, you are too naive. The eldest lady married a sick man, and she wishes that all the couples in the world would be unhappy. You must not be serious with the eldest lady! When you marry His Highness Prince Yu and become the concubine, the eldest lady will When the young lady sees you, she must bow to you and call you "Sister-in-law" in a proper manner!"
"So it doesn't matter if you feel a little wronged now. When you get married, His Highness Prince Yu will stand up for you! His Highness Prince Yu will give you things every three days. It shows that he values you in his heart. You must not fall into the trap."
Alian's words were very helpful to Shen Mingshu, and her face began to brighten.
"Miss, your good days are ahead..."
Shen Mingshu snorted and couldn't hold back the smile on her lips.
"You can talk!"
The maids put away the broken porcelain in the house, and when only the master and servant were left in the house, Alian whispered: "But Miss, His Royal Highness Prince Yu's ambition is not in the backyard. If you want to be a good Princess Yu, , you have to control your temper and don’t let your servants see your happiness and anger again.”
Shen Mingshu also understood this truth, but she was so dizzy from being hit by the honey jar these days that her tail was raised and she couldn't take it back for a while.
"Dad also asked me to control my temper..." Shen Mingshu knew she had let it slip and said with a straight face, "Do I still need your teaching?"
Alian took half a step back and knelt on the ground, took her hand, and said sincerely: "This slave has overstepped her bounds. If you are unhappy, you can beat me or punish me, but Miss, you are my master, so you are a good slave." Okay, I just want you to be safe and smooth in this life, and everything will go well for you!"
The servants are all afraid of her, and Shen Mingshu also knows this. Since her aunt's death, she has to look at other people's faces, and there is no one who is truly considerate around her. Alian is smart and sincerely considers her...
Shen Mingshu's anger subsided and he helped her up.
She must have one or two confidants by her side!
"Alian, please get up. Now you are the only one who is sincerely good for me." Shen Mingshu felt aggrieved for a long time and forgot that she had not eaten dinner. She realized now and held her stomach, "Alian, I am hungry..."
"My slave, I will go to the kitchen to find you something to eat!"
A Lian met Chang De while going to the kitchen, and Chang De handed her a heavy purse.
"Have you been appeased over there?"
Alian nodded and responded: "Don't worry, the second lady is pure in mind and has no suspicions."
Changde hummed and emphasized: "There is no future with such a brainless master. You are so smart. You can work for the eldest lady with peace of mind. The eldest lady will not treat you badly!"
Alian stuffed her purse into her arms and asked, "Miss, do you have any other instructions?"
Changde looked around, leaned close to her ear and said, "Before the wedding, please let the second lady stop doing stupid things and marry into Prince Yu's palace smoothly!"
Ah Lian was confused, but she didn't ask any more questions, she just answered and left.
Changde nodded at her back. Although he couldn't understand why the eldest lady wanted to help the second lady marry into Prince Yu's palace, it was rare that this girl was a good prospect regardless of the reason!
The news of the prime minister's house was under Shen Moran's control. After reading the secret letter sent by Changde, she just chuckled and said that it would be better for Shen Mingshu to be Zhou Yu's concubine than for Zhou Yu to find another foreign aid.
Once Shen Mingshu gets married successfully, the royal concubine of Prince Yu will not be replaced by anyone who wants to!
"Is Jiu Er back?"
Shen Moran was leaning against the stove, while Bi Tao was sorting out the manuscript of the new storybook. The wind blew again outside, and the whistling sound made people panic.
Changying came in and reported back: "Jiu'er sent a message back, saying that the person has been sent to Mr. Si, but the person is still unconscious. She will wait until the doctor has seen it before coming back."
Shen Moran chuckled and said: "It seems there is a surprise, let's wait."
Jiuer sent the letter to Si Yiluo, who opened the envelope. Inside was a petition, accusing Junzhou County Magistrate Kong Peng of seizing relief food and oppressing the people. In order to prevent them from going to Beijing to complain, he set up an ambush along the road.
Killing common people on charges of being bandits, falsely reporting achievements to the court, etc...
The petition only accused Kong Peng, the county magistrate of Junzhou, but Si Yiluo thought of more. No matter how long Kong Peng stretched his hand, he was only a seventh-grade county magistrate. How could he control the people in the capital?
They can't even enter the capital... It seems that someone wants to suppress this matter.
Relating to the attitude of the Wucheng Army and Horses Division today, the Wucheng Army and Horses Division just drove him out of the capital and did not kill him, which shows that they are not in the same camp as the people behind Kong Peng.
But to be able to work the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division to guard the gate for them, the person behind it must have a high status.
The Five Cities Military and Horse Division is not a department, but five independent agencies. Each agency has a different person in charge, but they are also affiliated with the Ministry of War...
A small case, if investigated thoroughly, can turn the capital upside down.
She could already predict the outcome before the investigation of this case started. The court had just experienced a turmoil, and the officials had not yet filled up the ranks. When this case came up, the most they could do was to remove Kong Peng from his post and investigate.
Si Yiluo sighed and put the paper away.
The higher you stand, the more you can see, and the deeper the feeling of powerlessness becomes.
She went to visit the beggar who had been rescued by Jiu Er, and ordered: "Let the doctor guard him tonight, and be sure to save him!"
With Sun Fang's identity, it was easy for her to be at a loss for words with Si Yiluo. Now she took over the task and patted her chest so loudly.
"I will definitely live up to your trust as an official!"
At the moment, he still didn't know the identity of the person in front of him, so Si Yiluo said a few words to Jiu'er and asked her to go back and have an explanation with Shen Moran. If it was too late, the key to the imperial city would be lost.
She still has some official business to deal with and plans to stay up a little longer tonight.
