study.
Zhao Yao was feeling nervous and sat on a chair not far from Shangguan Shu.
"Runlang, why did you call me here?"
Shangguan Shu said bluntly: "Huai'an, it seems that you didn't take my words last time to heart!"
"Runlang, what do you mean?"
"What's your point in letting Zhao Quan spread those rumors?!"
Zhao Yao said angrily: "What do you mean I spread rumors? What did I do?"
Shangguan Shu told Zhao Yao exactly what Shangguan Zhu said. Zhao Yao was certain in her heart that Shangguan Zhu was really a good swordsman. If Shangguan Shu didn't believe what she said, then he would definitely believe it a little bit if his own brother said it.
Zhao Yao complained, "So that's what happened... Zhao Quan must be desperate and wants to use this secret to gain an official position."
"Could it be that Runlang thinks I spread these words to deliberately slander Sister Ying?"
Zhao Yao looked at Shangguan Shu disappointedly, "Runlang, you've changed."
"You weren't like this before..."
Shangguan Shu saw that Zhao Yao refused to tell the truth and chuckled, "Even if I believe you, what does it matter?"
The man's gaze was as sharp and cold as a knife.
"Even if it's true, I don't want it to get out. What do you think?"
Zhao Yao never expected Shangguan Shu to defend Zhao Ying to such an extent... She said in disbelief, "Are you crazy?"
"Did you consider me when doing this?"
"I'm a victim... If it weren't for her frame-up, how would I have ended up like this?"
Zhao Yao complained with tears in her eyes that every time she thought she still had hope, Shangguan Shu would stab her in the heart!
The pain made her bleed...
She complained sadly, "Runlang, didn't you say you loved me?"
"But Zhao Ying beat me yesterday, why didn't you help me?"
"You always take sides with her. How can I live with myself?"
"I'd rather die than live like this in this world!"
Zhao Yao roared.
Shangguan Shu sighed, turned away his eyes, and said in a voice as light as water, "Leave Zhao Quan to me!"
Zhao Yao's heart trembled, "You want to silence me?"
Before Shangguan Shu could react, Zhao Yao wiped away her tears and said, "Do whatever you want! Zhao Quan is your brother-in-law and has nothing to do with me!"
"I never told him anything!"
"Believe it or not!"
"After all, the world is so unfair that I, a dull and foolish person like me, who doesn't have any skills, have to suffer so much!"
"Shangguan Shu, one day you will understand how you treated me so badly!"
"Zhao Ying is not as honest and upright as you think. She grew up in the inner palace, how could she be naive?"
"It's all my fault... I believed you and survived until now!"
Zhao Yao left the study crying.
Jiang Cheng and his followers came over and saw Zhao Yao leaving.
The follower Gunnima was brought by Jiang Cheng from Tubo. He was extremely loyal to Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Cheng also trusted him very much.
Gunnima looked at Zhao Yao's back, clicked his tongue twice, and said in Tibetan: "They say this prince loves his wife as if she were his life, but it seems that's not the case!"
Jiang Cheng laughed sarcastically, "That's nothing. They say the princess of the Crown Prince's family is incredibly beautiful, beyond compare... It seems people from the Central Plains are good at bragging!"
Gunnima smiled in agreement.
The two of them went to find Shangguan Shu and look for something to do. They couldn't just stay in the Duke's Mansion all day and do nothing... Shangguan Shu was already annoyed and had no time to think about where they were going, so he told the prince to go around and if he found a job he liked, he could tell him and he would arrange it.
This is exactly what Jiang Cheng wants.
Jiang Cheng thanked him and left the study.
Let Gunnima go and ask which courtyard the eldest daughter of the mansion lives in.
The huge Zhenguo Mansion is really not small. Not to mention the Gan Garden and Xi Garden built after Zhao Ying got married, there are also many courtyards in the original Duke's Mansion.
After Zhao Ying left, Gan Garden was closed.
The servants took away the yard with several children and sold them...
Except for the Ganyuan where Shangguan Qingyue lived, all the other places were empty.
Gunnima was naturally staying temporarily in the Duke's Mansion, so he asked the maids in the Duke's Mansion.
Xiangling had just been assigned to serve Huyan Xue, and was promoted from a rough maid to a second-class female historian. She was feeling complacent, but when someone came to ask about her, Xiangling hurriedly told Gunnima that it was nothing more than that the mistress of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion had changed, and the Miss Xue she served would become the noble legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion in the future.
If we praise Hu Yanxue, we can also praise her status as a servant girl.
Xiangling looked at Gunnima arrogantly.
Gunnima narrowed his eyes. His Dachu language wasn't very good, and he couldn't make out any logic. He only heard this girl say that this Miss Xue was the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion...
Then she must be the daughter of the Prince of Zhenguo!
Gunnima got the information he wanted and also asked Huyanxue about her preferences and favorite places in a roundabout way. Xiangling didn't want to say anything, but Gunnima gave her a silver ingot, and Xiangling told him everything.
Half an hour later, Gunnima found Jiang Cheng and reported, "Sir, I have found out."
"Prince Shangguan has a daughter named Xue!"
Jiang Cheng repeated with interest, "Snow?"
"I also asked Miss Xue about her preferences. Her maid said that she is an elegant person, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If you want to win Miss Xue's heart, I think this is a good way to start."
This really troubled Jiang Cheng. As a native Tibetan, he had no idea about the things from the Central Plains.
Jiang Chengzhao told the truth.
Gunnima thought for a moment and said, "This isn't difficult. As long as we..."
The next day, Jiang Cheng dressed up handsomely and ran into Hu Yanxue. After repeatedly talking to her but getting no response, Jiang Cheng learned that Miss Xue was a mute.
Jiang Cheng suppressed the disgust between his brows and thought to himself that as long as someone could help him, he would accept anyone as a fool, not to mention a mute.
Jiang Cheng continued to compliment Huyanxue. Huyanxue was worried about how to get her beloved uncle, so she was naturally upset with Jiang Cheng. However, after Jiang Cheng's shameless behavior for the whole morning, Huyanxue relaxed a little.
How can a young girl resist the love of a handsome man?
Hu Yanxue's vanity suddenly exploded.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Cheng specially invited Hu Yanxue to the restaurant to listen to opera, and Hu Yanxue agreed.
The two men set out on their journey with their entourage. Halfway through the journey, they came across a scene: Xiangyue Pavilion, the largest study in the capital. A game was set up there. The host would give the first line, and the contestants would give the second line. The one with the most neat answer would advance to the next round and receive fifty taels of silver. The winner could choose any treasure from Xiangyue Pavilion.
Xiangyue Pavilion was packed with people, and there was a crowd outside.
Gunnima winked at Jiang Cheng, and Jiang Cheng curled his lips and smiled cunningly.
Not far away, Shangguan Qingwan pulled Shangguan Bailin over and said, "Second brother, please help me. The prize is an authentic Tang Bohu painting!"
"What? An authentic Tang Bohu painting?"
Shangguan Bailin stopped struggling and said, "The painting is yours, and the silver is mine!"
