Chapter 35: Schadenfreude
She and Shen Yaoxing, one in the open and one in the dark, nipped any danger in the bud.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have rushed out so quickly when she knew something happened to Rong Huoer.
"I'm fine, very good. What happened to my cousin?"
Xiao Jinmian was shocked when she saw the pale and weak little face in the carriage.
Rong Huo'er leaned weakly against the edge of the carriage door, "Princess, I'm not feeling well and can't salute."
"It's okay." Xiao Jinmian waved her hand and asked worriedly, "What happened to my cousin?"
Rong Huoer pursed her lips tightly, looking a little embarrassed, not knowing how to start.
It was Shen Qingyi who came to the rescue and whispered a few words into the princess's ear.
Hearing this, Xiao Jinmian's eyes widened.
She had heard before that some women experienced severe pain during their menstrual period.
When she came by herself, she was still jumping up and down as usual and didn't feel any discomfort.
At this time, I was looking at my cousin.
It turns out this really exists.
"Then cousin, please make sure to rest during these few days."
Actually, it wasn’t because of the pain, but mainly because I had my period suddenly and it stained my dress.
Today is the hundred-day banquet, and all the people who came are nobles and famous families, even the emperor is here.
She didn't dare to bump into them.
She asked someone to deliver the gift and then tell Shen Qingyi.
Unexpectedly, the maid sent was also shy. She hummed and hawed and didn't explain clearly. Shen Qingyi misunderstood her, thinking that something had happened to her, so she ran out in a hurry.
"I see quite a few people have left. Is the party over?"
Shen Qingyi felt a little strange.
When she came out, it seemed like the banquet hadn't even started yet.
Speaking of this, Xiao Jinmian laughed.
"You didn't see the wonderful scene before. Su Haitang fell into the water. Of course, General Su couldn't stay any longer and took his precious daughter back. When the others saw this, they also left."
I'm just a little angry.
It’s all Lu Jinghuai’s fault. If he hadn’t saved Su Haitang, she would have splashed in the lake a few more times.
Thinking of this, he became even more dissatisfied with Lu Jinghuai.
"How come?"
Shen Qingyi and Rong Huoer said in unison, both of them were a little surprised.
Especially Shen Qingyi.
You know, Su Haitang is the heroine and will shine at the banquet, so how could she fall into the lake?
"Maybe she slipped and fell by the lake, or maybe her legs suddenly gave out. Who knows?"
Xiao Jinmian naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to tell the truth.
After all, this is not a glorious act.
Besides, who knows if there are people secretly observing around. If the news leaks out and that old fox Su Taiwei finds out, he will definitely try his best to make trouble for her and Shen Yaoxing.
He didn't dare to be angry with her as a princess in public, but he couldn't be sure what he would do in private.
Assassination and assassination are waiting for her, and she is not destined to resist.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jinmian felt a little scared. You know, he was a powerful official, an arrogant official.
If someone really wanted to assassinate me, my brother might not be able to find out.
I was too impulsive and stupid. If Chen Yaoxing hadn't enlightened me, I would have been in trouble.
"Then she has some bad luck today."
Rong Huoer smiled faintly.
Rong Huoer believed this serious nonsense, but Shen Qingyi didn't believe it at all.
Even if you use your toes to think, you can tell that it was Chen Yaoxing's doing.
Chen Yaoxing is a notorious person who protects his own people, is vindictive, and is always petty.
Knowing that the Su family is their natural enemy, and knowing that the heroine is the culprit who killed their family, how could they let go of such a godsend opportunity?
I'm afraid that when the heroine set a trap for the princess, he took the princess away and took advantage of the situation to throw the heroine into the lake.
The princess must have been with him and knew about this.
The two of them are really in cahoots, and the princess has been led astray by Chen Yaoxing.
But... she likes this result.
wrong!
As if she thought of something, Shen Qingyi frowned and worry flashed across her pretty face.
After he has recovered, General Su will definitely go to the mansion to conduct a thorough investigation. He just hopes that he is secretive enough and does not leave any evidence.
General Su was already holding back a lot of things, and if they were discovered, it would probably not end well.
The three of them chatted for a while, and when they saw it was getting late, two of them left.
When Shen Qingyi returned home, she suddenly remembered that Xiao Yelin seemed to have said that he would come to see her.
She waited in the front hall for almost two hours before finally finding out that he had already left with the emperor.
Knowing that he did not come to find her but left instead, she would have been sad in the past. But now, not only did she not feel sad, but she felt relieved instead.
She really didn't know how to face him.
As night falls, the lights come on brightly.
After a whole day of hard work, Mrs. Shen had already taken Shen Wan back to the house to rest.
Shen Yuanhao and Shen Yaoxing wrote down the prescription carefully, and then went to the study to find Shen Yuanhong to discuss countermeasures.
The other side.
A poorly abused, skinny, tiny bean sprout stood in the Beiyuan yard.
"Miss Su, it's getting late. I'll have my servant take you back first."
Chen Mu looked at the girl in front of him with an indifferent expression. The girl looked as if she had not eaten for a long time. She was weak and frail, as if she would be blown away by the wind.
But those eyes are as bright as stars.
He had difficulty walking and didn't like being around other people, nor did he like seeing other people's mocking, pity, or gloating eyes, so he returned to his yard early.
Unexpectedly, Mo Bai, who was protecting him closely, mentioned a girl who was secretly standing outside the courtyard gate.
Mo Bai was tall and strong, and he carried her like a chick.
The girl seemed to be frightened and trembled.
Chen Mu looked at her carefully and felt that she was too thin. If she exerted even a little force, she would die immediately.
It was clearly early winter, but he was wearing thin summer clothes and his little face was frozen purple.
"Who are you?"
He asked calmly.
But in her mind, she was analyzing that all those who came to her younger sister's hundred-day banquet today were nobles, and even the maids serving them were dressed in bright and beautiful clothes.
It shouldn't be so shabby.
Could it be that this girl sneaked into the mansion?
“I, I…”
The girl stuttered for a long time but couldn't utter a complete sentence.
I don’t know if it was because he was cold or scared.
"If you don't tell me, I can only have someone take you to the banquet and let someone who knows you take you back. If no one takes you out, you know that trespassing into the Duke's Mansion will result in thirty strokes of the cane at the very least."
"No! I, I said..."
Under his intimidation, the girl finally spoke tremblingly.
Su Huanyan, the concubine's daughter of the Su Taiwei Mansion.
Hearing this name, a hint of surprise flashed across Chen Mu's handsome face.
Su Huanyan, isn’t she the girl my younger sister mentioned, the one who committed suicide for him and collected his body?
He frowned. How could a concubine's daughter from the Taiwei Mansion be dressed so poorly?
Is the Su Taiwei Mansion so poor that it can’t even afford to eat?
How could a concubine's daughter be raised to be hungry and malnourished?
"The banquet isn't here, why are you here?"
"I, I'm lost."
Su Huanyan didn't dare look him in the eye, fearing that he would see through her guilty conscience.
