Chapter 151 Zhao Shiqing is laying mines (two chapters in one)
To cheer up his younger sister, Zhao Tingxuan brought up Zhu Yu's story: "Oh, little sister, didn't you ask about Zhu Yu, the son of the Marquis of Baoqing, last time? You wouldn't have guessed that something bad had happened to him. And, well, forget it, I won't tell you. You're still a little girl, and you wouldn't understand even if I told you."
Zhao Shiqing rolled her eyes: "He became a eunuch?"
Zhao Tingxuan: "You know that too?"
Zhao Shiqing: Of course I know, I did it, bah, I asked the mouse to do it.
But I can't tell the truth, because my second brother will definitely not believe it. How could his innocent and lovely little sister do such a thing?
Zhao Shiqing: "It's all over the capital. I heard it on the street."
So that's how it is. Zhao Tingxuan remembered something else and said, "I also heard something, but I don't know if it's true or not, and it has something to do with us."
"What's the matter?" Zhao Shiqing thought to himself, what his second brother heard must have been heard from the Imperial College. Hero Yan was also a student of the Imperial College. Apart from those who were admitted with real talents and knowledge, the rest were like his second brother and Hero Yan, who were either rich or noble. What came out of their mouths was most likely true.
Zhao Tingxuan's originally calm expression was tinged with anger. "I heard that Madam Wei went to the palace to ask the Emperor to grant Zhu Yu a marriage. Guess which noblewoman she's got her eyes on? You'd never guess!"
Zhao Shiqing was startled, thinking back to the dream. She asked in a deep voice, "Is it my eldest sister? That old woman wants to ask Zhu Yu to marry my eldest sister?"
Zhao Tingxuan was stunned: "How did you guess that?"
Zhao Shiqing: "Don't worry about how I guessed it. Did the emperor agree?"
Zhao Tingxuan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, the emperor is wise and has not agreed. He even sent someone to reprimand Lord Zhu."
Zhao Shiqing's heart finally settled down, but soon, she frowned again: "Second brother, logically this matter shouldn't be spread. Who did you hear it from?"
"Yan'an Earl's nephew, Jiang Ran. But it was not Jiang Ran who told me personally. He was talking to someone and was overheard by someone." Zhao Tingxuan said.
Zhao Shiqing sneered, "Second brother, have you ever considered that Jiang Ran deliberately let you hear this, and that someone instructed him to pass this on to you?"
Zhao Tingxuan was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Zhao Shiqing. He suddenly realized that among the four brothers and sisters, he was the dumbest one.
"Little sister, is my second brother stupid?"
Zhao Shiqing quickly comforted him: "Second brother, you are not stupid, you are just not very smart."
Zhao Tingxuan: "Little sister, thank you, you are really good at comforting people."
Zhao Shiqing: "You're welcome. My grandpa said that eating more fish and seafood will make you smarter. I eat them every day now. Second brother, you should eat them too."
......
Half an hour later, Zhao Shiqing went home with the crystal mirror her second brother bought for her.
When she saw Zhen Wuduo, she showed off the small mirror: "Grandpa, look, the beauty painted on this mirror has blond hair and green eyes. She's really beautiful. I'll ask Xiuxiu to study it and disguise herself like this someday."
Zhen Wuduo: My precious granddaughter is good in every way except her eyesight. How can she be good-looking?
"Granddaughter, how much did your second brother spend on this mirror?"
Zhao Shiqing held up a finger: "One hundred taels."
Zhen Wuduo sighed, "This is Xiao Zhen's merchandise. Huibaozhai is just selling it on his behalf. This mirror isn't worth that much. You've been ripped off by Xiao Zhen."
Zhao Shiqing was shocked and covered her chest exaggeratedly. This was one hundred taels, one hundred taels. She was heartbroken!
Zhen Wuduo continued: "Don't be fooled by Xiao Zhen's outward appearance. He is actually a black-hearted person and very evil. Don't be fooled by him easily."
Zhao Shiqing laughed: "With you here, he wouldn't dare."
But when he saw the mirror in his hand, he felt sad again. He had been cheated out of a hundred taels, and both brother and sister were cheated.
Seeing Zhao Shiqing gritting his teeth, Zhen Wuduo smiled broadly. Want to take his little cabbage? Humph!
Zhao Shiqing returned to his room, only to see Xiaoguai dozing off on the windowsill.
"Hey, you're back so early today."
Since coming to the capital, Xiaoguai has become more and more wild. He often goes out for a whole day and comes back late at night. Zhao Shiqing even suspects that this kid is looking for a wife outside.
"Xiaoguai, you are still young and not old enough to be a father." Zhao Shiqing warned.
Xiaoguai imitated Xiaoyao and wanted to look at Zhao Shiqing with contempt, but unfortunately, there was a difference between the eagle and the cat. Zhao Shiqing did not see contempt in his eyes. On the contrary, she saw light, the light of gossip!
"Be good, tell mother quickly, have you been to the Baoqing Marquis's Mansion again?"
Xiaoguai: When you need something from an eagle, you become your mother. If Xiaoyao hadn't told me that my mother is also an eagle, I would have almost believed you.
But Xiaoguai was an honest child, so he still told Zhao Shiqing what he heard from Baoqing Marquis Mansion.
Unfortunately, his ability to express himself was limited and there was too much information, so his description was disorganized. Zhao Shiqing had to expand his thinking to sort out the clues and grasp the key points from the eagle language.
The clue is that this matches the information given by Li Lao Hu, and the key points are two place names.
Qingjing Temple, the Zhuangzi of Tong'an!
"Lingbo, give Xiaoguai a snack!"
Ling Bo glanced at Xiaoguai's increasingly plump figure and said, "If he eats more, he won't be able to fly."
Zhao Shiqing thought about it and realized that her eagle forehead was indeed a little fatter.
......
The next morning, Zhao Shiqing called over her guards who were so bored that they were scratching the wall.
Loach and Shen Wangxing were curious and followed along.
When Zhao Shiqing saw them coming, he made an assignment. Four of them went out of the city, led by Niu Qiu, to secretly search for a place called Qingjing Temple. The other four were led by Jiang Han to Tong'an to investigate a farm. There was a manager in the farm, who might have the surname Xu, or he might have changed it, but he and his two sons all had hooked noses.
Everything must be done in secret, and if the enemy is alerted, the operation must be stopped immediately.
After the groups were formed, Niu Qiu and Jiang Han happily led their teams away, but Chen Wangxing stood there, looking at Zhao Shiqing pitifully.
"Am I stupid?"
Zhao Shiqing: What's going on? This was the second time she had heard the same sentence in just two days.
"You are not stupid, you are just too naive." This is the truth. Chen Wangxing is indeed not stupid. He is actually very smart. It's just that this child has been brainwashed by his mother since he was a child and has become a naive little white rabbit. Fortunately, he later met Zhao Shiqing and his group, which broadened his horizons and allowed him to see more of good and evil. He finally walked out of that quagmire.
"No one knows you in the capital, so just follow me."
Chen Wangxing was overjoyed. Usually, Zhao Shiqing liked to bring Niqiu with him because Niqiu was born and raised in the capital and knew everyone there. But now Zhao Shiqing sent Niqiu away and brought him with him instead. Of course, Chen Wangxing was happy.
They left as soon as they said they would. Zhao Shiqing asked Xiuxiu to dress her up, and then took Chen Wangxing out.
The place she went to was the grocery store run by Sun Lingzhi's mother's family.
Today, Mrs. Cai is the only one looking after the store. Sun Hongbin ran away since that day and no one knows where he went.
When she saw Zhao Shiqing, Mrs. Cai did not recognize her, after all, she had a different face today.
"What does elder sister want to buy?" asked Mrs. Cai.
Zhao Shiqing pulled out a knife from her bosom and stabbed it into the counter with a "puff". Mrs. Cai screamed in fright, but she quickly calmed down and said in a low voice, "Sister, Sun Hongbin ran away. I really don't know where he ran to. If you want the account, go find him. It's no use looking for me. I don't have any money."
Sure enough, Mrs. Cai thought that Zhao Shiqing came to Sun Hongbin to collect a debt.
Zhao Shiqing smiled coldly: "I'm not looking for him, I'm looking for you."
Mrs. Cai's heart trembled. She thought of Sun Lingzhi and asked hurriedly, "Is it that my girl has caused trouble again?"
Ever since Sun Lingzhi became pregnant again, Mrs. Cai has been worried. Now that Zhu Yu has lost power, Mrs. Cai is even more worried. Sun Lingzhi said that Zhu Yu is much more generous than Marquis Zhu. She can no longer rely on Zhu Yu in the future. It will be even more difficult to ask Sun Lingzhi to support her parents' family.
Seeing that Mrs. Cai was indeed thinking of Sun Lingzhi, Zhao Shiqing said, "Marquis Zhu has another child outside, and he has two at once. Sun Lingzhi doesn't know about this yet. If you tell her about it, you will definitely get some benefits."
Sure enough, Mrs. Cai looked disappointed at first, but later when she heard that she could get benefits from Sun Lingzhi, her eyes lit up again.
This mother has feelings for her daughter, but not much.
Zhao Shiqing left after she finished speaking. Today Xiuxiu put on a "big sister makeup" for her. Yes, it was a big sister makeup, a makeup that would make Mrs. Cai call her big sister.
So now, she and Shen Wangxing are like a mother and son.
Zhao Shiqing was enjoying the painless pleasure of being a mother. She said to Shen Wangxing, "Let's go shopping."
Not to mention Zhao Shiqing and Shen Wangxing shopping, Mrs. Cai hurriedly closed the shop door and went to the Baoqing Marquis Mansion.
The current Baoqing Marquis Mansion is a picture of decline. Even the doorman at the back door looks listless.
Fortunately, this time, Mrs. Cai didn't need to go through Tao Fen and easily called Sun Lingzhi out.
Mrs. Cai did not dare to waste time and hurriedly told Sun Lingzhi that the woman outside the Marquis Zhu was pregnant. When she heard that she was pregnant with two children at once, she guessed who the pregnant woman was.
They are the pair of sisters that the old pervert has just taken in.
Great, I just dealt with Aunt Lan, and now I have a pair of sisters.
They are all bitches. How can they be worthy of bearing children in the Marquis' Mansion?
Mrs. Cai didn't hear Sun Lingzhi's voice and was about to ask, but she met Sun Lingzhi's eyes.
Mrs. Cai couldn't help but shiver. Even though the person in front of her was her own child, she was still frightened.
What kind of eyes are these? They look like they want to kill someone, but also like they have killed someone before.
Mrs. Cai suddenly felt very scared. She had a premonition that if she made Sun Lingzhi angry, Sun Lingzhi might really kill her.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Cai did not dare to stay for long. She found an excuse and left in a hurry, even forgetting to ask Sun Lingzhi for benefits.
Sun Lingzhi returned to her small courtyard and became more and more angry the more she thought about it. She held her stomach and persuaded herself to stay calm.
Now that those two bitches are living outside, let them live a few more days and wait until they move into the mansion.
People’s desires will become stronger and stronger, and so will their desire to kill.
Now Sun Lingzhi is no longer satisfied with letting the two women have abortions, she wants them to die.
They are young and in good health, unlike her, who had lost a baby before, so it was not easy for her to get pregnant this time.
But the sisters were different. They were in good health and were deeply loved by the Marquis. The Marquis made love with them every day, so it was easy for them to get pregnant.
So they must die with the babies in their belly. Only when they die can the possibility of getting pregnant again be completely eliminated.
Sun Lingzhi was so overwhelmed by murderous intent that she didn't even think about how Mrs. Cai got such secret information.
Sun Lingzhi waited for three days, and after three days, Lord Zhu really brought the sisters into his mansion.
In fact, he didn't want to take them over, but Mrs. Wei didn't agree.
Old Madam Wei was worried that those two vixens had no self-control and would have affairs with Marquis Zhu even after getting pregnant. What would she do if they accidentally hurt her grandson?
So Madam Wei forced Lord Zhu to bring the sisters into her house.
But this time, Madam Wei and Marquis Zhu both did not want to hand the sisters over to Ma.
Old Madam Wei was worried that Aunt Lan had a miscarriage because of Ma's poor care, and she was worried that the sisters would repeat the same mistake if they were handed over to Ma.
As for Marquis Zhu, his idea was very simple. Ma was disfigured, and Marquis Zhu was worried that it would scare his sons.
Therefore, it was natural for the sisters to move into Madam Wei's Chunhui Hall.
Xiaoguai is hardworking and never complains. As soon as the sisters moved in, Xiaoguai told Zhao Shiqing.
Zhao Shiqing smiled. Now she didn't need to help, as Sun Lingzhi's target became Chunhuitang.
Old Madam Wei still lives in Chunhui Hall.
Zhao Shiqing actually wanted to know what expression Madam Wei would have when she found out that the nun and Xu Kun's brother were both missing.
Unfortunately, the people sent out have not returned yet, and Zhao Shiqing doesn’t even know whether they have found the people she is looking for.
So now Zhao Shiqing can only lay mines, hoping that Sun Lingzhi can make more efforts.
At this time, when she learned that there were two more concubines in the Marquis' Mansion, Concubine Lan knew what was going on.
These sisters must be pregnant.
Although Aunt Lan really couldn't see through things before, after her miscarriage, she finally figured it out while lying alone in bed.
She knew that it must be Sun Lingzhi who killed her child.
So now she is also waiting and watching.
However, Zhao Shiqing, who had planted the seeds of revenge in Marquis Baoqing, had already left the capital and was on her way to Tong'an.
Just yesterday, Zhao Shiqing received the news sent back by Jiang Han.
They searched Tong'an but couldn't find the manor of Marquis Baoqing. Not only was there no manor belonging to the Zhu family, but there was also no manor belonging to the Wei or Ma families. In other words, the masters of Marquis Baoqing did not have a manor in Tong'an.
Jiang Han didn't want to go back in disgrace, so for several days he went around Tong'an to gather information.
Finally, he found out that there was a manor just outside Tong'an City, but the owner of the manor was not the Baoqing Marquis Mansion, but a shopkeeper named Jin.
Further investigation revealed that Manager Jin had another identity: he was the chambermaid of Madam Wei in the Marquis of Baoqing's Mansion.
Finally found the right place.
Zhao Shiqing decided to go to Tong'an in person. She wanted to see with her own eyes what the person who looked similar to Xu Kun looked like.
