Zhizhi didn't see Nie Rong because he had already turned and left.
When he left, he gloomily instructed the secret guards not to let strangers get close to Zhizhi, especially Lin Piaoyi.
The dark guard said yes.
Zhizhi chatted with the cheerful wife of the official, and learned that she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the current Princess.
She was very surprised.
After asking carefully, I found out that the eldest daughter-in-law Hui Niang came from a family of military generals and was raised in the frontier since childhood, so her personality is very different from that of people in the capital.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is the elder sister of the current emperor. Her husband died early, but she gave birth to two sons and three daughters.
Hearing this, Zhizhi gently touched her belly, and the system said there was only one baby inside.
I don't know whether it's a boy or a girl. It would be great if it was a girl. She could marry a son-in-law like the eldest princess did. For Zhizhi, a prince consort is also a kind of son-in-law.
Hui Niang went on to say that she and her husband were in a free love relationship, so she was not very favored by the eldest princess. However, her younger sister-in-law was the eldest princess's cousin, and was eloquent and liked by the eldest princess. Today's banquet was organized by the second daughter-in-law.
The eldest princess's two sons both served as officials in the court. The eldest son was a fourth-rank official, and the second son was a fifth-rank official. They were considered promising young men.
Hui Niang obviously had a harmonious relationship with her husband, but the same could not be said for the second daughter-in-law.
Zhizhi turned around and saw her second daughter-in-law talking to Lin Piaoyi in the front row.
Hui Niang explained, "In fact, outsiders don't know that the red makeup shop was opened by her and Lin Piaoyi together."
Zhizhi was surprised that it was like this.
As they were talking, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was nearly fifty years old, walked in.
She was in good shape. Seeing this, the second daughter-in-law Yanniang quickly stood up and went to support her, and Huiniang followed.
The eldest princess did not lose face in front of everyone. She looked solemn when she glanced at Zhizhi, but she was overjoyed when she saw Lin Piaoyi.
She took Lin Piaoyi's hand and said with a smile,
"My dear child, you are a pearl covered in dust. You are really pretty."
Lin Piaoyi blushed slightly and said timidly, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Highness. She is no match for the concubine of the Prince Regent's Palace. She is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen."
Her Royal Highness the Princess pretended not to hear and only smiled, "I heard you say you've read Buddhist scriptures. There aren't many girls like you these days."
Lin Piaoyi just lowered her head and smiled.
Soon, the banquet began.
I saw a group of musicians coming out of the house to perform.
After a while, Zhizhi couldn't stand the noise anymore.
She felt a little depressed and quietly led Xiaohong out.
After a while, Lin Piaoyi also left quietly.
Xiaohong was very upset the whole way, "Madam, those people are so rude, they actually belittled you like that!"
Zhizhi shook her head, "I'll leave the Princess's Mansion later, I——"
As they were walking, a maid suddenly appeared from the path and ran straight towards Zhizhi.
The wine he was holding also spilled onto Zhizhi, soaking a large area of her clothes.
Xiaohong said angrily, "How did you walk? You got my wife's clothes wet."
The maid trembled, "It's my fault for this guest. Please go to the inner courtyard and change your clothes."
Seeing that she looked really pitiful, Zhizhi nodded.
There were spare clothes for the concubines in the house, and Zhizhi changed into them in no time.
Zhizhi finally changed her clothes, but when she came out, she found that Xiaohong was missing.
And the maid was not there and the door was locked.
She was shocked, oh no!
Fell into a trap!
"Beauty, my beauty!"
Suddenly, a drunken muffled voice was heard in the compartment. Zhizhi turned around and saw a drunk man who was about to pounce on her.
She quickly dodged.
The drunk man was unhappy. He stared at Zhizhi, afraid that he would miss such beauty if he was distracted.
In all his life, he had never seen such a stunning beauty!
She is much prettier than his yellow-faced wife.
Seeing Zhizhi's pitiful and delicate appearance, he came up with a plan and said,
"Beauty, if you obey me, I will give you all my wealth."
Zhizhi felt sick in her throat. She glared at the man with a cold brow and sneered.
"A toad wants to eat swan flesh, but he doesn't even consider his own weight."
The man became furious and raised his hand to hit Zhizhi.
Zhizhi walked quickly to the window and was about to push it, but it was suddenly opened. The secret guard said in surprise,
"My lady is here!"
In an instant, people in black clothes rushed out.
They knocked the man unconscious with a stick and threw another person in through the window.
Zhizhi felt that the man looked familiar.
Wait, isn’t that the top performer in the incense business?
She looked at the two people who had fainted in shock.
After a while, a voice came from outside the house.
"Sister Yan, don't worry. That bitch can't escape the Second Young Master's clutches. Once we're done, we can shift the blame to someone else..."
It’s Lin Piaoyi!
Sister Yan, could it be the eldest princess’ second daughter-in-law, Yan Niang?
The secret guards hid quietly again.
Zhizhi thought to herself, these people are really having fun.
The two of them waited outside the door for a moment. "Why is there no sound from inside? Did that little bastard escape?"
Yan Niang sneered, "Her personal maid is still here, maybe she has been..."
Lin Piaoyi smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister Yan is indeed very knowledgeable. I will go and lead the Princess and the others over. Sister Yan, please don't let the people inside come out later."
Yan Niang urged impatiently,
"I know, run faster, or we'll ruin your plan and you'll be in big trouble. You haven't returned the five thousand taels I gave you at the Red Makeup Shop yet!"
Lin Piaoyi's face twisted for a moment, but she finally held her breath.
If she had not been reported by her rival and fined tens of thousands of taels, she would not have owed this man so much.
When you make money, you call me sister affectionately, but when you lose money, you turn around and ignore me. It's really unlucky.
Yan Niang was almost caught cheating by her husband. In order to dispel her husband's suspicion, she decided to catch her husband's cheating first.
Lin Piaoyi didn't dare to run slower because she also wanted to kill Zhizhi.
It can be said that the two of them had long wanted to harm Zhizhi.
Not long after Lin Piaoyi left, Yanniang became impatient.
Suddenly, she staggered and felt dizzy.
Yanniang shook her head, pushed the door open dizzily, and wanted to find a place to sit down and relax.
However, a hand suddenly grabbed her.
She was startled and knocked unconscious before she could see the person's face clearly.
Zhizhi dropped the stick and found out that she had been drugged.
She snorted coldly, Lin Piaoyi is really calculating!
It’s a series of traps!
First, she colluded with Yan Niang to get Yan Niang's husband drunk, then lured her over, and then asked Yan Niang to keep watch here. In fact, she had already arranged for Yan Niang's lover to hide, and was just waiting for Yan Niang to faint so that she could do her thing.
As a result, when Lin Piaoyi brought everyone here, the house was not only in a mess, but also extremely chaotic.
Who would believe that all this was done by her?
I'm afraid the saliva will drown the four of them!
If she hadn't happened to have seen the top prostitute in the incense business, who would have guessed the relationship between Yan Niang and him.
Zhizhi looked at the three people who had fainted on the ground and suddenly came up with an idea.
