Chapter 209 Imitating Shen Qingtan
In the private room on the second floor, Mr. Luo stood in front of the window. Seeing Shen Lue walking away with steady steps and big strides, his face gradually became gloomy.
He turned the jade beads in his hands and came from the second floor to the private room on the first floor.
In the private room, there were wine jars all over the floor, and the people serving the wine were staggering around.
Mr. Luo's eyes fell on Pei Wuyan and he snorted coldly: "Useless trash."
Due to the status of the Zhenbei Palace, they dared not act too blatantly and had to get rid of Shen Lue without anyone noticing.
Pei Wuyan knew Shen Lue, so they arranged for Pei Wuyan to get Shen Lue drunk and then kill him quietly.
If the King of Zhenbei investigated, he would only find out that Shen Lue slept with the woman chosen by the commander of the Jinyiwei.
The woman was chaste and virtuous. She accidentally killed Shen Lue and then committed suicide.
The commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard is the confidant of Emperor Jing'an. He is ruthless and not a good person.
If the Prince of Zhenbei dares to investigate the commander and offend this great Buddha, the prince's palace will surely suffer the consequences.
When two people of equal strength fight each other, the final outcome will inevitably be a loss for both.
From the beginning to the end, Mr. Luo never thought about only having one leg.
If they are brought back alive, with the methods used by the King of Zhenbei, he will definitely follow the clues and find them.
Chen Lue had a good alcohol tolerance and was not drunk, so they did not dare to attack him, which allowed Chen Lue to escape danger.
Mr. Luo wrote a letter and asked his confidant to deliver it to the Duke's Mansion.

In Mingde Hall, the second wife and the second master were having dinner.
Shen Mingzhu stood beside the second wife and served her food.
The second wife had no appetite and only moved her chopsticks a few times before putting them down.
Shen Mingzhu handed over a cup of tea, helped the second lady rinse her mouth, and then handed her a handkerchief to wipe her mouth.
The second lady put down her handkerchief, and her eyes caught sight of Shen Mingzhu's dress, and her brows furrowed tightly.
"What are you wearing?" The Second Madam's face darkened and she asked sternly, "Are you imitating that bitch's dressing style?"
Shen Mingzhu's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly explained, "Mother, I didn't dress like my second sister-in-law. Maybe the embroiderer gave me a pattern, and I just happened to choose the same one."
The Second Madam grabbed Shen Mingzhu's hair and pulled it: "Hairstyles are also very popular nowadays. Your maid combed your hair and it just happened to be the same hairstyle as this bitch's?"
Shen Mingzhu felt pain, did not dare to struggle, and cried in grievance.
The Marquis's Mansion collapsed and she lost her backing.
Shen Qingtan found his biological parents and his status rose rapidly.
Zhao Jue regretted it and wanted to get Shen Qingtan.
Shen Mingzhu wanted to gain a foothold in the second house, and her only magic weapon was a child. However, the baby in her belly was gone, and she had been hiding it from the people in the mansion, planning to adopt a child and pretend that it was her own.
This is the worst option.
After all, truth will come out sooner or later.
Zhao Jue now hates her and will not touch her again.
A crazy idea came to her mind. She wanted to dress like Shen Qingtan and trick Zhao Jue into her bed when he was drunk so that she could get pregnant again.
Even if it is revealed at that time, if she is pregnant with another child, she can still keep her current position.
Today she changed into this outfit and imitated Shen Qingtan's every move and smile in front of the bronze mirror. She was called to Mingde Hall by the Second Madam's maid to serve the Second Madam at meal time, and she didn't have time to change out of it.
The Second Madam loathed Shen Qingtan to the extreme and didn't even want to look at him.
Shen Mingzhu imitated Shen Qingtan's dress and walked in front of her, provoking her anger.
The Second Madam let go: "Get out."
Shen Mingzhu left crying.
The second wife felt a pain in her chest, and felt that her life was miserable. The man she married was incompetent, her son was promising, but the daughter-in-law she married was a jinx who brought bad luck to their family.
She said bitterly: "Shen Mingzhu can't help Jue'er, I have to think of a way..."
The second master said calmly, "Dad has said that if Shen Mingzhu really died of illness or an accident, he will separate our family."
The second wife was so angry that she was shaking all over. The old woman was afraid that they would force Shen Mingzhu to vacate her position and would harm her.
At this time, a maid came in with a letter and handed it respectfully to the second lady.
The second wife opened the letter and her face turned pale after reading its contents.
"Something that is not enough to accomplish anything, but more than enough to cause trouble."
Can't even deal with a warrior!
The second wife gritted her teeth and hurriedly wrote a letter back to Mr. Luo, asking him to wait and see what happened.
She didn't believe that if Shen Lue had gotten away with it this time, he would be lucky enough to get away with it again next time.
The second wife covered her aching heart with her hands, and broke out in cold sweats due to the pain.
The maid exclaimed, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
The second wife was speechless and her lips turned purple.
The maid quickly helped the second lady lie down on the couch and told someone to call the palace doctor.
The court doctor came hurriedly with his medicine box on his back and took the Second Madam's pulse. "Second Madam, you've been worrying too much and have developed a heart disease."
The second wife's face was pale, her back was cold, and her clothes were soaked with cold sweat.
The last time, the doctor told her not to overwork or worry, otherwise it would be bad for her health.
The court doctor said, "I'll prescribe some medicine for you."
The Second Madam nodded weakly.
The court doctor wrote down the prescription and left the second room.
The second lady ordered her maid to boil the medicine.
At this time, another maid came in holding a porcelain jar: "Second Madam, the palace has distributed dried flowers to each room for the masters to take a bath."
The second wife's heart moved, and she said weakly, "Show me the flowers in the jar."
The maid held the porcelain jar and handed it to the Second Madam: "There are some dried flowers in it."
The Second Lady caught a glimpse of the jasmine flowers in the porcelain jar, her eyes darkened for a moment, and she immediately understood why the palace distributed flowers to each room.
Is Shen Qingtan behind this?
After all, she helps run the household.
The Second Madam curled her lips. Shen Qingtan was going to lose one move after all this time.
She couldn't help but look forward to the end of the month.
