Chapter 50: Investigate Li Jiaojiao
"Hiss" she took a deep breath and exhaled slowly after it passed through her lungs.
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she cried, "Ever since Su Luo came into my life, the prince no longer favors me in everything..."
"It's a waste of my time to give him a pair of children."
Dongyan knelt down, not daring to speak, and Shaoyao beside her didn't even dare to look up.
She had just pointed out that Li Jiaojiao had poisoned Nan Jie'er, and now... she didn't know how Li Jiaojiao would punish her.
After Su Luo left the Marquis' Mansion that day, Zhou Yan left without even giving Li Jiaojiao a glance.
Li Ziyan slapped her and warned her not to do it again.
The look her uncle gave her also contained a warning.
After she handed her two children to the wet nurse, she took the children out with her.
Li Jiaojiao had never felt that her future was so bleak. That Su Luo was really hard to deal with.
She clenched the pipe in her hand, took a deep puff, and actually had hallucinations.
In the illusion, Zhou Yan abandoned Su Luo and promoted her to be the prince's consort. Even her aunt slapped Su Luo several times.
After being slapped, everyone put Su Luo in a pig cage.
Su Luo was so miserable that Li Jiaojiao laughed out loud!
She laughed and slapped the car wall, looking like a madman. After she finished her last cigarette, the hallucination suddenly disappeared. Li Jiaojiao realized it was a dream and her face fell immediately.
She clenched her fist unwillingly, her eyes showing jealousy and the desire for revenge.
feel.
"Where's the cigarette?" Li Jiaojiao glared at Dongyan, looking like she hadn't had enough of smoking.
"The one you just smoked was the last one..." Dong Yan answered carefully. Seeing Li Jiaojiao's face fall, she immediately said, "Don't worry, young lady. We'll be at Huayan Lake soon. Let's buy some more to take back."
The carriage stopped in front of Huayan Lake.
Huayan Lake is located at the foot of Fushan Mountain outside the imperial city. It is famous for its flowers and fruit trees. The next street is Pingmingfang, which is a bustling place.
There are taverns, inns, black market shops, and many outsiders renting houses here.
When Aunt Dan saw Li Jiaojiao get off the carriage after covering her face tightly, she hurriedly said to Hong Zhi, "Go to the Su Mansion quickly and tell the Crown Prince's Consort to come over."
"Then what will you do..." Hong Zhi was worried.
"How can I, a living person like me, be eaten?" Aunt Dan hurriedly said, "Go quickly, drive the carriage, and go faster."
Afterwards, Aunt Dan got off the carriage, turned her back to Li Jiaojiao and the other person, and glanced at them from time to time.
Half an hour later.
Su Luo arrived.
Today she was wearing a neat pure white waisted gauze dress. Her black hair was tied into two rings, hanging behind her ears on both sides, and her lower hair was half-draped. It was cool and simple, giving people a refreshing feeling of green mountains after rain.
She was waving a round feather fan with a silver-rimmed edge in her hand. Although it was not hot, she fanned herself subconsciously, covering half of her face and observing her surroundings.
Then he saw Aunt Dan not far away, stealthily following a veiled woman.
I guess that must be Li Jiaojiao.
Su Luo did not go to find Aunt Dan immediately. After all, they had not yet reached a cooperation, and it would be bad if she was implicated.
Aunt Dan looked around and waited anxiously, wondering what Hong Zhi had said and why the Crown Prince's Consort hadn't arrived yet.
Li Jiaojiao went to Pingmingfang next door.
Pingmingfang and Jiazi Street are full of wine shops and various stores, and many people come here to conduct black market transactions.
Li Jiaojiao took Shaoyao and Dongyan and walked straight to Silversmith Shop No. 23.
The silversmith, wearing a short coat with a slanted collar, swung his hammer again and again. When he saw Li Jiaojiao, he smiled and said, "Miss, do you want to make something silver?"
"Make a three-inch long and seven-inch short silver pipe, and engrave it with 'Misty and rainy color, empty mirror illusion, deathly pleasure'" Li Jiaojiao took out three hundred taels of silver notes from her sleeve and handed it over with a smile.
Ordinary silverware wouldn't cost that much. When the silversmith heard Li Jiaojiao's words, he understood what she was going to do and said with a smile, "Dear guest, please come in."
He took the banknote and shouted inside, "Manager Li, the distinguished guest has arrived. Quickly make some tea and have him seated."
With her back to Li Jiaojiao, Aunt Dan pretended to fiddle with a hairpin in the silver shop. The silversmith noticed her and came over to ask, "Excuse me, madam, what are you planning to buy?"
Aunt Dan didn't know what Li Jiaojiao was doing there, so she said, "Buy the same things as the girl just now."
The silversmith frowned slightly. "Please repeat what she bought. I forgot."
How could he have forgotten so quickly? Aunt Dan quickly realized that the silversmith was testing her.
Why was he testing her? Was that a code word? What shameful thing was Li Jiaojiao buying?
Aunt Dan hesitated and said from memory, "I also want to carve a silver pipe three inches long and seven inches short, engrave... engrave... words, colors, Kong Jing, something... the joy of silk making..."
Aunt Dan never figured out what this code meant.
The silversmith smiled, but his expression changed slightly and he stopped what he was doing. "Isn't it possible that Madam followed the young lady in front?"
“No, no, no!” Aunt Dan sensed the danger and took a step back: “It’s okay, I won’t buy it——”
"Madam, just because you say you don't want to buy it, then you don't have to buy it? How is that possible? Since you want a pipe, just go upstairs and take a look!" The silversmith smiled and grabbed Aunt Dan's wrist.
"Ah! Song——" Before Aunt Dan could finish her words, her mouth was covered and she was forcibly abducted!
Su Luo, who was following ten steps away, felt a tightness in her heart.
Aunt Dan's secret has been exposed.
But Su Luo was also very curious about what Li Jiaojiao bought.
How to save Aunt Dan?
She was observing the silver shop, but she never imagined that Wen Zixi, dressed in a light blue robe, was also looking at him under the porch of a tavern a few dozen steps away.
as well as……
Sitting in the luxurious carriage, Mo Jin slightly lifted the curtain to look at her.
