Meng Rui, who has always been delicate and delicate, has never experienced such things.
She covered her face with her hands and couldn't speak for a long time. She was also being held back by the maid, so she couldn't hit anyone even if she wanted to.
She originally wanted to show off Ye Zhixing's love for her, but she was slapped so many times for no reason, which was really a bad start.
"Lu Jinyue, don't be so complacent! Just wait to die!" When beating someone failed, she threatened them. Lu Jinyue didn't have the time to deal with her.
She walked around the yard and found that there were several other women living there besides her and Meng Rui.
I really hated Ye Zhixing to the extreme.
Such a person is not worth Lu Jinyue's sadness.
Xiao Shuang, who followed Lu Jinyue, had never realized that she was such a violent woman. She couldn't help but lower her head to reduce her presence.
Ever since the Hua siblings learned of Lu Jinyue's whereabouts, they have been hiding in an ordinary inn.
They disguised themselves as fur traders who came here to do business, and took the opportunity to inquire about things while doing business with the vendors.
"The world is really bad nowadays. People have little to offer, and taxes keep increasing. How can we survive?"
"That's right. After paying the grain tax, we have to pay the head tax and the tribute to the emperor! All the money we earn goes into paying taxes!"
"Don't say that. We are doing well under the Crown Prince's rule. Look at other cities!"
After hearing this, everyone shut up in disappointment. Everyone knew that ever since the prince came to Huaizhou, the taxes and fees here have deviated from their previous track.
With the policy of lenient admission and strict exit, all these strong men entered the prince's army. Occasionally, a few who were unwilling to do so would voluntarily join their team after having a drink with the prince.
The Crown Prince wants to confront the current emperor, and it is these law-abiding people who suffer!
Posters on the streets and alleys showed all the bad things Emperor Shen Yunxiao had done, as well as his portrait.
Wherever these notices were posted, they were surrounded by indignant people.
Hua Wuyang was furious. He felt that the people here were simply hopeless!
They were completely trapped in the illusion created for them by Shen Yunheng!
The entire Huaizhou was in a state of chaos. The prefect here had been killed long ago, and the country had become Shen Yunheng's world.
During the days when Lu Jinyue was away, Shen Yunxiao had a stern face even when he went to court.
No one dared to breathe, for fear of angering the giant Buddha.
"If you're really worried, go ahead."
In the bamboo hut, a white-haired old man was reading a book. Without even looking, one could feel the anxiety and worry emanating from Shen Yunxiao's body.
"I, I" he said twice and didn't say anything else.
"Go." The next moment, only the white-haired old man was left in the room.
The bamboo wind chimes under the eaves swayed gently, making bursts of crisp sounds.
He is still alone in his twilight years, but living one more year has already paid off.
Eunuch Ma made all the necessary arrangements for Shen Yunxiao, taking everything he needed with him. He also needed to take care of the Lu family living in the palace, and he quickly looked several years older.
"Brother-in-law, you must go back quickly and don't forget to avenge grandma!"
The little boy Lu Xiuyuan sat astride his horse, hugged his waist, and buried his head in his chest.
"Got it. You have to be obedient at home. You can read all the books in the study. If you come across something you don't know, just ask your brother."
Shen Yunxiao pulled him out of his arms, put his hands under his armpits and handed him carefully to Lu Mingchuan.
It was getting late and he was about to set off. He was dressed in military uniform, which made him look very energetic.
The horse under him snorted twice, neighed, and sped away in a cloud of dust.
That night, the Prince's Mansion was brightly lit. As she was close by, the sounds of stringed instruments and orchestras reached Lu Jinyue's ears.
With Xiaoshuang's help in dressing up, Lu Jinyue changed into the prepared Bishui Qingyan Luo shirt, which was made of soft Yan Luo, which was worth no less than a hundred taels.
She had a complicated bun on her head with three golden hairpins inserted diagonally.
She looked adorned with jewels, sparkling in the candlelight.
But not everyone has the courage to look into those sharp eyes.
After leaving the courtyard and walking a few steps, he arrived at the Prince's Mansion. The sounds of stringed instruments became clearer, and a woman's laughter could be heard faintly.
When she came closer, the laughter stopped abruptly.
Everyone was looking at her quietly, some with inquiry, some with contempt, and some with questioning.
But Lu Jinyue soon caught a malicious look from Meng Rui who was sitting next to Ye Zhixing.
Her face was so badly injured that she covered it with a veil, which made her look even more frivolous.
When Ye Zhixing saw her coming, he smiled and waved at her, but Lu Jinyue pretended not to see her and sat in a remote corner.
The one sitting at the top seat was of course the former crown prince Shen Yunheng. His face was indeed 70% similar to Shen Yunxiao, but his temperament was completely different.
Shen Yunxiao's evilness is shown on the surface. He is decisive and unyielding in killing people.
But Shen Yunheng is evil to the core, he is insidious, cunning, hypocritical and evil.
Lu Jinyue subconsciously didn't want to compare the two people together. How could Shen Yunheng be compared with Shen Yunxiao?
"I'm having some trouble adapting to the local climate here, I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince won't blame me." Ye Zhixing stood up and bowed to Chen Yunheng.
"No, I'm not such a stingy person." Shen Yunheng waved his hand cheerfully and asked Ye Zhixing to sit down.
The singing and dancing continued. The dancers were dressed coolly, but their revealing dance costumes could not hide their beautiful figures under the flickering candlelight.
It can even be said that only the key parts are covered, and every face has a charming smile.
Lu Jinyue simply couldn't bear to watch. What kind of taste do these people have? It's so boring!
Lu Jinyue was only focused on eating and didn't look at those charming women.
"I heard there's a talented woman in the capital who's good at making weapons and knows foreign languages. Madam Ye, can you guess who this person is?"
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with two small mustaches on his mouth, which made him look very much like Prime Minister Turtle. If you didn't look carefully, you would probably mistake him for a turtle.
Lu Jinyue laughed before she spoke. No one understood what made her laugh, so they looked at her in confusion.
"Sister, are you perhaps too happy to see His Royal Highness? But you should also be mindful of your image. Don't let others think you're some ignorant, infatuated beauty."
Meng Rui's voice, which made people feel physically uncomfortable, was heard, earning a roll of the eyes from Lu Jinyue.
"You have neither breasts nor brains, so don't try to get insulted." Lu Jinyue didn't even bother to glance at her, and turned to look at Shen Yunheng who had a calm expression.
"Do you have the right to interrupt when Lord Qin is speaking?"
Before coming, Xiaoshuang explained to her the people who would be attending the banquet and their respective positions.
This Lord Qin is one of Shen Yunheng's staff members, and the most recognizable thing about him is his two small mustaches.
Shen Yunheng has more than one staff member, including Lord Wang, Lord Li and Lord Zhao.
Is it him?
