Chapter 178: Two-faced mouth, flipping in and out
Li Yunshang walked towards her with graceful steps, and behind her, a group of young ladies surrounded her.
In an instant, Ye Hanyi was attacked by all kinds of fragrances.
"A-choo!"
She couldn't help but sneeze.
Li Yunshang, who was hit directly, froze for a moment, and then quickly put on her signature calm smile again.
"Sister Hanyi, you're new here and probably don't know everyone yet. Let me introduce you."
Ye Hanyi wanted to speak, but he sneezed again when he opened his mouth.
"Your smell is too strong. I can't stand it."
Everyone: ...
Everyone's expression changed several times, and they tried very hard not to show their anger.
They were using the rouge and powder that were popular in Shangjing, but why did they turn into something smelly in her mouth?
Is this person really Concubine Rou's niece? How come she doesn't look like Concubine Rou at all?
Li Yunshang could hardly maintain the smile on her face.
As expected, he came from a remote area, and was very crude, just like the Seventh Prince.
Everyone dispersed in boredom, and Li Yunshang stood there awkwardly.
Fortunately, Ye Hanyi didn't sneeze again.
Li Yunshang didn't want to be bored either, so she was just looking for an excuse to leave when Ye Hanyi took the initiative to speak, "Miss Li, may I know who the Pingle County Master is?"
Li Yunshang looked around and gestured in the direction of Lu Zhiran.
"That's it."
Ye Hanyi looked in the direction she was looking at and understood.
It turned out to be her.
Li Yunshang asked tentatively, "Sister Hanyi also knows the Princess of Pingle County?"
Ye Hanyi nodded, "I've heard a little bit about it."
She is a woman with a legendary life.
Li Yunshang observed her expression and was unable to tell what she was thinking.
She hesitated and said, "There's something I'm not sure whether I should say it or not."
Ye Hanyi glanced at her and said sympathetically, "If it's inconvenient, forget it."
Li Yunshang was choked and had to find a way out on her own in the end.
"I still think you should know about this."
Ye Hanyi looked confused. Li Yunshang lowered her voice and said, "I heard that Princess Pingle and the Seventh Prince have a close relationship. I'm afraid the Seventh Prince is eyeing Princess Pingle for his concubine this time."
Ye Hanyi's tone became more intense. "Really?"
Li Yunshang nodded. "This matter is no longer a secret in the capital, so there's no need for me to lie. It's just that you, Sister Hanyi, have only just arrived in the capital and haven't heard about it yet."
"I haven't heard much about it. Can you tell me more about it?"
Seeing her anxious look, Li Yunshang confirmed her judgment.
Although she was born in the royal palace in southern Yunnan, it was a frontier area after all. This was her first time back in the capital, and seeing the prosperity here, she must have been dazzled by the wealth and glory. How could she be willing to go back like this?
Lu Zhiran has an unclear relationship with the Seventh Prince, and he might even want to snatch her position as the principal wife. How could she be willing to accept that?
As soon as he showed his true colors, he began to eagerly ask me for information.
Li Yunshang used a very good writing style to exaggerate the relationship between Lu Zhiran and Xiao Yanci. Ye Hanyi's eyes widened as he listened, and he looked in Lu Zhiran's direction from time to time.
Li Yunshang sighed softly, "Sister Hanyi, I know you feel bad..."
Before she could finish her words, Ye Hanyi suddenly stood up and walked towards Lu Zhiran with big strides.
Li Yunshang was stunned, and then a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of her lips.
Idiot, I provoked her into a rage with just a few words.
If she and Lu Zhiran started quarreling on the spot, it would be a good show to watch.
Lu Zhiran noticed someone bumped into her. She turned around and met Ye Hanyi's staring gaze.
Xing Chuxue looked worried and was about to step forward when she was grabbed by Xing Chuying.
"It's none of your business, don't worry about it."
Xing Chuxue couldn't break free and could only worry.
The others also looked in the direction of the two of them. Just when everyone thought they were about to fight, Ye Hanyi turned around and walked away lightly.
Let’s go. Let’s go.
Everyone: ...
That’s it?
So what was she doing? Just wandering around, deliberately bumping into people, and glaring at them, just for fun?
Li Yunshang's expression also froze.
What is Ye Hanyi doing?
Xing Chuying finally let go of Xing Chuxue and quickly stepped forward. "County Lady, are you okay?"
Lu Zhiran smiled and shook her head, "I'm not made of glass. I'll break if I touch it."
Xing Chuxue muttered softly, "This Miss Ye is too scary. She looks like she wants to fight you."
Lu Zhiran touched his cuffs, and an ambiguous look appeared at the corner of his lips.
"Someone who appears gentle and harmless isn't necessarily a good person. And someone who appears fierce and menacing isn't necessarily a bad person. Don't jump to conclusions about people based on a single incident."
Xing Chuxue was immediately filled with shame, "I took it for granted."
"I know you care about me too."
Xing Chuxue smiled a little embarrassedly.
A voice suddenly rang out, "Ah, where is my jade pendant?"
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn to it.
Jiang Jinnian's face was filled with anxiety. "That's my family's ancestral jade pendant. It was there just now. How come it suddenly disappeared?"
Li Yunshang stepped forward and said, "Everyone, please help me look for it."
All the young ladies lowered their heads and began to look for it.
According to Jiang Jinnian's description, the texture of the jade pendant is very special, in the shape of a auspicious cloud, and is very easy to recognize.
Everyone looked around but found nothing.
On the other side, the concubines also noticed something was wrong, so Concubine Li sent someone to inquire.
Jiang Jinnian knelt in front of the concubines, crying, "Your Majesty, my heirloom jade pendant is missing. It's such a great day today, so my parents asked me to bring it out. If I lose it, how will I explain it to you when I get back?"
Concubine Li frowned slightly, "Did you find everything clearly just now?"
Li Yunshang hurriedly said, "Aunt, we just looked everywhere, but we really can't find it."
After a pause, she said hesitantly, "Could it be stolen by someone with dirty hands?"
Jiang Jinnian immediately agreed with this statement, "That must be the case! Please, ladies and gentlemen, make the decision for me!"
Concubine Li's face immediately darkened. "Which bastard dared to do such a thing? He must have been so bold. Where were you just now, and who did you interact with?"
Jiang Jinnian thought carefully and recalled, "Just a quarter of an hour ago, my jade pendant was still there, until just now..."
She paused as she thought of something, then pointed at Lu Zhiran. "Just now, when I passed by Princess Pingle, I noticed something unusual, but I didn't take it seriously at the time. Now it seems that my jade pendant was lost at that time!"
When everyone heard this, they all looked at Lu Zhiran in surprise.
Concubine Rou also looked at Lu Zhiran with an ambiguous look in her eyes.
Xing Chuxue was a little anxious and was about to speak, but was stopped by Lu Zhiran.
She met Jiang Jinnian's gaze and said calmly, "Miss Jiang, everything must be based on evidence. You're two-faced, turning back and forth, and you want to throw dirty water on me. This is a bit too overbearing."
