Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 154: Traveling through the Prince's Mansion 33

The fact that Butcher Zhang can still stand here now only proves that Butcher Zhang has passed the government's review.

But the Zhao family didn't want to give up. They came to the shop to cause trouble every few days and robbed money and pork.

In order to settle the matter peacefully, Butcher Zhang gave the Zhao family fifteen taels of silver. But just a few days later, the Zhao family came again and asked for another fifty taels.

Butcher Zhang refused to give any more money, so the Zhao family started to make a scene and smashed the shop.

Gu Li frowned upon hearing this, and Chu Yansheng took the opportunity to push Bai Shuang aside and stand beside her. He bent down slightly and leaned close to Gu Li's ear, and asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Does the county lady still think that Butcher Zhang is the heinous person?"

An inexplicable warmth sprayed on the earlobe and penetrated into the cochlea, making Gu Li shiver with itchiness. She subconsciously tilted her head to rub off the numbness.

But before her ear touched her shoulder, her head touched Chu Yansheng's head, and the silk hairpin got entangled in his hair. At the slightest movement, Chu Yansheng covered his head in a hissing sound.

"County Lady, spare my life!"

Gu Li:----

There was no time to gossip, so Gu Li and Chu Yansheng stood together and left the crowd.

"Oh, my scalp!" Chu Yansheng, who was very close to Gu Li, didn't care how indecent his bending posture was, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

The air around them suddenly became fresher, and Gu Li's mind became much clearer. She rolled her eyes, raised her hand and pulled out the hairpin from her bun, and placed it on Chu Yansheng's head.

"Since Master Chu likes this hairpin so much, I will give it to you! This is how I repay Master Chu for saving my life!"

Chu Yansheng, who tilted his head, refused to recognize her. He stood up straight and quickly tidied away the hairpin that was tangled in his hair.

"The grace of saving my life should be repaid with my body! This hairpin can be regarded as a token of love between the county lady and this prince!"

As he said this, he quickly put it into his collar as if he was afraid that Gu Li would snatch it away.

Gu Li was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned away.

Chu Yansheng came over with a smile, "County Lady, why don't we make a bet?"

Gu Li had a bad feeling, but Chu Yansheng didn't give her a chance to object. "If I can find out the murder case of Butcher Zhang within three days, you must promise to marry me!"

Gu Li:----

What does Butcher Zhang have to do with her? Why is he gambling with her marriage?

But he said it without thinking, "Okay. But the murder case in Butcher Zhang's family doesn't just refer to Zhao Liu's death. You also have to find the missing butcher's wife."

"to make!"

Chu Yansheng could see that Gu Li was tempted by his proposal today. The county lord was just waiting for an opportunity.

As long as his request was met, he would create any favorable opportunity for the county lady.

three days later.

Liu Baijiao, who had originally planned to stay in the Prince's Mansion until the end of his confinement, was released from confinement early by an oral order from the emperor.

The reason was that as the only closest relative of Princess Anping in the capital, he had to help the princess handle the marriage proposal from Duke Dingguo's mansion.

Liu Baijiao, who had escorted the eunuch beside the emperor all the way to the gate of the palace, was still in a daze for a long time.

Is there anyone coming to ask for Gu Li's hand in marriage?

The cousin who was originally dependent on him is getting married?

The man who wanted to marry his cousin turned out to be Prince Chu, who had once drunk wine and rode horses with him in Jing Street!

Chu Yansheng even went to the emperor to ask for the imperial decree to grant him marriage. In order not to affect the reception of the decree the day after tomorrow, the chief eunuch actually came out of the palace to release him from his confinement.

Liu Bojiao felt doubly angry at being betrayed by his family and brothers.

When did Chu Yansheng set his sights on my cousin?

He had just been married for a short time, and his cousin had always been his fiancée. How dare that bastard Chu Yansheng steal his girl!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Liu Baijiao lifted his robe and strode out of the mansion, "Come on, prepare the horses!"

Liu Baijiao searched all the entertainment places he used to go but couldn't find Chu Yansheng. He asked his former drinking buddies and they said that Chu Yansheng had not been out drinking for a long time and had been to the Dali Temple in recent days. It seemed that he didn't intend to hang out in the playboy circle in the future.

Liu Baijiao's rage reached a peak.

Is this because my cousin has put away his playboy heart?

Is it just to highlight his unbearableness?

Liu Baijiao was wandering aimlessly on the street, and the horse unexpectedly brought him to the entrance of Wanhua Tower as if he was familiar with the place.

Looking up at the blurred plaque under the sunlight, Liu Baijiao laughed silently. When he got off the horse, he looked like a cynical dandy again.

As soon as Liu Baijiao went out, he was like a monkey that had been locked in a cage for too long. Once it was free, it ran far away and wished it would never come back.

Liu Bo stayed in Wanhua Tower and was so happy that he didn't want to leave. In the end, he was dragged back to the Prince's Mansion by a servant.

The emperor's decree granting Gu Li marriage finally arrived.

I don't know how much he drank in the past two days. When he knelt on the ground to receive the order, he was tilted, as if he was going to collapse at the next moment.

After dealing with the eunuch who announced the imperial edict, Liu Baijiao could no longer hold on and leaned on Gu Li.

The thick smell of powder and alcohol went straight into her nose, the smell was so bad that Gu Li pushed him away with disgust, "Cousin, how much alcohol have you drunk? Go back and wash up."

Liu Baijiao, who was lying on the ground, laughed. He had no face at all in front of the emperor. Now even his cousin, who had always depended on him since childhood, despised him.

Ever since he could remember, his father was always obsessed with beautiful women and would never see him, while his mother was devoted to Buddhism. The number of times he could see her in a year could be counted on one hand.

He has always been lonely.

Later, my cousin came to the house, and it became a little more lively. My mother was also willing to summon them to have meals together in the East Garden on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

His mother said that when his cousin grew up, she would marry him. He was happy to see it happen.

As long as he can maintain his current life, of course he is willing.

He needs family and company.

When he asked for one concubine after another, he thought that even if there were more women in Xiyuan, it would not shake his cousin's position as the main wife. He always thought that his cousin would live in the Prince's Mansion forever.

But now----

Liu Baijiao was helped by servants back to the study in Xiyuan in a daze. He got angry at the servants and insisted on going to Rui Niang's Cangyu Courtyard.

What's the point of staying in the deserted front yard? He has no official business to attend to.

The butler at the side lowered his head and stammered for a long time before saying, "The concubine in Cangyu Courtyard died suddenly!"

Liu Baijiao sobered up immediately, and the blood in his body turned cold. "She was fine when I left, how could she die suddenly? What disease did she have?"

The housekeeper sighed, "I don't know where Madam Rui got this remedy for pregnancy. After taking it, she started bleeding. When the servants found her, she was already dead."

"How is that possible? How could she, who can't even leave the house, take any folk remedy?" Liu Baijiao didn't believe that Rui Niang would take any folk remedy.

It was clear that Imperial Doctor Gan had just come to her house a few days ago to check her pulse and prescribed a prescription, saying that as long as she was properly taken care of, her fertility would be no different from that of a normal woman in three years.

How could she possibly take any folk remedies?

He was not stupid either. He pointed at Chengde Courtyard and asked, "Is it that vicious woman Zhang Jinwei? Was it her who did this?"

The housekeeper and all the servants in the room were silent.

Liu Baijiao suddenly laughed out loud, looking up to the sky. Tears came out of the corners of his eyes, but he was still laughing.
