Qingliyuan

The matter of drugging food that Chu Xinyu entertained his friends was exposed, and he also exposed it to the old lady Chu. Yuan tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. She knew very well that her aunt was even more disappointed with her this time.

Since she married into the Marquis’ Mansion and became a family, she has worked hard to please Mrs. Chu for more than ten years and gained her trust. Seeing that her children have grown up, as long as the Marquis comes back, she will persuade him to establish a prince.

But since the dead girl came back, Old Lady Chu's trust in her was like a tofu wall, and she could be pushed down as soon as she pushed her. Not to mention letting her son inherit the title, she might not be able to even protect her power.

Now that she heard that Chu Xiao is back, she is even more worried that what she has done in the Hou Mansion for many years will be exposed, because the account book is still in the hands of the second wife and she will feel uneasy if she doesn't take it back for a day. After all, that's fake.

I gave it out at that time to deal with it, and I would soon take it back to the power of the family, but I never expected that she would be disfigured. The wound on her face would be cured in the years and years. After a long time, the matter of the account book would be leaked sooner or later.

Thinking of this, the more nervous and scared she felt, she couldn't sleep when she was afraid.

Since she couldn't sleep, she got up and put on a thin cloak. She wanted to walk around nearby, but her mother wanted to accompany her, but she refused. She wanted to be alone and quiet.

The night was hazy. She thought about how to get the account book back as she walked, but she didn't expect to walk towards Biyun Pavilion. When she found out, she was standing outside Biyun Pavilion.

She looked up at the lights on the second floor. It was getting deeper in the middle of the night. That dead girl was not asleep yet?

Thinking that she had framed her again and again, she avoided her, her heart twisted into a hemp rope, and she wished she could break her head.

She suddenly had a premonition that as long as Chu Xinyu was there, she would never think of turning back and taking back the power of the family. However, Chu Xinyu now has a engagement with the Marquis of Peking, and after she gets married, it will be even more difficult for her to deal with her.

Last time, I asked the second shopkeeper to bring a message to the General Manager Wen of Juxing Pavilion, but there was still no news, but the store was burned. I originally wanted to divide the store into Chu Xinyu as a dowry, but even if it was pulled out to create a scapegoat in the future, so that she could be a scapegoat, but God was helping her.

What to do now?

He has not caught Chu Xinyu's handle so far, and he feels uneasy. With the disfigurement hatred, Yuan's fists are slowly clenched, and his eyes are filled with vicious darkness.

The rooster crowed in the distance.

The servants of the Hou Mansion began to get up. Yuan's face had not healed and was afraid that he would be seen, so he did not dare to stay for a long time.

Just as Yuan turned around, she saw a figure jumping out of the window on the second floor of Biyun Pavilion without looking at her eyes. When she first thought there was a thief in the mansion and was about to shout at someone, a thought suddenly flashed.

This is Biyun Pavilion, Chu Xinyu's boudoir. She just saw that there were lights on the second floor. If it were a thief, it would be impossible to light the lights. Could it be that little bitch had a private meeting with the man?

Yuan didn't care about so much, so he ran towards the direction of the man coming out, wanting to see which man was so bold, but when she ran over, there was no trace of the man.

Although she didn't see who the man was, she was not disappointed. The man jumped out of the window just at dawn. This was not very obvious. The man stayed on the second floor for a while.

Thinking of this, a cold gleam flashed in Yuan's eyes. It seemed that God had not abandoned her. She was worried about how to deal with the little bitch, and on the other end she saw the little bitch having an intimate meeting with the man.

As long as you catch the evidence, aren’t you afraid that you can’t hold her?

...

After washing up, Chu Xinyu went to Anshantang. This morning was more lively than before. Because the second master was back, even the grandchildren who were not diligent in greetings appeared in Anshantang early this morning.

Yesterday, Chu Jiating and Chu Jiayun were not there, and today they also appeared, and we all had a meal in Anshan Hall.

The family dinner was held the day after tomorrow, and no one in the Chu family in the capital could be absent.

Chu Xinyu is going to do charity activities these two days. She said goodbye after eating, and the second wife also came out. Chu Xinyu knew what the second wife came out to do, and the two walked side by side.

"Second Aunt, I've finished reading the account book. I'll send it to you later."

"So after reading it, do you think there is something wrong?"

The second wife didn't see the account book problem, and felt that Chu Xinyu could not see it. Her idea of ​​placing hope for a little girl was too stupid.

She knew that Yuan's character must be a problem with the account book.

Yuan has been in charge of the family for many years and has not had many tricks. How could he be in charge of the Marquis' Mansion for so many years? Now that Yuan's face is burned, the old lady has spoken and asked her to continue to be in charge of the central gifts in the mansion. Yuan didn't say anything on the surface, but she knew very well that Yuan must be unwilling to accept it, and maybe something might happen to the next.

When she married into the Marquis' Mansion, she knew that her husband was the second son and would not inherit the title. She knew her position in the mansion. Her husband also told her that the title belonged to his elder brother. In the future, he would earn a first-rate wife and title for her and her son, so she never looked at anything that did not belong to her.

But Yuan didn't think so. She was always wary of the second and third bedrooms.

These days she manages major affairs in the mansion and does not do many things well, especially the mothers in charge of the mansion are promoted by Yuan. Their hearts are on the Yuan family. She thinks that she will be in charge for one or two months at most, but it seems that the injury on Yuan's face will take at least one or two years to heal. During this period of management, nothing will happen.

Before taking over, you must be clear about the previous accounts, otherwise, if something happens in the future, all mistakes will be pushed onto you.

Chu Xinyu said, "Second Aunt, you and I know it well. If there is a problem with the account book, my mother will not give it to you. What can be shown to you must not be true."

The second wife frowned, "Are you saying the account book is fake?"

Chu Xinyu nodded, "She is very smart and shows the fake ones for the second aunt. The second aunt can't see it. It's good to her, but if she can't take back the power of the family in a short period of time, she will definitely make trouble by making trouble. When the second aunt has read it, she says there is no problem with the account book. Once something happens, no one will trust you if the second aunt has a thousand mouths."

"So what?" The second lady heard the meaning of Chu Xinyu's words. Her guess was the same as herself, and she seemed to have a solution.

Chu Xinyu looked around and saw that there was no one nearby except her maid. She leaned into the second wife's ear and whispered a few times.

The expression on the second wife's face also changed from hesitation at the beginning to nodding in agreement.

...

Chu Xinyu took Lan Yi out. As soon as he walked to the main entrance, he saw Chu Jiayi and Chu Jiayu standing next to the carriage and looking at her with a smile. Could it be that these two people came to see her off?

Before he could ask, Chu Jiayu stepped forward and held her arm and said with a smile: "Fifth sister, we will also help you, do errands or something for you."

Chu Jiayi said, "Yes, how can you just enjoy doing good deeds alone? I have thought about it. I don't have other skills. Then I can donate some jewelry, etc. Originally, the third sister wanted to come, but she wanted to embroider the dowry, but her heart for doing good deeds has not changed. She asked me to donate jewelry to her."

"Of course we welcome to do good deeds, okay, let's go together."

Chu Xinyu and they got on the carriage together.

The event is located by Fairy Lake in the east of the city. There is an open space here. The scenery around it is very beautiful. There is a stone statue of Fairy Lotus in the lake, and a 500-year-old ginkgo tree by the lake.

Every year during Lantern Festival, some good men and women will go to the lake to put lanterns or make wishes under trees. The wish ribbons are thrown on the branches. I heard that wishes are very effective here. Usually, there will be good men and women who come here to make wishes on the first or fifteenth day of the day.

Therefore, although this is not the busiest street in Kyoto City, there are also many people.

I heard that there was an event here today. People in the capital took to the streets to watch the fun very early, and the crowds were even more crowded than before. Fortunately, the security team in the city maintained order on the main streets, so that the carriage could drive on the streets.

When Chu Xinyu and others came to Fairy Lake, many people had already gathered here, including the daughters of aristocratic families, and the young masters of civilian girls, but more were around the people watching the fun.

A recruitment table was set up with wooden frames on the open space, with two steps high, and several tents were set up on the table, with tables and chairs inside, one of which was surrounded by a bunch of people.

Princess Chu and several wives of aristocratic families were sitting in the tent, recording the girl who donated silver and jewelry. Another one, Prince Chu took several princes of aristocratic families to write inscriptions on shawls and silk papers. The girls lined up one by one, and the order was very neat.

That was Chu Xinyu's idea. The treasury had no money, only some rough fabrics and less expensive ceramics were left. So she suggested that the company's houses work overnight to make shawls, which can be used by men and women, so that the most popular and friendly princess in the capital took the lead. The inscription was written on the shawl, which was given to a certain girl or prince. The inscription was the name of the prince.

With the prince's male sex, it will definitely attract noble girls to compete for shawls and collect them home. In this way, will we raise money?

When she brought up this idea, the second wife and Princess Chu were both suspicious. If money was so easy to make, the officials of the court would not have such a headache. Unexpectedly, when Princess Chu went back, the prince agreed and even found several noble sons from aristocratic families with high reputation in the capital to participate.

When those daughters heard about this, as long as they donated silver, they could get a shawl signed by Prince Chu and others. Their eyes couldn't help but shiny. They came to Fairy Lake early in the morning, rushing to get the signature shawl.

The civilian girl who didn't have much private money also rushed to Fairy Lake to watch.

"Oh, why are you here now?"

An Qilan and Sun Ruoya, who had arrived early, walked forward as soon as they saw them coming.

An Qilan asked, "Xinyu, are you painting a portrait today?"

Chu Xinyu nodded and said "Yes", "I only donate one hour."

It takes about a quarter of an hour to draw a portrait, and four quarters of an hour. Things are rare and expensive. She limited time and limited quantity, hoping to raise silver.

"You're late, someone has used your idea." Sun Ruoya said, pointing to the tent that surrounded many people. "There are also donations to get a pretty portrait of the painting. With the name of the Painting Immortal, you will offer a price of 500 taels per painting. I think you know who this Painting Immortal is, right?"
