That night, Wu brought news that the person who had contact with the maid next to the eldest princess was indeed Xu Zhilan's maid. Like her, this maid was invisible in the dark.

This news reminded Chu Xinyu of Yingshui Villa. She was almost bitten by a poisonous snake. At that time, Lin Chenyao said that there was an insider in the villa, and someone pretended to be the maid Qiuyu and gave the poisonous snake to Funing. This person is Xu Zhilan, the maid who is invisible in the dark.

Because she knew Xu Zhilan's method of harming people, she never took the initiative to come forward. She always liked to hide in the dark, like a ghost and devil, tore up the people she wanted to harm through the hands of others.

There was also the rumors that Yuan might have participated in it, but Xu Zhilan must have contributed to all this. She even suspected that the silver needle that assassinated Huang Lian was also Xu Zhilan, and this person was her invisible maid.

Qian'er told Chu Xinyu that the maid was named Taoxin, and her brother Gui Ye had sent someone to stare at her, but Lin Chenyao had told her that as long as she did not do something extraordinary, she would not touch her for the time being. Maybe they had any plans, so she did not ask in detail.

Chu Xinyu nodded and said he knew.

Before going to bed, Xiaobai flew back and brought news from Lin Chenyao that they would enter the mountain at night, intending to find the treasure to come back in the shortest time.

After reading the letter, she did not reply immediately. At the window where he usually came in, she held the jade pendant he gave him, looked at the night sky, and stood for a long time.

In the following days, Chu Xinyu was very busy. Old Mrs. Chu gave her the list of betrothal gifts sent by Lin Chenyao, and some silk and satin items, and asked her to choose some fabrics to send them to Jinxiu Room to make clothes.

Chu Xinyu chose a few pieces of cloth, but did not send them all to Jinxiufang. She left two pieces of cloth for summer wear, drew drawings, and asked bamboo to send bamboo to Hongxiutianxiang Embroidery House on Tsinghua Street. The store is not large in scale, but the business is particularly good. Many noble ladies and daughters in Jinjing like to make clothes here.

In the tradition of the Xu Dynasty, women's wedding dresses were embroidered by themselves, but Chu Xinyu felt that her embroidery was just as good as her, and for such a short time, she couldn't embroider at all, so she drew the drawings, took the fabric to add incense, and asked them to embroider according to the drawings. She didn't tell the old lady Chu about these things, but told the second wife.

The second wife could understand her, not to mention that the embroidery workshop in the mansion was too busy. Even if Chu Xinyu didn't take it out by herself, she planned to use some of the fabric to work in the embroidery workshop outside.

However, she was surprised by Chu Xinyu's connections. The boss of Hongxiutianxiang Embroidery House generally does not accept external orders. All the clothes in her embroidery house were designed by her own hands, and they were sold out every time they launched new products, especially the limited editions she regularly launched, which were all the best among the best.

I heard that the palace wanted to invite her to the palace to work as a statutory workshop, but she politely refused. Since then, her reputation has resounded throughout the capital.

Of course, although she rejected the other end of the palace, many noble people in the palace liked the clothes she made, so she would go to the palace to make clothes for the noble people in the palace from time to time.

Chu Xinyu did not tell the second wife that the boss’s wife of Hongxiutianxiang Embroidery House was an old acquaintance with her. She only told her that it was through Lin Chenyao’s relationship that the boss’s wife took her extra order.

The second wife had no doubt about her statement. She thought that Chu Xinyu had a wide connection because she had a good relationship with noble girls such as Princess Zhaoyang, and Hongxiutianxiang Embroidery Shop gave her some face.

Now that she has figured it out, she didn't say much, because she has been very busy recently. She has to manage the affairs of the mansion and handle the marriage between her daughter and Chu Xinyu. Although the third wife is helping, she is not too busy. In addition, because the Yuan family's affairs are spread, Leping Hou heard about it and felt that the Chu family cheated the marriage and sent someone to break the marriage.

It is impossible to withdraw from the marriage, so she had to make an appointment with Mrs. Leping to discuss the matter. For the future of the Marquis' Mansion, she had to do this ugly person, and Chu Jiayi's affairs were also a problem.

Originally, the Qi family fell in love with her and wanted to marry her as the second young lady. Concubine Qi sent someone to bring her up for this matter and planned to come and get a job in a few days. But before she agreed, news came that she was hugging the man by the riverside.

That day, so many people watched it, and the reputation was ruined. If the Qi family didn't mind, it would be even harder for the Chu family to refuse. After all, people don't mind that your reputation was ruined. Apart from marrying a fool, serious people would not marry her, let alone she was resigned once.

But fortunately, the boy who saved Erya came to propose marriage yesterday. He was Lin Yanen, the young master of Yongshun's mansion.

This Yongshun Bo was also a title granted by the title when the Xu Dynasty was just founded. The title was inherited from the Five Dynasties. Lin Yan'en's father's generation happened to be the fifth generation, and then he was the surrender of the title.

After Lin's father passed away, not only did the Lin family's titles and honors have been reduced a lot, but the mansion's door had to be replaced and could no longer be called the Bo Mansion.

But at least Yongshunbo is still quite strong now, but he himself did not do much. He just relied on the protection of his ancestors to live, and the mansion had long been unable to make ends meet.

But he was not doing anything. At least he gave birth to a talented son. Lin Yanen had become a juren at the age of sixteen and wrote beautiful fonts. Even the emperor praised him when he read it. Unfortunately, he fell ill during the imperial examination, which made him miss it. The second time, due to some reasons, he failed to arrive at the examination room in time, and was regarded as giving up automatically.

I will take the tribute test next spring exam, I hope there will be no accidents.

Therefore, if he talks about his identity, he is really not worthy of Erya, but he has inquired about his good character and is a good friend to Prince Wei. Zhang'er praised his attitude towards being a person and doing things. Although he is in a down-and-out and has not yet achieved fame, he is still young. As long as he is willing to work hard, who can speak accurately in the future?

Besides, although his aristocratic family is not as good as the Qi family, he has at least a normal IQ, so she discussed with Mrs. Chu and the third wife and decided to accept this marriage, but the Qi family came to propose marriage.

The Qi family's move was clearly a robbery. Although their family mentioned it first, the second wife did not agree at that time and then had a rescue. The Chu girl and Yongshun Bo's son hugged each other in public. Now the man takes the initiative to take responsibility, which is natural, but the Qi family said they don't mind the reputation of the second girl Chu.

In this way, the two families had a disagreement, so the Qi family reported to the emperor, saying that the Chu family disliked the Qi family and went back on their word, betrothed his daughter to the Qi family first. When he saw Mr. Lin's cousin, he betrothed his daughter to the Lin family.

This incident actually spread in Jinjing City. Some people also said that the Zhongyi Hou Mansion began to become domineering in the capital because it had climbed to the Rong Duke's Mansion.

But at this time, the sixth prince of the Chu family fought in the market, and threatened that he was the future brother-in-law of the Hou of Peking, and that he would beat him whoever dared to provoke him.
