Chapter 273 Overt and Covert Struggles (Part 1)
-
“Sang Pu pays homage to Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, wishing you all the best and a happy life.”
Song Weichen paid his respects, only to see Qin Xue Ying Ying was sitting in the main seat of the main hall of the Lord's Mansion with a sparkling look. She didn't look like she was "resting" at all. After Ruan Mianmian ushered her in, he went to the side seats on the left. Although the seat on the right was empty, there were exquisite tea fruits and a Zhang Guqin seemed to have been kept specially for her.
Ban Xia also followed in. She lowered her eyebrows and took the brocade box from Song Weichen's hand. She put the snacks in exquisite Ru kiln azure glazed shallow dishes and presented them to the three of them. She didn't look like just now at all. .
He knew clearly what was going on in the palace, but deliberately blocked him at the door. His intentions were self-evident. Song Weichen twitched the corner of his mouth. Some people are so used to being around power for so long that they think they are power itself.
If she hadn't been eager to find the suspected murderer, she would have taught Banxia a lesson.
.
"Miss Sangpu, hurry up and take your seat. I just talked to Mianmian about you and said that I can't wait for you. Maybe I was frightened by yesterday's murder."< br>
"The murder..."
Hearing Qin Xueying take the initiative to bring up the murder case, Song Weichen had the intention to test whether there was anything abnormal in the house, but Ruan Mianmian forcibly took the initiative.
"The murder case is said to be that of a country girl who was responsible for cleaning up the fallen leaves in the pond. She accidentally slipped and fell into the water and drowned. After that, she was washed to the water street. By coincidence, she happened to be stuck in the boat."
"You are so careless. Those goldfish are all of the best varieties: Longyan, Liujin, Pearl, and Wangtian. I even looked at them carefully the day I first arrived at the house. I have not raised any of them for decades. , this gate opening is all gone."
Human life is at stake, but Ruan Mianmian said it so lightly, as if one human life is not as valuable as two goldfish, Song Weichen couldn't help but tremble in his hand holding the Mingzhan. ——She couldn't wait to pour all the tea in her hand on that thick and pink fake face.
“What’s wrong with sister Sang Pu? Her hands are shaking so badly?”
Qin Xueying noticed that she was behaving differently and comforted her kindly, "Don't be afraid, it's all over."
"Look at me, I'm not afraid to live in this house where bad luck has happened, sister. There’s no need to be afraid.”
……
Hearing this, Song Weichen’s eyes became even more sad. She tried hard to restrain the curse words on her lips and the urge to walk away. Reason told her. You can never be happy for a while, because you lose a lot because of the small things.
"Country girl" "unlucky"... It turns out that in the eyes of these so-called "upper class people", a girl like Xiao Yu is really not even as good as a goldfish. No wonder she has decades of experience in handling cases. His actions would lead to an autopsy conclusion so easily.
[Because it’s not important at all]
Song Weichen suddenly figured out something. If the suspect is not a powerful person, he must be someone who walks around the powerful people all year round. This person knows the thoughts of the "big shot" very well, so he is looking for Start with a character like Xiao Eucalyptus.
Because it can make the matter big enough, but also let the case itself not be taken seriously and end hastily.
It is possible that it was not Xiao Eucalyptus that "saw" something, but that the murderer "saw" Xiao Eucalyptus.
Anyway, death is death. No one cares who the dead ant is.
What the criminal wanted was nothing more than the confusion and suspicion it caused.
......
After thinking about this, Song Weichen became even more unmotivated. She looked at the delicacies and snacks on the table and felt sick to her stomach. Just because you don't treat Xiao Gu as a human being doesn't mean that there is no human effort. She delivers justice.
She secretly vowed to bring the murderer to justice and give Xiao Yu an explanation!
Thinking about this, her energy and blood surged, and her heart tightened for a while. For fear of causing bleeding, she quickly took out a brocade handkerchief and covered her mouth.
This move had a different meaning in Ruan Mianmian's eyes. She stared at Song Weichen's belly bitterly, thinking to herself, "This little bitch, although she has no name or status, is pregnant with Mo Tingfeng's first child after all." My child, the symptoms of morning sickness are so obvious, it is more than three months old at least, no, we must not let her get there first!"
After reading, he winked at his maid and asked her to prepare tea, while changing the pair. She looked at Qin Xueying with a sensible look.
“The eldest princess is really kind-hearted and considerate.”
“It’s just that Sister Sangpu is the person that Master Si Chen holds in his heart every day. I have never seen such a terrifying person. It's inevitable for people to be frightened. I was still thinking last night that Brother Tingfeng didn't come to the Venerable Mansion to visit Sister Xueying. He was probably busy comforting and taking care of his sister."
She clearly knew that Qin Xueying came dressed up because of Mo Tingfeng, but she deliberately compared her like this. She clearly wanted to see the show between the two of them. No matter who loses the fight, it will not harm her at all. It is best Both sides suffer!
...
Unexpectedly, Qin Xueying just smiled faintly after hearing this, with no trace of displeasure on her face. How could she not understand the meaning of Ruan Mianmian's words, and how could she not understand his selfish motives? She had seen so much of these intrigues among the ladies of the palace since she was a child, between the wives and concubines of her father, uncle, and uncle, that she felt sick in her heart. .
Want to use her as a sharp arrow and reap the benefits yourself? joke!
Qin Xueying looked at Ruan Mianmian with a warm smile, unable to tell what was going on in her heart.
"Sister Mianmian is still thoughtful and thoughtful."
"Sister Sangpu has a delicate constitution, so Lord Si Chen should naturally take care of her more."
"Not only Lord Si Chen, but also me. I feel pity for him when I look at him, which makes me feel heartbroken."
Three sentences clearly show his superiority to Ruan Mianmian.
.
The two men were attacking openly and secretly, but Song Weichen had no intention of listening to what they were saying.
She was busy using her heart sounds to communicate with the two Yishou brothers about what they had learned from exploring the mansion. However, the two brothers were tired of avoiding the guards of the Realm Lord’s Mansion and the elite grudge-breakers assigned to guard the Venerable’s Mansion, so they really had enough energy left. Not enough, only a small bloody gauze strip was found in the corner of the cellar where the ice was kept.
"Benbo'er Ba, is there a way to put the cloth into the virtual realm and bring it back to Wuqingju?"
"Master, except for puppets and phantoms, no ghosts can enter the virtual realm. If the master wants to If you want, let's put it away and return carefully."
Song Weichen thought for a moment, there are grudge breakers everywhere in Sichen's mansion, and the shape of the strange hand is not as easy to confuse as Xiao Xixie. It would be too risky to allow them to return to Wuqingju "in broad daylight" without the cloth strips being kept inside the puppets - Mo Tingfeng had repeatedly warned her not to expose the information that she could control the puppet energy.
"There's no need to bring it with you. You hide the gauze and return to the virtual realm. I'll find an opportunity to go to the cellar to get it."
...
"Sister Sangpu, what's wrong with you?"
"Do you like it?"
Qin Xueying's voice brought her back to reality. Song Weichen nodded quickly and murmured in his heart, "I like it, what do I like?" Abba, Abba, what I’m saying is that I really don’t like you aloof “nobles” at all. I like to wander, okay...
Qin Xueying saw that Song Weichen completely ignored what she just said, but she was not annoyed or criticized. Instead, she took the initiative to get up and sit down next to Song Weichen. She put her hands on the guqin on her desk and played it slowly and gently. The sound of the piano, which is as distant and dark as the stream, appears, and it is a good piano.
“This piano can help you sleep.”
Song Weichen couldn’t help but admire it, and instantly understood what Qin Xueying meant when he asked about liking it.
“I like it, and the few times the eldest princess strummed it were so wonderful. It was obviously music, but it made me smell a strange fragrance.”
“The name of this piano is ‘Confused Heart’ It is made of the best golden rosewood in the upper world. The sound is fragrant and fragrant everywhere. When the first note is played, the listener can see the heaven and the earth; when the second note is played, people can see all living beings; when the third note is played, people can see all living beings. myself.”
"I haven't really touched this Qin since I became so complacent, and I don't know whether the strings are accurate or not. Just give it a try."
Qin Xueying smiled and moved a little away for her to play, but Song Weichen also agreed. No need to give in, the eldest princess came here just for her piano skills.
I immediately came there casually and tried a piece of "Luan Po Chao" briefly. Although one or two strings were not accurate, I couldn't hide the wonder of this piano.
As I played, the fragrance filled my nostrils, my mind swung along with the music, and many hallucinations appeared in front of my eyes.
In a daze, Song Weichen felt that Qin Xueying, who was sitting opposite and watching him play the guqin, gradually changed into his own.
Am I sitting across from you? Who is playing the guqin at this moment?
Song Weichen subconsciously looked at the hand he was playing, and he didn't know when it turned into a withered bone, playing the guqin!
