Rebirth of the Merchant Girl

Chapter 150 Clues
He sent Ke Lin to clean up, but Xie Yanniang actually came in empty-handed, so it stands to reason that she should just go back empty-handed.

It's just that in the past few days, Long Zhiyu has really tried to please her, with new clothes, jewelry, and some small things to play with. Xie Yanniang wanted to refuse, but she thought that this man's heart is not generous.

If you refuse, I don't know what troubles will come out.

Anyway, to the Fifteenth Prince, these things are just a drop in the bucket, not very valuable gadgets, and it is not necessary to be stingy with this little money, Xie Yanniang simply accepted it all.

Today, Kexin is serving her personally. Before she left, she couldn't help asking a few more questions: "Is there anyone in your family? If I leave here, I can try to intercede with the prince."

After hearing this, Kexin hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Young lady has a heart, it is a slave servant's honor to serve you, but I haven't learned the rules of slave servant well, so I must make trouble for the girl."

It doesn't sound like you don't want to leave, but you can't.

Xie Yanniang looked down at her, smiled nonchalantly and said, "Keep whenever you change your mind, you can come to me at any time."

"Thank you, girl," Ke Xin responded with a low eyebrow, with some hesitation on her face, but she didn't say anything.

Before leaving, Long Zhiyu deliberately came to the yard, sent the maids back away, stood on the covered bridge holding her catkin, looked down at the clear lake, and said softly: "Qiu'er just stay in the mansion." Obediently wait for the king to pick you up, and don't worry about other things."

Xie Yanniang didn't withdraw her hand, but nodded slightly, seemingly reluctant and melancholy.

Long Zhiyu was very satisfied, he knew that no woman could escape his affection and tenderness.

Reluctantly, he sent Xie Yanniang into the carriage, and the luxurious carriage deliberately prepared was the one Long Zhiyu often used, with his mark on the conspicuous place.Walking on the road, it is clearly showing that Xie Yanniang is her own!
Xie Yanniang frowned, but she didn't refuse, it was meaningless to have an argument with Long Zhiyu at this juncture.

Ke Lin helped her into the carriage, Xie Yanniang let out a long breath seeing that she was finally able to leave the other courtyard.

"Give me the veil," she moved away, the faint smile on her face disappeared completely, and she looked at Ke Lin with some impatience.

Ke Lin was startled, and hastily handed over the veil.

Some girls don't like to show their faces, and they should wear veils often.

Xie Yanniang quickly put on her veil, met Shang Kelin's puzzled and probing eyes, and said softly, "Your Highness is so flamboyant, I will definitely be scolded by my two sisters after I return home."

Ke Lin knew that the other two girls of the Xie Mansion also loved the prince very much.But now that he knows that the things in his bag will be snatched away, I'm afraid he won't have a good face.

"I know I want to embarrass you, but can you park the carriage in the alley so that the people in the house can't see it?" Xie Yanniang looked at Ke Lin with pleading eyes, and said pitifully: "Otherwise, I just entered the house, I'm afraid A basin of footwashing water is about to be poured over."

Ke Lin was shocked, Xie Yanniang was the third girl in the family after all, and she would be splashed with footwashing water?

It seems that this is not the first time, how difficult is it for her to live in the mansion?
Originally, there was no difference between Xie Yanniang and those women who climbed dragons and phoenixes, but the prince fell in love with him. She followed Long Zhiyu for several years, and saw countless young girls courting Long Zhiyu in every possible way for the sake of wealth and glory, and felt a little disdainful in her heart.

It's a pity that the prince still chose this woman with shallow eyelids, she was a little concerned and disappointed.

In his heart, Long Zhiyu is an unattainable man, and the people standing beside him should be his match, not these little girls who are dazzled by wealth.

But listening to Xie Yanniang's words now, Ke Lin couldn't help feeling sorry for her.If she is in such a situation, it is only natural for her to seek the protection of the prince to make herself feel better.

After hesitating for a moment, Ke Lin finally agreed: "It's just this matter, please don't mention it to the master."

"It's inevitable. Sister Ke Lin really helped me a lot." Xie Yanniang smiled, and when the carriage stopped in the alley of Xie's mansion, she walked to the small door familiarly. His compassion deepened.

Looking at Miss Xie San's familiar actions, it seems that this is not the first time she has stepped into the side door that this maid and mother-in-law left.

"Sister, go back, I can handle the rest." Xie Yanniang lowered her head and sighed like a little girl who has been bullied all the time.

Ke Lin couldn't bear it in his heart, he didn't dare to intervene in Xie's family affairs, after saluting, he returned to the carriage and signaled the groom to leave the alley as quickly as possible.

Naturally, Xie Yanniang would not go through this side door, she hated it.

She went around in a circle, went two streets away and hired a soft sedan, and was then comfortably brought to the gate of Xie's residence.

A woman who had been waiting for a long time was waiting at the gate of the mansion, her eyes narrowed with a smile, and she paid the bearer's money neatly without thanking Yan Niang for her opening, her wrinkled face smiled like a flower: " Third Miss, Master and Madam are waiting in the flower hall."

"I'll go back to the yard to wash up first, and then I'll see my father and mother." Xie Yanniang knew that this was not a good thing, even if it was a Hongmen banquet, it would not be an exaggeration.

The mother-in-law showed embarrassment, but in the end she still sent her all the way back to the Begonia Garden.

Xueyan blocked the old woman out with a clever mouth, Xue Ling closed the door, looked Xie Yanniang up and down, seeing that she was not only fine, but also dressed more decently than before leaving the house, she raised her heart just now: "Miss The servant was frightened, yesterday the servant accidentally heard a message from the prince, and only then did he know that the girl was picked up by the prince to play in another courtyard."

"You don't need to take nonsense to heart." Seeing that Xue Ling had lost weight and her face was pale, she knew that she hadn't slept well for several days, and she was probably worried about herself. Xie Yanniang smiled helplessly: "I also I didn't expect that I would still be played by someone."

Xue Ling's face was full of doubts, but she also knew that the mother-in-law was outside, and it was not a good time to talk, so she lowered her voice and said: "The second night after the girl left, there was some movement in the room, but the slaves dare not go in."

Every time she wanted to go in, she only felt a chill on her back, and she dared not step in no matter what.

Xie Yanniang was taken aback, obviously someone didn't want Xue Ling to see her: "It's okay, you just wait outside. If the mother-in-law comes to remind you, just say that I haven't packed it yet."

After all, she opened the door and walked in.

Xue Ling pushed away a few steps, not daring to raise her head, always feeling that it is better not to know about some things.

For example, the moment she opened the door, she seemed to see a person lying on the soft couch, and it was a tall man!

Xie Yanniang had long guessed that the Prince Regent must have sent someone over. She disappeared without reason and would be discovered soon.

It's just that she didn't expect that this matter would alarm the regent, and she would wait for herself in the room.

Looking at the man in Tsing Yi on the soft couch, he was not as solemn as usual, lying lazily on his back, with long black hair hanging over his shoulders, half of his face covered by a silver mask, on the contrary revealed a bit of temptation.

Xie Yanniang thought she was dazzled, quickly lowered her head, and confessed to Ruan Jingxin, "It's a girl who was careless. She was tricked into Puji Temple by a letter, but she was taken away again."

Ruan Jingxin sat up slowly, and seemed to have a dignified expression in response to her words: "This matter is strange. In the past few years, young women have disappeared one after another. They are all ordinary families, and most of them are orphans. It is difficult to detect."

It was only after a few neighbors found out that the person was gone that they reported it to the police.

"Have those girls been found?" Xie Yanniang finished asking, then hesitated: "If it's inconvenient for adults to tell, I'm just a girl who didn't ask."

"Most of them were never found, only one or two were found, but they were already married." Ruan Jingxin didn't take this matter to heart at first, and just thought it was kidnappers looking for profit, abducted and sold these young girls.

Who knew that the result was really unexpected, those women not only got married, but also married well.

married?

Xie Yanniang thought about many possibilities, but she never thought that they would get married.

So Ke Xin and Ke Yu will also arrange to marry in the future?

Long Zhiyu spent a lot of effort to train them, but in the end he let these girls go out of the house to marry?

Although Ruan Jingxin didn't say clearly that the same group did it, Xie Yanniang subconsciously felt that it was Long Zhiyu's idea.

She hastily told Ruan Jingxin exactly how she got to Puji Temple and how she was taken captive to the other courtyard of the fifteenth prince.

"My lord, the daughter of the people thinks that this matter was done by the fifteen princes."

"Is it your foresight again?" Ruan Jingxin stared at her and asked softly.

Xie Yanniang shook her head: "This is the girl's guess. The two girls who were kidnapped together were also in another courtyard, but they were very afraid of the prince. The girl wanted to take them away, but unfortunately the two of them refused to say anything. Hesitant to speak."

She also wanted to find Ke Yu's mother-in-law, and told Ruan Jingxin that this was a rare clue.

If Long Zhiyu was looking for girls with no relatives and no reason, then Ke Yu could be regarded as the only one with relatives.

Ruan Jingxin nodded, indicating that he had written it down.

Xie Yanniang's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of the wetness on his clothes, it didn't rain today, so it was covered with dew outside?

Thinking of Ruan Jingxin caring so much for her, she felt warm in her chest.

He has too many things to do in such a high position, yet he is willing to wait for him here...

Ruan Jingxin is not like Long Zhiyu, the latter always talks a lot and does little, and comes out with sweet words, but he is unwilling to do anything for her.

On the contrary, this man can always make himself feel warm inadvertently.

Different from the cold and alienated appearance, this is a person worthy of entrustment and trust.

Xie Yanniang took out the letter that tricked her out from her bosom, and handed it to Ruan Jingxin.

He reached out to take it, and lowered his head to take a look: "Do you need my help?"

Those who are familiar with Liu Zifu's handwriting are just a few people in the mansion, and it is easy to guess who it is.

Xie Yanniang shook her head: "It's fine for the girls to settle this matter, don't bother your lord."

If she can't do this little thing well, how can she follow Ruan Jingxin?
"That's fine." It's better to leave the housework to Xie Yanniang herself, Ruan Jingxin didn't ask any more questions, and suddenly said after getting up: "This time, the girl has done an excellent job."
