A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 107
Duan Yunxin glanced at her, smiled lightly and said, "Okay, lady stay here, I will go there with Lady Jiang."

Jiang Taohua also agreed, gave Duan a few instructions, and followed the Taoist priest out.

Duan Yunxin seemed very calm, even without letting the house be cleaned up, someone brought the incense table over, and motioned the Taoist priest to look around.Taohua watched from the side, and couldn't help wondering if she had been wronged.

"What kind of incense is Ms. Duan burning in this room?" Qing Moss sighed softly from behind, "It smells so good."

"This is the 'Qiqingsan' I found specially." Duan Yunxin smiled: "When the weather is warmer, people will inevitably feel drowsy. The warm fragrance from the house always makes me want to sleep, so I Let someone from my natal family bring some over."

Taohua nodded: "This taste is quite special."

"If my lady likes it, I'll ask He'er to send some to Zhengchun Pavilion." Duan Yun said in her heart, "I even sent some to Linghan Courtyard earlier, Madam likes it after hearing it."

"I don't need it." Tao Hua said with a smile: "It's customary not to burn incense in the house, thank you, Mrs. Duan, for your kindness."

While speaking, the Taoist priest had already walked around the main house and the backyard, muttering something, and sprinkled rice and incense ash everywhere.

"I don't know why, but there is quite an evil spirit here." When he came back to the front, the Taoist said solemnly: "Madam, you should recite Buddha's name more, maybe the evil spirit can be eliminated."

Duan Yun's face was slightly stiff, and Duan Yun frowned: "I've always been chanting Buddha, and I've been praying in the Jingye Hall before, why do I feel so evil?"

"Evil energy is born from the heart." The Taoist twirled a tactic and said: "If the demons in the heart are not eliminated, the evil spirit will naturally be heavy."

"Ridiculous!" Duan Yunxin pursed her lips, glanced up and down at the Taoist priest, turned her head to look at Taohua and said, "I don't know where the Taoist priest invited back from my lady looks like a liar."

The Taoist priest was slightly annoyed, swept the dust away and said: "Poverty Taoist never deceives people. If Madam doesn't believe me, the evil spirit in this yard will never be eliminated. If anything is attracted, don't blame me!"

"You..." Seeing that she was about to get angry, Duan Yunxin quickly suppressed it, turned to look at Jiang Taohua and said, "My lady, take him away, I have never done anything wrong in this yard, and I really am not afraid of ghosts Knock!"

"This." Tao Hua hesitated slightly: "What the Taoist said may not be unreasonable, why should the lady take such a gamble?"

"I'm not angry, I just want to prove that no one in my Shouyun Pavilion will feel guilty." Duan Yun said in his heart: "Mr. Liu's death has nothing to do with me. Whoever is afraid, Taoist priests should scare who. Scaring me is it's useless."

With a cold snort, the Taoist packed up his things and took the boy away, Taohua pursed his lips, thinking that this piece of Yun Xin seemed to be full of confidence, so there should be nothing wrong with it.

In the evening, news came from the Yamen of the capital that Liu Shiyi had committed suicide. Judging from the marks on his neck, he should have been hanged on a beam, not suicide.

As soon as the news came out, Taohua really wanted to dig a hole to bury herself, but the one who should come still had to come - the people of the Liu family and their slaves knelt at the gate of the Prime Minister's mansion, hanging strips of white flags, and wept loudly.Those who didn't know probably thought that Shen Zaiye was dead.

Shen Zaiye hadn't come out of the palace yet, and Mei Zhaoxue's illness hadn't recovered yet.No matter how much Taohua wanted to hide, she could only be pushed out.

"My daughter was sent to the prime minister's mansion in a good manner. She didn't want to be rich and powerful, but she wanted to live a safe life! It's only been a long time since she passed the mansion, but how could she be killed?!" Mrs. Liu knelt outside and cried, "Above all! Prime Minister, you should give me an explanation!"

Taohua hurriedly asked someone to drag her into the mansion, but at least she was the wife of a high-ranking official in Jiuqing. She couldn't get up, and the servants didn't dare to pull her by force.Gu Huairou watched, and could only do it himself, dragging her into the gate of Xiangfu.

"Speak well if you have something to say." Jiang Taohua looked at her and said, "Master Xiang is not in the mansion, and I will take care of the backyard for the time being. Mrs. Liu died suddenly. The people in the capital yamen are already investigating what happened. It's useless for Madam to cry here, it's better to arrange Liu's funeral properly."

How could the heartbroken Mrs. Liu listen to her words?Grabbing Peach Blossom's sleeves, he shouted: "My daughter is placed elsewhere, and she should be the wife of the wife who others are vying for. I was wronged and married into the Xiangfu, but because of Xiangjun's love for the Xiangye, how could she end up like this? Such a consequence?"

"Don't worry." Gu Huairou pursed her lips, "It's none of Mrs. Jiang's business."

"Xiang Jun wrote a suicide note!" Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth, "She said she was bullied, where is that person?"

Tao Hua sighed: "Miss Qin fell ill from fright, and is raising her in the yard."

"I'm going to find her!" Mrs. Liu got up and said, "Go to her and explain clearly!"

Is this going to fight?Taohua's face was half darkened, and she could no longer speak properly, she said in a deep voice: "Even if Miss Qin punished Liu Shiyi, she did so according to the rules. If Mrs. Liu didn't provoke, Mrs. Qin wouldn't be with you for no reason. She can't make it through, it's just that the punishment has gone too far. Both of them are at fault, and now Madam has no position to settle accounts with my wife of the Prime Minister's mansion."

Mrs. Liu's eyes widened, tears streaming down her face: "My daughter is dead! Someone killed her! You still talk to me like this?"

She wasn't the one who killed her, so why can't she speak anymore?Taking a deep breath, Taohua tried her best to calmly say: "I understand Madam's grief, but the Prime Minister's Mansion has its own rules, it's not a place where you can act recklessly."

"I don't care!" Mrs. Liu sat down on the ground, wiped her tears and said, "If you don't give me an explanation today, I'll make people cry around the Prime Minister's mansion, or I'll file a lawsuit and let the emperor deal with it!"

"You go and sue." Gu Huairou couldn't listen anymore, seeing her shrew appearance, couldn't help frowning: "The emperor will take care of such a trivial matter?"

Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, and she really became stubborn: "Yes, my master is just a petty official, and he can't speak in front of the emperor. But this time I have to sue you for the imperial certificate! It's just you bullying others. If you don't have the Emperor's decision, you won't give my daughter justice!"

Tao Hua listened quietly, thinking that she was just joking, after all, imperial courts are not so easy to sue, and with Liu Xiangjun's family background, she really can't play with Shen Zaiye.

However, this time it turned out to be her miscalculation.

Shen Zaiye arrived at Zhengchun Pavilion as soon as he came back at night, with a very ugly expression on his face: "Why is there such a big commotion? The Liu family even filed an imperial lawsuit."

"Really?" Taohua was surprised: "How is it possible?"

"Liu's parents and daughters are quite favored in the palace recently." Rubbing between her brows, Shen Zaiye said: "The emperor has ordered a thorough investigation by the Yamen in the capital, and this time it really caused a scene."

The case that the emperor personally ordered to investigate would not be so easy for the murderer. Once found out, he would definitely die.

"Do you have any clues?" Taohua took out the things Xu Yan returned to her and put them on the table, frowning: "I have been observing for a whole day, and no one in this house looks like a murderer."

"Would the murderer write his thoughts on his face?" Rolling his eyes, Shen Zaye stretched out his arms to hug her, and said in a low voice: "The dog that doesn't bark, the more it will bite."

Startled, Taohua frowned, Duan Yunxin's face appeared in her mind for some reason.

"How's your business going?" Lowering her eyes, Tao Hua leaned against his chest and asked in a low voice.

"It's going well." Shen Zaiye pursed his lips: "Soon the emperor will appoint a crown prince."

Prince... Taohua raised his eyebrows: "Prince Jing?"

Shen Zaiye acquiesced.

In the current situation, King Yu is undeterred, but King Jing already has an absolute advantage. Once he takes over, King Yu will be trampled to death.But if this foot is stepped on, King Jing will definitely lose his vitality. At this time, he needs his help.

"Master is really amazing." Taohua smiled and flattered her: "I completely played with the court and applauded. When the day comes to an end, when I am in a good mood, will I even reward my concubine?"

"As much merit as you have, you will be rewarded." Shen Zaiye stretched out his hand calmly, and began to count with his fingers: "But every crime that offends me must be deducted, and the merits and demerits will be equal..."

"Master!" Hurriedly wrapping his arms around his neck, Taohua laughed and said, "Don't be like this, you have to be magnanimous when you are a man! Can't the prime minister hold a boat in his belly?"

With a chuckle, Shen Zaye hugged her and got up: "It's getting late, let's go to rest earlier."

"Where is Master going?" Seeing that he wanted to leave after putting her on the bed, Tao Hua asked curiously.

"I'll go to Linlang Pavilion to have a look."

Qin Huaiyu was quite frightened, don't be really frightened.

Tao Hua pursed her lips, propped her chin to watch him go out, and then stared blankly at Qing Moss making her bed and serving her to bed.

"What's wrong, Master?" Glancing at her, Qingmoss couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you happy?"

"It's nothing to be unhappy about." Shrugging, Tao Hua lay down and said, "It's a very common thing."

That being said, the expression on his face did not seem to be the case. Xu Yangui on the beam couldn't help but sighed: "Are all women so duplicity?"

Shocked with fright, Moss and Peach Blossom looked up at the same time, and saw Xu Yangui squatting on the beam, his black clothes blending into the beam, and he couldn't be seen if he wasn't paying attention.

Qingmos face turned dark, and she was about to go up to fight him, but her master said helplessly: "You should get used to him, anyway, you won't mess around, so you can go out first."

"……Yes."

After the door was closed, Xu Yan returned to the ground as lightly as a swallow, looked at Jiang Taohua and said, "Could it be that you still hope that Shen Zaiye will only spoil you?"

"I didn't think about it that way." Blowing out the candlestick next to her, Tao Hua lay down on the bed, closed her eyes and said, "If there is nothing important, sir, you should go to bed earlier."

"So cold." With a flat mouth, Xu Yan was smiling and planning to say something, when suddenly her ears moved, and without a word, she pulled Jiang Taohua out of the quilt, covered her mouth, and led the people back to the room. On top of the beam.

Taohua was so frightened that her legs went limp, and by the time she realized it, she had already been hugged tightly by him.
