263 She's a Fiend(1/2)
Meng Shu was bored alone. She walked outside for two rounds before going back. As soon as she walked into the room, she saw Chen Biyue sitting lazily beside the bed wearing a coat.
"You finally can bear it."
Chen Biyue stretched gently, "I usually like to stay in bed. For me, sleeping is the most comfortable thing."
"I also like to sleep, but unlike you who can lie in bed for so long, you will go outside to relax your muscles and bones after sleeping enough, otherwise one day it will turn into a pool of mud." Meng Shu pushed Chen Biyue to a small case, and a bronze mirror had already been placed on the case.
"Little ancestor, hurry up and clean up. After packing up, I will take you for a walk."
Looking at Meng Shu who was rushing to help her get her clothes, Chen Biyue couldn't help but smile, picked up a wooden comb hanging beside the mirror, and started combing her hair in front of the bronze mirror.
Yu Wang Mansion
When Qifeng gave the letter to Shao Yan, the big white ball in Shao Yan's arms stared at him. His eyes were pure and clear, but when he looked at people, he raised his eyes slightly, as if he was born with majesty, and his posture was obedient and lazy, revealing deep pride and nobleness.
A big hand patted it on its head, and it immediately restrained its delicate body and obediently stretched its head to rub its master's palm.
"Snowball, don't make a fuss."
Shao Yan rebuked lightly, feeling the little thing in his arms gradually settled down, he pulled his hand back and opened the letter in his hand. There was not much content in the letter, and he glanced twice and had finished reading it.
Shao Yan didn't ask anything and handed the letter to Tianfeng for processing.
"She asked you to hand over this letter and said nothing?" Shao Yan asked.
"Apart from the letter, Miss Chen didn't explain anything else."
"Interesting." Shao Yan chuckled, "Then do what she said, Tianfeng, I will leave this matter to you. I will read the contents of the letter just now and then handle it."
"The master has taken action several times. This time the matter has nothing to do with the master, so why do you still have to help her?" Tian Feng was puzzled.
"Do you think so too?" Shao Yan turned to ask Qifeng.
Qifeng nodded.
Shao Yan laughed in a low voice and said, "You two are really boring. Don't you think it's very interesting to see the Shen sisters kill each other?"
Tianfeng: "…"
Qifeng: "..."
"I will hand the painter over to her later, and I don't have to worry about the rest of the matter, just watch the show." Shao Yan said, waved his hand and asked Qifeng to go back to Chen Biyue's side first.
"What the master said doesn't mean..." Tian Feng really felt that he was getting less and less able to understand what the master said.
"I thought you were also a smart person, why are you so slow today?" Shao Yan said lightly, "You will do whatever she wrote in her letter, and don't care about the rest."
Tianfeng was still confused when he heard it and was about to ask again, but someone had already come.
He is from Tianfu Pavilion.
Tianfeng had no choice but to suppress his doubts first and take a bamboo tube handed over by the man.
The bamboo tube is about the same length and thickness as the fingers, and looks no different from an ordinary small bamboo tube. If you want to open it, you need special fingering. This is a special intelligence tube for Tianfu Pavilion. Unless someone teaches it specifically, outsiders cannot easily peek into the secrets in the tube.
Tianfeng opened it and looked at it, trying to hand it to Shao Yan, but Shao Yan didn't reach out.
"I'm a little tired, you said that's it."
Tianfeng handed the bamboo tube back to the man, who stuffed the bamboo tube into his sleeve, bowed slightly in the direction of Shao Yan, then turned around, and soon disappeared into the vast night.
"Master, it's news from the Chen Mansion."
Shao Yan was not very interested in the matter in Chen Mansion, but just said "yes".
"The wife of the Shen family's eldest house is investigating the reason why Miss Chen was kicked out of Chen's mansion."
"Has found it?" Shao Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "With the skills of Duke Wei and the old lady, how could that matter easily surface?"
Tianfeng understood his words this time and said, "The master is right. This is indeed not their negligence, but Miss Chen deliberately leaked it out."
The people who led Gan Ling to discover Caiqin's Madam Caiqin and then bribe Caiqin's family. In this way, they would not be discovered by Mrs. Gan Ling would also believe it without doubt.
"Miss Chen's doing this will damage her reputation in the future." Tianfeng couldn't understand the reason why she did this.
Once that incident is exposed, it will not only be a loss of reputation. I am afraid that she will be dealt with by the old man of the Shen family who is very proud of her. She will not be able to protect herself. She will also talk about whether she wants to gain a foothold in the Shen family or in Yong'an City.
"That thing will be discovered sooner or later. Instead of letting others take advantage of it, she might as well take advantage of the problem first." Tianfeng was not clear about the inside story, and Shao Yan only knew something vaguely, but those alone were enough for him to guess her intentions.
She was just a trick to burn her boat. This step was thrilling, but in his eyes, it was very interesting.
Poria Neiyuan
Gan Ling suddenly stood up, and a hint of excitement rose on her face, "Are you saying true?"
Dong Shichu was also very shocked when she heard the news. She had never thought that the reason why the girl was expelled to Fengshui Prefecture was.
"What Madam Caiqin said should not be false."
"If this is true, then the Meng family can't protect her." Gan Ling's eyes suddenly became full of pride, "I didn't expect that Meng Ru had fought with me for the rest of her life, but she gave birth to a daughter with the fate of a evil star, and even she was defeated to death."
All past questions were answered at this moment.
Chen Biyue was asserted by Master Liuhe of Hanchan Temple that he was possessed by the fate of the Lone Star of Tiansha, punishing his relatives and killing the people around him. Therefore, he was regarded as an ominous person by the old-fashioned Mrs. Gan, for fear that she would implicate the Shen family and suffer disasters.
"Madam, what should we do now?"
"Since you have such a good trump card, how can you not make good use of it?" Gan Ling curled her lips coldly, and her eyes looked a little fierce. "You can find a way to spread this news now. Also, it is Zhu Zhao's fiance in the Shen family's legitimate daughter's fiancé, and you must also release it together. Remember to restrain your hands and feet and don't leave too many traces."
"Madam, please rest assured."
Gan Ling slowly walked to the window. The weather outside was no longer as cold as before, and it was still warming up.
At first glance, there were greenery, pavilions, towers, rockery, ponds and water. Such a wealthy Chen Mansion was not what Chen Biyue should have come in. If you want to blame, you blame her for being born in the wrong child and insist on being thrown into the belly of Meng Ru, a woman who did not grow up.
At night, Chen Biyue and Meng Shu returned to the wing room. After dinner with Mrs. Meng, they went back to their room to rest.
She slept early, and she woke up before dawn the next day.
As soon as I got out of bed, a knock on the door came from outside.
When I opened the door, I saw that it was Meng Shu.
"Little cousin, why did you get up so early?" Meng Shu was still a little surprised when she saw Chen Biyue come out and open the door.
It was not dawn, and it was still a little cold outside. Chen Biyue patted her cheek and walked into the room. "My cousin came to forgive Qingmeng early in the morning. Even if she slept like a pig, she would be woken up by you."
Meng Shu poured a cup of tea on her own, "You are too much. I just knocked twice and you came to open the door. You didn't have woken up long ago."
"What are you doing when I come so early?" Chen Biyue walked back to the bed and wanted to crawl back to continue sleeping, but Meng Shu put down her teacup and rushed over and grabbed her.
"Stop sleeping, go, let's go out for a walk."
Chen Biyue: "..."
Meng Shu smiled and said, "Let's go, while there are no one yet. I heard that there are Buddhist lights suppressing this kind of big temple, and ordinary ghosts dare not approach it easily. I want to see if there is really no ghost."
Chen Biyue was speechless, "There are no ghosts in this world." After saying that, he stopped talking again, remembering that he was just a ghost who had died once, but he was reborn for no reason. Otherwise, he would have been reincarnated and reborn long ago.
Seeing her like this, Meng Shu thought she had found that she had said the wrong thing and insisted on pulling her out. Chen Biyue was so annoyed by her that she had to change into her clothes. The two of them went to the nearby wellhead to fetch water, washed up and left the wing room.
"We'd better go back before our aunt wakes up, otherwise she will find out that we're gone, so we should be anxious." Chen Biyue advised her.
Meng Shu waved her hand indifferently, "Let's go back after a walk."
"Didn't my cousin come to the temple often before? Didn't I look for ghosts at that time?" I had to look for it at this time. Although she woke up early in the morning, she was still a little sleepy.
"I am young, so how dare I go alone? Let me tell you that the temple is gloomy at night. I don't dare to walk outside when I enter the night. I originally planned to pull you away quietly last night, but I was so sleepy that I slept until now."
Meng Shu said it very naturally, but Chen Biyue knew her a little and didn't believe her words at all. She was obviously very excited when she had dinner last night and could not see her sleepy appearance at all.
She would choose this time because it was almost dawn. If she went out last night, if something happened, the night would be long enough to scare her dozens of courage.
The two of them were touching the darkness, not knowing how far they had taken, but they only saw trees all over their eyes, and there were also dark halls and lofts after dark.
Even Chen Biyue, a person who has been dead for a lifetime, has walked such a long way in the dark night, and the cool breeze blew gently, and the surroundings are empty and quiet, which will make people feel a little creepy.
"Little cousin." Meng Shu suddenly stopped, "Did you hear any sound?"
Her voice trembled a little, Chen Biyue's brows frowned slightly, her eyes swept around her, and she found nothing unusual.
"I heard it."
There was a whimpering sound that appeared and disappeared from time to time, and it sounded a bit like a woman's voice, but Hanchan Temple was full of monks, so where would there be any woman, let alone this time.
Chen Biyue heard the sound still ringing intermittently and asked, "Can they be pilgrims in the temple?"
"The pilgrims live in are not in this direction at all." Meng Shu shrank her hand to her chest and pointed in one direction, "It should have come from there."
"The monks living there are all the monks in the temple. Maybe they broke the precepts privately?"
Meng Shu felt goose bumps all over her body, "What can you break the precept? This is a national temple. The rules are comparable to your Shen Mansion. Who dares to break the rules? It would be strange if Your Majesty doesn't chop his head."
"Didn't my cousin always want to see ghosts? Can you still go?" Chen Biyue felt a little scary at first, but when she saw Meng Shu's appearance, her fear had dispersed most of the time. Thinking about it, she was also a ghost who had died once. If she could really meet another ghost, it would be considered a fate destined by God.
Meng Shu was so competitive that she was so full of fear. She was not afraid of such a weak little cousin, why should she be afraid?
"Let's go!" After saying that, he pushed Chen Biyue and walked in front.
"You go first, I'll help you cut off the back. If a ghost attacks from behind, you can take care of it."
Chen Biyue: "..."
She could not refute her so proudly.
