Chapter 678 Meiyu's Trap

That night, a shocking news spread all over the capital. Legend has it that Princess Ji'an lost a box of beautiful jade. The jade white wall was flawless. It was a beautiful beauty that was recently produced in the mine and could not be seen in the ages.

When the news spread rapidly among the people and reached the rice dumpling teahouse, it became the most unified topic of conversation for people this night.

Who dares to steal Princess Ji'an's things? Or is it such a valuable thing? Don't you want a head anymore?

Finally, the rumors reached the ears of Jingzhao Yin Xu Jingyuan. He did not dare to delay for a moment and hurried to the princess's house to seek confirmation. After confirming that Feng Yuheng had indeed lost a box of beautiful jade, and also learned that the beautiful jade was taken away by a wife who claimed to be the prefect of Lanzhou in Nirvana Pavilion, he already knew in his heart that this must be a game that Feng Yuheng had done. But he was not afraid of doing the game. He was originally a person under the seventh prince Xuan Tianhua. He sat in the position of Jingzhao Yin. In addition to protecting the safety of the people in Jingzhao, he was also responsible for cooperating with Princess Ji'an Feng Yuheng to do various things.

So Xu Jingyuan nodded and went to handle the case without saying a word.

Huang Quan did not follow Feng Yuheng during the day. Now that she heard what she said, she couldn't help but feel sweating: "Miss, what if the wife of the Lanzhou prefect does not return it, or if the jade is broken?"

Feng Yuheng said indifferently: "Don't worry, she doesn't dare."

With just one sentence, she didn't dare to calm down the heart of Huang Quan.

At this time, such a big news naturally spread to the Beijing Inn. As Yuexi approached, and with the great victory this year, the palace was held in a grand palace banquet, and many officials from other provinces came to Beijing. The inn was filled with people all at once, regardless of the big and small officials, they gathered together, waiting for Yuexi's arrival.

The story of Princess Ji'an losing the beautiful jade quickly spread here. Everyone who heard that was speculating about who could throw Meiyu away from Princess Ji'an's nose would be. But they didn't know that on the third floor of the inn, the wife of the Lanzhou magistrate Jiang was looking at a box of white jade, and his eyes were straightened, and even the maid Jixiang went out and came in without even notice. Until Jixiang quickly walked up to her, raised her voice and called her twice, she said with anger: "What's the noise? Don't you know that jade is the most intelligent? You will quarrel at it like this, and if your jade heart is confused, your appearance will change."

Jixiang didn't understand such profound things. She was just anxious, especially when she looked at the box of jade, she was so anxious that she stomped her feet. "Madam, we might be in trouble."

"Huh?" Jiang didn't understand, "Come into trouble? What kind of trouble?"

"It's this box of jade." Jixiang pointed to the things on the table and said, "Since my wife came back, she has been guarding these things and never left the house. Naturally, she has never heard of rumors outside. It is said that Princess Ji'an in Beijing threw a box of beautiful jade, and her appearance is exactly like ours!"

Jiang frowned when he heard this, "Princess Ji'an? What's the matter with her that I bought?"

Jixiang was so anxious that he had no choice but to remind Jiang: "Did the wife buy it? Did you give the money? You didn't even call an IOU! How did you come from this jade? How can you tell me?"

"But..." Jiang also heard some tricks and couldn't help but ask again: "But I didn't see any Princess Ji'an today! Even if this jade belongs to her, it was someone else who stole it first and then sold the stolen money to me."

"Oh, Madam!" Jixiang stomped his feet, "Didn't you figure it out? We all let people scare you! The girl who sells jade today is probably Princess Ji'an herself! I have just gone to inquire about it. That Nirvana Pavilion is the business under Princess Ji'an's name. She is the boss, and it is very likely that she will appear there!"

Jiang was shocked, but he still couldn't believe that there was such a thing in the world. She asked Jixiang: "But I and Princess Ji'an have no grudges in the past, so why would she harm me?"

Jixiang lowered his head and didn't move for a long time. Just when Jiang wanted to ask a few more questions, he saw the little girl in front of him kneeling on the ground, "Madam, I guess it's because I am not good at making the princess angry today."

In one sentence, Jiang's thoughts were brought back to the scene when he was in the jewelry store. It didn't matter if he didn't think about it. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel frightened. That's right, they didn't regard each other as someone who was equal to them from the beginning, and they spoke rudely many times during this period. Now that they think about it, it's not impossible for them to design revenge.

Jiang was a little worried, "What should we do now? Jixiang, get up, the matter has already happened, it is useless for you to kneel down. Quickly think about how to solve this problem. Otherwise, let's send the silver bill now?"

Jixiang said helplessly: "But the master hasn't come back yet, where will the wife get the eighty million taels?"

When Jiang heard this, he became depressed. He didn't have enough money and his things were in his own hands. What exactly did the other party want to do?

"Then Princess Ji'an is a princess of a different surname?" She thought of a key point and asked, "The princess of a different surname are not real royals, and they don't have much ability. Let them make trouble. When the master comes back, there will be a conclusion on this matter." The reason why Jiang was so confident in her master was because Lanzhou was the southern border of Dashun. Although they were all magistrates, how could the magistrates of the border prefecture be the same as those in the Central Plains. In order to ensure the safety of the border, the court looked at the border prefectures differently. Although a magistrate in Lanzhou was not as good as the prime minister, it was enough to be comparable to ordinary first- and second-rank officials. She calmed down and told Jixiang: "Don't worry! It's okay."

Jixiang felt a little powerless. They were on the southern border all year round and far away from the capital, so naturally they knew little about the matter here. In addition, the woman did not ask about political affairs, so she didn't know what the situation was in this capital. But just now she went to inquire about Princess Ji'an Feng Yuheng. It would be fine if she didn't fight anything else. After inquiring about it, the little girl was so scared that she almost sat on the ground and cried! She never thought that a princess with a different surname had such a strong position. What's more, she was not only capable of being successful, but also had better life, but she was still the future concubine of the Ninth Prince of Hell. Even if their Lanzhou prefect family dominated the country, such a person could not afford to offend!

The little girl cried so anxiously. The more she looked at her wife's calmness, the more anxious she became. So she cried while telling her what she had learned about Princess Ji'an Feng Yuheng. Finally, she reminded her: "Madam, do you still remember how the Duanmu family, the former commander of the three provinces of the Northern Frontier, was defeated? It was the Princess Ji'an and the Ninth Prince who sent troops to the Northern Frontier to capture it!"

Jiang's heart was trembling when she heard this. She, a woman from the deep boudoir far away in the southern world, did not know these things? Now it sounds like listening to mythological stories, and she can't believe it at all. "There are such women in the world?"

Jixiang nodded, "Yes, Princess Ji'an is. Master, what should we do? I heard that Princess Ji'an is very cautious and will retaliate. She let go of the wind and said that she had lost the beautiful jade. This is clearly a declaration of war on us! What if the master comes back soon..."

As they were talking, the door was suddenly pushed open with a "bang". The two of them in the room were stunned and saw Lanzhou magistrate Ji Lingtian pushing the door in, with a gloomy face and staring at the box of white jade on the table.

Jiang subconsciously protected the jade with his arm and called someone timidly: "Master!"

Ji Lingtian signaled the servants who followed him to close the door, quickly stepped forward and pulled Jiang away, and looked into the box, and couldn't help but beat the table, "I remember you said you were going out to buy jewelry in the morning. After hearing about this, I was afraid that you would go to the jewelry shop run by the princess, but I didn't expect you to go any further." He loved this eldest lady very much, after all, it was a love between a young couple. Even though there were countless beautiful concubines in the family now, this first wife was still the most important person in his heart. "Why is the wife so confused? Since she knows that Nirvana Pavilion is the largest and best jewelry shop in Beijing, why don't she ask who it was? How could the person who can open the shop to the best in the capital be an unknown person."

Jiang was also very aggrieved, and tears suddenly fell in her eyes, "It's just buying jewelry. How did I think there was such a big man behind me? How did I think the princess was not honest and stayed in the mansion and was wandering around with a man? Wait..." She suddenly paused, recalling the scene during the day, and couldn't help but say, "A princess actually had a private meeting with a man?"

Ji Lingtian was confused, "What a private meeting with a man?"

Jixiang also reacted at this time and quickly described the man with Feng Yuheng and Ji Lingtian during the day. They thought that this was also a handle for catching Feng Yuheng, but they thought that if the other party was too forced, they could say it and threaten it. But they didn't expect that the more they said this, Ji Lingtian's face became less and less beautiful, and in the end they were even pale.

He asked, "You said that man was wearing a purple robe and looked handsome?"

Jixiang nodded, "That's right."

Ji Lingtian sighed, "It's okay to be handsome, but do you know what that purple robe represents?" Seeing the two of them dumbfounded, he continued: "The ninth prince prefers purple and has always been wearing purple clothes. He has never changed for so many years. I wonder how could Princess Ji'an have had an intimate meeting with other men? The one next to her must be the ninth prince."

While talking, there were loud voices outside, as if a brigade of people rushed into the inn. The entourage brought by Ji Lingtian took a look at the door, then turned around and said, "Master, it's not good, it's an officer and soldier."

As soon as he finished speaking, the officers and soldiers had already gone up to the third floor and rushed towards the room where they were.

Jiang was unable to argue in the face of Jingzhao Yin Xu Jingyuan's personal search, and Ji Lingtian could not affect Xu Jingyuan's law enforcement. He could only watch his wife and maid Jixiang be taken away. He could only say to Xu Jingyuan: "I will give the princess an explanation for this matter. I hope that Lord Xu will pay attention to my hard work in the southern border. Don't make things difficult for my wife."

The officers and soldiers came and went quickly. In just a while, the inn returned to peace in the past.

Ji Lingtian frowned and sat in the room, thinking repeatedly about where to start this matter. He even remembered that when he came to Beijing, the eighth prince who had been stationed in the chaos in the border areas of the south once told him that everything would be low-key when he went to Beijing, especially not to have conflicts with Lao Jiu and his wife. Good days are coming, and there is no rush for a moment. Unfortunately, his wife was in trouble.
