Regarding Shi Sheng's intention to rebel, Qiu Shui felt that her Young Miss was lying.
They hadn't even gone to the capital. How could they rebel?
Qiushui repeatedly told Shi Sheng not to say anything. If this got out, the entire Ruan Manor would be in trouble.
Qiu Shui realized that her mistress did not do anything strange after she said those words. Only then did she feel relieved. Her mistress's words had been a little crazy recently. She did not know if it was because she was frightened by the bandit kidnapping last time.
Should she call a doctor for her mistress?
Yes, she had to.
Qiushui went to call the best doctor in the county. She asked the doctor to take Shi Sheng's pulse as a precaution.
In the end, she only got a few words.
Miss Ruan was in good health.
There was nothing wrong with her.
The more Qiushui thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. Where did her mistress's sword come from?
When did her mistress become so powerful?
She had been serving her mistress since she was young, but she never knew she had such skills.
Shi Sheng, who was under suspicion, was under Qiu Shui's 360-degree surveillance. She wanted to find something strange about Shi Sheng.
However, Shi Sheng basically ate and slept when he had nothing to do. Otherwise, he would stay in the study. He didn't ask about the manor or the shop.
Qiushui's gaze changed. She walked slowly to Shi Sheng's side. "Mistress …"
"Don't ask me anything. I might not tell you even if you ask." Shi Sheng didn't even look up.
Qiushui widened her eyes. How did her mistress know what she was going to ask before she asked?
Well, her mistress seemed to be quite mysterious recently.
Qiushui could only suppress her doubts and think about it in secret.
Shi Sheng was waiting for news from Sir Fan. However, the capital was too far away. It would take at least a month for him to go back and forth.
By the time Shi Sheng received Sir Fan's letter, more than a month had passed.
The situation in the capital was tense. The Emperor wanted to get rid of Dugu Xiu. The last time Dugu Xiu was stranded here, he was chased by the Emperor.
Dugu Xiu had returned to the capital, but he didn't have a falling out with the Emperor. They didn't seem to have anything out of the ordinary, but they had secretly fought many times.
Whatever Fan Xian told the Shi Sheng must have been irrelevant.
As for Shi Sheng's question about Dugu Yi, Sir Fan only used four words to answer that he had disappeared.
Dugu Yi is not in the capital?
Where did he go?
Dugu Xiu actually allowed Dugu Yi to leave the capital?
Or did Dugu Yi secretly leave the capital while Dugu Xiu was being chased by the Emperor?
Shi Sheng felt that the latter was more likely.
Shi Sheng sighed. 'How am I supposed to push Dugu Yi onto the throne when the emperor is so far away?'
…
Su'Er had been having a hard time recently. Ding Xiang had cried in front of the elders of the He family, saying that He Ting and Su'Er were too close. Su'Er had been chased out of the He family residence by the He family, and the shop had been taken back by the He family.
He Qing was locked up in the residence and was not allowed to go out.
Lilac proudly showed off in front of Su 'Er.
This was not the time for her to be unlucky. The Su family actually came to find her again, saying that her sister was seriously ill and begging her to go back and take a look.
Su'Er had a good impression of her sister, who was in the same situation as her. Under the Su family's cries, her heart softened and she went back.
When she went back, she found that it was not her sister who was seriously ill. It was because the Su family had rented land from another landlord with the surname Li. They did not have enough manpower, so they asked her to go back.
Su'Er's little money was also taken away by her mother. When her sister cried again, Su'Er could not bear to leave even if she wanted to.
Su'Er could only continue to farm at home.
At this time, Shi Sheng had already gone to the capital alone.
The prosperity of the capital was not something a small county like Baihe County could compare to. She could be said to be the richest person in Baihe County, but when she came to the capital, she found that she was actually still a peasant.
Eating Earth Sheng found an inn to stay in, and at the same time, he inquired about gossip.
Inns, restaurants, and teahouses were always the best places to listen to gossip.
"I heard that the Prince Regent is going to marry the Northern General's daughter. Is it true?"
Shi Sheng supported his chin with his hand as he listened to the two people next door talk. His expression was a bit strange.
Dugu Xiu was going to marry a concubine?
He did not want the female lead anymore?
"Why not? I have a relative working in the General's residence. I heard that the betrothal gifts are going to be sent soon."
"Is it true? Who is he marrying? "
"I think it's the eldest daughter of the General's residence."
"Why not the second daughter?" There were two daughters in the Northern General's residence. The eldest daughter was not as famous as the second daughter, but it was said that the eldest daughter had a good temper.
As for the specifics, they, as commoners, did not know.
That person lowered his voice and said, "The second daughter is going to enter the palace. Don't go out and talk about this. If people know, then …"
"I know, I know. Don't you know what kind of person I am? Let's just talk about it. But entering the palace? The Northern General has a good idea. One will marry the Prince Regent, and the other will enter the palace. When the time comes … "
Sure enough, a few days later, the news of the Prince Regent sending betrothal gifts to the Northern General's residence spread widely. When the betrothal gifts were sent, Shi Sheng even went to watch. It was a big scene.
Just as Dugu Xiu entered the residence, the Emperor's imperial edict arrived.
It was an imperial edict announcing that the second daughter of the General's residence would enter the palace as a concubine. The Emperor's people and the Prince Regent's people blocked the entrance. No one wanted to give way to the other.
In the end, it was the General of the Northern Army who came out to smooth things over.
The wedding was set for half a month later. The Emperor and the Prince Regent probably had a confrontation. The wedding was set on the same day.
This matter became the topic of conversation after dinner.
Shi Sheng went out of the inn and prepared to go to the palace to see what the Emperor looked like. The Emperor was the biggest villain, so …
Maybe it would be Feng Ci?
Just as Shi Sheng was approaching the palace, he saw a familiar figure from the corner of his eye. But when he looked carefully, he did not see it.
Shi Sheng frowned and chased in that direction.
Shi Sheng chased for a while and stopped. He touched his chin. Did he see wrongly?
"Miss Ruan."
Shi Sheng looked up at the source of the voice. Dugu Xiu came down from a nearby restaurant with two people.
Dugu Xiu was wearing a black brocade robe. He had long and narrow eyebrows, sharp and wise eyes, and thin lips. He did not hide the aura of a superior. An invisible pressure was emitted from his body.
"Prince Regent," Shi Sheng said with a smile. His attitude was very casual. He was not scared by the aura of the Prince Regent at all.
Dugu Xiu frowned slightly. "Why is Miss Ruan here?"
She knew that he was the Prince Regent.
When he was in Baihe County, he did not expose his identity.
Dugu Xiu did not know how long she had been in the capital, so he was not sure if she knew after she came to the capital. So, he did not ask.
"Why can't I be here? You speak as if you own the capital. "
"Impudent!"
Dugu Xiu's people shouted and glared at Shi Sheng.
