Chapter 1001: The Annoying Infatuated Man
Jiang was horrified and angrily shouted: "What do you want to do..."
Before she could finish speaking, the curtain behind the altar table had been torn down by Yu Jie. There was actually a person behind the curtain, and he was a young man. He covered his face with his sleeves in a state of embarrassment, and it was unclear who it was for a while.
"Mrs. Jiang, why is there someone behind the altar table? I didn't dare to say anything when I found it by myself. It happened that Yuan'an County and several noble ladies were here, so I opened the door wildly. Madam Jiang wanted to murder us. Princess? Or do you want to ruin the reputation of our princess again?"
Yujie took a step back and made room so that the people behind her could see more clearly.
There was a man behind the altar table, and he looked like a young man. The eyes of several ladies fell on Jiang, and then on Zhao Xiran. This time, it was not only Jiang who was suspicious, but also Zhao Xiran. It's also suspicious, because she must be in charge now, not Jiang.
Zhao Xiran's reputation has always been good, but now that she has married into the Xingguo Houfu, she is also the direct daughter-in-law of the Jiang family. Of course, this interest relationship is on the side of the Jiang family. Could it be that this time the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law conspired?
No one would believe it if Princess Chen brought a man in and hid it behind the altar table. The Xingguo Hou Mansion was not Princess Chen's territory. When she was still unmarried, I heard that Princess Chen's life in Xingguohou's Mansion was not satisfactory. She was a pitiful little person, and there was no way she could hide as many people as she wanted in Xingguohou's Mansion.
To take another ten thousand steps back, even if she wanted to hide someone, Princess Chen wouldn’t hide the person in Prince Chen’s Mansion? At the moment, she is the only mistress in Prince Chen's Mansion. Why should she go to the Marquis of Xingguo Mansion to hide someone?
"I...I..." Mrs. Jiang was sweating profusely. This time she came out in a hurry. The handkerchief in her hand was almost twisted into a rope. She gritted her teeth and said quickly, "Where did this person come from? I have no idea!"
"Madam, do you really not know? When our princess came here just now, there were only Madam Jiang and a few servants here. When did this person go in? If Madam Jiang doesn't know, who knows?" Yu Jie said coldly. , although she is a maid, but now that Shao Wanru is unable to speak, it is most reasonable for a personal maid to speak for him.
Jiang moved her lips before she wanted to speak, but her hand was grabbed by Zhao Xiran, "Mother, let's see who this person is and why he is here?"
"Yes, yes, let him tell himself why he is here!" Jiang immediately understood and nodded repeatedly.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the man who was covering his face with his sleeves. Hearing the movement, the man knew that he could no longer hide it, so he let go of his sleeves in embarrassment.
Several people present immediately recognized him. He was actually Qiu Yu from the Ministry of Punishment. He was the youngest son of Uncle Li Yang. Uncle Li Yang was now the left minister of the Ministry of War. Qiu Yu himself served in the Ministry of Punishment, and he was considered one of the sons of aristocratic families. A very good young talent, many ladies from aristocratic families have even considered marrying their daughters to him.
"Master Qiu, why are you here?" Princess Yuan'an also recognized him and asked with a frown.
"Master Qiu, didn't you say you were just asking about the case, why haven't you left yet?" Zhao Xiran also looked surprised, obviously she also recognized Qiu Yu.
Although Shao Wanru didn't open his eyes, he sneered in his heart. Zhao Xiran solved Qiu Yu and Jiang's doubts with just one sentence.
Sure enough, the originally panicked Qiu Yu's eyes lit up immediately, and although his smile was still a little awkward, it was no longer the same situation as before, and he looked at the people around him.
They all bowed to each other and said, "I'm really humbled. I hid on purpose just to show off the case. I couldn't leave even if I wanted to!"
"We have found this point after investigating the case. Mr. Qiu is really impressive!" The smile that had been hanging on Zhao Xiran's face faded. No one would be happy if they found out about this kind of thing, not to mention that it led to so many things.
"Hold me down, hold me down, it's a business matter, I have to do this, I hope grandma will forgive me!" Qiu Yu's attitude was very good, and he bowed his hand to Zhao Xiran again.
"Master Qiu, it's not me you offended, it's my mother-in-law and Princess Chen. You made my mother-in-law suspect by Princess Chen, thinking that she was going to be harmful to her." Zhao Xiran said coldly.
"This matter... is indeed my fault... I will apologize to Princess Chen!" Qiu Yu bowed deeply again.
"Master Qiu, you...you made me...misunderstood by Princess Chen again. If it hadn't been broken on the spot, in Princess Chen's heart, it would have been my fault again, just like the previous misunderstanding!" Jiang He took the opportunity to shed tears and said with grievance.
Does this mean that the news that Wang Shengxue said in the previous news from the Ministry of Punishment is false?
There were several ladies who looked at each other but said nothing. It was inconvenient for them to speak before they saw the truth of the matter clearly. No matter how you look at it, this matter is somewhat mysterious. Is it true or false?
Qiu Yu walked up to Shao Wanru, bowed deeply to Shao Wanru, and then said shamefully: "Princess Chen, I heard that the Xingguo Marquis Mansion performed a ritual for the prince and the princess today, so I sneaked in specially and wanted to hear about it. Everyone is talking privately. I am hiding behind the altar table now. If I disturb Princess Chen, please forgive me for being in the Ministry of Punishment and having no control over my actions!"
You're in the Ministry of Punishment and you can't help yourself? Shao Wanru sneered secretly. She was still a little confused at first, but now she has figured out many things. Yes, it is Qiu Yu!
Qiu Yu is from the Ministry of Punishment, and his status is different from other members of the Ministry of Punishment. He occasionally goes in and out of the palace, and he is also in love with Shao Yanru. Such a person is just right for Shao Yanru.
Shao Yanru might not see Qiu Yu at the beginning, but now it is different. Qiu Yu is also one of the few straws that she can grasp. With Shao Yanru's character, of course she wants to hold all the straws in the palm of her hand. This Qiu Yu is it!
If Shao Yanru hadn't been behind it, Qiu Yu wouldn't have been involved in this troubled situation. She had seen Qiu Yu's obsession with Shao Yanru when they were at Yu Hui'an.
Things that had been incomprehensible in the past suddenly became clear. Shao Yanru was in the palace. If he wanted to spread the news, Qiu Yu would be the most suitable person.
At the moment, Qiu Yu is turning against his own army.
Since the case is being tried for the state and it is a major matter for the Ministry of Punishment, although it is not good for Qiu Yu to hide and steal now, it does not mean that there is something wrong with his character. If he is a person who understands the general situation, he will definitely forgive him. After all, he is also doing it for On official business, it would bring disgrace to a noble young man to do such a thing.
Qiu Yu did hide and listen to the noise today, but what he listened to was his own noise. Just now Jiang led him to speak. No matter what he said, Qiu Yu would write it down, and even analyze other meanings from it, so as to This is used as evidence that the person doing the plot is of course doing it to please Shao Yanru.
He is still an infatuated man!
But this infatuated man really disgusted her.
She and this Qiu Yu had met before. At that time, she felt that he was quite loyal to his duties, but now she felt that this man was really self-righteous. Shao Yanru was already the emperor's woman.
Why did he think that he could still miss Shao Yanru and be with Shao Yanru?
A man who is of no great use and who is also daring has actually killed one of his own troops now. He is determined to suffer even if he doesn't deserve it. There is nothing he can do about it. With the name of the Criminal Department, it doesn't matter if he is Princess Chen. Is it difficult to return the favor? Do you dare to reach out to the Ministry of Punishment?
The wooden fish in his hand kept moving, and he chanted scriptures gently at the corners of his lips, ignoring Qiu Yu.
"Princess Chen, I apologize to you. I hope you will ignore the faults of others. It is all my fault. When His Highness Chen returns to Beijing, he will come to apologize!" Seeing that Shao Wanru did not respond to him, Qiu Yu deeply felt again. He bowed his head and lowered his head with respect, and his words were even gentler.
King Chen is not in the capital now, so it is really inconvenient for him as a man to visit Princess Chen.
"Master Qiu, please come back first. Our princess is reciting the Purana Sutra, but we cannot interrupt it. However, our princess will definitely forgive you. In the past, you had a very good relationship with the eldest lady. When you were in Yuhui'an, you still had a good relationship." You have helped the eldest lady, and we, Princess Chen, are also grateful for your kindness!"
Yujie returned the gift to Qiu Yu on behalf of Shao Wanru and said softly.
Got involved with Shao Yanru? Several ladies present were stunned for a moment. Shao Yanru is just a woman who has fallen out of favor. There are many rumors circulating in the family. Although it has not spread to the market, most of them have heard that Shao Yanru is not a good person and hooks up with several people. The prince, this was the matter that was shelved in the cold palace. The emperor had never been lucky enough for her.
In the past, when Shao Yanru had an excellent reputation, no one would think wrong about anyone who had anything to do with her. Now that they know that she is not as beautiful as they seem on the surface, many people have been secretly speculating whether she is real or not. She and other men have long been interested in hooking up.
As soon as Yu Jie said this, everyone's eyes fell on Qiu Yu, secretly guessing that in the past, they really didn't know that Shao Yanru had a relationship with Qiu Yu? It seems that Miss Shao, who was once famous all over the capital, is indeed not a good person like Shao Baolin.
Qiu Yu's face turned red, then turned white, and finally became angry. He slowly raised his head and looked at Yu Jie with a stern look: "Even if you are Princess Chen's maid, you cannot talk nonsense, otherwise the national law will not tolerate it! "
How could anyone know about what happened between him and Shao Yanru?
"Master Qiu, I... what did I say wrong?" Yu Jie looked confused, as if she hadn't yet figured out what she had just said, and how she had offended Qiu Yu.
"You're just a little maid, don't talk if you don't understand anything. I'm investigating a case now, and it's a case from the Criminal Department. Even if you offend Princess Chen in a small way, you, a maid, can't afford it. If you don't step aside, if you continue to talk nonsense, the criminal law will be hard to stay!"
Qiu Yu shouted sternly, throwing his sleeves back in the wind and speaking in a stern voice.
At this time, he also regretted helping the Jiang family. Not only did he not hear anything useful, but he was also implicated. He was even called out by a little girl. The mansion is far away, so there is less need to go to the troubled waters of Xingguohou Mansion.
Compared with the Xingguo Hou Mansion, what he cared about was never the Xingguo Hou Mansion, only Shao Yanru. Shao Yanru had already entered the palace, so why should he have anything to do with the Xingguo Hou Mansion.
After reprimanding him, he took advantage of the punishment department and wanted to retreat. He didn't want to stay and fight, but before he could move, he was stopped by a voice.
"Master Qiu, this is too late!"
