Black Lotus Concubine's Case-solving Notes

Halfway through the banquet, Feng Jia accidentally knocked over a wine glass. Everyone couldn't help but look at her face again. She had drooping eyebrows, a flushed face, and rapid breathing, looking like she was drunk.

"Miss Nine? Are you okay?" The noble lady sitting next to her couldn't help but support her arm.

"I'm fine..." Feng Jia shook his head, but his eyes became more and more distracted, as if he was quite drunk.

The smile in Meng's eyes could hardly be concealed: "Xiaojiu is young, but she loves drinking. She must have drunk too much. Well, help her go back and rest first!"

Song Huai immediately stepped forward and wanted to help Feng Jia, but Xiao Shi got there first: "Let me take the girl home!"

Meng also said: "Song Huai, you should go back to Xingyuan first and prepare some sobering tea!"

Song Huai looked at Xiao Shi with a frown, his expression hesitant.

Meng's face fell: "Song Huai, what are you still standing there for? Go quickly!"

Song Huai could only bow his head and nod yes, then he looked at Feng Jia deeply and turned away.

Feng Jia was supported by Xiao Shi as she walked through the Nine-Curve Corridor, then turned right. Her steps were unsteady, and her whole body was pressed against Xiao Shi. She walked unsteadily, but her eyes were half open, and she had a moment of clarity: "This is not the way to the Xingyuan..."

Xiao Shi was a little flustered, and smiled to cover it up, "Miss, the apricot garden is still far away. I see you are quite drunk, so go to the nearby wing to rest for a while."

As she said this, Xiaoshi walked faster and led Feng Jia to the west wing without stopping.

Xiaoshi helped Fengjia to the couch. At this moment, Fengjia's face was flushed and her eyes were closed. She was drunk as a puddle of mud. Xiaoshi had a sneer in her eyes, then closed the door and winked at the person beside her before leaving.

A short and fat figure was standing at the gatehouse, anxiously turning the jade ring on his thumb. When he saw Xiaoshi, he finally felt relieved.

Fortunately, the distribution of all servants for today's banquet was under the charge of my younger sister, so no one would pass by here for half an hour. However, Meng Yang was still worried. He looked around for a long time, and after making sure that there was no one, he rubbed his hands and pushed the door open.

The room was filled with burning incense, which was refreshing.

Meng Yang's originally uneasy mood calmed down when he saw the woman on the bed.

I saw a woman lying on the bed, her long black hair was untied and scattered to her waist, and the lake blue dress could not hide her stunning face. Her skin was whiter than snow, her eyebrows were straight and beautiful, and her lips were red, like a snow lotus bud about to bloom, tempting to be picked.

Meng Yang licked his tongue subconsciously, and a tingling sensation spread throughout his body.

So beautiful.

They look so alike!

This Xie Lanzhao looks too much like her mother, the courtesan in Bianzhou, Zhuang Mengdie.

Many years ago, he heard of the fame of this courtesan, who was said to be famous for her guqin music, and even the then national guqin master Ouyang Xu felt inferior to her. What was even more amazing than the guqin was her beauty. Meng Yang refused to believe it and insisted on seeing how beautiful the legendary most beautiful woman in Bianzhou was. So he sailed west just to catch a glimpse of Zhuang Mengdie's stunning face.

After a quick glance that day, Meng Yang realized that the world was not deceiving him!

He had never seen such a beautiful woman, so he immediately promised a large sum of money. However, Zhuang Mengdie was very aloof and did not buy it. Meng Yang thought that the money was not enough, so he offered all the gold, silver and jewelry he had, but the other party still did not buy it. Later he found out that this courtesan was different from others. She was a geisha and she did not want gold and silver, but a lifetime of companionship.

Meng Yang's original plan to take her as a concubine was completely ruined. He was so hot-blooded that he wrote a letter of divorce and sent it home, insisting on marrying Zhuang Mengdie as his principal wife and dismissing the concubines!

However, his mother was very strong-willed and sent people to forcibly bring him back from Bianzhou. A few days after he left, his brother-in-law, Xie Qian, who was just a poor scholar at the time, took advantage of the opportunity.

With sweet talk, not only did Zhuang Mengdie sell her virginity, but she also gave up everything and followed Xie Qian back to the capital, marrying him as a concubine despite the rumors.

It's so stupid.

Meng Yang thought, even if she flew into the flame like a moth, in the end, wasn't it just a dream like Zhuang Zhou dreaming of being a butterfly? Half of her body was trapped in the four corners of the world, competing with other women for a man's favor, and finally ended up dying in childbirth?

Meng Yang couldn't get the love he wanted, so he hated his brother-in-law Xie Qian. But at this moment, when he saw the face of the woman on the couch, he felt a twisted sense of revenge in his heart.

He walked to the side, and his greedy eyes with heat waves swept over Feng Jia's body little by little. Then he panted heavily and pounced on her fiercely. One hand began to pull the belt around Feng Jia's waist, and the other hand slowly attached to Feng Jia's snow-white neck, as if he was stroking a precious work of art.

"Your mother couldn't marry me back then, and I have regretted it for half my life. I never thought that I would have the chance to favor her daughter today!" Meng Yang panted heavily, with a strange smile, and it was unclear whether there was more hatred or joy in his eyes.

"Don't worry, when you become my woman, I will ask your father for you and let you be my concubine!"

"Of course, if you behave well, I can also make you my co-wife, or I can clear out the backyard for you and give you what I couldn't give to your mother." Meng Yang's greedy gaze moved slightly downward from the neck to rest on the towering undulations. His eyes were as green as a hungry wolf.

Just as he was about to put his hand over hers, the woman, who should have been drunk and unconscious, suddenly opened her eyes. Her eyes were clear, without a trace of drunkenness. She pulled out the hairpin in her hand. The end of the hairpin was sharpened to a very sharp point, which could kill people instantly with one blow.

"Go to hell!"

However, just as Feng Jia was about to stab Meng Yang's neck, Meng Yang's neck suddenly trembled, and then he rolled his eyes, tilted his head, and rolled off Feng Jia.

Feng Jia was stunned while holding the hairpin, looking at the face so close to her, with a look of disbelief in her eyes: "Brother Yunyu?"

"Are you okay?" Li Yunyu was still dressed in night clothes, with her face covered tightly, so her appearance could not be seen at all. However, her pair of inky blue eyes were so special that people could not forget them and recognize her at a glance.

"I'm fine, why are you here?" Feng Jia looked around and found that the window on the east side of the house was opened at some point. He must have just climbed in from there.

"You are so brave. Today is Xie Shubai's conferment ceremony. There are so many guests coming and going. It's easy to be discovered. If you are discovered, you will be dead!"

Li Yunyu stood up, distanced himself from Feng Jia, and shook his head: "I'm not as brave as you."

"What?" Feng Jia frowned.

"You know what kind of person Meng Yang is, yet you still dare to lure the enemy with your body. I am not as brave as you."

Feng Jia also stood up and kicked Meng Yang, who was lying headfirst on the bed, and put the hairpin back into his hair: "If it weren't for you just now, this beast who could even kill his own niece would have been killed right there."

Li Yunyu was stunned for a moment, then snorted, "Poisonous woman."

"Thank you." After a pause, Feng Jia turned back and said, "But I still have to thank you for taking the risk to come in and save me."

Her smiling face was as bright as a summer flower, and she looked as gentle as she could be. She blinked and said, "So, Brother Yunyu, in order to repay you, I will give you a piece of news."

Feng Jia continued, "Half a month ago, someone wrote an anonymous letter to Xie Qian. That person didn't want to expose the handwriting, so every word on the letter was cut from a book page and pieced together. There was a sentence written on it."

"What words."

"I know Song Bing is your man, but where is the other 10 billion taels?"

Li Yunyu was stunned, her eyes full of thought. She and Feng Jia had basically the same idea, knowing that there might be something fishy about the Song Bing corruption case five years ago. Then he didn't show it on his face, and just said, "I am not interested in the 10 billion taels. This news is like a piece of waste paper to me."

"Really?" Feng Jia smiled and shook her head, "No, Brother Yunyu, this news is very useful to you. Do you know who sent the news?"

Li Yunyu had a vague premonition, and his brows furrowed deeply at this moment: "Xie Hui?"

Feng Jia snapped his fingers. "Smart! I spent a lot of effort to dig out this news through open and secret investigations. Xie Hui is actually interested in the 10 billion taels. No, maybe it's not him who is interested, but the people behind him."

She deliberately stopped and spoke slowly in order to observe the expression on Li Yunyu's face: "It's the man who appeared in the Li family ten years ago, the man with the pear blossom jade pendant. He is interested!"

However, Li Yunyu still frowned: "What pear blossom jade pendant? Which Li family is this?"

Feng Jia's heart sank, but she didn't show it on her face. She smiled and said, "Brother Yunyu, we are allies. What is there to hide? You investigated Xie Hui because of the tragic case of the Li family being wiped out?"

Li Yunyu's eyebrows were bent down fiercely. She was obviously smiling, but this smile was cold and hard with a warning: "Ninth Miss, you are deceiving me, but unfortunately, I am really not doing this for the Li family you mentioned."

Feng Jia lowered his eyes slightly. If it wasn't for the Li family, why didn't he let Shen Shi leave a message before he died at Cheng'en Temple that day before killing him? But looking at his expression, it didn't seem like he was faking it...

Li Yunyu asked: "Is this news reliable?"

"Of course!" Feng Jia came back to her senses. This was the information she had sent to Shen Jing, who was thousands of miles away, and he had used the largest intelligence network in the capital, which took him half a month to find out.

"Thank you." Li Yunyu pondered for a moment and finally said.

"You're welcome. We are allies, so we should help each other." Feng Jia smiled brightly. "So why did you come to Xie's house today?"

She didn't believe that Yunyu knew that she was feeding the tiger with her own body, so she broke into Xie's house to save her.

What allies, what mutual help, they were just excuses to trick him into talking. Li Yunyu shook his head and did not respond.

Feng Jia could only sigh secretly, it seemed that he was not as easy to deceive as before?

"What should he do?"

Feng Jia's eyes swept across Meng Yang, and she said casually, "What else can we do? Give him a different way to die."
