A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

After Zhao Yichen and Heihu returned, they went straight to the study.

"What is the specific situation?"

Zhao Yichen threw off his robe, sat on the chair and asked.

Hei Hu stood opposite him and said respectfully, "Master, I heard that Zheng Hong's third concubine is a spy of Nanling State. Someone reported it to the Second Prince, and the Second Prince reported it to the Emperor.

During this period, the emperor sent people to secretly investigate the matter, and even General Zheng was involved, and the evidence was conclusive.

Tonight, the Second Prince also sent people to confiscate the Zheng residence. Everyone in the Zheng residence was arrested and imprisoned. I heard that this was also the Emperor's intention."

"Of course. For such a big matter, how dare Second Brother make the decision without Father's approval?

However, my second brother also attended Madam Yang's birthday banquet with us today. I didn't expect that he could accomplish such a big thing in secret! And no news was leaked at all!"

“My Lord, General Zheng is just a bit reckless, but I don’t think he would commit treason.

Three years ago, in the battle with Nanling State, General Zheng was the deputy general of his master. At that time, General Zheng killed countless Nanling soldiers and beheaded two generals of the enemy.

After that war, General Zheng has been staying in the capital. How could he have secretly colluded with the Nanling Kingdom?"

Zhao Yichen didn't think so. He said, "But his third aunt was rescued by him on the way back to the capital. Maybe there really is something wrong with her. Zheng Hong was deceived by her and implicated. He can only blame himself for not being able to judge people well."

After Zhao Yichen's reminder, Hei Hu remembered that after the war, on their way back, they met a woman covered in wounds. She said she had not eaten for three days and wanted to ask them for food.

At that time, the woman ran straight to Zhao Yichen, crying and begging him to have mercy on her.

Zhao Yichen showed no mercy at all. He walked around the woman and left, only ordering Heihu to handle it.

Hei Hu gave the woman two cakes and told her to leave quickly.

Who knew that this scene was seen by Zheng Hong!

Zheng Hong's injuries had not healed at that time and he could only walk with the help of crutches.

Zheng Hong accused Hei Hu of being too unsympathetic and even paid a few taels of silver out of his own pocket to the woman.

Hei Hu was not willing to take care of these unimportant matters. His duty was to protect his master. As soon as he saw Zheng Hong coming, he simply handed the matter over to Zheng Hong to solve and quickly slipped away.

Who would have known that the next day, the woman became Zheng Hong's personal maid, specifically responsible for taking care of his daily life.

At that time, Zheng Hong was injured and really needed someone to take good care of him, so Zhao Yichen didn't say much.

Besides, Zheng Hong’s identity is there, Zhao Yichen would not care about such things!

Later, Zheng Hong brought the woman back to the capital. Later, the woman became Zheng Hong's third concubine.

"Master, do you mean that General Zheng let the wolf into the house and killed his entire family?"

"Isn't it? I admit that General Zheng is brave and good at fighting, but it is a taboo to trust others easily."

"General Zheng is the prince's man. I wonder what the prince will do if he finds out about this?"

"Now that things have come to this, I guess my eldest brother can't do anything for the time being."

"I guess that the eldest prince will soon discuss this matter with the master."

"Ah."

Obviously Zhao Yichen thought so too.

The master and servant guessed correctly. Early the next morning, the prince sent someone to ask Zhao Yichen to go to the prince's mansion to discuss matters.

Zhao Yichen originally planned to arrange for someone to go to the inn and take Shen Qingqian to his house, but then he changed his mind and thought that if Shen Qingqian came, it would not be appropriate for him not to be at home.

So he changed his mind and decided to go and pick him up in person after discussing the matter with the prince.

Shen Qingqian got up early in the morning and planned to go shopping with Liu Shuyao and Yingzi after breakfast.

Liu Shuyao had just arrived in Beijing, so Shen Qingqian had to take her out for a stroll, to see the customs and culture of Beijing, and then buy some things she liked.

As for Yingzi, she was in a bad mood these two days and didn't talk much. Shen Qingqian also wanted to take her out to relax.

When they go out, Shen Qingfeng and Zhang Sheng will also go with them.

So the five of them went out together, with the three girls walking in front and the two men following behind, acting as flower protectors.

Several people came to East Street in the capital, which is a commercial street. The road is very wide, with shops on both sides, selling all kinds of things.

In front of the shop, there are many small stalls selling various snacks, small ornaments, etc.

No matter when, shopping is a woman’s favorite, and shopping is the best way for a woman to forget her worries.

Soon, the three girls were having a great time shopping and bought a lot of things.

Shen Qingfeng and Zhang Sheng helped them carry things and seemed to enjoy it.

In the Chu Mansion, Liu Yuyao sat in front of the dressing table, and the maid behind her inserted a red hairpin shining with gold into her bun.

"Miss, can you wear this pearl hairpin today?"

Liu Yuyao looked at herself in the mirror, then picked up a gold cloth swing from the jewelry box and said, "Put on this one, too!"

The maid did as she was told and shook the cloth for her to put on the other bun.

At this time, a maid came in from outside, bowed to Liu Yuyao, and said, "Miss Yuyao, the carriage is already waiting at the gate. Madam wants you to get out quickly."

"Okay, I'm ready, let's go now."

When Liu Yuyao saw that it was Nanny Yuan who was beside Madam Chu, she quickly agreed with a smile.

Nanny Yuan delivered her message and turned away.

Liu Yuyao tidied her clothes before going out with her two maids.

Two luxurious carriages were parked at the gate of the Chu Mansion. Madam Chu and two maids stood beside the carriages.

Mrs. Chu was still dressed in simple and elegant clothes, but it could not hide her noble lady's temperament.

When Liu Yuyao saw her, she quickly knelt down and saluted: "Hello, mother. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."

Mrs. Chu said expressionlessly, "Okay, get up! I'm going out today to buy you a dowry. If you go out early, you can choose more!"

"Okay, thank you, mother."

Liu Yuyao stood up and raised her head at the same time.

Only then did Mrs. Chu see her makeup clearly, it was really... vulgar!

Mrs. Chu frowned in disdain and without saying anything else, she took the two maids and got into the carriage in front.

Liu Yuyao and her two maids got on the carriage at the back.

In the carriage ahead, Nanny Yuan said to Madam Chu, "Madam, just let the housekeeper take care of the dowry. Why do you have to go there in person?"

Madam Chu sighed and said, "This time, the Qingyuan incident was settled with the help of the master. Since the master cares so much about this daughter, I will cater to his wishes and pay more attention to his daughter. I believe the master will be happy too!"
