A strong farm girl is busy getting rich

Besides, there was no need for Shen Qingqian to make up such a story to deceive her.

She had seen Shen Qingqian's abilities last time in the ruined temple, and now it was Shen Qingqian who rescued them, which shows that Shen Qingqian is really not an ordinary person.

Shen Qingqian asked for the letter, which meant that she knew about the existence of the letter when she was in the ruined temple last time.

Given their current situation, it would be easy for Shen Qingqian to snatch the letter away. However, she used the grace of saving them in exchange, which was enough to show that Shen Qingqian was not a bad person, nor was she their enemy.

Since the last time that woman sent Eunuch Qiao to kill them, she has not sent anyone else. I guess that woman already knew that Eunuch Qiao was burned to death in the ruined temple.

The fact that no one was sent to kill them meant that the woman thought that Eunuch Qiao and the letter were burned together.

If that woman knew that the letter was still in their hands, then all of them would be in danger. They were no longer powerful generals, and it would be easy for a small and powerful person to deal with them, let alone the high and mighty Concubine Dong!

Now Shen Qingqian wants this letter. Whether it is to save her own life or to repay a favor, she should give it!

Madam Zheng said, "Miss Shen has helped us twice, and she is also a benefactor of our Zheng family. I am willing to give what Miss Shen wants. However, that letter may bring about a fatal disaster. Are you sure you want it?"

Shen Qingqian said firmly: "Yes! I must!"

"Okay, girl, please wait a moment."

Madam Zheng said something, and then went out to call Yan'er in. Yan'er was the youngest girl among the female relatives, and Shen Qingqian still remembered her.

Mrs. Zheng pulled out a rough wooden hairpin from Yan'er's head and twisted it a few times. The hairpin broke into two pieces, revealing the paper tube inside that was twisted into the shape of chopsticks.

This wooden hairpin is obviously handmade. It looks rough on the outside, but it is hollow inside. The paper must be rolled tightly to fit in. Mrs. Zheng took great pains to hide the letter!

Madam Zheng took out the paper tube, handed it to Shen Qingqian and said, "Miss, this is the letter. In order to hide it well, I destroyed the envelope, and only this piece of paper is left.

"After receiving this letter, I'm afraid your future life will not be peaceful. Have you thought about it?"

The more Madam Zheng said this, the more important the letter was, the bigger Concubine Dong's secret was, and the more Shen Qingqian became more anxious!

She took it without hesitation and said, "It's okay, I'm not afraid!"

Madam Zheng sighed and said, "In that case, why don't you open the letter and read its contents now? If you have any questions, I can help you solve them!"

"Okay, thank you, ma'am."

Shen Qingqian said, and then unfolded the letter bit by bit. The letter paper was rolled tightly, and Shen Qingqian opened it very carefully. The quality of the letter paper was very good, and it was obvious that it was not ordinary paper, but the paper surface was a little yellow, and it looked a bit old.

Shen Qingqian thought the content of the letter was about state secrets, or evidence of murder and arson!

After reading it, I realized that this letter was written by a woman to her lover.

The content of the letter is not long, but the meaning is clear at a glance.

It probably means that the woman has married someone else, and her husband is not her lover, and she is so unwilling and helpless, etc!

She also said that she hoped her lover could understand her difficulties and that they could be together again in the next life. In short, her love was very deep.

The address at the beginning of the letter is "Brother Xiao".

There is no signature at the end, only a lotus flower is drawn.

Shen Qingqian read the letter carefully and was a little disappointed with its contents at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she understood its importance.

If this letter was written by Concubine Dong, then it would be a big deal! Concubine Dong's man is the emperor. If this letter was written by Concubine Dong, then she is cuckolding the emperor!

This is a matter concerning the emperor's reputation. If the emperor knew about it, he would not let Concubine Dong and that man go even if many years have passed!

However, there is no signature on the letter, only a lotus flower. How can we prove that the letter was written by Concubine Dong?

Shen Qingqian looked at Madam Zheng and asked, "Madam, do you know who the 'Brother Xiao' in the letter is? What does this lotus mean?"

Since Mrs. Zheng gave the letter to Shen Qingqian, she naturally didn't mind helping her solve her doubts.

"Brother Xiao should be the current King Xiaoyao, and Concubine Dong's name contains the character 'He', Dong Yuehe."

"Xiao...Yao...King..."

Shen Qingqian repeated these three words and remembered that Zhao Yifeng had once told her about such a person.

It seems that this King Xiaoyao and Zhao Yichen went to the Western Border together to fight the foreigners. Later, because he accidentally injured the prince, he was driven back to his fiefdom by the emperor.

It seems that Prince Xiaoyao and Concubine Dong were once a couple, and later somehow, Concubine Dong married the emperor.

So, did Prince Xiaoyao really hurt the crown prince by mistake? Was it intentional? To help Concubine Dong and the second prince?

In any case, if this letter was really written by Concubine Dong, then she would make good use of it and deal a fatal blow to Concubine Dong!

Shen Qingqian asked again: "How did this letter get into Madam's hands?"

Then Madam Zheng said: "Before I got married, Concubine Dong and I were close friends.

At that time, the emperor had not yet ascended the throne, and he and Prince Xiaoyao were still princes. I have always known that Dong Yuehe and Prince Xiaoyao loved each other.

At that time, there was a strong demand for Prince Xiaoyao to be the crown prince, but in the end, the current emperor inherited the throne. Dong Yuehe didn't get married to Prince Xiaoyao, but entered the palace to become the emperor's concubine.

According to her, she was forced by her family and she had no say in the decision.

One time, King Xiaoyao suddenly came to me and asked me to help him arrange a meeting with Dong Yuehe. How could I dare to do such a thing? So I didn't agree. I just secretly told Dong Yuehe about this matter during a palace banquet.

She didn't say anything at the time, but when the palace banquet was over, she handed me a letter and asked me to help deliver it to King Xiaoyao.

I didn't want to help with this. After all, she is already the emperor's concubine. If the truth gets out, it will be no joke!

But she said this was a farewell letter and hoped that I would do her this favor no matter what, otherwise she would regret it.

After all, we have been sisters for many years, so I agreed out of softness of heart.

However, when I found an opportunity to deliver the letter, King Xiaoyao had already left the capital, saying that he was going to his fiefdom.

I thought about finding a chance to return the letter to Dong Yuehe, but before I could meet her, I got married and followed my master to the border. The letter has remained with me ever since. "
