A dream ends life

Unlike the Taifu Mansion, after the officials from the Dali Temple explained their purpose, Princess Changle directly sent someone to send them to Shen Antang's courtyard.

The couple now only maintains the name of a couple. Shen An has beautiful concubines, maids, and singing girls who sing for him to entertain him in his courtyard.

There were a male slave and a beautiful and skilled zither player in Princess Changle's room, and the boundary between the couple was clearly defined.

When Shen Andang's women came to their door, the two men tore off the last bit of their fig leaf.

Shen Andang even forced the beautiful zither player once.

The beautiful zither player was tortured so miserably by Shen Andang that Princess Changle was so angry that she rushed into the courtyard, took the singing girl that Shen Andang had redeemed from the brothel, and took her out to give her as a reward to Liu Erzi, the toilet cleaner.

Liu Erzi, who was nearly fifty years old, took the delicate beauty's hand and left with gratitude.

Princess Changle and Shen Andang played their own games, but neither dared to do anything to him. Shen Andang was a waste, but the Shen family was not. Lord Shen was in a high position and had many disciples in the court. She had to live with Shen Andang no matter what.

Last time, Shen Andang's sister offended Yu Luohan, and the princess's mansion was in turmoil. The Shen family turned a blind eye to the affairs of the princess's mansion. As long as the couple didn't make trouble in front of them, behind closed doors, the Shen family would not interfere.

The officials of the Dali Temple lamented that the princess's family was very conscious and they were able to meet the prince consort without any effort.

Shen Andang was wrapped in gauze all over his body, like a big dumpling, half lying on the beauty couch, with one leg stiffly placed on the footstool.

A beautiful woman was half-kneeling behind him, fanning him, and a beautiful maid in front of him was putting freshly peeled grapes into Shen Andang's mouth.

Shen Andang tilted his head and said, "I want something sweet!"

Mei Bi let out a coquettish cry, put the grape into her mouth, and moved her body to Shen Andang's mouth.

Shen Andang hooked his tongue, took the grapes from Mei Bi, and took a sip of it.

"Woo! Sweet! That's the taste!"

The officials of the Dali Temple were all stunned outside the door. Shen Fu Ma is really good at playing. Why didn't they think of it? It's interesting! I must try it when I go back. It looks... very artistic!

"Ahem! Prince Consort, I am Chen Lie, a subordinate of yours, and I am here in the name of the Minister of the Dali Temple to ask you a few questions."

Seeing that Shen Andang was about to eat sweet grapes again, Chen Lie had to speak up.

Shen Andang was a little shocked, "How did you get in? Who let you in?"

Chen Lie: "My Lord, this is not important. I am here to investigate the murder of Prince Wu. I hope you will report the truth later!"

Shen Andang glared at him, "Wu Peiyan was killed. Why are you looking for me instead of catching the murderer?"

Chen Lie said bluntly: "Prince Wu had an argument with his husband before the incident, and they had a big fight. I would like to ask the husband about the specific situation on that day."

Shen Andang was furious: "Wu Peiyan has offended fewer people, but you actually doubt me. You are so bold!"

Chen Lie really has a headache with second-generation rich people like this. Why don’t you just answer whatever I ask you? Why are you so cocky?

"Please answer truthfully, my Lord. Only in this way can we get rid of suspicion and find the real murderer to avenge Prince Wu!"

Shen Andang's only thought was to find the real murderer and avenge Prince Wu. He sat up straight.

He said loudly: "That shameless guy should have died long ago. Why look for the real murderer? He is a righteous man who fights against violence and harms the people! Anyone who dares to do anything to him will be an enemy of this prince consort!"

……

"Madam, why did we buy Jishan? Are we really going to grow medicinal herbs?" Chunshui asked Su Ci suspiciously.

Su Ci stroked the map in his hand, staring at a place on it in a daze.

"Growing medicinal herbs is very profitable, Chunshui, you have to believe me!"

Chunshui said quickly, "Of course I believe you, Madam. However, Jishan is too far away, and the environment there is not very good. Madam's health is not good there. Instead of going to Jishan, it is better to go to the south, where it is warm like spring. It is good for Madam's health."

Su Ci raised his head and smiled: "The south is indeed comfortable. I don't want to enjoy myself. Jishan is actually very good. You will know when you go there."

Chunshui: "Is that a treasure mountain?"

Su Ci shook her head: "If it was Baoshan Changle Princess there, how could she let it go? What I said about planting medicinal herbs is true."

Even if Princess Changle sold Jishan to her, she would still pay attention to her every move. If she found anything special about Jishan, it would be easy for her to take it back with her ability.

Why would she buy such a hot potato?

Su Ci looked at the map, her lips curled up. Planting medicinal herbs was just a cover, and making a feint to the east and attacking in the west was the result she wanted!

She had studied the map of Dongyong for a long time, and combined with her research on geography when she was in Qi State, she was sure that she could find a gold mine!

However, Jishan also has his merits. Making use of them will make her even more powerful!

"Mei Yizhen is out again?" Su Ci asked.

Chunshui curled her lips and replied, "She has been missing at night recently. I don't know what she is busy with!"

Su Ci said: "She has her own freedom, we should not care about it, but we can't be too much when she lives here, don't let her expose us, we still have to be careful with her."

"Yes"!

"Madam! Boss Bai has sent a letter. The winery can reopen the day after tomorrow." Dongliu walked in and reported.

Su Ci nodded slightly. He didn't expect that Mr. Bai would be so decisive and efficient. He could mobilize 50,000 shi of grain in less than a month.

He took out two wine recipes from the drawer and handed them to Dong Liu. "Let Master Luo make them according to the recipes. The temperature and time must be correct. I want this batch of wine to be perfect!"

"Also, notify Mr. Ma and ask him to design a bottle and a jar for the new wine within three days."

Dongliu's mouth twitched slightly. Ma Xiucai was about to get angry again. He could imagine the scene of Ma Xiucai cursing and painting resignedly.

After Su Ci gave the order, he casually asked, "How is the matter with Prince Wu?"

Dong Liu said: "After the Dali Temple found out about Prince Consort Shen and Xu Zhinian, there was no progress. Xu Zhinian was mentally ill and nothing could be learned from him, but Prince Consort Shen was highly suspected and even threatened that Prince Wu deserved to be put to death."

Su Ci held her forehead with her hand. This Prince Consort Shen is really stubborn! He dares to put any hat on his head. It's too troublesome!

Dong Liu added, "At Shoukang Casino, Master Yu took action to erase all traces left by Xu Qingyun. I'm afraid the Dali Temple won't be able to find out."

Su Ci smiled and said, "It's not that easy to erase it. Could it be that he even killed the people hired by Xu Qingyun?"

That would be much easier.

"Yu Luohan didn't confront the Wu family head-on. Princess Changle should be very unhappy. Dongliu, you are adding fuel to the fire!"

Dong Liu: "Madam, what you mean is..."

Su Ci: "It's not my opinion, it's Princess Changle's opinion. No matter what they do, it has nothing to do with us!"

Dong Liu thought about it, with a smile in his eyes. "I understand!"
