After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom
Chapter 231: Free time, no business talk
Huang Momo went to the Beauty Pavilion as she instructed, bought the bird's nest, and then secretly put the rolled-up note into the grid when no one was around.
After she left, Doctor Li, who had been in the back room of the Beauty Pavilion, came out, opened the compartment, and took out the things.
He returned to the backyard and unfolded the piece of paper. The four elegant small characters "The incident was exposed" came into view.
Doctor Li was startled and rushed to the backyard, opened a room that had been shrunk all year round, and gathered together the bottles of medicine and various drugs inside.
He originally wanted to hide it, but then he thought that keeping it would only bring trouble, so he gritted his teeth, took a tinderbox, sprinkled tung oil on it, and started a fire.
A pungent smell hit his nose, and he quickly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and ran out of the house.
In just a moment, the fire shot up into the sky!
When the shop assistant saw the fire in the backyard, he screamed and quickly asked another assistant to put out the fire with water.
By the time the fire was out, the house was half burned and everything inside was destroyed.
"Why did the fire start out of nowhere?"
"Yeah, this isn't a dry season, how come there's no reason for the fire?"
The two servants were exhausted and out of breath. Looking at the burned house, they were afraid that their boss would blame them.
"Maybe it was an accident."
Doctor Li waved his hand at them and said, "I'll find someone to clean up here later. You guys go ahead and get busy."
Seeing that the boss did not blame them, the two men breathed a sigh of relief and immediately put down the wooden basins in their hands and went to the shop.
Doctor Li looked at the pile of ashes, his old eyes filled with a dark look.
One wrong step, one wrong step!
From the moment he took that step, there was no turning back.
The locust tree behind the house has already sprouted green leaves, and the row of willow trees by the river not far away have also sprouted new buds.
Bai Youyou sat on a clean little stool, looking at the cages all around and sighing, "Good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. I always feel like I have to come to this place again."
Zhao Qianqian glanced around and clicked her tongue twice, "The Qiao family is so bold that they dare to make trouble."
Qin Ran said seriously, "Someone gave him the courage to do this, and this person must be of high status."
"The Qiao family will not do anything without profit. If this matter is accomplished, it will definitely be of great benefit to him. But I can't figure out who would risk offending the Duke of Zhenguo to give him benefits."
Bai Youyou thought hard all night but couldn't figure out why the Qiao family did this.
It is even more impossible to just want to avenge Aunt Qiao. They didn't even bother to visit Aunt Qiao when she died. How could they be people who value love and friendship when they are so cold and indifferent?
Zhao Qianqian suspected them one by one, "Could it be that your fifth sister Bai Yaoyao ordered this?"
When it comes to Bai Yaoyao, Qin Ran curled her lips. "She has been very impressive in the East Palace recently. Even the Crown Prince has personally instructed us to treat her with courtesy and not neglect her."
Zhao Qianqian looked gossipy, "Isn't she engaged to that cousin of the Qiao family? Why is she still so shameless and clinging to the prince?"
Bai Youyou said calmly, "The marriage was called off not long ago."
"Did the Qiao family's courage come from the prince?"
Zhao Qianqian's eyes rolled around, and she instantly imagined the scene where the prince got angry for his beloved, "Isn't this the story about the prince giving up his life for the princess when she cries? Who knows?"
"The Crown Prince's position is unstable now. It is impossible for him to go against the Duke of Zhenguo for a woman."
Qin Ran said with certainty.
She grew up with the prince and knew his character best. She would never offend the Duke of Zhenguo for a worthless woman.
"Who could that be?"
Zhao Qianqian couldn't think of who it could be.
Could it be the third prince?
That's even more impossible!
Qin Ran’s throat was dry after eating too many melon seeds. She took a sip of water and then said pitifully, “You have to get out quickly. If you’re any later, you’ll have to attend my funeral.”
Bai Youyou remembered that it was already February and she had forgotten that there was such a beautiful woman who was being strangled by the 'fragrant and gentle' man.
As a fellow wanderer, Zhao Qianqian proudly placed one foot on the chair and patted Qin Ran’s shoulder with her little hand. “Don’t worry, I’ve asked my dad to help investigate. The truth will surely come out soon.”
Qin Ran was so moved that she shed two tears and picked up the teacup. "I'll use tea instead of wine. Let me drink it first as a sign of respect!"
Seeing that they had finished their water, Xiaoju cleverly went to fetch the boiling water on the stove and carefully refilled their water.
There were footsteps outside the prison door, and the four of them looked in the direction of the sound at the same time.
"Oh, we were worried that you would be miserable here, it seems we were worrying too much."
Jiang Tingxiao strode over with Lu Huaizhen, and the servant behind them was carrying a food box and an incense burner.
This cell was clean, but there was still a pungent musty smell that couldn't be dispelled. This incense burner came in handy.
Zhao Qianqian wiped her mouth, quickly put down the leg that was on the chair, and looked at him with a smile, "Prince Jiang, are you and Youyou old acquaintances too?"
Jiang Tingxiao lifted his robe and sat on the empty chair. He glanced at her with a raised eyebrow, "You haven't submitted your jewelry designs for this month yet."
The smile on Zhao Qianqian's face suddenly disappeared, "We are just hanging out, so we don't talk about business."
“You haven’t finished the draft for this month yet?” Qin Ran also blinked and looked at her.
"What kind of draft?"
Among the people present, only Bai Youyou was confused.
Zhao Qianqian was stared at by several pairs of eyes at the same time. She smiled guiltily and said, "I just draw some jewelry patterns to earn some pocket money."
"Ever since someone earned some pocket money," Jiang Tingxiao picked up the hot tea poured by Xiaoju, squinted at Bai Youyou, and said meaningfully, "My Hairpin Flower House's business has been 30% less than usual in the past few months."
"Uh, hehe..."
Now it was Bai Youyou's turn to smile awkwardly. She touched the tip of her nose and said, "This monopoly of a business is too eye-catching. The best thing is to have three tripods, so that it can be as stable as a rock."
Lu Huaizhen laughed, "So, you and Qi Lian are planning to open a Baozhu Tower, join forces with Wanbao Tower, and form a three-legged tripod with Zanhua Tower?"
Bai Youyou said proudly, "The Great Zhou has vast fertile fields and boundless expanses of green. The jewelry business is not limited to the capital, so why should we be confined to this small world?"
"Youyou, are you going to open shops all over the Great Zhou?"
Zhao Qianqian's eyes sparkled. Just as she was about to say that she would join, Jiang Tingxiao interrupted from the side with a cold voice, "If you dare to defect, I will tell your father about it."
Zhao Qianqian's shoulders slumped, and she said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. Anyway, the fat water won't flow into the fields of outsiders, and the fat meat will rot in our own pot."
"By the way, did Marquis Yong'an cause you any trouble last time?"
