Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen
Chapter 139 A good show
Gu Chengyan really fell in love with Mudan at first sight.
After all, peonies are indeed beautiful, and people do have their own opinions.
But in the situation at that time, Gu Chengyan was also very busy, and he had no chance to pursue her.
Later, everything was on track and went smoothly. After Zhao Zhuoxi came to the capital, he had less things to do, so he dared to find an opportunity to confess his feelings.
Jiang Jiu was very reluctant to part with Mudan.
"Gu Chengyan has good taste, huh. But marrying Mudan isn't that easy. Don't look at Mudan as a shrewd person. She's very resourceful. If Gu Chengyan didn't make as much money as Mudan, she might not be willing to pay him back..."
Baizhi smiled, and Nanny Qian was very pleased.
"I think they are a good match..."
Shaoyao was busy making snacks and hadn't found anyone she liked yet. The other girls were also busy with their own things, just like what Baizhi said.
Even if everyone lives in the same yard, it is not easy to get together because everyone is busy with their own things.
They got together on New Year's Eve. Before Bai Zhi came, they had finally managed to get together.
Finished talking about Sucheng.
Jiang Jiu asked again: "What you said about your family, is it true?"
Bai Zhi nodded solemnly: "Of course it's true, but I concealed some things. At that time, after my house was burned, the prince's men happened to be nearby, and he was the one who took me away."
"Otherwise, I would have been silenced."
Jiang Jiu was stunned: "So, you actually know who the murderer is?"
Bai Zhi snorted coldly: "Who else could it be? Isn't it Master Shen's current wife, Yan Xiaoxiao, the daughter of Lord Yan, the leader of the Imperial Guards?"
"Ah? It's her?" Jiang Jiu frowned slightly, and then he knew the purpose of Zhao Zhuoxi saving Bai Zhi.
The daughter of the Shen family married into the Zhou family, and the son married into the leader of the imperial guards. This prefect of the capital city was good at playing both sides and was very good at making friends.
Jiang Jiu: "So, the person who sent the letter to Yan Xiaoxiao must be Mr. Shen's father? I guess when he wanted to marry you, Mr. Shen must have opposed it."
Bai Zhi nodded: "It is true that I am marrying above my station."
Back then, Bai Zhi accompanied her father to the mountains outside Beijing to collect herbs, and accidentally rescued Shen Zerui who was hunting in the mountains.
Shen Zerui fell on his head and lost his memory, so he lived in the Bai family for a while. He then developed feelings for Bai Zhi and was determined to marry her.
If it were an ordinary family, this would be a beautiful story.
Wouldn't it be that only when the blood clots in Shen Zerui's head dissipated and he remembered his own life experience, he would find out that he was the son of the prefect of the capital.
Bai Zhi's father felt that the two families were not a good match at the time. After Shen Zerui left, in order to stop his daughter from having such thoughts, Bai Zhi's father sent her to live with her aunt in the countryside for a while.
Unexpectedly, Shen Zerui was still so infatuated that he insisted on marrying Bai Zhi, completely ignoring the fact that Lord Shen had already arranged a marriage for him with the Yan family.
So, Lord Shen decided to go all out and told Yan Xiaoxiao about Bai Zhi.
Yan Xiaoxiao was a martial artist with an arrogant personality. Her father was the capable leader of the imperial guards around the emperor, so she burned down the Bai family clinic without saying a word.
Only after Shen Zerui learned that Bai Zhi was burned to death did he give up the idea and marry Yan Xiaoxiao.
After Bai Zhi knew the truth, she wanted to take revenge immediately, but was stopped by Zhao Zhuoxi's men and brought to Zhao Zhuoxi. Zhao Zhuoxi comforted her and promised to avenge her.
Now, Bai Zhi has been waiting for three years and finally got the chance.
Jiang Jiu patted Bai Zhi's hand and said, "It's really not easy to move to the Shen and Yan families. If the prince hadn't stopped you, you would have been like an egg hitting a rock if you relied on your own strength. However, now we have to make a long-term plan."
Bai Zhi nodded confidently: "Miss, I believe in the prince, and I believe in you too."
"After I arrived, I went to our teahouse for tea and ran into Miss Shao. She said that it was Miss Shao who avenged her."
Jiang Jiu was embarrassed: "Alas, that's not the case. It was just a coincidence. After all, her enemy is the Zhou family. However, the prince is also cruel. Knowing that Miss Shao's sister was killed by a dog, he must let that beast of the Zhou family taste the pain of being bitten by a dog..."
"Otherwise, the Zhou family will be caught in one fell swoop. This case is still in the Dali Temple, and Prince Ling is holding it..."
Bai Zhi held Jiang Jiu's hand tightly: "In short, I believe you, my Lord. I will do whatever you ask me to do. Even if I die this time, I will bite the Shen family and the Yan family hard..."
Indeed, it was just a private affair between two children. If the Shen family had told the Bai family not to marry above their station, Bai Zhi's father would have taken his daughter and the whole family away and never set foot in the capital again.
Why did they have to kill them all and take the lives of a family of four? Bai Zhi's sister-in-law was pregnant at the time.
If Zhao Zhuoxi hadn't promised to help Bai Zhi avenge this hatred and grudge, Bai Zhi would have definitely taken it upon herself.
But she also understood that using her weak strength to fight against the Yan family and the Shen family was like hitting a rock with an egg.
Jiang Jiu comforted him, "Now that you are here, just stay and wait for the opportunity."
Opportunities are not waited for, they are created.
Shen asked Zilan to keep a close eye on Jiang Jiu, while Jiang Jiu directly bribed Nanny Song who was beside Shen.
Although Nanny Song was Shen's wet nurse, she was greedy for money.
Knowing that Nanny Qian had a relationship with the owner of the rouge shop, she always wanted to ask for some benefits. Nanny Qian simply gave her some rouge frequently, and asked her to buy it at a low price, and then sell it to the girls in the mansion at a high price, making a profit from it.
After a few visits, Nanny Song became familiar with Nanny Qian.
Nanny Qian could basically find out everything about the Zhou family and the Shen family.
The next day after Baizhi settled in, Nanny Qian heard the news from Nanny Song.
"Miss, Madam Shen went back to her parents' home today. I heard that she had a big fight with her brother and came back without having lunch. It seems that what you said is right. Madam Shen must know Miss Baizhi's jade pendant."
Jiang Jiu snorted coldly, "Of course. The jade pendant Bai Zhi held had the word 'Shen' clearly written on it. It was made of white jade. Her jade pendant was carved with an orchid because her maiden name was Zelan, while her brother's jade pendant had a nine-tailed fox carved on it. The nine-tailed fox is a symbol of good fortune."
The jade pendants of the ancients were all given by family members and were very meaningful.
So, there is no way to make a mistake.
Especially the handwriting on the letterhead.
Jiang Jiu was not in a hurry: "Wait a little longer, Shen Zerui must come to the door himself, otherwise, who knows how high Bai Zhi's status is in his mind."
After Shen Zelan went back to test the waters, she found out that Shen Zerui had a woman he liked before he got married, but Shen Zerui said that she had been burned to death.
Shen Zelan did not try again.
But he secretly investigated the truth behind the fire in Baizhi's house.
At the same time, he had people monitor Jiang Jiu and Bai Zhi and not let them leave the house.
Whenever Jiang Jiu wanted to leave the house, she would either not agree to them leaving because she was not at home, or she would find various reasons to stop them.
However, Jiang Jiu is not someone who can be easily fooled.
That day, she didn't say she wanted to leave the house, but directly asked Nanny Qian to take Baizhi to the teahouse.
Shen asked people to monitor Jiang Jiu and Bai Zhi, but did not ask them to monitor Nanny Qian and the maids in the mansion.
In the teahouse, Bai Zhi was wearing a white mourning dress, with a straw stuck in her hair, singing a song, she wanted to sell herself to bury her adoptive father.
