The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

"Are there any casualties?"

"Many ladies and girls are injured. The girl from Censor Cao's family is the most seriously injured. We need to call a doctor as soon as possible."

Fang Youlang took out a handkerchief and wanted to wipe the blood off his hands.

But it was too intense just now, and even his sleeves were stained with blood.

"Clean up an inner room and place the injured women inside."

After giving the order, the plainclothes women took action.

The injured ladies and girls all had people around to treat their wounds.

When Fang Youlang found his mother and fourth aunt, they were supporting each other and rushing over here with their two children.

Seeing her covered in blood, the two men nervously surrounded her.

"You Lang, you..."

Seeing Lu's face suddenly turn pale, Fang Youlang hurriedly spoke to comfort her.

"It's just a minor injury. The blood on your body is from the enemy. Don't worry, mother."

"What's going on now?"

Ding Meishu held the two children tightly, her face full of worry.

Hearing Fourth Aunt's question, Fang Youlang said that the enemy had been captured, but a trace of confusion emerged in his heart.

Everything was going according to their plan, but the assassins they saw today were all people who had only received minimal training.

Even though they had arranged staff in advance, things went too smoothly and they always felt like something was missing.

"Fortunately, the old lady didn't come, otherwise her body wouldn't be able to withstand such an ordeal."

not good!

grandmother!

Fang Youlang's heart suddenly sank. Yu Ge'er also stayed in the mansion.

Seeing Fang Youlang's expression change, Lu and Ding Meishu also seemed to react.

At this time, Song Shengfu was being held hostage. She was sitting on a chair with Yu Ge'er in her arms.

Opposite her sat an old woman in a black robe.

Looking at her age, she should be about the same age as me.

So, the first sentence Song Shengfu asked after they met was.

"How old are you?"

Tai Shuzhen also looked at the person in front of him in the same way. Seeing that her brows were relaxed and her eyes were clear, he thought that she must have lived a very good life.

There was no sign of fatigue from working hard for the whole family.

When she heard her speak first, the question she asked made her stunned.

How old are you? It's been a long time since anyone asked themselves this question.

She really thought about it seriously, then shook her head.

"It's been so long since I was born that I don't remember your exact age, but I remember we were classmates."

"classmate?"

Song Shengfu looked carefully and found that there was indeed no such person in her memory.

At this point, Song Shengfu had roughly guessed who she was.

Descendants of the Taishu clan.

Coming here, she knew that the confusion in her heart over the years would be cleared up today.

Seeing her like this, Tai Shuzhen continued:

"Of course you don't know me. When I first enrolled, I was in Class A of Qingwu, while you were in Class B of Yanxiang, the same class as my elder sister."

When Song Shengfu heard the other party calling her "sister", she was very sure that the other party was a member of Taishu's clan.

Taishu and Duan were both from Dongyang. The older generation in Dongyang liked to call their brothers and sisters "brother" and "sister". Later, this kind of address gradually disappeared, and people gradually liked to address them in Mandarin.

In the early years, Duan Jing'an also liked to be called this way, but after he entered the court, he gradually changed his name.

"Tai Shulan?"

Song Shengfu found such a person from her memories. She only remembered that this person existed, but she had indeed forgotten his appearance.

"It's amazing that you still remember. I thought that after so many years, no one would remember the Taishu clan."

There was no sarcasm in Tai Shuzhen's tone, but it was full of sadness.

The sadness was too strong, Song Shengfu didn't know what to say and could only choose to remain silent.

After a long while, Tai Shuzhen, who had digested the situation, spoke again.

She stopped reminiscing about the past and changed the subject.

"Do you know how the Taishu clan was destroyed back then?"

When Taishu's clan fell, Song Shengfu was still young and the elders in the family avoided talking about it.

All she knew was the accusation against Taishu under the imperial decree.

Looking at the old woman in front of her who had a hint of stubbornness, Song Shengfu swallowed back the words she was about to say to evade him.

She thought that maybe it was time to talk about something else.

"Burning ambition, overwhelming power to force the master."

Perhaps because he was surprised by Song Shengfu's words, Tai Shuzhen didn't react for a while.

"I thought you were going to say something about rebellion."

After all, the Taishu clan back then were accused of these so-called crimes, and eventually returned to the underworld with these shames.

"In fact, you and I both know that in the political arena, it has always been a cycle of one party taking the stage and the next. The rise and fall of high buildings is nothing new."

After hearing this, Tai Shuzhen couldn't help but sneer.

"Then I wonder when this tall building of yours will collapse?"

Song Shengfu stroked Yu Ge'er's furry head and said, "There's a saying that goes, 'You don't care about your affairs after death when you're still alive. While I'm here, I can still take care of a few things. When I'm gone, all worldly matters will vanish into thin air."

"You're quite open-minded. I wonder what your children and grandchildren would think when they hear what you said."

"Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."

"hehe."

Tai Shuzhen laughed out loud, "Aren't you curious where I've been hiding all these years?"

Song Shengfu shook her head. Emperor Chu and Kang Ge'er had searched for her for a long time but couldn't find her.

Tai Shuzhen took out something from the side with great interest and showed it to Song Shengfu.

She has been mostly silent these years and no one talks to her, but today she was in high spirits when she met an old acquaintance she didn't know well.

Song Shengfu saw that it was a human skin mask. This was the first time she had seen such a thing in all the years since she came to this era.

"It's all thanks to her that I was able to avoid the numerous screenings and remain dormant in the capital."

Tai Shuzhen asked someone to show the things to Song Shengfu.

A man in black brought something in front of her. Song Shengfu took a look and then stopped looking.

Seeing her attitude, Tai Shuzhen was a little disappointed.

"Don't you want to touch it? It feels really good."

Hearing her words, Song Shengfu's scalp felt numb. What did it mean to feel good?

Seeing that Song Shengfu was still unmoved, Tai Shuzhen regretfully asked someone to take the things away.

"This face is extremely precious. It can't withstand heat or cold. I only take it out when I need it. When I took off Li Ruan's face, she was still young. But now that I put it on again, it seems a bit inappropriate. I had to ask someone to make her look older."

Thinking of the face she just saw, Song Shengfu felt a chill in her heart.

No wonder the Emperor of Chu searched Prince Cheng's mansion from top to bottom but found nothing wrong.

The original Princess Chengqin's surname was Li and her name was Ruan. Her elder sister had been a concubine in the palace, so her identity could not be fake.

"Li Jing reported my sister for having an affair, which led to her being imprisoned in the cold palace. The emperor knew she was wrongly accused, but he showed her no mercy."
