Quick Wear: Crazy Female Supporting Role She is Bai Yueguang
Chapter 104 The Substitute Actress Counterattacks Bai Yueguang (9)
Dou Yao glanced at the shadow behind him and frowned unhappily, "Everyone, step back."
Shadow felt that something was wrong with his master and said with some grievance.
"Master, this concubine is disrespectful to you and actually took advantage of you! This is simply too much!"
Dou Yao coughed lightly, "Maybe she can't help herself. Forget it, it's not important, let's go."
After the shadow left, Dou Yao quickly distanced himself from Shi Qing. He looked at Shi Qing and said in a deep voice.
"It's just you and me here. There are some things that don't need to be hidden. Whose corpse does the Shen Mansion belong to? And who are you?"
Shi Qing was well prepared. From the moment she wrote to Dou Wenjin, she knew that her helper was coming, but very little was known about her true identity.
In order to make money, Xiang's mother sold all those who knew the truth to other people. Someone in power wanted to kill the original owner, but she escaped because she was extremely beautiful.
And her unfortunate life was also related to her appearance.
As the saying goes, fortune follows misfortune, and misfortune follows fortune.
Shi Qing skimmed the foam from his cup and said lightly, "Sir, you are Uncle Dou's biological son. I trust you in my heart. Will you let me down?"
Dou Yao replied quickly and firmly, "When I went to the capital, my father asked me to do something. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the Yun family member he asked me to protect is this girl?"
Shi Qing nodded and handed Dou Yao a few letters. Those were the secret letters between the Fifth Prince and the Shen family. Although she didn't get the secret letters, her copying skills were still pretty good.
She grabbed Dou Yao's sleeve tightly, and the hatred that flashed in her eyes was caught by Dou Yao.
"Brother Dou, my father is innocent. He was convicted simply for having too close a relationship with the deposed crown prince, and the Shen family was the one who fanned the flames behind the scenes..."
Dou Yao got a lot of useful information from Shi Qing, such as the corpse in the pavilions and waterside pavilions was actually Wu Miaoyu, the daughter of the Wu family who conspired with the fifth prince.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and some images flashed through his mind. Then he calmed down, looked at the little girl beside him, and said in a low voice.
"I will investigate this matter, but you shouldn't get involved. Is it worth it?"
Dou Yao was referring to Shi Qing who entered the Shen family as a concubine. He sympathized with Shi Qing's experience, but he felt that she was not worth it.
"I'm already involved in this matter, so how can I deny it? If Brother Dou is willing to help me, I'd be grateful."
The girl bowed gracefully, which also expressed her attitude. Dou Yao did not say much, but only promised.
"Take care of yourself."
Dou Yao was not good at speaking, and the reminder he gave was only a few words, but it was a rare gesture of kindness on his part.
Shi Qing turned around and was about to leave when Dou Yao looked at the large table of delicious food and said softly.
"The dishes are all here, please eat with me."
"Yes, Brother Dou."
Shi Qing did not refuse and stayed to quietly accompany Dou Yao for dinner.
There were several dishes that suited her taste and tasted much better than those made by the chef in the Shen Mansion.
After Shi Qing finished his meal, Dou Yao did not stay long and left six hundred taels of silver for Shi Qing. Shi Qing hurriedly declined, but finally had no choice but to accept it.
After Dou Yao left, she turned around and left Zui Xiang Lou with Lu Ya.
When he returned to the carriage, Shi Qing thought about the amount of silver he had received in the past two days, nearly two thousand taels of silver, which might be enough to do a lot of things.
When he returned to the Shen Mansion, it was already dusk. As Shi Qing stepped into the courtyard, he felt that someone had been waiting there for a long time.
Sure enough, when she appeared, Shen Zhongli had been waiting in the courtyard for two hours. Seeing that Shi Qing had just returned, he asked with a dark face.
"Where have you been? Get down on your knees!"
Thinking of what happened last night, Shen Zhongli's face was a little gloomy. The sudden appearance of the ghost face made him feel a little uncomfortable, and now his body has not recovered yet, and he has been in a listless state.
He originally wanted to seek comfort from Shi Qing, but she actually left the house without permission. So, naturally, he took out his anger on Shi Qing.
Shi Qing was punished to kneel on the cold bluestone floor, her cheeks pale, and she pursed her lips and spoke.
"I went back to Misty Rain Tower to pack my things. Please don't be angry, Master."
Shen Zhongli looked at the girl in tears, and his anger subsided a lot. Shi Qing looked very much like Wen Mian, and he couldn't bear to blame him.
"If you need anything, just ask the maid in the mansion to buy it. You are mine, how can you leave at will?"
Shi Qing obediently walked to Shen Zhongli's side and said softly.
"I know you've been feeling upset lately, so I bought you some snacks when I came back. Please don't be angry."
As he spoke, Shi Qing asked Lu Ya to bring the snacks and roast chicken that he had prepared in advance to Shen Zhongli. However, Shen Zhongli had no appetite at all.
He didn't even look at the snacks, but just raised his hand and overturned them. Lu Ya was frightened and quickly knelt down.
"I wonder what I did wrong?"
Shi Qing secretly complained in his heart, after all, he spent money to buy the snacks, but he didn't realize how hard it was to buy them. What a bastard, he really didn't have the good fortune to enjoy his food.
Shen Zhongli waved his hand, signaling everyone to leave, then carried Shi Qing horizontally in his arms and walked towards the room in the courtyard.
Most of the maids in the courtyard were elderly people, so they naturally knew what Shen Zhongli wanted to do and quickly turned around and left.
After everyone left, Shen Zhongli brought Shi Qing to the couch. He placed Shi Qing on the couch and caressed her cheek emotionally.
Perhaps he was thinking of the white moonlight in his heart, his eyes became obsessed. To be honest, Wen Mian was his fiancée back then, and if it weren't for the emperor's permission to marry her, the two would never have separated.
Shi Qing's phoenix eyes are bright and her facial features are very delicate, which is what he likes the most. He is getting closer and closer to Shi Qing, and a hot kiss is about to fall on Shi Qing.
Unexpectedly, Shi Qing secretly released Wu Miaoyu from the jade Buddha.
There was a puff of green smoke, and Wu Miaoyu looked at Shen Zhongli with a cold gaze, as if she wanted to eat him alive. The hatred between the two people could not be resolved unless it was a life-and-death struggle.
Now Wu Miaoyu has no way to reincarnate, all thanks to him.
"Miaoyu, help me drive him away."
Shi Qing said with some disgust that she didn't want any rotten cucumbers. She said how much she loved the original owner, but it was he who caused the original owner's family to be destroyed.
Shi Qing cast a spell and Wu Miaoyu possessed Shi Qing's body.
Shen Zhongli kissed Shi Qing passionately. When his clothes were taken off and only his underwear was left, Wu Miaoyu opened her bloody mouth.
Shen Zhongli was a little moved, but when he saw the girl under him become green-faced and fang-toothed, he was so scared that his face changed slightly. He didn't have time to do anything, not even to put on his pants. He pushed Shi Qing away in panic and turned to leave the courtyard.
Shi Qing sat up straight and wiped the marks left by Shen Zhongli on his body, with disgust in his eyes.
From today on, Shen Zhongli shouldn't dare to provoke her again. This is a good thing, as it saves a lot of trouble.
Wu Miaoyu sat leisurely beside the bed, grinning, "He's usually so concerned with prestige, but he's actually this scared of ghosts. I should have scared him to death earlier."
Shi Qing said calmly, "It was solved too easily. Don't you feel a sense of accomplishment? I am happy to see him like this. From today on, I am afraid his reputation will be ruined."
Wu Miaoyu felt uneasy again and returned to the Jade Buddha. Shi Qing got up and asked Lu Ya to fetch some hot water so that she could take a milk bath.
While Lu Ya was serving Shi Qing, she started gossiping in a low voice.
"Miss, you don't know. I just heard that when Master Shen left our courtyard, he was seen by many people. The maids were so embarrassed that they covered their faces. The servants in the mansion were so embarrassed that their eyes almost popped out when they saw Master's appearance. Hahahaha, is he possessed by an evil spirit?"
Shi Qing curled the corners of his lips and said calmly, "He feels guilty, so he has other thoughts."
As Shi Qing expected, what happened tonight spread throughout the Shen Mansion. Shen Zhongli locked himself in the study with a gloomy face, and the old lady also sold out anyone who saw Shen Zhongli's miserable appearance.
The old lady felt that something was amiss in the mansion recently, so she sent someone to invite a Taoist priest from Yuqing Temple overnight to perform a ritual in the mansion.
In the huge Shen Mansion, everyone was silent and afraid of angering the master, so they acted very cautiously.
Shouantang
Old Madam Shen rubbed her brows. There had been unrest in the mansion recently. Although she had secretly asked someone to deal with Nanny Zhou, strange things kept happening in the mansion, and she was very worried every day.
Fang Xun came forward to reply and bowed to Madam Shen, "Madame Zhou has taken care of it, please rest assured, Madam."
"Everyone, be alert! Have the Taoist priest draw some more talismans. If any evil spirits invade again, scatter their souls!"
Old Madam Shen's eyes were grim. The Shen family was now highly regarded by the Fifth Prince and was thriving. She would not allow anyone to destroy the Shen family's prosperity.
"Yes, old lady."
Old Madam Shen thought of the courtesan in Yanyu Tower again. She seemed to be lost in thought. It seemed that everything happened after Shi Qing entered the Shen Mansion. Could it be that she was a disaster star?
"Keep an eye on Yun Qing. If she behaves well, it'll be fine. Otherwise, I will show no mercy!"
Aunt Fangxun nodded, "Yes, old lady, but there is one more thing I am not sure whether I should tell you or not."
The old lady rubbed her brows and became a little irritated. "Speak."
"The Lord of Wenchang County is back."
The teacup in Mrs. Shen's hand was smashed to pieces. Her face was gloomy. Thinking of her son's obsession with Princess Wenchang, she felt even more irritated.
"Wanrou is going to marry into the Shen family. It doesn't matter who Zhongli loves. If Wenmian is knowledgeable and sensible, he should stay away from Zhongli."
Nanny Fangxun quickly said politely, "What the old lady said is true."
As the two were talking, the Taoist priests from Yuqing Temple arrived. The old lady hurriedly asked them to exorcise the evil spirits. In just two or three hours, the ritual was completed.
When the Taoist priest left, he handed the two talismans to the old lady.
"This talisman can ward off evil spirits. Please accept it, old lady."
"Thank you, Taoist Master."
The old lady asked Aunt Fangxun to give her some silver. The ritual, which lasted only three hours, cost one hundred taels of silver. The old lady felt very upset.
So she gave the order to reduce the expenses in the mansion. For a while, the maids in the mansion complained, but no one could make the old lady change her mind.
After the people from Yuqing Temple left, the old lady inexplicably felt much more comfortable.
*
Shen Zhongli has been uneasy lately. In the past, he had done everything that Emperor Wenchang had asked him to do in the court meticulously, and no one could find any fault with him.
The new task arranged by Emperor Wenchang has been going on for nearly half a month, but there is still no progress.
After the court session, Emperor Wenchang reprimanded Shen Zhongli and asked him to focus on the government affairs of the court.
Shen Zhongli didn't dare to refute. He just listened to what Emperor Wenchang said. Even though he felt a little unhappy, he didn't say it out loud. After all, he was the current emperor.
When leaving court, Shen Zhongli looked a little ugly. He had lost face two days ago and was unwilling to go back home for the past two days. If he had not had to accompany his mother for dinner tonight, he would not have been willing to go back either.
"Lord Shen, stay."
When Shen Zhongli was upset, someone stopped him.
People were coming and going in the imperial city, and Dou Yao, dressed in green, called Shen Zhongli.
"I wonder what's the matter, Brother Dou?"
Shen Zhongli suppressed his displeasure and asked in a deep voice.
Dou Yao pulled Shen Zhongli aside, and after the palace maid left, he spoke to Shen Zhongli in a deep voice.
"Master Shen, I have something to ask, and I'm still waiting for your answer. What do you think?"
Shen Zhongli was puzzled. "What's going on?"
Dou Yao curled his lips. "It seems that Lord Shen has forgotten about the pavilion and waterside case. This matter has been filed with the Jingzhao prefect. There is still half a month left. Lord Shen should investigate it as soon as possible."
If it was just a maid that the Shen family casually dealt with, it would be fine if no one found out. However, she was exposed in front of Dou Yao. Even if Shen Zhongli wanted to cover it up, he had no chance at all.
Shen Zhongli felt a headache, he lowered his voice and spoke to Dou Yao.
"This matter has been investigated. It was done by the old nanny in the mansion. She committed suicide out of fear of punishment. If Brother Dou doesn't believe it, you can go and see for yourself."
Dou Yao didn't care. He was already aware of what Shen Zhongli had done. He brought it up repeatedly just to make Shen Zhongli uneasy and make mistakes secretly.
"Now that the truth has been revealed, everyone is happy. Lord Shen can go to the government to resolve the matter. I'm just worried that Lord Shen might give others a handle."
Shen Zhongli wanted to use Nanny Zhou to take the blame, but he didn't know that Dou Yao was not easy to fool.
"Thank you, Lord Shen, for your concern. I wonder if you have any plans after the court session. How about we go to Zui Xiang Lou for dinner?"
Dou Yao shook his head and rejected Shen Zhongli's proposal.
"My father is about to return to the capital and is not feeling well. I will not trouble you any more, Master Shen. Goodbye."
After saying that, Dou Yao left without looking back.
There was a dejected look in Shen Zhongli's eyes. Dou Yao was too difficult to deal with, so he didn't say much.
However, Dou Yao did not dwell on the matter, which made him gradually feel relieved.
Shen Zhongli left the palace and returned to the Shen Mansion in a carriage. He hadn't seen anyone in the past two days because there were too many chores in the mansion. Most importantly, the ridiculous thing he did in Shi Qing's room that night also made him lose face.
When he returned to the study, the old lady had already sent someone to deliver Ping An Fu. Aunt Fang Xun placed Ping An Fu in front of Shen Zhongli and whispered.
"Master, the Taoist priest from Yuqing Temple is here today. Please accept this blessing of peace. Our family has not been at peace recently. The old lady said that you should be at ease."
Shen Zhongli looked a little embarrassed, but Nanny Fangxun did not mention what happened yesterday. He took a sip of tea and kept the talisman.
"Thank you, mama."
Aunt Fangxun remembered the old lady's instructions and reminded her, "Madam is about to enter the house. The old lady has handed the arrangements for the wedding banquet to Concubine Qian. The old lady also said that the daughter of the Right Prime Minister should not be treated harshly. After all, she is your cousin, so the betrothal gift must be generous."
Shen Zhongli nodded slightly, and had no doubt about the old lady's decision. After all, the old lady's housekeeper had never made any mistakes.
