Su Ningxin looked down at the half-eaten candied haws, and felt that it was really damaging to her image, so she casually stuffed it into the hands of Shen Zhao next to her, and then entered the silver building with her hands behind her back.
Shen Zhao was shocked by this series of actions. He looked at the candied haws and then at Su Ningxin. He was speechless for a moment. Finally, he angrily picked up the candied haws and took a bite, then threw the rest aside. Followed into the silver building.
The little girl standing at the door was pleasantly surprised when she saw Su Ning disguised as a man. She looked at her with bright eyes and wanted to follow her. When she saw Shen Zhao behind her, she was a little confused, and finally stopped and stood. Watching the two of them from a distance at the door.
"Do you want to buy jewelry?" Shen Zhao approached Su Ningxin and asked.
There was nothing to hide, so Su Ningxin nodded casually.
Shen Zhao continued, "These are ordinary goods displayed outside. I know this shopkeeper, and I will ask him to bring you the best."
"No, let me take a look at these outside first." Su Ningxin walked around the store as she spoke, and finally found the piece of jade the little girl was talking about in the corner of a jade material.
From the outside, it looks like just ordinary white jade. It has been simply polished and has no carved patterns. Moreover, it is not the best quality. It is impossible to tell whether there is really a red stone inside.
Su Ningxin could identify it because when she walked to the cabinet, she saw an excited expression on the face of the little girl at the door.
Su Ningxin smiled secretly and didn't take another look at the jade. Su Ningxin withdrew her gaze and said to Shen Zhao, "It's true that there are no good jewelry. Let's ask the shopkeeper to bring out some good ones."
After hearing this, Shen Zhao raised his voice and said loudly, "Shopkeeper, your grandfather, Prince Shen, is here, why don't you bring out all the best goods!" Shen Zhao's voice was a bit bohemian, loud and magnetic. , even shouting like this is not annoying.
Hearing Shen Zhao's shout, the shopkeeper who was resting in the back room hurriedly ran out with his shoes on. When he saw Shen Zhao, he said, "Why are you here free today..."
The elder who originally wanted to say a few words was glared at by Shen Zhao and immediately swallowed back what he said, "Just wait, I will bring the best to you right away."
Su Ningxin glanced at Shen Zhao and asked, "Are you familiar with him?"
"It's not that familiar. My mother always likes to come here when she buys jewelry. I..." Shen Zhao suddenly thought of something and his voice stopped abruptly. He glanced at Su Ningxin uneasily. He was relieved when he saw that Su Ningxin's expression was as usual. tone.
Su Ningxin knew what Shen Zhao was thinking, maybe he was afraid that she would be angry when he mentioned Mrs. Taiping. After all, he felt that Shen Qing's aunt was killed by his wife.
In fact, this matter was a misunderstanding. The death of Su Ningxin's biological mother, Aunt Zhu, was indeed related to the madam, but the relationship was just that the madam always suppressed her, made her set rules, and ridiculed her. After years of depression, she developed a heart disease, and finally fell into depression. end.
Although she was her biological mother in this life, Su Ningxin didn't feel that Mrs. Taiping had done anything wrong. It was not normal for a wife to discipline her concubines. Even if she sold her aunt with a wave of her hand, no one could tell her. What comes.
Aunt Zhu could have married a farmer and become her first wife, but she was greedy for the power of the uncle's house. Suffering a little injustice was the price she paid for this wealth. No wonder others wanted to fly to the branches and live in fine clothes and food, but also I want everyone to pamper you and respect you. How can there be such a good thing in the world
As for why Shen Zhao thought it was the eldest lady, it was because the eldest lady asked the maid to give Aunt Zhu a bowl of chicken soup that day. Aunt Zhu died soon after drinking the chicken soup. What makes people even more suspicious is that the maid who sent the chicken soup also committed suicide.
Later, Uncle Taiping was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, but nothing was found. However, everyone agreed that it was the madam who did it, but her hands and feet were too clean. Not to mention Shen Zhao, his biological son, even the eldest madam might have thought it was that person. The poison given by the maid protector.
The actual situation is that the eldest lady took a sip of the chicken soup while eating. She felt that the chicken soup was too meaty, so she spit it back and deliberately asked the maid to send it to Aunt Zhu to humiliate her. Aunt Zhu at that time He was already suffering from a heart disease that was difficult to treat. After being so stimulated, he died without even taking a breath.
The little maid who delivered the chicken soup thought that Madam had poisoned it and delivered it with her own hand. If it were traced, Madam would definitely blame her, but she could not bear the charge of poisoning her aunt, and it might even affect her family. , simply hung a belt from the beam and hanged himself.
Even Mrs. Taiping felt that Aunt Zhu always relied on the master's favor to show off her power in front of her, which made even a maid unable to stand it. She poisoned her master and killed Aunt Zhu. In order to express gratitude to this maid's loyal wife, she also She gave her family a lot of money, and now everyone was even more suspicious that it was Madam.
Su Ningxin had already investigated the relationship clearly, but she never told the people in Taiping's Mansion, because when she married the fifth prince, Taiping's Mansion felt that she was a relative of the emperor, and even more so as Concubine Chen. He was so arrogant that if he wasn't afraid that he would retaliate against his aunt, he would not dare to enter the palace and get close to him, for fear that their tails would reach the sky.
"Shen Shizi, I have presented it to you. Please take a good look at it. This is the best jewelry in the entire capital. The material and workmanship..."
"Stop talking nonsense." Shen Zhao gave the shopkeeper a cold look, and the shopkeeper immediately fell silent.
He turned around and changed his face, looking at Su Ningxin with a flattering look, "See if there is anything you like, and I will buy it for you. If you don't like it, go elsewhere."
Su Ningxin picked up a green bracelet and looked at it, "No need, I have money myself, I don't need you to buy it."
"Why are you so polite to me?"
"Shizi Shen and I just met today, so we should be polite." Su Ningxin said as she looked away from the bracelet and looked at him warningly. Shen Zhao suppressed his words, but still kept his mouth shut.
[Although I like money, I also have principles, okay? I would never take this kind of money that would cause a lot of trouble.]
Outside the door, Chu Jihan was riding to the palace. He glanced at the jewelry shop and heard this sentence. Chu Jihan reined in his horse and slowed down to look carefully. This was not the one he met in Xingyuan Mansion who took Zaohong away. Horse's son? Why did he come to the capital
After thinking about it, Chu Jihan dismounted his horse and let the servant look at the horse. He walked into the silver building. During his time in the capital, he had met many people, but he had never met anyone who could read his mind. , so far he still can't figure out what the conditions are for being able to read minds, but now he can study it.
