I was tricked by the black lotus [Transmigration Book]

Chapter 20

When waking up from the darkness, it was still gloomy.Wen Xueer watched the lamp oil in the corner of the wall slowly dripping and then solidified, her eyes gradually became empty.

The sun was clearly out of sight, but she didn't know where the wind came in, causing the cold wind to penetrate her bones and making her shiver slightly.

The hair on the sideburns has become messy, adding a bit of decadence.

She heard a series of footsteps, so she closed her eyes again.

She noticed that someone was holding up a candle to take a closer look, and then she heard a scolding in a low voice: "Idiot, I caught the wrong person. This is not Qin Luoluo, but the newly adopted daughter of the Shen family."

It turned out that this was the case, Wen Xueer's heart skipped a beat.

"Ah? Then...do you want to send it back?"

"What are you going to give, are you waiting for the Shen family to come to settle accounts? Don't forget that General Ping Ning is still in the Shangshu Mansion."

"How about? After the limelight passes, deal with her quietly?"

"It's up to you."

Wen Xueer heard the sound of the vessel being placed on the ground, followed by a series of distant footsteps.

-

Princess Zhao'an frowned: "Why are you so sure that the person targeting Qin Luoluo is the one who admires King Jin?"

Because he is the hero.Shen Qingshu was tired of saying this sentence in his heart.

Seeing that Shen Qingshu's eyes were not right, Princess Zhao'an added another sentence: "There are quite a few people in the capital who are eagerly waiting to marry him. One is Lin Yue, the chancellor's mansion who was just married."

Shen Qingshu tapped the wine glass, but did not speak.

"Shen Qingshu, what you said makes sense. All the noble girls in the capital are talented, beautiful and have a family background, but they lost to a folk Qin girl. No matter who they are, they will feel jealous."

Shen Qingshu sighed and said: "Last time I locked on one of Prince Duan, so I dared to trespass into the palace. Now there are several, how can I break in?"

Princess Zhao'an took a sip of her wine: "Prince Duan wanted to pick Wen Xueer's flower before he could be taken back to the palace. As for this time, they have no reason to take Wen Xueer back to the mansion, so you are free to take Wen Xueer back to the palace." Breaking through is also useless."

Shen Qingshu's heart skipped a beat: "Where do you think you will be sent?"

Princess Zhao'an frowned: "It's better if you find out that you have arrested the wrong person. If you don't find out, you'd better go to a brothel or something—hey, can you listen to me before you leave."

However, Shen Qingshu could no longer hear, Princess Zhao'an spun the wine glass boredly: "Lan Shenger, is there any newcomer in your Yunxian Pavilion?"

"I've never heard of it, besides," Lan Sheng'er covered her sleeves and smiled lightly, "If there is a newcomer, I'm afraid the princess will know about it before me."

"However," Princess Zhao'an's eyes flashed darkly, "I didn't like Qin Luoluo approaching King Jin before, at most it was suppressing him with words, but I didn't expect someone to be more ruthless than me. It really was jealousy. "

Relying on the token invited from King Jin, Shen Qingshu hastily passed through two or three famous brothels in the capital.

Fortunately, nothing was gained.Shen Qingshu's tense nerves relaxed a little.

We have to take the initiative.Shen Qingshu's eyes darkened.

Shen Qingshu's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he fixedly looked in the direction of a familiar figure passing by.

It's Shen Zi'an.It seems that there is also a girl who feels seductive just by looking at her back.

It turns out that he also has a friend here.Shen Qingshu narrowed his eyes slightly.

Knowing that there were more important things waiting for him to do, Shen Qingshu still followed him uncontrollably.

The night was dark, like inkstones blooming, and even the moonlight became faint.

Shen Qingshu deliberately followed with light footsteps, and saw Shen Zi'an going out from the side door, passing by a few dark brown trees with withered leaves.

The girl held by him seemed to be drunk, her footsteps were very unsteady, she was almost dragged away by Shen Zi'an.

Seeing him walking deeper and deeper into the backyard, Shen Qingshu thought that he was going to the Spring Festival for a while, so he stopped and didn't intend to follow any more.

However, the next scene made her freeze completely.

The scene of Shen Zi'an pushing that girl down the well without hesitation would give her nightmares for days.

Through the night, she vaguely saw that Shen Zi'an's expression was very calm.

That Shen Zi'an, who was drinking madly in Zuixianju and invited her to release the Kongming lantern with a smile, suddenly appeared in his mind.

Shen Qing's face paled in an instant, and he backed away slowly.

Or the rustling sound after stepping on fallen leaves, Shen Zi'an noticed something and seemed to turn around.

Shen Qingshu hid behind a big thick tree with lightning speed.

While holding her breath, she faintly heard the sound of someone coming out over the wall.

After waiting in the silence for a long time, Shen Qingshu dared to poke his head out.Suddenly, a hand was on her shoulder.

Shen Qingshu called out subconsciously.

"Book!"

Shen Qingshu immediately stopped speaking.

"What's the matter with you?" Shen Qingyue held her ear, "I heard that you were visiting a brothel, so I immediately came to arrest you. How come you have learned these tricks now?"

Shen Qing was stunned for a while, unable to speak.

"What's wrong with you?" Shen Qingyue let go of his hand.

Shen Qingshu thought for a while before saying a word: "I'm here to find Wen Xueer."

Shen Qingyue frowned: "Why is Wen Xueer in the brothel?"

Shen Qingshu's voice gradually weakened: "She's gone."

"King Duan?"

"It might as well be him."

Shen Qingyue pondered for a moment: "Yuan Yi is looking for you, I don't know if it has anything to do with this matter."

......

Boss Yuan ruthlessly threw a tied man on the ground: "He's the one, he opened the door."

Shen Qingshu's eyes were burning, and he said to the man: "If you don't tell me, I'll have someone cut your tendons."

Shen Qingyue looked at Shen Qingshu's eyes and couldn't hide his astonishment.

Why did my younger sister lose control when encountering matters related to Wen Xueer?

He really didn't understand.

The man looked flustered: "I, I... I was just collecting money to do something, and I agreed to open that door just because of my fascination."

Boss Yuan said angrily: "Can't you see that they are here for Luo Luo?"

"It's not that Qin Luoluo is sitting there, it's just...just a new Qin girl."

"That's the adopted daughter of the Shen family."

The man's face turned pale and he was speechless for a while.

Shen Qingshu took a deep breath: "Whose money did you take?"

"He came to me directly, and he also said that he would pay the remaining half of the money at the wine shop tomorrow."

Shen Qingshu and his brother exchanged glances.

"Brother, do you recognize some of the servants in charge of the Shangguan family, the Qing family, or the prime minister's Lin family?" On the way back, Shen Qingshu gradually sorted out his thoughts.

"How could I recognize them?" Shen Qing thought about it more, "Our maid may recognize them."

Shen Qingyue paused for a moment: "It seems that you know it well."

"Brother, you just need to take someone to the wine shop tomorrow to help me find out who is behind it. As for the others, someone will help me."

Shen Qingyue's first reaction was to deny it: "I can't let you mess around alone."

"If you come forward, I will not be able to handle things."

Shen Qingyue thought for a while before slowly nodding.

......

The nanny who delivered the water came again, but this time Wen Xueer stopped her: "Do you have any needles and threads?"

Mammy frowned: "Why are you so busy, girl?"

"I don't cry or make trouble, I just want needles and threads."

"doing what?"

"I owe my girl a sachet. Now that I'm so free, I might as well embroider some patterns on it."

Mammy had no choice but to bring it, but when she turned around, she muttered: "This girl has a brain problem."

On that day, after receiving the message from Shen Qingyue, Shen Qingshu appeared in Shen Zi'an's room the next moment.

"Ah—sister, why are you sitting here!" Shen Zi'an was sleepy at first, but suddenly woke up when he saw the figure beside the bed.

Was it really him who killed last night?A complicated meaning flashed across Shen Qingshu's eyes.

Why can I sleep so peacefully?

"Do me a favor and ask Lin Yue from the prime minister's mansion in your name."

Shen Zi'an yawned: "Isn't this Princess Zhunjin? I have never been involved with her, how can I make an appointment?"

"I heard that you have some friendship with the noble ladies in the capital. In addition, tell her something related to King Jin, and she will come out."

"Why can't you look for her openly? It's not something shameful."

Shen Qingshu looked at him calmly: "It is indeed for shameful things."

Shen Zi'an's eyes widened: "Could it be that you want to harm her?"

"It's possible."

"If I don't go, why use my name? Brother, can't he?"

Shen Qingshu's eyes darkened: "Baihualou, backyard, well."

Shen Zi'an's eyes suddenly became cold, and the ignorance just now seemed to be Shen Qingshu's hallucination.

"Do you want to report to the police?"

"Why should I report to the police?"

Shen Zi'an actually smiled: "Sister, I'll ask Lin Yue out for you."

At this moment, Shen Zi'an was so well-behaved that Shen Qingshu felt the urge to pat his head.

Shen Qingshu also smiled: "Why did you do this?"

Shen Zi'an regained his calm expression, gritted his teeth and said, "How dare that woman slander Qin Luoluo, saying that she deliberately approached King Jin in order to cling to the powerful, and that she is a bitch."

It's over, the author never said that this is a male third, maybe the secret will be revealed later?

However, if Shen Qingshu hadn't caught the flicker of Shen Zi'an's eyebrows and eyes, she would have almost believed these words.

He is lying.

However, now is not the time to dwell on it.Shen Qingshu got up slowly: "Then we have agreed."

Shen Zi'an nodded.

After walking a few steps, Shen Qingshu looked back at him again: "Are you going to kill me too?"

"How come, you are my sister." Shen Zi'an smiled frankly.

When Shen Qingshu turned around, an unknown smile appeared on his face.

After experiencing the incident with Prince Duan, she was no longer willing to drag Shen Qingyue into trouble.And this strange "brother" takes what he needs, so he feels more at ease.

"Shen Zi'an, what are you doing blindfolded?" Lin Yue was shuffled into the cabin.

When a cold short knife was placed on her neck, her face turned pale, and she immediately fell silent.

"Shen Zi'an was also coerced by me," Shen Qingshu said in a cold tone, "Do you know that you arrested the wrong person? Bring Wen Xueer back."

"It's none of my business. I know that after arresting the wrong person, let them figure it out. I don't know where she is now."

There was a bloodstain on Lin Yue's neck.

"Cangshan on the outskirts of the city."

Shen Qingshu put down the dagger, looked at the figure standing quietly outside the cabin: "Prince Jin——you owe a lot to me."
