The end of the month was coming soon, and the old lady sent two capable stewards to pick up her.

Because the case of the premature birth of the crown princess has been unraveled, the second prince and his mother's family are the masterminds behind the scenes. Although the second prince strongly denied that he knew anything about it, he was still demoted by the emperor as a commoner and sent to the imperial mausoleum under house arrest for life. The family of the second prince and concubine was imprisoned for a few days.

Then the Yangzhou salt tax case broke out. The amount of tax money embezzled by Yangzhou officials was more than 30 million taels, which was equivalent to the national treasury for ten years. The emperor was furious at the time, and ordered the Dragon Scale Guard to take over the case and investigate it to the end. Those who should be punished should be punished, those who should be beheaded should be beheaded, those who should be dismissed should be dismissed, and no extrajudicial expressions are allowed.

At the end of the month, it was the time when everyone was in danger. Not to mention that the gates of the major families were closed, and there were even fewer pedestrians on the road. Only Caishikou is very lively, and several heads can be swept out every day, and countless prisoners are detained in the Dragon Scale Guard Station, undergoing inhuman torture and torture.

You can imagine how busy Yu Pinyan is. Such trivial matters as Shen Miaoqi returning home did not leave an imprint on his heart at all, and he went out for business early in the morning.

Seeing that it was almost time, the old lady went to the ceremonial gate to greet her in person. Seeing that Yu Xiang had already been waiting outside, and she had also burned a brazier to eliminate bad luck, she felt very satisfied. That’s right, with Shen Miaoqi’s fate, before entering the door, one must go to avoid bad luck and avoid evil spirits.

Lin Shi hurried over and kept straightening her forehead and pulling her skirt, looking very nervous, and then waved and sent Mammy Jin to look outside the gate.

"Come, come, Miss is back!" Jin mama hurried over with her skirt, followed by a large group of sturdy girls carrying boxes and cages.

Shen Miaoqi held the flowing cloud bun, pinned the silky golden phoenix hairpin, and wore a palace satin and plain snow-draped long dress, followed step by step with the warm spring breeze and the fluttering petals. Tiancheng.

However, in just half a month, she had faded away from the humbleness of a businesswoman's philistine and servant girl, and became a real lady.

Not only Lin shi was ecstatic, but even the old lady couldn't help nodding. This is how it finally gets to the stage.

Shen Miaoqi searched the crowd with her water eyes, skipped Yu Siyu who had a bright smile on her face, and looked straight at the girl in the wheelchair, the string called jealousy in her heart suddenly stretched to the extreme, and it looked like it was about to break.

She secretly and secretly inquired about Yu Xiang's situation with Qin mama, but she only knew that she had a broken leg at the age of ten. Very pleasing to the old lady and Yu Pinyan.

She originally thought that the other party and herself were only equal to each other, maybe even slightly inferior, because she was a beautiful embryo since she was a child, and she could attract countless amazing eyes wherever she went. However, when she saw the real Yu Xiang, she realized that Qin mama could not help but say the word 'beautiful'? The compliment, but the helpless act of not being able to think of a more appropriate adjective.

I saw the girl reclining lazily on the wheelchair, with one hand on her knee and one hand on her cheek, her beautiful black and white eyes were squinting, and there was a divine light that was brighter and brighter than the spring day. . Her skin is as white as snow, and her eyebrows are not the curvy willow leaf eyebrows that are popular nowadays, but thick and black sword eyebrows. She is pretty and bright, but also reveals a heroic and domineering arrogance that belongs only to men.

How can she be described as beautiful? But it was so beautiful, so flamboyant, so beautiful that there was nowhere to hide, so Shen Miaoqi felt breathless just by looking at it.

Yu Xiang was Shen Miaoqi's identified enemy, and she would unconsciously compare everything she had with Yu Xiang, and then decide whether to win or lose. She originally thought that she was no worse than Yu Xiang, especially after half a month of hard training, but after seeing the real person, she realized that even if Yu Xiang could not walk, she would not be able to support her noble family at all. female aura.

She only raised her eyebrows slightly, raised her chin, and her simple movements brought out 120,000 arrogance.

Shen Miaoqi did not dare to take a second look, her heart was confused and her steps were also messy. Getting closer and closer to the brazier, she took deep breaths trying to regain her composure.

At this moment, a servant's voice came from the door.

Shen Miaoqi looked back and saw Yu Pinyan walked in with a blank face, holding an embroidered spring knife in his hand, wearing a crimson official robe, the hem seemed to be stained with a lot of liquid, dyeing the already strong crimson red Ink color, the liquid was very thick, and as he walked, it slipped from the cloth drop by drop.

A gentle breeze blew, not the fragrance of blooming flowers, but a disgusting fishy smell.

Shen Miaoqi saw clearly the series of bright red dots dotted on the bluestone slab and realized that the hem of his clothes was not stained with water, but blood. How many people must be killed to bring out such a strong smell of blood? Can you dye all the heavy fabrics wet?

Shen Miaoqi seemed to have returned to the dark dungeon of the Dragon Scale Guard House, her legs and feet could not help softening.

At that time, she had already reached the door, and Mammy Jin kindly reminded, "Miss, it's time to cross the brazier."

Shen Miaoqi raised her foot reflexively, but she stepped into the red-hot charcoal because she was unsteady and jumped away with a scream. A few sparks splattered on the hem of her long skirt, burning black holes at once.

Yu Pinyan walked over to her, bent over and picked up her sister who was dressed up, and reached out to brush her hair that was ruffled by the wind.

"Brother, there is blood on your face." Yu Xiang took out a handkerchief and wiped it for him.

After the bloodstain dries up, it sticks tightly to the skin, and it is very difficult to clean up. Yu Xiang squinted and snickered, smeared the blood spot with her fingertips wet, and then gently wiped it off.

Yu Pinyan did not dislike it at all, his eyes lingered on her delicate red lips for a long time, and then he looked at Shen Miaoqi who was frantically flapping her skirt and looked embarrassed.

The spark soon went out, and the old lady shouted, "What are you panicking about? What is it called? Even the smallest things are so scary! Why don't you take the young lady to change clothes!"

Lin shed tears in distress, and hurriedly hugged her frightened daughter back to her room.

The old lady brushed away the smoke and dust flying from her nose, and sighed while looking at the overturned brazier. Sure enough, it is the Lone Star, a brazier can dispel the bad luck that she carries.

Thinking of this, she pointed to Wanqiu and ordered, "Go and tell Miao Qi, let her take a bath with grapefruit leaves and come to see me in the front hall."

Late Qiu promised in a low voice and hurried off.

"Yan'er, hurry up and wash it too, look at this outfit." The impatience in the old lady's tone was replaced by distress. Recently, two major cases have fallen on the grandson's head. Seeing the torture and murder of the sky, it is really a sin. If Junjie hadn't gone early, leaving behind the old and weak women and children and a group of uncles like wolves, how could the grandson have embarked on this difficult and dangerous road.

Yu Pinyan nodded, and took his sister away by the way.

In the simple and elegant room, Yu Xiang was half seated on the soft couch, playing with a snuff bottle in his hand, but his eyes dipped straight to the back of the steaming screen.

Liu Lu stood outside the door and dared not go in, as anxious as a cat scratching. How can there be a reason for the elder brother to take a bath and the younger sister to stay in the inner room? But these two brothers and sisters never knew how to avoid taboos. It was only when they were young. Now that they are getting older, it is not a serious matter. This habit has to be changed. Change it immediately, otherwise how will the master marry in the future?

As soon as he stepped out of one foot, he stepped on the blood-soaked official robe, and the blood quickly climbed up the toe of the shoe along the fabric. The dark red color looked very scary. Liu Lu shivered and quickly retracted, holding his forehead to look. To Taohong, who was standing not far away, she sighed secretly: It's good to be a fool, there is no trouble at all.

There is a rushing sound of water behind the screen, less? , The handsome young man came out with wet hair on his head, a black brocade robe around his body, only a jade belt tied around his waist, and his clothes were wide open, revealing a strong chest and a few strong abdominal muscles. Her tanned skin was shimmering with water, and she looked extremely sexy.

Yu Xiang's ears were hot, but his eyes were glued to the young man's body and couldn't be removed. When he heard a hoarse and thick low laugh, he realized that his fingertips had poked into his hard abdominal muscles and were walking along the texture of the texture.

The tips of her ears blushed instantly.

Yu Pinyan naturally held her little hand and slowly brought it up, finally covering it on his generous chest, making her feel more anxious and eager day by day.

The beating of her heart was very fast, but it was also very calm, thump, thump, like a small hammer hitting her palm, Yu Xiang felt that her palm was not on the skin, but on the charcoal, the temperature was hot amazing.

She moved her fingertips and wanted to withdraw her hand, but the young man first let go of the big palm that was pressing on the back of her hand and handed over a cloth towel, "Wipe my hair."

The charming atmosphere shattered like bubbles, Yu Xiang blinked in a trance, then picked up the handkerchief and wiped it gently, then lay on his brother's back as attached as before, sniffing the sandalwood fragrance in his hair.

The two of them didn't speak, and their rapid heartbeats returned to normal in the silence. Yu Xiang chuckled slyly, and wrapped her slender arms around the young man's neck, and asked, "Brother, if my sister and I fall into the water at the same time, who will you save first?"

What is the problem? Jealous? Yu Pin didn't answer, and laughed lowly to himself. The arms around his neck tightened more and more, as if to warn him that he would be ruthless if he didn't give a satisfactory answer quickly.

Yu Pinyan stretched out his arms and pulled his sister into his arms from behind, tapped the tip of her nose and said, "Of course it's to save you."

"Then if I fall into the water with my mother at the same time, who will you save first?" Yu Xiang approached and stared at him.

"Naturally, I'll save you." Yu Pinyan replied quickly, with a happy light flashing in his eyes. He loves Xiang Er who makes no secret of his possessiveness.

"If it were me and..." Realizing that she was not suitable to be compared with her ancestors, she made it clear that she was embarrassing her brother. She omitted the unfinished words and hugged her brother's thin waist and smiled contentedly.

Yu Pinyan pressed her hard into his arms and sighed silently.
