: Diverting trouble to the east

Within three days, all the prominent figures in Jincheng knew about it.

The life of the daughter of the richest man hangs by a thread.

Suddenly, the Du Mansion was full of people.

The dignitaries who came to visit "Sheng Jiao'e" kept coming from morning to night, and some even waited until half a month later. There were countless people who wanted to take advantage of the troubled waters.

Except for Sheng Fengxue, no one in the Du family looked very good-looking.

Du Wanquan had a headache due to the snowflakes of greetings every day. He didn't like having the attack in front of others, so he had already broken several sets of expensive tea cups at home.

Xu Xian was busy greeting the lady during the day without her feet touching the ground. She finally got some rest at night, and had to face Du Wanquan's old stinking face, being scolded every day.

She has regarded herself as the housewife for many years and has great fame in public, but she does not even dare to climb into the bed of the housekeeper at night.

Among them, the most irritable one is Du Jiao Niang.

After all, there is no airtight wall in this world. Even if they try their best to hide the bad things about the Du family, some news will still leak out accidentally.

If others don’t dare to say it to your face, why don’t they dare to talk behind your back?

Those bold and high-status official ladies would often surround Du Jiaoniang and ask her about Sheng Jiao'e.

Du Jiaoniang was so pissed off!

But since ancient times, officials have been greater than the people. Although the Du family is the richest man in Jincheng, they have some interactions and involvements with officials, but these are all private and secretive. Du Jiaoniang does not dare to show off publicly.

I can only swallow my anger every day with a smiling face, and then turn around and vent my anger on the maid and the boy.

Du Jiaoniang's hatred for Sheng Fengxue grew day by day. The more people came to inquire about Sheng Jiao'e, and the more young masters from aristocratic families showed admiration for Sheng Jiao'e, the more Du Jiaoniang hated Sheng Fengxue.

Now there were hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at Sheng Fengxue, both openly and secretly. Even if Du Jiaoniang wanted to cut her sister into pieces with a thousand knives, she would not dare to do it rashly.

She and Xu Xian both suspected that this was the work of "Sheng Jiao'e", but when they thought of Sheng Jiao'e's frail body and timid and cowardly temperament, they could no longer doubt it.

After all, since Sheng Fengxue woke up, she has not left the boudoir for half a step, and she has not seen anyone except the Du family.

As for Du Jinyu, he enjoys being surrounded by a group of warblers and swallows every day and doesn't miss Shu.

About half a month later, His Royal Highness, who had heard the news long ago, finally couldn't sit still and sneaked into Du Mansion while there were few people around.

Huan Rizhu wanted to be the king of a country and had been planning for many years. He had long secretly wanted to kick the emperor's stepfather off the throne.

If you want to rebel, you must recruit troops.

If you want to recruit soldiers and horses, you have to spend money.

The Du family is not only rich, but also has a century-old family behind it - the Sheng family.

He has reached a secret agreement with Du Wanquan. If he can be crowned Dabao in the future, he will make the Du family the richest man in the country.

Du Wanquan is the son-in-law of the Sheng family. Sheng Jiao'e's mother died early and gave birth to Sheng Jiao'e.

The Sheng family is very small. If you can marry Sheng Jiao'e, it will be like holding half of the Sheng family's property in your hands.

One evening when the snow stopped, Huan Rizhu finally followed Sheng Fengxue's plan and came to the pavilion outside Sheng Jiao'e's boudoir.

Unmarried women are not allowed to have private meetings with men alone. If they are found, they will be served by the family, and they will be plunged into a pig cage. If the circumstances are serious, they may be beheaded in public.

In order not to tarnish Sheng Jiao'e's good name, and to show off his noble character, Huan Rizhu chose to meet "Sheng Jiao'e" in this pavilion that is ventilated on all sides, cool in winter and warm in summer.

At this point, Sheng Fengxue finally met Du Jiaoniang, who had longed for His Highness the Crown Prince whom she wanted to marry.

A young man of seventeen or eighteen years old, round and round, wearing a satin robe with dark patterns, piping with gold threads, embroidered with a dragon soaring into the clouds, his long black hair tied with warm jade fat, and a wave of his wide sleeves, which is beyond words.

He was full of energy and rebuked Fang Qiu.

Sheng Fengxue was supported by the maid and saluted, and then she sat silently at the edge to warm herself by the fire. She looked at the man in front of her with great disappointment.

Not even one ten thousandth as good as her paper figurine husband.

Although he has the face of a young man, he has a frailty that is obviously not suitable for his age. The whole face is pale and pale, which is similar to Du Jinyu.

The boss who asked her to work overtime for free had been acting like this for a long time. At first, she thought it was just because the boss was in poor health. It wasn't until recently that the boss secretly introduced her to work as a third-person, and that's when she found out.

It turns out that there is no lower limit to a man’s scum!

The landlady has already given birth to two daughters and a son for him, and he still wants to go out and have sex.

I was planning to resign at the end of the month, but I ended up here out of nowhere.

Sheng Fengxue sighed.

Everyone who was chatting away turned their heads when they heard her sigh.

Du Wanquan frowned, Xu Xian and her daughter looked at Sheng Fengxue in fear. Du Jinyu didn't even refill the wine for His Highness the Crown Prince, and turned to look over.

"elder sister."

Du Jiaoniang, who was closest to His Highness the Crown Prince, stood up first and shouted. Then with a worried look on her face, she deliberately twisted her waist in front of Huan Rizhu and walked towards Sheng Fengxue with three unsteady steps, pretending

He asked with sensible concern: "But, what's wrong?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was just talking to Du Wanquan about how to govern the country. Du Jiaoniang said this, obviously because she wanted Huan Rizhu to misunderstand what Sheng Fengxue had to say to him.

Sheng Fengxue ignored Du Jiaoniang, who wanted to start a fight, and signaled the maid to help her up. When she stood still, she saluted Huan Rizhu again, and then spoke softly.

"Jiao'e's body is not very healthy. She accidentally injured her leg a few days ago. Now it is less than five months before His Highness chooses his concubine. I hope Your Highness will forgive me. Jiao'e's life is not good. I'm afraid she won't be able to bear the fate of Your Highness.

kindness."

I have already read it by heart and recited it, and now I can pick it up at my fingertips.

Hearing the sincere words and the look of Sheng Fengxue on the verge of tears, Huan Rizhu's expression changed several times, and then he turned to look at Du Wanquan.

Du Wanquan didn't expect that his always timid daughter would come up with this trick. He was stunned and hurriedly stood up. Without any time to think about it, he bowed and said, "Jiao'e has not been in good health since she was a child. It's just a matter of course.

Her mother who died young, haha..."

He couldn't take the next words any longer, so he could only stand there and laugh with him.

Sheng Fengxue wanted to express too much with her words, and they could be misinterpreted if she was not careful. Du Jiaoniang wanted to speak, but Xu Xian blocked her with a look.

The marriage between Sheng Jiao'e and Huan Rizhu was apparently going to go through a concubine selection ceremony, but in fact, it was considered a marriage decreed by the emperor, and the concubine selection ceremony was just a formality.

In order to marry their long-cherished favorite, Sheng Jiao'e, the most beautiful woman in Jincheng, Huan Rizhu almost fell out with the emperor's stepfather. If it weren't for the old relationship, how could the emperor agree to this marriage so easily?

Huan Rizhu, a master of great achievements, really doesn't have that ability, but his excessive momentum has long aroused the dissatisfaction of His Majesty the Emperor.

Sheng Jiao'e was accidentally injured, which originally ruined the progress of his rebellion. Now that he sees her in such a weak state, the more Sheng Fengxue takes the blame, the more Huan Rizhu will feel that Du Fu is not doing things well.

In addition, the two had many disagreements before, and the friction was increasing day by day. Huan Il-soo had long been looking for an opportunity to teach this disobedient dog slave a lesson!
