Chapter 2024: Slag Elimination (2)

Yanran and Sister Juhua hit it off immediately, and after chatting for a while, they talked about everything as if they were old friends for more than ten years. When Yanran said she wanted to find a job in a rouge shop, Sister Juhua readily agreed to open a rouge shop. , and left it to Yanran to take care of.

Although Yanran is skilled in making spices or rouge, she does not have the money to open her own shop. If she goes to work for others in a shop she is not familiar with, she is a young daughter with such neat and beautiful hair, so she is worried that she will meet someone with evil intentions. The boss or the waiter, now Sister Juhua has dispelled all her worries with just one word. She suddenly became happy and was extremely grateful to Sister Juhua.

Seeing Sister Juhua taking such good care of her, I felt relieved. Early the next morning, I said goodbye to Sister Juhua and her family, planning to return to Tongzhou to deal with the matter of Princess Chaoqing.

Sister Juhua didn't try to persuade me to stay. She only said to me with a smile while carrying someone behind her back: "Sister is a careless person. I don't know if she can take good care of your Yanran. You'd better report it to your family as soon as possible and marry her back as soon as possible to avoid leaving her behind." What's wrong with me?"

I was startled for a moment, then argued, "Sister, I misunderstood. I just saw Miss Yanran as pitiful and helped her casually. I had no intention of marrying her."

"Really?"

Sister Juhua looked at me, smiled narrowly, and said, "Although sister is not an agitated person, your eyes are already on others. A blind person can see your thoughts, so why don't you dare to admit it!"

Did my eyes get on her?

Thinking back to my performance yesterday, I felt so embarrassed, it seemed...that was indeed the case!

However, so far, I am still not sure of my thoughts. After all, choosing the person to spend your life with is not a trivial matter. I don’t want to make a decision so easily, and Yanran is still young. I will consider this in a year or two. It’s not too late to ask questions!

When I returned to Tongzhou, it was already afternoon. I found a decent-looking restaurant to have dinner, planning to go to Dong's house tonight to "greet" me. While eating, I unexpectedly heard a shocking news.

Yesterday, Princess Chaoqing and her consort were thrown into jail by Master Yin of Tongzhou Prefecture. I heard that it was because Princess Chaoqing paid for the murder, and there were other cases involved.

The news has spread to everyone, and people all over the street are talking about it.

I hurriedly called the waiter, gave him a tael of silver, and asked him about the matter. The waiter took the silver, thanked him profusely, and said with joy, "Master, this is absolutely true. The villain's brother is working as an errand in the Yamen, and they went to Dong's house in person yesterday morning."

Because of the one tael of silver, the waiter told me in detail, even some inside information that outsiders didn't know.

"I heard from my brother that our Majesty and the Queen were on a private patrol here incognito. The night before, we met some thugs who had their arms and legs chopped off on the road. After careful questioning, we found out that it was Princess Chaoqing who paid for the murder. If he failed, he would be maimed instead. His Majesty was angry that Princess Chaoqing was acting lawlessly and committed suicide without permission. So he went to Tongzhou Fuyin's government office and gave Fuyin a secret order to capture Princess Chaoqing. Husband and wife, they were sent to Beijing to be punished. They haven't set off yet, and they are still detained in the prison..."

It turns out that it was my sister and brother-in-law who did it, which saved me a lot of trouble. Otherwise, I would inevitably go on a killing spree at the Dong family tonight...
