Oops, the male villain looked at me with affection in his eyes

The first rooster crow sounded in the morning, and a woman in pink clothes walked out of a dilapidated house in a back alley in the west of the city.

Zong Guohui gathered up her pink dress and looked straight ahead, her eyes filled with coldness.

Yesterday, when Zong Pinghui came back, he was dragged to the main room by Zong Guoyan. He started crying and scolded himself, but he couldn't even say a word.

She tightly clutched the landscape jade pendant in her hand: it didn't look like much, but it felt strangely comfortable. It might be worth a few bucks, so she needed to exchange it for some silver first.

Arriving at the largest pawn shop in the city, she looked at the towering turret, bit her lip, and entered the building.

The waiter was cleaning the house when he saw a customer coming to the door early in the morning. He hurriedly ran to greet him: "Sir, do you need anything?"

Zong Guohui glanced at the waiter and said calmly: "Tell your shopkeeper to come out."

The waiter took a look at Zong Guohui's outfit, and attentively led her to sit down at the table, then went to the back room.

After a while, an old man about fifty years old came slowly.

The old man looked at Zong Guohui at the table and said calmly: "I wonder what important business this guest guest has with me?"

Zong Guohui stretched out his hand and exposed the jade pendant in the veil.

"Can you please give me Zhang Zhang's eyes?"

The old man carefully took the landscape jade pendant and looked at it carefully in his hand.

After seeing clearly the fine texture of the jade pendant, the old man looked at Zong Guohui, then walked to a bright light and shined the jade pendant under the light.

Zong Guohui followed the old man step by step and asked softly: "How is it?"

The old man nodded: "It's a fine Hetian jade pendant. I don't know if the girl will die or live."

Zong Guohui raised his eyes, looked at the old man and asked, "What do you mean by death? What do you mean by living?"

The old man looked at Zong Guohui and said: "This is the number to die."

He held up a finger.

Zong Guohui looked at the old man's gesture and bit his lip: Is one hundred taels too little?

Seeing that Zong Guohui didn't seem to understand, the old man added: "One thousand taels."

Zong Guohui's eyes couldn't help but light up when she heard the sound. She snatched the landscape jade pendant and looked at it greedily.

Looking at it so white and clean, how can you tell that it is worth a thousand taels of silver?

She rolled her eyes and asked, "What if it's a living thing?"

The old man smiled lightly and said: "The salary will be reduced by half, and the silver will be five hundred taels."

Zong Guohui rubbed the jade pendant in his hand and said slowly: "It's a good job. When I have more money in the future, I will pay to redeem it."

The old man smiled and nodded.

After completing all the procedures, Zong Guohui took the banknote and slowly walked out of the pawn shop.

People were coming and going on the street. Zong Guohui held five hundred taels of silver notes in his arms and felt the sunshine was so warm.

She went to the clothing store to pick out two suitable dresses, and bought two boxes of rouge that she was reluctant to use. She happily headed towards Xufuxing.

Last time my dress was broken, I borrowed ten taels of silver from my little sister Zheng Chun. Now that I had it, I went to pay it back.

Turning the corner, from a distance, I saw Zheng Chun leading the little maid Dong'er towards me.

Dong'er happily looked at the pearl flowers in Zheng Chun's hair and said, "Miss, these pearl flowers are so beautiful. Your skin is as white as snow, making you even more beautiful."

Zheng Chun glanced at Dong'er angrily and said calmly: "Is this good-looking? If it weren't for the lack of money, the pomegranate red one just took advantage of her skin."

Dong'er said angrily: "The young lady also said that Zong Guohui is nothing. She only met him a few times and asked to borrow money. But how long has it been and has not paid back the money? Not even a person has been seen." "

Zheng Chun said with a smile: "I just felt soft-hearted for a moment. It's okay for me to be ugly, but I don't even have a decent dress. Do you think I'm pitiful?"

Dong'er covered her mouth and smiled: "Poor, so pitiful."

The two walked over chatting and laughing, but no one noticed that at the corner of the street, Zong Guohui's eyes were red with anger.

She looked at the two boxes of rouge in her hand and returned one box when she returned to the rouge shop.

Taking the returned broken silver, she sneered and turned around and entered the small bookstore on the street.

The people of Tiansheng are open-minded, and there are all kinds of painting books in the small bookstore. There are even many bosses who add the content of the painting books according to the customer's preferences for just a few taels of money.

After a while, Zong Guohui walked out satisfied.

If the prince wants to get ahead and climb to the Duke's palace, he must be pulled down from the altar first.

She looked in the direction of Xu Mansion, sneered lightly, and returned to her home in the west of the city, carrying the newly bought clothes.

At the same time, in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Chunying held Fuchen in her hand and her high-pitched voice sounded melodiously.

"If there is a starting point, I will withdraw from the court if nothing happens!"

Shen Lanqing caressed her injured arm, stepped forward, and said loudly: "Father, my son Shen Lankang, Prince Shenrui, has corrupted his personal morals and indulged in sexual pleasures that resulted in death."

The list of names in the mansion was lost, and Shen Lanqing waited in fear for a few days. Seeing that Shen Lankang didn't make any move, she thought that the guy was having fun and delayed his business, so if he had to knock him down first, he would be caught off guard.

If Shen Lankang comes up with the list in the future, he will have a countermeasure.

When Prince Shen Lanzhong heard this, he looked at Shen Lanqing who was kneeling on the ground and said calmly: "Is Prince Gong suffering from hysteria? He wants to report the prince's younger brother in court?"

Shen Lanqing raised his injured arm and said indifferently: "The prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people. That Shen Lankang was lawless and secretly took the prisoner's daughter from the Jiaofang Division and returned home to molest her to death."

After hearing this, Shen Yuanchang was furious: "You bastard, who gave him such courage? How dare you take away an official woman from the Jiaofang Division without Zhao?"

Shen Lande hurriedly knelt down together and said: "Father, although the seventh brother likes to play around, he also knows how to behave. I think the sixth brother made a mistake and this happened."

Shen Lance, who was watching coldly, took a step forward and said slowly: "Father, human life is at stake. I believe that my sixth brother will not unjustly accuse others."

Shen Yuanchang looked at his sons who were kneeling on the ground and said slowly: "Lao Liu, you tell the truth. If you tell the truth, I will take it from you."

Shen Lanqing knelt straight: "Yes, Father."

He looked at Shen Lande on the side with contempt and raised three fingers: "I swear, if there is even half a lie in this matter, I am willing to listen to my father's decision."

When Shen Lanzhong and Shen Lande heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

This little old man has actually found such a big basket this time. Who can save you? !

Shen Lande knelt forward and took a few steps: "Father, my seventh brother lost his mother when he was young and has developed a miserly temper. It is possible that he did something wrong in a moment. Please forgive him for the sake of my mother and concubine." This time."

Shen Yuanchang thought of the late Concubine Yu, but after all, he still couldn't bear to resign.

He waved his hand: "This matter will be left to Zongren Mansion's full authority..."

Shen Lanqing stepped forward and said: "Father, you said that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people when he breaks the law. You can't watch Shen Lankang make such mistakes again and again."

He took out a confession from his arms and raised his hands high above his head: "This is the confession of Pomegranate, the eldest maid in Prince Rui's palace. If the father doesn't believe it, the child can bring Pomegranate up and testify in court."

Shen Lance raised his hands indifferently: "Father, you have taught your children since they were young that there are no rules without rules, and now you want to break this rule for the seventh child?"

Chunying looked at Shen Lance, then at the emperor's relaxed eyes, and finally stepped forward to take the confession from Shen Lanqing.

Shen Yuanchang read it at a glance. He looked at his favorite son, Shen Lance, and finally said slowly: "This matter will be handled by Dali Temple under the supervision of Prime Minister Chu."

Chu Ye and Gong Zhi met and took a step forward: "I obey the order."

All the princes saluted: "My sons and ministers obey the decree."

Shen Yuanchang seemed to have aged ten years in an instant. He raised his hand tiredly: "Everyone, go down. Prime Minister Chu will stay."
