Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again

"What does it matter if you show off your skills? You still can't climb up to the big tree of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"That's not true. I heard that Yang Mingxue hanged herself to protest the marriage and was finally rescued. It's ok for a girl to be unruly, but she also made her parents and friends worry. It's obvious that she is not a good person."

"Well, that's not entirely true. We can't blame Yang Mingxue alone for this. To be disrespectful, that guy has delayed the girl for so many years. Even if the girl is not worthy of the position of the principal wife, it's good to give her a concubine. After all, it's the affection we have had for so many years, right?"

"That makes sense."

Chen had just recovered from her illness a few days ago, and Xu Xingyin didn't want Chen to work too hard, so naturally he could only help Chen take on some of the responsibilities of entertaining guests.

Just as we arrived at the banquet, a few young girls gathered together and excitedly discussed Yang Mingxue's marriage.

Hearing these familiar names, Xu Xingyin suddenly realized that he had stayed in the mansion for more than a month without going out, so hearing these names seemed a little strange.

She didn't even thank Jing Zhichen when they parted in a hurry last time. If he hadn't taken the initiative to give her the account book of Soul-Devouring Powder, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly afterwards.

I don't know if I overstepped the boundaries when I was drunk last time, but I don't think I did anything too outrageous, right?

Otherwise, with Jing Zhichen's personality, I wouldn't have been alive until today.

Is Yang Mingxue married?

Well, considering her age, she is about the same, it's a pity that she is so infatuated with him.

Come to think of it, it is not easy for a cold-hearted man like Jing Zhichen to spend so many years on her, so how can she ask for too much?

Thinking of this, Xu Xingyin felt a little uncomfortable. This world is always too harsh on women and too tolerant on men.

The girls were probably chatting so happily that they didn't even notice Xu Xingyin approaching them, so Xu Xingyin had to cough twice as a reminder.

One of the girls finally reacted, and after a moment of silence, she smiled and nodded, "Miss Xu Qi."

Xu Xingyin also smiled back, said a few polite words of thanks, and then deliberately lowered his voice.

"Although these are hot topics right now, after all, walls have ears, so it may not be appropriate to discuss them here. Matters involving the royal family will always attract attention."

The kind advice made the girls smile knowingly, and they had a better impression of the notorious Seventh Miss of the Xu family.

"exactly."

Mrs. Shen was more and more satisfied with Xu Xingyin's actions. She thought he was sensible, intelligent and docile, and was indeed a good candidate for her daughter-in-law.

When Chen saw Mrs. Shen's expression, she knew that the matter was mostly settled. She happily chatted with Mrs. Shen about other things, and finally naturally invited Mrs. Shen to sit in her yard later.

This is the routine that all the ladies from aristocratic families use when they meet each other. Mrs. Shen naturally understood it, so she smiled and agreed.

To such occasions, Chen would not bring Xu Xingyin with him.

Xu Xingyin didn't care much about this matter. He just felt that Chen was obviously in a good mood from then on, and even her steps were light.

Xu Xingyin had been in the mansion for more than a month and had become a little impatient. Seeing that Chen had recovered, he found an excuse and went to Shuntian Prefecture.

Although they hadn't seen each other for more than a month, they didn't seem to be strangers to each other. When they got together, they naturally talked about Tian Zitao's case.

After Jing Zhichen's coming-of-age ceremony and general amnesty, Lai Xiangyan spent all his savings and bought a small house in the west of the city to live in.

He seldom went out and made a living by running a small private school in the front yard. Most of his former colleagues no longer interacted with him, so it was difficult for others to find fault with him.

In order to save money, Lai Xiangyan did not hire any other servants in his house except for a personal servant, and lived together with his next-door neighbor.

Three meals a day were delivered to him, and silver was paid once a month.

As for other housework, they were all taken care of by the servant.

What’s interesting is that the next-door neighbor was a widow, and as a result, some unpleasant rumors began to spread among the people.

Lai Xiangyan rushed to the door to confront them, but those flowery words were no match for the vulgar words spoken by the common people. Lai Xiangyan was so angry that his beard stood on end.

Apart from this, there seemed to be nothing new to say. The people sent by Song Tuiguan to keep watch were so boring that they were almost falling asleep.

The news was neither important nor itchy and everyone just laughed at it. They said a few more words, "A widow is always surrounded by trouble," and then let it go.

……

When Xu Xingyin returned to the Duke's Mansion from Shuntian Prefecture, he saw that Chen's face was full of joy, and even Madam Gu, who usually didn't joke, smiled a little.

After asking carefully, I found out that Chen and Madam Shen had basically reached an agreement. The one they decided on was not the eldest son of the Shen family, whom Chen had taken a fancy to, but the second son, who was the apple of Madam Shen's eye.

"Although this eldest son has a bright future, he is busy all year round and may not be considerate. If you marry him, you will have to worry about managing the household affairs and you won't be able to relax at all.

The second young master is very much loved by the elders in the family and has a capable brother to help him. He can take care of the family and have a decent job at the same time.

If you marry him, you won't have to worry about trivial matters as a clan wife, and you'll have your husband by your side. Wouldn't your life be as sweet as honey?"

When Chen said this, she felt more and more satisfied, and kept telling Xu Xingyin about the good points of Shen Er.

Xu Xingyin listened with one ear and out the other for the entire afternoon, but matters of marriage were not something that the younger generation like them could have any say in.

So he could only vent all his resentment on the Shen family, to the point that he felt upset when he heard the word "Shen".

Xu Xingyin was nagging by Chen for a few more days. Just before her ears were about to get calluses, she finally got a life-saving talisman.

Zeng Tingxue sent an invitation to Xu Xingyin, saying it was her birthday party, so she invited a few sisters she knew to get together.

After all, Zeng Tingxue saved Xu Xingyin's life, so she should have gone to express her gratitude long ago.

But it is not her fault that she has been delayed until now because she was busy investigating the case.

Now Zeng Tingxue took the initiative to hand over the invitation, saying that she also wanted to make this trip.

Xu Xingyin reported the matter truthfully to Chen. Chen, who always emphasized "morality", naturally supported this matter. Besides, Xu Xingyin had just returned to Beijing and didn't have many friends, so it would be good for him to go out and make more friends.

The mother and daughter agreed, and the matter was settled.

Chen opened a private vault and gave Xu Xingyin a lot of money, telling her not to be stingy and to choose things carefully.

Hearing that he could go out, Xu Xingyin became more energetic and happily took Danfeng out. However, he unexpectedly ran into a...

Good show.
