I Am This Type of Woman

Chapter 123 Don't Know (1)

"I have no idea."

The room was quiet for a while, Shi Jin's expression was as calm as usual, "I've asked people, but no one knows who Rong Xia is betrothed to, maybe..." Shi Jin turned his head away from Shi Feixian's gaze, "Maybe It’s unknown if you’re not from the capital.”

Although most of the famous families in Daye gather in the capital, it doesn't mean that only the capital has the famous families.

"Really?" Shi Feixian looked at Shi Jin, Shi Jin lowered his head and poured two cups of tea, one for Shi Feixian and one for himself.

"Sorry, I couldn't help you."

"No, I was in a hurry." Shi Feixian took a sip of tea, the tea was a little cold, extinguishing the impulse in her heart, "Brother, thank you."

Shi Jin shook his head, "There is no need to be so polite between you and me."

Shi Feixian forced a smile, and held the teacup tightly in his palm.

Shi Jin returned to his yard, waved away the servants in the house, picked up the Buddhist scriptures on the bookshelf, and recited them over and over again. After half an hour passed, he threw the Buddhist scriptures in his hand on the table and closed his eyes.

"My lord, Master Xiang is looking for you." The boy's voice sounded from outside.

Shi Jin rubbed his forehead, got up and said, "I'll be there right away."

Seeing Shi Jin come in, Shi Chonghai waited for him to salute, and said to him, "Sit down and talk."

Seeing his father's serious expression, Shi Jin said, "Father, what happened?"

"The assassination of Princess Dachang has been clarified. The mastermind behind the scenes is King Hui. Over the years, King Hui has harbored resentment towards His Majesty and sent spies to infiltrate the palace. Shi Chonghai passed the information found in Dali Temple to Shi Jin, "Take a look."

"Father, since he has endured it for so long, why did he suddenly decide to assassinate His Majesty?" Shi Jin roughly glanced at the information, a little puzzled, "This is not the best time, since King Hui has endured it for so long, Why don't you want to wait a little longer?"

"Because he can't wait any longer," Shi Chonghai sneered, "King Hui is seriously ill, and he is at the end of his battle. People who are about to die are always crazy. Proclaiming the emperor is his lifelong obsession. If he doesn't let go, he will die." Will not be reconciled until death."

"But...if the assassination fails, how can His Majesty let Hui Wang's family go?" Shi Jin thought of the eldest princess who died because of this incident, and felt a little pity in his heart. Hui Wang's delusion hurt his family, and it was also a pity. Killed the eldest princess.

How innocent is the eldest princess, to be implicated in this matter?

"A man wants to do big things, so naturally he can't look forward and backward, the benevolence of a woman," Shi Chonghai snorted coldly, "King Hui has the courage, but he doesn't have the luck and strength. It's his own fault for falling into this situation."

"But there seems to be no movement in Prince Hui's Mansion." Shi Jin frowned, "What is Your Majesty's plan?"

"You will understand in a few days," Shi Chonghai said lightly, "From today onwards, you must no longer have anything to do with people in Prince Hui's Mansion."

"Yes." Shi Jin hesitated for a moment, then said to Shi Chonghai, "Father, the Xie family..."

"Don't worry about them," Shi Chonghai sneered disdainfully, "This family can play a good hand of cards to this extent, so it can be seen that they are not strong opponents."

If Xie Jia Erlang married Princess Fule, he should not be underestimated, but he eloped with a prostitute and offended the Ban family, which is undoubtedly seeking his own death.

Although the Ban family seems to have no real power, the status of this family is very detached, but anyone with a little brain knows that even if they disapprove of this family in their hearts, they must not show half of it on the surface, otherwise it will be slapping the face of the royal family.

At that time, that Shen Yu won the prize, had a great reputation in the capital, was exalted by a group of people, and was instigated by impure people to go to Ban's house to withdraw the engagement, what would happen in the end?

Being flogged by Banhua in the street, he lost face, and finally all his fame and fortune disappeared.

In front of the imperial power, whether the scenery is good or not is just the emperor nodding or shaking his head.

A few days later, Hui Wang's mansion suddenly flooded, and Hui Wang and Hui Wang were buried in the sea of ​​fire. Only a pair of sons and daughters survived, but they were both injured. The eldest son Jiang Yuchen's leg was broken by the falling beam, and Princess Kangning's arm was burned by the fire, which looked particularly terrifying.

The empress felt sorry for the loss of their father and mother, so she specially decreed that Princess Kangning should be raised in the palace. Prince Hui's son inherited the title of Prince Hui, but was reduced from prince to county king. Countless people in the world praised the benevolence of the empress, and they pity the younger generations so much. Some people even wrote a book on purpose, as if it was a good thing worthy of a big book. Do you really care?

No matter how suspicious the cause of King Hui's death was, the rules of his funeral ceremony were not lowered by half, but not increased by half, everything followed the rules. However, the royal affairs are all in accordance with the rules, so it seems unavoidably shabby. Even the road sacrifices put up by various families in the capital were a bit perfunctory, as if they were telling everyone that King Hui's status was just like this.

Jiang Yuchen and Jiang Kangning, wearing filial piety handkerchiefs and filial piety clothes, escorted the coffins of King Hui and his wife to be buried. They saw how perfunctory the road sacrifices in various prefectures changed from original anger to numbness, and let these people carry hypocritical sadness, Say something to make them sad.

Three months ago, when the eldest princess was assassinated and died, these people were as sad as if they had lost their mothers and grandmothers. Now that their father and mother have died of illness, these people are too lazy to do a full set of acting.

The world is so ruthless, the two of them, brother and sister, will be like duckweed on the water in the future, helpless, like walking on thin ice.

"Please mourn." A slightly immature voice sounded, Kang Ning looked up, and the person who spoke was actually the son of the Jingting mansion. The other mansions could only send a steward. People from other families looked grand.

Kang Ning returned the salute in a trance, and continued to walk forward numbly. She had shed too many tears these days, and at this moment, she could no longer cry.

If the Jingting government knew that the eldest princess's assassination was related to their family, I'm afraid they wouldn't even put up a road sacrifice. Kang Ning looked up at the paper money flying all over the sky, and smiled wryly. I really didn't expect that the only person who seriously put up a road sacrifice was someone who was harmed by their family, how ridiculous.

Father always told them to be careful everywhere, always pay attention, why in the end, he was the one who pushed Prince Hui's mansion up and down into the endless abyss?
