"He Lianlin didn't leave the house."

"No one marked anything outside Princess Pingyang's mansion."

The last hour agreed in the letter has passed.

Listening to the sounds coming from outside the carriage, Su Youyue, who had been sitting in the carriage for a long time, slowly lowered her eyes.

In the dark, Jin'er couldn't see clearly her young lady's expression.

But the more silent she became, the more distressed Jin'er felt.

What happened to my uncle? Could it be that he lost his memory just like his wife who had been serving as Doctor Ji for a long time?

If this is the case, the lady can reluctantly forgive him.

Otherwise, it would be too abominable to leave the lady alone for so long.

Jin'er didn't think at all that if He Lianlin was really Xie Yuan, he wouldn't be able to recognize his own lady. Even Prince Bei had mistakenly recognized her. How could he not recognize her?

"Miss..." Seeing Su Youyue's silence, Jin'er reached out to cover her hand.

She stretched out her little hand, but paused.

Su Youyue's hands are warm.

She looked up and saw that Su Youyue's eyes were almost the only light in the darkness.

"Miss..." Jin'er thought that her young lady was possessed by a demon and wanted to comfort her.

Su Youyue suddenly curled her lips.

"Jin'er, tell me, why doesn't Helianlin come?"

"Um...Miss, this...slave, I guess it's because he is not an adult?" Jin'er was confused by the question.

If Helian Lin was not an adult, he would naturally not go to the young lady's appointment.

Su Youyue shook her head, her eyes as bright as stars: "Sending a letter to Helianlin was actually a strategy that had both ends in mind from the beginning."

"If he comes, or if he marks outside the princess's residence, we can confirm his identity."

"If he doesn't come, there will be no reaction..."

"Doesn't it just illustrate his weirdness?"

Su Youyue lowered her eyes.

"If there was no compelling reason, how could a normal person not express any reaction when receiving the letter? Even if he sent someone to reject it, it would be reasonable. However, he didn't react at all. Did he not want to respond, or was he unable to respond?"

"Princess Pingyang usually sends so many guards to follow him. Is this for protection or surveillance?"

She slowly asked one question after another, leaving Jin'er stunned. It took a while before Jin'er figured out the key here.

"Miss, does that mean that Helian Lin is really an adult?"

Su Youyue's eyes remained unchanged: "Before, I was only 30 to 40 percent sure, but now, I'm at least 80 percent sure."

This is why she took the risk to deliver the letter.

However, the letter was just an invitation. It stated that he knew an old friend of his and did not mention Xie Yuan. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if Helianlin was really just Helianlin.

But precisely because of this, Helianlin's lack of reaction seemed strange.

Xie Yuan, why can't you respond to me?

King Rong's crazy words before his death came to mind again, and Su Youyue slowly exhaled.

Princess Pingyang...is she really Mrs. Xie back then? Is she Xie Yuan's mother?

Su Youyue suppressed all her emotions and opened the car curtain.

"Go back to Shen's house."

It was long after the carriage left slowly that the secret guards left.

It wasn't until the secret guards left that a shadow quietly disappeared into the darkness in the corner, heading towards Princess Pingyang's mansion.

For two days in a row, Shen's mansion was peaceful and calm.

On the other hand, there were a lot of rumors in the capital about the eldest daughter of the Shen family. It turned out that this eldest daughter was the legendary veiled beauty, a girl who grew up in the countryside. As soon as she came here, she fell in love with Prince Bei and Helian Lin. She was favored by a person of high status, and because of her, she kicked the young lady from the Ding'an Marquis Mansion out of the banquet. She was also proficient in music, and everyone who loved music was now begging for her music score.

And it is said that although Miss Shen has a graceful appearance, she has an extremely terrifying appearance.

Such a magical woman has attracted everyone's curiosity.

The news spread more and more widely, until people in the streets and alleys could talk about it. In a remote alley, a thin woman listened to these gossips, and a dark light flashed in her eyes. She was tied to her back. There were several pieces of cloth, and I tried my best to hold three pieces of cloth in my arms, and my thin figure was almost squeezed out of sight.

"They say that Prince Bei, who has not married a princess for so many years, is waiting for some peerless beauty. That's not necessarily true. Miss Shen is not a beauty. I heard she looks like a yaksha!" The fat woman clicked her tongue in surprise. After finishing the gossip, he looked at the cloth in the woman's arms and stretched out his fat hand to touch it.

"Ms. Shi, I have never doubted your craftsmanship, but the materials are getting worse and worse. I can only give you ten cents a piece for these pieces. This is my great mercy. , and now there are still a few people wearing linen clothes in our holy capital."

There was a hint of urgency on the thin woman's face: "Mother Liu, please show mercy again, my man is really very ill..."

But the fat woman suddenly turned cold: "I have been completely benevolent and loyal to you Bai family. I have to change hands several times to find a buyer for this linen cloth. Even the family members who are slaves don't wear this material..."

The woman's eyes instantly turned red.

The fat woman looked at her figure, which was as thin as a bamboo pole, and cursed as if she was unlucky: "That's all, a horse is eleven cents, not even one cent more. I pity you. You were also a master and his wife back then." But as for me, I don’t earn a little hard-earned money on my own. Don’t make this kind of material anymore. Come to me to get some good cotton thread and go back to make it. I’ll give you thirteen coins for making one piece, so that you don’t waste it anymore. craft."

There was a hint of joy in the woman's eyes and she nodded repeatedly.

Pay in one hand and deliver in one hand.

Watching the woman leave, the fat woman sighed to the people next to her: "Although the Bai family was also a wealthy family at the beginning, it was a rare businessman with a conscience. How could it be that it has fallen into this state today? Now the family is sick several times. What a big deal, all supported by one woman! God is so blind!"

Mrs. Shi packed up the seventy-seven coins she had received from selling cloth, three layers inside and three layers outside, and stuffed them into the seam pocket of her lining.

There are many people in the Holy Capital City, and residential land is naturally in short supply. In remote areas, the alleys are like winding small intestines. The houses are still small, and some of them don't even have yards.

She turned five corners and bought medicine for fifty cents at a small drugstore with a simple residential style. She also bought corn for twelve cents and vegetables for two cents next door. She made seven more turns and finally Then he stopped in front of a dilapidated small house under a tung tree, unlocked the door and entered the yard.

"Cough cough..."

A man's heavy coughing sound could be heard in the room.

Before the man finished coughing, another cough came from the side.

Mrs. Shi quickly stepped into the house.

There was a dull and medicinal smell emanating from a chronically ill person floating in the room.

"Madam, cough cough... I'm back... cough..."

A simple sentence, the man said it in fragments due to coughing.
