When the Empress Becomes a Rich Family's Wasted Daughter

Before Lin Jing could ask more questions, he saw the ghost-faced boy suddenly paused on the stairs, then turned his head, waved at him, and clenched his fists, with an attitude that seemed to be encouraging.

Rong Zhen's voice came lightly.

"Come on, Lin Jing, I believe you will be rejected."

Lin Jing "..."

"Tsk." Cheng Yunyu sat upright, his features unclear under the bull-head mask, but one could feel that the whole bull face was filled with a happy smile.

Rong Zhen casually lifted up his gown and sat down. His eyes, bright as the morning stars, examined his mask, and a deep smile was etched in the depths of his eyes.

"I didn't expect that the book reviewer who is now very popular in the capital of gods, who looks gentle and polite on weekdays, would wear a bull-head mask and go out to seduce ghosts during the Qiqiao Festival."

Cheng Yunyu quietly looked at the hideous ghost mask in front of him. Through the mask, he seemed to see a lively and pretty woman who was laughing at him for having to resort to such a desperate measure because of his appearance.

But seeing that she was now dressed the same as himself, Cheng Yunyu felt a complicated emotion in his heart. The corners of his mouth under the mask slightly raised, and his black pupils looked at Rong Zhen lovingly, until the bright eyes on that ghost face showed some surprise, as if his mind was disturbed, and he retracted his gaze.

"How can we drink while wearing masks like this?" Rong Zhen's eyes were evasive. She picked up the wine utensils and the fine wine that had been placed on the table a long time ago and poured the wine skillfully.

Cheng Yunyu raised her head slightly to signal, pressed the edge of the mask with her fingers, revealing her angular chin.

Rongzhen was surprised that the mask was exquisitely made.

She also pressed the edge in the same way, and the hideous mask curled up, revealing the corners of her mouth.

“It’s convenient.”

"You left General Lin's men downstairs and drank alone. If the general knew about this..."

Rongzhen was helpless.

"Otherwise, I can find a beautiful woman to take back."

Cheng Yunyu seemed to be thinking about something.

"It just so happens that you have a villa in the capital of God. If you have a mistress, that would be a good thing."

Rong Zhen lowered her eyes. Could it be that he also wanted to bring back the people he had asked for from the Ye Ting Si?

She raised her glass and spoke obediently.

"Lan Ye has a miserable life. It's fate that we met."

"God has a residence, and it is convenient for you and me to do things."

"Besides, the nature of the male and female masters is different."

Seeing that she took the initiative to explain, Cheng Yunyu did not ask too many questions. She was kind-hearted by nature. He had investigated the maid's background as soon as possible and indeed could not find any problems.

"Well, Zhen'er, as long as you are happy."

Cheng Yunyu narrowed her eyes slightly.

as long as you are happy.

If there is any danger, he will not wait until the signs emerge, but will help the woman to cut it off.

Rongzhen choked on the wine and said in a low voice.

"I told you that even among gods we don't call each other that way. If you don't know, you might think we are gay."

The man in the brocade clothes was shocked. He didn't expect her to speak so bluntly. It made him feel his ears a little hot.

The corners of his mouth curled up in joy and he drank the wine in the glass.

Speak with a smile.

"I don't mind, this is just fine."

Rongzhen took a sip of wine gloomily.

Of course you are.

Ever since she returned to Shendu, she could hear stories about Cheng Yunyu, the most handsome man in Shendu, wherever she went. If it weren't for his low official rank of ninth rank, his relationship with the Cheng family would have been somewhat complicated.

The young ladies from all families in the divine capital were completely fascinated by the story. Many versions of the storybook centered around Cheng Yunyu were published, and they were snapped up by the young ladies as soon as they came out.

People like this must be very busy on the night of Qiqiao.

But he drank with her without saying a word.

He was also wearing a bull-headed messenger mask that warned strangers not to approach.

It was hard for her to say anything more after seeing this performance.

Cheng Yunyu changed the subject, as if he had noticed the singing and dancing downstairs, and spoke in a low voice.

"Zhen'er, Yunshui Tower is not peaceful today, please be careful."

After saying this, he returned to his usual indolent and lazy self.

Rong Zhen added casually.

"Why, what news have you heard?"

"Ah."

Cheng Yunyu has sharp ears and eyes, and his current location is remote, so his voice is light.

"It is said that the military guards may take action tonight, and their target is Yunshui Tower."

Rong Zhen frowned when he heard that Yunyu knew such secret information. He and Cheng Sheng were not close, and he did not expect that he would pay attention to the movements of the military guards.

As the commander-in-chief of the military guards, Cheng Sheng is the eyes and ears of His Majesty, in charge of all officials in the world, and independent of the six ministries.

This Yunshui Tower...

What crime was committed?

It was Cheng Sheng who gave the order himself.

Yunshui Tower...

Lady boss...

Rongzhen's expression changed slightly.

"Oh no, Lin Jing might be in danger."

Hearing the name of another man, Cheng Yunyu curled her lips slightly and then said.

"This Yunshui Tower is operating normally. If it is an ordinary guest who has no contact with it, there will be no problem."

Rongzhen frowned.

"Let Cheng Sheng prepare to take action... Could it be that Yunshui Tower is related to spies from other countries?"

Admiration flashed in Cheng Yunyu's eyes. His Zhen'er was indeed smart.

"The situation is delicate now. Any disturbance will easily lead to gossip and affect the foundation of the two countries. Your Majesty will not tolerate this."

"not good."

Rongzhen stood up, her snow-white chin looking even more resolute.

"The person in Lin Jing's heart is the proprietress of Yunshui Tower. If she is used by someone with ulterior motives, the entire Lin family may be implicated."

Hearing Rong Zhen say this, Cheng Yunyu also realized that something was wrong.

He had never heard that Lin Jing, the second son of the Lin family, had any contact with Yun Anhe, the owner of Yunshui Tower. Today, Rong Zhen invited him to Yunshui Tower. On the one hand, he missed the girl and it was a good opportunity to see her.

On the other hand, my presence can ensure Rongzhen's safety.

I didn't think about Lin Jing's situation.

The two looked at each other.

"Waiter, check out."

The two men walked out of Yunshui Tower one after the other, and walked for a long distance separately as if unintentionally, before taking a detour to meet at the back alley of Yunshui Tower.

The mask is a good cover-up, but the ghost face does easily attract attention.

The two had already taken off their masks on the way.

"Zhen'er, Cheng Sheng's men have surrounded the entire Yunshui Tower. Do you need me to go in with you?"

Cheng Yunyu played with the bull-head mask in his hand and spoke lightly.

Rongzhen shook his head.

"Cheng Sheng's people recognize you, I will go by myself. Yunyu, if there is any problem, I will withdraw in the old way."

Cheng Sheng was already doubtful and resentful about the fact that his illegitimate son, as a commoner, had come to the emperor to advise him and ask for the position of proofreader. If he knew that he was involved with his Lin family army, he would be in trouble.

It's never a good thing.

What's more, if there really is a spy from an enemy country in Yunshui Tower, it would be a capital crime.

There was still singing and dancing in Yunshui Tower, and it was very lively.

Yun Anhe was not busy in the kitchen, but appeared in her own room. She looked down at the captured maid.

The maidservant was completely hopeless and hung her head, trembling all over, unable to even utter the words to beg for mercy.

She was well aware of Yun Anhe's cruel methods.

Begging for mercy suddenly will only make you die faster...'
