EBE Chapter 352 The Most Handsome Monk
Chapter 352 The Most Handsome Monk
I ate cured pork today, and it was a bit salty.
So I drank a bit too much water.
Sleep until midnight.
Miao Miao suddenly felt the urge to urinate and got up to pee.
Half-asleep, Xi'er helped her bring out the chamber pot, and then sat down and dozed off.
The little girl was sitting on the toilet urinating, looking out through the cracks in the door and window.
The moon is bright and the stars are few; the moonlight is beautiful tonight.
Huh! What's that?
Suddenly, I saw a figure moving around outside the door.
Miaomiao's first reaction.
There's a thief!
The urine that was halfway through was suddenly held back.
Upon closer inspection, it didn't seem like a thief.
What kind of thief walks around outside with his hair all over the place? Besides, this is the Lu family's back residence. Who would be so bold as to sneak in in the middle of the night?
Miaomiao was a little curious.
They woke Xi'er, and the two of them, carrying candles, pushed open the door and tiptoed out.
"Ah~~~"
They happened to run into each other.
Both sides were taken aback.
"Miaomiao, what are you doing out here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" Lu Zhiyun picked up the little one and carried her back into the house.
She couldn't sleep because she was thinking about what happened during the day, and this little guy couldn't sleep either and was wandering around aimlessly.
"Sister Yun isn't asleep either?" Jiang Miaomiao looked at Sister Yun, whose long hair was loose.
Luckily, I wasn't wearing a white shirt, or I would have been terrified.
Lu Zhiyun smiled gently and said, "Since you can't sleep, why don't you keep me company and talk to me?"
Jiang Miaomiao: ……
Instead of sleeping in the middle of the night, he chatted with a child.
What's wrong with this?
However, she still obediently nodded and said, "Okay."
Sister Yun probably thinks that she is still young and doesn't understand anything, so she uses her as a confidante.
Lu Zhiyun placed the soft little girl on the bed and slept next to her.
"Miaomiao, do you think General Qin would be willing to marry me? After all, my reputation is really bad. Even if he were willing, his colleagues would laugh at him, right?"
Jiang Miaomiao: ...Of course!
In those days, if a woman lost her chastity and could not bear children, it was a huge deal.
However, this was the Lu family, where everyone was very protective of their own, so those rumors couldn't get into the Lu family's inner quarters.
But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
It's not something that can be calmed down just by giving a verbal explanation.
Lu Zhiyun didn't hear the little guy's response and started talking to herself again, "Should I go and drag Jiang Zijin out to clarify things?"
"It's useless." Miao Miao couldn't stand it anymore and said, "So-called rumors are just that the people who spread them don't care about the truth. They only want to believe what they want to see. Proving yourself is the most useless thing."
Lu Zhiyun remained silent for a long time, looking at the little guy with his eyes rolling in the darkness with some surprise.
Who said these things to you?
"Aunt Qianxue," Miaomiao said innocently, her eyes wide open.
You can't exactly go to your aunt to confirm it, can you? She's a soon-to-be princess now, she must be very busy.
Lu Zhiyun was absolutely convinced that Miss Mu's talent was outstanding.
"What else did she say?"
"No one would want to believe the pitiful cries of a wretched man, but if this matter turns into mutual hatred between the Jiang and Lu families, or even slander and abuse, the nature of the matter changes, and it will make everyone feel that the previous rumors are not credible."
Lu Zhiyun's brows twitched.
Ask Miaomiao, "Did Mu Qianxue tell you all of this?"
She found out so quickly that Jiang Zijin was the one spreading the rumors.
And then there are the pitiful wretch's mournful cries...
Is this referring to her?
"Miaomiao, did she say if she had any ideas?"
Jiang Miaomiao shook her head and said, "They didn't say, but I figured it out myself."
I just want to ask Sister Yun, do you dare to go?
Lu Zhiyun sat up abruptly and had Xier light the lamp.
She cupped the little one's soft face in her hands and said gently, "Miaomiao, tell me, what's the plan?"
She had already experienced the cleverness and liveliness of the little one at Lu Garden.
With Miss Mu's guidance, there might actually be some good ideas.
Miaomiao tilted her head and grinned, "Can you climb walls and trees, sister?"
Lu Zhiyun: ...Do we have to climb walls and trees for this?
"Yes... a little bit."
She never told anyone that while in exile, she had secretly climbed trees to steal bird eggs.
"That's good. Do you have scissors and a tinderbox, sister?"
Miaomiao scrambled to her feet and had Xier dress her.
"Yes." Although Lu Zhiyun couldn't figure out what the little guy was going to do, she still went back into the house and found the two items.
Xi'er's brows twitched.
What terrible thing is this girl trying to do this time?
Since she was recognized by her biological mother, more people have been watching her, and she has been quite well-behaved for quite some time.
If no one's watching, they're going to start courting disaster again.
She muttered a few words to herself and quickly chased after him.
It's quiet at night.
Three girls, of different ages, and a little red bird sneaked out of the Lu residence.
The guards discovered that their young master hadn't slept in the middle of the night and had slipped out of the house, so they quickly gave chase.
This isn't like Princess Yuqing's penchant for nighttime outings, is it?
The leader was Liu Yun.
He wasn't surprised by this, but he was curious about what the young princess was up to in the middle of the night.
He made no attempt to hide, appearing directly on horseback. "Miss, where are you headed?"
Lu Zhiyun was startled, thinking she had encountered a bad person.
She pulled out her hairpin and faced the flowing clouds.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, these are the bodyguards that Mother arranged for us," Miao Miao quickly explained.
She wasn't surprised at all and said to Liu Yun, "Let's go, Brother Liu Yun."
Before long, the carriage arrived outside the walls of the Jiang residence.
Looking at the high courtyard wall, the group really couldn't understand what Miaomiao was trying to do, and she wouldn't tell them when they asked.
We just went along with her; it's just climbing over a wall, after all.
Jiang Miaomiao thought that she and Sister Yun were the only novices who needed help to climb over the courtyard wall.
However, she was the only one who needed Liu Yun's help.
Lu Zhiyun flicked her long whip, tied it to a tree branch inside the courtyard wall, and used the force to leap inside.
Miao Miao's mouth dropped open, her jaw almost falling to the ground.
It turns out she was the only newbie.
I thought Sister Yun's self-defense techniques were nothing more than fancy moves.
Who knew he was such a hidden master?
Several people climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.
Before the guards could react, Liu Yun knocked them unconscious.
The Jiang residence was small and easy to find; we quickly located Jiang Zijin's courtyard.
Liu Yun couldn't help but ask, "Miss, what are we doing?"
not……
Miao Miao pointed at the maids and servants on night duty in the courtyard, "Knock them out."
Inside the room, Jiang Zijin lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
She was beaten so badly by the maids and servants of the Shen family that she was in pain all over her body; they really hit her hard.
Even after showering and applying medicine, I still couldn't sleep at night because of the pain.
Thinking about what happened yesterday.
Seeing her return home in a disheveled state, it was Zhou Mu who drove her home.
Her father berated her severely and kicked Zhou Mu out.
Zhou Mu didn't seem to know how to avoid suspicion; he promised his father he would marry her before even announcing the engagement.
This whole mess ruined the good reputation she had painstakingly built.
You idiot, Zhou Mu is a complete moron.
What's even more infuriating is that the matter with the Lu family didn't work out either; her original plan was to win over the Lu family for Prince Chen.
It was a happy ending for everyone.
If the matter is exposed, Prince Chen will definitely blame Princess Chen.
It would also be good to take this opportunity to make Prince Chen dislike Princess Chen so that she could be given a better position.
Unexpectedly, the Emperor intercepted it halfway.
Man proposes, God disposes!
Just then, I heard the door creak open.
She called out to her maid several times, but there was no response.
"Where did all the people die?"
Suddenly, she felt a huge creature in front of her, covering her mouth and nose.
Before he could even scream, everything went black, and he passed out.
"Young Master, Miss Jiang has fainted. What should we do next?" Liu Yun's heart pounded.
What if the young princess takes the scissors and stabs someone? Should he stop her?
Unexpectedly, the young princess handed the scissors to Miss Yun, saying, "Sister Yun, please cut Jiang Zijin's hair."
Let them vent their anger and resentment on that head of enviable hair.
In ancient times, people believed that one's body and hair were gifts from one's parents, and even cutting them was unacceptable; they valued them more than life itself.
Otherwise, how could there be the saying of cutting off one's hair to replace one's head?
It would also be considered unfilial.
Of course, there are exceptions, except for criminals and monks.
Jiang Zijin woke up to find her beautiful hair gone; she must be about to explode with rage.
“Okay.” Lu Zhiyun didn’t hesitate, picked up the scissors and stepped forward, “Snip, snip... snip, snip…”
The sound is crisp and pleasant.
As soon as she entered the room, she saw Jiang Zijin's beautiful hair.
I had the urge to go up and cut it.
You ruined my reputation, snap.
You dared to take my life, *snap*.
You pushed me into the fire pit, snap.
You Qi family caused my whole family to be exiled for years, sizzle, sizzle...
Xi'er couldn't bear to watch and stepped forward to help.
I picked up the scissors from the sewing basket and snipped them a few times.
Oh no! I'm balding...
Liu Yun's lips twitched. So that's how it works.
He suddenly felt an itch to do it and said to Miaomiao, "Miss, shall I take care of Minister Jiang's hair?"
Miao Miao nodded; she had only intended to shave Jiang Zijin's hair.
Won't this cause too much of a stir?
This matter has escalated to the point of involving the imperial court.
After all, no official goes to court with a shaved head.
That scumbag dad must be the most handsome monk.
However, he probably won't pass the test in terms of appearance.
As the Vice Minister of Rites, he was the one who disregarded etiquette and appearance the most; the Emperor must be furious.
The censor will surely impeach him.
After finishing her important task, Jiang Miaomiao went to the outer courtyard and specifically sought out the Jiang family's outhouse.
Xi'er asked, "Miss, do you need to relieve yourself?"
Miaomiao shook her head and handed the tinder to Liuyun.
He earnestly instructed, "Brother Liuyun, after we climb over the wall, light the tinder and throw it far into the latrine. Once it's in, run as fast as you can!"
She was too slow to run and got splashed with the golden juice, so it's no wonder she got splattered.
In the blink of an eye, Liu Yun saw the little princess already pulling Xi'er and Miss Yun along, running away with her short legs.
It was as if a dog was chasing her.
As soon as they left the Jiang family's house, Miaomiao quickly covered her nose and said to Xi'er and Sister Yun, "Cover your nose quickly, it'll stink to death in a minute."
The two looked at each other.
Although it was unclear why the little guy had Liuyun throw tinder into the latrine.
But it's definitely not going to be anything good, and I don't want to investigate, so I'll just slip away.
With Liu Yun's abilities, he should be able to catch up with them quickly.
Sure enough, the carriage hadn't gone more than a few steps.
"boom……"
A loud bang came from the Jiang family behind them.
It could be heard very clearly on the streets outside.
Just then, Liu Yun ran out and leaped off the wall, only to be startled by the sudden explosion.
I almost twisted my ankle.
Then an indescribable smell wafted out.
Was the outhouse blown up?
He was somewhat taken aback; a small tinderbox had actually blown up the outhouse!
The key issue was that the young princess ordered the bombing.
They really know how to have fun.
The servants in the Jiang household were all awakened, but the masters were fast asleep.
No one dared to disturb them.
The next morning, before dawn.
Tao Tao got up and helped Jiang Yunze change his clothes for court.
When I opened my eyes, I vaguely saw a bald monk sitting in front of the bed.
They thought they had been tricked by that little vixen Jiang Zijin.
She kicked out with a swift, invisible kick, shouting, "Where did this madman come from, daring to sneak into my house?"
Tao Tao scrambled to her feet, wanting to kick him a few more times before having him tied up and secretly sent away.
Caught off guard, Jiang Yunze stumbled and fell to the ground.
Turning back, she glared angrily at Tao Tao, "What's wrong with you so early in the morning?"
Tao Tao heard a familiar voice and brought the candle closer to the bald man's face on the ground to take a look.
Omg!
Her eyes widened instantly, staring at him in disbelief.
"Good heavens! Husband, where did your hair go?"
Could this be a ghost? My hair is gone after I woke up from my nap.
Tao Tao didn't pay attention to him and quickly looked down at her beautiful hair.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, my hair is still there.
Then he quickly checked on the sleeping baby girl in the cradle next to him.
Thankfully, the child is still alive.
Jiang Yunze rolled over and got up, a bad feeling creeping into his heart. He touched his hair.
Gone……
He immediately moved closer to the bronze mirror.
The mirror showed a handsome monk with twitching eyebrows and bulging veins on his forehead.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Who did this?"
"It wasn't me." Tao Tao shook her head like a rattle drum.
They shared the same bed, and she was perfectly fine, while her husband had become such a horrible mess.
When the maid entered the room and saw her master in this state, she was so frightened that she dropped the washbasin she was holding.
The head maid of the courtyard entered the room without daring to raise her head. "Master, the Third Miss's hair was shaved off last night, and the outhouse in the outer courtyard was also blown up."
"Where are the guards and servants? Are they all dead?" Jiang Yunze was so angry that his face turned red, his fists clenched tightly, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The old woman shook her head. "The guards and all the maids and servants in the Third Miss's courtyard were knocked unconscious. The thief must be a master."
"Investigate! Investigate! Find out who it is and tear him to pieces!"
Tao Tao tiptoed over and draped a robe over him. "Husband, are you still going to court?"
"Why go to court looking like this? Aren't you just walking right into the hands of the censors?" Yunze said irritably.
Tao Tao: ...
If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why yell at her?
It wasn't her who shaved it.
Besides, it will take quite some time for his hair to grow back; does that mean he can skip court every day?
This morning.
Vice Minister Jiang did not attend court, claiming illness and requesting leave.
But then he had someone impeach him.
If someone doesn't like you, they'll have a million reasons to impeach you.
After Shen family ginseng, Fang family ginseng is finished; after Fang family ginseng, Zhou family ginseng is finished.
All three families were seething with anger.
Because of Miss Jiang, the foolish fifth master of the Fang family married a maid as his legal wife.
Because of Jiang San, the Shen family married a widow as their daughter-in-law, and their daughter's marriage was also ruined by her.
It was all because of Miss Jiang that Zhou Mu, who was always sensible, insisted on breaking off his engagement with Miss Shen and refused to marry anyone but Miss Zijing.
What's worse, this third Miss Jiang ruined the reputation of the Lu family's daughter and almost caused her death.
The child does not teach, the father too.
If we don't blame Jiang Yunze, who can we blame? If we don't impeach him, who can we impeach?
He died from ginseng.
