Chapter 1166 [The Wrong Couple 27]
The men came to Wanhua Tower in groups, and as soon as they entered the door, they shouted that they wanted to see Miss Qin Qiuyu. The madam came up to them with a big smile on her face, explaining that there would be Miss Qiuyu's special performance in two days, and they would be feasting their eyes then.
The men were obviously impatient and asked where Miss Qiuyu was at the moment. The madam rolled her eyes and replied with a smile: "Besides Murong's house, where else can we go?"
At this time, Qin Qiuyu was sitting in the garden of Murong Mansion, stroking the strings of the zither and playing a melodious tune. Murong Fu was concentrating on playing chess nearby and didn't seem to care about Qiuyu's zither music.
However, Qiuyu's mind was not entirely on the piano. While she was playing, she secretly observed Murong Fu's chess game, thinking about how to solve his chess problem. Murong Fu suddenly spoke up, slightly reproachfully, "Miss Qiuyu, I'm afraid you are distracted when playing the piano. How can you concentrate on playing the piano when your mind is confused?"
Qiu Yu blushed when she heard that, and quickly explained, "Don't blame me, sir. I just saw that your chess game was in a stalemate, and I couldn't help but think about it." Murong Fu smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, young lady, I appreciate your kindness."
While the two were talking, a servant came hurriedly and reported that the salt shop owner Lin wanted to see him. Murong Fu frowned slightly, thinking that this shopkeeper Lin came at this time, could it be that there was something important? He asked the servant to bring shopkeeper Lin in.
When Shopkeeper Lin saw Murong Fu, he said in panic: "Mr. Murong, something terrible has happened! The account book of the Salt Gang's contraband salt sales has accidentally fallen into the hands of Aolongbao. What should we do?" Murong Fu's face darkened. He knew very well that if the account book fell into the hands of Aolongbao, the consequences would be disastrous.
After pondering for a moment, Murong Fu said to Manager Lin, "You must leave for Shuzhong immediately and find a new salt merchant buyer no matter what. If the problem cannot be solved this time, you don't have to come back." Manager Lin knew the importance and difficulty of this mission, but he had no choice but to obey the order and leave.
Qin Qiuyu was walking back when she saw Wujie taming a horse from a distance. Wujie was very agile and wielded the whip vigorously. The horse was tamed so well that it dared not resist at all.
Qin Qiuyu couldn't help laughing as she watched Wujie taming the horse. She thought to herself: This Wujie is really good, this horse is as obedient as if it were under a spell in his hands.
At this time, a servant hurried over to report to Qin Qiuyu: "Miss, the one who was training the horse just now was the third son of Aolong Fort!"
Qin Qiuyu was a little surprised. She asked, "Oh? The third son of Aolong Fort? Why is he training horses here?"
The servant replied, "Miss, you may not know that Aolong Fort recently received a batch of new horses, among which there is a fiercest horse. The eldest lady took a liking to it at first sight. However, the horse is too fierce and no one can tame it. When the third fort master found out, he volunteered to go into battle himself."
Qin Qiuyu couldn't help but admire the Third Castle Master. She said with emotion: "Mrs. Shi is so lucky to have such a brave and capable son."
Xiaoying at the side also echoed: "Yes, Miss, you see, this Third Castle Master is not only handsome, but also so capable. He is really a rare good man!"
Qin Qiuyu smiled slightly and said, "Wasn't I a lady from a noble family before? If my family hadn't fallen from grace, how could I have fallen into prostitution?"
Xiaoying quickly comforted her, "Miss, don't say that. Although you are in the dust now, you are kind-hearted and talented. You will definitely meet someone who truly understands and loves you."
Qin Qiuyu sighed and said, "I just hope to find my sister as soon as possible. As long as she is safe, I will be satisfied. After I find my sister, I will definitely help her find a good man like the Third Castle Master so that she can live a happy life."
Qiuyu returned to Wanhua Tower and was surrounded by a group of men as soon as she got off the carriage. My mother hurried forward and told the men to disperse. Then she said to Qiuyu, "Miss Qiuyu, you are tired today. Go back to your room and rest. These gentlemen are waiting to see your special performance. Let them appreciate your elegance in two days."
Qiuyu thanked her mother with a smile, then turned and walked towards her room.
However, when she pushed open the door, she found Murong Fu sitting in the room. Seeing Qiu Yu coming back, Murong Fu stood up and asked with a smile: "Miss Qiu Yu, you left earlier than me, why did you come back only now?"
Qiu Yu looked at Murong Fu in surprise and explained, "I was just outside watching the Third Young Master of the Shi Family train his horses, so I was delayed for a while."
Murong Fu listened and nodded, and then the two began to chat. The topic naturally turned to the three brothers of Aolongbao. Qiuyu was particularly impressed by Shi Wuji. She sighed: "I heard that Shi Wuji only married one wife, and he doted on the first wife. It's really enviable."
Murong Fu smiled slightly and said, "Miss Qiuyu, you don't have to be too envious. I can't give you the happiness of loving only one person, but the love I have promised will definitely surpass thousands and thousands of others."
……
Liang Yushi stood in front of the gate of Aolong Castle, feeling a little uneasy. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then walked towards the guards at the door.
"Who is coming?" The guard asked vigilantly when he saw someone approaching.
Liang Yushi smiled and said softly, "I came to Aolong Castle to look for someone on my father's orders."
The guard took a look at Liang Yushi and saw that she had an extraordinary temperament, so he asked, "Who are you looking for, young master?"
Liang Yushi was about to answer when he suddenly saw a figure walking out of the castle. It was Wuhen.
"Second Young Master, this young man came to Aolong Castle to look for someone." The guard hurriedly said to Wuhen.
Wuhen looked at Liang Yushi, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Who are you looking for, young master?"
Liang Yushi took out a jade pendant from his bosom, handed it to Wuhen, and said, "This is my token of love."
Wuhen took the jade pendant and took a closer look. He saw the word "Liang" engraved on it. His heart moved and he seemed to remember something.
"Please follow me, sir." Wuhen said, then turned around and walked into Aolong Castle with Liang Yushi.
Liang Yushi followed Wuhen through the long corridor and came to the meeting hall.
Shi Wuji, Uncle Leng, Zhaoyang and Wujie were all present in the hall. When they saw Wuhen coming in with a stranger, they all looked curious.
Wuhen walked up to Uncle Leng, handed the jade pendant to him, and said, "Uncle Leng, do you recognize this jade pendant?"
Uncle Leng took the jade pendant, looked at it for a moment, and suddenly his face changed. He said, "Are you from the Liang family?"
Liang Yushi nodded and said, "My father is Liang Yonggang."
Uncle Leng showed a look of surprise on his face. He said to Shi Wuji and others, "Master, Madam, Second Master, Third Master, this is the son of an old friend of the Shi family. The master and the Liang family had arranged a marriage for him."
"Engaged? But Mr. Liang is a man, and my sister already has someone she likes. What about this marriage?" Shi Wujie said with a look of doubt on his face.
Seeing this, Zhao Yang quickly explained: "This is a long story, I hope Mr. Shi will not be anxious."
Shi Wujie nodded and said no more.
Zhaoyang turned to look at Liang Yushi and said slowly, "May I ask if this gentleman can spare me a moment to talk?"
Liang Yushi hesitated for a moment, but still replied, "Okay."
Wuji, who was standing by, felt uncomfortable when he saw this. How could he feel at ease when his wife wanted to talk to another man alone?
Wuji couldn't help but say: "Madam..."
Zhaoyang turned around and patted Wuji's hand, and comforted him softly: "Okay, Wuji, I just want to confirm my guess, don't think too much."
Although Wuji still had doubts in his heart, seeing Zhaoyang said so, he couldn't stop her anymore, so he could only say: "Then my lady, let Ziyuan accompany you, so that I can feel more at ease."
Zhaoyang thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with Wuji's suggestion, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
So Liang Yushi followed Zhaoyang to the compartment.
As soon as he entered the compartment, Liang Yu Shi felt a little uneasy. He didn't know why Zhao Yang wanted to see him.
Zhaoyang didn't waste any words and said straight to the point: "You are a woman, right?"
Liang Yushi's face turned pale instantly when he heard this. He stared at Zhaoyang with wide eyes in disbelief, and stammered, "Madam, you are joking. I am a man of seven feet tall, how can I be a woman?"
Zhao Yang smiled slightly, ignoring Liang Yushi's denial, and continued, "You are the woman, and your father was framed by others and then committed suicide, right? To be precise, he was trying to cover up your departure."
"How do you know? Who are you?" Liang Yushi looked at the woman in front of him with suspicion, wondering about her identity in his heart.
Zi Yuan smiled slightly and replied slowly: "My master is the regent of the current dynasty, Princess Zhaoyang, and also the eldest lady of Aolong Fort."
When Liang Yushi heard this, her heart was shocked. She widened her eyes and looked at Zi Yuan in disbelief, as if she wanted to find a flaw in her face.
"You are the princess?" Liang Yushi murmured to himself, "Since the princess knows my identity, she should also know that I am now a wanted criminal by the court. Does the princess want to hand me over?"
Princess Zhaoyang quickly waved her hands and explained, "No, no, no, I absolutely do not mean that. I can help you get revenge. Your family was exterminated because of the Shi family. It is the Shi family that has let you down."
Liang Yushi's face turned gloomy, she clenched her teeth, and a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, Princess Zhaoyang comforted her, "Since you are a girl, you'd better change back into women's clothes. You can live in Aolong Castle without worry. With me here, no one else dares to take over Aolong Castle."
Liang Yushi hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and said, "Thank you, Princess."
Princess Zhaoyang smiled and patted Liang Yushi's shoulder, then turned to Ziyuan and said, "Ziyuan, take Miss Liang to change her clothes. It's not good for a girl to look like a boy all day long. Girls should dress up beautifully."
Then, Zhaoyang stepped out of the door lightly, leaving Wuji where he was. Wuji followed Zhaoyang closely, and when she disappeared from his sight, Wuji turned his head to look inside the house and asked softly, "Madam, where is Mr. Liang?"
Zhao Yang smiled slightly and replied softly, "Wait a moment, he will be out soon."
Time passed quietly, and before long, Liang Yushi finally showed up. She was wearing a dark green dress that flowed like clouds, and a belt of the same color tied around her waist, which made her figure even more graceful. She had an exquisite hairpin in her bun, which swayed gently with her steps, like a flower in the wind.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by Liang Yushi, and they were all stunned for a moment. Except for Zhaoyang and Shi Wuji, everyone else showed obvious shock. The reason why Shi Wuji was unmoved was that he didn't care about Liang Yushi's real gender, so naturally he was not surprised.
Shi Wujie widened his eyes, looked at Liang Yushi in disbelief, and murmured: "So Brother Liang, you are actually a woman."
Liang Yushi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, and replied: "Yes, it is a genuine girl."
Her voice is clear and pleasant, like the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley, which makes people fall in love with her.
Liang Yushi seemed to notice the reactions of the crowd, and explained somewhat embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, it was inconvenient for me to travel around as a girl, so I had to change into men's clothes. Don't my women's clothes look good?"
After saying that, she lowered her eyes shyly, and fiddled with the corner of her clothes with her fingers.
At this time, Wuhen, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said, "It looks good."
His voice was low and magnetic. Although it was only two short words, it seemed to contain endless admiration.
"Miss Yushi has an engagement with the Shi family, and Wuji has already married, so the marriage can only fall on the shoulders of you two, Wuhen and Wujie." Zhaoyang looked at Wuhen and Wujie seriously, and continued, "You two should try to get in touch with Yushi. Yushi is a good girl, gentle and kind, well-educated, and very beautiful. Anyway, you don't have anyone you like at the moment, so why not spend more time with Yushi, maybe you will get something unexpected. Even if you two don't succeed in the end, I will recognize Yushi as my sister and then choose a good husband for her."
When Wu Jie heard this, he immediately shouted, "Sister-in-law, I think Miss Yu Shi and my second brother are a better match. I want to play with her for a few more years!" As he said this, he winked at Zhao Yang mischievously, then turned around and ran away, shouting, "Sister-in-law, I still have to feed the horses, so I'll leave first!"
Zhaoyang was both angry and amused when she saw this. She shook her head helplessly and said to Liang Yushi, "Yushi, I'm really making fun of you. Wujie is just a child at heart. He will never grow up."
Liang Yushi smiled slightly and said sympathetically, "It's okay, Madam. I think Wujie is quite interesting."
Zhaoyang felt a little comforted after hearing this, and then said to Wuhen, "Wuhen, I'll leave Miss Yushi in your care. As for me, I'm pregnant now, so it's inconvenient for me to move around. You have to take good care of Miss Yushi for me, and don't bully her."
"I understand, sister-in-law." Wuhen said helplessly.
