Chapter 286 Karma

The maids filed in and placed food on the small table by the window.

"It's a bit boring." Shen Yu said, "Open the window."

The maid glanced at Xie Tingzhou and saw that he had no objection, so she opened the window.

"It's starting to get hot." Xie Tingzhou placed the porridge in front of Shen Yu, "It would be best if we can deal with Marquis Xuanping before the beginning of autumn."

Shen Yu took a sip of porridge and suddenly listened out the window, "Why is it so noisy outside?"

"At the end."

Shen Yu was stunned for a moment, "Did you kill King Wei?"

Xie Tingzhou said: "I want to have a good talk with him, but he doesn't know how to flatter me."

"I'm telling you, why don't you go to the bathroom right after you come back from the banquet?"

Xie Tingzhou approached with his arm propped up on the small table, "If you are so trusting of me, what if it's because of something else?"

"Anything else?" Shen Yu took the chopsticks and thought for a moment, "I'm afraid the beautiful women at the banquet were like 'Xishi was drunk and dancing, charming and weak, smiling while leaning on the white jade bed by the east window'①. Then you have to wash yourself well when you come back."

Xie Tingzhou stretched out his arms, "Do you want to check?"

"How can I check it after it's been washed?" Shen Yu put vegetables into his bowl.

"There is no fine wine, no beauty, and no white jade bed." Xie Tingzhou said, "But I heard that King Wei's little girl was blessed with beauty and beauty, but I didn't see it."

"It sounds very pity." Shen Yu looked at him, "You killed my father, how can you make a beauty smile?"

This look, the seductive way of looking at him with half-raised eyelids, is so rare.

Xie Tingzhou's throat tightened when he saw it. He grabbed her over and almost knocked over the table. "You have sharp teeth and a sharp mouth. I think you are in good spirits. Are you feeling well?"

"It's okay." Shen Yu put her arm on Xie Tingzhou's chest, "Don't mess around."

Xie Tingzhou didn't let her sit back down. He brought the porridge over and watched her eat it until she had no bite left before letting her go.

The sound of fighting outside lasted until midnight. Xie stopped and Zhouchen only got up. A group of people had been waiting outside the hospital to report last night's battle report.

After talking, Shen Yu also got up. She was in better spirits today, but her nose was still stuffy and she still couldn't speak in a loud voice.

Shen Yu picked up the account book of Prince Wei's Mansion presented below and looked through it for a while.

"Prince Wei's family is extremely wealthy, and the prince's pockets will be bulging again."

Xie Tingzhou tilted her head and leaned over to look, and flipped through a few pages with her hand, "If you can't drum it up, it's all the people's fat and the people's anointed by plundering. It is taken from the people and used by the people, and it will be used in Luzhou. Let the gentlemen discuss it tomorrow." A charter comes out.”

"What a good idea." Shen Yu said, "Now the people of Luzhou will follow you wholeheartedly."

"I just want you to follow me wholeheartedly." Xie Tingzhou lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Yu.

Shen Yu did not answer the question and continued to talk about business, "I am afraid that the people in other state capitals will be unable to sit still. If someone raises their arms at this moment, the state capitals will not be able to suppress it."

"Chaos is temporary." Xie Tingzhou said, "It is beneficial to us."

…

Servants were coming and going in the courtyard, and there were muddy footprints everywhere in the courtyard.

Mrs. Jiang avoided it in disgust, "Oh, what happened? There was mud everywhere."

She looked up and said, "Lian Zhi, Lian Zhi."

Jiang Lianzhi walked over and said, "Mother."

Mrs. Jiang looked worried, "It's a nice lake, why did you fill it in?"

"I don't like it." Jiang Lianzhi asked, "Does mother have anything to do with me?"

Mrs. Jiang nodded, and when she saw the servant carrying mud, she quickly moved to the side and avoided it, "Come here and say, Lianzhi, I heard that the girl from the Lin family has written again, right?"

"What exactly does mother want to ask?"

Mrs. Jiang said: "Last year, the new emperor ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the whole world, and the Lin family was also released. If you really like the Lin family girl and take her home as a concubine, my mother will not stop her, but the main wife still has to find a girl from a good family."

Jiang Lianzhi looked at Mrs. Jiang, "What makes a good family?"

"Of course he comes from a good family and has a gentle temper." Mrs. Jiang blurted out.

Jiang Lianzhi thought of Shen Yu. In her previous life, she had a gentle temperament, but she was rejected by her mother-in-law because of her poor family background. In this life, her family background was good, but her temperament was not so gentle.

Jiang Lianzhi had no intention of talking to Mrs. Jiang anymore, "I know mother, son, please leave."

"Eh..." Before Mrs. Jiang could finish her words, Jiang Lianzhi had already left.

Lin Qingli was released due to the amnesty last year and sent him several letters.

Jiang Lianzhi naturally knew what she meant, but he didn't reply to her letter. He had had enough of his previous life.

Father Lin taught him knowledge, and he had repaid this love long ago. He had repaid it in his previous life.

Gao Jin came back from outside, "Sir."

"what news?"

Gao Jin said: "Xie Tingzhou killed King Wei."

Jiang Lianzhi stopped and asked, "What's the situation over there in Weizhou?"

"It is said that Xie Tingzhou robbed King Wei's treasury and exchanged it for relief grains to distribute to the people. The people of Weizhou are grateful to him. People in other state capitals are looking forward to King Beilin's attack as soon as possible."

Jiang Lianzhi looked into the distance, "What a great trick. Now I have transformed from a rebellious minister into a righteous master, and it didn't even cost me a penny."

He changed the subject and said, "I have a letter and I will send someone to Weizhou as soon as possible and hand it over to..."

Jiang Lianzhi paused.

Gao Jin answered, "Leave it to King Beilin?"

"Leave it to Shen Yu." Jiang Lianzhi smiled, "Xie Tingzhou is very proud of himself now. I don't like to see him too happy."

The letter was delivered to Weizhou seven or eight days later.

After reading the letter, Shen Yu felt puzzled. Everything in the letter was something she wanted to discuss with Xie Tingzhou, but she didn't know how it was delivered to her.

Shen Yu took the letter and walked across the courtyard to the front hall, when she saw two women coming out with a group of girls.

The two women had never seen Shen Yu before, but they could guess who she was just by looking at her clothes and demeanor.

"Greetings, Princess." The woman in front knelt down quickly, and the ones behind followed suit.

Shen Yu glanced at the group of girls kneeling behind her, "What are you doing?"

The two women looked at each other, "I am a servant in the Zuo Changshi's mansion, and I am here with you to give gifts to the prince."

Shen Yu nodded, it turned out that they were here to give women to Xie Tingzhou.

The girls were all kneeling, and they looked quite young. Occasionally, a few of them had the courage to look up at Shen Yu, and their eyes were filled with panic, curiosity, and envy.

Shen Yu walked in, walked a few steps, and suddenly stopped.

She turned her head and looked down at the people at her feet, "You, raise your head."

The girl kneeling on the ground did not dare to raise her head, and was twisted hard by the woman on the arm, and then she raised her head.

Shen Yu half closed her eyes, looking at this face, familiar yet strange, she never thought that the scene would be like this.

The person who pushed her into the water in the previous life, now kneeled at her feet and didn't even dare to raise his head.

"What's your name?"

"Reply, reply to the princess, I am Lin Qingli."

Shen Yu asked: "Did the prince confiscate it?"

The woman smiled apologetically, "Reply to the princess, the prince said that the princess doesn't like noise, so let me take the people back."

"How are you going to deal with these people?"

"Usually they are sold to brothels. If the princess likes them, they can be kept as tea and water maids."

Shen Yu was silent, looking at the shade of the trees in the yard for a long time without speaking.

"Take them all away."

She had no revenge for Lin Qingli. If Lin Qingli hadn't pushed her, she wouldn't have met Xie Tingzhou.

If you know the cause in the previous life, you will be the one who suffers in this life. If you know the result in the next life, you will be the one who does it in this life. ②

Fate has its own arrangements.

Just as the woman was about to take people away, Lin Qingli rushed towards Shen Yu.

"Please save me, Princess."

② From the Buddhist scripture "Three Worlds Karma Sutra", which means: If you know the cause of the previous life, then what you experience in this life is the result; if you know the result of the next life, then what you do in this life is the cause, good deeds will bring good results, and bad deeds will bring bad results.
