After the carriage left the post station, one or two little beauty sobbed from time to time from inside the carriage. While the plate was following the instructions of the general, he drove slowly along the way, and hated the general forcibly bullying the common women.

When he arrived at the fork in the road when he met Yin Chong yesterday, he waited for another half an hour. Yin Chong finally rushed over with two guards.

Panzi complained to the general in his heart, and when he saw the person, he immediately turned into a grandson, and waited for the general to speak tremblingly.

Yin Chong looked at the carriage and then said to the plate: "Miss Li Er is beautiful and charming. I liked it very much when I met yesterday. So I went to Sheng's house to propose marriage and take her as a good concubine. Let's go, hurry up and hurry up and don't wait until the gate of Pingyang City is closed and can't get in."

When Panzi heard this, his dissatisfaction with the general was slightly alleviated. After all, as a general, he was not just a waste of sleep, but he still wanted to take responsibility.

In Panzi's heart, he felt that as Shaoyao, he could be a good concubine for the general, which was already a ancestral tomb, and it was much better than being an outdoor room for the master.

Panzi no longer felt sorry for the little beauty, he began to feel sorry for himself. The little beauty wanted to enjoy the happiness with the general, and the master lost the person and must punish him.

Along the way, the pan's mood reached the bottom.

Su Li sat in the car and began to prepare for another big show.

At sunset, the group rushed to Pingyang City as the city gate closed.

Sheng Family.

Last night, Sheng Yuanqing set a fire in the small courtyard where "Sheng Er Madam" lived. In addition to a dead body he pulled back from the mass grave, in order not to reveal the secret, Sheng Yuanqing burned to death with the Ya Po and the Ya Gu.

Sheng Yuanqing was a cruel and ruthless person from the beginning to the end. He flattered and gave gifts to officials who needed to make friends. For those who were less powerful than him, Sheng Yuanqing was the sky. Sheng Yuanqing was very kind and could not be used. Sheng Yuanqing would abandon his shoes as if he had worn out his shoes. He would spend a sum of silver to help the poor every year, but that was just to win the name of a good businessman. Only those who had been punished by him knew Sheng Yuanqing's true face.

The county magistrate sent a yamen run away for a formality and found out that Mrs. Sheng died of water because of the burning of the old lady Sheng in the middle of the night. The case was concluded and the Sheng family began to hold the funeral.

With money and easy to do, Sheng Yuanqing sent the corpses of the two loyal servants who died in order to save the Lord back to their respective homes, and gave them 100 taels of silver each, and received the kowtow from the two families. On the Sheng family, the burned corpse of the second wife Sheng was taken into the luxurious coffin bought by Sheng Yuanqing for a large sum of money, and was stopped in the spiritual Sheng family compound for seven days to receive commemoration from relatives and friends.

Sheng Yuanqing was famous. He sent people to spread the filial piety to Mrs. Sheng on the streets, and also praised his glorious funeral for this sister-in-law.

The Sheng family was busy for a day, and now it was getting dark. The first wave of relatives and friends who came to pay tribute to the news came home one after another, and only one wave of monks continued to recite scriptures and salvation at the Sheng family.

There was still paper money scattered in front of the Sheng family's door. Yin Chong frowned and sent the guards to knock on the door, asking who was dead in the Sheng family.

The guards do it.

The gatekeeper of the Sheng family saw that the guard was coming to ask about it. He looked at the plate of an acquaintance standing next to the carriage in confusion and replied honestly: "Last night, my second wife's house was in the room, and the second wife could not save her..."

After hearing this, the guards went back to Yin Chong.

Before Yin Hong could speak, a slender figure suddenly emerged from the carriage. She looked at her face full of tears and asked the guards in a trembling voice: "Say it again, who is dead?"

The guard looked at the general.

Yin Hong had already jumped off his horse and strode over to comfort Sister Sang's little beauty. Su Li had no idea. After getting off the carriage, she ran towards Sheng's family in dismay.

The servant who was guarding the door quickly sent someone to invite the master out.

Mrs. Sheng's coffin was placed in the Sheng family courtyard. Seeing the tablet of Mrs. Sheng's second son in front of the coffin, Su Li staggered onto the coffin and cried in great grief: "Sister, sister, why are you going like this? You sent Mr. Sheng to pick up your sister to accompany you, why don't you wait for me too much, and don't even meet me for the last time! Sister, my miserable sister, we are born on the same year, month and day, and look exactly the same. In order to support me, you have been a slave since childhood, but I rely on my sister to eat and drink for free. Sister, you are so good. If God wants to ask for his life, it is me who should ask for me, why should I take my sister away!"

Su Li cried so hard that her servants immediately understood her identity.

Although I have never heard of the second wife, Shaoyao, seeing that she looks so similar and crying so sadly, it should be true. It’s just that Shaoyao has never mentioned her sister to the people in the mansion.

Su Li kept crying and kept telling her sister's goodness. Sheng Yuanqing rushed over from the main room with suspicion. When he heard Su Li's crying in front of the second door, Sheng Yuanqing frowned. What was this peony doing? Why did she run back to Jincheng? And why did she make a fuss?

Sheng Yuanqing continued to walk out, and then he saw Yin Hong standing next to Shaoyao with a complicated expression.

Yin Hong didn't know who Sheng Yuanqing was. How could Sheng Yuanqing, a worldly businessman who was good at making friends with officials, not recognize Yin Hong, a local official? Once he and a friend in Jincheng were drinking tea in a teahouse. Yin Hong rode a horse and passed by the street. His friend pointed at the man on the horse and told him that he was the famous general. Sheng Yuanqing took a look and remembered Yin Hong from then on.

But Sheng Yuanqing pretended not to recognize him first. After introducing his identity from Panzi, Sheng Yuanqing went forward to salute Yin Chong: "The general is here, and the people are in absent and have been welcomed by the people."

Yin Chong squinted his eyes and looked at Sheng Yuanqing.

The little beauty kept calling him Master Sheng. Yin Chong imagined a wealthy businessman in his fifties. Now that he saw someone, Yin Chong realized that Master Sheng might only be three or four years older than him. He was gentle and elegant, but he had a bit of the demeanor of a civil servant.

Women are most likely to be deceived by men's appearance. Could it be that the little beauty has seen Mr. Sheng and refuses to believe that this person is a bad person?

In just one short time, Yin Chong thought a lot.

"Stop talking nonsense. I came here to discuss with the second wife of the mansion to take Miss Li Er as a concubine. This man lived a good life before, why did he die suddenly?"

When Sheng Yuanqing heard this, his heart turned around and his eyes turned to "Miss Li Er".

Su Li seemed to want to know the answer too. Her weak body lay on the coffin, and her eyes were red and tears were lit up at Sheng Yuanqing. Her beautiful eyes were filled with infinite sadness.

Yin Hong thought she was sad about her sister's death.

Sheng Yuanqing thought that Shaoyao was crying and wanted to break up the two of them. On the way to Jincheng, she was attracted by Yin Chong and forced to take her as a concubine. She had no choice but to act according to his arrangement.

After guessing the intention of Shaoyao, Sheng Yuanqing lowered his eyes and reinterpreted the cause of Mrs. Sheng's second wife's death in grief.

Sheng Yuanqing was meticulous. Since he wanted Shaoyao to pretend to die, he did this beautifully. All those who should be silenced were already silenced. Those who were alive were those who were snatched by him and would never betrayed. Unless someone asked the Jinyiwei from the capital to investigate the case, some clues might be found, otherwise no local officials could find out.

Yin Hong didn't care about the life or death of Mrs. Sheng. He was in a hurry to go back to Jincheng to do things and didn't have much time to delay in a businessman's house.

Yin Hong planned to propose a marriage and took the little beauty back to Jincheng to carry out the ceremony of taking a concubine. Now the little beauty's sister is dead...

Yin Hong looked at the little beauty.

Su Li leaned on the coffin and cried.

Sheng Yuanqing walked over and sighed and comforted, "Miss Licao, our Sheng family is sorry for the second wife. When the second wife was alive, she once told me and the old lady that she cared about the most was your sister. Now that the second wife is dead, the person she cannot let go of the most must be a girl. If Miss Licao does not dislike you, Sheng would like to accept you as her sister and take care of you on behalf of the second wife. After your filial piety period, he would take care of you and the general."

Su Li cried and her mouth buried under her sleeves rose sarcastically.

She knew that when Sheng Yuanqing found out that Yin Hong wanted to take her as a concubine, he might be reluctant, but he would not give up the great opportunity to make friends with Yin Hong for his own selfish desires.

Su Li did want to continue to use Sheng Yuanqing for a while to deepen Yin Hong's feelings for her. Now that she is humble, Yin Hong saw that she had only treated her for the first time, so she just wanted to take her as a concubine. After a long time, the relationship came out. Yin Hong's house had no wife. Su Li tried hard, maybe Yin Hong would be willing to marry her as a wife.

What's more, Su Li stayed in the Sheng family and could find ways to provoke Sheng Yuanqing and Sheng Zhongchang's father-son relationship, killing two birds with one stone.

"Thank you, Mr. Sheng, for your kindness, but I feel so uncomfortable now. Will you please tell me about these things later?" Su Li said whimperingly.

Sheng Yuanqing expressed his understanding and went back to entertain Yin Chong: "Sir, it's getting late, and sir, come from afar. How about staying in the house tonight?"

Yin Chong looked at Sheng Yuanqing with scrutiny.

Previously, Yin Hong had two guesses about Sheng Yuanqing's motives for taking care of the little beauty. One was that Sheng Yuanqing wanted to fatten the little beauty and sent it out to compete with the powerful in the future. The other was that Sheng Yuanqing himself wanted to take the little beauty as his concubine. Now Sheng Yuanqing quickly agreed to let the little beauty be his concubine, and he didn't look like a lustful person. Yin Hong chose the first guess.

Yin Hong did not want to cling to Sheng Yuanqing. The little beauty's surname was Li but Sheng. Since the second wife was dead, he didn't need Sheng Yuanqing's consent to take the little beauty as a concubine.

"Go and clean up the room." Yin Hong agreed to stay at Sheng's house tonight.

Sheng Yuanqing sent the general manager to make arrangements and specially reminded the butler to arrange the guest room of Licao and Yin Hong.

Now Yin Hong did not doubt that Sheng Yuanqing had the intention to possess the little beauty, but Yin Hong still did not like Sheng Yuanqing's character.

Sheng Yuanqing called two more maids and helped Su Li, who was crying, go to the guest room to change his clothes.

The three girls walked in front, and Sheng Yuanqing followed Yin Chong.

On the way, Sheng Yuanqing sighed at the pitiful life experiences of the two sisters, deepening Yin Hong's trust in this set of words, so as not to Yin Hong suspected that Li Cao and Shaoyao were the same person.

Yin Hong didn't think so much, and normal people wouldn't be so far away. Yin Hong was good at leading troops to fight, so he rarely bothered and didn't bother to think about the matters of the inner house.

When Su Li went to change her clothes, Sheng Yuanqing followed Yin Chong to the next room.

Yin Chong sat down to have tea, Sheng Yuanqing stood aside and asked in a low voice: "Sir, do you really want to take Li Cao as a concubine?"

Yin Chong stared at him: "What, can't you?"

Sheng Yuanqing shook his head and said, "Of course, it's just that according to the etiquette, Li Cao and his second wife are sisters. The second wife died. Li Cao should be a great achievement for nine months. He will not be allowed to get married within nine months. Therefore, he has to ask the adults to wait for another nine months and wait for Li Cao to stay for nine months before Cao people will handle the marriage matters for her."

Yin Chong sneered, "You don't have to bother with this. When the second wife is buried, I will take Li Cao to the General's Mansion to mourn."

Sheng Yuanqing sincerely considered him: "Sir, Caomin believes that he is kind-hearted, but Li Cao lives in the General's Mansion without any name. Gossip will inevitably spread outside. It doesn't matter if Li Cao's reputation is damaged, but he is afraid of implicating his reputation."

Yin Chong frowned when he thought of the group of censors in the capital who liked to impeach officials.

Sheng Yuanqing continued: "It would be better to let Caomin recognize Li Cao as his sister. Caomin will arrange for Li Cao to live in the house in Jincheng. When adults miss Li Cao, they just need to pretend to come to Caomin's house to drink. In this way, adults can meet Li Cao often and talk about the past, and can block the people's leisurely mouths from the outside. Why not do it?"

Although Yin Chong didn't like Sheng Yuanqing, he actually thought this method was good.
