Chapter 337, Assassination
After the marriage decree was issued, the entire Bo family began to get busy preparing a dowry for Shi Fuxin.
Shi Fuyin was worried that her sister would be underestimated after marrying into the palace, so she selected a lot of valuables from the warehouse of Duke Anguo's mansion and shipped them to Shi's house to add makeup to Shi Fuxin.
"Sister, you gave me so many things, brother-in-law, do you have any objections?"
Shi Fuyin smiled and said: "You can take it with peace of mind, I have discussed it with your brother-in-law, and he is very supportive."
Hearing this, Shi Fuxin was no longer polite. Although she was not short of money, she couldn't buy some things with money, and she didn't have time to collect them.
Shi Fuxin asked An Ran to put away her things, and when she turned her head, she saw her sister looking at her worriedly: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" Thinking of the day when the Empress Dowager left her sister and husband behind on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, she immediately asked, "But Mrs. The empress dowager has opinions on my marriage with Chu Yao, is it embarrassing for you?"
Shi Fuyin shook her head, and took her sister to sit down: "As long as the Anguo government doesn't get involved in the fight for succession, the empress dowager won't ask too much."
"only."
Shi Fuxin: "Just what?"
Shi Fuyin showed worry: "The empress dowager told me something about Prince Rong's mansion, which made me feel very worried." She reached out and stroked her younger sister's forehead, "I'm afraid your life will be difficult if you marry into the mansion. It's going to be hard."
Shi Fuxin laughed: "It doesn't matter who is having a hard time, your sister and I are not a coward who will be bullied."
Seeing her sister's heartless and disapproving look, Shi Fuyin became even more worried: "Marrying into her husband's family and staying at her mother's house are two completely different lives."
Shi Fuxin stretched out her index finger and shook it: "No, no, no, my life will not change drastically due to the change of the environment. Even if there is some difference, it is because of my own initiative."
As she spoke, she smiled and took Shi Fuyin's hand, "Sister, keep your heart in your belly, I didn't marry to fight with my in-laws."
"After I marry Chu Yao, there will be Chu Yao in town, and the preparations for Hongyanxiao to open stores in various provincial capitals will start. There are a lot of things inside, and I am too busy to be too busy, so I don't bother to talk to people in the palace. Woolen cloth."
"If there are people who don't know what to do, I have plenty of ways to deal with them."
Shi Fuxin looked at Shi Fuyin with a smile: "Sister, do you think I picked Chu Yao's hydrangea casually?"
Shi Fuyin glanced at her younger sister: "Sister knows that you value Chu Yao's appearance, so I am not surprised that you catch hydrangeas."
Shi Fuxin had a black line on her head: "Sister, in your heart, am I a womanizer?"
Shi Fuyin returned a look of "Isn't it?"
Shi Fuxin didn't want to talk anymore.
"Sister, let me tell you the truth, although my marriage has been decided a bit anxiously because of that **** prince, I still have selection criteria."
"Chu Yao's hardware conditions actually meet my requirements for my husband. If he doesn't meet my standards, no matter how good-looking he is, I won't pick up his hydrangea."
Shi Fuyin didn't want her sister to take it lightly, so she told her: "In short, after marrying into the palace, you still have to restrain your temper."
Shi Fuxin: "If people don't offend me, I won't offend them. As long as they don't mess with me, I will naturally get along with them."
Among the busy preparations for the dowry, the time has come to June.
The sixth day of June is the birthday of Shi Fuxin and Shi Dinghao. This year, they will be seventeen years old.
On this day, Chu Yao, as a future son-in-law, went to the gate of Wuchangbo Mansion for the first time.
During the three months since Chu Yao took over the Supervision Department, many people were startled by the fierce methods and case-handling capabilities that Chu Yao showed, and he said that he had misjudged before.
The uncle, second master, and third master of the Shi family who were of the same generation as Shi Fuxin were all older than Chu Yao, but when they came in front of Chu Yao, the three of them did not dare to show their uncle's lineage. Only Shi Dinghao dared to fight with Chu Yao. A few jokes.
"Girl, this is from my uncle."
An Ran entered the room holding a pot of jade-carved pomegranate bonsai.
When Mother Leng saw An Ran coming in with a pomegranate bonsai, her girl's gaze was fixed on it, and there was a tenderness in her eyes that she had never seen before. She knew that this gift from Third Young Master Yao was better than all the things that Master Fan Xiaohou gave. , should be more in line with her girl's wishes.
Receiving a gift certainly makes people happy, but how long this happiness can last depends on whether the gift has been delivered to the other party's heart.
Before, everyone thought that Master Fan's gracious gift to the girl was a sign of respect for the girl, but this respect did not win the girl's heart.
Because the gift didn’t go to the girl’s heart, but it was Master Fan who thought it was good, so he let someone buy it without thinking about whether the girl liked it or not. There was some concern for the girl, but not much.
It's the third son Yao
Pomegranate means many children and many blessings; when her girl’s surname is six, outsiders call her Shiliu girl.
Six pomegranates at the same time, both implied and showed importance. If she was a girl, she would like this gift more.
Chu Yao was busy with work, and was about to leave after lunch. Before leaving, Shi Dinghao took him to the Chuihuamen, and met Shi Fuxin.
"I like the gift you gave me very much, thank you."
Seeing that Shi Fuxin came to him just to thank him, Chu Yao was really surprised: "It's just a jade bonsai picked at random, so you don't need to make a special trip."
Shi Fuxin blinked her eyes, and looked straight at Chu Yao: "You really just picked it randomly?" She looked very concerned.
Looking at Shi Fuxin's eyes full of his own figure, Chu Yao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, quickly looked away, and didn't say that he carved the bonsai himself.
Shi Fuxin saw it, and said again: "If your pomegranate bonsai is specially selected by you, I will be more happy."
Accustomed to getting along with Shi Fuxin on a business-like basis, suddenly faced with Shi Fuxin's unreserved emotional expression, the object is still himself, Chu Yao didn't know how to respond for a while, in order to cover up his embarrassment: "I still have something to do, I really want to gone."
Looking at Chu Yao's fleeing back, Shi Fuxin covered her face with a fan and let out a 'poof' laugh.
Chu Yao is so innocent!
An Ran was a little helpless watching from the side: "Girl, restrain yourself a little bit, it looks like you scared my uncle away."
Shi Fuxin: "I'm changing clothes and dressing up, isn't it just to cultivate a relationship with Chu Yao in advance, of course I have to express my feelings truly."
An Ran wanted to cover her head: "But what if my uncle thinks you are not dignified?"
Shi Fuxin pursed her lips and smiled: "I don't think I'm happy because of the gift he sent, he will be unhappy."
When An Ran heard this, her eyelids twitched violently, girls are always so unique.
In mid-June, Shi Fuxin went out of the city to inspect the raw materials purchased by Hongyanxiao. Not long after she came out of Zhuangzi, she noticed that someone was following her.
Scanned with mental power, good guy, more than a dozen men in black ambushed on both sides of the official road, all holding cold long knives in their hands.
This is the rhythm to kill her!
Shi Fuxin squinted her eyes. Even though she kept a low profile, she still caused a fatal disaster.
Who sent it?
Prince?
Or the fourth prince?
Shi Fuxin lifted the curtain of the car, put her arms across the window sill, tapped lightly, and told the driver: "Shi Yi, Shi Er, go back by the path."
Shi Yi and Shi Er are two ninth-rank masters who follow Shi Fuxin from Mr. Xiang's group. On weekdays, when Shi Fuxin goes out, they are the drivers. People are in charge.
Hearing Shi Fuxin's order, the two of them didn't ask any questions, and directly drove the carriage out of the official road and ran onto the path.
In the carriage, Xiaofang was a little puzzled: "Girl, why did you take the path?"
Shi Fuxin smiled lightly: "The scenery on the path is beautiful."
Xiaofang still didn't understand, but she didn't ask further.
Not long after, the carriage drove into a woods.
As soon as they entered the woods, Shi Yi Shi Er's face became tense, just about to remind Shi Fuxin who was in the carriage, when Shi Fuxin said: "Don't worry about it, just keep going."
As soon as Shi Yishi Er heard this, Shi Yishi Er knew that Shi Fuxin had also sensed the danger, looked around vigilantly, and continued to drive the carriage.
Xiaofang drew out the soft sword at her waist.
Soon, the branches swayed, and more than a dozen men in black rushed out at the same time, directly towards the carriage to assassinate.
Shi Yishi turned himself over, drew his sword from under the carriage, and met the man in black at the same time as Xiaofang who flew out of the carriage.
With less against more, Xiaofang and the three stopped the man in black, and it was quite easy.
The man in black is only a rank nine warrior, and the others are all rank seven or eight.
Seeing that Xiaofang and the other three were so powerful, the ninth-rank man in black was a little surprised. Realizing that the situation was not good, he turned around and was about to flee, but before he could take two steps, a leaf slipped across his neck and fell to the ground.
After a quarter of an hour, all the men in black were eliminated.
"Miss, I have asked, these people are sent by the second son of Prince Rong's mansion."
"who?!"
Shi Fuxin was surprised.
Shi Yi said again: "It's Chu Zhao, the second son of Prince Rong's residence."
Shi Fuxin frowned, knowing that Prince Rong's Mansion is not a good place, but she never thought that she was sent to kill her before she was married.
"Go and find out if there are tokens from the palace on them."
Soon, Shi Er took out a waist card from the ninth-rank man in black, with the character 'Zhao' engraved on it.
Shi Fuxin looked at the waist badge in her hand, and said with a sneer, "How much do you look down on me, that you wear such an obvious waist badge."
Stone and stone did not speak.
Is the second son of Prince Rong's Mansion careless?
Not necessarily.
For a boudoir girl, sending a ninth-rank and several seventh- and eighth-ranks to surround and kill at the same time is considered very important.
It's just that the second son probably didn't expect the sixth girl to be so powerful.
Xiao Fang became angry and anxious: "Girl, this Prince Rong's residence is too bullying, you must tell my uncle about this, and he has to give you an explanation."
Shi Fuxin put away her badge: "Since it's aimed at me, then it's my business, my business, I'll take care of it naturally."
Looking at Shi Yi and Shi Er, "Deal with these people, and don't let people find our traces."
Shi Yi Shi Er went to work, but Xiao Fang was still very angry: "Miss, are you really not telling my uncle?"
Shi Fuxin said indifferently: "Tell Chu Yao, can he kill Chu Zhao? I haven't married into the palace yet, and it caused Chu Yao and Chu Zhao brothers to turn against each other. I don't know what will happen to them, but I'm afraid It’s going to be branded as a disaster.”
"Don't worry about today's matter, just take it easy in the future."
Prince Rong's Mansion
Chu Zhao waited all night and didn't wait for the hidden guard killer sent out, so he was in a bad mood.
Shizheng and his family were both rank-9 masters, he was already very cautious, and sent a rank-9, several rank-8, and rank-7, even if Fuxin was rank-9 at that time, it was enough to kill her.
But the hidden guards haven't come back yet, I'm afraid it's too bad.
The Beiyan Mission is about to arrive in Beijing. If Shi Fuxin is not dead, her marriage with Chu Yao will have to continue, and Chu Yao will not marry Princess Beiyan. In this case, how can he take over the Supervision Department?
As for whether the emperor will let him take over the supervisory department, Chu Zhao doesn't care. Anyway, as long as Chu Yao marries Princess Beiyan, the emperor will definitely reward Prince Rong's mansion. With his father's love for him, he will definitely get it for him. A nice job.
But the assassination failed, which made Chu Zhao extremely annoyed.
"Second Master, the prince is looking for you."
Hearing the servant's call, Chu Zhao calmed down in a hurry, and hurried to see King Rong.
