The Peasant Girl's Glory

Chapter 279 Discovery
Taoyao left the dark room, returned to the room, and then pressed the switch, the red sandalwood bookshelves separated from the middle were neatly closed again, and the hidden door hidden on the back wall was slowly closed at the same time.

She walked a few steps slowly and called out in a loud voice. Immediately, a maid opened the door and walked around the screen in front of the door, "Princess."

Taoyao pointed to the dirty clothes that Yan Fengzhu had taken off before, and then threw the curtain cap into the maid's arms, saying:
"Let someone put on this dress, take the curtain out of the Princess Mansion, walk around the most lively North Street, and then leave the city..."

The maid listened carefully, agreed, and then turned to leave.

Watching her leave, Taoyao turned around and sat in front of the table, her eyes lowered and she pondered.

After a while, she spread out a piece of rice paper, then pressed the corner with a paperweight, dipped it in the wolf's hair, and slowly began to draw a brush, drawing a picture of Danqing.

In the painting is a slender woman wearing a white curtain hat, which is exactly the appearance of Yan Fengzhu she found from a slave trader.

After painting, she nodded with satisfaction, got up and walked out of the study quickly.

……

The sky is like a canvas infested with ink, pitch black, and night falls.

Two tall sweet-scented osmanthus trees were already in full bloom in the courtyard of the Princess Mansion. One was an orange-red osmanthus, and the other was a petite and delicate milky white osmanthus.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, and countless delicate petals fell from the tree.

A pair of feet just trampled on the petals, and the petals that were originally charming were buried in the ground, and the flower juice splashed around, which was as pitiful as blood.

Xiao Junyan walked quickly in the courtyard of the Princess Mansion, passed through the Moon Gate, passed the long Chasing Corridor, turned around the red sandalwood inlaid marble peony stone screen, and arrived at the study.

The door of the room was ajar, and he hesitated for a moment while standing outside the threshold, but still reached out and pushed the door open and stepped in.

There was no one in the house.

He turned around and was about to leave when a rustling sound suddenly sounded in the silence, as if a person was struggling.

Immediately, the sound disappeared, and everything was silent, as if the sound just now was not real, but an illusion.

Xiao Junyan frowned suspiciously, looked around the room, and finally landed on the red sandalwood bookshelf in the deepest part against the wall.

He slowly paced to the front of the bookshelf, his eyes swept over the neatly arranged books, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, as if he was a little puzzled.

Then he reached out and pulled out a heavy scroll, turned it over and glanced at it, and glanced at the wall behind the bookshelf through the space.

He couldn't help but take two steps closer and was about to lean over to touch the wall when a condensed voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"What are you doing? Who let you in?"

He looked back, and saw his princess lady, the feisty woman, standing at the door.

The incense burner placed in the corner of the house was bubbling with blue smoke, like a dream, making her outside the door look unattainable.

Xiao Junyan glanced at her face like nothing, smiled sarcastically, and then threw the scroll in his hand back to the bookshelf:

"I'm a concubine, do I still need to report to others if I want to enter the princess' mansion?"

"Consort?"

Taoyao gave a cold snort and walked straight into the room, her beautiful eyebrows were indifferent like water, and she had a sense of alienation and majesty that made it difficult to approach:
"Xiao Junyan, what do you want to do?"

Xiao Junyan looked at her lightly, an emotion flashed in his eyes, his originally calm expression gradually cooled down, he stepped up, and his tall body gradually approached Taoyao:

"Since the princess is unwell, she should stay in the Hou residence to recover from her illness. Why did she leave the residence again?"

Hearing this, Taoyao's eyes flashed with disdain. The reason why Xiao Junyan's mother and son prevented her from going out of the mansion was not because she wanted to gradually fade out of the public's sight in the name of her ill health, and then let her die silently in the backyard of the Hou mansion. .

At that time, Xiao Junyan can justifiably marry another wife and take a concubine.

"This princess is in good health, why is there anything wrong with me?"

Taoyao's voice was warm, but her tone was like the mountain stream in early spring. Looking at the warmth, she noticed that it was icy cold:
"It's you, the concubine. You should pay more attention to your body. Wouldn't it be a pity if you die suddenly one day?"

Xiao Junyan squinted his eyes, his eyebrows were sullen, and his tone contained anger, "Yan Fengzhu, are you making up your mind to fight against me?"

After a long while, he said in a low voice again: "You know, if this step is wrong, there will be no turning back."

Taoyao chuckled lightly, "Why do you have to look back? I just like going all the way to the dark."

"you!"

Xiao Junyan frowned, just as he was about to get angry, he turned to think of something, he took a deep breath, calmed his tone and said to Taoyao:
"Princess, you and I have been married for several years, and we have had a good relationship, but you don't care about this relationship?"

Taoyao sneered and mocked:

"Love? Your love is to trap me in the back house, grit your teeth and endure your mother's difficulties?"

Xiao Junyan's face was extremely ugly when he heard the words. His mother, Mrs. Zhang, did make things difficult for her because she did not agree with him taking a concubine, but she was tricked by her every time.

The mother cried to him several times for this, and asked him to come forward and teach her a lesson.

Before she could settle the account with her, she asked Xingshi, who was the first to sue the villain, to ask for the guilt.

Xiao Junyan's face was sullen, and those silk-thin lips were pursed tightly:

"When did your mother really embarrass you? Besides, she is your mother-in-law and an elder, so it doesn't matter how much you let her.

It's you, isn't it good to enjoy the Yonghua life of brocade clothes and jade food in peace?Why did the whole Houfu feel uneasy because of one person? "

Taoyao was unmoved, and asked in a meaningful way, "I don't do anything, can you really let me enjoy Yonghua's life at ease?"

Xiao Junyan pursed her lips, and after all, she was defeated under her gaze.

If he hadn't had this marriage with her, he probably wouldn't have gotten to where he is today, but he couldn't keep her.

He joined King Xian, but she was the younger sister of the crown prince. Even without Xiao Tianmo's presence, he and she would not be able to be a long-term husband and wife.

After a long time, Xiao Junyan said lightly:
"I've said all of this, if you can't go back to the manor, you can figure it out for yourself."

After saying that, he turned and left the house.

The moment he left the room, the sneer on Taoyao's face disappeared completely and was replaced by hideous:

"It's really disgusting. It's obviously an evil ghost walking in the world in human skin, but he has to pretend to be sane."

If she hadn't figured out something, it would be useful to keep him, and she wouldn't let him see the sun tomorrow.

But she still has to go back to the ghost place of the Marquis of Zhenguo. The things she wants to do have not been completed, so she must not make mistakes in trivial matters.

Thinking of this, Taoyao glanced at the wall behind the bookshelf, turned and walked out of the room, clapped her hands and called a few guards, and indifferently ordered:

"You are here, no one can enter without my permission."

"Yes!"

The guards took orders and stood upright in front of the door, a posture that was unmoved by wind and lightning.
