Once the Crown Prince Joins In

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

It's easy to talk about money. Do you think I am short of money? Su Xinyi said with a smile. New 69 Book Bar→69𝓼𝓱𝓾𝔁.𝓬𝓸𝓶

Young master, please don't talk nonsense. This man must not be judged by his appearance. Not long ago, there was someone who claimed to be the Duke of the country. He was thrown out because he owed money. The old man said, leaning against the wall with his hands folded.

When Su Xinyi heard that there was an answer, There's not a lot of people around this early in the morning. I'll eat something to fill my stomach first. We can discuss business after you're full.

The old man looked at the white bun handed to him by the noble young man opposite him. He grabbed it without being polite and stuffed it into his mouth. Several black fingerprints were instantly left on the snow-white bun.

Ordinary people would have turned around and left in disgust, but Su Xinyi was different. For country people, this kind of scene was not uncommon. Many people who had no food at home were reduced to beggars, and they didn't care about washing their hands and cleansing their faces.

While eating the buns, the old man secretly looked at the expression of the young master in front of him, and found that she didn't have any dislike at all, which made him unsure of where he was coming from.

After eating a big bun, Su Xinyi handed him another bowl of steaming mutton soup, Take a sip of the soup to wash it down. There are not enough people here in the morning. It seems that everyone prefers to come in the evening. By the way, before you What's going on with the Duke? Dad, you have to make a draft when you brag. Which family has a Duke whose family is not rich in gold and silver? How many bets can he be thrown out if he doesn't have money?

The old man took a sip of the mutton soup. It tasted authentic. The young man bought it from an old store. He was quite honest and didn't know what information he wanted to find out.

What's so bragging about this kind of thing? You see, the young master is well-raised at home. The things happening outside are not what you can see. The old man took another sip of soup, and he drank a bowl of soup so early in the morning. Belly, that’s called comfort.

Which country's prince is so careless? Come and tell me. I will also learn a lot.

Who else can it be? It's not the one from the Duke of Qin's mansion.

As expected, it was the Duke of Qin. Su Xinyi's eyes flashed.

Really? Su Xinyi looked surprised. No way, my neighbor's cousin's sister-in-law's cousin is an aunt in the Duke's Mansion. Why have I never heard such news? Don't lie to me.

What do your relatives who have turned a few corners know? The old man sneered, If you don't believe it, just go ahead and turn the corner. Turn right to the largest Futai Casino, the one where it was thrown out. There were quite a few people who saw it at that time, and they will know it as soon as they inquire about it. What can I lie to you about?

It turns out it's true. Please forgive me for what I said. I'm curious. Dad, why do you think he, a Duke of the country, has no money and is thrown out? The Duke of Qin's mansion is a famous noble family. Don't tell me. The family has a huge wealth, which is almost the same. How can we still lack this little money? Su Xinyi asked with a puzzled look.

Young Master, how can there be so many reasons for this man to be walking outside. The old man drank the last mouthful of soup. For the sake of the bowl of soup, he added another sentence, Some people like money, some people like power. Some people like Sister Yao to be able to warm the bed, so the Duke of Qin’s mansion has a lot of things that people care about, don’t you think so?”

Su Xinyi's heart trembled. It was just like what Su Baiwei said. Someone deliberately set a trap for Qin Guogong. It seemed that there was indeed something wrong with the salt merchant.

They used a beauty trick to lure the Duke of Qin to raise a concubine, and let the concubine lead him to the gambling table. I am afraid that what the salt merchant was plotting might not just be the identity of a noble concubine beside Shi Zhongqian.

For the sake of being a noble concubine, it is worth spending such a high price to devise such a plan. I'm afraid I won't be able to get back the capital.

Businessmen are the most shrewd, and they clearly plan for gains and losses. If there are no very profitable benefits, they will not bother to plan like this.

Su Xinyi thought that this was definitely not a matter of concubine, but maybe there was someone else behind it or something she didn't know about.

Su Xinyi chatted with the old man for a long time, and not only found out where Qin Guogong went to the gambling table, but also found out where the beauty Qin Guogong raised outside lived.

Su Xinyi squatted in the corner all morning. When he got the news, he stood up and said goodbye. The old man looked at him in surprise, Don't you want to buy the news? Why don't you leave if you don't buy it?

Su Xinyi made a sad look on her face, I have been talking to my father-in-law for a long time. What you said makes perfect sense. People like me should stay away from right and wrong. I think I have to listen to you. New 69 Book Bar → 69𝙨𝙝𝙪𝙭 .𝙘𝙤𝙢”

When the old man heard this, his face immediately darkened, and the smile on his face was a bit ferocious.

When Su Xinyi saw that the old man was angry, she squatted back and said sincerely: You are old, so don't hang around here. How about I find a place for you?

Gungun, don't be angry with me here. Old man, I've been begging for food all my life. You want me to change my career. There's no way. The old man impatiently wanted to drive him away.

Su Xinyi said cheerfully: It doesn't matter if you don't leave. I'll come and chat with you when I have time. I quite like chatting with you.

Old man:......

Isn't it a good idea to use a lot of force on a sheep?

What's your surname? Su Xinyi asked again, I can't come to see you and call you my father-in-law. Wouldn't this be a waste of our friendship this morning?

I am a beggar, why should I have a noble surname, Zeng Liang? The old man lowered his head and said, Let's go quickly, I will be upset when I see you. I haven't earned any money, and my whole morning was wasted.

Su Xinyi clicked his tongue and said, I don't have any money, so I'll leave now.

Zeng Liang watched Su Xinyi walk away and leaned against the wall to bask in the rising sun, squinting his eyes and humming an unknown tune while shaking his head.

Several young beggars in the distance did not dare to come over after seeing this scene. The younger one said: Brother Tian Zao, Master Zeng was deceived by that pretty boy, right? This is the first time that someone has been able to deceive Master Zeng. sharp.

The older boy Tian Zao held grass in his mouth and snorted, That's not necessarily true. I think that old man probably pretended to be like this on purpose. After saying this, he looked at the person and said, Datong, don't If you don’t think you have any, let’s go get some food and come back.”

Bao Datong immediately obeyed and went to find something to eat. However, Tian Zao thought about it and got up and followed Su Xinyi. He followed her from a distance and watched her enter the largest restaurant in Qingjinfang. He waited outside for a short while and then I saw her come out again, carrying a large three-layer food box with the waiter behind her.

Tian Zao saw that Su Xinyi had walked away, so he did not follow him this time. Instead, he went to the back door of the restaurant and quickly found out the news. The pretty boy had ordered three meals for Master Zeng at the restaurant for a year!

Tian Zao walked back thoughtfully, and when he returned to the place he always brought, he saw in front of Master Zeng the large food box from the restaurant he had seen before.

He slowly squatted down against the wall, and for some reason he remembered the scene where the young master was joking with Master Zeng.

Here, Su Xinyi received the information from Zeng Liang, and soon went to the house of Chu Yingying, the outer concubine of Qin Guogong. He visited it carefully and carefully inquired about the details of Chu Yingying from the surrounding residents.

Su Xinyi dressed up as a man and looked like a handsome young man with red lips and white teeth. She was most liked by the middle-aged women. In addition, she grew up in the countryside and knew how to deal with these people. She quickly learned the news she wanted.

Chu Yingying doesn't go out on weekdays, and people who live here rarely see her. But every few days, someone dressed like a housekeeper will come to her. According to a piece of information accidentally revealed by the driver of the car, , the mother in charge is a slave of a merchant family.

This news is right, it should be the salt merchant Zeng Liang mentioned.

Su Xinyi had a clue in her heart and left without staying long.

It would be best to get evidence of Chu Yingying's dealings with the salt merchants, which could prove that they were a den of snakes and rats. However, they were cautious about their dealings, so they had to find a way to explore Liu Yingying's house.

She definitely couldn't do it alone, so it seemed like she really asked her eldest brother to help.

As for how to coax Liu Yingying out of the house, there was no way to coax Liu Yingying out of the house. She was in an outer room and could not see the light. Su Xinyi had a good idea.

There is also a gambling house. It would be best if you can get the IOU for the money that Qin Guogong lost in gambling. The IOU signed in your own hand is of course a sure proof.

However, forcing yourself into a gambling house is not a good idea, so you have to think of other ideas.

Qingjinfang is a gold-selling cave, where there are many brothels, gambling houses, teahouses, restaurants and other places on the street.

At this time, before noon, people were already coming and going, rubbing shoulders with each other. At night, the place was full of entertainment, people were drunk, people were eating, drinking and gambling. No matter how much money you had, you would end up shaking it all here.

The court's control over gambling houses was not that strict, and large gambling houses like Futai Gambling House, in order to cope with court inspections, usually opened tea shops or restaurants downstairs, and the gambling houses were upstairs.

The regular customers of the gambling house go straight upstairs after entering. Generally, individual customers usually order a pot of tea or eat some food and wine on the first floor, and then go upstairs to start gambling after asking around.

Anyone who can open a gambling house has no one behind him.

Otherwise, how could ordinary gambling houses dare to join forces with others to set up a trap on Qin Guogong?

Su Xinyi was sitting in the tea shop on the first floor of Futai Casino drinking tea at this time. She had a seat by the window and a pot of good tea. She listened to the voices coming from the table from time to time. Occasionally she would chat with people. Find out what you want to know.

For example, let’s find out what the background of the owner of Futai Casino is.

Halfway through the tea, I saw another wave of people coming in at the door, all carrying swords and wearing official uniforms. The leader, Su Xinyi, was very familiar.

Yang Jin.

Yang Jin walked in grandly and was about to call the shopkeeper, but when he glanced around, he saw Su Xinyi drinking tea with a contented look.

Although she wore men's clothes, tied her hair in a bun, and had some changes to her facial features, Yang Jin was so familiar with her that he still recognized her.

This is a bit scary.

Miss Su Liu was wearing men's clothes and actually sitting in a gambling house drinking tea. If anyone found out, they would drown her in saliva!

Su Xinyi also felt that the passing years were unlucky. Why did he meet Yang Jin again? Yang Jin is the personal bodyguard of the Crown Prince. If he appears here, is His Highness the Crown Prince also nearby?

Su Xinyi immediately pretended not to see Yang Jin, stood up and wanted to leave.

It's nothing to fight. If a girl learns some kung fu, it's not something that can't be said.

But entering a gambling house is not a good thing. She can't just come up to the prince and explain why I appear in the gambling house, right?

Unexpectedly, as soon as she stood up and before she even raised her feet, she saw His Royal Highness the Crown Prince walking in from the outside with his hands behind his back.

Today, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wearing a white robe, and his natural aura of heaven and man, now in this hustle and bustle of the city, his cold jade-like face is even more highlighted, as if he is melting snow, unattainable.

Su Xinyi felt a little panicked for no reason. No, why was she panicking?

Can a prince take advantage of his beauty to commit murder if he is good-looking?

Su Xinyi cheered herself up. She rolled her eyes, thinking about how to sneak away quietly. Who knew that the prince turned his head and looked straight at her.

Su Xinyi:......

Do you have the eye for storms?

Su Xinyi tried her best to give the prince a generous smile, but as she watched the prince walk towards her step by step, the footsteps sounded like his heart beating on a drum, each sound faster than the last.

Su Xinyi couldn't even maintain her smile. When the prince walked in front of her, she subconsciously took a step back.

This retreat was like showing weakness, and Su Xinyi felt that he was mentally retarded.

What are you afraid of?

Yan Junchu pointed to the stool, and Su Xinyi immediately sat down obediently.

After sitting down, his face turned dark.

Yan Junchu sat down opposite her and asked for a pot of tea.

Su Xinyi looked at the other party suspiciously, and decided to take the initiative to speak, Why is Your Highness here?

Over there, Yang Jin was already talking to the shopkeeper. He didn't know what he said, but the shopkeeper didn't look very good.

Su Xinyi withdrew her gaze and listened to the prince say: I'm here to investigate the case, why is Miss Six here? This kind of place... is not where you come.

What a coincidence, I'm also checking something. Su Xinyi tried her best to maintain her smile and said, she didn't feel guilty, she had serious business. I didn't expect to meet His Highness here.

Yan Junchu lowered his eyes slightly, fumbled for the tea cup in his hand, and said unhurriedly, No matter what the investigation is, this kind of place is not the place for a girl to come.

What His Highness said is that I will take my leave now and do not dare to disturb His Highness's official duties. Su Xinyi stood up, gave a salute, and strode away.

Yan Junchu turned his head and looked at Su Xinyi's leaving figure, as if he was unhappy.

Su Xinyi felt unlucky as she walked on the street. Forget it, she wouldn't have much interaction with His Highness the Crown Prince in the future anyway, so it was just a shame to be embarrassed.

Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered what happened to Wu Shun last time. He hasn't been released yet, so he is probably still being investigated.

Wu Shun is implicated in Prince Dongli's palace, and I don't know what's going to happen with Princess Dongli. Go back and ask your elder brother, he will definitely know.

The prince also said that he wanted to ask for credit from his eldest brother, but he probably had to wait until the matter was cleared up.

I hope that when the eldest brother can be promoted to a higher level, everyone will be happy, and the eldest sister's divorce will not make everyone so sad.

Su Yi was on duty today and went out early in the morning. Su Xinyi didn't find him when she returned home, but her sister-in-law Zeng saw her and stopped her with a smile, Sixth sister, I went there this morning and didn't find you. I happened to have something. I have something to tell you.”

Sister-in-law, what's the matter? Su Xinyi hurriedly stopped and asked.

Mrs. Zeng walked over quickly, looked at Su Xinyi and said, Your eldest brother asked me to tell you before he went out this morning that when he comes back to see you and has something to say, you should wait for him.

Su Xinyi's eyes lit up, guessing that it might be Wu Shun's fault, I know, sister-in-law.

I happened to go back to my parents' home when you went to the Duke of Qin's Palace this time. I didn't expect you to do such a big thing. If I knew that the people in the Duke of Qin's Palace were so shameless, I would not go back to my parents' home with you. Mrs. Zeng did not rush. I felt quite sorry because she was the eldest sister-in-law after all.

Sister-in-law, don't say that. None of us could have known that something like this would happen. Su Xinyi knew that Mrs. Zeng was a considerate person, and the eldest lady was not very satisfied with her, so she didn't want to make any mistakes in the house. Now When eldest sister comes back, there will be a lot of trouble for eldest sister-in-law in the future.

Mrs. Zeng sighed, Sister Jun, what a wonderful child. Fortunately, she is back.

Yeah, I'm glad I'm back. Su Xinyi also felt lucky. If she struggled in the quagmire of Qin's palace like she did in her previous life, she really couldn't imagine what would happen.

Seeing that the sixth sister looked a little tired, Mrs. Zeng immediately said, You must be tired just after you came back from outside. Go back and rest quickly.

Su Xinyi nodded, Then I'll go back first. If my sister-in-law needs my help with anything, just ask the girl to send a message.

Okay, I understand, go ahead. Zeng said with a smile.

She originally had a good impression of Sixth Sister, but this time her husband said that because Sixth Sister showed her face in front of His Majesty the Crown Prince and was given a credit, she liked Sixth Sister even more.

Su Xinyi returned to her yard. Forsythia was sewing under the eaves. When she saw her, she stood up immediately and said, The girl is back.

Su Xinyi nodded and entered the door, Is there nothing going on today?

While Forsythia helped the girl change, she said, Madam returned to Gaofu today and will probably be back before dinner. Delphinium followed Grandma She to tailor clothes for the girl. Someone from the fourth girl's side invited the girl to come over for tea. The girl has gone out today, and my servant will come back for you.

Su Xinyi nodded, washed her hands and then sat down, listening to Forsythia ask: It's past dinner time, has the girl eaten? If not, I will go to the kitchen now.

Let's make something simple. I'm not too hungry. Just take a bite. Su Xinyi said casually.

Although Forsythia nodded, how could the girl make do with the food? She went to the kitchen and seriously ordered two dishes, one soup, and a bowl of thin noodles.

Su Xinyi sat down to eat. While eating, she was thinking about today's events. She was a little strange. What could the prince find out when he went to the gambling house?

Isn't he investigating a murder case now?

Could it be related to the murder case?

There was something fishy behind the Wushun murder case, and it also involved the Dongli Palace. Su Xinyi felt that his brain was not strong enough. How could he start over again? It seemed like a lot of things had happened.

Another thing she was curious about was, didn't Shang Junyan support King Rong? Why have so many things happened recently? His career as an official was very smooth in his previous life, and he should know a lot more things than she does. Why haven't you heard of him helping King Rong to climb up?

This isn't quite right.

With his die-hard loyalty to King Rong, shouldn't he use his prophet to make King Rong more successful than in his previous life?

There was also the matter of the Princess of Pingjing County looking at each other. She forgot about it in a hurry. It was impossible to send the message through the Duke of Qin, so she had to think of other ways.

Su Xinyi had a headache thinking about it. She really didn't want to think about Shang Junyan and anything related to him. Forget it, as long as everyone was in peace, it was his business to do what he wanted to do.

***

At this time, Shang Junyan, who was being talked about by Su Xinyi, was in a bad mood. He was standing outside the window, listening to his mother and sister talk about Su Xinyi.

Since Shang Congqing was humiliated by Su Xinyi last time, he couldn't help but mention it to his mother when he returned to his parents' home. The princess of Pingjing County was naturally unhappy.

When Shang Junyan came over, he was listening to the eldest sister saying to his mother: Mom, you didn't see the arrogance of that little hoof, and you forced Jun Yan to apologize to her. How could she have such a face as a country girl? When a villain gets his way, he becomes rampant.

There is also such a thing. Your brother never said a word when he came back. Princess Pingjing County's face was naturally not good-looking, Since the death of Fourth Master Su, the Duke of Qi's palace has really become more and more difficult to bring back a child. I don’t know what I’m thinking when I let him out to be embarrassed instead of teaching me a good lesson.”

Anyway, I see that Su Xinyi is not a good person. Anyway, you have to tell Jun Yan to stay away from her. That little foxy girl is flirting with others on the polo field just because of her pretty face...

Sister! What are you talking nonsense about? Shang Junyan couldn't listen anymore, threw up the curtain and entered the door with a dark face.

Shang Congqing was startled by his younger brother's yelling. He was caught talking behind someone's back. Anyone else would have died of embarrassment. Shang Congqing didn't take it seriously. He looked at his younger brother and said, What I said is wrong. Princess Runyi also came on stage, how could it be that she was deliberately trying to show off, instead of hooking up with others? Didn't she do this to attract everyone's attention? After all, she was from the countryside, so she actually made her These despicable methods.”

These words were too familiar. In his previous life, his eldest sister often said such words in his ears.

They always say that Su Xinyi is not good and that is not good, using her background as an excuse.

It's just that he often went out on business at that time, and he didn't know Su Xinyi well. There was no affection between the couple. Of course, he was closer to his family and would choose to believe their words.

But this time, he knew clearly from beginning to end, but her eldest sister still distorted the facts like this in front of her...

Shang Junyan thought of Su Xinyi's words and felt his face hurt.

Sister, I saw what happened with my own eyes. If you hadn't deliberately helped Princess Runyi belittle Miss Su Liu, how could Miss Su Liu have had a dispute with you? You were rude first, and you shouldn't apologize. ? As for what happened on the polo field, there were so many people present at the time, and it’s not something that the eldest sister and her family can tell what is right and what is wrong. Shang Junyan said with a livid face.

Shang Congqing was shocked by his younger brother. When he realized what he was doing, he immediately said to his mother: Mom, have you seen it? If you look at it like this, you are clearly seduced by that foxy girl. I am his eldest sister, just for An outsider scolded me like this? I just said that Su Xinyi was not a good person, and I was right.

Shang Junyan's forehead throbbed. Looking at the unrecognizable eldest sister, he remembered what Su Xinyi had said to him in his previous life, but when he chose not to believe it...

He just wants to give himself two slaps now.

Princess Pingjing's heart tightened when she saw her son's reaction. Could it be that her son really fell in love with that village girl?

This is not possible!
