Chapter 147 A powerful character
Zhao Xueqing was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "Cousin, just tell me what you want to say."
Shen Shuyi took the bracelet in her hand and played with it repeatedly for a while, her eyes were deep. After a while, she looked at Zhao Xueqing, whose eyes were full of expectation and anxiety, and a smile appeared on her face.
"You'll have to ask your younger uncle to go find your older uncle. Your older uncle was the second prince's study companion back then, so he must be most familiar with the spices that the second prince liked."
Zhao Xueqing paused, still not quite understanding.
What is the relationship between the spices used by the Second Prince and the bracelet given to the Queen Mother?
Shen Shuyi said in a gentle voice: "The Queen Mother worships Buddha all year round, but sandalwood and Buddhist incense are too common, and there is no difference for the Queen Mother."
Zhao Xueqing seemed to understand, but Shen Shuyi smiled at her and didn't explain any more. He just said, "Go back and tell your uncle. He will know what to do."
Zhao Xueqing nodded and didn't ask any more questions after hearing this.
After putting away the things, Shen Shuyi looked at her and asked again: "Did my cousin go to Prince Duan's Mansion today?"
"He went. He hadn't returned when I left. He just sent someone to deliver a message saying that Prince Duan had invited him to have a meal at the palace and would send him back later."
When talking about this, Zhao Xueqing's face showed more joy.
Although the Qingyuan Marquisate did not take sides, it did not want to get involved in the fight between the princes.
But if I could get the protection of Prince Duan, my life would be much better.
Shen Shuyi smiled and said softly, "Bao Kun is likable and clever, he will surely be liked by the young grandson."

On the other side, Qin Xuerong was supporting her head with one hand, listening to Nanny Wang's report on the school, and she was having a headache.
After a while, Qin Xuerong sneered: "She really doesn't know her place, she's so bold and reckless that she doesn't even take Mr. Chen seriously!"
After a pause, Qin Xuerong continued, "But it's better this way. Mr. Chen is so angry that he will definitely report it to the master. He will definitely not let Shen Shuyi have any good results."
After hearing this, Qin Xuerong finally perked up a bit.
Although Chen Kang didn't have much ability, he could be considered a fellow disciple of the master. Being reported in this way, the master couldn't save face and had to give an explanation.
However, this Chen Kang was really useless. He didn't let Shen Shuyi suffer at all. It was a waste of her time to deliberately send him a lot of things and ask him to take care of Shen Shuyi.
"This second young lady is really powerful. Madam must be on guard against her." Nanny Wang spoke carefully.
When this was mentioned, Qin Xuerong's face darkened. Without Nanny Wang telling her, she knew how many troubles had arisen since Shen Shuyi came back.
If you think about it carefully, every single one of these things is related to her.
"Don't worry, I won't let her go!" Qin Xuerong spoke softly with a sinister look on her face.
As soon as she finished speaking, Cuizhu came in hurriedly: "Madam, the concubine is here."
When she heard her sister was coming, Qin Xuerong finally showed some joy on her face, and she quickly stood up and said, "Please come in."
Not long after, a beautiful woman in a lotus-colored satin jacket and skirt slowly walked in.
"Sister!" Qin Xuerong hurried forward and held Qin Guiqiong's hand.
Qin Guiqiong shook her hand firmly, looked her up and down, and said worriedly: "Sister, why do you look so unhappy? Did something happen in the mansion? I have received the message you sent to me. You need the silver urgently, so I took out 20,000 taels from my private treasury and sent it to you for emergency..."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuerong's eyes were filled with tears: "It's a long story."
"Don't be impatient. If you have anything to say, take your time. I have heard a little about what happened here recently. Mother also wants to come over, but if she comes, she will definitely bring Sister Yu back. This time, it will not be good for Sister Yu to stay in the Qin Mansion for a long time, so I came to see the situation first."
Qin Xuerong nodded with tears in her eyes, her eyes darkened, and she said in a cold voice: "Recently, the Shen Mansion has been hit by one thing after another. Sister, you don't know that these are all directed at me."
Qin Guiqiong frowned and said, "Sister, you may as well talk about it, but is it all related to that bitch...the second young lady that Zhao Derong left behind?"
Qin Xuerong sighed softly and told Qin Guiqiong about what had happened recently.
After hearing this, Qin Guiqiong frowned, and her beautiful face showed some consideration: "According to what you said, this second young lady is a powerful character!"
Qin Xuerong twisted the handkerchief in her hand tightly and said in a deep voice: "You always have many ideas, do you have any ideas?"
Qin Guiqiong thought for a moment, then leaned over to Qin Xuerong's ear and whispered, "Your old lady's birthday banquet is coming up, and there will be many guests at the Shen Mansion. It just so happens that she wants to learn how to manage the household. Isn't this a great opportunity..."
Qin Xuerong said slowly: "Actually, I also have this plan, but I always feel that it is not thorough enough."
Qin Guiqiong said again: "Sister, you are afraid of the ropes after being bitten by a snake once. You are afraid of the ropes for ten years."
"But this is not enough. I have to keep a backup plan. Even if it doesn't work, I can make your old lady completely tired of her..."
Hearing this, Qin Xuerong became interested: "Tell me more about it."
Qin Guiqiong smiled and said, "Didn't my sister say that she suspected she was a demon? How come she came back from the Jade Buddha Temple without any reason? It seems like she had some magical powers. I just happen to know someone who can help my sister out of her urgent need..."
After hearing what Qin Guiqiong said, Qin Xuerong's face became more cheerful: "I knew I had to rely on you."
Qin Guiqiong said in a friendly manner, "You and I are sisters. Our Lou family will rely on you in many ways in the future. If you have any problems, I will naturally spare no effort to help you. I will find time to let you meet that person later."
Qin Xuerong said quietly, "That's great! I don't believe that we can't deal with this bastard like this. She can get away with it once, but can she get away with it every time?"
Qin Guiqiong hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "In fact, we can still make some preparations for this matter, but... Sister, have you ever thought of using a method that will solve the problem once and for all?"
"Once and for all?" Qin Xuerong asked subconsciously.
Qin Guiqiong smiled and said, "Sister kept her back then just to use her marriage to win some benefits for us, and to block those unsuitable marriages for Sister Yu and Sister Zhen. But now Sister has seen the situation. Shen Shuyi is not someone who can be easily controlled, and will not be easily controlled by Sister in the future. If such a person is kept, it will be a disaster sooner or later!"
Hearing this, Qin Xuerong frowned, as if she was seriously considering the feasibility.
"I need to think about this carefully. My mind hasn't been clear lately. I'm always afraid that I'll fall into that girl's trap again."
Qin Guiqiong smiled and said, "There's no rush for this matter. Sister, please solve the urgent problem first, and then you can think about it carefully."
Qin Xuerong sighed and said, "I feel much better after talking to you about this. By the way, how is Lan Jie'er now? I heard from mother that she has been living in the Qin Mansion for some time."
