PNB Chapter 320 Hypocrite
Chapter 320 Hypocrite
When Lady Chengguo and her son Song Hua'an received the news, Shen Shuyi also received the news sent by Jiang Li.
Shen Shuyi stood in front of the window and remained silent for a long time.
Just as she guessed, Xiao Tingshan was eager to prolong his life. Seeing that he couldn't find Lian Qiao, he took a risk and made a fake one.
"Let Jiang Li investigate the woman's background first. At least find out where she came from." Shen Shuyi said softly.
"Yes." Jinzhu responded.
"Also send a letter to my uncle, asking him to assist Jiang Li and give him some favor." Shen Shuyi said again.
Jinzhu responded and left. Yuping couldn't help but ask, "Miss, since... since we have found the person Mr. Liancheng is looking for, why don't you tell him directly?"
Shen Shuyi whispered, "Do you think Song Tingshan will stop once he finds the person?"
No, he won't.
She knew him too well.
Even if she took Jiang Lian to meet Lian Cheng now, Xiao Tingshan would not give up.
He will only try every means to obstruct. He will attack Jiang Lian and then create a series of incidents to prove that Jiang Lian is a fake Lian Qiao, so as to alienate the relationship between father and daughter.
If necessary, he would even take Jiang Lian's life, and then, as he is doing now, create a fake Lian Qiao.
In short, he would not allow himself to get Liancheng's promise, and he would find ways to prolong his life.
Therefore, for Jiang Lian’s safety, she couldn’t tell Lian Cheng directly.
Only by letting Xiao Tingshan make a fuss and making Liancheng no longer believe in him, and letting him know that there is no possibility for Lianqiao, will he completely give up and give up the plan of starting with Lianqiao.
Only in this way can Jianglian, or Lianqiao, be truly safe.
Yuping seemed to understand, but she understood it roughly.
This Prince Song is now making such a fuss about Lian Qiao's identity. Once the young lady reveals the truth, he will lose Mr. Lian Cheng's trust and will become wary.
As a result, he lost the opportunity to attack Jiang Lian again.

Two days later, Huang Ying, accompanied by two maids, walked into the streets of the capital with curiosity.
Everything here was so prosperous that she couldn't take her eyes away.
The streets were filled with the smell of fireworks, shouts, and hawking, and everywhere were magnificent carriages and nobles dressed in silk and satin.
Huang Ying felt a little uneasy and timid, but she couldn't stop looking around.
"Almost all the famous shops in our capital are on this street. If you walk there, you can go directly to the palace gate. Usually, many of the people coming and going on that street are officials..." the maid introduced enthusiastically.
Huang Ying's eyes were clear, and she said softly, "It's great. I've never seen such prosperity."
Several people accompanied Huang Ying to walk around and look around. The old woman bought Huang Ying sugar figures, clay dolls, windmills, and candied haws as if she was coaxing a child...
"No, really." Huang Ying's cheeks turned red with embarrassment and she quickly refused.
The old woman stuffed the things into her hands warmly: "Hurry up and take them. The young master has told me that if you see anything interesting, I must buy it for you since you have never been to the capital. The young master has no shortage of money, and these are not expensive things."
Unable to refuse the kindness, Huang Ying carefully took the thing that was stuffed into her hands, with uncontrollable joy in her eyes.
Just then, a carriage rushed towards them.
The horse seemed to be mad and out of control, rushing into the crowd. Not only that, there was no one driving the carriage.
"Be careful, get out of the way!"
The old woman spoke in a hurry and pulled Huang Ying to the side.
The next moment, the carriage crashed directly into the vendors, knocking over the sesame cakes, jewelry, wood carvings, fruits, etc.
Huang Ying and the old woman also stumbled and fell to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, two men in black flew down from the carriage. Both of them had their faces covered and were holding shining long swords. They ran straight towards Huang Ying.
Huang Ying was so frightened that she was trembling all over.
"Don't be afraid!" The old woman held her hand and whispered to comfort her.
The next moment, two guards came out from the darkness, stood in front of Huang Ying, fought with the men in black, and stopped their attacks.
The old woman said quickly: "Thank God, fortunately the young master arranged guards!"
Huang Ying didn't know the reason, but she also breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, the frightened carriage changed direction and rushed towards them again.
The surroundings were in a mess and in the panic, Huang Ying was pushed hard from behind.
As luck would have it, she fell face first onto the hot coals!
It was the same pancake shop that had been knocked over before. The owner had set up a small stall, selling freshly baked pancakes. The large pot, which was more than one meter in diameter, was burning hot. There was a thick layer of coal ash at the bottom of the pot, and inside it was filled with red-hot charcoal.
When Huang Ying fell, her face landed in the pile of charcoal fire.
"what--!"
The girl let out a heart-wrenching scream and wanted to roll over in pain. She could clearly smell the smell of burning flesh and could feel that there were sparks on her face that seemed to have not yet dissipated.
The vision in one of Huang Ying's eyes was blurred and full of blood.
In a panic, the old woman rushed forward to support her: "What's wrong? Are you okay?"
As the old woman spoke, she carefully examined the wound on her face and saw that the pink peach blossom birthmark was mostly burned by the fall. She then nodded towards someone in the crowd.
A figure quietly left, and the two men in black were also repelled by the guards.
Everything happened in that instant, but the girl's face was left with large areas of burns, from one eyelid to the corner of the eye, and then to half of her face, all covered in blood.
"It hurts! It hurts so much!" Huang Ying rolled on the ground, tears falling one after another, but when they fell on the wound, they immediately brought a piercing pain.
"I'll take you to see a doctor right away!" The old woman quickly signaled to the two maids to help the person up and rush to the nearest clinic.

Because he had sent people to keep an eye on the situation here, Shen Shuyi received the news soon.
"Did the Duke Chengguo's Mansion send people to ambush and kill him, resulting in an accident?" Shen Shuyi asked with a sneer.
Yu Ping whispered, "Yes, I heard that the girl's face was severely burned, and the peach-shaped birthmark at the end of her eye was also destroyed. Now you can't tell what she originally looked like."
Shen Shuyi sneered: "He really hasn't changed at all."
Yuping didn't know what to say. She just felt that if these were really done by the seemingly gentle Prince Song, then this man was too scary.
Shen Shuyi's eyes were cold and he said softly, "Everyone in this world is afraid of villains, but they don't know that hypocrites are far more terrifying than real villains."
Yuping sighed softly and said slowly: "It's just a pity for that girl."
Regardless of whether it was originally beautiful or not, it was a good face, but now... it has been ruined...
The birthmark is so close to the eyes, I don’t know if the eyes are affected.
As the master and servant were talking, Jinzhu came in from outside with a look of joy on her face: "Miss, there's news from Xingwang Building. The person you're looking for has been found!"
