Chapter 235 Wedding Gift

Shen Yu went to the military training ground every day, and Xie Tingzhou had official business to attend to, so he couldn't go every day, and he would only see her at night.

He was indulging in her, and was even more clingy than before. Today, she was detained in the palace, and he moved his official business to the study.

"Big brother and his friends are fast, and they should have passed Pingzhou by now."

Shen Zhao returned to Hezhou the day after the wedding, just in time with the people sent by Xifeng to pick up the maid.

In fact, Shen Zhao was still a newlywed, and he came here specifically for Shen Yu's wedding, but he couldn't bear to leave his new wife at home, so he had to hurry back.

After Xie Tingzhou finished speaking, he didn't hear a response for a long time. He raised his head and saw her buried in the desk, calculating something seriously.

"What are you calculating?"

"Don't interrupt." Shen Yu didn't raise her head, holding a pen in one hand, and raised her head after calculating and asked: "What did you say just now?"

Xie Tingzhou pointed with his chin.

"Oh." Shen Yu tapped on the account book, "I'm calculating the military supplies for the five thousand soldiers and new recruits next season."

Xie Tingzhou picked up the account book and took a look. The account was very well calculated. It was indeed influenced by the first merchant family in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Xie Tingzhou watched her calculate from the side, and suddenly heard a hurried footsteps outside the door.

If there was nothing, the servants would not dare to leave so quickly.

"Prince, Princess."

Xie Tingzhou tilted his head, "What's the matter?"

The maid said outside the door: "Someone came to give a gift, saying that it was a wedding gift for the prince and princess, and it came from Shengjing."

Shen Yu was also surprised for a moment, "Are you sure it was sent from Shengjing?"

Shengjing had no relatives or friends, and she couldn't think of anyone else who would send gifts.

"Will it be sent by the King of Yan?"

Xie Tingzhou and Li Jifeng are close friends, but the current situation is uncertain.

"Let's go and have a look."

Xie Tingzhou and Shen Yu left the palace. There were several carriages parked in front of the palace, and a group of people who were giving gifts were waiting at the door.

The leader, the mustache man, saw the people coming out of the gate in a mighty manner, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile, "Hello, Prince and Princess. I came from Shengjing to give you wedding gifts."

"Which family?" Xie Tingzhou asked.

The mustache man remembered then, took out the card and presented it with both hands, "I am from the family of Lord Jiang, and I am here to give gifts on behalf of my young master, Lord Jiang, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

Xie Tingzhou's outstretched hand fell down again, and he looked at Shen Yu sideways.

Shen Yu was also confused, "I don't know."

The mustache man held the card and said, "The things on this car are all wedding gifts from Lord Minister to Princess."

Other people present didn't know the inside story, and thought that the two had served in the same court and had a good relationship, but Shen Yu and Xie Tingzhou knew it very well.

Shen Yu saw Xie Tingzhou's jaw tighten, and then slowly loosen.

Xie Tingzhou's tone was slightly cold, "Since it is a gift for my princess, we will accept it."

Shen Yu was about to speak, Xie Tingzhou gently squeezed her hand and shouted: "Changliu."

"Hey." Changliu jumped forward.

Xie Tingzhou said: "Is it cold this day?"

Changliu was stunned for a moment, "Of course it is cold, my little turtle is frozen, it didn't move for a few days, I thought it was going to die, but..."

Changliu couldn't close his mouth once he opened his mouth.

Xie Tingzhou interrupted him, "Then go get kerosene, master, I will light a bonfire for you."

"Okay." Changliu responded, turned around and ran away.

The little mustache who gave the gift felt something was wrong, but he didn't dare to ask directly.

Xifeng used the handle of his knife to open the carriage and took a look inside. "Why are they all wrapped in oil paper? Why are they wrapped so tightly?"

The man with a small beard said, "They are all rare wooden items, and some silk. We are afraid that they will get damp on the road, so we wrapped them up."

Xifeng nodded and made a gesture. The guards of the palace came forward to move the things.

There were quite a few boxes. Two guards carried down one box at a time. Xifeng stood aside and didn't count them. Anyway, they would be burned soon, so it would be useless to count them.

The man with a small beard held out another small box, "Princess, this is something my master told me to give to you personally. They are all things you liked in the past."

The box slowly opened.

Xie Tingzhou's face suddenly changed. He held Shen Yu in one hand and pulled out the knife of the guard beside him.

With a cry of "Ah", the man with a small beard grabbed his wrist and screamed.

The hand was broken at the wrist, but there were two broken hands on the ground, one fresh with blood, one black, and an empty box.

The guards drew their swords together and restrained all the people who sent gifts in an instant.

The little mustache screamed in pain, "Prince, spare me, Prince, spare me."

Xie Tingzhou looked at the man coldly, "Jiang Ji asked you to send a broken hand?"

The little mustache ignored the pain and was stunned when he saw the things in the box, "No, no, how could there be a broken hand here? It's obviously..."

"What is it?"

The little mustache was almost twitching in pain, "It's, it's the princess's personal belongings."

Xie Tingzhou's eyes flashed with danger, and the tip of the knife pressed against the little mustache's neck and drew blood.

"Say it again." Xie Tingzhou said word by word.

The man with a mustache panted, "It's jewelry, the princess's jewelry in her boudoir."

"You're talking nonsense!" Shen Yu said angrily, "When did I give him jewelry?"

"I was just giving him a gift, I really don't know."

"Open it." Shen Yu said coldly, "Open all the boxes."

When the first box was opened, the guard was stunned, followed by the second and third... a total of more than a dozen boxes, all filled with the same things.

Xie Tingzhou knew something was wrong, so he let Shen Yu stand there and walked closer to take a look.

His eyes swept over the boxes one by one, without saying a word, but suddenly he raised a knife.

The knife flashed, and a servant who was delivering gifts fell to the ground, holding his neck.

Shen Yu stepped forward.

Xie Tingzhou: "Stand there, don't come over."

These words could not stop Shen Yu at all. She had to see for herself what was in these boxes.

As she approached, the contents of the boxes were also revealed.

It was people, dead people.

Jiang Lianzhi brought her more than a dozen corpses.
