Chapter 394 The Yun Family Falls into a Trap (2)
The whole audience was silent, and everyone looked at Tan Daixue. Wow, it’s a match!
"You...Xue'er, we are sisters. How could your elder sister do anything that is detrimental to the Tan family?" Tan Fuyao hinted at something, hoping that this sister who didn't understand the situation could wake up.
Tan Daixue narrowed her eyes, "Huh? You still dare to say that you won't do anything that is detrimental to the Tan family? Every word you said just now is driving the Tan family to a dead end! It's clear that the Yun family was behind all these things, why didn't you say anything?"
Mrs. Tan closed her eyes in despair, what an idiot!
What Fuyao said just now were all irrelevant opening remarks. She was obviously just stalling for time!
After the mute point was pressed, she calmed down and regained her rationality. As long as the mother and son showed up, the spies in the palace would immediately send the news to the outside. The Tan family could not be relied on, but the Yun family would definitely send someone. Now they could only hope that this idiot would not reveal too much.
Shen Yu was very interested. "Oh? Miss Tan also has something to say? Well, let me make it clear. I promised to let whoever confesses first go free. If what Miss Tan said just now was all lies, then I'm sorry!"
"Princess, I'm not... Xue'er knows the situation, actually..."
Tan Daixue interrupted directly and opened her mouth with a royal bomb, "Princess, I can prove that she is lying, because the Yun family's base camp is not in Yuncheng, but in Zhuocheng!" Anyway, she has been ruined, and she must not let Tan Fuyao have an easy time!
Lu Yingxing had a gloomy expression. His family had been stationed in Zhuocheng for generations, and this was their fiefdom. As far as he knew, the Yun family did have people in Zhuocheng, but they were definitely not at the level of a base camp. Could there be something he didn't know?
He stared at the woman with a look of resentment, "You, explain it clearly!"
Tan Daixue was stunned for a moment before she realized that Prince Zhuo was talking about her. She immediately told him everything she knew, "Prince Zhuo, although I don't have any evidence, I can be sure that those so-called orders from Youcheng actually came from Zhuocheng."
Although she only had a vague understanding of family affairs, she loved beauty and was naturally sensitive to the fragrances used by women.
"Your Highness, you can send someone to check. In mid-March two years ago, Pinxiangfang launched a new pear blossom fragrance. At first, they only sold it in Zhuocheng. Because of the water and soil, the pear blossoms here have a purer fragrance after being refined. Later, even if they bought pear blossoms from other places to increase production, others couldn't smell the difference between the two, but I can tell the difference!"
She looked at the pale-faced Tan Fuyao and smiled smugly, "In January two years ago, the monthly order from Youcheng was actually infected with the aromatherapy that Zhuocheng had not yet sold to the public? I want to ask, big sister, why is this?"
The look that Madam Tan gave Tan Daixue was like poison. She never expected that the concubine's daughter, whom she had always treated as a fool, was actually hiding so deeply that even Pinxiangfang was involved. Now she could only hope that the people from the Yun family would show up as soon as possible!
Shen Yu looked around at the few people. Feeling the gaze from above, Tan Fuyao's heart tightened, but she still tried to remain calm and composed. "I remembered that the manager of Pinxiangfang gave me a bottle of new product at that time. It happened that my aunt mentioned pear blossoms, so I borrowed flowers to pay tribute to Buddha. What does this represent, second sister?"
Hearing her say this, Tan Daixue suddenly revealed a strange smile, "Oh? Is that so? My dear sister, have you forgotten that the pear blossom fragrance is not easy to store and must be stored in a special curved-mouth snow jade bottle, otherwise the fragrance will be seriously lost from the next day. However, when the owner of the 'Pinxiangfang' opened, he publicly mentioned that the first batch of this bottle was just made a few days before the sale. So, sister, how did you get this bottle two months in advance? And then you can send it to Youcheng without changing the smell?"
Her words were well-reasoned, with clear causes and consequences and timelines. Tan Fuyao suppressed her anger and blurted out, "You believe what the shopkeeper says? This is just a business trick. The curved-mouth snow jade bottle was successfully developed in February. Sister, you are just following others' words."
Unexpectedly, Tan Daixue's strange smile became more charming, "Really? Then how did sister know about the internal secrets of 'Pinxiangfang'? Are you the behind-the-scenes boss of 'Pinxiangfang'?"
Tan Fuyao's body froze, and she stared at the strange sister in front of her with some disbelief, "You..." Tan Daixue suddenly stood up, and the hostility in her body made her unconsciously take a few steps back.
Everyone saw the unexpected fear on Mrs. Tan and Tan Zhao's faces. Lu Yingxing waved his hand, "Come here, keep an eye on Pinxiangfang."
"Yes!"
"Madam, it seems that this person cannot be let go."
The Tan family members had not yet recovered from Tan Daixue's words when they heard Prince Zhuo's words. They were stunned for a moment and their minds went blank.
Tan Daixue looked at her dumbfounded elder sister, who was no longer as arrogant as usual. She was still not satisfied, "Sister, you want to ask me how I knew that?"
Tan Fuyao's slightly stiff body turned back unconsciously, obviously waiting for her answer.
Tan Daixue sneered, "Oh, that was because you were too stupid! In the past ten years, the gift boxes that Pinxiangfang sent to your house were the same as those sent to other families. Isn't this enough to prove the problem?"
Everyone suddenly realized that, yes, that's right, the status of the Tan family over the years was actually equivalent to the highest authority in Zhuo City, especially when it was uncertain whether King Zhuo could return to the throne smoothly, then it stood to reason that the gift box given to the Tan family must be unique.
This means that when giving gifts to Prince Zhuo's Mansion, every family will automatically default to being more generous, unless the gift giver is a very close family member, or an existence higher than the palace...
Shen Yu looked at this with great interest. The Second Miss who had been acting like a white lotus when they first met was unexpectedly so attentive and patient. "Since you know that there might be something wrong with 'Pinxiangfang', why aren't you curious?"
Tan Daixue obviously didn't expect Shen Yu to ask a question, so she replied naturally, "I don't care why the Yun family pretended that the order came from Youcheng, but it has nothing to do with me. If I ask, I will put myself in danger."
Shen Yu nodded, indicating that it was very reasonable.
"elder sister!"
Ruilin's voice suddenly came from outside the door. Shen Yu was stunned, and then said sweetly, "Let my brother in!"
As soon as the door opened, Yu Ruilin saw these people with disheveled hair and suddenly didn't know whether to go in or back out.
Shen Yu seemed not to notice his embarrassment and asked naturally, "What's the matter? Are you looking for me?"
Yu Ruilin tried his best to ignore the situation and nodded, "There is someone outside who claims to be from Youcheng. He is holding Tian'er's jade pendant and said he has something urgent to see the princess."
Shen Yu and Lu Yingxing looked at each other and saw that they were coming.
