Chapter 532 She is Yi Lanxin
The largest embroidery workshop in Suzhou City opened today.
Colorful silks were hung high, and drums and music were resounding, attracting countless women from wealthy families to come in their best attire. The embroidery workshop was filled with fragrance, laughter, and a lively atmosphere.
In the carriage, Wei Lichu frowned as she looked at the Linlang Pavilion that appeared inexplicably.
"Who owns this embroidery workshop? I haven't been out for a few days, and I didn't know there was such a large embroidery workshop in the city."
“Apart from the Regent Princess, the only person who could attract so many ladies from aristocratic families to show their support is my aunt. But now even my aunt may not even know of the existence of Linlang Pavilion.” The maid next to her said calmly.
The young woman in maid's clothes was Yi Lanxin in disguise. Even Madam Wei didn't recognize her.
"Now that we're here, how can we not go and show our support?" Wei Lichu snorted coldly.
"Chu'er, don't make any noise, we have important matters to attend to." Yi Lanxin stopped her.
They finally got out, and they should go to Yingzui Bay immediately and take the wasteland that Shen Suian wanted first.
If Suzhou sea transportation is really opened, Shen Sui'an must not control everything.
The Queen Mother has worked so hard for so many years, how could she end up with nothing?
Yi Lan was unwilling to accept this.
So what if he is a son.
The new emperor was weak, and the regent was not on good terms with the aristocratic families. She was scheming for the empress dowager, but also for herself.
"Cousin, don't be anxious. You have seen that among so many women from aristocratic families, our Wei family is the only one left out. Shen Suian wants to isolate our Wei family in Suzhou." Wei Lichu sneered.
Yi Lanxin frowned, and seeing that Wei Lichu had already stood up and got out of the car, she had no choice but to lower her head and follow.
The two walked into Linlang Pavilion one after the other. They did not attract much attention. After all, there were many female members in this noble family, and they were just ordinary ones.
Shen Sui'an was chatting with a few ladies when his eyes inadvertently swept over Wei Lichu.
Her attention was on the maid behind Wei Lichu.
Her intuition told her that this woman's identity was not simple.
She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Yi Lanxin calmly. From her manners and demeanor to the subtle changes in her expression, Shen Sui'an tried to find clues to reveal her identity from these details.
Shen Sui'an thought secretly in his heart, but still maintained a decent smile on his face. He looked up at Ningshuang standing by the door.
Ningshuang understood and nodded slightly.
"Chu'er, have you figured out anything?" Yi Lanxin asked in a low voice behind Wei Lichu.
Wei Lichu looked at the magnificent Linlang Pavilion. This was not only an embroidery workshop. Looking at the embroidery on the clothes hanging on the wall, it was clear that there was no other embroidery shop with such craftsmanship in Suzhou.
"In the future, Linlang Pavilion will take away a lot of embroidery business from Suzhou." Wei Lichu snorted.
She owns a clothing store, so I'm afraid she has to think about changing her business.
"It's not that simple..." Yi Lanxin was about to say that this place might be where Shen Suian came to collect intelligence, but before he could finish his words, he heard exclamations coming from outside.
Madam Sun was surprised, "What happened across the street?"
Shen Sui'an pretended not to notice Wei Lichu and the others, and said to Madam Sun with a smile, "Across the street is the chess house. Maybe someone is playing chess today."
"I heard that today the number one female official of the Southern Dynasty is playing chess with the number one talent of our Suzhou Academy. Chu Zhen just lost a game miserably, and now they are starting a new game." Someone came in and said.
"The number one female official in the Southern Dynasty? Could it be that Yi Lanxin?" Madam Sun exclaimed.
Wei Lichu's face changed and she turned to look at Yi Lanxin.
Yi Lanxin looked at her sharply.
"..." Wei Lichu's expression changed slightly, and he turned his head away quickly, afraid that someone would notice something.
However, Shen Suian had already noticed the subtle changes in their expressions.
"She's the number one female official in the Southern Dynasty. We have to go and see her." Madam Liu loved the hustle and bustle and had already called everyone to go to the chess room opposite.
"Princess, would you like to go with me?" asked Madam Sun.
Shen Sui'an chuckled, "Since everyone is curious, let's go and take a look."
What Yi Lanxin did in Salt Lake City was not made public. Apart from them, no one knew that Yi Lanxin was now secretly wanted.
"Cousin, let's go too and see which bitch dares to impersonate you." Wei Lichu lowered her voice.
"Chu'er, this might be a trap. Let's leave here first." Yi Lan felt extremely uneasy.
Wei Lichu: "Don't you want to see who the woman opposite you is?"
"Go and take a look. I'll be waiting for you in the carriage." Yi Lanxin lowered her voice. She couldn't take any risks.
"Okay, if there's any danger, cousin will go first."
Yi Lanxin separated from Wei Lichu outside the door, and replaced her with another maid with a similar figure to hers to follow Wei Lichu to the chess room.
Inside the chess house, on the huge chessboard on the wall, the black and white pieces were in a stalemate, and it was unclear who would win.
On Heizi's side was Chu Zhen, the most talented student in the academy. He was concentrating on his own territory, as if the discussions around him were completely unheard of him.
On the other side, there was a young woman wearing a veil, whose face could not be seen.
Just by looking at the other person's graceful posture and demeanor, you can tell that she is definitely a beauty.
"Is it really Yi Lanxin?" Madam Liu exclaimed.
"Why are you still wearing a veil? You are already the top female official in the Southern Dynasty, and you are afraid to meet people?"
"It is true. It can't be fake."
"That's unlikely. Look at her excellent chess skills. If it wasn't Yi Lanxin, which woman would have such ability to beat Chu Zhen?"
Shen Sui'an raised his eyes to glance at the woman, curled his lips and smiled, then turned to look at the carriage parked on the street.
Ningshuang and Fuqiu had already approached the carriage, and when Wei Lichu wasn't paying attention, they took a maid away from it.
"We won again!" everyone exclaimed.
Chu Zhen showed distress on his face, and bowed to the woman in the veil, "Master Yi, I admit defeat."
"You are a good chess player, just a little immature. You will definitely beat me in time." The woman's voice was clear and beautiful, sounding like pearls falling on a plate.
"Thank you for your encouragement, Lord Yi. I will practice diligently and have the chance to play chess with you again in the future." Chu Zhen admitted defeat gracefully.
The crowd applauded loudly.
"Since she is a female official of the Southern Dynasty, our palace will naturally treat her well. Come, invite Miss Yi to the palace." Shen Suian said with a smile.
"How do you prove that you are Yi Lanxin?" Wei Lichu was annoyed when she saw that everyone treated this woman of unknown origin as her cousin.
It was obvious that Shen Suian had deliberately set up the trap to win people's hearts.
"Who are you?" The woman in the veil turned to Wei Lichu in confusion.
Wei Lichu sneered, "You don't even know me, how dare you say you are Yi Lanxin?"
"Miss Wei, what do you mean?" Shen Sui'an asked with a smile.
"What evidence do you have to prove that this girl is not Lord Yi?"
"Lord Yi has a pass to prove his identity." The chess house owner said quickly.
