"Miss, what do you think the second miss will gain by going this time, can you force the fourth miss to confess?"

In the study of Liu Yun Academy, Mingyue came in with tea, looked at Gu Zhirong who was struggling to write, and asked.

Gu Zhirong didn't raise his head and said, "Second sister can't take advantage of it at all." ”

Mingyue was puzzled: "Why?"

The pen in Gu Zhirong's hand paused: "Think about it, what kind of person is the fourth sister, can she be brought down with just one account book? Besides, the account book does not clearly write the name of the fourth sister. ”

Mingyue was even more puzzled: "Since the second miss can't take advantage, why did the young lady tell her about the account book?"

Gu Zhirong sighed and said, "I originally wanted to help her, so I told her that there was such a thing as an account book." Who knew that she was really mad, and she actually went straight to Dali Temple to ask for this account book back, and directly asked the fourth sister Xingshi for the guilt. ”

Mingyue was surprised and said, "The second lady personally went to Dali Temple to ask for the account book?"

"yes. Gu Zhirong nodded, "I heard that the second sister went directly to Mrs. Cheng of Dali Temple, saying that there was silver in the Yuanning Hou Mansion stored in Huiyuan Bank, and she wanted to take the account book and go back to count the losses." You think, the second sister is the future princess, this title is weird and scary, how dare Mrs. Cheng of Dali Temple slack off, and immediately took the second sister to get the account book. ”

Speaking of this, Gu Zhirong sighed faintly: "If I were the second sister, and there was such an account book on hand, which recorded the evidence of the fourth sister's crime, I wouldn't be so stupid and ask the fourth sister directly." If you want to find it. should also find the two maids beside her first, and once they forced a confession, they confessed everything. If it doesn't work, just hand it over to the old lady and let the old lady dispose of it. ”

Mingyue shook her head: "The so-called family ugliness should not be publicized, even if the old lady knew in her heart that it was the fourth lady who did it, she would not deal with it openly, if it is spread out like this, the sisters in the mansion of the Marquis of Yuanning will fight each other." Who would dare to come to our Yuanning Marquis Mansion to propose marriage?"

Gu Zhirong said with a smile: "Girl, you're getting smarter and smarter." Of course the old lady will suppress this matter, but. The fourth sister must not have a good time in the future. But now, I'm afraid that the second sister's life is not good. ”

Mingyue said blankly: "Why?"

Gu Zhirong shook his head slightly: "You'll know later." ”

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Zhirong finished copying the two calligraphy, Lu Shui rushed in. "Miss." Go and see, the fourth lady went to the old lady to sue the second lady, and now, the old lady is asking someone to summon the second lady over. ”

Mingyue said "ah": "Now the second miss is miserable, the fourth miss is now the first to sue the wicked, the second miss is not as sharp as the fourth sister, and she will definitely suffer." She turned to Gu Zhirong and said anxiously, "Miss." What can I do about this?"

Gu Zhirong was still sitting firmly in his chair, concentrating on practicing his words. Unmoved by Mingyue's words, he just raised his head slightly and asked, "Is Mu Xingjin back?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then Mu Jin walked in and glanced at Gu Zhirong: "Miss, the slave has already done what you ordered, that person is waiting outside the mansion gate, and Uncle Wang, the porter, has already gone in to inform the second lady." ”

Gu Zhirong nodded with satisfaction: "Second sister should be fine." ”

He Datong anxiously walked around outside the gate of the Yuanning Marquis Mansion, sighing as he walked, looking uncertain.

Early this morning, before dawn, he was woken up, saying that the situation was urgent, and the fourth lady meant that he should leave the capital immediately, and gave him a hundred taels of silver as a coil. He was just about to pack up his things, and another person came, saying that there was an order from Dali Temple, saying that he was involved in the case of Huiyuan Qianzhuang, and he was not allowed to go, so he could only stay at home, waiting for the summons, and said that if he dared to leave the capital, he would send a sea fishing official document and pursue him throughout the country.

Early in the morning, two emergencies occurred in a row, which scared his whole person stupidly. He thought about it, and thought that his unprovoked involvement in the case of Huiyuan Money Village had a great relationship with what his cousin Ziyan had done for himself, and this matter was related to his life, if he didn't go to her for an idea, who else could he go to?

Besides, this matter was told by his cousin Ziyan that the fourth lady entrusted him to do it. Now that he is about to have an accident, of course he can only ask the fourth lady of the Yuanning Hou Mansion for help.

He made up his mind, and even crawled straight to Yuanninghou. When he arrived at the door, he thought about it and decided that it would be more appropriate to go to the second lady. So, at the door, he changed his mind, and told the old man Wang that he was the cousin of the house, and that he had an urgent matter with the second lady, so he asked him to pass it on his behalf, and then stuffed a piece of broken silver into the old man's hand.

Old man Wang got the silver, and saw that he was indeed anxious, thinking that something had happened to Ziyan's family, so he immediately found a mother-in-law and asked her to go in and tell the second lady.

Soon, there was a reply, saying that the second lady let him in, followed by a maid ring and led him in.

He Datong's heart was full of ups and downs, he didn't have the heart to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the house at all, he bowed his head all the way and walked straight to a big courtyard, and he had to follow Yahuan all the way in, and when he saw that Yahuan scolded him angrily, he felt rude and hurriedly stopped his steps.

A voice came from the courtyard: "Lixiang, don't scold him, he is not from the house, and it is understandable that he doesn't understand the rules, let him in." This person spoke in a low voice, slightly uneasy, presumably not in good health.

He Datong sneaked a glance into the courtyard, and saw a lady sitting on the stone bench in the center of the courtyard, her face seemed to be a little pale, looking in the direction where he was.

Lixiang answered, turned back to the gate of the courtyard, and said to him, "Madame wants to see you, come in." ”

He Datong knew that there were many rules in big households, so he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he followed Lixiang, walked in with his head down, and when he saw the person who looked like a lady, he saluted and stood aside with his hands down in a proper manner.

The second lady raised and looked at him: "You are Ziyan's cousin?"

He Datong nodded.

"Early in the morning, come to me, what's the matter?" A girl next to her came over with hot tea, and the second lady took a sip and asked leisurely.

Ziyan is a first-class girl next to her daughter, it stands to reason that the person in front of her is looking for someone, and he should find her daughter, but it is indeed a little strange that he found his own.

It was precisely because of this curiosity that the second lady decided to meet this person.

When He Datong heard the second lady's question, he immediately knelt down with a "plop", and kowtowed desperately, "Madame save me, Madame save me." ”

His inexplicable kneeling startled the whole courtyard. The second lady looked at him stunned: "What's wrong with you, why do you want me to save you?"

This time it was He Datong's turn to be at a loss. He raised his head and looked at the second lady in disbelief: "Madam, didn't the second lady tell you?"

"Tell me?" The second lady was the second monk who couldn't scratch her head, and when she thought of him mentioning her daughter just now, she couldn't help but be anxious, motioned for him to stand up and speak, and then immediately asked, "What did you just say, what does this have to do with my daughter?" )
