After Chen Hao finished changing and washing, ate two bowls of hot noodle soup, and hugged Nuan Nuan, who was no longer crying, in his arms and kissed him well, he really had the strength to explain the changes of these days to Ru Xi.

The inside story of Pu Weiji's case, roughly as Ming Luying said, is indeed that some important characters and suspects in Pu Weiji intermittently gathered to pass on messages, and even these people secretly wrote secret notes with special potions on the corners of fixed single rooms and calligraphy and paintings. Because the content of these people's secret meetings involves royal secrets, not everyone knows the inside story of even these people in the Criminal Department.

In comparison, Chen Hao knows a little more, because long before the two got married, the things he investigated when he left Beijing were actually indirectly related to these people. It's a shocking secret, but I can't talk about it. To put it bluntly, it is some old things about Queen Ming's mother's family, even if it is really revealed to the world, at most it will make the queen's face ugly. But now there are no concubines in Emperor Xiang's harem, and the three princes under his knees are all born to Queen Ming, even if the queen's face is not good-looking, can the middle palace or the country still be shaken?

It's just that this time the matter was printed from a palace maid next to the third prince, the third prince, as the youngest son of Emperor Xiang and the queen, is naturally the most loved, and now he has not yet got married, and there is a problem with the people around him, the emperor and queen are naturally very concerned, and the palace is more concerned about this case.

At the beginning of September, Chen Hao was suddenly detained in the criminal department because a key person died violently. Commander Han, who was sent by the palace to secretly supervise the case, was furious and held accountable, and the Anti-Theft Division pushed Chen Hao out of the tank.

In fact, Chen Hao, as the grandson-in-law of the Yan family and the stepson of General Shi Ben, is experienced and has solved many cases, so he should not be the candidate to carry the black pot at this time. But this case involved the Empress Ming and the prince, and naturally involved the wrestling of several major forces in the court, and used the topic to play. Shi Renlang was attached to his own business teacher Huang Shilang, and naturally stood with the political enemies of the Yan family in this infighting in the Criminal Department, and the more specific action was to take Chen Hao under the knife, and as a clerk of the Criminal Department, he proved Chen Hao's secret collaborators, which became a starting point for attacking the Yan family in the overall political struggle.

Maybe from Shi Renlang's point of view, he just wanted to detain Chen Hao. But Huang Shilang and other higher-level people naturally want to use Chen Hao to further detain the Yan family, but where is the Yan family so easy to deduct?

On the first day of Chen Hao's trial, Yan Xiao personally went to the Criminal Department to meet with Chen Hao and carefully advise him. Speaking of their official relationship, in fact, it is far deeper than the in-laws of the sister-in-law. Long before Yan Rong went to elope with the Wen girl, Chen Hao had already secretly helped Yan Xiao, who was a close minister of the Son of Heaven. Later, by mistake, there was more in-law relationship like Ji, and the secret official relationship changed the way.

In short, on the third day, Yan Xiao took the secret decree to the Criminal Department, and the attack on the court continued, and the Criminal Department seized a small catcher with six products, where would anyone pay too much attention. That night, Yan Xiao took someone to secretly replace Chen Hao, and gave him a secret order and manpower to continue to go out of Beijing to investigate. People who know these things can count them in one palm, don't say that Shi Renlang doesn't know about the six-grade master book, even his business master Huang Shilang completely concealed it.

It wasn't until three days ago that Chen Hao and his colleagues finally caught someone in Chenzhou, and escorted back to Beijing in the starry night, Yan Heng and Yan Xiao's father and son also immediately entered the palace to face the saint, and the case was finally counted in front of the emperor and had an explanation. At that time, the Yan family was actually a complete victory in front of the emperor, but Emperor Xiang still intended to let the dispute in the court continue for a few days, so as to reorganize the situation.

According to Chen Hao's thoughts, of course, he wanted to bring a message to Ruxi to reassure her. However, a while ago, Rushu came to the Chen family very frequently, and Yan Xiao would also be worried that the Chen family's house was not strict, so he decided to simply hide it from Rushu, so that outsiders could believe that the Yan family was deliberately showing weakness at this moment when they saw the Chen family being so calm.

After hearing this long list, Ru Ji wanted to complain angrily, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she cried again: "If you have such a thing again, I will never have to deal with you again." You are now a father, and you are still worried like this, if there are really three long and two short, what should I do? ”

Chen Hao saw that Ruji's cheeks had lost a lot of weight, and he was also very sorry in his heart, and hurriedly reached out to hug her: "Everything is fine, this case is over, and there will be no more such things in the future." ”

Ru Ji still cried: "What are you doing!" Aren't you just a little catcher, why did you suddenly become an agent again, where did you get so many secret missions and royal secrets, can't we live in peace? ”

"What do you mean by an agent?" Chen Hao stroked her back to comfort her, but she was also a little confused.

Ru Ji choked, knowing that he had slipped his mouth, but he still rubbed tears and other tears on his clothes: "The agent is a special court official!" It's a white-eyed wolf like you who doesn't care about your wife and children! ”

Chen Hao hugged her tightly: "It's all my fault, in the future, regardless of the official affairs of the court, I will only guard you and our daughter, will it succeed?" ”

"Talking counts?" Ru Ji raised her head suddenly, "You don't go to the Criminal Department on an errand?" Will you open a teahouse with me in the future? ”

"This-" Chen Hao is still an honest person after all, "I won't go this month, I'll go again next month." ”

Ru Ji pushed him: "Empty words, it's all for nothing, and there is no actual action." ”

At this time, honest people are not honest anymore, Chen Hao's strength can be pushed away, she complained a few more words, and then bowed her head and kissed it: "Where can there be no actual action." ”

"It's not—it's not this action!"

Life returned to its original trajectory in this way, and a seemingly huge storm began when Ru Ji was unconscious, and it was also eliminated from her ability and vision.

As an ordinary woman who has no ambition and power, Ru Ji was still very satisfied when she woke up again in the crook of Chen Hao's arm. Chen Hao is not a handsome and rich man who is in and out of the prime minister, although he has wiped a little bit of the side of the political situation without danger, he still got out after all.

This is the life she wants, she doesn't have to enjoy Zhong Mingding's food, and she doesn't have to bear the court, as long as she can live her own small life peacefully with Chen Hao, there can be some profits in the teahouse, so that her baby daughter Nuan Nuan can grow up healthy and happy, and Chen Runcaiwan around her can also be safe and rich, then everything will be perfect.

As for those who have owed or hurt her in their past lives and in this life, or who have passed away from the original owner, Ru Ji is not interested in taking the initiative to take revenge or push again, because just like the most classic and simple truth, if you don't die, you won't die. Whether it is the elder Shi Da Master, Mrs. Chi, etc., or the Shi family brothers, Pu family and Chi family sisters of the same generation, everyone will pay the price for their actions, and Ru Ji only needs to watch at most.

At the beginning of October, Chen Hao, who had been resting at home for half a month, finally went back to Yamen on an errand. Ru Ji was still a little apprehensive when she sent him out, but life always had to go on, and after the previous time and again, in fact, she trusted Chen Hao more and more.

Even the black cauldron involving the secret of the emperor and queen this time can be shaken off, and he successfully caught the person who should be arrested, what hurdles can not be overcome after that?

And that night, the Yan family sent a gift, nominally saying that Yan Rong had made meritorious service in Chenzhou, and the relatives were happy, but in fact, it was Ming Lu Ying who sent the maid Xingyu next to him to pass on the gossip - the dispute in the court was settled, Huang Shilang was demoted to a product and moved to the Ministry of Industry to be a semi-idle Sanpinlang, the Huang family and the Pan family gave up, and Shi Renlang, who was involved for some reasons, was naturally driven out of the division by the teacher. Although the position of the chief secretary of the criminal department has not been lost for the time being, it will not be stable for long.

Ruji asked Xingyuyan's family about the current situation, and Xingyu smiled warmly and politely: "Cousin and grandmother, don't worry, the emperor gave a lot of things down, saying that when the eldest brother is three years old, he will go to the palace to be a companion to the emperor and grandson." The title of the third lord should also be upgraded after the New Year, and the government will be divided at that time. Also, the second master advised, I must tell you that my cousin has made meritorious contributions and suffered grievances, and the emperor also knows. You can wait for the happy news with peace of mind, and your cousin's future is also good. ”

Ruji's heart was more settled, and she immediately took the purse and rewarded Xingyu in person: "Got it." This trip was hard, I went to the house another day and thanked my second cousin in person. ”

Xingyu thanked the reward, and the Chen family was also happy. Ru Xi didn't expect Chen Hao, a little catcher, to go far in his career, but now after listening to Xingyu's words, although he was happy, he didn't want to put any pressure on Chen Hao, and specially told Magenta and the others to be more stable.

It's just that I didn't expect Xingyu's words to be so fast, and less than ten days later, Chen Hao's promotion order came down. The palace directly issued a reward order, and Chen Hao was promoted two levels from the six-grade Jingcheng, and directly became the youngest chief catcher of the five-grade criminal department since the founding of the Great Sheng, half a level higher than Liu Chengyin's father, and one level higher than the five-grade Hanlin editor Pu Yu, who had not moved for thousands of years.

Such a big happy event, Ru Ji naturally wants to send letters and gifts to the three relatives and six relatives.

General Shi Ben and Su Sanniang were very happy, and sent people from Chenzhou to send four carts of gifts. The Yan family is similar, Yan Xiao and his wife both came to the house to congratulate in person, in addition to the congratulatory gifts to Chen Hao and Ruji, they also sent a lot of things to Nuan Nuan. In public and private, the three rooms of the Yan family have become closer and closer to Chen Haoruji.

But the other relatives were not so happy, although Pu Yu was a thunderous millennium from the Wupin Hanlin, and he was not involved in any party disputes in the court, but he was also famous for his inaction in the Hanlin Academy for many years. Emperor Xiang took advantage of the turmoil of the Yan family to make the dispute in the court float for a month, just to reorganize the rule of officials. So with some taste of expectation, Pu Hanlin was honorably laid off on the third day after the promotion order of his eldest son-in-law Chen Hao. Because there is no big mistake, I still retain a six-grade idle essay job, but the career is clear or something, and that's the end of it.

And the internal problems of the Pu family are not only that, because the Chi family offended Lin Chengyue on the day Nuan Nuan was 100 years old, he was immediately packed and sent back to Jiyang's hometown to fend for himself, and the Pu family's inner house was naturally completely handed over to Aunt Chao. And before Pu Yu lost the position of Hanlin, the Pu family was a little unstable. It seems that Aunt Chao is not very interested in taking the position of the Chi family, but has said many times that the master is a great talent, it is not the right thing to spoil the concubine and kill the wife, the concubine is from a humble background, and it is not worthy of being the choice of the main room.

At that time, Pu Yu was still moved and pityful, and felt that Aunt Chao was too humble and responsible, and she became more and more favored. It wasn't until Aunt Chao's younger brother Chao Xing said that he was about to end the business of Jiyang Restaurant and leave the capital, hoping that Pu Yu's talented man could repay the money he had borrowed before, and his sister also intended to go to the court to beg for it, that Pu Yu realized what he meant.

Aunt Chao's identity is a good concubine, not the kind of maid who sells herself as a slave and upgrades to an aunt, although it is not as easy as the lady who is marrying the Ming media to make a request for reconciliation, but Chao Xing has an IOU of 20,000 taels in his hand, including the 8,000 taels that the Chi family borrowed in order to leave the pavilion at the beginning, Pu Xing can of course not allow Aunt Chao to leave, but Chao Xing can also sue Pu Yu to the court at any time to force debts.

With such a stake, what can Pu Yu say? What's even more exciting is that before Pu Yu officially signed the concubine release document, another fellow villager from Jiyang broke the big news, Aunt Chao is not Chao Xing's own sister, she is actually the adopted daughter of the Chao family, when she was a child, people in the same township thought she was the child daughter-in-law of the Chao family, in other words, the relationship between Aunt Chao and Chao Xing is not simple.

At this time, Pu Yu probably began to miss Chi's family, but the more important thing was to repay the money, so after receiving the good news post of Chen Hao's promotion, not only did he not give a gift, but instead sent a handwritten post of borrowing money for help.

I heard that the same letter was also sent to the palace of Qi County and the second room of the Shi family.

Ruyan in the palace of Qi County had just given birth to a son, but this son was born and Ruyan did not have a chance to see her, so she was directly held to the little princess of Qi County to raise. The old princess asked someone to add supplements to Ruyan, and also rewarded gold and silver brocade, but she didn't send a happy letter to the Pu family, nor did she give Ruyan a promotion, rumors in the palace said that this child may be directly recorded in the name of the princess or side concubine, in short, it has nothing to do with Pu Liang.

Ruyan just cried during the confinement, and she didn't think about the tea and rice every day, and when she received her father's letter, she tore it up directly, and it is said that she didn't even look at it.

Not to mention Rushu in the second room of the Shi family, after Shi Renlang was driven away by his teacher, he finally had nowhere to go but to go home. But Mrs. Shi's filial piety is not over yet, theoretically speaking, Shi Renlang, who is a grandchild, and Rushu and his wife can be close, but they can't have children. Mrs. Shi Er urged Rushu to be attentive to her husband every day, but Shi Renlang said that he wanted to be an example of filial piety, and he would not have sex with his wife before the one-year filial piety period expired. Of course, there are still a lot of delicate servants in the study.

Mrs. Shi Er looked anxious, so she was angry with her mother's family every day. Rushu endures death and life every day, what do you take to help Pu Luo?

So the desperate Pu Yu finally came to the door of the Chen family with a cheeky face and opened his mouth to borrow money from Chen Hao and Ruji.

Chen Hao was a little soft-hearted and wanted to help a little, but Ru Ji pulled his face: "At the beginning, he wanted to force me to death for my mother's dowry, and he didn't treat me as a human being at that time, and now he borrows money from us?" If he is seriously ill and bankrupt, it will be fine, and the money borrowed from the Chao family is spent on what guqin incense burner, elegant and happy, why should we give this money? Don't give! ”

Chen Hao was originally soft-hearted because he loved the house and Wu, and he was not really weak, and it made sense to hear Ru Xi say this, so he simply didn't let Ru Xi pretend to be blackfaced, and went out directly to pour a cup of tea for Pu Yu: "Master Pu's difficulties, forgive us for not being able to help." Please come back. ”

Pu Yu came to the door to ask for help, he was already gritting his teeth and pulling down his face, and he also thought of some soft words to say before coming, but he didn't expect Ru Ji to see him at all, and Chen Hao was simply neat, without explaining or complaining, and directly followed the closed door. As a father-in-law, he is not so hard at this time. After all, the father-in-law can accuse the daughter-in-law of being unfilial, but it is difficult to ask the son-in-law too much, and the elegant face that has been maintained for many years is blue and red, red and green, and he still reluctantly said: "Auntie, look ......"

"Master Pu, go slowly, the lower officials will not accompany you." Chen Hao got up directly, and his voice was very gentle. After that, he went directly to the inner hall, and then motioned to the servants to send off the guests.

Pu Yuqi's temples jumped suddenly, but he didn't have the ability to roll on the spot, and finally endured and endured, but he still went in disgrace. In less than half a month, the news of the Pu family's concubine selling the house came out. After that, Pu Hanlin, who also had a little bit of fame in Beijing Elementary School, has never been seen in Beijing again.

When Ruji heard these news, she only felt very relieved. Although Shuangying also implicitly persuaded her before, saying that it was her maiden family, she really felt that such a maiden family might as well not have it. Instead of caring or asking whether Pu Luo later returned to his hometown or lived in seclusion, or went back to Jiyang to find the Chi family, it is better to take the time to take care of Pu Weiji.

Because Chao Xing ended the business of Jiyang Restaurant, Pu Weiji's business is getting better and better, and Ru Ji has begun to think about opening a branch. Cai Wan, who has only been married for a few months, is now pregnant, Chen Run is very happy and concerned, and the time in the store every day should be reduced.

And as Nuan Nuan gradually grew up, Ru Xi didn't want to just take the children at home or wait for Chen Hao to come home every day, and sometimes went to the teahouse to see the business in person.

It was a bit unexpected, Ru Ji saw Qin Xizhi and his wife come over to eat the newly produced sesame oil chicken noodles in Pu Weiji.

Ru Ji no longer has any curiosity this time, no matter who these two people are, anyway, Pu Weiji's previous case is over, she is just an ordinary teahouse proprietress and a little woman at home, and she doesn't want to get involved in those things that can't be managed.

Qin Xizhi and his wife seemed to be very relaxed, and they didn't ask any hidden questions at all, every time they came over, they just said hello to eat noodles, or ordered two snacks. It's just that I come every ten or so days, and I'm a little familiar after a long time.

After the New Year, Ruxi launched several kinds of Lantern Festival sweet soup with fruits and petals in the teahouse, it seems that Mrs. Qin likes it very much, and she comes more often.

At this time, Ruji's life is more peaceful, Nuan Nuan can already speak a few simple sounds, although she can't call her complete parents, but she often tries to learn words. Chen Hao, as he promised before, rarely investigates the case in person, and goes home almost every day at a regular time, and is more intimate with Ruji while accompanying the children.

News between relatives occasionally came over, some of which were expected, such as Yan Rong's repeated meritorious services in Chenzhou and began to have some fame. The second and third rooms of the Yan family are separated, and now the third room is the Mansion of General Zhongyong and Chen Haoru is very close, and recently sent a happy letter because Ming Lu Sakura was pregnant again.

There are also some that are unexpected, for example, Aunt Chun had a miscarriage and Chi Cuiliu became pregnant.

Aunt Chun's miscarriage was an accident, it seems that she began to have abdominal pain and anxiety at the age of five months, and she was uncomfortable no matter how she recuperated, and finally she saw red on the day of the first snow a year ago. Lang Zhong's statement is that the mother's body is weak, and this fetus will definitely not be saved. Mr. and Mrs. Shi were naturally very disappointed, and with the anger that had accumulated before, it was rare for the two of them to have the same idea, and directly sold Aunt Chun back to Goolan in exchange for money to continue to treat Shi Zhonglang.

At this time, Cuiliu found out that she was three months pregnant, and everyone was very shocked, because Shi Zhonglang's condition had reached the point of "ancestral psoriasis, specializing in the treatment of old Chinese medicine", and almost all the old, middle-aged and young famous Langzhong who could be invited in the Gyeonggi area had been invited, and no one gave an effective treatment plan.

But Cuiliu insisted that Shi Zhonglang could do it occasionally, so this child was the Shi family's species. Shi Zhonglang finally expressed his approval, that is, admitting that this child is the incense of the long house.

Master Shi and Mrs. Shi also decided to believe it after struggling for a few days, and what if they didn't believe it, to put it bluntly, what could they do. If it is said that Cuiliu's child is not Shi Zhonglang's, then such an unchaste daughter-in-law who is pregnant during her grandmother's filial piety can only be divorced, in that case, Cuiliu is actually happy. As long as he is free, even if he marries far away, it is good, but Shi Zhonglang will never be able to marry a daughter-in-law again.

Compared with the importance of the so-called incense, filial piety is not a big problem. Anyway, Master Shi and Shi Zhonglang have nothing to do with their careers for life, and the brother in the next room in front of him, Shi Renlang, is not close to women, only close to men, and obviously can't count on both. So instead of looking for another one in the world in the future, it is better to take a look at the one in front of you first, what if it is really Shi Zhonglang's?

Master Shi even said very genius that he could be secretly born first, then handed over to others, and then sent back, so that he said that it was adoptive, so that there would be no problem of filial piety.

When Ruji heard these gossip news, she happened to be in Pu Wei Kee's shop, the weather in February was warm and cold, and this year's capital seemed to be particularly snowy, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, so Pu Wei Ji's business was naturally lighter.

Ru Xi saw that there were no two or three customers in the store, so she sat at the counter with Xia Yin and Xian Cao and whispered, and couldn't help but sigh a little: "Sometimes I really admire these people in the Shi family, they really do everything, and they think of everything, they are so creative." ”

"Their brains are not on the right path," Xiancao followed Ruxi for so long, and her speech became more and more bold, "Madame also has a lot of creativity, and they are all delicious." ”

Ru Xi smiled and pinched the little face of the fairy grass: "The little girl is getting better and better at sycophants now, do you want to eat new snacks?" ”

"Any new snacks?" Outside the door was a clear and calm voice.

Ru Ji looked up, and quickly got up with a smile and greeted: "Mrs. Qin? Did you bring a friend with you today? Or chrysanthemum fruit tea? Yesterday there was a new chestnut crisp, waiting for you to send you a copy? ”

Mrs. Qin smiled and nodded, and there was an old couple who were about fifty or sixty years old, but they were in good spirits. The three of them went to the private room where Mrs. Qin usually went to eat tea and talk, Ruji didn't care because she was already a little familiar with Mrs. Qin, just asked someone to send tea and snacks.

After about two teas, Ru Xi was listening to Xiancao talk about some recent things that Chen Run and Cai Wan were preparing for the birth of their children, when suddenly there was a commotion outside Pu Weiji, and there was a faint sound of gold and iron.

Xia Yin's face changed earlier, and she went out to check the situation first.

At this time, after seeing a period of chaos outside, several people wearing Haiqing official uniforms followed Shi Renlang into Pu Weiji.

Ruji's heart tightened slightly, and she got up again: "Master Shi? ”

It's been a few months since we last met. At this time, Shi Renlang seemed to have been outside for a long time, his delicate face was a little red from the cold, but his eyes seemed to be much sharper, and he smiled lightly: "Mrs. Chen, the business in the house is really getting worse and worse, and now it is actually colluding with gangsters." ”

There are very few guests in Pu Weiji today, and the so-called gangsters refer to Mrs. Qin?

Ru Xi also laughed: "We open the door to do business, and we only sell tea and fruits, why is there any collusion or not collusion?" Isn't Master Shi a civil official of the Criminal Department, when did he start to control the theft? ”

"I'm just passing by, and arresting people is naturally Qiao's business." Shi Renlang seemed to have a draft, so he took half a step back and let the people around him.

Ru Xi frowned slightly, only then did she notice that the people around Shi Renlang seemed to be a little familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, she evoked super distant memories. At that time, it was probably when he and Chen Hao were not officially together, Shi Zhonglang once tried to frame Chen Hao, and it seemed that he had colluded with another head catcher of Jingzhao Yamen at that time. Ru Xi still vaguely remembers that Chen Hao seemed to have been taken away from his eyes by this head hunter surnamed Qiao at that time.

When the husband and wife chatted when they first got married, she also asked about the situation at that time, Chen Hao mentioned it casually, and didn't say too much, it was nothing more than that he was young but solved many cases, Qiao Zhutou was old and senior, but he was not as valued by Jing Zhaoyin as he was. This kind of mutual jealousy and exclusion in the workplace is very common, and it is just a matter of listening to it, after all, Chen Hao was later transferred to the Criminal Department, and he has nothing to do with this Qiao Zhutou.

"Mrs. Chen," Qiao Zhutou said coldly, "When we catch the bandits upstairs, you will also have to go with us to the yamen." With that, he led people directly to the private room upstairs.

"Madame!" Xia Yin walked out quickly to take a look before, but now he came back to Ruxi's side and whispered a few words, and Ruji's face immediately changed.

"Mrs. Chen, this time you have all the witnesses." Shi Renlang did not follow Qiao Zhutou and the others upstairs, but in front of the counter downstairs, he took a step closer to Ruxi, and looked at Ruxi condescendingly and sneered, "There are some things that you should regret." ”

A playful smile appeared on Ruji's lips: "Shi Renlang, it is you who should regret it, but it's too late for you to regret it now." ”

At this time, I heard a crackling sound upstairs, and then there were a few loud bangs, and Qiao Zhutou and the others actually rolled down!

"Quick...... Come on! There are bandits! Shi Renlang was a powerless scholar in the end, and he was shocked when he saw this, and immediately shouted out.

There was another sound of footsteps, but the few people who rushed over were the uniforms of the Criminal Department, and the leader was a middle-aged man in an official robe.

Shi Renlang was a little surprised: "Lord Zhao? ”

"Smack!" That Lord Zhao raised his hand and slapped him, shouting, "Get out!" ”

At this time, a little maid who Mrs. Qin often carried by her side poked her head out of the stairs and whispered: "If you want to make trouble, go out!" ”

"Yes, yes." That Lord Zhao responded continuously, and hurriedly left with the human rabbit like a wolf, and the voices outside quickly dispersed.

There was less than a cup of tea before and after, and Pu Weiji acted as if nothing had happened, only a little snow outside the door was trampled on and dirty, leaving many footprints, proving that the conflict just now had indeed happened.

Xiancao was so young that she was completely frightened: "Madam, this ......"

Ru Ji was actually a little nervous in her heart, patted the fairy grass casually, and then looked at Xia Yin: "It seems that you are not mistaken." ”

Xia Yin nodded: "Yes." ”

After another half cup of tea, Mrs. Qin and the old couple came downstairs and shook their heads: "The Shi family has long heard that the children of the Shi family are not in the capital, but it is also an eye-opener if they don't come to this point. ”

The old couple smiled: "Forget it, this is also common. ”

Mrs. Qin's face was still not very good: "It's really disappointing." He nodded to Ruji again, "Today's dim sum is good, but it has mixed up your business, I'm sorry." ”

Ru Ji hurriedly shook her head: "It's okay, it's okay, you just like that snack." ”

Mrs. Qin glanced at Ruxi, seemed to see through her thoughts, and didn't say anything, just motioned to the maid behind her to pay, and went out with the old couple.

Wait until the evening when Ruxi comes home to confirm with Chen Hao: "Did you already know that they were-"

Chen Hao patted her hand: "Isn't it better when you don't know?" Don't think about it so much, if it's like this now, they probably won't go in the future. ”

Ru Ji carefully recalled the past again, and there should be no rudeness, so she breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good." ”

Chen Hao thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "However, it is estimated that Shi Renlang should not be able to stay in the capital." ”

"Just can't stay in the capital?" Ru Ji was skeptical, "That's ......"

Chen Hao stretched out his arm lazily and took Ru Ji in his arms: "After all, he is the nephew of General Shi Ben, and he is also a two-rank jinshi." ”

"Okay." Ru Xi snuggled up to Chen Hao's chest, and some vague memories of the original owner's previous life seemed to surface, and she suddenly remembered a question - the day Chen Hao came back, Shi Renlang originally wanted to talk to her alone. She hates being threatened the most, and she knows that there must be no good words, so she keeps refusing. But now that he thinks that maybe Shi Renlang will leave Beijing, he suddenly became curious, what did he originally want to say at that time?

Chen Hao's prophecy soon came true, and a few days later, Shi Renlang went to Liangzhou, two thousand miles away, to release the order. Mrs. Shi Er cried at home and grabbed the ground, but Shi Renlang's face was like ashes, his heart was like ashes, and his whole person almost became a lump of ashes, and he didn't really explain what happened to Mrs. Shi Er.

Rushu finally broke out at this time, took scissors and forced each other to die, saying that she wanted to reconcile with Shi Renlang.

Shi Renlang actually didn't care, but Mrs. Shi Er didn't want to, but Rushu cried: "Actually, your son can't do it at all!" I'm still a virgin, why do I have to be a widow for the rest of my life! If you don't get along, I'll kill him and kill myself! ”

Second Mrs. Shi collapsed immediately, couldn't her own son do it? On the other hand, Rushu's threat is actually very lethal. She didn't say that if she didn't get along, she would kill her husband and then kill herself.

The so-called day and night defense, the house thief is difficult to prevent, if Rushu really has the intention of killing her husband, can she still be on guard day and night?

But at this time, Rushuhe left, so what should Shi Renlang's life be after he arrived in Liangzhou? Isn't it possible to marry a rough woman in a desolate place over there? Although Rushu said ruthlessly, in the end, Shi Renlang was too ruthless and didn't love his wife, but he didn't know if he was angry?

When the two sides were at a stalemate, Shi Renlang put forward a condition to Rushu: as long as he could meet Rushu alone before leaving, he would release his wife letter to Rushu for freedom.

In fact, they had secretly mentioned this condition before, otherwise Rushu would not have taken Shi Renlang to find Rushu when Chen Hao didn't go home. It's just that he was interrupted by Chen Hao last time, who can guarantee that it will be successful this time?

But Shi Renlang was also very resolute in treating Rushu: "If you can't do it, then even if I take your tablet on the road and turn you into a dead wife, you are also a member of my Shi family." ”

Rushu knew Shi Renlang's temperament, and finally decided to ask Rushu again.

Unexpectedly, Ruxi agreed this time, because she was really curious, what did Shi Renlang want to say?

Of course, the so-called meeting alone, but there was no Rushu and Chen Hao in front of Shi Renlang's eyes, in fact, the final location was in a single room in Pu Weiji, and Chen Hao had already hidden behind the screen.

"Shi Renlang, if you have something to say, just say it." The two finally came face to face, Ruxi looked at Shi Renlang, who was thin and lonely in a green cloth robe, and had some complicated feelings in her heart, and her voice was a little gentler.

Of course, it's not sympathy, but in the end, this is the man who the original owner once loved deeply in his memory. Ru Ji with the memory of the original owner, will also be infected a little bit. It's not that there is any soft-heartedness or attachment, but a kind of sigh that is difficult to explain.

Perhaps, Shi Renlang in the second life really once loved the cowardly and delicate Ruji at that time. It's just that his love ended later, after all, the clouds are easy to disperse and people's hearts are changeable.

"Ruji, why are you doing this to me?" Shi Renlang didn't hesitate too much, although Ru Ji agreed to meet, but clearly stated that there was only one tea time to meet, and he didn't have time to go around in circles.

Ru Ji frowned: "What do you mean by doing this to you?" We didn't have a relationship in the first place. ”

Shi Renlang looked straight at Ruji: "I like you so much, why do you keep avoiding me like a snake and scorpion?" No matter what Rushu has done, I haven't accepted it, and I only like you. ”

Ru Xi was slightly suffocated, and suddenly regretted her curiosity - what did Chen Hao think at this moment? But after another thought, in fact, Shi Renlang's previous intentions, Chen Hao also knew.

It's just that Shi Renlang at this moment seems to be really sincere.

Ru Xi groaned for a few breaths, then looked up: "Because I like Chen Hao, I like him, so I naturally want to avoid other men." ”

"You're lying." Shi Renlang shook his head, "Before you met him, you were cold and tight to me. But it wasn't like that, when we first met, it wasn't like that. What's wrong with me? You're going to do this to me? ”

If you are sinking, do you want to tell the truth?

The happiness he obtained was inherited from the original owner's body and identity, and only then did he have his fate and family with Chen Hao. The meeting with Shi Renlang at this moment is probably the last time in this life, do you want to give him an explanation for the sake of the original owner?

"Because all you like is yourself." Ru Ji paused and continued, "The favorite you are obsessed with is not that you like me, but that you can't ask for it. If you are really the humble gentleman you think you are, you should not treat Rushu like this. If you don't like her, why marry her. If you marry her, you should love her and respect her. I see how you treat Rushu now, and I know that if I was with you at the beginning, I will be the same as her now. ”

"How so!" Shi Renlang said loudly, "How can she compare with you?" How could I do this to you! ”

Ru Xi looked at his suddenly flushed face, knowing that his excitement at the moment was not fake, and sank again, before slowly saying, "You will." Even if you have some sincerity at first, once you get it, it doesn't matter so much. In the future, I may see that the daughter of my teacher is better, the girl of the Lu family is better, and the young lady of the Yao family is better, and the previous sincerity will be thrown away. ”

Shi Renlang frowned: "You ......" Ru Xi said these words very slowly, but with an inexplicable sincerity and sadness, as if everything was really in front of her eyes, he suddenly felt a shock in his heart, and he didn't know how to deal with it.

"But it doesn't matter." Ru Xi said lightly, "There are so many people and things in this world who can't ask for it, who is not one of them." I have half of the blood relationship with Rushu, if you still have half a sense of guilt or faith for her, let her go. This goes to Liangzhou, the mountains and rivers are far away, Shi Gongzi, take care. ”

This gentle and faint sentence of "Shi Gongzi, take care" fell on Shi Renlang's ears like a hammer, and the vague beauty of the first meeting seemed to rush to his heart, but then there was an overwhelming huge disappointment and sadness.

With the last bit of self-esteem and pride, Shi Renlang finally got up and left, and didn't say anything more.

Rushu was finally able to leave peacefully and returned to her hometown in Jiyang with her dowry, and she did not contact her second sister Ruyan, who was silent in the palace of Qi County, and sent a message, but left a gift for Ruxi, and there was no news.

"Chen Hao, now I really only have you and Nuan Nuan." Looking at the swallow silk in the gift, Ru Xi began to think back to the predicament she had just crossed, and the memories of the original lord's previous life in her mind were all kinds of things, step by step to the present, almost all the people were different, and her current life was also completely unimagined in the past.

Chen Hao wrapped Ruxi and Nuan Nuan together in his arms: "That's enough." ”

"Yes." She looked up and kissed him, "That's enough." ”
