Chapter 25 Disputes

When the Yu family heard that the people from the Yamen had arrived, they quickly sneaked away. Before Yu could talk to Ran Mi, Ran Mi was taken away by the head and the officials. Yu Shi was really not at ease, so he immediately asked people to prepare a sedan chair and rushed to the yamen to take a look.

Ran Mi didn't know what was going on at all, he didn't pay attention to it when the Yu family came to tell him, but now that he saw Yu Fang in the yamen, he felt that something was wrong. Although Ran Mi is not smart, he is not stupid in this obvious situation now, and naturally knows that things may not be as simple as he thinks.

After seeing his brother, sister-in-law, and Yu Fang in the court, the Yu family who came later was also a little confused, and hurriedly walked over and asked, "Big brother, sister-in-law, what's going on?" ”

Seeing that Yu was coming, Yu Zhi frowned slightly and said, "It's okay, don't worry." ”

Mrs. Yu pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief and didn't say anything, but she seemed to know that it was not okay.

Yu wanted to ask again, but was interrupted by Lord Xu's words, so he had to stand aside and listen to the trial together.

"Are you Wan Pingbo's eldest son, Ran Mi?" Master Xu asked.

"Yes, yes." Ran Mi couldn't figure out the situation and was very restrained. This Lord Xu looked a hundred times stricter than his father, and Ran Mi felt like his legs and stomach were turning when he saw him, and he didn't dare to make a mistake at all.

Lord Xu looked at Cao Sheng again and asked, "It's this person who bought your dagger?" ”

When Ran Mi heard the words, he also looked at Cao Sheng, and then asked with some surprise, "Why are you here?" ”

Ran Mi's words immediately proved that he did recognize Cao Sheng, and Cao Sheng's words were even more credible.

Cao Sheng glanced at Ran Mi, recognized it, and said, "Lord Hui, it is this son." ”

Lord Xu nodded, asked people to show the dagger to Ran Mi, and asked, "Do you recognize this dagger?" ”

Ran Mi looked at the dagger, still a little puzzled, but still replied honestly: "This is what I bought from the Cao family's shop a few months ago." Although the outer cover is gone, looking at the handle, Ran Mi still recognizes it. He was optimistic about this dagger because the color and pattern of the dagger matched the clothes he was wearing that day.

Hearing Ran Mi admit that the dagger was his, Yu Fang also breathed a sigh of relief, but he hadn't completely relaxed. He had seen his little servant leave quickly, he guessed that he should have gone to find Ran Mi, as long as Ran Mi didn't say that he had given him the dagger, he would definitely be able to get away with it.

"Do you always carry this dagger with you?" Master Xu asked again.

Ran Mi thought of Xiao Mi's request and said, "This, I didn't lose this dagger in a few days after I bought it." ”

"Oh?" Lord Xu bit the word very hard, obviously didn't believe it, and asked again: "When did you lose it?" ”

"This ......" Ran Mi's breathing was already a little heavy, this was different from the usual time when he coaxed the Yu family at home, the Yu family would not do anything to him if he knew about it, but Lord Xu had a guillotine!

After thinking for a while, Ran Mi said: "I can't remember the specifics, but it's just three or five days after I bought the dagger." ”

Yu Fang on the side saw him stammering, and his heart was also on fire, feeling that this Ran Mi just couldn't get on the stage, and could only show off his might in private. If it weren't for the court, he would have been eager to kick Ran.

Master Xu didn't continue to ask about the dagger, but asked, "Where are you on the night of June 17?" ”

Ran Mi was stunned for a moment and said, "My lord, it's been so long, how can I remember?" In fact, his life is very monotonous, except for sleeping in the house, he just goes out to play. And that time was hot, and Yu was afraid that he would work hard in class, so he specially stopped his class and did not continue to study until after the autumn.

"Do you recognize this jade pendant?" Lord Xu asked Ran Mi to show the jade pendant.

Ran Mi recognized it at a glance and said, "This is the Yu family's jade pendant, and my mother also has a piece, which is now in my sister's hands." ”

"Do you have a good relationship with your sister?" Lord Xu's question seems a bit confusing.

Ran Mi nodded without hesitation. Although Ran Ji is a little wordy and annoying, it is his own sister, which is naturally unusual.

Lord Xu pondered for a moment, then looked at Ran Mi again.

Ran Mi was a little hairy by him, and he couldn't bear it anymore, so he asked, "What is the so-called matter when the adults called me?" Please also make it clear. ”

Lord Xu no longer sold Guan Zi to Ran Mi, and said directly: "On the evening of June 17 this year, the palace maid Zhi'er was killed in the alley. After evidence from all sides, the person who possessed this begonia jade pendant and dagger was suspected of committing a crime. After investigation, this dagger belongs to you, and you are close to your sister, so it is easy to take the Yu family's begonia jade pendant, so ......"

"My lord! I was wronged! Before Lord Xu could finish speaking, Ran Mi, who had always been timid, had already collapsed and returned to the ground and shouted loudly.

When Yu heard this, his body was also crooked, and he almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, a maid helped him.

Master Xu was not in a hurry, and continued: "Originally, the most suspicious was Yu Fang, but Yu Fang said that the dagger was not his, and he didn't know Zhi'er at all. After the investigation, you become the biggest suspect. ”

"Yu let you fart!" Ran Mi's face turned from white to red with anger, and he pointed at Yu Fang and said, "Okay, you Yu Fang, you are our cousin in vain, you actually framed me like this!" "If it's just a trivial matter, it's human life, Ran Mi must make his words clear and clear himself!

Yu Fang's face was even more ugly at this time, he didn't expect Ran Mi to be so unfrightened.

"What the hell is going on? How can my Mi'er kill someone? Release! You say, what's going on?! Yu asked loudly. She absolutely didn't believe that Ran Mi would kill someone, and judging from the current situation, it was obvious that someone wanted to wronged her Mi'er.

"Quiet!" Lord Xu was shocked and slapped Yu's arrogance.

"My lord! Yu Fang has known Zhi'er for a long time, Zhi'er is his best friend outside, he said that he didn't know Zhi'er, he was lying! For the sake of his own life, Ran Mi didn't dare to lie, and he couldn't wait to spit out everything he knew, "That Zhi'er is the person next to Lile Si Leqing, when Yu Fang coaxed Zhi'er into his hands, he was proud for several days, and told me several times. When I was listening to a play once, Yu Fang brought her, I also met once, and her appearance was not good, but Yu Fang never cared about this, all he cared about was whether the girl could take the bait. My lord, I just found out about the murder of Miss Zhi'er. I did buy that dagger, but within a few days, Yu Fang fell in love with him, he was my cousin, and the dagger was not particularly expensive, so I gave it to him. This matter really has nothing to do with me, although I have a good relationship with my sister, but I will not touch her personal things. That piece of begonia jade Peiyu put it on his body all day. ”

Ran Mi can be said to have sold Yu Fang cleanly. The speed was so fast that Ran Ning, who was listening behind the screen, was a little surprised. She knew that her brother was a dou who couldn't be helped, but she didn't think that Lord Xu's just a few words would make him frightened and couldn't care about anything.

Ran Ning looked at Zhong Su and asked, "Did you guess this result a long time ago?" What was supposed to be her testifying turned into Ran Mi's revelation, and she found that the matter of Yu Pei was just brushed aside.

"Only when you know a person thoroughly do you know what works best for them." Zhong Su said lightly, but the confidence in his eyes still couldn't be ignored.

Ran Ning also began to admire Zhong Su, she never thought that things would actually develop in this direction, and now she no longer has to worry about the rumors that may be brought by exposing her mother's family, maybe she can make the Yu family and the Yu family turn against each other.

Yu Fang glared at Ran Mi, his eyes full of hatred. said loudly: "Ran Mi, you have to talk nonsense!" When have I ever taken your dagger? As for your broken dagger, I'm not uncommon! ”

Ran Mi doesn't care about him, he is not afraid of him, nothing is as important as his life, "My lord, the reason why I said that the dagger was lost is entirely because Yu Fang's little servant came to me before the official arrived at Wanpingbo's Mansion, let me be sure to say that the dagger was lost, not given to Yu Fang." I didn't think much of it at the time, so I agreed. Who knew that human life was at stake, and I wouldn't shield the murderer. ”

The Yu family also heard that Ran Mi was indeed wronged, and shouted at Yu Zhi: "Big brother, did you send that little guy to our Wanping Bo Mansion?" Okay, you're my own brother, and you actually came to frame my son in order to protect your son?! "Ran Mi is the lifeblood of the Yu family, the baby is amazing, she also understood it just now, Yu Fang is still kneeling inside, and only her eldest brother can instruct the little girl to their Wanpingbo Mansion.

"Sister, Mi'er must be confused, I've never seen that dagger in Fang'er's hand?" Yu glanced at Yu's envoy, hoping that she would make Ran Mi change her words, as long as the person was not killed by Ran Mi, she would definitely be able to fish Ran Mi out.

"You're confused! Fang'er took Mi'er's dagger to commit murder, and wanted to blame my Mi'er, and dare to say that my Mi'er was confused?! Yu's voice was raised, this was a matter of reputation, and she couldn't allow Ran Mi's reputation to be damaged.

"Auntie, my cousin is really confused. If I ask my cousin for some jade and the like, what is the use of such a dagger? Yu Fang knew that Ran Mi's side didn't make sense, so he could only start from Yu's side, maybe there was still a glimmer of hope. As long as the little guy keeps his mouth shut, there is still room to turn around.

And what none of them expected was that the Yu family was a little crazy now, killing people was a big crime, as long as her son could get rid of the crime, who would she care to die? What's more, she decided that the Yu family was just going to blame Ran Mi, and she didn't dare to let go at all, "You dare to say that your little servant didn't run to our Wanpingbo Mansion just now?" Everyone around Ran Mi can testify, you just want to frame Mi'er for false testimony for you! ”

"As far as your son is concerned, isn't it important for me to put my baby in my house?" Mrs. Yu, who couldn't bear it anymore, also spoke, and said to Yu: "Ran Mi has always liked to do nonsense, how credible can his words be?" Is it just because he has one mouth that he wants to frame my family and let my children go? ”

"You all know about Yu Fang, don't mess around with me here. Today, you have wronged my Mi'er, and I will seek justice for Mi'er! "The Yu family doesn't care about the relationship between her mother's concubine at all, and she doesn't want the demeanor of the lady in the main room, these are not as important to her as Ran Mi's life.

Ran Ning listened to the chatter outside and only felt pain. Whether it is justified or justified, or nonsense, the facts are already very clear, and no matter what, it can't change the fact that Yu Fang killed Zhi'er. And the Yu family seems to be breaking with the Yu Mansion this time, but I don't know how my father will react when he finds out.

Zhong Su also seemed to frown a little impatiently, obviously not liking such a quarrel.

Ran Ning saw that he seemed a little uncomfortable, and asked, "Do you want to go out for a walk?" ”

"Hmm." Zhong Su nodded and said, "I'll go by myself, you stay here." ”

"Okay." Ran Ning didn't object, she still wanted to hear the verdict announced.

Zhong Su didn't say anything more, got up and left the public hall through the side door on their side, there was a screen to block it, and no one saw it.

Looking at the background of Zhong Su's departure, Ran Ning silently wrote it down in her heart - Zhong Su is happy and quiet, and the yard must be clean in the future.

Chapter 26 New Certificates

Lord Xu let a few people quarrel for a while, and he also got a lot of useful information in this quarrel. Seeing that it was almost over, he slapped the startled wood again and signaled everyone to be quiet.

Master Xu swept around the people of the Yu family, and then asked, "Ran Mi, which little guy did you say asked you to commit perjury?" ”

As soon as the little guy heard that the official master was really coming at him, he was so frightened that his neck shrunk and wanted to walk away. But Ran Mi's eyes were sharp, and he saw him at once, and immediately pointed at him and said, "It's him!" ”

The speed of the official was also very fast, and he immediately sent the little servant to the court.

"What's your name, and whose little guy is it?" Master Xu asked routinely.

"Small, small called Xing, yes...... It's Young Master Yu's little guy. Lai Xingyi was also a little cowardly when he came in, which was completely different from what he looked at outside.

"How many years have you been with Yu Fang?" Master Xu asked again.

"It's been ten years." Let's answer.

Laixing looks like seventeen or eighteen, he can stay by Yu Fang's side for so many years, and he has followed him since he was a child, so he is naturally a powerful person.

"Do you know what Yu Fang committed?" Master Xu felt that if he could pry open this little guy's mouth, he might make unexpected discoveries.

Lai Xing's eyes turned from side to side uncontrollably, and said, "No...... I don't know. ”

"Hey, you dog minion!" When Ran Mi heard him say this, he immediately stopped, "You took a lot of reward from Young Master Ben in the past, and now you have thrown me aside for the sake of your young master?" If it weren't for the fact that you are Yu Fang's little girl, do you think I would believe your nonsense to commit perjury? I can tell you that your young master will not end well, if you are stubborn, the end will be the same as him! ”

Ran Mi's words seemed to frighten Laixing, Laixing's mouth moved, and he didn't say anything.

Ran Ning felt ridiculous when she heard it in the back, this is to deal with scoundrels, and it really depends on scoundrels.

Lord Xu saw that Ran Mi had ordered all the words, so he followed his words and said, "Ran Mi said it well. If your master is sentenced for murder, you will not be able to get rid of it as his servant. If it is found that you were also involved, or if you did not report it, you will also be guilty of being an accessory. ”

When Lai Xing heard this, his face turned white. He has never read a book, he has followed Yu Fang since he was a child, and with a sweet mouth, he has won Yu Fang's trust, and he has been better than ordinary little guys I don't know how many times. Now he suddenly told him that he might be an accomplice, and he would be blinded after a while, he never thought of living and dying with Yu Fang.

Seeing Laixing's reaction, Lord Xu had a number in his heart, and continued: "If you can atone for your crimes, this government can spare your life, and after serving the punishment, you can leave the capital and start again." ”

When Lai Xing heard that he could save his life, his eyes immediately flashed with light, and he said loudly: "I said, I will say everything!" ”

When Yu Fang heard this, the hands on his side clenched tightly, and he couldn't kill this little guy immediately.

Lai Xing, like Ran Mi, immediately gushed out in order to clear himself: "My lord, my young master does know Miss Zhi'er. They met while listening to books in a teahouse, and after learning the identity of Miss Zhi'er, the young master began to trick Miss Zhi'er into wanting to carry her into the mansion as a concubine. Miss Zhi'er originally didn't believe it, but the young master entrusted some connections to get Miss Zhi'er to leave the palace every month, so every time Miss Zhi'er left the palace, the young master would find her. But no one thought that it didn't take long for Miss Zhi'er to become pregnant, and then she began to force the young master to carry her into the mansion as the main room, thinking that the mother was more expensive than the child. How could the young master let a maid who served people be the main room? And Miss Zhi'er relied on her pregnancy, saying that if she didn't obey her, she would make a fuss, and when the time came, it would be Yu Fu's face that would be lost, and the young master would be irritable for a long time. ”

"On the night of June 17, Zhi'er made an appointment to meet the young master. When I was young, I ate something bad and felt unwell, so I didn't follow it. When the young master came back, the little one saw that the young master's clothes were covered with blood on his hands, and in one hand he was still holding the shell of the dagger that the young master had given to the young master, but there was no shadow of the dagger. After that, the young master took off his clothes and ordered me to burn them, I was still a little feverish because of gastrointestinal discomfort, my brain was not very clear, and I didn't think much about it, I just thought that the young master was fighting with someone, so I didn't ask much. ”

"I woke up the next morning, much better, and realized something was wrong. At that time, the clothes had not had time to burn, so I looked through them carefully, and felt that even if the young master fought with someone, he would definitely not get so much blood. I was afraid that something would happen, so I quietly found a place and buried my clothes. When the young master woke up, he suddenly gave me a tray of silver, and the little one saw the money at that time, so he agreed not to mention the events of that night. Just now, the old man asked the little one to find the young master, and the little one went. The words he said were also commanded by the master. The young master's murder of Miss Zhi'er was indeed not involved, and he did not know in advance, so please check it out. ”

Laixing's narrative is equivalent to restoring the events of that night, and it also completely reveals the relationship between Yu Fang and Zhi'er.

Although the facts were in front of him, Yu Fang still resolutely refused to admit it, and said loudly: "Come to Xing, you say!" Have you been bribed to frame me like this? I don't know any Zhi'er at all, and as soon as I hear this name, I know that I can't get into the eyes of Young Master Ben at all. ”

"Really?" A strict female voice came, and everyone looked over in unison, and saw that Lord Le Qing didn't know when he came outside the hall.

Yu Fang didn't know Le Qing, and said coldly: "Who are you?" Is there a part of your interjection here? ”

Lord Xu waved his hand and motioned for the official to let Lord Leqing in.

Le Qing walked into the court, saluted Lord Xu, and then stood in front of Yu Fang and said, "Who am I?" Oh, I'm Zhi'er's godmother, Lile Si Leqing. ”

Yu Fang was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his previous expression and said, "Lord Xu is trying the case, what are you doing with Le Qing?" ”

Le Qing sneered and said, "I'm also here for Zhi'er's business." With that, Le Qing took off the burden on his body, handed it to Lord Xu, and said: "Lord Xu, these are Zhi'er's relics, Zhi'er's hidden secrets, I only found them last night, there are letters written by Yu Fang to Zhi'er, purses and jewelry for Zhi'er...... These are enough to prove that Yu Fang knows Zhi'er and has intimate contacts with Zhi'er. ”

Seeing this, Yu Fang couldn't say a word. He didn't expect Zhi'er to store the things he sent separately. He had instructed Zhi'er to burn those letters after reading them, so as not to cause trouble, but he didn't expect Zhi'er to burn them. There was also the purse, there was a time when Zhi'er said that the money taken out of the palace was not enough, and he wanted to buy some snacks to go back to satisfy his hunger, but he didn't care, so he directly threw the purse to Zhi'er, and there was not much silver in it at that time, so he didn't want to come back. And what surprised him even more was that he originally thought that when Zhi'er died, things should be collected and thrown away, after all, she was just a palace maid, and no one cared, but he didn't expect that not only were the things not thrown away, but they were also well kept, and they were actually found......

Lord Xu asked the official to show the purse to the embroidery girl before, and the embroidery girl was very sure that this one was from the Yu Mansion as well as the previous one. Le Qing also took a closer look and agreed with the words of the embroidery girl. Lord Xu opened the letter again, it was full of love words, and the payment was also made by Yu Fang, which shows that Yu Fang and Zhi'er are indeed in that kind of relationship.

Seeing this, in order to further clear himself up, he made up for his mistakes and said where he buried his clothes. The official quickly rushed over, dug up the clothes, and brought them back. Although there was a lot of dirt on the clothes, the blood stains were still obvious, and the shell of the dagger was also there.

Now that the evidence is conclusive, Yu Fang can no longer deny it, the gray on his face is obvious, and he muttered to himself: "She forced me, that slut, she forced me!" How could I possibly marry her? It's a dream......

When Mrs. Yu saw Yu Fang's appearance, she fainted directly. Yu Zhi's face was also so cloudy that it could drip water. Yu was quite proud, at least he cleared Ran Mi's charges.

Yu Fang was imprisoned on two charges of murdering the palace maid Zhi'er and hiring someone to assassinate Ran Ning. Lai Xing was temporarily detained and waited for the release because he did not report it, and the three men in black were also escorted back to prison, and Ran Mi was acquitted.

When Yu Fang heard that Yu Fang hired someone to kill Ran Ning in an unsuccessful attempt, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, Wan Pingbo's Mansion didn't get the news, she had to go back and talk to Wan Pingbo. But at the same time, she couldn't help but think that Ran Ning was a girl's family, and she didn't know martial arts, so she couldn't hide from assassination at all, and injuries were inevitable. I just don't know how the injury is, if it's seriously injured or disfigured, it's very happy!

Mr. Zhao said "quit", and the case was over. The best ending of Yu Fang is exile, and the worst is capital crime, because he is the son of an official, so Lord Xu will finally present this matter to the emperor for decision.

Ran Ning was supposed to go to greet Le Qing, but it was really inconvenient for her to show up now, so she had to do it.

Le Qing didn't stay long, and when he left, his face was not happy after revenge, but more pale with sadness.

When Ran Ning returned to the backyard, she saw Zhong Su standing under the tree waiting for her.

Ran Ning walked over and told Zhong Su the result. Zhong Su didn't pay much attention to it after hearing this, and said, "Take you to lunch, and then send you back to Wanpingbo Mansion." ”

"Okay." Ran Ning didn't object. As soon as the case spreads today, her father must know about her assassination, and now is not the time to expose her private relationship with Zhong Su, so going back early can save a lot of trouble.

This time, Zhong Su took Ran Ning to the □□ building not far from the yamen, and the two of them arrived one after the other, which was not noticeable.

After Xiao Er served the dishes, he withdrew from the private room and helped them close the door.

"Eat." Zhong Su clamped a pigeon leg for Ran Ning.

After Ran Ning thanked her, she began to eat. During this period, the two of them didn't talk much, and Zhong Su occasionally added some tea to her. Ran Ning was really hungry, and she ate a little more than usual.

When the two of them were full, Ran Ning held the teacup and asked, "Did you say that Yu Fang would be beheaded?" ”

Zhong Su thought for a moment and said, "I don't know." But...... The result is all the same. ”

"What do you mean?" Ran Ning was puzzled, what does it mean that the result is the same?

"Nothing." Zhong Su didn't want to explain too much.

Seeing this, Ran Ning didn't ask much, she just had to wait and see the results.

The sun outside the window was just right, Ran Ning somehow suddenly thought of Le Qing, and said: "Zhi'er is also a fool, she has been by Le Qing's side for so many years, and she doesn't know that it is difficult to climb the powerful, and it is much happier to find a confidant than to cling to the powerful." I don't know if Le Qing can pass this hurdle after the case is closed. She could see that Le Qing's feelings for Zhi'er were still very deep.

Zhong Su raised his hand and touched Ran Ning's hair, and said, "Don't worry about other people's business." Everyone has their own position and what they want to do and do. ”

Ran Ning smiled, what Zhong Su said made sense, how many things can she manage alone? It's better to take care of your own business.

Thinking of this, Ran Ning asked, "Then what do you want to do and do now?" ”

Zhong Su's eyes became deeper as he watched her, and after a while, he said in a very nice and gentle voice, "Marry you." ”

Ran Ning's heart suddenly felt numb, her face and ears turned red, and she lowered her head and stopped talking......

Chapter 27 Ending

After lunch, Zhong Su sent Ran Ning back. It was still not delivered to the door, the carriage was still parked some distance from Bofu, and Zhong Su still did not get off. After Ran Ning said goodbye to Zhong Su, he walked towards Bofu. With such a short few steps, Ran couldn't help but think, the next time I see Zhong Su, I'm afraid it's time to get married, right?

And Zhong Su, who was sitting in the car, was thinking, when would he be able to follow Ran Ning into Bofu openly? Maybe you really have to wait until you get married, right?

Bizhu didn't go back to the house with Ran Ning, Zhong Su said that he would ask Xiao Wu to send Bizhu back later, Bizhu was unwell, and Ran Ning also felt that it was better to let her rest in bed as much as possible.

As soon as he entered the door, the housekeeper greeted him, and when he saw that Ran Ning was fine, his heart seemed to be relieved, and he hurriedly said, "Third girl, you are back, Uncle is waiting for you in the study." The people from the yamen came at noon and told me about your assassination, but they frightened the people in the house. The official said that you are fine, and you are cooperating with the investigation in the yamen, and the uncle also put a little snack, and is preparing to send a soft sedan chair to pick you up after noon. ”

As soon as the case ended today, Lord Xu lined up the officials to come to Wanpingbo's Mansion to explain the situation, after all, this matter involved the two little masters of Wanpingbo's Mansion, so naturally he wanted to inform him.

The Yu family didn't know what happened, but they only knew that Ran Ning was assassinated by Yu Fang's hired people, and they wanted to add fuel to the fire to say that Ran Ning was okay in front of Wan Pingbo, and by the way, they helped Ran Mi, who was frightened today, to redress her grievances, and the officials came. And 1510 told everything that had happened, and should follow Lord Xu's instructions, and did not mention half a word about the clock. This is also what Zhong Su means.

Wan Pingbo was both surprised and angry when he heard this, his daughter was assassinated and his son was wronged, wasn't this a slap in the face? I didn't take them into account at all. And it was Yu's nephew who did these things, which is really hateful. He knew about Ran Ning's murder, but he never expected that the murderer was actually Yu Fang, and Yu Fang also found someone to assassinate Ran Ning in order to prevent Ran Ning from identifying Yu Pei. And if Ran Mi hadn't followed Yu Fang all day long, he wouldn't have encountered this kind of thing. Thinking of the Yu family again, Wan Pingbo was even more annoyed, his wife's maiden family could actually do such a thing, so vicious, even if he and the Yu family had a bad relationship with him, others would still look at him with strange eyes, after all, his wife was still the Yu family, how could he stand up and be a man in the officialdom in the future?

Wan Pingbo was angry, and punished Ran Mi to think about it behind closed doors. Let the Yu family not go out before Ran Ning gets married, and stay in the house honestly to handle Ran Ning's marriage.

Yu didn't expect that not only did he not get Wan Pingbo's pity and comfort, but he was angered. She didn't hate what her brother's family did, but her father was still there, and she couldn't break off the relationship with the Yu Mansion.

When he came to the study, Ran Ning asked Wan Pingbo for peace. Wan Pingbo hurriedly excused her, and was relieved to see that she was really fine. asked some more details, and Ran Ning answered them one by one. This time, her tone was no longer as calm as usual, but deliberately made Wan Pingbo feel that she was frightened and a little afraid. After all, she knew that Zhong Su would keep her safe, but others didn't know. She had to pretend that she didn't know she was going to be assassinated, and then she was frightened to get her father to believe her.

This kind of timely disguise Lao Wan Pingbo taught her, but she hadn't used it before, on the one hand, it was unnecessary, and on the other hand, she felt enough to look at Yu and Zhao all day long, she didn't want to be like that. But in today's situation, she decided to use it anyway, although it was not a tenth of what her grandfather taught her, but it was enough for her father.

After hearing this, Wan Pingbo became even more angry with Yu. He has a good daughter, he didn't do anything wrong, obviously Yu Fang hurt someone, and he still wants to hurt his daughter again? If something really happened to his daughter, how could he explain it to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion? What if the scholar was moody, what if he was unreasonably angry with him?

"My father knows about this, and you are scared, go back to your room and rest early. The day of your marriage is getting closer and closer, and you have to bring your spirit back. Wan Pingbo said. Seeing Ran Ning like this, he couldn't help but think of the Yuan family, if something really happened to Ran Ning, he would not be able to explain to the Yuan family in the future.

"Yes." Ran Ning responded, and also felt that the heat was almost over.

Wan Pingbo looked at the maids standing outside the study and asked, "Where are your maids?" Coming back with you? ”

"Nope. In order to protect me, Bizhu was injured a little and was recuperating in the yamen, and Lord Xu said that he would send someone to send her back in the evening, and it was not appropriate to move now. Ran Ning said. She directly pushed Bizhu's injury onto the assassin, not ready to mention Zhong Su at all.

"That girl is also faithful." After speaking, Wan Pingbo called the housekeeper and said, "When the girl comes back, reward her with ten taels of silver." In addition, strengthen the guards in Ranning Courtyard, so as not to make any more trouble. Ran Ning's meal also makes the kitchen use more snacks, and the frightened pearl ginseng tea should not be broken. ”

"Yes." The butler immediately answered.

"Thank you, father." Ran Ning saluted Wan Pingbo, "That daughter retired first." ”

"Well, go ahead. You don't have to go to your mother's morning and dusk these days, just rest more. Wan Pingbo felt that when Ran Ning saw Yu's, he would most likely think of Yu Fang, which would definitely not be good for self-cultivation, so it would be okay not to go for the time being.

"Yes."

The next day, Ran Mi killed his relatives in righteousness, and the news of exposing the real murderer of the palace maid Zhi'er spread the news. Ran Mi, who was not popular at all, suddenly became much more famous, and although there were occasional whispers, they were quickly overshadowed.

Ran Mi was grounded in the mansion and couldn't realize the change in the attitude of outsiders towards him, but when he heard the little guy talking about the rumors outside, and adding fuel and vinegar to the people's admiration for him, he suddenly felt fluttering.

Yu was still angry that Ran Ning didn't have to come to ask for peace early in the morning, but when he heard the rumors outside, he felt a lot better. She knew more or less about Ran Mi's reputation, and she was very worried about it for a while, but now that Ran Mi has made a contribution, her reputation is very different, and she can also breathe a sigh of relief.

Ran Ning was not as happy as Yu and Ran Mi when she heard this rumor, not that she couldn't see Ran Mi well, but that the more this rumor spread, the more ruthless the Yu family became. When the Yu family asks for help from his mother's family one day and wants to redeem it, it will be too late. But none of this has anything to do with her, and she's not going to remind her.

Three days later, before the rumors had dissipated, there was surprising news from the Yamen - Lile Si Leqing stabbed Yu Fang to death in prison.

For a while, the news of Yu Fang's killing overshadowed the previous rumors of Ran Mi's righteous annihilation. When the Yu family heard the news, they immediately sent someone to the yamen to inquire, and the people were still speculating about the truth or falsehood, but when they saw the white curtain hung in the Yu Mansion and the sound of crying, they knew that it was true.

Ran Ning was also stunned for a long time after hearing the news, she was surprised by Le Qing's approach, and she had some understanding in some kind of Cheng dù. Lord Le Qing was bent on letting Yu Fang resist his fate, but because Zhi'er herself was also at fault, the emperor would probably look at Yu Fang's grandfather's face in the Ministry of Industry and leave a way for Yu Fang to live. And in order to completely cut off this way of life, Le Qing did not hesitate to finish off Yu Fang with his own hands.

Suddenly, Ran Ning remembered that during the meal, she asked Zhong Su if Yu Fang would be sentenced to death, and Zhong Su said that the result was the same.

This made her wonder, did Zhong Su have expected Yu Fang's death a long time ago?

But now is not the time for her to dwell on this issue, she feels the need to meet Le Qing, after all, she is still a person from the Rite and Music Division, and it is impossible for her to pretend not to know if something like this happens.

When Yu heard the news, he was also silent for a long time. She hated Yu Fang for actually framing Ran Mi, but when Yu Fang really died, she still died like this, and she felt a little sad in her heart. Yu Fang is her nephew after all, although he doesn't say that he is filial to her, he has never made her angry before. Now that people are gone, it is impossible for her, an elder, to be indifferent. The Yu family has such a grandson, and it is also a question of who the Yu family will hand over in the future.

Although Wan Pingbo didn't let her go out, she had to go to her mother's funeral. It happened that Wan Pingbo was not in the mansion, so the Yu family changed into plain clothes, took two subordinates, and returned to the Yu mansion to mourn.

didn't think that before he entered the mansion, he was stopped by Mrs. Yu, who was already a little confused, and scolded Ran Mi for killing Yu Fang, which attracted many onlookers. When the Yu family heard that she had wronged Ran Mi like this, the anger also rushed up, so the two of them quarreled at the door of Yu's mansion. In the end, it was Yu Shangshu who went out to make the two stop. Mrs. Yu continued to cry and grab the ground, and Yu saw that her father was not facing her, so she went back to Wanpingbo's Mansion in a fit of anger.

Bizhu's body is not yet complete, and Ran Ning won't let her get out of bed to serve, anyway, there are other maids in the yard, so it doesn't hurt to use it for a few days.

Ran Ning has been thinking about finding an opportunity to see Le Qing, but she doesn't know where Le Qing is being held, after all, Le Qing is a female official, and it is impossible to be locked up in the prison of the government office. And if she wants to visit, she needs to do it first, she has never done such a thing before, and she has no idea where to start.

At noon that day, Ran Ning was eating alone in the room, and a small pebble suddenly flew in from the window and landed right at Ran Ning's feet. Ran Ning saw that there was still a note tied to the stone, and immediately leaned over to pick it up, opened the note, and there was still only one sentence on it - if you want to visit Le Qing, you can go out under the pretext of three o'clock today.

The inscription is Zhong Su, and there is still the seal of Zhong Su on it.

Ran Ning didn't know how Zhong Su guessed that she wanted to see Le Qing, but it was not a surprise for her to receive such news, and she also had a sense of joy.

At three o'clock, Ran Ning found an excuse to go out to see today's Mu Xiu Lile Division Zou Le, so he took Bizhu out. Originally, she didn't want to take Bizhu out, but she wanted to go out, and it was impossible not to bring someone with her. And to see Zhong Su, only with Bizhu is the most assured.

In fact, Bizhu kept saying that he was okay and could continue to serve Ran Ning, but Ran Ning didn't let him. This time, Ran Ning had no choice, so she had to call Bizhu out and go out together.

Bizhu also knew about Le Qing's killing of Yu Fang, but she didn't dare to ask in detail, after all, it still sounded quite scary.

Zhong Su didn't say which direction they were going to go after they went out, Ran Ning thought about it, and found a way casually, anyway, Zhong Su didn't say, nine times out of ten he was sure that no matter how she went, he could find her.

Sure enough, not long after she and Bizhu left, Zhong Su's carriage drove over from another road, and the coachman and the smiling Xiao Wu were still sitting in front of the car.

The carriage stopped in front of the two, Xiao Wu jumped out of the car, saluted Ran Ning, and said, "Third girl, please." ”

Ran Ning nodded, was helped by Bizhu to get into the car, and as soon as he lifted the curtain, he saw Zhong Su sitting in the car waiting for him. The smell of Zhong Su's body still lingered in the car, which made Ran Ning feel very relieved. She was still wondering if she would not be able to see Zhong Su again until she got married, but she didn't expect to meet again in a few days. For such a meeting, Ran Ning didn't hate it, and even felt a little happy, but she could only keep this joy in her heart and know it by herself.
