Chapter 06 Provocation

After the official explained the situation to Wan Pingbo, Wan Pingbo asked the housekeeper to send the person out and gave him a reward.

"Jean bought?" Wan Pingbo asked.

"Well, the store will deliver it to the house early tomorrow morning." Ran Ning replied.

Wan Pingbo nodded and said, "Don't go out these days, I'll let people inquire, it's okay if that gangster doesn't recognize you, if he does, it's more troublesome, you have to be careful, I will also ask the housekeeper to strengthen the defense of the inner courtyard." ”

"Yes." Ran Ning responded.

"Go back and ask the kitchen to make you a dose of pearl tea, suppress the shock." Wan Pingbo said. He rarely meets Ran Ning every day, but when his daughter encounters this kind of thing, he, as a father, always has to care about one or two.

"Father, there is something I haven't ......mentioned to Lord Xu" Ran Ning felt that it was better to inform her father about this matter, after all, she felt that what people were familiar with, her father would be familiar with it eight or nine times out of ten, but she couldn't clearly describe the style of the jade pendant, she only knew that it was white jade.

"What?" Wan Pingbo asked.

Ran Ning told Wan Pingbo about the jade pendant.

Wan Pingbo frowned after hearing this, thought for a moment, and said, "I know, if you think of something, come and tell me." After all, this is a homicide, you are a girl's family, except for Lord Xu asking you for questioning, it is better to avoid it. We don't want to be rich and rich, but we want to be safe, do you understand? ”

"My daughter understands." Ran Ning nodded. This set of arguments has been pursued by Wan Pingbo after inheriting the throne, and the old Wan Pingbo's dedication and brave retreat style is completely different, her father is not even willing to step into the torrent, just want to be an uncle who does not offend each other, so there is no courage to retreat. Fortunately, the hereditary line of this uncle is not demoted, and at least she can keep the title of an uncle, so that her father can be self-satisfied.

"Alright, let's go back and rest." Wan Pingbo said.

"Yes, my daughter is leaving." After speaking, Ran Ning retreated and left.

Today's incident was indeed a big shock to Ran Ning, and even Shen Lian's matter was forgotten by her, and she rested early after drinking the pearl tea sent from the kitchen.

At the back door of Bofu, Ran Mi walked into Bofu leisurely with one hand behind his back and a fan in the other.

"Brother!"

"Oops!" Ran Mi was startled, and after seeing Ran Mi walking out of the arch, she patted her chest and said, "You don't stay in the room at night, why do you come out and be scary?" ”

"Who scared you?" Ran Ji stomped her foot dissatisfiedly and asked, "Where have you been?" ”

"Girl's family, what do you care about so much?" Ran Mi obviously didn't want to talk to Ran Mi more. No one cared about him today, he finally came back after a good time, and as soon as he entered the door, he was startled, which made half of his good mood dissipate.

"Mother is still in the ancestral hall, are you in the mood to go out and play?" Ran Mi frowned, very dissatisfied with Ran Mi.

Ran Mi said disapprerovingly: "It's just temporary, my mother is the head of the house, and I will be released when Ran Xiao is married." ”

"That being said, but mother is suffering, how can you still be in the mood to go out and play?" Ran Ji said.

"If I annoy my father by staying in the house, won't my mother be even more annoyed?" Ran Mi also has her own reason, and after speaking, she bypassed Ran Mi and walked to her yard, "You hurry back to your room to rest, don't be nosy." ”

Ran Ji is everyone's best girl, and she was so angry that Ran Mi couldn't speak for a while, but she couldn't. The only people in this house who can control Ran Mi are her father and mother, and she doesn't dare to sue her father......

Two days later, someone from the yamen came, mainly to ask Ran Ning if he had thought of any new clues, and after Ran Ning shook his head, several officials seemed to be expected, and they were not much disappointed. Ran Ning took this opportunity to ask about the woman who was killed.

As Ran Ning expected, that woman had some identity, but it was not a young lady from any family, but a palace maid in the palace. It stands to reason that the palace maid is a slave, and the case of being killed out of the palace has to be investigated, but there is no need to be so mobilized. But this palace maid is different from ordinary palace maids, she is specially serving by the side of Lord Leqing of the Lile Division, Lord Leqing has stayed in the palace all his life, has no children and no daughters, I heard that I recognized this palace maid as my goddaughter, and I will send her to the end in the future, but I don't want the white-haired person to send the black-haired person.

What surprised Ran Ning even more was that this palace maid was actually pregnant when she was killed, but no one knew who the man was, and even Lord Le Qing was surprised when she heard about it. didn't know that his goddaughter had a lifelong agreement with someone.

An unmarried and pregnant palace maid was killed in an alley, no matter how you think about it, there are countless things to investigate. Although Le Qing is just a female official with a positive fifth grade, after all, she is a person in the palace, and there are some things that cannot be neglected. But these are none of Ran Ning's business, after all, the investigation has to be handled by the government.

"Third girl, you bumped into the palace maid who was killed, and now you haven't found the murderer, will that Lord Le Qing be dissatisfied with you?" Back in the room, Bizhu asked with some concern.

There are many people in the palace, although it will not work in the light, but if it is dark, it will be impossible to prevent it. The people, hearts, and battles in the palace, when Lao Wan Pingbo was there, Ran Ning had heard him talk about it, and he had some spectrum in his heart.

"I'll pay attention." Ran Ning said. This time, she can't take a maid with her when she enters the palace, so she needs to worry about a lot of things by herself.

On this day, after breakfast, the big girl next to Wan Pingbo came to inform Ran Ning to go to the side hall.

Ran Ning has been staying in the house for the past few days, and there is nothing unusual in the house, it is very peaceful, which also makes Wan Pingbo, who was originally afraid of someone coming to retaliate, breathe a sigh of relief.

When they came to the side hall, Wan Pingbo and Aunt Zhao were there, Ran Xiao and Ran Ji were also sitting in their positions, Ran Xiao's face was ruddy, as if she was a little shy, and Ran Xiao stared at Ran Ning with a pair of eyes, as if she wanted to see something before she gave up.

Ran Ning sat down in her place after greeting Wan Pingbo, and the maidservant quietly stepped aside after serving tea.

Wan Pingbo took a sip of tea and said, "I called you here today for Xiao'er's marriage, Mi'er is a man, so I didn't call him if it was inconvenient to come." The son of Lord Shen's family in the Ministry of Rites is interested in Xiao'er, Mrs. Shen also likes Xiao'er, and your Aunt Zhao also thinks that the Shen family is good, so this matter will be settled for the time being, and after discussing it with the Shen family, you can arrange the six ceremonies on a good day. ”

Ran Xiao lowered his head shyly and didn't say a word.

Ran Ji pressed the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "That's really congratulations to the big sister." I've also heard of the son of the Shen family, but it seems that the third sister is more familiar with Shen Gongzi? After speaking, Ran Ji looked at the people present, and finally set her eyes on Ran Ning.

Ran Ji's words made both Zhao and Ran Xiao's faces change, but Wan Pingbo didn't know anything.

Ran Ning took a look at it, and knew Ran Ji's intentions, and also understood that as she had guessed before, I am afraid that many people in this family would know about her and Shen Lian. However, she and Shen Lian did not cross the line, so Ran Ning had nothing to be short of-breath.

"Does Ning'er recognize the son of the Shen family?" Wan Pingbo asked. There is also a little more speculation in my heart, and in the past few years, even if I have been neutral, I have learned some ways to watch the door.

Ran Ningxuan smiled and said, "Yes, father." ”

"The son of the Shen family is a good one, and he is also famous in the capital, so it's normal for the three girls to see it a few times." Zhao hurriedly said. She didn't want a good son like Shen Lian to be robbed by Ran Ning, although Shen Lian was indeed asking to marry Ran Xiao, but she, as a mother, couldn't allow a little mistake. If Ran Ning is interested in Shen Lian, she really can't tell what Wan Pingbo will do, maybe for the sake of family harmony, she will push away the marriage of the Shen family, so wouldn't she and her mother's family make plans in vain?

"Aunt Zhao is really exaggerating, right?" Ran Ji smiled disapprenosingly: "The most important thing in the capital is talented and beautiful, although I am raised in the deep boudoir, but I have heard of some talents, but I have not heard of this Shen Gongzi among them." ”

Wan Pingbo glanced at Zhao, then turned his gaze back to Ran Ning, "Ning'er? ”

"Father." Ran Ning smiled and said, "Although Shen Gongzi is not a great talent, he often goes in and out of the Qin Tea Pavilion. I didn't have much to do with him, but I went to copy a solitary copy for my grandfather, and he happened to be copying it, so we got to know each other after a while. The place of the Qin Tea Pavilion is not particularly large, and if you go over there and look down and don't look up, you can just say a few words after a long time. ”

Ran Ning can't wait to get rid of Shen Lian now, the kind of man who only thinks about his own future, Ran Xiao likes it, even if he takes it.

Hearing her words, Ran Xiao and Aunt Zhao both breathed a sigh of relief. Aunt Zhao also knew that Ran Xiao and Shen Lian did not have any emotional foundation, but in her opinion, they would fall in love over time, and it was only a matter of time before the two of them were in love, and it was only a matter of time before they raised their eyebrows.

Even if Ran Ji was dissatisfied and suspicious, she didn't ask any more. Some things are too much to say and wrong, and if you don't get it right, you will be seen that she is deliberately sowing discord.

Wan Pingbo didn't see any flaws in Ran Ning's face, so he believed Ran Ning's words, "Since that's the case, it's nothing." Xiao'er's matter has been decided for the time being, and when Yu Shu comes out another day, she will invite Mrs. Shen to come over and discuss the marriage in detail. ”

"Yes." Zhao replied respectfully. Although Zhao was not satisfied with Yu's return to handle Ran Xiao's marriage, she also understood that when the housewife was not there, it was unreasonable for her to do some things, and it was not good to say it. And she has already achieved the goal of letting Ran Xiao marry into the Shen family, and the others can temporarily make concessions.

Walking out of the side hall, Ran Xiao glanced at Ran Ning and didn't say much. She was quite tempted when she first saw Shen Lian, after all, Shen Lian has a good temperament, speaks decently, and looks like a well-educated son, a woman like her who rarely goes out, she naturally likes to see such a son, after all, no one wants her husband to be a rough person. She had heard about Ran Ning and Shen Lian for a long time, but because Shen Lian came to ask for a marriage, and Mrs. Shen was also very satisfied with her, she felt that Ran Ning was not a threat. As long as she and Shen Lian are husband and wife, they will definitely be happy in the future.

Ran Ning said generously to Ran Xiao: "Congratulations to the big sister." But I'm going to enter the palace in a few days, and I can't handle my sister's marriage, so I hope my sister won't be weird. ”

Ran Ning's attitude was calm, and Ran Xiao also felt that he couldn't show that he couldn't be too careful, so he said: "It's okay, my sister's entry into the palace is a big deal, but you have to clean up properly, don't leave important things behind." ”

"Sister Xie reminds." Ran Ning didn't say anything more, nodded to Aunt Zhao, and left with Bizhu first.

Ran Xiao married a wife in the past, and there was the support of the Zhao family behind her, Ran Ning felt that maybe Ran Xiao should not appreciate Shen Lian's selfishness and contempt for women in this regard, which may be Ran Xiao's luck. If Ran Xiao is doing well, she will be happy for Ran Xiao, but if it is not good, she will not feel sorry for it, because the person was chosen by Ran Xiao himself, or by the Zhao family, the original premise is not simple, since he has entered this game, he must do a good job of a chess in the game, as for the fate of this chess, Ran Xiao has to grasp it himself.
