After Dew Drop returned to the house with Jiang Ruan, she still stood aside and did not move, for a long time, Jiang Ruan raised her head, Dew Drop suddenly turned red, and said in a low voice: "The slave is wrong, please punish the young lady." ”

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ruan looked at her and asked. Forsythia moved her lips, but finally didn't say anything. Luzhu said: "Slaves and maids should not quarrel with people at the gate of the palace, and let the palace become a joke in other people's mouths." ”

Jiang Ruan shook his head: "You are wrong, but it is not here." You made the mistake of being too polite to that woman at the beginning, I thought you had been with me for so long, and you could always see people's hearts clearly, I didn't want you to be too upright, but I couldn't complain about you. Jiang Ruan lowered his eyes: "Since that person dares to make trouble at the gate of the palace, he has no fear when he thinks about it, and he probably has a trick." Don't go out for a few days, just leave this matter to me. ”

After hearing these words, Lu Zhu wanted to cry, and the grievances of the past few days were hidden in her heart, but Jiang Ruan's words seemed to make her find a backbone in an instant. Jiang Ruan was originally a person who protected her shortcomings, and she couldn't tolerate anyone saying that Jiang Xinyi was bad, but now she is also protected by her, as if Jiang Ruan is there, and the original sadness is not so sad. She paused, and then hesitated a little before saying, "This matter ......." Will it make the young lady and the brocade guards have a conflict? ”

No matter how Jin Er is, he is not a person in Jin Yiwei after all, just like Forsythia stands on her side unconditionally, Jiang Ruan gave Jin Er's face in front of everyone, which will inevitably make Jin Yiwei not think much about it, and may even cause a misunderstanding between Xiao Shao and Jiang Ruan.

"Don't worry," Jiang Ruan smiled slightly: "There is no reason for subordinates to have prejudices against their masters, if it weren't for Jin Er's face today, I would have let them be beaten out." ”

The dew stopped talking.

Outside the house, Jin Er helped Liao Meng into the carriage on the side, Zhou's mother was in the carriage, Liao Meng didn't allow her to come down, Zhou's mother didn't know what was going on outside, she was stunned when she saw Jin Er, and then she was even more startled when she saw the slap on Liao Meng's face, and said in a hurry: "Ouch my girl, what's wrong with you?" Who was this beaten? Oh my God, this piece is so swollen, girl, why don't you let the old slave follow. ”

Jin Er was a little ashamed, and only said: "It's all my fault, it's me who didn't take good care of Miss Liao." ”

"It's none of your business." Liao Meng interrupted him anxiously and said to Zhou's mother: "Zhou's mother, I'm fine, it's just a little misunderstanding." The second young master should go and get busy with his own affairs first, the affairs in the palace are complicated, and it is not a way for you to accompany me all the time, it is still early at the moment, I think you also have something important to do, I will go back with Mother Zhou. ”

Jin Er thought for a while and said, "You are a weak woman, what if something happens on the road, it is already an adventure to come to the palace today, let me send you." ”

"It's really not necessary," Liao Meng said with a smile: "Besides, Miss Dewdrop has misunderstood, you sent me like this, but it makes the knot between the two of them deeper and deeper, it doesn't matter, the coachman knows the way, me and Zhou's mother, there will be no mistakes in broad daylight." It's the second young master himself, who makes the princess unhappy, will it affect your affairs in front of the prince. When I think about it, I really think it's all my fault today, and I'm always causing you trouble. ”

The words were tactful and gentle, but it made people even more confused about how to deal with it, Jinji's face changed, and said, "I said that this matter has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to worry about it all the time." In that case, I will leave and come back to see you at the house later. You and Zhou's mother are careful all the way. ”

Liao Meng nodded yes, smiled and lowered the curtain of the carriage, and the crowd of onlookers had dispersed. Jinji also turned on his horse and galloped away in the opposite direction. In the carriage, Zhou's mother stroked Liao Meng's face distressedly: "Girl, that maid is too ruthless, this red mark will take about a few days to disappear, but she is really a ruthless master, how can the second young master want such a woman." ”

As soon as his hand touched the skin, he felt a hot pain, and the dew drops did use a lot of strength to get under his hand, and half of Liao Meng's face was swollen, and he could hardly see his original appearance. Liao Meng gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't expect her to be such a ruthless person. "What she originally planned today was to target Dewdrop, and she did this weak posture, and her compassion was also beaten, and a person with a shallow brain like Dew Drop could only suffer at all. But I didn't expect this girl to look honest, but she was a pungent in her bones, and these three slaps almost stunned her, so she never thought that she would suffer such a loss today.

However, what made Liao Meng feel even more palpitations was the woman in red who walked out of the gate of the palace, Jiang Ruan, the current young lady of Jinying Palace. She had already inquired about Jiang Ruan before she came, and knew that this woman was a shrewd and powerful person, and she didn't want to see it with her own eyes today, but when she was looked at by those eyes, she felt that the rumors said that her power was not as good as one ten-thousandth of what she had seen in person. Those eyes were smiling on the surface, but the sharpness in them was shocking, as if they were looked at by those eyes, and there was nothing to hide from what they thought in their hearts. And Jiang Ruan's protection of the dew drops is almost naked.

Mother Zhou was still chattering distressedly, and asked: "Girl, why don't we go to the pharmacy to grab some medicine now, the wound on this face will always dissipate earlier, and that girl's heart is too dark, how can anyone pick someone on the face." ”

"No need Mother Zhou," Liao Meng came back to his senses and said, "I'm a little unwell, let's go back to the house and lie down for a while." "There is no such cheap reason in the world, since Dew Drop has slapped her three times, these three slaps will be retrieved from Dew Drop sooner or later. What about Jiang Ruan's short-term protection, what she wants is her short-term protection, if she doesn't protect her short-term, it would be strange, the more short-guarded, the more interesting it will be in the future. Liao Meng slowly stroked his red and swollen cheeks, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an imperceptible smile.

……

Jiang Ruan gave Jiner's face in front of countless people watching the excitement at the gate of Jinying Palace, and this matter spread throughout the entire Jinying Palace, or it spread all over the mouths of everyone in the capital. Since Jiang Ruan entered the palace and became the princess, he rarely took the princess's shelf, although his temperament was not lively, he was always gentle to his subordinates, and he was not held accountable for his occasional mistakes, he was a generous master, and everyone liked it very much, this was the first time that he had expressed displeasure with Jinyiwei so clearly, and even took out the princess's shelf to press the other party. If it's because of its own affairs, it's just because of housework, the palms and backs of the hands are meat, although everyone thinks that Jin Er is indeed doing something inappropriate, but Jin Yiwei never cares about housework and emotional matters, this matter is definitely not reasonable, and Jin Er is also a partner who grew up together, so it is impossible to break off the relationship, and for a while, the house has become a clear situation, Jiang Ruan and Jin Yiwei do not care about each other, Ye Feng has found Forsythia a few times, but Forsythia is now looking at Jin Yiwei horizontally and vertically, so I didn't have a good face when I saw him.

Not only is the relationship between the subordinates delicate, but even the relationship between Xiao Shao and Jiang Ruan has become a little delicate. Originally, Xiao Shao was very busy today, and the two didn't have much time to meet, and such a bad thing happened in the house. Jin Er is also Xiao Shao's subordinate, Xiao Shao didn't punish Jin Er for his own housework, but Jiang Ruan is a person who can't tolerate sand in her eyes, and it is impossible for her to quarrel with Xiao Shao with her temperament, so she has a somewhat cold attitude invisibly, Xiao Shao doesn't seem to be aware of it, women always have to be sensitive, and unconsciously, some estrangement and alienation are born.

On this day, Dew Drop was teaching a few new maids to sweep in the yard to pay attention to some things, when suddenly I heard the sound of the little maids screaming, and before I could understand it, I saw a black shadow striding over, and when I came to the front, I felt a pain in my wrist, and it was already painful to be grabbed by someone. She looked up, and what caught her eye was a familiar face, it was Jinji.

But now this Jinji's face is not like the cynical evil smile that always hung in the past days, nor is it silent and speechless like a few days ago, and the expression on this face at this moment is actually a little angry and a little disappointed. Before Dew Drop could speak, Jinji took the lead in saying, "Why are you doing this?" ”

This question was clueless, but the dew was a little dazed for a while, but Jin'er put on this appearance of asking the guilt, which made her angry, and she immediately yelled back not to be outdone: "What to do?" What do you learn in the daytime that a mad dog bites! ”

Jin Er grabbed her hand and didn't lose it, gritted his teeth and said: "This matter started because of me, I can't stand you, but how can you be so femme fatale and let people do that kind of thing to Liao Meng?" ”

"You let go of me!" Dewdrop's hand hurt when he grabbed it, and in a fit of anger, he also bit Jinji's wrist, Jinji let go of his hand in pain, and Dew took the opportunity to break free, and a circle of red and swollen marks appeared on her slender wrist. Dew Drop said angrily: "What kind of thing? I'm telling you, there are two ways to pour dirty water on someone else, and you don't want to use it on me again! After the dew was beaten by Jiang Ruan, no matter what feeling in his heart when he saw Jin Er again, at least his face was already calm, he scolded and beat when he should be beaten, and he would never miss a trace of affection in the past. Jin Er was slightly stunned by the appearance of a stranger like this, and then he frowned, glanced at the maids gathered around and looked at this side, regardless of Dewdrop's objection, he took Dewdrop's hand and walked to the side of the rockery in the garden of the house, he tried his best to lower his voice, but he still couldn't help but reveal a trace of suppressed anger: "Are you looking for someone to harm her?" ”

Lu Zhu was very sour in his heart when he saw him acting like this just for Liao Meng, and when he heard him say this, he didn't laugh angrily, and said: "Jin Er, you touch your conscience and ask, you and I don't know each other overnight, what kind of person I am, don't you know what kind of person I am?" Stumbling in the gutter has never been something I have done with dewdrops, but ...... your fiancée. She sneered: "The thief shouts to catch the thief!" ”

Jinji grabbed her hand and tightened it again, Dew Zhu frowned, looked at him, and suddenly found that Jinji's eyes were a little red, she endured it, and finally asked bluntly, "What happened to her?" ”

"Last night, someone broke into her yard and tried to forcibly occupy her body, although someone rescued her later and failed, her innocence was ruined." Jinji said in a low voice, as if every word was squeezed out of his teeth.

Dew Drop was a little stunned at first when she heard this, and then a nameless fire rose from her heart, and said with a smile: "Could it be that you think I did this?" ”

"It's really not you?" Jinji asked hoarsely.

Dew Drop looked up at him suddenly, her eyes were as fierce as a lion, she looked into Jinji's eyes, and said word by word, "It's not me." ”

Jinji let go of her hand, as if she was a little tired, Dew turned around and left, after taking two steps, she turned her head and turned back, and saw that Jinji was still standing at the rockery and did not move, she walked over and stood still in front of Jinji, and asked, "How do you think I did it?" ”

"The masked man caught," Jinji sighed, but his expression did not appear relaxed, but rather very complicated, and he continued: "The person who confessed to giving him the silver came out of the palace of King Jinying. ”

……。

The fact that Liao Meng was almost dirty, and the innocence of Liao Meng spread throughout the capital the next day, and now Jiner, Liao Meng and Dewdrop have become a topic of conversation in the whole capital. This matter has caused some turmoil every once in a while, but it has caused the people in the capital to have endless conversations every day. Although those masked people did not succeed in the last day, such a thing was still rumored all over the city, and Liao Meng's reputation was over in this life. However, for her, people's sympathy is more, but more is secretly speculating about who is behind it, and some people feel that this matter is inseparable from the maid in the palace, no matter how the outside world speculates, it is Liao Meng who suffers in the end.

However, Liao Meng had a better result than other daughters' families who encountered this kind of thing, that is, Jinji was still a man with affection, and he did not dislike him or settle the marriage contract because of this matter. In this way, in the eyes of the people in the capital, these two people are a match made in heaven, after all, not everyone can go through the wind and rain.

In the courtyard, Zhou's mother took the medicine bowl and fed Liao Meng to drink, the medicine was also bitter, but Liao Meng drank it without frowning. Zhou's mother has been looking very haggard recently, Liao Meng has this incident, she is the one who blames herself the most, she only blames herself for not protecting Liao Meng, teaching outsiders to take advantage of loopholes, and she has to go to the yamen every day to urge her to catch the person behind the scenes. Zhou's mother fed Liao Meng to drink medicine before going out, after Zhou's mother left, Liao Meng got out of bed, these days she was frightened and sick in bed, always with a little panic, but if someone sees her appearance at this moment, they will be surprised, Liao Meng's expression is calm, and even with a little smile on her face, she walked to the dresser and sat down, took out a small box from the side, there was a small folded letter in the box, she slowly opened the letter paper to read it quickly, and then it was torn and crushed, Thrown into the basket that he used to practice calligraphy to throw away waste paper. Then he slowly sat back on the bed and looked out the window.

Things have come to such a point, but it is smoother than imagined, the most important thing in this world is to protect the short-sightedness, to set up a situation according to a person's temperament, is nothing more than to grasp the most vulnerable place in the human heart. As long as it is a human being, there will be weaknesses in people's hearts, and the more cold people are on the outside, the more sand is not tolerated in their hearts, and the higher the requirements for feelings.

Of course, in this way, for her, it is just that people do not destroy the heavens and the earth for themselves, but for their own interests.

……。

Liao Meng's guess is right, Jiner's matter has an impact not only on the dewdrops. At this moment, Jiang Ruan looked at Xiao Shao and said angrily: "You doubt me? ”

Xiao Shao was silent for a moment and did not speak.

Jin Er impulsively came to Xingshi that day to ask for guilt, so that Jiang Ruan's anger in his heart finally couldn't be suppressed, it was just to make the dew sad, but now this dirty water was splashed on her body, Jiang Ruan was very disdainful of that Miss Liao family, and he was really angry when he heard the words, and he was going to expel Jin Er from Jinyiwei at that time.

But it was Xiao Shao who stopped him, Jin Er has followed Xiao Shao for many years, and for Xiao Shao, it is like the status of Bai Zhi Dew Drop to Jiang Ruan, there is an unwritten rule in Jinyiwei, and the housework of his subordinates has nothing to do with the official affairs in Jinyiwei. Xiao Shao would not have expelled any Jinyiwei from Jinyiwei for his own private affairs in the past, although what Jiner did was not considered, but it had nothing to do with serious business, and the rules in Jinyiwei were strict and could not be changed. Xiao Shao wanted to serve the public, and he couldn't dispose of Jin Er hastily.

Only one of the several masked people who attacked Liao Meng that day was caught, and the person said that someone gave them silver to do this business, and the person behind it didn't know who Lu Dao was, but it seemed to be a person from King Jinying's mansion. Originally, Jin Er thought it was Dewdrop, but Dew Drop couldn't take out so much silver from a maid, and Dewdrop's temperament was not such a strong person, so naturally, the spearhead of suspicion fell on Jiang Ruan's head.

Jiang Ruan's methods are ruthless, and he never shows mercy, especially for those who are unhappy with him, he must pay back a hundred times. That Liao Meng bullied Dewdrop, with Jiang Ruan's temperament, how could he not ask for it. This trouble for someone to find Liao Meng, with Jiang Ruan's temperament and money, seems to be her handiwork.

Jiang Ruan wanted to expel Jin Er, but Xiao Shao refused, and even said that Jiang Ruan should not interfere in this matter, Jiang Ruan was angry, so he didn't choose to say: "You doubt me? ”

"I didn't mean that." Xiao Shao said: "It's just that this matter is his family matter, and there is no reason to meddle." ”

"Your subordinates are people, but my maids are not people?" Jiang Ruan said incredulously: "Xiao Shao, I also told you, this matter was not done by me, and it has nothing to do with me!" I don't admit this sin, you have to protect your shortcomings, I also have to protect my shortcomings, since each has its own thoughts, there is no need to say anything! She slammed the book down on the table, turned and walked out of the room.

This is the first time that the husband and wife have quarreled since they got married, and they are still for such things that have nothing to do with them. But Xiao Shao has a cold temperament, Jiang Ruan has a strong sense of self-esteem, and the cold war for a while is even more terrible than that of Dew Drop and Jin Er, and everyone in the mansion is in danger, almost covered by dark clouds.

Xiao Shao is obedient to Jiang Ruan on weekdays, and treats Jinyiwei harshly, but unfortunately he is also a person who protects his shortcomings, Jiang Ruan is also a person who protects his shortcomings, compared to Xiao Shaolai, Jiang Ruan's temperament is more paranoid, Xu is experience in her previous life makes her unable to tolerate the people around her to be wronged, once Xiao Shao shows a little bit of attitude to protect Jin Er, she can't help but think more sensitively, and her attitude is much more extreme. Xiao Shao is also getting busier and busier, the misunderstanding cannot be explained, and the invisible separation between the two is getting deeper and deeper.

Lu Zhu was very worried about Jiang Ruan, looked at Jiang Ruan's back sitting in the study, and whispered to Forsythia: "The young lady seems to be fine these days, I am always worried that she will hold everything in her heart, the prince has not returned to the house in the past few days, how good is this." ”

Forsythia shook her head and said, "The young lady is stubborn, and the prince is not a person who can speak sweetly, so it is naturally not good." Not to mention them, how can you be better? I don't think that Jinji is a good match, and you are probably sad in your heart. "Now that Jiang Ruan has become the object of suspicion, as far as Jin Er is concerned, Zi does not kill Boren, but Boren dies because of the factor, and Dew Drop is also the root cause of Liao Meng's accident, Jin Er and Dew Drop are real strangers now. And Jiang Ruan and Xiao Shao are like this, and Dew Drop is naturally sad in her heart.

Dew Drop lowered her head: "This was caused by me, and it was originally just my own business, and it was none of me who made my uncle and young lady unhappy." But Forsythia, in my heart, I feel that all this is the ghost of Liao Meng, to say that you may think I am vicious, then Liao Meng will encounter this, it may not be karma. I think she is the source of my uncle's and young lady's anger, and she is a wicked person. ”

Forsythia nodded Dewdrop's head: "You girl don't worry about her own affairs, don't worry, the young lady is so smart, and she is used to manipulating people's hearts, she will definitely not fall for other people's ways." Let's just do our own thing. ”

Dew Zhu sighed: "It's because the young lady can grasp people's hearts and speculate about her uncle with the eyes of those people on weekdays, it will be bad." The young lady can guess everyone's hearts, but she can't figure out her own hearts. ”

As the two were talking, they heard a little girl outside come to say, "Young lady, Young Master Qi is here." ”

Xiao Shao was not in the mansion at this moment, Jiang Ruan walked out of the house, and when he arrived at the courtyard, he saw Qi Feng coming from outside, and he didn't know what he was busy with these days, even if it was very close, he had never visited him. Jiang Ruan smiled and said, "Why are you here?" It's a rare guest. ”

"A few days ago, a friend came to the capital, and he went to receive him for a while, but he didn't care about it, don't be angry, the third sister-in-law shouldn't be angry," Qi Feng smiled: "I also know that I am wrong, no, I specially sent something to make amends." As he spoke, he raised what he was holding, and it was a boxy box, and he didn't know what it contained. Jiang Ruan smiled: "How can there be a door-to-door gift, I'm not a tavern with cashiers." ”
