Mother Chen looked at Xia Ruan triumphantly, feeling that the evil spirit in her heart had finally come out.

On the day she returned to Li's house, I don't know how many people secretly talked about it as a joke.

It's all Xia Ruan's fault.

At this time, Xia Ruan looked at Chen's mother's appearance, but couldn't help but smile.

"This blessing is estimated to be what Chen's mother likes." Xia Ruan said calmly, "Du Ruo is a member of my Xia family, and Mother Chen will take people away as soon as the old lady wants Du Ruo to be by her side?" How do I know that this is what the old lady meant? ”

Mother Chen replied without thinking about it: "The old slave is now the person who follows the old lady and serves closely, and he ......"

"That's enough." Xia Ruan directly interrupted Chen's mother's words and reprimanded, "If Chen's mother wants to play prestige in front of me, then she really found the wrong place, you go back and tell the old lady that I will not go to serve the sick, even if I want to go, I should go to my grandfather's side." As for Du Ruo, then needless to mention, she is a member of my Xia family. ”

Mother Chen was directly rejected by Xia Ruan when she thought of it, and she looked at Xia Ruan with some shock.

Is this girl really stupid? I'm not afraid of offending the old lady.

Mother Chen looked displeased and sneered: "I will go back to the old lady immediately, this Miss Lai's family affairs...... Take care of the young lady. ”

After saying that, Mother Chen turned around and left, not polite at all, and the angry Du Ruo stomped her feet on the side.

"Miss, how can you let her go." Du Ruo was also angry at this time, Mother Chen's mother worshiped the high and stepped on the low, "This person is simply ...... It's simply not a thing. ”

Xia Ruan's face was calm, and he glanced at Du Ruo and said, "Is this person worthy of your anger?" To deal with her. But it's just a small thing. Give her the one in the house, with a tricky little girl, she is annoyed. And when the old lady dies of illness, what is she? It's just that I'm too lazy to touch her, it will dirty my hands, and she's not by my side, so why bother me. ”

Du Ruo was speechless by Xia Ruan's words.

But soon she heard the words from Xia Ruan's mouth: "The old lady died of illness? ”

Xia Ruan just smiled and didn't answer Du Ruo's words.

There are some things that she just needs to remind a little about, lest Du Ruo always have no eyesight in the future.

This time, the third uncle will cover up what his grandfather can actually save, and it is somewhat because of this incident. Naturally, the third uncle never mentioned it. She will also pretend not to know. It's just that the He family's good days are coming to an end, who let the He family do such a stupid thing.

In the Li family's house, although everyone knows that his grandfather liked the pear tree after his grandmother died, so he moved to Pear Flower Garden.

From Du Ruo's mouth, Xia Ruan knew that the poison in his grandfather's body could not be accumulated in a day or two. It's a long-lasting poison. Once the poison hair, Ran can't detect it. It's just that there are no pear blossoms in the summer. And my grandfather is not a person who likes spices, so the appearance of this sandalwood is naturally problematic.

Even if it wasn't done by the He family, then who is behind the He family?

Why did he teach He to put drugs in sandalwood. This is ostensibly helping the He family, but in fact it is framing the He family. Even if her grandfather was poisoned by then, it was not only He who was unlucky, but also her mother.

Xia Ruan has been thinking about this matter these days, and she can't figure out who this person is at all.

"What are you going to eat today?" After waiting for a while, Du Ruo spoke, "The mother-in-law sent by Aunt Zheng has arrived, and the small money in the kitchen yesterday said that there have been a lot of merchants from the Western Regions in Kyoto recently, and the food is good, do you want to change the taste." ”

Xia Ruan's hand holding the teacup was weak, and he almost threw the teacup in his hand to the ground.

She stared at Du Ruo with wide eyes: "What did you say?" Merchants of the Western Regions? ”

"Miss, don't you know what to do?" Du Ruo looked at Xia Ruan's reaction and was a little surprised, "These days, a lot of merchants have come from the Western Regions and brought a lot of things into Kyoto, and these small things are extremely difficult to buy. And Xiao Qian said that the things they brought tasted good. ”

Xia Ruan's heart jumped suddenly.

She almost forgot.

Every year when summer was about to turn into autumn, Cinnabar would take the group of merchants from Nixi Kingdom to Daqin to do business, and she had thought that those merchants were all bearded and dark-skinned. But when she saw cinnabar, she was still a little stunned.

Cinnabar's face didn't look like a person from the Western Regions at all.

He has a handsome face, and his wheat-colored skin makes him even more jade-wood, and his appearance looks attractive. But in fact, Cinnabar is ruthless, and he does things in a high-profile manner without leaving any room for outsiders.

Looks are really a thing that can deceive people.

The more harmless it looks on the surface, the more terrible it is when it harms people. is such a person, Xia Ruan has not figured out the purpose of cinnabar until now.

It stands to reason that Cinnabar has made enough money over the years, and he doesn't need to do anything about coming to Daqin's side at all, and he has to go from Nixi to Daqin, and he has to pass through a barren desert. Over the years, there have been many people who have lost their lives in the desert, so Cinnabar doesn't have to risk his life to come to Daqin at all, but Xia Ruan Zhilu said that Cinnabar has come to Daqin Kyoto every year over the years, and what he does is not like doing business. So what is his purpose?

When she thought of this, she felt that she really knew too little about the Tao before.

"Miss, you're fine, are you?" Seeing that Xia Ruan didn't speak, Du Ruo couldn't help but ask with concern, "Is there something uncomfortable?" ”

Xia Ruan gathered his mind and shook his head.

She is now a woman who has not yet left the cabinet, and it is inconvenient to go out to inquire about many things. Steward Wang is gradually getting old, and many things are also inadequate, and Liu Changyuan can only help in business, these bloody things are not suitable for Liu Changyuan to do at all. There is a lack of such a person around her who can help her do things outside, and she thought about it and felt that this candidate might be able to ask Liuzi.

"Have there been a lot of people from the Western Regions in Kyoto lately?" Xia Ruan looked at Du Ruo and asked, "Is there anything strange happening?" ”

Du Ruo stopped what he was doing, looked at Xia Ruan and thought for a while.

She paused before replying, "Nothing strange. It's just that a few days ago, a lot of beauties were sent from the Western Regions, and it is said that they were given to the palace. At that time, Ai Ye and Bai Zhi were still talking that a few of them were quite good-looking. ”

But there is nothing out of the ordinary.

Every year, the Western Regions will send beauties and treasures to Great Qin, which is a very normal thing. Cinnabar also participated in this matter, and the imperial merchants who were very close to Cinnabar helped with this, and it is said that the treasures sent by Cinnabar at that time were very popular with Emperor Jianguang. Cinnabar really has some skills and can buy a lot of people's hearts.

"Anything else?" As long as Xia Ruan thinks of cinnabar, he will always feel a little uneasy in his heart, "For example, who is here......

This time, Du Ruo looked at Xia Ruan in some surprise.

Xia Ruan never liked to inquire about these things. So Du Ruobian didn't pay much attention.

Du Ruo thought for a long time before replying, "No." Just a little money in the kitchen said. Among the beauties sent this time, there is a very beautiful one, and the length is very strange. ”

Du Ruo's casual words made Xia Ruan a little curious: "What's strange?" ”

Du Ruo remembered the conversation between Bai Zhi and Ai Ye that day. After pondering for a while, he said, "It is said that peony flowers can grow on the right face." It's amazing. ”

Xia Ruan raised her eyebrows and glanced at Du Ruo. Where is this peony flower growing on the face, it must be a tattoo.

Some people in the Western Regions always have something tattooed on their body, but they tattoo a peony flower on their face. It's the first time she's heard of it, isn't this the same as disfigurement? can look at Du Ruo's appearance, but it doesn't look like this. It seems that the peony flower is tattooed on the right side of the face, and it looks very good.

"Well, I got it." Xia Ruan said a word and stopped talking.

According to Du Ruo's statement, there is nothing unusual outside now, has the cinnabar been a little settled over the years?

But Cinnabar's temperament has never been a peaceful person, and what Cinnabar did in his previous life was more shocking than the other. The people around him were a little puzzled by why Cinnabar did these things.

It stands to reason that he is a merchant in the Western Regions, and he only needs to do business well, but no one expected that Cinnabar would collude with the Six Princes in secret. Over the years, Cinnabar and Dong Xiao have also been very close, and he has a lot of interpersonal relationships in his hands, and he has to let Dong Xiao's people listen to his orders.

Money is not everything, but in Cinnabar's hands, it seems that all this silver has become a terrible network of interpersonal relationships, so that those who come in can no longer escape.

It's just the sixth prince, and it is impossible for him to ascend the throne.

The place where Xia Ruan admires cinnabar the most is here.

After the four princes ascended the throne, they began to punish the six princes, but they did not affect cinnabar at all.

Cinnabar withdrew from the side of the six princes quickly, and seemed to have made some agreements with the four princes, and he was still at ease in his life.

Xiao Shaocheng never talked about this to Xia Ruan, but every time Xiao Shaocheng mentioned cinnabar, he would always say that he was a good opponent.

In this sentence, Xiao Shaocheng only said two people.

One is Xiao Anli, who was divided by five horses.

One is cinnabar.

But Xiao Anli's result is ......

Thinking of this, Xia Ruan shuddered.

At this time, Ai Ye walked in from outside, her expression was a little unnatural, and she seemed to be a little aggrieved.

Xia Ruan looked at Ai Ye's expression and couldn't help but ask, "What are you unhappy about seeing again?" “

Xia Ruan's requirements for his subordinates are really not high, so he doesn't treat them too harshly in many cases. Ai Ye and Bai Zhi have not been by her side for a long time, but the two little maids are very obedient and well-behaved, and rarely do things that make her unhappy. So Xia Ruan is also more tolerant of them.

Ai Ye glanced at Xia Ruan: "Miss, the slave is fine. ”

After she said this, her eyes immediately turned red.

In front of the appearance of a child, she is not skilled in trying to hide her thoughts, how can she seem to have nothing to do with it. (To be continued......)
