Chapter 160: The Scapegoat (Part 1)

Shen Ruohua was not wrong, although Xue Maoye didn't mention it, he still sent someone to quietly investigate the matter of Changle Fang, wanting to find out who opened the gambling house, and see if he could coerce the owner to spit out the 30,000 taels of silver. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info just taught him that he was disappointed that Changle Fang had already closed its doors, and I heard other shops in the West Market say that the gambling house had not opened for a few days, and then inquired further, he actually found that the gambling house and the former King Hui seemed to have some inexplicable relationship, this is a great thing, if he was accidentally implicated in the matter of King Hui, even ten Guangping Marquis Mansion also had no way to live, so scared that he didn't dare to ask anymore, so he had to do it.

The post of the Xinguo Mansion has also been sent, not only to Mrs. Xue, but also to send a post to Shen Ruohua, and the mother-in-law who sent the post politely and respectfully asked Shen Ruohua to say goodbye, and then said: "Madame specially instructed the maid to be sure to invite the third lady over, and also asked the third lady to appreciate her face." ”

Shen Ruohua frowned slightly at the post, she was not interested in going to the Xinguo Mansion to enjoy the plum blossoms, not to mention that this plum appreciation banquet was set up by the Duchess of Xinguo in order to let the princess of Dongping look at Yao Erniang for Zhou Qiyou, she really didn't want to go, she didn't want to meet Zhou Qiyou again.

Seeing Shen Ruohua's hesitant face, the mother-in-law hurriedly said with a smile: "Princess Fu is also going, and it is even more lively if the third lady is here." ”

Shen Ruohua heard that Princess Fu was also going, so she nodded slightly: "Since this is the case, I can't sweep away the prosperity of the Duchess of Xinguo, and it will pass when the time comes." She thought for a moment and asked, "It's just that who else was invited from the Hou Mansion?" ”

When the mother-in-law heard her agree, she smiled heartily: "I have already sent a post to the old lady of your house, and there is no one else." ”

There is no Chen! Shen Ruohua raised his eyebrows, this is a little strange, before the Yuan Ri entered the palace to meet him, it was Concubine Xie Guifei who sent a message not to let the Chen family enter the palace, this time the Xinguo Mansion sent a post without the Chen family, but invited the old lady Xue who had been locked up in the Liqing Courtyard for a long time, it seems that there is something in this, maybe the matter of soup soup has been passed into the palace, and if there are any words in the palace, the Chen family is afraid that he has become the person who is guilty.

It is said that in the past few days, the housekeepers in the Hou Mansion have not gone to Qionghua Courtyard to reply, they have all gone to the courtyard of the Hou Ye Xue Maoye or to the Zizhu Courtyard to reply, just because Xue Maoye sent a message, let the Chen family stay in Qionghua Courtyard to take good care of Sister Ping, and do not have to worry about the affairs of the Hou Mansion, which means that the Chen family has taken away the right to be the housekeeper. Shen Ruohua couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he thought of this, the ability of the Guangping Marquis Mansion to move when he heard the wind was really good.

The fourth day of the first month is the day when the Xinguo Mansion banquets the clan and the magnates go to the mansion to enjoy the plums, in front of the Guangping Marquis Mansion, two carriages have already been prepared, Mrs. Xue helped Chang Mama's hand out of the house, wearing a stone blue and silver rat gown, wearing a woven gold bamboo chrysanthemum on her head, she looked rich and kind, she looked very different from the haggard two days ago, and the eyebrows also restored the appearance of Maitreya Bodhisattva.

She glanced at Shen Ruohua's carriage, which had fallen the curtain, frowned, and said to Mama Chang: "Since you're here, let's go." Unusually, he didn't reveal his usual dislike for Shen Ruohua, so he went to the Xinguo Mansion all the way without incident.

The Xinguo Mansion is very close to the British Mansion, both in Renshoufang, and it is also the face and plaque of the tall pillar, but the Xinguo Mansion is even more wealthy, and even a pair of stone lions in front of the door are made of marble, looking rich and magnificent. Just because although the Duke of Xinguo is not as powerful as the British Gong, he is proficient in business, and through the relationship with the palace and the magnates, he operates a lot of trading and makes a living, and even a lot of procurement in the palace is solicited by him, so although it is not expensive, it is indeed rich. In order to feast the guests, the Xinguo Mansion was even more colorful on this day, and the servants came out like clouds to greet many guests.

Seeing that the carriage of the Marquis of Guangping was coming, the girls greeted them attentively and invited Mrs. Xue to get out of the car: "The old lady is well." ”

Old Madam Xue saw that they were respectful and polite, it can be seen that the Xinguo Mansion still did not snub herself, although the matter of soup porridge taught her very embarrassed, but now the palace has a conclusion, and the incident fell on the head of the Chen family, her mother-in-law is just kind and confused, and there is nothing wrong, and because of Xie Guifei, these princesses and ladies can't fall on her face, so they don't have the coldness in the palace that day, and they are still as enthusiastic as before. She bowed her head slightly, looked casual, and said, "What about your wife, which other ladies came over today?" ”

The little girl was very clever, and while smiling, she asked Mrs. Xue to go into the house with her, and said: "The British Duchess, the British Duchess, Mrs. Anyangbo, and the old Mrs. Xunyang are all here. ”

When Mrs. Xue heard what the little girl said, she smiled very proudly: "Where are they thinking of me, they are thinking of my silver." In the past, it was the Chen family who accompanied her out, and the Chen family accompanied these ladies to wipe the leaf cards, but now they all tacitly did not mention her, and they were so angry as if the soup soup had never happened, and everything was so natural and calm.

Shen Ruohua is not facing people from the Xinguo Mansion here, but Mama Li of the Fuwang Mansion, seeing Shen Ruohua pull the curtain out, she smiled very kindly, and stepped forward to help her: "Madame is here, the princess has been reading for a while, and I forgot to let Madame go to the palace to sit in the palace last time. ”

Shen Ruohua said with a smile: "The princess always thinks about me, she has already rewarded so many things a year ago, where can I eat and use up, I really don't dare to ask for it anymore." ”

Mama Li helped her to the Xinguo Mansion, walked to a place where there was no one, and said in a low voice: "The princess wants the maid to come and tell Madame that the eldest princess of Shouning is also here today, and I am afraid that I will meet it for a while, although there is a princess in the eldest princess who does not dare to go too far, but Madame should be careful, don't happen again that day, and then Mrs. Xi will accompany the princess to ride back with her, so as to be safe." ”

Shen Ruohua's heart warmed, knowing that Princess Fu was afraid that she would be harmed by Princess Shouning's means again, so she was on guard for everything, and whispered to Mama Li: "Thank you Princess for thinking about me like this." She also knew that it wouldn't be long before the eldest princess of Shouning would be out of her filial piety period, but she was afraid that she couldn't wait.
