Yu Ruoxu suddenly panicked, and simply moved out all the things in the dark grid, account books, documents, folds, flower notes, every piece of paper was turned over, but the account books of the gold mine in October seemed to disappear out of thin air, without a trace.
"Xiu'er." Yu Ruoxu called out urgently, with unconcealed anxiety in her tone.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Xiu'er pushed the door in, and saw Yu Ruoxu kneeling on the ground, with all kinds of account books and documents scattered in front of her, and was suddenly startled, "Miss, this is ......"
"You go and call Ah Si to me, and I'll ask him how he did this guard." Yu Ruoxu gritted his teeth and said.
Seeing that her face was not good, Xiu'er didn't dare to ask more, so she only responded cautiously, turned around and called Ah Si to the courtyard.
Yu Ruoxu suppressed the anger and uneasiness tumbling in her heart, and carefully counted it, fortunately, there is only one account book missing, and nothing else seems to have been passive. She couldn't help sneering, this thief is quite smart, in order not to let her notice, she specially pressed the account book below, if she was careless, it was estimated that she would not find out until the pre-holiday closing account.
By that time...... But it was too late.
"Miss, did you do something wrong?" Ah Si's voice came, Yu Ruoxu pushed the door open, and saw him standing outside the house, probably listening to what Xiu'er said, and at this time he looked trembling, as if he had made a big mistake.
"You're usually in charge of the backyard, but after I went out during the day today, did you see anyone who came to my house?" Yu Ruoxu asked.
"No, no one has ever been here." Ah Si thought about it and shook his head resolutely.
Yu Ruoxu's voice was a little more majestic, "Think about it again." β
"Mother said that you can't lie in front of the young lady and the master, so Ah Si definitely didn't lie to the young lady." Ah Si raised his head, eager to swear to the sky, "Little dare to guarantee that no one has ever come to Miss's house." β
Yu Ruoxu raised his eyebrows, did the October ledger grow wings and fly away?
"Then I ask you, have you been staying here all along? Didn't leave a single step? Yu Ruoxu thought about it, it is possible that the thief deliberately lured him away, and then sneaked in quietly to steal the ledger.
"Little ......" Ah Si's face was a little unnatural, "Little had a little discomfort in the first few days, but it has been better in the past few days, and I only went to the clean room ...... today."
Yu Ruoxu's heart sank, "When did you go?" β
"It's just that after lunch, the little one suddenly felt a little uncomfortable......" Ah Si saw that Yu Ruoxu's face was getting worse and worse, and knelt directly in front of her with a "snap", "It's a small fault, please Miss look at the small one who has been loyal to her duties during these days, if you don't have this errand, the little one's mother will have no money to treat the disease......"
Yu Ruoxu saw him kneeling down for her again, his mouth full of how his mother was, and sighed in his heart, "You get up first, I didn't say to let you leave the Yu family." β
Ah Si didn't dare to get up, he still knelt there, so he almost hugged her thigh and begged for mercy, "Miss, the little one really didn't lie, please believe the little one!" β
Yu Ruoxu took a step back, "I still dare not believe you like this?" β
"Really? Miss won't rush the little ones away? Ah Si hurriedly raised his head and asked cautiously.
Yu Ruoxu nodded, "You get up first, I have something to ask you." β
"Miss, excuse me." Ah Si stood up, but his face still looked low and small. Yu Ruoxu was a little tired in her heart, but her face was still faint, "Did you eat anything at noon?" How can you suddenly feel unwell? β
"The small ones are the same as usual, they are all meals made in the kitchen...... Ah Si thought for a while, "By the way, there is an extra snack today, it seems to be called water chestnut soup, the small one has never eaten before, and it looks very novel, so I can't help but eat a few more bites......"
Horseshoe soup!
Yu Ruoxu instantly understood something, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, "Who gave this horseshoe soup?" β
Ah Si thought for a while, "It seems to be the princess's leftovers." Before, the imperial doctor said to let the princess eat less sweet snacks, but there were still some left, because it was not too fresh, and it was not convenient to give it to the lord and the young lady, so the housekeeper said to let the people divide it themselves. β
She still remembered that Imperial Physician Wang said that the water chestnuts in the horseshoe soup are cold and should not be eaten by people with weak stomachs. And Ah Si happened to have a stomach trouble recently, and if he ate too much horseshoe soup, it would naturally aggravate his condition.
"The princess has a lot of snacks left, and everyone has been divided for half a month." Ah Si continued, "But the small ones usually go late, and they can't grab them every time, and today I finally have a bite left for the little ones......"
That's deliberately for you. Yu Ruo slandered.
No wonder Xu Xiao'e was so quiet during this time, it turned out that she still had a hand in private. She was still wondering, according to Xu Xiao'e's temperament, how could she just give up after suffering such a big loss, it seems that they had already thought of a later move, and they also put their hands on the account book of the gold mine.
She couldn't help but be a little frightened, when did she notice it?
Before Xu Xiao'e married into the Yu family, she reached a tacit understanding with Yu Zhongjun and resolutely refused to let anyone outside the Yu family touch the affairs related to the gold mine. So she also talked to the housekeeper, if Xu Xiao'e asked about the gold mine, she said that it had been handed over to other uncles in the clan to take care of, and it had nothing to do with Yu Zhongjun.
In this way, in the past few months after getting married, Xu Xiao'e seems to have been looking for something, and the housekeeper mentioned to her before that Xu Xiao'e would stay in Yu Zhongjun's study for a long time, rummaging around, not knowing what she was looking for, and Zhuyan would also take great risks to turn over her room.
Could it be ...... Looking for the gold mine's books?
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt, South Vietnam was still in civil strife, one was short of soldiers and horses, and the other was short of food and grass...... All can be bought with gold.
The envoy of the Nanyue State took the opportunity of the little emperor's birthday banquet to enter Beijing to ask for help, but the imperial court did not agree to send troops, nor did it allocate funds to the Nanyue State, and the only promise was to let Xu Xiao'e marry into the Yu family.
Yu Ruoxu oozed some cold sweat behind her back, could it be that the Queen Mother wanted to throw the mess of Nanyue Kingdom to the Yu family, so she would propose a way for the princess to marry at the little emperor's birthday banquet?
But...... It seems that there is still some explanation of something.
Even if Xu Xiao'e gets the gold mine ledger, so what? The family law of the Yu family stipulates that only the relatives and sons of the Yu family are eligible to inherit the Yu family's gold mine, so Xu Xiao'e must quickly give birth to a son for Yu Zhongjun, and wait until after the crown ceremony before she can directly take care of the gold mine.
It will take more than 20 years in the middle, can the South Vietnamese Kingdom wait?
Yu Ruoxu couldn't help but have a headache, she encountered too many things today, and she couldn't figure it out for a while. However, what she needs to do now is to get the account book back from Xu Xiao'e's hands.
The Yu family's gold mine can't have any more accidents.
"Ruoxu." Yu Zhongjun's voice came, Yu Ruoxu turned around, and saw Pei Changyuan helping Yu Zhongjun slowly walking towards her, "Why is Daddy here?" β
The winter days are exceptionally short, and before the unitary time, it is mostly dark. In such light, Yu Zhongjun must not be able to see anything.
"When my father saw that you hadn't come, he thought something had happened, so he thought he would come and have a look." Yu Zhongjun's eyes were a little fluttering, "What's wrong?" I just heard Ah Si's voice. β
"Let's go in and talk." Yu Ruoxu walked over to support him, and asked Xiu'er to light a few more lights, "You guys are guarding outside, and we will be called when dinner is ready." β
"Yes." Xiu'er nodded, turned and closed the door.
Yu Ruoxu looked at Yu Zhongjun, all her thoughts were unable to speak, and she was silent for a long time, she asked in a low voice, "Daddy, if a person suddenly takes out an old thing that has not been used for a long time, what will it mean?" β
Yu Zhongjun stroked his chin, "The clothes are not as good as new, and the people are not as good as the old." That person probably wanted to say something about the owner of the old thing. β
"Is the owner of the old thing...... Yu Ruoxu pondered, the special paper made by the Hou Mansion of Dingyuan, the people of the Hou Mansion......
Liang Jin!
She was so shocked that she almost jumped up, was Liang Jieyu talking about Liang Jin? Let her sue him, be careful?
And the scarlet rouge, like a ball of unwiped blood, congealed on the yellowed note.
Be careful, kill you.
Is someone trying to kill Liang Jin?
Her heart suddenly felt like a huge stone had been pressed, and it was heavy and heavy. Liang Jieyu is now trapped in Chonghua Palace, and the people around her are unable to fly, so she can only use this method to ask her, who has a close relationship with Liang Jin, to pass on the news.
Liang Jieyu...... I'm afraid that if I hear some secret, I will be guarded like this. Even the epidemic at this time may be just a front.
"What's wrong with you?" Yu Zhongjun felt that her breathing was a little heavier, and couldn't help but ask.
"Daddy, I might have to go to Liaodong." Yu Ruo opened his mouth thoughtfully, "The prince of the world...... It seems to be in danger. β
Yu Zhongjun's heart tightened, "Lord Shizi? β
"Yes." Yu Ruoxu briefly told him about the qiΔ he saw in the palace today, as well as the note, "Today's daughter went to Chonghua Palace, that scene was too unusual, and my daughter was worried that it would be related to the safety of the prince, so ......"
Yu Zhongjun was silent for a moment and said, "Liaodong is located in the north, and there is a war, it is not safe for you to go alone, for the sake of my father, it is better to ask others to go." β
"My daughter thinks it's a confidential matter, and it shouldn't be known to more people." Yu Ruoxu thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, why didn't Jieyu Niangniang ask Master Hou directly, but instead find her daughter to pass the word?" β
"You have a point." Yu Zhongjun still frowned, "But I'm still not at ease for my father." β
"Tell Pei Changchang to follow his daughter, he is strong in martial arts, and he can be regarded as a guard along the way, and he said to the outside world that the second lady of the Yu family occasionally felt cold and was recuperating in the boudoir." Yu Ruoxu said.
Yu Zhongjun nodded reluctantly, "You...... When will the Father persuade you to make up your mind? β
Yu Ruoxu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Daddy knows his daughter best." β
"And when are you going to leave?"
"The day after tomorrow, tomorrow my daughter wants to invite her father to watch a good show." Yu Ruoxu smiled lightly, "Tomorrow night at the latest." β
