It didn't take long for someone from the East Courtyard to report, saying that as soon as she and Xiu'er left, Xu Xiao'e began to flip through the account book, not only that, but also sent Ayuan out in a hurry, and she didn't know what to do.

Yu Ruoxu smiled and took a sip of tea, she didn't expect the fish to take the bait so quickly, "You continue to keep an eye on it, if there is any news, come and sue me as soon as possible." ”

The little maid nodded in response, turned around and left Yu Ruoxu's room.

"Miss, the princess is in such a hurry to send Ayuan out, could it be that she is moving the rescuers?" Xiu'er wondered.

Yu Ruoxu glanced at her appreciatively, "** not far from ten." The rescuer...... It should be Yunbi. ”

"Yunbi?" Xiu'er suddenly realized, but she was a little worried, "That Yunbi is much more difficult to deal with than the princess, in case she finds out...... Is the young lady sure in her heart? ”

"You just have to wait and see the show." Yu Ruoxu smiled and said, "When the time comes, remember to invite your father to come over to watch the ceremony, otherwise we won't be able to do this play." ”

Xiu'er saw that she looked confident, and her heart settled down a little.

Because Xu Xiao'e had a ghost in her heart, she even had lunch and hurried back to the house after a few casual bites. Yu Ruoxu was not in a hurry, but always kept an eye on the door, and when it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, Ayuan and Yunbi hurriedly returned to Yu's mansion.

"The rescuers are back." Yu Ruoxu noticed that Yun Bi was holding a brocade box in her hand, and she couldn't help but raise her vigilance a little in her heart, "Xiu'er, you send a few more people over to see if you can hear what Xu Xiao'e said to Yun Bi." Also, pay more attention to Yunbi, she is the key person. ”

"The slave understands." Xiu'er nodded, turned around and left the flower hall.

Yu Ruoxu scooped a bowl of soup and took a few sips slowly, still a little anxious in her heart. She wanted to settle the matter at home quickly, and then immediately set off to Liaodong to find Liang Jin and tell him to be careful.

She didn't know who was going to kill Liang Jin, and she didn't know what kind of conspiracy was behind it, she felt like there was a fire burning in her heart, worried that Liang Jin would be in danger before she arrived in Liaodong, if this was the case...... She will definitely regret it for the rest of her life.

He once told her that if you spend your whole life, you will not lose each other.

He understands her mind so well, understands the insoluble sorrow in her heart, how can she be willing to let him get involved in danger, and his life hangs by a thread in a bitter cold place like Liaodong?

She has never believed in ghosts and gods, but now, she prayed silently in her heart, hoping that God would bless her today and bless Liang Jin from being poisoned.

All afternoon, she had been writing in her room, but after all, she was impetuous, and the words she wrote were not strong enough, and then she was really a little out of breath, so she simply crumpled the discarded rice paper into a ball and threw it on the ground.

"Miss, what's the matter?" As soon as Xiu'er entered the door, she saw her ruthless appearance, and she was a little surprised, "Is Miss worried about the things in the East Courtyard?" ”

Yu Ruoxu was stunned, but she didn't dare to admit that she was worried more about Liang Jin, who was far away in Liaodong, so she just nodded, her voice a little hoarse, "...... Well. ”

Seeing her obscure look, Xiu'er sighed and picked up the paper ball on the ground, "If the young lady is in a hurry, it's okay to vent it, if it's as silent as before, the slave is even more worried." ”

Yu Ruoxu reluctantly pulled out a smile, "It's so dignified, why did you mention the previous things again." ”

"Last time, too, the young lady was worried about her father-in-law, so she locked herself in the room and didn't eat or drink, which really frightened the slave maid." Xiu'er's eyes were full of worry, "The slave knows that the young lady is bitter, if she is uncomfortable, even if she beats and scolds the slave and maid, don't hold back." “

Yu Ruoxu smiled, where is this and where?

But last time...... After Yue Zirong's death, she returned to the Yu family's mansion and hid in her room for several days without eating or drinking, forcing Yu Zhongjun to almost tear down her door. Later, she was finally willing to come out, but just as she was about to speak, her throat was sweet, and she spat out a mouthful of blood with a "wow".

In those days, she felt as if she had experienced vicissitudes of life, and her heart seemed to be covered with a thick layer of dust, and she could no longer love or hurt.

That year, she had just turned fifteen years old, and there was still a month left, which was Yue Zirong's crown ceremony.

Yue Chengxiang also joked at the time, saying that Yu Ruoxu's and Yue Zirong's crown ceremony could be done together, which could be regarded as a good thing.

As a result, she and Yue Zirong did not wait for that time.

"Miss, there's news from the East Courtyard." Yu Ruo came back to her senses suddenly, and she didn't know when Xiu'er went out, but she ran into the house in a hurry, panting and saying, "I heard from the people in the East Courtyard that the princess and Yunbi had a fight just now." ”

"Quarrel?" Yu Ruoxu frowned, "What's the matter?" ”

"Xiaojun was afraid of being discovered at the time, so he only dared to gather in the corner of the wall to listen to a few words secretly, it seemed that as soon as Yunbi entered the house, he didn't say a few words, and he argued with the princess, saying that he was mercenary and mistook a big thing, see how you explain Yunyun to the ancestors and ancestors."

"Missed a big deal?" Yu Ruoxu's heart was a little nervous, it seemed that Xu Xiao'e had all the resources to marry into the Yu family, and she really had other plans.

"Yes, listening to Xiaojun, Yun Bi seems to be very angry, one ancestor and one ancestor, the royal family is safe, and she scolds the princess so much that she doesn't dare to reply." There was a bit of schadenfreude in Xiu'er's tone, "Later, the princess argued a few more words, but she really couldn't say anything about Yunbi, so she had to obediently give in, and it was not too late to go again tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow?" Yu Ruoxu originally planned to leave for Liaodong tomorrow, thinking that she couldn't delay it any longer, "By the way, what about Yunbi?" Find out where she went today? ”

"The slave maid just asked the concierge, and Uncle Zhang said that Yunbi went out with a box in the morning, saying that she wanted to buy rouge gouache for the princess." Xiu'er thought for a moment and said.

"Do you have to take the box to buy rouge gouache?" Yu Ruoxu smiled mockingly, "There must be something greasy in that box." You send someone to keep an eye on Yunbi to see what she does with this box. ”

"The slave was about to say something, but Xiaojun later saw that Yun Bi was holding the box and going to the backyard, and asked Ayuan to find her a shovel, could it be that she was going to bury the box?" Xiu'er said.

Yu Ruoxu's eyes lit up, and she sighed in her heart, "If that's the case, let's go dig out the box tonight and see what treasures are hidden inside." ”

If it was the account books of the gold mines, of course she would not have asked for it, if not...... She also has a way to get Xu Xiao'e to obediently return the gold mine account book.

The backyard of the east courtyard is close to the bamboo forest of Yufu, and in order to escape the heat and ventilate in summer, Yu Zhongjun deliberately opened a corner door in the backyard. At night, Yu Ruoxu took advantage of the darkness and took Xiu'er to sneak into the backyard from the corner gate.

The whole backyard is not too big, Yu Ruoxu asked Xiu'er to help let out the wind, and he carried a lantern and carefully inspected the soil on the ground along the corner of the wall. If it had just been buried this afternoon, there must have been traces of renovation on the ground. Just halfway through, Xiu'er suddenly whispered, "Miss, someone is coming!" “

Yu Ruoxu's heart sank, and she hurriedly blew out the lantern and pulled Xiu'er to hide in the bushes on the side.

A figure walked from the front yard, with a cautious step, as if he was afraid that someone would find him. The soft light of the lantern was reflected on her face, and Yu Ruoxu couldn't help but gasp.

It turned out to be Xu Xiao'e?!

What is she doing in the backyard so sneaky?

Xu Xiao'e, holding a lantern in one hand and a shovel in the other, tiptoed to the side of the corner alone, squatted down and began to dig up. Yu Ruoxu held her breath, she didn't dare to take a breath, she just stared at her, wanting to see what she was going to do.

Xu Xiao'e was digging, and muttered a few words from time to time, "I don't know what I'm murdering, now I'm the princess, do you think I'm still in Nanyue Kingdom...... If you still refuse to show me, what if you get caught in it? ”

Yu Ruoxu was shocked, what was she talking about?

What do you mean by "I'm a princess now"? Wasn't it when it was in South Vietnam?

Xu Xiao'e dug hard for a long time, was so tired that she sat directly on the ground, took a long breath, and complained in a low voice, "I finally dug it, I really don't know who it is guarding against, buried so deeply." ”

Yu Ruoxu clearly saw that the October gold mine account book was lying quietly in the box. She couldn't wait to rush out now and snatch the account book from Xu Xiao'e's hand.

Xu Xiao'e picked up the account book from the box and flipped through it several times, but there was nothing in it, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed, "No...... Where the hell is that? Her gaze swept over a line of accounts, and she suddenly gasped, picked up the account book and looked at it carefully.

Yu Ruoxu shouted in her heart that it was not good, she remembered that in October, a new ore vein was discovered in Langzhong, so the income from the gold mine soared. A person as greedy for money as Xu Xiao'e sees the profitable Yu family gold mine like a fox seeing a whole litter of chickens.

"Oh my God......" Xu Xiao'e's eyes flashed with greed, "With so much gold, how much jewelry and rouge can you buy......"

"Xu Xiao'e!"

Xu Xiao'e was shocked, her hand slipped, and the ledger almost fell to the ground. I saw Yun Bi walking over with an angry face and snatching the account book in her hand, "What are you doing now?" Have I said all that this afternoon? ”

Xu Xiao'e has always been a person who eats soft rather than hard, stood up, crossed her waist and scolded, "Who allowed you to call this princess by her name directly?" Here, I am the princess of Nanyue, you are now my maid, you better remember this princess! “

Yun Bi laughed angrily, "You're embarrassed to mention the difference between humility and humility with me, look at these things you do, which one looks like a princess?" I really regret choosing you to come over! “

"Speaking of you, you still look down on me!" Xu Xiao'e couldn't say anything about her, so she began to make trouble unreasonably, "Okay, I'll go back now, and see who is begging whom?!" “

"Where are you going? Don't sue me, you still have the face to go back to South Vietnam. Yun Bi snorted coldly as if she was used to her nonsense, "I sued you before, this is Yu Ruoxu's trick, she probably noticed that the account book was taken away by us, and deliberately came to trick you." You don't believe me, but you believe her, I didn't even see Aunt Huang today, and I was forcibly pulled back from the palace by you, it's really ...... Falling short! “

"I just thought, what if there was that little storeroom? The housekeeper also said that there is indeed a separate book, think about it, how much silver is the treasure of four or five pieces of paper worth?! Xu Xiao'e gritted her teeth and said, "Of course, you have never had a hard life without money, I am different from you, I ......"

"What are you?" Yun Bi interrupted her angrily, "It's not that you haven't seen Yu Ruoxu's skills, the housekeeper is the old man of the Yu family, they must have colluded in advance!" Are you really stupid, or do you deliberately want us to destroy the country in South Vietnam? ”

"What are you anxious about? Wouldn't you be able to go tomorrow? The account books are all here, as long as the things are sent to the palace, does the Queen Mother still care about the past two days? Xu Xiao'e looked annoyed, "I'm just to be on the safe side, let you come back with the account book and check it again, it's really kind to treat it as a donkey's liver and lungs." ”

Yun Bi glared at her, "A day or two? Now we have a request to the Xue family's court, send it over one day earlier, and the rivers and mountains of South Vietnam can be saved one day earlier, do you understand the stakes here?! ”

"I see."

Xu Xiao'e and Yun Bi were both stunned, only to see Yu Zhongjun being supported by Pei Changchang and slowly walking from the front yard.
