I finally got home, and it took me only an hour to go back and forth.

Ruyi was doing needlework outside, and when he heard that Rong Zheng and the others were back, he hurriedly stood up.

Rong Zheng nodded and said, "Has anyone ever come to me?" ”

Ruyi shook her head.

Rong Zheng relieved himself a little at this time, and walked into the inner room, and Zisu followed in. Ruyi also followed.

Rong Zheng sat at the table, propped his head with one hand, looked at the banana outside the window, frowned and pondered for a while, Zi Su cautiously said in front of Rong Zheng: "Miss, this matter can't be revealed as easily as before." ”

"I know, there is a bottom line for everything, and this matter has violated my bottom line, so naturally it is not so easy to bypass."

The little maid in the courtyard announced: "Sister Huiqiu is here." ”

Rong Zheng didn't want to see anyone at the moment, so he turned his head and Ruyi said: "You go out and tell her, just say that I am not feeling well and want to rest, and I will not see you today." If she has anything to say, let her sue you. ”

Ruyi agreed and went.

Rong Zheng bypassed the screen, took off his outer gown, and lay down on the bed with his clothes. Zisu was about to put down the tent for Rong Zheng, but Rong Zheng stopped her: "It's okay, I just want to lie down for a while, I don't need to put the tent." You'll have to keep it a secret for me. Ruyi and the nurse, don't talk about it for the time being. ”

Zi Su raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't worry, Miss, I know." ”

Rong Zheng didn't want anyone to disturb her when she was resting, so Shisu retreated. When she walked outside, Huiqiu was already gone, and Ruyi was still sitting there doing needlework.

"Is there anything wrong with her?"

Ruyi said: "It's nothing, I said that I was bored at home, and I wanted to come over to talk to Miss." Hearing that the young lady was not happy, he went back again, and greeted the young lady. ”

Shiso didn't take it to heart.

Ruyi couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked, "Is something going on there, Miss?" ”

Shisu said: "Don't guess yet, you'll know after a while." ”

Ruyi was a little displeased: "Hmph, it seems that you and Miss have a deep friendship, and Miss will take you wherever she goes." ”

"Come on, you don't have to say a word, Miss ordered. I don't dare not follow it. I want to know and ask Miss to go. I just heard that Hongluo and Qingfang are arguing, don't you want to quarrel with me again, the noise makes the young lady uneasy. ”

Ruyi pouted and said, "But just ask casually, if you don't want to say it, forget it." ”

Shiso has no intention of scheming with wishful thinking. Out of the door, Mei Fen was quietly beckoning to Shiso under the tree.

Shisu walked over and asked her in a low voice, "What's the matter with you?" Miss is resting right now, don't disturb her. ”

Mei Fen pulled Shisu to a secluded place, lowered her voice and said to her, "Qingfang went out of us today. immediately went to find her mother. The mother and daughter muttered in the house, and Qingfang came out for nearly half an hour. ”

Zi Su was a little stunned at first, but then he realized and asked, "Did you stare at her?" ”

Mei Fen said, "It was ordered by the young lady." ”

If you want to say that these people in the yard are ghosts, all of them are suspicious, but Qingfang's unintentional appearance these days is indeed suspicious, it seems that not only her, but also the young lady is suspicious, so she and Mei Fen ordered: "Then you keep an eye on it, if there is something unusual, you will immediately come to sue us." ”

Rong Zheng lay alone on the bed, her eyes resting on the multicolored silk thread-embroidered sachet hanging from the corner of the tent. She thought about everything back and forth. Xindao's stepmother was finally unwilling to attack her. Perhaps it was the first few intentional or unintentional actions that Rong Zheng did not fight back well, which made Ma feel that Rong Zheng was timid, so he became unscrupulous. She remembered the last time.

It was also when she was fourteen years old, which happened to be the age to say goodbye to her. At Ma's birthday banquet, there was a farce that shocked the family and guests. When the family was singing, she slipped away halfway and wanted to play in the garden. There were many guests in the house that day, and many people she did not know came, and when she arrived at the garden, she saw two young men with strange faces enjoying the fish around the pool. See her coming. They all gathered around to talk to her.

Rong Zheng originally disdained to circle with these people, but later a man in a blue satin robe said to Rong Zheng: "Miss, there is a moving Western painting in that room. Did You Know? ”

Rong Zheng was very curious. Busy said: "Can you still move?" Don't coax me, I'm not a three-year-old. Besides, this is my house, and I don't know what strange treasures my family has. ”

"If you don't believe me, come with us and take a look."

Rong Zheng was thinking that she was afraid of something in her own home, and she had to go to see moving paintings if she had no fear with these two people. The two of them took her to the secluded hut in the back garden, where one of them had closed the door. Rong Zheng didn't feel that it was in danger, so he hurriedly asked: "Take out the painting where it is, I'll take a look." ”

One of them said, "You are the young lady of the Rong family, you are so good-looking." What kind of material is this dress, what kind of flowers are embroidered, are we okay? ”

The other said, "What kind of incense does the young lady really use?" ”

Rong Zheng realized that something was wrong, so he wanted to go out, but he was blocked at the door and couldn't get out, and he was shocked and angry: "This is in the Rong family, my father is a court official, you dare to take the family members of the court official, don't you want to live." ”

Rong Zheng yelled, trying to make the movement bigger and attract people to escape. She roared out these voices, and sure enough, she attracted the maid.

The first thing I found was a maid in charge of sprinkling and sweeping in Ma's room, named Xiaocui. Xiaocui heard Rong Zheng calling inside, she couldn't open the door outside, and then went to call the others. In the end, the Ma family was alarmed, and the strong man in the family kicked the door open.

The ladies who came to the banquet watched Rong Zheng and two men come out of the house, Rong Zheng's hair was messy and his clothes were disheveled. They were all stunned.

This incident once caused a stir in Bianliang, and at that time, she was only blamed for being stupid, how could she so easily believe the words of strangers, and followed the man into the house.

Ma seemed to say that he would strictly investigate the matter, but he checked and investigated, and finally it was over. However, her reputation in Bianliang has already stinked. Later, after going through many things, she figured out a little. Why did those two people appear in the back garden of the house, why did they escape in the end, why they were not investigated, there must be an insider in the family, and even someone close to her planned this matter, and she really stupidly drilled into other people's traps.

When her father was in office, she and Sanfang had never had any grudges, and who else could do this except her stepmother. The thief shouts the trick of catching the thief. She was at a loss.

Although nothing like the previous life happened in this life, Ma's actions were not small. So much so that now people are robbing her halfway. If she is silent any longer, she is afraid that people will think that she is too cowardly, and she will not dare to resist when she is bullied. This time, Rong Zheng made up his mind. Anyway, he has already torn his face with Ma, and he doesn't have to think about maintaining the apparent harmony anymore.

In the end, how to deal with it depends on her father's intentions, whether Ma is dead or alive, whether she goes or stays has nothing to do with her.

Thinking of this, she couldn't lie down anymore, and shouted Ruyi to come in. Let Ruyi prepare pen and ink. She sat down on the table and wrote a letter to her father, recording the ins and outs of the incident.

After writing the letter, she thought of the Xiao family brothers, Xiao Fu helped her go to the capital and Nanyang, and they all helped her get things done. But this time it's not as good as before, if you want to bet Feng Yi to Anyang, Xiao Fu's skills are not as good as Xiao Luhou, if there is an accident halfway, won't you just beat the chickens and eggs? Only send Xiao Lu to go. His temperament is not as calm as Xiao Fu's.

Rong Zheng thought about it, so she had to let the two brothers go on a trip, and the excuse had been thought of, the new plums and cherries in the village came down, and she asked the two brothers to help her send the fruits to Anyang.

Rong Zheng asked Ruyi to help her call Xiao Lu in.

After a while, Xiao Lu came over, and Rong Zheng sent all the maids down, leaving Xiao Lu alone.

Rong Zheng said: "I'll let you go to Anyang in the next two days, and you can also bring the person from Sweet Water Lane." ”

Xiao Lu knew that this matter was very important, so he had to be cautious, and hurriedly said, "If Miss asks the little one to escort him." The little one is afraid of an accident on the way. ”

"I'll let your brother join you. He only said to the outside, I will let you send fruit to my father to taste. That's what everyone else asks. I'll send you two brothers, and you can see if you can do it?" ”

Xiao Lu is not stupid, knowing that this is a confidential matter, naturally the fewer people know, the better. Besides, the young lady's excuse is to send fruit to the master, and if she sends a fruit and asks a large group of people to go, it seems to be more conspicuous. He has been in the Rong family for more than a year, and he has also learned a lot of skills from Luo Liang, and if there is any emergency, he will probably be able to deal with it. However, he had never done such an errand, and he didn't have much confidence in his heart.

Rong Zheng looked at Xiao Lu's hesitant eyes, and couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. Slightly angry: "You only told me that you can do it?" ”

When the matter came, he had to grit his teeth, Xiao Lu said: "The little one is willing to give it a try." ”

"It's not a matter of trying, something happens and it's a big deal. If you're really not sure, I'll send you another one with good skills. ”

Xiao Lu hurriedly said: "In this way, the small ones will have more confidence." ”

Rong Zheng said: "In this case, some things have to be rearranged, so you can set off again the morning after tomorrow." The other one, you go to Sweetwater Lane, and someone will meet you over there. ”

Xiao Lu agreed repeatedly.

Rong Zheng didn't want to trouble Mu Xuan anymore about this, but she can use the two brothers of the Xiao family now. The two have their own strengths and weaknesses, and neither of them is a top candidate. She had no choice but to beg Mu Xuan again and ask him to send someone to help detain Feng Yi to Anyang.

Letter, people, these two things are not enough, Rong Zheng doesn't want to leave any more opportunities for Ma's. The two things she kept were going to be taken by the Xiao brothers when the time came, and my father was afraid that he would be half angry when he saw this.

At night, Zisu and Rong Zheng discussed: "Miss, why don't you find a time to let Qingfang out?" ”

Rong Zheng hurriedly asked, "Have you checked it out?" ”

Zi Su said: "She is the one who has the most contact with my wife on our side. Besides, there have been a few times when she has been sneaky, and it is always reassuring to keep such a person. ”

Rong Zheng said: "It's okay, it's cleaner to clean it out." When the time comes, let Mei Fen fill the vacant position, I see that this little girl is still down-to-earth. ”

Zi Su said again: "It's just a little difficult." Her mother is a person in the wife's room, and she also has some roots in our family, but she is afraid that she will not be able to drive away. ”

Rong Zheng said: "There are many ways to go one by one. Her deed of sale is in my hands, and I don't have to report to my wife when the time comes, I can be her master. ”

"I'm just afraid that her mother won't follow her, what should I do if I go to my wife to cry?"

Rong Zheng muttered: "Her master is about to be unable to keep it, will she care about such a little girl?" ”

Shisu understood that Rong Zheng had already made a decision. She was also clearly aware that it would not be long before a storm would set off in the house. Now it is the wife who should protect herself, not her young lady.

Zisu understood the meaning of Rong Zheng, so he came to Ruyi to discuss with her. After hearing this, Ruyi said: "I hate eating inside and outside the most, can't our young lady treat her thin?" Such a person is clean when she is rushed, and I have my own way to clean her up. ”

As the two first-class maids beside Rong Zheng, Shiso is calm, cheerful and lively, and complements each other.

A day later, Ruyi brought Qingfang to Rong Zheng and said to Rong Zheng: "Miss, there is a thief in our house. This little hoof is broken, and it can't be kept. ”

Rong Zheng's face turned pale and asked, "What did she steal?" ”

Ruyi said: "A few days ago, Miss wanted to wear that pair of pearl earrings, and I couldn't find it when I looked for it, but I didn't expect it to be taken by this little hoof." Ruyi said and handed a rolled handkerchief to Rong Zheng.

Qingfang knelt down and begged bitterly: "Miss, you have to be the master of the slaves." The little one has never taken Miss's things. ”

Rong Zheng quickly understood what was going on, she opened the handkerchief, took a look, it was the earrings she wore before, so she wrapped it in a handkerchief, threw it in front of Qingfang, and said coldly: "Everyone has stolen goods, what else do you have to say!?" ”

Qingfang sobbed: "Miss, this is really not taken by the slave maid, someone must be trying to frame the slave maid." Please also ask the lady to find out. ”

Rong Zheng turned his face away, obviously didn't want to talk to Qingfang anymore, Qingfang pulled the hem of Rong Zheng's clothes, and begged bitterly: "Miss, how can the slave and the maid recognize what the slave and maid have not done." It's not me, it's certainly not me. Miss hasn't let us into your house these days, how can you say that I took it? It must be a red snail, I had a fight with her two days ago, she must be trying to frame me, and ask Miss to make decisions for me! ”

"What have you done, don't look at us and we don't know. It's holding you today, do you want to keep the face? It's useless to ask for Miss, we can't afford thieves here! ”

Qingfang heard Ruyi saying that she was a thief, and couldn't help but reason with Ruyi: "Sister Ruyi, you didn't see me taking something from the young lady's room, why do you think I took it?" ”

"You didn't take it, so why did this thing end up in your box?"

Qingfang defended: "I live in the same room with Hongluo, she must be deliberately trying to frame me." ”

Ruyi nodded and said, "Okay, you still don't admit it." I'm going to call the red snail to come and confront you. ”

After a while, Hongluo came over, she kowtowed to Rong Zheng, and said 1510: "Miss, I saw Qingfang secretly looking at Miss's door two days ago. I asked her what was wrong, and she looked flustered and uncomfortable. ”

Qingfang cried and fell to the ground: "It's wronged, I just have something to report to Miss, how can I conclude that I ran to Miss's room and stole Miss's things." It's definitely you, it's you who hold a grudge. Deliberately trying to frame me, didn't he? Qingfang said and didn't care about tearing the red snail's face.

Xiao Wang heard the noise and walked in, stopped in front of Qingfang and said, "Girl, if you want to be decent, you shouldn't sprinkle in front of Miss like this." ”

Qingfang completely understood that these people were colluding to frame her. Unconvinced, she sobbed for a while, wiped her tears with her sleeve, and slowly stood up.

Rong Zheng said coldly: "Our temple here is small, and we can't tolerate you, a big Bodhisattva." Pack up and leave as soon as possible. She called Shisu and asked Shisu to bring Qingfang's deed of sale. Rong Zheng threw Qingfang's contract in front of her, and got up and went back to the back room.

drove her away, and sure enough, he wanted to drive her away. Qingfang cried and shouted: "Miss, do you just let the slave and maid suffer this injustice, and do not make the decision for the slave and maid?" ”

Rong Zheng said: "I have the final say on whether to decide or not." Now I'll save you two points of face and get out. Don't make a lot of noise, it won't look good when everyone has no face. ”

Qingfang knew that it was useless for her to say anything, and what she said to take the stolen goods was just an excuse. The young lady couldn't tolerate her anymore. But how willingly she was so cast out! Qingfang wiped away her tears vigorously, picked up the deed on the ground, and walked out without looking back. (To be continued.) )
