Chapter 360: The Inner Thief
Early the next morning, Chen Shu, who had already received Ling Ruo's orders, came to the side room and said to Yilan, who was still sitting on a chair in the clothes of yesterday, and said, "The slave is ordered by the master to send the second lady home. ”
Yilan stood up, glanced at him coldly, didn't say anything, and walked straight out, which made Chen Shu, who originally thought that this matter would be difficult, secretly relieved.
Just as he was sending Yilan back, Ling Ruo remembered his instructions to Xiao Luzi that day, and hurriedly summoned him to ask, and learned that after he went to the Qiyun Kaiyue Pavilion with the Nian clan, Chen Shu had left sneakily.
"So, Chen Shu may be the thief?" Since the incident with the iron snake, Ling Ruo has always faintly felt that someone around him has betrayed him, Xiao Luzi and Shui Xiu have been serving him, and if they want to betray, they will not wait until now, so there are only two newcomers, Chen Shu and An'er.
On the same day, she persuaded Nian to take her away from Jingsiju, and if Jingsiju had a mole, she would rush to report the news, so she asked Xiaoluzi to keep an eye on these two people secretly.
"That's it." Xiao Luzi thought about it for a while, and said in the faint light of his eyes: "Master, do you remember the night when the iron snake appeared, who was responsible for the vigil?" ”
"Chen Shu!" Ling Ruo coldly popped out these two words from between his teeth, he had asked him that night if he had heard the whistle, he said that he had bad ears at that time, he had never heard it, and now that he thinks about it, it is a procrastination word.
"The slave asked the Mao brothers to check, Chen Shu has a house outside, and there is a Qing Qi who was redeemed from the Qinglou, and it cost two hundred taels at that time. Coincidentally, the day he ransomed that Qing Qi happened to be the third day when the cleavage snake appeared in our courtyard. "With the current connections of the Mao brothers, it is easy to find out such a thing.
"Don't ask, it must be this guy, eating inside and out, helping Chang Fujin harm the master, otherwise with the money he has as a subordinate, even if he doesn't eat or drink, he won't be able to save two hundred taels of silver." Shui Yue said with a look of disdain.
"It's not uncommon to sell me as a master for profit, but the price is lower, just for a house and a prostitute, I will take a life, heh, I am really willing to do it." Ling Ruo sneered, a cold chill between his eyebrows.
"Master, what do you want to do with him?" Xiao Luzi asked, Chen Shu did such a thing, it is impossible to keep him here any longer.
Ling Ruo thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Since this matter has already been known, I can prevent him as much as possible in the future, but I am not in a hurry to deal with it, maybe he can still do me a great favor." After speaking, she glanced at the people: "Remember, when Chen Shu comes back later, don't show any flaws in front of him." ”
In this way, everything was hidden, Chen Shu only thought that his identity had not been exposed, and he was still doing things in the Jingsi Residence, but he didn't know that his every move had already been under the watchful eyes of others.
In the fragrance of osmanthus flowers in Manfu, Yinzhen's body is getting better day by day, and occasionally he can walk on the ground for a while, and Imperial Doctor Qi estimates that it should be about the same for a few more days of recuperation.
In addition, after confirming that the prescription was effective, Kangxi immediately ordered people to buy a large number of medicines according to the prescription, decoction and medicine and distribute them to the people suffering from the epidemic for free. Kangxi's move made the people grateful to Dai De, and they praised him as a saint and benevolent.
Although the drug is not 100% effective, there are still people who die due to individual differences, but it is almost negligible compared to the number of people rescued.
In order to further appease people's hearts, Kangxi issued a holy decree that in addition to free medicine, anyone who lost their relatives in the epidemic could get a pension of 20 taels of silver.
On this day, the sky was dripping with a light rain, coming back from the Piercing Cloud Kaiyue Pavilion, although the corner of Ling Ruo's skirt was still wet with an umbrella, after changing clothes, An'er brought the fetal medicine, this medicine is twice a day, and after taking it every time, I will feel a little sleepy, Ling Ruo was ready to take a nap as usual, and I didn't think that just after lying down for a while, Xiao Luzi knocked on the door outside and said that the Fucha clan was coming.
Although Ling Ruo wondered how the Fucha clan had chosen a rainy time to come, she was still very happy, and quickly got up in her clothes and ordered someone to invite her in.
"The courtiers ask Ling Fujin for peace!" After the Fucha clan came in, he bowed to him.
"E-niang doesn't have to be polite." Ling Ruo hurriedly helped her up, the place where she started was wet and cold, and after a closer look, she found that there were many traces of wetting on Fucha's body, and she hurriedly said to Shui Xiu, who was standing aside, "Go and get a clean handkerchief to wipe it for Madame." ”
"Don't bother." Fucha grabbed her and said with a complicated expression: "E-niang has something to say to you today, you let them all go out." ”
Ling Ruo also felt that something was wrong with the Fucha clan today, so he immediately agreed, and waved everyone away before he said in a cut voice: "Eniang, but what happened at home?" ”
The Fucha clan seemed to be a little unsure of how to speak, and it took a while to look up at Ling Ruo and say, "It's about your sister's ......."
"Elan? What's wrong with her? Since sending Yilan home, she has not seen Lu again, but has been inquiring about the young talents in the court who have not yet married.
When Fucha heard this, his eyes turned red, lest he shed tears, so he hurriedly pressed the corners of his eyes with a silk handkerchief, and then said: "This child has been sullen since she came back a few days ago, and asked her what she was doing, but she refused to say, until yesterday, I asked her to pack her things and prepare to enter the palace to run for election; She told me that she was unclean and would not enter the palace even if she died. I asked for a long time, and she told me that the last time she spent the night in the palace, she had a skin-to-skin relationship with King Yong. ”
Ling Ruo lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Yes, but I have already made Yilan forget about this matter, not to mention that strictly speaking, she has never lost her temper, and no one else knows about this matter." ”
Fucha nodded tearfully, "Yes, you're right, from our point of view, Lan'er is indeed not out of line, but she doesn't know it that way." Ruo'er, you also know your sister's temperament, once she recognizes something, ten cows can't pull it back, and since then, she hasn't spoken a word to me, nor has she eaten a mouthful of food or drunk a sip of water, and she won't listen to any persuasion. ”
Ling Ruo didn't expect Yilan to be so stubborn, and he didn't know what to do for a while, and after a while, he held Fucha's hands that were trembling slightly due to panic and comforted: "Eniang, why don't you go back and persuade Lan'er again." ”
"E-Niang who can persuade has been persuaded, but she just won't listen, Ruo'er ......" Fucha looked at her in embarrassment, "E-Niang has a sentence, I don't know whether to say it or not?" ”
"E-niang, but it doesn't hurt to say." She said, but there was a faint resistance to Fucha's next words in her heart.
