Chapter 39: The reputation is ruined
The morning breeze is slightly cool.
Rong Rongci put on a coat and stood under the eaves of the Chaolu Palace, with a faint expression.
After a while, Fran walked over, and there was no one nearby, but she still lowered her voice: "I went to the pawnshop and asked, and the Xiwan people really decided that the people who did it were those two Dayu people." ”
Rong Rongci frowned slightly: "The people I killed with hairpins, they also believe that the two men are murderers?" ”
"It seems that the letter of a high-ranking official in Dayu was found in the inn, and the Xiwan people sent someone to check it, and the letter is definitely not a forgery."
Rong Wangci nodded, she didn't doubt this, with Su Zhi's caution, as long as he was sure that it was a true letter, there would be no fake, not to mention that this matter was indeed the idea of the Dayu people, and it was not strange to have a few letters.
It's just that who put this kind of top-secret letter in the inn? She searched the inn, but there was no suspicious evidence.
How did they get this epistle?
Seeing Rong Rong's words twisting his eyebrows, Fran said again: "Princess, this matter is over, and what matters now is the matter of visiting relatives in the afternoon." ”
Rong Rongci's brows tightened a little tighter, and he nodded slowly, but he still couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, I hope it's really over......"
Fran originally looked depressed, but after Rong Elegy finished speaking, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her tone was excited: "By the way, Princess, there is another good news!" ”
Rong Rongci slowly came back to his senses: "What good news?" ”
"It's Ma Linglong's business, I went out today, but somehow, her troubles yesterday have spread all over the imperial city, and they are talking everywhere, saying that she will not be able to marry in the future."
Rong Rongci smiled indifferently, but there was no smile in his eyes.
According to Rong Rong's original assumption, Ma Linglong should have just fallen into the water and was frightened yesterday, giving her a lesson, she neither wanted Ma Linglong's life, nor did she want to insult her innocence.
However, Ma Linglong had other thoughts, changed her clothes, and wore extremely light clothes, which was really not decent, and as soon as she fell into the water, she was even more exposed, and so many guards present saw it, and she was afraid that her innocence would be ruined.
Rong Rongci sighed: It's her own fault.
Fran was only happy for a moment, and then her brows furrowed again, and when she thought of the events of the afternoon, she felt uneasy in her heart, and her hands and feet were a little cold.
The master and servant glanced at each other, but a thought suddenly flashed in Rong Rongci's mind, and he opened his mouth first: "You said yesterday that the messengers who came to worship are all unfamiliar faces, right?" ”
Fran nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I'm sure." ”
After speaking, he shook his head again: "No, I only have that moment, if someone happens to go out to the toilet at that time, then I won't see it." ”
Rong Rong's eyes were still a little bright: "Fran, don't you think it's strange? Obviously he came to pay a visit, but Nan Rong sent some people we didn't know, one or two, and there was not a single familiar face among the more than ten people? ”
When Fran heard this, her mind turned around, and after thinking for a long time, her eyes finally brightened: "It may be that Master Moon Occultation arranged it for us!" ”
Rong Wangci nodded, and her heart suddenly felt stable, but what she didn't know was that among the people sent by Nan Rong this time, there was actually an acquaintance.
In just a day and a half, the minds of the people in the imperial city have shifted from the matter of the Nanrong mission to the matter of Ma Linglong.
After getting the news, Ma Linglong made trouble in the house for a long time, almost smashed everything that could be smashed in the room, and after losing her temper, there was still no solution to the matter, so she was left to sit on the ground and cry bitterly.
After crying for a long time, Ma Linglong's voice was already hoarse, and the wailing was a little quieter.
Taking advantage of this gap, the maid who served cowered and approached Ma Linglong and wiped a handful of tears: "Miss, the slave maid feels strange when she thinks about this matter, the slave maid obviously heard the news that the regent went to Broken Jade Lake, how could anyone push you?" ”
"You ask me, I ask who goes? Whining... What's the use of saying it now, I've become the laughing stock of everyone in the Imperial City... Woohoo......"
Seeing that Ma Linglong was about to cry again, the maid hurriedly said: "Miss, the matter has come to this, it's useless to cry now, the slave maid thought, Miss is just afraid that someone has calculated..."
Ma Linglong stopped crying slightly: "What, what calculation? ”
The maid only looked at Ma Linglong and didn't speak, Ma Linglong herself went through the events of last night in her mind, and suddenly said, "Is it the princess regent?!" ”
The maid nodded: "The slave maid thinks it should be the princess regent, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, the princess's maid is looking for things everywhere, noisy and shouting, and it is so coincidental that the maid heard your cry for help." ”
Ma Linglong gritted her teeth, and after a while, she frowned again: "No, why does the princess regent want to harm me?" She never knew I wanted to marry the Regent, and she didn't hear what we said, so why did she want to hurt me for no reason? ”
The maid also scratched her head: "Xu is...... Did she hear you? ”
Ma Linglong shook her head again: "That's not even better, she can have a seizure on the spot, even if she has to attack me behind her back, but why should she let her maid bring someone to save me?" ”
The maid blurted out without thinking: "Then she must be trying to ruin your reputation!" ”
Ma Linglong's expression changed when she heard this, and she raised her hand and slapped the maid: "Are you embarrassed to say?!" If you hadn't asked me to change into that outfit, would I have been seen by the guards? If the princess is really for this, then you are an accomplice!! ”
The maid covered her face with a hot red, shrunk back, and cried: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare!" ”
Seeing that Ma Linglong was still staring at herself viciously, the maid was short of breath, and when she was frightened, she had to plant someone casually: "It must be the adopted daughter of Taichang Siqing, Li Anran!" Right! It must be her! ”
Seeing that Ma Linglong's expression remained unchanged, the maid knelt on the ground and eagerly dragged her knees forward: "She must have held a grudge after last night's dispute, so she managed to lure you to the Broken Jade Lake, Miss, and pushed you down!" ”
Ma Linglong was not a smart and clever person, she was extremely angry at the moment, and the reason why she subconsciously didn't believe that it was an elegy was more or less because she was afraid of this smiling but powerful princess.
When the maid pointed the finger at Li Anran, who was already at odds with her and had a similar status to her, the resentment and unwillingness in Ma Linglong's heart had a place to vent.
Ma Linglong, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up with the careful support of the maid, patted the dust on her body, and looked resentful.
"Hmph, Li Anran! I'm going to make you as ruined as I am!" ”
