Whether the weather is good or not is up to anyone, but the atmosphere in this sunny city is indeed different from the past.

The next day, Ruan Qingzhi and his group all got up late, and when they went downstairs for breakfast, they heard a lot of discussion in the inn, and two of the three tables were talking about the real and fake phoenix.

Of course, the news of Yangcheng is not closed. The exchange of merchants also means that the news is transmitted, although it is later than the first-hand news of Ruan Qingzhi and his party, but two days late is already the limit.

Therefore, "Yesterday's little girl's crazy words" had just spread and it was partially confirmed, and the entire Yangcheng instantly boiled.

That little girl didn't lie! It's true that the mother of the Prime Minister's house hanged herself! The battle between true and false phoenixes is real! It's also true that Miss Ruan was kidnapped by bandits!

In this case, is it possible that His Royal Highness King Li is still alive? Is it true that Miss Ruan chose His Royal Highness King Li?

That little girl knows so much, of course she can be trusted!

Yangcheng people originally loved to be lively, but now that there is such a shocking topic, the streets are of course even more crowded. In the garden and in the market, there are people talking everywhere, and even the excitement of the Hibiscus Flower Festival has been suppressed.

Ruan Qingzhi sat in the corner, looking at Ye Han with bright eyes: "You say, is this situation good now?" ”

Ye Han pinched the spoon and added a spoonful of soup to her bowl, with a faint smile: "It's better to have someone talk about it than no one to talk about it." However, those people in Beijing will not be reconciled. ”

"It doesn't matter if they are unwilling," Ruan Qingzhi said seriously, "You are right, it is better for someone to talk about it than not to talk about it." If they are unwilling, then they have to think of ideas to refute us, so they still have to discuss. In any case, we can't afford to lose. ”

Chu Weiyang tapped the edge of the bowl with a small spoon and quickly continued: "Not bad, not bad!" It's called 'those who are barefoot are not afraid to wear shoes'! ”

Ye Han listened to the discussion at the adjacent table, and said with a smile: "I don't know if I'm barefoot, no matter what, now 'Li Wang Linghan' is no longer a dead person, and 'Miss Ruan' is no longer a shadow that no one sees." Even if they wanted to refute and pour dirty water on us, the people had already noticed the two of us. ”

"Yes," Ruan Qingzhi smiled crookedly, "Since we have appeared in the eyes of the people, if they want to wipe us out, then we will not think about it!" ”

Ye Han nodded with a smile, looking at her little girl's eyes that were smiling like little foxes, and felt that she was right no matter what she said.

"What is it?" Chu Weiyang was very anxious beside him, "Ling Laosan, I admit that your little daughter-in-law is quite smart, but you don't think that you can sit back and relax in this way, right?" Don't forget how insidious and vicious your family Ling Lao Si is! If you're not careful, he can turn your good name into bad name! ”

It took some effort for Ye Han to take his eyes off Ruan Qingzhi and look at Chu Weiyang with disgust: "Don't be alarmist!" Turn my good name into notoriety? If he could do it, why did he bother to send someone to kill me in the first place! If he wants to slander me, he should also ask the 200,000 soldiers on the northwest border whether they will agree, and the tens of millions of people in the seven northern provinces whether they will agree! ”

Chu Weiyang was stunned by what he said, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, and then he suddenly laughed: "Akan, I've known you for almost twenty years, and it's the first time I've heard you brag so much!" What are you...... A hero in front of your daughter-in-law? Don't you want to lose face at all? ”

Ye Han didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his words, but when Chu Weiyang said this at the moment, it seemed that it was really like that.

So, in Chu Weiyang's hearty laughter, Ruan Qingzhi was surprised to find that Ye Han's face was slightly red.

"Hah!" Ruan Qingzhi couldn't help but be happy, "It turns out that you are really thin-skinned!" ”

Ye Han's eyes glared at the chopsticks and threw them, and he was about to get up with his sleeves: "I'm full, you use it slowly!" ”

"Don't!" Ruan Qingzhi saw that he was in a hurry, so he hurriedly got up and pounced: "It's just a joke, how can you do it if you don't eat!" I love to hear you brag, I love to see you heroic! Chu Weiyang, he is an old bachelor, he doesn't know how to coax girls, he is jealous of you, what are you doing with him? ”

Ye Han thought about it and felt that she was right, so he turned around and sat back down.

Chu Weiyang watched this scene the whole time, and a spoonful of thick and fragrant rice porridge in his hand was delivered to his mouth, but he couldn't swallow it anymore.

To be honest, it's heart-wrenching.

I can't figure out why it's always him who gets hurt. He's going to have a meal and provoke whom?

Here Chu Gongzi looked up to himself and began to doubt his life, and over there, His Royal Highness King Li, Miss Ruan, peeked at the other party while eating, and he was greasy and crooked, and he ate breakfast until it was close to noon.

At noon, the enthusiasm of the people of Yangcheng for those major events continued unabated, and many rumors of unknown origin flew all over the sky.

Some people vividly restored the whole process of Miss Ruan Er's murder of her mother, some people vividly imitated the scene of Miss Ruan painting a young phoenix volleying in the sky at the palace banquet, some people tearfully described the tragic night battle in which His Royal Highness King Li was deceived into the trap of Luoyun Mountain, and some people analyzed the causes and consequences of Wang You, the deputy general of the Northwest Army, suing the emperor......

It was as if a little spark had suddenly splashed into a barrel of explosives, and all the news that no one had paid attention to and was not worth mentioning at all exploded on this day.

Yangcheng seems to be a festival, every teahouse and wine shop is overcrowded, and every storyteller is foaming at the mouth. Many good deeds sit in the teahouse all day, and there is no new news in their ears all day.

The people couldn't believe it: after a distance of two or three hundred miles, the people of Shangjing had hidden so many important things from them before!

- Nanqi, it's going to change!

In the midst of this festive bustle, the hero of the story shrank in the room of the inn, bored: "I wouldn't have told them if I had known!" Now the streets are talking about us, and I don't dare to go out! ”

Ye Han pushed the door and walked in, with a smile in the corner of his eyes: "Why don't you go out?" As long as you don't shout around, no one will know that you are the real Phoenix Miss Ruan. ”

"But," Ruan Qingzhi looked up at him, "I'm used to being scolded, and now suddenly so many people are praising me, how embarrassed I am!" ”

Chu Weiyang, who walked by the door, slipped under his feet and almost fell.

There is really no reason in this world! That Miss Ruan, whose skin is thicker than the city wall, has learned to be embarrassed!

She was so embarrassed to say such shameless words without changing her face!

Of course, it turned out that Ruan Qingzhi was very embarrassed to say it, and Ye Han was also very embarrassed to hear it, and no one felt that there was anything wrong with this sentence.

So the two of them sat together, Ruan Qingzhi sighed, and Ye Han also sighed.

Then Ruan Qingzhi instantly bounced: "I sighed because I couldn't go out to play, why are you sighing?" ”

Ye Han hesitated for a moment, pulled her two hands over and grabbed them, and continued to sigh.

Ruan Qingzhi looked up at him and blinked: "So embarrassed? Could it be that you want to take a concubine, so it's hard to tell me? ”

Ye Han rolled his eyes indecently, the little hesitation in his heart disappeared in an instant, and he casually dragged the little girl with a not very normal brain up: "Your nurse's family has been found, you can go and meet me with me!" ”

The mischievous smile on Ruan Qingzhi's face disappeared in an instant.

Ye Han clenched her hand, and her expression returned to solemnity: "At first, the people who came to Beijing were the first to find out the news, and our spies found out and got rid of the other party. Now that your nurse's family has been relocated to a proper place, you can see them whenever you want. ”

"Then for now," Ruan Qingzhi withdrew his hand and sat down in front of the dressing table, "Summoning Yun to come in and help me make up." ”

Ye Han naturally did not object. It's just that when Ruan Qingzhi was dressing up, he somehow kept looking preoccupied, looking at Ruan Qingzhi's face from the mirror, his eyes didn't blink.

Ruan Qingzhi had doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask much. It wasn't until he went out and got into the carriage that Ye Han couldn't help but say: "It's all old, don't be sad......"

"I'm not sad," Ruan Qingzhi looked at him with some puzzlement, "What's so sad?" ”

Ye Han was dumbfounded for a while, and after a while, he shook his head helplessly, feeling a little uncomfortable.

He had forgotten that this little girl was the most cold-hearted. The mother who has never met, the brother who has never met, and the nurse who has been dead for many years, it is enough to cry for a few days if she casually mentions one of them, but I am afraid that she will not even earn a tear here.

How can there be such a cold-hearted person in the world? Ye Han was puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he had to worry in his heart.

All the way to the destination, Ye Han suddenly found himself worried.

The carriage stopped in front of an inconspicuous courtyard, and a little girl of fourteen or fifteen peeked out of the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi lifted the curtain and saw that tears broke the embankment instantly.

Ye Han suddenly made a fuss, and while handing her the handkerchief, he waved his hand and told the little girl to go away, while still hesitating whether to let the coachman return directly.

Fortunately, Ruan Qingzhi immediately calmed down.

Before Ye Han came back to her senses, she threw away the veil, jumped out of the carriage and ran over to meet the little girl: "Are you Sister Chunni?" ”

The little girl was stunned for a moment, and looked at her suspiciously: "Who are you?" How do you know my name? ”

Ruan Qingzhi hesitated for a moment, and didn't know how to answer for a while, and a man in his forties walked out of the courtyard: "You are ...... Coming to Beijing? ”

"Yes," Ye Han said in a deep voice, "I went to the Ruan family in Beijing, I have something to ask." ”

The man was startled and hurriedly said please.

So the four of them entered the door all the way, and the man asked as he walked, "Are the two of you the eldest lady of the Ruan family?" Our house was burglarized last night, thanks to your timely arrival. ”

Ruan Qingzhi turned her head to look at Ye Han, and the latter explained to her: "This time, Ruan Bijun didn't plan to interrogate, and wanted to kill her mouth directly. Uncle Lin and his family were frightened a lot last night, but fortunately, our people are not slow. ”

Ruan Qingzhi patted his chest, and his heart palpitated.

The man, Uncle Lin, said honestly: "This little fright is nothing. If we were to talk about fright, we had it six years ago. ”

While talking, the four of them entered the room and sat down, Uncle Lin rubbed his hands a little embarrassed: "Look, we haven't cleaned up here yet......"

Ye Han waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and helped Ruan Qingzhi to sit down together.

A clever little girl brought tea, and Ruan Qingzhi realized that the family's life was actually very good.

She couldn't think of anything to beat around the bush, so as soon as she opened her mouth, she said directly: "I want to know what happened fourteen years ago, Uncle Lin, is it inconvenient for you to tell me?" ”

Uncle Lin's face changed slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he showed a simple smile: "What the girl said was Chunni's mother going to Ruan's house to be a nurse?" At that time, my family was poor and couldn't open the pot, so I ruthlessly let her go out to earn some food and drink, which is nothing to say. ”

Ruan Qingzhi shook his head, pondered the words for a while, and got up to salute again: "Grandma, I am Qingzhi, the daughter of the Ruan family, the one who grew up eating the milk of your Aunt Lin." ”

"Ouch, Miss!" Uncle Lin was taken aback, and hurriedly got up to salute, and was about to call Chunni to come and kowtow.

Ruan Qingzhi hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, let Ye Han sit down according to him, and then sighed gloomily: "I was still young when the accident happened six years ago, and it was not my turn to ask about the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so I have never apologized to Uncle Lin and Sister Chunni in person......

"Miss, don't say that!" Uncle Lin was so nervous that he stood up again, "I can't blame you for this matter!" If it weren't for the Ruan family who gave us a large sum of money to settle down, my two children and I would have starved to death a long time ago. Although Chunni and her mother ...... It's been a little hard, but it's been a good life for eight years, and our family is only grateful to you. ”

Ruan Qingzhi said gloomily: "It's a pity that Aunt Lin followed me and didn't have a good life. ”

Uncle Lin's expression suddenly darkened when he heard this, and the atmosphere in the hall was immediately a little depressed.

It was Lin Chunni who sighed: "It turns out that you are the Miss Ruan family." My mother always said hello when she was alive. ”

Ruan Qingzhi looked up at her and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, Aunt Lin often tells me how her daughter is good, and I can only see it today!" ”

Uncle Lin smiled, pulled his sleeves and wiped the corners of his eyes: "What does the eldest lady want to ask?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I want to ask, how did my mother die?" Is my twin brother still alive? Fourteen years ago, how much filth was hidden in the Ruan family's outer house...... I want to hear as much you know as much as you know. ”

Uncle Lin's face immediately sank again.

Ruan Qingzhi looked at him with a sincere expression, but he didn't have any confidence in his heart.

After sitting in silence for a long time, Uncle Lin waved his hand away from Chunni and let out a long sigh: "Fourteen years ago, Chen Sesame was rotten in the grain, why should the eldest lady know!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi smiled bitterly: "It's not that I want to know, but others are afraid that I know." Uncle Lin, if you tell me those secrets today, you will be safe. If you don't say anything, my sister won't let you go. ”

"Silence?" Uncle Lin also responded with a wry smile.

Ruan Qingzhi nodded, and added: "And those things are not Chen Sesame rotten grains for me. My grandmother and I wanted to know the truth. ”

Uncle Lin nodded in understanding, thought sullenly for a while, raised his hand and rubbed it on his face, and sighed: "The eldest lady already knows that you have a twin brother?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi replied yes, and added: "I only heard about it the day before yesterday." ”

Uncle Lin sighed again when he heard this, raised his hand and touched the cigarette stick on the corner of the table, then retracted his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Since the eldest lady knows about this matter, I'm afraid I already know about other things." You're going to ask about what happened that night, right? ”

Ruan Qingzhi nodded and admitted: "I know that is not a good thing, and I know that that it is related to human life." Aunt Lin is not a mouthy person, but such a big thing, I guess she will probably mention it to you. ”

"Yes," Uncle Lin didn't beat around the bush, "she did mention something. I don't know if it's true or not, it's been all these years, and I don't know if I remember it or not. I'll just say casually, Miss, just listen to it. ”

Ruan Qingzhi agreed with a heavy heart, and then listened to him say:

"At that time, the Ruan family was not the prime minister's house, and I didn't say what kind of official it was, only that the wife of a big family was looking for two nurses. We didn't have anything to eat at home, so Chunni and her mother went without me. ”

Chun Ni Niang said that when she went in, she felt that the family was not bad. Hello old man, although Madame is mean, it is not a big evil. ”

"Then I felt that it was wrong. That day, Mrs. was not yet born, and she saw that the house had invited a doctor again, so she wanted to go over and ask if there were any taboos or something, but she didn't expect to bump into Mrs. Discussing things with the girl next to her, saying that she was going to give birth to someone. ”

"At first, Chun Ni Niang didn't understand, but that night I heard that the eldest lady in the house was coming. At that time, she knew that the original 'lady' was a wild woman secretly raised by the master outside, and the one who broke in later was the one who was married by Ming Media, and she was about to give birth with a big belly. ”

"That night I heard that there was a lot of noise, and the old man rushed back from outside to beat the lady of the main house, and the lady fell to the threshold, and she was red at that time. The doctor said that the child was less than a month old, and he was afraid that it would not be easy to give birth. I found several midwives to serve before and after, but they refused to come, and finally asked the midwives prepared by the wild lady to help. ”

"Later, for some reason, he said that he was going to give birth over there, and both sides were busy, so the old man refused to come to the side of the lady in the main room, and only guarded the one outside him."

"Mrs. Zhengfang gave birth to a boy first, and I don't know what she thinks, so she handed it over to a mother-in-law and took it out, and then Chun Niniang never saw the child again, and she didn't dare to ask."

"Half an hour later, a second one was born, a girl. The lady was almost dead at this time, there was no girl and no woman around, and the midwife and the doctor also ran to the other side. The lady couldn't shout, and it was obvious that the old man deliberately wanted her to die. ”

Madame looked around the room and saw Chun Ni Niang standing alone in the corner. She beckoned to Chun Ni Niang to call over, took out a few silver tickets from her sleeves, and gave Chun Ni Niang the jade plates, hairpins, purses, and everything she carried, saying that these things were worth hundreds of taels of silver, and she didn't ask for anything else, just begged to feed the little girl. ”

He spoke staggeringly, and his speech was so fast that it rang in people's ears.

Ruan Qingzhi held his breath and didn't dare to interject, until he heard this, he spit out that breath, and suddenly felt a little sour in his heart.

Uncle Lin himself stopped and wiped the corners of his eyes, and then continued:

Chun Ni Niang doesn't understand the affairs of those big families, so she thinks that what happens to the child is also a life. Seeing that the lady swallowed her breath, she took the girl and went to see the master, and did not mention anything beside her, only that the lady left a girl and left. ”

The old man didn't shed a single tear, and he didn't look at the child, so he said let it go. Chun Niniang refused, so she said that the child was afraid of the cold and had to be held in his arms, and the master didn't care. After one night, the next day, the lady of the outer chamber also gave birth, and said to the outside that she had given birth to two girls. Chun Niniang was relieved when she heard that sentence, knowing that the child's life had been saved. ”

Later, the wild lady outside was taken back to the mansion to correct her identity, and there was an accident in three days. It took many days for Chunni Niang to know that the woman had not given up, and she was still trying to kill the child. So all the years to come, that kid...... Miss, it's not easy for you to live! ”

Ruan Qingzhi wiped her tears and sighed: "That can feed me, it's really not easy for Aunt Lin." ”

The two wept for a long time, Uncle Lin coughed twice in embarrassment, touched a cigarette stick, and put it down again.

Ye Han suddenly asked, "Aunt Lin said that the boy was sent away?" But Mrs. Luan said that she had seen the dead baby boy, do you know what was going on? ”

Uncle Lin glanced at him suspiciously, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it", and then added: "Chunniniang only said that the boy was taken away by her mother-in-law, and didn't say anything else." ”

Ye Han looked at Ruan Qingzhi and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi was silent for a long time, leaned on his shoulder, gritted his teeth and said, "I hope Ruan Wenzhong is not so mad as to strangle his own son to show his mother-in-law." ”

Uncle Lin hurriedly said: "Maybe the old man didn't know that he gave birth to a son, he just didn't want the Yue family to know that the eldest lady was born by Mrs. Zhengfang, so he got a dead child from elsewhere to deceive him?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi thought about it carefully, and felt that only this statement could barely be justified.

But even so, a man who connived at the outer room to force his wife to death was enough to deserve to die.

Kim, of course, deserves to die, too. She deliberately asked her subordinates to pass the news to Luan Yuniang, and led people to the outer house to quarrel and quarrel, causing Luan Yuniang to be injured and give birth prematurely.

Now that the Jin family is dead, Ruan Qingzhi can only find Ruan Wenzhong if he wants to settle this account.

Thinking of the father who called her "evil barrier" at every turn and wanted to beat and kill, Ruan Qingzhi's expression became colder: "I thought he was deceived by the Jin family, but now it seems that he ......"

"Qingzhi," Ye Han saw that her face was gloomy and frightening, and she couldn't help but worry: "Don't be busy getting angry and sad first, the most important thing now is to find a way to find a way to inquire about your brother's news." ”

Ruan Qingzhi didn't look up, his hands trembled: "It's been so long, and there are no clues, how can you inquire?" ”
