Ye Han instantly turned his back and quickly put on his mask as if he were juggling, and then squatted down and motioned for Ruan Qingzhi to get off his back.

Ruan Qingzhi hugged his neck and refused to let go, dragging his crying voice and shouting to Ruan Wenzhong: "Dad! Can I not come down? My feet hurt! ”

Ruan Wenzhong stood up with a gust of wind: "You still have a sore face and feet!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi wiped a handful of tears and continued to cry: "My face hurts too!" It's windy in the mountains! Father, my daughter almost won't be able to come back alive to be filial to you! ”

Ruan Wenzhong held a horsewhip in his hand, and stood with a cold face without speaking.

Ruan Qingzhi finally slipped off Ye Han's back and knelt on the ground: "Father, I didn't know that you loved me so much!" I didn't come home all night, and you didn't sleep all night? Can...... Even if you don't sleep, you should rest in the house, how can you blow a cold breeze under the porch? It's not worth it for my daughter to freeze to death outside, in case my father catches the cold for me, how can my daughter be happy! ”

The more she cried, the louder and more sincere her feelings became, which made Ruan Wenzhong a little overwhelmed, and the whip in her hand subconsciously hid behind her.

Tie Qing's face was not easy to change for a while, so he had to snort coldly and scolded angrily: "Do you still know that you are afraid that your family will worry? I thought you were just climbing the dragon and the phoenix by yourself, regardless of whether your father and grandmother lived or died! ”

"My daughter doesn't dare!" Ruan Qingzhi cried and kowtowed, "My daughter got lost in the valley and couldn't get out, and she kept blaming herself in her heart, afraid that her grandmother and father would be worried...... Father, your daughter's life is not worth anything, even if you are not at ease, just send a few minions out to look for it, how can you wait outside all night? This...... How can my daughter repay her! ”

"That's it!" Ruan Van Trung scolded impatiently, "Don't cry! It's your fate if you don't die this time, go see your grandmother again at dawn, let her rest assured! ”

Ruan Qingzhi respectfully agreed, and couldn't stop sobbing, looking so moved that she cried bitterly.

Ruan Wenzhong couldn't see anything on her face, so she had to ask in a deep voice: "Why did you get lost in the mountains when you went down to play with His Royal Highness King Rui?" Why did you get this ghost again? Where is Your Highness now?! ”

Ruan Qingzhi asked, and wiped it on his face again: "His Royal Highness King Rui, he ...... me"

Ye Han suddenly slammed her back.

Ruan Qingzhi didn't understand what was going on in his heart, and the words had already turned quickly: "His Royal Highness King Rui suddenly has an urgent matter to leave, I am greedy for the scenery in the valley and want to see it for a while, but I didn't expect the trees in the forest to grow messy, and I got lost after walking for a long time!" ”

Ruan Wenzhong stared at her for a while, and his face seemed to soften: "So you haven't actually traveled with His Highness for a long time?" ”

"No, I just got off the carriage and didn't enter the valley yet, and the people from the Rui Wangfu came here!" Ruan Qingzhi replied quickly, and his voice seemed to be a little aggrieved.

After saying this, she could clearly feel that Ruan Wenzhong breathed a long sigh of relief, and the whole person instantly relaxed.

"There is no best!" He said coldly, "Otherwise, my father will not spare you!" You're not too small now, you should act in a measured way! Your Highness is going to marry your sister in the future, what's the matter if you go out with him? Even if Your Highness doesn't look down on you, it won't look good in the eyes of outsiders! Remember, if there is a next time for this kind of thing, I will break your legs! ”

Ruan Qingzhi bowed her head and replied aggrievedly, "My daughter doesn't dare."

Ruan Wenzhong snorted coldly and shook the horse whip in his hand: "Go to the ancestral hall after dawn, kneel for three days and then come out!" No eating! ”

"I can't go!" Ruan Qingzhi immediately raised his head and said hurriedly.

Ruan Van Chung's face immediately sank.

Ruan Qingzhi hurriedly took two steps forward, looked at him and said, "Father, I went out with King Rui before, and everyone in the mansion knows about it!" Now that I don't come back until midnight, and then I'm immediately punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall, what will others think? Those idlers have the worst mouths, will they say that I am with King Rui...... What did you do to upset your father? I'm not afraid of gossip, but I'm afraid that if something bad gets to my sister's ears, she won't be sad and angry, and will she think that my father instructed me......"

Before she could finish speaking, Ruan Wenzhong was already furious: "What nonsense! What can the Father instruct you?! ”

Ruan Qingzhi said confidently: "Of course my father won't tell me anything, but I can't stop others from being careful!" After all, many people in the house privately say that I am more beautiful than my sister, in case my sister thinks that her father can't trust her and wants to use me to entrap His Royal Highness King Rui...... Isn't this just letting our own relatives have a dislike between each other! ”

Ruan Wenzhong looked at her with a dark face for a long time, so angry that he couldn't speak.

Ruan Qingzhi wiped away his tears and said: "Father, people's words are terrifying, you can punish your daughter whenever you want, now the reputation of the Prime Minister's Mansion is important, and the relationship between my sister and His Royal Highness King Rui is important!" ”

Ruan Wenzhong was so angry that he whipped the pillar fiercely, and asked sharply: "Then you say, how should this matter end?!" ”

"Don't do anything!" Ruan Qingzhi said with a straight face, "After dawn, I will clean myself up and go to see my grandmother as if nothing happened, and my father doesn't have to mention today's events again, as if I have never traveled with His Royal Highness King Rui." ”

"Wouldn't that be cheaper for you!" Ruan Wenzhong snorted heavily, raised the whip again, and smashed the bush of chrysanthemums next to him: "If you don't go to the ancestral hall, you will kneel in your own courtyard!" Kneel for three days! ”

This time, Ruan Qingzhi couldn't find a reason to quibble, so he had to bow his head and say yes, and said, "Congratulations to my father!" ”

Ruan Van Trung flicked his whip and walked out hatefully, relieved.

As soon as he left, Ruan Qingzhi immediately stretched out his hands to Ye Han: "Pick me up!" ”

Ye Han was about to help her up, but she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when she heard the word "hug", and then really bent down and hugged her.

Ruan Qingzhi leaned comfortably against his chest, and did not forget to complain: "I have never seen you as a slave like this!" Your master and I are kneeling, but you stand aside and watch the excitement, and you don't kneel with me! ”

Ye Han said lightly: "You don't have to kneel next time." ”

Ruan Qingzhi pursed his lips and was angry: "If I don't kneel, he will have even more reason to clean me up!" Didn't you see him like that at first? He clearly wanted to kill me directly! If I hadn't been smart...... Hum! ”

"Yes, you're the smartest." Ye Han smiled hoarsely and carried her up the stone steps.

Ruan Qingzhi suddenly grabbed him by the collar and asked, "What did you mean when you hit me before?" ”

Ye Han explained: "Now that Ruan Xiang is with King Rui all the way, you can't let him think that King Rui wants to kill you." ”

At this point, Ruan Qingzhi immediately understood: "Otherwise, he will not dare to bother King Rui to do this little thing of killing a daughter, he can come by himself?" ”

Ye Han stepped into the door and sighed: "Don't be sad. ”

"I'm not sad!" Ruan Qingzhi grinned at him, "Ye Han, I found you very smart, it's great to have you here!" ”

Ye Han suddenly let go.

Ruan Qingzhi screamed in fright, only to find that he had landed on the soft couch safe and sound.

The four eyes of the two people in front of them with Yun and the moon were round, which was strange and scary.

Ruan Qingzhi immediately turned over and sat up: "You two, you won't just wait for me for a night, right?" ”

"What do you say?" Companion Moon asked faintly.

Ruan Qingzhi had a weak heart, laughed twice, and then raised his head and glared at Ye Han: "I said that I should think of another way to come back early!" Look at now, you're tired enough this night, and these two girls are worried at home! ”

Ye Han lowered his head and smiled, his attitude was very sincere: "Yes." It's all my fault. ”

Ban Yue's face darkened instantly, and she grabbed him by the collar on tiptoe and pushed it out: "You get out of here!" ”

"Tear down the bridge after crossing the river?" Ye Han protested while retreating, but he was still honestly pushed out by her.

Xianyun came over to untie Ruan Qingzhi's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Banyue boiled a lot of water, you can wash it first." ”

Ruan Qingzhi kicked away the dirty skirt and stretched: "You guys are so good!" Who told you that I was going to bathe as soon as I returned? I tell you, there are so many worms in that mountain! It scared me into a cold sweat......"

Xieyun didn't say a word, until she had washed and dried her hair, and then asked in a low voice, "Do you want that clothes?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi was stunned for a moment: "Can you throw away new clothes if they are dirty?" Are we already that rich? ”

After saying that, he laughed.

Xianyun didn't smile, lowered his head and whispered, "Got it, I'll wash it." ”

Ruan Qingzhi frowned, seeing that the sky was gradually brightening, he had to find a clean thick clothes to wear, and ran to the yard to shout Ye Han: "What should I do?" I seem to have offended both girls, you have to help me coax them! ”

Ye Han didn't show up in his room, but with the moon suddenly running in from outside, panting and pale.

Ruan Qingzhi was taken aback: "What's the matter?" Is there a dog chasing you from behind? ”

Banyue shook her head and looked at her with wide eyes.

"You're talking!" Ruan Qingzhi jumped to his feet in a hurry, "What's wrong with you two yin and yang weirdness?" Didn't I just not come back all night and cause you to not sleep well? It's a big deal, I'll make amends, just buy you delicious food! ”

"The point is not that we haven't slept all night," Banyue's face was gloomy, and he had never been so serious in his life: "The point is what did you do this night?" With whom? ”

"It's cold with the night!" Ruan Qingzhi felt that this question was simply inexplicable.

Companion Moon jumped up with a bang: "I know you're with Yehan!" I also believe that you are with the night cold! But do you know what is being said out there now? ”

"What did you say?" Ruan Qingzhi looked up at the sky.

It's just dawn, the fog hasn't cleared yet, how many people can there be outside?

Banyue stomped her feet and said, "There are a lot of people!" Everyone in Beijing knows about it! Carrying water, pouring dung, selling vegetables, pulling carts, sweeping the streets, everyone knows that you went to Luoxia Mountain with His Royal Highness King Rui yesterday, and you didn't come back for a day and a night! Others said they saw you cuddling in the car! Now the whole city is saying that you are shameless, you will climb into bed at a young age, and you will rob your own sister's man! ”

"It turns out that he hit this idea." Ruan Qingzhi's face slowly sank.

Banyue said in a hurry, and the corners of her mouth were full of white foam: "Don't worry about what you have or not, you want to think about what to do?" In this way, the reputation will definitely be ruined! Later...... Who else will marry you? King Rui is still occupied by the second lady, we definitely don't have a chance to take the princess's position, if you can't get married, you can only go to him as a concubine! ”

Ruan Qingzhi leaned on the pillar with his hands and smiled angrily: "Yes, that's what she's for." I can't get married......"

If you can't get married, you can only find a small family to send it away, or make a concubine. In short, there is no need to count on the phoenix seal.

Ruan Qingzhi praised "good idea" in her heart, and admired her sister's scheming methods.

Ye Han heard the movement and walked over, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?" ”

Banyue jumped to his feet and said to him, and Ye Han gritted his teeth and scolded: "Next!" ”

"Yes, it's too low!" Ruan Qingzhi said hatefully: "No matter how incompatible Yun'er and I are, it is also a matter between our girls, he is a man, and he is still a prince, and he is actually involved in the affairs of other people's houses, it is really a bad work!" He still wants to be a prince at that point, he is a fart! If he really makes him a prince and an emperor in the future, will he also use this kind of subordinate means to govern the country? ”

Ye Leng snorted, "He can't do it", and then asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Ruan Qingzhi's face immediately collapsed.

What to do? Although this time it is not a matter of life and death, it is more difficult to do than the matter of life and death.

If the people don't know the truth, then find a way to let them know, and this truth is easy to figure out. However, how to make people believe and accept the truth is the biggest problem.

The mouth of the world!

Ruan Qingzhi was silent for a long time, and sighed: "I want to take Yun with the moon to walk on the street and cause some trouble, so as to prove that I have come back a long time ago." …… Or, just pretend it wasn't me who left the city yesterday. ”

Ye Han nodded. Ruan Qingzhi then sighed: "But I'm afraid it's useless to do this." The people love to listen to all kinds of secrets in the palace, so they don't want to listen to the dry and boring truth! ”

"It doesn't matter." Ye Han suddenly smiled, "You just go to the street, and you can make as much noise as you can." You are not in a hurry to get married tomorrow, and you don't need to be too anxious about this matter, you will see people's hearts over time. ”

Ruan Qingzhi thought for a while, and then laughed: "It's the same." ”

Rumors, the people love to spread it, let them spread it for a while, after a long time, there will always be a time to stop, and after a while, find a way to make them change.

Let's go!

An hour later, Ruan Qingzhi had already appeared on the busiest street in Shangjing.

Before I got out of the carriage, I heard a laugh not far away, which was very harsh: "This eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is really a blockbuster if she doesn't make a sound——"

As soon as Banyue heard this, she immediately became anxious, and she raised her foot to rush over to reason with someone.

Ruan Qingzhi grabbed her with a clear hand, and said coldly: "In this way, we have to theorize, are we going to kill a river of blood on this street today?" ”

With the moon bowing her head stupidly and no longer speaking, the three of the master and servant held hands and entered a jewelry shop called "Linlangju".

Ruan Qingzhi inquired, this is the favorite place of those ladies and ladies in Shangjing who are idle and have toothaches. There are many idlers in many places, and it is most appropriate to come to this kind of place to cause trouble.

It's just that she didn't expect her luck to be so good, and she actually bumped into an acquaintance as soon as she entered the door.

Before he could stand firmly, an exclamation sounded in his ears: "Yo, isn't this our famous Miss Ruan who went to Beijing!" ”

The sound of the voice alarmed the people in the store, and even the pedestrians on the road rushed in.

Ruan Qingzhi took two steps back and stood firm, smiling calmly: "Sister Yao, I haven't seen you for many days." ”

Wang Yuyao shook her neck, and smiled without smiling: "Don't recognize your relatives, we don't dare to be your 'sister'!" By the way, Miss Ruan, how did you have time to go to the street today? Are you not at home waiting for the sedan chair of Rui Wangfu to pick you up? ”

In two sentences, there were already several circles of people around the three layers inside and three layers outside, pointing and saying anything.

Ruan Qingzhi seemed to be frightened, her face turned pale and she retreated again and again: "Fourth Sister Wang, what are you talking about?" What Rui Wangfu? The person His Royal Highness Rui wants to marry is my sister! ”

"I know!" Wang Yuyao looked disdainful, "The person His Royal Highness King Rui intends to marry is indeed your sister, but didn't you climb into bed first!" Your Royal Highness is a righteous gentleman who can't do things that you can't start and abandon, so you have to take a small sedan chair to carry you into the door to be a concubine, why aren't you waiting at home? ”

Before she finished her words, Ruan Qingzhi's tears had already fallen, and she grabbed Banyue's sleeve and began to cry: "Sister Banyue, what did she mean by that?" How can I not understand...... Is she scolding me? ”

"Don't pretend!" Wang Yuyao pointed at her nose and sneered, "Your little tricks, now the whole city knows about it!" Ruan Qingzhi, the man who robbed his sister is very glorious, isn't it? I really admire you, at such a young age, tsk, the means are amazing! Everyone else waits until after Ji Lu to get married, you-when you get to Ji Lu, the illegitimate children should have landed, right? You're in a hurry! ”

Before she could finish speaking, a little girl next to her immediately answered: "Sister Yao, this is the Miss Ruan you told us?" It's not very ugly to look at, why is it that no one wants it, forcing her to rush to be a concubine for her future brother-in-law? Eh, if she enters the door in the future, what will the two sisters call her? ”

The little girls giggled and laughed, pointing and poking, and their long nails were about to scratch Ruan Qingzhi's face.

The people around him gathered more and more, and the Linlangju was blocked.

Ruan Qingzhi heard that everything was almost discussed, and those who didn't know what was going on also knew it, so he wiped his tears and raised his head: "Fourth Sister Wang." ”

Wang Yuyao made eye contact with her, instinctively shrank back, and then became angry: "What, you still want to use your peach blossom eyes to hook me?" I'm not a man—"

There was a crisp sound of "pop", and Ruan Qingzhi slapped Wang Yuyao's face, cutting off the end of the last sentence.

Wang Yuyao screamed like crazy, and was about to pounce and beat with her teeth and claws.

Ruan Qingzhi quickly crashed into the crowd and screamed: "Wang Yuyao, why are you scolding me in a good manner?" What enmity do I have against you...... Yes, I have offended you! I didn't have the eyes to save the sister of the Liu family who you wanted to kill......"

"What did you say?!" Wang Yuyao's face changed greatly.

Ruan Qingzhi ignored her and continued to shout: "...... But you don't need to fight me every time you see me, do you? I was also kind and wanted to save you! Do you think you don't know what you're doing? Let me tell you, if Third Sister Liu drowns, the people of the Guogong Mansion will definitely skin you! ”

Wang Yuyao stood in place with a pale face, and had long forgotten to chase Ruan Qingzhi.

Pushing Liu Jiaojiao into the water, she thought no one knew. Didn't Liu Jiaojiao admit that she had fallen into the water?

The onlookers were also a little confused, and they didn't understand how the topic suddenly jumped from the Fengyue case to the homicide case. Is the life of the daughters so exciting these years?

Ruan Qingzhi took advantage of Wang Yuyao's failure to come back to his senses, and then cried loudly: "What did you mean by what you said just now? What are you doing to get me and His Royal Highness King Rui together? You didn't calculate me yesterday and didn't take my life, that's because you yourself don't have the ability, what's the matter with scolding me? ”

The little girl who spoke before quickly asked, "What did we calculate for you yesterday?!" ”

Ruan Qingzhi turned around and came back, jumped to his feet and said, "I didn't say anything about you!" I said my sister and Wang Yuyao! The two of them asked me to go out to enjoy the autumn leaves yesterday, and they privately discussed pushing me off the cliff! My girl heard it and came back and told me, so I said I was sick and didn't go, and then the two of them asked His Royal Highness King Rui to go with him! I'm having another enmity with them! - What you mean by Miss Wang Si is that if you want to kill me, I should be killed by you obediently, otherwise it will be my fault......"

At this time, Wang Yuyao finally woke up, and she was so angry that tears came down: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about?" Yesterday, it was obviously you and His Royal Highness King Rui......"

"Yes!" Ruan Qingzhi's shout was louder than hers, "It was I who told His Royal Highness King Rui that you wanted to ask him out, and it was I who deceived His Royal Highness King Rui!" But Your Highness didn't scold me himself, what are you doing here! Besides, didn't His Royal Highness King Rui go with you in the end? What are you still scolding me for? I've been injured and sick these days, I've been lying at home for more than ten days, and it's easy to run into you when I go out today, who am I offended?! ”

After saying this, she didn't stop, flicked her sleeves and turned around and left: "You guys are amazing, can't I hide if I can't provoke you!" ”

It turned out that she really couldn't hide, because the idler in front of her still refused to give way.

The lady with a small eye and a pointed chin asked in a loud voice, "Miss Ruan means that you didn't leave the city at all yesterday?" ”

"I'm not out of town!" Ruan Qingzhi looked inexplicable, "I haven't been out of the city since I lived so big!" My grandmother said that my life is not good, and I can't go out until I go far away, otherwise I won't live long-Fourth Sister Wang, didn't you insist on asking me out of the city yesterday? ”

Wang Yuyao couldn't argue, and until this moment she still didn't understand why this matter had dragged her in.

Didn't you keep talking about Ruan Qingzhi and Rui Wang? She specially asked a few little sisters to go out shopping today, just to listen to Ruan Qingzhi's jokes! Why did she become a joke herself?

The idlers around to watch the bustle don't matter what is true or false. They only know that the homicide case, the murder case, the grievances and grievances of the high-ranking officials and nobles, and the strange legend of the number of lives with mysterious overtones, are simply too exciting and interesting, and the level of interest is not much worse than those cookie-cutter stories!

What's more, Miss Wang Si, Miss Ruan Er, and King Rui can also have a story of Fengyue! Didn't it mean that the woman in the carriage yesterday hugged and hugged King Rui? If that woman is not Miss Ruan, then is Miss Ruan Er or Miss Wang Si?

……

The words shouted by Ruan Qingzhi can almost be extracted into three or four stories with a little processing and interpretation, one after another with enough twists and turns and enough horror, and I am still stunned Why do I go and tell others quickly!

Many people had this thought in their hearts, so soon some people ran out with red faces, grabbed passers-by and said that they were dancing.

Ruan Qingzhi had been going around in the crowd to avoid the little girls' pursuit, and at this moment the people around him dispersed, and Wang Yuyao immediately screamed and rushed towards Ruan Qingzhi again: "I'll kill you-"

This can be regarded as confirming Ruan Qingzhi's previous accusation against her.

Previously, everyone knew that Miss Wang Si was gentle and upright, who had ever seen her look like this!

Ruan Qingzhi didn't dare to bump into anyone, seeing that Miss Wang Si and her little sisters were gearing up to catch her, she immediately dodged into the crowd again, and grabbed her two girls one by one: "Run!" ”

A few young ladies over there hurriedly chased them out, but were stopped by a few women watching the excitement. Someone persuaded bitterly: "Fourth Miss, the little girl's family, it's nothing to make a few noises occasionally, but you can't really make a fuss!" The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and the Jingzhao Yamen will not ignore it! ”

When Wang Yuyao heard "Jingzhao Yamen", she was shocked and trembled with fright.

Over there, Ruan Qingzhi had already run away with the maids.

The pedestrians on the street were still rubbing shoulders, and the three little girls running hand in hand would not be very noticeable, so Ruan Qingzhi's master and servant ran over along the road, panting but inexplicably feeling very excited.

Probably because there are very few opportunities to curse people like this.

Finally, when they couldn't run, the three of them leaned against the wall of a shop and gasped. Banyue grinned and asked, "Miss, shall we take a stroll or go back to the house directly?" ”

"Go home!" Ruan Qingzhi patted his chest, "What if you don't go back?" Our words haven't spread much yet, and now people on the street are still scolding me, how can I shop? ”

The two girls laughed a little less when they heard this, so they had to help each other get up and find the carriage and horse shop.

I didn't know that I had walked far away, and suddenly heard someone behind me shouting: "Miss Ruan! Miss Ruan, it's all here, why don't you come in? ”
