The two were taken away, and the news immediately reached Chen's ears, she sat on the couch and smiled, took a fruit and put it in her mouth, spit out the seeds after a while, and said: "Let's see what Liu Ruxue does, let her offend Shen Qian, when Shen Qian comes back, she will naturally settle accounts with her, but I don't have to do it, hum!"

With great strength, several mothers-in-law took the two of them to a dilapidated house in Ruxue Pavilion and pushed them in, and then they heard a noise and the door was locked.

Xiaocui was pushed to the ground, and Meng Xiaoran walked over to help her up, "Are you okay?" Did you fall somewhere? ”

She shook her head, her face full of worry, "Sister, I'm fine, but we were locked up by the eldest lady, and now the young master is not in the house, how can this be good?" ”

Meng Xiaoran was also a little worried, if she wanted to escape, it would naturally be easy, but if she exposed herself like that, she could only take one step at a time.

She expected that Liu Ruxue should have a move, and she had to be careful, she looked at the room, there was not even a place to sit, it was full of miscellaneous items, thinking that it should be a utility room, the only broken table was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Meng Xiaoran sighed, walked to a corner full of debris, and sorted out the debris one by one, Xiaocui also hurried over to help when he saw this, the two were busy for a while, and finally cleared out a corner, and then leaned on a few sacks with things in the corner and sat down, regardless of the dirt on the ground.

The sky is getting darker, and you can see through the window that it is getting dark outside, and it has been half a day since they were locked up, but no one has paid attention to it, Meng Xiaoran knew, and the Chen family must have known it a long time ago, but now it seems that she still chooses to ignore it, and sure enough, she is too naïve.

"Sister, will we be okay?" Xiao Cui's voice trembled a little, she had seen too many people who died quietly in the mansion, and Liu Ruxue was a ruthless person, so she didn't blame her for being afraid.

Meng Xiaoran hugged her shoulders, found that her whole body was trembling, her heart softened, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, with me, I will protect you." ”

Xiao Cui nodded, but there were still tears of fear in her eyes, she reached out and wiped her tears, "Xiao Cui is not afraid, she is just worried about her sister, in the past, Sister Wan'er was imprisoned in the firewood room by the eldest lady like this, and then she ......"

Meng Xiaoran's heart warmed, and at that moment there was an urge to cry, "Silly girl, you should know your sister's ability, don't worry, I won't be slaughtered like Wan'er." ”

This night, Meng Xiaoran kept her eyes open and didn't sleep, for fear that she would fall asleep, but the strange thing was that she spent the night peacefully, she couldn't help but feel strange in her heart, Liu Ruxue locked herself here without moving, but she didn't think that her sex had changed, and she couldn't know what the reason was, so she could only wait quietly.

In front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, several luxuriously decorated carriages were parked there, and a group of family members gathered at the door, Chen was dignified and decent, looked at Liu Yingyuan in front of him with a smile, and said: "The master must take care of his body when he is outside, although the case is important, but he must not take care of his body in vain." ”

It turned out that yesterday morning, there was a strange case in Wuzhou, Jiangnan, Wuzhou Taishou's whole family was wiped out overnight, the emperor was furious, and immediately named Liu Yingyuan as the minister of the Qincha, and went to investigate the case with a holy decree, and it was necessary to find out the tragedy.

Although it is inconvenient to go south and leave home, but to be so trusted by the emperor, Liu Yingyuan is still very happy in his heart, and when he came back yesterday, he immediately asked people to pack up his things and bring an aunt to serve by his side, and the group was going to leave early this morning.

It was because Liu Ruxue dared to take Meng Xiaoran down yesterday, she knew that no one could control herself after her father left, then this prime minister's mansion was her alone, and the Chen family only dared to be rampant because of her father's presence, and she would not dare to say more when her father left.

At this time, Liu Ruxue lowered her head, the corners of her mouth were full of smiles, Liu Yingyuan and Chen told each other, and took care of their sons to study well, and then looked at the daughter who was standing aside, "Xue'er." ”

Liu Ruxue was still immersed in her own thoughts, and when she heard her father shouting to her, she immediately came back to her senses, and when she raised her head, her face was still dazed, Liu Yingyuan frowned, and then instructed her, "Daddy is not here, you have to listen to your mother at home, don't mess around anymore, you know?" ”

was said in public by her father, Liu Ruxue was naturally unhappy in her heart, but she still held back on her face, nodded and said: "Daddy, don't worry, my daughter must be at home to keep the harem and wait for her father's return." ”

Seeing that she was so obedient, Liu Yingyuan had a smile on his face, looked at the relatives at home, and finally got into the carriage, a group of people watched the carriage disappear at the door, and then left, Liu Ruxue turned around and turned around with a smug smile on the corner of her mouth, and hurriedly returned to Ruxue Pavilion with her maid.

Chen walked behind, looking at them with a smile on his face, Lu Yi on the side stood aside with some hesitation, looked at Liu Ruxue's master and servant who was walking away, bit his lip and finally said to Chen next to him: "Madam, Lu Fu has been caught by the eldest lady all night, do you want to go and see?" ”

Chen glanced at her, Lu Yi hurriedly lowered his head, and after a while, Chen snorted coldly, "You are kind-hearted, Lu Fu is just a concubine who doesn't even have a name for the young master, and she was arrested by the eldest lady, what can I do to save her, don't make your own decisions in the future, just do your own thing." ”

Lu Yi immediately knelt on the ground, "The slave knows her mistake, please punish Madame." ”

"For the sake of you serving me for more than ten years and always being heartfelt, forget it this time, and remember your duty in the future." Chen glanced at her coldly, and then brushed his sleeves away, Zhang's mother also glanced at Luyi, and then followed, and finally Lumian walked over to help her up.

whispered in her ear: "You and I have been doing things together for so many years, I know that you are kind-hearted, but after all, several of us are doing things for Mrs., and we will do whatever Mrs. says, so that we can save our lives, think about the green feelings, we will be vigilant in the future, and don't forget our duty." ”

Green Yi nodded, turned her head to look at Lu Mian, she has been silent for so many years, but she is heartfelt, and she obeys Chen's words, although she is not favored by her and Green Love, but she is very trusted by Chen, Lu Yi secretly thought in her heart, maybe it is not that she is not smart enough, but she is smart enough to survive peacefully in this Linyue Zhai.

Maybe he was thinking too much, and the figure of Lu Fu appeared in his mind, and finally sighed secretly in his heart and shook his head, "You're right, I'll pay attention to it in the future." ”

In Ruxue Pavilion, Liu Ruxue closed the door as soon as she entered, turned to look at Xia's mother and said, "Mom, I asked you to match the key a few days ago, are you ready?" ”

Mother Xia nodded, "How dare the old slave be lazy about what the eldest lady ordered, the key has already been matched." As he spoke, he pulled out a key from his bosom.

Liu Ruxue took it with a smile, looked at it carefully, and then nodded, "Yes, the key given to you that day is like this, there must be no mistake." ”

"The shape of this key with Miss is a little strange, but it is rare, the old slave found many shops, and finally made it in the mold shop of the Shen family, I don't know what the key is for?" Mother Xia asked with some curiosity.

Liu Ruxue smiled, "You don't care about it, let's act according to the plan tonight." Mother Xia nodded and didn't ask any more.

A day and a night passed, Meng Xiaoran and Xiaocui were locked in the firewood room and no one paid attention to them, but fortunately, the two bought some snacks when they went out yesterday, Xiaocui was smart, and when she saw people, she quietly hid the snacks in her wide sleeves, and the two of them have been hungry for snacks, but they will not be hungry.

"Sister, what do you mean by Miss, why are you keeping us here and not asking?" Xiao Cui asked with some confusion.

Meng Xiaoran's eyes flashed with a touch of contemplation, she was also wondering, but she knew that Liu Ruxue would definitely not ignore it all the time, what should she do?

"Xiaocui, have you heard anything going on in the house in the past two days?"

Xiao Cui tilted her head and thought for a while, then frowned and shook her head, "I didn't hear anything." Suddenly, his eyes lit up, as if he thought of something, "By the way, I went to the kitchen to get breakfast yesterday morning, and I seemed to hear someone saying that the master was going down to Jiangnan today, saying that he came back from the court and ordered everyone to prepare." ”

"Down to Jiangnan? But what did you hear about it for? ”

Xiao Cui shook her head, "That's not true, that's all they said, and nothing else was said." ”

Meng Xiaoran nodded, frowning and pondering, Liu Yingyuan is going to go to Jiangnan, he left today, yesterday the news came out, Liu Ruxue caught them, presumably because she felt that her father had not controlled her after leaving, since her face was scratched last time and had an accident, now Liu Yingyuan is very strict with her control, and she is not allowed to cause trouble again, if she is known, she will be confined, it seems that this time she was arrested because Liu Yingyuan wanted to go to Jiangnan.

Meng Xiaoran sighed, her luck is really bad, if she goes out one day earlier, maybe there will be no such thing, she is hiding in Linyue Zhai, presumably Liu Ruxue does not have the ability to break in to find trouble for herself, she can only say that everything is destiny.

"The master is gone today?" Meng Xiaoran suddenly asked, Xiao Cui nodded, she frowned and said, "It seems that the eldest lady will take action today, you and I have to be careful." ”

Seeing her solemn face, Xiao Cui was also a little nervous, and nodded vigorously, Meng Xiaoran touched her head and sighed, "Xiao Cui, I'm sorry, it's my sister who has caused you, and the eldest lady wants to deal with me, I didn't expect to involve you too, I don't know how Aunt Hu should worry about it in the past two days?" ”

Xiao Cui shook her head and hugged her hand, "Sister, don't say that, Xiao Cui can have this life because of my sister, my sister is like a sister to Xiao Cui, and sisters should share weal and woe, if I haven't been caught in, I don't know how much to worry about outside, it's better to be with my sister, so I can feel at ease." ”

Xiao Cui's words made Meng Xiaoran feel emotional, clenched her hand, and said to herself in her heart: Xiao Cui, I will never let you have anything to do.
