"Jade slave?" The woman raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, this Yunu girl is really popular, she has only been here for a few days, and someone has come to look for her all day long." She looked Yun Qi up and down, but she didn't say that she was there, nor did she say that she was not.

Yun Qi understood, took out a piece of broken silver from his purse and stuffed it into the mother-in-law's hand: "Mama take it to the bar." ”

The mother-in-law took the silver and put it in her sleeve, and smiled: "It's right that the jade slave is here, but it's unfortunate that you came, before half a cup of tea, she was called away by the guest, I don't know when she will come back, eighty percent have to wait for a while, do you think you will come back next time, or go in and wait for her?" ”

Hearing this, Yun Yan glanced back at Chen Rong, she stood there tightly pinching her sleeves, looking very anxious and nervous, she must not give up easily, Yun Zhen didn't want to come again, so she said, "Bother Mama, let's go in and wait." ”

The woman saw that Chen Rong couldn't see her face clearly with a hood, and looked up and down for a while, but she received Yunqi's silver, so she didn't say much, so she let them in. And pointed: "It's in the fifth room in the south of the front." ”

Yun Qi turned his head and nodded at her, then quickly followed behind Shi Rong to find the fifth room in the south head, pushed the door, and did not lock it.

Yunu's room is not furnished, presumably because of the relationship between the woman outside who said "just a few days after coming", but the other curtains, tables and chairs are very elegantly arranged. The flower window is pasted with the most popular thin transparent rhombus yarn in the capital at the moment, and the light shines through the flower window, casting a hazy and faint flower shadow on several cases under the window.

Chen Rong saw that this room was quite tidy, so she carefully found a place to sit down, waiting for the jade slave to come back, she thought, since someone asked her to come to the jade slave, she would not let her wait for a while, and the jade slave should come back soon.

It was getting later and later, but the sound of dancing and music outside had not stopped, Chen Rong gradually couldn't wait, she stood up and paced back and forth in the room, "Yunqi, you go and ask the mother-in-law, when did the jade slave go out, and when will she come back." ”

Yun Ji agreed and went out of the room, turned around for a while, and said: "The woman said that the jade slave went out in the morning, and the time of return is uncertain. ”

Chen Rong became more and more anxious when she heard this, seeing that the hour was approaching midnight, she finally couldn't wait, "Let's go back first." ”

Yun Qi was relieved and walked out of the foreign teaching workshop with Chen Rong.

Bai Jingze, who was hiding in the shadows, saw them come out and whispered, "Have you found the jade slave?" ”

Liang Chen replied: "I didn't find it, she went out this morning, it is said that she was invited by a nobleman, and she has not come back until now." But in fact, the jade slave did not appear in the mansion of any prince and noble, and disappeared without a trace after leaving the door of the foreign teaching workshop. ”

"Sure enough, there is something wrong with this jade slave......" Bai Jingze touched his chin thoughtfully, "Where did she go?" ”

Liang Chen couldn't figure it out, "In short, let's do the son's instructions first." ”

"Hmm...... It's also a good thing for us to persuade Yu Nu, and it's just right to rely on Chen Rong for her disappearance, and if you can't save your son, you will kill people to vent your anger? What about this charge? ”

"What if the jade slave comes back tomorrow?"

Bai Jingze sighed, "You tell people to look at it, if you see the jade slave, stop her first, get Chen Rong into the Imperial City Division first, a day or two, the person who should be explained will inevitably be explained, and then the 'misunderstanding' will be clarified, and then she can be released." ”

Liang Chen nodded: "Then do it." ”

When Chen Rong returned to the mansion, he felt scared, and his heart was terrified, but fortunately, he didn't attract too many people's attention, if anyone knew that she went to that kind of place late at night with a lady from the house, he didn't know what kind of turmoil would happen.

However, she rejoiced too soon.

As soon as it was dawn on the second day, the people of the Imperial City Division knocked on the door of the Chen family.

Chen Rong thought that there was news of his son, so he hurriedly went to the front yard to meet the visitor. The people of the Imperial City Division looked around and motioned for Chen Rong to send the idle people away, and when the others retreated, Chen Rong was about to ask out loud, but before she could speak, the other party said, "Madame, did you go to the foreign teacher's workshop yesterday?" ”

Chen Rong's blood flowed backwards instantly, and his face was blue and white: "I don't know what you're talking about." ”

"Madame looked for a jade slave in the Daowai Teaching Workshop last night, and many people saw it, so Madame is better to tell the truth."

Chen Rong said angrily: "Even if I go, what if I go, you Imperial City Division doesn't even care about this?" ”

"Yu Nu is the girl that your young master molested that day, and now that she is missing, we suspect that Madame has killed people for her grandson and promoted evil deeds!"

"What?" Chen Rong was stunned: "The jade slave is missing?" ”

The face of the people of the Imperial City Division sank: "Why should Madam pretend not to know. ”

"I went to the foreign teaching workshop, but I didn't see the jade slave, the mother-in-law who guarded the door said that she went out in the morning and never came back!"

"Then can Madame explain why you went back to find the jade slave?"

"I ......" Chen Rong frowned, she couldn't say that someone asked her to go, and it would be even more difficult to explain when the time came. She reacted quickly and said: "I want to save my son, I heard that Yunu was bullied by my son that day, and I want to go to her to ask for forgiveness, hoping that she can come forward to say a few good words for my son." ”

The people of the Imperial City Division frowned and thought for a while, and said, "This is just Madame's words, let's go to the Imperial City Division with us, and we can also meet the young master of your mansion."

Chen Rong was just about to get angry, but when he heard the second half of what he said, he fell silent, hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go with you." ”

………………

Qi Wangfu, Qi Ayaxue looked at several extremely detailed and festive patterns in front of her, without saying a word, her face was pale. Min Feng couldn't help but say: "This eldest girl is too unshy about it, and this kind of behavior is clearly humiliating the county lord!" ”

Qi Yaxue still didn't move, hanging the corners of her mouth, not saying a word, just looking at the lotus flower and her eyes became more and more cold.

"County Lord, is there really no other way? Are you really going to marry Rong Guogong? "In fact, even if you can't marry your sweetheart, it's not impossible to marry a normal family, but Lin Yi ...... Min Feng still can't accept this fact.

Hearing this, Qi Ayaxue slowly raised her head and said, "From now on, don't show a look of complaining or displeased, since I have chosen to be the Duchess of Rongguo, I must reverse the disadvantage in the fastest time, doesn't the Xie family want to pinch me?" Then I'll let her have a good taste of my methods! Make her regret making this decision in the first place! ”

Min Feng raised his eyes and looked at Qi Ayaxue's gaze, and asked cautiously and softly, "What should the county master do?" ”

"Go and inquire about the people of the Rongguo Mansion, from top to bottom, who is whom, what is the past, what are the good friends, and those who have festivals, all find out one by one. Only by controlling the Rongguo Mansion can he turn over. ”

"The county lord...... Xie humiliated you so much, if you marry in the future, it won't be peaceful, should you be prepared? ”

"Of course......" Qi Ayaxue gritted her teeth, remembering that the Xie family asked her to come to check her body, she felt cold and her hair stood on end! And Qing Ruxu, how is the matter I asked you to check? ”

"Miss Qing was still sick last year, but when the cold doctor came to the capital, her illness was cured, and this cold doctor seemed to be very familiar with Jiang Duwei. At the same time, Xiao Song, the eldest lady of the Qing Mansion, was assassinated by thieves who entered the mansion, and the second girl of the Qing family, Qing Ruchu, volunteered to go to the Spring God Nunnery to chant and pray for her mother. ”

"It's weird."

Min Feng wondered.

Qi Ayaxue said: "In the courtyard of the deep house, how many servants guard inside and out, how can it be so easy to enter the thieves, not to mention that the eldest lady in the mansion was stabbed to death." There are also two girls, who say that they go to the nunnery to chant for their mother, which is all nonsense. A good girl's family has reached the age of marriage, will the house let her delay in the nunnery for three years? There must be something in this that we don't know. ”

When Min Feng heard her say this, he also felt that something was wrong, "We didn't pay attention to it before, but after such a check, there are really a lot of things." ”

"It's me who underestimated Qing Ruxu." Qi Ayaxue pondered carefully, "I thought she was just a delicate girl in the inner mansion, and she didn't understand anything when she was spoiled, otherwise, I wouldn't have planted it so ruthlessly in her hands." She looked up: "You said that Qing Ruchu is in the Spring God Nunnery?" ”

"Yes, it's not far from the Great Pudu Temple."

"Do you often go to see her?"

"This ...... It doesn't seem to be. It's just that every once in a while, I will ask the servants in the house to send some things to the second girl. ”

"This is strange, doesn't it mean that Qing Ruxu grew up beside Xiao Song's family since she was a child, and she is like her biological mother and daughter, and she is inseparable from Qing Ruchu? Why did Xiao Song die, Qing Ruchu went to the nunnery to live a hard life, and Qing Ruxu didn't visit often? ”

"What does the county lord mean is that there is a feud between them?"

Ayaxue smiled meaningfully. "Whether there is one or not, just go and see."

The wedding date of the Rongguo Mansion was set for a month later, and according to custom, Ayaxue should first go to the Great Pudu Temple to pray for blessings, and take this opportunity to go to the Spring God Temple.

At this time, the scenery of the Great Pudu Temple is extremely beautiful, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the spring peach is in full bloom. Because it is a marriage, it is different from the usual incense, and it is necessary to burn incense in each hall and pray for kneeling in turn.

The Great Pudu Temple covers a vast area, the front hall, the main hall, and the apse are in different places on the mountain.

Min Feng said: "You can't walk, don't follow, so as not to delay the time for the county lord to offer incense, just wait here." ”

Everyone was eager to rest here, and they agreed again and again.

Qi Ayaxue and Min'er pinched the incense in their hands, walked up the steps, and climbed all the way.

After walking for a while, he turned a corner, and when he looked back, he could no longer see the people below, and the wicked people looked at each other, trampled the incense on the ground, and went down the hill along another path.

The Spring God Nunnery is not far from the foot of the Great Pudu Temple, and it doesn't take much time for them to go back and forth, Min Feng has already explored the road in advance, and the two of them only pretend to be ordinary pilgrims and go straight to the Spring God Temple.
