When Zheng Zhi fell asleep, Bai Ziyi did not sleep all night. That night, Aunt Qian thought about it left and right, and told Master Bai about Zheng Zhi's file 1510. Master Bai is usually not strict about Bai Ziyi's affairs, and most of the time he turns a blind eye, but he was also surprised when he heard about it.

The old man with a cool temperament immediately found Bai Ziyi and wanted to talk to him as a father.

"Zheng Zhi came to our house in a good manner, although she is not a wife, she has to treat her well. Now you let her stay alive and widowed, and let her suffer an injustice outside, this is not our Baifu's way of behaving in the world. Master Bai looked at his son with a sinking face and said in a deep voice.

Bai Ziyi was silent for a long time, his expression seemed unbearable, but he finally pursed his lips: "Dad, I know that she is wronged, but I can't help her explain, I can't say that she is innocent from beginning to end, otherwise some people will have doubts." ”

Master Bai glared at first and wanted to reprimand Bai Ziyi for a few words, but when he heard it, he couldn't say anything anymore, just sighed constantly.

When Bai Ziyi returned to the house, he was already a child, and after entering the door, he saw Zheng Rui waiting for him in the house, he was slightly surprised and then changed his expression, and said with a relaxed expression: "Why hasn't Rui'er slept yet?" Come here at night, be careful with the cool dew at night, don't catch a cold. ”

Zheng Rui lowered her head slightly when she heard this, and her long eyelashes covered the look in her eyes, "Xianggong too, be careful not to catch a cold when you are still outside so late." ”

Bai Ziyi's breath was stagnant for a moment, and then he chuckled: "Rui'er, you can sleep here so late, I'll ask someone to add another quilt." When Bai Ziyi turned around to call Zhuwang, he noticed that Yuhuan and Xiuyan beside Zheng Rui were not there.

looked back on Zheng Rui, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and found that she had always dressed up in a simple bun at this time, and even had a trace of messy hair on her sideburns.

"Why didn't you see Yuhuan and Xiuyan beside you? In the middle of the night, they just let their master go out alone?" Bai Ziyi raised his voice.

"I can't sleep, so I want to go out for a walk, I want to see my father-in-law, and I don't have to wake them up if it's not a big deal."

Zheng Rui got up quietly after falling asleep tonight, and for some reason she always felt uneasy, although the current situation was what she wanted to see, and it took her a lot of effort to convince her father to agree to her arrangement, she should be happy. But her heart was empty, she didn't think that Bai Ziyi would be farther and farther away from her, and she couldn't wait to see Bai Ziyi after waking up from her dream.

Bai Ziyi was still gentle and humble to her tonight, but there was always a sense of alienation in this gentleness that made her uneasy. She originally wanted Bai Ziyi to see that there was no unchanging darkness in her eyes, and she even wanted to give up her conceit and inferiority complex and love him wholeheartedly. It's just that this kind of thought faded a little bit when she found that Bai Ziyi looked at Zheng Zhi's subtle eye changes, maybe neither of them noticed the change, but she, who always paid attention to Bai Ziyi's every move, was the first to notice something strange. Slowly, her heart began to change, and her pride never allowed her to admit defeat, not to mention that Zheng Zhi also discovered the most hated secret in her heart. The secret gnawed at her soul like an ant eating her bones, making her hateful, uneasy, and afraid, but she was powerless to fight, and even her father, who had doted on her since childhood, could do nothing. If she can't find an outlet, she'll be annihilated.

Zheng Rui was lying beside Bai Ziyi, looking at the figure with his back to her when he had been sleeping, and his originally slightly infatuated eyes gradually became hard and cold.

Early the next morning, Zheng Rui woke up and saw Bai Ziyi. When she returned to Qiutang Courtyard, she unexpectedly saw Aunt Qian anxiously waiting for her.

She was very close to Aunt Qian during this time, she took some effort and spent some silver, Qian was born in a small family, and her eyes were shallow, and it didn't take long for her to stand with herself.

"Aunt Qian, why didn't you wait for Rui'er to go to your place to say goodbye, but came to me instead?"

Qian took a step forward and said in an anxious and mysterious tone, "I'm going to tell you something......"

On the other side, after Bai Ziyi finished taking care of business in the study in the morning, he recruited Zhu Wang in: "How is the investigation of that matter?" ”

Zhu Wang lowered his head and replied: "On the day the little grandmother was taken captive, Ling Ergongzi was also outside the city, and he ......."

"Say it". Bai Ziyi said softly.

Zhu Wang took a breath, "And according to eyewitness accounts, it should be that Ling Er Gongzi and Little Grandma were together that day, and they were ambushed on their way back to the city. ”

"Have you found out who those killers are?" Bai Ziyi's voice couldn't hear the ups and downs.

"Not yet, it seems that the Ling Mansion is also investigating this matter, but the strange thing is that the clue is broken when it is found in one place."

Bai Ziyi pondered for a while, "Got it, you go out." ”

Zhu Wang didn't move, as if he had something to say.

"Anything else?" Bai Ziyi asked.

"Childe, when we were investigating, we also accidentally met the secret person of the prefect government......

Bai Zi's hand holding the brush tightened, and a purple pen snapped into two.

And Zheng Rui's heart was like a volcano erupting at the moment, and she couldn't calm down for a long time. She originally thought that Bai Ziyi's eyes on Zheng Zhi were different, one thing was because Zheng Zhi had an innocent body that she didn't have, so he favored her a little bit. It turned out that in the end, none of them ......

And Zheng Zhi was taken captive, and when she came back, she was still complete! Why is she always so lucky? Why does everyone want to cherish her?

Zheng Rui's hand holding the handkerchief trembled slightly from overexertion.

Aunt Qian saw Zheng Rui's obvious look of jealousy that she had never shown before, she was a little flustered, she didn't understand Zheng Rui's unexpected reaction. Isn't it something that your husband should be happy about if she doesn't want to touch other women?

After Zheng Rui noticed Qian's puzzled and inquiring eyes, she calmed down her emotions and said, "Aunt Qian, thank you for coming to tell me this. I still have some jewelry from the county government, and some of them are still from the palace, I don't know if my aunt likes it? With that, she asked Yuhuan to bring her Nanmu jewelry box.

Qian said no, but his eyes were already attracted by the brilliance in the jewelry box, and he couldn't take his eyes off it.

After half a pillar of incense, Qian had an extra jade necklace around his neck and left with a satisfied smile.

Zheng Rui just wanted to retire everyone, she wanted to stay alone for a while, when Xiuyan, who came in from outside, took out a letter with fire paint from her sleeve and whispered: "The flying pigeon of the county magistrate passed the book." ”

Zheng Rui frowned, withdrew his subordinates, and opened the envelope. There are only a few short words in the letter: Zheng Zhi was with Ling Xiao on the day of her captivity.

After Zheng Rui read the letter, the corners of her mouth unconsciously flashed a sneer.
