Ji Ruhuan looked coldly at Wan'er, who was kneeling at her feet, shaking her body and crying, and said, "Want a chance to live?"

Wan'er's eyes lit up, she raised her head to look at Ji Ruhuan, and nodded like pounding garlic.

Ji Ruhuan, who listened to it, continued, "Then keep your mouth shut and stay in the Lingering Pavilion obediently, if someone comes to you, you must know what to do, after all, you have done this kind of thing before, right?"

The dark light in Wan'er's eyes flashed, and then she kowtowed to Ji Ruhuan and said, "The slave must do the errand assigned by the young lady." ”

Ji Ruhuan showed a sneer on her face, and responded, "Don't think that your little cleverness can save you, if you want to live, be obedient, if you want to find death, you should understand, as far as your identity is concerned, I want you to die, and no one can save you." ”

Wan'er responded, "Miss, don't worry, the slave will be obedient." ”

Only then did Ji Ruhuan say to the guards on the side with satisfaction, "Let her go and let her go back to the Lingering Pavilion to work." ”

The guards over there had already begun to torture the prisoners on the torture rack, and Ji Ruhuan didn't have the habit of watching people being tortured, so he waved his hand, "Lock him up first." ”

The guard asked suspiciously, "Isn't it a trial?"

Ji Ruhuan responded, "Let's talk about it later." ”

After that, Ji Ruhuan didn't leave, so she sat there and waited, she still wanted to know who the person in charge of Xu was.

She originally guessed that this matter was related to the four princes, but now it seems that it is not necessarily, but one thing she is sure of is that this matter is definitely related to Aunt Yun.

This woman can't stop staying in the ancestral hall, it's really a good means.

However, Ji Ruhuan waited for a long time and didn't wait for Steward Xu, but waited for Steward Wu to come, saying that her father asked her to go to the study.

Ji Ruhuan was thinking about Steward Xu, Aunt Yun and others, and walked to the door of the study, and directly pushed the door open, not even having time to stop Steward Wu.

But after pushing the door open, Ji Ruhuan frowned, the person standing in front of her father, if she remembers correctly, should be the person in charge.

General Ji was slightly stunned when he saw Ji Ruhuan who pushed the door open, and then said to the manager Xu in front of him, "You go down first." ”

Ji Ruhuan frowned, a little puzzled, could it be that he remembered wrong, this is not Xu Guanshi?

Seeing that the man smiled and saluted himself, and then turned to leave, Ji Ruhuan entered the room and looked at the man's back and asked, "Daddy, isn't that person in charge of Xu?

I didn't want to, but I heard my father answer, "It's Xu Steward." ”

Could it be that this person came to his father's side, and Daniel Zhang missed it when he went to arrest people?

Ji Ruhuan guessed, and hurriedly said to Steward Wu behind him, "Uncle Wu, quickly, arrest this Steward Xu." ”

General Ji sighed and replied, "Huan'er, this steward can't be moved. ”

Butler Wu had already retreated and closed the door of the study for the two of them.

Ji Ruhuan looked at his father in disbelief, "Why? That person colluded with the maid in my courtyard and took the layout of my Lingering Pavilion, he was the executioner who participated in the assassination last night." ”

General Ji replied helplessly, "He was also being used, Huan'er, last night's incident, my father will find out and give you an explanation, so don't interfere." ”

Ji Ruhuan's eyes were staring at his father tightly, but General Ji turned his gaze to the side with some fearlessness.

In the end, Ji Ruhuan didn't say anything, just turned around and left, and kept her head down thoughtfully on the road, she could almost guess that her father didn't want to move Xu Guan, but he was a little afraid to move Xu Guan, why?

Is it because of his life experience? What does the steward know about this, or what does he participate in?

If you know such a secret and still live, there is a reason why you can't extinguish it. And what is the reason?

And was this Xu Steward instructed by Aunt Yun? If he was instructed by Aunt Yun, he didn't mention Aunt Yun for the sake of his father? Could it be that he guessed wrong? This matter has nothing to do with Aunt Yun?

Ji Ruhuan returned to the Lingering Pavilion in confusion, Qiu's mother had already taken Qingju to look at the Lingering Pavilion for a long time, and when she saw Ji Ruhuan, she greeted her and said, "Miss, if you don't come back, the slave will go to you." ”

Ji Ruhuan smiled, and then Qiu's mother frowned and continued, "Why did you put Wan'er back? She may have something to do with yesterday's incident." ”

Ji Ruhuan responded, "Mother Qiu, don't worry, I have my own measure, I'm so hungry, let's go eat first." ”

After walking a few steps, Ji Ruhuan was still a little uneasy, turned to Qiu's mother and said, "Arrange a reliable watch, just watch what she has done and see someone, but don't interfere, and don't let her leave the house." ”

Surrounded by a few people, they went to the dining room, and as soon as they sat down, the maids laid out the steaming meal on the table.

Qingju forgot quickly, and at this time she had forgotten that Miss was secretly dunning you, so she took the initiative to come to her own miss's side, and while holding a copper basin and waiting for Ji Ruhuan to clean her hands, she glanced at Mother Qiu carefully.

Seeing that Mother Qiu didn't pay attention to this, she whispered, "Miss, the slave maid heard that Xiao Jinzi came back from the house and said that there are rumors in the streets and alleys outside that Miss you were assassinated yesterday, saying that the Wu family wanted to kill you in order to prevent their little master from marrying you, so that the little young master Wu would die." ”

Ji Ruhuan showed a sneer on her face, "It turns out that I have prepared a backhand, this is to force the Zhenguo Mansion and Wu Taishi's Mansion to turn against each other." ”

Looking at the expression on her young lady's face, Qing Ju's hand couldn't help but tremble, shouldn't she listen to Mother Qiu, don't talk nonsense about this matter and tell Miss?

Seeing Qiu's mother coming this way, Qingju hurriedly flashed the copper basin in her hand to the side, Ji Ruhuan didn't mention it again, she cleaned her hands with Qiu's mother's injured cotton towel, and ate quietly.

The snow outside seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and Ji Ruhuan simply didn't go out, stayed in the house and looked for a book to read, but obviously a little absent-minded all the time.

Until the end of the day, Ji Chengmu and Ji Chengmo came over, it was cold in the main hall, thinking that there was no need to be too evasive about the elder brother, so he asked the two elder brothers to simply come into the backyard house.

As soon as Ji Chengmo entered the house, he began to shout, "My sister will really enjoy happiness, even the earth dragon is burned." ”

Ji Ruhuan raised his eyes and glanced at him, and responded, "The third brother is so poor that he can't afford to burn the earth dragon?"

Ji Chengmo raised his head and touched his nose, sat down on a chair as he passed, and forcibly pulled out a reason, "Isn't it that it hasn't reached the moon yet, what kind of earth dragon is burned." ”

Ji Ruhuan didn't pay attention to the third brother anymore, but looked at the second brother Ji Chengmu and asked, "How is the investigation?"

Ji Chengmu sat down on the chair next to Ji Chengmo and responded, "Father won't let me interfere, saying that he will personally investigate this matter." ”

When answering Ji Ruhuan, Ji Chengmu frowned slightly, slightly puzzled, and Ji Ruhuan also frowned, with a contemplative expression.

Ji Chengmo looked at Ji Chengmu, who was silent, and then looked at Ji Ruhuan, who also looked pensive, a little foggy, and said impatiently, "What's the matter with you one by one?"

Ji Ruhuan raised her head and responded with a smile, "It's okay." ”

If that Xu Steward was really related to the messy secrets at the beginning, it was right for my father to do this, but he couldn't let the second brother get involved in these things.

It's just that Ji Ruhuan is really curious, who is this Xu Steward? Why does he know those secrets back then, and can still be the treasury steward in this Zhenguo General's Mansion? She must find out, but how to find out?
