Chapter 31: Why
"Wait a little longer." Ji Wan estimated the time in his heart.
At this moment, a small black shadow carefully knocked on the window.
"Qinglu, open the window."
Qinglu frowned suspiciously, and opened the window according to Yan, but was startled: "Ruyi? ”
Wasn't Ruyi imprisoned in Ci'an Hall?
After today's incident, Mrs. Ji asked Ruyi and Huanpei to be guarded for the time being, how could they appear here.
"Let her in." Qinglu was still stunned when she heard Ji Guan's calm voice like water again.
Could it be that the young lady arranged it, Qinglu covered her mouth with a shocked face, and hurriedly let Ruyi come in.
"What the eldest lady asked the slave to do, the slave has done it well, and I ask the eldest lady to fulfill her promise." Ruyi knelt on the ground, and after a day of inquiry, she was very embarrassed at the moment, and there were still a lot of dirt on her dress.
Ji Wan was not interested in how she slipped out of Ci'an Hall, before today, Ruyi was also a maid with a head and face in the house, there was a snake and a snake road, a rat had a mouse road, and she had her own way.
There was a moment of silence before he spoke: "Don't worry, I promise you that I will do it." ”
Ruyi got the answer he wanted, and he was relieved.
On the night of the burglars in the house, she was about to turn off the lights and go to bed, but she saw a note on the table, asking her to meet in the back garden in the middle of the night.
But she didn't expect that it was the eldest lady who came, and the shock in her heart had not been completely erased until this moment.
"Thank you, Miss, Miss's great kindness will always be remembered." Ruyi kowtowed sincerely, although he suffered a little, but if he could successfully escape from the second lady and be with his sweetheart, it would be worth it.
She gritted her teeth, and a hint of determination flashed on her face: "The slave maid still has something she wants to tell the young lady alone." ”
Ji Wan saw that her face was very solemn, and she chuckled in her heart, she was careless, Ruyi was the most trusted confidant by Ji Wei's side after all, maybe she could know something she wanted to know, and waved her hand with a straight look to signal Yan Bing and Qinglu to retreat.
"Say it."
"The slave knows that the eldest lady must be very puzzled, why the second lady is so eager to put you to death."
Ji Wan just frowned slightly, looked at her quietly and didn't answer her words.
If she saw Ji Wan's expression, she was a little stunned, she thought that the eldest lady would be very anxious when she heard her say this, and she could take advantage of this to raise her profile and ask for more benefits, but she couldn't help but be a little discouraged when she saw this, and she didn't dare to take Qiao anymore.
"The slave maid remembered that at noon two days before the incident, the slave maid was about to deliver something to the second lady, when she saw Aunt Xu hurriedly enter the second lady's bedroom, and mysteriously drove away all the maids in the yard, and the slave and maid eavesdropped on their conversation for a moment of curiosity."
"The slave maid heard Aunt Xu say that the fourth prince intends to marry the eldest lady as a concubine."
"What did you say?" Ji Guan's pupils shrank suddenly, and he stood up from the chair with a cold face, many things flew through his mind, and everything made sense.
She knew that Ruyi was telling the truth, and at this juncture, there was really no need for her to fool herself with some lies. It's just that she didn't know anything about it, either in her previous life or until now.
Ruyi was startled, and hurriedly lowered her head: "What the slave said is the truth, the second miss was very angry after hearing it, and smashed everything that could be smashed in the house, the eldest lady may not know, the second miss went to Guiyuan Temple with Aunt Xu to burn incense and met the four princes by chance once, and since then she has been relieved to secretly promise, and has always admired His Royal Highness the Four Princes, but because of the identity, we can only put it in our hearts, but as the personal maid of the second miss, these things naturally can't be hidden from us." ”
Guiyuan Temple is a royal temple, and the people who generally go to it are all famous families, and it is not uncommon to meet the royal family and nobles, but is it really such a coincidence? Ji Wan's eyes sank.
Ruyi looked at Ji Guan's face, and then said: "In less than two days, the eldest lady fell off the rockery, and the slave maid always felt that these two things had something to do with each other, but the slave maid was soft-spoken and didn't dare to talk nonsense." ”
If it weren't for the sake of adding some chips to herself, she wouldn't have said it if she was killed, casually climbing the imperial family was a capital crime for the Nine Clans, she was just a lowly little girl, and she didn't have to pinch her to death.
Ruyi touched his neck and suppressed the coolness in his heart, and his face was nervous.
Reliving for two centuries, Guan also has a deep understanding of the warmth and coldness of people's hearts, how can she not see those little ninety-nine in her heart, human nature is selfish, as long as her careful thinking does not hinder her, she is too lazy to put her beak.
Ji Wan glanced at her with an unpredictable expression, and said lightly: "I know, you go back first, don't let people find out." ”
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." Ruyi patted his chest, only felt that Ji Wan had a breathtaking momentum, and he didn't dare to look up at her expression at the moment, and after withdrawing a distance, he turned his back and exhaled a long breath and pushed the door out.
Yan Bing and Qinglu were guarding not far from the door, looking around vigilantly, and their expressions relaxed when they saw her come out, but they just glanced at her silently, and did not react much.
They are the maids personally selected by the first lady Qin, and they have been strictly trained before they are placed next to the young lady to serve, except for some small personalities on weekdays, they know very well what they should do when they encounter serious things, and they will never exceed half a point.
The two entered the inner room one after another, and saw Ji Wan sitting at the table and didn't know what to think about.
Yan Bing walked over and said softly: "Miss, it's not too early, let's go to bed early, your body is not well yet, so you can't stand it." ”
"Change my clothes." Ji Wan rubbed his temples.
After Qinglu served her to wash, Yan Bing helped her change into soft bedclothes.
After the two of them were busy, they quietly retreated.
Ji Wan was lying on the bed looking at the top of the tent embroidered with hibiscus flowers, he couldn't sleep, still thinking about what happened just now, and there was a trace of confusion in his dark eyes.
Although Ji Wei is friendly with her on the surface, she has always been jealous of her in her heart, always feeling that she robbed her of everything, and has a deep love for the four princes, how could she stand the person she hates the most to become the fourth princess and step on her head for the rest of her life.
But where did Aunt Xu know about it, even her father Ji An, it doesn't seem like she knows about it.
There are also four princes, who have never met her.
And thanks to Ji Wei's blessing, her reputation outside is not good, there are so many famous and noble girls, I really can't understand why the fourth prince would ask to marry someone like her as a princess.
Ji Wan had a lot of doubts in her heart, which made her heart heavy, she was not a smart person, but with the lessons of the previous life, she was more vigilant and more cautious in everything.
