After processing the letter, Tong said to her maid: "Go and explain to the concierge that I didn't see any maids from the Gu family today." The people in the house also beat and knocked again, so as not to let those rumors spread to the old lady's courtyard and disturb her tranquility. If someone dares to show his mouth, he will directly hit the board and sell it. ”

Yahuan hurriedly responded and immediately went to arrange everywhere.

Tong returned to the backyard and did not go back to his own yard, but went to Mrs. Shen's side.

Old Madam Shen's spirit is okay these days, but she has been sick for many years, and she looks gloomy.

Seeing that the Tong family was coming, Old Madam Shen asked, "Can you go to the Gu family and ask, when will Ah Ruan come over again?" ”

Tong smiled gently: "I asked, the Gu family said that Ah Ruan made an appointment with a few little sisters to go to Huang'en Temple to enjoy the plum blossoms, and it will take several days to go, and I am afraid that it will take a few days to come back." The Gu family said, when Ah Ruan came back, he asked her to come over to accompany you immediately. ”

Old Madam Shen nodded: "How is the matter of the Fuyou County Lord resolved?" ”

The smile on Tong's face remained unchanged: "It's already over, the county lord of Fuyou is a very smart person, I went to her house that day, if she didn't come out to see me, but she also let Yahuan talk, saying that she was also at fault, and she couldn't just blame Ah Ruan for being impulsive." ”

Old Madam Shen was satisfied: "She has also suffered a crime, you can pick up some medicinal herbs and send them to her." The girl also sent some over. Old man, I know that Miaoxin has also suffered some grievances this time, and you are a little unhappy in your heart. But Ah Ruan lost her mother when she was a child, and no one was willing to raise her well. She acted perversely and impulsively, which made Miaoxin suffer some grievances, don't take it to heart. In the future, I will detain her and stop her from bullying Miaoxin. ”

Tong Shi was not angry, but the smile on his face did not diminish at all: "What did my mother say?" Ah Ruan's daughter-in-law is the most understandable, although she is impulsive, but she is the most sincere. There is something wrong with her, and it is all unintentional mistakes, and I and Miaoxin and Miaoxin's father and mother did not take it to heart. ”

Old Madam Shen was very useful in her heart, and felt that this daughter-in-law was indeed a transparent person: "You, you are a good one." The Tong family is also good. ”

Tong smiled, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

For this mother-in-law, she still has some resentment in her heart. The mother-in-law is not bad, but she favors Gu Ruan too much, which makes her niece Miaoxin suffer a lot of grievances. Especially this time, I almost lost my life. In the past, she could have been generous and ignore the little things, but not this time.

Therefore, she ordered everyone in the mansion to keep their mouths shut and not to pass on the outside about Gu Ruan into the mansion.

She wants to make Gu Ruan have no way to ask for help!

Without the Shen family behind her, how the families of those girls who had been bullied by Gu Ruan would take advantage of this opportunity to take revenge was really something she was looking forward to.

After appeasing Mrs. Shen, Tong went back to his courtyard.

Xiang Xue completed the task and went back to hand in the errand, and Xiao hurriedly ran to Gu Ruan's yard.

Gu Ruan hurriedly asked, "How are things going?" Has the letter been delivered? ”

Xiao Shi smiled and nodded: "It's done, the letter was delivered to Mrs. Shizi by Xiangxue herself, presumably Old Madam Shen has already read the letter at this time." ”

When Gu Ruan heard the name of the Tong family, she immediately frowned, but she thought that now there were two masters in the Dingguo Mansion, and her grandmother usually did not see guests, so it was normal for the letter to be sent to the Tong family.

What's more, she felt that the Tong family would definitely not dare to do anything on the letter.

Xiao Shi saw that Gu Ruan's expression was much more relaxed, so he looked at her expectantly. The meaning was obvious, it was a reminder to Gu Ruan to fulfill his promise.

Gu Ruan pursed his lips slightly: "I don't know if you really helped me at this time, and when there is movement on the Shen family's side, I will naturally fulfill my promise." ”

Xiao Shi couldn't hope in his heart, but he said: "Okay, I'm not in a hurry, you can wait with peace of mind, the Shen family will definitely make a move soon." ”

Gu Ruan waved his hand: "That's okay, you go back first, I'm a little tired." ”

Xiao quickly retreated from her yard.

After being some distance away, Xiangxue couldn't help but ask, "Madam, why do you want to please the fifth girl so much?" Although you are not her biological mother, but in the end, you are also the lady who is marrying in the Ming Media of the Zhongxiao Mansion, so it is reasonable that the five girls should respect you. ”

A hint of complexity flashed in Xiao's expression: "You don't understand. ”

Xiangxue really doesn't understand, although the Xiao family is filling the house, it is the gate of the Gu family hired by the three books and six hires, and she is Gu Ruan's nominal mother, but Gu Ruan has never had a good face for the Xiao family.

And Xiao's is even more incomprehensible, how can an elder always bow down in front of the junior. Even if it is for the resources of the Shen family, there is no need to be humble to this extent. What Xiao has done over the years has always made them feel as if she owes Gu Ruan something.

Anyway, in the entire Gu family's three rooms, there are always many places that are weird. It's just that they, who are human beings, don't dare to ask more questions, so they can only keep things they can't figure out in their stomachs.

After Gu Lian came back, he went to Gu Ruan's courtyard, "You clean up and go out with me." ”

Gu Ruan thought in her heart that it must be the Shen family who intervened, so the Gu family was going to lift the ban on her, so she immediately got up and went to change her clothes.

But when she changed her clothes, she heard Gu Lian talking to her entourage, "I will be at the mansion of the county lord of Fuyou in a while......

"What?! Are we going to that village girl's house? ”

Gu Ruan suddenly screamed: "I'm not going, none of you want to trick me into going to her house!" ”

The green tendons on Gu Lian's forehead were rising, and the matter of Gu Ruan pushing Tong Miaoxin and the Fuyou County Lord into the water had already spread so much that even the emperor asked twice.

And rumors began to appear in the market that Gu Ruan fell into the water and was rescued by a man, and his innocence was ruined.

In the past two days, they have been looking for the whereabouts of the man who saved people, but there is no clue at all, and this person seems to have evaporated from the world.

The brothers discussed it and felt that Gu Ruan's falling into the water and being rescued should all be from King Xiao. He didn't want to drown Gu Ruan, but wanted to use this incident to achieve the purpose of giving prestige to the county lord of Fuyou.

They also thought about taking the path of the Dingguo Mansion, but the Tong family said that Old Madam Shen was not very good these days, and she didn't dare to be stimulated. They went twice, but they didn't even see Old Madam Shen's face.

So he must now escort Gu Ruan to apologize, otherwise he is afraid that things will get bigger and bigger.

Gu Lian is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, and is mercenary.

Now Gu Ruan has offended Xiao Jingchen, and the other party obviously forced them to bow their heads and apologize. Xiao Jingchen has never left room for people to do things. If they don't apologize, it is not known what he will do.

has always been fortunate to be remembered by Xiao Jingchen, but none of them have a good end. But no one in the court dared to accuse Xiao Jingchen of anything, because he always had a way to make those people disappear reasonably and legally.
