Chapter 21 What is the Feast?

Zhuo Ruoning accepted it when she saw it, and was about to get up and leave, but Xi Rong pressed her shoulder, "That hairpin is the beloved thing of the county lord of Jiangdu, she is thin-skinned, embarrassed to speak, I will say a word for her, since you have worn it to fulfill your wish, give it back to her, save her worry." ”

Zhuo Ruoning took a breath and looked at the Buddha shrines on the surrounding walls, which were all enshrined in large and small Bodhisattvas. On the lampstand below are ever-bright lanterns, which flicker, reflecting the Bodhisattva's face in light or dark.

"Miss Xi, do you dare to tell me the truth of the matter in front of the Bodhisattva?"

Xi Rong was stunned for a moment, raised her eyes and looked around, her expression changed slightly.

The girls are waiting for Zhuo Ruoning to make a fool of herself as if she is watching a good show, if she returns the hairpin, it is equivalent to admitting the fact of begging; If you don't pay it back, it's even more shameless.

But why didn't Xi Rong speak?

"Just say it, what are you afraid of?" Someone couldn't help but make a noise.

The others also coaxed, Xi Rong glanced at her, and the girl quickly shut up.

"Justice is in the hearts of the people, I'm just passing on a word for the county lord, and you haven't repaid your love." She withdrew her hand.

Zhuo Ruoning grabbed her hand with her backhand: "You framed me, but you keep saying justice, and the Bodhisattva will also be guilty." She glanced at the string of ruby beads in her hand, "After Miss Xi goes back, if you feel any discomfort in your body, remember to dress vegetarianly from now on and be a pure-hearted person with few desires to atone for your sins." ”

"You're cursing me?" Xi Rong was furious and shook off her hand.

The pink-clothed girl next to her looked at her coldly, and she didn't say anything, letting them humiliate Zhuo Ruoning for a while before she put down the cup in her hand.

Her indifferent eyes were full of a sense of lofty dignity, "It's time for the lecture to end, don't miss the Buddha bathing ceremony." ”

Xi Rong stood up indignantly and looked at Zhuo Ruoning condescendingly: "Nanjing is not Pujiang, I can't help you go wild, and you will suffer a little today." ”

She winked, and the others got up and left together.

Zhuo Ruoning felt an alarm bell in her heart, stood up and wanted to leave this place of right and wrong quickly, but the girl in pink stopped her: "You stay." ”

Two stout mothers-in-law came in outside the door, and they blocked the door viciously, Liu Yiyu wanted to come in, but was stopped by them.

"Miss Yu, I took her out after reporting my father's name as a guarantee, please don't hurt her, otherwise I won't be able to pay the errand!" She was so anxious that she was about to cry.

The girl didn't even bother to give her a look, slowly got up, and stood face to face with Zhuo Ruoning. She is half a head taller than the heroine, and she looks even more domineering when she stands up.

Seeing this posture, Liu Yiyu was so anxious that she stomped her feet, lifted her skirt and turned around and ran.

Zhuo Ruoning was wary of Miss Yu, seeing that this girl looked very beautiful, but her eyes seemed to be quenched with poison, judging from her dress and demeanor, her background should not be bad, which made her feel even more strange: "You also want to marry Geng Kan?" Does he have such a big charm? ”

Could it be that there is a problem with his own aesthetics, and he can't see the good of Geng Kan, a peerless baby?

Miss Yu's chin raised slightly, "The purpose for me to see you is different from theirs. ”

Seeing that Zhuo Ruoning was puzzled, she added, "My name is Yu Xueyun, my father is Lian Guogong, and Yu Yizhong, the left senator of the Shandong political envoy, is my uncle. ”

Yu Yizhong, Lian Guogong...... Zhuo Ruoning took a step back and stared at her vigilantly: "What are you going to do?" ”

Her cold gaze turned into a sword of hatred, stabbing from top to bottom: "Because of you, my uncle and my cousins are now locked up in prison, can you imagine how Miss Gongzi, who grew up in fine clothes and jade food, is terrified all day in the cold prison?" ”

Zhuo Ruoning replied vaguely: "When the case is tried, the emperor will naturally give them justice." ”

"You think they still have a way to live?"

Zhuo Ruoning had already calmed down from the initial shock and quickly sorted out her thoughts, "Miss Yu, I am sorry for what happened to your uncle's family. But I'm just a witness to the facts about this case, and you shouldn't put all the blame on me. ”

These words made Yu Xueyun furious, and pointed at her and said, "You still dare to quibble, if it weren't for your mouth, how could the emperor arrest my uncle?" ”

"Your uncle was arrested because he made a mistake, and the subsequent tragedy was also because of his fault, I just told the truth, I didn't target anyone, and I didn't falsely accuse your uncle, it makes no sense for you to blame me."

Yu Xueyun gritted her teeth angrily: "Okay, if you don't admit it, then I don't need to say anything more to you." ”

She glanced at the mother-in-law at the door, and the mother-in-law immediately pounced.

Zhuo Ruoning shouted in fright: "Hey, what are you going to do?" Are you going to kill someone in a temple? ”

"I won't kill you, I just let you open your mouth, don't think about talking nonsense in the future, I'm doing the right thing for heaven, the Bodhisattva will definitely understand."

Zhuo Ruoning's physical strength was wasted, and her arms were twisted by her mother-in-law in three or two clicks, one mother-in-law controlled her, and the other broke her mouth and stuffed pills into it, Zhuo Ruoning struggled desperately and shouted: "If the emperor knows that you retaliate in private, Lian Guogong will also suffer." ”

Yu Xueyun sneered: "There are iron rolls in the Lianguo Mansion, so you don't have to worry about it." Besides, who can testify that I have seen you today? ”

Zhuo Ruoning knew that she had seen it in the museum, and it was issued by the emperor to famous generals to reward them for their contributions to the country and to keep the mansion safe.

Yu Xueyun came prepared, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape today!

Zhuo Ruoning was forced to fill a mouthful of pills, but she couldn't swallow it, and she rolled her eyes in choking. After stuffing all the medicine in her hand, the mother-in-law found this problem, so she turned around and went to find tea. The moment she turned around, she suddenly noticed a person standing in the doorway.

Xu ...... Captain Xu! ”

Yu Xueyun was shocked and recognized that the person was Xu Jinchen, the Jinyi Guard, this kind of thing was bumped into by the Jinyi Guard, I am afraid that it will not be good to deal with the aftermath.

Xu Jinchen's expression was faint, Ruyu's handsome face was full of indifference, as if he was not surprised by the scene in front of him, he stepped forward and pushed away the two mothers-in-law and slapped Zhuo Ruoning on the back.

Zhuo Ruoning's knees sank and fell to the ground, and the pills in her mouth were all squirted out by this palm.

Xu Jinchen's eyes were quick, he grabbed her arm, and slapped her on the stomach when he lifted it.

Zhuo Ruoning let out a "wow", and vomited the rice cakes and water she ate in the morning.

This series of actions flowed smoothly, and Zhuo Ruoning was at his mercy like a rag puppet. Before she could stand firm after spitting, a warm cup of tea was handed to her mouth, and Xu Jinchen's voice sounded above her head: "Rinse your mouth." ”

Although it was a cold voice, it was like a Sanskrit sound when it fell into Zhuo Ruoning's ears. She obediently took a sip of water from his hand, spit it out, then turned around, threw herself into his arms, and suddenly broke down and cried.

Xu Jinchen didn't expect this to happen, he opened his hand, leaned back with his upper half, and his face was full of rejection, "Miss Zhuo, you let go." ”

"You hit me!" Zhuo Ruo howled, and the cry shook Xu Jinchen's chest to a buzz.

"I'm here to save you, if you don't spit it out, the medicine will burn your throat." Xu Jinchen's face gradually became ugly, and he pushed it twice, but he didn't push it away.

Yu Xueyun next to him saw that the matter was broken, he was afraid and angry in his heart, and said to Xu Jinchen: "Captain Xu, you'd better not interfere in this matter, otherwise the county lord will be angry." ”

Xu Jinchen glanced at her with some surprise.

Yu Xueyun hurriedly said: "She stole the county lord's beloved hairpin, and the county lord asked me to teach her a lesson......"

"You talk nonsense!" There was a loud shout outside the door, Geng Kan hurried over with his helmet, and when he entered the door, he saw Zhuo Ruoning's hair scattered, tears and dirt. With a dirty face, buried in Xu Jinchen's arms and crying, he was stunned.

"The Zhuo family is a scholarly family, the family style is very strict, and the girls of the Zhuo family will not steal!"

"I didn't steal, they framed me, they encouraged me to make limericks, knowing that I didn't do well and rewarded me with hairpins, and then said everywhere that I begged for hairpins and stole her hairpins, why was she so bad! Woowoo woo ......"

The faces of everyone present changed suddenly, Geng Kan glanced at Xu Jinchen's face, stepped forward to tear Zhuo Ruoning away from him, and warned in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Yu Xueyun showed a smug smile after being shocked, and said to Xu Jinchen: "Captain Xu heard it with his own ears, Zhuo Ruoning insulted the county lord, and his crime should be punished." ”

Geng Kan hurriedly said: "Captain Xu, I miss my body suffering from hysteria, and I can't count the nonsense. ”

Zhuo Ruoning shook her body, and Geng Kan hurriedly supported her and let her lean in the crook of her arm.

At this time, Zhuo Ruoning was already crying unconsciously, and cried while sobbing: "I really make friends with them...... But they lied to me...... Partnering to bully me...... I don't like it here, I want to go home, woo woo woo ......"

Liu Yiyu just ran to inform Geng Kan, and when she came back, she was ashamed for a while, and wept: "Ah Ning, I'm sorry, I thought they were just joking." ”

Yu Xueyun pointed at Zhuo Ruoning and said to Xu Jinchen, "Didn't Captain Xu arrest her?" Do you want to protect the Zhuo family? ”

Xu Jinchen dusted his sleeves indifferently: "Jinyiwei was ordered to arrest Lian Guogong and his family, Miss Yu, please come with me." ”

Yu Xueyun thought she had heard it wrong: "What...... What do you mean? ”

"The Yu brothers intend to murder the prince, and the Lianguo Mansion has been sealed, Miss Yu, please."

The two mothers-in-law were dumbfounded, but they didn't expect Jinyiwei to come to arrest them, and hurriedly asked Yu Xueyun: "Girl, what should I do?" ”

Yu Xueyun's face turned pale, and he pretended to be calm: "There is an iron roll in the Lianguo Mansion......"

"The iron scroll was given by the emperor, and it is naturally up to the emperor to decide how to use it." Xu Jinchen didn't say anything more, and stood outside the door waiting for her.

Yu Xueyun was like being struck by lightning, her shoulders trembled like chaff, and she staggered out.

Geng Kan shouted from behind: "Captain Xu, the Zhuo family is a scholarly family, and the old lady Zhuo is an upright person and a role model for scholars in the world, and I hope you will raise your noble hand." ”

Xu Jinchen didn't stop and didn't respond, I don't know if I heard this.

Zhuo Xiao and Zhuo Ruozhen soon arrived, and when they heard what had happened, Zhuo Xiao said angrily: "Yu Xueyun is so vicious. ”

Geng Kan sighed: "I can't be arrogant anymore." ”

Zhuo Xiao thought about it, the emperor ordered the second emperor Sun to investigate the case of Yu Pei, but bypassed him and directly ordered Jinyi Wei to seal the Mansion of Lian Guo, making it clear that he was going to Gong Lian Guo, regardless of whether he participated in the case of sending Yu Pei or not, the emperor wanted to punish him, and the Mansion of Lian Guo was more auspicious.

"I have to clean up for my fifth sister, otherwise if I go out like this, I will be seen gossiping, and my mother will be frightened." Zhuo Ruozhen said worriedly.

"The fourth sister is thoughtful, you sort out the fifth sister, this matter should not be publicized, everything will be talked about when you go back."
