Rong Changning didn't look at these people, picked up the shortbread next to him and handed it to Xiao Dong behind him. Miss Li next to her saw it, and looked at Rong Changning as if she was deliberately finding fault: "I heard that a while ago, the Bai family had a big lawsuit with Mu Wangfu, and it was put in front of the saint for several days." ”

Another person listened and asked: "I heard that Bai Ninghou is also caught in it, sister of the Rong family, is that the case?" ”

Rong Changning lowered his eyes and was silent, Yue Chu'er was secretly happy in his heart, but he still pretended to persuade: "Didn't you say that you wouldn't tell me about this matter in private?" Let's not guess. ”

"Why not close the door and talk about it?"

"It's not called a rumor, but who can block other people's mouths? Didn't someone say that Second Sister Rong was forced to marry? ”

Yue Chu'er, who was sitting on the side, was very proud in her heart, and looked at those people with a smile on her face, waiting for Rong Changning to make a fool of herself.

"The gentleman is frank, and the villain is a relative. Even if you don't say it, let's not say it, why chew your tongue behind your back? Do you really want to compete with donkeys? ”

The voice of the person who spoke was as cool and crisp as broken ice, so Rong Changning couldn't help but look up, and at a glance he could see that she was the eldest lady of the Chen family in Yong'an Lane, east of the city, Chen Ruying.

As the name suggests, the eyebrows and eyes are heroic. With a rampaging posture on his body, he looked fearless. Rong Changning remembered that she seemed to be slightly older than herself.

I saw her put down the teacup: "Tea is good tea, but it's a pity that I don't understand tea, and I don't understand this person's one-sided style." The rain has also stopped, so I won't bother Madame. ”

After speaking, he got up and saluted Mrs. Yue, turned around and asked Rong Changning: "Sister Rong, together?" ”

Rong Changning accepted her kindness, put down the tea cup in his palm and took Xiao Dong's chin to salute, didn't say a word, and followed Chen Ruying out of the door.

The subordinate held up the oil-paper umbrella and the two stepped down the steps together, glanced at each other involuntarily, Chen Ruying smiled: "Don't pay attention to those people, just treat them as if they are head and tail." ”

Rong Changning stood under the umbrella and saluted solemnly: "Thank you, Sister Chen, for breaking the siege." ”

Chen Ruying waved her hand: "Don't think too much, I'm not for you, I just don't like to listen to their words." Look at whoever gains the power and lean towards whomever comes. In fact, everyone already knew what was the reason why the Bai, Rong, and Mu Wangfu families were mixed together, and seeing that the Bai family of Baining Houfu and Mu Wangfu did not deal with each other, and they were jealous that your two daughters were married well, this is difficult for you. ”

The two walked forward in the rain, and Rong Changning asked, "Aren't you afraid of offending them?" ”

"I don't like to associate with these people in the first place, and I wouldn't want to come if my father hadn't forced me to come to school. Come on, go and call your brother. I'll go first. After speaking, the two lowered their eyes, and after raising their heads, Rong Changning watched Chen Ruying disappear into the rain.

After turning around, Xiao Dong, who was holding an umbrella, smiled: "This Miss Chen is really interesting." ”

Rong Changning didn't say a word, walked to the flower hall and stood at the door to look in, turned around and asked Xiao Dong to find Sannin. Rong Ruo didn't notice that Rong Changning was standing at the door, but Bai Chuxi saw it first by the window, and he didn't care that he was still talking to the people next to him, put down the teacup and slightly signaled to the people next to him, and got up and went out.

walked out in front of Rong Changning: "Rong Er, your name is Rong Ruo?" ”

"Yes." Rong Changning nodded: "The rain is light, it's time to go home." ”

Bai Chuxi looked at Rong Changning's expression suspiciously, and then looked at Yusi, who was not big but not small: "You are in Mrs. Yue, did someone say something ugly?" ”

Rong Changning didn't know why Bai Chuxi asked this, but what those people said was really unpleasant, Rong Changning lowered his eyes and smiled, subtle and helpless: "Who dares?" ”

Looking at the fleeting coldness in Rong Changning's eyes, Bai Chuxi's expression also became cold, biting the corner of his mouth and raising his foot, he was about to walk towards the backyard, Rong Changning grabbed his arm: "What are you going to do?" ”

"I'll go and see if those people's tongues are harder than those of the North Sai Iron Horse!"

Rong Changning didn't know where Bai Chuxi got so angry, and insisted on refusing to let go of his arm: "You may have been wrong, they didn't say anything." ”

Bai Chuxi looked at Rong Changning suspiciously and asked, "Really?" ”

Rong Changning nodded seriously: "Even if those people really say something, how can you be a big man in someone's backyard?" I'm just afraid that the sky will change again, so I hurried back home while the rain was light. ”

"Jiang Ning, go find two sets of robes and call the prince and the little son."

"You don't have to send ......"

Bai Chuxi didn't care what Rong Changning wanted to say, he generously pulled Rong Changning forward, and no matter who was behind him, the entourage and maids around him were watching, Bai Chuxi just wanted to show people, just to block those people's mouths.

But I don't know if Rong Changning's heart is clear about this thought. Love me

The drizzle washed the roof of the car, and the horse's hooves outside the car stepped lightly on the shallow water, Bai Chuxi sent the Rong family's car all the way to the door of the Hou Mansion.

Fortunately, he came back in time, and as soon as Rong Changning stepped into the yard with his front foot, the rain on his back foot became heavier. Xiao Dong took Rong Changning's faded robe and shook it and hung it aside, Xiao Qiu hurriedly brought ginger tea: "The weather is humid and easy to get cold, Miss hurry up and take two sips." ”

Rong Changning sat down and took the ginger tea, looking at the pouring rain outside the window, he couldn't help but worry about Bai Chuxi.

Xiao Dong knelt down and sat aside to clean up Rong Changning's bookcase, and whispered: "Miss, in the past few days, Lu Liyuan has been crying and making trouble, with headaches and qi deficiency, chest tightness and shortness of breath, and the Hou Ye passed the night before. I was in a hurry this morning, so I didn't tell Miss You. ”

"Isn't that expected?" Rong Changning was holding ginger tea, and he had long been accustomed to Xu Yunqiao's trick of crying, making trouble, and pretending to be sick, anyway, his father would go back sooner or later.

The rain stopped in the middle of the night, and the fragrance washed by the rain came with it, but Rong Changning, who was lying on the couch, felt that the smell of rotten meat was even heavier.

The little guy opened his eyes and picked up the hoe to tidy up the flower bed that was damaged by the rainstorm, and just walked in not far away, he stepped on something like a stone, moved his foot and saw that he immediately threw the hoe and took a few steps back, pointing his finger at the thing on the ground and couldn't speak, and the maid who was fetching water next to him couldn't help but shout: "What's wrong with you?" Why don't you get to work? ”

"This ......" The little guy trembled and pointed to something on the ground, the maid took a few steps towards the flower garden with the water basin, and poked her chin again, and the water basin in her hand fell directly to the ground: "Ah-"

Exposed to the dirt were two human fingers. The fingertips were slightly wrinkled, and there was mud between the fingers that had not been washed away by the heavy rain.

……

Rong Changning's door was slammed open by Xiao Dong, and he opened the curtain and knelt down beside Rong Changning's bed: "Miss, I can't sleep anymore!" ”

Rong Changning, who was already half-asleep, was completely awake and got up from the bed: "What's wrong?" ”

The corners of Xiao Dong's mouth trembled slightly, trying to calm himself down: "In the flower garden in the backyard, a person was dug up. ”

"People?! Dead person? ”

"Yes, it's the rough girl in our yard. Yesterday's rain was so heavy that it washed away the flower beds, so when I got up this morning, I ...... Aunt Cen already knew about this, and was about to ask someone to dig it up, and the green bamboo in the west wing also went to see the excitement. No wonder Miss could always smell a putrid smell when she sat in the back window before, and the slave didn't even think about it for a while, Miss was born with a much more sensitive sense of smell than ordinary people. ”

Rong Changning clutched the quilt corner tightly in his hand, Aunt Cen and Lu Zhu knew it, so Lu Liyuan should know. People are buried in the flower garden behind their own courtyard, no matter what, Aunt Xu will definitely bite herself in front of her father, and she will make some noise more or less.

Thinking of this, Rong Changning asked Xiaodong: "How long has it been since you found out?" ”

"Just now, the maid who fetched water shouted and came back."

"You hurry out, take advantage of the fact that there are not many people who know, and run to Chenxizhai. asked Sanren to take the son to Yue's private school, and said that I was too lazy to go today. Tell the three ninjas to move quickly, urge Ah Ruo to move quickly, and within a stick of incense, Ah Ruo must be asked to step out of the door. Tell the three shinobi to tell the coachman to hurry up and come back after watching their car go. ”

"Something big is going to happen? Why don't you call General Bai ......?"

"You can't let outsiders know, this matter will not be simply passed. Try to avoid people when you go, go quickly. ”

"The slave knows." After saying that, Xiaodong hurriedly went out of the back door and took the path to Chenxizhai. Rong Changning got up and changed his clothes and put on his outer robe. Sitting in front of the dressing table, he wiped his face, rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go out to have a look.

Lu Liyuan called Aunt Lin before, maybe this is the big gift that Xu Yunqiao prepared for himself. Rong Changning had already thought that Xu Yunqiao would step on him, and he was looking forward to this day, but he never thought that he would spare a human life.

The plain skirt and blue shirt are silver-haired, and the white jade bracelet on his hand looms under the sleeves. took a step and carried a handkerchief, and walked behind the courtyard with Xiaoqiu without hurrying.

Xiao Qiu was a coward, and followed Rong Changning closely, thinking about the tragic situation of the dead man in his heart, and asked Rong Changning indifferently: "Does Miss have to go to the backyard to see it?" Or let's wait for Hou Ye to come over, right? Even if the young lady went to see the corpse, she couldn't see anything, so she still had to wait for it to come. ”

Rong Changning didn't say a word, just walked back, and as soon as he arrived in the backyard, he saw that the person had been pulled out and placed on the ground, covered with a white cloth.

A few maids next to her were far away and covered their mouths and noses and stretched their necks, wanting to see the excitement but didn't dare, Aunt Cen stood at the front, saw Rong Changning coming, and greeted her directly: "Miss." ”

"Lift."

Aunt Cen looked embarrassed when she heard this, raised her head and looked at Rong Changning as if asking, and Rong Changning looked back at Aunt Cen with an undoubted attitude.

"Miss, this girl is in a miserable death, so don't look at it."

Rong Changning still looked at her and didn't speak, and Aunt Cen had no choice but to raise her hand and ask someone to lift the white cloth. A strong rancid smell penetrated Rong Changning's snort, and the scene under the white cloth made Rong Changning feel nervous, and her stomach churned slightly to reflux acid, but she still held up a calm appearance, and only said one sentence with a frown: "Go and invite father." ”
