"What do you say? Who wants to see me? ”

Shen Yunyun didn't hear clearly, and thought that there was something wrong with her ears.

The first rumor holding the tray said, "The son-in-law of the Pingwang Mansion, Lord Xie sent an invitation to ask you to have a tea banquet in the Baihua Building tomorrow." ”

Baihualou!

Generally speaking, everyone who drinks tea, watches operas and listens to music goes to Yanhualou, but everyone knows that Yanhualou is Ruan Cailing's industry, and a room full of people are Ruan Cailing's.

If the two of them go, they will definitely be discovered by Ruan Cailing's people, and everything they say will be overheard.

Looking at the capital, it can be regarded as a funny place, except for the Yanhua Building, which is the Baihua Building.

Baihualou has only been open for two years, and the business is also hot, different from the elegance of Yanhualou, there are only storytellers in Baihualou, and there are no even singing operas and songs, which are clean.

But at this time, what does Xie Qingyuan want to see her do?

Is it because of the poisoning of the border city?

"Oh, I see." Shen Yunyun answered, threw the invitation on the table casually, and did not pause in the action of building flower branches.

Tingfei on the side glanced at the light blue invitation on the table, and asked suspiciously, "Gongzi Xie hasn't seen Miss for a long time, why do you propose to meet Miss at such a time?" ”

"What else can it be, Xie Qingyuan didn't see me because he felt guilty, and now he sees me the same, a person like him, he will only think about himself, I feel a little sorry for the condensation left in Fengyue Tower."

Speaking of Condensation, Tingfei said to Shen Yunyun, "I heard that some time ago, Condensation sent someone to secretly send a letter out, and someone followed it, saying that it was delivered to King Ping's Mansion. ”

"To Xie Qingyuan?" Shen Yunyun paused her hand and looked sideways at Tingfei.

Tingfei shook her head, "No, it was sent to the county lord of Anyang." ”

Click.

The scissors in her hand cut off the flower branches, and Shen Yunyun was stunned for a moment.

Ning Lu sent a letter to Ji Jingyan's hands? Is this not wanting to live?

But that's not right! According to the arrogant and domineering character of the county lord of Anyang, if he knew the relationship between Ning Lu and Xie Qingyuan, how could Ning Lu still live until now? And it seems that Ji Jingyan didn't poke out the matter of Xie Qingyuan and Ning Lu, otherwise it would have been a storm in the city now.

She is a young lady, born as a county lord, with fine clothes and food, and has never suffered the slightest grievance.

It's different from people like them who have had nothing since childhood.

Shen Yunyun sneered, "Seeking his own death, it is estimated that Xie Qingyuan doesn't know yet, just after Ming'er saw Xie Qingyuan, give him a reminder, in the end, it is his wife, even if it is dead, it is best to die at his hands, otherwise how can you be willing?" ”

Ruan Cailing and others arrived at the Beiyun Wharf in the capital in the afternoon, when the sun was scorching.

I saw someone waiting from afar, Ruan Cailing thought it was my father and mother coming, but after a closer look, it didn't look like it.

"It's Uncle Fan."

The sun was hanging outside, and they didn't want Ruan Su's to bask in it.

"Miss Shizi, you're back!" Uncle Fan didn't know how long he had been waiting with an umbrella, and the boat gradually approached the dock before Uncle Fan laughed.

"Uncle Fan, why are you still here to pick us up!" Ruan Cailing was helped out of the boat, and she felt that Uncle Fan's palms were sweaty.

Jiangnan is rainy weather, and the capital is always a scorching sun, Rao is not yet summer, but it is much hotter than Jiangnan.

Uncle Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "It's that Mrs. can't wait, saying that the young lady is coming back today, let's pick it up!" ”

"Mother, really...... Let's go, go home! ”

Ruan Cailing turned back to Gu Jinxi and said, "Then you go back to the palace first, no matter what happens, meet tomorrow in Yanhua Building." ”

Gu Jinxi nodded, "Okay, my mother-in-law must have missed you since I haven't seen you for so long." ”

"Okay."

After returning to the Dingguo Mansion, Ruan Sushi took Ruan Cailing's hand and said for a long time, asking her how she was in Jiangnan, whether she was used to it, whether she was sick or not, which made Ruan Cailing cry and laugh, how weak her body was?

Going out to play can still make my father and mother worry like this.

But Ruan Qi was not there.

"Your father recently had some things to deal with with the yamen in the suburbs, and he left before dawn, and he hasn't come back yet, but he knows that you and Chen'er are back today, and they should go home as soon as possible." Nguyen Su Thi said.

Ruan Cailing nodded, and the yamen of the suburban county?

After a short rest in the front hall, Ruan Cailing and Ruan Xuchen returned to their respective courtyards, the maids had already gone back to pack their things, and Ruan Cailing went around the garden to Sihua Building alone.

"Is there any big news in the capital that Jiang Chen is most jealous of?"

Upstairs, Qingrui was packing up her underwear, and the others were putting out the things she bought, giving them away and using them for herself, all of which were classified.

This time, Jiang Chen was kept at home, mainly to protect the safety of Ruan Su and Ruan Qi, and on the other hand, to let him pay attention to the movements in the capital.

Half of the letters sent to them recently were sent by Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen said, "I just got the news that Master Xie and Miss Biao met in Baihualou, and they should still be there at this time." ”

Did these two meet?

Ruan Cailing was stunned.

She tilted her head and glanced at Jiang Chen, "Why?" Who came up with it? ”

"There is news from Chengfu that Master Xie gave Miss Table an invitation, and seriously invited Miss Table to Baihualou for a tea banquet, and Miss Table went to the banquet without thinking much about it." Jiang Chen said.

Did you not think much or did you think too much?

"Send someone over and watch the dots."

"Yes."

After Jiang Chen left, Ruan Cailing was still sitting in the flower hall downstairs, her fingers tapping lightly on the table, but her eyes looked at a flower and plant in the distance, as if she was thinking about something.

Qingrui, who had sorted out her things, saw Ruan Cailing sitting in the flower hall in a daze at a glance.

"Miss, what are you thinking?" Qingrui asked.

Ruan Cailing came back to her senses and glanced at Qing Rui, her eyes were deep, "You said that Xie Qingyuan and Shen Yunyun met, what will happen to them?" ”

In fact, there is an answer in her mind, but it needs to be confirmed.

"Let's go, let's go to the attic and rest for a while."

Facing the ancestral tablet, in fact, Ruan Cailing's heart is safe, at least in this life, she is no longer at the mercy of others, nor has she been deceived by people like Xie Qingyuan, she knelt in front of the tablet, it can be said that she did it.

Even if she came to this point, her hands were covered with blood, but in order to protect the people around her, she was not afraid.

Ruan Cailing had a knee injury and couldn't kneel for a long time, and after the incense, Qingrui helped Ruan Cailing get up.

Before he could stand firmly, Yue'er's voice came from outside.

"Miss, it's not good! The old man was assassinated in the suburbs! ”

Stumbling under her feet, Ruan Cailing almost fell to the ground, so she hung Qingrui to support her, which stabilized Ruan Cailing's body, Ruan Cailing spread panic, looked at Yue'er in a hurry to push open the door of the ancestral hall, and knelt down in front of Ruan Cailing.

"The master has been assassinated!"

Ruan Qi was assassinated on the way back.

The news soon spread to King Xuan's mansion, Gu Jinxi went home to first greet his father and mother, and then went to the old princess's courtyard to say goodbye, and then accompanied the old princess to have tea before leaving.

was reading the recent news in the study, and when he heard the news of Ruan Qi's assassination, he hurriedly put down his pen and rushed to Gu Yu's study.

"Father!" Gu Jinxi pushed open the door and shouted Gu Yu.

Gu Yu also seemed to have received the news of Ruan Qi's assassination, his brows were tightened, and when he saw Gu Jinxi coming in, he raised his hand to signal Gu Jinxi to be quiet.

"I already know, there is news from the Dingguo Mansion that Ruan Qi has been sent back, but his life is in danger, and their palace doctor is not in the capital, and the emperor also knows about it at this time, and sent the imperial doctor over."

But the doctor of the Tai Hospital, could it be Mu Yichen's person?

Who is doing it this time?

"It must be about the salt tax." Gu Yu turned sideways, looked at Gu Jinxi and said, "Someone can't wait!" ”

There are too many people involved in the salt tax, Gu Yu and Ruan Qi both know that it is a dangerous job, but there is no way, the emperor asked them to check, they can only take orders, maybe the emperor didn't expect that the person who did it would be so fast, how long has it been?

"Go and take a look, you and Ling'er are engaged, speaking of which, Ruan Qi is also your future father-in-law, and it's normal for you to care about it now."

Looking at Gu Jinxi's expression, he knew that he couldn't wait to rush to the Dingguo Mansion immediately, Gu Yu didn't say much, and let Gu Jinxi go.

Gu Qushi looked at his son's back, a little worried.

"Don't you know your son? A whole heart is on the girl of Ruan Qi's family! Where is he in a hurry to see Gu Yu, he is worried about Ling'er's situation. "Gu Yu's safety is in danger of Gu Qu's.

"I know, that's why I'm more worried!" Ling'er's heart I know, my mother also gave her a string of eighteen sons, do you think my mother is giving it to play? ”

Gu Yu and Gu Qu knew about this from the beginning.

But about Ruan Cailing's personality, even if they don't hear about it from others, they also know it, and at the beginning, Gu Qu felt that at least such a girl would not be bullied by others, and she could afford to be the future princess Xuan.

But gradually, Gu Qu was a little worried.

After a long time, will a person's ruthlessness endanger the people around him?

But Ruan Cailing is really good to Gu Jinxi, Gu Qu has always kept this worry in his heart, and has never mentioned it to Gu Jinxi.

That's what happened.

Ruan Cailing will never let the person who hurt Ruan Qi go unpunished, if Ruan Qi is fine, maybe it's okay, she may only be hostile to one person, but if Ruan Qi is dead......

Whoever has anything to do with it will suffer.

If Ruan Cailing really went crazy, she wouldn't care what kind of prince the person behind her was, and those who harmed her family were all accomplices, and none of them could escape.

Therefore, Gu Qu also hopes that Ruan Qi is safe and sound.

Gu Yu said, "Don't worry, the children have grown up, they know what to do, besides, isn't Jinxi by Ling'er's side, he will never watch Ling'er walk into the abyss." ”

"I'm afraid, your son is too indulgent!"
