Chapter 116: Theft of Letters
Ruan Cailing walked from Sihua Building to Ruan Qi's study, and saw Jiang Chen coming over halfway, Jiang Chen leaned sideways and said in Ruan Cailing's ear, "Miss Cousin is back." ”
She looked up at the hour, it was still early, maybe Shen Yunyun was going out to relax.
After she got married, she didn't have such a good scenery, and the outside world was nothing to Shen Yunyun, people who started a family, mainly the Cheng Lin family, would not take Shen Yunyun seriously, is there any use for such a young lady?
What's more, with Cheng Xuan's help, there is nothing good about the eldest young master of the family, just to send it away.
"Okay, I see, you go and rest."
Walking into Jinse Pavilion and passing by the bedroom, but did not see Ruan Su's figure, Ruan Cailing called Yue'er to ask, only to find out that Ruan Su's went out and left in the morning.
"Mother is also out of the house?" Ruan Cailing was puzzled.
What the hell is Daddy angry about? Is it because my mother didn't take him with her when she went out? But my mother also went out to chat with other ladies because my father was not at home recently!
Forget it, I don't want to.
Having arrived at the door of the study, Ruan Cailing took a deep breath, and just as she was about to knock on the door, Ruan Qi's slightly angry voice came from inside, "Come in." ”
Ruan Cailing stuck out her tongue before pushing the door in.
Judging from her years of experience covering for her brother, Dad must be angry, and this voice can be heard.
"Daddy."
Entering the study, Ruan Qi sat behind the desk with one hand on the table, and the other hand on the arm of the chair, Ruan Qi seemed to be pondering something, after Ruan Cailing came in, his eyes remained the same, just nodded to the position next to Ruan Cailing to sit down.
Ruan Cailing walked over in her heart and asked Qingrui to wait at the door.
So, what the hell is wrong with Dad?
It was almost an hour to come in, so Dad was silent and didn't speak, quietly looking at the scrolls on the table, the things on the table were all cleaned up, even the brush had not been stained with ink, and it was as clean as the paper laid in front of Ruan Qi.
Ruan Qi's hand knocked on the table, and said coldly to Ruan Cailing, "Someone has come to my study. ”
"What?" Ruan Cailing almost didn't understand the meaning of Ruan Qi's words.
Every day, people will come to Ruan Qi's study to clean up, but usually Yue'er or Jingshu, these two people are the people who have been with Ruan Su's side for the longest time, Ruan Qi and his wife only believe in them, and although Uncle Fan has been in Dingguo Mansion for the longest time, he is a big man after all, and he can't do this kind of meticulous work of cleaning things.
As soon as Ruan Qi got busy, there was a mess on the table, Ruan Su couldn't stand it, and it was not good to clean it up in person, so as not to see something that he shouldn't see.
I can only let Jingshu and them come.
Even if they saw the holy decree, they would not have any ripples in their hearts.
But soon, Ruan Cailing understood what Ruan Qi wanted to express.
Some unfamiliar people have entered Dad's study, and it seems that they have touched Dad's things.
"Lost something?" Ruan Cailing asked vigilantly.
Ruan Qi shook his head, although he didn't lose anything, but everything on the table had traces of being turned over, and the man carefully cleaned up the mess after looking for it, but all kinds of traces left by Ruan Qi were gone.
Generally speaking, both Jingshu and Yue'er knew Ruan Qi's rules and would leave traces in various small corners so that Ruan Qi could observe whether anyone had sneaked into the study and would not make such a simple mistake.
The letters between him and Gu Yu were hidden in the dark groove under the chair, but even the secret groove was turned over, and the letters were only put back after reading them.
This person was very vigilant and tried not to leave any traces of her visit, but it was precisely because she didn't understand Ruan Qi's caution that she left her feet.
This kind of thing, if Ruan Xuchen was here, Ruan Qi would definitely discuss it with Ruan Xuchen, but now that Ruan Xuchen is not here, Ruan Cailing is the only one at home, besides, Ruan Qi feels that there are some things that Ruan Cailing should also be involved in.
After all, she wanted to be with Gu Jinxi, and if she achieved a positive result, it would be inevitable in the future.
"My letters with King Xuan have been turned over, and they are all secret letters." Ruan Qi said solemnly.
This time, even Ruan Cailing felt nervous.
Although the relationship between King Xuan Gu Yu and Dingguo Gong Ruan Qi is good, they are all behind people's backs, and they quarrel at every turn in the court, and even the emperor can't coax the kind of fierceness.
It is precisely because of this that the emperor can rest assured that these two important ministers of the court will not do something unfavorable to the court behind his back.
This relationship has been maintained for a long time, and everyone has become accustomed to it, even on the day of the old princess's birthday, Gu Yu and Ruan Qi quarreled when they were still drinking in the main hall, and directly slapped the table and shouted, Gu Yu was grumpy and almost lost the table and left.
And Ruan Qi looked forbearing, but he didn't leave anyone on his lips, and there was smoke above Gu Yu's head.
Ruan Cailing bit her lower lip and realized the importance of the matter, it is best not to say anything in the letter, if someone sees it, he will definitely take the opportunity to review the Dingguo Mansion and the Xuanwang Mansion.
But who will it be?
The Dingguo Mansion is heavily guarded, and there are even big brother's secret guards nearby, it is definitely not easy for ordinary assassins to come to spy on intelligence, as long as someone approaches, they will be discovered by the secret guards, even if they don't stop it, at least it will reach the ears of the big brother.
But the eldest brother didn't say anything.
That means ...... It must have been done by someone from the house!
Suddenly, Ruan Cailing had some clue and a goal, Ruan Cailing glanced at Ruan Qi, "What should not be said in the letter?" ”
Ruan Qi shook his head, he leaned back on the back of the chair, his hands were gripping the armrest, and his left hand patted the armrest casually, "It's just some state discussions, it's not important." ”
Ruan Cailing exhaled a long breath, "That's fine, Dad, don't make a noise about this matter first, and don't tell Jingshu and the others, I'll investigate." ”
Ruan Qi glanced at Ruan Cailing and nodded, "Okay, you act carefully and pay attention to safety." ”
"It's okay, I'll just ask about this little thing."
After reassuring Ruan Qi a few more words, Ruan Cailing got up and left, Qingrui had been waiting for a long time at the door, and when she saw Ruan Cailing coming out with a solemn expression, she also thought that something big had happened, so she took Ruan Cailing's hand and left, halfway through, Ruan Cailing deliberately went around from the backyard to the direction of Shanyun Pavilion to take a look.
Although Shen Yunyun came back, the door was still closed, and no one was allowed to approach at all.
It seems that Tingfei did not show any horses, and Shen Yunyun still believes in Tingfei very much.
That's fine, Ruan Cailing needs Tingfei to marry into a family with Shen Yunyun in order to send back all kinds of news.
After nightfall, a yellow figure quietly left from the back door of Shanyun Pavilion, and the man looked back at his side in two steps, very vigilant, driving quickly in the night, and finally stopped at the door of the ancestral hall of the Dingguo Mansion.
Coming to this place again, Tingfei was still very flustered, but she had done a good job recently, and she didn't do anything to be sorry for the Dingguo Mansion, presumably the eldest lady didn't call her here to kill people again.
She knew that the eldest lady had something she needed to do, and she also needed her to stay by Shen Yunyun's side as an eyeliner, otherwise she would have been killed a long time ago.
It is precisely because of the value of this life that she can survive, for the elusive woman who followed the eldest lady, Tingfei would tremble when she thought of it, and naturally she didn't dare to disobey the eldest lady's will.
The eldest lady also said that after the matter is completed, the eldest lady will allow her to leave Shen Yunyun's side and find a place to live in peace, and will also give her a sum of money to open a small shop to support herself.
Such a deal couldn't be better, Tingfei didn't need to refuse such a tempting deal for the sake of someone like Shen Yunyun.
"Miss." After Tingfei came in, she lowered her head and shouted.
This time, Ruan Cailing was not like last time, sitting here with a lot of anger and staring at Tingfei like a dead person, she just nodded, "Well, Shen Yunyun slept?" ”
"Yes, today the cousin said that she was tired and went to bed early, I mixed some soothing incense in the incense burner, and I slept soundly, and I won't wake up." Tingfei swore that she said.
Ruan Cailing nodded, "Well done, I heard that you went out with Shen Yunyun today?" ”
knew that this kind of thing couldn't hide from the eyes of the eldest lady, and Tingfei didn't hide it, and told the truth.
When talking about the mysterious woman, Ruan Cailing frowned.
She always knew that there was a mysterious person behind Xie Qingyuan and Shen Yunyun, she had always thought that it was the person of the Nine Emperor Princes, but now it seems that it is actually a woman?
What is the deep hatred between this woman and the Dingguo Mansion? Why?
"According to Miss Biao, this person has always cooperated with Gongzi Xie before, and every time Gongzi Xie goes to meet her, but in Gongzi Xie and Miss Biao...... After falling out, he sent the letter to Miss Biao instead, hoping to cooperate with Miss Biao in the future. ”
Ruan Cailing sneered, "It's inevitable." ”
It can be seen from this incident that Xie Qingyuan is ungrateful and kills a donkey, and the woman also knows that Xie Qingyuan is not a person who is easy to grasp, but Shen Yunyun is like this, and people who hate her and the Dingguo Mansion can be controlled.
Especially, Shen Yunyun is still a brainless.
"Do you see the woman's face?" Ruan Cailing asked.
Tingfei shook her head, "No, the woman is wearing a veil, and she can't see her face clearly, but ......"
"But what?"
Tingfei thought about it carefully, gestured with her hands and said, "There seems to be a scar on that woman's face, a very long scar, which can be seen with a veil!" ”
Is it a woman who has a scar on her face and will do light work? Who could it be? What did she want her father to do with King Xuan's correspondence?
Is this man a member of the Nine Emperors?
After Tingfei told everything she knew, Ruan Cailing let her leave, and even Qingrui asked her to go back to rest, while Ruan Cailing went to the attic by herself.
The night was dark, Ruan Cailing hugged her legs and began to think about the relationship between these people.
Could it be that this woman has something to do with the Dingguo Mansion?
"Why are you sitting here in the middle of the night? Just sick and not resting? ”
