??????? As soon as Mrs. Shen saw Cai Qing's shrew-like posture, and then thought of her master who was "eating inside and out" and helping outsiders talk, her well-maintained face showed displeasure. But soon, she was replaced by a gentle, easy-going smile. "It's Cai Qing, you come early in the morning. But what's the matter? If you make such a fuss, Shen Mansion and my aunt and grandmother are afraid that they will not be good people, so let's talk about it when you enter the mansion. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the mother-in-law behind him, and the two mothers-in-law with big shoulders and round waists immediately stepped forward and wanted to forcibly get Cai Qing into the Shen Mansion.

Cai Qing let out another scream, "What are you doing, don't come here!" If I don't go in, if I go in, I'll die, Mrs. Shen, don't take me for a fool, if something happens to me today, so many villagers and elders will be my witness! ”

The crowd began to talk.

"Shen Mansion's aunt and grandmother?"

"You're stupid, aren't you just marrying the princess of Xiang Wangfu?"

"Ah, Princess Xiang is still alive?"

"Princess Xiang has always lived well. It was probably because of some means that Prince Xiang didn't kill her. ”

"This little maid is Princess Xiang's maid, what did she come to Shen Mansion to cry about early this morning?"

"I don't know. But I think it must have something to do with what she was up to. ”

"This Mrs. Shen didn't say a word, and she wanted to take her into the mansion. Don't you have a ghost in your heart? ”

"This little girl is in, she can't really get out."

"Big family, let me tell you, it's common to beat a maid to death like this. This little maid came to the Shen Mansion and made the Shen Mansion lose people, this Mrs. Shen seems to be kind and kind, but she may not be willing to let her go. ”

"What else is there to say!" Immediately, someone in the crowd shouted: "Little girl." Don't be afraid, if something really happens, we will all go to the yamen to testify to you and prove that it was the people from the Shen Mansion who harmed you! ”

"You're crazy!" Someone pulled him, "This is Prime Minister Shen's mansion." ”

"What about the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister's Mansion can bully people casually? Our Da Chu has a royal law, if you are afraid, go farther. The man raised his arms and shouted, "If you don't want to testify to this little girl, leave, and if you want to, stay." They are all big men, and their courage is not as good as this little girl. ”

Naturally, some people left for fear of anger, and there were also "righteous people" like that person who stayed.

In an inconspicuous carriage without an emblem not far away, Ruotang was excitedly holding Zhou Liangyun's hand and asking her. "How much money did it cost to hire these men?"

Zhou Liangyun snorted, "These are all guys in my store, what kind of silver do you want?" Didn't you say that in order to make rational use of resources, you have people under your hands, and you need to spend money to hire them? ”

Ruotang laughed, "That's right." Oh, Mrs. Shen, who was angry early in the morning, had such an ugly face, I really couldn't help it. "The cloth is long and dead.

"Don't say this with this gloating expression, I might still believe that you really don't want to go." Zhou Liangyun's heart skipped a beat, and she silently gave her a roll of her eyes.

Ruotang raised his eyebrows, "Cousin, do you think I'm too ruthless?" ”

Zhou Liangyun was silent for a while, and then said in a deep voice: "No matter how bad the Shen family is, it is also your mother's family, and it is better to have your mother's family to rely on than nothing." I'm worried that your actions have completely angered the Shen family, and from now on, they really don't care about your life or death, what should you do? No matter what, you are the daughter of the Shen family, this cannot be changed. The Shen Mansion is ashamed today, and you will definitely not be able to escape the fate of being pointed out. Xiangwang ...... I have been in the capital for the past few days, and I have heard a lot of his deeds, and he seems to be good to you now, but who can guarantee that he will not change? In case you get angry in the palace in the future......"

"I'm used to being pointed at or something. If I really get angry in the palace, doesn't my cousin still expect the Shen Mansion to get justice for me? Forget it. Ruotang laughed self-deprecatingly: "From the moment Lord Shen wanted to kill me, I didn't think that the people of the Shen Mansion were my relatives. Even if I die in the palace, the people of the Shen family will not ask, believe it or not? By the way, when I first married in the palace, there were also rumors that I was dead, cousin, do you guess, did someone come to the door in the Shen Mansion? ”

Zhou Liangyun couldn't hide her shock: "Someone rumored that you are dead?" ”

Ruotang didn't care, "Yes, the white lanterns in the palace have been hung, but no one from the Shen Mansion has come to the door." For such people, cousin, don't expect me to use my compassion on them, it's too wasteful. ”

Zhou Liangyun looked at her and laughed like she was fine, couldn't help but hold her hand, frowned, and said, "You never said these ......"

"Hey, I'm not mixing very well now, and I don't have much to say about before." Ruotang waved his hand, and couldn't see Zhou Liangyun's self-blaming look, "Don't say it, let's watch the excitement, Cai Qing, this girl is under my tutelage, and her acting skills are getting better and better." ”

That Cai Qing was swinging the fakes of the bottles and cans of Zhucui jewelry to Mrs. Shen one by one, "Mrs. Shen looks at these very familiarly?" These are the dowries of the first lady, after the first lady passed away, Lord Shen asked you to manage the first lady's dowry until the girl got married. Mrs. Shen first accompanied some useless and worthless things. Later, my girl wanted to keep a memory of Mrs. Xian's dowry, and Mrs. Shen gave it generously, but what did you give? If it weren't for the fact that the girl missed her deceased mother a few days ago and asked me to find Mrs. Xian's jewelry, my girl still doesn't know when she will be hidden---- everyone will help me take a look, this pair of jade bottles of mutton fat jade is a whole piece of mutton fat jade that Mrs. Zhou personally bought before Mrs. Xian got married, and let ten craftsmen work for more than half a year to get it. But now, this jade bottle of mutton fat jade has been dropped, and Mrs. Shen casually made a bottle carved from unknown stone to fool my girl. Look, this is a jade bottle? ”

Everyone hurriedly gathered around, and there was a "coincidental" expert who knew jade, took the jade bottle handed over by Cai Qing and looked at it, and said affirmatively: "This is by no means mutton fat jade, but a kind of stone that looks like mutton fat jade." ”

Cai Qing glared angrily at Mrs. Shen, who was trying her best to hold back her anger, and said, "Mrs. Shen, it's not like I'm wronging you. And this South China Sea pearl, I remember clearly, the first lady's South Sea pearls are the size of a thumb, and all the beads are uniform in size, but these you sent to my girl, is this still called South China Sea pearls? ”

She sent the brocade box containing the pearls to Mrs. Shen again, "There are so many fakes, does Mrs. Shen still want me to come out one by one?" ”

"Presumptuous!" Mrs. Shen didn't care about taking her affinity route anymore, and shouted in a deep voice: "The dowry that was carried to the Xiangwang Mansion that day was only sent after the old lady of the Shen Mansion and my lord looked at it. Each of them was given by the Zhou family back then. Are you slandering me now with these fakes that you don't know where to get them? slandered the Shen family, damaged the reputation of the Shen family, and didn't send you to justice, really my Shen Mansion did such a shameful thing! Come on, take the post of the Shen Mansion and send her to the Jingzhao Yamen! ”

Mrs. Shen seemed to be really angry, and she was going to take Cai Qing and send it to the Yamen immediately.

Ruotang in the carriage clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Hey, she admitted that all the dowry was sent to the Xiangwang Mansion." Cousin, go and rescue Cai Qing. ”

Zhou Liangyun glared at her, "I was brought over by you early in the morning to be used as a cow and a horse, I must have owed you a lot of silver in my last life." ”

While complaining, he still got out of the carriage neatly and walked towards the crowd, with an anxious look on his face, "Cai Qing, you dead girl who will cause trouble everywhere!" Early in the morning, what did you come to the Shen Mansion to make trouble? ”

Cai Qing broke free from her mother-in-law's restraint and ran behind Zhou Liangyun, "Shen Fu took a fake to replace the dowry of the first lady and fooled the girl, how can it be just like this?" ”

"Who told you that what the Shen Mansion sent over was a fake!" Zhou Liangyun frowned and said, "I've already passed, my aunt's dowry is all true!" ”

"Huh? That? So what's the deal with these fakes? Cai Qing asked dumbfounded.

"These are all fakes received by the pawnshop, I specially took them to the Xiangwang Mansion to show your master, just to let her pay more attention, don't even tell the truth from the fake. It's good for you, you ran to the Shen Mansion early in the morning to make trouble, if it wasn't for your master's timely discovery, you should go to the yamen to protect you in a while. Zhou Liangyun glared at her, pulled her to Mrs. Shen, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Mrs. Shen, this is all a misunderstanding." My little aunt's dowry is indeed no problem, but this girl misunderstood ---- Caiqing, and she apologized to Mrs. Shen quickly. ”

Cai Qing tugged at the corner of her clothes and lowered her head, looking faceless, "Mrs. Shen, I was wrong, you have a lot, for the sake of my girl's face, just spare me." ”

"Yes, Mrs. Shen, after I go back, I will make sure that her master will be punished, and she will be punished well, so that she can remember it for a long time." Zhou Liangyun smiled again and bowed to the lively crowd and smiled: "This is really a misunderstanding today, let everyone see the joke, please disperse, don't gather here." ”

Seeing that the plot had come to such a big reversal, everyone couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and Zhou Liangyun's buddy left obediently. The other people saw that there was no excitement, and they also left in twos and threes.

Mrs. Shen glared at Cai Qing angrily, and said gloomily: "Forget this matter today, if someone comes to the Shen Mansion another day and slanders the Shen Mansion for anything valuable, I will never follow it!" ”

After that, without saying a word of politeness, he turned around and entered the Shen Mansion and ordered someone to close the door.

……

Cai Qing's trouble in the Shen Mansion was naturally spread quickly under the hype of Ruotang and Zhou Liangyun. For a while, everyone talked about Cai Qing's stupid girl as a joke.

Of course, what others regarded as a joke fell on the ears of King Jin, which was tantamount to thunder in the sky.

He went to Meng Lanxuan angrily, and his gloomy face was almost dripping.

Shen Ruolan had just finished arranging the housekeeping in the house, and was closing her eyes and pretending to sleep, when she heard that King Jin was coming, she got up happily and wanted to go into the house to change her clothes.

"Niangniang, the slave maid saw that the prince's face was not very good." Yumo reminded her in a low voice.

Shen Ruolan didn't take it seriously, and laughed: "I heard that Princess Guoan's face was swollen into a pig's head, and the prince rested with her last night, but I think I must be in a bad mood." So I have to dress up better, and the most important thing is to make the prince feel comfortable. ”

As soon as she entered the back room, the angry King Jin had already killed in front of her, Shen Ruolan saw his red eyes and angry appearance, and only then did she realize that something was wrong, "Lord Wang......"

"Get out of here for this king!" King Jin reprimanded Yumo and Xu Mama and the others sharply, and before the maid in the house withdrew, he unceremoniously threw Shen Ruolan, who was about to step forward and pull his sleeve, into the chair, "Slut, you dare to deceive this king!" ”

Shen Ruolan sat down in the chair, she was already delicate, and she was hit by King Jin so mercilessly, her head and arms hurt. At this time, he didn't care about the pain, and looked at King Jin with tears in his eyes: "What's the matter, prince?" Lan'er loves you with all her heart, how can she deceive you? Did you hear any gossip somewhere? Lord Wang, what kind of person is Lan'er, don't you know yet? How can you believe the words of outsiders, but not believe Lan'er's heart for you? ”

After that, tears fell in strings, and a look of aggrieved hatred that he couldn't be killed to prove his innocence.

King Jin didn't relent at all this time, sneered, stepped forward and clamped her delicate and small chin fiercely, his eyes full of anger stared at her frightened look, "Slut still dares to lie!" Zhou's dowry has long been sent to the Xiangwang Mansion, isn't it? You still dare to lie to this king, believe it or not, this king killed you slut! ”

If it weren't for Zhou's dowry, how could he marry her and enter the door! If he hadn't married her and entered the door, how could he and Fleur have come to such a point! It's all this slut, she dared to deceive him, damn it!

Shen Ruolan looked at the crazy burning flames in King Jin's eyes, and the severe pain of her jaw almost being crushed, made her really scared, and knelt at King Jin's feet, and pleaded with tears in her eyes: "Lord Wang, Lan'er didn't mean to deceive you. Lan'er is all about you, dreaming of being able to solve your problems. Lan'er is hiding it from you, and she is afraid that you don't want Lan'er because of this...... If you don't want Lan'er anymore, how can you let Lan'er live! ”

She hugged King Jin's legs, and tried to raise the pitiful little face of Pear Blossom and Yuchu, her eyes were full of infatuation and admiration, "Lord Wang, Lan'er's dream in this life is to marry you." Lan'er is afraid, I'm afraid you don't want Lan'er...... You can rest assured, Lan'er knows that Zhou's dowry is very important to you, and Lan'er will find a way to get all those dowries back. Lord Wang, do you believe in Lan'er, is it okay to believe in Lan'er this time? Please, don't be angry with Lan'er...... Woo, Lan'er was wrong, Lan'er really knew that she was wrong. ”

King Jin's angry eyes flashed, and the hand that clamped her chin loosened, "Can you get the dowry back?" ”

Shen Ruolan nodded like pounding garlic, "You believe in Lan'er, Lan'er will definitely be able to get the dowry back." Lord Wang, is it good for you to forgive Lan'er, if you are angry with Lan'er because of this, Lan'er is really better than dead. Now, I'll pack up and go back to the Shen Mansion now, and discuss with my father how to get the dowry back......"

With that, he got up from the ground and went to change his clothes in a panic.

King Jin was silent for a moment, took her hand, and the fire in his eyes gradually extinguished, "Don't be in a hurry at this time." ”

In his rage, he actually forgot that her father was the prime minister of the dynasty. Even if the dowry is temporarily gone, there is still Prime Minister Shen, and he can't lose Prime Minister Shen's support.

"That? Have you forgiven Lan'er? Shen Ruolan looked at him with blank eyes.

I quietly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, fortunately, he still had to take care of his father, otherwise today's matter, I am afraid that it will not be so easy.

Thinking of his gaze that was eager to kill her, Shen Ruolan felt a chill in her heart.

But no matter what, she tried her best to marry into this Jin Palace, and she must not be easily abandoned by him.

"That's it." King Jin said with a faint expression, "This king still has something." ”

With that, he turned around and left without hesitation.

Shen Ruolan stared at his fading back, reached out and stroked his jaw, which still had residual pain, and changed her weak face to a calm and frightening look.

Yumo and Mama Xu stumbled in.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, are you okay?" Yumo looked at her with a scream: "God, your jaw is swollen." ”

"What a fuss!" Shen Ruolan frowned and scolded, "Why don't you go and get me some ice to cool down!" ”

Yumo panicked and went to get the ice.

Mama Xu stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Niangniang, do you want to invite the imperial doctor to take a look?" ”

"Not necessarily." Shen Ruolan said lightly, "Mama, you ask people to go back to the Shen Mansion to see what happened." ”

The matter of Zhou's dowry could not have suddenly erupted like this.

The person sent to the Shen Mansion came back soon, Shen Ruolan listened to her mother-in-law's reply expressionlessly, and for a long time, her pupils full of cold shrank slightly, "Shen Ruotang!" It's Shen Ruotang again! ”

……

Ruotang did something very happy, and he was in a bright mood all day.

It wasn't until Zidai begged to come to the Changchun Pavilion that she knew that she hadn't been to the palace since the last time Lu Zhengqing ran away in anger. Now that Concubine Deng's medicine has been used up, but Lu Zhengqing can't be found, so she has to ask Ruotang to come here.

Ruotang originally asked Zhou Liangyun, after all, she regarded Lu Zhengqing as a friend, if Zhou Liangyun beat her up, she was really sorry not to go. But no matter how she asked, Zhou Liangyun refused to say what happened to Lu Zhengqing in the end, and when she asked in a hurry, she simply sank her face, so that Ruotang didn't dare to ask anymore.

But now, Lu Zhengqing is actually missing!

Ruotang was shocked, and hurriedly asked Cai Qing to inform Zhou Liangyun, and sent someone to find the inn where Lu Zhengqing was resting.

Zhou Liangyun and the people sent out arrived at the palace on their front and back feet.

Lu Zhengqing no longer lives in the original inn, and after asking around, no one knows where he went. But Xiao Ding was still there, so the man brought Xiao Ding back.

When Zhou Liangyun came in, Ruotang was asking Xiao Ding, "When did Dr. Lu disappear?" ”

Xiao Ding cried and mourned, secretly glanced at Ruotang, who was dignified in fancy clothes, and thought that he had joked with her before, he was a little scared, and stammered: "Xiaomin? Is Xiaomin going to kneel down and talk back? ”

"What are you kneeling for," Ruotang glared at him, "Could it be that if I change my clothes, you shouldn't be Ah Tang?" ”

Xiao Ding's legs were weak, and he almost knelt down, and said timidly: "But? But you're a princess. ”

"Ah Tang is also me." Ruotang also knew that it would be difficult for Xiao Ding to get along with her as much as before for a while, so he sighed and said, "Let's not talk about this first, you tell me first, how long has Doctor Lu been gone?" ”

"I went out of the palace that day, and I had a few words with the girl of the Zhou family halfway, and asked Xiaomin to go back to take care of Ah Da and them first, and Xiaomin went back. Unexpectedly, Dr. Lu didn't come back that night, and he stumbled back the next morning, as if he had seen a ghost, and his clothes were worn backwards. He shut himself up in the house and forbade me to disturb him. I just thought he was unwell, but when I brought him food at noon, I found that Dr. Lu was not in the room. Xiao Ding scratched his head and said with a crying voice, "Xiao Min doesn't know where he went, these days Xiao Min has looked for all the places where Dr. Lu may go, but he can't find it...... Is Dr. Lu already dead? ”

As he spoke, he pouted and wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry.

Ruotang glanced at Xiao Ding with a headache, and then looked at Zhou Liangyun, who had been silent since he came in, and didn't know what he was thinking, rubbed the corners of his forehead, and asked Cai Qing to coax Xiao Ding to go down first, before looking at Zhou Liangyun, "Cousin, did you forget to tell me something?" ”

Zhou Liangyun raised his head, and there seemed to be fire in Qi Yan's eyes: "This coward doesn't look like a man!" ”

Ruotang looked at her in horror and asked cautiously, "Cousin, can you tell me what you are doing with Doctor Lu...... What happened to him? ”

Zhou Liangyun sat beside Ruotang and let out a long sigh, "I'm just a powerless woman, what else can I do with him." He? He was drunk, and I didn't know where he lived, so I sent him to the nearest inn. Who knew that the nerd's wine was not good at all, and he was going to kill and commit suicide in one night, and the whole inn had an opinion. I watched him all night, and I got annoyed, so I simply knocked him unconscious, and he vomited dirty. I...... Okay, that's a bit inappropriate, but I really can't stand it, and I don't have a maid with me, so I ----"

Zhou Liangyun is a girl's family in the end, no matter how bold and reckless she is, she can't say some words, but seeing Ruotang staring at her with a shocked face, she felt very embarrassed by her weak heart, weak air or something, so she simply slapped the table and said angrily, "I helped him take off his dirty clothes, and kindly fed him water, but after being troubled by him all night, I was also very tired, and somehow I fell asleep next to him." The next day the idiot woke up, saw me, and saw that he had no clothes on him, and he looked sad and indignant, and before I could explain anything, he ran away crying, and I wanted to catch up and explain, but I lay on my stomach all night, and my leg was numb. By the time I chase him out, that nerd will be gone! ”

Ruotang was dumbfounded when he heard this, "He? Crying and running out? ”

"Not really!" Anyway, the most embarrassing part was said, and Zhou Liangyun no longer covered it, "As if I did something to him?" Please, he's a big man, even if he suffers, I'm more at a loss! He still dares to make trouble for me to disappear, wait until I find him, and see how I clean him up! ”
