"Whoever has the money is in charge."

The fourth wife rarely had time to sit down with Rong Hua to do needlework.

The fourth lady embroidered a small golden unicorn on the red belly pocket.

"Now the second master is at the mercy of the second wife's arrangement." The fourth lady smiled slightly, looking at the flower blossoming screen in Rong Hua's hand.

This screen is to decorate the old lady's house. There are so many people in the family at once, and the old lady is in a bad mood, so Mother Li has the idea that it is better to put the peony painted by the old lady into a flower and a rich screen. Xue Yijuan, Xue Yishuang, and Xue Yiwan will come over to help embroider the screen when they are fine. Although everyone lives separately, they are still a family.

Rong Hua had a quiet smile on her face, the Xue family's separation was even smoother than she imagined.

The fourth master's house is in the east of the city, and the second master lives closer, just on the opposite side of the four alleys, "The second aunt bought the courtyard of the three entrances, and I heard that the two courtyards next to it will be bought together." ”

"No," the fourth lady laughed, "we don't even dare to think about that realm." ”

The house in Shijo Hutong is one of the most expensive areas in Beijing.

The second wife asked Mr. Yin Yang to calculate that it was finally settled in Sitiao Hutong, bought the house and carefully arranged it with great fanfare. The Xue family is separated, and the second room seems to be the most proud.

"The second wife bought the property only because of the Ren family, and the second wife raised her head to look at Rong Hua, "I think this matter is very strange, Ming Li's daughter-in-law wants to reconcile, why do you have to make money for the second wife to buy a house." ”

Naturally, it was the second wife's means, she had already seen Ren Jingchu take out a lot of money, and now that Xue Mingli had gone to the northwest, Ren Jingchu could only listen to the second wife before he left.

The good days of Nose Yishuang and Prince An's son are set for March next year, Rui Qing will go back to the Tao family, and Long Zhengping will soon marry Chunyao. After her birthday, it was a busy time again. Rong Hua wanted to get up and stretch his waist, and the fourth wife stepped forward to help Rong Hua to the ground.

Rong Hua smiled embarrassedly, "I also have to ask the fourth aunt to help." ”

The fourth lady looked at her kindly, "What else is polite between us, when we move Yiwan will let you take care of it." ”

Xue Yishuang is about to get married, and Nose Yiwan wants to stay with Xue Yishuang for a while.

"Now they take care of me" Her belly has grown much faster than in the first few months, "Every time Xue Yishuang and Xue Yiwan come, they carefully stare at her every move, for fear that she will bump into her." ”

Rong Hua and the fourth wife walked in the courtyard for a while, and snowflakes fell outside. The snow is getting heavier and heavier, the two of them entered the house to bake the fire on the charcoal cage, Jinxiu discussed going to the plum blossom dock to get some petal snow to bury under the roots of the tree, the fourth wife smiled and said: "Count me as a share, I still remember the tea I tasted in your house last time." ”

Rong Hua also smiled, "It's all tea that we make indiscriminately, it's good if the fourth aunt doesn't dislike it, it stands to reason that the first snow is good" I also respond to the situation casually. ”

The curtain opened, and the maid Cherry beside the fourth wife walked into the house quickly, saluted Rong Hua and the fourth wife, and said in a low voice: "The third grandmother asked me to come and tell the wife that the person who caused the old man to fall into the water last time has a whereabouts." ”

The fourth lady's eyes widened in surprise, "Where are those people?" ”

Cherry shook her head, "I don't know what to do with it yet" The second wife and the third grandmother just let the fourth master and the fourth wife go over. ”

The fourth lady nodded, "Cherry went into the inner room to get the fourth wife's clothes."

Rong Hua also handed a hand stove to the fourth wife, "How is the fourth aunt going to talk to the second aunt?" ”

It is impossible for the second wife to hand over those people to the fourth uncle easily, and the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt are both scheming people, and if they are not careful, they will suffer in the hands of the second wife.

The fourth wife was silent for a while, "I can only listen to what the second wife says, and finally I have a clue" I always have to ask. ”

Even if they catch someone, they won't tell the truth easily, Rong Hua said: "This kind of person shouldn't have done just this one thing, in my opinion, if the second aunt is willing to tell the whereabouts of those people, you might as well ask the government to come forward." ”

The fourth lady nodded.

After sending off the fourth wife, Rong Hua called Feng Lichang's family, "Go to the second room to inquire where the person who killed the fourth master is, and then send a message to Long Zhengping, so that he can find the person as soon as possible." "Long Zhengping has been looking for these people for so long, and he should be aware of some disturbances. When Rong Hua said this, a trace of doubt arose in his heart, since the fourth uncle fell into the water, they and Long Zhengping spent so much manpower and material resources to find the slightest clue, why did they let Ren Jingchu find it now.

Feng Lichang's family retreated, and Mu Hibiscus said in the outhouse: "Miss Ma is here." ”

In the past few days, the entire Xue Mansion has been busy and dizzy, and Ma Rongyue has just rested, and he will really pick time.

Hibiscus took Ma Rongyue into the house.

Rong Hua set his eyes on Ma Rongyue. The white fox fur cloak, the light blue dark flower jacket skirt, is very plain, and the face is only a layer of light powder, without the slightest domineering appearance, but it seems to be a show of goodwill.

"Young lady." Ma Rongyue bowed upright, holding the handkerchief and standing aside in a regular manner.

Wood 1! I poured a cup of tea for Ma Rongyue with the flowerless cup used by the next person, and brought a brocade pestle.

Mu Hibiscus's hostility, Ma Rongyue didn't seem to mind at all, smiled and talked to Rong Hua for a while, and then changed the conversation, "I don't know what the young lady thinks, the Queen Mother asked me to come to Xue Mansion to serve the eldest princess, I was startled." ”

Ma Rongyue would talk about it so bluntly. Rong Hua smiled slightly, and didn't beat around the bush, "I didn't expect it either. ”

Ma Rongyue opened the food box in front of her, and inside was a plate of small snacks, "This is a small snack in Jinan Mansion, young lady try it" said and raised her eyes, looking earnest, "My family is in Jinan Mansion, and it has been five or six years since I separated my parents, and I am always looking forward to going home in the palace." ”

Ma Rongyue picked up a handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes, "As long as I can go home to my parents, I will be satisfied, and I have no other thoughts." ”

Ma Rongyue came to tell her that she only wanted to go back to Jinan Mansion and didn't want to become the concubine of the Hou Ye.

Rong Hua was not the slightest surprised, the last time she came out of the old lady's house, Ma Rongyue stopped her, she already knew what Ma Rongyue was going to say" "You also know that this is not for me to say, it is the queen mother's reward for you to serve the old lady in the mansion." ”

Ma Rongyue nodded firmly, "I know, I just want to ask the young lady to help as much as possible, if I have the opportunity to enter the palace again, I will definitely go to ask the concubine to intercede with the queen mother." My parents are not in good health, and I want to go back to my bed to serve my filial piety. ”

Ma Rongyue herself was unwilling to be Wu Muhou's concubine, which was much better than her trying to refuse.

But no matter what Ma Rongyue says, others will still think that she is jealous and does not give Xue Mingrui a concubine.

Ma Rongyue stood up and took a few steps forward and whispered in Rong Hua's ear: "When I came out of the palace, Concubine Jing specially asked the female official to call me to speak, so that I could pay attention to Mrs. Wu Muhou's every move. ”

She suspected that Ma Rongyue and Concubine Jing were involved, but she didn't expect Ma Rongyue to say Concubine Jing herself.

Ma Rongyue sat for a while, bowed and went out, Jinxiu said worriedly, "Does the young lady believe Miss Ma's words?" ”

There are some reasons why she doesn't believe it, since Ma Rongyue brought it up first, she tried to help Miss Ma.

Ma Rongyue returned to the room and called the maid beside her, "Avoid the people in Xue Xianli and go to Li's house, and let Mrs. Li find a way to bring the news I inquired about to the palace." ”

The maid nodded in response, "The slave said that the young lady wanted to buy fat powder." Now the house is busy dividing the family, and no one will pay attention to the slaves and maids. Ma Rongyue said: "Don't delay for too long, so as not to make people suspicious." ”

The maid replied and retreated, and Ma Rongyue went directly to Mrs. Xue's room to serve without delay.

In the afternoon, the fourth wife arrived in Rong Hua's room, "It was Ren Jingchu's housekeeper who found out the news, and he also caught someone." The second wife's intention is to beat up and get angry, even if it is over, she will be sent to the government and there is no evidence and nothing can be sued. ”

Rong Hua frowned, "Without evidence, how can you determine that it is the fourth uncle who killed these people?" Xue Chongjie and Long Zhengping didn't see the appearance of those people clearly at that time.

The fourth wife also hesitated, "I'm also worried about this for fear of catching the wrong person, but the person in charge said it clearly, even your fourth uncle can't say it wrong, and others won't know it so clearly." ”

Xue Chongjie will not talk nonsense without basis.

The fourth lady said, "I'm here to ask you for an idea, what do you say about this matter?" ”

No matter what, you can't deal with it privately.

"I still think that I have to send it to the government to ask clearly, but now I have only caught one, and where the rest of the people have gone, we can't ask. As for the evidence, simply let the steward in the hands of the third brother and sister go to the yamen, since the person has already confessed in private, he will definitely be able to confess when he goes to the court" Speaking of this, Rong Hua looked at the fourth wife, "It's just that this can't make the fourth uncle angry." ”

The dignitaries' families are accustomed to lynching, which can save trouble and vent anger, the Great Zhou Dynasty has a law, she doesn't agree with this practice, and just by the words of the manager, it can't be determined that the person is a murderer, and those murderers originally harmed Long Zhengping, Xue Chongjie just jumped down to save people......

The fourth lady pondered for a moment, "I'll go back and talk to your fourth uncle, and he still has to call the shots in this matter." ”

In the evening, Xue Mingrui returned home and Xue Chongjie went to see the arrested murderer.

Rong Hua waited until Xue Mingrui came back, "How about it?" ”

Xue Mingrui frowned, "I think it's the wrong one."

Rong Hua couldn't help but be surprised, according to what Mrs. Fourth said in the afternoon, it shouldn't be wrong.

Xue Mingrui said: "That person is thin as a handful of bones, without any strength, his hands are calloused, not like an idle ruffian, shrinking in the corner and unable to say a complete sentence." ”

How could such a person have the courage to harm others.

, "What do the people in charge of the third brother and sister say?" ”

Xue Mingrui couldn't help but sneer when he thought of the person in charge, "That person can speak well." ”。 ，
