Chapter 172: Investigation
"Son, my mother is such a son as you, and the Rong family is also a son like you, what are you like since you were a child, how can my mother not know, those people just like to play with right and wrong, jealous of my son's excellence, and slander my son with such inferior means, so that my son could have been the master of the court back then, but now it is so difficult to say that the relatives are so difficult, those villains behind them, the mother will find out one day, and when they find out, the mother will definitely go to the Gyeonggi Yamen to sue them."
When Rong Ruochen heard this, his eyelids jumped.
"Mother, this topic is far away."
"That's right, I saw that my mother forgot to tell you the business as soon as she was happy. Mother, I don't just listen to what others say and believe it, and I won't miss my son's lifelong happiness. This, a few days ago, your mother and I followed your third aunt to the Big Buddha Temple to incense, thinking of asking the Bodhisattva for blessing and letting your marriage go smoothly, but I didn't expect to see Mrs. Cao with two Cao girls also came to the Big Buddha Temple to offer incense. Mother, I looked at the second sister of the Cao family with my own eyes, your third aunt said that Cao Yuying, it is good at first glance, gentle and demure, low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye, it looks good, very lovely, although it is a concubine, the status is a little low, but with my son's current situation, it is okay to have such a good girl to match. β
Wang paused when he said this.
"Son, my mother came here today to tell you, my mother is going to marry this Cao girl for you, and I will go to Xiangye's mansion in a few days, can I have time to accompany my mother?"
"Mother, there's no hurry, wait a minute."
Rong Ruochen was calm, he didn't look panicked at all, and he smiled peachy.
"What do you meanβ" Wang couldn't figure out what Rong Ruochen meant.
"The child heard that Cao Yuying had a relationship with the prince of Zheng Guo's mansion, and the two looked at the friendship was not bad, so I asked my mother to wait, and the child had to go to the verify, so as not to lose the child's face when he got it."
As soon as Rong Ruochen's words came out, Wang's face immediately changed.
"Son, what else is there?" Wang hesitated.
"Now the child is not very clear, so the child has to send someone to check the facts, if the mother is really planning for the child, you might as well send a credible person to investigate, lest the mother lose face in front of people."
Rong Ruochen said lightly, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Son, tell your mother, have you already checked that Miss Cao has a problem?"
Wang's intuition determined that Rong Ruochen would not slander his daughter's family who had not left the cabinet.
"What the son says now, the mother must be skeptical, maybe she thinks that the child is playing tricks and deliberately does not want to get married, so it is more appropriate for the mother to send someone to find out about this matter."
Rong Ruochen is as cunning as a fox, how could she make her mother suspicious.
"In this way, my mother really has to act cautiously, and she has to send someone to ask and check."
As soon as Rong Ruochen waited for his mother to leave, he put his finger to his lips and whistled, and immediately four black-clothed people flashed out of the shadows.
"Go, do a good job for Young Master Ben, then Cao Yuying doesn't do everything possible to please her mother and sister, so as not to marry me, the third young master Rong who likes male style, isn't she very yearning for the Zheng Guo Mansion, then the young master will fulfill her and let her marry into the Zheng Guo Mansion, but the prince doesn't have to think about it, then the second young master Zheng is still a good candidate." You say, right? β
Rong Ruochen's eyes narrowed with a smile, and a fox-like sly streamer flashed.
The four men in black who obeyed the order shivered all over their bodies and walked away.
This girl named Cao Yuying, you are asking for a lot of blessings, who told you to offend who is not good, but you offended the third young master of their family.
In other words, the flowers bloom two and each shows a branch.
Rong Ruochen's return to the Rongguo Mansion was like that, and Gong Tianyu's return to Prince Zhong's Mansion was another scene.
Gong Tianyu, who flew off the prancing horse, entered Prince Zhong's mansion, went straight to his own courtyard, asked the housekeeper to take a group of maids and servants back, and summoned the four loyal guards he accepted.
"Go, check it for the master, the Cao family's Cao Yuxiang and Cao Yuying, all of them have been checked for the master. No matter what kind of means you use, you can't miss it at all, from birth to now. Do you understand? β
"Yes, Lord Shizi."
The four guards took the order and left, and the news reached the ears of Prince Zhong Gong Ling and Prince Zhong Princess Rong Wanshu.
"Lord Wang, why did this Brother Yu change his temperament? Suddenly, he cared about the other girls' families, and sent someone to investigate so carefully, so Brother Yu had forgotten the little girl? Rong Wanshu wondered.
"How could you forget, Shu'er has forgotten, your precious son gave us two or four years of cold face because of what happened back then. As soon as the little girl of this Fang family came back, your precious son changed his face and stopped facing the two of us so coldly. Now to investigate the second miss of the Cao family, it is just that the second miss of the Cao family bullied his little girl at the tip of his heart in the girls' school. Gong Ling smiled.
"You can still laugh, Brother Yu put a woman, no, a girl who is still a little girl on the tip of his heart, for such a little girl who doesn't know if she can become a daughter-in-law, I have seen the two of us for four years, speaking of which, I, as a mother, feel very wronged." Rong Wanshu glanced at Gong Ling dissatisfied.
"Isn't this all the men of the Gong family all lovers? If there is a father, there must be a son, and I think back then, I was not the same as Shu'er. Besides, that little girl is still the life-saving benefactor of Brother Yu and her brother-in-law, with that little girl's refusal to climb our loyal prince's mansion, how can she be said to be worthy of Brother Yu. β
Hearing Gong Ling mention the events of the year, Rong Wanshu also blushed.
"Although the little girl of the Fang family has great kindness to our Prince Zhong's Mansion and Rongguo Mansion, it's just that this Brother Yu is too biased, this Sister Ting is his sister-in-law, but I haven't seen him love his own sister so much."
No matter what Rong Wanshu said, she still felt uncomfortable.
"You, I've never seen you care about your son like this before, and you're inexplicably jealous now." Gong Ling laughed. "If this is the case, I, as a husband, will have to eat a big vat of vinegar."
"It's not right, you can also eat your son's vinegar." Rong Wanshu glanced at Gong Ling.
"Shu'er, you and I are each other."
Rong Wanshu couldn't help but laugh when she heard Gong Ling say this.
That's right, why is she so awkward, obviously seeing Brother Yu'er happy, it is the happiest thing for her to be a mother, but sometimes watching him busy for that little girl, she can't help but worry, can't help but feel sorry for her son, and can't help but feel sorry for her son.
This is also the heart of parents in the world.
Gong Tianyu and Rong Ruochen both made arrangements, and after Rong Chaoliang went back, he told Xiang'er about Fang Dongqiao's situation, and then arranged some things, and he was naturally responsible for calming down the turmoil.
He secretly cooperated with the people sent by the Xiangye Mansion to quietly eliminate the dispute between Fang Dongqiao and Cao Yuxiang in the school.
As for Su Lige, after he returned to the princess's mansion, he naturally sent people to make arrangements, but when he went to arrange manpower, I don't know why, the news actually reached the eldest princess Zhou Litang.
"Mama Lin, is the news confirmed? Did Master Ma really send someone to check Cao Yuxiang and Cao Yuying? β
The eldest princess Zhou Litang twisted her eyebrows, put down the scroll in her hand and pondered.
"Do you know why?"
"Back to the princess, I don't know the specific reason. It's just that this matter is very strange, I heard that the eldest lady of Rongguo Mansion is also investigating Cao Keying, and the two families are interested in getting married, originally the eldest lady was very satisfied with Cao Yuying as her daughter-in-law, but for some reasons, the eldest lady of Rongguo Mansion is still hesitating, and the slave maid heard that she is checking whether Cao Yuying has an affair with other men. Mama Lin replied respectfully.
"Also, Rong Chaoliang, the seventh prince of Rongguo Mansion, and Fang Jingshu, the courtier, are also investigating Cao Yuying, of course, the two of them are investigating Cao Yuxiang at the same time."
"Oh? So is there anyone else investigating the Cao sisters? β
Zhou Litang's fingertips scratched the table slightly, making circles.
"Returning to the princess, the other slaves and maids don't know. However, the slave maid has to remind the princess to be careful, although Cao Yuying does not have a beautiful appearance, she is very good at provoking the joy of men. With so many men going around for her, it's no wonder that the eldest lady of the Rongguo Mansion is so hesitant, but when the third son of Rong has such a reputation, I'm afraid I can only reluctantly find a match with a low position. β
What Mama Lin said was that she wanted Zhou Litang to be careful that the horse master provoked Cao Yuying's foxy woman.
Zhou Litang smiled lightly, she didn't care about this, she believed that with Su Lige's temperament and conduct, she would never do this, in fact, she was interested in another one.
"Mama, have you heard the uproar outside lately?"
"The princess mentioned it as the younger sister of the court and the second lady of the Xiangguo Mansion, Cao Yuxiang. It is said that Fang Dongqiao, the sister of the court, was unlucky, and on the first day she went to Kyoto Girls' School, she was targeted by Cao Yuxiang of Xiangguo Mansion, that Fang Dongqiao was from the countryside, and she couldn't control her temper at all, she couldn't bear to be bullied, she was a newborn calf who was not afraid of tigers, and she refuted Cao Yuxiang sharply and offended Cao Yuxiang. It's just that Cao Yuxiang almost knelt to death in the ancestral hall afterwards, and after coming out, she was grounded for three months and punished for copying women's rings a thousand times. That Fang Dongqiao heard that he was only grounded for a month, and he was punished for copying the female ring three hundred times. β
Mama Lin told the eldest princess Zhou Litang all the information she knew.
"But when the princess mentioned this matter, could it be that the princess investigated the Cao family sisters for the Miss Fang family? But at that age, it's too much-not to mention that it's just a country village girl, so the princess doesn't have to worry about it. β
