Yesterday, after seeing the man in Xuanyi walking out of the east chamber, Cheng Zhu still felt uneasy. That kind of figure and charm are beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the sentence "Which clan is Xu" can't convince herself.

A thought that she couldn't think of was faintly entrenched in her mind.

If this matter is true, and what she did to Sister Yi is known by that person, the Cheng family is afraid that there will be no good life.

Don't mention anything else for the time being, even Sister Yi'er's complexion, just standing still is enough to attract people's attention. Besides, the eldest princess had been friendly with Qiu'er earlier, and it was unknown when she noticed her.

Cheng Zhushi took a sip of the teacup, the bitter taste flowed into her throat, and she said slowly, "Aunt can't target you, but Sister Yi'er, think about it yourself, what you do can be reasonable?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty's Shengming, the law of soaking in the pig cage has been abolished, otherwise you won't be able to eat tea on my side today," she glanced at Ruan Yuyi's face, and saw that her face was a little pale, so she knew that it was a threat, and smiled secretly.

No matter how gentle and respectful this sister is, she is just a little lady who has not yet reached her twenties.

She turned to say slowly, "Your Ruan family is in decline, and my aunt feels sorry for you, so she allows you to send it to the Cheng family." My Cheng family treats you like a descendant, and what you give you is all fine clothes and food, are you worthy of the Cheng family? ”

She posed as an elder and questioned Ruan Yuyi step by step.

Ruan Yuyi narrowed her eyes and did not speak.

Maybe A-Niang and Cheng Zhu thought they were hiding from her, but she actually knew it clearly.

Dawu has a law that although the dowry money moves into the husband's house, it actually still belongs to the woman. At that time, when she got married, she only brought two dowries, she only thought that A-Niang couldn't take out more, and she understood that it was not easy for the Ruan family now, and she didn't think she could put anything in her beak.

But it wasn't until later that Cheng Zhu taught her the method of taking charge of the backyard affairs, and she inadvertently revealed it. It turned out that at that time, there was still a part of the dowry, which did not come from the surface, but was directly filled into the account books of Cheng Fu.

She was able to marry into the Cheng Mansion because A-Niang almost exhausted the last available financial resources of the Ruan family in exchange for her.

She can't imagine what kind of miserable life A-Niang is living now. It's not that she didn't want to go back and question Ah Niang, but Ah Niang wrote that if she went back without permission, she would not recognize this daughter.

When she received the letter, she clutched the letterhead tightly and wept silently.

She knew that A-Niang was for her good. will volunteer to observe the festival for Cheng Xingqiu, In fact, part of it is A-Niang's admonition, if she leaves, then her A-Niang will give the dowry in vain.

Now Cheng Zhu's face makes her feel cold.

But Cheng Zhu didn't know what she was thinking, but he told her about the past, "It's almost two spring and autumn in a blink of an eye." I think when you first came to Cheng's house, your timid and well-behaved appearance was really very pleasing. ”

Cheng Zhu didn't want to let her go, so after the punishment, he still wanted to give her a date.

As if to say something, she asked, "Do you remember having lunch when you first came?" You touched the chopstick, and the chopsticks were stained with dust, and you had to bend down to pick it up, but it was Mother Li who stopped you and fetched you a clean one, so you gave up. ”

Ruan Yuyi's eyes were very good, as if they were filled with the vast smoke waves of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and when she raised her head from under the table, everyone who looked at her was soft-hearted.

Thinking about it, Cheng Zhu looked her up and down. Now, Sister Yi has changed a lot from when she first arrived, hiding her youthfulness and precipitating a delicate and bewitching charm.

"My aunt really treats you as my daughter-in-law, if you know that you are repentant, you will still be your aunt's good sister, and we will treat this incident as if it never happened."

She paused for a moment, and then added, "If you really like that man, at least tell your aunt his identity, so that I can decide for you whether you are the right person." ”

After laying the groundwork for a long time, she said what she really wanted to ask.

Ruan Yuyi raised her eyes to look at her, and her eyes seemed to contain morning dew, which made people feel extraordinarily sincere, "Yuyi has never doubted that her aunt is good to Yuyi." It's just that the man came from a humble background—"

Before she could say a word, she pursed her lips and eyes, pretending to be ashamed.

Although based on his words and deeds, it can be seen that he is at least a foreign surname county king and the like. But if this is the case, firstly, there is no basis for it, and she doesn't know what his identity is, and secondly, it is the trap set up by Cheng Zhu's family, I am afraid that she will be unfavorable to him.

If it was the previous Yuyi, she probably wouldn't doubt Cheng Zhu's intentions, and when she asked, she said it obediently.

But she gradually knew that Cheng Zhu's was not sincere to treat her well, so she accepted the idea of dependence.

"I see." Cheng Zhu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it was different from what she thought, otherwise it would be really difficult. Since the concubine is not to be afraid, it can't hurt the relationship between Sister Yi and Rui'er.

After getting what she wanted to hear, she talked a few more idle words like others, and then she said that she was tired and asked Li's mother to send a watch to Miss Watch.

Mother Li stepped forward, glanced at Ruan Yuyi, and gestured, "Miss Biao, please." Mother Li's tone was not respectful, and her attitude was casual, as if what was in front of her was not the master, but what kind of inferior person she was.

She bowed her head slightly, seeing Mother Li's contempt, and she was also too lazy to care about it.

Cheng Zhu's sending Li's mother to send him off, there was already a sense of surveillance.

When she returned to the courtyard, she had to weave some strings to pass the time, and when she looked up again, she saw that there was not much daylight outside, and the color of the trees and flowers seemed to be a little darker, adding to the loneliness.

She called Mu Xiang to light the candle, and continued slowly and leisurely in her hand.

Because of the need to use his eyes, candles were lit on all sides. The candle flame jumped down and down, as if it were alive, and pulled out many shadows under her feet, long or short, as if with this little lady as a companion.

It's just that she saw that it was already dark outside, and she was tired, so she didn't have the talent to concentrate, and frequently looked out of the half-open window, and her subordinates didn't feel slowed down.

It wasn't until Mu Xiang came in to remind her to rest that she put down her belongings and freshened up and changed her clothes.

Muxiang is waiting to cut off the last wick.

"Keep one." She whispered suddenly.

Muxiang scissors paused and looked back at Miss. She remembered that the young lady did not have the habit of going to bed with the lamp on, but because she slept lightly, she would be woken up when the light was on.

Seeing Ruan Yuyi bowing slightly at her, she realized that Miss was making it convenient for that person. Mu Xiang had seen the bed before it was cleaned up, and his face couldn't help but be slightly red now, but there was darkness in the room, which was not obvious.

She put down the scissors, and after dropping the curtain for Ruan Yuyi, she bowed and withdrew.

The room was silent, and she lay on her side on the bed, but she didn't feel sleepy. She stared at the bed curtain, and the candlelight not far away was blurred into a little halo by the bed curtain, and the light reflected in the tent was even more bright red.

But until she opened her eyes sleepily and fell asleep, the window remained the same.

Mu Xiang, who was guarding outside, saw that there was no movement in the inner room, sighed lightly, went in and picked up the candle flame, and closed the window, miande

In fact, she still faintly hoped in her heart that the man she had climbed by mistake could help her get out of the Cheng family.

She was imprisoned in a courtyard, and judging by Cheng Zhu's meaning today, I am afraid that the deadline is approaching. There was really no choice but to put hope elsewhere

But for two nights, she didn't wait for the man.

Gradually, she stopped looking out the window. Instead, they are more attentive or embroidered with small objects.
