CHAPTER XVI

Ma Jiarongrong patted her arm: "We were punished again today, how could she have suffered such a crime?" That's why she did such a thing, and after a few days, she will be sober, and it will be fine. ”

"She's understandably upset." Umalus smiled.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Ma Jia Rongrong always felt that Umalu's smile seemed to be a little more powerless than before.

Ma Jia Rongrong walked with her to the tea house: "I don't want to protect her, it's just that after us, we may have to live for the rest of our lives." If you can think less, you can worry less. ”

Ma Jiarongrong assured her: "When she recovers, I will ask her to apologize to you." ”

Umalu thought it was ridiculous, how funny it was for someone who didn't do anything wrong to apologize on behalf of someone who did something wrong.

She said softly: "Rongrong, you are better than Chen Jiayi to deal with this." ”

"I'm the first child in my family, I'm used to it." She smiled, and her smile was not as bright as before, but a little stunned.

As they spoke, they had already arrived at the tea house.

Although Chen Jiayi came out first, she was still the same as before, just sitting there, not moving in a daze at the three ornaments in her hand.

Ma Jia Rongrong and Wu Malu can only deal with these things first.

They were methodically preparing.

In the evening, Liang Jiugong came again, he personally came to serve tea, and mentioned it by the way: "If it weren't for the Long Live Lord, you should go to Shangfang Courtyard for a while." ”

The three of them saluted: "Thank you for your grace." ”

Although the three of them didn't get involved, it didn't mean that this matter was over, and the matter was finally transferred to the Shofang Yuan of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Later, I learned from Ma Jiarongrong that the Shangfang Court probably found out the truth of the case.

Aunt Dai Jia was indeed supposed to leave the palace at the end of September this year, and it was indeed her old friend who asked for marriage with military merits.

However, her old friend died a few days ago while fighting a traitor.

Aunt Dai Jia got the news, so she drank the poison and went with her.

As for the cause of the poison, it was found in the Tai Hospital, and there were attendance records as evidence, as evidenced by the prescription records, and the loss of medicinal materials.

Aunt Dai Jia has a dark illness and a bad cough, so she should be the person who serves the emperor, so the doctor sent by the Tai Hospital prescribed medicine, and there is a taste of arsenic in the medicine.

After the matter was clarified, Liang Jiugong's attitude towards the tea house was slightly better, although it was just lukewarm, it was enough for them to relax.

The days finally passed as usual, day by day, but it was also calm, and the previous punishment was like a mirror, making people wonder if it really happened.

But Umaru made it clear that it was what had really happened.

She studied all kinds of things quietly and methodically, and she became more and more proficient in the affairs of the tea house.

Ma Jia Rongrong sometimes sighs: "Ma Lu, you are so smart. ”

At this time, Umalus would always shake his head: "No, I'm not smart, I spent a lot of time memorizing it before I wrote it down." ”

The two of them talked and laughed and did embroidery work together.

At this time, Umalu has memorized the preferences of the princes and ministers, and he has done a good job of making tea.

Ma Jia Rongrong is not an embarrassed person.

The two get along quite happily.

As for Chen Jiayi, after recovering from the excitement at that time, she has already apologized to Umalu. There is still peace between the three of them on the surface, but she doesn't like to talk anymore.

As for the three ornaments left by Aunt Dai Jia, they are still in Chen Jiayi's hands, and they have no intention of giving them to them.

Ma Jia Rongrong and Wu Ma Lu are both people who can hide things in their hearts, and they have never mentioned this matter, nor have they talked about it in private.

Because they are already well aware of Chen Jiayi's virtues, there is nothing to say.

They were not surprised by what Chen Jiayi did.

The days of serving tea are the same as in the past, the three of them work in shifts, and they have two days off.

It's strange that it's idle, it's just that it's a longer time.

On this day, it was Ma Jiarongrong's turn to rest, and she came over after she slept enough.

There is really no place to go in this palace, not to mention that they can't walk around, and if they are caught, they will never be pleased. It's better to come here to talk to your sisters and do embroidery.

When she arrived, she only saw Chen Jiayi there, and Chen Jiayi looked uneasy.

Ma Jiarong looked at her twice more and asked her, "What's the matter, you look like this, I don't know what happened." ”

"Just now served tea, after I served tea, she guarded for me, and I went to pay tribute. When she returned, she was gone. Chen Jiayimu was stunned and said, "I feel very uncomfortable, as if something is going to happen." ”

Ma Jia Rongrong was about to sit down, but when he heard this, he stood up again and said, "You guard first, I'll go see what's going on." ”

"Okay." Chen Jiayi responded and continued to stare at the table in a daze.

Ma Jiarong walked out of the side hall and walked towards the main hall.

She knew in her heart that no matter how urgent the matter was, at least one person should be left in the tea house in case the emperor needed it.

Umalu was able to leave in that situation, and he thought he should have been taken away by Liang Gonggong and them.

When she arrived at the main hall, she saw Liang Gonggong guarding the door after a few steps, and she went up to salute.

Before she could speak, Liang Jiugong had already spoken.

Liang Jiugong smiled and said, "She's so blessed, maybe she's going to fly on the branches." ”

"She'......"

Liang Jiugong looked at her meaningfully: "She is a blessed person." ”

Ma Jia Rongrong gritted his teeth, lowered his head and asked, "I'm stupid, I don't know what Manager Liang means." ”

Liang Jiugong waved his hand: "Go down." ”

She had the heart to ask again, but she didn't dare, so she had to retreat.

She hurriedly returned to the tea house, stared at Chen Jiayi, and said in a serious tone: "Chen Jiayi, you tell me the truth, what did you do!" ”

Chen Jiayi shook her head: "I didn't ...... I didn't. ”

Ma Jia Rongrong said coldly: "My aunt has helped me so much, so I have always been tolerant of you, if you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for not thinking about the sisterhood between us." ”

Chen Jiayi was silent for a long time before she spoke: "I didn't mean it, it's just because my aunt is gone, so I ......"

"So you hold a grudge against her and deliberately do something wrong and blame her."

Chen Jiayi's sharp voice seemed to be about to sound, but she seemed to be afraid of something, and after the sharp voice was suppressed by her throat, she made a strange sound.

"I'm not, I don't, I just put more tea and one or two steps less, but I didn't mean to." Chen Jiayi seemed to grasp a life-saving straw, "Yes, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it, you have to believe me." ”
