The maidservant was so angry that her voice twisted, "The girl has helped you many times, and she will not pay again this time." ”

The servant kept pleading, but the maidservant simply refused.

Luo Huan frowned when he heard this, the status of the scholar clan and the slave is like mud, this old servant actually asked the girl for money, greedy and excessive, this kind of behavior is no different from betraying the master, he rowed the boat and couldn't find the direction and was upset, and when he heard this, he suddenly became angry, thinking about which kind-hearted girl actually met such an evil servant, and was about to scold, but he heard the old servant's tone suddenly changed.

"I'm drunk but easy to talk about, and if you tell me about it, don't blame me."

The maidservant took a breath, "Hu Qin, what." ”

The old slave laughed twice, his voice was hoarse, "If the girl doesn't care about me, I'll go to Xie Jialangjun." ”

"You are crazy, if you open your mouth, you will die."

The maid was young, her voice trembled, and she was no longer as strong as she was just now, and the old servant smiled: "I owe money outside, and if I don't die, I will die, but if I tell Xie Langjun, I'm afraid that all the girl's plans will be empty, by the way, I heard that Wei Jialangjun is in Yuzhang, one is a general, and the other is the smaller, it was the beginning...... Woo woo...... "He seemed to be covered by someone.

When Luo Huan heard this, he couldn't hold back anymore and shouted, "Who is there." ”

The sound disappeared immediately.

"Yudu, how does it sound related to your family." Luo Huan turned his head and was stunned when he saw Wei Ji's face.

In the past, he saw that Wei Ji always had a good temper, but at this moment, he saw that her face was snow-white, like frost, and the lotus leaves on her hands were hanging on the side of the boat, and the whole person exuded a cold momentum, which made people feel stunned.

Luo Huan hurriedly said: "Don't worry, we'll dock immediately." ”

He was anxious to know what the two of them meant just now, and why it ended up on the Wei family. But he was not so skillful in his grasping, and he made mistakes in his busyness, and finally the two of them went ashore, and the maid and the old servant who were talking under the willow tree just now were long gone.

"Okay, what a, I have to find them." Luo Huan's face didn't know whether he was sunburned or angry.

Wei Ji said: "Don't worry, you can find out." ”

Luo Huan said: "How can I find a lot of girls today." ”

Wei Ji glanced at the lake and said, "There are not many people who can have anything to do with Xie Jiawei's family. ”

The author has something to say:

I have time tomorrow, and Feizhang is ready to thank the little angel who voted for me during 2022-12-29 23:32:56~2022-12-30 23:54:38~

Chapter 70: Hatchbacks

Luo Huan said: "Yes, yes, the two who were called girls just now must be among the girls who came today, let's go and ask them to call out all the slaves." ”

Wei Ji stopped him, "It can't be like this."

She sighed, knowing that Luo Huan was kind enough to help, he was the son of a pampered scholar clan, and he could get things done with just one order, but he didn't know that a hundred people had a hundred and one minds, and if the servants had the intention to conceal it, it was common for the master to be difficult to detect.

"Princess Langya is here, you have to call all the girls, and you have to ask the servants and servants around them, even if they are the third surname of Yuzhang, can they be so domineering" She said, "Even if the Luo family really can, you are a Langjun who is not as weak as the crown, and you want to act on behalf of the Luo family."

Luo Huan was in a hurry just now, and when he heard this, he calmed down a lot, looked at Wei Ji and said, "Then I'll listen to you what to do." ”

Wei Ji said: "Your family's rented garden, there should be a steward to come."

Luo Huan nodded hurriedly, "Yes, there is, there is not, Princess Langya is here today, there will definitely be." ”

Wei Ji asked him to find the steward first. Luo Huan just shouted angrily to scare away the two sneaky servants, and now he already regrets it in retrospect, Afraid that Wei Huan will blame him for this, Luo Huan worked very hard, the two of them were on the shore of the lake, called the passing servants, Luo Huan reported to his home, and asked him to hurry up to find the steward. Of course, the servant knew that the identity of Lang Jun who entered the garden today was different, and immediately ran quickly to find the Luo family steward.

The maidservant Xiaohuan pulled the old Xu Tou and hurried away from the shore, her heart was still beating rapidly, and her expression was extremely uneasy.

Old Xu Tou was also scared when he heard a loud shout from the lotus bushes by the lake just now, but when he saw Xiaohuan so scared, he gave birth to a little confidence, "Isn't it just that I was scared to give me money so early." ”

Xiaohuan gritted her teeth, she has learned a lot from the girl over the years, especially the clever self-police is better than others, she said: "You want so much, I can't be the master, go find the girl now." ”

Lao Xu rolled his eyes and said, "Let's go." ”

Xiaohuan took Lao Xu Tou and hurriedly entered the cave gate from the path in the garden, through the garden, and from the verandah to a small courtyard. She told Lao Xu Tou to wait, afraid that he would walk around and warned: "If you go away, you won't have a penny." ”

Old Xu Tou smiled, and said in his heart that I wouldn't leave if I couldn't get the money.

Xiaohuan went inside, knocked on the door, heard a maid inside asking, and immediately said, "Girl, it's me Xiaohuan." ”

The maidservant opened the door, and Xiaohuan immediately went in, and saw Ruan Jue standing against the window, drawing with a pen in his hand.

Xiaohuan was in a hurry, and he didn't care about anything else, so he rushed forward and whispered something in Ruan Jue's ear.

Ruan Jue was taken aback, and immediately removed the pen without letting the ink drop on the paper. She turned her head to look over, her face was like a young willow in March, weak and flickering, but a cold light flashed in her eyes, "He's outside"

Xiaohuan nodded.

Ruan Jue had no intention of painting the lake scene again, and asked the maid on the side to guard the door, she pulled Xiaohuan to the window to talk, the window was open, so that when she spoke, she would know if there was anyone nearby, which seemed to be dangerous but was actually the safest.

"Can I see who called you," Ruan Jue asked.

Xiaohuan shook his head, "We are standing under the tree, the lotus leaf is the densest, I didn't look at people at all before, I was scared so I pulled Lao Xu head and ran, and hurriedly looked back, but I didn't see anything." ”

Ruan Jue's face changed slightly, "What did you say just now, it's good to miss a word." ”

Xiaohuan then told the original story of the conversation between the two just now. Ruan Jue closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, his eyes were already slightly red, "Xiaohuan, it's all my fault, that day Lao Xu Tou drove someone into the river, I asked him to hide it in order to save his life, but I didn't want to ask him to blackmail him and ask for money." He is an old servant of my Ruan family, he has followed me for so many years, and he doesn't think about the friendship between master and servant at all, and outsiders can still bear to look down on me, but why are his own slaves so cruel to me?"

Xiaohuan saw her crying, and said distressedly: "No matter how merciful the main family is, some people who have a bad heart will still do evil things." Girl, let's just tell Xie Jialangjun. ”

Ruan Jue grabbed her hand, "No." ”

Xiaohuan said: "But now he asks again and again, when is the end, the girl will empty her private room."

Ruan Jue burst into tears from the corners of his eyes, and turned his head to look at the painting on the bookcase. That was just now when Princess Langya asked the girls to paint on the theme of visiting the garden, giving an hour and a half of time. Ruan Jue originally wanted to stay by the lake, but the best places in the scenery were occupied by the local scholars of Yuzhang, and she had no intention of competing with them, so she simply returned to the room to paint. She grew up in the Xie family, and she thought that she was not inferior to those scholars in terms of calligraphy and painting skills.

The lotus picture in front of her, sparse and dense, elegant composition, was carefully painted by her, in order to overwhelm everyone later, so that Princess Langya would treat her differently.

But before it was finished, suddenly something like this happened.

Ruan Jue's face was slightly pale, he thought about it for a while, and said in his heart: I can't let Lao Xu Tou spoil my business.

She seemed weak, but in fact she was thoughtful, and a thought crossed her mind, her eyes sank, her hand grasped Xiaohuan's wrist, and her knuckles were tense.

Xiaohuan's "hiss" made Ruan Jue come back to his senses.

"Since people heard it, you can't take it lightly," Ruan Jue said softly, "By the way, is the tranquilizing pill you tuned a few days ago still there?"

Xiaohuan said: "Yes, the girl always carries a few pills in her bag." ”

Ruan Jue sighed all night a few days ago because Xie Xuan wanted to discuss his relatives, he thought too deeply, and he couldn't sleep well at night, so he asked someone to prepare pills to calm the nerves and help him sleep, and when it was difficult to sleep peacefully, taking half a pill would take effect.

Ruan Jue's eyebrows twisted, and said, "I heard that old Xu Tou likes to drink."

Xiaohuan said, "It's his drinking problem, he loves gambling when he gets drunk, and I heard that he will beat his wife and children." ”

Ruan Jue nodded slightly, "It turns out that there are so many problems, so look at it, this person is indeed bad to the roots, you ask Qian to ask someone to get a pot of millet and rice, don't let people see it, and then quietly call Lao Xu Tou to the lake, I have a few words to ask him." ”

Ruan Jue went out this time, with four maids by her side, and the other three were sent out by her under her pretext, Xiaohuan quickly took the millet back, Ruan Jue threw two tranquilizing pills into it, and was still a little uneasy in his heart, and threw the third one into the wine gourd together. Xiaohuan saw that his heart was like a drum, "Girl, what is this going to do?"

Ruan Jue turned around and grabbed her hand. Ruan Jue's hands were cold, causing Xiaohuan to arouse a string of goosebumps.

Two lines of tears flowed, Ruan Jue said: "I was also forced to have no way, Xiaohuan, you know my situation best, looking at being in the high gate, but if you don't have a trembling day or not, you are afraid that you will make a mistake and make my aunt and cousin tired of me, and there is really no place for me in this world." It's a pity that this old Xu Tou committed a life lawsuit at the beginning, and he broke his mind, and he used my reputation as a threat. The Lang Jun in the garden today are all famous Jiangyou, you just said a few words, revealing the surnames of Xie Wei, if someone is interested in pursuing it, you can find my head, this risk must not be taken. ”

She wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, and her voice was gentle and slow, "You are the most intimate with me, if I have a good support in the future, I will definitely untie your slavery contract first, find you a good family business, and never let your children and grandchildren also be slaves." ”

Xiaohuan should be happy when he heard this, but not why, when he saw the wine gourd on the table, he felt a faint chill in his heart.

Wei Ji and the others came to take charge, and immediately instructed him to determine whether any of the girls who came today were related to the Xie family, and whether they were surnamed Ruan. In less than a moment, the steward replied that the Ruan family girl was indeed there. Luo Huan was on the side, when his housekeeper came just now, he only said with a stiff face, "You listen to the Wei family's Xiaolangjun", and he didn't give orders again, but at this time, he couldn't help but ask Wei Ji, "What does the Ruan family have to do with your family?"

Wei Ji said: "I'll explain to you later, what I'm going to do right now may have to take some risks, if I use your family's ......"

"What kind of risk, just ask them to do it, this is in Yuzhang, that girl is Chen Liuruan's family" Luo Huan said disdainfully, "Now Ruan's is nothing, what are you afraid of." ”

Wei Ji thought for a while, and said to the steward: "Go and inquire about the number of servants brought by the Ruan girl today, if there are servants of some age, they will be detained and escorted immediately." ”

The steward glanced at Wei Ji in surprise, but he didn't expect this little Langjun in front of him to act so decisively. After thinking about it for a while, it was not in front of Princess Langya at the moment, but just a servant in private, although it was an offense to the Ruan girl, but with Luo Huan and Wei Ji, the Ruan family is not a scholar, and the steward is not afraid, so he called a few palace guards to go immediately.

Luo Huan held back his doubts just now, and immediately asked about the relationship between the Wei Ruan family, the Xie family and the Wei family.

Wei Ji had already planned to completely forget the past of her marriage, but she didn't expect to be suddenly reminded today. She briefly told Luo Huan about the past before and after. His eyes widened, "You—you have a twin sister"

Wei Jiao's expression was gloomy and she nodded slightly.

Luo Huan turned on her face, regretful and heartbroken, but he knew that this was not the time to say this, so he frowned and said: "This is strange, speaking of which, the Ruan girl and you have not met a few times, why did that evil servant mention the Wei family just now?"

Wei Ji was also suspicious in her heart, and said: "This is also my strangeness, and I will know the reason when the old servant is arrested." ”

The two sat for less than a moment, and the steward ran over quickly, and said with a pale face: "Oh no, two Xiaolangjun, a corpse was fished out of the lake just now, like the person you are looking for." ”

Luo Huan jumped almost on the spot, "What"

After Wei Ji was stunned, she became more and more sure that there must be a hidden secret behind this matter, so she settled down and asked, "How did you die?"

The steward said, "Drown." ”

Luo Huan said angrily: "How can it be so coincidental, just about to find him died, this is clear...... It was killed. ”

The steward hurriedly said: "Wei Xiaolangjun just ordered to find someone, I went to see the corpse on purpose, and it was indeed drowned." ”

Luo Huan wanted to say something, Wei Ji patted him on the shoulder and said, "I just said that this matter will be arranged by me." ”

Luo Huan sat back when he heard this.

The steward was secretly surprised in his heart, and he admired Wei Ji a little, so that the arrogant and arrogant Huan Langjun in the family was obedient.

Wei Ji was silent, and the old servant who asked for the money died, leaving only the maid who spoke to him under the tree. But if you want to find out this maid, you must go directly to the Ruan girl, which will inevitably alarm Princess Langya.

Although Luo Huan was a little young and reckless, he knew the key to this matter after thinking about it for a while, and he said, "Just go directly to that Ruan girl and ask for a clear understanding." ”

Wei Ji glanced at him, "Now that everyone has caught it alive, just look for it, the Ruan girl is crying and complaining about her grievances, what are you going to do?"

Luo Huan said: "What is she wronged, the cheap and evil servants are all brought by her." What's more, we obviously heard that they also mentioned the Wei family. ”

Wei Ji rubbed her temples and said: "It's a good mention, but it's only half a sentence, I don't know the details, you and I just went to ask a girl, do you think that although the Ruan family is not good, but in the end it is still close to the Xie family, she is an orphan girl and said that the Luo family is bullying people, do you say that others believe it or not"

Luo Huan's head suddenly grew when he heard this, and then he thought that such a situation was really possible, and half of the impulse just now had disappeared, "Just say that."

Wei Ji pursed her lips and said after a while: "I can't forget it." She beckoned, beckoned the steward, and whispered a few words.

The steward nodded again and again, and left to run errands with a surprised face.

Ruan Jue and Xiaohuan returned to the room, Xiaohuan's face was pale, his eyes were red, his lips trembled, he suddenly covered his lips with a handkerchief, ran out of the room to vomit, and when he wiped his face again, his face was still colorless. When she entered the door, she saw Ruan Jue calmly coloring the painting, and her feet stopped.

Ruan Jue finished drawing the last bit of brushwork, turned around, came to Xiaohuan, and wiped her face with a handkerchief.

Xiaohuan hung her head in fright, "Girl......"

Ruan Jue took her hand and said: "You have been with me for the longest time, I won't hide anything from you, although we are masters and servants, I regard you as my sister in my heart." ”
