Chapter 56: Eavesdropping

When Ruan Tang came in from the guard to report it, he was in good spirits when he heard about the Earl's Mansion.

Later, when I heard the Jing'an Hou Mansion, my heart suddenly became a little clear, and I faintly guessed what was going on.

At this time, when he heard Chu Mu say that he was going to deal with official business, his heart became even clearer.

She obediently obeyed Chu Mu's instructions and went back to the room.

And Chu Mu entered the room and changed into clothes, and then left Canglang Garden.

Ruan Tang knew that as long as she lived here, there would definitely be guards outside here, and if she wanted to go out, she would definitely have to get Chu Mu's consent.

But she's already figured out what to do.

She sat obediently at the round table outside the room, and soon a maid came in with a meal.

They were two little maidens of about fifteen or sixteen years old.

After the two of them finished laying out the dishes, they were about to retreat, when Ruan Tang stopped one of them, who looked more honest.

"You stay and wait, my handmaid is still locked up by His Highness."

The two maids looked at each other with a look of embarrassment on their faces.

They are only responsible for delivering food, not serving their masters.

What's more, this is not their master.

But they also know that it is not easy for this woman to live in His Highness's room.

Nor did they dare to offend.

After hesitating, the named maid nodded and stayed.

The other quickly retreated and left Canglang Garden.

At first, Ruan Tang still sat at the table normally, and instructed the maid to bring food for herself, and when she had eaten almost enough.

Only then did she say to the maid, "Fetch me a bowl of soup." ”

The woman received the order, respectfully scooped a bowl of soup, and handed it to Ruan Tang.

And when Ruan Tang took the soup bowl, his hand suddenly slipped, and the bowl of soup was directly sprinkled on Ruan Tang's body.

When the maid saw this, she fell to her knees in fright.

"The girl forgives her sins, the slave didn't mean it."

It wasn't her intention, but Ruan Tang's own intention.

"It's all right, get up." Ruan Tang also squatted down to help her up.

The maid was a little flattered, and after getting up, she hurriedly bowed and took two steps back.

How can there be a master who supports slaves and maids?

Ruan Tang knows that the concept of respect and inferiority is deeply rooted in the bone marrow of people in this era, so he follows her.

"Wait for me to bathe and change my clothes."

The maid knew that she had caused trouble, but the girl did not blame herself, and gave her the opportunity to redeem her merits, and she slipped away.

Soon, Ruan Tang led her into the inner room, and then she opened her arms to her and motioned for her to help undress.

The maid naturally knew, and hurriedly bowed forward and began to help untie her clothes.

And Ruan Tang kept looking at her with lowered eyes, his eyes fell on the back of her neck, and suddenly his hand fell and he directly slashed at the back of her neck with a knife.

The maid soon fell to the ground.

Ruan Tang hurriedly squatted down, carried her to the soft couch beside her, and then took off her clothes and helped her cover her with a quilt.

And she changed into her clothes, and then painted the scoop according to the gourd, and also combed the same maid's hair bun.

Looking in the mirror, I was very satisfied.

After everything was done, she picked up the food box and came out of the room.

All the way, she lowered her head and walked quickly to the outside of Canglang Garden.

She couldn't help but be nervous as she passed the guards.

As long as the guard stopped her and looked at her face, it was easy to recognize her.

She lowered her head and walked briskly past them.

And the guard didn't look at her more, still standing up straight, not squinting.

Just when Ruan Tang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had escaped, the guards behind him suddenly spoke up.

"Wait a minute."

Ruan Tang's footsteps stopped, and his heart was about to beat out of his heart.

But she didn't dare to go any further, so she had to turn around slightly, still keeping her head down.

One of the guards walked up to her, glanced down at her, and then spoke again, "Open the food box." ”

Ruan Tang didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly took off the lid of the food box.

The guard looked inside, and saw that there was not much food left.

He nodded and said, "It's okay, you can go." ”

Ruan Tang hurriedly closed the lid of the food box, blessed the guard, turned around, and left quickly.

It wasn't until she walked a few hundred meters that the guards of Canglang Yuan couldn't see her at all, and she completely spit out the breath she was holding.

She placed the food box on the bench in the cloister, lifted the hem of her skirt, and walked briskly in the direction of the living room.

If she guessed correctly, the guard who just came to Canglang Yuan to report, the son and young lady of the Earl's Marquis Mansion must be Ye Qingyu and her brother Ruan Huaichuan, and the second son is Shen Qianyi.

There is also the old lady of Jing'an Houfu.

According to the memories of the original owner's previous life, this old lady was her grandmother.

It's just that she, a grandmother, doesn't like her, what is the purpose of coming to Ning Wangfu today?

With her questions in mind, she quickly reached the parlor.

She didn't dare to go out directly, so she had to enter through the side door, hide in the inner room behind the living room, and secretly listen to the situation outside through the screen.

As soon as Ruan Tang stood there, he heard the voice of an old man who was full of energy, "Your Highness, I came to your mansion today to disturb me to take my granddaughter home, and I hope that Your Highness will be successful." ”

Unexpectedly, Chu Mu said, "The old lady is serious, if this king can be fulfilled, how can there be no reason why it cannot be fulfilled?" It's just that the old lady's granddaughter is not in this palace, you should be mistaken, don't listen to the rumors. ”

Hearing Chu Mu say this, Old Madam Ruan couldn't help but look at Shen Qianyi and Ye Qingyu, with a solemn expression on her face.

And Shen Qianyi saw the questioning look on Old Madam Ruan's face, afraid that she would stop there, and hurriedly said to Chu Mu:

"His Royal Highness King Ning, don't joke with me, how can Ah Tang not be in your mansion? Is it that Ah Tang didn't do a good job and annoyed you, just say that we will make amends for her. ”

Chu Mu sneered and glanced at Shen Qianyi, but did not answer his words.

Not even the gaze lingered on him for a few more seconds.

Shen Qianyi's face couldn't help but be a little ugly.

In any case, he is also the son of the Guogong Mansion, and it will not be long before he will inherit the title and officially become the marquis of the Guogong Mansion.

Who doesn't give him a thin face in the capital?

It's just this King Ning, targeting him everywhere.

When people oppose him, they lose face in front of them.

But, one day he will get these back.

And he believes that day will not be long.

"Yes, if my family Ah Tang offends His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness will say that the old body will give up this old bone to atone for her sins."

Old Madam Ruan said, got up from the chair, and was about to fall to her knees.

Chu Mu, who was sitting upright, immediately got up, walked over in a few steps, grabbed her arm, and stopped her from kneeling.

"Old lady, don't torture this king."

This kneeling is only afraid that it will reach the ears of his mother, and he will inevitably be punished.

Although he was not afraid of punishment, he was really afraid of her nagging.

Although Mrs. Ruan did not kneel, she began to cry with a handful of snot and tears.

"As soon as the old body is old, I want my children and grandchildren to be on the knees, Ah Tang's child, who has been away from home for many years, we think ...... Thinking that she was no longer alive, and now that she is still alive, no matter what, it is impossible for the old body to let her continue to live abroad, otherwise, how can the old body be worthy of her deceased mother? ”
