Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

After Mr. Li left the palace, he went to the Bai Mansion as a routine matter. After asking, he found out that Bai Ruozhu was not at home, but went to see the people who suffered from the fire.

He was a little touched, but the Ministry of Punishment had been working for a long time and was very rational and business-oriented at all times. If Bai Ruozhu was really innocent, he must find out so that she could be innocent.

When Master Li found Bai Ruozhu, Bai Ruozhu was washing the eyes of the ten-year-old girl.

He stood aside patiently until Bai Ruozhu finished his work, then turned around and saw him.

"How long have you been here, Mr. Li? Do you want to see me if you have anything to do?" Bai Ruozhu was not surprised that Mr. Li from the Punishment Department would come. With the eldest princess obstructing her, it would be dereliction of duty for the Punishment Department not to come and talk to her.

"It won't be long before I disturb Mr. Bai from diagnosing and treating patients." Mr. Li said politely.

Bai Ruozhu made an invitation gesture to him and said, "Then let's go out and talk."

"good."

The two of them left the temporarily prepared consultation room, and only then did Mr. Li talk about the purpose of their trip.

"Master Bai, don't think too much. For the sake of procedure, I just want to ask you a few questions." Master Li said.

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "Please ask."

"Someone reported that you once gave your uncle Bai Yibo a drink, which made him completely lose control of his emotions and did very deviant things in the village. Is there anything wrong?" Master Li asked.

Bai Ruozhu sneered, "The person who reported the report was Du Zhongshu, right? He used to be a good friend and partner of mine, but in the end he was found out because the Du family was greedy and secretly modified the contract. The previous rumors about my family were related to him. It's related. It's not surprising that this kind of person would spread rumors about me again. As for what he said about my uncle being drunk and causing trouble, it's true, but how can it have anything to do with me? Everyone in the village knows that we separated and didn't even live together. He buys his own wine and drinks it himself, what if I do something about it?"

"Because Du Zhongshu said that Bai Yibo's situation is very similar to that of Zheng Guogong's death. The eldest princess is also a little suspicious of you, but you don't have to worry too much. The matter will be found out. It's just that during this period, you can't leave without permission. Jing." Master Li said.

Bai Ruozhu frowned, "My family wants to return to their hometown to worship their ancestors."

"I'm sorry, the Emperor has already issued a verbal order on this matter." Mr. Li said and cupped his hands.

Bai Ruozhu understood that the people who came to ask questions today were just polite, and the real purpose was to tell her not to leave Beijing. She was a little unhappy, but she could only accept it.

After returning home, Bai Ruozhu had no choice but to tell her family the news. With such a delay, she might not be able to go back even a year ago.

"Dad, otherwise you go back first, and I can only wait for the case to be investigated before rushing back." Bai Ruozhu said.

Lin Ping'er was not happy when she heard this, "That's no good. We have to go back together. What's the point of leaving you alone? It's so deserted during the New Year."

"Isn't there Ah Chun? Deng Deng is following me too, so that you don't have to be too hard on the road. Don't be afraid of the New Year. Aren't Sister Hongxiu and my sister-in-law all in Beijing? There are also the Bo family and my friends, how can it be deserted?" Bai Ruozhu said with a smile.

Lin Ping'er felt sour in her heart and muttered: "That's not family."

Bai Ruozhu supported her mother's shoulders and advised: "The ancestor worship cannot be delayed. You should take the first step. I will chase you when the time comes. If I really can't make it in time, I will wait for you to return to Beijing for reunion."

After talking about it, Lin Ping'er couldn't object anymore, but she was still unhappy in her heart. After that, she often scolded the Eucommia ulmoides book, saying that she thought he was a good young man before, but she didn't expect him to be so wicked.

Bai Ruozhu shook his head secretly in his heart. The book of Eucommia ulmoides has deteriorated, and I'm afraid these are not the only ones who are immoral.

It was Master Li's visit that made her think that the cause of Zheng Guogong's death was somewhat strange, and that her porcelain bottle also appeared in the ruins. All of this seemed to have been planned in advance.

Originally, she thought that Du Zhongshu was just spreading some rumors and could not bring any substantial harm to her, so she looked down on him in her heart, but now she realized that she had underestimated the enemy.

When Jiang Yichun got home in the evening, he immediately asked Bai Ruozhu about it. He had already heard some rumors.

"Ah Chun, I suspect that this was all planned by Du Zhongshu. The rumors spread at first were just a smoke bomb to distract us. Then he used a method similar to my uncle's drunken and troublemaking method to murder Zheng Guogong, who had some grudge against me. , and my medicine bottle is left at the scene, it seems to have been planned one after another. I remember that I helped him detoxify and gave him medicine before, so it is not surprising that he has my medicine bottle in his hand." Bai Ruozhu said .

Jiang Yichun's face was so cold that it was about to freeze. He wanted to say that Bai Ruozhu was not good at making friends, but he still swallowed his words. She must be very depressed now, and he had better not cause any more trouble for her.

"I'll find a way to clean up that Eucommia book, so you don't have to worry about it." Jiang Yichun said.

Bai Ruozhu shook his head hurriedly, "No, this matter is being watched by the Ministry of Justice. If something happens to him, wouldn't I become the first suspect?"

Jiang Yichun burst out laughing, pointed at the tip of her nose and said, "Why are you so violent now? You think of killing whenever you say something. Am I, your husband, so cold-blooded and murderous?"

Bai Ruozhu rolled her eyes at him, "Tch, if you say that with a cold face and gritted teeth, can I not be embarrassed?"

Such a gag made Bai Ruozhu feel a lot better, and he temporarily forgot about the Eucommia book.

Later in the evening, the second brother came home and came to find Bai Ruozhu. Jiang Yichun stood up and said, "I'll go play with Deng Deng. You brothers and sisters, let's talk."

Bai Ruozhu was very satisfied with the way her man looked, but Jiang Yichun secretly thought, you are all going back to your hometown anyway, and I will have plenty of time to get along with Ruozhu, so I will leave it to you.

His mentality was like giving alms from above, and then he went to play with his son in a good mood.

"Little sister, I've heard all about it." Bai Zepei said, his eyes darkening a little, "I once thought that after I got the honors, I could protect you and your family as long as I was an official in the court, but I didn't expect that I would still change now. Nothing."

Bai Zepei looked a little depressed and a little ashamed, which made Bai Ruozhu feel particularly uncomfortable.

"Second brother, what are you talking about? This is all a trivial matter. If you hadn't been on duty in the imperial study, the emperor might have directly asked the Ministry of Justice to interrogate me." She hurriedly advised.

Bai Zepei did not argue with her, and sighed and said: "This case involves you, so I can't stay in the Imperial Study Room anymore. I have to ask for leave to go back to my hometown. Why don't I apply to the emperor tomorrow and have a good rest?" .”

Bai Ruozhu was stunned, and after a while he said: "Second brother, you don't have to..."

Bai Zepei interrupted her, "We are a family. Of course I understand that those things have nothing to do with you."
