Vai was still chattering, describing the suffering of Sister Lin's sister in her eyes.

In her heart, Lin Jiaoyue was a kind and simple woman who was bullied by a heartless man and chased by people sent by her love rival. She had nowhere to hide.

Xu Rongrong seemed to be listening to a story.

Luo Shu beside him was also stunned: This...is what Chu Huwei said "isn't his brain good?"

As Vai spoke, seeing Xu Rongrong's calm face, his originally smooth speech became stumbling: "...What? What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"

Xu Rongrong asked her with a smile: "Then have you ever thought about why she is the daughter of a powerful minister of the Ministry of War, living alone in the south of the Yangtze River, without a guard around her, not even a maidservant?"

Vay: "..."

"She was fleeing alone in the south of the Yangtze River and was being hunted. Why didn't she go to the government for help? According to you, the place where you met was not far from the state capital. Why didn't she go to the government for protection? You said The Marquis has a high position, but she is the only daughter of the Minister of War. Even if the princess' position is deposed, the government will not ignore her and watch her being hunted down."

Vai blinked, not knowing how to respond.

Xu Rongrong smiled and said: "Because you don't know the rules of Dazhou. Women from Dazhou official families need road signs wherever they go. Firstly, it means that they are not going out privately. Secondly, if they encounter problems, they can also ask the government for help. If she If you are traveling as you said, there will naturally be road signs, and with these, it will not be difficult to find help."

"So that's it." Vai murmured. He didn't expect that it would be so troublesome for a girl to go out in Dazhou!

In their southern Xinjiang, she often ran away and disappeared for a month or two. As long as she reported her father and brother's name, the official fast horse inns would allow her to go in and rest.

"So, the embarrassment you looked when you saw her can only mean that Master Shangshu did not buy a road guide voucher for her on this trip."

"That shouldn't be the case. Doesn't her father only have one daughter?" Vai asked strangely.

Xu Rongrong nodded: "So... her going to Jiangnan was not arranged by Master Shangshu, but to do something ulterior."

Vai pouted. She thought about the "Sister Lin" in her memory, and then looked at the "Beautiful Sister" in front of her.

These days, as she got along with the people in the Hou Mansion, she always felt that the people here, including the "disciple" Chu He, seemed to be different from the Lin family sister.

So, she stammered and asked: "Then...then what did she do?"

Xu Rongrong told one by one how Lin Jiaoyue tried to kidnap herself, but ended up kidnapping Wen Yao by mistake; how she abandoned her loyal maid and cut off her tail to survive.

Vai was stunned when he heard these completely different words.

"She...she won't!" She jumped anxiously!

"If you have the chance, you can ask her for confirmation in person." Xu Rongrong was unhurried.

"I won't believe you!" After saying that, Vai stamped his feet and ran away.

The master and servant were left in the same place, laughing and crying.

……

When Mu Rong returned home in the evening, Mu Yi told Mrs. Lu about her afternoon visit.

"I know." Mu Rong handed over a list casually, "Let the warehouse prepare the items on this in advance. When the county owner moves over, take them with you."

"Yes." Mu Yi took it and took a closer look. They were all ornaments that had been rewarded by the palace over the years and were suitable for use by women.

Since there was no mistress in the Marquis Mansion, these items were sent from the palace and locked in the warehouse, never to be opened again.

Mu Rong made arrangements and went to Xinghui Hall.

Xu Rongrong was leaning under the window and reading the account books. The candles reflected from behind her, bringing out a soft beauty.

Two small white dumplings were swaying around her legs. Sometimes they would feel itchy, so Xu Rongrong would pat them on the head.

Mu Rong stood in the corridor and watched, with a slight smile on his lips that he had not even noticed.

Wen Yao saw him first and rushed forward to say hello.

Mu Rong nodded, stepped forward, and entered the room.

"Third brother left the capital this morning and headed for the border. Now everyone in the capital knows that Dazhou is going to do business with Fanwai. Rongrong must have made a lot of money these days." He looked at Xu Rongrong with a smile.

Xu Rongrong did not deny it. She held the two little ones in her arms and straightened up: "I was just about to discuss it with the Marquis. Spring is coming soon. Mr. Xu has been staying in Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs these days. He must be familiar with Zhuangzi. I would like to ask him to return to Beijing in the next two days and discuss with him the arrangements for this spring."

She was wearing a bright white jacket today, with a furry collar and cuffs.

Coupled with the two furry little ones in his arms, the whole person looks too soft to look like.

Mu Rong looked at it with stars in his eyes.

"It's all up to you."

There was a smile on his lips.

"Mrs. Lu came today and invited me to stay temporarily at Zhuxiang Yayuan. The Flower Festival is coming soon, and I thought about moving there during that day, okay?"

"It's all up to you."

Xu Rongrong: "..."

"What arrangements are you going to make, Miss Vai?" Xu Rongrong changed the subject.

Sure enough, talking about others, Mu Rong put on another look: "After leaving the court today, I met Vali and was about to enter the palace to see him, so I told him about Wai."

"??..." Xu Rongrong waited for the next step.

Seeing her curious look, Mu Rong couldn't help but smile: "He is a smart man. When he heard me say that Vai had been missing for more than half a month, he understood that the palace had a plan for his sister."

Wai has been missing for more than half a month, but His Majesty did not tell the truth. He sent people to secretly search for him, and also sent people to keep an eye on Honglu Temple to prevent Wai from returning.

This style of dealing with people has always been inconsistent with His Majesty.

Come to think of it, in the previous life, Vai died tragically and there was no trace of Zhou's body left, so he must be inextricably linked to the palace and even His Majesty.

However, even though he knew the outcome of his previous life, Mu Rong could not figure out why such a girl could provoke people to plot against her.

What's more, if it falls in the capital city of Dazhou, it will definitely attract backlash from the Southern Xinjiang clan. Your Majesty will not know this.

Unless... there is some secret in Vai, which makes His Majesty willing to take risks to achieve his goal.

But why, Mu Rong couldn't figure it out.

I am telling you the truth today because I want to see if there are any clues about Vali.

really……

After Vali heard what he said, he neither angrily scolded them for taking people away, nor went into the palace to make trouble with His Majesty. Instead, he respectfully followed the etiquette: "Wai is used to being undisciplined when he wants to come. The days have brought a lot of trouble to the Hou Mansion, please take more care of her, and I will bring her back soon."

He spoke so sincerely and politely, which made Mu Rong believe that there must be some secret hidden in Wai.

However, as long as there was nothing wrong with Rong Rong, he didn't want to ask any more questions.
