When Governor Cao saw Beibei in the crowd, he instantly realized that this matter was most likely related to the palace.

In fact, even if Beibei didn't come, Governor Cao would not let the Wu family go easily.

It's not a matter of personal revenge, but there have been too many absurd things happening in the Wu family recently, which have caused too bad an impact.

Governor Cao knew what was going on and asked, "Wu Kang, you said that everything in your house was lost, including the bed and the cabinet, which were sold. I want to ask you, how were these things stolen from your house?"

"From your yard to the front door of your mansion, how many gates do you have to pass through? How could no one in your mansion notice that you were carrying such a large object? And someone took it away to sell it, and after receiving the money, you said it was lost."

Wu Kang quickly explained: "Sir, everything I said is true."

"Every word you say sounds like fabrication to me."

Governor Cao read the petition again. What was written there was exactly the same as what Wu Laosan said, but it just sounded ridiculous.

"What are you going to do with the money?"

Wu Kang hesitated: "This..."

"What? You still can't tell me?"

"Sir, I just think that this matter has nothing to do with this case."

Governor Cao slammed the gavel and said, "How dare you! I have my own opinion on whether it is related or not. How can you tell the truth?"

Wu Kang hesitated and didn't want to say anything. Beibei in the crowd said, "Sir, he stole military rations to gamble and was discovered by the military commander over there. He was ordered to pay back the money, otherwise he will be punished by military law!"

Many people in the crowd were also saying that this was no secret. The news that Wu Laosan was carried back with broken door panels and thrown at the door had already spread a long time ago.

When Governor Cao heard this, he almost laughed out of anger: "Wu Kang, if you need money, you can't use this method. You sold the grain first, then sold the property, and now you want to return the property. For the sake of money, you really will do anything."

"Sir, I don't have any..."

"Someone is coming."

……

Mrs. Cao was talking to Miss Cao when a maid came in hurriedly with a happy look on her face.

"Madam, Miss, the princess is here."

Madam Cao hurriedly said, "Quick, quick, lead the way, I will go to greet them."

As soon as he reached the door, Yan Ruyu's voice rang out: "No need to answer it, this is not your first time here."

Madam Cao took a few quick steps and said, "Come a few times, the princess will come and we will welcome her."

Yan Ruyu walked into the room with a smile, and Linlang followed behind her with a large bouquet of flowers in her arms.

Miss Cao also got down from the ground and bowed at the door of the inner room.

Yan Ruyu helped her up and felt her pulse: "You've recovered well. How's your wound? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Princess, everything is fine. The scar has faded." Miss Cao smiled and held Yan Ruyu's hand as she walked into the house. "We were just talking about you."

Yan Ruyu was curious: "Hmm? What did you say about me?"

"Say you are my savior and our family's benefactor, and I must repay you."

Yan Ruyu laughed dumbly: "There's no need to bring this up all the time. Where's the child?"

She walked to the bedside, looked at the chubby white child, and her heart softened.

The little guy wasn't asleep yet, waving his little fists, his eyes bright black, and grinning when he saw Yan Ruyu, grabbing her fingers with his little hands.

"Oh, look at this clever little thing," Mrs. Cao laughed, "He knows who treats him well."

Yan Ruyu also felt it was wonderful to have her fingers wrapped in the little hand.

"I've grown a lot and gained a lot of weight."

"Yes, I gained several pounds," Miss Cao said with a smile, "and thanks to you, my body recovered quickly, my milk supply improved, and the baby will be fine naturally."

Yan Ruyu coaxed the little guy to play for a while, and asked Linlang to put the flowers in the outer room.

"I promised my wife before."

Madam Cao felt a little embarrassed: "It's really a shame to let the princess worry about such a small matter. Then I will accept it."

Yan Ruyu nodded and reminded: "The child is still young, try to avoid pollen. Some people are born with allergies. The young baby can't speak, so it's better to be careful."

"Allergy?" Mrs. Cao was puzzled.

"It's just that they can't accept this kind of thing. The body will have reactions in many ways, some will cause sneezing, some will cause redness of the skin, and some will cause difficulty breathing."

"Food like pollen, peanuts, and almonds can all be allergens."

Mrs. Cao nodded and remembered it firmly, and Miss Cao also kept it in mind.

After putting the flowers away, Mrs. Cao asked about Yan Ruyu and the Wu family.

Yan Ruyu did not hide anything and told her about what happened to the Wu family later. When she mentioned that the eldest lady of the Wu family went to Qingfeng Temple, Madam Cao was furious.

"What a pity. She was a good person, but she married into such a family and suffered so much injustice. Her husband is useless. It's really... a pity."

Yan Ruyu didn't comment. Under this system, divorce was not easy. Besides, where to go after divorce was also a problem.

Yan Ruyu asked herself whether she had the ability to change the social system by her own efforts at the moment.

We can only save someone, such as Song Yiyi, or give the women of the Rong family something to do so that they can earn money with their own hands.

But it takes a lot of effort to pull people out of a quagmire like the Wu family.

Seeing that she seemed to be lost in thought, Mrs. Cao quickly gave her a look, saying that it was a rare opportunity for her to come, so she shouldn't talk about such unpleasant things.

Madam Cao quickly changed the subject: "Princess, you must come to the baby's full moon banquet."

Yan Ruyu collected her thoughts and said, "Of course, if Madam hadn't personally sent the invitation, I would have come."

He looked back at the child and nodded his forehead: "I also prepared a gift for the little guy."

Madam Cao was pleasantly surprised: "Thank you, Princess, for taking the trouble. This little guy knows nothing. There is no need to prepare a gift."

Yan Ruyu was about to speak when Madam Cao said, "Why not let me, as his grandmother, enjoy it for him?"

Yan Ruyu: "..."

Miss Cao: "...and his mother."

"We have everything, don't worry." Yan Ruyu said with a smile.

Both mother and daughter were happy and satisfied.

As they were talking and laughing, Governor Cao's voice rang out in the yard: "Is the princess here?"

Madam Cao was puzzled: "Isn't the court session going on in front? Is it over so soon?"

Just as he was about to go out to ask, Governor Cao had already arrived at the outer room, still wearing his official uniform.

"Princess, I have something important to report."

Everyone in the room smiled slightly.

Judging from the words and tone, it doesn't sound like it's about the court hearing.

Yan Ruyu stood up and went to the outer room: "Cao Governor, what's wrong?"

Governor Cao drank half a cup of tea quickly and said, "I just left the court and received the news. I wanted to go and see the prince and princess, but I heard that the princess is here, so I came to report."

"what news?"

Seeing his expression, Yan Ruyu had a bad feeling.

Governor Cao whispered, "It's news from the posthouse that the Ninth Princess... was assassinated."

Yan Ruyu's eyebrows twitched slightly: "What? When did it happen?"

"It was today. The postmaster of the post station came to report the news. His face was as sad as a bitter gourd. I felt that something was wrong with this matter. I wanted to report it to the prince first, and then check it out to avoid falling into their trap."

Yan Ruyu stroked the gong on her wrist, seeming to be thinking about something.
