Pampering the outside room alone? I entered the East Palace to pass on the sick and weak prince

As she spoke, she reached out and picked up a string of agate bracelets in the box.

"This agate is so beautiful. It would look great if I wore it!"

Taoye scolded immediately.

"Put it down! This is the betrothal gift given to the young lady by His Highness King Ling. How can you touch it at will?"

"Let me see, why are you reacting so loudly? Besides, you are just a maid, and I am the cousin of the General's Mansion!"

As she said that, she looked at Shen Ruoxi with displeasure on her face.

"Do you think so, cousin?"

"Your surname is Chen, and my lady's surname is Shen. For relatives who can't be hit with eight poles, don't use chicken feathers as seasonal arrows!"

Taoye snatched the things from her hands and put them back into the box.

Chen Shuangshuang was extremely angry.

She looked at Shen Ruoxi: "Cousin, look at your maid, she is so unruly!"

Shen Ruoxi looked at her coldly.

"An appearance is worth three thousand miles. Your so-called cousin is far inferior to the master-servant relationship that Taoye and I have. You should be smart and show your identity!"

Chen Shuangshuang's expression was stern.

She pouted.

"Cousin, I know you are angry that my mother and I took some of your things from the General's Mansion without permission after you left. But you have already punished us, so why are you still so angry?"

She looked at the betrothal gifts around her with a greedy light in her eyes.

"His Royal Highness Ling Wang has given you so many things. I'm afraid you won't be able to spend them all in a few lifetimes. Why don't you just give me some at random? I think the agate just now is good!"

Shen Ruoxi closed the box at hand with a "pop" sound.

"Chen Shuangshuang, I just thought you were stupid before. Why didn't I realize you were so stupid?"

She said disgustedly: "This is my betrothal gift. Are you going to give it away as you say? Get back to your yard, otherwise I will be rude to you!"

Chen Shuangshuang was also angry.

"If you don't give it, you won't give it. Why is your attitude so bad? Shen Ruoxi, my mother was kind to the general. I didn't expect you to know the kindness but not repay it. It's so vicious!"

Shen Ruoxi was too lazy to waste time with her.

She frowned in displeasure.

"Where's Leng Shuang? Let her teach me a lesson for this ignorant idiot!"

Tao Ye rolled up her sleeves: "Leng Shuang is not in the house, miss, don't worry, the slaves can handle her as well!"

With that said, Taoye rushed up, pulled Chen Shuangshuang's hair, and slapped her several times.

Chen Shuangshuang cried and screamed, but Taoye ignored her at all. After the beating, someone dragged her arm and threw Chen Shuangshuang into the courtyard behind.

Out of sight is pure.

Tao Ye clapped her palms with a look of disgust: "Miss, why are people like Chen Shuangshuang still staying in the mansion? From what I'm thinking, Yi Nu, just let her and her mother He Rong get out of the general's mansion!"

"It's not difficult to get her out, but if we drive them out, they will complain everywhere and ruin the reputation of the general's mansion. I don't care, but I can't let my father and brothers be implicated. Besides..."

Shen Ruoxi's eyes turned cold for a moment: "Just driving them away would be too advantageous for them."

"Since the young lady is doing this, she must have her own reasons. I think, according to Chen Shuangshuang's temperament, it won't be long before she gets into big trouble."

Shen Ruoxi smiled.

This is true.

She had previously asked Leng Shuang to keep an eye on Chen Shuangshuang and He Rong, knowing their ambitions.

Soon, they will be seeking their own death.

Thinking of Leng Shuang, Shen Ruoxi looked around and asked casually.

"By the way, where did Leng Shuang go? Didn't you see her early this morning?"

Taoye said softly.

"Miss, Leng Shuang has nothing to do. He went to climb the fourth prince's wall and watch the fun."

"What's there to see?"

"This... this slave doesn't know either."

Taoye touched her nose: "When she comes back, I will tell her that she will go less often in the future."

"No need, if she finds out something big happening, remember to ask her to tell me so that I can be happy too."

Taoye: "...Yes."

At this time, the atmosphere in Murong Yu's mansion was very gloomy.

Jing Liu knelt in front of Murong Yu.

"Your Highness, the betrothal gift has been delivered to the General's Mansion today. I heard that it was placed from the front door of the General's Mansion to the backyard, load after load. The pomp was even greater than when you first married Miss Shen..."

"Murong Heng has really spent a lot of money. By doing this, isn't he slapping me in the face!?"

He asked: "What about Shen Ruoxi? What was her expression like when she received these betrothal gifts?"

"This...slave doesn't know."

Hearing this, Murong Yu had a dark face and paced back and forth in the room, wishing he could go to the general's mansion immediately to find out what was going on.

But now he is being grounded and cannot even leave the house.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and he kicked Jing Liu who was kneeling on the ground.

"It's all my fault for being such a useless thing that you can't even deliver a letter! If you had successfully handed the letter to Shen Ruoxi last time and asked her to meet me, things might not have developed to this point!"

"Your Highness, you can't blame the slave. The slave can't even get through the door of the General's Mansion."

Jing Liu rubbed his chest and couldn't help but whisper: "Besides... Your Highness, I feel that Miss Shen really doesn't want to meet you this time..."

"Shut up! What do you know?! How could Shen Ruoxi just say let me go? She agreed to marry Murong Heng in such a short period of time. I think she probably still has resentment in her heart and is a bit angry."

But after saying this, Murong Yu felt inexplicably guilty.

After all, he couldn't hold himself back.

"Let's do this, you go to the General's Mansion again, just to send gifts. The General's Mansion can't turn you away. When you see Shen Ruoxi, you can hand this to her and she will understand. Understand what it means.”

After saying that, Murong Yu reached out and took out a delicately embroidered purse from his arms.

This was given to Shen Ruoxi when she was sixteen years old.

There are red beans in it, which means lovesickness.

After he got it back, he threw it away.

Murong Yu was in the house these days, and suddenly thought of this matter. He searched for it for several days in a daze, and finally found it.

This is the only old thing she has left.

She liked him so much back then, but now she will be touched when she sees this purse, right?

"You must take this purse and hand it to Shen Ruoxi personally, do you know that?"

"Yes, this slave knows."

Jing Liu put his wallet in his pocket and went out.

However, in the afternoon, Jing Liu did not come back.

He was so anxious that he was about to send someone to look for him, but he saw Jing Liu being carried in by the servants of the mansion.

Murong Yu was shocked.

"What's going on here?"

"Your Highness..."

Jing Liu cried sadly: "I took a shortcut in order to get to the General's Mansion as early as possible, but unexpectedly I was knocked unconscious in the alley and didn't wake up until the evening."

"Who is so bold that he even dares to hit my servant?!"

"I don't know, I don't know. I didn't see the perpetrator at all." Jing Liu lowered his eyes, feeling a little guilty, "Your Highness, all the money on my body was taken away, and the purse you gave me... too Gone.”

"Gone?!"

Murong Yu almost didn't come up in one breath.

"Idiot! You can't even do such a thing!"

Murong Yu was so angry that he almost wanted to kick him to death.

"Carry it away for me, you will be upset when you see this stupid thing!"

The servants quickly carried Jing Liu and left in a panic.

Murong Yu walked a few steps in the courtyard, feeling irritated, when suddenly a maid hurried over.

"Your Highness..."

"what's up?"

"Your Highness, Miss Ning woke up and said she wanted to see Your Highness..."
