Early the next morning.

As soon as Ruan Zhen had finished her breakfast, Mrs. Xu's mother Wang came over to send a message.

"We will set off after a stick of incense. Don't let your wife wait, girl."

Ruan Zhen wears a white orchid collar and a primrose-colored long skirt. Even though she is elegantly dressed, her eyes are full of clear waves and her face is like hibiscus.

Mother Wang scolded Hu Meizi in a low voice, but she did not dare to show her disdain.

Ruan Zhen kept rubbing the rabbit's head.

"Um."

Mother Wang took a step forward, but she smiled particularly flatteringly: "Although she used to comfort Duke Dingguo's wife, she is a mistress who doesn't act according to common sense. I heard that she had gone to three houses, and those ladies were blocked outside the house.

.I didn’t even meet him in person.”

"Girl, there's no need to worry, it's just a formality."

Ruan Zhen raised his eyes and glanced at her, and it was not difficult to guess the intention of Mrs. Wang.

It's just asking for credit in front of her.

This kind of person can act according to the prevailing circumstances. The master he has served since he was a child can always betray his master at the slightest suggestion. Fortunately, he has something to control.

Ruan Zhen was not interested: "Well, you can go down."

Mother Wang immediately stopped talking, nodded and bowed, and quickly left.

As soon as she left, Tan Yun couldn't help but curl his lips.

"In the past, girls have never been asked to come forward on occasions like this. Since it's just a formality, why let the girl go along?"

Mother Ge could guess a thing or two about Mrs. Fan's intentions. She hesitated to speak and finally endured it.

This time when she went out, Ruan Zhen did not let Tan Yun and Mama Ge follow her.

The carriage was already ready. Ruan Zhen leaned in and looked up at Mrs. Xu's well-groomed face.

Mrs. Xu looked at Ruan Zhen critically.

Then……

I really can’t find anything to fault!

She was angry at this fact.

The wheels roll and grind across the ground.

Ruan Zhen said hello, sat down, and without saying a word, she hooked her fingertips on the curtain, gently pulled open a corner, and looked towards the deserted street.

"What's there to see? The Imperial Guards are searching for assassins from house to house right now. Look, who else is there on this street?"

Xu's yin and yang are strange.

"Of course, your knowledge is shallow. You have never seen such a scene, so you are inevitably curious. I don't blame you."

Ruan Zhen retracted her hand, picked up the tea cup on the desk and took a sip.

"The lipstick my sister-in-law put on was too bright and made her skin tone dull."

"The makeup is too thick and makes me look sharp."

When Mrs. Xu heard this, she quickly took out the bronze mirror she carried with her.

Before Ruan Zhen said anything, she thought it was okay, but when Ruan Zhen mentioned it...

It does seem a bit darker.

This dress is a little too fierce, and the gentleness of my daughter's family is gone!

"Then what should I apply?" She rarely asked for advice humbly, but her tone was aggressive and her condescending attitude remained the same.

Seeing her anxious expression, Ruan Zhen just smiled lightly, her voice was soft, and her fingertips stroked the veins and texture of the tea cup.

"I have little knowledge and don't understand these things."

Xu:???

Damn it!

This little vixen!

She was so angry that her heart ached, and she raised her voice so high-pitched that Ruan Zhen frowned: "Just say what I want you to say, don't beat around the bush here!"

Ruan Zhen, on the other hand, said with all her might: "I won't do anything at home in front of my sister-in-law."

Mrs. Xu: She must drive Ruan Zhen out!!!

Hua Chaojie will find someone to marry for her so as not to be an eyesore.

It's ridiculous, last night before going to bed, Fan Kun told her to go out and take good care of Ruan Zhen.

He doesn't feel sorry for himself, so much so that he cares about a girl with a foreign surname?

She can be so angry that she still needs to be taken care of?

————

The door of Dingguo Palace is closed.

In the whole house, no one dared to make a noise. People were in panic.

"Auntie, don't worry. There are imperial doctors taking care of you in the palace. Gu Huaizhi is a very smart man. What can happen to him?"

Yi Lin saw the green color in Sheng Wan's eyes and knew that she had not slept all night, so he could only follow Sheng's father's wishes and persuade her to stay.

Sheng Wan looked tired, but still full of energy.

She has never been easy to dismiss.

Not seeing Gu Huai once made me feel uneasy.

"The reason you came over to me early in the morning and said these things is just to prevent me from entering the palace. If there is no mistake, it was my brother who summoned you. Tell me the truth. What's going on with Brother Huai?"

Yi Lin resisted the pressure and lied as he opened his mouth. He shook his fan and played with two gold ingots in his other hand as always.

"The injury is real, but in fact the wound is not deep. The dancer is one of our own, how could she really stab him in the heart?"

"Gu Huaizhi didn't want to fight an uncertain battle, so he asked his aunt from the Sheng family to accompany him. Isn't it just to accompany you? I don't want you to think too much."

Mrs. Sheng, who was worried, breathed a sigh of relief.

He turned to Sheng Wan and said, "I'm just saying that Brother Huai is blessed with good fortune and he is filial. Your birthday is coming soon. How could something happen at this juncture to make you worried?"

Sheng Wan's eyelids twitched all night, and now he seemed to believe it or not.

"No matter what, I have to go into the palace and have a look. As a mother, I don't think anyone will stop me from going into the palace to see my son."

Yi Lin:???

He knew it! He knew that Gu Huaizhi was so difficult to deal with that he couldn't have anything to do with Sheng Wan.

Seeing Sheng Wan walking away, he could only lower his voice.

"The emperor is old, and the Chi family is forced to dominate Lin'an through the help of the unworthy prince. Who doesn't complain about the deaths of everyone in Prince Jing's house that year?"

Everyone present understood what he said.

Sheng Wan's heart skipped a beat, but he couldn't move a step further.

She closed her eyes, still remembering Princess Jing's gentle voice.

——A-Wan, Brother Huai thinks my little princess is noisy, but I always feel that this baby is still a daughter, and she is very well-behaved. How about being Brother Huai’s wife?

——A-Wan, the late emperor passed away and the new emperor ascended the throne, I am a little afraid. I have not been able to sleep well these days.

Later, a piece of trumped-up evidence fell for no reason.

Hefu was exiled thousands of miles.

She had too much time to take care of herself but did not forget to comfort herself.

——A-Wan, don’t cry, it’s not like you will disappear in this life.

King Jing won the hearts of the people, and the people who begged for mercy knelt at the gate of the city and cried out that they were wronged. But in the end, he was convicted of shielding the guilty minister and disturbing the people's hearts, and he ended up with his body and head missing.

More than a thousand lives were lost up and down, dyeing half of the sky in Lin'an red.

The hands under Sheng's sleeves tightened and loosened, then loosened and tightened again. The corners of his eyes were slightly red: "Is he really okay?"

"If I lie, I will become a pauper. Now you can trust me."

If someone who knows his stuff can say something like this, it is more effective than all guarantees.

Sheng Wan finally breathed a sigh of relief. She glanced at Yi Lin.

"I believe it."

Yi Lin pinched Jin Yuanbao and said, "Okay, it's time for me to leave. I still have some things to deal with."

"I'll send you off." Sheng Qinan finally said the first words after Yi Lin arrived.

Yi Lin waved his fan and swaggered out of the yard. When he was far away, he glanced sideways at Sheng Qinan from the corner of his eye.

"You kid, you must be holding back your bad intentions. You actually said you would see me off at such a short distance. You were not so sensible before. Why do you want to take advantage of this opportunity and no one will take care of you and run away to become a monk?"

It was rare for Sheng Qinan not to have a quarrel with him.
