When the daylight drove away the darkness, Fan Kun felt slightly tired and top-heavy as he left Zhengxuan Residence and went to court.

His face was a bit ugly, and the blue hairs under his eyes were obvious. He must have been up all night.

Empty.

Apart from this, everything was as usual. There was no disturbance at all.

But after all, there is something different.

Tan Yun vividly picked up the news he heard from the kitchen and said: "I heard that all the slaves in Zhengxuan Residence were tortured so much last night. The master in the house asked for water no less than five times. This has never happened before.

.”

Mother Ge's expression suddenly changed, and she reprimanded with a straight face: "Why are you mentioning these nasty words in front of a girl!"

Tan Yun looked confused: "I just want to ask why you screamed all night. Could it be that Mr. Biao also started beating people?"

As she said that, she looked at Ruan Zhen.

Ge's mother was angry: "What do you think the girl is doing? What does the girl know?"

Ruan Zhen's heart skipped a beat.

She really knows.

But how can a girl who has not left the court understand this?

The woman's face was always calm, and she heard herself pretending to be confused.

"It can't be that Mrs. Xu was beaten to death. The Hou Mansion, considering its reputation, refused to summon the doctor? Beating the main wife is indeed a shameful thing. Otherwise, how could we not have heard the slightest news? Even Mrs. Xu, who loves her daughter so much

None of them came to question or support Mr. Xu."

As she said this, she threw the problem to Ge's mother with guilt in her heart.

"Mom, what do you think?"

Tan Yun saw that Ruan Zhen's analysis was very reasonable. He nodded and looked at Ge's mother.

Facing two pairs of innocent and clear eyes, especially Ruan Zhen's watery eyes, anyone who sees them can't help but feel love and pity.

Mother Ge: ...I suddenly feel pressure.

After all, they are all girls, and they know little about these men and women. It is not surprising.

For a long while, she was vague.

"Maybe."

Tan Yun kneaded the motionless stupid rabbit, but he fell into a dead end.

"But if that's the case, it shouldn't be."

"I came out of the yard this morning and met Mrs. Wang. She looked so happy. Her smile made her tremble."

If Mr. Xu was really in trouble, Mrs. Wang wouldn't even have time to cry.

Ruan Zhen:...Why do you want to get to the bottom of this kind of thing?

However, based on Wang's mother's reaction, it seems that Xu succeeded.

Ruan Zhen's eyes flashed and she fell into deep thought.

Will drinking the medicine affect your health? How long can Mr. Xu be proud of it?

Does she have to talk to Mu Jiu, who has been struggling with Cao Xin for a long time and talked about it many times?

Mother Ge:......

She made a quick decision and reached out to pinch Tan Yun's ears without saying a word.

"I've told you several times, don't ask about things over there at Zhengxuan Residence."

"Now many pairs of eyes in the Marquis' Mansion are staring at the girl. Although she is protected by the Duke's Mansion, because of this, Mrs. Fan has lost her face so much. How can she not be angry?"

But you must not keep your mouth shut. If these words are heard by someone who is interested, giving the girl a blame for lax discipline will not only cause trouble.

Tan Yun was in pain at the moment: "Don't say it anymore, don't say it anymore, mother, please be gentle."

——

After all, Ruan Zhen worked hard on the embroidery in the next few days, and finally finished it overnight before Sheng Wan's birthday party.

The next day, she got up very early.

Ruan Zhen has a fair foundation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she has icy muscles and jade bones.

She has an immortal posture and a graceful face. She looks beautiful everywhere she looks. She wears a lake blue cross-collared turban and a pear-white long skirt. She has dark eyebrows and apricot eyes, and a face like a hibiscus.

Mother Ge twirled her hair nimbly with her fingers: "This dress is good, not too plain and elegant, and not overpowering the guest."

Ruan Zhen looked at the woman in the bronze mirror with calm eyes.

Then she lowered her eyes and said in a soft voice: "I don't know why these days, I always feel flustered."

As soon as she said this, Mother Ge shook her hands and her newly tied bun fell down.

Ruan Zhen smiled softly at her.

There was never any commotion at Zhengxuanju.

Except for the women chatting in low voices from time to time and praising Fan Kun for his bravery, they were all vulgar words and there was nothing else.

If she hadn't seen Mr. Xu walking cautiously with his flat belly in his hands, she would have suspected that he was not drugged.

"I have been keeping an eye on it. I thought it would be good for us if this incident would cause chaos in the house."

But they had to wait and wait until they noticed Fan Kun's eyes staring at their yard before going anywhere else.

Ruan Zhen took out the earrings from the jewelry box.

"Nowadays, city gate searches are much laxer. On the day of the Flower Festival, in addition to the banquet held at the General's Mansion, Lin'an Street will be even more lively, with an endless stream of vendors and tourists. The night market will be opened, and the curfew will be lifted. Many people will enter Beijing.

"

"Mother Ge, you still need to go out to take care of the carriage matter."

Mama Ge is serious, does Ruan Zhen mean to leave on the day of the Flower Festival?

Also, to avoid having too many dreams in daily life.

"Don't worry, girl, the horse we raised last time is now strong and strong. I have already found a driver."

Mama Ge handles things safely, and Ruan Zhen always feels at ease.

Just as he was about to say something else, Tan Yun opened the curtain and walked in from the outside.

"Girl, the old lady sent Mrs. Shen who is waiting by her side to deliver the message."

Then he said angrily: "A woman who delivers messages is just a slave in the final analysis. Is it possible that there are others in the ranks? Don't be angry with her, girl."

Send a message?

What kind of monster is Mrs. Fan planning to do?

Ruan Zhen was shocked in her heart, but it didn't show on her face.

"Invite her in."

Soon, Tan Yun led the well-dressed mother-in-law inside.

I saw a gold bracelet hanging on the woman's wrist and a silver hairpin in her bun.

Mrs. Shen is an old man in the house. She has served Mrs. Fan for many years and has been able to speak well even in front of Fan Cheng.

As soon as she entered, she took a look at Ruan Zhen, and then said, "Greetings to the girl."

Ruan Zhen let her look at her and said calmly.

"If you have anything to say, Madam, I'll just make a trip. I'd rather bother Mom to make this trip specifically."

Mrs. Shen said sternly: "How dare you refuse when summoned by the master? This is the duty of an old slave. If a slave is not like a slave, wouldn't the prince's mansion be in chaos?"

Duty?

Ruan Zhen felt enlightened when she heard these two words with obviously accentuated tone.

Mrs. Fan specifically asked her to show off her power.

"The whole family shares weal and woe. If it weren't for the Hou Mansion, how would the girl be today? If you go out today, even if you recognize your godmother, after all, you are still a member of the Hou Mansion, and you must maintain the dignity of the Hou Mansion."

Ruan Zhen listened to her quietly without saying a word.
