rebirth after cruelty

Jun Zehui still treated Shuo Lin with a condescending and predatory tone as before.

On the contrary, Shuo Lin said unhurriedly, "Eldest Princess."

Seeing that he was still the same, Jun Zehui's mood naturally improved a lot.

Looking at such an eldest princess, Feng Ruqing knew very well that her days in the capital might be difficult for her.

Xu Ran hurriedly said, "I still have something important to do, so I will leave first."

Jun Zehui stared at him and said, "Is there anything more important than welcoming me?"

"My sister is ill." Xu Ran said again, "If the eldest princess is free, when she recovers, call her to catch up on the old days."

"Oh." Seeing what Xu Ran said, Jun Zehui didn't care anymore.

Just nodded gently, "Go."

Feng Ruqing saluted with Shuo Lin, and when Jun Zehui left first, they got into the carriage.

She looked at Xu Ran and said, "Why did the eldest princess come back suddenly?"

"I don't know." Xu Ran also frowned.

Feng Ruqing pondered for a moment, "It's really weird to come back at this time."

"It's too weird." Xu Ran said lightly.

Shuo Lin also had a sad face.

Of course he knows Jun Zehui's thoughts, so, all these years, he has been avoiding it, but no matter how he thought of it, he still ran into it.

Feng Ruqing turned her head to look at Shuo Lin, "Brother, did the eldest princess take a fancy to you?"

"Ahem..." Shuo Lin choked on the tea.

Xu Ran curled his lips into a smile, "It's no longer a secret."

"The emperor will not agree." Shuo Lin said coldly.

Feng Ruqing seemed to understand something.

Perhaps, in the previous life, the reason why Shuo Lin did not become an official was because he was also worried that he would be coerced by the eldest princess.

Feng Ruqing sighed secretly, this is really a headache.

Shuo Lin was not in a good mood.

Seeing his rarely gloomy face, Xu Ran was very happy.

He looked at Feng Ruqing and said, "The eldest princess has coveted him for a long time."

Feng Ruqing immediately glared at him, "Gloating?"

"No." Xu Ran is now asking for help, so he quickly covered his mouth and shook his head in denial.

Feng Ruqing snorted coldly, turned her head and ignored him.

Only then did Xu Ran calm down.

When they arrived at Xu Mansion, Shuo Lin got out of the carriage with Xu Ran.

Xu Ran blinked, "Aren't you worried about being seen?"

"Shicai has already been seen." Shuo Lin said helplessly, "There is no need to hide."

Feng Ru listened to these words, why was she so awkward?

She didn't think about it anymore, but got off the carriage, looked up and said, "Let's go."

"En." Xu Ran nodded, and then brought Feng Ruqing and Shuolin into the mansion together.

It's just that Xu Ran invited Shuo Lin to his yard first, and then took Feng Ruqing to Mrs. Xu.

When Mrs. Xu saw Feng Ruqing, it was rare for her to show that forced kindness.

Feng Ruqing turned towards Mrs. Xu, "Ruqing has met Mrs. Xu."

"It's making Miss Feng bother." Mrs. Xu said in a low voice.

Feng Ru narrowed her eyes, "It's not easy to refuse Mr. Xu's entrustment."

Mrs. Xu's face darkened, but since she was asking for help from others, she could only suppress the dissatisfaction in her heart.

Feng Ruqing looked at her and said, "What exactly happened in this back house, please ask Mrs. Xu to explain."

"Okay." Mrs. Xu said, "It happened five days ago."

That day, Xu Qinhan chatted with several younger sisters in the house in the back garden, and they had a happy chat, and they didn't go back until evening.

After returning to the yard, she felt tired and fell asleep.

But for some reason, in the middle of the night, he suddenly screamed and babbled nonsense.

Mrs. Xu looked at Feng Ruqing, "It doesn't work even after looking for a doctor."

"So, what happened to those who went to the banquet together that day?" Feng Ruqing said bluntly.

"Exactly." Mrs. Xu nodded.

"Who are they?" Feng Ruqing asked again.

"It's just a few sisters from each house." Mrs. Xu's eyes were red.

It wasn't until this time that Mrs. Xu showed her love for her daughter.

Feng Ruqing then said, "I'll go to the place where Miss Xu attended the banquet first."

"Okay." Mrs. Xu nodded her head.

"It's better to let someone I know take me there." Feng Ruqing said bluntly.

"You can take it with you." Mrs. Xu said to Nanny Zhang, who was at the side.

"Yes." Nanny Zhang leaned towards Feng Ru, "Miss Feng, please."

Mrs. Xu watched Feng Ruqing leave with her eyes.

She looked at Xu Ran and said, "If it wasn't for her ability now, I wouldn't want her to enter Xu's house again."

"Why does mother have such a big prejudice against her?" Xu Ran couldn't help asking.

"Looking at it, it's not easy to get along with each other." Mrs. Xu said indifferently.

"On the contrary, my son thinks that she has a straightforward temper, doesn't hide it, and has never been harmful to others. If she didn't care about it and was open-minded by nature, how could she come here regardless of the past after what my son did to her before? Xu Ran looked at Mrs. Xu and said, "Mother, my son doesn't understand, why don't you like her?"

"Hey." Mrs. Xu sighed heavily, "Such a temperament cannot exist in the Xu family."

Mrs. Xu's words made Xu Ran realize once again that what the Xu family wanted was the kind of woman instilled in him earlier.

She seems to be as gentle as water, charming and charming, but in fact... has a deep mind and harbors evil intentions.

Such a woman can also be used by the Xu family.

However, Xu Ran just didn't like it.

Maybe, before he met Feng Ruqing, he would love her in a paralyzed way, but now...

He knew exactly what he wanted.

He didn't want to be tied down by the last bit he could have.

Even if, he knew very well that Feng Ruqing would not have any results with him.

Xu Ran didn't dare to hope too much.

Xu Ran slightly cupped his hands towards Mrs. Xu, "My son still has guests to accompany me, so I'll take my leave first."

"Hey." Mrs. Xu couldn't hold back her son, so she might as well leave this matter to his father.

"By the way, the eldest princess has returned to Beijing." Xu Ran said and left.

When Madam Xu heard this, she couldn't help sighing again.

Still not too messy?
What exactly is going on?

Feng Ruqing looked at Nanny Zhang beside her, "How are the others doing now?"

"It's the same as Missy." She replied, "Miss Feng calls the old slave Nanny Zhang."

"Okay." Feng Ru replied with downcast eyes.

Nanny Zhang took Feng Ruqing to the Wind and Rain Pavilion in the back garden.

There is a small river next to the pavilion, and you can see the clear river flowing unhurriedly.

In the end, they converged into the lotus pond not far away.

Now it is the season of lotus appreciation, the lotus in the distance is layered and colorful, and further away is a Wangshan Pavilion, a breeze blows, even Feng Ruqing can feel the fragrance of the flowers.

Feng Ruqing stood in the corridor, stared into the distance for a long time, then turned back to the pavilion.

"Have you put away all the things you used that day?" Feng Ruqing asked.

"It's all here." Nanny Zhang replied, "That day was also weird. After the ladies left, because it was getting dark, I thought about taking it back the next day, so I kept putting it away. I never thought..."

Feng Ruqing nodded lightly, then looked at the things placed in front of her.

The unused meals, after such a long time, are naturally rancid, and there are still some fruits and snacks.

She lowered her head to glance at the wine jug that was set aside, picked it up, and looked at it carefully.

This jug looks familiar.

She looked at it carefully, and then asked, "Where is this jug?"

"It was bestowed by the Empress Dowager." Nanny Zhang replied, "On weekdays, Missy would use it for drinking."

"Oh." Feng Ruqing nodded.

No wonder.

In her previous life, she remembered that Jun Haomo also had one, but that one had hidden secrets.

Feng Ruqing looked at the jug, and moved it lightly, there was indeed a mechanism.

She took it carefully, then turned to look at Lang Fu and Lang Ying who followed.

"Check it out." Feng Ruqing said calmly.

"Yes." Lang Fu took it with both hands.

Nanny Zhang looked at her, "This..."

"Are you worried about breaking it?" Feng Ruqing asked.

"Don't dare." Zhang Nanny narrowed her eyes and said.

Feng Ruqing curled her lips into a sneer and ignored her.

Lang Fu just tried it with the silver needle she was carrying, then put it aside.

She looked at Feng Ruqing, "Master, the subordinates can't see what it is?"

"Take this contaminated one and find Mr. Xu at the front." Feng Ruqing said slowly.

"Yes." Langfu went.

Seeing Langfu's disdain for the jug, Zhang Momo looked at Feng Ruqing again, and thought to herself, usually, the eldest lady would hold this jug to entertain guests in order to show off the empress dowager's reward.

But, why is it not worth mentioning in her eyes?

Feng Ruqing looked at Nanny Zhang again, "Where is Miss Xu sitting?"

"It's right here." Nanny Zhang said, looking at where Feng Ruqing was sitting.

Feng Ruqing looked sideways at the distance.

She saw something falling from the window sill.

When she walked to the window lattice, she saw catkins falling down, but it didn't look like catkins, but it didn't look like dandelions either.

Feng Ruqing took the veil and put it on top of the veil.

Langying walked up to her.

At this moment, Xu Ran was chatting with Shuo Lin.

Langfu came and handed him the stained handkerchief.

Xu Ran took it and looked at Shuo Lin again, "You are really careful."

"Check it out." Shuo Lin said.

"Okay." Xu Ran nodded and went.

"Where did you get this?" Shuo Lin looked at Lang Fu.

Xu Ran is also back.

"Miss Xu used the jug for banquets, and that jug hides a mechanism." Lang Fu replied.

"You said it was a reward from the Queen Mother?" Xu Ran asked.

"Exactly." Langfu replied.

"No wonder." Xu Ran said indifferently, "My sister is very precious in that jug, who would have thought that there would be a mechanism hidden in that jug?"

"So, I only guessed from her expression at that time." Xu Ran sighed.

Langfu just waited patiently.

After a while, his entourage came.

"My lord, it's covered with duckweed."

"Duckweed?" Xu Ran asked again, "This duckweed won't have this effect?"
