After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 17 Inquiry
Cheng Zhushi was leading the juniors to finish prostration, when he heard the commotion here, he turned his head and saw that it was Zhaorong, and his face was a little bit uncomfortable.

She came over quickly, and she couldn't scold the eldest princess, but she scolded Ruan Yuyi, "You bastard! Clumsy bastard who has lived blind for so many years! Don't say that the eldest princess has a body of ten thousand gold, or the fetus in the womb, cut alive You can't afford it either!"

There were already many people looking at this side frequently, she didn't dare to reprimand loudly, so she could only lower her voice and gritted her teeth.

Although Ruan Yuyi knew Cheng Zhushi's temperament clearly, she also knew that she had always wanted to cling to the rich and powerful and was dissatisfied with her background, but in front of her was an elder whom she had respected for a long time. pantothenic acid.

Cheng Zhushi may not be unable to see the reason, but such unfathomable partiality and harsh words made her feel even more chilled.

"Aunt," Ruan Yuyi met her eyes and said softly, "Whether you believe it or not, I never meant to hurt the eldest princess."

Seeing Zhaorong's pale face, Cheng Xingqiuyuan's heart tightened, and he turned his head to reprimand him, but he saw the pavilion standing there with shaved shoulders, plain waist, and a sick look between his brows.

Suddenly I couldn't speak anymore.

He took a deep look at Ruan Yuyi, and said to Cheng Zhushi, "Mother, Zhaorong is not feeling well, I'll take her to rest on the bench outside."

Hearing this, Cheng Zhu said quickly, "Go quickly, step carefully on the steps. Your Highness is frightened, and I will definitely teach Miss Yi a lesson." She frowned so tightly that her eyelids covered most of her eyes. Dirty eyes revealed.

Zhaorong nodded slightly.

She grew up in the deep palace since she was a child, and she was used to seeing concubines fighting for the favor of the former emperor, so she was more or less affected by it, but how could a princess use these methods, so the methods used to deal with a person were inevitably clumsy without knowing it.

Cheng Xingqiu walked out of the hall with his arms around her shoulders.

Seeing that people left, Cheng Zhushi turned his face, and his tone was a little relaxed, "I don't care about right and wrong, you just remember to follow the eldest princess. During this period of time, you stay in peace and spend more time with Rui'er than Rui'er. When Qiu'er's marriage is finalized, I will remember your kindness."

Ruan Yuyi remained silent.

"Mother, mother——" Cheng Rui saw his mother's dark face, felt her sullenness, and only dared to tug on her sleeve a little, as if he had something to say.

Cheng Zhushi turned around and straightened his messy hair, "What's wrong with Ruier, do you want to go out to play with your brother?"

He shook his head like a rattle, struggling to express in a loud voice, "No, it's not for fun. Mother, don't be angry with Sister Yi'er, I saw that it wasn't Sister Yi'er who dropped the booklet...she Didn't drop the booklet..."

"You see what you see." Is this a question of falling or not?Luckily, her silly son didn't say it in front of the eldest princess, otherwise the matter still doesn't know how it will end.

Cheng Zhushi stretched out his hand and pushed Cheng Rui, who leaned back slightly and closed his mouth aggrieved.

She was waiting to teach Ruan Yuyi another lesson, but she heard someone not far away say leisurely:

"A fool can clearly discern things, but my wife is confused, isn't it worse than him?"

The man in his thirties came pacing, his voice was piercing, his eyes were contemptuous, and he seemed to be calm and pretentious.

He took a look at Ruan Yuyi, saw her looking towards him, nodded, and smiled slightly.

"Who are you?" Cheng Zhushi choked, feeling a little guilty, and wanted to put on the posture of a noble wife, "but you come to meddle in other people's business."

The curvature of Wen Zhi's lips remained unchanged, but his eyes were indifferent.

He shouldn't have cared about it, isn't this the master's order for him to follow this girl?I didn't know what the wife of a sixth-rank official was worth for him to investigate, but when I saw her today, I suddenly realized that it was this rare face.

It's just that the master knows that the eldest princess has something to do with the girl's husband.

"I don't care if you are idle or not," he opened his eyes wide, and his tone was slow and penetrating. "Under the eyes of the Buddha, the lady still behaves like this. If you make that angry—I don't know if you come to the Holy Land!" Does He Temple have nothing to ask for?"

Seeing that Cheng Zhushi panicked, he couldn't help turning his head to look at the golden Buddha, "If you don't know right from wrong, then it's better to gouge out these eyes and feed them to my livestock."

His eyes were deep, as if he had life on his hands.

Cheng Zhushi knew that the person in front of him was not easy to provoke, his chest heaved violently, his lips were murmured, and he couldn't say a word.

Ruan Yuyi stood on the side, seeing that her aunt was terribly threatened, but she didn't mean to speak for her.She was still holding her breath in her heart, so she just quietly lowered her eyelashes, pretending she didn't see it.

Cheng Zhushi really felt that the man with a soft face in front of him would do such a thing, "You, you dare? You are not afraid of me reporting to the police."

Report to the official?In the whole world, is it the king's land, all the officials, big and small, are not under the jurisdiction of the master.Wen Zhi sneered.

When Cheng Zhushi saw the other party laughing, he didn't take her seriously at all, and his lips trembled with anger.

Seeing this, Ruan Yuyi was really afraid that she would get angry, "Auntie, if you are worried about Your Highness, go outside and see the situation." In the mansion, except for Master Cheng, she is the biggest one, when has she ever been so angry.

Given the reason, she naturally hurried down the steps, thinking that this was not a loss of face.

Ruan Yuyi watched her go away, turned around and blessed, "Thank you for your help, my lord."

"Girl, you're welcome." Wen Zhi had a gentle expression towards her.

When Wen Zhi walked to the backyard of the temple, the rain that had just stopped not long ago began to fall again. He walked to a wing room and knocked on the closed door twice.

"master."

A deep voice came from inside, "Come in."

Only then did he dare to open the door, walked up to Jiang Huaiyang with small steps, and saluted.

"how?"

Jiang Huaiyang was leaning against the half-open window, the sky was overcast, only a little light penetrated through the window, illuminating one side of his face, showing the gentle appearance of an ordinary young man, while the other side was hidden in the dark.

"Found it, that girl is the wife of Cheng Xingqiu, editor of the Hanlin Academy, and she has been married for nearly two years." He quietly raised his eyelids, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw what seemed to be a hairpin in the master's hand.

Jiang Huaiyang paused when he was playing with the hairpin, his fingertips inevitably used some strength, and his eyes dimmed.

She is really good, she obviously has a family, but she still comes out to provoke others.

"Cheng Xingqiu?" He searched his memory, but found that he had no impression of this person.

Wen Zhi reminded, "It's the No. 31 scholar in Cheng'an's [-]st year. You were also present at the imperial examination."

Cheng'an was the reign name of the first emperor at that time.Having said that, he suddenly had some impressions, but he remembered that this person's talent was not the most outstanding one, why it was his turn to win the championship.

Wen Zhi hesitated, "It's just..."

"Just what?" His voice was light and lazy, as if he didn't care much about what he was going to hear next, but in fact, he subconsciously focused his attention on Wen Zhi's mouth.

"It's just that Cheng Xingqiu was rescued by His Royal Highness before." Wen Zhi didn't know whether he should tell the master what he said, but the master never liked them to hide it, so he said it out of his heart.

It was true that news had already reached his ears, that this perverse imperial sister had rescued a man, and she was getting closer to him recently, but at that time he was in the middle of a conspiracy, so he was not interested and had no time to investigate.

He loosened and squeezed his fingertips, grasped the top of the hairpin, and fiddled with the pearl tassels on it, just like playing with the owner's black hair, and the look back at her that day under the banyan tree suddenly appeared in his mind.

Because Ruan Yuyi was already married, according to Dawu's etiquette, her hair was not allowed to be loose, but he knew that her hair must be soft to the touch when he saw that cloudy bun and the way she didn't apply any hair oil.

Wen Zhi will secretly follow what Ruan Yuyi saw today, and every time he glances up, he can see that the master's face is a little darker than the previous one.

After finally finishing speaking with a frightened heart, Jiang Huaiyang suddenly ordered:
"Put this hairpin away and put it in my bedroom."

bedroom?Could it be that the master treats this woman with a family... Wen Zhi restrained his thoughts and didn't dare to speculate.
