rich concubine

Chapter 1976
When I woke up early the next morning, after having breakfast, I went out and walked around the house.

Seeing two girls walking through another corridor, muttering something, Rong Yi paused slightly and called them.

"Greetings, sir." The two girls stamped their feet and hurriedly came over to greet Rong Yi.

Rong Yi raised her hand, looked at them, and said, "What were you talking about just now?"

The two girls looked at each other, seemingly hesitant.

"It's okay, I just vaguely heard something, but didn't hear it clearly, so I asked you to ask questions. It seems to be related to that crazy beauty, right?"

Only then did they say: "Yes, this morning, the slave went to the street to do shopping, and met her again. She was wearing only a pair of pajamas, sitting on a stone pier and shivering in the early morning."

Another said: "I guess he broke free from the rope again and ran away from home."

Rong Yi asked: "Has she always been so crazy, or has she been stimulated by something?"

There was a slight silence between the two, but they still spoke, in a low voice, as if they were afraid of being overheard.

"My lord, forgive me. We slaves are not allowed to talk nonsense about this matter. But when your lord asks me about it, I dare not not say it, for fear of scaring your lord."

Rong Yi smiled, pointed in front, and said, "It's not far from my residence, so you two can come with me and have a good chat with me."

Afterwards, a few people returned to the courtyard and closed the door. Rong Yi sat in the main room and said, "There is nothing to be afraid of in this blue sky and white sun. Just tell the truth."

A girl opened her mouth and said: "To tell you what my lord, this beauty is actually a pitiful person. She later contracted madness. She has been mad for so many years. All the doctors who have seen her say that her madness is It’s not going to get better.”

Another girl said: "I say she is pitiful, but in fact I don't think she is very pitiful. It is exactly what I said, poor people must be hateful. I heard that she is not a good person when she is sober. Na."

The girl who spoke earlier glanced at her and said, "Although she did something wrong before, over the years, even if she suffered from madness, she has never hurt anyone. She just looks a little scary. After all, she is She is honest and responsible, she just doesn't like to stay at home, she always likes to run to the street, and when she sees a girl, she will hold her hand and tell her to walk quickly."

After seeing what they said, Rong Yi interrupted and said, "So, you still haven't said why she got mad? Why did she have such a series of weird behaviors? Even if she was affected by There must be a source of excitement. If a good person is good at the beginning and suddenly goes crazy, there must be a reason."

At this time, both of them were a little hesitant. After hesitation, the girl who spoke earlier said: "I heard that she was contaminated with unclean things. Some people said that she was contaminated by something unclean. She was sorry and they came to find her. Revenge."

That's why she, a good-natured girl, became crazy and crazy. She has been restless at home for more than ten years.

Rong Yi was silent, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Seeing this, the girl thought it was frightening her and said hurriedly: "Actually, this is just a statement. It cannot be true. Please don't take it seriously."

Rong Yi smiled at her and said, "I wasn't scared. I was just thinking about something. As you said, it was Mei Niang who made her contract madness, right?"

When the two girls saw that she had thought of it, they did not deny it. They only said: "I asked a fairy to ask before. It is said that it is so. Sir, it is better not to mention her name. She is very resentful and we generally don't dare to mention it. Hers." There are some taboos that I dare not believe, otherwise, I will see what will happen to Meiniang.

(Again, I am not superstitious, this paragraph is just for plot needs, the background of this article is like this)
Rong Yi was silent for a moment, tapping her fingers on the table, making a crisp sound. She took a deep breath and said, "Then do you know why she provoked her? Did they have enmity before?"

The two girls acted in unison, nodded, and then said: "We are not allowed to spread this matter everywhere. Therefore, the slaves know very little. They only know that they were born in the same year. That beautiful mother has been crazy for many years. , although she can't see her face clearly on weekdays, her age has passed. Xian'er said that this is the punishment given to her by the deceased, because the evil hatred she forged in the world has not been recovered, but the specific relationship between them What exactly happened during that time? We slaves don’t know, after all, it is someone else’s housework, so naturally not everyone knows about it.”

After she finished speaking, Rong Yi glanced at her and suddenly smiled. She stood up and walked to the back room.

Seeing her sudden departure, the two maids stood there stunned, not knowing why, but not long after, she came over again, seemingly holding something in her hand.

Rong Yi walked up to them, looked at them, and said, "I haven't heard yet, what are your names?"

The one who spoke before said: "Slave He Hong."

The latter one said: "My servant He Qing."

Rong Yi read their names, spread out her hands, placed a piece of gold melted into the shape of a candied haws in one hand, gave one to He Hong and He Qing, and said, "I have several children at home. These The gold was melted into this shape to make them happy. It looks good, and although it is inconvenient to use, it is also unique. I give it to you two."

How could the two of them dare to ask for it? Even if the gold is not useful, it is still real gold!

Rong Yi said: "It's hard for you to come here and spread this word. You want me to know about it. I don't know if it was the order from the madam or the county magistrate. In short, since you let me know, then You helped me, please accept this gold."

The two of them were stunned, a little at a loss, not knowing how they were discovered.

Rong Yi smiled and said, "Go back, I'm relieved about this."

The two thanked them, then held the gold and left. Seeing them lowering their heads and muttering, Rong Yi smiled and shook her head. After they walked away, she sighed.

Although the two of them later did not say who asked them to speak in front of them, Rong Yi knew that this person was telling her that if she wanted to investigate the matter in Qusha County, she must get rid of Meiniang's matter. Clearly, although I don’t know what the connection is, since I specifically let her know, it explains the key to it.

In this way, what happened to Mei Niang back then should not be just a matter of being framed by a group of idle rich kids.

Rong Yi took a deep breath, turned to look at Yu Heng, and asked her to find Zhu Lingyu.

After Zhu Lingyu arrived, Rong Yi told her about the matter and said: "Since we came to Qusha County, every word we got was nothing but gossip. This time we went to Mei Niang's house. There are some things we need to ask them. Only with clarity can a breakthrough be opened, perhaps from her."
