Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 16 Returning to Beijing (2)

Ruqiu was absolutely unwilling to follow Zhiruo back to Beijing at this time. If Zhiruo hadn't treated her very strangely today, she really wanted to dissuade such stupid and impulsive behavior.The current Yin family is not the majestic Zhenbei General's Mansion, but a treasonous criminal.Treason, a crime of death!Where is the joke?
In her opinion, since Zhiruo was lucky enough to escape, he should live a low-key life here as a cat (he had plenty of money anyway). How could he throw himself into a trap and run back to the capital to be implicated?Even if you are not arrested and questioned, you will still be criticized by thousands of people, right?If you don't get it right, you will be smashed with rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves. Since ancient times, few people have helped people in trouble and rescued people from danger, and many people have fallen into trouble.

When she heard that she was asked to take care of Gui's mother, Ruqiu's eyes flashed with disdain. Wasn't there a little maid?Where can I use her to take care of it personally?In her mind, Mama Gui was just a wet nurse, and she had the same status as the most favored first-class maid.

She was quite happy to let Ruqiu make the clothes, and she also felt a bit of habitual pride.Her mother, who has been dead for more than two years, was the most skilled embroiderer in the general's sewing room. She learned how to make purses and handkerchiefs from her mother when she was three or four years old.It was also because of her needlework skills, good looks and clever temperament that she was selected by the princess and became the girl's personal maid.

The girl is the eldest daughter. She has a good temper, is naive and easy to coax, and is generous with her actions. Those who can serve in the girl's yard, even the fourth-class maids, are almost all the daughters or relatives of the housekeeper.Only she can be said to be a first-class maid based entirely on her own conditions.

Since she came to the girl at the age of six, her food and clothing have been upgraded to an unknown level. She has also learned literacy together with the girl. She is no worse than the daughter of a daughter from a wealthy family. This has always been her pride.

But, alas, he could have gone one step further and waited to become Qiu Shizi's aunt, but now he could only try to get the girl to point him to a promising manager.

Thinking of this, Ruqiu immediately adjusted her depressed mood and decided to make those four sets of clothes well to please Zhiruo. Later, she would find an opportunity to explain her "gaffe" at the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion today, so that she would still be No. 1 by the girl's side in the future. .[-].Without Princess Qianxin watching over her, wouldn't life be better for her as the "Vice Lady"?In the future, I will find a good marriage for myself and coax a good dowry, haha...

It must be said that Ruqiu is a pragmatic person who knows how to live a better life. In a short period of time, she has found the direction and goal of her efforts again.

When Yan's mother heard that Zhi wanted her to follow him back to the capital to "confirm the news," she turned pale with fright.Without completing the task, how could she dare to see Mr. Ye?

Before she was called over, she was still thinking about how to get the land deeds to several shops, villages, and houses in the capital from Zhiruo to "atone for her sins."She had long known from Ye's words that the second and third bedrooms of the Yin family would definitely not be implicated by Yin Zhao, and even Master Yin Er could continue to retain his official position as a fifth-grade censor, but Yin Zhiruo could only be helpless now. You can rely on the common people. Since ancient times, how can anyone win against an official?What's more, Yin Zhiruo still wants to hide behind the sinner.

Therefore, as long as she can secretly obtain those things, Mr. Yin Er will definitely be able to "legally" turn them into the second bedroom, and he will definitely find a way to protect her and transfer her deed to the second bedroom. He promised to fulfill her and Ye Da's affairs.

But now... now, Yin Zhiruo suddenly wanted to return to Beijing, and his attitude was resolute. He was not prepared to listen to her opinion at all, and he didn't even look at her twice.

How could she explain to Mr. Ye when she returned to the capital like this?Will Mrs. Ye immediately pursue her brother's gambling debt of 3000 taels from her?Also, her eight-year-old son, who had been missing for almost three years, was still in Ye's hands.Mother Yan felt that she was almost driven crazy: "Girl, what happened to you today? You ignored the hard work of the princess and the general to reconcile, and now you want to go back to the capital to take risks? Do you know that you are... What are you doing? Girl, listen to what I say, you must never let the princess and the general die in peace!"

Zhiruo suppressed her anger, glanced at her coldly, and said: "Mom, I came to you to inform you that you are going to return to Beijing with me. I am not discussing with you, let alone listening to your lectures. Don't worry, I My parents will definitely be very happy and agree with everything you have done. On the other hand, are you worried about dreaming about my mother at midnight? "

Mother Yan trembled all over and almost collapsed: "Gu... girl, you... what do you mean by this? The old slave knows the princess best, but he always advises the girl according to the princess's wishes. Loyalty is hard on the ears! Could it be? Girl, don’t you remember what the princess and the general said before you went out?”

Zhiruo sneered without concealing his sarcasm: "Okay, you go back to your house and get ready. My parents don't expect the Qiu family to be ungrateful and demote their wives as concubines. But my mother has been with my mother since she was a child. I Don’t you know what my mother’s temperament is like?”

Mother Yan was once again shocked by the coldness and ridicule on Zhiruo's face. She had watched the girl grow up. When had she ever seen such a look? Today's girl is so weird!

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but Ruchun pulled her out: "Mom, you better get ready, we will be on the road early tomorrow morning. Even if you are not tired, the girl is also tired today and needs to rest. "

Zhiruo then held Rudong's hand into the inner room and ignored Mother Yan again.It is still useful for her to keep this traitorous slave, otherwise, hum!
That night, Tie Muyuan returned to Zhuangzi and met Zhiruo again. He also called for Uncle Qi and Aunt Qiang: "Master Lin, the prefect of Luocheng, is a good man. He was also favored by Princess Qianxin's father, the General Wang. I have entrusted him with it. If there is any difficulty, or someone provokes trouble, you can go to him."

Uncle Qi hurriedly agreed and thanked him repeatedly. They are still discussing today. I am afraid that there will soon be many ruffians and bandits who know that their girl's dowry is huge, but they have no support. Money attracts trouble!Although there are many guards and agencies in their village, how many groups of people can they withstand?Bandits are afraid of officials, so they will feel more at ease with the prefect taking care of them.

Zhiruo suddenly realized a serious problem. This was in ancient times, but not in the 21st century where the legal system was sound and public security was guaranteed. She, a young woman carrying a rich fortune, was no different than a young child holding a thousand taels of gold.

It is better to rely on oneself than to rely on others. Even if Magistrate Lin repays his grandfather's kindness and takes more care of their village, it can only be a short-term expedient.To truly protect yourself and your younger siblings, you must quickly increase your strength.
