The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 284 Secret Confirmation
Xiao Ruan no longer remembered how she walked out of Taifu Lu's study step by step.

The setting sun is falling, the orange afterglow sprinkles on the earth, the burning clouds in the sky are dazzling, and the birds returning home at dusk cross the sky to find their nests. Everything in spring seems to be so full of vitality, only you...

"Miss, you are back. Why did the old man call you over? Why are the servants not allowed to go?"

Standing under a cherry blossom tree, Xiao Ruan looked at the setting sun in the distance and felt lost. Suddenly, she saw Zhuyun's anxious figure appearing on the flower path in front of her. Then she came out of her own thoughts and let her help her to walk back. .

"Miss Heng waited and waited until you came back, and already went to admit your mistake to the old lady. You can't really be called away by the old lady because of this?"

Zhuyun waited for a long time and did not see Xiao Ruan's reply, and saw that her face was not looking well, so she couldn't help guessing.

Xiao Ruan's face was stunned, as if he had just heard her voice, he suddenly stopped, looked around, and frowned.

"Where's Li Yun?"

Zhuyun was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "Miss, didn't you ask Li Yun to go out of the house to inquire about things? I think he will come back at night, right?"

After being reminded by Zhuyun, Xiao Ruan remembered that after they met Cheng Kuo who spoke rudely in Taohualin during the day, she was worried that the other party would retaliate, so she asked Li Yun to follow her secretly.

It was already evening at this time, and Li Yun should come back soon.

"When she comes back, you let her come to see me immediately."

Zhuyun glanced suspiciously at Taifu Lu's yard in the distance, and quickly responded: "Miss, don't worry, I will definitely notify you."

At night, when Xiao Ruan was about to rest, Li Yun's figure really appeared in the room.

She saluted Xiao Ruan respectfully, and reported directly before asking: "Miss, this servant followed Cheng Kuo all the way to Cheng's mansion, and I didn't hear that he was going to take revenge, but this servant heard something else. "

Hearing this, Xiao Ruan raised her head in surprise, and seeing the other party's face was serious, she nodded unconsciously: "Tell me and listen."

"Return to madam, after Cheng Kuo returned to the city, he went directly to the Cheng family, but the servant found that his Cheng family seemed to be doing some ulterior business. And it seems to be related to the Korean government at this time."

Korean government?

Hearing Li Yun mention this name suddenly, Xiao Ruan paused for a while before raising his eyes: "Maybe you can find out what business the other party is doing?"

"This servant only saw that Cheng Kuo stealthily took a few carts of goods from the people of the South Korean government, but through the night, their guards were extremely numerous, and this servant could not be sure what was inside."

A flash of embarrassment flashed across Li Yun's face, and a touch of disappointment flashed across Xiao Ruan's heart, but he quickly returned to his original state: "Since that's the case, don't worry about this matter for now. I have another matter that you need to investigate."

"Despite Xiao Ruan's orders, the servants will definitely die."

"You don't need to die, you just need to get some information from Li Yan's mouth for me."

As if hearing something extremely difficult, Li Yun immediately changed his face: "Ma'am, I'm afraid this servant can't do it. I have contacted my brother secretly several times, but he refused to see me, and this servant is worried. Even if my elder brother saw me, the servants would not be able to find out anything..."

"I don't need you to inquire about anything, as long as you can see your brother, and you can help me see his reaction."

Li Yun's face felt uncomfortable, but Xiao Ruan shook his head lightly: "Furthermore, I want you to find out for me whether Su Qingqing in the Hou's mansion is pregnant with the prince's child."

At the end, Xiao Ruan's face turned serious, and what happened in Lu Taifu's room during the day came to mind again.

Lu Hanrui said that Huo Xun probably had other reasons for kicking him out, and Taifu Lu also felt that Huo Xun would never betray the prince.After such an analysis, Xiao Ruan always felt that the relationship between Huo Xun and Su Qingqing was very likely not what he had seen and heard.

As long as it is found out that Huo Xun lied to her about Su Qingqing, it will definitely prove that everything is exactly what Lu Hanrui guessed. The reason why that person has neglected her for more than a month is also to protect her.

As if suddenly discovering a huge secret, Xiao Ruan's heart skipped a beat when he came back from Taifu Lu's yard. On the one hand, he hoped that his guess was true, and on the other hand, he was worried that his guess was true.

That's why it was decided to let Li Yun sneak back to the Hou's mansion and focus on investigating this matter.

Although Li Yun was not extremely smart, he was vaguely aware of his young lady's attachment to Huo Xun. After hearing her arrangement, he immediately agreed, turned around and walked out.

After Li Yun left, the room instantly returned to silence, Xiao Ruan couldn't help taking a deep breath, and slowly exhaled a puff of stale air.

Zhuyun on the side also faintly sensed something unusual, and couldn't help but ask: "Miss, could it be that you have heard something? This servant also really finds it hard to believe that the general will suddenly fall in love with Su Qingqing..."

"Let's wait for Li Yun to check it out!"

Xiao Ruan raised her eyes, and did not answer Zhu Yun immediately, but looked in the direction Li Yun left for a long time before sighing softly.

In the silence, this sigh was exceptionally clear, and it seemed to contain extremely complicated things. Before he knew it, Zhu Yun looked in the direction where Li Yun was leaving, with a little more expectation.

"Ruan Ruan, why did your grandfather call you away yesterday? I have already apologized to my grandmother yesterday, so that my grandmother will not make things difficult for you."

The next day, Lu Heng ran to Xiao Ruan's room early in the morning to ask about his health.

She was really scared last night.

On weekdays, she used her small temper at home and played tricks, and no one was really angry.

As soon as they came back yesterday, Xiao Ruan was called away by Mrs. Lu, which really made her feel agitated. The more she thought about it, the more guilty she felt.

"Really, Nanny Zhou has already promised me to let me rest, why can't grandma and grandfather be accommodating!"

Seeing that Lu Heng was thinking wildly and getting more and more angry, Xiao Ruan said helplessly, "If that's the case, do you still dare to be lazy in the future?"

As soon as this remark came out, Lu Heng's face fell instantly.

"Grandfather is also true. The prince doesn't even care if I know those trivial etiquettes, but they insist on me to learn them. This is too torture!"

Xiao Ruan didn't want to tell Lu Heng the real reason why Mrs. Lu was looking for her. Seeing her frowning with a bitter face, she persuaded her: "Grandfather is also doing this for your own good, so you should be honest and learn from Nanny Zhou." Learn etiquette, don't let me be implicated again. Besides, learning etiquette well will be good for you when you enter the palace in the future. "

"Yes, that's all I can do now."

Remembering the promise he made in front of Mrs. Lu, Lu Heng looked at Xiao Ruan bitterly, and nodded helplessly.

And just when Lu Heng was about to leave to find Zhou Nanny, he suddenly stopped and turned his head.

"I almost forgot about this matter. Ruan Ruan, you asked me to investigate the matter for you yesterday. There are indeed people in the capital who are deliberately spreading rumors that you have an affair with Lin Miracle Doctor and conspired to kill Xiao Ying's child. .”

Yesterday Cheng Kuo abused Xiao Ruan for having an affair with Lin Tianqi in front of everyone, Xiao Ruan felt that there must be something wrong with this matter, so she asked Lu Heng to find out for herself, unexpectedly it was the same as her guess.

It had been a full month since Xiao Ying gave birth to a stillborn baby, and she hadn't heard any similar rumors on weekdays, but Cheng Kuo was able to say such words, obviously he had heard something.

"Maybe find out who is spreading rumors?"

Xiao Ruan tightly pursed the corners of her mouth, her face was serious, and she already had guesses about the man behind the scenes.

At this moment, Lu Heng suddenly came back and took Xiao Ruan's hand.

"Ruan Ruan, my people only found out that someone deliberately spread the news in the teahouse at first, but the exact person has not been found out yet, but don't worry, when I find out this person, I will help you deal with her. "

Feeling the warm touch from the woman's hand, Xiao Ruan raised her head and saw the concern in Lu Heng's eyes that didn't seem fake, Xiao Ruan's eyes flickered, and a flash of apology suddenly flashed in her heart.

The reason why Lu Heng was able to find out the source of the rumor so quickly was obviously because of the help of others, and the person who helped her was no one but the prince.

In other words, Lu Heng must still be surrounded by the prince's eyeliner, or Lu Heng's heart has already turned to the prince.

She hasn't confirmed the matter of Huo Xun yet. If the prince knows that Huo Xun insists on reconciling with him, he will probably think it through quickly like Lu Hanrui that the reason why Huo Xun did this is to pick himself out.

It would be fine if he trusted Huo Xun like Huo Xun and Lu Taifu did, but if he believed that what he did was determined to break with the Lu family and the prince, it would only make the current situation worse.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruan calmly withdrew her hand from Lu Heng's.

"It's getting late, and Nanny Zhou may have to wait again. My cousin promised not to make it difficult for me this time, so let's go over quickly."

After being reminded, Lu Heng immediately patted his forehead: "If you don't tell me, I will forget it again, this is a big deal!"

After finishing speaking, before Xiao Ruan could reply, he let go of her hand and left in a hurry.

Like a gust of wind coming and going, Lu Heng's figure quickly disappeared outside the door, only the faint scent of powder and fat from the other party's body remained in the air.

Xiao Ruan stared at the direction where Lu Heng left, and unconsciously recalled the matter of begging Lu Hanrui and Mrs. Lu last night in her mind.

After a series of analyzes and speculations between Lu Hanrui and Lu Taifu, she has realized that everything Huo Xun does is for her sake.

When the two asked what Xiao Ruan was going to do about this matter, Xiao Ruan asked them to give him a few days to think about it, and before that, he must not disclose this matter to anyone.

Lu Hanrui hesitated for a long time and finally nodded in agreement, Taifu Lu also sighed and agreed, so she immediately asked Li Yun to go back to Dingguo Marquis Mansion to confirm the matter.

"Sanggong, I misunderstood you before, but if you want to throw me and the child away, I will never allow it!"
