The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 305

In the afternoon of this day, the sun was warm and bright, Xiao Ruan was sitting in the yard with an embroidery frame and was meticulously embroidering something, but Zhu Yun came in with a pair of servants.

"Miss Xiao, my lord is too busy these days and has no time to visit you. I got some fresh cherries today, and I specially asked my servant to bring them to you."

The man was wearing an ordinary blue gown, he was about forty years old, and he was Zhang Guanshi in Duke Huai's residence.During this period of time, Zhao Yan often sent him to deliver things to him.

The young servant in Tsing Yi who was following behind him was holding the delicately crafted bamboo basket with both hands, raised his hand and lifted the square scarf on it, immediately revealing the attractive red cherries.

It's not the season for cherries to ripen yet, but Duke Huai sent her such a big basket of cherries, obviously he put a lot of thought into it.

Xiao Ruan put down the embroidery frame in her hand, asked Zhu Yun to take over the basket, and thanked Guanshi Zhang: "Boss Zhang Guanshi has worked hard, and please thank the prince for me."

"Miss, don't worry, the slave will definitely bring the lady's words."

"What did you bring? What did His Highness Duke Huai send today?"

As soon as Guanshi Zhang's voice fell, a clear female voice suddenly came from behind. Everyone looked up and saw that it was Lu Heng walking over.

Lu Heng didn't even look at Steward Zhang, whose smile was fading away, walked straight to Xiao Ruan, pinched a cherry and put it in his mouth, and immediately showed a disgusted expression: "Ah! This cherry is so sour, your prince is willing to send it ?” After speaking, he spit out the cherry in his mouth.

Guanshi Zhang came to deliver things before and was bumped into by Lu Heng, who also picked his nose and eyes, but now he was picked on again, and his face suddenly became black.But he still said patiently: "I'm afraid Miss Lu doesn't know something. These cherries are specially dedicated to the emperor from the south. My prince was lucky enough to get some, so he specially gave it to..."

"Do you mean to say that Miss Ben has never eaten cherries or something? I don't care where you got them, so you don't want people to tell you if they are sour?"

Before Zhang Guanshi finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Heng sharply, and could no longer maintain the smile on his face.

He has never tasted the taste of this cherry, and it is not easy to care about a woman like Lu Heng. In the embarrassment, Xiao Ruan quickly smoothed things over: "It is really unexpected that His Highness Duke Huai is so caring. I just occasionally mentioned that I like to eat recently. It’s really hard work for him to ask Guanshi Zhang to send such a rare thing.”

With Xiao Ruan's affirmation, Lu Heng couldn't say anything more, but Guanshi Zhang let out a long sigh of relief, said goodbye and left.

"I said Ruan Ruan, what happened to you recently? Could it be that you really want to marry Duke Huai?"

As soon as the figure of Guanshi Zhang disappeared here, Lu Heng immediately sat down on the stone bench opposite Xiao Ruan with a look of disapproval, as if probing and admonishing: "I can tell you, Zhao Yan is now But the prince's enemy is also my enemy, if you want to marry him, I will not agree!"

"What nonsense? How could I marry him?"

Taking a sideways look at Lu Heng, Xiao Ruan looked helpless.

She has indeed gotten closer to Zhao Yan during this time, but it is inconvenient to tell Lu Heng all the reasons.But seeing that the other party showed suspicion, he had no choice but to change the subject.

"Why are you willing to come to me? I heard that the prince came to you today."

Exactly the same as when Huo Xun was chasing Xiao Ruan back then, the prince often used the excuse of coming to find Lu Hanrui to visit Lu Heng at his house.Every time the prince passed through the mansion, Xiao Ruan didn't need to ask, and the servants would pass it on.

"He did come to see me, but I am in a hurry to report the good news to you, so why don't I hurry up to see you?"

Lu Heng's face flushed slightly, he raised his hand and squeezed another cherry into his mouth, purposely whetting Xiao Ruan's appetite and said: "If you hear this good news, you will be happier than eating a basket of cherries. Do you want to know?"

Hearing this, without waiting for Xiao Ruan to open her mouth, Zhu Yun couldn't help asking: "Miss Biao, what good news is this? Are the servants a little curious?"

Lu Heng shook his head slightly, deliberately holding back, Xiao Ruan smiled knowingly, and immediately said: "If your news really makes me happy, I will give you all the cherries in this basket, okay?"

"Ruan Ruan is serious?"

Lu Heng's eyes lit up, and he was about to answer, but suddenly he felt embarrassed, covered his mouth as if to cover up, coughed twice, and then reluctantly said: "I don't want your cherry, but since you said it, It's not easy for me to refuse, is it? Forget it, let me tell you!"

Lu Heng's words successfully made Xiao Ruan and Zhu Yun laugh. The two looked at each other, and immediately acted as if they were listening very cooperatively. For a while, Lu Heng couldn't help but laugh too.

"Ruan Ruan, do you still remember the time when Huo Yixuan kidnapped you? Sooner or later, I hope that something will happen to the Huo family, and now that Huo Yong is really in trouble!"

At the end of Lu Heng's speech, his face was full of excitement. Before the two people on the opposite side asked, he explained the important events at Huo Yong's booth in detail, and finally said: "How about an old saying? Good is rewarded with good, and evil is rewarded." There is bad news, it’s not that the time has not come, the prince said that the emperor has ordered the Korean government to search the house, do you think this is something to be happy about?”

"Miss, this is really gratifying! This servant still remembers how the elders bullied us when the Korean government didn't have a separate family!"

Zhuyun and Lu Heng didn't know that this matter was originally planned by Xiao Ruan, and their faces were filled with emotion.And Xiao Ruan nodded repeatedly as if hearing it for the first time, and she really asked Zhu Yun to give all the cherries to Lu Heng.

Lu Heng's begging for cherries was originally a joke, but now that Xiao Ruan really gave it to him, he suddenly became a little awkward, and he gave way several times before accepting it.

"If this Duke Huai knows that I took all the cherries away, he will probably be very angry. This can be regarded as killing harm for the people. If Duke Huai gives Ruan Ruan any things in the future, he can give them all to me."

Zhuyun leaned forward and backward with laughter because of Lu Heng's words, Xiao Ruan also covered her mouth and nodded: "My cousin is eliminating harm for the people, so I naturally want to support her a lot, and I will trouble my cousin a lot from now on."

"A small matter, a small matter!"

Lu Heng himself could hardly hold back, he laughed a lot before leaving, Xiao Ruan got up and sent him out of the hospital.Suddenly seeing Li Yun coming back from the outside with a solemn expression, the smile on the corner of his mouth slowly disappeared unconsciously.

"Ma'am, this servant has something to tell you."

Glancing at the bewildered Zhuyun beside him, Xiao Ruan nodded, and immediately led Li Yun back to the room.

"Returning to madam, the emperor ordered the South Korean government to ransack the house, and Huo Yong was demoted to a commoner. Now they are all relying on the Qian family for support, and the empress in the palace was also forced to hand over the Phoenix seal temporarily because of the implicated salt case. I heard something strange."

"Just talk about it in detail."

What Li Yun said was the same as what Lu Heng said just now, Xiao Ruan didn't think there was anything new, but when he heard Li Yun said something strange, he couldn't help asking.

"My servant was out today and heard that two people died at Chen Daokou Wharf today. The government found out that the dead were two thieves, but they didn't find out the identity of the murderer."

"Chen Daokou? Are those two people..."

Xiao Ruan was stunned, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

Chen Daokou, two thieves, these two words sound familiar, and she couldn't help but think of Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Sanshou brothers.

"Madam guessed right, it's Zhang Qingshan and the two brothers."

As soon as Li Yun's words came out, Xiao Ruan immediately asked: "Why didn't the government have any news? How did they die, and who did they contact before they died? You should know..."

"Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Qingshan are usually two brothers who eat and live together, and their hands and feet are not clean, and others don't want to associate with him. Moreover, the two of them have no relatives in their families, and the government has no way to determine whether anyone has seen the murderer. .”

As if he had expected Xiao Ruan to ask such a question, Li Yun immediately told what he had heard from the government: "Both of them had bruises on their bodies when they died, but the acne on their necks was taken by life. If the servant did not guess wrong, he should have directly broken his neck after being beaten up."

Li Yun's voice was calm and unwavering, as if he was describing an extremely ordinary thing, but Xiao Ruan's brows were frowning more and more tightly.

Zhang Qingshan and Zhang Qingshan were severely beaten and then their necks were twisted. This kind of cruel method would never be done by ordinary people, and it is very likely that they offended a vicious person.

If it is said that the cause of death of these two people has nothing to do with Huo Yong's sale of private salt, Xiao Ruan doesn't believe it at all, but if it is really related, it can only explain...

"We're afraid we've been exposed."

Xiao Ruan raised his head suddenly, and spoke slowly to Li Yun who was worried, with an unprecedented solemn expression.

"Then what should we do now? Aren't we now..."

"Our current situation is probably very bad, and we may be assassinated at any time."

Xiao Ruan finished her remaining words for Li Yun, a dark color suddenly flashed across her eyes as calm as lake water, and then she pursed her lips and stopped speaking.

"Who... do you think the person who killed their brother might be?"

After a long silence, Li Yun finally couldn't help but carefully asked the woman in front of him what he wanted to know the most.

"The murderer is naturally the loser in the salt smuggling case. If I'm not wrong, it should be Huo Yuan."

"How, how is this possible?"

As Xiao Ruan's voice fell, Li Yun immediately showed an expression of disbelief: "Madam, you, why do you think it's Huo Yuan, shouldn't it be Duke Huai?"

"If it's Duke Huai, do you think he would still send me something every day? He would only come to see me right away, and test me again in front of me."

Xiao Ruan stared at the void in front of him, there was no light in his eyes, and he secretly regretted that he should not be so careless.

At the beginning, she only thought that Jing Zhaoyi would not investigate the "down and out scholar", but she forgot that others would investigate - such as Huo Yuan.

The South Korean government was raided, Huo Yuan would never let go of any strange place, and it is extremely easy to find the Zhang brothers.
