Jiangshan is the betrothal gift

Chapter 64 Encountering Surprise Life Mutations 4
Things really happened as Rui Yi expected, within a few days, a lot of rumors spread quickly.The earthquake that happened by the Mochou Lake in Xiaoqingshan was not God's will but man-made. After the earthquake in Xiaoqingshan, someone traced along the cracks and found a collapsed mountain range on Xiaoqingshan.The hill was almost completely collapsed into the cave. After investigation by the imperial court, it turned out that there was a huge cave at the bottom of the hill, and a large number of traces left by the broken organs were found inside.

Soon, various rumors came out. Some people said that there was a treasure hidden in the mountain range of Xiaoqingshan, which aroused the covetousness of the gangsters, who came to steal the treasure. Earthquake.There are various rumors, but only this one is the most convincing. After all, there are not a few institutions found in the cave, most of which have been destroyed, and the rest were buried inside with the collapse of the mountain.It can cause earthquakes around Mochou Lake, which shows how powerful the mechanism hidden in the mountains is.

Later, someone said that because the mechanism set up in the mountain needs to draw water from Mochou Lake and use the huge pressure of the water to activate the mechanism, so Mochou Lake produced a huge whirlpool at that time.

Jiu Yiniang now inquires about rumors outside and tells Rui Yi every day, and then one day Jiu Yiniang suddenly stops talking.

At this time, Rui Yi's body has already healed, and ointment has been applied to the scratches, and it has also been used to remove scars, which will not leave marks.The eldest lady told her not to go out for a walk during this period, but to take good care of her at home, so Rui Yi could only listen to Jiu Yiniang's inquiry about the outside affairs.Ling Xiao and Mu He are now working as errands. They were injured and Rui Yi specially asked them to go back to recuperate. Now that they are back, Jiu Yiniang doesn't have to work so hard, and they have taken over many things.

"Auntie, do you have something to hide from me?" Rui Yi asked, looking at Jiu Yiniang's evasive eyes.Jiu Yiniang is not very good at lying, she can only play tricks, as long as she is lying, she can immediately see it.

"No, nothing, don't think about it." Jiu Yiniang stood up after speaking, "Well, rest well, I'll come see you tomorrow."

Jiu Yiniang ran away, Rui Yi became more and more sure that something must be wrong.

When Ling Xiao came in, Rui Yi simply asked her directly.

Ling Xiao's face turned pale, and he quickly waved his hands, "Your servant doesn't know anything, so please don't embarrass your servant."

Ruiyi still doesn't understand something when he looks like this, something must have happened.

With a straight face, he looked at Ling Xiao and said, "You have been with me for so many years, and you know my temperament. What else do you have to hide from me at the moment. Instead of making me think wildly, it's better to make it clear, you My girl is not paper, so she can't bear it?"

Ling Xiao bit her lip, Rui Yi knew she was in trouble, and said, "Don't worry, even if you told me, I'll pretend not to know in front of Madam."

Ling Xiao's eyes were red when he heard the words, and he choked up and said: "It's not that the servants are unwilling to say, but that the Zhu family has gone too far. Madam is negotiating with the Zhu family these days, and the servants dare not talk too much."

"What does this have to do with the Zhu family?" Rui Yi couldn't figure it out, no matter how much she thought about it, she never thought that this matter had anything to do with the Zhu family.

"I wish the family to retire."

"Retire?" Rui Yi became even more confused, "I didn't do anything wrong, why did they have to withdraw?"

Ling Xiao lowered his head, hesitating and not knowing what to say about this matter.

Rui Yi looked at her in a daze and said, "You should make it clear, such a half-talk is really frustrating."

"At that time, a tunnel was found not far from the place where the girl was unconscious. There were rumors outside that some bad guys went to steal treasures, which caused the earthquake. The place where the girl was unconscious happened to be not far from the tunnel, so the young master of the Zhu family yelled He said that the girl is unclean, so she must call off the marriage."

After hearing this, Rui Yi didn't recover for a long time.

Seeing that Ling Xiao knelt down with a plop, he cried and said, "Girl, it's all the servant's fault. If the servant had caught up with you at that time, this wouldn't have happened. If the servant had been with you all the time, those villains would I don’t dare to say that anymore.”

Rui Yi thought about thousands of possibilities, and thought that he might be implicated, but the only thing he didn't think of was that the first reaction caused by this matter would be labeled as unclean, and the engagement was divorced!
No wonder the eldest lady refused to let herself know about this, such a ridiculous thing, that is, the prodigal son of the Zhu family dared to speak out.He was dissatisfied with the marriage in the first place, but the excuse he was using now was really clever, but she couldn't explain it clearly.

Even though she wasn't unclean, she was watched by the outsider.But she did see King Di Rong and his subordinates, she couldn't explain clearly.

However, she was unwilling to be labeled as such by Zhu Yanzhang, even if it was said that she had liaison with foreign enemies.

How can a woman survive with such a hat on her?
It took Ruiyi a while to recover, looked at Ling Xiao and said, "Get up, this has nothing to do with you, it's my fate." Thinking of this, he asked again: "There are places where I was discovered at that time. who knows?"

Ling Xiao shook his head, "The slave girl passed out from the pain, I don't know."

Rui Yi's face was serious. At that time, so many people were running for their lives, and there were not many people who could pay attention to where she was.Then the person who discovered her might be the one who spread the news, otherwise, who would be so sure that the place where he was unconscious was the place where he discovered the tunnel?

This is a game someone set up against himself, right?
Rui Yi thinks seriously about this, she absolutely can't spend the rest of her life wearing such a hat, she is not reconciled, she has clearly never done such a thing.

"Go and see if the eldest lady is back. If she is back, it's not convenient to just ask. I want to go over." Rui Yi said, this matter must not be left alone.

She, Pei Ruiyi, can live in silence, but she absolutely cannot tolerate stains on her body.

This is the foundation of her foothold, even if she risked her life.

If a woman carries this on her back, her life will be over, and even the unmarried daughters of the Pei family will be implicated by her. How can she face them?

Soon Ling Xiao came back, and said to Rui Yi: "Your maidservant went to see, Madam just came back, once I heard that you want to see her, I will let you go."

Rui Yi nodded, for a person as smart as Da Furen, she guessed that she knew the truth of the matter.Since I couldn't hide it anymore, I simply told myself.

After tidying up her clothes and jewelry, Rui Yi stepped out of her yard and walked all the way to Da Furen's yard. The girl in the mansion saw her sneaky appearance, which made her feel very sad. I'm afraid that many people in the mansion know about this.They all looked at her like this, let alone people outside the house.

Fang Qing came out to greet her, opened the curtain to invite Rui Yi in, and said in a low voice, "Madam is waiting for Miss Nine."

Rui Yi nodded, walked in, and saw the eldest lady sitting on the big couch with a tired expression, she walked over slowly and saluted, "Mother."

"Jiu girl, you are here, sit down." The lady pointed to the brocade stool in front of her and said.

"Thank you, mother." Rui Yi thanked her before sitting down.

"Jiu Yatou, what's the important thing you came to see me for?" Da Furen asked.

"Mother, I've heard about the incident. My daughter is here to thank you for running around for me and making you feel wronged." Ruiyi said.

The eldest lady was not surprised, sighed and said: "I can't hide it from you for long, you are a careful child, you will know sooner or later. Don't worry, mother will not let you be wronged, so the Zhu family will not dare to go outside Nonsense, our Shun'an Hou Mansion is not easy to bully."

Only then did Rui Yi heave a sigh of relief, that is to say, the Zhu family just used this as an excuse to divorce, and did not dare to really ruin her reputation by shouting outside.

With a sigh of relief in my heart, there was a little smile on my face, and I said: "After thinking about this matter, my daughter really didn't understand something, so I came to my mother for advice."

The eldest lady led Rui Yi to recuperate, and she didn't ask her about this matter. This time she took the initiative to mention it, and the eldest lady also said: "Since you know, please tell me what happened that day. Stop talking nonsense, and see how I can vent my anger for you."

Naturally, Rui Yi didn't dare to talk about meeting King Di Rong, and told everything except that.

The lady said: "It was just an accident. You passed out at the time, so how could you know anything else? It can be seen that the kid from the Zhu family is talking nonsense."

Rui Yi nodded, and said again: "Daughter just thought, the person who knew that I was unconscious next to the tunnel was the one who discovered me. I don't know who was there at the time, whether it was from our family or people from outside, among these people Is there anyone who is close to Master Zhu's family? If there is, my daughter can't help but wonder if he spread rumors and caused troubles to ruin my reputation. It's fine if the marriage fails, but it's really hateful to frame me. I'm just one , if it’s because the sisters who are involved are uncomfortable, wouldn’t it be a big mistake, how can I face them?”

The lady's eyes lit up when she heard Rui Yi's words, "Jiu girl, what you said makes sense. I've been so busy these days with the Zhu family's lawsuit that I forgot to investigate. There are indeed many doubts about what you said. , I know about this matter, I need to find out clearly, if it is really the kid from the Zhu family who framed you, I will make him look good this time. Our Shun'an Hou Mansion is not very powerful, but there are a few powerful relatives, Could it be that they are all decorations?"
