In the blink of an eye, tonight is the day when the man comes to ask for money. Zhou Yunning has been restless all day, and Ruan Mianmian specially stays by her side.
"Mianmian, isn't it a bit unkind for us to do this?"
"Mom, she is the one who is not kind."
"But……."
"Stop it, I'll give her one last chance. If she refuses to repent, she will be the one to blame."
Zhou Yunning hesitated to speak, and finally could only sigh longly.
It was a dark and windy night, and when it was time for the curfew, there was almost no one on the street except for the patrolling government officials.
There was a figure swaying in the darkness. Shi Sigou was humming a tune, thinking about the money he was about to get. He couldn't help but drink two cups early. He was very excited at the moment.
The goal was very clear, and soon Shi Sigou arrived outside the wall of Ding'an Marquis Mansion.
Ruan Mianmian had ordered not to disturb others, so Ruan Jiu turned around and revealed to Ruan Yi that Shi Sigou broke into the Hou Mansion without permission.
This is equivalent to saying that the guards of Ding'anhou Mansion are not tight, allowing people to take advantage of it. If an assassin appears, the consequences will be disastrous.
Ruan Jiu vaguely revealed in his words that the princess told him that it would be best not to disturb the old marquis for the time being.
They are all smart people. Ruan Yi was very grateful to Ruan Mianmian. He knew that he had neglected his duty and the princess wanted him to find a way to make up for his mistake.
Soon, Ruan Yi found out that the thief got into the house through the dog hole in the backyard. When Ruan Mianmian found out, he couldn't help but sigh that Shi Sigou was indeed a dog.
Shi Sigou entered the Hou Mansion from the original dog hole with a little drunkenness. As soon as he got through, he saw a pair of small embroidered shoes in front of him, which frightened him out of his drunkenness.
"Don't be afraid, the eldest lady asked me to come."
Hearing the words "eldest lady", Shi Sigou felt relieved. He got up and stood in front of him, a little maid who looked about ten years old.
"Who are you? Why haven't I seen you?"
"Don't worry about who I am, the eldest lady ordered that the location be changed to Hengwu Courtyard."
"Why?"
"Hengwuyuan was originally the eldest lady's place. The people inside have been taken care of and are safer."
"Where is the smoke cage courtyard?"
"She has been notified."
"Madam, you are so thoughtful."
Although the little maid said so, Shi Sigou still had doubts about her.
"Little girl, is it really the eldest lady who asked you to come?"
"If I hadn't come here under orders and saw you sneaking in, I should have shouted to catch the thief."
It was true, Shi Sigou finally believed it.
"Have you brought anything?"
"Bring it."
"Here." The little maid carefully took out a hairpin from her arms and handed it to Shi Sigou, "Madam, if you can charge double the price for two items, it's still 50-50."
Shi Sigou's eyes lit up. The lion had asked for ten thousand taels before. He told Chen Wanyu to blackmail Zhou Yunning for eight thousand taels, making an extra two thousand for nothing. Now he added this hairpin.
Get rich! Shi Sigou seems to have seen the white money coming towards him.
Seeing Shi Sigou taking the hairpin, the little maid turned around and walked away quickly.
Suppressing his inner excitement, Shi Sigou turned around and walked towards Hengwuyuan.
Jiu'er jumped down from the treetop and landed firmly in front of the little maid. She was about to reach out and cover her mouth, but she saw that she was covering her own mouth. There was a look of fright on her face and she took two steps back warily.
.
"it's me."
"Sister Jiu'er." Hongyu breathed a sigh of relief, "My mission is completed."
"Well, it's done well." Jiu'er nodded appreciatively, and the princess was worried about letting her follow.
Hongyu smiled: "That's good."
"Don't you want to ask me?"
Hongyun replied simply: "No. I will do whatever the princess tells me to do. The rest is none of my business."
"You are a smart one. Go back quickly. What happened tonight will be forgotten in your stomach. The princess will have her own reward."
"There is nothing to do tonight. I can't sleep and go out for a walk. It's time to go back and rest. Sister Jiu'er, Hongyu will go back first."
Seeing Hong Yu walking towards the direction of the Yanlong Courtyard without looking back, Jiu'er couldn't help but sigh. Not only was the princess's eyes sharp, but she was also very courageous. She didn't hesitate to hand over such a confidential matter to such a little maid.
Thinking back, Jiu'er smiled again, "After all, she was superficial. People can't just look at age. The princess is just a doll, but what of what she does is consistent with her age?"
It was better to go back quickly, so as not to miss the good show. Jiuer jumped up to the treetops and performed Qinggong, and soon no one was seen.
In Fu'an Hall, Mrs. Ruan looked impatiently at Chen Wanyu and Qin Ruolan hanging in front of her eyes.
After dinner, the two of them came under the guise of greetings, exchanged greetings, and drank two cups of tea before they left. The Marquis of Ding'an and his wife realized that they had come to visit on business.
"I'm going to the study." Ruan Geng impatiently pointed at Mrs. Ruan and said directly, "Just tell her about your matters."
"Old Marquis, you'd better listen to this matter, and you can also help the old lady make up her mind."
Ruan Geng frowned and sat down again: "It's mysterious, don't be mysterious, just tell me what you have to say."
"Please move away from the people around you." Chen Wanyu said and smiled at Qin Ruolan beside her, "You can go out too."
"Yes." Qin Ruolan retreated obediently.
After stepping out of the door, Qin Ruolan lowered her head to hide the joy in her heart, but the corners of her mouth could not help but turn up. After tonight, the princess Ruan Mianmian would not be able to even raise her head in the Hou Mansion.
"Say it." Mrs. Ruan said angrily.
"Old Marquis, Old Madam, I received a message and came here to tell you." Chen Wanyu stopped mid-sentence in a pretentious manner.
The Marquis of Ding'an and his wife were very calm and did not speak out. The old couple just sat quietly.
Gritting her teeth to suppress her inner dissatisfaction, Chen Wanyu continued: "I heard that the third younger brother and sister are having an affair with someone."
"Nonsense." Mrs. Ruan patted the armrest of the chair and lowered her face.
Ruan Geng's expression was also ugly: "You are talking nonsense, get out."
Since Ruan Qi disappeared, Zhou Yunning never left the front door, never left the front door of the Hou Mansion. Chen Wanyu's words and the Ding'an Hou couple didn't believe it at all.
"Old Marquis, Old Madam, if I don't have a little bit of confidence, would I dare to come to you and talk nonsense?" Chen Wanyu said coldly, "It's really a good intention that is not rewarded. I thought that my family's scandal should not be publicized and I came here to tell you, but I didn't expect that it would be so difficult.
Unpleasant."
Hearing this, Ruan Geng and Mrs. Ruan looked at each other. What Chen Wanyu said was reasonable, but they still didn't believe it if Zhou Yuning was said to be unruly women.
Mrs. Ruan lowered her voice: "Where did you hear these rumors?"
"If people don't know it unless they do it themselves, there will be no airtight wall in the world." Chen Wanyu secretly rejoiced in her heart. The old lady took the initiative to ask, so there would be a way.
At this moment, Qin Ruolan's voice came from outside: "Uncle, why are you here?"
"Where is your aunt?" Ruan Chan asked in a bad tone. This chapter has been completed!
