After leaving the palace, Lu Zhu had time to ask Bai Wanrou, "Miss, why did you leave so casually just now?"
The implication is that they should take good care of Yue Yi. They finally caught her pigtail once, how could they let it go like this?
But Bai Wanrou just smiled and shook her head, "If I don't let her go this time, she won't let me go next time."
Hearing this, Luzhu pouted three times, "Why did the young lady talk about herself like that? She has no right not to let the young lady go."
Bai Wanrou said nothing and walked ahead of her into a teahouse.
In fact, it goes without saying that she also knows that Yueyi will eventually be favored again in the future.
Thinking of this, her calm heart was now blown by the wind, causing ripples.
"Xiaorou, here!"
The familiar voice brought back Bai Wanrou's thoughts. She raised her head and Song Yinhua's face came into view.
"Yin'er, why did you come so early?"
Song Yinhua's private room was on the second floor. Bai Wanrou's master and servant came upstairs, and she happily welcomed them in.
"It's you who came late~"
She just made a joke, but Bai Wanrou actually wanted to apologize.
She stopped the person, her tone full of disbelief.
"What hardships have you gone through? Why have you become so cautious?"
"It's okay. After all, it's a change of environment and it's normal for your personality to change."
Before Bai Wanrou could complain in various ways, saying that she was not good at this or that, Lu Zhu took the lead.
She stood in front of Song Yinhua, her tone indignant, as if she had been accumulating anger in her heart for a long time:
"Miss Song, you don't know something. Our lady just didn't say those words."
"The so-called Prince of Jian'an took another concubine on the first night after marrying our lady, and even made her a royal concubine."
"Let's not talk about it. They also teamed up to humiliate my young lady. He didn't even accompany her to the house."
Hearing this, Song Yinhua glanced at Bai Wanrou with pity, seeming to admire her for staying in such a palace for such a long time.
Not to mention that she was Princess Jian'an appointed by the emperor, even if she was a concubine from a brothel, there was no such disrespectful statement.
Song Yinhua felt a little distressed when she thought that she might not have a good day in the palace these days.
"My Xiaorou, how can you even endure this?"
In the past, Bai Wanrou was the most delicate person in the Hou Mansion, and she was afraid of accidentally hurting her hand when slapping her servants.
This Chen Ruzhi...has the guts to treat the apple of his eye like this?!
"It's okay. Don't listen to Lu Zhu's exaggeration. In fact, these are just trivial matters."
Bai Wanrou naturally knew that neither her family could please her now, but she could only choose to endure it.
Everyone knew that Prince Jian'an and Bai Hou were not on good terms. If she was the catalyst between them, she would spend the rest of her life feeling guilty.
Song Yinhua stroked her hair, which was a silent comfort.
"By the way, when you interrupted me like this, I almost forgot what I came here for."
Song Yinhua raised his eyes after hearing the sound, and saw Bai Wanrou calling Lu Zhu out, and then placing the chair closer to herself.
"Are there any new events in the capital recently?"
Although she asked in a gossipy tone, Song Yinhua had an intuition that she had other purposes.
She told all the new gossip, ranging from ordinary people's daily necessities to the intrigues in the imperial court.
Finally, Bai Wanrou asked a name alone as expected.
"Do you know about the change of government in the Yueyi family?"
"Who is Yueyi? She can't be... the concubine who is riding on your head, right?"
Bai Wanrou didn't answer, but her behavior seemed to be acquiescence.
Song Yinhua was a little angry. At first, when Xiaorou wanted to marry Chen Ruzhi, she didn't agree.
Sure enough! Nothing good!
But she was so angry that she couldn't bear to vent her resentment on Bai Wanrou, so she could only rub her temples and start chatting with her like she was resigned to her fate:
"I haven't heard of this name very often. He probably doesn't have a high official position, right?"
"I heard before that her father is just a seventh-level ceremony."
Song Yinhua sneered. What kind of official position is the seventh rank? It's just a decoration.
But this sentence also brought back some memories for her.
"Seventh grade...Yueyi...wait!"
She suddenly regained her serious look and sat up from the table where she was lying.
Bai Wanrou was also frightened by her and didn't know what happened.
"What's wrong with you?"
The caring voice of her friend came to her ears, which brought Song Yinhua back to her thoughts. She glanced at Bai Wanrou in front of her, wondering whether she should say the words in her mouth.
"What's going on? Don't say anything."
Bai Wanrou thought she was feeling unwell and quickly stood up and moved her around to look around.
Song Yinhua pulled her hand away and said in a somewhat unbearable voice, "Xiaorou... I seem to have some impression of the person you mentioned. Not long ago, her father was promoted to the fifth level of ceremony because of Prince Jian'an."
"Jian'an...Prince?"
The two looked at each other, and Bai Wanrou finally understood why Song Yinhua had that expression just now, but she really couldn't put up a forced smile to comfort her.
"Oh, look at me, why can't I speak? How about I drink tea instead of wine and punish myself with one drink?"
Bai Wanrou felt a little heavy. She originally thought that Yueyi would only be favored by Chen Ruzhi, but she never expected that this favor would be from Aiwujiwu.
She shook her head and signaled to Song Yinhua that he didn't have to be like this, but the latter obviously blamed himself and didn't know how to comfort her.
It wasn't until the time for the stick of incense passed that Bai Wanrou raised her head again, "I'm fine now. If you have anything else you want to say, let's talk about it together."
Seeing that she could continue to laugh, Song Yinhua also believed her words and poured out all the words he had accumulated these days:
"You don't even know that my father has been in trouble recently. A farmer sued the prince for torturing and killing a good woman, but he was shocked. He didn't know how to deal with this case for a while."
Hearing this, Bai Wanrou was also shocked. Torturing and killing a decent woman? How could such a thing happen in the world?
She looked at Song Yinhua in confusion, and saw the latter shaking his head, "I'm not sure whether it's true or not, so I'm not afraid."
Bai Wanrou also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the time. They had been chatting for a while. I wonder how Lu Zhu was doing being alone outside?
With this in mind, the two of them opened the door and prepared to leave with Lu Zhu.
However, Song Yinhua only had a moment to check out, and the green bamboo behind him disappeared.
She was a little surprised and saw Bai Wanrou still there with a dumbfounded face, so she went to the door with her to check.
Lu Zhu's peeping appearance came into view, and the two of them deliberately scared her, but the latter returned to normal in just an instant.
"Miss, Miss! I saw Yueyi's figure outside the door!"
"What?"
Obviously both of them were a little confused. They looked in the direction Xiao Tao was looking, and sure enough, there was a woman.
Bai Wanrou took a closer look and saw that it was indeed Yue's intention.
The three of them hesitated for a while, but when they saw Yueyi was about to disappear around the corner, they finally decided to follow her.
After seeing Yue Yi entering a certain store, Song Yinhua was obviously a little disdainful.
Bai Wanrou didn't know the reason yet, so she looked at her, waiting for the answer.
"On the surface, this place is a pawn shop, but in fact it handles many erotic transactions. The reason why Yue Yi came here is probably to buy medicine to confuse Chen Ruzhi."
But within a moment, Yue Yi actually walked out the door with a bag of something that looked like Chinese medicine.
Song Yinhua raised his head and raised his eyebrows knowingly, "Look, this is the love drug."
Bai Wanrou teased her, "I didn't expect you knew a lot."
The latter nodded, with a proud look that seemed to say, "That's for sure."
"But this medicine should not be used on Chen Ruzhi."
Song Yinhua became interested when he heard this, so he almost moved a small bench and sat next to him to listen.
"Why? Is it possible that this medicine has something to do with you?"
Bai Wanrou shook her head, seeing that there were many people here and some were not suitable for talking about such things, so she took the two of them to a more remote place.
"Yueyi is carrying a fetus in her belly. This is her bargaining chip for ascending to the throne. It is impossible to find Chen Ruzhi at this juncture no matter what."
"What's more, Chen Ruzhi is very vigilant and alert. If Yue Yi wants to use this kind of clumsy and low-grade medicine, he won't be able to deceive him."
But if that's the case, why does she still buy love drugs?
Song Yinhua and Lu Zhu asked this question, and Bai Wanrou herself didn't know how to answer.
Is it just for excitement?
But this doesn’t quite look like it…
The three of them thought for a while, but in the end they still had no results and had to give up.
"By the way, Yin'er, there may be something I need to trouble you about recently."
"The relationship between the two of us... just talk about it directly."
"Please help me find out the prince's character."
This has nothing to do with Chen Ruzhi. The reason why Bai Wanrou wants to know the prince's character is because her father is trying his best to help him.
If the entrustment is to someone else, then why is there any need to continue?
No matter which family she married into, Bai Wanrou was always worried about her father.
Luzhu stood aside and just regarded himself as a wall, not deliberately listening to what the two of them said.
This matter is difficult and difficult for Song Yinhua, and it is simple and easy.
But there are not many things that can make Bai Wanrou say the word "please". Now that she has said one thing, Song Yinhua wants to complete it.
"Okay, if there is any news then I will look for you again and wait for my letter at any time!"
"good."
My father has been investigating the case about the prince recently. If I am willing to ask, I can probably ask some questions.
Song Yinhua had this idea, but Bai Wanrou only thought about how to thank her.
Even if the favor didn't work out in the end, she had already provided herself with a lot of useful clues. No matter how grateful she was, she had to find another idea.
Song Yinhua's family had family rules, so he went home after a while.
Bai Wanrou and Luzhu were left wandering on the street.
"Lvzhu, I just moved into that yard not long ago, and I haven't had time to buy many things yet. Can you come with me to take a look and buy some things on the way back?"
Luzhu naturally had no objections. She didn't like Yueyi in the first place. Due to Chen Ruzhi's protection in the past few days, she now looked down upon the prince.
In the entire palace, the only people she could talk to were Miss and Qingtang.
Now that she has time to spend with the lady, it is a great thing for her! This chapter has been completed!
