Gong Fujiao Daughter-in-law

Lady Ruan is very clear about what makes Yezhou City what it is today.

Without Wei Cang and the Duke of Su's Mansion, Yezhou would still be burning, killing and looting everywhere as it was a few years ago, and the people would live in unspeakable misery.

Now, because of Su Guogong's mansion and the Wei Family Army, Yezhou can usher in peace.

The common people can recuperate and live an ordinary life, which is no different from that in the peaceful and prosperous times.

In Lady Ruan's heart, everything in Yezhou is the most important, no one or anything is more important than Yezhou.

But Lin Meiniang is her best friend.

It is impossible for Mrs. Ruan not to see her abnormality, and it is precisely because she can see it that she has been extremely entangled in the past few days.

She didn't know what happened, nor did she know what happened to Lin Meiniang. She only knew that no matter what happened, it would not affect Yezhou City.

So after much hesitation, Lady Ruan decided to report it to Xie Zhiyun.

Xie Zhiyun was not very surprised, she asked calmly: "What's unusual? Let me listen to what you said."

Lady Ruan thought for a while, and said: "About five or six days ago, one day the helpers in the kitchen were very busy, so Mei Niang went to Tired House by herself to deliver meals to Madam Ying and Miss Biao."

Xie Zhiyun's heart moved, and he looked up at her.

"After she came back, Mei Niang asked the maid why Miss Biao and Mrs. Ying don't look alike."

Not everyone knows these things about the Wei family, and many people don't even know that Wei Ying adopted her daughter, so it is reasonable for Lin Meiniang not to know.

Lady Ruan said in a low voice: "The maid told her at the time that Miss Biao was adopted by Mrs. Ying, an orphan without father and mother, so she didn't look like one."

"The servant girl also told her not to talk about this matter with outsiders, just keep it in her heart."

"At that time, the servant didn't think much about it, and didn't think it was a big deal."

This is really not a big deal, after all, many people in the family know about it, Wei Ying and Shen Wenru don't take it to heart, even if they are not their biological mother and daughter, but they have a very good relationship, not their own is better than their own.

It doesn't matter if they are related or not.

Xie Zhiyun nodded, pointed to the chair beside him, and said, "Sit down and talk."

Lady Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, she sat down lightly, and continued: "But in the next few days, the maid found that Mei Niang would often find various excuses to go to the tired restaurant, and she went so many times that the helper even asked me Is there something wrong?"

Speaking of this, Mrs. Ruan was a little worried.

"Young madam, she is so concerned about Tiredness, this servant is a little scared, but she is a close friend of this servant, and this servant has no relatives in her family, so I regard her as a relative from the bottom of my heart, this servant does not want..."

Xie Zhiyun was very clear about Miss Ruan's thoughts. She was afraid that Lin Meiniang would harm Su Guogong's mansion, but she also didn't want Lin Meiniang to have an accident. This kind of entanglement made her uneasy and tossed and turned.

Xie Zhiyun could vaguely guess why, she asked Mrs. Ruan: "Have you asked her?"

Lady Ruan froze for a moment, then shook her head: "Never, slave... dare not ask."

She was afraid of getting a bad answer.

Xie Zhijun smiled, pushed the teacup by his side forward, and said, "Okay, I'll ask for you."

"Go behind the tree and wait, don't make a sound for a while, I'll ask her."

Xie Zhiyun had been waiting for today, and now that the result finally came, she was a little happy, but also a little worried.

She wants to hear the results she wants.

Soon, Lin Meiniang was brought to Chunhuating on the grounds that his wife wanted to ask about the dishes.

When she arrived, Xie Zhijun was still sitting in the gazebo to make accounts. When she came close, Xie Zhijun put down his pen and pointed to the stone bench: "Sit down and talk."

Lin Meiniang was much more cautious than Mrs. Ruan. After all, she didn't get along with Xie Zhijun very much and was not familiar with her temperament, so she was very respectful when she sat down, and the smile on her face was a little stiff.

Xie Zhiyun didn't make herself seem particularly friendly, she just asked: "How do you feel working in the small kitchen, have you adapted?"

Lin Meiniang smiled and said, "It's good. Life in the house is much more comfortable and safer than walking around the streets. Thank you, Young Madam, for giving this opportunity to my servant."

"You don't need to call yourself a slave, after all, you didn't sell yourself as a slave," Xie Zhiyun said, "Your craftsmanship is good, and you are also down-to-earth. Chef Cai and I praised you and said you did a good job."

Being praised, Lin Meiniang smiled shyly. This smile made her ordinary eyebrows look a little youthful and beautiful, and made her deep facial features more prominent.

"Chef Cai is being polite, I still have a lot to learn."

Xie Zhiyun said a few words to him, Lin Meiniang unknowingly relaxed, but unexpectedly Xie Zhiyun changed the subject, and suddenly said: "I heard that you often go to Juanyizhai recently, why?"

The smile on Lin Meiniang's face froze.

Xie Zhijun's left hand tapped lightly on the stone table, making a thumping sound. The sound was obviously light and pleasant, but it made Lin Meiniang tremble when she heard it.

She didn't answer immediately, she froze, unable to answer anything.

Xie Zhiyun sighed.

This sigh made Lin Meiniang tremble again.

"Mei Niang, you should know that my temper is different from Madam's," Xie Zhiyun said lightly, "Madam has a good temper, but I am not."

"In this mansion, do you think anyone dares to fool me?" Xie Zhiyun slightly raised his eyelids, "Just ask, if someone betrays Su Guogong's mansion and the Wei family, what will happen."

Lin Meiniang couldn't sit still anymore, she stood up tremblingly, and fell to her knees directly.

"Young madam, I have not betrayed Su Guogong's mansion."

Xie Zhiyun took a deep look at her, and said in a relaxed tone, "There is no betrayal, just tell the truth, I don't like people lying to me."

Lin Meiniang never served her by her side, but Mrs. Ruan and others followed her every day, and when they went back to rest at night, they would always talk about how smart and capable Young Madam was.

Lin Meiniang heard too much, so she remembered it.

Now being watched by Xie Zhiyun's bright eyes, her heart sank, she gritted her teeth and said, "Young Madam, do you think my appearance is different from that of the Central Plains people?"

Xie Zhijun's heart fell to the ground, but his expression remained unchanged: "It's different. The first time I saw you, I guessed that you were not a local."

After all, she didn't give Lin Meiniang a chance to reflect on herself, and said directly: "Are you from Li Rong?"

Lin Meiniang was shocked, she suddenly raised her head, and looked at Xie Zhiyun in disbelief.

"Young Madam, you are really... really discerning."

Xie Zhiyun looked at her, and smiled slightly this time.

"I can still guess that Shen Wenru is also from Li Rong, am I right?"

This time, all the persistence in Lin Meiniang disappeared, and she finally said, "Yes, what Young Madam said is absolutely right."
