Chapter 180 Oilcloth Bag

Patriarch Ruan hesitated for a moment: "After all, this is the inner courtyard. The child has just got married. If you go in like this, I'm afraid it will hurt her reputation."

Zhuang Yuyan stood up and said, "I'll go, I'm a woman, so it's okay."

Lin Jiangcheng nodded and said, "Alright. Go in and have a look."

Patriarch Ruan stopped objecting, and found someone to lead Zhuang Yuyan into the inner courtyard.

Zhuang Yuyan came to the small courtyard where Ruan Leyi used to live, and the servants of the Ruan family explained the purpose of coming to the concubine lady.When she heard that it was the Patriarch's order, she didn't dare to disobey, but she was very dissatisfied in her heart, and her face showed a little bit.

Zhuang Yuyan looked at her, then at the people around her, and said, "This grandma stay here for a while, everyone else can go out."

Seeing that Zhuang Yuyan left her behind, the grandmother in charge felt relieved, and said to her lady: "Go to Madam's first to talk, I'm here."

Seeing that she stayed, the lady was relieved, and went out with her maid and mother-in-law.

Zhuang Yuyan looked at the room, and it was exquisitely furnished, and it was a typical room for a lady.She went to the antique rack, picked up a porcelain vase, and looked inside.The grandmother hurriedly said: "This porcelain vase was given by our future uncle on my young lady's birthday. The young lady likes it very much, so it is placed in a conspicuous place. If you have nothing to do, take a look."

Zhuang Yuyan put down the porcelain vase and asked, "What are the old things in this room? Are those things your lady bought later?"

Seeing that she had put down the porcelain vase, the grandmother felt that she was still easy to talk, so she became bolder and said, "These old things are the beds and cabinets here. These clumsy furniture are all original, and the rest are given to the lady by the wife." I bought it." She thought for a while: "Oh, yes, there is an old thing here." She pointed to a painting on the wall, "Miss doesn't like this painting very much, so I wanted to take it down, but it ended up being nailed to the wall. It took a lot of effort to get it on, but I couldn't take it off, so I had to do this."

Zhuang Yuyan immediately became interested and walked up to the painting.This painting is a peony. She remembered that Ruan Leyi liked peony flowers the most. She thought it was the king of flowers, rich and auspicious, which matched her status very well.Zhuang Yuyan pulled it with her hand, but the painting did not move at all.

Zhuang Yuyan looked at it carefully, and found that it was a very common pattern, nothing special about it.She thought for a while, and then touched the painting carefully with her hands.Sure enough, on the largest peony flower, there was a tiny protrusion.Zhuang Yuyan pressed hard, and the painting suddenly moved to the right. Behind the painting was a dark space.Inside was an oilcloth bag.

The grandmother was taken aback: "Princess, we don't know. We really don't know what it is."

Zhuang Yuyan took a closer look and found that there was no poison. She stretched out her hand and took out the oilcloth bag.

In the oilcloth bag are three notebooks.Ruan Leyi's handwriting is on it.Knowledge of the Western Regions, Poison Art of the Western Regions, and Martial Arts of the Western Regions.

Zhuang Yuyan sighed, rewrapped the three books, and said to the grandmother, "I took this away. Don't spread this matter, or it may bring trouble to the Ruan family."

Seeing that Zhuang Yuyan said it solemnly, the grandmother nodded quickly: "I will definitely not tell anyone."

Zhuang Yuyan pushed the painting back to its original position.Take the notes back to the flower hall.

Lin Jiangcheng was chatting with Zhang Zhidong.Seeing Zhuang Yuyan come back, she looked solemn and asked, "Did you find anything?"

Zhuang Yuyan raised the oilcloth bag and gestured; "We'll talk about it when we go back."

Lin Jiangcheng, Zhang Zhidong and others bid farewell to the head of the Ruan family and returned to the post house.

Zhuang Yuyan showed the book to Lin Jiangcheng. "Then Zhao Yirou probably relied on this to run rampant in the world."

Lin Jiangcheng also sighed: "Since the things have been found, let's go back to the capital immediately."

The two discussed it and decided to return to the capital the next day instead of going to Binzhou.
