Resourceful beauty

Chapter 74 Suspicious
"Yu'er is sick?"

Staring suspiciously at the woman in front of her who was answering, Su Yuan was very puzzled: Although her daughter is weak, she doesn't often get sick, and she never gets cold once a year when she was in the palace. After more than a month, you contracted a cold?

The mother-in-law smiled flatteringly, "Princess, don't worry, it's nothing serious. It snowed yesterday evening, and the young master was painting in Meilin. He happened to see a woman in red, who was very attractive in the painting. I thought it was a maid, so the young master asked her Don't move, this painting lasted half an hour. It wasn't until the painting was finished that he asked for a reward, only to find out that the person was the Young Madam. He immediately frightened the Young Master and led the Young Madam back to the house. After drinking the ginger soup, Who knows, it doesn't help, the young lady has a fever in the middle of the night, our lord has already invited the doctor who usually sees the doctor to see it, and he said that drinking two medicines and sweating will be all right."

Seeing that Su Yuan's complexion was slightly relaxed, the woman continued: "When the old slave came, the young lady's complexion was already much better, and she just said that the princess should not miss her, and come to see you when she gets better."

"Master Lao and Uncle have bothered you..."

As she spoke softly, Su Yuan's gaze brushed across the woman's face without showing any trace, as if she wanted to see any flaws.

It is said that the water poured out by the married daughter, no matter how much Su Yuan loves Fang Ruyu, Fang Ruyu is now the bride of the Liu family, let alone a small cold, it was not a big deal, but Fu Rong The Lord Weng is so motivating, he even sent his mother-in-law to speak?
If something goes wrong, it must be a demon, Su Yuan murmured in her heart.

The woman rolled her eyes, as if she had guessed what Su Yuan was thinking, "The young master kept saying that what happened yesterday was his own fault, and the young lady was afraid that the young master would blame the young master, so she kept throwing herself on herself." Lan. When the Lord saw it, he was very happy, and said that there are still some days before the Chinese New Year, and let the young couple live in a village outside the city for a while. There are hot springs in the village, and the scenery is better than that of the Lord's mansion. The Lord means, It is for the young master to accompany the young lady to rest for a few days."

After talking for a long time, Su Yuan finally understood.

Dare to love, the young couple's good honey is mixed with oil, Master Furong simply let them go to the village outside the city to play as they like for a while.

Thinking of this, the corners of Su Yuan's eyes showed a hint of joy.

Su Yuan has no doubts that her daughter can be loved by her uncle, but now even the mother-in-law, Master Furong, dotes on her daughter like this. Su Yuan really feels that the marriage she chose could not be better.

The old lady of the Lord Weng's Mansion is very good at observing words and expressions, and immediately said with a smile on her face: "The Lord Weng said that the left and right are near the capital, and it's not too far away. The young lady is caught in the wind and cold again, so she won't be allowed to run around to blow the wind. After returning from Zhuangzi, let the young master and young lady come over to greet the prince and princess."

Su Yuan nodded, "Since that's the case, I don't have anything to ask here. I just ask my servants to take good care of Yu'er and uncle."

After all, Su Yuan turned her head and glanced at Zhao Nanny, asked her to reward the woman, and sent her out.

When Mammy Zhao came back, she saw that Su Yuan was still thinking about something. Nanny Zhao stepped forward and said with a smile: "Young Master treats Miss well, and Lord Weng treats Miss like his own daughter. Wangfei should feel at ease now."

However, Su Yuan raised her head and asked Mother Zhao with some disapproval, "You said, if this is the case, it doesn't matter. It's enough for Yu'er to send the maid next to her to come back and tell her, but why is it someone from the Lord's side? ? I always feel a little weird..."

Mother Zhao thought about Su Yuan's words, and for a while, she smiled wrinkledly: "My uncle and miss are still newly married, and the miss has face in front of her parents-in-law, isn't the princess more at ease? The old slave guesses, that's what Mr. Xu is like. After thinking about it, I personally sent the people around me to talk back, so that we feel that the young lady is highly valued in the Lord Weng's mansion."

Su Yuan nodded suspiciously, with an unconcealable smile on her face, "That's good, Yu'er doesn't have to set rules in front of her parents-in-law. When she arrives at the hot spring village, she is in a good mood, and her uncle is always by her side. The young couple are talking and laughing, maybe good news will be spread after the new year."

The population of Fullon Weng's main mansion is simple, they may not have this idea.

This time, Su Yuan completely let go of her doubts.

In the afternoon, I heard that several carriages drove out from Wengzhu's mansion and went straight out of the city.

Upon hearing the news, Su Yuan clasped her hands together and said in the inner hall: "God bless, I hope that Yu'er can become pregnant in these days, add a baby to the Liu family, and also give me a white and fat little grandson."

Just as she was talking, she heard a servant girl's voice of greeting from outside the hall. Su Yuan went out to greet him, and saw Prince Qi and his son who had hurried back.

Greeting Fang Zhengjun a few words, and gently instructing him to go back to the house to take a bath and change clothes, Su Yuan followed King Qi into the inner hall, and told the story of the lady's visit to the Lord Weng's Mansion yesterday.

After finishing speaking, Su Yuan coquettishly said proudly: "My lord, what is going on now, you can see it with your own eyes, right? At the beginning you blamed the concubine, saying that this marriage could not be married, but now Yu'er and my uncle are like glue, and the in-laws I also love my daughter very much, this time, don't you think I am stupid?"

Thinking of Liu Yu's performance when he came back from the Three Dynasties, King Qi smiled, "Ru Yu's childhood is going well, and I, as a father, am naturally happy."

After personally serving King Qi to change his clothes, Su Yuan wanted to use Fang Ruyu's matter to say a few more words, but she heard rumors that Concubine Yun and Concubine Zhu had arrived. Seeing that the two of them were dressed in fancy dress like a willow, Su Yuan's face was so gloomy that water dripped out.

At lunch time, the whole family gathered in the Yixin Hall and had a family banquet in harmony.

In the afternoon, Fang Ruxuan got up after taking a nap, and Kapok asked to see her.

As the New Year approached, the maids of Shu Yuxuan were all busy cleaning and storing things, but Kapok didn't have to do anything, just wandered outside every day, but she could often inquire about some news, Fang Ruxuan simply left her alone, At the same time, he also told Ding Xiang to make a purse, stuffed ten taels of silver into it, and handed the purse to Kapok.

After entering the house, Mu Mian walked up to Fang Ruxuan, and said straight to the point in a low voice: "In the past few days, someone was wandering outside the Sifangzhai and Zangbao Pavilion, and asked the nearby vendors about the shops. I followed them for a few days. I already know the whereabouts of those people, and there is a person who looks familiar, I seem to have seen him in Funan City when I was in Jiangbei before."

When Mu Mian said this, Fang Ruxuan immediately realized that those people might have something to do with Hu Jing.

Swapping the golden abacus and Li Daitao out of the prison in Funan City stiffly, this matter seemed to be seamless at the time, but it couldn't stand up to scrutiny afterwards, Hu Jing sent people to find the capital now, it was considered slow.

Fang Ruxuan sat up straight involuntarily, "Did Uncle Jin notice it?"

The matter of the Treasure Pavilion was handed over to shopkeeper Yu. Jin Abacus was still the shopkeeper of Sifangzhai who dozed off all day. If anyone wandered around, given the coldness of Sifangzhai, they would definitely find something unusual.

Kapok nodded, "The old man said, change with the same."

Fang Ruxuan pondered for a while, then raised her head and asked Mu Mian, "The man you met should be the leader of those people, right? How is he capable?"

Fang Ruxuan wanted to know, if he did nothing as Jin Suanan said, how far he could find out with that person's ability.

Kapok hesitated for a moment and said: "The mask I made for the old man, unless he is an expert in disguise, it is difficult to see anything strange. As for that man, his specialty is to inquire about news, and I have only been watching for the past few days. So far, they've gotten nothing."

She nodded, but Fang Ruxuan couldn't feel at ease.

Today, there is really a dilemma.

If you let it go and let those few people continue to investigate like this, there is no guarantee that something will be found in the future, and it will be too late to make plans at that time.

But if they take action to stop it now, it may be self-defeating, making them more sure that there is a problem, which is tantamount to asking for their own death.

Neither advancing nor retreating, Fang Ruxuan was extremely difficult.

Mu Mian moved her mouth, and said softly: "If Miss has available manpower, the servants can deploy them, so that those people will be confused and return without success."

"manpower……"

While muttering, Fang Ruxuan thought of Chu Yuan.

But whether to join hands with Chu Yuan, Fang Ruxuan has not yet been able to convince herself.

"Let me think again..."

Fang Ruxuan raised her head and asked Mu Mian after making a vague and perfunctory sentence, "Any other discoveries?"

"Do you want to know about the princess?"

Not long after entering the mansion, Kapok only subtly noticed that Fang Ruxuan and the concubine, who was originally a aunt but now a stepmother, were not on good terms. Even so, Fang Ruxuan did not tell Kapok to pay attention to the movements of the Yixin Palace, so Kapok was a little bit Not sure.

Fang Ruxuan froze for a moment, then nodded slightly.

Mu Mian said softly: "A few days ago, the people under the concubine brought a widow in her forties from a small village in Tongzhou, and now they placed the widow in a small courtyard in the lotus alley. In the past few days, they gave the widow People bought some new clothes and jewelry, other than that, nothing happened, I don’t know what they are going to do.”

Tongzhou is far away from Jiangbei, and it is a very barren place. It stands to reason that Su Yuan has nothing to do with Tongzhou, but now a widow appears out of nowhere. Even if Fang Ruxuan knows about the past, she can't figure out what she is going to do .

"Keep staring, if there is any movement, come and tell me immediately."

Fang Ruxuan exhorted in a deep voice.

Kapok nodded in response, turned around and left.

The taste of the new year is getting stronger and stronger, and Prince Qi's mansion is also full of joy.

In Shuyuxuan, Fang Ruxuan was not practicing calligraphy and reading every day, or obsessed with Fang Zhengjun, and then asked Chen Mei to go out for a stroll. For a while, time seemed to return to the old days when the three of them traveled together in Jiangbei together.

Early in the morning on the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, Fang Ruxuan learned from Kapok that Su Yuan sent the widow she was looking for to a private house on East Street.

And that private house, as far as Fang Ruxuan knew, was Eunuch Xu's house outside the palace.

"As a gift, naturally you have to match what you like..."

When Kapok said it, Fang Ruxuan was able to figure out what Su Yuan was up to.
