On the appointed day, Rong Zheng pretended that nothing had happened and stayed in the villa all day without going anywhere.
Occasionally I would accompany Princess Duanhui and talk to her, or I would sit in the Qingyin Pavilion or go to Tangli Study Room to write and read.
Before noon, Rong Zheng called Xiao Lu in and quietly told him: "Go and do something for me."
Xiao Lu said cautiously: "I wonder what grandma has ordered?"
Rong Zheng thought for a while and then said: "Now go to Caojia Lane outside Liangmen and help me find out."
Xiao Lu obliged without hesitation and agreed.
Rongzheng thought that there were many houses over there in Caojia Lane.
How did Xiao Lu know which house it was?
He pondered for a moment before saying, "Privately go and find out what kind of house the prince has over there, and keep an eye on the situation for me."
Xiao Lu said yes, but secretly wondered in his heart why grandma was asking about the prince's affairs.
She was afraid that this errand would be a bit tricky.
"Be alert.
People in the house over there don't know you, so don't reveal your identity.
If someone questions you, you have to think of your words."
Xiao Lu hurriedly said: "I understand, little one."
After Xiao Lu left, Rong Zheng had been very nervous.
She made up her mind not to jump into that trap, but she didn't know what tricks Mu Jing was waiting for her.
Mu Jing is now afraid that he will use his identity and Mu Xuan to threaten her.
She is not a little girl anymore, so she is not afraid of him.
Rongzheng spent the rest of the afternoon uneasily, and it was not until dusk that Xiao Lu came in and responded to her words.
"Grandma, I found out that the prince of the mansion does have a house in Caojia Lane outside Liangmen.
I pretended to be a salesman and went into the house to have a look.
It is said that the prince passed there in the morning.
I left We haven’t come out yet.
From the outside, the house looks like an ordinary house, but inside it is full of caves, with towering ancient wood and carved beams.
It would cost a huge sum of money to buy such a house.”
Rongzheng thought to himself, Mu Jing, the dignified prince of the vassal, is still short of these two dollars.
She sneered and asked: "No one will notice you?"
Xiao Lu vowed: "Absolutely not.
The little one is still clever, so grandma can rest assured.
Besides, the little one has never followed grandma into the house, so naturally they don't recognize the little one."
Rongzheng nodded and said, "That's good."
She calmly served the tea and let Xiao Lu go down.
Two days passed peacefully.
Nothing happened.
Later one day Princess Duanhui asked Rongzheng to take the time to go back to the palace and pay her respects on her behalf.
Rongzheng said she was feeling unwell.
Didn't go.
It is difficult for the princess to go to the palace now, so she can only ask Rong Zheng to pay her respects.
It's okay to shirk once, but it won't be an excuse if you shirk too many times.
She couldn't tell the princess about Mu Jing.
Rongzheng wanted to hide for a while and make sure Mu Jing could no longer threaten her before going to the palace.
I don't want to go back to Qingyun Lane for the time being, and Ma is recuperating at home.
It is said that the house was in a state of chaos.
Huiqiu is nominally in charge of the house, but with the serious wife back, she can't let go no matter what she does.

Besides, Ma's intentions are very obvious, so naturally she will find faults everywhere.
She didn't want to go back and cause trouble.
When Rong Zheng was feeling sad, Nanny Meng happened to come to the villa and brought Rong Zheng some bad news.
Mrs.
Lu is sick Rongzheng hurriedly went to inform the princess: "Princess, grandma is sick.
I want to return to Qi Mansion to serve her for a while."
Princess Duanhui heard about it and asked hurriedly: "The old man is old, and he is hot and cold these days.
It is easy to get sick.
Does it matter?"
Rong Zheng said: "I don't know yet.
No matter what, I want to go back and spend some time with her."
Princess Duanhui nodded in agreement.
She knew that Mrs.
Lu loved her granddaughter very much, and as her aunt, there was no reason to stop her.
Here, someone was asked to go down and select some nourishing and precious medicinal materials from the storehouse for Rong Zheng to take with him.
Chen, who followed Rong Zheng to visit Qi Mansion, came back the next day.
He reported the situation to the princess: "The old lady's illness seems to be nothing.
She is taking medicine, but she is just a little less energetic.
After all, she is so old."
"It doesn't mean it's a serious illness.
Did grandma say when she would come back?"
Mrs.
Chen shook her head and said: "This grandma didn't say anything.
It seems that she will stay for a while."
Duan Hui said: "Let her go.
She can stay as long as she likes.
She is a young daughter-in-law, and it will be lonely to live with a widow like me every day.
There are many brothers and sisters in the Qi family.
Let her be happy.
It’s good to stay there happily for a while.”
After Rong Zheng left, the villa became even more deserted.
Duan Hui seems to have long been accustomed to this kind of desertedness.
She was either making incense or learning how to care for flowers and plants from the gardener every day.
She lived in seclusion and lived a simple life.
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and Rong Zheng still hadn't come back.
Duan Hui thought Rong Zheng was just going to stay for about ten days, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't come back.
I can’t help but complain to the people around me: “Is our villa too deserted?”
Danju smiled and said: "How could it be?
There are dozens of people up and down, so it's not deserted."
Duan Hui sighed: "It's a pity that we don't have two masters.
I'm still wondering if I offended her somewhere.
I always feel that she is avoiding something these days."
Dan Ju hurriedly said: "Princess, you are overthinking it, grandma probably won't do it."
Duan Hui smiled and said nothing.
Wan Su came in and reported: "Princess, Grandma Lei is here.

She said she wanted to discuss things with Grandma, but Grandma is not at home.
Look."
Duan Hui hurriedly said: "Invite her to come to my place."
After all, she is the nanny of her brother, and Duan Hui has always respected Aunt Lei.
After a while, a little girl led Grandma Lei in, opening the curtain and walking in.
Aunt Lei originally came to discuss marriage with Rong Zheng, but Rong Zheng was not at home.
She was a little timid when facing the princess alone.
When she entered the door, she did not dare to look around.
When she saw a lady sitting in plain clothes and light makeup, she hurriedly raised her eyebrows and saluted.
Princess Duanhui smiled very easily and said: "Mom, don't be polite, please get up."
Aunt Lei quickly stood up again and stood with her head bowed, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.
For some reason, I was a little afraid of seeing Duan Hui.
Duan Hui pointed to sit down again.
Aunt Lei just sat down, but she didn't know where to put her hands and feet.
"I heard from my sister-in-law that grandma is planning to live in Bianliang forever.
This is really a good thing."
Aunt Lei answered Princess Duanhui's words with some guilt in her heart: "The younger son will get married soon.
What can the young couple do without someone to take care of them?
The old slave also wants to take care of the children for them in the future."
Princess Duanhui smiled softly and said, "You are getting older.
It is only natural that you stay with your son.
I think this girl Zisu is very good.
You, the Lei family, are blessed."
Aunt Lei hurriedly said: "It's all the lady of the house."
In desperation, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and she quickly changed her words: "It's all because of grandma's kindness that the brat in our family can get what he wants."
Princess Duanhui's remarks were all very common, and she had a very easy-going personality and never behaved like a princess.
After going back and forth, Grandma Lei was not so nervous.
"Why did the uncle go to the military camp?
He has been very sick and weak since he was a child.
Although he is stronger now, his foundation is not good after all.
How can he go to the military camp?"
Duan Hui said with a smile: "This is Junhua's own wish.
If he wants to go, he can go.
As a sister, I fully support him."
Aunt Lei was just Mu Xuan's former nanny, so she naturally had no right to interfere with this matter, but she just let the matter go with a few words of emotion.
Perhaps it was because Princess Duanhui usually had few people around her to talk to, so she gradually started chatting with Aunt Lei.
The topics discussed ranged from Lei Bo to Mu Xuan.
Later, Princess Duanhui mentioned what happened when she was a child.
Her eyebrows were curved and her face was very gentle, and she said to Aunt Lei: "I was also very naughty at that time, which often caused my mother and concubine a lot of headaches.
I often heard her complaining that she was born by mistake.
She should have been a boy.
Why?
He became a girl.
Because of his poor health, his mother and concubine had a lot of restrictions on him, so he was followed by a lot of people, so he was a little quiet and looked like a girl. " Aunt Lei is Mu Xuan's nanny.
Naturally, she followed Mu Xuan closely back then.

When she heard the princess's words, she couldn't help but smile: "The princess is very cute.
Although the uncle is not in good health, he is also very lovable and beautiful.
The late Princess felt sorry for you the most."
"Mother naturally feels sorry for her child.
It would be great if the mother-in-law is still here.
Look at Junhua who is in good health now and can still go to the military camp to lead troops to fight.
I have such a daughter-in-law again.
I don't know how much I like her."
Duan Hui said .
The expression in his eyes gradually dimmed.
My brother has no regrets, but what about her?
If only her mother still saw her like this.
It must be distressing too.
Will she be busy looking for a new wife like the concubine?
But what Duan Hui can conclude is that the concubine will never force herself like them.
The appearance of Princess Chai appeared in Grandma Lei's mind again.
After so many years, she could still clearly remember the appearance of Princess Chai, and she could even remember the princess's every word and smile.
Not only because of Princess Chai's beauty, but also because of Princess Chai's love for her children and her strict treatment of her servants.
She didn't dare to recall the more profound things.
Aunt Lei followed Duan Hui's words and said, "Your Majesty, you are right."
Duan Hui thought of her mother who had passed away many years before, and fell into reminiscing about the past.
It was hard to extricate herself.
She carefully recalled the appearance of her mother in her memory.
I recall my mother's love and care for their siblings, the way my mother-in-law and my father sang in harmony, and I also recall the clothes my mother loved to wear and the jewelry she cherished.
Duan Hui always felt that her memory was missing something, not so complete.
"Mommy, I was just a child when my mother-in-law left, and after all these years, I don't remember some things very clearly.
It's been hard for me to ask anyone over the years.
You are also considered a member of the house.
You are an old man, how much do you still remember what happened back then?”
Grandma Lei suddenly felt like her heart was beating like a drum, her face was slightly frightened, and she tried to stay calm and said: "I remember, most of them remember."
"Well, come another day and talk to me about what happened back then."
Aunt Lei felt like a light on her back, but she couldn't sit still anymore, but she still said: "Yes."
Duan Hui smiled slightly, as warm as the spring breeze in March.
Grandma Lei did not dare to face Duan Hui's bright smile.
She buried her head low, staring intently at the thick foreign tribute carpet on the floor.
Duan Hui didn't notice the strange mood in Grandma Lei.
Aunt Lei sat in front of her for a while, saying she had something to do at home and wanted to leave.
Duan Hui naturally did not force him to stay.
After Grandma Lei left, Duan Hui sat under the window and looked out the window.
The tea rack in the yard was already covered with green leaves.
She was in a trance and had not recovered from the memories of the past.
Mrs.
Chen saw this scene when she came in.
She stepped forward and smiled gently: "Princess, what are you thinking about?"
Duan Hui turned around and said with a smile: "I don't think so.

Nanny, please sit down quickly."
Immediately, a little maid moved the chair over.
Mrs.
Chen had just met Aunt Lei, and saw that Aunt Lei was in a trance.
Now seeing the princess like this, she wondered what the two people had said before.
Princess Duanhui suddenly said: "Nanny, I remember some things from my childhood, but I can't remember some things.
I always feel like a part of my memory is missing."
Chen smiled gently and said, "How many things can a person remember in his lifetime, let alone when he was a child."
Duan Hui's mind was filled with her mother's voice and appearance, but she found that she could not piece together the complete memory of her mother.
She shouldn't have thought about it.
She was already eight years old when her mother passed away.
Only about twenty years had passed, so it was impossible for her to forget everything about her mother.
She suddenly asked Mrs.
Chen: "Nanny, my mother-in-law used to live in the villa, right?"
Mrs.
Chen nodded and said, "Yes, the princess likes the Villa."
"Then she has been living here for a long time, and the concubine doesn't have any objections to her?"
Mrs.
Chen was a little stunned.
The relationship between the former princess and the dowager mother-in-law and daughter-in-law was not so harmonious.
The late princess moved to the villa precisely because of the irreconcilable relationship with the dowager.
I thought it would be better to be farther away, but I didn't know that the gap would only become deeper and deeper.
The princess asked this suddenly, didn't she know about the conflict between the princess and the concubine's mother-in-law?
It has been almost twenty years since the late princess passed away, and now the princess has been replaced by the dowager's niece.
How meaningful it is to mention what happened back then.
These words went through Chen's head, and finally he said slowly: "There is also the prince in the middle.
Is there anything that cannot be reconciled?"
In the memory of the princess, Prince Yu was always an idle dandy, and he rarely cared about the family's shortcomings.
I only know how to enjoy myself every day and waste my time.
He was able to mediate the doubts expressed by the princess about the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship between the mother and the concubine.
"Nanny, was it not that the relationship between the mother-in-law and the dowager was not very good at the beginning?"
Mrs.
Chen laughed and said: "Where in the world is there a mother-in-law who really regards her daughter-in-law as her own daughter?
Besides, it is inevitable for a family to have some bumps and bruises.
It has been so long, the princess should let go."
Duan Hui said: "I don't know if I can let it go.
I just feel that there is something missing in my memory about my mother and concubine.
When you mention it like this, I remember a lot of things."
The doubts in her heart were getting bigger and bigger, but she didn't dare to tell her Chen mentioned half a word.
The younger brother was skeptical about the death of his mother-in-law, so Cui Shangzhou had been investigating for so long, and he did notice some clues.
At that time, the relationship between the concubine and the mother-in-law was really not good, so she didn't dare to think about it anymore, and wondered when Cui Shangzhou would come to help check it out
