Mu Xuan left, and Rong Zheng stayed with the princess at home.
Take care of their property and manage their own shop.
Life was pretty good.
Duan Hui suggested to choose a day for the fifteenth mother to come home to relax, Rong Zheng said: "We are still in Rexiao, I don't know if she can go out."
Duan Hui said: "As a friend, I can help her.
I hope she can come out as soon as possible.
Please post a message for her and let her come out to visit."
"Okay, I'll give it a try, but I can't guarantee she can come out."
Seeing that it was getting late, Duan Hui said: "It's late, you go to bed first.
We will continue our discussion tomorrow."
Rong Zheng stood up and said goodbye.
Duanhui asked Xueqing to help send Rongzheng off.
Xueqing carried a hydrangea lantern, and Yutang supported Rongzheng and walked slowly.
Not far from Jinxiuyuan, Rongzheng said to Xueqing, "Sister, go back.
Yutang is here, it's okay.
It's getting late, so you should rest early."
The Qingyin Pavilion is located behind the Jinxiu Courtyard.
It is not far away.
After exiting the door, passing through a hallway, and then walking through a willow forest, you arrive at the gate of the Qingyin Pavilion.
There were two women guarding the courtyard gate.
Knowing that Rong Zheng hadn't come back yet, no one dared to leave first.
"Grandma is back."
One of them even took the initiative to hold a lantern for Rong Zheng.
Rongzheng walked into the yard and said to Yutang, "I'm sticky, so I need to take a shower.
Go and drink some water.
I'm a little tired, so don't forget to add some herbs to boil."
Yutang agreed and went.
Rong Zheng entered the house alone.
It was bright and bright, but there was no one there, and she didn't know where those maids had gone.
She walked to the bedroom and heard a rustling sound.
Her feet stopped, and she stood there without moving or making a sound.
A maid passed by outside the window, walking and talking.
At this moment, the person inside the screen came out.
"Grandma, when did you come back?
Why didn't you say anything?
I met you by chance and I was scared to death."
Ruyi came out holding her clothes.
She was startled at first, but soon returned to normal.
Rong Zheng said: "Where are the others?
Why aren't they Ying'er?"
Ruyi smiled and said, "Fu Cui and Qiu Ci went to help grandma count the things in the store."
"Oh, why didn't you go?"
Ruyi smiled and said: "Isn't this just helping grandma pack her clothes?
Besides, there is no one to guard her and I'm afraid grandma won't be able to find anyone when she comes back."
"You are loyal."

Ruyi said again: "Grandma, I will call them in now."
Rongzheng took a comfortable bath and asked someone to bring some pen and ink to prepare a post for Li Wuniang, inviting her to come to her home for two days to relax.
It didn’t take much time to write the post.
She handed the post to Qiu Ci and ordered: "Find someone to deliver this to Cui's house tomorrow."
Qiu Ci accepted the post and agreed.
Seeing that it was getting late, Rong Zheng wanted to fall asleep.
These days, she has become accustomed to sleeping alone, so she does not allow the maid to stay close to her bed, and only lets the maid on night duty stay guard in the room outside.
The room was quiet.
Rong Zheng moved the lights, took off her shoes and got into bed.
She didn't fall asleep immediately, but found a drawer inside the bedside.
She opened the drawer, but what was supposed to be inside was missing.
She took a breath, secretly thinking that someone could no longer hold his breath.
She didn't call the maid to ask, she pretended nothing happened and lay down quietly to sleep.
"It was indeed someone in the house who did this."
In his previous life, Rong Zheng was under strict control.
He often got angry with the people around him, and often beat, scolded and reprimanded him.
When he died, there was not much left of the people around him.
After coming back, she changed a lot and became a lot more tolerant.
She never beat up or scolded her for the occasional small mistakes she made in the past.
This is still happening now.
This matter was important and she couldn't ignore it.
Not long after lying down, Rong Zheng finally couldn't hold it in any longer and called out: "Here comes someone."
Qiu Ci, who was on duty in the room outside, hurriedly walked in, bowed and said, "What are your instructions, grandma?"
"Go and call all the people waiting in the room."
Qiu Ci wondered, what happened when there was such a big commotion at this time?
"What are you still doing?
Didn't you hear what I said clearly?"
Rong Zheng was a little angry.
Qiu Ci hurriedly retreated to deliver the message.
Rong Zheng was sitting on the bed with her hair down.
She wanted to have a good interrogation today, and she didn't believe that she couldn't catch the mole.
Not long after, all the maids in the room gathered together.
No one knew what happened.
Rongzheng didn't get off the bed.
She asked people to move the screen to the wall, looked around at the people in the room, and asked Fucui to count the number of people.
Fucui looked around and said, "All the maids are here except Xiaojuan."
"Why didn't Xiaojuan come?"
"I didn't notify Xiaojuan when she was sick.
If grandma wants to call her over, I'll go right away," Qiu Ci said.
Xiaojuan is the third-class maid in the room.
She is usually responsible for the flowers and plants in the yard and has no chance to enter the room to serve.
Rongzheng thought for a while and said: "Let her rest if she is sick.
Fucui, you stay here first.
The rest of the people are waiting in the room outside.
Whoever I ask will come in.

If anyone slips away in the middle, , come back and take a close look at your skin.”
Rongzheng married into the Mu family and said serious words for the first time.
Everyone was shocked, but they didn't dare to have any objections.
Fu Cui stayed, and the rest retreated.
Fu Cui didn't know what happened.
There was such a big movement in the middle of the night, so it must not be a trivial matter.
Knowing that Rong Zheng was in a bad mood, he didn't dare to slack off even a little bit.
Before Rongzheng could speak, he knelt down and let Rongzheng interrogate him with a submissive expression.
I heard that Fu Cui and Qiu Ci were from the princess's room, and later the princess gave these two maids to Mu Xuan.
Rongzheng had always treated Fu Cui and Qiu Ci with dignity, so when he saw this, he couldn't help but say: "Get up, let me ask you a few words."
"Grandma, please give me your instructions."
Fu Cui lowered her head, but she was unsure.
"Let me ask you, I went to the princess's house in the afternoon, what did you do?"
Fu Cui thought for a moment and replied: "As for grandma, I have been cleaning grandma's warehouse with Qiu Ci all afternoon.
If grandma wants to see the accounts, it should be sorted out tomorrow morning."
This is what Rong Zheng ordered Fu Cui and Qiu Ci to do.
He nodded and said, "Just clean the warehouse and nothing else.
I have been doing this for as long as I can."
Fu Cui thought for a while and then said: "It wasn't until the beginning of You that Qiu Ci said he was a little tired and rested for half an hour.
You were having dinner, and we were cleaning up after dinner."
"Where were you during this half hour of rest?"
Fu Cui said: "In my room."
"Who can prove your words?"
Fu Cui shook her head and said, "I have been in the room alone for half an hour.
I didn't go anywhere.
I just lay on the bed for a while and was busy making shoes."
Rong Zheng heard this and nodded: "Turn back and show me your shoes."
"yes" To this day, Fucui is still confused as to what exactly Rongzheng wants to interrogate.
Rong Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, go and ask Qiu Ci to come in."
After Qiu Ci came in, Rong Zheng asked Qiu Ci the same question, and Fu Cui's words before could prove each other.
Rongzheng nodded and said, "Okay, go down and ask Ruyi to come over."
After a while, Ruyi came in with his head lowered.
The first thing Rong Zheng asked when he saw her was: "Tell me what you did this afternoon."
Ruyi lowered her head and said: "My slave has been helping grandma clean up her clothes.
Furry clothes in winter need to be taken out to dry, and those with bad styles also need to be cleaned out.
In summer, these wrinkled clothes need to be ironed neatly.
These That’s what grandma ordered before.”
Ruyi, as her maid, took care of the clothes and jewelry in the room for her, which showed that she had Rongzheng's trust.
Rongzheng had indeed ordered Ruyi to do these things, but he couldn't find anything wrong, and asked again: "Who did you do it with?"
Ruyi said: "This is my slave's job.
I didn't ask anyone to help me."
"That means you cleaned up all afternoon.
Where did you do it?"
Ruyi lowered his head and said, "In the big house to the west."
"So are the clothes you were holding when I came in tonight."

"Yes" Ruyi lowered his head lower and lower.
Rong Zheng was a little unhappy and said, "Raise your head and look at me."
Ruyi then bravely looked at Rongzheng.
Rongzheng's eyes were blazing, as if he wanted to see through the person.
Ruyi did not dare to look directly into Rongzheng's eyes.
She was evasive and did not know where to look.
In the end, her gaze still fell on On the blanket on the floor.
Rongzheng's tone was a little stiff, and she stopped looking at Ruyi and said, "Okay, go out.
Ask others to come in."
Ruyi breathed a long sigh of relief and retreated.
All the people serving in the room had finished questioning, and only the servants and maids were left.
These people were not allowed to enter Rong Zheng's room.
After asking the last person, Rong Zheng called them all in and said, "You can't leave just yet, wait until Mama Bai comes back."
Mother Bai is the wife in charge here, and she was given to Rongzheng envoy by the princess.
Mother Bai is in her thirties and behaves very uprightly.
Within a few months, she has become an indispensable helper for Rong Zheng.
In a blink of an eye, it was already midnight, and no one dared to say he was sleepy.
Rong Zheng was sitting upright on the bed, full of energy.
She was determined to settle the matter today and could not delay it any longer.
Mother Bai had already come in and said, "Go back to Grandma, Grandma, you have found what you are looking for."
After saying that, she took out the thing hidden in her sleeve and showed it to Rong Zheng.
A green-gold embroidered purse appeared in front of everyone.
Rong Zheng took the purse, nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mom.
You can go to bed."
Mother Bai should not interfere with the rest of the matter, so she bowed and left.
Rong Zheng held the purse tightly, as if it was stuck in her throat.
She glanced at the people in the room with difficulty and said, "I found the things.
You all can go down.
The person who took the purse should stay.
This is the last chance I give."
The maids went out in twos and threes, and finally only one person remained.
Rong Zheng was furious and yelled angrily: "Kneel down!"
Ruyi shivered and knelt down.
Rongzheng kept guessing, never expecting that the person who betrayed her turned out to be the person she trusted the most.
"I ask you, why did you take this purse?"
Ruyi lowered her head and said, "The slave accidentally brought it out when she was cleaning her clothes."
"I accidentally cleaned my clothes."
Rong Zheng thought it was ridiculous.
He pointed at her and asked, "The clothes are either on the shelf or in the closet.
I put this thing in the drawer on the bed and you can find it for me.
Why are you looking for something like this?"
Excuse.
The facts are in front of you, what else do you have to say?"
Ruyi's head was buried lower.
"Who ordered you to make the exact same bag to lure me into the trap?"

Ruyi argued: "Grandma, I really don't know anything."
"You are my maid.
Ziying is married and Zisu has a family.
I trust you so much, but you treat me like this.
Considering your face, I will not expose you in front of everyone.
If you don't know what to say, , then go back and take a nap, then come back and explain to me tomorrow if you think about it.”
Rongzheng was heartbroken and didn't want to see Ruyi.
Ruyi knelt for a while and had to stand up, bowing her head and retreating.
She walked outside and luckily met no one.
She has gone down such a path of no return and is destined to never go back.
It all started from that time when I followed my grandma to the palace to pay respects.
The prince knew that she was grandma's personal maid, so he found her and threatened her in every possible way, and she had to succumb to his power.
He teamed up with the prince inside and outside to make this identical purse to lure grandma into taking the bait.
The prince promised her that as soon as the matter was accomplished, he would give her glory and wealth and make her his concubine.
She disdains being the prince's concubine, and she also knows the consequences of betraying her master.
Under the circumstances, she had no choice but to take this path.
Now that she was discovered by Rong Zheng, she had no way out.
It's all her fault.
It's her fault for not withstanding the temptation and doing something against the Lord.
It seemed like grandma wouldn't let her go.
Ruyi returned to his house uneasily.
Not even a light was lit.
She could no longer sit there and wait for death, she had to escape.
Escape overnight, as far as you can.
At that time, Ruyi only had this idea, and she did not dare to light the lamp.
In the dark, I rolled up a few important things in a furoshiki and prepared to escape.
The night was as dark as ink, and there was not a trace of moonlight.
Rongzheng, who was lying on the bed here, was not sleepy at all.
She never expected that Ruyi would betray her.
When she chose Ruyi to be her dowry maid, she was thinking that Ruyi had been loyal to her in her previous life, and she never did anything sorry to her under such circumstances.
This life is so much better than the previous life, why is it that I have become a different person?
In fact, it's Rongzheng's fault for being so late.
If she hadn't lured Ruyi to steal something, she wouldn't have been able to catch Ruyi.
Now that I think about it carefully, Ruyi is indeed the most suspicious.
Ruyi is taking care of her personal belongings.
Ruyi's needlework is brilliant.
The wallet and letter were also brought in as expected.
Later, she was trapped in Caojia Lane and could not escape.
Fortunately, Mu Rong saved her.
After returning, she was worried about Ruyi's safety and was about to arrange for someone to rescue Ruyi, but Ruyi came back by herself.
The reasons given are also far-fetched.
It was not that she had doubted Ruyi, but she believed in this person more.
However, it was this confidence that harmed her.
The night was peaceful, and she was willing to give Ruyi a chance to explain the truth.
She still believed in Ruyi and this person who had been completely sincere to her
