Early the next morning, Rong Zheng just woke up.
Fu Cui and Qiu Ci came in to help Rong Zheng wash her hair.
In the past, they always combed their hair as they wished.
Rong Zheng held the white sandalwood comb and said to Qiu Ci: "Ask Ruyi to come over."
Qiu Ci agreed and went.
Rongzheng looked at herself in the mirror and already had a plan on how to deal with Ruyi.
There was such a big commotion last night, Fu Cui figured out that Rong Zheng must be in a bad mood, and did not dare to offend her easily, so she served her carefully.
After dressing Rongzheng, she waited for Ruyi to come over and comb her hair.
Qiu Ci came back not long after and said in a panic: "Grandma, Ruyi is not in the house."
"Where would she go if she wasn't there?"
Rongzheng thought that something was wrong, and it was all her fault for being careless.
He believed that Ruyi would explain to her properly and not run away, and at the same time, it would save Ruyi enough face, so he didn't call her.
People guard her.
Unexpectedly, Ruyi had a guilty conscience and now absconded out of fear of crime.
Qiu Ci said: "She is not seen in the yard either.
I will ask people to look for her everywhere."
Fucui realized something was wrong and secretly glanced at Qiu Ci.
Rong Zheng said: "Tell people to go out and look for her.
If you want to see her alive, you want to see her body if she is dead.
You have to dig three feet into the ground to find her."
Fu Cui agreed.
Rongzheng glanced at Qiu Ci and said, "I remember asking you to deliver a post to the Cui family yesterday.
Just go after breakfast.
You don't have to worry about things at home."
Qiu Ci respectfully agreed.
Yutang came in and combed Rongzheng's hair.
Yutang's technique was pretty good, and Rongzheng was very satisfied.
She said to Yutang, "I'll leave all the combing to you from now on."
Mei Fen and her little maid brought Rong Zheng breakfast.
Rong Zheng took a look at it and saw a basket of pan-fried buns, a plate of pickles, and a bowl of egg custard steamed with honey.
Rongzheng didn't have much appetite, so she only kept the egg custard and gave the rest to others.
After rinsing his mouth with rice, Rong Zheng said to the people around him: "Don't spread the news about last night beforehand.
We'll wait until we find Ruyi."
Every day after breakfast she would go to Jinxiu Courtyard to sit, and today was no exception.
We haven't even entered the hospital yet, but as soon as we walked under the banana bushes, we saw Gan Quan running back and saying in a hurry: "Grandma, Miss Ruyi has been found."
Rong Zheng was slightly startled, her thoughts were so fast, she nodded and said: "Where is the person?
Bring her in.
I have something to interrogate her."
She turned around and walked inside.
Gan Quan said hurriedly: "Grandma, I'm afraid you won't be able to interrogate her."
"What's going on?"
Gan Quan became more and more solemn and said, "Young ladies, we found Miss Ruyi in the river.
She was already floating, so we couldn't look at her.
I'm afraid I'd scare Grandma."
Rongzheng slowly turned around, feeling increasingly depressed, and murmured: "She died by being thrown into the river."

Gan Quan said: "I don't know much about this little one, but Miss Ruyi is still holding the baggage in her arms.
The little one brought the baggage to grandma to see."
Gan Quan waved to the back, and a teenage boy brought up a wet cloth bag.
Gan Quan respectfully handed the bundle to Rong Zheng.
Rongzheng glanced at it, but she didn't go to pick it up in person.
Fucui took it for her.
"Where is the body?"
Ganquan said: "Park it in Taohuawu."
Rongzheng said, "Let's go and take a look."
Gan Quan was busy leading the way.
Rong Zheng waved her fan and went to Taohuawu.
This season, Taohuawu, like Tangli Study Studio, is all green.
It's just that the fruits of these peach trees are not as good as the pears over there in the study.
They are all peaches, small and astringent.
No one likes to eat.
Taohuawu is located in a remote area with no one living in it.
People only order people to clean it from time to time.
Prepare it for peach blossom viewing in spring, or use it when going on a cruise.
Gan Quan asked someone to remove a door panel, and Ruyi's body was placed on it.
The body is covered with a reed mat.
A pair of feet, white and swollen from water, were still exposed.
There are still a few strands of waterweed hanging on the blue satin soft shoes.
"Grandma, this is it."
"Open it and let me see."
Gan Quan hesitated for fear of scaring Rong Zheng.
Rong Zheng stepped forward and uncovered it himself.
Ruyi's face was swollen after being soaked in water all night.
There was mud on the nose, eye sockets, and corners of the mouth, as well as dried blood stains.
She only took one look at it, and immediately covered it after making sure it was Ruyi.
People around him lowered their heads, not daring to look directly.
Rong Zheng said to Gan Quan: "Let someone buy a coffin and bring it in.
And someone else will call her family in."
Gan Quan hurriedly said: "Xiao Shi has sent someone to buy it.
I will inform her family now."
Rongzheng nodded with satisfaction.
Ruyi was dead, and she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.
If such a big thing happened, the princess had to inform her.
Ruyi's posthumous affairs had to wait for Ruyi's family to come in, so her body was left in Taohuawu for the time being.
After the coffin came in and was buried, Ruyi's family took it back.
Duan Hui was sitting in the banquet room, chatting with Dan Ju.
When she saw Rong Zheng coming, she smiled and nodded and said, "You're here."
Rongzheng said hello to Duanhui, and Duanhui said: "The weather here is really hot.
I'm thinking of going to Yuntai Temple to stay for a while.
Do you want to come with me?"
Rong Zheng said: "I don't know when the princess has decided to leave."

Duan Hui said: "We will leave early tomorrow morning."
Rong Zheng said: "Princess, something happened in my yard and I have to take care of it.
I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Yuntai Temple with the princess tomorrow."
Duan Hui smiled and said: "By the way, when I got up early, I heard some noise behind me.
What happened?"
Rongzheng stood up and said, "Princess, a maid in my room stole my things, and I scolded her a lot.
The maid couldn't stand it anymore, so she rolled up her things and tried to run away.
Because it was dark, she slipped and fell into the river and drowned. ” Duan Hui was shocked and said hurriedly: "Such a thing happened."
"It's all because of my incompetence in controlling my subordinates and neglecting to discipline them.
The princess is laughing at them."
"Tell me what kind of ignorant little maid she is."
Duan Hui was afraid that the girl she gave to Rong Zhengshi had unclean hands and feet, which would end up causing discord between the two sisters.
Rongzheng looked very embarrassed, lowered her head and said, "It's Ruyi from my room."
"Ruyi" Duan Hui was even more surprised.
Ruyi is Rongzheng's maid, and the first-class maid in her room would actually do something like this.
"It's really embarrassing to say."
Duan Hui is not a nosy person, not to mention that she is sick now, and she doesn't want to worry about it.
She said: "It's really disgusting to have a thief in the room, and it's even more disgusting to have the closest person around.
She slipped and fell."
Death in the river is also retribution.
You must be very sad."
Duan Hui patted Rong Zheng's hand and comforted her and said, "Be more considerate, you have to let go of Ruyi's karma."
Rong Zheng nodded and said, "The Princess is right."
"Master Jingchen has sent people to invite you again and again, and I'm embarrassed if I don't agree.
I'll go there first tomorrow, and you can come see me after you finish your family affairs."
"Yes."
Rong Zheng was still depressed.
She returned to the Qingyin Pavilion and untied the wet bundle that Gan Quan had brought back.
Inside were a pair of jade bracelets, a red gold necklace, and a hibiscus stone hairpin.
These things were all Rong Zheng's rewards in the past.
There is also a purse inside, which is full of scattered silver.
It's about a dozen taels, and it should be Ruyi's private money that he usually saves.
There is also a roll of banknotes in the purse.
The banknotes have been soaked in water, but the writing has not fallen off or been soaked.
She sorted out the banknotes, there were five in total, some were counted as twenty taels, some were counted as fifty taels, and some were counted as one hundred taels.
A total of more than two hundred taels.
Ruyi's monthly income of two taels per month is nothing if he can save more than ten taels for a private house.
But what happened to these two hundred taels of silver notes?
All the banknotes are issued by the Ruitong ticket number.
Their family has never deposited money in Ruitong bank account.
There's something wrong with these banknotes.
Rong Zheng took out all the scraps of money and asked someone to wrap them up in a clean handkerchief and give them to Ruyi's family.
As for the banknote, she needed to find out carefully.
Qiu Ci, who was sent to Cui's house to deliver the post at noon, came back and reported to her: "Grandma Qi said that there are many things at home.
She has to take care of the fourth wife who is ill in bed and teach Master Xiang.

She can't leave."
Everyone in the Cui family now calls the fifteenth mother the seventh grandma.
Rongzheng is still a little uncomfortable hearing this title accidentally.
She still hopes that the fifteenth mother can get over her grief as soon as possible.
In addition to the Cui family, she should have friends, a place to complain, and a place to relax and joke.
Since the fifteenth mother didn't want to come out, Rongzheng thought to find a time to visit her.
Ruyi's coffin has been prepared, made of ordinary willow wood.
Rongzheng didn't have any objections when she heard that.
She asked Fucui to choose a suit of her newly cut clothes for Ruyi to wear when she was buried.
At the same time, people were asked to pack up Ruyi's clothes and the like, and wait until Ruyi's family members came over to give them to her family members.
In the afternoon, Ruyi's family came.
Ruyi had a widowed mother who had been bedridden for many years.
Now my brother and sister-in-law are in charge.
Rongzheng received her brother and sister-in-law in the flower hall.
Rong Zheng said with guilt on her face: "I didn't expect something like this to happen.
She's gone.
When will you take the coffin back and find a good place to bury her?
After all, it's hot and we can't put it there.
What's more, I also spent a night soaking in the water.”
Ruyi's brother knelt down and listened quietly to Rong Zheng's instructions.
Her only sister suddenly died.
He was filled with grief and anger, and wanted to find out the cause of his sister's death.
"There are fifty taels of silver here, as well as four sets of newly made clothes and a set of hair.
You can take them together with her own clothes.
I heard that her mother has been sick all year round.
Please hire a doctor for her mother."
Rongzheng said, and asked Fucui to go to the warehouse to get a few boxes of precious nourishing medicinal materials and reward them together.
Her brother was originally resentful, but when he saw Rong Zheng being so generous and receiving so many rewards, he didn't feel the slightest bit unhappy in his heart.
Full of satisfaction, he kowtowed to Rong Zheng.
Ruyi's brother and sister-in-law were sent away and the coffin was taken back.
Rong Zheng didn't ask anything, because with Ruyi's death, the matter came to an end.
Rongzheng had blamed herself for this.
If she had sent someone to guard Ruyi last night, she wouldn't have died like this.
From the beginning to the end, Rongzheng cared about Ruyi's face and believed in her as much as possible, but she didn't expect that Ruyi would repay her like this.
"Grandma, I'm afraid there aren't enough people in the room now.
Let's pick two more people to come in sometime."
Fucui suggested.
Rongzheng secretly thought that there was not much left of the first-class maid she brought from the Rong family, and Yutang was still young and could not be used for much.
Mei Fen is quite calm in her work, but she lacks experience.
I don’t know much about literacy, so I have to think about it again.
These things in the room fell entirely on Fu Cui and Qiu Ci.
Mu Xuan can make do with it if he is not at home.
If Mu Xuan comes back, I am afraid he will be too busy.
"We'll talk about it later, let's just mess around for now."
Zi Su came in at dusk.

"I heard about Ruyi, how could she become the second Qingfang?"
Rongzheng sighed: "You know the face but don't know the heart.
People always change."
Zi Su said angrily: "Grandma chose her to come to the Rong family because she trusted her.
How could she be so ungrateful?"
Rongzheng thinks that she treats Ruyi very well.
She chose Lei Bo for Zi Su, and she also had plans for Ru Yi in the future, and he would never be worse than Zi Su.
Unexpectedly, she did not know what was good and what was good, and was on a road of no return.
Although Zisu and Ruyi have completely different temperaments, they have worked together for many years.
There is some affection between the sisters.
Now that one of them is dead, Zisu can't help but feel a bit sad about the death of a rabbit and a fox.
Zisu went to the house where Ruyi lived.
Seeing that the furnishings in the room were still the same and the room was empty, I couldn't help crying.
"I heard that you stay at home all day long to embroider your trousseau.
You should have everything ready."
Zisu blushed and said, "The big ones are almost done."
Rong Zheng looked at Zisu with emotion.
Zisu died in the previous life, and Ruyi's ending was pretty good.
This life has turned around.
She thought of Aunt Lei and couldn't help but ask: "Do you know how your mother-in-law is doing?"
Zisu shook his head and said, "I haven't gone anywhere at home, so I don't know very well."
Rongzheng heard about it and didn't ask any more questions.
While they were talking here, Lei Bo suddenly came.
Rong Zheng smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that today, the young couple are all in the same place."
Lei Bo was also surprised to see Zi Su when he came in.
He is here to deliver the ledger and report on the recent performance of the store.
Rongzheng was not in a hurry to look at the account books.
She asked Lei Bo: "How is your mother lately?"
Lei Bo glanced at Zisu Fang and replied, "Grandma cares about her.
Mom is very good.
But she still says she is not used to living in Bianliang and wants to wait until winter to return to Nanyang."
Rong Zheng also glanced at Zi Su, smiled and said nothing.
Rongzheng ordered the kitchen to prepare a table of food and wine to entertain the young couple.
Lei Bo was a little cautious.
Lei Bo was about to go back after dinner.
Before leaving, he asked Zi Su: "Do you want to go home?
I will take you back."
Rong Zheng answered for Zi Su: "It's rare for her to come to the villa.
I'll keep her here for two days before leaving.
Be careful on the road."
Lei Bo had no choice but to give up.
Zisu still wanted to serve Rongzheng in daily life as before.
Rongzheng felt sorry for her and took her hand and said: "You are a bride to be married now, so you don't have to do this anymore.
The people in the room are still busy.
You can come in freely."

Just stay with me for two days, and I’ll have someone to talk to.”
Zi Su was used to serving, so it was a bit uncomfortable for her to sit aside and ignore him.
Rongzheng left Zisu with her in bed, and the two of them talked about what happened when they were still in the Rong family in the tent, and both of them were filled with emotion
