Chapter 352: Small Punishment
When Liu Ruosi asked this, Aunt Wei became even more embarrassed, with a sarcastic expression on her face. However, Aunt Wei was mentally prepared to come to ask Liu Ruosi today. If she could not provide Liu Ruosi with a satisfactory answer, Liu Ruosi would
Why should Ruosi help her?
"Miss Su Qi and Sister Ninth, they want Madam to fall into the water." Aunt Wei told Liu Ruosi, "They don't want to kill Madam, nor do they want to harm Madam's life. They said they just want Madam to fall into the water and embarrass themselves in front of everyone.
It's said that Madam is too arrogant and doesn't take people seriously. This will also teach Madam a lesson."
Hearing what Aunt Wei said, Liu Ruosi couldn't help but sneer.
Su Qingnuan and Miss Wei Jiu conspired to plot against her. The two of them knew exactly why. Even so, they were unwilling to say it anyway, so they actually said such nonsense.
.
Liu Ruosi had some doubts about Aunt Wei's words at first, but when Aunt Wei said these words, Liu Ruosi's doubts disappeared immediately. If Aunt Wei deliberately fabricated the past in front of her in order to borrow money from her, it was absolutely unacceptable.
I'll make it up like this.
"Keep talking." Aunt Wei timidly stopped talking because Liu Ruosi sneered. Liu Ruosi smiled and nodded to Aunt Wei, gesturing for her to continue.
"Of course they don't want to do it themselves, so they asked you to come forward, right?"
"I can't hide it from Madam. Madam guessed it exactly." Liu Ruosi revealed this, and Aunt Wei suddenly felt that it was much easier to speak. "They asked me to pretend to be careless and pull Madam into the water together."
If Liu Ruosi was the only one who fell into the water, it would be a bit abrupt. It would be more natural to arrange for Miss Wei Liu to pull Liu Ruosi into the water together. To say the least, even if everyone had any doubts, it would not matter.
Su Qingnuan will be suspected.
As for Miss Wei Jiu...
Obviously, the situation at that time, if Liu Ruosi was embarrassed in the palace, the biggest beneficiary would be Miss Wei Jiu. For this, Miss Wei Jiu could certainly make a little sacrifice for a side sister who she despised in her heart.
This trap was arranged very cunningly, but things in the world are unpredictable. Liu Ruosi was agile and alert, and easily avoided Aunt Wei's plan. However, Aunt Wei actually fell into the trap and suffered a loss.
"Just let me fall into the water and embarrass myself in front of others. Is there any other arrangement?" Liu Ruosi asked Aunt Wei.
"No." Aunt Wei shook her head. "That's all I said in front of my servant, nothing more."
"Then why is the Second Master here?" Liu Ruosi narrowed her eyes and continued to ask.
This sentence seemed to touch on Aunt Wei's pain point. Aunt Wei's face became more and more ugly, and she was confused for a long time without saying a clear word.
"Is there anything else that can't be said?" Liu Ruosi glanced at Aunt Wei. Miss Wei Liu has become Aunt Wei, and now she has to borrow money from her. There is nothing to hide in the past. Aunt Wei should
I also thought about it, although I was still a little embarrassed after all.
"My maid doesn't know." Aunt Wei's voice became lower and lower.
"Isn't it arranged by Miss Su Qi? Why didn't you know?" Liu Ruosi asked.
"Whether it is the arrangement of the seventh girl, I really don't know. They have no other instructions except to let the maid pull Mrs. into the water."
"What benefits can I promise you?" Liu Ruosi asked casually.
"I promised you some money to make some makeup for your servant..."
"Yes." Liu Ruosi nodded and did not delve further into this issue. "What happened after that?"
What happened after that, even if Aunt Wei was mentally prepared and risked her life, it was hard to talk about it at the moment.
"Let me ask you an answer." Seeing that Aunt Wei was really embarrassed, Liu Ruosi thought about it and said to Aunt Wei, "Did someone instigate you to do what happened next, or was it your own initiative?"
"It's...it's the servant herself..." Aunt Wei said like a mosquito humming.
"Do you recognize the second master? Who do you think he is?" Liu Ruosi asked again.
"...I don't recognize the second master. I just think he is..." At this point, Aunt Wei couldn't say any more. She covered her face with a veil and started crying. Aunt Wei murmured as she cried
tell.
"...Life is really hard. I'm living under someone else's roof. Under Ninth Sister's orders, I fell into the water. But I couldn't hurt the lady at all. I'm worried. I'm worried that after I go back, Ninth Sister won't let me go. I'm sure.
You are in trouble with your maid and your family."
"My servant was confused for a moment, and... I have already made a big mistake. I am responsible for it. I will never dare to have any more delusions. Madam, please give me a lot..."
Liu Ruosi saw that Aunt Wei was crying so hard and she already knew everything about what happened, so she didn't ask any more questions. Thinking that Rong Chenghan was coming back soon, Liu Ruosi gave Aunt Chang a wink. Chang
Grandma understood and took Aunt Wei out.
When Rong Chenghan came back, Liu Ruosi looked as usual, as if nothing had happened.
"Ah Si, are you hiding something from me?" Rong Chenghan said.
"And..." Liu Ruosi wanted to deny it, but then she thought about it and didn't want to deny it anymore. "I don't want to upset you."
"Whatever it is, it's okay to talk about it," Rong Chenghan said.
"It's not a big deal... it's Aunt Wei... who came to borrow money from me." Liu Ruosi briefly told Rong Chenghan what Aunt Wei had said, "This time there is proof. Miss Qi must be
I would have thought that such a day would come.”
If Aunt Wei hadn't been desperate, she would never have told Liu Ruosi these things. As for the other insider, Miss Wei Jiu, since she was also the person in charge, she would not have betrayed herself.
"What is Ah Si going to do?" Rong Chenghan asked Liu Ruosi.
What to do, settle the score with Su Qingnuan and expose the matter? Now that times have changed, what is the point of settling this score?
"I don't want to do anything yet." Liu Ruosi quickly made a decision, "If Qi Yatou is willing to be honest, it doesn't matter if this matter is revealed. If Qi Yatou is not honest..." Then Liu Ruosi
Si doesn't mind starting over from scratch.
"That's fine." Rong Chenghan nodded, fully agreeing with Liu Ruosi's plan.
"My father once said that you can hold a lot of things in your heart. You are no more petty than an ordinary woman. You are a person who does big things." Rong Chenghan said suddenly. During the period when Liu Ruosi was in charge, the old prince's behavior towards Liu Ruosi
He is very satisfied. The old prince has expressed this intention more than once, hoping that Liu Ruosi can continue to take charge of this family.
"My father is so complimentary." Liu Ruosi smiled, "This is something. There are some things that make me smaller than ordinary women."
While the young couple were talking, Aunt Chang came back. When Aunt Chang came in and saw the faces of Rong Chenghan and Liu Ruosi, she knew in her heart that Rong Chenghan already knew about Aunt Wei.
Liu Ruosi nodded at Aunt Chang.
Nanny Chang felt more confident this time. What Liu Ruosi meant was that she could speak without avoiding Rong Chenghan.
"... She has already been sent away. According to the madam's instructions, she was given twenty taels of silver." Grandma Chang said and gave Liu Ruosi a secret look.
Liu Ruosi understood in her heart and glanced at Rong Chenghan.
Rong Chenghan became a little suspicious when he saw the master and servant exchange glances.
"That's all," Liu Ruosi smiled, "I asked Nanny to ask Aunt Wei some things in private, and you can probably guess it. It's up to you whether you want to know."
"But it's okay to say it." At this point, Rong Chenghan still had something he couldn't guess. After thinking about it for a moment, he motioned to Aunt Chang to go ahead and say it.
"...Second Master... took the name of Lord Marquis at that time." Aunt Chang said.
Aunt Wei made a mistake and Rong Chengxiang not only failed to correct her, but also made a mistake. This led to the series of farce in which the Wei family forced Rong Chenghan to marry her.
What I had vaguely guessed a long time ago finally has a definite answer.
Liu Ruosi did not hide the fact that Aunt Wei came to borrow money from Lao Shi.
"...I didn't want to take care of it, but she came to my door and told me something." Liu Ruosi told Lao Shi.
Lao Shi frowned, not because Liu Ruosi gave Aunt Wei money, but because of these things about Aunt Wei's natal family.
"...She is unlucky, and I don't like her. But now, it's really embarrassing. Her temper makes me hate her. I just want her to be disconnected from her natal family, and I don't know what people will say...
…”
After all is said and done about Law's lawsuit, Rong Chengxiang himself caused all these troubles.
On this day, Liu Ruosi still sent the little pig to Chunhui Hall. She handed the little pig to the old prince, but Liu Ruosi did not leave immediately. Liu Ruosi said a few words to the old prince, but somehow, she just
Speaking of Rong Chengxiang.
"Poor parents in the world, the second master finally understands the painstaking efforts of the father. Yesterday the second sister-in-law told me that the second master no longer goes out to mess around. Every day, he asks people to deliver many books to Tingfeng Pavilion, but
Just concentrate on studying." Liu Ruosi said casually.
"Oh..." The old prince should have been happy when he heard that Rong Chengxiang was reading. But the strange thing was that not only was the old prince not at all happy, but his face suddenly turned gloomy.
"I'm a little tired and need to take a rest. You take the little piggy back first, and I'll send someone to pick up the little piggy later." The old prince suddenly said.
"Yes, father, you must take care of yourself." Seeing the old prince like this, Liu Ruosi didn't hesitate to ask more questions, so she hurriedly brought the little pig back.
After Liu Ruosi left, the old prince immediately called the clever boy next to him. After giving instructions, the old prince sent the boy out. After the boy went out, he came back quickly and reported in front of the old prince like this.
.
"What a disgrace! You will not repent!" The old prince slammed the table angrily, and immediately called a few confidants and servants to come to him, "You hold the rope, don't disturb others, be sure to..."
Liu Ruosi was taking Piglet to see sika deer in Yunshuiju, and a little girl came to report that the old prince had ordered someone to tie Rong Chengxiang with a rope. (To be continued)
