In the Wutong courtyard, Luo Shu sat outside the courtyard and watched the wind.

In the yard, Xu Rongrong was drinking tea calmly and calmly, while Liu Ning'er stood aside with her hands down: "I have done everything according to the eldest lady's instructions. I hope the eldest lady will not break her promise."

Xu Rongrong put down the cup: "Are you negotiating terms with me?"

Liu Ning'er knelt down and said, "I don't dare."

Xu Rongrong fiddled with the housekeeper's key and remained silent.

The eldest lady who used to be flattened and rounded by others now looked unpredictable.This made Liu Ning'er very unfamiliar. She raised her head slightly and peered at Xu Rongrong's face, which was difficult to distinguish between joy and anger, and she felt cold in her heart.

She couldn't help but fell to the ground: "This slave has nothing to rely on, please show mercy to me."

"Since I promised you, I will definitely save your life. Although Madam has been deprived of the power of housekeeper, she hates you. If she finds an opportunity, you will still die."

"Slaves save me."

"It's not difficult to survive. You just leave the Xu Mansion and go as far as possible. Now that I am in charge of the Xu family, it is reasonable to replace a group of people and will not arouse suspicion. Letting you out is just a It takes a little effort.”

"But this slave is a son of the family, and his body and deeds are in the hands of his mistress. Even if he wants to leave, he can't leave the capital."

Xu Rongrong threw down a piece of tissue paper lightly.

Liu Ning'er opened it, and it was her own contract of betrayal.

She kowtowed repeatedly in surprise: "I thank you eldest lady. I will pack up and leave the capital immediately, never to come back again!"

Xu Rongrong waved her hands and didn't want to have too much entanglement with her.

After Liu Ning'er left, Wen Yao and Luo Shu gathered around Xu Rongrong.

"Miss, Liu Ning'er had embezzled a lot of money from the house before, so you let her take it away like this?" Wen Yao asked.

Xu Rongrong nodded: "For people like Liu Ning'er, never drive the dog into the back alley, otherwise she will bite you back. Even if it is not fatal, it will be painful for a while."

"But why did she obediently listen to the young lady? If she hadn't gone to the main courtyard to cause trouble today, I'm afraid the master would still be having sex... Also, if the young lady asked the slave to take care of her, I still haven't figured out what it means. ." Luo Shu remembered that he was just following the order of the young lady to tell Liu Ning'er that "the time has come." How could there be such a big disturbance?

Xu Rongrong took a sip of tea: "Do you still remember that when we were at Shaohua'an, I asked your brother to do something for me?"

Luo Shu nodded.

"That was the reason that was planted at that time." Xu Rongrong explained.

"I ask your brother to tell her that if Xu Liu's frame-up of me is revealed, the responsibility will inevitably be placed on others, and she is a ready-made scapegoat."

"I also told her not to place her hopes on Wu Ping and the Changxing Houfu. Even if she gave her innocence to Wu Ping, it was nothing in Wu Ping's eyes. It was even more impossible for the Changxinghoufu to open her mouth to a maid like her. The Xu Mansion asks for it."

"I also told her that if Wu Ping did such an insult in the Shaohua Nunnery, which the late Empress Dowager respected the most, His Majesty would be furious. By then, it would harm the Changxing Hou Mansion, and the Master and Madam would definitely put aside their relationship with each other completely. , only her death can completely end it."

"If she wants to survive, she can only cooperate with me because I am the only one in the Xu family who wants her to live to expose the truth for me."

"But aren't you afraid that she will be defeated?" Luo Shu was puzzled.

Wen Yao figured it out at this moment: "No way, she has saved so much private money, how can she be willing to die? Seeing that it is impossible to use the Changxing Hou Crown Prince to achieve success, it is a good choice for her to be free with her money. .”

"But this is too advantageous for her." Luo Shu said bitterly, Liu Ning'er helped the tyrants and almost harmed the young lady. How could such a person let her live a good life?

Xu Rongrong smiled and nodded her nose: "Think about who we are going to deal with? It's not Liu Ning'er, but she can help us achieve our goal. In that case, why do you have to worry about it?"

After being awakened by Xu Rongrong, Luo Shu no longer struggled.

Liu Ning'er packed up her belongings and left the house overnight. For the first time in 17 years, she breathed the taste of freedom.

Fearing that Xu Rongrong would regret it, she hired a donkey cart to leave the city overnight.

Shortly after leaving the city gate, the driver got out of the car to relieve himself and never came back.

Liu Ning was impatient with waiting and just opened the car curtain.

A flash of white light flashed across her body, and her whole body was nailed to the wall of the carriage with a dagger.

In her eyes that have not lost their luster, a man in linen clothes is reflected, playing with the jade button in his hand, walking further and further away...

In the early morning, Xu Rongrong sat by the window and watched two girls picking grapes from the rack in the yard.

"Luo Shu, where is your jade button?" Wen Yao circled around Luo Shu.

Only then did Luo Shu remember: "It disappeared after returning from Shaohua Temple. I think the rope was loose and it fell somewhere."

"You girl, that was a gift from the lady, one for you and me, and you just threw it away like this?"

"There were so many and urgent things in those two days that I really couldn't care less about looking for it."

Seeing two girls arguing in the courtyard, Xu Rongrong walked out and asked, "What happened?"

Wen Yao's eyes turned red with anger: "Luo Shu lost the jade button that the young lady gave us back then, but...it doesn't matter!"

"Sister, it doesn't matter to me, but Shaohua Mountain is so big that I can't find it back."

Xu Rongrong looked around and saw a small, white jade button hanging on Wen Yao's waist.She remembered that was seven years ago.She bought it for these two girls when she left the house for the first time.

She didn't have much money at that time, so naturally she couldn't buy anything good. Those two jade buttons were not valuable, but in her previous life, she wore them until she died.

When Mu Yi took back their ashes, he also brought the jade buckle back with him. From then on, she has been wearing it on her waist. Except for losing it once in the palace, she has never left it.

There are not many good memories left behind by the jade button, so just throw it away.

She comforted Wen Yao for a few words, and then the girl smiled again.

While the master and servant were chatting and laughing, Xu Chaoqian walked into the courtyard. Today was Xiu Mu and he wanted to take Xu Rongrong to visit his new neighbor.

"Now that you are in charge of the family, you have to start learning the rules of the world. Just as it happens, a family moved in next door yesterday. I heard that everything is exquisite and the accent is from the capital. I think you are not an ordinary person. You will go with me as my father. Go visit.”

Xu Rongrong wanted to refuse, but after hearing Xu Chaoqian's description, she suddenly became curious.

The block where the Xu family lives is not prosperous, and the surrounding neighbors are all ordinary families. The officials are not high-ranking, and they are doing small business. How could a rich and elegant person suddenly move in?

Moreover, that house was only separated from my own yard by a wall. How could it be so mysterious that I didn't hear any movement yesterday?

So she asked Wen Yao to open the warehouse, select some exquisite ornaments for gifts, and then followed Xu Chaoqian there.

Because we just moved in, there is no plaque on the door of the mansion yet.

Xu Chaoqian's servant went to knock on the door, and soon someone came to answer the door.

The door opened, and a familiar face smiled.

If this isn't Shi Muyi, the chief of the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, then who is he?

Before Xu Chaoqian could react, Xu Rongrong frowned slightly.

Subconsciously I want to walk away.

But the next second, a tall man in a green shirt walked out from the corner and met her eyes.
