It’s great to be reborn and marry your brother, but your ex-husband cried and called you sister-in-l

Seeing Lingyu's confused look, the old housekeeper waved to Lingyu to come closer and talk.

"Miss Lingyu, don't you think that the Marquis treats me specially?"

Lingyu nodded: "You are the old man of the Hou Mansion!"

The old housekeeper smiled and shook his head: "Master Hou is not someone who can tolerate sand in his eyes! Aunt Gu's matter involves the safety of my wife, and the relationship with Mr. Zuo. This is not a small matter in the house. I am here If you make a mistake in something, the Marquis will only punish you severely!"

The old housekeeper's eyes were full of gratitude: "It was the madam who made the punishment first. She knew that the Marquis gave her face, so she would never question his choice, so she only fined her a little monthly money. I, this time it is my wife's help. I'm very busy! It's not that I'm afraid of being punished. I am an old man, but I also want to save face. If the Marquis lets someone hit me a few times, the pain will be small, but the face will be big! "

After hearing his words, Lingyu felt emotional and wanted to laugh at the same time.

Her wife is a really nice person...

Not to mention that Ganoderma lucidum was finally found in the Hou Mansion. Although there were still doubts, no one was killed.

Gu Ruanruan was much deserted.

The house she prepared was not big, and she only had one servant, Licorice, so everything was inconvenient.

Early in the morning, Licorice had just finished cleaning the kitchen when he heard someone knocking on the door.

She opened the courtyard door, and when she saw the person coming, her expression changed, and she subconsciously wanted to close the door.

"Wait!"

A hand stretched out from the middle of the half-open courtyard door, blocking Licorice from closing the door.

There was no other way, so Licorice had no choice but to reopen the courtyard door.

She stuck her head out and looked around to make sure no one was around, then stepped aside to let people in.

The person who came was a young man who looked to be under thirty. He was not bad looking, but there was a cunning look in his eyes.

"Good Licorice, how come you don't recognize people after you're done?"

Licorice looked at him with fear in his eyes: "What's the matter with you? I haven't asked you yet! Didn't I tell you to leave immediately after this matter was over?! Why are you still in Kyoto?! Aren't you afraid of being seen?! "

The person coming is none other than Zhang Ming, whom the Hou Mansion is searching throughout the city!

Zhang Ming sneered: "Where's Aunt Gu? I want to see her!"

"Auntie has already rested. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

"You can take charge? You don't think you can get rid of me with a few dozen taels of silver, do you? The whole city is looking for me now. If I don't come to you, where will I go?"

Licorice wanted to say something else, but a lazy voice came from behind: "Licorice, please go out first."

Hearing this voice, Zhang Ming immediately changed his face: "Hey, Aunt Gu seems to be living a good life. This little life is quite nourishing. Can you give your brothers some money?"

Gu Ruanruan frowned: "Didn't I just give you eighty taels?"

Zhang Ming plucked his ears and looked like a scoundrel: "What can you do with that little money? You can walk around a gambling house and it's worth a lot!"

When Gu Ruanruan heard this, his expression changed drastically.

"Didn't I tell you not to go to the gambling house? I gambled to death and haven't I learned my lesson yet?!"

At this moment, Zhang Ming's expression also changed.

"It's not the Prime Minister's Mansion's fault that my mother died! You, the Prime Minister's Mansion, have a great business. They gave me ten taels of silver and they thought of a way to do it. I was just a small bet, but they refused to save my mother! They also said that Mrs. Gu A Bodhisattva’s heart is nothing more than this!”

Even though Gu Ruanruan already knew Zhang Ming's personality, he was still speechless by his completely shameless words.

He himself lost all the relief money given by the Prime Minister's Office in gambling, and in the end he blamed others for not helping him?

Should the whole world give him money?

However, now that Gu Ruanruan had the leverage in Zhang Ming's hands, he managed to hold back his temper.

"How much money do you need to leave Kyoto? Don't blame me for not reminding you. The person standing behind me is the second prince. If I make him anxious, I'm afraid you will lose your life if you have money!"

Zhang Ming shrank when he heard the name of the second prince, but desire prevailed: "I don't care what the second prince and the third prince are. These days, you have to pay people to do things! I want a thousand taels! When I get the money, I Leave immediately, no one can find me! If you don’t have money... I think Madam Houfu should be able to pay a higher price, what do you think?"

Gu Ruanruan was really angry and laughed.

"One thousand taels? Even if I chop you into pieces and sell you, it won't be worth the money!"

"That's your business. If you're not afraid of this being exposed, you don't have to give it to me!"

Gu Ruanruan was forced to do nothing by him.

She knew that Zhang Ming was addicted to gambling, but she didn't expect that the other party would be so greedy!

Seeing that Gu Ruanruan refused to let go, Zhang Ming rolled his eyes and said with a mocking smile: "Others say that you are not welcome in the Prime Minister's Mansion. It seems to be true. The second young lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion is a dignified person. The noble concubine of the Hou Mansion can’t even get out a thousand taels? It’s ridiculous!”

These words really touched Gu Ruanruan's heart!

Seeing Gu Ruanruan's expression of being angry but afraid to speak, Zhang Ming thought he had a chance of winning.

However, what he didn't know was that Gu Ruanruan was just stalling for time by arguing with him for so long...

I don’t know since when, two masked men in black stood silently in the corner of the yard where there was no one there.

Gu Ruanruan was relieved when he saw them coming.

"One hundred taels, take it and leave, otherwise don't blame me..."

Just as Gu Ruanruan was talking, a man in black in the corner suddenly moved!

The next second, Gu Ruanruan only saw a cold light flash in front of her eyes, and then, bright red hot liquid splashed out and poured on her face, followed by the unique fishy smell of blood!

"what!!!!!"

Gu Ruanruan burst out screaming!

After several seconds, she seemed to finally react, and frantically touched the blood on her face with her hands, her voice trembling crazily: "Kill...killed people! You killed people! You guys! What are you doing?! Do you know this is a human life, you are killing people in my house!!!!"

The man in black ignored her collapse and neatly dragged Zhang Ming's body to the corner like a sack.

"Master asked us to solve the problem."

Completely "solved".

But although Gu Ruanruan has been in this world for so long, he is still the same as in the previous world. Where has he seen such scenes? !

"But...but..."

"There is no but. The master is the prince of a country, and the life of a pariah is nothing more. It is not a big deal."

The man in black looked at Gu Ruanruan with some contempt in his eyes: "By the way, the second prince asked me to tell Aunt Gu that you are the person protected by the master. You don't need to be afraid of others. It's just a matter of life. If you still do it in the future, If there is such trouble, just go to the old place and send a message."

After saying that, the man nodded to her: "I have finished the small things, so I will leave first. Also, don't forget the recipe you promised the second prince."

After saying that, he left with another man in black in the corner.

When Licorice hiding outside came in, he saw a large and dazzling blood stain in the yard, and he was so frightened that he took several steps back.

In fact, in some domineering and wealthy families, killing one or two servants is a trivial matter, and Licorice would not be so afraid.

But the Prime Minister's Mansion has always abided by laws and regulations. Even people like Zhang Ming were just kicked out. She had never seen anyone lose their life.

It seemed that Gu Ruanruan, who was standing in the middle of the yard, was stunned with fear.

There were still messy blood stains on her face, and she stood motionless.

Licorice tried not to look at the blood on the ground, and walked to Gu Ruanruan in a few steps: "Auntie, I will help you wash up..."

Gu Ruanruan was pulled into the room by her like a puppet on strings.

The incident happened so suddenly that Licorice didn't have time to boil water for her to take a bath, so he could only bring a basin of hot water and wipe the blood off her face bit by bit with a handkerchief.

Her hands were also stained. When Licorice wiped them for her, she noticed that Gu Baiyu's hands were shaking.

Licorice felt a little sour in her heart and wanted to raise her head to say a few words of comfort. The next second, she was so frightened by Gu Ruanruan's hungry look that she even dropped her handkerchief to the ground!

I saw that the fear in Gu Ruanruan's eyes had receded, replaced by naked ambition and desire...
