The Green Tea Lady was reborn as the God of House Fighting
Chapter 37 Earrings
It was getting late, and there would be night guards patrolling nearby. Qiu Xiu knocked on the door softly: "Fifth Lady, it's time to go home."
After the discussion, Ruan Yuluan stood up and said goodbye to her aunt and her family. After watching her cousin escort them out, she turned around and walked slowly into the dark night with Qiu Xiu.
She didn't notice that one of her earrings fell quietly on the gravel path behind her with a "click".
The next morning, Ruan Yuxi got up, washed, and changed her clothes. When she went out, her brows were cold and she still looked a little upset.
"I have to get up so early every day to see the old lady's cold face..." She was naturally reluctant, but she didn't dare to claim illness as easily as Aunt Su. If she made this excuse too often, it would inevitably affect the reputation of a girl in the boudoir.
Chunying hurriedly advised: "Why should Fourth Lady care about her? As long as she can get a good reputation, it will be better when she gets married in the future."
"Yes," the girl muttered to herself as she walked, "I heard that my father will be promoted to the capital soon..."
Once she goes to the capital, she will see princes and nobles everywhere... She must seize the opportunity, marry into a wealthy family, and stand out among her sisters!
As I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt something under my feet, which hurt my feet.
She cried out softly and almost fell down, but fortunately she was helped by the maid.
Chunying wrapped the earring with a handkerchief, wiped it clean, and handed it to her to look at. She said suspiciously, "This pearl earring... seems to be what Fifth Lady wore yesterday."
After she said this, Ruan Yuxi also recalled that at the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner yesterday, Ruan Yuluan seemed to have worn such earrings.
She couldn't help but marvel, "This place is in the opposite direction of Guiyue Pavilion... Why did she come here after the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner?"
As she spoke, her eyes changed, and she asked someone to call an old woman on night duty. The girl stared at her coldly and asked, "After the banquet ended last night... did you see any suspicious figures?"
The old woman hesitated and said, "It seemed that I saw two figures in the distance... and they left very quickly. I have difficulty walking, so I didn't catch up to see clearly."
Then Ruan Yuxi raised her fingertips to cover her nose in disgust and waved her hand to signal the other party to follow.
When she entered the flower hall in the main courtyard again, the smile on her face became more genuine. Perhaps it was because there was something lively to watch that made her seem particularly excited.
"Look, ma'am. I just found this in the northwest corner of the garden..."
She asked her maid to bring the earring forward. Ji glanced at it indifferently and didn't see anything special about it.
"This is the fifth sister's earring, but Guiyuexie... doesn't go in that direction. I don't know how it ended up there?" Ruan Yuxi continued, and saw that the wife's expression relaxed slightly, with a faint smile on the corner of her lips, "And the old woman on night duty saw her figure."
As he was talking, he called the old woman up. The old woman was actually very old, and she knelt down tremblingly and repeated what she had said before.
"This old woman is so old that she can't even speak complete sentences," Third Lady couldn't help but question, "I'm afraid her words can't be trusted, right?"
Ruan Yuxi blocked her back lightly: "If you act uprightly and sit upright, you won't be afraid of what people say."
After all, it was not her business, and Sanniang was not clear about the specific situation. She was afraid that if she stepped in rashly, it would backfire. She did not dare to guarantee for Ruan Yuluan and had to remain silent.
A hint of pride appeared on the fourth lady's face.
Ji's brows couldn't help but slightly frown, and Mother Liu, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but breathe a little harder as she listened to these accusations.
Madam doesn't like concubines to have any secret plans behind her back... She needs completely obedient tools. Therefore, this matter is really hard to explain.
If I can't make it up, it might leave doubts in her mind.
Soon, Ruan Yuluan came over. She came in with the second lady.
She didn't wear the pearl earrings today. Even after the solar term, she was still dressed in plain clothes, elegant and simple, but it was obvious that she was an outstanding beauty.
"I met my second sister on the way." She explained softly.
