Cheng Yi sent the letter out, and waited for the Princess to summon her, but after waiting for an hour, she did not see the Princess looking for her, so she became anxious, hesitated for a long time and left the study, seemingly wandering in the courtyard, but in fact she was looking for the The little maid who delivered the letter.

After searching around, but couldn't find anyone, Cheng Yi became anxious, if the letter got out and was found out by others, it would be a disaster.Cheng Yi's palms were sweating, and as a last resort, he asked the housekeeper to summon all the maids in the house.

Cheng Yi looked at them one by one in the yard, but did not find the little maid delivering the letter.

"Housekeeper, are all the maids in the house here?"

The housekeeper nodded and said: "Go back to the county horse, all of them have arrived."

Cheng Yihan looked at the maids in front of him with a frown and said: "Look at each other, who is missing among you?"

The servant girls looked at each other when they heard the words, and all bowed their heads in silence.

With sharp eyes, Cheng Yi noticed that the pupils of the little maids were flickering.

"Don't tell me?" Cheng Yi walked among the maidservants, "Housekeeper, bring me the account book for the monthly payment from the house."

Cheng Yi was ordered, and the housekeeper had no choice but to take the account books himself.

Cheng Yi opened the account book, counted the number of maids, and then raised the account book and asked: "Housekeeper, this is strange, there are eighteen maids in this account book, why is there only seventeen maids in front of me, where is the other one?" Don't you? The majestic butler doesn't even know how many maids there are in the house? How did you work in the palace before?" Cheng Yi said and threw the account book on the butler.

Seeing that Cheng Yi was really angry, the steward quickly knelt down and said, "Old servant is negligent, old slave is negligent."

"Oversee? I remember that you have a son. Could it be that your son raped him for sex?" Cheng Yi narrowed his eyes, "The family has lost someone, and I can't ignore it as the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. Come on, go to the Ministry of Punishment to send a message to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. , ask him to bring someone to ask the butler to speak in court."

"Jun Ma, Jun Ma, this old slave is wronged." The steward was impatient, thinking that it was nothing unspeakable for the prince to ask for someone, so he said: "The prince took that maid away. Go back to serve the princess."

Hearing this, Cheng Yi staggered two steps back, her fists clenched tightly in her sleeves, she obviously stayed in the house for a stick of incense before someone delivered the letter, why did the prince stay in her house for so long, Cheng Yi suddenly thought of the prince kicking When she walked in, she was holding a letter in her hand. Could it be that the prince had already noticed it at that time?

Cheng Yi quickly calmed down. It is better for the letter to fall into the hands of the prince than to be left in someone else's hands. At least with the prince, she still has room for maneuver.

"Junior horse, someone from the palace, please come to the palace." The guard hurriedly ran to the front yard to report.

Come so fast?Cheng Yi frowned and said, "Prepare the sedan chair."

"Here!" The doorman took the order and left.

Cheng Yi glanced at all the maids in the yard, pointed at one of them casually, and said, "Just you, I originally wanted to find someone to serve the pen and ink, since that little girl was taken by the prince, then you will be in the study from now on." Be on errand."

"Here." The maid who was pointed at was startled, and hurried forward to bless her, this is a good job.

Cheng Yi nodded and turned to walk towards the gate.

In the main room, Ah Hua came back from the outside, walked up to the princess who was reading a book and muttered a few words.

Song Rongyue closed the book when she heard the words, and said, "For a maidservant, mobilizing people to find someone?"

"Yes, princess, tell me, did the county horse fall in love with that girl, and the prince noticed it and called her away. The county horse couldn't find her, so he summoned the maid to look for her?" Ah Hua speculated.

Song Rongyue clenched her lower lip when she heard the words, what Ah Hua just said was very harsh to her ears, is she really not as good as a maidservant?At this moment, Song Rongyue felt an unprecedented humiliation.

"What did the maid who the county horse pointed out to the study look like?"

"It's not pretty, not one-third as beautiful as the princess." Ah Hua said sincerely.

Song Rongyue stood up and walked behind the screen: "What about the county horseman?"

"My lord has called."

"Aqin, prepare the sedan chair." Song Rongyue decided that there was something tricky about it.

"Here." Ah Qin walked out quickly.

Song Rongyue had better clothes, and as soon as she walked out of the Chuihua Gate, she heard the noise in front and hurried to the front.

"Bastard, you dare to stop me, tell that Cheng Yi to get out of here, and call Rong Yue up." Princess Xiao led a group of maids to show off in the front hall.

Seeing Princess Xiao's posture, Aqin had no choice but to send the little maid to the palace to invite the county horse.

"Auntie, why are you here?" Song Rongyue saw that it was Princess Xiao and hurried forward.

"Rongyue, you came just in time, that Cheng Yi killed your cousin Xu Kai, you help your aunt to call out Cheng Yi." Princess Xiao sat on the chair with a cold face, as if the next moment she saw Cheng Yi, she was about to tear Cheng Yi into pieces. Thousands of looks.

Song Rongyue was shocked.

"The county horse killed Xu Kai?"

"You don't know? Your cousin just went to the morning market today. Cheng Yi asked people from the criminal department to arrest your cousin in the morning market. He didn't have a trial, so he took him directly to the court and beheaded him. Wait for me and When your uncle arrived, your cousin's head had already fallen to the ground." Princess Xiao wiped her scalding tears with a handkerchief as she spoke.

"Auntie, is there a misunderstanding in this? Jun Ma is not the kind of person who orders executions without asking indiscriminately." Song Rongyue didn't want Cheng Yi to have an accident, no matter how annoyed Cheng Yi was.That Xu Kai is nothing more than the nephew of Concubine Xiao's natal family, if he really broke the law, he would die as well.

Princess Xiao raised her head when she heard the words and said angrily: "Rongyue, you protect your county horse so much, don't you forget about the relationship between your aunt and your uncle?"

"Aunt and Uncle are good, how could Rongyue forget it, it's just a matter of human life, it's better to ask clearly."

Concubine Xiao came out of the palace, she naturally knew what was going on, she asked Xu Kai's followers, it was indeed a murder, but the royal family broke the law and can use gold and silver to atone for their sins, why must they die.She just couldn't be angry, and if she wanted to find Cheng Yi's bad luck, even if His Majesty knew about it, she could only turn a blind eye and never do anything to her.

"Okay, ask clearly and call Cheng Yi out."

"Auntie, the county horse is not at the house." Song Rongyue said helplessly.

"Okay, if he doesn't come out, I won't leave."

Song Rongyue turned around helplessly and walked to Ah Qin's side and said, "Tell the county horse not to come back."

Ah Qin was shocked when she heard this, she had already sent someone to notify the county horse.

"Aqin, go pour a cup of tea for the princess and get some snacks." Song Rongyue winked at Aqin.

A Qinfu hurried out behind him, ordered a servant to inform the county horse not to return to the house, and went to the back kitchen to prepare refreshments.

In the study room of King Ming's Mansion, King Ming scolded Cheng Yi bloody.

"You and Rongyue are already husband and wife, and you still handed over this letter, you want to make Rongyue feel so miserable, you."

Cheng Yi knelt and said straightly: "Father, Wang Mingjian, I don't know the contents of this letter. I came back from the palace today, just in time for the postman to deliver the letter. I happened to have something to see the princess, so I took the letter. Who knows As soon as I returned to the study, before I could take off my official robes, my father came."

King Ming heard the words and didn't know whether what Cheng Yi said was true or not, so he had to threaten him: "I will forgive you this time, but next time, I will let you know what pain is. I heard that the one in Nantong has already given birth."

Cheng Yi was shocked, bowed his head and said: "My son-in-law has nothing to do with them anymore, Father, but please rest assured."

"My lord, the princess has sent someone here." The guard outside the door said.

King Ming was helpless, the water splashed by his married daughter, after so much time, came to ask for someone.

"Go, keep today's words in your heart, and don't sleep in the wing room. How long has it been? Go back to the room tonight."

"Here." Cheng Yi got up, bowed, turned and left, and left the study, only to feel that after the catastrophe, all the people in the county horse mansion except Cheng En are the prince's people, and she must start cultivating her own people as soon as possible.

"Jun Ma, Princess Xiao is here, please come back quickly."

Cheng Yi understood what he said, and hurried out. Just as he was about to get into the sedan chair, a servant ran over panting.

"Junma, the princess told you not to go back."

Cheng Yi was stunned for a while, then turned around and got on the sedan chair without paying attention.

Cheng Yi's sedan chair landed in front of the gate, and as soon as he got off the sedan chair and entered the front yard, he saw the princess helping Princess Xiao out.

When Song Rongyue saw Cheng Yi, her face panicked, she managed to persuade Princess Xiao to be good, but when this man came back at such a critical moment, all her previous efforts were wasted and her words were wasted.

"Cheng Yi, you're finally back." When Princess Xiao saw Cheng Yi, her eyes lit up.

"It turns out that the princess is at the mansion. Cheng Yi saved the family from a disaster, and the princess came to thank her?" Cheng Yi laughed.

"you you you......"

"Junma, don't be rude to aunt." Song Rongyue cast a glance at Cheng Yi, supported Princess Xiao and said, "Auntie, Junma is upright, please don't take offense."

Princess Xiao pushed Song Rongyue away when she heard the words, pointed at Cheng Yi and said, "Cheng Yi, you bastard!!!" After saying that, she winked at the people around her, and the woman went madly towards Cheng Yi in an instant, Cheng Yi was stunned until he felt pain in his neck and came back to his senses, and quickly backed away.

"What are you doing standing there?" Song Rongyue was shocked, and reprimanded the guard next to her.

The guard quickly stopped the old lady, Song Rongyue walked down the steps slowly, walked up to the old lady, looked at her coldly, then raised her arm, and slapped the old lady twice across the face.

"Don't even look at your own identity, my county horse dares to hurt you?" After Song Rongyue finished speaking, she glanced at Princess Xiao from the corner of her eye, "This is not over, I want to go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother!!"

Concubine Xiao couldn't hear it anymore, she hurried forward and said: "Rong Yue, she is also eager to protect the lord, there is no need to alarm the Queen Mother about this matter." She forgot for a moment that Song Rongyue was not a bully.

"Eager to protect the lord? Shicai Junma didn't do anything to my aunt." Song Rongyue said angrily.

Princess Xiao was choked.

"Princess, princess, please forgive me. The old slave was furious for a while, and complained for the young master. I beg the princess to forgive me." The woman knelt down and begged for mercy.

Song Rongyue glanced at Cheng Yi when she heard the words, and saw that he was clutching his neck, whether they were husband and wife after all, Song Rongyue's eyes flashed with distress.

"Aggrieved? He, Xu Kai, robbed the girl in the morning, and kicked her father to death. According to the law, he deserved to die. Why are you complaining?" Cheng Yi showed his grievances in front of everyone.

When Song Rongyue learned the truth, her heart fell to the ground and at the same time she became worried. Now she has become enemies with Prince Xiao's Mansion.

"Cheng Yi, you know that money can be used to forgive sins." Princess Xiao said angrily.

"The common people are outraged this morning, and if they don't kill them, it won't be enough for the common people to be angry." Cheng Yi replied neither humble nor overbearing, and ignored the angry princess who almost jumped, and looked at the woman on the ground, "Come on, take this woman to the Ministry of Punishment Prison, one year according to the law."

When Princess Xiao heard the words, she pulled Song Rongyue and said, "Rongyue, you can't ignore this matter."

Song Rongyue glanced at her mouth and said: "What do I care, who told you to hurt him." After saying that, she flicked her sleeves, turned around and walked back.

Princess Xiao cursed loudly when she heard the words.

Song Rongyue turned around angrily: "Swear again, I'm going to the palace to see the Queen Mother."

Princess Xiao shut up instantly when she heard the words, her face flushed from holding back.

At this moment in Yanghe, Shen Wenchang was painting in the room, and Lu Qingyi entered the study with hands behind his back and a face full of joy.

Shen Wenchang glanced up and asked, "What's the matter, so happy?"

"My father has sent a letter." Lu Qingyi smiled and raised the letter in his hand.

"Oh? What did my father-in-law say?"

"She asked you to go back to Nantong during your ten-day break." Lu Qingyi approached, blinked her eyes, and said with a smile: "It must be that your reputation has spread to Nantong. My father was surprised, so I asked you to go back and test your status. Genuine or fake."

Shen Wenchang couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard the words: "So what if it's true or not, how can he deny me as a son-in-law?"

"Then are you going back?" Lu Qingyi stood beside Shen Wenchang, her slender fingers quietly stained her back with ink.

"No, the new county magistrate and chief secretary have just taken office, so I'm too busy." Shen Wenchang continued to bend down and paint.

"Are you busy?" Lu Qingyi smiled, stretched out her right hand from behind, and pressed it on Shen Wenchang's painting, leaving two ink-stained fingertips when she raised her hand.

Shen Wenchang glanced at Lu Qingyi, bent down and drew a bird flying high with a few strokes on the belly of his finger.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk." Lu Qingyi looked regretful, and stretched out her hand to the inkstone again.

Shen Wenchang's complexion changed, he took Lu Qingyi's hand and said, "Go, go, it's been so long, I'm so homesick, we'll go back next ten days off."

Hearing this, Lu Qingyi looked at Shen Wenchang, but now she didn't look playful, she looked at Shen Wenchang very seriously and said, "I really decided to go back? Don't get too excited after seeing your mother, lest you scare your mother and your father."

"En." Shen Wenchang nodded, and when he mentioned his mother, he was a little sentimental. Even though her mother did not give birth to her in this life, she still thanked God for having such a mother-daughter fate.

"Grandpa, Miss, it's not good, you go to the front and have a look, Mr. Chen was beaten up by Mrs. Chen." Xiao Rou hurriedly ran into the study.

"What?" Shen Wenchang and Lu Qingyi looked at each other and hurried forward.

In the front yard, Chen Huayun tremblingly hugged Shungan, with his eyes closed, with an expression of death.And Liu Zhaoping held up the whip angrily, saying that he was hitting Chen Huayun, but the whip hit the tree trunk.

"What's the matter, this is?" Lu Qingyi pulled Liu Zhaoping back, "Yesterday, it was fine."

"It's not that I don't want to be good, it's that the idiot hid money from my house behind my back and gave it to the widow in Qianjie." Liu Zhaoping became impatient.

"What's going on?" Shen Wenchang looked at Chen Huayun on the tree.

Chen Huayun was aggrieved, hugged the tree trunk and said: "Master, things are not what she said, that sister-in-law Xu's child is sick and has no money to see a doctor, I happened to sell a painting that day, I feel sorry for their orphans and widows, so I gave out some money To Mrs. Xu. Ah Chu's mother is usually very tight on money, and I didn't talk about it when I got home. Today, someone came to thank her. When it was revealed, she became angry after he left, and I ran out in fright , she chased him out with a whip, and ran all over the street, killing everyone."

"Whether you have good intentions or bad intentions, it's wrong for you to do this behind my back. I'm not a cruel person. Tell me the truth, can I still have trouble with you?" Liu Zhaoping angrily threw his whip under the tree.

Lu Qingyi took Liu Zhaoping's hand and persuaded: "Don't be angry. Fortunately, it's not an essential fault. Don't blame her. This kind of thing of making money behind the back of his wife's back is rooted in his ancestors and inherited."

"Ah?" Liu Zhaoping and Chen Huayun were stunned, not understanding what they meant.

Only Shen Wenchang squinted at Lu Qingyi, and he was ashamed to bring up the matter of Chen Zhima and rotten rice in several lifetimes.
