"What did you say?"

Rong Zhen wondered if he heard wrongly and asked in confusion.

Ouyang Rong shrugged:

"Yeah, I'll tell you, it sounds like daydreaming. No one would believe it if I told you."

"A former child bride? We've known her since childhood. Why did she become a Yue girl?"

Rong Zhen frowned and asked continuously:

"You know her very well? Are you still in contact with her?"

Ouyang Rong was a little depressed. He turned to look at Ye Weila and whispered:

"Unlocking Wei Lai, Wei Lai knows more about these things. To be precise, the person who knows her is Wei Lai. I haven't seen her awake for a long time."

"See you awake? What do you mean?"

In doubt, Rong Zhen turned around, raised two sword fingers, and poked the white-haired maid sitting next to her several times at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye.

Ye Weilai straightened her body and fell forward like an avalanche. Ouyang Rong immediately supported the personal maid who was as soft as mud.

"Are you okay?" he asked in a low voice.

Ye Weilai shook her head.

She gasped and looked at Rong Zhen, whose eyes were unblinking, and then at Ouyang Rong's encouraging eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, he briefly told the story of how the embroiderer pretended to be a cook and hid in Meilu Garden to protect Tanlang, without describing too many details.

Rong Zhen listened silently, turning his head to look at someone from time to time.

"So you learned this sword move from her?"

"Um."

Ye Weilai whispered, looking at the dagger on the ground:

"She asked me to protect Tanlang, but...it's useless for the slave family."

Rong Zhen pursed his lips and asked again:

"what is her name."

Ouyang Rong shook his head: "I don't know, I only know that I used to have a nickname of Xiu Niang."

"Embroidery lady? Or a mute girl?"

Rongzhen lowered his eyes and thought to himself:

"The name of the anonymous female monarch is generally a secret. Most of them use the title inherited from the female monarch palace to show people. Because entering Yunmeng Jianze means leaving behind the fetters of the world of mortals. At the same time, it also prevents being found by the enemy.

Former family.”

She raised her head and stared at Ouyang Rong:

"Ouyang Lianghan, I didn't expect you to have some ties to an unknown female monarch. I don't know where this female monarch named 'Xiu Niang' ranks in the palace of female monarchs."

Ouyang Rong said nothing.

He picked up the dagger and slowly sheathed it, not knowing what he was thinking.

Rong Zhen looked at his expression.

"Why have I never heard of you talking about such an important thing before?"

Ouyang Rong asked back: "Will Rong Nu Shi tell me everything that's on her mind?"

"Are you still missing her? Are you still regretting missing her?"

Ouyang Rong was lost in thought for a while and smiled brightly:

"No, I like to look forward. Just like she gave up her previous name and started a new life, I also have a new life, a new identity and responsibilities.

"The nature of dependent origination is empty. Just know that you have had that fate, and that's fine. It's actually quite good to keep some things in your heart and not say them out loud."

Rong Zhen shook his head:

"But I have uncovered your scar today."

"Rong Nu Shi also has her own difficulties, understand."

"Aren't you angry?"

"I was angry just now, but I'm not angry now."

"Why."

"Said, I understand."

Ouyang Rong whispered:

"As the head of Xunyang's female officials, Rong Nushi cannot let go of doubts just because of personal relationships. To investigate a case, you need to get to the bottom of it. Even if I am the governor of Jiangzhou, I cannot be an exception."

Rong Zhen was silent for a while:

"It would be great if everyone was as sensible as you."

"Let's just consider it a compliment from Rong Nushi."

"It's the truth, there's nothing weird about it."

"I know."

Ouyang Rong paused, sighed and asked:

"In fact, Rong Nvshi already trusts me enough. Not only did I help to intercede for the postponement, but Rong Nvshi strongly recommended me to attend the meeting of the Supervisory Council not long ago and help persuade Wei Shaoqi, Wang Lengran and the others.

"To be honest, sometimes when I think about this, I feel a little flattered."

Rong Zhen asked: "So you just said that you have always regarded me as a comrade who trusts each other?"

"That's right."

Ouyang Rong nodded:

"So I don't think there's anything wrong with Rong Nvshi being investigated thoroughly today. Rong Nvshi has been very kind and righteous enough."

Rong Zhen turned his gaze away:

"I don't like to say disgusting words, but I have to mention that I owe a life-saving debt to Ouyang Changshi and Yan Canjun for that incident in Huang Xuan's yard."

Ouyang Rong immediately asked:

"Is it because of this incident and the incident of helping to pick up something... something that Rong Nushi is so tolerant and trusting of me?"

He was originally going to bring up the purple bellyband that had been washed white, but Rong Zhen changed his mind midway and Ouyang Rong changed his mind tactfully.

Rong Zhen did not answer Ouyang Rong's question.

She sat alone in the carriage for a while, then spoke again, her face expressionless:

"Thanks to Ouyang Changshi for your cooperation in what happened today. The affair with the Yue girl is indeed a misunderstanding. I already know the specific details and reasons."

Ouyang Rong and Ye Weilai were both slightly stunned.

Rong Zhen's words were precise and precise, and his voice was quite loud, so that people outside the carriage could faintly hear him clearly.

"However, there is still some evidence that needs to be added in this matter. For example, you, the personal maid, have to prove that there is no past experience involving Yunmeng Jianze. Tomorrow morning, please ask Ouyang Changshi to send her birth certificate or redemption contract to the supervisor.

Courtyard, do you understand?"

"clear."

Ouyang Rong didn't squint his eyes and cooperated loudly.

Rong Zhen stood up, opened the curtain, and left the carriage.

She got out of the car and went to give instructions to other female officers.

Ouyang Rong and Ye Weilai, who stayed in the car, looked at each other.

The latter took the dagger again and whispered:

"Tanlang, just now..."

Ouyang Rong frowned, as if he was thinking about something. He interrupted without looking back:

"wait for me."

He immediately left Ye Weila behind and got out of the car first.

In the courtyard, a group of female officials were seen retreating like an undercurrent, disappearing into the dark shadows.

Rong Zhen was at the gate of the courtyard, talking to a fat young man with a calm expression.

Ouyang Rong walked over and said hello.

"Lin Lingtai Lang."

"Ouyang Changshi.

Lin Cheng also cupped his fists and replied, then turned around and continued:
To be continued...
