When I returned to the courtyard, I saw Yu Wenjun sitting leisurely in the flower hall drinking tea. Yan'er stared at him from the side, thinking that she didn't know his purpose.
"Mr. Yu," Xu Ruoshui greeted, "Are you coming to pick up Zi Yan?"
"Of course, I'm not waiting to say goodbye to the eldest mistress," Yu Wenjun stood up and bowed. Xu Ruoshui really hated him like this. He was very hypocritical, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.
"Yan'er, go and see if Zi Yan has gotten up," she ordered, and then said to Yu Wenjun, "Sir, don't be offended, Zi Yan did leave the house last night, maybe she doesn't know the way back.
Then she came back and I kept her for one night, wouldn't you be surprised?"
"Young lady's words are serious, how can I be surprised," Yu Wenjun said seriously, "Zi Yan is returning to her parents' home, so Yu should support her."
Xu Ruoshui hugged him and smiled, this Yu Wenjun was really shameless. He came so aggressively to ask for someone last night, but today he has changed into a different expression.
Zi Yan heard that Yu Wenjun was here, and after freshening up, she went to the flower hall and said goodbye to Xu Ruo. After a night's rest, her body was much better and she couldn't see anything strange. "Ms., I worried you last night. Zi Yan was here
This is my apology."
"Get up, get up," Yu Wenjun quickly helped Zi Yan up, "Are you okay? If you have something, you must tell the eldest mistress."
Zi Yan shook her head, bit her lip and said, "I'm fine."
"Are you really okay?" Yu Wenjun actually started to pull Zi Yan's clothes in front of others, "Let me see, what if there is any injury?"
Zi Yan looked at Xu Ruoshui anxiously and asked her for help. Xu Ruoshui was shocked by what Yu Wenjun did. Why did this man treat Zi Yan like this? He hurriedly stepped forward to stop her and said, "Mr. Yu, you are like this
What is it for?"
"Young mistress," Yu Wenjun said without listening, "Jade needs to be checked. If she comes back with an injury, Yu won't have the money to take her to see a doctor. You must be considerate of this."
"Okay," Xu Ruoshui scolded, "Zi Yan, please, you have seen it. If she is hurt, she will say that you are not acting brightly."
"This is not considered a bright move. What should the eldest mistress say?" Yu Wenjun stopped. Zi Yan's clothes were already disheveled, and she was tidying up beside her with tears in her eyes.
"Wait a moment," Xu Ruoshui was still waiting for Mother Wang to bring the money, but it had been so long and she couldn't see Mother Wang, and Xu Ruoshui couldn't help but feel a little worried.
I couldn't wait for Mother Wang to come, but I waited for Meng Tianbo. He knew what was happening as soon as he saw the situation in the room, so he took the Xiangyun Jade Pendant from his waist and handed it to Xu Ruoshui.
Xu Ruoshui was startled for a moment, then pulled him into the room and said, "This thing is really expensive. I'd better wait for Mother Wang."
"It's just an ordinary thing. As soon as you took charge of the house, Mother Wang would trip you up, and then report it to dad to see how she can still do it." Meng Tianbo suggested.
Xu Ruoshui didn't agree with the proposal to Mr. Meng, but he couldn't wait for Mrs. Wang to come, so he had no choice but to give the Xiangyun Jade Pendant.
"Mr. Yu," Xu Ruoshui came out of the inner room and said, "if there are any injuries on Zi Yan's body, you will know when you go back and take a look. It doesn't look good to be tampering in my yard like this. If there are any injuries, just come back."
Find me."
Yu Wenjun saw the jade pendant in Xu Ruoshui's hand and said with a flattering smile, "Since the eldest mistress has said so, I have nothing to say. I will talk to the eldest mistress another day."
"Zi Yan, wait a minute," Xu Ruoshui pulled Zi Yan and said, "This is the jade pendant given to you by the eldest young master. You can use it to exchange for money or anything. He is telling you that if you have any grievances, don't take it to your stomach.
Tun, come back and tell us, we will make the decision for you, and use the money to do some small business or something. Don't be stupid and have no money around you, you know?"
Xu Ruoshui spoke to Zi Yan in front of Yu Wenjun, and Yu Wenjun's face turned red and white. With the Meng Mansion as her backer, Zi Yan was no longer afraid of being bullied and always went out by herself. Xu Ruoshui
If the water didn't add insult to injury.
Zi Yan thanked her with tears in her eyes before leaving and went back with Yu Wenjun.
When Meng Tianbo saw that the people were gone, he asked Xu Ruoshui to come into the house. There were some small things placed on the Kang table. Upon closer inspection, they were earrings, rings, and a hairpin inlaid with colorful gems. "What are these things...?"
"I found it from the well. I haven't shown it to dad yet. I want to ask you first."
Sure enough, there were still things from the skeleton left in the well, but there was nothing wrong with the jewelry. "If we want to find out the provenance of these jewelry, I'm afraid it will take some time." Xu Ruoshui said worriedly.
"I thought so too, that's why I didn't give it to dad rashly," Meng Tianbo played with the colorful hairpin. Although it had been in the dark for so long, it still retained its brilliance and shone brightly in the sunlight.
.
"Wait a minute," Xu Ruoshui seemed familiar. She picked up the hairpin, opened the window lattice, and let it be completely immersed in the sunlight. The dazzling light made Xu Ruoshui close her eyes.
Something similar to light appeared in his mind, a ring-shaped bracelet? Xu Ruoshui tried to recall it, hoping it was not his illusion, "Late autumn, late autumn~~~" Meng Tianbo didn't know why Xu Ruoshui stared at the hairpin without saying a word.
"What's wrong?" She suddenly came back to her senses and saw his concerned eyes were a little urgent.
"What's wrong with you?" He reached out and touched her hand, which was as cold as water.
"This thing seems familiar. Do you remember the bracelet that fell from Tianqi yesterday? It seems to be a set of items." Xu Ruoshui was actually not sure, so she asked Meng Tianbo.
Meng Tianbo didn't pay much attention to the bracelet yesterday, but there was a little clue. He wanted to try it. His heart was already boiling like hot water. If it was a set of jewelry, the skeleton belonged to Bai Meilan. He looked at it in disbelief.
Looking at Xu Ruoshui, "Is it possible that that person is Bai Meilan?"
"It's useless to speculate without reason. If you want to know, you have to find out." Xu Ruoshui knew that his heart must be in chaos, but there were some things that he couldn't escape.
"You come with me to dad's place," he didn't know what he was afraid of. He only knew that with Xu Ruoshui by his side, he would have support.
"I still have to go to Mom's place. The account books and other things have not been retrieved yet. This matter... you have to go by yourself," Xu Ruoshui refused.
Meng Tianbo was heartbroken when he was rejected. After packing up his things, he left without saying a word.
Xu Ruoshui sighed helplessly and said, I can't pull deeper.
I took Yan'er to Chunhui Courtyard and saw that the four maids were all doing nothing. Mrs. Meng was facing the wall. Naturally, there was nothing to do. However, Mrs. Meng had ordered Xu Ruoshui to see her when she came.
