"I...I don't know." Wang Bao shrank his neck and answered uneasily.
Ling Ruo knew that such a person would not shed tears until he saw the coffin, so he immediately ordered Li Wei to invite Yinzhen. Seeing that Li Wei was really going to leave, Wang Bao was so frightened that he almost jumped up, rolled around and grabbed Li Wei's clothes and said hurriedly
: "I said! I said!" He was really afraid of the punishment of Lingchi, who would not be able to survive but not die.
"Yes...it's Guar Jiafujin!" Wang Bao gritted his teeth and spit out the name. "The day after Xiaosi died, I remembered that he said he still had thirty taels of silver hidden under the bed, so I became greedy and wanted to take it first.
I came to pay off some gambling debts, but I happened to be seen by Yun Fujin. She said that as long as I was willing to do things for her, she would pretend that she didn't see what happened today, and she could even give me another hundred taels of silver.
Not only can I pay off my gambling debts, but I can also have enough money to marry a wife. The slave was desperate at the time, so she agreed. Afterwards, she gave the slave a packet of fragrant powder and asked him to mix it with silver charcoal.
To get charcoal, I gave them charcoal mixed with fragrant powder. As for what kind of incense it is, I really don’t know. I beg Master Fujin to have a lot of it and spare my life!"
Ling Ruo was not surprised that Wang Bao spit out the words "Guarjia clan". After the incident at Qingyin Pavilion, she knew that the Guarjia clan was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. In fact, there were many people who could survive in this palace.
Which one is simple and easy to deal with. The only surprise is that I didn't expect her to do it again so quickly.
"Guarjia!" The corner of Ling Ruo's mouth raised slightly, and a strong hatred jumped in her eyes. She pressed forward step by step. If she gave in, she would only have no room for her final foothold.
"Wang Bao, I can save your life, but there is one condition. You must repeat what you just said in front of Lord Beile, otherwise you will suffer the pain of being cut into pieces." She said, leaving no room for doubt.
Wang Bao nodded hurriedly. For him, saving his life was the most important thing. Besides, he was tempted by money and had no loyalty to the Guarjia family. At this moment, Yinzhen took him down before he came back.
, Ling Ruo glanced at the dinner that Shuixiu and the others had just put on the table and shook her head: "Take it away, I don't want to eat it."
Mo Yu filled a bowl of pearl sago and whispered: "Master has not used anything all day long. Even if he has no appetite anymore, he still has to eat something for his health, not to mention that he will have to drink the medicine prescribed by Dr. Xu later."
Well, how can this be done on an empty stomach?"
Ling Ruo put down the already cold hand warmer in her hand and took the small white porcelain bowl. She slowly took a spoonful of the sago, which was looming like pearls in the snow-white coconut milk, and put it in her mouth. It was obviously sweet, but it tasted tasteless.
He lowered his eyes and said softly: "Tiger does not harm people, but tigers do harm to people. If you want to spend your life peacefully here, it is more difficult in this mansion than to reach heaven."
"This is a world where one person eats another." The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and Li Wei closed the window to prevent the wind and rain from blowing in. "Just being favored will inevitably lead to jealousy. Being soft-hearted will only harm yourself. The master should
It’s better to get used to it earlier.”
Ling Ruo sighed and said nothing. After finishing the bowl of coconut-flavored sago, she wiped her hands and stood up, saying, "Let's go and meet this Yun Fujin."
Yuejin Pavilion is the residence of the Guarjia family. At this moment, she had just had dinner and was drinking tea. She was stunned for a moment when she heard the servant reported that Ling Ruo asked for a meeting. She frowned slightly. She and Ling Ruo were at ease in the Qingyin Pavilion.
After that, it can be said that she was torn apart. How could she suddenly come to his place? It was raining at night, and she called her maid, "Go and see if Wang Baoke is in the charcoal room. If he is not there, do you know what to do?"
Done.”
Shortly after Ruyi left, Guarjia met Ling Ruo who was slowly walking in. He held her arm affectionately and said with a smile: "It's windy and rainy outside, and my sister comes just as she says. She's such a rare visitor. Please come quickly."
Sit down and watch tea from Congxiang."
Ling Ruo took out her hand without leaving a trace and said with a smile: "I haven't visited my sister for many days since I entered the house. I'm really ashamed and I forgot to forgive you."
Guarjia seemed unaware, looked at Ling Ruo and said, "I heard that my sister has been attracted by ghosts and gods recently. She has trouble sleeping and eating all day long, and is not in good spirits. It seems that everything is fine at the moment. It seems to be just a rumor."
Ling Ruo took off her slightly damp cloak and handed it to Li Wei who was standing by her side. She raised her eyebrows and said, "Sister, haven't you always believed in ghosts and gods? Why do you think it's a rumor now?"
"I just think that my sister has great blessings. Even if she sees ghosts and gods, she should avoid them. How can she dare to scare her?" Guarjia is a southern woman. She has a rare elegance among women in the capital. Her appearance is even more beautiful under the exquisite pearls and jade.
Tian Qingli, like a quiet and elegant flower near the water, but this is a poisonous flower that seals its throat when it sees blood.
"If sister really believes in ghosts and gods, she should remember one sentence: good and evil will be rewarded in the end. It's not that they are not repaid, it's just that the time has not come yet." Ling Ruo said meaningfully.
"Then let's wait until retribution comes." Guarjia said disapprovingly.
Congxiang quickly made tea, offered his hands to Ling Ruo, who had just sat down in the chair, and said respectfully: "Ling Fujin, please have some tea."
"It smells so good." Ling Ruo opened the lid of the tea, took a sniff and chuckled, "Sister's tea smells so good, I wonder what was added to it?"
"Sister, this is really a strange thing to ask. Tea leaves are naturally added to the tea. What else can be added?" Guarjia had a smile on her face. If someone who didn't know about it saw them, they would think that they were very close sisters.
.
Ling Ruo turned her eyes and said casually: "For example... the fragrance of **."
Guarjia's heart trembled, and she secretly thought that she really came here for this purpose, but it was a pity... If only there were a few more days, with the effect of the incense, Niu Hulu would end up half crazy even if she did not die.
"Sister, I really can't understand a word of what my sister said today. What kind of fragrance is it?" She pretended to be confused.
Ling Ruo put an untouched tea cup on the table, her eyes were as dark as an ancient well, and she said in a deep voice: "Don't say secret words in front of Ming people. I have already said that my sister instructs Wang Bao to mix the incense into the silver charcoal."
Clearly, I came here today to ask my sister, I have never offended her since I entered the palace, so why does she want to harm me again and again?"
Guarjia chuckled, took a Phalaenopsis from the bottle and sniffed it with her eyes closed, "Sister, as a sister, I would like to advise you, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense. I have never done you any harm.
.”
"Wang Bao has taken care of everything. As long as he and the silver charcoal mixed with semen are sent to Lord Beile, it's useless, sister, even if your tongue is full of flowers."
"If that's the case, why do you need to come here?" The fragrance of flowers slowly soothed Guarjia's slightly anxious mood under her calm expression. Her eyes unconsciously glanced at the door, wondering when she would not come back...
