After entering the house, Rong Yue couldn't wait to talk, "I noticed something was wrong with him earlier. He ran out all day long. Even Xiu Mu was not at home to accompany the child. He didn't see anyone at night. It turned out that
I thought it was because he was busy with official duties, but later I asked the people in the Yamen and found out that it was not the case at all. He had a rich private life and went sightseeing with others. That night, I waited until Haishi and didn't see him come back, so I asked someone to inquire about him.
When I learned that he was in the Tingzui Pavilion, I immediately went to look for him and opened the door of the private room. He and a woman were drinking inside, drinking alone with no one else around."
Yuan Qingling tried her best to save it, "I just drank and didn't do anything else. Could it be that you are overthinking it?"
Rong Yue frowned, "If Lao Wu and a woman were drinking alone in a private room, would you think you were overthinking it?"
Yuan Qingling thought for a while and realized that it really couldn't be solved.
"Then what did he say after you broke it?"
Yuan Qingling asked.
Rong Yue was furious, "He actually told that woman that I was his sister. Do you think that's outrageous or not?"
"ah?"
Yuan Qingling was stunned, sister?
Isn’t this too ridiculous?
Could it be that the woman didn't know that King Huai was married?
"Then you lost your temper?"
Yuan Qingling felt that with Rong Yue's character, she would flip the table.
"No offense. Since he said I was his sister, I just called him brother and left. Is this kind of scum worthy of my anger?
After I left, I packed up my things and left, and I didn’t even want the kids.”
Rong Yue said coldly.
Yuan Qingling asked: "Does he have any difficulties?
Do you want to think rationally?"
"No woman can be rational in this regard. I don't want to think about it. If he really has difficulties, why doesn't he come to explain after I've been here for three days?
Even my mother-in-law came here, but he didn’t come.”
Yuan Qingling thought that Concubine Lu was quite good. Generally, mothers would pamper their sons. Taking concubines and finding women was not a problem in this era.
But there was always something strange about this incident. Maybe she simply thought that Lao Liu was not that kind of person, but more importantly, Rong Yue actually left behind a pair of children, which was really unbelievable.
But maybe Rong Yue is right. In this regard, it is impossible for women to remain rational.
Unless you don't love it anymore.
"Do you know who that woman is?"
Yuan Qingling asked.
"I don't know, and I don't want to ask. What I care about is that he can't tolerate me. Other women are thinking about my husband-in-law. I'm angry. But if he wants it, the blame won't be placed on anyone else, not her.
There are other women."
Yuan Qingling felt that Rong Yue's idea was quite avant-garde.
But, how did this happen?
"Then you just abandon the child?"
Yuan Qingling asked.
Rong Yue hummed, "I'm so relaxed, why should I take the child away?
He can keep the child, it’s not like he can’t afford it. If after the divorce, he wants to marry that woman and dares to be mean to my child, I will definitely kill her back."
Yuan Qingling was a little bit dumbfounded, had she thought of such a long term?
I even thought about my stepmother coming in.
After a pause, Rong Yue said with a cold face: "Besides, if I am not in the house, he is not allowed to go back to take care of the child?
How can you go out and find women so freely?
A pair of children is enough for him to deal with."
"Don't you think there are other possibilities?"
Yuan Qingling asked.
"I thought about it, but he didn't come to explain. I gave him a chance."
Rong Yue said calmly.
Yuan Qingling felt that she was not that sad, but rather that the two of them were living a dull life and wanted to find something to torture themselves and promote their relationship.
She had to ask the sixth child. It was best not to bother the fifth child about this matter.
Yuan Qingling accompanied Rong Yue until the evening, thinking that the sixth child would have gone home from get off work, so she went to Prince Huai's Mansion.
Sure enough, King Huai had come back and was playing with his children. When they saw Yuan Qing coming, they ran towards her and called her uncle.
Rong Yue's children combined the advantages of Rong Yue and King Huai, and they were very good-looking. Yuan Qingling liked them very much, and held their hands and asked them a few words before letting them play.
King Huai came forward and said in a polite voice: "Why is the fifth sister-in-law here?"
"I have something to ask you!"
Looking at his evasive eyes, Yuan Qingling knew that he was guilty, and couldn't help frowning, "Lao Liu, you really have a woman outside, right?"
King Huai said bitterly: "Fifth sister-in-law, you think so highly of me, where can I be?
Rong Yue misunderstood."
"Then what happened?
Who was the woman she saw with her own eyes?"
Yuan Qingling asked.
King Huai invited her in, but his eyes began to dodge again, "Let's talk after we get in, we'll talk after we get in."
Yuan Qingling followed him in. After King Huai sat down, he sent his servants away and asked, "Did the fifth sister-in-law just come from the Prince of Chu's Mansion?
How about Rong Yue?
Are you still angry?"
"She must be angry, but you didn't explain it to her. Since it's a misunderstanding, why can't you explain it clearly?"
Yuan Qing Lingdao.
King Huai suddenly fell down, "Are you still angry?
I just wanted to wait until her anger subsided before I explained to her. You know she has a bad temper, and she wouldn't listen to anything I said when she was angry. I thought that if I let her calm down for two or three days, she would calm down."
Yuan Qingling couldn't laugh or cry, "The more you don't explain this kind of thing, the angrier she becomes. How can she calm down?
Since it's a misunderstanding, just explain it properly, but I would like to know why you were drinking alone with a woman in a private room?"
King Huai confessed truthfully.
It turned out that this woman was the adopted daughter of Zhang Yujiang, the salt and iron envoy, and Sun Yingying, the eldest daughter of Sun Qi, the salt and tea envoy in Dujiang Prefecture.
King Qi of Jingzhao Prefecture joined forces with him to investigate the illegal salt matter. It happened that Sun Yingying came to the capital to visit relatives and stayed at the home of Zhang Yujiang, the iron salt envoy. It also happened that King Qi and King Huai came back from doing errands that day and went to a teahouse to eat together.
During the tea ceremony, he encountered Miss Sun Yingying who was being treated lightly. King Huai came to the rescue, and Sun Yingying had a good impression of him.
Because the investigation was stuck in a bottleneck and unable to break through, King Qi came up with a plan to let him get close to Sun Yingying to find out the news.
Yuan Qingling was so shocked that her jaw dropped, "Then does Sun Yingying know your identity?"
King Huai shook his head, "I really don't know. She is new to the capital and has never seen me."
"But the girl in the boudoir may not know about his father and adoptive father!"
"We just want to know whether her father has contacts with private salt dealers, how their friendship is, and whether the contacts are frequent. Don't think that Sun Yingying is a boudoir lady, but she has been helping her father to do things outside in the past two years. Sun Qi has no son, so
He raised her as his son and left many things to her, so he is almost thirty and has not yet gotten married."
Yuan Qingling sighed lightly, "Since she is not an ordinary boudoir lady, how could she reveal these fatal things to you so easily?
And she has been helping his father with things, so how could she be treated lightly and not know how to counterattack?
I'm just afraid that if you set up a trap, you will be the one who ends up being fooled."
King Huai was startled, "Isn't this... impossible?"
"Why not?
You'd better stop doing this, go and coax Rong Yue first, and investigate the case separately. In recent years, you have been on errands for the court and have been in and out of government, so she may not know about you."
Yuan Qingling suddenly thought of something. Rong Yue had been in Lenglangmen for so many years. What troubles had she not encountered?
How could you lose your temper over this?
Moreover, she actually said that she did not know the identity of Sun Yingying. The Lenglangmen had the best information. How could she not find out the identity of a woman who drank with Lao Liu?
If the investigation is clear and she knows her husband's temperament, but she still gets angry like this, then she must have a plan. I'm afraid she is the one who really wants to investigate the case.
