"This can make those people panic all day long. As long as they are panicked, they will easily make mistakes. This is also called asking for directions." After Zhou Mu finished speaking, he went to explain to Youyuan the details of the night's visit to Rong's family.
At midnight, the Rong family.
A black figure jumped from the high wall like lightning and headed straight for Rong Song's study.
This person is none other than Qi Youyuan.
He searched carefully in the study to see if there was a secret room. However, after spending half an hour, he couldn't find the secret room, and of course he couldn't find the account books either.
After searching every corner of the study, he quietly left the study.
The strange thing is that from the time he entered the Rong family to the time he left, he didn't even find Xun Ye's servants. It was as if the Rong family had nothing of value and was not afraid of thieves.
Before leaving, Qi Youyuan glanced at a dark corner from the corner of his eye, jumped over the wall, and disappeared in an instant.
As soon as he left, someone walked out of the darkness, it was Qian Huyuan invited by Rong Song.
Rong Songyuan couldn't sleep. As soon as Qian Huyuan came, he knew something had happened.
Qian Huyuan whispered about the man in black breaking into the study. Rong Song stood at the verandah in shock: "It seems that our worries are not groundless. His Highness is a kind person and will not come."
Except for Zhou Mu, it is impossible for anyone else to go to the Rong family's study to look for something, and what Zhou Mu is looking for is undoubtedly the account book.
He does have an account book in his hand. Zhou Mu suddenly sent someone over to search his study. Did he know that he had an account book in his hand, or was he just testing?
Rong Yu was also awakened. After she was fully dressed, she quickly came to Rong Song and asked, "Father, what happened?"
Rong Song told what happened, and Rong Yu looked solemn after hearing this.
Before, she could comfort her father that Zhou Mu was just visiting Suzhou, but someone came over to look through the Rong family's study at night. It couldn't be such a coincidence, it could only be Zhou Mu's people.
"If the man in black was sent by His Highness, why is His Highness so anxious? His Highness has just arrived in Suzhou, so there is no need to be in such a hurry. My daughter thinks that His Highness is just testing our reaction. As long as His Highness can't get it,
Once we get the evidence, we can't do anything to us." Rong Yu said sternly.
Rong Song's eyes lit up, "Ayu is still smart and speaks the key points."
As long as Zhou Mu cannot find the account book, there is no way to convict him, and the account book is hidden in a place only he and Ayu know.
With Rong Yu’s solution, Rong Song could finally have a peaceful sleep.
But Rong Yu comforted Rong Song, but she tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Emperor Cheng De sent no one, but sent Zhou Mu to secretly investigate the Rong family. This shows that Emperor Cheng De valued Zhou Mu. In other words, Emperor Cheng De believed in Zhou Mu's ability.
Zhou Mu's move tonight may be suspected of being a test, but at least it represents a signal that Emperor Cheng De wants to investigate the Rong family.
Is it possible that the truth cannot be found in the case that the emperor is determined to investigate?
Rong Yu didn't sleep well that night and got up late the next day. Just after breakfast, she heard that Jiang Li was looking for her.
She went to the living room and the moment she saw Jiang Li, she remembered that Jiang Li and Gu Xiyan were cousins. Maybe she could use Jiang Li to test Gu Xiyan's tone.
It's just that Jiang Li and Gu Xiyan don't deal with each other, so it seems unrealistic for Jiang Li to go find Gu Xiyan.
Soon she came up with an idea.
After chatting with Jiang Li for a while, she said to Jiang Li: "You and the princess are relatives, but I see that your relationship is not very good. As a princess, it is normal for me to want to give you some shoes. What's more, who knows what will happen in the future.
?If one day the prince's concubine becomes the crown prince, or becomes the queen..."
The voice behind her was deliberately lowered, but Jiang Li heard it clearly.
Yes, with Gu Xiyan's identity, she may become a queen in the future. Gu Xiyan and Su Mei are close, and if Gu Xiyan holds a grudge, one word can ruin the rest of her life.
"I have returned to Suzhou, and there is no possibility for me to be with Rong Song anymore. My cousin can't be so stingy, right?" Jiang Li said this without much confidence.
Seeing Jiang Li take the bait, Rong Yu was extremely satisfied: "This matter should be settled sooner rather than later. The princess just happened to come to Suzhou. You took the initiative to come to the door and have a better attitude. How about this, I will accompany you to find the princess."
When Jiang Li saw that Rong Yu was willing to accompany him, his eyes lit up: "Then you come with me."
This played into Rong Yu's wish, and the two of them left Rong's house hand in hand and headed for the post house.
Gu Xiyan slept until three o'clock in the morning before getting up. When she was having breakfast, she heard that Rong Yu and Jiang Li were coming and wanted to see her.
Zhou Mu reminded in a low voice: "I just sent someone to test yesterday, and Rong San came here today. Jiang Li may have been taken advantage of by Rong San."
Gu Xiyan understood, "Don't worry, sir, I'll go meet the guests."
Accompanied by Hu Die, Gu Xiyan went to the living room.
Jiang Li was organizing her words. When she saw Gu Xiyan appeared, she immediately smiled and stepped forward to salute Gu Xiyan: "I have met the prince and concubine, and I suddenly took the liberty to come to visit. I hope not to disturb the prince and concubine."
Gu Xiyan took a seat with Chunhua's support and said calmly: "I wonder why my cousin came to see me?"
"It's rare for the princess to come to Suzhou. Ah Li tried her best to invite the princess to the restaurant for lunch. I wonder if the princess can spare the time?" Rong Yu was the one who answered.
Gu Xiyan thought for a while and then said: "I don't know if His Highness has any other arrangements. I have to ask His Highness what he means. When I came to Suzhou this time, Your Highness took pity on me because I had never traveled far before, and wanted to bring me to Suzhou, a place with outstanding people.
He doesn’t like to socialize with other places..."
Rong Yu felt that Gu Xiyan's words seemed to be speaking to her, as if Gu Xiyan knew that Jiang Li was brought here by her.
This feeling is not good.
Jiang Li didn't know what Rong Yu and Gu Xiyan were thinking. She smiled and agreed, "That's what it should be. I'll just wait here and see what His Highness wants."
Gu Xiyan was about to get up when Zhou Mu came out. Her eyes lit up: "Your Highness is here just in time. My cousin wants to invite us to have lunch in the dining hall. Does Your Highness want to go?"
Zhou Mu sat down next to Gu Xiyan, "It's up to you to decide. After all, this time I am going out to play with you, so I will listen to you."
Gu Xiyan glared at him: "Then you won't be angry if I make a random decision?"
Zhou Mu shook his head: "I don't want to be angry."
This reminded Gu Xiyan of the last time when he was obviously very angry, but it didn't take more than two days for her to calm him down. This man was cruel to others, but he was extremely tolerant to her.
Rong Yu and Jiang Li watched Zhou Mu and Gu Xiyan show affection, and they could only pretend not to see anything.
But in my heart I couldn't help but envy Gu Xiyan, who was so lucky that she could marry a man like Zhou Mu. It didn't matter if she married well, but this man was so kind and doting to her, it was incredible.
In the end, Gu Xiyan made the decision to have this lunch.
Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Gu Xiyan agreed to go, which showed that Gu Xiyan did not hold a grudge.
She didn't know that Gu Xiyan's target was the Rong family, and what happened with Jiang Li was just a small grudge, and Gu Xiyan didn't take it seriously at all.
