"Second brother..."
Shang Ruyi's voice was very soft, even as quiet as a mosquito's murmur amidst the noise of the water and land dojo, and he would ignore it in a moment of confusion.
But she knew that Yu Wenye must have heard it.
But even after he heard it, he didn't have the energy to respond. He still knelt there numbly. His whole mind seemed to have left his body, leaving only a little bit of residual thoughts involved in his body, allowing him to insist on being able to bear all the grief soberly. .
At this time, someone lifted the curtain, and Shang Ruyi looked back and saw that it was Jin Yun.
Her face was extremely pale and haggard. After looking at Yu Wenye for a while, she said softly to Shang Ruyi: "Young Madam, you'd better go and persuade the second young master. He looks like this, and he is so depressed that he will force him out. Seriously ill."
"..."
Shang Ruyi was silent for a while and said, "If you try to persuade me at this time, he won't listen."
"Can--"
"Let's do this for now."
After saying that, Shang Ruyi lowered the curtain and exited, and then ordered to the little girl worshiping in front of the spirit: "Go and change the tea that the second young master has. The tea is already cold. Also, send me a small brazier." Beside him."
The little girl immediately responded: "Yes."
After doing all this, she turned back to look at Jin Yun and said softly: "Aunt Yun, why are you up?"
Jin Yun came back from Liaoxi carrying the coffin. After a long journey and excessive grief, she passed out just after placing the coffin. Shang Ruyi had someone take her back to her room to rest, but just after one night, she came out fully dressed. .
Shang Ruyi said: "You are not in good health and you should take a rest."
Jin Yun shook his head gently: "No matter what, I have to see my wife off for the last time, so how can I hide in the room and enjoy the comfort?"
"Aunt Yun..."
"Young Madam, this time, I'm really tired of you."
Shang Ruyi said hurriedly: "This is my mother's business. How can I be considered tired?"
Jin Yun coughed twice, looked around again, and frowned: "It's so busy outside, why is Han Yuhui missing? What did she do?"
Hearing this, Tu Sheer immediately came up and said, "I heard that something happened at the waiter, and Aunt Hui went over to be the director."
Jin Yun frowned: "How important can the waiter be, when she doesn't care about so many things up front?"
Shang Ruyi thought for a while and said, "Let's go over and take a look."
After saying that, she led Jin Yun and Tu Sheer out of the side door and walked towards the tea room. Just halfway, she heard a burst of crying from the front, as if someone was shouting "Unjust" and other words.
And that voice actually sounded familiar.
The entrance to the tea room was already crowded with people. As soon as Shang Ruyi and others passed by, the servants who were watching the excitement immediately retreated to both sides. Jin Yun said coldly: "It's so busy in front, you have time to watch the excitement here? Everything has been done. ?"
The servants were so frightened that they begged for mercy and immediately dispersed.
They then walked into the tea room and saw Aunt Hui standing in the middle of the tea room. A tall, pretty girl stood by the window with her hands behind her back. There were some tears on her face, but more of them were stubborn anger. There were a few others beside her. An older maid and a boy were surrounding her, all of them seemed to be talking about something.
As soon as they saw Shang Ruyi come in, everyone hurriedly saluted her: "Young Madam."
Shang Ruyi walked in, glanced around, and said, "Aunt Hui, what happened here?"
Aunt Hui immediately came forward and said: "Young madam, it's not a big deal. When the waiter was collecting things, he found that a tribute Yue kiln Wulian celadon cup was missing. Chang Wan took it out before, so now I'm trying to get her to hand it over."
When Shang Ruyi heard this, he frowned slightly and turned to look at the girl standing by the window. She was Chang Wan.
She gritted her teeth and said, "If you can't hand it over, I don't have it with you!"
The people around him immediately said: "You took him out. Now the waiter's receipt does not include this amount. If it is not with you, is it in the hands of ghosts?"
Chang Wan said: "I took the things away, but I also handed them back!"
"I didn't write anything on the list, so why do I say you handed it back?"
Chang Wan stared at a middle-aged man in his forties who was standing on the other side of the tea room and said: "I was handed over to your uncle. At that time, there were guests outside and they were screaming. I couldn't wait until the order was finished." I went out first, and Uncle Gui also promised to make up the list, but he——"
Before she finished speaking, the noble uncle immediately said: "Girl Changwan, don't spit on anyone with blood. The rules of our Duke's Mansion mean that no matter how urgent the order is, the order must be written clearly. You obviously didn't hand over the things." Come back, I'll write this list for you, and don't make any false accusations on me."
"you--"
Chang Wan's eyes turned red with anger.
At this time, Aunt Hui turned to Shang Ruyi and said: "It's not a big deal. As long as the matter is settled, whoever lost or damaged it can just pay for it as it is. But this girl is so stubborn that she won't even give up. I admit it, and I’m not willing to pay compensation.”
That Changwan was also fierce, squeezing his neck and said: "I didn't take it, I didn't take it, the money will not be compensated. If you really want to frame me, then you will pay with your life. I am also innocent!"
Everyone around her accused her of not knowing the general situation.
Someone has already said softly: "I am still a madam. To do such a shameful thing at the master's funeral is really——"
Jin Yun's face was livid, and he glared at the man fiercely, and the man immediately shut his mouth.
At this time, Shang Ruyi looked at the red-eyed irises, then at Uncle Gui and Aunt Hui, thought for a moment, and said, "Aunt Hui, I'm afraid we can't just pay compensation for this matter."
Everyone was shocked.
Even Aunt Hui was stunned for a moment: "Young Madam, this -"
Shang Ruyi said: "That cup was the dowry that my mother brought when she got married. It was my favorite set. I heard that my third brother smashed one before and this was the only one left. I spent a hundred taels of silver to buy it." It's not the same as before; what's more, I was still cheated on at my mother's funeral. How can we just settle the matter and let it go?"
"..."
"Things must be found!"
"..."
"Can you leave this matter to me?"
Aunt Hui looked at her with some surprise, but immediately smiled and said, "Young Madam is joking, I will naturally listen to Young Madam for matters in this family."
Shang Ruyi nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed at the long weed: "Come here, take this girl to the woodshed and lock her up. If she doesn't talk for one day, she will be locked up for one day. If she doesn't talk for ten days, she will be locked up for ten days!"
As soon as he finished speaking, two young men came forward and dragged the long weed down.
Chang Wan didn't struggle and walked out with her head held high, but when she passed by Shang Ruyi, she glared at them unwillingly.
Shang Ruyi said to Aunt Hui again: "There are many things ahead, let's go to the front."
Aunt Hui nodded and followed her out of the tea room. But when leaving, Shang Ruyi turned back to the people inside and said: "Things are always in this house, let alone whole pieces, even if they are broken into pieces, I You have to dig three feet into the ground to dig it out. You just have to do your job well."
The atmosphere was stagnant for a moment.
Everyone said: "Yes..."
