In the past few days, there was still a lot of excitement in Duke Jingguo's mansion in the east courtyard.
After Fu Mingzhu woke up and found out what happened, she was about to be killed on the spot! The maid next to him acted quickly and stopped him.
But they didn't stop either. They either hung themselves or jumped into the river. This morning, I heard that they had started a hunger strike again.
Chunyu curled her lips and said: "I think she is not sincere. If she is really cruel, she can be solved with a rope in the middle of the night when no one is around. As for the tossing that makes people fall on their backs?"
Youqing came in with tea, glanced at Luo Ran, and said to Chunyu: "She doesn't want to die, she's obviously doing it for others to see!"
Luo Ran's thick eyebrows drooped slightly and asked calmly: "Where is the Song family? There is no movement over there?"
When it comes to the Song family, Youqing is too worried about their past friendship and has nothing to say, but Chunyu is a little gloating about the misfortune and deliberately lets it slip, saying: "It's interesting to talk about the Song family!"
Luo Ran raised his head and glanced at her.
Chunyu blinked.
Youqing patted her on the head and said, "It's really hard to see the princess spoiling you! If you don't say anything, just hold it in!"
Chunyu stuck out her tongue and said with a smile: "Princess, do you still remember the day when Fu Mingzhu and Master Song came back?"
Song Qingyou drank too much that day, and a little maid went to bring him tea. The two of them accidentally fell into the lotus pond. Fu Mingzhu rushed over and almost killed the little maid without saying a word. Later, it was Fu Shiheng who stopped him and took the initiative to give the little maid to Song Qingyou as his concubine.
Luo Ran thought about it for a moment and nodded.
Chunyu continued: "If we say that little maid, she is quite powerful. She was serving Luo Ruxue at first, but she was safe and sound after the second lady was divorced, and she was still working as a servant in Heng'an Courtyard. Later, she became the concubine of the number one scholar again. , I really can’t underestimate it.”
Youqing asked strangely: "According to Fang's methods, even if Fu Mingzhu cannot learn 100%, it will still be easy to deal with an aunt, right?"
Although no one mentioned that incident again, anyone with a discerning eye would understand why the little maid suddenly appeared there, wearing clothes that were not those of a maid in the Duke's palace.
What's more, Fu Mingzhu has lost such a big ugliness, it would be strange to let that little maid go.
Even Luo Ran thought that the little maid had been disposed of by Fu Mingzhu a long time ago, but Chun Yu continued: "You are all wrong! Not only is the little maid safe, but she is also said to be pregnant! Fu Mingzhu was divorced. Originally, They should all be sent back to the Duke's Mansion, but Mrs. Song thought that she already had Lord Song's flesh and bones in her belly, so she kept her in the Song Mansion, and now she is serving her with delicious food and drink!"
"So fast?"
Youqing said in surprise: "How long have Master Song and Miss Fu been married?"
Getting your aunt pregnant so quickly?
Chunyu said disdainfully: "Do you think everyone is like our prince? That Master Song only looks like a human being! No wonder people say that every time a person slaughters a dog for justice..."
"Okay, stop talking!"
Youqing interrupted Chunyu.
Only then did Chunyu realize that the princess was a little dazed, and she was secretly annoyed when she remembered that the princess had grown up with Mr. Song.
Seeing that both of them were silent, Luo Ran came back to his senses, looked at their strange expressions, and smiled.
She just heard Chun Yu mention "Prince" and she thought of that person. She didn't know where he was now or if he was in danger.
As for Song Qingyou, he has nothing to feel sorry for himself. Whether his life is good or bad has nothing to do with him. If she spoke from the bottom of her heart, of course she still hoped that he would be well.
However, the road is chosen by oneself. You can only walk step by step. Even if it is full of thorns, you have to grit your teeth and persevere.

About three or four days had passed since I met Liu Zimo in Linglong Pavilion that day. Shopkeeper Xu took the opportunity to report the accounts. After everyone had left, he found an opportunity to take out a delicate small box from his sleeve. He presented it to Luo Ran and said in a low voice: "My boss, a new batch of goods has arrived in the shop. You must inspect it yourself."
Luo Ran glanced at the small box, motioned for Youqing to take it, and said, "Where is the delivery person? Has the money been settled?"
Seeing the small box, Luo Ran guessed that the things she asked Liu Zimo to buy had arrived. Although she didn't discuss the price at first, she still left enough silver notes for shopkeeper Xu.
Tell him that if someone comes to deliver something, he must give the banknote to that person.
Shopkeeper Xu replied: "I'll give it to my boss if I go back. It's a thousand taels in total. If there's more, the man won't accept it."
Because the small box had a lacquer seal, shopkeeper Xu didn't know what was inside.
But looking at something as small as a child's fist, it was worth a thousand taels. I thought it was some kind of treasure. After Liu Zimo gave it away, shopkeeper Xu kept it beside him.
At this time, I saw that my boss just handed the things to a maid, so I looked twice.
Luo Ran followed Shopkeeper Xu's gaze and looked at Youqing's back as he entered. He picked up the tea cup and said calmly: "Shopkeeper Xu, do you know who is the most trustworthy?"
Shopkeeper Xu was heartbroken and hurriedly looked away, bending down respectfully: "I understand, Princess. Please rest assured. I only came here today to deliver the account books to the Princess, and nothing else."
Luo Ran nodded.
Youqing came out of it, cleverly stuffed a purse into shopkeeper Xu, and said with a smile: "Thank you shopkeeper Xu for making this trip. With this new look, after the princess takes a look at it, the shopkeeper can order the craftsmen to build it. Then Linglong Ge’s business will be even more prosperous.”
Upon hearing this, shopkeeper Xu took the purse with a smile on his face and said, "Yes, yes, Miss Youqing is right. With the princess here, it will be difficult for our Linglong Pavilion to have a prosperous business."
After shopkeeper Xu left, Luo Ran ordered Chunyu to guard the door and return to the inner room.
Youqing took out the box and handed it to Luo Ran. Just as Luo Ran was about to open it, Youqing whispered: "Princess!"
Luo Ran smiled: "It doesn't matter."
He took a gold hairpin from his head, lightly scratched it on the fire paint, and opened the lid of the box, revealing a porcelain bottle that was all red.
Youqing couldn't help but sigh: "What a beautiful porcelain vase!"
Luo Ran took the porcelain bottle and caressed it in his palms. The porcelain was delicate and the glaze color was even. If you ignored the contents, it was good to hold it in your hands and play with it.
Just this small bottle is probably worth hundreds of taels.
I don’t know if that person did it on purpose or if it was just like this when the medicine came.
"The more beautiful something is, the scarier it is."
Luo Ran muttered something softly, then turned around and put the porcelain bottle back into the box, saying, "Let Chunyu come in."
Youqing went out and stood guard at the door. He saw Chunyu coming out shortly after entering. He seemed to be holding something in his sleeves and nodded to her.
Youqing said: "The princess has a bad appetite recently, please go to the kitchen and make something light in the evening."
"Hey, I understand."
Chunyu left in a hurry.
In the evening, Chunyu came back and saw no one else. While pouring tea for Luo Ran, he whispered: "Master, the things have been delivered. Aunt Qin said thank you."
Luo Ran responded lightly: "Tell her to be careful."
