After writing the letter to Su Xingze, Su Rong almost lost half of his life and was even more tired than fighting with others.
When Wang Ma left, she saw Su Rong slumped on the bed with a tired look on her face, just writing a letter. It was like moving bricks all day. She couldn't finish her words, "Miss Qi, the dagger is a murder weapon. When will you start?" Are you playing with this? If Madam finds out..."
"Don't tell her, won't she know?" Su Rong sat up and made a begging gesture, "I'm just here to defend myself and scare people, otherwise I have nothing to do... Uh, no, Otherwise, if I have nothing, I will easily suffer in a fight with others.”
"With your skills, how can you suffer any loss? Ordinary men, even three or five men can't beat you. Don't think that I don't know that Mr. Chen is usually accompanied by three or five guards. Under such circumstances, you can Do you think your words are convincing after beating him like that?" Wang Ma looked like you should stop fooling me.
Su Rong pointed to her forehead, "But I'm also disfigured."
She took out the sharply polished dagger and said, "With this thing, as long as I show it, most timid cowards, who have lust but no courage, will still dare to mess with me?"
Wang Ma nodded, "That's true, but you have to be careful when using it. Don't stab anyone with it. Even if I am a prefect, I still adhere to royal laws."
"I know." Su Rong nodded and motioned for her to leave quickly, "I won't use it indiscriminately."
Wang Ma wanted to teach her a few words, but it was clear that the little ancestor had lost her patience, and she could only walk away speechlessly.
Yue Wan saw off Wang Ma, closed the door, and approached Su Rong, "Miss, you don't have enough money to buy a dagger. This dagger looks so expensive. Where did you get it?"
"I saved a man a few days ago, and he gave me the reward."
"who?"
"You must be from a high-ranking mansion! He doesn't look like a local, but rather from the capital."
"People from the capital? What are their names? How did you save them?"
"No question. He was being chased. I happened to be netting fish in the mountain behind the Chenghuang Temple outside the city. Seeing how pitiful he was being chased, I used a fishing net to catch the two people who were chasing him. That man You might as well take the opportunity to turn around and kill those two people with one sword."
Yuewan exclaimed, covering her mouth, "Kill, kill?"
Su Rong nodded, "Yes, kill."
"Then, what about the people who were killed?"
"Throw it into the river and float away with the current."
Yue Wan looked frightened, "That man was so cruel, didn't he kill you, Miss?"
"I am his savior. Why did he kill me?" Su Rong had a puzzled expression on his face. "He asked me what I wanted in return. I saw that the dagger on his waist was quite good, so I took it."
"This, this is the murderer's stolen property, how can you get it? What if the government finds the body and finds it on you, Miss?" Yuewan felt that the Miss might have gotten into trouble again, and she had witnessed the murder scene. This trouble was caused by A bit big.
Su Rong didn't take it seriously, "There are so many murders and dumping corpses every year. There is a thick pile of headless cases in my father's study. The water in the mountain behind the Chenghuang Temple leads to the Songlin River, and there are hundreds of miles around. Without the shoal, after a hundred miles, when you reach the Songlin River, the area will be huge, and several nearby counties may be affected. When the time comes, it will be included in the Yamen's files, and it may be another clueless case. "
Yuewan: "..."
There is such a young lady. She feels that living next to her every day is a challenge.
She asked: "What about that person?"
"Let's go."
Yuewan asked: "Have you left Jiangning?"
"I don't know." Su Rong played with the dagger, "He can go wherever he likes, just give me this dagger."
Tired of the moon.
Wang Ma took the letter back and showed it to the eldest lady. The eldest lady looked at the letter, which was written with a rake and a broom. It was a mess, just like trying to make up the number of words. Even the big yellow dog Ahua at home took up several sentences. Her eyes hurt when she read the words, "What is this writing! Can't she write about herself?"
Why did my father go off somewhere to be romantic and happy while he was on business? Why did my mother-in-law have a bad temper recently and she got very angry and lost her temper? Why did my eldest sister fear that she would become an old girl and couldn't get married? Why did my second sister be two years younger than the eldest sister? Yue also hated being married. Why was the third sister so stingy that she wouldn't even give her a sharp hairpin when she asked her? Why was the fourth sister hiding from her when she saw her? Wasn't it just that she lent her two taels of silver and didn't pay her back? What about the fifth sister secretly watching "The Legend of Yuanyang", what about the sixth sister's maid falling in love with the servant in the house, what about that fat cat you raised has gained weight again and she can't hold it with one hand, what about Ahua's broken dog , every time she bought roast chicken, he would smell the smell and run to wag his tail with her. She would even give him chicken bones to eat, and he would bark at the door of her yard at night so that she could not sleep well.
He wrote a lot of useless stuff, and in the end, he didn't mention the fights and troubles he got into. He only wrote one sentence to ask him not to come back. If he didn't get the first prize, all the money he spent on pen and ink would be in vain.
The eldest lady was too lazy to get angry and scolded: "In these years, the money Xing Ze has spent on studying is not as much as the money she spent on fighting, getting injured and getting into trouble."
Wang Ma smiled, "Would you write another reply letter? Hand it to the young master together?"
"I won't write anymore. He will definitely come back within a month. He doesn't care about other people's hair extensions, but there is no way he will be absent from Xiaoqi's hair extensions." The eldest lady thought of something, and her expression turned ugly, "I'll give it to you right now." The Duke's office sent a letter asking if the engagement still counts? Our Xiao Qi is about to get her haircut. If it counts, then it will be carried out according to the agreement. If it doesn't count..."
She did not continue speaking.
But Wang Ma understood what the eldest lady was saying, and sighed in her heart, "Should we send the two letters together?"
The eldest lady nodded, stood up, picked up the pen after careful consideration, and wrote a letter to the old Protector of the Protector's Mansion. She sealed it with wax and asked the Queen Mother, "I am sending this letter to the capital. This is a serious matter, so I don't need it." We are going to the inn, why not send a suitable person to go there in person. Who do you want to send?"
Wang Ma thought for a while and said, "Send Li Yan, the son of Butler Li, right? That boy is polite and meticulous and follows Butler Li."
The eldest lady nodded, "Okay, then send him."
She asked someone to call Li Yan, handed him the letter, and explained it to him.
Li Yan solemnly promised, "Madam, don't worry, I will definitely deliver this letter to the old Lord Protector smoothly."
The eldest lady nodded, feeling very relieved about Li Yan, and waved her hand for him to set off as soon as possible.
After Li Yan went down, the eldest lady thought for a while and told Wang Ma, "For the next half month, you can keep Xiaoqi in custody while I recover from my injuries in the mansion. After half a month, there should be a letter from the Duke Protector's mansion." Well, if the Lord Protector keeps his promise and sends someone to discuss the marriage, but the wound on her forehead is not healed yet, how can she see anyone? It will be very ugly then."
Wang Ma nodded, "Madam, don't worry, I will take good care of Miss Seven. If it doesn't work, I will move to the small courtyard today."
The eldest lady thinks this is a good idea, "Okay, you can move in with her. Fortunately, she still has something to be afraid of. She used to be afraid of Xingze, but now she's afraid of you. Otherwise, things would have turned upside down."
Wang Ma smiled, "To put it bluntly, Miss Seven is still afraid of the young master. Without the support of the young master, she is not afraid of the old slave."
The eldest lady had a complicated mood, "What's the use of being afraid? You can't keep an eye on her every day."
She sighed, "What a sin!"
So, on the same day, two letters were sent away together, one to Yunshan Academy and the other to the capital.
That night, Wang Ma moved to Su Rong's small courtyard.
Su Rong watched sullenly as she moved everything into Yuewan's small house, "Wang Ma, what are you doing? Are you here to be a guest?"
"Yes, Miss Qi, Madam said that in the next half month, I will watch you recuperate and you are not allowed to go anywhere. Madam asked someone to raise the wall by three feet."
Su Rong twitched the corner of her mouth, "Make the wall higher, so that it doesn't collapse and hit anyone."
"Don't worry, it won't happen. We still use the best masons in Jiangning. We can build a wall as high as a city wall, but it won't collapse."
Su Rong: "..."
She wanted to say that she could climb over the city wall, but her mother was too naive.
Looking at Su Rong's expression, Wang Ma seemed to have thought of this, her face stiffened, and she said helplessly: "Whose eldest lady is like our eldest lady, she really has no dignity at all in front of you. Don't be angry with her anymore. If you are really angry, how will you explain it to the young master?"
Su Rong rubbed the soles of her shoes and muttered, "It's not my fault. Who asked my mother to punish me to kneel in the ancestral hall? My eldest brother stopped me. Who asked my mother to punish me to copy books? My father stopped me. Who asked me to beat someone for the first time?" said her mother. Well done, the bastard should be beaten if he bullies a little girl."
Wang Ma: "..."
Yes, it's everyone else's fault.
Who told you to be so cute when you were a child? It's white and tender, like a small dumpling, who would be willing to punish you? The eldest lady is just pretending to be powerful. I didn’t expect that you would grow like this year after year. I’m afraid the eldest lady’s ruined intestines will turn green. It’s too late for the master to regret it. The master should be fine. After all, in the eyes of the master, you will be fine no matter what you do. .
"Hey, if you don't want to go out, don't go out! It's too hot outside now, it's not as cool as home." Su Rong quickly accepted Wang Ma to live in.
Yuewan was very happy, "Wang Ma, it's great that you live here. You can keep an eye on the lady so that she won't run out. Every time she leaves me and runs out alone, I get very bored. I just I can talk to Ah Hua.”
Wang Ma snorted, "You and A-Hua are both getting fat from eating the food Miss Qi brought back from outside."
Yuewan was frightened and touched her face and then her belly, "I'm not as fat as Ah Hua, right?"
At most, her face is a little rounder, and she only weighs so much more than the young lady... How many pounds?
Wang Ma had an expression of "You can say it yourself", turned around and made the bed and folded the quilt neatly.
Yuewan was startled by her eyes, and quickly went to look in the mirror. After a moment, she threw the mirror away and went to look for Su Rong, "Miss, am I as fat as Ahua?"
Su Rong looked at her round face and said, "Being fat is a blessing."
"I don't want it." Yue Wan shook her head, "Miss, I will never eat the food you bought from outside again. You are so bad. You deliberately fattened me and Ahua to compare with your own willow-like skinny beauty. ."
Su Rong was speechless, "What about me? The food I brought back for you, apart from the fish I caught myself, don't the roasted chicken and pastries cost any money?"
Yue Wan nodded, "That's right." She knocked on her head and asked a puzzled question, "You eat with us, how come you never gain weight?"
"Because I exercise every day." Su Rong rolled her eyes at her, "Who makes you and Ahua so lazy? One holds a painting book and reads it all day long, and the other lies in the sun all day long, not even a mouse. Caught."
"Forget it A-Hua, the mouse is pulling at its beard and it is too lazy to stretch out its claws." The moon wilted, "Is it still too late for me to exercise now?"
"You have time. Eat less and run more every day." Su Rong lay back on the bed and played with a dagger. "You will lose weight after running for a year. You will fall down when the wind blows."
Yuewan: "..."
She doesn't really want to fall down when the wind blows.
