Mrs. Tai is really rich

The courtyard Xie Ruqing arranged for Chu Ci was an ordinary small house hidden among many residences in Kyoto.

There are no magnificent decorations and priceless treasures in the house, and there are no groups of maids for service. There are only two ordinary rooms, ordinary wooden furniture and decorations that can be bought for a few taels of silver, and two or three A dumb slave who only knows how to work hard.

Chu Ci didn't care about the gap between the gains and losses of living in a magnificent post house a few days ago but now living in such an overly simple environment.

On the contrary, I am quite satisfied with being in such an ordinary courtyard. In such a summer day, this courtyard is full of peonies.

The peonies in the courtyard are really beautiful: the purple peonies are plump, with even and delicate luster, the red peonies are bright, like the rouge face of a shy girl, and the pink peonies are delicate, like the sweet smile of a pretty little girl.

It makes people feel happy~
Chu Ci stayed in this peony-blossoming courtyard for several days, never stepped out of the door, just watered and fertilized the peony flowers with the dumb slaves every day, and walked around in simple robes. In the flower field, Chu Ci looked like a literati with self-cultivation and self-cultivation. Even Xie Ruqing was quite surprised when he saw it for the first time...

However, how could Xie Ruqing not know what kind of person Chu Ci is?

As the saying goes, there must be an unfathomable vortex under the calm water surface, which will kill people...

In Xie Ruqing's eyes, Chu Ci's current appearance of wanting nothing, is like the surface of calm but turbulent water, hiding murderous intentions... Xie Ruqing is very vigilant...

Therefore, even though Chu Ci hasn't stepped out of this courtyard for the past few days, Xie Ruqing runs here whenever he has time...for fear that Chu Ci will do something uncontrollable while he is not paying attention...

Just like today, Xie Ruqing was finally liberated from the endless arguments in the court today, but it was rare that she didn't go home to find her own daughter-in-law immediately, but sent people to Chuci's residence non-stop, Sitting with Chu Ci on the porch and making scented tea to pass the time...

"Brother, thank you so much, you always come to accompany me these days..."

"However, senior brother, you are so busy with official duties, in fact, you don't have to come every day..." Chu Ci was wearing a slightly loose cyan robe, with a calm face and a calm smile, sitting opposite Xie Ruqing, sitting across from the boiling tea. The rising layers of mist said slowly.

"How about the official duties, there is no day when they are finished. Even if they are finished, there will be new things and tasks coming one after another. These are small things."

"It's you...you've been alone in this courtyard for so long...but you're already troubled..." Xie Ruqing looked at the bubbling clear water in the small stove with a calm expression, and then said pointedly...

"Annoyance... What are you worrying about? Senior brother is really good at joking. Although this place is a bit deserted, it doesn't mean that there are troubles..." Chu Ci said pretending not to understand.

Xie Ruqing looked at Chu Ci's appearance of pretending to be stupid, and couldn't help but feel helpless. As a junior, he must be scheming something again...

"You understand what I said... I just want to tell you that you have to be careful in everything you do... This is Dayong, not Nanman, neither you nor I can cover the sky with one hand..."

When Chu Ci heard the words, he suddenly took out a few dry peonies from his sleeves, placed them on the table, and said:
"Since you have said, senior brother, that neither you nor I can cover the sky with one hand, then what are those people relying on to completely escape your and my eyes and ears and lurk into Dayong..."

"Brother... tell me... who can have such a great ability..."

When Xie Ruqing heard Chu Ci's words, just like Chu Ci, a person's name popped up in her heart involuntarily. Chu Ci obviously accepted this fact very calmly, but Xie Ruqing may have some concerns or something For other reasons, therefore, instead of directly answering Chu Ci's question, he changed the subject and said:
"You don't need to worry about these things. The things you asked me to check have just been found out... Today, he just entered the capital and settled in an inn run by a merchant from Chu State... Now, he and his men are still in the same room. I haven't left that inn for half a step..."

"Oh~ It seems that he still needs to rest for a while to find out the truth of the information. It's good, but he has left some time for me to deal with him personally..." Chu Ci heard the news he wanted to hear Immediately, his eyes lit up, and after he said such a sentence thoughtfully, he changed the subject and said:

"However, brother, you are still so good at changing the subject..."

"Senior brother, you want to be a minister with a long history, I can understand... But, senior brother, sometimes, when doing things, you have to learn to be decisive..."

Xie Ruqing looked at her junior brother who was so ruthless that he almost felt inferior to him, and said immediately:

"It's still the same sentence... I know all these things in my heart. You don't need to worry about these things. You just need to finish things quickly and go back to Nanban quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams, and accidents happen..."

Chu Ci glanced helplessly at this senior brother, he never denied that his senior brother was very brave and resourceful, he was a rare genius, those swords, lights and swords in the court hall were nothing to his senior brother. It's a rare thing, but he always feels that his senior brother, sometimes, is too emotional. There are many things that he knows the truth, but he is unwilling to admit it...

If it were him... even if the person who wanted to harm him was his own brother, he would still be able to get that person down, make him regret it, and plot against him...

"Okay, okay~ Senior brother, it's good that you know what's in your heart..."

"I don't worry about your affairs. Brother, you don't have to worry about my affairs. You don't have to come here to stare at me every day. I'm not a lunatic. I can't do things like letting the whole city be buried with me~"

"If you want to worry, brother, you might as well worry about my good sister-in-law~"

Xie Ruqing suddenly heard the name of his wife, and suddenly felt a little surprised, and immediately asked:
"What did you hear here?"

Chu Ci waved his hand casually, and then said:

"It's nothing, it's just some gossip... They are all spreading, saying that my good sister-in-law is mean to my daughter-in-law, mean to my children and grandchildren, who loves my natal niece, cares for my natal niece in every way, pleases me, and follows me. Grandchildren who are not related by blood, let them go, lack of food and clothing... I guess, it is only spread in this small area, and it has not reached your ears, senior brother..."

"Although, this matter is just a nonsense, senior brother, you definitely won't believe it, and it won't hurt the relationship between your husband and wife..."

"But senior brother, you often say that my sister-in-law is still young and has a pure heart, and gossip is the most capable of hurting people invisible..."

"These words can't reach your sister-in-law's ears. I will let someone find out about this matter as soon as possible..."

"It's true that we need to find out sooner. The person who spread the message is too measured. When can't spread it well? You have to spread it when you are busy with work and can't care about gossip. You have to tell it to my sister-in-law. Before the upcoming birthday, it will be passed on, not too early or too late..."

Xie Ruqing heard Chu Ci's conjecture, and she felt a little more guessing in her heart... Maybe this matter is not just the gossip of ordinary people, but deliberately done by someone with a heart... in order to make a big splash on this matter in the future article……

Thinking of this, Xie Ruqing became a little more worried that Gu Ruosu, who was at home and didn't know these things at the moment, was almost eager to return to her heart and wanted to go back to comfort Gu Ruosu, but what he didn't know was that at this moment, Gu Ruosu had already listened to others. Overheard these gossip...

……

……
-
(I am your super cute dividing line~)

"Mrs. Tai, there are still quite a few people in the capital who believe these rumors, saying that you have treated Young Master Sun and Miss Sun badly... What should I do... In a few months, it will be your birthday... ... If you continue to say these words, it will definitely affect your birthday..." Cang Lan stood beside Gu Ruosu, watching Gu Ruosu who was still eating the delicious lychee heartlessly, said earnestly.

Gu Ruosu looked at the navy blue that was good for her, and Biyun, Molu and others who nodded along with him, then waved his hands indifferently and said:
"It's okay, let them talk about their mouths. I have never done these things. What am I afraid of? They should be the ones who are afraid. There is no evidence to prove that I am mean to my grandchildren and spread rumors outside every day. I'm not afraid of retribution... If you let me know who is behind the rumors and fanning the flames, I will send them to the Governor of Kyoto with a pleading, and send them to prison~"

"...But ma'am, people's words are scary after all. If these words reach the ears of the Duke, they are the grandchildren of the Duke...Will it be..." Canglan was trying to persuade him earnestly , but was directly interrupted by Gu Ruosu and said:
"I know what kind of person Xie Ruqing is. He is not the kind of person who listens and believes... Besides, relatively, he must know what kind of person I am. He has been married to me for many years. If you really knew me, you wouldn't take these gossips to heart..."

"Don't worry, I've lived with Xie Ruqing for so many years. When did I see that he didn't trust me? After all, we are husband and wife. If we didn't have basic trust in each other, how could we be with him in the first place?" together..."

Zanglan, Biyun and the others looked at each other, they were really helpless towards this big-hearted wife of their own, people's words were scary, people's words were scary... My wife really didn't understand these principles at all...

However, it is true that, as Madam said, the Grand Duke has a deep affection for his wife, and the two of them have gone through the hardest and most tormented time hand in hand. After such a hard time, how could it be possible that even the most basic trust of husband and wife is not there? no?
What's more... They are servants, they should do their jobs well, as long as no one dares to anger their wives, it's fine, their mouths grow on them, and they can say what they want, Just stop yelling in front of them...

……

……

Biyun, Canglan and the others stood behind Gu Ruosu, constantly doing ideological work for themselves, trying to convince themselves not to sigh and worry about their wife just because of these trivial things.

And just when Biyun, Canglan and the others finally wanted to convince themselves not to make a fuss out of a molehill, Gu Ruosu's sudden unintentional words gave them a new idea about this matter.

"By the way... who on earth spread the news...it couldn't be the people in our mansion who spread the news... I remember, knowing that I gave away the pair of jade braves in my warehouse in private There are very few people who press Shu'er's bed..."

"Forget it... Maybe I'm thinking too much..." Gu Ruosu suddenly thought of the gossip about the nose and eyes, and then remembered that he had indeed given a pair of precious jade Pixiu to him. Gu Shu's matter, so there is such a guess, but in the bottom of my heart, I feel that it is unlikely. After all, it is just a pair of jade braves. Although they are more precious, they are not the only good treasures in the world...

Besides, the Xie family is so rich, so they won't have any treasures they want. Why spread such rumors outside because of the ownership of the treasures in Gu Ruosu's private treasury?
However, Gu Ruosu didn't know that it was because of her words that Canglan and Biyun listened to them and did not say anything, and it was also for these girls to find out the person who spread rumors everywhere in the future and provided A very clear idea, of course, this is all for later.

At the moment, even though Canglan and Biyun had doubts about the people in the mansion, they still didn't take it to heart. On the contrary, they believed even more that maybe one of the servants in the family was bought by the enemy and knew about them. Some things about the family, and because the enemies thought that their Xie family was not pleasing to the eyes, but it was not easy to arrange for Xie Ruqing, who had just made a contribution, to deflect the flames of war on Gu Ruosu, so that Gu Ruosu suffered this innocent disaster for no reason...

……

……

Gu Ruosu, Canglan Biyun and others deduced countless possibilities in their own minds because of this matter, but in the end they still didn't get an answer that they thought was very reasonable. I ran in with thanks!

"Grandma! Are you all right!"

Xie Yi took Xie Yihua and ran to Gu Ruosu's side in a swift manner, held Gu Ruosu's hand tightly, and asked earnestly.

"Ah... I'm fine..."

"Grandma, as long as you're fine! We all know what was said outside!"

"Grandma, don't be sad, those people are talking nonsense! Grandma, you are the best grandma!"

"We will always be by your side, Grandma!"

"..."

"..."

Xie Yi and Xie Yihua didn't give Gu Ruosu a chance to speak at all, and pulled Gu Ruosu to say comforting words, until Gu Ruosu couldn't bear it and said:
"You all stop!"

This made the two little girls quiet for a while...
