Chapter 132

When Ruan He's voice fell, all the eyes around him immediately looked over at the same time, and the people present had different expressions.

She stood calmly, looked at Mrs. Zhizhou without any fear, and raised the corners of her lips slightly, as if she was just saying casually.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. She is an exiled prisoner. So what if she offends Mrs. Zhizhou? Can Mrs. Cui be dragged out and chopped in public?

Not only the Cui family were shocked, but even the group of officials were stunned, and they could hardly suppress the smiles on their lips.

While others didn't notice, Wang Xiaoer secretly gave Ruan He a thumbs up. This is so courageous!

Mrs. Cui never expected that among this group of low-status people, there would be anyone who dared to ask her to apologize.

It's ridiculous to say such arrogant words!
Before Ms. Cui could respond, the old woman beside her suddenly opened her eyes with anger. She turned her head, her wrinkled old face full of anger, and was about to see who this reckless person was!

She put on a ferocious expression and stared at Ruan He. When she saw that she was a young woman, she even showed disdain. She wished she could scold Ruan He for her master!
"Bold! How dare you disrespect Mrs. Zhizhou!"

The old grandma's face was tense, her brows were furrowed, and she scolded fiercely.

Ruan He was not intimidated by her at all, and still stood there calmly and contentedly, and then said: "It is because I respect Mrs. Zhizhou that I feel that she is not a troublesome or unreasonable person. Since Mrs.'s property If it is lost, we can search our yard thoroughly, then... Mr. Li's prisoner is lost, can we search Zhizhou Capital?"

Such a big hat was placed on Mrs. Cui's head, which made her unable to refute.

Mrs. Cui was stunned by her few words, and she didn't react for a moment. When she came back to her senses, her heart became angry, and she suddenly remembered: She is a wife of Zhizhou, why should she listen here for nothing? She sophistry.

"No. What is my identity, and what are your identities? Prisoners? Where do we know where the prisoners come from in the capital? Apart from you."

Ms. Cui rejected Ruan He's words without hesitation and snorted coldly, her expression showing some disdain.

The head guard on the side looked a little more nervous than Cui. His eyebrows narrowed and he glared angrily. He stared at Ruan He and said something he wanted to conceal!
"Bold! You are a little girl. What evidence do you have to prove that a prisoner has entered our Zhizhou mansion!? You are full of nonsense and false accusations. Be careful, our Lord Zhizhou is not polite!"

Ms. Cui glanced at the loudly shouting head guard with some displeasure. The head guard realized that he had stolen the lady's talk, and quickly lowered his head, not daring to say another word.

They all knew very well that their eldest uncle, Marquis Yong'an, had his house confiscated and was exiled, and his family members were inevitably exiled. The eldest lady and her two daughters living in the house were naturally prisoners.

Ms. Cui also knew this, but she really didn't like the mother and daughter, especially Ms. Zhang's little daughter who looked pretty, and the master liked this child very much.

No matter how unhappy she was on weekdays, she could only let the master keep the mother and daughter in the house to raise them, and she didn't know how long they would have to raise them...

Zhang Zhizhou also knew his wife's temperament, so he suppressed the incident deliberately and specifically warned people not to talk nonsense in front of his wife.

If Mrs. Cui hadn't overheard the discussion among her servants, she wouldn't even have known that the mother and daughter lived in their Zhizhou Mansion.

She originally planned to throw away her hands and leave, but then she suddenly changed her mind.

Ms. Cui raised her head, with unusual thoughts flashing in her eyes. She raised her voice, looked at Ruan He, and deliberately asked: "You said you saw the prisoner in our Zhizhou Prefecture. Where is the prisoner now? Can you see clearly? Did you?" Ruan He was just looking for trouble to vent his anger, but he never thought that Mrs. Zhizhou would follow his words.

No matter how you think about harboring prisoners in the mansion, it is not something that a Zhizhou wife would acquiesce to.

unless……

Ruan He looked at Mrs. Cui in surprise, and saw that her expression was a little strange. She seemed to be less angry than before, and she vaguely understood something.

It seems that Ms. Cui is not satisfied with the mother and daughter, or has some conflict.

Thinking of this, Ruan He immediately followed Mrs. Zhizhou's words, raised his hand, pointed in a direction, raised his voice seriously, and said: "Madam, I saw our prisoner went to one of the Can you take us to have a look at the yard? As you know, Master Zhizhou promised us, Master Li, to help search for the whereabouts of the prisoner."

Li Jiang's expression suddenly changed, and he vaguely felt that Ruan He must know something, so he could only stand quietly and listen.

No matter what he thought, the only prisoners hiding in Zhizhou Mansion were Zhang's mother and daughter. If the mother and daughter could be captured for this, it would definitely be a good thing, and he didn't need to discuss it with Zhang Zhizhou.

When the old lady heard this, her expression changed slightly, and she leaned down, about to say a few words of persuasion.

"Madam... do you really want... Lord Zhizhou..."

Not only the old lady, but Chad, the head guard on the other side, also looked a little panicked when he heard this!

Lord Zhizhou has told you not to let this group of officials enter the eldest lady’s yard!
I don’t know how this woman knew this!
Ignoring the persuasion of the people around her, Ms. Cui put on a serious look, stared at Ruan He carefully, and nodded in agreement after a moment.

Since it was the madam's decision, none of the guards could stop them. They could only watch the large group of people heading straight towards the yard where the eldest lady was.

Perhaps it was a deliberate arrangement, but the courtyard where Zhang's mother and daughter lived was separated by more than half of the Zhizhou Prefecture from the courtyard where the officials lived.

A group of them walked for a long time before they saw the courtyard from a distance.

"It's in that courtyard." Ruan He raised his finger and pointed, and said calmly.

"Whose yard is this?" Ms. Cui looked at the sad old woman beside her and asked deliberately.

"That... that's..." The old grandma stumbled and was speechless. In the eyes of the madam, she sighed and said: "Madam, that is the eldest lady's yard. Master Zhizhou is afraid that you will be angry... Don’t let me mention this to you.”

The old grandma's words seemed to directly confirm Ruan He's words, and the group of officials all showed surprised looks.

Unexpectedly, the prisoner they had been looking for lived with them in Zhizhou Mansion, and it took no effort to find him.
