Rudonghai

Chapter 169
After listening, Gu Yunxiao slowly lowered his head.She understood that she had to close the small door because of Wen Ruqi.

Wen Ruqi knew about this small door, so she would try her best to come to Xiao's residence.It's locked, it's good for everyone.

Seeing that she was a little disappointed, Xiao Xilin quietly held Gu Yunxiao's catkin, and said softly, "Although it's only ten days away, I can't wait. Kui'er was fed by a girl recently, Xiao Yi It doesn’t even want to eat the jerky made by itself, and hates it very much. Let Kui Er accompany the girl these few days, and look at it every day, and the girl will not forget me.”

Gu Yunxiao nodded lightly, even if she forgot anyone, she would never forget Xiao Xilin.

She hesitated for a moment, finally shook Xiao Xilin's big hand lightly, and quickly let go, and went back to Zhen Guohou's mansion through the small gate.

Xiao Xilin stood in place until Gu Yunxiao's figure disappeared into the small door. After a long time, he moved, and his lips moved slightly: "Xiao Jiawei is hiding around the courtyard. Before getting married, the third girl of the Gu family must be safe and sound, understand Yet?"

The bushes behind him trembled slightly, like a breeze blowing, and there was no sound in the blink of an eye.

"In addition, send someone to rush to Luoshui to see whether Miss Wen is telling the truth or a lie." From what he heard, it was half-truth and half-false, not even much of the truth.

Xiao Xilin didn't have a good impression of Wen Ruqi who was hypocritical and pretending in front of her.He can't rest assured that such a girl is in the Hou Mansion.

After all, Gu Yunxiao went to Baiyun Temple on a temporary basis, and he was assured that he would never betray himself.So where exactly did Wen Ruqi get this news, how much eyeliner did she cast around the Zhenguohou's mansion, and how long did she plan?
Just thinking about it made Xiao Xilin shudder.If Wen Ruqi attacked Gu Yunxiao in Baiyun Temple, she would not be prepared. Even with Autumn Red and Autumn Green by her side and Xiao Jiawei hiding in the dark, she might not be able to make this girl unharmed.

Fortunately, Wen Ruqi only had the intention of probing, and had no intention of causing harm.

Just as Xiao Xilin was thinking about it, Xiao presented a palm-sized brocade box: "This is left by Miss Wen, and she said it would be dedicated to the young master, and it will also contain what the young master wants."

He glanced back, not interested, but saw the pattern on the corner of the brocade box, but narrowed his eyes so familiarly: "Where have I seen this pattern..."

Xiao Xilin quickly remembered that this pattern was not Sanskrit, it was carved on the wooden sign inside Ji Jiaqian's golden lock!
He only saw it once, but he still remembers it deeply.

Xiao nodded: "Mr. Hui, this is exactly what is engraved on the wooden sign that this subordinate once took back. It seems that Miss Wen knows about the wooden sign?"

This is strange, he thought that no one knew about this matter except Ji Keran and his son.

"Open it and take a look," Xiao Xilin made a quick decision, and he wanted to see what Wen Ruqi was selling in the gourd!
"My lord, the brocade box is locked. It's very delicate. I'm afraid you need a key to open it." Xiao Yi examined it carefully, only to find that the brocade box was not as ordinary as he imagined. Can not be broken open.

Only now did Xiao Xilin get a little interested: "With the Sanskrit, Miss Wen knows that I have seen that wooden sign. The brocade box that cannot be broken, is this forcing me to take the initiative to meet her?"

It's a bit scheming, but he doesn't like being led by the nose, especially a girl with a deep city.

Xiao Xilin was not wrong to see Gu Yunxiao's momentary sadness just now. She actually still cared about Wen Ruqi, a so-called cousin who was married with her fingertips.

He liked that Gu Yunxiao cared, but he didn't like to see her showing such an unhappy expression.

"Send the brocade box back. Since Ms. Wen is not sincere, we don't have to worry. I know whether this thing will be seen or not." Ji Keran has already asked the location, as long as he finds what he wants in front of him. Yes, Xiao Xilin can get his wish, why need a girl to tell him what to do?
Compared to him, Wen Ruqi is probably more anxious.I took out the chips, but the bait didn't take the bait, wouldn't it make the fisherman anxious?

Wen Ruqi was sent to the Hou's Mansion full of ambition, she didn't have any dissatisfaction on her face, instead she lowered her head and lowered her eyes, not looking around like a bumpkin.

Xueyan was amazed. If she was born and raised in a place like Luoshui, she didn't look surprised when she walked around the residence of the Marquis of Zhenguo, but calmed down very much, which is really rare.

It's just that, Xueyan was even more jealous.As Madam said, this Wen Ruqi is really not a simple character.

"This is the Ruyi building that Madam told me. If Miss Wen is missing something, just tell the woman waiting in front of the yard. The warehouse in this mansion is in a mess. Miss Wen should rest in the yard for the time being, otherwise she will be knocked down." If you touch it, it will embarrass Madam."

Wen Ruqi responded softly: "Madam is very grateful for taking me in, so naturally I dare not rush around and disturb Madam."

Xueyan's meaning is clear enough, let her stay in the yard obediently, it is best not to go out without the permission of Mrs. Zhen Guohou, otherwise don't blame them for being rude.

Wen Ruqi sneered in her heart, anyway, the purpose of her coming has been achieved, the brocade box has been delivered to Xiao Xilin's hands, I don't know how surprised he will show, and when will he call her over, so that she can Goodbye to this master Taifu?
Just thinking about it, she couldn't help but bend the corners of her mouth slightly.

When the Xiao Mansion sent someone to bring the brocade box back, Wen Ruqi was completely dumbfounded.

Moon Shadow carefully hid the brocade box, and asked in a low voice: "Girl, what should I do now?"

Wen Ruqi's complexion changed, she bit her nails and said indignantly, "Could it be that Master Tai Tuo didn't know about it at all, so he refused such a great good deed?"

"Do you want to reveal a little bit to Master Tai Tu, otherwise how will you know the girl's kindness?" Yueying persuaded in a low voice, and Wen Ruqi's expression eased.

"Reveal? How can I disclose it, and tell him directly? Such a thing is too ridiculous, and the Taifu may not believe it." What she didn't say was that if one of them made trouble, not only would she not get any benefits, but she would startle the snake and cause trouble. All in trouble.

Here is the foot of the emperor, who knows where the eyeliner of the emperor is?
For the emperor, this was the bottom line that could not be touched casually. Wen Ruqi knew the danger before coming to Beijing, but she also understood that good and bad depend on each other, so she was more careful.

"Prepare the carriage, let's go to Gu's Mansion." Although Mrs. Zhen Guohou restrained her feet, Wen Ruqi was not allowed to leave the Hou's Mansion.

But if she wanted to leave, she naturally had a way: "I will go to see Mrs. Zhen Guohou first, and say that my elders have some relationship with Mrs. Gu, and I should pay a visit after coming to Beijing."

After Madam Zhen Guohou heard about it, she raised her eyebrows in surprise: "I don't know, what is the relationship between the Wen family and the Ji family?"

Facing her questioning gaze, Wen Ruqi said calmly, "It's not my mother, but grandma. My mother only found out later that she was not born to my aunt, but her biological mother went to another place and met by chance in Luoshui. I know my own life experience."

Mrs. Zhen Guohou is funny. At the beginning, the old lady took over the girl as a foster daughter because she was a relative who gave birth to Wufu.Now Wen Ruqi said that her biological mother was not from the Wen family, and that her grandmother was someone else, which is really ridiculous.

"How did your mother recognize that she was the biological mother? It's really unbelievable."

Knowing that she didn't believe it, Wen Ruqi had no choice but to explain: "My aunt told my mother this secret before she died. The two families are close friends, and my grandmother left temporarily because of unavoidable reasons, but she didn't expect to encounter difficulties in the middle. It was only after a year that he got away and found it.”

"It's also fate. Don't Madam think it's a good thing for mother and daughter to meet each other at last? It's just that grandma once met Madam Gu. Thanks to Madam Gu's help, she was able to escape from the predicament. I am very grateful. It's a pity that my body is weak. , I went there not long after I met my mother. My mother thought that I was a benefactor after all, so she asked me to visit after I went to Beijing, and paid all the courtesy."

Wen Ruqi spoke clearly and logically, and Mrs. Zhen Guohou couldn't stop her: "You are not familiar with Beijing, so let Xueyan lead the way and follow you, so as not to offend the nobleman."

There are noble people everywhere in Beijing, and Wen Ruqi also knew that Mrs. Zhen Guohou couldn't just let her out like this, so she readily agreed.

With Xueyan here, it represents the identity of Zhen Guohou, and it can save troubles, so why not do it?
Seeing that she agreed happily, maybe she really went to Gu's mansion to visit Ji Jiaqian to express her gratitude.

It's just that Mrs. Zhen Guohou had doubts in her heart. As soon as Wen Ruqi left, she immediately asked her mother-in-law to go to the next door to inform Xiao Xilin.

Xiao Xilin only asked the mother-in-law to bring back the word "rest assured", and she simply ignored it.

Gu Yunxiao's wedding dress and dowry were not fully prepared, and time waited for no one, so Mrs. Zhen Guohou didn't have the heart to remember Wen Ruqi anymore.

When Wen Ruqi came to visit, Ji Jiaqian felt strange: "Wen family, where did the Wen family come from? Is it still my old acquaintance?"

Liusu followed her for the longest time, and she didn't have a clue: "Mrs. Hui, the nobleman surnamed Wen in Beijing is only Marquis Zhen Guo."

Ji Jiaqian raised her eyebrows, Mrs. Zhen Guohou had torn faces with her and never had any contact with her again.

Why did the people in her house come to her?

"Then let her in, and I'll see who it is."

Wen Ruqi came in, and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "The little girl has met Mrs. Gu."

"Get up, you look kind, why do you want to see me?" Ji Jiaqian looked carefully, but felt that Wen Ruqi's eyes were familiar, but she couldn't remember anything.

Wen Ruqi looked around and said in a low voice, "The little girl has a private matter and wants to have a private chat with Mrs. Gu."

"Is there anything that can't be said face to face?" Ji Jiaqian was full of doubts. After all, she still sent the other servants, leaving only tassels: "She is my confidant, so it's okay. Miss Wen can speak now, right?"

Seeing this, Wen Ruqi also sent Yue Ying out: "Madam Gu, the little girl's grandmother was once Madam's nanny, Madam, how did Madam remember?"

"Nurse?" Ji Jiaqian was taken aback, not expecting this.It's just that she frowned and thought, the nanny's figure was very blurry, and she was indeed somewhat similar to Wen Ruqi: "What if I remember, so what if I don't remember. It's been so many years, I remember that the nanny was sent out of the Hou's residence within a few years .”
