Leng Wang Yu's Wife: The Concubine of the Black Belly

Chapter 116 No Problem
"Ordinary people?" Rong Ziqing didn't seem to understand, so he asked.

"Master Rong, although the business of Ningxiang Pavilion has decreased a lot since the incident caused by the mysterious woman, there is still business. These days, my subordinates followed Lord Bai to guard and investigate here, and found that the people who come here every day are people who often appear , there is nothing wrong with it."

The subordinate replied to Rong Ziqing.

"Then what kind of dresses are the women who appear recently?" Rong Ziqing asked again, he really wanted to know if they were the two official ladies he saw today.

"Usually they are women from official families, and there are maidservants around them." The subordinate's answer seemed to rekindle Rong Ziqing's hope, but the next sentence drove Rong Ziqing into boundless despair.

"The subordinates have observed carefully, and they are all Xiaojiabiyu."

"Xiaojiabiyu?" Rong Ziqing had some questions as he repeated these four words.

Because what he saw was dressed like a lady from a famous family, not Xiaojia Biyu, the daughter of an ordinary official.Look at the time, the difference is not long.He would not go back and change his clothes on purpose, so the Xiaojia Biyu who came to Ningxiang Pavilion would not be the famous lady whom he saw in the garden.

However, Rong Ziqing, who was relatively delicate in mind, discovered that Xiaojia Biyu shouldn't be the one who can afford the items of Ningxiang Pavilion.

Ningxiang Pavilion is still a place with high consumption, and it is not so expensive compared to ordinary rouge shops or medicine shops.Although it is not worth a thousand dollars, it is definitely not something that ordinary officials can buy.

The items that were limited to the Ningxiang Pavilion in the past are gone now, but they still have the price they deserve.

After getting along with Hua'er, Rong Ziqing also heard some trivial things about Ningxiang Pavilion, so he knew that the items in Ningxiang Pavilion were definitely beyond the affordability of ordinary official girls.

"Yes, Master Rong." The affirmation of his subordinates made Rong Ziqing feel that there were too many problems.

"Are ordinary girls buying these lately?" Rong Ziqing asked Bai Xiu, and Bai Xiu's affirmative answer made Rong Ziqing feel that something was wrong.

"My lord Rong, I originally wanted to report this matter to the emperor and empress today. However, Qiutang's disappearance disrupted my thoughts. That's how it is. Recently, my subordinates and I have been observing here for many days, and I found that it is true that recently The purchase rate of Ningxiang Pavilion is all bought by those young ladies, not any famous lady, everyone's daughter."

"I also find this very strange, because those ladies have never appeared in Ningxiang Pavilion before, because they don't have a lot of money. But recently they have become the source of income of Ningxiang Pavilion, which makes us feel very strange." Bai Xiu thought I answered my previous questions.

"Neither the Empress nor Princess Rong has lowered the price, so how come those ladies who can't afford expensive things suddenly come to the Ningxiang Pavilion with money. What's more, there are rumors that the ointment and rouge in the Ningxiang Pavilion contain poisonous ingredients , so no one should buy it, and they are all girls from a small family who have never been here before."

What Bai Xiu said was right, and Rong Ziqing's expression also changed a little.

"These women are all problematic. They didn't have the financial ability before, and they shouldn't have it now." What Rong Ziqing said was exactly what Bai Xiu thought.

"I think so too." Bai Xiu replied.

"Then are these women still in the Ningxiang Pavilion today?" Rong Ziqing asked Bai Xiu's subordinates, he wanted to know who are currently in the Ningxiang Pavilion?
"According to the current time, a few have come, but two women have not come today." The honest answer of his subordinates made Rong Ziqing feel that there was something wrong.

According to the hour?It seems that these women still have a certain amount of time every time they come to Ningxiang Pavilion.This is another new problem. It's okay if it happens occasionally, but it's a problem every time.

According to the subordinate's words, according to the time, it seems that they all come according to the time.

"Is this the hour every day?" Rong Ziqing still asked, wanting to make sure.

"Yes, Master Rong, I come here every day for dinner." The accurate answer of his subordinates told Rong Ziqing that there was indeed a problem with Ningxiang Pavilion, and there were many problems.

"How many people are in Ningxiang Pavilion now?" Bai Xiu asked, if there are still those people, then you have to observe carefully.

"My lord, it's still those young ladies we see every day." The subordinate's answer still made everything more complicated.

"Master Bai, are those the same people you see every day? Are they all the same?" Rong Ziqing didn't ask that subordinate anymore, because looking at Bai Xiu's face, he felt that Bai Xiu knew what was going on these days .

"Master Rong, we have seen the same people shopping every day recently. I wanted to wait until today to see, and if it is the same, I will report it to the emperor and empress." Bai Xiu was not prepared not to tell Su Changmo and Sheng Wanyu, but just briefly delay for time.

He wanted to see what was wrong with these small household daughters.

Rong Ziqing seemed to think it was normal, so he didn't ask any more questions, but said, "Master Bai, have these people found any problems?"

"Master Rong, I sent someone to investigate those young ladies. They are all daughters of small families in the capital. Their fathers have no relationship with each other, and they are just ordinary officials in the capital."

"Then why is it such a coincidence that we came to Ningxiang Pavilion together at this hour?" Rong Ziqing asked Bai Xiu, hoping to get a reasonable answer.

"I've checked, they are all good friends, so they will make an appointment to come to Ningxiang Pavilion to pick up items. As for the time, it seems that one of them likes to go out for a walk before dinner, and the others feel that there is no problem, so they meet up. "

This was Bai Xiu's answer. Rong Ziqing believed that Bai Xiu would not hide anything, because they were all followers of Su Changmo for many days.Although I do different things from him, but the relationship is also very good.The reason why it is called such an outsider is because each other is a person who abides by etiquette.

It doesn't matter how you call them, what matters is that the relationship between them is very good.So even if there was no disappearance of Qiutang at that time, Bai Xiu would naturally pursue it diligently. He must have his reasons for not reporting to Su Changmo and Sheng Wanyu immediately.

So Rong Ziqing would not ask Bai Xiu why he didn't report directly to Su Changmo and Sheng Wanyu, because Bai Xiu must have his reasons for doing so.

"Master Bai, do those little ladies have any other questions?" Rong Ziqing asked.

"Master Rong, I sent someone to check on them. They are all the daughters of petty officials. There is no other problem. These ladies usually stay in the boudoir. They don't have any special hobbies, and they rarely get along with others."

Bai Xiu thought about the reports from his subordinates yesterday, those girls were all ordinary girls, there was no other problem.Although some felt that something was wrong, after several waves of people went, the result was the same when they came back, so Bai Xiucai had no choice but to think that nothing happened.

"Master Bai, do you know which family they are from?" Rong Ziqing asked again.

"Master Rong, I have checked that they are all the daughters of small officials scattered throughout the capital, and they do not occupy the positions of high officials in the capital." This was the answer given by Bai Xiu, and Rong Ziqing felt that things had become more complicated some.

Because if there is no intersection at all, then these young ladies don't seem to have any problems, they just simply meet to come to Ningxiang Pavilion.

"If that's the case, it seems that it's just a friendly relationship, so we came to the Ningxiang Pavilion together. But if this is the case, then our clues about the daughters of those small households will be blurred."

Rong Ziqing felt a little tired, one clue after another kept coming out, but they kept encountering obstacles, as if every time we wanted to track down the next question, this clue would disappear.

We follow the trail, but see no light, because the trail breaks down when we try to follow it deeper.

Just like our current situation, we thought we could find clues about their relationship and other aspects through those little girls, but we didn't want to find out that they were just ordinary girls, nothing special.

"Although I have checked every woman before. But I have never gone to the garden with Mr. Rong to check today, so I have never seen the face of the woman who talked to me. I don't know if it is one of the small households who come here every day to buy rouge and ointment. Female."

Bai Xiu seemed suspicious of the remaining two women who hadn't arrived yet, and he really wanted to know if they were the ladies from a famous family that Rong Ziqing said.

"If it is just based on appearance and makeup, it seems that they are not the ladies I have seen. But if they match in appearance, then the two women are still suspicious."

Rong Ziqing also seemed to be curious about the identities of the two women, perhaps to satisfy his inner desire for clues.

"What Master Rong said is right. Dresses and clothes can be modified. But it is impossible to change the appearance in a short period of time, so we only need to wait for the appearance of these two women, and perhaps we can know whether they are the same as today. The young lady that the adults have seen."

Bai Xiu was also looking forward to the appearance of these two girls, because if they were the ones talking about Qiutang's disappearance, he might be able to learn something from them.

Rong Ziqing said to Bai Xiu's subordinates: "Those girls are in the Ningxiang Pavilion?" Judging by Rong Ziqing's expression, he should enter the Ningxiang Pavilion to check.

"Yes, Master Rong. They are all picking the right rouge and ointment as usual to beautify their appearance." Bai Xiu's subordinates answered Rong Ziqing, and also told Bai Xiu.

According to what they have found so far, those women did not behave strangely, they were just picking items that suited them.

Recalling what Bai Xiu said to himself that day: "Xu Yun, you should suspend what you are doing recently, I have a very urgent matter for you to take care of."

Bai Xiu said to his subordinate Xu Xuan.Like Bai Xiu, Xu Xuan is a calm and quiet person.

The acquaintance between Xu Huan and Bai Xiu was about the same as when Bai Xiu followed Su Changmo. Xu Huan was not the son of an official family, nor was he from a famous family, but just an ordinary person.

When he first met Xu Yun, Bai Xiu only felt that this person was stable and decisive, and he was a person who could be reused.Bai Xiu once recommended him to Su Changmo, and Su Changmo also liked Xu Xuan very much, and wanted to arrange his position.

But Xu Yun said that he was willing to work with Bai Xiu instead of going to other places to serve as a high official.

Bai Xiu once asked Xu Yun why he didn't want to take up the position if he could win Su Changmo's favor. With his ability, he is not inferior to him, and he can completely stand shoulder to shoulder with him. difference.

But Xu Yun's answer was that he was willing to be a subordinate next to Bai Xiu, willing to follow Bai Xiu to do things in the capital, instead of going to other places to be an official.
