Chapter 240 The Dowry
"My lord." Cui Hu came to Li Yuanbo's side and said, "Do you need a villain to continue to follow Mr. Cheng?"

Li Yuanbo then withdrew his gaze from staring at Cheng Ruoyun, waved his hand, and said, "No need. Last time, what happened to my investigation?"

"Concubine Hua Gui and the others are hiding very deeply, it is estimated that it will be difficult to investigate."

Li Yuanbo smiled, his eyes fell on the envelope on the table, and said: "Then don't investigate Concubine Hua, and investigate what the prince is doing recently. I bet that you will investigate, and there is absolutely no trust." Come up in detail."

"However, our in-depth investigations are all elites. We are targeting the activities of the Hua family and others in the officialdom. How can it be inferior to the news of the eldest son of the Cheng family?" The prince is obvious to all, how can he be inferior to a merchant.

Li Yuanbo rubbed his chin with his hands, and said: "Maybe it's because of this, Wanshizhi can investigate officials and people, but don't forget, businessmen are the most sensitive, and they are also the middleman between officials and people. Cheng Ruoyun sees many things better than others." We know better. Well, the person who investigated Cheng Ruoyun can also be taken back. He probably has already found out. Let Shibugui put the rest of the manpower on the prince. At least I can’t let this king leave Cheng Ruoyun too much, right? "

"Yes." Cui Hu nodded and walked out of the courtyard.

After Li Yuanbo was the only one left in the courtyard, Li Yuanbo looked at the distant scenery and sighed: "Cheng Ruoyun, Cheng Ruoyun, if you hadn't quit voluntarily, I really don't have much chance of winning."

At this time, Li Yuanbo still somewhat sympathized with those who were rivals with Cheng Ruoyun.

How terrifying it is to have such an opponent.

on the carriage.

The boy raised the curtain of the car and asked, "My lord, are we still going to the store?"

Cheng Ruoyun smiled slightly and said: "Of course I won't go, let's go back to the mansion first, I'm afraid there is something big waiting for me there."

"Ah? What's the big deal?" The boy rubbed his head, didn't everything go well when he just left the house?What could happen in less than an hour?
"You'll know when you go. Let's go." Cheng Ruoyun said with a smile.

"Okay, my lord."

White House
A middle-aged old woman led two people to the flower hall.

Mrs. Zheng recognized that this old nanny was Nanny Jiang who was serving by Madam Cheng's side.

As soon as Mrs. Zheng brought Bai Mingzhu into the room behind the flower hall, she saw Mrs. Cheng sitting on the soft bed in the middle, looking at Mrs. Mrs. Zheng and her daughter.

Perhaps it was because the Zheng mother and daughter had bad intentions in their hearts, so they felt that although the old lady Cheng was old, her eyes were shining brightly, as if she wanted to see through the two people's thoughts.

Mrs. Zheng lowered her head in a hurry, not daring to meet the old lady in the seat.

"Old lady Cheng, today I brought Mingzhu to greet you." After finishing speaking, Mrs. Zheng hurriedly patted Bai Mingzhu's hand.Then Bai Mingzhu suddenly bowed and said, "Grandma Cheng is well." Greetings.

Mrs. Cheng looked at the mother and daughter who came here today, and said: "Sit down, they are all from the Bai family, so don't see outsiders. By the way, Shuangshuang? Why didn't you come with you?" .”

In that Zheng's heart, she didn't care about resenting Bai Shuangshuang, she just thought about how to find an excuse to let Bai Mingzhu go to find Cheng Ruohan, and said: "Shuangshuang went to the palace today to help Concubine Hua plant flowers. They probably won't come back for a while."

"That's it." Mrs. Cheng nodded, but said nothing. Instead, she lifted the teacup on the table beside her and took a sip.

Such a scene was a bit embarrassing immediately, but who is Mrs. Zheng? After all, she is also a lady from an official family, so it is easy to deal with such a scene. She rolled her eyes and walked towards the chair beside her. When Bai Mingzhu followed up and wanted to sit down, she patted Bai Mingzhu's hand on purpose and made a crisp sound. After attracting the attention of the old lady Cheng and Mother Jiang, she raised her voice and said, "Mingzhu Ah, go and play with Ruohan, you haven't seen your elder brother Ruohan for a long time, old lady Cheng and I want to discuss about your sister's life, you don't sound good here."

Bai Mingzhu answered absently, and walked out of the room without thinking about saying goodbye to Mrs. Cheng.

The original old lady Cheng didn't want to agree, after all, what's the matter with the lonely man and widow, although this kind of behavior was not once or twice before.But after hearing what Zheng said, after discussing about Bai Shuangshuang, she didn't stop her any longer, allowing Bai Mingzhu to walk out of the room.

Mrs. Zheng was sitting on her seat, peeking at Bai Mingzhu from the corner of her eye. When Bai Mingzhu walked to the door, she turned her head and glanced at Mrs. Zheng who was gesticulating with her, before she walked away quickly with her head down.

The old lady of the Cheng family followed Zheng's gaze, only seeing the corner of Bai Mingzhu's leaving clothes.Mrs. Cheng looked away. She was old but her heart was not old. She could also vaguely see that there was something strange about Mrs. Zheng and Bai Mingzhu's visit today.But she didn't say it, not because she wanted to take into account the face of the two families, but because of Cheng Ruoyun, if this was really Cheng Ruoyun's choice, she would not interfere, it was just a pity.

Mrs. Cheng withdrew her visiting gaze, and said to Mrs. Zheng, "I don't know what Mrs. Bai is here today, what do you want to say to me?"

Mrs. Zheng hurriedly smiled and said: "Old lady, it's not because she was ill yesterday that she didn't come in to see your old man. This time, she specially brought a good bird's nest for your old man."

The old lady Cheng waved her hand and said: "No need, our Cheng family has never been short of good bird's nest ginseng, so you can take it back. If you are really embarrassed, you can take it home and stew it for Shuangshuang to eat, and treat it as me. Got your heart."

Zheng's face froze with a smile, but he continued: "That's right, the Cheng family has businesses all over the place, so naturally I don't like this kind of thing."

"It's good that you know." Mrs. Cheng was not polite, and said, "Didn't you say that you want to discuss Shuangshuang's lifelong event with me, what is it?"

Mrs. Zheng smiled awkwardly, suppressed the anger in her heart, and said: "Didn't the emperor marry Shuangshuang and the young master of the Cheng family before? Didn't I come here to discuss and need something? John also has a marriage certificate, so naturally we will handle it together, and the next step will be simple."

Mrs. Cheng squinted at Mrs. Zheng, looking at Mrs. Zheng, she looked like she had a ghost in her heart, but she was just looking for a topic. If Mrs. Cheng couldn't understand it, she didn't say anything. He was extremely contemptuous, and at the same time, he felt extremely guilty towards Cheng Ruoyun.

"You're right. One is a marriage bestowed by the gods, and the other is a marriage certificate. Anyway, both of them are going to marry Cheng's family. But, Mrs. Bai, there is a saying here, even if it is not appropriate to say it, it must be said. But it has something to do with the ancestral training of our Cheng family." Mrs. Cheng said.
