"Zisu," Jiang Ruan nodded towards the two boxes: "Except for what mother left, all other things should be pawned at the pawnshop, and it's best to convert them all into bank notes."

"Girl," Zisu was a little surprised, "Is it all? Those are all yours..."

"Used things, what do you want them to do." Jiang Ruan sat down at the table and slowly poured himself a cup of tea. Since Zhang Lan's accident, the maids in Zhuangzi were very afraid of Jiang Ruan, and all the teas they brought were new teas of this year.

"You should keep a few clothes," Zisu said, "we will be returning to Beijing in a few days, so it's not good to dress like this."

"If I don't dress like this, why would my father love me?" Jiang Ruan said lightly, her face was still expressionless, but her eyes were a little cold.

Zisu was at a loss for words for a moment, but she didn't know how to answer. Just as he was hesitating, Lian Qiao pushed the door in with a basket of washed fruits and vegetables, listened to the conversation between the two, and then said: "That's right, if you wear the same clothes as before, it's not because you only care about your appearance and don't care about your appearance. Is it uncomfortable for the girl to hold on? Besides, Zisu, don’t forget that girls can’t wear those clothes anymore, didn’t you see that Chen Fang didn’t even wear them.”

Zisu thought so, so she didn't hesitate any more, squatted down and carefully picked out Zhao Mei's belongings, and ordered several people to carry out the remaining things, and went to a pawn shop for money.

After Zisu left, Lianqiao put the previous book into the box, while hesitantly said: "Girl, this servant is outside today and heard something."

Before he could finish speaking, the door was kicked open with a "bang", and Chen Fang came in aggressively from outside, and asked, "Miss, why are you doing this to my mother?"

"Presumptuous!" Lian Qiao stood up and said angrily, "Who gave you the courage to yell in front of the girl!"

Chen Fang did not show any weakness, and said loudly: "Miss, I respect you as a miss. During the few years you have been in Zhuangzi, my mother has provided for you well. Without my mother, how would you be where you are today! My brother I also treat you well, why did you frame him and put him in prison, miss, you are so cruel!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lian Qiao couldn't help being angry: "What kind of frame is it? It's Chen Zhao's own fault, and he wants to frame our girl!"

"Lianqiao," Jiang Ruan stopped her, looked at Chen Fang, and suddenly smiled: "Miss Chen, did you make a mistake, wasn't it you who put Chen Zhao in jail?"

"What do you mean?" Chen Fang frowned.

"Miss Chen, have you forgotten the beauty under the moon that you invited me to see more than ten years ago." Jiang Ruan picked up the teacup, blowing away the tea foam floating on it, and took a sip: "Speaking of it , your elder brother and Chunying became acquainted, and it was the beauty under the moon that started."

At first, Chen Fang didn't understand what Jiang Ruan was talking about, but when she heard the last sentence, she was startled and said in disbelief, "You did it on purpose? Is it your fault that Chunying went there?"

"What do you think?" Jiang Ruan asked back.

"Impossible, this is impossible..." Chen Fang looked at her with some horror: "Even if you lured Chun Ying over, how would you know what happened afterwards? ..."

"Maybe I'm a monster? You hurt your brother, your brother hurt your mother, so you can't blame me." Jiang Ruan smiled at her, and the hot tea made her lips bright red, black hair and snow skin , The smile on the lips is really charming. Chen Fang took a few steps back, shook her head and said, "No, I don't believe it, no..." It seemed that she was so frightened that she turned around and ran away.

Lian Qiao frowned and said, "Why are you crazy? What she eats and wears on weekdays is not a girl's. She treats a girl like this, but she has the nerve to say those words. It really makes lard fool her heart. It's disgusting!"

Jiang Ruan said: "Hasn't she already suffered retribution? Everything in the world must have a cause and effect. The evil results of Zhang Lan's family today are the causes they planted in the past."

Lianqiao smiled and said: "Young lady is still smart, seeing her frightened like that, our girl is very good at predicting things."

Jiang Ruan couldn't help laughing. In the last life, she was on the person who harmed him. In the palace, when she was miserable and helpless, one of the things she learned was forbearance. If there is a plan, it should be plotted slowly, using everything that can be used, all of which can be used smoothly now. Thinking of just now, she asked, "What did you want to say to me just now?"

"This..." Lian Qiao bit her lips: "There are rumors of the master everywhere, saying that the master is not strict in running the family, allowing the eldest daughter of the Shang Shufu to be bullied by others in the Zhuangzi." After speaking, she carefully looked at Jiang Ruan's expression , but saw Jiang Ruanyang showing a faint smile: "Really?"

Even if there was such an uproar in Zhuangzi, the capital would naturally take this matter as an after-dinner conversation. All of them said that Jiang Shang was kind and cold in writing, and he felt that the daughter of the Jiang family, Gao Yi, was intelligent. The door of the Jiang family's house was closed, and there was not even a servant girl who went out to buy.

Inside Jiang's mansion, Jiang Quan slapped the booklet in his hand on the desk, and said with a livid face, "You bastard!"

"My lord," the woman who opened the door came in a pink silk embroidered lily dress, the corners of the skirt were like upturned petals, and she wore a ponytail decorated with South Sea pearl flowers. She was refreshing and neat, with beautiful eyebrows and almond eyes. , but extremely gentle and graceful, with a strong book breath. She put down the food basket in her hand, stepped forward to hold Jiang Quan's hand, and said softly: "Master, calm down, don't be angry."

When Jiang Quan saw her, the gloomy expression on his face dissipated a little, but his tone was still full of anger: "Look at what is written in these scriptures! It is said that I, Jiang Quan, was not strict in running the family, was harsh on my daughter-in-law, and ignored my children for six years. I am cold-blooded and ruthless, a hypocrite! The emperor has ordered me to go home and reflect, and now I have become the laughing stock of the court! Zhao Mei, you have raised a good daughter!"

"It's none of my sister's business." Xia Yan persuaded urgently: "Ruan'er definitely didn't do it on purpose, but it's just like this now, master, why don't you take Ruan'er back to calm the emperor's suspicion, and I'll let someone prepare it for me now." .”

"No need," Jiang Quan raised his hand, his eyes full of gloom: "Wang Yushi has personally prepared a vehicle to take her back to Beijing."

Zhuangzi's journey to Beijing could be as fast as two days, and as long as three days. Wang Yushi advocated frugality, but he didn't use the soft sedan chair arranged by Qian Wanli. He only ordered two carriages. Two of Jiang Ruan's three boxes had been sold for silver notes, and the remaining box of books was loaded into the carriage, which saved a lot of space.

Apart from Zisu and Forsythia, the accompanying maids also brought Luzhu along with them. Before leaving, Luzhu volunteered to serve Jiang Ruan. Originally, Jiang Ruan also planned to let Xiaoyuan follow her. These two girls are clever and clever, and they are rare to be bold. Only Xiaoyuan is a child of her family, and she doesn't want to leave her parents, so she politely declined. Jiang Ruan's kindness. Jiang Ruan didn't force her, and left a sum of money for her, as a repayment for her help.
