When Luo Jianing returned to the house, she was a little sleepy and confused.

It’s easy to get sleepy after being pregnant. After running around a lot today and talking to my family about various situations at home, I couldn’t help but feel tired. As a result, I almost fell asleep when I returned to the mansion.

She forced herself to meet Fulong and Su Peisheng first: "What's going on?" The most important thing is, are those people still "talking" with Li?

Fu Rong knew at a glance that Fujin was sleepy, and said hurriedly: "It's nothing serious. I just said a few words to Chun Rui who was next to Li, gave Chun Rui a set of clothes, and then left. He is not here now."

"

After hearing this situation, Luo Jianing knew that she could not find fault with those people at this time, so she let herself fall asleep.

When I opened my eyes, it was already dark.

She slept for an hour.

After Luo Jianing had some rice, she called everyone over and asked about today's situation in detail.

It turns out that the person who secretly colluded with the Li family was Chun Rui.

She originally served Li Shi. When Li Shi was still Li Gege, she followed Li Shi and made many suggestions. She was considered one of Li Shi's confidants.

Later, Mrs. Li was convicted, but she was also "smart". The errand assigned to her was to take care of Mr. Li, but she found a way to be lazy and stayed in the west wing day after day. She said she was taking care of little Princess, but in fact

I just don’t want to face Mrs. Li who is dirty, smelly, and verbally abusive.

After leaving the palace and setting up a mansion, Chun Rui and Li didn't deal with each other at first.

I don’t know why they are now united, and Chun Rui actually has a relationship with Magistrate Li’s family outside.

Perhaps because the four prefixes of the poem were too arrogant, the other two people in the room, Li and Chun Rui, joined forces? This is also possible.

It's just that how Chun Rui got involved with people from Magistrate Li needs to be considered carefully.

Luo Jianing expressed her doubts.

Su Peisheng said: "I heard this from Eunuch Gao."

"Gao Wuyong?" Luo Jianing said and subconsciously glanced at Yinzhen by the window.

Su Peisheng: "Yes. Eunuch Gao said, Chunrui sometimes goes out to buy some things that Xiao Gege needs. You also know that Song Gege has no ideas. Chunrui used to take care of Xiao Gege.

"Gege, it started when little Gege was born. If she said something that little Gege has been used to since she was a child, I'm afraid even Song Gege wouldn't be able to make up her mind and would have to allow her to go out and do it."

Although Mrs. Song loved Little Princess, she only started doing so halfway.

When little Princess was born, Ms. Song was still in agony over her child who died in infancy. At that time, she couldn't even pay attention to her fourth elder brother, so how could she pay attention to other people's children?

So if Chunrui really grasped this, the Song family had to give Chunrui a sign that she could leave the house and let Chunrui go out to buy items related to Xiaogege.

"In terms of time, it's right." Luo Jianing said: "What Gao Wuyong said makes sense."

Now in the mansion, she and the Song family are the only ones who can manage things in the back house.

When she was at home, she was always in charge of the house signs. Anyone who wanted to go out had to answer her questions.

On New Year's Eve, because she was going to the palace to attend a family banquet, she gave the sign to Mrs. Song for temporary safekeeping. Later on the second day of the Lunar New Year, she also temporarily gave it to Mrs. Song.

On New Year's Eve, Ms. Song came to return the sign to her in the middle of the night, and by the way told her who she had given the sign to and what it was doing.

At that time, I actually mentioned Chun Rui.

It's just that Mrs. Song said, "Chunrui went out for a while and bought a rattle for Little Gege." Moreover, Chunrui had been at odds with Mr. Li some time ago, and the two were at each other's throats every day.

So there seemed to be nothing strange about this matter, so Luo Jianing just listened briefly and didn't ask in detail.

I think on New Year's Eve, Chun Rui somehow met people from Magistrate Li's family, and then together, people from Magistrate Li's family started to come over to "visit"?

……wrong.

The time doesn't match up.

If the encounter had just started that day, there is no reason that the Li family would be so well prepared.

Luo Jianing sent Cui Ying: "Go to Song Gege's place and ask if Chun Rui went out to buy anything on the Laba Festival."

She just remembered that she gave the sign to Mrs. Song not only on New Year's Eve but also today on the second day of the Lunar New Year.

It was the same even on Laba day.

During Laba, a family banquet was suddenly held in the palace. In order to keep the palace running as usual, she also gave the sign to the Song family.

At that time, when Song took over the brand for the first time, he was not very familiar with it.

Luo Jianing returned to the mansion after attending the family banquet in the palace and asked Mrs. Song about the flow of people that day. Mrs. Song's answers were stumbled and incoherent. She must have remembered some and forgotten some.

At that time, there was no mention of Chun Rui leaving the house, but it doesn't necessarily mean that Chun Rui really stayed in the house.

Perhaps Mrs. Song was nervous and missed it when she was replying.

If the people from the Li family are fully prepared in the past few days, maybe they will start earlier.

The time of Laba is just right.

Mrs. Lin had been to Si Age's Mansion before that, but after being frustrated, she was too embarrassed to visit again. She must have been very angry, and she often spoke ill of Si Age's Mansion in the Li family.

Moreover, Laba happened to be around the time when Magistrate Li returned to Beijing to report on his duties.

It's just that Magistrate Li knew well what kind of identity Mr. Li was now, so he didn't come to bother Fourth Elder Brother's house and quietly took over the errands without doing anything else.

Everyone in the room was waiting for the result of Cui Ying's inquiry.

Not long after, she ran into the house panting, holding on to the door frame and panting for a long time before she regained her composure: "Song, Song Gege said that Chun Rui did indeed leave the house that day!"

At this time, the expressions of everyone in the room became subtle.

Cuiying replied: "Song Gege said that Chunrui did take the sign and left the house that day. At that time, little Gege couldn't stop crying. Chunrui said she had a way to make little Gege happy, so she took the sign and left the house.

One trip. When I came back, little Gege had stopped crying and was playing by herself. Chunrui gave the small pendant she bought to little Gege. Little Gege was so happy that she kept laughing all night."

After saying this, Cuiying paused for a moment: "Song Gege also said that it was precisely because Chun Rui had a way to make little Ge Ge happy on Laba Day, so on New Year's Eve, she also agreed with Chun Rui to buy things for little Ge Ge.

.”

Luo Jianing asked: "Did Song Gege say how many times Chun Rui went out these times?"

"Laba Day is a little longer, about an hour and a half." Cuiying said: "New Year's Eve is a little shorter, about half an hour."

An hour is two hours. When Chun Rui Laba went out that day, she actually spent three hours...

It’s no wonder that little Gege kept crying when she went out. When she came back, little Gege had already started playing after the rain. No child who is not sick or suffering from disaster would not cry for three hours without stopping.

"That's her." Luo Jianing's lips showed a smile.

Now it seems that these things are somewhat foreshadowing. It's just that she didn't think about it that much during the pregnancy. Moreover, Li and Chunrui have always had a tense relationship, which also misled her in the direction of her considerations.

I don’t know what Chun Rui and Li were “plotting” together every day, but they actually started to join forces.

If this is the case, their previous non-confrontation and quarrel may have been just for their masters to see. In fact, the two of them are very good friends.

After finding out that Chun Rui was indeed the "traitor", Luo Jianing asked Su Peisheng to stop talking and see what Chun Rui and the others had done today.

"She secretly met the female member of the Li family today, Mrs. Lin." Su Peisheng said: "Ms. Lin briefly talked to her for a few words, and then gave her a set of clothes."

"Since we just met once and I gave you clothes." Luo Jianing said doubtfully, "It doesn't seem like there's anything wrong?"

But this is just talk.

I would like to ask how the Li family went to great lengths to establish a connection with the Li family, how could it be as simple as sending a piece of clothing?

If this is really the case, they can come to Si Age's house to visit him openly and hand over the clothes to the house openly. In this way, Mrs. Li can still put on the clothes smoothly.

And this kind of move is simpler.

Although the Li family is not a serious relative of the Fourth Elder Brother's Mansion, they can send things over if the Li family is still in the manor, but they may not be able to meet each other.

After Li made a mistake, the emperor let her go. As long as she was still a member of the family, the Li family could send things through legitimate channels.

Now that the Li family has put so much effort into it, no one will believe it if they say they have no other agenda.

Luo Jianing just said this casually.

Yinzhen on the side was reading a book and did not pay attention to her expression. After listening to her words, he put the book on the case and expressed his opinion: "It cannot be said that there is no problem in this matter. If there is no evil in their hearts, why not

Come and visit me in person?"

After saying that, he smiled: "Although their daughter has made mistakes, I am not like a savage beast that people dare not come to see."

As soon as the fourth elder brother said this, Su Peisheng and Anfu quietly exchanged glances, and then secretly looked at the fourth elder brother.

They both had the same idea in mind.

——To be honest, you really look like a savage beast when you don’t smile!

The two of them secretly murmured, and Furong on the side nodded and said, "What the Fourth Master said makes sense." She advised Fujin, "You still have to be more vigilant about this matter. The Li family is not a bad person, so Fujin would be wise to be careful."

If the Li family is just an ordinary official family, then Magistrate Li is just a small official in Jiangnan. How can he send his daughter to the prince's mansion to be a concubine?

Moreover, if Fujin hadn't broken through Li's tricks, he might be like what he is now. The emperor might not know what this woman is like in private, but he would praise her as "submissive and virtuous" just by looking at her appearance.

It can only be said that the Li family is very good at educating their daughters. Not only the Li family, but the Li family themselves are also very resourceful.

Luo Jianing actually did not take it lightly.

But everyone in the room was thinking about her, and she was moved, so she didn't defend herself, and just followed their words: "Don't worry, I will naturally be more careful."
