Chapter 178 Candied haws are very sweet!

"Having said that, guesses are just guesses. Everything requires evidence. I will go to the Marquis Mansion later to visit my mother-in-law. Let's all have a meal together. We are not in a hurry to go back."

Jing Yu didn't ask Xu Ruyi any more reasons and completely believed her story.

He looked at the street scene outside and suddenly said to Xu Ruyi: "By the way, princess, do you want to eat candied haws on a stick?"

"Um?"

"I mean... the kind I can eat for you!"

Xu Ruyi then shouted: "Stop!"

Then, after a while, Jing Yu brought up two candied haws.

Give one to Xu Ruyi and keep the other for himself.

Xu Ruyi looked at the candied haws in her hand and sighed: "Eat it for me!"

There are too many beautiful things in this world, and Xu Ruyi is not blessed to enjoy them.

After a long time, Xu Ruyi got used to it.

But Jing Yu insisted: "Princess, you can lick the sugar coating on the outside. It won't hurt your teeth. Try it!"

Xu Ruyi had never tasted such a delicious thing. Jing Yu couldn't help but feel a little distressed. He suddenly thought of something and suggested: "By the way, in two days I will take you to the outskirts of the city and let's go hiking in the mountains."

How many days will the water be ready?"

"OK!"

Why doesn’t Xu Ruyi want to have a good rest?

But right now, there is one more thing that needs to be dealt with, and this matter is finally settled on her side.

That is, this assassination was not just to bring about Queen Mother Jiang's success, she also wanted to take action to deal with the mastermind behind the assassination.

Of course, the person behind the scenes she was looking for was definitely not Chang Yujin. In Xu Ruyi's view, Chang Yujin's deeds and methods were not worthy of distracting her.

But after returning home this time, Xu Ruyi still suggested that she would like to have a banquet at home to celebrate her safe return.

After hearing that Xu Ruyi had returned, Mrs. Cao rushed forward and said with lingering fear: "Ruyi, you don't know that you almost scared your mother-in-law out that night! She heard shouting and beating outside.

The sound of shouting for death meant that something was wrong with you, so my mother-in-law sent all the servants to rescue you. She was afraid that something would happen to you!"

Xiao Cao is a little scared now. At first, she didn't dare to provoke those assassins, but after much thought, she decided to take a gamble and send people to support. Who would have thought that she actually made the right bet, if she had not gone to support that night

, Xu Ruyi will probably not come back safe and sound, then she will definitely suffer disaster!

Mrs. Cao burst into tears when she thought of this. Unknowingly, she thought she was really crying for Xu Ruyi!

This scene really made Jing Yu unable to stand it any longer, so Jing Yu said, "Okay, okay, mother, please stop crying. Isn't Ruyi back? We can't live together for a long time!"

Xiao Cao just found the steps, and then she went down the stairs and said: "That's right. Fortunately, nothing happened to Ruyi, so why should I cry so hard? I'll prepare something delicious for you right away.

Ruyi, if you want to eat something, just tell your mother-in-law!"

At noon, all the dishes were served, but apart from Xiao Cao and Mr. Jinghou, only Chang Yujin was at the table.

When Chang Yujin was sitting at the table, she looked a little haggard, which prompted Xu Ruyi to ask: "Sister-in-law, what's going on?"

Chang Yujin said in a somewhat hoarse voice: "I have been ill recently and have been bedridden."

Xu Ruyi asked in confusion: "How come my eldest sister-in-law is also sick? I have never heard of it."

San Yujin waved his hand and said, "It's just a minor illness, not worth mentioning. It's really rude of me, the eldest sister-in-law, to drag my sick body to the table today."

San Yujin likes to be Xu Ruyi's elder. Even if everything goes wrong, this little bit of seniority can help her regain her self-esteem.

But when Xu Ruyi called her "eldest sister-in-law," it was purely a dig at her.

Is someone like her worthy of being Xu Ruyi's elder?

On the surface, Xu Ruyi didn't care about the title issue with her, but asked bluntly: "Did the eldest sister-in-law hear the sound that night?"

San Yujin was startled, and immediately realized that he could not avoid this question. After all, even Xiao Cao from the main courtyard said that she heard it. If she didn't hear it, wouldn't she be deaf?

Sanyu Jin then replied: "I heard that, I was quite scared at the time, but I have been seriously ill recently, so I didn't go to visit you. Fortunately, princess, you are not seriously ill."

When people are in a hurry, flaws will appear unconsciously. Xu Ruyi immediately noticed the contradiction in this and asked: "Didn't the elder sister-in-law just say that the illness is not serious? Is it serious or not serious? What is the specific illness?

ah?"

Under Xu Ruyi's questioning, Xiao Cao also felt that something was not right, and she also followed up and asked: "Why didn't I know you were sick? When did it happen?"

If Xu Ruyi guessed correctly, she heard the news of Xu Ruyi's awakening the night before and quickly made herself sick. Unfortunately, this kind of little trick was left over from Xu Ruyi's play, but it actually convinced Chang Yujin.

suspicion.

But Chang Yujin did not answer their questions. Instead, he coughed twice, looking completely ill.

But Xu Ruyi knew clearly in her heart - San Yujin was extremely nervous now!

Xu Ruyi then continued to ask: "What about eldest brother? Where was eldest brother that night? You couldn't help, and neither could eldest brother."

After hearing this, Chang Yujin hurriedly explained: "Princess, you don't know something! Since the prince became the Minister of Household Affairs, he has been very busy all day long. His father wants him to continue to be promoted, and even hopes that he can succeed him.

position, so I assigned him a lot of work. That night, he was not at home at all!"

As for whether Jing Xi was at home that night, Xiao Cao didn't know. In her opinion, Jing Xi was the kind of person who was so busy that he didn't even go home. Chang Yujin said that Jing Xi was not there that night, and Xiao Cao didn't know.

I couldn't find any flaws.

But Xu Ruyi continued: "I heard before that my eldest brother goes to the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance every night to ask for advice on the day's problems. He is particularly eager to learn. Was it the same that night?"

At that moment, Chang Yujin thought that he could get rid of Jing Xi's suspicion. He didn't care whether it was true or not, so he nodded sharply and said, "Yes, he often comes to my father to learn from me! That night, he was there

By my father’s side!”

But after saying this, Xu Ruyi directly replied: "I just heard it from hearsay. Later, I found out that the remarks I heard before were not true. The Minister of the Ministry of Finance never gives advice to others. How did the elder sister-in-law know?

So detailed? After all, the eldest sister-in-law can’t always be with my eldest brother. Doesn’t the eldest sister-in-law also have to take care of another pregnant woman in the hospital?”

When Chang Yujin heard this, he spat from the bottom of his heart.
