"This is really a rare thing!" Mrs. Wang saw this gold-wired snuff bottle and praised it profusely. "No wonder everyone says that the Marquis Mansion is rich and noble. How have we, a small family, ever seen such a thing! Look, it's still embedded in Got the gold thread!”
"Yes, such a small thing can be embedded with gold wire. How rich a family must be to use it!"
"We are lucky enough to be able to see such beautiful things."
Amid everyone's compliments, Lu Lingjun's voice sounded, "This is not from the Hou Mansion."
She frowned more and more as she looked at the snuff bottle.
"Aruo, where did you get this thing?"
After her words fell, everyone looked at Du Ruo, who was even more confused.
"This is what my master gave me..."
"Did the prince give it to you?" Lu Lingjun asked back.
Du Ruo felt guilty for a moment. This thing was washed out of Cheng Yunshuo's clothes. Cheng Yunshuo didn't say it was for her. However, this thing was not for her or for someone else.
She glanced at Lu Lingyun and quickly looked away, "Yes."
"I'll ask Yun Shuo later." Lu Lingyun put the snuff bottle away. She saw Du Ruo's expression, "You don't have to think too much. I'll just ask. I'll pay you back if nothing happens."
When Du Ruo heard this, he felt reluctant and a little panicked.
What did she mean? Didn't Cheng Yunshuo really get this thing from her?
If she didn't beg for it, Cheng Yunshuo must have bought it for her outside. So, was Lu Lingjun jealous of her?
She frowned, but she didn't dare to say no to Lu Lingyun. She looked at Lu Lingyun who put away his snuff bottle, said hello to everyone and left. She pursed her lips and said nothing the whole time.
After Lu Lingjun left, her aunt asked her in a low voice, "Aruo, is that thing really given to you by the Crown Prince?"
"Otherwise!" Du Ruoyi snorted.
"But why do I feel that Madam Shizi said there is something wrong with the origin of that thing."
"She must be jealous of me!"
Du Ruo turned his head, full of dissatisfaction.
Seeing her like this, Madam Wang rolled her eyes in her heart. She thought of something and suddenly said, "That's not right!"
"What's wrong?" Everyone looked at her.
Mrs. Wang realized later and said, "That thing is really not an ordinary object. Why do I feel that it looks a bit like something from the palace!"
After the word "Imperial Palace" fell, everyone in the room fell silent.
Madam Wang looked at Du Ruo with serious eyes, "Aruo, where did you get this thing from?"
"Yes, it was given to me by my master..."
Madam Wang watched Du Ruo grow up and knew that Du Ruo loved to show off and show off when he got something. She said with a cold face, "Let me tell you, there are frequent thefts when entering the palace. This is a big deal. You Don’t mess around just to save face!”
When Du Ruo heard this, her expression froze. She froze on the spot, turned around and went back to the house.
When she returned to her house, Cheng Yunshuo also came back.
Lu Lingjun sent someone to inform him and asked him to come back.
At this time, he was in Lu Lingyun's yard.
Cheng Yunshuo looked at the gold-wired snuff bottle that Lu Lingyun took out and was confused, "Where is it?"
"Isn't this what you gave to Du Ruo?"
"I gave it to you?" Cheng Yunshuo was very puzzled. He picked up the gold-rimmed snuff bottle and looked at it carefully. He was a man who knew the goods. The workmanship and material on it all told him that this was not something that ordinary people could use.
"I've never seen this." Cheng Yunshuo said truthfully at this time. He looked at the others and said, "Call Aunt Du over here."
After a while, Du Ruo came over.
Du Ruo was in a state of confusion at this moment. After seeing Cheng Yunshuo, he finally felt confident, "Master..."
As soon as her soft voice fell, she was interrupted by a sharp shout, "Aruo, where did you get this thing!"
Suddenly, Du Ruo's heart sank, and at the same time, he felt a sense of grievance.
She couldn't help but pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Aunt Du, didn't you say that the Crown Prince gave this to you?" Lu Lingjun asked from the side.
She didn't care about the other mess, she just wanted to know the whole story, which was related to the safety of the Hou Mansion.
Cheng Yunshuo usually gave Du Ruo whatever he liked and doted on her as much as he liked.
But when it comes to important matters and her interests, she has to ask to the end.
Under Lu Lingjun's cold voice, Du Ruo reluctantly said, "I found it in the prince's armor."
"My armor?"
"That was the day you were covered in feces and took off your clothes in my yard!" Du Ruo told the story in one breath.
After she said these words, Cheng Yunshuo and Lu Lingjun were both startled. Lu Lingjun looked at Cheng Yunshuo with wide eyes.
"What you brought with you..."
Cheng Yunshuo suddenly realized that the snuff bottle he brought with him must be from the palace!
And it’s the jewelry that was stolen from the palace!
He immediately figured out that these things must have been hidden in the bucket. The feces in it had been splashed all over him that day, and the snuff bottle had hung on him.
He found out where those things were!
Cheng Yunshuo figured it out and immediately looked at Du Ruo, his eyes full of complaints, "You didn't tell me such an important thing!"
"I......"
When Du Ruo heard this, his grievances reached his heart.
How could she know!
Moreover, isn't this what Cheng Yunshuo wanted to give to her!
"You are really fooling around. You dare to hide something like this, and you almost ruined the big thing." Cheng Yunshuo took the snuff bottle and checked it up and down. He was absolutely sure that it was something from the palace, and he kept going, "I'm going back to the palace. If something happens, just wait for me!"
After Cheng Yunshuo said that, he turned around and left. Du Ruo stared at him closely throughout the whole process. In the end, when his back was completely gone, Cheng Yunshuo didn't even look at her.
He didn't even care to hear her explanation.
He also told her to wait.
Du Ruo didn't know what he was feeling at this moment, he just felt wronged, crazy wronged.
Tears welled up in his eyes and he bit his lips.
Lu Lingjun looked at her heartbroken expression and said, "Aunt Du, please go back first."
When her voice fell, Du Ruo, who was forced to stand on the spot, covered his face and ran back.
During the day the next day, Cheng Yunshuo came back.
Smiling and smiling.
Yesterday, the palace spent a night catching a thief, and successfully traced the theft case of Concubine Shu to the source, and got to the bottom of it.
It was all because Cheng Yunshuo brought the snuff bottle back and provided effective clues.
Those thieves really hid all the dirty things in the royal bucket in the palace. Because the investigation became more and more strict, they took desperate risks and transported the things out bit by bit. No one had ever found them before, but they were loyal to Cheng Yunshuo the first time. Inside the duty inspection.
Cheng Yunshuo met the emperor for the first time because of his meritorious service in this investigation, and was praised by the emperor.
He also promoted Cheng Yunshuo to a rank, becoming a fifth-rank Dragon Guard.
