Xing Dairong?
Lu Lingjun's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at her strangely, "Where is Xing Dairong?"
Du Ruo slowly regained her composure and recalled carefully, "It wasn't her. That woman looked very similar to her. She was much older than Xing Dairong. There was a young person beside her who called her aunt."
After hearing this, Lu Lingjun frowned, held the tea cup, scraped the foam, and took a long sip, "How similar is it?"
"Eighty-nine points!" Du Ruo looked Lu Lingyun in the eyes, "I have never seen anyone so similar to her. She was almost carved out of the same mold. Because of this, I lost my mind for a moment and held on to her tightly, calling her The clothes are torn."
As he spoke, Du Ruo seemed to have thought of something, "I understand, she must have complained to the master yesterday, slandering me and saying that I beat her in the street and pulled her clothes?! How can this old woman be so heavy? Scheming! Nonsense! So shameless!"
Du Ruoyi was filled with anger and immediately found the reason for the injustice he suffered.
No wonder what Cheng Yunshuo said to her yesterday was so strange.
It turns out that the woman was behind it!
"Do you know who she is?" Lu Lingjun said after figuring out the whole story.
"I don't know," Du Ruo shook his head, with a hint of anger in his eyes, "If I know, I won't let this villain go!"
Lu Lingjun: "......"
"Forget it, even if you didn't hit someone in the street, you did ruin their clothes. What are you doing to them?"
"She took my sachet first!"
Lu Lingjun raised his eyes to look at her, and Du Ruo immediately stopped his arrogance, "She also accused me of blindness behind my back and framed me with added fuel and jealousy..."
Seeing her aggrieved and hurt look, Lu Lingyun said, "Okay, since that's the case, I won't punish you today. You can go back first."
Du Ruo hesitated in place for a while, then lowered his angry head, turned around and left obediently.
After Du Ruo left, Lu Lingjun fell into thinking.
Cheng Yunshuo told her that if the sachet that Du Ruo embroidered for him was lost in the palace, someone in the palace must have found it.
In this case, the woman should be a maid in the palace.
In addition, Du Ruo said that she was old and was called aunt, so most likely she was an aunt in charge.
Does she look like Xing Dairong?
Lu Lingjun became very curious. She thought for a moment and said, "Prepare the carriage and go to Madam Wang's house."
After a few cups of tea, Lu Lingjun arrived at Madam Wang's house.
"Sister Lu, what brought you here!" Madam Wang was surprised to see Lu Lingyun.
"I have something to trouble Sister Wang again." Lu Lingjun said with a smile.
"Is there any trouble between us? Sit down and tell me, what happened?"
"It's still about my eldest son. He lost a sachet while working in the palace a few days ago. I heard that an aunt in the palace picked it up. It was originally a coincidence, but it turned out to be self-defeating yesterday. Aruo bumped into that aunt outside. I made a misunderstanding about my purchase and offended that aunt. I thought about it and wanted to see that aunt and apologize to her."
"I knew that it was probably A Ruo who caused the trouble again!" After hearing this, Mrs. Wang immediately said, "A Ruo is such a troublemaker, causing trouble everywhere!"
Lu Lingjun smiled and said, "Your Majesty punished A Ruo. I thought I should apologize to her aunt."
"It's really hard for you." Madam Wang looked at Lu Lingyun with sympathy and pain. It's not easy to be the mistress of such a wealthy family. She has to handle all the big and small things properly.
Both inside and outside are very humane and sophisticated, that is to say, Lu Lingjun is a good-tempered person who is willing to clean up the mess for his own concubine and replace her with someone else's, and just ignore it after being beaten and scolded.
Involuntarily, Mrs. Wang admired Lu Lingjun even more.
"Don't worry, I'll ask my guy to check with you today and I'll get back to you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Sister Wang." Lu Lingjun smiled at her.
The next morning, when Lu Lingjun was at the Hou Mansion, he heard Lady Wang coming.
"Young lady, the Queen is here."
"Please!"
Mrs. Wang came proactively, and as soon as she entered her courtyard, she said, "Sister Lu, I'm asking you!"
"Thank you so much, Sister Wang. Please send someone to tell me and I will come over."
"Then you still have to go. It's the same if you go or I come!" Mrs. Wang happily sat down in her yard.
Lu Lingjun gathered his servants and quickly served tea to Madam Wang. Madam Wang took a sip of hot tea and said calmly, "I've been asking about that."
"You said that aunt should be an aunt in charge of the Internal Affairs Bureau. Her name is Bi'an. She is in her mid-twenties. She specializes in miscellaneous matters in the Internal Affairs Bureau. Sometimes she even goes out to buy things from the palace."
"She is already twenty-five?"
"Yes, as a rule, she has reached the age of leaving the palace this year, but many palace maids like her will stay in the palace and continue to work. I don't know if she is willing to leave the palace." Madam Wang said, "Then I heard that my aunt is very humble, has a good temper and knows the rules."
Lu Lingjun listened to what Mrs. Wang said. She was modest and had a good temper. She didn't say anything for the time being. She just knew the rules well, but she thought it might not be the case.
According to Cheng Yunshuo, Aunt Bi'e picked up his sachet a few days ago and found out that it belonged to him. However, she did not find anyone to return it to her. Instead, she took it herself and said she would return it in person. When Du Ruo bumped into her the next day, the sachet was still hung heavily on her waist, which probably meant something else.
She knew something about the rules, but she felt there was something wrong.
"Sister Wang, can you set up a line for me and ask if it's convenient for me to meet Aunt Bi'e?"
"I've asked this for you. Tomorrow, Aunt Bi'e will go out to the palace to do shopping again. She will come in and out through the west gate. Shen Shi will be back. You can wait for her outside the west gate."
When Lu Lingjun heard the exact time and place, he hurriedly thanked Madam Wang, "Thank you, Sister Wang!"
"Why are you so polite?"
Madam Wang sat with Lu Lingjun for a long time, chatting with her about domestic affairs. She mentioned that Du Ruo's aunt was not in good health recently, and Du Ruo's two brothers also planned to get married, but no good girl from a decent family fell in love with them.
Because the two of them gave most of the family's money to Du Ruo as dowry, and the second brother Du also became addicted to gambling and lost all the family's money. Now everyone thinks they are poor and refuses to marry.
Aunt Du Ruo's health is getting worse day by day, and she has asked them both to completely lower their standards for marrying a wife. As long as she is a girl from a good family, even if she is a poor commoner or a merchant girl, she must be innocent.
Lu Lingyun listened patiently to these various household affairs, and even sighed twice from time to time.
No matter what time it is, it is not easy for ordinary people to get married. The Du family is considered a good family. All the brothers in the family work in the government office. They should not get married or not.
