If the other party finds out and comes up with other ways to deal with him, the gain will outweigh the loss. However, she has no other way at the moment. If she doesn't take some risks, how can she get into the tiger's den and get the tiger's cub
The sun was setting in the west, and the sky outside was gradually getting dark. There is no wind tonight, but there is a dark cloud covering the bright moon. And night came again.
The speed of the secret door is indeed very fast, but within three days, Hong Rui brought the news of the spy.
After listening to Hong Rui's words, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but frown slightly, and it took him a long time to say, "You mean, the Fu family's shop borrowed the money from the Shen family?"
Hongrui nodded and said, "Yes, that person told me that the Shen family provided many beauty recipes and sent people to instruct them on how to sell the products. What they called it, oh yes, it is 'franchise'!" It seemed like Not quite understanding the word, Hongrui asked doubtfully, "Miss, what does joining mean?"
Xie Ruzhuo sneered lightly and said, "It's just another way to make money. You go ahead and don't contact them these days."
"Yes, Miss." Hong Rui responded. Seeing Xie Ruzhuo deep in thought, she closed the door when she went out.
The sky was getting colder and colder. Although the sun was shining brightly in the sky, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't feel any warmth. She tightened her clothes and tried hard to recall the information in her mind.
The man said that the Fu family opened a small shop for women's makeup, and the business was quite prosperous. The reason why they became so prosperous was because the Shen family gave them a share of the pie.
There are many families with the surname Shen in this huge capital city, but the first one who has the ambition to compete with the Xie family is Shen Jingci's Shen family! That kind of weird idea probably came from Shen Jingci’s mind!
Xie Ruzhuo desperately suppressed the evil fire in his heart, forced himself to calm down, and analyzed the powerful relationship between them.
She didn't expect that Shen Jingci had already started scheming against the Xie family so long ago. Controlling Fu Qian'er through the Fu family is equivalent to placing an extremely safe chess piece in the Xie family. If we follow this assumption, in the previous life, Fu used the death of her fetus to frame Qiao, and was it possible that Shen Jingci was also in the way
When she thought of Mrs. Qiao, Xie Ruzhuo suddenly remembered something. She suddenly opened her eyes wide and her face turned pale for a moment. She hurriedly shouted outside, "Jiangzhu, come in and help me dress. I have to go to my mother." There!"
Jiang Zhu thought something had happened. After pushing the door open, she saw Xie Ruzhuo's face as white as paper, and the panic on his face was clearly visible. She walked over quickly and asked, "Miss, didn't we just invite An back?" , what happened?"
Feeling the softness from the palm of the person in front of him, Xie Ruzhuo calmed down a little and said, "It's okay, I just remembered that something was left at my mother's place. It's almost noon, let's go there quickly."
Although Jiang Zhu had doubts, he didn't dare to ask more questions when he saw her like this. He just packed up quickly and followed Xie Ruzhuo to Linlang Pavilion.
Unfortunately, when she went there, Mrs. Qiao had just taken Cuiliu to the warehouse, but she hadn't come back yet. In the courtyard, only Bizhi was watching the maids cleaning the room.
Xie Ruzhuo went to the room and walked around casually, and Bi Zhi laughed and said, "If the Fourth Miss had been earlier, I might have been able to meet Madam. What have you lost? How about your servant help you find it?" ?" Xie Ruzhuo is getting along well with Mrs. Qiao now. Bizhi is happy for his wife, and his eyes looking at Xie Ruzhuo are much kinder.
"It's okay, it's not an important thing. I probably left it somewhere else." Xie Ruzhuo waved his hand and saw that only Bizhi was left in the inner room. Then he straightened up, looked outside and said, "Sister Bizhi , come here, I have something to ask you."
Bizhi responded, and seeing the solemn look on her face, she became a little nervous because she asked, "Miss Fourth, please ask."
"Who is responsible for mother's washing?"
Unexpectedly, she asked this question. Bizhi also raised some thoughts and said, "It's Dongxiang, the second-class maid in the courtyard. What's wrong? Did something happen?"
Xie Ruzhuo thought about it a few times, thought about it for a while, and finally said just one sentence, "From now on, you will inspect everything my mother washes. Remember, you must inspect it in private, and don't let anyone find out."
She originally wanted to tell Mrs. Qiao herself, but now she has sobered up after the fever has passed. She can't tell her mother, 'Your face will be ruined in three years', right? Not to mention the credibility of what he said, it means that Mr. Qiao really believed in him. It would be bad if he accidentally alerted the snake. So for now, we can only let Bizhi check it quietly.
She remembered that Mr. Qiao’s face was disfigured in her previous life. It seemed that there was something wrong with the face wash! What a coincidence, the Fu family opened a cosmetics shop, which made Xie Ruzhuo think too much.
If Mrs. Fu has contacts with the Shen family, given Fu Qian'er's vicious temperament, she might not use the Shen family's evil hands to harm Mrs. Qiao! After all, Fu Qian'er had been trying to spy on the eldest lady's location, but Xiao Xiao had been thinking about it for a long time. Although in the previous life, Qiao's face was disfigured three years later, there are no absolutes in the world. Since the things she is experiencing now are somewhat different from those in the previous life, it means that everyone's fate may happen now. Change.
Xie Ruzhuo is reincarnated, and what he hopes most now is to protect the people close to him and not let them repeat the sorrow of the previous life!
Bizhi has been with Mr. Qiao for a long time and thinks a lot. Now that Xie Ruzhuo couldn't say a word, she immediately realized the problem. Seeing Xie Ruzhuo's serious expression, Bizhi also nodded cautiously and said, "Don't worry, miss, I know what to do."
The next day was the fifteenth day, and as usual Xie Ruzhuo was going to accompany Xie Shengli to give lectures at Jialan Temple. Early in the morning, Qianbi Jiangzhu and several maids packed up their affairs and accompanied Xie Ruzhuo to Ningxi Hall.
Xie Shengli was practicing his sword skills in the yard, and he made a powerful move with a chain knife. Xie Ruzhuo stood at the door of the yard, looking at his grandpa who was only wearing a middle coat but still looking very imposing, and couldn't help but feel a little wet in his eyes. Her grandfather commanded tens of thousands of soldiers and horses when he was young. He changed his career to civilian service in middle age. He dedicated his life to everything. Even the late emperor praised him as "literary can bring peace to the world with his pen, and martial arts can immediately determine the world"!
However, all his hard work was destroyed by her in his previous life. She was really unfilial! If you ended up like that in your previous life, it was probably your own fault!
Xie Shengli executed the last move, then slowly put away the ice blade, took the handkerchief Lin Mu handed over, and looked at Xie Ruzhuo while wiping his sweat. Seeing that she was in a daze, he couldn't help but jokingly said, "Fourth girl, are you just stunned?"
Xie Ruzhuo came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Isn't that right? Grandpa is really a hero of his generation. Zhuo'er is yearning for him when he sees him."
"Haha, you girl." Xie Shengli gave the knife to Lin Mu and then said, "In the past, you were always lazy and I didn't come here until after dinner. Why is it so early today?"
"Well, if I do what I did before, wouldn't I have missed that wonderful scene just now?" Xie Ruzhuo chuckled, couldn't help but walk into the sword that was as tall as her, and said with envy, "Grandpa, Zhuo'er also wants to Can you teach me how to learn sword skills?"
Xie Shengli was about to go back into the house, but after hearing this, he was slightly surprised and said, "Girl, you haven't recovered from your stupidity yet, right?"
"Oh, Grandpa!" Xie Ruzhuo said coquettishly, "I am very envious of your abilities." If everything goes according to the path in the previous life, then she will face many bloody storms in the future, and she is a weak person. Women, just relying on that little bit of foresight, may not always get everything they want. When she is face to face with the enemy, power may not be the best weapon. Sometimes force is better!
Xie Ruzhuo made up his mind, but Xie Shengli accidentally agreed. Seeing the determination in her eyes, he smiled and said, "Then you should weigh the weight of this knife first."
Seeing Lin Mu pick it up easily, Xie Ruzhuo was a little disapproving. This baby-faced boy could do it, so couldn't he? She walked over as instructed and took the weapon from Lin Mu's hand. Unexpectedly, as soon as Lin Mu let go, Xie Ruzhuo felt his hand suddenly sink. She used all her strength to steady the knife, but within just a short while, Xie Ruzhuo's face was already covered in sweat.
Lin Mu saw that she really couldn't hold on any longer, so he took the weapon in her hand and said with a smile, "Miss Fourth, I'd better keep it as a slave."
Comparing people to each other makes people angry. When the weapon returned to Lin Mu's hand, it was like an obedient kitten, no matter how he held it, it was very easy to hold.
Xie Ruzhuo was surprised, and his evaluation of Lin Mu became even higher.
Seeing her like this, Xie Shengli couldn't help but laugh, "Girl, this knife weighs thirty-six pounds and is forged from thousand-year-old black iron. It would be weird if you could pick it up easily." But just now she had thought about it. , but still did not throw away the weapon. This girl's resilience is something I can't underestimate.
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo couldn't help but be stunned, "Grandpa, you are so powerful!" Being able to wield such a heavy weapon with great force, it seems that the rumors about his grandfather were not exaggerated.
"Okay, you little sycophant, if you really want to learn, I will find a good master for you someday. It's just that women and men have different physiques. As the saying goes, the sword is heavy and the sword is light. It's better for you to learn the sword."
After hearing Xie Shengli's words, Xie Ruzhuo's eyes suddenly flashed with light, and he began to flatter Xie Shengli even more. No matter the sword, as long as she learns it, she will have an extra layer of protection in the future! As for what Xie Shengli said about enduring hardship, didn't she suffer enough in her previous life? !
After finishing their breakfast with Xie Shengli, the group headed towards Jialan Temple in a mighty manner.
Jialan Temple is the national temple of the country and is also known as the best temple in the world. The abbot, Master Huicheng, was even named the Protector of the Country by the emperor. However, Master Huicheng devoted himself to the Buddha and would only come out of seclusion when things in the world changed. The reception of foreign guests on weekdays also had to be decided by people.
The Xie family is an exception for Master Huicheng.
Fifteen years ago, when the wife of Xie's family, Jiang Muyan, gave birth to a daughter, Master Huicheng predicted that this daughter would be a star in the future, and he has been paying close attention to the Xie family ever since. Then six years later, opposite the Phoenix star, there was another star. This star was shining brightly and was very popular, and it gradually had the intention of suppressing the Phoenix star. In the past few years, as Xie Ruzhuo has grown up, the phoenix star's light has become dimmer, but the star seems to have absorbed the phoenix star's light, gradually moving closer to the phoenix star, almost replacing it!
Xie Shengli came here today because of this matter. A few days ago, Master Huicheng sent a message saying that something had changed in Fengxing and asked him to take Xie Ruzhuo to Jialan Temple as soon as possible. But at that time, Xie Ruzhuo had just been injured in the hunting ground and was not suitable for walking. This delay has ended now.
