Ruan Zhen was speechless at Lou Qingwu's words.
Of course she knew where the money went. In order to find someone from the Huai gang to assassinate her, she spent all her money and almost took out all her private houses, and even transferred a lot from Loufu's account to buy Huai. Those who helped.
Coupled with the matter of the one hundred thousand taels of gold later, there would not be much left in the Lou Mansion, otherwise, she would not have pinned her hopes on her elder brother, but she never thought that his elder brother would be so heartless later on, that she would end up in such a miserable end situation. She originally wanted to use this extravagant dowry to fight for some pity for herself. Unexpectedly, after a few words, Lou Qingwu returned to her original form again. She took a peek at Ye Ji, who looked like she was staying out of the matter, obviously waiting for her to continue.
Thinking that she can only rely on her niece now, she gritted her teeth and said bravely: "How would I know this? Who said that I am in charge of the house? I am a woman, and if I want to listen, I will only listen to the master."
Ruan Zhen's reason is a bit far-fetched. After all, when Ruan Zhen was favored, she told these noble ladies everywhere that she was in charge of the financial power of the entire building. He hummed, "That's not right, how did I remember that you said before that you were in charge of the house? Even the left minister had to report to you for taking money?"
Ruan Zhen blushed, "This..."
As if that wasn't enough, Lou Qingwu glanced at Shopkeeper Jin, who sneaked back to the counter and quietly took out a piece of paper.
They sent someone to secretly give it to Lou Qingwu.
Only then did Lou Qingwu sit up straight slowly, looking at Ruan Zhen with a pair of dark eyes, her sharpness was astonishing, "Since you can't tell, Mrs. Ruan, let me tell you about those so-called missing coins. Where did they all go? A few months ago, Mrs. Ruan, you embezzled one hundred thousand taels of silver from the Lou Mansion and gave it to the Huai Gang, wanting them to kill someone for you. Later, the Huai Gang was kidnapped overnight. Unfortunately, something fell into my hands, Mrs. Ruan, would you like to take a look?" She casually unfolded the piece of paper, "It's written in black and white, eh, there are also your fingerprints and signature, Mrs. Ruan Well, I just don’t know, does the assassination target ‘Lou Qingwu’ mentioned above refer to me?”
Everyone gasped when they heard this. Buying a murderer to kill someone is something that the entire Dongyu Kingdom despises, not to mention letting the evidence fall into the hands of others, how stupid it is.
Ruan Zhen's face turned pale, she stared at Lou Qingwu in disbelief, "You... how do you have this thing?"
"It seems to be true." The corner of Lou Qingwu's mouth twitched into a half-smile, "Originally, I read that Mrs. Ruan devoted herself to the Lou family for more than ten years, although the result of her dedication was to kill me, but I Still didn’t say much, but I didn’t expect you, Mrs. Ruan, to wrong me so much after hollowing out Lou’s house. If that’s the case, then I don’t have to be polite. Lan Bai, come take this painting and go with Mrs. Ruan Let's go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, I believe Master Zhou should give me an explanation."
Ruan Zhen was completely miserable at this moment. She knew about it early in the morning, but she never showed it. She was just waiting for this opportunity. If she sent her to prison in advance, even if it was reasonable, she was still her at that time. My second mother, if it spreads out, it will be bad for her reputation, so naturally the master will find a way to suppress it. And some people say that she doesn't miss the old love, but now she is nothing, and the master will no longer care about her life and death, and keep in front of these gossip women, I'm afraid it's not as good as half a day, what she did today will be spread, she is completely defeated It's a mess.
Seeing this scene, Ye Ji's expression was extremely ugly, she never imagined that Lou Qingwu would have that thing.
"Man Ji, save me..." Ruan Zhen grabbed her hand, so nervous that she didn't even know Ye Ji's previous name.
When Ye Ji heard the name, her face darkened and she didn't speak.
Ye Ji's hesitation chilled Ye Ji's heart, she turned her back to the crowd, squeezed her wrist tightly, and said in a low voice, "I am your aunt, if your father knows that you will die, he will take you Drive out the Yuebai people!"
"Shut up!" Ye Ji's eyes turned cold, but thinking of the rules in the clan, she narrowed her eyes, "You go with her first, and I will find a way to get you out!"
With Ye Ji's assurance, Ruan Zhen felt relieved and followed Lan Bai and Jin Silou to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. When everyone was gone, Ye Ji clenched her hands tightly in her cuffs, but her face still showed surprise and disbelief, "I didn't expect such a thing to happen. Fortunately, sister Wu, you said today. Come out, otherwise, if I keep a murderer by my side, it would be really scary."
"Really?" Lou Qingwu glanced at her coolly, her gaze was very indifferent, but it made Ye Ji feel weird. But I also knew that there was no way to embarrass this woman today, so I forced a smile, and was about to turn around to take off the new wedding dress, but was stopped by Lou Qingwu, Ye Ji's body froze, and then slowly turned around, " Miss Wu, is there anything else?"
"It's nothing, it's just that Miss Ye Ji wants to give you a gift because you are getting married."
"No need."
"I want it, I want it no matter what. After all, you are the god-sister of the third prince. After all, I will be considered your elder. When you get married, why don't you give you a gift? Shopkeeper Jin, I remember I even ordered a gift." A hollowed-out Ye Mingzhu, give it to Miss Ye Ji as a wedding gift. After all, she must be in a bad mood just after losing a good follower."
Shopkeeper Jin understood, turned around and took it out in person, and opened it in front of everyone. The Ye Mingzhu was very beautifully carved, and because of the hollowing out, the light overflowed and radiated even more.
It's just that one hole after another looks so meaningful.
The smile on Shopkeeper Jin's face was decent and dignified: "This Ye Mingzhu is named 'Baiqiaoxin', I believe Princess Yeji will like it." Shopkeeper Jin deliberately emphasized the word "Baiqiaoxin", and everyone said Qiqiaolinglongxin is a metaphor for people's intelligence, but Baiqiao, as the name suggests, means too many minds. The ladies around were not fuel-efficient lamps, so they immediately understood, looking at Ye Ji with sarcasm, but they just turned their backs to her, and on the bright side, they still smiled when they should, but this time Whether he will tell what happened today is another matter.
Ye Ji looked at Ye Mingzhu, who was placed in front of her, and almost gritted her silver teeth with hatred, but Lou Qingwu, a little slut, used her identity as future sister-in-law to suppress her, which made her hate her even more. Disgusted, her current status does not allow her to make such an ugly gesture.
