Chapter 161 Empty Blue
On a windy summer night, Ruan Youqing sat alone on the highest roof of the Ruan Mansion, full of preoccupations.
Even though my mother had told her a lot today, what Gu Changan did made her feel uncomfortable.
She has already walked away so obviously!
That fellow has not caught up yet!
Thinking of this, Ruan Youqing felt a turbid energy in her heart rushing wildly again. She was so rushed that she just wanted to go out and find some wicked people to beat her up to vent.
She never felt this way in her previous life.
Even if Li Yi flirts with other women in front of her, she has never had such an uncomfortable moment.
Could it be...
She never actually... loved him?
But if she didn't love her, how could she be so foolish as to entrust everything to him, desperately trying to win the country for him.
must…
It must be the effect of some medicine or forbidden technique that Li Yi gave her!
Thinking about this, Ruan Youqing suddenly remembered the previous dream, in which Li Yi seemed to have got her personal mahogany comb!
She remembered...she had ordered Faner to notify Kong Qing to investigate.
As if he had found a place to vent, Ruan Youqing left the mansion and went straight to a small courtyard in a deep alley on the edge of the city.
After Kong Qing opened the door with a sleepy two-year-old child in his arms, Ruan Youqing realized that it was already midnight.
Heart trembled slightly, Ruan Youqing was about to apologize, but Kong Qing changed her laziness just now, her eyes suddenly cleared up, and she said happily, "Miss, why are you here!"
As she spoke, she hurriedly invited Ruan Youqing into the courtyard.
Although the small courtyard fell in the night, Ruan Youqing could still see that the small courtyard was neatly tidied up by Kong Qing.
"Where's your good brother?" After sitting down, Ruan Youqing asked teasingly when she saw that there was no one else in her house.
Kong Qing, who is already a young woman, squeezed a smile, and replied without any shyness: "He is on duty tonight, did you come out today and look at him?"
Ruan Youqing said solemnly: "I jumped over the wall today, he probably didn't notice."
Kong Qing turned around and put down the sleeping child, and then continued: "It's so late, what is the important thing for Miss to come to Kong Qing?"
Ruan Youqing nodded, and got straight to the point: "I asked Faner to contact you earlier, and asked you to thoroughly investigate the origins of all the maids and servants in the mansion. Also, take care of all my belongings...do you find anything?"
"After receiving Fan'er's letter, Kong Qing went to investigate immediately. And... indeed, he found some. More than a month ago, Kong Qing thoroughly investigated all the maids and servants and... guards in the palace. At that time, no one was found. A person with a suspicious identity. Until one heavy rain, when Kongqing was hiding from the rain in your room, he found a sneaky little maid outside the house, and asked her what she was doing, she said him. Kongqing saw that she was not telling the truth , I have no choice but to lock her up first, and wait for you to come back for interrogation, Miss." At this point, Kong Qing stepped forward, rubbed her shoulders habitually and continued: "I wanted to go to the mansion to report to you tomorrow morning , let you take a good rest. In the end...you came to find Kong Qing personally..."
Because Kong Qing's prostitution contract was returned to her by Ruan Youqing when she got married, so she no longer called herself a slave in front of Ruan Youqing. And she herself didn't like the title "Nujia", so after getting Ruan Youqing's permission, she directly called herself by her name in front of Ruan Youqing.
Ruan Youqing was also delighted to see that she had her own identity.
Hearing Kong Qing's report at this time, Ruan Youqing turned cold: "That person wants to go to my room?"
「It looks like...it seems like they want to sneak into your room.」
Ruan Youqing had an idea in mind, and continued to warn: "Keep watching people closely."
After finishing speaking, she stood up, walked to the bed, and bent down to look at Kong Qing's sleeping child.
The two-year-old child fell asleep peacefully at this time, with his fingers in his mouth, and seemed to be still sipping with relish.
"This child is like you." After seeing the child, Ruan Youqing calmed down rarely. Seeing that the child was white and soft, he couldn't help reaching out and gently poking the bulging tender flesh on his cheek.
Kong Qing also put away the sharpness just now, and now she looks like a gentle mother, looking at her child with love in her eyes.
"His eyes are actually more like his father's." Kong Qing said softly with a smile.
After taking a few more glances, Ruan Youqing stood up straight and walked out, and asked softly as he walked, "Have you had any difficulties recently?"
Kong Qing expressed gratitude: "It's impossible for someone who came out of the Ruan Mansion to have difficulties. Kong Qing would like to thank the young miss for caring and taking care of her."
"Okay, there's no need to say those polite words. Coming to see you tonight is also disturbing your rest. You should go back quickly." Ruan Youqing looked back at her with a smile, and then said: "By the way, take me to see that person tomorrow Is it convenient?"
"Miss, don't worry, tomorrow I will send the child to my mother-in-law, and I will have time to go back home."
After Ruan Youqing nodded, he waved at her to signal her to go back.
Kong Qing insisted on watching her figure disappear into the distance before turning around and returning home.
With something to do, Ruan Youqing is not as anxious and irritable as before.
Reluctantly went to play chess with Duke Zhou.
…
Due to sleeping late, it was already late when Ruan You woke up. Fan Er came to tell her that Kong Qing was already waiting outside after seeing her get up.
Ruan Youqing immediately regained his spirits after hearing this. After tidying himself up neatly, he immediately followed Kong Qing to the place where the maid was being imprisoned.
After pushing open the door, a stench hit people's heads.
Ruan Youqing took a few steps back in disgust, frowned and said, "Is this the place where the maid was imprisoned?"
A trace of helplessness flashed in Kong Qing's eyes: "She is deliberately disgusting us, so that we can let her go earlier."
"So...sloppy on purpose?" Ruan Youqing covered her mouth and nose, and looked up at the maid in the room.
I saw that the girl's originally fair face was already covered with ashes, and her facial features were unrecognizable because of the ferocious expression, and the original goose-yellow clothes were also covered with filth by her at this time.
After hearing the sound of the door opening, she raised her head with a slightly excited expression:
"You let me out! Is this how the Ruan family treats their servants! They are not treated like human beings! They are also raised by parents, so why should you be more noble than us! You should let me go! Otherwise... I will sue the imperial court Say you kill innocent people indiscriminately!"
Ruan Youqing was stunned by her series of indignant words for a moment, then smiled softly, and said, "Our Ruan family...how did you treat you?"
The servant girl snorted coldly: "Why do you lock me here! I just... just stayed outside your room for a while! You abused me like this!"
Ruan Youqing raised his eyebrows in surprise for being so righteous.
It is... There is such a rascal servant.
There is no rule at all, and I don’t know where I heard some words, so I feel that I can threaten others.
Ruan Youqing gently stroked the broken hair falling from her ears, turned around and said slowly, "Kong Qing, take her to the execution hall in our house. Didn't she say that we abused her? Then... let her see what It's abuse."
