Abandoned Woman Busy Farming

The eunuch in charge of the Internal Affairs Department hurriedly came out, wiping cold sweat and said to go check it out immediately.

The emperor raised the thin page of paper in his hands towards Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu, and said, "Jiang Aiqing and his wife, please come and read the letter to see if it is Mrs. Jiang's handwriting."

Jiang Yichun glanced at Bai Ruozhu and told her not to worry, and then led her forward together. After reading the letter, both of them couldn't help but change their expressions.

It was so similar that if it weren't for the sentences being so cheesy, Bai Ruozhu would have thought she had written them herself.

Seeing the change in Jiang Yichun's expression, Emperor Wu Ning put a sneer on his lips and said, "Flies don't bite seamless eggs, Jiang Aiqing, is this letter really not written by your wife?"

Bai Ruozhu looked at Jiang Yichun with some worry. Even she would admit her mistake. Could Jiang Yichun have misunderstood?

But soon Jiang Yichun's brows widened, with a sarcastic smile on his lips.

"Reply to Your Majesty, this letter was definitely not written by my wife, but the imitation of the handwriting was so similar that it surprised me." Jiang Yichun said.

"Oh? How did you tell the difference?" The emperor suspected that Jiang Yichun was deliberately shielding Bai Ruozhu.

Jiang Yichun took the letter paper, pointed to the word "Yue" on it, and said: "Your Majesty, please look at this word. My wife has a writing problem. The two points on her head are written upside down. It's not like she can't recognize it on weekdays." After she came out, I didn't deliberately correct her, which can be seen from my wife's manuscript."

Bai Ruozhu looked at Jiang Yichun in surprise. She didn't know that Jiang Yichun's observations were so subtle. She was used to writing simplified Chinese characters. She could also practice traditional Chinese characters here, but the two dots on the top of the simplified characters were inverted characters, while the traditional characters were regular characters. She can write the eight characters and other complex ones, but she always forgets this.

So she wrote "joy" instead of the "joy" in the letter.

Bai Ruozhu turned around and smiled at Jiang Yichun. She was very happy that he did not doubt her, and even more happy that he paid careful attention to every detail of her.

Jiang Yichun could say this, and the emperor already believed it seven or eight times, while Concubine Liu was gritting her teeth beside her, secretly cursing the person who copied it not carefully enough, how could she miss such a detail? It's a pity that she didn't know that Bai Ruozhu's notes they obtained did not contain the word "two nods".

After a while, the chief eunuch came back, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and knelt down in front of the emperor with a bang, "The slave is incompetent and failed to manage his subordinates well. We just found a eunuch who committed suicide by hanging from a beam. He was just an eunuch like the Secretary of Internal Affairs, but he was wearing The clothes of the eunuch in charge are probably the one Mrs. Jiang mentioned."

Death without evidence?

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun glanced at each other. It seemed that they had thought of something together.

Today is the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother, and with so many ministers and official family members present, it cannot be a special event for investigating crimes. Emperor Wu Ning weighed it, and finally asked people to send Li Yuande back to receive a lesson, and then asked Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu. I promise, I will check it out later and the matter will be over for the time being.

Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun thanked them, and they were sensible enough not to mention it again. This matter involved Concubine Liu, and the emperor would be very embarrassed.

It wasn't until the birthday banquet was over that Bai Ruozhu breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that something would happen again, especially assassinations and rebellions, which she really couldn't bear.

On the carriage back, Jiang Yichun hugged Bai Ruozhu tightly and said apologetically: "Madam, bringing you and Dengdeng to Beijing really hurts you."

"Fool, we are a family. There is nothing wrong with us. I had to go out to repair that screen today and took away Mei Liu's opportunity to attract the emperor's attention. That's why I got into trouble." Bai Ruozhu said nonchalantly, as before. Compared with many things I have experienced, what happened today is really not thrilling.

"Maybe Liu Meiren's incident was just a cover. I'm not happy that you repaired the screen." Jiang Yichun said in a low voice.

"I don't want to worry about it so much. Let's keep this account in mind first. Why should we mess with someone who is not easy for the emperor to deal with?" Bai Ruozhu stretched greatly, "Go back and hug your son and have a good sleep. We will start packing tomorrow. , get ready to go home!”

When it came to going home, Bai Ruozhu was in high spirits and her tone was full of excitement.

Jiang Yichun's mood was also lifted up, but when he thought of returning to Beiyu City to face his master, his heart sank again.

In the next few days, Bai Ruozhu didn't go out to buy anything, and left it directly to the steward below. She played with Dengdeng at home. The red rash on Dengdeng's face became lighter and lighter, but she still looked at it. It was obvious that Bai Ruozhu was afraid of causing trouble and had been very careful to hide Deng Deng's situation.

Even Li Wanhua, who has the best relationship, came twice and never saw Deng Deng, and only heard the child's laughter.

About the fifth day after the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the Queen Mother summoned Bai Ruozhu into the palace again.

This time the Queen Mother gave Bai Ruozhu a pearl shirt, which was made of large South Sea pearls and was very expensive.

"Just accept it. This is what you deserve. On the one hand, you helped the Meng family that day, which can be considered a good thing. On the other hand, the bed curtain you gave me is very much what I wanted. I don't want to do it in public." I reward you too much, so let me reward you once for your good deeds." The Queen Mother's tone was more cordial, and she still only called herself "I" this time.

Bai Ruozhu hurriedly saluted and thanked her, and happily accepted the Queen Mother's reward.

"As for Li Yuande's matter, it has now been found out. A female official next to Liu Meiren hated you for repairing the screen and affected her master's performance, so she ordered the eunuch to deceive you. The emperor has already punished her severely. And Li Yuande, I'm afraid I can't get out of bed for a month." When the Queen Mother mentioned Li Yuande, hatred flashed in her eyes.

Bai Ruozhu understood immediately that even if Princess Yushan did not tell the emperor, she must have told the Queen Mother that Li Yuande wanted to molest her. No wonder the Queen Mother became closer to her.

As for Li Yuande, he probably won't be able to get out of bed for the rest of his life. No matter how charitable and generous the Queen Mother is, she will never let go of such a bastard who wants to harm her daughter.

"It's good to clarify things, but I still can't figure out who copied my handwriting?" Bai Ruozhu asked deliberately.

The Queen Mother looked a little dazed, and sighed and said: "There are many things in Beijing that you can't understand. You are leaving Beijing soon, but I heard from the Emperor that you will come back in a year at most, and there will be many things for you to do by then. I slowly got used to it.”

Bai Ruozhu nodded, "Ruozhu, thank you Queen Mother for your advice."

Not long after Bai Ruozhu left the palace and returned to the courtyard, the emperor's reward also arrived. The main reason was that he was plotted by Diao Nu that day, and the emperor gave him some reward to calm his shock.

Sure enough, the emperor had nothing to do with Concubine Liu and General Liu, so he could only appease them.

Bai Ruozhu thought to himself that he had made a lot of money, which was a blessing in disguise, so he happily packed his luggage. Three days later, the family left the capital and returned the same way.
