[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Rong Enqing was also delighted after hearing what Zhang said, and immediately said with a smile: "It would be great if we could ask our in-laws to help us. I just don't know if it would be too much trouble for them."

Zhang said calmly, "Don't worry, mother. I will bring Yun Ye back in two days, and this will surely be accomplished."

Rong Enqing nodded: "That's good. When the time comes, prepare a backup of the generous gifts. It won't be good for my in-laws to work in vain."

Zhang didn't refuse and answered readily, "Yes."

"Oh, by the way, I have already given the order. Someone will deliver the account books and keys of the mansion to you at Tingzhu Courtyard in a little while. Check the accounts and go to Butler Li if you have any questions. The mansion will be handed over to you from now on."

Rong Enqing smiled and said, "Also, I will ask someone to move the yard in a while. You can also help Yun Ye to pack up, and when I move out, move his things in. If you need anything, just go to the warehouse and look for it. From now on, Qinghui Hall will be handed over to Yun Ye."

Seeing that Zhang and Yun Ye wanted to say something, Rong Enqing quickly waved his hand to stop them, "I know what you want to say. I'm not in a hurry, I just want to quickly resolve these trivial matters so that I can start a new life with ease."

Seeing Rong Enqing's frank attitude and sincere words, Zhang's expression relaxed slightly and she promised seriously: "Don't worry, mother. I will do my best to manage the mansion in the future and not let you worry about trivial matters."

Rong Enqing looked at Zhang with satisfaction and nodded, "Okay, I like to hear that."

Yun Ye also said, "Grandma, please rest assured and enjoy your old age. In the future, the Marquis' Mansion will be supported by your grandson, and you will not have to worry about anything."

"Okay, okay." Rong Enqing smiled happily.

As far as the Marquis' Mansion was concerned, she really had nothing to worry about.

What remains is the study of causal value.

After seeing off Zhang's mother and son, Rong Enqing asked someone to help him move.

Because when I was packing up these few days, some of the things that were not often used had already been moved to Baishoutang one after another, so it took less than half a day to move all the things that were left to be moved.

Rong Enqing followed him to Baishou Hall to take a look. Meixiang was standing in the courtyard in charge of the overall situation. The servants were moving things. Four maids were leading the servants to arrange household items and utensils according to Meixiang's instructions.

The small Baishou Hall was extremely busy.

Rong Enqing stood at the gate of the courtyard for a while, but didn't go in to make trouble. He was just thinking about whether to go for a walk in the garden when he saw Butler Li coming over.

"What's up?"

Butler Li didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point: "Madam, the servants we locked up before will be sold out tomorrow. That is, Aunt Zhang, who served you before, said she wanted to see you again."

"Okay, let's go. After all, he has been with me for decades, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to meet him." Rong Enqing thought about it and didn't refuse.

It just so happened that she also wanted to see if she could find some clues about causal values ​​from Aunt Zhang and the others. Perhaps she could also use these people to experiment and see if they could actively generate causal values.

At first, Rong Enqing cleared out nine people from Qinghui Hall, and Steward Li cleared out more than a dozen people from the outer courtyard, a total of more than 20 people. Among them, there were eight men, and the rest were all women.

The men were kept in one room, while the women were kept in two separate rooms.

Rong Enqing arrived at the courtyard where she was imprisoned and was led to the main hall. Soon, two servants escorted Aunt Zhang to see her.

It has only been four days since I last saw her, but Aunt Zhang, who was originally a little plump, has lost a lot of weight.

Seeing Rong Enqing, Aunt Zhang fell to her knees, tears streaming down her face as she said, "Madam, I was wrong! I was really wrong! I shouldn't have been so obsessed as to turn to the Second Master.

"But I didn't do anything to harm the Madam! I just revealed the Madam's news to the Second Master a few times. I didn't do anything too extreme!

"Madam, please forgive me for the fact that I came with you as a dowry from the Rong family. Madam, please!"

As Aunt Zhang spoke, she kowtowed to Rong Enqing. Soon, red appeared on her forehead.

Rong Enqing sighed. In Nanny Zhang's opinion, she was just tipping off and did not cause any actual harm to Rong Enqing.

However, according to the original body's memory, if it were not for Nanny Zhang's tip-off, none of the memorials that the original body had sent to the palace in the three years after Yun Zhen's death would have reached Emperor Taihe.

Rong Enqing is not a indecisive person. Since he has already decided to sell her out, there is no reason to let her go.

But she really wanted to see if there would be any causal value if she spared her.

So, he said, "Okay, stop knocking. Considering that you have served me for decades, I can forgive you this time."

Hearing this, Aunt Zhang raised her head in surprise and looked at Rong Enqing with hope in her eyes, "Really?"

Rong Enqing said to the butler Li standing beside him, "Take her away, release her husband and son, and return the contract of sale to them."

Nanny Zhang's eyes flashed with ecstasy, and she kowtowed to Rong Enqing several times, "Thank you, Madam. Thank you, Madam!"

Butler Li frowned, his face full of disapproval, but he did not refute Rong Enqing's words. He just hesitated and said, "Madam, the property..."

The laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty stipulated that slaves belonged to their masters, and the master had the power to decide the life and death of the slaves, and property was naturally no exception.

Nanny Zhang also looked at Rong Enqing nervously. It was a great joy to get a contract to sell one's body and escape from slavery. But if they had no money, they would not know how to survive after leaving the mansion. They only hoped that Rong Enqing would be a good person and return the money they had accumulated over the years.

Rong Enqing frowned and said, "Leave them three taels of silver, and confiscate the rest. Just consider it as the money for redeeming their family of three."

"Yes." Butler Li responded with a smile and winked at the two servants. The two servants understood and quickly dragged away Aunt Zhang who was still begging for mercy.

The moment the servant turned around with Nanny Zhang, Rong Enqing began to stare at the top of Nanny Zhang's head with wide eyes.

No!

Until the person was taken away and disappeared, she did not see any clues from Nanny Zhang's head.

Obviously, she failed.

Aunt Zhang begged for mercy, and she forgave him. In a sense, it could be considered a causal relationship, right? But it was useless.

Obviously, not all causal relationships will produce causal values.

So, how is causal value generated?

Rong Enqing sat in the hall, thinking silently.

Aunt Zhang and her gang betrayed her. Then she sold them out. Thus, the causal value was generated.

The situation of the second wife was similar. They both first developed ill will towards her and did evil things, and only after being punished by her did the causal value arise.

So, the generation of causal value is that there is evil first, then punishment, and finally the causal value?

Rong Enqing was disgusted by his own speculation.

Could it be that she looks like a masochist?

Does it mean that for the sake of karma, she has to wait until everyone has caused her trouble and found fault before she can take action to deal with them?

Oh my god, what kind of logic is this?
