Traveling back to ancient times begins with the use of stone tools

The mother and daughter followed the maid to the inner courtyard without looking away.

There were many maids and old women coming and going in the inner courtyard, but they were all very well-behaved and did not pay much attention to the two.

Leng Ruoxue thought as she walked, is it worth hiring someone just for a broken embroidery?

The people from the Leng Mansion were all sent by Nangong Yi. Logically, Nangong Yi's people could have helped stop them, but they didn't.

Ha ha.

Leng Ruoxue didn't want to think too much.

Is it to show his power? The emperor's marriage indeed made his backer unhappy.

Do I have the ability to resist? No.

We still need to expand our own power.

I was thinking all the way until I arrived at the place, "I'm finally here, please take a seat"

A beautiful middle-aged woman with a...very enthusiastic attitude.

Without even saying hello, he asked the two to sit down.

"I have no choice. Your house didn't accept the visiting card, and the lady was anxious, so I had to ask someone to wait in the house to receive the guest. Please don't blame me, Madam Liu."

The two confused people did not reply.

"Those two embroidery pieces were embroidered by Madam Liu herself?"

"Yes"

When Liu Ruxu saw the damaged embroidery, she knew that she was the one who caused the trouble and she couldn't let her daughter be implicated, so she quickly confessed.

"Then does Madam have any impression of this handkerchief?"

The beautiful woman called a maid over, who was carrying a tray with an old handkerchief on it.

Liu Ruxu picked up the handkerchief and looked at it for a while. "This is my handkerchief. How did it end up in your hands?"

"Since Madam knows this handkerchief, then there is a person, do you know him?"

The beautiful woman nodded to the maid, and the maid brought someone in.

A girl about ten years old in fancy clothes, "Aunt".

The girl bowed to the beautiful woman.

"Pearl, sit down."

The beautiful woman asked the girl to sit down.

The girl was about to sit down when she suddenly jumped up and asked, "Why are you here?"

Liu Ruxu:……

Leng Ruoxue:……

The girl's face was full of disbelief.

How did two village girls end up in Duke Qin's mansion? Is this a place they can come to?

"Mother, you are not dead?"

The girl's eyes rolled quickly, and she hugged Liu Ruxu's legs and started crying.

Liu Ruxu looked at Leng Ruoxue: Who is this?

Leng Ruoxue: Mother, you have a daughter?

"Mother, I'm glad you're all right. Are my father and brother okay too?"

The girl held Liu Ruxu's legs tightly and refused to let go.

"This lady...I'm afraid you recognized the wrong person."

Liu Ruxu looked at the beautiful woman awkwardly.

She only has one daughter and one son. As soon as this brother mentioned this, Liu Ruxu knew that the lady had recognized the wrong person.

Leng Ruoxue also thought at first that the girl had recognized the wrong person.

But, my mother said that this handkerchief belonged to her...it belonged to my mother, my father, and my brother...

"Are you Wang Zhenzhu?"

Leng Ruoxue didn't know if it was as she guessed, so she asked tentatively.

"Sister Ruoxue, do you still remember me?"

The girl stopped crying and looked at Leng Ruoxue.

Leng Ruoxue: I remember nothing. Leng Yuxuan told me how the Wang family bullied me, my mother and my brother. When this person came, he was surprised to see me and my mother, and he recognized Liu Ruxu at first sight.

"Are you Wang Zhenzhu?"

Liu Ruxu calmly pulled the person off her lap and looked him over.

When she was in Wangjia Village, Wang Zhenzhu was yellow and thin, with hatred in her eyes and ragged clothes.

The contrast between it and the gorgeous clothes I wear now, which are white and tender, is so great that I couldn’t match it up for a moment.

If Ruoxue hadn't called out the name, Liu Ruxu wouldn't have remembered this person.

Her father...brother...really matched.

"Don't recognize your mother randomly, my mother and your father have divorced."

Leng Ruoxue pulled Wang Zhenzhu away.

"No, no, in Pearl's heart, her mother is her biological mother."

Wang Zhenzhu reacted quickly and explained it to herself.

"When I was fleeing from famine, my father sold me. At that time, I had no father. Fortunately, I was bought by my cousin's family. Later, because of my mother's handkerchief, I was found by the Wei family. When they asked about your whereabouts, I thought you were dead..."

Before Wang Zhenzhu finished her words, an old lady came in surrounded by people.

"Yu'er, my Yu'er!"

The old lady looked at Liu Ruxu with tears in her eyes.

When Liu Ruxu saw the old lady, she stood up suddenly, then fell down softly.

Leng Ruoxue hurriedly supported her mother to prevent her from getting hurt.

"Quick, quick, carry me to the yard and ask for the imperial physician."

The old lady was panicked, and Leng Ruoxue was also panicked.

A group of people surrounded Liu Ruxu and walked away.

Seeing this, Wang Zhenzhu quietly returned to her own yard.

He packed up his valuable jewelry and banknotes and hid them on himself.

"Don't follow me, I'm going to see my mother, it's too crowded."

Wang Zhenzhu dismissed the maids and servants who followed her.

The maids and old women didn't dare to follow, because everyone knew that the lady doted on the cousin.

The entire Weiguo Mansion dotes on her.

Seeing that no one was following her, Wang Zhenzhu ran to the gatehouse in the backyard and was about to leave.

"Miss, you can't go out."

Without the mistress's order, female members of the family are not allowed to go out of the backyard at will.

Wang Zhenzhu slapped the mother-in-law in the face and said, "My mother fainted, and my grandmother asked for a doctor. You stopped me and delayed my mother's stay. Are you responsible for this?"

The usually gentle cousin suddenly became fierce. The old woman was stunned and didn't dare to stop her.

Wang Zhenzhu then went out and found a carriage. She lied that someone in her family was seriously ill and she had to rush back. She gave the driver a silver note worth 100 taels and asked him to leave the city quickly.

Seeing that it was getting late, he stopped the carriage and said, "Let's go find an inn."

The coachman was also a worldly-wise man. The young lady was alone and in a hurry. She wanted to leave the city and then find an inn to stay in.

He stopped the carriage again from the noble area.

He didn't think his life was too long, so he turned the carriage around and went back in the direction he came from.

When they arrived at the noble area, they met patrolling soldiers and handed Wang Zhenzhu to them.

"Lady inside, which mansion are you from? Tell us your name now and we will send you back to your mansion. If you can't tell us your name, don't blame us, we will directly take you to Jingzhao Yin."

Although the soldiers didn't know what was going on, it was better not to touch such privacy.

He didn't even lift the curtain of the carriage, but asked questions directly through the curtain.

Wang Zhenzhu never expected that she would be handed over to the patrolling soldiers.

I was panicked for a moment.

Going to Jingzhao Yin means going to prison.

"Miss, please don't give out your name randomly. We will confirm with the mansion." The soldier heard no sound from inside for a long time and concluded that there was something private going on.

"I am from the Duke of Wei's Mansion"

I had no choice but to sign up.

Wang Zhenzhu, who had escaped for less than two incense sticks of time, was taken back to the Duke of Weiguo's Mansion.

After a while, two maids came out, lifted the curtain and took a look, "Our maid is lost, thank you for bringing her back, sir."

The old woman gave the coachman and patrol soldiers generous rewards.

He covered Wang Zhenzhu's face with a handkerchief and took her into the mansion.

"You did a good job, kid."

The patrolling soldier praised the driver, "You know what to say and what not to say!"

"I know. I didn't see anything today."

The driver was very polite and the patrolling soldiers left with satisfaction.
