The ancient martial arts master traveled through time
Chapter 15 Ruan Xiao9 Eavesdropping
Ruan Xiaojiu was walking on the street. People looked at her with strange expressions. Although she noticed it, she ignored it. The people around her were all insignificant.
She came to the restaurant again. The waiter was very enthusiastic. Ruan Xiaojiu sat in the same seat as last time and ordered a table full of delicious food. While waiting, Ruan Xiaojiu was bored and listened to some gossip.
They were actually talking about the General's Mansion. How come the common people have nothing else to do? It would be fine if people were talking about trivial matters in the streets, but even in the restaurant they were discussing matters of the General's Mansion. Isn't that a bit too gossipy? What boring people they are.
They mentioned Ye Ting Shen again. Ruan Xiaojiu was impatient just now, but now she suddenly became interested. She had profound skills and it was very easy for her to eavesdrop on the corner. The voices from the next room were obviously spoken deliberately for Ruan Xiaojiu to hear, and they were clearly heard by Ruan Xiaojiu.
The general meaning of the next door is: The emperor was cheated out of 500,000 taels of gold by Yaowang Valley because the General's Mansion offended the people of Yaowang Valley. The General's Mansion could not pay the money, so the emperor had to pay it on behalf of the General's Mansion. He claimed to the outside world that he did this to help the General's Mansion solve its problems. The emperor was very dissatisfied with the General's Mansion because of this. Giving money on behalf of the General's Mansion this time can be regarded as a repayment to the Ruan family for helping the Rong family build the empire. It can be regarded as a righteous act and a worthy of the late emperor.
But secretly, the emperor hated the general's mansion. This amount was almost half of the national treasury! The emperor was also distressed.
It is said that the general's mansion also let the enemy country's god of war Ye Tingshen go. When the emperor found out, although he was very angry, he did not punish the old general. I don't know what the emperor was up to.
On the surface, the emperor treated the General's Mansion well, but behind the scenes he allowed people from Yaowang Valley to assassinate the General's Mansion several times, and he did not care.
It was also mentioned that the Fifth Princess became ill after returning from Ye Tingshen. Since Concubine Xian could not do anything to the General's Mansion, she could only settle the score with Ye Tingshen. However, when she wanted to cause trouble for Ye Tingshen again, she found that he had been taken away by Ruan Xiaojiu from the General's Mansion.
Empress Xian had no choice but to endure it despite her reluctance. However, seeing her daughter suffering from illness day by day and becoming mentally dazed, Empress Xian felt heartbroken and cried all day long. She couldn't help but feel angry and hated Ruan Xiaojiu to the core, but she could not find an outlet to vent her anger.
Finally, she thought of Ye Tingshen again. Concubine Xian begged the emperor to let her go to Ye Tingshen to vent her anger again, otherwise it would be difficult to relieve the depression in her heart. The emperor saw that Concubine Xian had indeed become much more haggard these days, so he had no choice but to agree.
But when Concubine Xian arrived at the General's Mansion, news just then spread that Ye Tingshen had escaped. This made Concubine Xian even more resentful. She didn't believe that Ye Tingshen had escaped on his own, and must have been let go by the General's Mansion. She returned to the palace in a rage.
Ruan Xiaojiu was no longer in the mood to listen. When she heard that Ye Tingshen had run away, her first reaction was that it was impossible. These people must have spread rumors. If she continued to listen, she might lose control and kill those people.
Still, she was affected. She thought the General's Mansion was full of assassins, so she didn't care about Ye Tingshen, and that he was mistaken for a member of the General's Mansion and killed. After all, he was a captive of Qingfeng, and he didn't dare to use force in Qingfeng. So he was a weakling in Qingfeng, a weakling who could be bullied. But now what she heard was different from her own guess, and it drove Ruan Xiaojiu crazy.
By this time the food had arrived. Ruan Xiaojiu suppressed the irritability in his heart and calmed himself down. Of all things in the world, eating was the most important. Ruan Xiaojiu turned his anger into appetite, eating and eating until he was full. After a while, he devoured everything in his sight...
After calling the shop assistant and settling the bill, Ruan Xiaojiu hurried back to the general's mansion. She wanted to ask the old general what was going on. She couldn't wait to know where Ye Tingshen had gone. She only believed three-tenths of what she heard from outside. She wanted to hear the truth from the old general with her own ears.
When Ruan Xiaojiu came back, the mansion had been almost cleaned up. Strength lies in numbers, and work can be done especially quickly when there are many people.
Ruan Xiaojiu had just entered the courtyard when she ran into Butler Luo, who was still busy directing others to move things. Seeing Ruan Xiaojiu, he stepped forward to greet her and said, "Miss, you just went out. Is there anything wrong? If you have anything, just tell me. It's dangerous outside now. Don't go out alone. If you meet people from Yaowang Valley outside, I'm worried about you."
Ruan Xiaojiu had something on her mind, so she was not in a good mood. She knew that Butler Luo was doing this for her own good and was concerned about her, but she was upset and couldn't hear anything, so her words were rather harsh. The domineering nature in her bones was immediately revealed, and she said: Why do you talk so much? Just take care of your own business, and don't meddle in my affairs.
It would be a lie to say that Butler Luo didn't feel upset when he heard Ruan Xiaojiu say this, but Ruan Xiaojiu had always been like this since he was a child, with an unpredictable temper and violence. He was used to it and just said, "Yes," and went on with his own business silently.
Ruan Xiaojiu returned to her yard and saw that the old general and Ruan Jun'an were still sleeping. She felt annoyed, but she couldn't really wake them up forcefully. Ever since she had a little love for them, she actually had the word "can't bear"!
After thinking about it, she decided to wait until the old general woke up before asking him. She didn't mind the time.
Ruan Xiaojiu found a corner and sat down alone, thinking back to what she had heard at the restaurant. If the old emperor was really like what others said, then wouldn't the people in her general's mansion have a hard time in this capital? How could that be? Ruan Xiaojiu's family couldn't let others oppress them and live their lives.
Ruan Xiaojiu sneered, with a blue light flashing in his eyes. Was he too kind? He gave them some illusion that made them run to him and act wild again and again.
And Yaowang Valley, I really don’t know where you get the confidence from. You are a bunch of bugs, and you dare to provoke me. It seems that the lesson I taught Yaowang Valley last time was not enough. Don’t force me to go on a killing spree.
Time passed quickly and it was evening. The old general slowly opened his eyes. He was a little confused for a moment and was dazed for a while before he remembered what happened before going to bed.
He touched the injured area, which was well bandaged and didn't hurt much. He sat up and moved around a bit. Some of the old wounds had scabbed over. This wasn't a dream. Xiaojiu had really woken up and saved himself and the entire general's mansion. The old general was excited and shouted outside, "Lao Luo..."
Butler Luo was standing not far away outside. When he heard the old general calling him, he quickly ran to the house and replied: "I'm here!"
As he said that, he pushed open the door and entered the room. Seeing the old general sitting on the bed looking much more energetic, he felt relieved. The mansion had been in turmoil these days and they had to be on guard against sneak attacks and assassinations. Butler Luo was worried all day long.
