When it comes to arresting someone of Mrs. Ruan's status, they can't do it the same way they normally do when arresting criminals.

The captain of the police bowed respectfully and then narrated the whole story.

When Mrs. Ruan heard the name Cui'er, her smile became strange.

She forced herself to smile, but it looked uglier than crying.

Mrs. Yuan came here to have fun, but after seeing Mrs. Ruan's expression, her smile became meaningful.

Could it be... that there is something more fun than accusing Mrs. Ruan?

When the captain of the police told the whole story, Mrs. Ruan couldn't even keep up her fake smile.

His face was extremely ugly. He snorted coldly and said in a stern voice, "She is just a maid. Whatever she says is the truth? Just because of the family of a maid who made a mistake, our Lord arrested me and sent me to the government? Humph, may I ask where Lord Lu puts the Ruan family? Do you take the Zhan Palace seriously?"

The head constable bowed and said, "Madam Ruan, I am just doing paperwork. This is an order from Lord Lu. Please don't make things difficult for me."

"Humph, if I go with you, what will they think of me? What will they think of our Ruan family? I won't go."

“I’m afraid that’s inappropriate.”

Mrs. Ruan glared coldly and said, "It would be inappropriate for me to go."

As she spoke, she looked at Mrs. Yuan and said, "I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Mrs. Yuan smiled awkwardly.

Madam Ruan said, "More than ten years ago, my family did have a maid named Cui'er. But that maid committed a serious mistake, so I ordered her to be beaten and driven away. Humph, I didn't expect that she would hold a grudge against me. After more than ten years, she ran back to take revenge on me. I guess you, Yuan Kong, are also a servant who committed a mistake and was sold or beaten and driven away, right?"

"That's true."

"Right, everyone does. Tell me, if one day a maid suddenly went to the yamen to beat the drum and complain about her injustice, and Lord Lu sent people to arrest you, would you go with them?"

Madam Yuan said, "That's definitely not possible. Even if I'm right, I can't be arrested and taken to the government office. Those people who are just watching the excitement won't care whether you are right or wrong. As long as you go there, they will spread the news that you were arrested by the government, and you will lose face."

"Right, that's the truth. This is a precedent. How much trouble will we have in the future?"

Mrs. Yuan nodded and thought it made sense.

She said to the clerk, "Did you hear me? For the sake of Mrs. Ruan's reputation, she will not go with you."

"Ah? These two ladies are making things difficult for me. How can I judge the case if you don't go?"

Madam Ruan said, "How about this, please ask Lord Lu to bring the maid to the mansion to examine Madam."

She was thinking, she was just a maid.

As long as she got to her own house and closed the door, and made some arrangements, would she still be afraid that the maid would cause some trouble?

It just so happens that the Great Chu State also has such a case.

Women of noble status cannot be taken to the hall like ordinary people.

It is also possible to come directly to your house for trial.

"Then I will take this message back to you, my Lord."

"Thank you for your help, bro."

After the clerk left, Mrs. Ruan tried hard to force a smile and said, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mrs. Yuan."

Mrs. Yuan responded with an awkward smile. She said words of support, but in her mind, she had already started digging up gossip about the Ruan family's past.

Lord Ruan is a man of integrity, with only one wife and one concubine.

I heard that the concubine was also Mrs. Ruan’s sister.

She had only heard about these things from others back then.

Mrs. Ruan's sister was a low-key person who never showed up in public, and soon no one could find her.

No one in the capital had ever mentioned her, and many people didn't even know that Lord Ruan had a concubine.

It was not until last year that it was revealed that the Ruan family had two daughters, and the two daughters were married off on the same day, and the younger daughter married the prince of Prince Gong's Mansion. Only then did they realize that Lord Ruan was the son of a concubine and had a daughter.

But the concubine has been dead for more than ten years.

Now it seems that the death of the concubine is closely related to Madam Ruan.

Even though she denied it, Mrs. Yuan could already see that she was panicking and scared.

Yamen.

Liu An and Cui Er were waiting nervously in the tea room.

Lord Lu was also waiting in the lounge next door. While he was waiting, someone came hurriedly and handed a letter to Lord Lu.

An unsigned letter.

Lord Lu, "Who sent it?"

"A beggar, he said this letter can help you solve your doubts."

Upon hearing this, Lord Lu hurriedly opened the envelope.

After reading the letter, he was indeed cleared up.

It turned out that Prince Zhan wanted to divorce Princess Zhan. This was obviously something Prince Zhan did personally in order to justify the divorce.

Using this method for the King of War is like crossing the river and destroying the bridge.

I thought to myself: When Miss Ruan got married last year, you were almost dying.

He was successful in his celebration and can be considered your savior. It is really despicable that you are plotting against him like this.

Of course, it would be another story if what the maid said was true.

He was afraid that the maid was deliberately arranged by the War King, and that he had no idea about it, which would be a serious crime.

This letter... huh?

Lord Lu suddenly realized that the letter, which had clear handwriting just now, was now empty.

There are no written words, only faint traces, and they are still disappearing.

Lord Lu: “…”

At this time, the yamen runner came back and said, "Sir, Madam Ruan is not coming."

"Not coming?"

"Yes."

In fact, Lord Lu also guessed that he might not be able to come.

"She said that if anyone said something unfounded, she would have to come to the government office to cooperate. Then the Ruan family would lose face. What do you think we should do?"

Lord Lu calmly drank a sip of tea, stood up, patted the dust off his clothes and said, "Let's go, arrange for the people, and go to the Ruan Mansion together."

"Yes, sir."

"Remember, everyone change into casual clothes."

"yes."

Although the King of War intervened, the face that should be given to Lord Ruan was still given.

Cui'er was notified to go to Ruan's house, and she was a little nervous.

Liu An comforted her and said, "Don't be afraid, we are still the lady."

Cui'er nodded, and then went to Ruan's house with Liu An.

Seeing Lord Lu leading a group of people towards the Ruan family, Ruan Xinchen also stood up.

"Come on, let's go too."

On the other side, Chu Li patted the wheelchair and said, "Ling Lie, go to Ruan's house."

"yes."

"Notify the people in the mansion to bring Ruan Yihe here."

"Yes, Your Highness."

…

Thirteen years have passed since she left the Ruan Mansion. When Cui'er sets foot here again, she feels as if she is in another world.

In fact, the layout is still the same, but the flowers and plants here have changed a lot, and the trees have become much bigger.

Seeing Mrs. Ruan, whom she feared and hated, again, she felt mixed emotions.

It turns out that she has grown old and is no longer as beautiful as she used to be.

However, it is still as dominant as before, even more so than before.

When Mrs. Ruan's sharp gaze came over, Cui'er was still not as scared as before.

In fact, she had been somewhat afraid of Mrs. Ruan since she was a child.

At that time, she was still the eldest daughter of the Cui family.

More than once she was thankful that she was serving the second young lady instead of the eldest young lady.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for many years. You've gained a lot of weight, little girl." Mrs. Ruan said to Cui'er directly with sarcasm.
