Chapter 38 I'm afraid the whole of Kyoto knows about it
"Ruo'er, you are so naughty. If I hadn't followed you around for a year or so when you were a child practicing martial arts, I would have been disfigured by now."
"Let me tell you something. Mo Bao sent a message. I also brought some melon seeds. I have nothing to do today, so I'll keep you company."
Bu Ruo glanced at him and said, "Tell me what news you have quickly, and then get out of here quickly. Otherwise, I won't give you a single penny of the money you spent this month, and you'll just end up starving."
Jin Congcong's lifeline was successfully grasped, and he could only pout and sit down to get to the point.
"After you returned yesterday, the Crown Prince locked Princess Ji Yao in the courtyard. He sat in his study all night, thinking about something. This morning, he went to the palace to see the Emperor before the morning court session."
"I heard that the Marquis of Guangling also entered the palace this morning, not in his official uniform, but in white. After entering the court, he pointed at the Crown Prince's nose and started to curse, saying that the Crown Prince condoned the Crown Princess and helped his brother-in-law to bully men and women and harm children. He looked like he wanted to tear the Crown Prince apart on the spot. Even the Emperor could only whisper his words of advice."
"After Guangling Hou finished his madness, he tearfully explained that he had actually found clues a few days ago that proved that his twins were abducted by Ji Pei."
"He also said that Ruo'er just heard his wife mention it casually at the flower viewing banquet yesterday, and wanted to stand up for them, so he scared Ji Pei. This actually made the matter of Ruo'er seeing the twins go away."
Bu Ruo raised an eyebrow: "Did the emperor believe it?"
Jin Congcong coughed lightly twice, feeling somewhat guilty. "I believe it. After all, the Emperor has sent people to keep an eye on you and Prince Zhan all the time. The Emperor has also heard a little about your...poor mental state."
Bu Ruo clenched his fists until they crackled. "In fact, it's not just the Emperor who knows about this. I'm afraid the whole of Kyoto knows about it."
Jin Congcong knew he had let something slip, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, it's just... only a small number of people know about it, it's harmless, it's harmless."
Bu Ruo: ...
Jin Congcong looked at Bu Ruo's unfriendly expression and tried to gain sympathy with an innocent look.
"Actually, this matter can't be blamed on me. Didn't you go to the flower viewing banquet yesterday? I saw that you were not in good spirits and was worried that something might happen to you, so I asked the housekeeper to put away all the sharp objects in the mansion."
"I'm just worried that you might get hurt accidentally... It's unlikely that you'll hurt yourself, but I'm worried that you might accidentally hurt me."
"I don't know how this story got out. It spread all over Kyoto in just one day and one night. Honestly, I can't blame myself for this. It's just that people are too bored and gossipy."
"Ruo'er... Ruo'er, Ruo'er, don't be anxious. Don't, don't, don't fight. My master will be here tomorrow. By then, we'll cure the disease, and people outside won't say anything."
Jin Congcong hid at the door and sat on the steps and continued, "I haven't finished yet. Last night, the Minister of Justice took your stupid map and left the city overnight. He didn't come back until the court was dismissed today."
"I heard that when the officials returned to the city, they were followed by several carriages. I don't know what was pulling the carriages, and they were covered with white cloth. The old man, the Minister of Justice, had a very ugly face and went straight into the palace, and he seemed to be cursing."
Bu Ruo thought for a moment and said, "The carriage should contain the bones they dug out from the hill behind Ji Pei's villa... They are all children."
"That Ji Pei... deserves to die."
Jin Congcong thought of the two twins he saw yesterday, and his expression darkened. Then, he suddenly jumped in front of Bu Ruo for some unknown reason.
"Ruo'er, please help them and send those people and children who died unjustly to reincarnation, okay?"
"You are beautiful, kind-hearted, gentle, and a good family man. You will never stand idly by. You can definitely do it, right?"
Bu Ruo rolled her eyes and said, "Then you should go to Baotong Temple to find Master Fuyun, not me. I'm just an orphan, I don't have that much ability."
"Do you have anything else to do? If not, then hurry up and leave. If you really have nothing to do, go clean up the yard for your master. Otherwise, when Doctor Du arrives tomorrow, I will make him sleep in the same room with you."
Jin Congcong shuddered when he thought of his master's deafening snoring and his elegant sleeping posture that was comparable to that of a martial artist. He ran out crying, shouting as he ran.
"Uncle Butler, Uncle Butler, where are you? Do you have a yard suitable for an old man to live in? I need to clean it up and give it to my master to live in. It would be best if it is far away from my yard, as far away as possible."
Bu Ruo: ...
Bi'er suppressed a laugh: "I think Doctor Du is also eager to live farther away from Master Jin. They have been arguing a lot in the mountains for so many years, and sometimes they even got physical."
Thinking of tomorrow, Bu Ruo just felt a headache. She was afraid that the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion would never be peaceful again.
"Miss, you don't really care about those who died in vain, you just don't want Master Jin to get involved."
"After all, with his loudmouthed nature, if he knew today that you helped those who died in vain, the whole of Kyoto would know you were a charlatan tomorrow."
Bu Ruo stood up, patted her dress, and gave her an appreciative look: "Of course I won't ignore it. Since I have discovered it, let's go there tonight and bring back all those wronged souls."
Bi'er was shocked: "Bring them all... back? Bring them back... to the mansion?"
Bu Ruo nodded and consoled him, "Don't be afraid. We still have those ancestors who do nothing all day in our mansion. They're just sitting there anyway, so why not let them accumulate more virtue? The blessings will eventually pass on to future generations... just like me, your daughter."
Looking at the calculating smile on Bu Ruo's lips, Bier could only shed tears of sympathy for the ancestors of the Bu family in her heart.
…
As soon as it got dark in the evening, Bu Ruo took Bi'er out and headed towards Ji Pei Villa.
"Did you see that, Bao'er? Did you see that? I knew Ru'er was a soft-hearted person with a hard mouth. It's okay if she doesn't know, but once she knew there were so many wronged souls, she would definitely not pretend not to see it."
"Oh, hurry up, or you'll lose track of me and lose sight of me."
"You don't know, I grew up with Ruo'er, but including the incident with Guangling Hou yesterday, I've only seen Ruo'er's miraculous abilities twice in all these years. The first time was when she was three years old."
Mo Bao carried Jin Congcong as they shuttled quickly through the darkness. "When the master was three years old? I hadn't been picked up yet at that time. Can you tell me what magical abilities the master had? I've never seen them once."
Jin Congcong started coughing frantically just as he was about to speak: "Cough cough cough... I can, but can you change your position? My stomach is about to burst from your push. How about you just grab me by the back of my neck."
"Ah! Cough, cough, cough... Baoer, you are trying to murder me... Cough, cough, cough, loosen up, loosen up, you are strangling me to death."
