"If you think he's a good person, we can secretly inquire about him. If his background is clean, I'll find a chance to ask him what he thinks..."
Before Gu Yunran could finish her words, Ruizhu hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Second Madam, you absolutely cannot do this."
"This servant...if he knew that you were investigating him in private, it wouldn't be good."
Gu Yunran smiled: "What's wrong with this? Don't worry, he doesn't know."
Zhuye also smiled and said, "Miss, it's time for Sister Ruizhu to get married. She is two years older than me."
Ruizhu blushed and lowered her head.
She had never thought about getting married before, and she never expected to meet someone who made her heart beat in her lifetime.
At this time, a carrier pigeon flew in. Ruizhu stood up, walked over, took out a bamboo tube as thick as a thumb, opened the small bamboo tube, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Gu Yunran.
"Miss, Ningxue has sent a letter."
Gu Yunran took the note, opened it and started reading. Her beautiful eyebrows frowned.
Zhuye asked curiously, "Miss, what does the letter say?"
"There's action tonight, let me pay attention."
"Ah?" Zhuye became nervous. "She, she, she, how dare she?"
"This is the Mu Mansion, it's heavily guarded."
Ruizhu's pretty eyebrows knitted together. "Miss, the Second Master has left a lot of secret guards in the mansion, but they were just withdrawn yesterday to investigate the Northern Barbarian spies. And the Fourth Young Lady sent people to take action tonight. What a coincidence."
Gu Yunran threw the note into the charcoal basin and burned it. She raised her eyes and looked at Ruizhu: "So, you suspect that there is a spy around the Second Master."
Ruizhu nodded. "Not only that, I also wonder what the Second Young Lady has been doing in Wanfo Mountain for all these years."
"Is she related to the Northern Barbarians?"
"And why did she have to kill you!"
"She's not in the house now. If anything happens to you, she can get away with it."
Gu Yunran nodded in understanding. "This is something I can't figure out." She sighed, "Let's send someone to investigate these things. The more flawless the plan, the more likely it is to reveal its true identity."
"As for tonight, I've already made up my mind."
She whispered a few words into Ruizhu's ear, and Ruizhu thought about it.
"No, Second Madam, it's too dangerous."
"Yes, I can guarantee that I will get out of this unscathed."
She reached out and patted Ruizhu's shoulder: "You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child."
"I don't want to play hide-and-seek with him anymore."
"But if anything were to happen to you, how would I explain this to the Second Master?"
Gu Yunran stretched out her hand to interrupt her: "It's settled, do as I say."
Ruizhu failed to persuade Gu Yunran, so she went to find Taohua.
"I will go find Taohua. She is quite proficient in this area."
Gu Yunran thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead." She hadn't seen Taohua for a long time.
Ever since Taohua came back last time, she followed Qianli to the hidden weapon workshop and devoted herself to studying hidden weapons.
It has been almost a month since I last saw her. In fact, Gu Yunran understood that Taohua was not going there to study hidden weapons, but was just trying to secretly find out what happened to Prince Suping back then.
She must have found some information when she returned to Taohua Town last time, and she just kept it in mind and investigated secretly.
Ruizhu went out and met Mu Qianjiao on the way. Mu Qianjiao was sitting in the pavilion admiring the snow, and several maids were making a snowman.
Seeing Ruizhu, Mu Qianjiao narrowed her eyes, stood up and walked over.
"stop!"
Ruizhu turned around and bowed to her: "This servant greets the Fourth Young Lady!"
"Where are you going?" Mu Qianjiao looked Ruizhu up and down and asked, "And where did you leave Wenxiu?"
Ruizhu looked at Mu Qianjiao with calm eyes, "So this is what the Fourth Miss is talking about?"
"The old lady has already spoken about Wenxiu's matter. Why is the fourth young lady so persistent in pursuing her? Could it be that Wenxiu still has some evidence against her?"
Mu Qianjiao's eyes flashed with panic. She clutched the hem of her skirt and said calmly, "Don't talk nonsense. How could she have any leverage over me?"
"I just think that bitch harmed my grandmother, and it's too easy for her to be let off so easily."
Ruizhu said, "No one dares to disobey the old lady's order. If the fourth young lady has nothing else to do, I will leave first."
Mu Qianjiao waved her hand impatiently: "Go away."
She felt annoyed when she saw Ruizhu. This girl had never treated her as a lady of the Mu family since she was a child.
After Ruizhu left, Mu Qianjiao's maid Xiaorou ran over and said, "Fourth Miss, what should we do now?"
"What if Wenxiu can't get over this one day and comes to complain to the old lady... She's the old lady's maid, and Mother Mu likes her very much. I heard that Mother Mu even said she was her goddaughter in private."
"Shut up!" Mu Qianjiao yelled at Xiaorou, "This isn't easy to handle." Mu Qianjiao curled her lips into a smile, "I already have a solution."
"Let's go out of the house."
"Ah?" Xiaoling, the maid, came over and said, "But the mistress told you not to go out."
Mu Qianjiao glared at Xiaoling coldly: "Are you my maid now, or my mother's maid?"
Xiaoling lowered her head and said, "I am naturally the fourth young lady's maid."
"That's enough. I want to leave the house now. Who dares to stop me?"
"Yes, I will prepare the carriage right away."
Xiaoling ran to the backyard to get the carriage. The coachman came over and said, "Is this old servant going to drive the carriage for the fourth young lady?"
"No need. The fourth young lady has gone out to choose some jewelry and will be back soon. I can drive the carriage, so you won't have to bother me."
