Chapter 168 Liu Ruyun's Melon
Gao Conghui was very angry.
Qin Yunyi noticed a pair of eyes staring at him. He turned around and felt like he had seen this person somewhere before.
When Liu Ruyun saw him looking at her, she swayed a little, lowered her head in panic, and hid behind Gao Zhiyuan.
Gao Zhiyuan didn't care about Liu Ruyun's abnormality. He pulled Gao Conghui and said, "Sister, Master Zhu should be here soon. Let's go down and greet him."
Gao Conghui snorted coldly: "Okay, let's go. When I see Young Master Zhu, I will tell him to change to another restaurant. This restaurant is too bad."
Several people left in a hurry.
Li Wanyue asked Qin Yunyi: "Do you know Liu Ruyun? She was looking at you just now, as if she knew you."
Qin Yunyi frowned: "Looks familiar."
Yuan Qing clapped his hands and said, "Master, I remember who she is now. Wasn't she the girl who brought you food with extra ingredients two years ago in the mansion and wanted to get close to you... no - wanted to get close to you? Later, the matter was exposed and she was driven out of the mansion."
That was a close call, I almost made a bald face.
Two years ago, Liu Ruyun and her mother went to the Qin Mansion to visit her aunt who worked as a kitchen manager there.
She happened to meet Qin Yunyi and learned that he was the young master of the Qin family. She fell in love with him and begged her aunt to stay in the house for a few days.
Liu Ruyun felt that she was good-looking and talented, and would definitely catch Qin Yunyi's eye.
But when they met Qin Yunyi by chance for several days, he didn't even give her a glance.
The housekeeper noticed Liu Ruyun's abnormality and learned that she was a relative of the kitchen manager. He reminded the kitchen manager not to let her wander around the house and asked her to leave immediately.
Liu Ruyun was very unwilling. If she became the young lady of the Qin family, she would enjoy endless wealth in the future, and she didn't want to miss it.
So she took advantage of her aunt's position, secretly added some medicine into Qin Yunyi's food, and disguised herself as a maid to deliver it to him.
As luck would have it, Qin Yun had to go out for something urgent that day, so the meal was left to the servants in the yard to eat.
Liu Ruyun waited for a quarter of an hour and slipped in under the pretext of collecting dishes. The drug took effect on the servant and Liu Ruyun reacted and screamed desperately, attracting other people who subdued the servant.
Although Liu Ruyun maintained her innocence, her clothes were disheveled and she was seen by everyone.
This reputation is ruined.
Qin Zhili had someone find out the truth and was furious.
But Liu Ruyun is not a member of their family, and the housekeeper has been in their family for so many years, and it is her duty.
Instead of calling the police, he beat Ruyun Liu ten times with a stick.
The housekeeper was given twenty strokes of the cane, and the two were driven out at night.
Qin Yun also suddenly realized that it was that person.
Li Wanyue had a look of confusion on her face. It turned out that Liu Ruyun actually wanted to climb into Qin Yunyi's bed. It seemed that she failed and had to hide herself. So she had to choose Gao Zhiyuan.
But it has nothing to do with her, so she should just talk about her own business.
On the other side, Liu Ruyun sat in the carriage absent-mindedly.
She had finally let go of the matter, but happened to run into Qin Yunyi again.
After that incident, she hid at home for a long time and didn't dare to go out.
They were afraid that what they did would be laughed at by others, and that their aunt and her family, who had lost their livelihood, would go to their house and curse them.
But some news still leaked out. Although no names were mentioned, she was still very scared and stayed indoors.
It took me a long time to let go of the matter and dare to go out.
It just so happened that I met Gao Zhiyuan again at this time.
She always knew that Gao Zhiyuan liked her.
She was old, and she dared not think about the wealthy families in the county. After all, wealthy families were very well-informed and she could always hear some rumors.
After spending some time with Gao Zhiyuan, I felt that he was not bad. What's more important is that he passed the examination and became a student. If he could pass the examination and become a scholar, or even achieve higher achievements in the future, my status would also rise.
Her status was much higher than that of the merchant, so she decided to marry him.
Gao Zhiyuan is now studying in the county town, and it is just around the corner for her to pass the imperial examination and become a scholar. She wants to forget about those bad things.
Gao Zhiyuan kept staring at Liu Ruyun, thinking of the woman who climbed into Young Master Qin's bed that the students talked about that day.
He suddenly asked, "Yunniang, do you know that young master?"
Liu Ruyun's heart skipped a beat and she said, "I've seen him once. A few years ago, the county academy held a poetry gathering and my father took me to attend. That Young Master Qin was a student at the county academy at the time, so I've seen him before, but I didn't know him."
"Oh, I see." Gao Zhiyuan breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought: How could Yunniang, such a smart and polite person, do such a despicable thing?
Liu Ruyun nodded: "Of course, the Qin family is one of the richest families in the county, how could I know him?"
Gao Zhiyuan thought to himself, yes, and the depression in his heart eased a little.
County government backyard
Xie Yan put down his pen and rubbed his eyebrows.
There was a knock on the door, and Qingfeng said, "Master, Master Shen is here."
"Let him in."
Shen Yu walked into the study room carrying a lunch box: "Are you done?"
"There are still some. Why are you here?"
"I'm here to bring you something."
As Shen Yu spoke, he took out the things in the lunch box, a bowl of ice jelly and a plate of snacks.
"Eat something to fill your stomach. You look tired and thin."
Xie Yan asked curiously, "Are you so kind?"
Shen Yu rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are my brother, I have to be nice to you."
Xie Yan didn't answer. He picked up the ice jelly and took a sip. It was cool and sweet, and the heat dissipated a little.
“It tastes good, right?”
"Um."
"Do you want to know who did it?"
"I've never eaten this kind of food before. You brought it here specially. I think it was made by Li Wanyue."
Shen Yu's smile suddenly fell. He had originally wanted to use this to trick the music score from Xie Yan, but now his chance was gone.
With a roll of his eyes, he said, "You are my brother. I let you guess. It was indeed Miss Li who did it. She heard that you had lost weight due to your hard work for the refugees. She felt sorry for you and told me to take care of yourself and not to get too tired. She also asked me to give you this ice jelly to try."
Xie Yan's expression softened a little: "Did she really say that?"
"It's absolutely true. She also asked me to donate some food, clothing, and medicine to the refugees on her behalf, and the money would be deducted from the profits."
Xie Yan finished his ice jelly in silence, wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, and said, "The prefect and the officials sent by the court will arrive in Anping County in the next two days. I will be a little busy. If the Li family has any problems, please help them."
"The court has sent someone?"
"The prefect would send people to investigate the counties every once in a while. This time, I reported the taro, yams, waterwheels, etc., and I think he also reported them to the court, so the court sent people to check."
"Is that so? Don't worry, I will take care of the Li family, but what are my benefits?" Shen Yu twirled his fingers.
Xie Yan said: "Please choose one of the calligraphy and music scores in the storeroom."
"Can I choose two?"
"cannot."
"Okay." Shen Yu secretly complained about being stingy.

In a blink of an eye, the doors and windows of the new house have been installed, and while the house is being aired out, the furniture is moved in one after another.
It just happens that the furniture also has a good smell.
The family looked around in the new house, their eyes full of excitement.
"Whoever you like, choose one by yourself. I want this one." Li Wanyue pointed to the first room in the east wing.
Then I walked into the wing and imagined how to decorate it.
