"So you betrayed us."
"No, I just said some unimportant things."
"Not important?" Shang Ruoyi's tone was already filled with anger: "He Jingheng's leg has recovered, you said it! You drew the topographic map of the mansion for us!" She leaned down and said in a deep voice: "This is not important? What else is important?"
Cong Fangzhi lowered her head and said weakly, "You heard it all."
"Now that things have come to this, do you have anything else to say?"
Cong Fangzhi looked at the child in her arms and said, "Sister-in-law, if I make a contribution, can you not drive me away?"
Shang Ruoyi didn't say anything. She hated betrayal the most. No matter who it was, as long as they betrayed her once, she would never forgive them.
Cong Fangzhi smiled self-deprecatingly. She had saved herself from danger time and time again, and tried her best to save her own life and that of her child, but she betrayed her and the He family.
She kissed the baby in her arms, handed it to Yingyue beside her, got up with difficulty, walked to the bed, tore open the pillow, and found a piece of golden cloth inside.
She handed the cloth to Shang Ruoyi: "This was given to me by my father before I was exiled."
"What is this?"
"The treasure of the royal family of the previous dynasty." Cong Fangzhi whispered, "Long before he was exiled, Dad knew that the Cong family was being targeted by others, just because he accidentally got such a treasure map. As everyone knows, Dad loves to travel. When he was traveling in a mountain stream, it suddenly rained, so he hid in a cave. There were some items of the royal family of the previous dynasty in the cave. It was there that he found such a map. It was clear that it was a map. Not long after Dad brought it back, the family was robbed several times. I guess it was because of this. For the sake of insurance, Dad gave me the map, thinking that the Dingguo Palace must be the safest place in the whole of Jishun. Who would have thought that he was exiled."
"The thing you said you were hiding before was this?"
Cong Fangzhi nodded. In fact, she was sober that day and said it on purpose for Shang Ruoyi to hear.
"Sister-in-law, I don't know what the treasure of the previous dynasty is, and I don't ask for your forgiveness. I know that my sins are unforgivable. After I die, please take good care of my children."
Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "When did I ever say that I wanted you to commit suicide?"
Cong Fangzhi stood there in a daze: "Sister-in-law."
"A loving mother's heart can really make you lose your mind. I will forgive you this time. If it happens again, I will kill you." Shang Ruoyi handed her the blueprint: "I don't care about the royal treasure of the previous dynasty."
Cong Fangzhi burst into tears instantly. She ignored the pain from her wound and knelt on the ground, saying, "Sister-in-law, thank you."
Shang Ruoyi turned around and tried to leave, but Cong Fangzhi grabbed her skirt and said, "Sister-in-law, it's safer to keep this treasure map with you."
Seeing her sincere words, Shang Ruoyi took the treasure map.
"Thank you, sister-in-law, for your help." Cong Fangzhi took the child, hugged her tightly, and looked at her with tears in her eyes: "I swear on my life that if I do anything to let down the He family and sister-in-law again, I will be killed and destroyed, and I will never be reborn."
Shang Ruoyi turned around and left without saying anything more.
This opportunity is for the sake of the newly born child, but from now on, I will never trust her again.
Shang Ruoyi returned to the yard, and Yun 佭 told her the situation of Chiyu Villa in detail.
"You said, what about the rise of Akabane Villa in recent years?"
"Exactly." Yun Xiao thought for a moment and said, "It's almost the same time as when the casino appeared."
Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly and asked, "Did you really not do such immoral things in Dingguo Palace?"
Yun Xiao blinked and said, “You have already said that this is such a shameless thing. How could our Dingwang Palace possibly do such a thing?”
Seeing this expression, Shang Ruoyi understood in her heart: "You should go back! Don't let the old princess and others know about this for the time being, so as not to worry. However, send more people to Cong's place."
"No." Yun smiled and said, "After all, there was no noise today. I will ask the guards to keep their mouths shut."
Shang Ruoyi nodded and looked at the night outside: "Now is the right time, I will leave tonight."
Only after she had dealt with the affairs of the mansion could she leave with peace of mind, leaving Yun Yu with enough ammunition: "Remember, if there is anyone who is blind, you don't have to show mercy."
"놆!"
She rode at full speed and finally arrived at Beiling when the sky was bright.
Ah Cheng had been to Beiling before. The properties of the Dingguo Palace were spread all over the country, and there were also several manors in the capital of Beiling.
"Princess, are we going to the manor?"
Shang Ruoyi shook her head: "Just go to the inn."
Your identities must have been clearly investigated by the Li family. If you go to Zhuangzi now, wouldn't the secret agents set up by He Jingheng here be exposed right under your noses?
"Princess, will the Li family collude with the imperial court to capture us all in one fell swoop?"
Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "What kind of family is the Li family?"
"Royal Merchant."
"That's right, the imperial merchants are merchants, and merchants pursue profits. Whoever can bring us the greatest benefits will be our friend." Shang Ruoyi turned her fingers, and a pearl appeared in her palm.
Ah Cheng's eyelids twitched as he looked at the huge Dongzhu.
A few years ago, I followed my wife into the palace and had the honor of seeing the treasure that Beiling presented to Emperor Shun, which was this precious Dongzhu.
Where did 녡子妃놆 come from?
Some time ago, the emperor's private treasury was robbed and all the treasures disappeared overnight. Now, the treasures in Dongzhu Princess's treasury must have been taken away by Princess Dongzhu.

It seems like he knows an incredible secret.
After receiving the visiting card, the head of the Li family was delighted.
"Quan'er, you must entertain Madam Shang well this time."
"I know, my son." Li Quan hesitated for a moment, "But what about my sister?"
The head of the Li family waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I will go and talk to her. How can a girl interfere in family affairs? Just say that she is sick and can't see guests. Besides, she will get married in half a year. At this time, she should stay at home and wait for her marriage." He looked at Li Quan and said, "Has your mother sent anyone to visit her these days?"
"I sent them, but they were kicked out by her, saying that she was just a concubine and had no right to manage the affairs of her courtyard." Li Quan looked at his father's face and continued, "Dad, the position of the mistress in the mansion has been vacant for many years, it's time to promote mother to a co-wife, only in this way can I be a mistress with peace of mind!"
At this moment, a voice came from the door: "You are dreaming!" Li Xia Xia pushed the door open and glared at Li Quan and said, "You and your mother should just give up on the position of the mistress of the Li family! As long as I am alive, she will never be able to become the mistress of the Li family!"
