Chapter 189 The Secret of the Transaction

He immediately took out the scissors and cut out a small opening. Looking inside, he saw that it was a piece of black rag cloth with dark patterns of Baoxiang Flower on it.

Su Mingjue frowned, seeming to realize something, and dug into the brocade bag. There was a note inside: After investigation, this Yun brocade was presented to Jingyang Chang by the Jiangnan Silk Weaving Bureau in the spring of the 29th year of Daqing. Princess. Why did

the eldest princess

sound so familiar? Su Mingjue seemed to have seen her there before. After thinking for a while, he remembered that this person seemed to be mentioned in his letter written by Lu Shaoqing.

Why did Su Shiqian specifically ask Baili Xi to bring this untouchable person to him?

In the flash of lightning, he thought of the deal.

Could it be possible...

Su Mingjue raised his head instantly, and his heart ached a little for some reason.

He packed up the things in his hands, stuffed them into his arms, and walked to Wang Ruofu's yard.

At this moment, Wang Ruofu had just woken up and was eating watermelon. Seeing Su Mingjue come in, she handed a piece over, "It's just in time, try this melon. It's so sweet!"

Su Mingjue took the melon and thought about it for a moment: "Mother, Rong Zheng's mother must have passed away for seven years this year!"

"Almost, she passed away in the 29th year of Daqing, so it has been seven years now."

Wang Ruofu seemed to be recalling the past. He sighed and said, "Talk about it, tomorrow is her birthday. In the past, when she was still here, you would celebrate your birthday and then she would celebrate it. It was so lively then!"

Su Mingjue froze when he heard this. He didn't expect Rong Zheng. What kind of mood did I have when I came to this palace?

It’s also a birthday celebration, but it’s a yin and a yang.

He pursed his lips and said, "Then are we going to pay homage tomorrow?"

Wang Ruofu shook his head, "I won't go tomorrow. If we go, it will only increase Cheng'er's troubles. It's better to let him rest in peace." "When he leaves, I will find another day."

Su Mingjue nodded and said nothing more.

After staying with Wang Ruofu for a while, he returned to the courtyard.

Su Mingjue was lying on the bed unable to fall asleep for a long time. He looked at the words on the paper for a long time, and finally walked out of the house the next day.

He got on the carriage and said, "Go to Qinghe County Rong Mansion."

The groom of the palace responded and then drove away from the mansion.

Qinghe County is not far from Qingruzhou, and it takes about an hour to walk there.

As soon as Su Mingjue got off the carriage, the gatekeeper came over with joy when he saw him, "Master Su is here! I haven't seen you for a long time, are you here to see my young master Rong?"

Su Mingjue heard this. I was stunned, I didn't expect anyone in Rong Mansion knew him.

The other party's tone seemed quite familiar. Could it be that this original person used to come here often to play, and

Su Mingjue suddenly realized that it would be extremely easy for him to reveal his secrets when he came here today, or he had already revealed his secrets.

He touched something on his chest and finally nodded, "Is Rong Zheng there?"

the gatekeeper said, "The young master is at the lady's place now. If Master Su wants to go, I will take you there."

Su Mingjue nodded, "Excuse me. "

The gatekeeper looked at him with a kind look on his face, "With you here, the young master should feel much better."

Su Mingjue didn't answer because he really didn't know what to say. He came here today because he was driven by his heart. Secondly, I feel that it is better to tell some things earlier. Since I have so many flaws in front of Rong Zheng, maybe he already knows that he is not the Su Mingjue he used to be.

Now that he knew what Rong Zheng wanted to investigate, it would be better to reach a deal with him early.

Qinghe County is not a big place, so the gatekeeper led him into a carriage and arrived at the suburbs in a short while.

Close to the mountains and rivers, a tomb appeared in front of Su Mingjue.

Rong Zheng was wearing a white robe, pulling the grass in front of the tomb, muttering as if he was telling something.

Su Mingjue stood far away and did not step forward to disturb.

It wasn't until the other person looked at the tombstone in front of him with sadness in his eyes that Su Mingjue walked up.

"Let me offer some incense to Aunt Rong."

Su Mingjue learned this title from Wang Ruofu, and it was appropriate to use it to refer to Yuan Shen and Rong Zheng's mother.

When Rong Zheng heard the familiar voice, he was slightly startled. He couldn't believe it and said, "Why are you here?"

Su Mingjue respectfully placed three sticks of incense, "I'm here to see Aunt Rong."

Rong Zheng looked at it. Looking at the tombstone in front of him, he asked, "Are you finally willing to forgive me?"

Su Mingjue felt a little strange when he heard this, but didn't ask him.

He looked at Rong Zheng for a moment and finally said: "There is something that my father wants me to hand over to you."

As he said that, he took out a new bag of tips from his arms and handed it over.

Rong Zheng took the brocade bag, opened it and took a look. When he saw the black cloth with dark patterns, his pupils shrank, "Yes, that's it. Did King Jinling say anything else?"

Su Mingjue handed over the paper written by Su Shiqian. The note was handed over, "Look at this."

Rong Zheng took it and glanced at it with a gloomy expression. He clenched the hand holding the note tightly, "It's actually Princess Jingyang."

Su Mingjue sipped his mouth and said, "You Is the deal with your father to find out the murderer of your mother?"

Rong Zheng nodded, "It seems that the King of Jinling told you."

Su Mingjue shook his head, "No, I guessed it."

Su Mingjue looked at Rong. Zheng was a little puzzled, "Why don't you go directly to Prime Minister Pei about this matter?"

Rong Zheng snorted in a rare cold voice after hearing this, "How could a person who is full of power and opposition take my mother's affairs to his heart?"

Su Mingjue said: " Maybe Prime Minister Pei has unspeakable difficulties."

"Difficulties." Rong Zheng sneered twice, "I thought so too at first, so I investigated secretly, but who knew that he actually sent someone to stop me?"

Speaking of this, Rong Zheng said. He paused and glanced at the fabric in his hand, "No wonder I had to check. It turns out that it involves relatives of the emperor. He, Pei Yi, is afraid of losing his black gauze hat!"

"Maybe Prime Minister Pei is trying to protect you. He... ...."

Rong Zheng shook his head, "Ajue, you don't know, he can do it, but he has turned a blind eye for so many years. I have no reason to believe that he has no choice but to do it,"

he said on his face . It was slightly painful, as if the pain suppressed in my heart had found someone to vent to.

"I have asked him so many times since I was a child, and every time he said that my mother's death was not an accident."

"But Ajue, do you know that I saw my mother become weaker day by day with my own eyes? She was such a loving person. How can a person who dances with a stick slowly wither like a flower until its fragrance disappears? "

"I understand that all this is abnormal, but he is indifferent. Maybe he is not wrong, but my mother is wrong. We should get married to such a ruthless person."

Su Mingjue looked at the person in front of him with some distress. Although he had always suspected that Rong Zheng and Prime Minister Pei had a bad relationship, there must be discord, but he did not expect this to be the reason.

His mother's departure already makes a person vulnerable, but his father's indifference chills him even more. How did Rong Zheng maintain his gentle and jade-like character in such an environment?
