While he was seriously injured and lost his memory, and his identity was a mystery, he took him home and demoted him to the lowest possible position as a groom.

In order to avoid pursuit, Lu Jianglai made mistakes and pretended to obey.As soon as the Rong family announced that they were recruiting a new bride, it triggered a competition among the prominent clan members in the south of the Yangtze River, each with its own agenda.Lu Jianglai was accidentally involved, and accidentally became a pawn in Shanbao's game with everyone.One is an ambitious and strategizing heiress, and the other is a rebellious and scheming young groom.

They join forces to reorganize the family, develop a tea ceremony, and forge a love story in the tea garden.

Episode 1

Linji, Rongfu, has been producing tea for generations. Although Rong Shanbao, a big farmer here, is a woman, she is extremely diligent and resolute, and is no weaker than a man in doing things. Over the years, she has done business all over the country and made a fortune. Countless men have come here because of her fame. Rongfu gradually prospers, but women are also in power, somewhat like the daughter country recorded in the legend.

Late that night, Rong Shanbao's sedan chair rushed to the mansion directly after receiving the news. His male favorite actually colluded with the tea farmer Ayi who had just been invited. They both got the stolen goods and were investigated together.The male favorite, Mrs. Wang, knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. She had a pink face and even argued that she was teased by the tea farmers, which brought her to this point.The male favorite thought that Rong Shanbao loved him very much, so he might be able to let him go. Who knew that Rong Shanbao looked at his face, but his eyes were filled with pain, and he directly asked his men to drive him out of Rong Mansion.

Tea farmer Ayi thought she would be punished, but Rong Shanbao took her hand and came to a barren mountain, which Rong Shanbao planned to use to grow tea. Hearing that Ayi was a good tea grower, he immediately invited her here, hoping that Ayi could give full play to her expertise here and help her grow tea. As for the male favorite, Rongshanbao felt that it was like a gift, and he could give it to anyone Ayi liked.

Recently, tea picking women have been missing in tea factories, and wild tea seeds have been stolen. Rong Shanbao felt something strange, so he pretended to be a tea farmer, but he was really kidnapped at the tea farm. Fortunately, Rong Shanbao still had some skills, and was taken into the dungeon by a group of masked men that day.That night, an old woman and girl were shivering outside the teahouse. Seeing the old woman coughing constantly, the teahouse proprietress warmly invited them to have a cup of tea to warm themselves up. She thought the teahouse proprietor was a bodhisattva-hearted person, but unexpectedly, the two people soon fell on the table and fainted.Several guys dragged the two people into a hidden kitchen, where many guys were cutting meat. The shape of the meat looked like human internal organs.

Just when the chef slashed at the old woman with a knife, the old woman suddenly opened her eyes and jumped into the air, directly attacking the chef and the guy who was about to commit the crime next to her.The fainted woman also had some skills, and the two quickly took control of the situation. Now that the crime den has been found, the old woman tore off her mask and it turned out to be a man!Exactly, this person is Lu Jianglai, a well-known young and promising local official.

Lu Jiang came to bring the murderer to justice. The local official Liu Ben secretly winked at the murderer. Lu Jiang came to look at the teahouse proprietress, an old lady. She was still pretty. To commit such a crime, the official's help was definitely indispensable.Lu Jianglai's men also found a corpse pit in the teahouse, with countless dead bodies hidden in it, and many young tea-picking girls were imprisoned in the dungeon.Lu Jianglai rescued all the women trapped in the dungeon, and then killed Liu Ben on the spot for harboring the trouble.

Rong Shanbao was released, and before leaving, she glanced at Lu Jianglai with admiration, "The local official Liu Ben relied on his nepotistic relationship with Xu Song, and the common people did not distinguish between good and evil. Now that the law is being rectified on the spot, it can be regarded as waking up the local bullies. I am afraid there will be a lot less theft in the future."

After several days of hard work and dangerous journeys, Rong Shanbao worked hard on the tea plantation, but returning home was not a warm haven. There were six or seven sisters in the family, each of whom was not a good person. They stared at the position of the chief tea farmer and couldn't wait to show off their skills in front of the old lady.As soon as Rong Shanbao returned home to pay his respects to the old lady, he was faced with a series of insinuations and harsh criticism. The second sister spoke softly, but she kept a knife behind her every word. However, Rong Shanbao did not give them any common sense, and easily made the matter a trivial matter.

Episode 2

Recently, a murder case occurred in Linji. The murderer was suspected of hiding in Rong Mansion while celebrating the birthday of the old lady of Rong Mansion, and has been hiding since then. The nature of the case was very bad. The victim Wei Kejian kept complaining in prison, and countless officials were severely punished and demoted by the emperor because of their inability to handle the case.Lu Jiang was faced with a critical situation and was ordered to do so, but still decided to take the case.

The counselor Lang Zhusheng beside him reminded Lu Jianglai in a low voice that the Rong Mansion had a huge family business and it was difficult to invite an old lady. However, Lu Jianglai chose to be polite first and then attack, asking his men to send greeting cards to Rong Shanbao, and then went to the door in person.On the day when Lu Jianglai came to Rong Mansion, it happened to be the day when Rong Mansion chose a good son-in-law for Rong Shanbao. The gate of Rong Mansion was thoughtful. Lu Jianglai came to the door and asked his men to deliver the post first. He waited outside the door and planned to force Mrs. Rong to go to the Yamen later.But not long after, his subordinates hurriedly came to report that something happened in the examination room.

Lu Jianglai hurried back, and dozens of candidates crowded at the gate of the government office, all complaining about Liu Fu.These were all the students who were valued by the imperial court and could not be offended. Lu Jianglai realized that the Rong Mansion really had a deep background, and just a little bit of news caused chaos here.Local officials began to blame Lu Jianglai for his poor handling of affairs. When he first arrived, he made the local wealthy businessmen lose face. Lu Jianglai saw that they were becoming more and more ignorant, so he directly took out the imperial edict. According to the content of the imperial edict, Lu Jianglai was ordered to investigate and deal with corrupt officials. Wherever he went, he must provide full assistance.With the holy decree, some idiots dare not say anything.

Lu Jianglai investigated the case vigorously and resolutely. After eating two cups of tea, he prepared to go to Rong Mansion to investigate the case in person. However, he suffered from unbearable abdominal pain on the way and fell out of the sedan. Now these grooms showed their faces and confessed that Lu Jianglai had violated the interests of too many people during this investigation and they no longer agreed that he should stay here any longer. As he spoke, he raised his machete. More than a dozen of his men came over and stabbed Lu Jianglai one after another.Lu Jianglai used his last strength to fight with it and accidentally fell off the cliff.

Just in the early morning, Rong Shanbao went to the tea farm to check for pests. On the way, he met Lu Jianglai who was covered in blood. Seeing that Lu Jianglai's face looked familiar, Rong Shanbao asked his men to take him back to the house for treatment.A few days later, Lu Jianglai lost his memory. No one could even figure out his last name. Rong Shanbao once picked up the bloody ring finger left by Lu Jianglai and asked his men to go to the court to inquire about it. He did not hear any news about the disappearance of court officials. However, whether Lu Jianglai really lost his memory and his identity remain to be investigated.Lu Jianglai was still injured, so Rong Shanbao remained calm and asked his men to stay in the mansion as grooms until Lu Jianglai recovered from his injuries.

The Rong Mansion continues to select talents and beauties for the eldest lady. Every month, many dignitaries come here to send congratulatory gifts, including Yang Dingcheng and He Xingming, who are from well-off families, and He Xingming, a modest gentleman. These people covet the beauty and priceless dowry of the eldest lady of the Rong Mansion, and they are deliberately trying to defeat their opponents and win the throne.

A year passed in the blink of an eye, and Lu Jianglai still had not recovered his memory. He was willing to work as a groom in Rong Mansion. One day, Wang Lu, a follower of Yang Dingcheng, met Lu Jianglai who was carrying fertilizer. When he saw that he was a servant, he immediately waved his whip and punched and kicked him.Lu Jianglai's arm was broken, and the old wounds on his body were kicked to bleed. Because of his humble status, he could not bear it. He was suppressing his anger and apologizing. Suddenly, a whip was thrown directly on Wang Lu's hand, and Rong Shanbao appeared!She bluntly reminded the guests that beating a dog depends on the owner. Since they are here, it is not unreasonable to do as the Romans do.

When Yang Dingcheng saw Rong Shanbao, he was attracted by her talent and beauty. Seeing that there were many competitors around him, he began to use various strategies to get those opponents expelled from Rong Mansion for various reasons.Lu Jianglai was very grateful for Rong Shanbao's help and wanted to find a chance to talk to her. At night, Lu Jianglai saw that the lock plate of Rong Shanbao's mansion had been cut off, and he slipped in quietly.

Episode 3

Rong Junxi usually resented that Rong Shanbao was favored by the old lady and always caused trouble. This time, when he saw that the house was full of people who wanted to marry Rong Shanbao, he wished he could see her joke earlier. This time, he saw Rong Yunwan in Rong Shanbao's house. This was their sister. Their mother's body was damaged due to difficult childbirth, and she died of depression soon after.Rong Junxi hates her very much, but Rong Shanbao solemnly reminds her not to hurt this sister. After all, this is what her mother paid for with her life.

Lu Jianglai overheard the argument between the two sisters near the window and accidentally exposed his shadow. Rong Shanbao saw someone near the window and immediately ordered his men to search the entire courtyard. Lu Jianglai hurriedly hid in the grass and saw that all the exits in the courtyard were tightly blocked by the gang. He could not escape. He quickly grabbed two handfuls of mud from the ground and smeared it on his face. He climbed out and lied that he had lost the barrel in the courtyard during the day. He rushed to look for it for fear of being complained.

Rong Shanbao watched carefully as he pretended to be horrified, and nodded on the surface, acknowledging Lu Jianglai's words. At this time, a servant hurriedly came to say that there was water in the yard.Rong Shanbao found it interesting that there was so much movement in one night, so he asked Lu Jianglai to stand up and follow her to the house to talk.

At this time, the thick smoke in the yard had dissipated. A white-faced scholar explained that he saw two people sneaking into cousin Rong Shanbao's room. He was worried that something would happen to his cousin, so he lit his clothes to make smoke to help his cousin get out of trouble.This matter soon became clear, Rong Shanbao dismissed his men, and his cousin walked out of the room drunkenly, acting as if he had no idea what was going on.

After the matter was settled, Lu Jianglai immediately knelt down in front of Rong Shanbao and took the initiative to write a deed of prostitution to express his loyalty. Rong Shanbao had already guessed that the person who had just eavesdropped on their sisters' conversation was Lu Jianglai. Lu Jianglai vowed to be Rong Shanbao's servant forever. He fell off the cliff because of Rong Shanbao's rescue, and the life-saving grace should be repaid by a spring.Rong Shanbao saw that his expression was sincere and didn't look like he was lying, so he believed him and gave him the name Lu Fusheng%.

After Rong Shanbao left, his cousin sneered. In fact, he was not drunk at all. Last night, someone wanted this close cousin to lose the election, so they found two dancers to try to tarnish the innocence of this warm cousin. Unexpectedly, they were screwed up by a scholar from Bai Langjun.

On the next day, there were still several young masters in the Rong Mansion who had not been expelled. Rong Shanbao felt it was necessary to test them again and asked them to prepare gifts.

The eldest young master of Rong Mansion found out that there were many young masters in the manor who wanted to fall in love with him, so he deliberately told them that he would tell them about Rong Shanbao's habits as long as he gave them enough money.The suitors in the mansion took out silver ingots one after another. Rong Shanbao asked the maid to deprive the eldest young master of face in public. Anyone who wanted to use money to cheat would have to withdraw from the competition. Since then, the eldest young master's little trick has been miscalculated.

Seeing that there were many competitors in the yard, Cousin Wen worried all day long about how to win the beauty back as soon as possible. He also pretended to be an armored warrior and asked his subordinates to help create a high-flying battle to heighten the atmosphere.Cousin Wen tried hard, but finally failed to capture Rong Shanbao. Instead, Rong Shanbao was locked into the room and treated as a madman.

In a blink of an eye, the next day came, and countless young masters showed off their skills to give Rong Shanbao gifts. Some gave him gold and silver, some showed off his sexy arms, some gave pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and some had gold medals. Rong Shanbao did not show much enthusiasm. Finally, he ordered his subordinates to arrange gifts of the same amount as gifts in return, and announced the list of people to have dinner with in the evening.

Episode 4

Rong Shanbao's Cousin Wen staged the character of “Armor Warrior” last night. Although it was ridiculous and funny, it was beyond Rong Shanbao's expectations. In the early morning, Rong Shanbao came directly to Lu Jiang and told him not to teach Cousin Wen some strange skills to attract people's attention.Lu Jianglai looked directly at Rong Shanbao and asked them if they had met before. Since they didn't know each other, why could they infer that his cousin's little actions were instigated by others? Rong Shanbao was speechless by Lu Jianglai's words, but he did not tell Lu Jianglai about the accidental meeting before he lost his memory.

When Wen Can, the cousin, saw that the young masters who gave gifts to Rong Shanbao all received gifts in return, he angrily asked his servants why there were no gifts in return from him. The servants told the truth because the eldest lady said that he did not send gifts.Wen Can blushed and angrily asked Lu Jiang to guard the door. No matter who Rong Shanbao chose for dinner, they could not be let in.

Lu Jianglai had no choice but to do as he was told. Rong Shanbao saw Lu Jianglai staying there all day long. After understanding the situation, he blamed him for not distinguishing between master and servant. Lu Jianglai understood that he was indeed wrong, so he had to go to the ancestral hall and kneel down to receive the punishment.

Rong Shanbao originally ordered Scholar Bai to go to dinner, but the fourth sister invited Scholar Bai over in advance. When Rong Shanbao heard about the situation, he asked Lu Jianglai, who was kneeling in the ancestral hall, to help with the dishes. Lu Jianglai was very happy to receive this job. He was flattered to be in such close contact with Rong Shanbao.

On the next day, another carriage came to the gate of Rong Mansion, and a handsome young man got off. This man's name was Yan Bailou. He came from a wealthy family and looked talented. The old lady liked it very much and ordered her subordinates to do the reception work in advance.My grandmother proposed a martial arts contest. On this day, many martial artists were eager to try. My cousin refused to lag behind and finally climbed up to the attic with great effort. However, he immediately felt dizzy and weak in his limbs.He held on to the wall, but he couldn't handle the next game.

Lu Jianglai hurriedly stepped forward to help Wen Can and asked him to give up the next game with the eldest lady's advice. However, Wen Can was still stubborn and had no choice but to knock him out and carry him on as he couldn't watch him take risks.The game was still going on, so Lu Jianglai put on a mask and Wen Can's clothes, pretending to be Wen Can and continued to participate in the next game.

The competition was in full swing. In order to win the jackpot, countless young men used ruthless and deadly moves. Many people who ran to the bridge desperately were constantly counterattacked by those behind them, making it impossible to move their legs.Lu Jianglai could have got the embroidered ball, but the opponent was also strong. When the three men were fighting for the embroidered ball, they tore it into pieces together. There was no winner in the game.

Lu Jianglai was injured in the game. When he saw the maid next to Rong Shanbao calling for a doctor, he thought the eldest lady would come, and he was half happy.Rong Shanbao knew that his cousin had been poisoned, and he was worried that Yang Dingchen would not let it go, so he ordered his subordinates to send him gold silk armor to protect his chest and back.Lu Jianglai came over after applying the medicine and saw Wen Can carefully locking the gold armor into the cabinet, and his eyes almost became jealous.

When Yan Bailou came to Rongfu, he did not participate in the competition or show up. Some competitors heard that a powerful enemy had come to the mansion and went to find out.When I went to the guest room, I heard from my subordinates that the owner had been summoned by the old lady.Yan Bailou brought the eighteen methods of tea ceremony from Ganlu Temple, as well as some tea soup. The tea brewed filled the room with a mellow aroma, which was surprising.Yan Bailou introduced the raw materials for making tea and taught tea making techniques that were rare on the market. The old lady was very satisfied. Even Rong Shanbao also found Yan Bailou very interesting.

Episode 5

Yan Bailou's name was quickly identified. It turned out that this person had a noble status and had been married to the Rong Mansion for generations. It seemed that many male guests had some strong enemies, which made some people with ulterior motives tighten their hearts again. He Xingming and Yang Dingcheng were determined to get Rong Shanbao, so they decided to join forces to get rid of Yan Bailou.They inquired about Lu Jianglai's place in Wen Can's martial arts competition yesterday. Yang Dingcheng felt that it was necessary to get rid of Lu Jianglai who showed up rashly. On this day, he deliberately complained loudly in the yard, claiming that two ingots of gold were missing from his room.

When Lu Jianglai saw Yang Dingcheng fighting like this, he understood something. He returned to Wen Can's room and immediately stopped Wen Can from going out to watch the fun. He closed the door to help him analyze the pros and cons, and told Wen Can not to move around. The exam was still going on and he should stay up all night to study.Wen Can obeyed Lu Jianglai's words and didn't rest until very late at night.

That night, someone threw a green bamboo-leaf venomous snake through the window of Yang Dingcheng's room. This originally had nothing to do with Lu Jianglai, but someone knocked on Lu Jianglai's window and claimed that Wen Can had been bitten by a venomous snake. Naturally, Lu Jianglai hurried out to investigate. As soon as he went out, he was held down by his servants, claiming that it was Lu Jianglai who threw the venomous snake.

Now it was lively, Lu Jianglai was dragged to the atrium, and Wen Can rushed there. Yang Dingcheng insisted that Lu Jianglai threw the poisonous snake, and the boy in the room was accidentally bitten. In addition, Yang Dingcheng's men also found the missing gold ingot in Lu Jianglai's room.The room was full of men who were pursuing Rong Shanbaolai, and now they were eager to drive Lu Jianglai out as soon as possible. Even though there were many doubts about the case, several people said that it was Lu Jianglai who did it.Seeing that Lu Jianglai was about to have his tongue pulled out, Rong Shanbao arrived in time, accompanied by Yan Bailou.

Lu Jianglai thought he was doomed this time, but unexpectedly he was saved by Rong Shanbao. With Rong Shanbao's support, Lu Jianglai began to prove his innocence. He took Rong Shanbao and everyone to his room to see. There was a layer of cinnabar on the floor, and there were several clearly visible footprints on it. The footprints were not from Lu Jiang, so it was said that someone secretly put the gold in while Lu Jianglai was not in the room.Rong Shanbao ordered a search of the shoes of the people in the mansion and quickly identified the murderer. Now that the murderer had been found, Yang Dingcheng immediately claimed that he had just misunderstood.

Rong Shanbao could clearly see that the Rong Mansion was in trouble because of these marriage seekers, but she could not offend these people, so she had to punish her housekeeper Cheng Guanshi face to face for his poor performance, and walked away angrily.

Manager Cheng was whipped. In fact, when Rong Shanbao was not present, he should have assumed the responsibility of a manager. However, Manager Cheng also had selfish motives and wanted Rong Shanbao to see clearly the true face of these men seeking marriage, and deliberately indulged the development of the situation.The housekeeper of the Rong Mansion reminded Steward Cheng not to have inappropriate thoughts. Rong Shanbao had a distinguished status, but Steward Cheng was just an orphan taken in by the manor, so it was impossible for him to fall in love with him.

Rong Shanbao asked someone to inquire about Lu Jianglai's life experience. It turned out that Lu Jianglai was fostered by his father as a book boy in the Luo family since he was a child. Although he was a reading companion, he was very smart and a good student.Lu Jianglai's father died unexpectedly, so Lu Jianglai left the Luo family. After three years of mourning, the Luo family was in dire straits. Lu Jianglai passed the provincial examination, won the imperial examination all the way, and later became an official trusted by the emperor. He repaid the Luo family's son with kindness and did not pursue any further investigation. But later, when he came to Linji, he was unable to do so and his ship was destroyed.

No wonder no one came to Lu Jiang for so many days after he came to Rong Mansion. It turned out that Lu Jianglai accidentally offended his enemy. Rong Shanbao felt that the best shelter at the moment was Rong Mansion, so he simply let Lu Jianglai stay in Rong Mansion.

Episode 6

Rong Shanbao asked Manager Cheng to take the men to the tea-picking base. The tea-picking girl explained the tea-picking steps and tea-frying techniques in detail. Rong Shanbao asked Wen Can to follow and learn. However, Wen Can felt that tea picking was not what men should do. Manager Cheng took everyone around and finally set out test questions for everyone to compete in tea picking and tea making.Since then, these men have been dumbfounded. They didn't listen carefully just now, but now they start to take it seriously.

Lu Jianglai quietly told Wen Can to concentrate on picking, and poured the tea leaves he picked to Wen Can, encouraging Wen Can not to be discouraged, as those young men might not be able to win the competition.Bai Yingsheng knew that he was not a good tea picker. The sun was shining brightly above his head, and he might not be able to support himself if it continued to shine like this, so he immediately fainted and pretended to be sick.When Lu Jianglai heard someone fainting, he ran over to help. At this time, Wen Can was tricked into leaving. When Lu Jianglai found that Wen Can was missing, he immediately went to look for it and found a masked man pushing Wen Can down the mountainside.

The masked man noticed someone coming from behind and ran away worried that he would be discovered. Lu Jianglai rushed over and found that Wen Can had broken both legs. He quickly found available tools nearby to save the person.Rong Shanbao came over after hearing the news, and Lu Jiang came to ask her to help tie the rope, then carefully came to Wen Can and carried him on his back with all his strength.Rong Shanbao found that Lu Jianglai clenched his teeth and carried Wen Can on his back. His hands had been strangled with blood marks by the rope, but he did not cry out in pain at all. He once again felt that his vision was good.

Wen Can cried out in pain to Rong Shanbao, and even wanted to lean on Rong Shanbao coquettishly. Lu Jianglai cleverly put Wen Can on his shoulder. Rong Shanbao couldn't help laughing. Seeing that Lu Jianglai's shoulder was bleeding from the rope just now, he went to deliver medicine to him in person. Lu Jianglai felt a little favoredTo his surprise, this goddess-like eldest lady actually delivered the medicine herself, not only the medicine but also precious cloth. Rong Shanbao told Lu Jianglai that he would no longer have to serve Wen Can in the future. He also sent a servant to take care of Lu Jianglai's health and returned the jade finger that Lu Jianglai had before he came.

Lu Jianglai applied the wound medicine and put the jade ring on his thumb. Suddenly, the memories of the past came to mind. Many things came to mind. He saw that he had killed many bad people and was framed by others. His identity gradually became clear.

Rong Shanbao began to taste the teas handmade by the man seeking marriage one by one. The teas of He Xingming and Yang Dingcheng were judged to be of high quality and they deserved to be kept. The other contestants who were judged to be of poor quality were politely kicked out of Rong Mansion.Just as Rong Shanbao was about to announce the results of the competition, Lu Jianglai came over with a pot of freshly roasted tea leaves, claiming that the tea leaves were roasted by Wen Can and were now delivering them on his behalf.Rong Shanbao smelled the tea carefully and gave it a good comment. Lu Jianglai changed into the clothes given by Rong Shanbao and looked radiant. Although he made the tea himself, he still modestly gave all the credit to Wen Can.

Lu Jianglai stood up for Wen Can, which also aroused the displeasure of others. Manager Yan saw that Lu Jianglai was always showing off in front of the eldest lady, so he punished him mercilessly. Lu Jianglai bowed respectfully and explained that he had not overstepped. Manager Yan scolded him for not distinguishing between master and servant, and mocked who gave him the privilege!Rong Shanbao happened to pass by and heard Manager Yan's reprimand to Lu Jianglai. He said without mercy that he had given Lu Jianglai permission to enter and leave the house freely.

Episode 7

Rong Shanbao praised Lu Jianglai in public. He never criticized Yan Guanlai for his behavior on weekdays, but now he openly criticized Yan Guanlai for Lu Jianglai. From now on, no servant would boss Lu Jianglai around again.

Lu Jianglai took an errand from Rong Shanbao and was going to repair the swing for the eldest lady. When he saw Rong Shanbao giving him a plate of silver ingots, Rong Shanbao hoped that Lu Jianglai could help Cousin Wen more and avoid the cold arrows of those villains.Lu Jianglai's self-esteem was stung and he refused to be Cousin Wen's foil, saying that he was willing to serve Cousin Wen all because of Rong Shanbao, but please hope that Rong Shanbao would not let him be a substitute.

Bai Yingsheng was invited by Rong Junxi several times, and he hesitated. Now that Rong Mansion wanted to get close to Rong Shanbao, he could neither get too close to other women nor be resented by the eldest sister. He walked into the garden unknowingly and met Rong Yunshu. Rong Yunshu was grateful to Bai Yingsheng for helping her find the flowers she liked last time, so he struck up a conversation with Bai Yingsheng and said that he would help him get closer to Rong Shanbao. He deliberately poured tea from the cup on Bai Yingsheng.

Bai Yingsheng's clothes were stained with tea stains, so he couldn't blame Rong Yunshu, so he had to listen to him and change clothes elsewhere.While changing clothes, Rong Junxi had someone quietly take away Bai Yingsheng's clothes and deliberately exposed Bai Yingsheng shirtless.Bai Yingsheng is a scholar. Scholars naturally regard face as bigger than the sky and are too embarrassed to come out.At this time, Lu Jianglai stepped forward. He saw Bai Yingsheng walking away with several maids on the way. His curiosity made him follow quietly. Unexpectedly, he saw Rong Junxi humiliating Bai Yingsheng.

Lu Jianglai immediately gave the clothes to Bai Yingsheng, and Rong Junxi angrily scolded Lu Jianglai for not knowing the rules. At this moment, Rong Shanbao came!A lady from Rong Mansion actually snatched Bai Yingsheng's clothes. If word got out, Rong Junxi's reputation would be tarnished.Rong Shanbao scolded the fourth sister for not doing things properly, and then personally sent Bai Yingsheng back.

Bai Yingsheng originally thought that it was Rong Yunshu who made him look embarrassed, but in the end, he unexpectedly got Rong Shanbao to send him off in person. It seemed that Rong Yunshu was really helping him.Rong Shanbao invited Bai Yingsheng to play chess together. The two chatted and it seemed that Bai Yingsheng was about to win. However, Bai Yingsheng placed the chess pieces in one hand and glanced at Rong Shanbao. After all, he deliberately let Rong Shanbao win the game.

Lu Jianglai followed Bai Yingsheng quietly, and the eldest lady played chess with him, which really made Lu Jianglai feel uncomfortable. He stepped forward and made up an excuse, saying that there were rumors that Bai Yingsheng was ill and did not dare to see people shirtless, which frightened Bai Yingsheng to say goodbye to Rong Shanbao in a hurry.Lu Jianglai got the opportunity to get close to Rong Shanbao, took the initiative to admit his mistake, and was willing to help Rong Shanbao escape the siege and avoid those who wanted to marry him.

In order to make the outside world misunderstand the relationship between the two, Lu Jianglai deliberately pushed Rong Shanbao on the swing. He did not shy away from intimate gestures and soon attracted jealous eyes.First it was Manager Cheng, then Yang Dingcheng.Yang Dingcheng openly intercepted Lu Jianglai and proposed a duel outside the house tomorrow.Lu Jianglai readily accepted the letter of challenge and asked the servants around him to keep the secret for him.

Rong Shanbao knew that Yang Dingcheng was a ruthless person, and originally wanted to persuade Lu Jianglai not to meet Yang Dingcheng alone, but when he saw Lu Jianglai coming to the door and deliberately avoided it, he decided to try Lu Jianglai's kung fu.

The next day, Lu Jianglai defeated Yang Dingcheng, but Yang Dingcheng applied poison to the knife wound. Lu Jianglai was poisoned and was in critical condition. Fortunately, he was carried back to Rongfu for treatment by the servants in time, and he saved his life.

Episode 8

When Rong Shanbao heard that Lu Jianglai was poisoned after a duel with Yang Dingcheng, he was angry and asked his men to call Yang Dingcheng to confront him. Yang Dingcheng had never poisoned him at all. Seeing that many people were in Lu Jianglai's room, he angrily yelled at Lu Jianglai for making a fuss, saying that he was also injured.Rong Shanbao asked his men to take out the sword used by Yang Dingcheng. Now the doctor determined that Yang Dingcheng's sword was poisonous. Yang Dingcheng couldn't defend himself and shouted angrily that he didn't know anything about it.

Cousin Wen was also there. Yang Dingcheng was usually arrogant and domineering and didn't take anyone seriously. Now that he finally got the handle, he naturally refused to let Yang Dingcheng go. Everyone in the room unanimously held Yang Dingcheng accountable.Lu Jiang knew that Yang Dingcheng's family was well-off, and it was impossible for him to sever ties with him because of a servant, so he hurriedly stepped down and said that he would no longer pursue Yang Dingcheng's fault.

Yang Dingcheng was about to leave, but Rong Shanbao immediately reminded him if he was not sincere enough. Yang Dingcheng asked his subordinates to send all the medical fees for the treatment, and then he left.After Yang Dingcheng returned, he naturally had to fight with his subordinates who sharpened their swords. He was usually harsh on his subordinates, but now that such a big thing happened, Yang Dingcheng's servants were so frightened that they were hiding away. Yan Bailou saw this and immediately stopped Yang Dingcheng from committing the crime.

Rong Shanbao and others retreated and returned to Lu Jianglai's room to check the wound. Lu Jianglai was usually clever and cunning, but he actually accepted Yang Dingcheng's invitation to fight in private. He must have been prepared. Rong Shanbao felt that Lu Jianglai should know that the sword was poisonous.Lu Jianglai denied it. Lu Jianglai had an insight into the matter of someone secretly poisoning him. He just wanted to kill two birds with one stone and deliberately concealed the matter and asked his subordinates not to tell it.

Yang Dingcheng was not a fool. He gave his men a few whips and told them the whole story.Lu Jianglai was invited by the old lady of Chongxi Hall to investigate the situation. Yang Dingcheng caught the murderer and proved his innocence. The murderer identified He Xingming as secretly instigating him to poison the sword.The certified evidence was all there, but He Xingming could not argue. The old lady saw clearly that Yang Dingcheng was an impulsive daredevil, and He Xingming was a cunning and ruthless scoundrel in the city, so she ordered both of them to be driven out of Rong Mansion.

Yang Dingcheng saw that the old lady didn't say anything to death, so he still had no peace of mind. Not only Yang Dingcheng, but also He Xingming didn't calm down. He held the poison in his hand and felt that it was time to act in advance.

Late at night, Rong Shanbao was awakened by a nightmare. When she woke up, she was sweating profusely. She vaguely felt that something was about to happen, so she quickly got up and rushed to the tea garden.He Xingming was offended during the day, so there was no chance that he would resort to ruthless means. That was exactly what happened. He Xingming quietly found the well for irrigation. Three days later, the Rong Mansion brought out imperial tea as a tribute. The century-old tea tree was particularly important to the Rong Mansion. He Xingming dropped the poison into the well, and Lu Jianglai happened to see him. Lu Jianglai quickly grabbed the poison and tied up He Xingming.

Rong Shanbao rushed to the well and saw poisonous residue next to the well, and immediately ordered all water for irrigation to be transported from outside from tomorrow on.He Xingming still had a tough talk and looked coldly at how Rong Shanbao dealt with the aftermath. Rong Shanbao was so angry that he walked away.

Episode 9

Steward Song's male favorite secretly accepted benefits from He Xingming and covered up He Xingming's poisoning. After being discovered by Steward Song, he immediately announced that he would be kicked out. The doting became even more arrogant and even threatened Steward Song, preparing to publicize her flirtatious behavior. Steward Song was loyal to the Rong Mansion and knew that Rong Shanbao would not blame her for the affair between a man and a woman, so he still asked his men to drive him away.

One day, Rong Shanbao was riding a sedan home from the tea farm. He heard an old lady making a noise at the door of his house. The old woman claimed to be Rong Shanbao's wet nurse. Her hometown was hit by a disaster and she came here to seek refuge.Rong Shanbao was sitting in the sedan chair through the gauze curtain, and saw that it was indeed the wet nurse Bo. She lived in a very remote place, and she would not have been able to walk here on her own two legs. Moreover, there was a ceremony coming soon. She was worried that the wet nurse had ulterior motives and did not let her enter the Rong Mansion.

Because of the rich family background, Rong Mansion has never been without disputes, but this time it seems that there is another villain at play.Rong Shanbao asked Lu Jianglai to call her into the room, give her a jade pendant, and ask Lu Jianglai to quietly investigate what little moves Bo had made recently in contact with people in Rong Mansion.

The facts turned out to be as Rong Shanbao expected. As soon as Bo was kicked out, the eldest young master of Rong Mansion quietly asked him to leave. The eldest young master of Rong Mansion gave Bo a bag of gold and asked Bo to tell more about Rong Shanbao's story before coming to Rong Mansion.Mr. Bo then told the story he had prepared before.The eldest young master has always been jealous of Rong Shanbao's control over the affairs of the Rong Mansion. Now he finally found some excuses and wished to control her as soon as possible.

Song Yunxi knew about the arrival of wet nurse Bo. She deliberately planned to have Rong Shanbao fabricated and falsely accuse Rong Shanbao of not being a real Rong family member. In this way, Rong Shanbao would be ruined. In order to prevent Rong Shanbao from having a chance to stand up, Song Yunxi chose to report in public at the tea ceremony that Rong Shanbao was not a real tea bone.

The ancestor worship ceremony was originally very important in the Du Yurong Mansion. Now many local celebrities and lofty ideals are present. Now the second son of the Rong Mansion openly questioned the Tea Bone. The old lady of the Rong Mansion was shocked and sad. However, Song Junxi had already put up a good posture, and the old lady had to uphold justice.

Lu Jianglai discovered the strangeness of the eldest young master in advance, and secretly tied him up and presented him to everyone. This Bo family was originally talking nonsense, but now someone proved that her arrival in Rong Mansion was planned by someone, with both personal and material evidence. Bo family wanted to run away, but Song Yunxi didn't know how to hold back, and immediately claimed that Rong Shanbao was not a real tea bone, and the real tea bone was Rong Yunwan!

Rong Junwan was brought out. She had evidence of dementia originally. After Song Junxi's threats, she became even more panicked. She usually had some ability to distinguish tea leaves, but now she was so timid that she went crazy.Rong Shanbao immediately covered Rong Yunwan's eyes and pulled her to him. Rong Yunwan had grown up safely under the protection of Rong Shanbao, so she was very dependent on Rong Shanbao.The old lady was very angry at Song Junxi's performance, temporarily interrupted the tea ceremony, and called a group of children of the Rong Mansion to the backyard.

The eldest young master was knocked unconscious by the old lady's cane, and Song Yunxi was also punished. Although Song Yunxi insisted that she was doing it for Rongfu, the old lady was like Ming Jing in her heart. She always hated fighting openly and secretly, and she usually taught them to put the interests of Rongfu first. Unexpectedly, this time, Song Yunxi caused Rongfu to lose face in front of everyone because of his own selfishness.

Episode 10

After a short break, Lu Jianglai asked Rong Shanbao about his questions. Rong Shanbao told him that the so-called "tea bone" refers to people who are born with talent for tea tasting and tea making. However, no matter how talented you are, you must continue to learn. Being born proficient is just people's wishful thinking.Song Yunxi kept making little moves in the middle, and she was as clear as a mirror, but this time it was thanks to Lu Jianglai that she was able to handle things properly.

Lu Jianglai admired Rong Shanbao very much, and after this meritorious service, he asked Rong Shanbao what reward he would give. Rong Shanbao asked his men to bring him gold ingots and Tianqi pavilion, preparing to reward him with generous gifts, but Lu Jianglai didn't care about these, and their eyes met.

After making the eldest lady unhappy, Lu Jianglai thought he would be expelled from Rong Mansion, but Rong Shanbao asked Lu Jianglai to wait through the door. This sentence gave Lu Jianglai a lot of hope. Since he was not kicked out, he could continue to help Rong Shanbao.

The tea ceremony was held again, and Rong Shanbao tied the red ribbon for blessing on the ancient tea tree. After the ceremony, the old lady publicly guaranteed and proposed to choose a son-in-law for Rong Shanbao.Rong Shanbao came to the man asking for marriage with a jade pendant. There were the gentle Bai Yingsheng, the considerate and warm-hearted cousin Wen, and the courageous and tenacious Lu Jianglai. Rong Shanbao held the jade pendant and passed by Bai Yingsheng and Cousin Wen.Arriving in front of Lu Jianglai, Rong Shanbao looked into Lu Jianglai's eyes with tenderness. He was about to give the jade pendant to Lu Jianglai. At this time, Yang Dingcheng stretched out his hand, revealing the jade bracelet on his wrist, and whispered to Rong Shanbao not to make the wrong choice!

When Rong Shanbao saw the jade bracelet on Yang Dingcheng's wrist, his heart tightened. His hands began to tremble slightly, with a complicated expression on his face. After a moment of hesitation, he finally thrust the jade pendant for his son-in-law into Yang Dingcheng's hand!The old lady was a little surprised when she saw Rong Shanbao's behavior in front. Not only the old lady, but also Lu Jianglai and the second girl felt strange.

He Xingming used the secret recipe of Huqiu tea as a betrothal gift and asked the old lady to marry Song Yunshu. Song Yunshu was blind since childhood. He was always bullied by his fourth sister in Rong Mansion and had a poor life experience. The old lady agreed after seeing the child, so he followed her wishes.

Cousin Wen felt sad. He thought that he and Rong Shanbao, who had grown up together and were childhood sweethearts, would be chosen in the end, but he didn't expect to lose.Lu Jianglai was naturally sad, but he could pretend. Bai Yingsheng packed his bags in despair and prepared to leave Rong Mansion. Lu Jianglai advised him to stay for a few more days. If the old lady could write him a letter of recommendation, he would be able to study hard for ten years less.Bai Yingsheng suddenly realized that this was indeed the case. He was from a poor background. If he could get the recommendation from the old lady of Rong Mansion, he would have a much wider road in the future. He immediately put down his luggage and said that he would wait until he had a wedding drink before leaving.

Cousin Wen couldn't sit still. He ran straight to Rong Shanbao to ask for explanation. Rong Shanbao explained that because he had a gentle temperament and a soft heart, he was not suitable to live in Rongfu at all. Cousin Wen asked again with red eyes why he chose Yang Dingcheng?This person killed a lot of people and was cruel and violent. He would definitely not treat her well in the future.Rong Shanbao turned to look at Cousin Wen. This was his brother who cared about her and worried about him, but he was still weak and simple, and could not support her. Rong Shanbao shook his head and left.

Lu Jianglai returned to his residence and was so angry that he threw the tea cup on the ground. When he felt calmer, he put away his temper and continued to do his job.

Rong Shanbao went to his yard and found that Lu Jianglai had planted many tea trees in the original open space. Rong Shanbao had reserved this land for wild tea trees before, but after cultivating them for a long time, they had not sprouted. It would be a good idea to plant other tea trees now. Rong Shanbao silently agreed to Lu Jianglai's approach. She helped to apply soil to the trees, and then asked Lu Jianglai if he had anything to say.Lu Jianglai said very wisely that since Rong Shanbao made the choice, there must be a last resort reason, as long as Rong Shanbao can be happy.

Lu Jianglai was smart and responsible, so he naturally won Rong Shanbao's favor. But right now, Rong Shanbao had more important things to do, so he had no choice but to agree to Yang Dingcheng.

Grandma called Rong Shanbao in private. Grandma thought that Yan Bailou had good character and had good tea cultivation skills, and he could indeed become Rong Shanbao's right-hand man in the future. However, Rong Shanbao did not say the reason and insisted on his choice. Grandma knew Rong Shanbao's temper and could only sigh and worry.

Episode 11

Yan Bailou was invited by the old lady to enjoy the moon together. He met Rongjunxi in the corridor. Rongjunxi always appeared in the place where Yan Bailou must pass. Yan Bailou understood that the other party intended to approach, and directly refused, saying that the other party was not a star that could make him enlightened, and then walked away.Rong Junxi heard from Yan Bailou's words that the other party was not a thing in the pool. Since she couldn't control him, she no longer asked for trouble.

Late at night, Lu Jianglai couldn't sleep. He loved Rong Shanbao deeply, just like he admired the bright moon in the sky, but the other person chose someone else. It was really painful. Lu Jianglai couldn't help but go under the big tea tree where Rong Shanbao often went, recalling every moment when he met Rong Shanbao.After a while, Rong Shanbao also came. Seeing Lu Jianglai standing under the tea tree and enjoying the wind, Rong Shanbao knew that Lu Jianglai was a rare man and did not want to miss it easily.

Rong Shanbao called Yang Dingchen to the ancestral hall of Rongfu. There were two totem pillars, dragon and phoenix, in the ancestral hall. Rong Shanbao told Yang Dingchen about the rules of Rongfu. Since ancient times, children born into Rongfu have the surname of Rongfu.Also, the Rong family has always valued the harmony of the piano and the harp. If a woman does not recognize her husband, she will not be able to enter the Rong family's ancestral hall. Therefore, even if Yang Dingchen holds the Rong family's handle, he will be nothing more than a foil throughout his life and will not be able to enter the ancestral hall in this life.

Yang Dingchen was furious and raised his hands to hit someone, but when he saw the calm Rong Shanbao standing proudly in front of her, he couldn't do it. Yang Dingchen knew some secrets of Rong Mansion. If they were told, it would insult the century-old honor of Rong Mansion. In order to take the overall situation into consideration, Rong Shanbao had to compromise and agreed to Yang Dingchen.Knowing that he could not let Rong Shanbao compromise, Yang Dingchen began to act rogue. As long as he got Rong Shanbao, it was not important whether he could keep the beauty's heart.

Rong Shanbao returned to his boudoir and lay on the couch. He couldn't help but feel angry when he thought of Yang Dingchen's face. Fortunately, he met Lu Jianglai tonight. Rong Shanbao picked up a camellia where Lu Jianglai stayed and used this camellia to accompany him to sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, Yang Dingchen sent someone with wedding supplies to find someone to make a bed in Rong Mansion, preparing to move into Rong Mansion that night.According to custom, one should wait until the wedding day to make the bed at the groom's house, but Yang Dingchen went up the pole to the bride's house. The servants started whispering, but Yang Dingchen ignored them and stepped directly into Rong Shanbao's room.Lu Jianglai heard about Yang Dingchen's recklessness and was worried that Rong Shanbao would not be able to cope with it, so he rushed over and sent Rong Shanbao away because there was a problem with the tea trees in the tea farm.Yang Dingchen also specifically told Rong Shanbao not to forget to come back early.

Lu Jianglai drove a carriage to take Rong Shanbao to the lively market. Passers-by were coming and going on the street, and there were many grocery stores. The sellers' cries were very interesting. Rong Shanbao was sitting on the carriage, still worried about how to face the evening. When he opened the carriage window, he saw women on both sides of the street buying flowers and other exquisite accessories, as well as various passers-by. They were always busy with tea business and did not pay attention to such a beautiful scene. Rong Shanbao felt relieved a lot.Lu Jianglai took Rong Shanbao to the market and took a boat to relax. It was not until evening that he sent Rong Shanbao back.

On the boat on the river, Lu Jianglai asked Rong Shanbao if he had any plans that he needed help with, and he would definitely complete them with all his strength.Rong Shanbao asked if she killed someone, would Lu Jianglai risk his life to help bury the body?Lu Jianglai nodded in affirmation without hesitation, but regretted that Rong Shanbao was not an impulsive person and would not take extreme measures. It was because of this that Yang Dingchen's plan succeeded.

Rong Shanbao returned to Rong Mansion and saw the bright red wedding curtain reflected in his room and Yang Dingchen's shadow at the door. Rong Shanbao felt sad and finally turned away and walked away.

Lu Jianglai looked sadly at the portrait he had quietly made for Rong Shanbao in the room, and felt heartbroken when he thought that Rong Shanbao and Yang Dingchen would share the same bed tonight.At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Episode 12

The person who came was Rong Shanbao. Lu Jianglai asked her in a hurry if she was okay. Rong Shanbao shook his head. The personal maid brought toiletries, sleeping supplies, etc. Rong Shanbao saw the portrait that Lu Jianglai made for her. It seemed that they had a lot of friendship, so he joked that the people in the painting were not as interesting as real people after all. Why did they buy caskets and return pearls, so they decided to stay overnight.

Lu Jianglai was naturally happy, but after being happy, she felt uneasy. Now she didn't know her identity and couldn't decide whether she could give Rong Shanbao happiness. She was a little uneasy. Rong Shanbao reassured him that he didn't have to worry. He liked the current Lu Jianglai. No matter who he was in his previous life, it didn't matter now. After saying that, Rong Shanbao took off his clothes and lay directly on Lu Jianglai's bed.

How many people wished for it, and now that Rong Shanbao came to their door, for Lu Jianglai, it was like a miracle from heaven. However, Lu Jianglai refused to take advantage of others' danger and covered Rong Shanbao with the quilt, while he lay aside peacefully and behaved himself.That night, the two of them lived in peace until dawn.

Cousin Wen came to Yan Bailou's room to sleep all night because he felt uncomfortable. In the early morning, Cousin Wen and Yan Bailou saw Rong Shanbao coming out of Lu Jianglai's room. Both of their eyes widened. At this moment, a servant came in panic and reported that Yang Dingchen had been killed and the room was full of blood.

This wave of new news was really exciting. Everyone was shocked by the accidental death of Yang Dingchen, and seemed to have forgotten Rong Shanbao's romantic affair last night.Yang Dingchen's father came to inquire and called court officials to investigate the case.

Rong Shanbao went out to greet the court investigators, all in accordance with etiquette. The family of the official who investigated the case inspected the scene, and did not criticize Rong Shanbao more. Instead, he repeatedly mentioned in his words that he admired the look and majesty of the old lady of Rongfu. Rong Shanbao immediately asked his servants to report to the old lady and receive the officials grandly.

Next to Yang's father, Rong Shanbao saw a man who looked exactly like Yang Dingchen - Yang Yitang. This man was Yang Dingchen's brother. Although he looked similar, his personality was completely different. This character was more stable and deep.

Before the officials arrived, Lu Jianglai quietly sneaked into the room to check. The room where Yang Dingchen died was in a mess. It can be seen that Yang Dingchen learned that Rong Shanbao had gone to rest elsewhere last night. He broke many things in a rage and found a bloody half-footprint on the floor. The shoeprint had a pattern of five poisons. He carefully drew the pattern.

Hearing the sound of the government outside, Lu Jianglai immediately ran out of the room. Through the gap in the window, he saw that the leading official's clothes were very familiar. The pattern seemed to be something he had worn before. Many memories came to him. Rong Shanbao vaguely remembered that this man pushed him off the cliff, and he rose to prominence because of it.Rong Shanbao came to see Lu Jianglai and told him that when he did not find the perpetrator, he must hide it to avoid causing trouble.

The official called all the ladies and servants in the house for interrogation. The shoe prints left in the room also made the official pay attention and prepare to check one by one what everyone did last night.

Cousin Wen stood up and said that he had seen Bai Yingsheng return to the house in the early morning, and lied that he had gone to the tea tree in the yard. In fact, there was a lot of dirt on his boots, which was obviously from outside. Bai Yingsheng was lying. The investigators asked him where he went last night.In this way, Bai Yingsheng was cleared of suspicion, and then Rong Junxi clung to Rong Shanbao, asking where Rong Shanbao went last night.

Cousin Wen sent his servants to call Lu Jiang in case Rong Shanbao could not explain clearly.Lu Jianglai knew clearly that he wanted to avoid officials, but he still stepped forward because he was worried about Rong Shanbao facing difficult things alone.Lu Jianglai solved the problem in public that night and Rong Shanbao was with him. Lu Jianglai proved Rong Shanbao's innocence, but at the same time he also brought trouble to himself. When the official saw Lu Jianglai, his panic was clearly visible.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Rong Mansion provided the ladies with boot sizes, the official quietly took Lu Jianglai to another room and lied that he had been secretly protecting Lu Jianglai. He did not know if Lu Jianglai had risked his life and went deep into Rong Mansion to investigate the case.Lu Jianglai had a severe headache, and for a while it was difficult to tell whether what the other party said was true or false. Fortunately, at this time, many memories emerged clearly one by one, and Lu Jianglai understood the general idea.

Episode 13

Master Lang, who was ordered to investigate the case in Lairong Mansion, called Lu Jianglai to a room alone. At first, Master Lang's men were very rude to Lu Jianglai, until Master Lang figured out that Lu Jianglai had indeed lost his memory, he immediately bowed his hands and repeatedly praised Lu Jianglai's clever plan, sayingHe followed the strategy he said. In order to solve the Wei family's case, Lu Jianglai tried every means to sneak into the Rong Mansion to find out the truth. Then he approached Xu Song to show his favor, and then he was promoted to this level. When they solved the Wei family's case, there would be rewards from the emperor.

Lu Jianglai learned from him that he was originally a patrol officer appointed by the emperor himself. He couldn't help being pleasantly surprised, thinking that he could be on a par with Rong Shanbao. The memory in his mind came and went. At this time, he completely believed what Lang said.When Rong Shanbao heard Master Lang inviting Lu Jianglai over, he hurried over uneasy. Lu Jianglai was the only one left in the room. He hid his ecstasy and never said what Master Lang had just told him.

When Rong Shanbao saw Lu Jianglai's expression, she felt that there must be something fishy in it. She asked her men to pay close attention to Mr. Lang, who had just come to investigate the case, and at the same time, she also had people secretly pay attention to Lu Jianglai.Fortunately, Rong Shanbao took precautions. A few days later, Lu Jianglai went out alone and was quickly targeted by four or five people. The other party aggressively demanded that Lu Jianglai repay his gambling debts. Lu Jianglai immediately became vigilant. He had never gambled badly, so how could he have gambling debts?When the other party saw that he could not be fooled, he wanted to take him away by force.The boy beside Lu Jianglai was knocked down. Seeing Lu Jianglai being taken away by them, the boy immediately sent out a signal.

Lu Jianglai could have fought one against five, but the opponent used damaging moves and put a big net to catch Lu Jianglai. The opponent obviously knew Lu Jianglai's true identity and shouted not to blame them, saying that he was about to stab him with a sharp dagger.An arrow shot away the assailant's dagger, and a dozen servants from the Rong Mansion rushed over. When the other party saw that the situation was not good, they ran away.

The boy brought Lu Jianglai back to Rong Mansion safely. Lu Jianglai's arm was injured and he was bleeding.Rong Shanbao heard the news and hurried over. While bandaging Lu Jianglai with his own hands, he told Lu Jianglai about Lu Jianglai's past that he had investigated. He told Lu Jianglai that he was originally a patrol sent by the emperor to Jiangnan. He fell into a cliff after being plotted by someone. He would then have to peel off the cocoon to find out what was behind it.The deceiver, Rong Shanbao, asked Lu Jianglai to be careful about Mr. Lang. Lu Jianglai was dubious, but as soon as he left the Rong family, he was tricked by others. It can be seen that these people have never let him go. Fortunately, Rong Shanbao protected him in the Rong family and has survived to this day.

Song Junyin finally remembered that the footprints belonged to Rong Junwan. She quickly told Song Junxi and wanted to tell the old lady, but Song Junxi stopped her in time.Song Yunxi went to find He Xingchen that night. The two of them worked together and secretly planned for a while, and something happened that night.

Song Junxi privately coerced the maid who was taking care of Rong Junwan. The maid quietly led Rong Junwan to the backyard at night and told Rong Junwan that Mother Xu, whom Rong Junwan missed so much, was there. As a result, when Rong Junwan went there, he was pushed into a large water tank by a man in white clothes and suffocated to death.That night, Lu Jianglai accidentally saw He Xingchen entertaining Bai Yingsheng, and the two were talking and laughing. Lu Jianglai was confused at the time. Bai Yingsheng had just cuckolded He Xingchen, how could the two of them talk and laugh now? Lu Jianglai felt something was wrong at the time, so he secretly watched them as his subordinates.

During the banquet, He Xingchen kept pouring wine into Bai Yingsheng, and Bai Yingsheng soon fell unconscious. After Lu Jianglai heard that Rong Junwan had been drowned, he hurried to find Bai Yingsheng and found him drunk in a puddle of mud.

When Rong Junwan was drowned, Rong Shanbao was still at the teahouse. He learned the bad news about his little sister just after returning home. Rong Shanbao was in great pain, and the old lady also went to the scene.The third girl immediately said in a weird way that Rong Shanbao was usually taking care of her, mocking Rong Shanbao for not taking good care of him. Rong Shanbao was just grieving and had no time to care about what the people below were saying. When she saw Lu Jianglai was there, she couldn't help crying on Lu Jianglai's shoulder, muttering that her sister had been killed!

Episode 14

Bai Yingsheng was brought in front of everyone. Since a servant saw a figure that looked like Bai Yingsheng, an interrogation was inevitable. Bai Yingsheng told the truth that he was drinking in He Xingming's room at that time. He Xingming immediately said that this was true, but Bai Yingsheng became drunk after only two glasses of wine. He just sent him to the room. As for whether Bai Yingsheng went to the back garden alone after that, he did not know.

He Xingming deliberately threw dirty water on Bai Yingsheng, and now the second girl has come forward. Bai Yingsheng defended that he did not go to the back garden, but was framed by He Xingming. He might have gone on a date with Rong Yunshu. Bai Yingsheng wanted to argue that the note he received did not go to the back garden, and hoped that Rong Yunshu could testify for it. However, Rong Yunshu was a weakling. In order not to offend the second sister, he immediately claimed that the note he wrote was in the back garden.

Seeing Bai Yingsheng's expression, Lu Jianglai didn't believe that Bai Yingsheng was the victim. He openly stood up to support that Bai Yingsheng had no motive for the murder, but he had no stronger evidence.Lu Jianglai tried his best to ask the old lady to give him a few days to investigate the truth. Of course the old lady knew there was something fishy and handed Bai Yingsheng directly to the government.

Rong Shanbao was the most devastated when Rong Yunwan was killed. She was completely naked and openly ignored the opinions of outsiders. The rules of the Rong Mansion once prohibited women from attending funerals. Rong Yunyin felt guilty and came to ask Rong Shanbao when the funeral would be held. Rong Shanbao responded rudely, saying that Rong Yunyin was not worthy of being a sister at all.

At that time, it was not only Bai Yingsheng who was sent to the government, but also many servants who worked. However, these servants were sent to prison and still refused to tell any clues. Lu Jianglai was eager to investigate the truth, so he sent the servants around him to prison, hoping to get some valuable clues.

Sure enough, the boy Lu Jianglai sent in was very smart. In just two days, he discovered two suspicious people. This person heard from the jailer that he only needed forty taels of silver to be free, and he had an idea.There was another person who was also anxious to go out that night, so he discussed it with this person, which almost killed him.

As a result, both of them were brought to Lu Jianglai. Lu Jianglai had experience in interrogation, and soon learned that a servant saw He Xingchen burning Yang Dingchen's bloody clothes that night.What the other party said seemed true, and Lu Jianglai immediately returned to Rong Mansion, preparing to search for the bloody clothes.

He Xingchen felt guilty about being a thief, so he went to see Rong Shanbao alone that night. He first mocked Rong Shanbao because he was afraid of outsiders saying that Rong Junwan was the real tea bone.Rong Shanbao noticed that He Xingchen's state was different from usual, and tried not to anger him. Soon Lu Jiang came over. He Xingchen saw that his behavior was exposed, and took Rong Shanbao as a hostage.

Rong Shanbao cleverly deceived He Xingchen and ran out while he was unprepared, but the dagger in He Xingchen's hand also flew towards Rong Shanbao. Rong Shanbao was secretly surprised when he saw the dagger flying towards her.

Episode 15

Seeing that He Xingchen's dagger was about to hit Rong Shanbao, Lu Jianglai quickly grabbed Rong Shanbao, grabbed the dagger with one hand and threw it directly at He Xingchen. He Xingchen was shot in the vital part and was about to die. He pulled the dagger out of his heart with his own hands. Lu Jianglai immediately pulled Rong Shanbao behind him, but this time, He Xingchen did not stab Rong Shanbao again, but died of regret.

When He Xingchen was dying, he only saw Rong Shanbao's smiling face. He didn't like beauties, but this time he tried his best to defeat himself.Soon, the officials came over and ordered people to carry away the dead He Xingchen, and the case was settled.

After everyone left the room, Rong Shanbao told Lu Jianglai to reduce his meetings with Lord Lang in the future. The other party wanted to get rid of Lu Jianglai as soon as possible. Of course, Lu Jianglai knew very well that there was no witness around him who could prove it, and he even lost his official seal, so he couldn't act rashly. It was safe to stay in seclusion in Rong Mansion for now.

At night, Lu Jianglai was lying on the bed and felt that something was wrong. He thought about the whole thing from beginning to end, and immediately woke up the young man, took the shovel and went straight to the tea mountain.

Arriving at Rong Junwan's cemetery, Lu Jianglai directed Jun Dai to prepare for excavation. At this time, a voice came from behind, and Lu Jiang Lai hurriedly took Jun Dai to hide.The visitor was Rong Shanbao. Rong Shanbao brought memorial cakes and candles to his sister in person. He murmured that he missed his sister every day during this period. It must be that his sister also missed this sister. Rong Shanbao came to talk to her.Lu Jianglai hid in the dark and overheard Rong Shanbao's words. He felt that Rong Shanbao had a true sisterly love for Rong Junwan, so he stopped instructing Jun to dig the grave.

Bai Yingsheng was acquitted, and Rong Yunshu went to greet him in person. Bai Yingsheng couldn't hide his happiness when he saw Rong Yunshu's sedan.It turns out that Bai Yingsheng was plotted by He Xingming. He had already known it, but he was just being used as a scapegoat to give Rong Shanbao some time to investigate.On the day Rong Junwan was killed, Rong Yunshu had discovered some clues and quickly stopped the eldest sister's sedan. The eldest sister already knew about it and told Song Yunshu not to tell anyone.So although Song Yunshu didn't speak for Bai Yingsheng on the surface that night in Rong Mansion, it was actually to let Bai Yingsheng make contributions to Rong Shanbao. Rong Shanbao expressed his gratitude and wrote a letter of recommendation for Bai Yingsheng. It would be much easier to go to Beijing to take the exam in the future.

Rong Shanbao returned home after sweeping the tomb and entered the secret room. Rong Junwan was not dead, and his godmother was also there.It turned out that Rong Shanbao was aware of the coming danger, so in order to protect his godmother and sister, he had to resort to tricks. From then on, Rong Junwan and his godmother were sent to a safe place, and they no longer had to worry.

Sure enough, the Yang family did not give up. The Rong family sent more betrothal gifts, thinking of letting Yang Yitang marry Yang Dingchen instead.The old lady saw that the man in front of her was exactly the same as the late Yang Yitang, and thinking that the Yang family was also a big family, the old lady had to argue that Yang Yitang should live in Xinfang Pavilion first, and wait until Rong Shanbao went to see her and listen to her opinion.

Yang Yitang is also an ambitious man, but he is more calm than Yang Dingchen. Although he is a twin brother, he has always pretended to be weak. This time when he heard that Yang Dingchen was killed in Rong Mansion, he was too excited and pretended to be reluctant on the surface. His father reminded him that RongThe family had a great business, and being able to enter the Zirong Mansion would bring them endless wealth. He also asked Yang Yitang to pay attention to one more person. This person was Wei Kejian's wife and Yang Yitang's aunt. Even though she was an aunt, Yang's father also asked Yang Yitang to eliminate the roots when necessary.

When Wen Can saw Rong Shanbao personally teaching Lu Jianglai how to identify tea leaves, he was filled with jealousy. He felt that Lu Jiang came to find out the evidence of He Xingchen's crimes last time. Moreover, just after He Xingchen died, the imperial envoy arrived. He always felt that Lu Jianglai had colluded with the government. Yan Bailou told Wen Can not to stir up trouble without permission, but Wen Can couldn't bear it.He found someone to quietly investigate Lu Jianglai, and soon discovered that Lu Jiang came to the boy to deliver a letter.

Wen Can intercepted a superstitious letter sent by Lu Jianglai without permission and found a secret wax letter in the cake. Wen Can brought the physical evidence to Rong Shanbao. Rong Shanbao was dubious, but still tried to protect Lu Jianglai. After everyone retreated, Lu Jianglai told Rong Shanbao that the content of the wax letter was to ask his master to rush to Lai Ji to prove that he was the real Jiangnan patrol.Fortunately, Rong Shanbao had just chosen to trust Lu Jianglai. This time, in order to protect Lu Jianglai's safety, Rong Shanbao personally ordered Lu Jianglai to move to her wing.

Episode 16

Lu Jianglai's bedding was moved into Rong Shanbao's room. This was a dream for many men, but Lu Jianglai felt uneasy when he saw his bedding put together with Rong Shanbao's., At the moment, Yan Bailou, Wen Can and the new Yang Yitang, who looks exactly like Yang Dingchen, are all in Rong Mansion, but he is the first to occupy the magpie's nest, without any name or distinction. Lu Jianglai is naturally worried.However, Rong Shanbao asked Lu Jianglai to help reply to the greeting card sent by the customer, and calmly told Lu Jianglai that he would wait until night to decide whether to sleep on the bed or not.

Rong Shanbao left Lu Jianglai alone in the room to reply to the post. This was actually a test to see if Lu Jianglai had other plans. Fortunately, although Lu Jianglai was curious, he knew how to behave. He once heard Rong Shanbao say that there was a secret room in the room, but Lu Jianglai still wouldn't open it easily without permission, so he kept replying until night.

This Yang Yitang is not a fuel-efficient lamp. During the day, he heard that Lu Jianglai's luggage had been moved to Rong Shanbao's room. He became jealous and first went to Wen Can to fan the flames. Wen Can was wrapping exquisite rice dumplings for Rong Shanbao with his own hands. Hearing Yang Yitang's description, his eyes became red with anger.After Yang Yitang left, the servant beside Wen Can kindly told Wen Can not to be fooled by Yang Yitang. When Yang Yitang came to Rong Mansion, he coaxed the old lady around. Now even Yan Bailou rarely greets him, so Yang Yitang is more insidious than Yang Dingchen.Although Wen Can was simple-minded, after hearing what the servant said, he understood that it was best to suppress his dissatisfaction during this period.

In the evening, Lu Jianglai was first forced to take a bath by the servant. The bathing soup was specially made with musk, osmanthus oil and rose petals. Lu Jianglai was flattered, and after bathing, he was pushed into the room by the servant.Lu Jianglai saw Rong Shanbao's shadow on the bed. There was only a curtain between the two of them. Lu Jianglai thought that he came to Rong Mansion to investigate the case, and his thoughts were not simple. If he had an affair with the eldest lady again, Rong Shanbao would definitely not forgive him if he knew about it in the future.

Lu Jianglai kept things secret in his mind and did not dare to have further contact with Rong Shanbao. Although Rong Shanbao tried his best to tease, Lu Jianglai closed his eyes and silently recited “See No Evil”“hear No Evil”. Rong Shanbao verified Lu Jianglai's bottom line and finally felt relieved. He also told Lu Jianglai how to use the mechanisms in the room. After that, he threw Lu Jianglai's quilt under the bed and let him sleep on the floor at night.

Many officials have not investigated Linji's case clearly. Lu Jianglai wanted to find out the truth, but now that he has moved under Rong Shanbao's nose, walking is not as convenient as before. After Lu Jianglai considered it, he specially dressed himself up and rode a tall horse through the city. Passers-by couldn't help but whisper when they saw Lu Jianglai's pomp.Lu Jianglai's high-profile behavior made the imposter Lang Zhusheng worried. In order to get rid of Lu Jianglai as soon as possible, some shady tricks began to work quietly again.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Several sisters invited Rong Shanbao to drink tea. Rong Shanbao played chess as an excuse and reminded Rong Junxi that only the sisters can unite as one to avoid chaos.But Rong Junxi still didn't repent, and confidently claimed that the Rong family could not grow big alone.

There was a commotion at the door of Rong Mansion. A woman with three children knocked on the door and asked for help. The woman claimed to be Lu Jianglai's first wife, and she was now looking for her father with her children.Lu Jianglai had never been married before, but it was really embarrassing to see such a scene. When Rong Shanbao walked outside, the woman insisted that her husband had a mole on his shoulder. Rong Shanbao asked Jun Dai for confirmation. Jun Dai knelt on the ground and trembled and said that it was indeed the case. Rong Shanbao could not be criticized by others in Rong Mansion. In order to prevent the situation from further escalating, Rong Shanbao kicked Lu Jianglai out of Rong Mansion.
