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.
