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.
