Chapter 191 Madam, something happened
After getting what she wanted, Zhou remembered that Xu Rong was still with Zheng. She stood up and said, "Then let's go back to the main hall."
Having said that, he went out first.
Perhaps she was really anxious, so Zhou hurried out with the box in her arms.
Hu and Sun followed her out. When they got outside, Hu whispered to Sun, "What did Jiang Xiyu give her? Could it really be those top-notch items?"
Sun, who knew the whole story, had an unfathomable expression on her face, with a mocking smile on her lips, "Do you think Jiang Xiyu is stupid?"
Mrs. Hu was silent. If it were in the past, she would have answered yes without hesitation. But it seemed that since Xu Rui came back to life, Jiang Xiyu had completely changed. She was no longer the silly woman she used to be.
Mrs. Hu shook her head.
"That's it, let's go."
Sun took a big step forward.
Jiang Xiyu fell behind at the end, and Qing'er took the opportunity to whisper a few words in her ear.
Suddenly, Jiang Xiyu's expression changed slightly, a hint of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he whispered a few words to Qing'er.
"You go now."
"Yes." Qing'er responded and ran out again immediately.

The guest garden of the Princess's Mansion.
Xu Rong looked at Zhou Lai lying on the bed like a fat pig, and a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.
She wanted to kill him with a knife, but she also knew that she couldn't touch Zhou Lai now.
He took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, unscrewed the lid and put it to Zhou Lai's nose for him to smell. As soon as he put the porcelain bottle back into his sleeve, Zhou Lai woke up.
"Why are you here?" Zhou Lai saw Xu Rong beside his bed and sat up vigilantly.
Xu Rong turned to the table and poured him a cup of tea, then handed it to him, "Drink some tea to sober you up."
"sober up?"
Zhou Lai covered her slightly aching head and looked around. Then she remembered that she had been staring at Xu Rong in the living room. She didn't know how she fainted and woke up in bed.
"That's right. You drank too much this afternoon, so I helped you to the guest room to sleep for a while. How are you now?"
Zhou Lai stared at her suspiciously, obviously not believing what she said.
He remembered that he seemed to have drunk a cup of tea and then felt dizzy. He had no recollection of what happened afterwards.
Could it be that they drugged him so that they could talk alone?
When Zhou Lai thought of this, he stared at Xu Rong in shock.
Could it be that she told everything to Zheng?
Xu Rong didn't even give Zhou Lai a chance to speak, and directly changed the subject, "I want to ask you for help with something."
"What?" Zhou Lai still stared at her warily.
"I'm going to..." Xu Rong leaned close to Zhou Lai and whispered a few words.
Zhou Lai looked at Xu Rong in shock, "Are you crazy? You even dared to touch Xu Rui's things."
She doesn't want her life, but he does.
Seeing the fear in Zhou Lai's eyes, Xu Rong rolled her eyes in disgust. "He's not in Kyoto now, so my mother should make the decision. Besides, he owes me this anyway, so why should I be afraid?"
Not to mention that Xu Rui is not in Kyoto, even if he was in the mansion today, she would settle this account with him.
Thinking of this, Xu Rong was filled with anger. She raised her chin towards Zhou Lai and said, "Just tell me whether you will help me or not."
"Help." Zhou Lai pondered for a moment and spoke as if he had made up his mind.
He was afraid of Xu Rui in his heart, but when he thought of what Xu Rui had done to him, he always kept it in mind. Now that he had the chance, how could he let it go?

When Jiang Xiyu, Zhou and the others returned to the main hall, it was empty.
Zhou didn't see Xu Rong and Zheng, and panicked. She grabbed a servant and asked anxiously, "Where are your old lady and young lady?"
"This slave doesn't know."
The servants who were hurt by her grip dared not break free and could only endure it silently.
Zhou became even more anxious and held the servant's hand tighter and tighter.
If Xu Rong and Zheng said something wrong, everything would be over, but thinking that Zhou Lai was always watching Xu Rong, there shouldn't be any problem.
Trying hard to suppress the fear in her heart, Zhou let go of the servant's hand and shouted angrily, "I don't know, why don't you go find someone for me."
She treated this place as her Zhou home. Jiang Xiyu, Hu and Sun looked a little unhappy, but they didn't say anything at the time.
Jiang Xiyu narrowed her eyes slightly and spoke meaningfully, "Aunt, my sister and mother must be at home. What are you worried about?"
Jiang Xiyu's words brought Zhou back to her senses. She had almost revealed her true identity just now. She suppressed her expression and tried to pull the corners of her mouth, "Xu Rong is pregnant now. How can I not worry? If she bumps into something or falls, I will be heartbroken."
Having said that, without waiting for Jiang Xiyu to speak, he rushed out with Zazi in his arms.
As soon as Zhou walked out of the main hall, she saw several guards running towards her.
"Madam, something happened." Several people walked around Zhou and said anxiously to Jiang Xiyu.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Xiyu didn't seem surprised and looked calm.
However, Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Sun next to them became a little nervous after hearing what the guards said. Mrs. Zhou stopped running and turned to look at the guards.
The guards bowed and reported, "There's been a thief in the Marquis's courtyard. Someone is stealing the Marquis's things."
"What?" Before Jiang Xiyu could say anything, Hu and Sun exclaimed in surprise.
Mrs. Hu yelled at them, "Someone is stealing the Marquis's things, why don't you go and catch them?"
The guard looked at Hu without saying anything or moving.
It’s not that they don’t want to catch him, but they don’t dare to touch that person, so they can only come to Jiang Xiyu.
Sun was also angry and said, "Who is so bold? This is the Princess's residence, and they dare to steal the Marquis's things."
Normally, servants were not allowed to get close to Xu Rui's yard because there were always guards guarding it. I don't know how those thieves were so bold that they even dared to steal in Xu Rui's yard.
Jiang Xiyu frowned and asked, "Is Deji here?"
The guard nodded immediately, "Lord Deji is in the Marquis's courtyard. He was the one who asked us to come find you."
"Let's go check it out everywhere." Jiang Xiyu glanced at Hu and Sun, then headed towards Xu Rui's yard.
Hu and Sun hurried to follow.
Zhou was holding the box and originally wanted to find Xu Rong and Zheng, but she was attracted by this matter and turned around and followed Jiang Xiyu.
Before moving to Jingyu Garden, Xu Rui lived in the main courtyard of the Princess's Mansion. Although some daily necessities have been moved to Jingyu Garden, most of the things are still in the main courtyard.
As soon as they arrived at the main courtyard door, they heard a noise coming from inside.
"Deji, you are so bold! When will it be your turn as a servant to make the decision in our Yonglin Marquis Mansion?"
When they heard the arrogant voice, everyone knew it was Xu Rong.
When Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Sun heard the familiar voice, they looked at each other in shock.
Could it be that the thief the guard was talking about was Xu Rong?
Zhou was originally looking for Xu Rong. When she heard her voice, she walked around them and walked quickly into the yard.
Then Jiang Xiyu, Hu and Sun followed in.
