Chapter 229;

Greetings

Hearing this, Lu Yaoyao turned around with a smile and stared at Qiu Yu in surprise.

Qiu Yu even felt a little scared when she looked at her.

"I used to say that you don't like to use your brain, but today I discovered that you are also very thoughtful."

Hearing this, Qiu Yu chuckled and then raised her chin arrogantly.

"That's right, I just don't like to use my brain. It's not that I don't have any brain."

"Hahaha."

Lu Yaoyao laughed and then turned to look at the stars in the night sky.

"You don't have to find excuses for me. Wrong is wrong, I admit it."

"I also bear the responsibility for this."

Thinking of those things about her mother, she felt an uncontrollable hatred in her heart. It would be impossible for her to walk through this world and try to cover everything.

Regardless of whether he is a good person or a bad person, what if he is ultimately deemed to be a heinous person?

Some things still have to be done.

She was not being pretentious, it was just the first time she had done such a big thing, so she would inevitably feel a little uneasy afterwards.

After all, there are so many lives. It would be terrible if she was indifferent at all.

People are always very conflicted. They have to do something, but after doing it, they will regret and be afraid.

"There is also a slave. I am willing to share the burden with you."

"What are you sharing? Miss, you must not forget this slave."

As soon as Qiu Yu finished speaking, Qiu Shuang's voice came from the courtyard door.

Although she didn't know what she wanted to share, she still wanted to share it without hesitation.

"Hahaha, you guys."

Lu Yaoyao laughed again.

"Miss, what did you just say?"

"Qiu Yu, please tell me."

Hearing this, Qiu Yu quickly explained what had just happened. After Qiu Shuang listened, she solemnly said, "Then this slave will also have a share."

Lu Yaoyao and Qiu Yu laughed again.

"Hey, Sister Qiu Shuang, what did you get?"

Suddenly, Qiu Yu noticed what Qiu Shuang was holding.

Hearing the sound, Lu Yaoyao also turned around and looked over.

"Oh, this is a greeting card. Someone outside just sent it to me."

"Blessings? Whose greetings?"

Lu Yaoyao reached out and asked for it, Qiu Shuang quickly handed it over.

"It's said to be Luo Shi, the old lady of the Dong family in Beijing."

"The Dong family again? Are they finished?"

When she heard that it was the Dong family, Qiu Yu wrinkled her nose and felt very unhappy.

The young lady Han Yu and Ah Xi's maid in front made her very dissatisfied. Now that they have been arrested, they are still going to stop?

"Miss, I think it's better that we don't meet each other."

"When you come to visit me at this time, you must want to ask for mercy."

Listening to Qiu Yu's dissatisfaction, Lu Yaoyao placed the invitation on the stone table nearby.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Qiu Shuang, please send someone to the Dong family in the capital tomorrow morning to give you a reply."

"Since people want to see you two or three times, you should always meet me once, so as not to keep asking for it all the time."

"As for begging for mercy, His Majesty is the one who arrests people. It has nothing to do with me."

Qiu Shuang nodded.

The next day, Lu Yaoyao's reply was delivered to the Dong family's house early in the morning.

After receiving the reply, Dong's father was very happy and repeatedly told his wife to stay calm and lower her attitude, and not to mess up the matter.

Luo Shi naturally understood the importance of this matter. Besides, although she was the old lady of the Dong family, she was actually just a flat-headed lady.

Lu Yaoyao was the current county head, so it was nothing to bow down in front of her. It was normal. Even if the outside world knew about it, no one would be able to say anything bad.

She didn't want to be locked up like her daughter-in-law, labeled as a person who doesn't distinguish between superiority and inferiority, and who despises imperial power.

If that were the case, it would be a shame.

"Master, don't worry, I'm safe."

Luo Shi promised with a smile, and then asked his servants to prepare 20% more gifts.

Then he left the house in a carriage.

As soon as she left, Han Jingcong, the person in charge of the Han family in the capital, asked for a meeting.

Father Dong frowned. He was very clear about Han Jingcong's purpose. To be honest, he didn't really want to see her.

But the relationship between the two families was there. Han Jingcong was Han Yu's fourth uncle. As a relative, he came to visit and had to see him.

"Please."

"Brother Zixiu."

Soon Han Jingcong came in from outside and greeted her as she entered.

"Brother Han, please sit down quickly."

"Someone come and serve tea."

Not long after, the two of them sat down. After the servants served tea, Father Dong said, "Brother Han, are you here because of Ayu?"

"Yes, something happened to Ayu. Brother Zixiu, the father-in-law, doesn't seem to be very worried."

Han Jingcong looked at Dong Zixiu with an unhappy expression.

His tone was full of accusations and dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Dong Zixiu was not angry, but smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Han, these words are serious."

"Ayu is my Dong family's daughter-in-law, so there's no reason not to be anxious. It's just that this matter is not simple."

Yesterday, Han Yu, the daughter-in-law of the Dong family, was taken to Shuntian Mansion, and Concubine Dong was demoted. These news had long spread among the major families in the capital.

Everyone is well aware of the reasons.

Emperor Hongwen ended up personally, how could it be settled so easily?

It's not that Dong Zixiu didn't make any moves, but the reply he got was, His Majesty didn't give the order, so who dares to let go?

Moreover, Han Yu was just imprisoned, and there was no follow-up action against her from above. She was just in prison, and there was no danger for the time being. There was no need to be so anxious. It was not too late to find out the intention of Emperor Hongwen's move before making any plans.

"I heard that Madam-in-law sent a greeting card to the outside of the city yesterday. Are you planning to bow your head?"

Han Jingcong's tone was still a bit aggressive.

Dong Zixiu, who was sitting opposite, felt a little unhappy.

Originally, he had arranged the matter well, but it was Han Yu's arrogance that caused the matter.

Not only was he caught, but his plan was ruined, and Concubine Dong Guifei was demoted.

To put it bluntly, it is the Dong family that suffers.

He didn't pursue anything, nor did he arrange for people to find ways to save people.

Everything that should be done and can be done has been done, but the person above won't let him go, what can he do?

Now you, Han Jingcong, come to the door early in the morning, looking aggressive and asking questions, what do you mean?

Feeling: If your daughter gets into trouble, it's all the fault of the Dong family?

"When you are the head of the county, you must look like you are visiting when you visit. She, Han Yu, is arrogant and has no regard for superiority and inferiority. She caused trouble. My mother-in-law went to the door to apologize for her."

"Since Brother Han is dissatisfied, how about sending someone to bring back my wife?"

Han Jingcong, who was sitting there, heard the dissatisfaction in his words and a sneer appeared on his face.

"Brother Zixiu, please calm down. I didn't mean it that way. I'm just worried that Ayu said the wrong thing."

"We have known each other for many years as brothers, and you also know that I have a straightforward manner."

Since the news of Han Yu's arrest spread, the Han family and the Gao family have also mobilized people to get Han Yu out.

Then seeing no response from the Dong family, Luo left his daughter-in-law alone and went to visit Lu Yaoyao, the culprit.

He immediately became unhappy.

Speaking of Han Jingcong, he actually has a similar personality to Han Yu. Because he is a direct descendant of the Han family, and there is Gao Yanming, the leftist prime minister in the court, he is usually extremely arrogant, and not many people can catch his eye.

Only the royal family and individual nobles could catch his eye, so he never thought of going to Lu Yaoyao to apologize or anything.

She is just a peasant girl who was abandoned and raised on the farm. Even if she is the county head now, she is still far behind them.
