Chapter 117: Seeking at Night
When he returned to the general's mansion, the gate was already closed. Zhen Shiniang was about to instruct Qiu Ju to go down and call the door, but Hongliao lifted up the curtain of the car and jumped down.
Seeing her go down, Qiuju sat back.
Hong Liao did not come forward to knock on the door, but instead saluted the four guards who escorted them back, "...... The general's mansion has arrived, and the wife asked me to thank all the soldiers for escorting them all the way."
This girl is really lawless.
Zhen Shiniang frowned when she heard this.
Seeing that the guards were gone, Hong Liao came forward and called the door.
The doorkeeper poked his head out with a sleepy eyes, "...You have found the wrong door, where did the wife come from the general's mansion?" After that, he shrank and went back.
Hong Liao sneered and turned his head to look at Zhen Shiniang.
"I'll knock and see!" Qiu Ju stood up, but was grabbed by Zhen Shiniang, "Forget it, the old lady is afraid that I won't leave in the general's mansion and will chase people in advance."
Hong Liao first took Rongsheng away, and then took Chen Zhongqing's guards before coming forward to call the door. Until now, if she didn't understand Hong Liao's intentions, she would have lived in vain.
"But our things are all in the mansion." Qiu Ju was a little unwilling to accept it, "Brother Chi and Brother Guo didn't come with him either." Chen Zhongqing had already invited Chi Jizhong and Guo Xiu back to the general's mansion to arrange a top-notch guest room, because Knowing that they were the big eunuch guards, they were taken to the palace to be suspected of being recognized by others, so they stayed in the general's mansion during the day.
Thinking of them, Zhen Shiniang frowned, "Then you can try knocking again." As she said, Zhen Shiniang had already helped Qiu Ju get off the carriage.
"... I kept knocking on the door and asked me to send the things and the guards out." Chu Xinyi had not yet stopped. She was chatting with Chunhong Chunlan while embroidering her flowers. After listening to the little maid's report, she frowned, "I'm a husband." What do people say?”
"... The old lady has already rested and will not disturb you. Laishun from the second door asked you to tell me whether to give away the wife's things." Thinking of Shun's begging, the little maid secretly looked at him. Chu Xinyi's expression.
"Just say I'll take a break, too." Chu Xinyi thought for a while.
The little maid stepped back in response, and Chunhong felt a little reluctant. "Please let the aunt take her wife's things out. It's midnight, the lady is a woman..."
"How can I interfere casually by the old lady?" Chu Xinyi yawned, "The general is not back, please clean up and go to bed."
Send her the ward?
It's a joke. It's best if she was kidnapped and sold to a brothel. This is the old lady's idea. Chen Zhongqing can't rely on her no matter how angry she is!
Qiuju knocked on the door for most of the day, but no one spoke inside.
Hong Liao stood aside and smiled coldly.
Seeing Qiuju crying, Zhen Shiniang stepped forward and pulled her, "Forget it. Let's go."
"This is so dark, where are we going?" Qiuju held back her tears and prevented her from falling in front of Hong Liao.
"You go and hire a carriage. We..." Zhen Shiniang saw Hong Liao open her ears and listened. Her voice paused, "Go back to Wutong Town." She quietly pinched Qiuju's little hand.
Qiu Ju let out a cry, raised her foot and went to hire a car.
Fortunately, it was the Lantern Festival, and the lantern viewers had not completely dispersed. Qiu Ju soon hired a carriage to come back and helped Zhen Shiniang get on the carriage. The master and servant left the general's mansion alone.
Looking at Zhen Shiniang's carriage disappeared, the gate of the general's mansion opened from the inside with a creaking sound. The guard of the door stuck his head out and greeted Hongliao in.
"...what, I was driven out of the general's mansion?" Old Lady Xiao asked in shock while stretching out her arms to let the maid wear clothes.
"... Qiuju knocked on the door for a long time and asked for the things she brought from Wutong Town and the wardrobe guards. The mansion didn't give them the same. The master and servant looked pale in their faces." Xichun said while putting shoes on the old lady.
Because Xiao Yu had already known her identity and was dressed like this in the middle of the night, no one would be surprised. Zhen Shiniang simply told Xichun, who came to receive her, that she was Chen Zhongqing's wife.
Originally, he heard the servants at the second gate spread a message, "Doctor Jian" came, thinking that it was midnight, so it was difficult to wake up the old lady, and was afraid that Dr. Jian would be neglected, Xichun put on her clothes and came out to entertain Zhen Shiniang in person, and met Zhen Shi. The mother and servant were shocked by their gorgeous dress. When they heard that she was Chen Zhongqing's legitimate wife, Xichun was so shocked that she couldn't speak. She didn't dare to take the initiative. She ignored Zhen Shiniang's repeated stops and kept overnight. Wake up Mrs. Xiao.
"Hurry, please come in!" The old lady put on her clothes and ordered Xihua, "Instruct the kitchen to cook a bowl of hot noodles..." She cried out, "Even if she doesn't like it anymore, it's still midnight, a woman's house..." The teeth were chewing, "This Erjian Head is still not very popular. Go and ask the Zhongtang to call him, and I will knock him with a crutch!"
Chen Zhongqing has been stubborn since he was a child. He was so angry that he could not even get back even if he was called the second stubborn.
Chen Zhongqing lived in Xiao Mansion when he came to Beijing for the exam. He was taken care of by Mrs. Xiao, who was always treated as his own son. He didn't like him and scolded him when he picked him up. Only then did he become a general and restrain himself. Tonight, Mrs. Xiao was really angry.
At this moment, if the Chen Zhongqing was here, her crutch could really hit him.
Knowing that the old lady was angry, Xichun dared not really pass the message. She turned around and threw a towel to help the old lady wipe her face.
After shutting away the little maid in the room, Xichun quietly brought Zhen Shiniang's master and servant in.
"Old lady..." As soon as he saw the old lady, before Zhen Shiniang could speak, Qiu Ju knelt down with a plop, tied up and kowtowed three times, and frightened the old lady, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to pull it. "This girl, the ground is cold, get up quickly, get up quickly..."
As soon as he held the old lady's hand, Qiu Ju cried out with a whistle, "Thank you, the old lady for taking in my lady." Zhen Shiniang had already asked her to change her words, but Qiu Ju would call her a lady when she was anxious.
This Qiuju has found her biological mother.
Seeing Qiuju looking like a child with breastfeeding, Zhen Shiniang opened her mouth to laugh, but she felt a sour feeling in her heart, and she couldn't laugh. Seeing Xichun turn around and wipe her tears, even Mrs. Xiao They all burst into tears and felt that Qiu Ju was a little rude.
But I also know that after suffering such a great grievance, I was afraid that I would be sad all the way to Xiao Mansion. With Qiuju's temperament, I could only cry until now. It was not easy, so I just waited and let her lie on my husband. The man cried happily on his knees before patting her, "Get up quickly." He looked at the old lady again, "Qiuju is ignorant, so she makes her aunt laugh."
After his emotions were vented, Qiuju also found that she was rude and hurriedly put away her tears. She stood up embarrassedly and accused the old lady of blessings.
The old lady held her hand, "...What a big child, after suffering such a big grievance, you won't let her cry. I like this, and I'm afraid of those hesitant and hypocritical behaviors." Looking at Zhen Shiniang , "You are not allowed to blame her." He turned around and told Xichun, "Take it down and wash it, find a clean clothes to change."
Qiu Ju was taken down by Xichun, and Zhen Shiniang then stepped forward to greet Mrs. Xiao, "I came to the door late at night to disturb my aunt."
Seeing Zhen Shiniang's outfit, Mrs. Xiao believed that she was indeed the legitimate wife who was abandoned by Chen Zhongqing in Wutong Town. She was shocked, "...Isn't she said she is a powerful person? Why is she so quiet?" Her face was pale and her smile was not as gentle as before. It made people feel like they were trying to force themselves. She couldn't help but feel distressed. She turned around and ordered Xiyue, "Go, let the butler take my sign to find the middle hall back, let me let the He told General Chen that he brought the eight-carriage sedan chairs to pick him up. I didn't believe it, and he did not commit any heinous crimes. The Ming media married his wife who was carrying eight-carriage sedan chairs into the door. She felt so deeply that she was driven out in the middle of the night!”
Xiao Yu had sent a message back before, and he was going to stay in the palace tonight. But the old lady and others didn't know that just two hours ago, a coup had just happened in the palace. She couldn't find Xiao Yu any brand she had now. And Shen Zhongqing.
Seeing Xihua really go out, Zhen Shiniang grabbed her and looked back at the old lady, "Auntie, I have told the people from the General's Mansion that I will go back to Wutong Town overnight..."
It's not my parents' home. It's true that she came to the Zhongtang Mansion in the middle of the night, but it's not nice to say. After all, Xiao Yu is a widower. If she can't make trouble, her tricky mother-in-law will put a hat that is unfaithful on her head. More importantly, everyone in the Zhongtang Mansion knew that she was Doctor Jian. It was really that Chen Zhongqing came to pick him up with such a big fanfare. In less than a long time, the whole world knew that the General's wife was Doctor Jian from the folk.
The maids around the old lady can be sealed with one or two, but hundreds of people in the Zhongtang Mansion cannot be sealed with all of them at once.
After hearing Zhen Shiniang's explanation, the old lady felt right and felt uneasy, "It's better not to tell him. Just stay here, so that he can't find it. Try to be anxious!"
Make Chen Zhongqing anxious?
Even if she has been missing for ten years, Chen Zhongqing will not be in a hurry!
Zhen Shiniang was funny, but she didn't want to tell the old lady that these were useless. She looked at the old lady sincerely, "I know my aunt has a lot to ask me, but it's too late today, so I beg my aunt to find me a room first. I will rest in the room for a night, and my aunt will ask you tomorrow if you have anything to do."
Logically speaking, she had just come out of the palace, and nothing else could be said. She should at least tell Mrs. Xiao about the bad news about Cao Xiangye, but she really had no energy.
The whole day was very nervous. At this time, Zhen Shiniang felt like she was pressing down on a mountain and her head was filled with lead. She was drowsy. It wasn't that there was no place to spend the night, she had to ask for help. She really I want to lie in some place and pretend to be dead.
The bad news about Cao Cao will not be announced tomorrow morning, and it is not too rude to say it when she wakes up tomorrow morning.
Dr. Jian suddenly became the general's wife. The old lady did have many questions in her chest and didn't ask for help. After hearing Zhen Shiniang say this, a hint of unhappiness flashed in her heart. When she looked up, she saw that her face was as pale as if she had drained her blood. Her straight body was like a catkin in the wind, shaking, and she said to herself, "She really can't stand it anymore."
