Lu Lingqi sneaked towards the back door, but within a few steps she saw Mr. Yan appearing.
Yan smiled and said: "Ling'er, where are you going?"
Lu Lingqi touched her head and said, "The weather is nice today. My daughter wants to go to the backyard wall to see the scenery."
Yan sneered: "That's weird, you want to sneak out!"
Seeing that her intentions were exposed, Lu Lingqi said angrily: "Master has moved out and doesn't come to teach me martial arts!"
"I heard that he lives in a house not far away. I want to go and see it."
After hearing this, Mrs. Yan pulled Lu Lingqi back and said, "Don't even think about it!"
"There is no peace in the city now. Even Mrs. Du disappeared without any explanation. Maybe there are spies in this house!"
"Everyone is fine on the surface, but in fact they don't know what to do. This time they are attacking Mrs. Du. What if it is bad for us next time?"
"You are the only descendant of the Lu family. If something happens, how can I explain it to your father?"
Lu Lingqi secretly smiled in her heart. She was the one who planned Mrs. Du's escape. Lu Lingqi still feels extremely proud when she thinks about it.
Everyone, including Lu Bu, suspected that there was a traitor in the palace, but they didn't know that the traitor was Lu Lingqi herself.
Lu Lingqi suddenly remembered that the hateful Yang Chou looked so disgusting and coveted Mrs. Du. She was really worried!
Thinking of this, she said to Yan: "I heard that Yang Chou has been coveting Mrs. Du. Could it be that he couldn't help but kidnap Mrs. Du?"
"Let my father catch him and torture him, and he will definitely confess immediately!"
Yan said helplessly: "You kid, I don't know what you are thinking. Isn't it because Mrs. Du is unwilling to marry him that you also hate him?"
"It turns out that he is a general under Zhang Yang. I asked Mrs. Du to marry him because it was for your father's sake. If you can be on good terms with Zhang Yang, why not do it?"
"Who knows how a good thing could end up like this, making it difficult for both sides to step down."
"How come Mrs. Du is missing?"
Lu Lingqi said with a bad smile: "Who knows what happened? Maybe Mrs. Du was forced by her mother to remarry and ran away on her own?"
Yan said helplessly: "Why are you turning your elbows outward? Why am I so guarded against Du?"
"You see she is so beautiful. If your father takes her in, he will definitely love her very much. If a boy is born then, what will happen to the Lu family's property in the future?"
"There is no problem with taking a concubine. What I am afraid of is that if the concubine is favored over the head wife, and if the children are involved, my status as the head wife will also be threatened!"
"Ling'er, you should also be careful about this when you marry in the future. You must be more careful about concubines who are both pampered and charming!"
Lu Lingqi couldn't help but nodded, and then said doubtfully: "Mom, that's not right. We have no male members in the Lu family. If no one inherits the Lu family, it will be my father who will suffer, right?"
"Besides, I'm about to get married. How can my father threaten me by taking a concubine?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Yan was so angry that she stretched out her finger and tapped Lu Lingqi's forehead several times, which made Lu Lingqi's head shake back and forth, like a roly-poly.
She said bitterly: "You are usually stupid, but now you are smart again!"
"You are smart, but you still can't understand the simplest things!"
"Don't I want to give birth to a baby myself?"
Lu Lingqi held her head and was dumbfounded. Grandma is really getting stronger and stronger!
No, that’s not what you said. How should you say it?
Her poor head started to smoke, but she finally gave up. Mrs. Du must have arrived in Youzhou, right?
I don’t know how she is doing now. Maybe she has already set off to go back to her parents’ home in Bingzhou. I will never see her again, right?
At this time, Mrs. Du had indeed entered Youzhou and had already arrived at Beixin City.
She opened the curtain and saw that the city gate of Beixin City was wide open, with a bustling flow of people going in and out. It was extremely prosperous, which was very different from the atmosphere in Huaicheng.
Although Zhang Yang is developing people's livelihood in Hanoi and focusing on farming, Hanoi has suffered many natural disasters and locust disasters in recent years. Although it can still sustain itself, it cannot help but feel a bit depressed.
But when Mrs. Du saw the people coming and going in Beixin City, most of them were smiling, which she couldn't fake.
She was a little stunned. This place was located at the junction of Youzhou and Bingzhou. It was very similar to her original hometown in Bingzhou, but it seemed to be very different from the way it looked when he left a few years ago?
It had been several years since she got married and left her hometown. At that time, the fields were full of hunger and war, and it could be said that the people were in dire straits.
At that time, although her family was once a middle-class family, it had experienced several natural disasters and had no food left. The whole family was on the verge of starvation, so she married Qin Yilu, a passing general of Bingzhou.
It is said that she is getting married, but it is just that the other party has taken a fancy to her and used half force and half coercion to get her parents to agree.
At that time, Mrs. Du didn't want to burden her parents anymore. After Qin Yilu threw a few bags of corn to her parents, she was taken on horseback and headed south to Chang'an.
After that, she had food to eat. In a year or two, she had grown from a sallow and skinny girl to a gorgeous young woman. After attending several banquets in Chang'an, she was secretly coveted by many people. Even Qin Yilu did not expect it.
.
However, precisely because she was so outstanding in appearance, many people suspected that she was Lu Bu's forbidden concubine, leading to her being a traitor but not courageous.
The Yan family was also wary of her, so Lu Bu never succeeded and had to find other generals, wives, and others to vent his anger.
But in Qin Yilu's opinion, he could not escape the fifteenth day of the first year of junior high school, so he went to join Yuan Shu, married another person, and simply left Du family alone.
After going through a difficult period of time, Mrs. Du finally found a chance to escape, but she always complained when she thought about her own experience.
I just want to find someone I can rely on and live my life with peace of mind. Why is it so difficult?
She looked at the carriage in front of her. Chen Gui, who had led her to escape, should be inside.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Du felt uneasy. She heard that Chen Gui was the head of a wealthy family in Xuzhou, and he was obviously highly trusted when he came to negotiate with Lu Bu on behalf of the fierce tiger.
What would I do if he left me behind?
Now she can only hope that the person Lu Lingqi entrusted has some friendship with Chen Gui. For that person's sake, can Chen Gui allow her to return to her hometown?
While Mrs. Du was thinking wildly, Chen Gui also had a headache.
What was the purpose of the undercover agent sent out by the Young Master to ask him to bring back a woman?
Mrs. Du is not an ordinary beauty. The spy did not hesitate to take the risk of exposing her identity and took her to Youzhou. It is very likely that this woman has something important to do with her!
In other words, this woman is the young master’s woman?
Chen Gui also wanted to ask Mrs. Du about it, but gave up the idea. What if he asked about something he shouldn't hear?
If she is really the girl that the young master likes, wouldn't she be asking for trouble if she gets involved in the young master's family affairs?
The secret letter said that this woman was related to Yinhu. Chen Gui didn't know much about Yinhu. He had only heard the young master talk about Yinhu a few times, so he tried to guess the cause and effect of the whole thing.
This Mrs. Du must have an old relationship with Yinhu, and Yinhu is familiar with the young master, so the spy sent by the young master asked him to help rescue Mrs. Du, just to befriend Yinhu, right?
Chen Gui felt that he had guessed the truth of the matter, so he rushed back to Beixin City, preparing to throw Mrs. Du out of the house as soon as possible.
Soldiers came out of Beixin City and welcomed everyone in. After meeting Xu You, Chen Gui learned that almost all the generals under Yuan Xi's command had left in full force!
Chen Gui asked: "I have something to report to the young master, what should I do?"
Xu You had a complicated mood, "If Mr. Han Yu wants to see the young master, he will have to leave the city and enter the North Pass of Heishan Mountain, two to three hundred miles south, where the young master should confront the Black Mountain Army."
"But before leaving, the young master said that if Mr. Han Yu comes back, he can first be responsible for supervising the military supplies and supplies in Beixin City."
After hearing this, Chen Gui could only say: "I will obey the order of the young master."
He understood that Yuan Xi was worried about Xu You, so he placed himself here. However, in Chen Gui's view, this move was more like a warning than a restriction.
Because if Xu You was not a fool, he would not cause any trouble. After all, he wanted to cause trouble now, so who could he turn to?
Youzhou Gongsun Zan has been destroyed, and only the Southern Xiongnu and the Black Mountain Army are left around. Is it possible that Xu You can still join them?
Thinking of this, Chen Gui felt a little relieved. After saying goodbye to Xu You, he took Mrs. Du's carriage all the way to Yuan Xi's mansion.
He guessed that Yuan Xi would definitely leave a confidant to handle the internal affairs, but when the other party came out, Chen Gui couldn't help but be a little stunned. Isn't this Yuan Xi's concubine Cao Xian!
Cao Xian smiled and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Han Yu. Before the young master left, he handed over the affairs of the house to me. May I ask for your advice?"
Chen Gui then told the story about Madam Du, and finally said: "The matter involves Hidden Tiger, but I am not familiar with it, and I would like to ask Madam how to deal with it."
Cao Xian rolled his eyes. She and Cai Zhaoji were among the few who knew the identity of Yuan Xi.
Is this because the young master seduced a girl from outside and didn't dare to send her back to Jicheng, so he hid her in a golden house in Beixin City?
She thought she had guessed the truth. To verify it, she ran to the carriage, opened the curtain and took a look, which shocked Mrs. Du inside.
When Cao Xian saw Mrs. Du's face, he was immediately sure that he didn't run away. The young master must have fallen in love with her!
She put down the car curtain and said carelessly to Chen Gui: "I roughly understand the matter. I will arrange for my wife to live in the house first, and then I will make a decision when the young master comes back."
Chen Gui thought that this was indeed the case, and immediately said: "The matter is over, I will take my leave."
Mrs. Du heard the conversation between the two parties in the car and wondered if she had been cheated?
Doesn't this make it obvious that you don't want to let yourself go?
Seeing the carriage being pulled into the mansion, Mrs. Du was quite speechless. Wouldn't this mean she was escaping from the tiger's den and entering the wolf's den again?
Her body suddenly trembled. Who could Chen Gui call a prince?
