In the past few days, Xin Kangbo Mansion and Zhengyuan Hou Mansion have become the objects of discussion among the people in the capital after dinner.
The Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion was implicated in the assassination of Prince Qi. The door of the mansion was sealed, and entry and exit checks were very strict. Everyone wanted to watch the excitement but couldn't, so they all went to Xin Kangbo Mansion.
There were a lot of people at the front door and the back door. From time to time, someone would point and say anything. Yu Lanyan was naturally a shameless woman in everyone's ears, but Prince Xin Kangbo's character was in everyone's discussion.
, it is also polarizing. If you say it is good, you will praise Prince Xin Kangbo to the sky, but if you are not speaking, it will make Prince Xin Kangbo miserable.
Many people are curious whether Crown Prince Shin Kang Bo really wears this cuckold? Even if Crown Prince Shin Kang Bo really admits it, he will become a joke among his colleagues when he becomes an official in the future, right?
At nightfall, at the back door of Xin Kangbo Mansion, Yu Lanyan looked pale, staggering and holding the hand of a little maid, tears falling in strings, "Brother Han..."
"Leave first, and I will definitely let you come back later." Chu Zihan said.
"Brother Han...I...can I really come back?" Yu Lanyan said weakly.
"Of course I can come back. Don't you understand what I mean? At this time, my mother's meaning is very clear, but I still... can't let you go." Chu Zihan sighed.
Thinking of Mrs. Xin Kangbo, Yu Lanyan shivered and felt her face hurt even more. Those were the two slaps Mrs. Xin Kangbo gave her.
Gritting his teeth hard: "Brother Han, I'll leave first. If you have a chance in the future... you must let me come back."
"Okay, let's go first. The place has been arranged. You go to that nunnery to stay temporarily. After the news passes... someone will come and take you away." Chu Zihan said gently.
Yu Lanyan nodded, wiped her tears, reluctantly said goodbye to Chu Zihan, went out through the back door with a little maid, and got into a small oil-filled carriage at the back door.
After the back door was closed, the tenderness on Chu Zihan's face faded, he turned around and strode back to Xin Kangbo's study.
Both Xin Kangbo and his wife were in the study. When she saw her son coming in, Mrs. Xin Kangbo couldn't help but stood up and asked anxiously: "How are you doing? Is there anything?"
"Don't worry, mother, it's okay." Chu Zihan said.
Mrs. Xin Kangbo held her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, great. This kind of woman left Taiping early and ruined the reputation of our family. I said at the beginning that she would not be allowed to come in, but you just did it?"
If you don’t let me, what are you talking about... It was originally an agreement, is this an agreement? This is to ruin Han’er’s reputation.”
"Okay, okay, let's stop this for now. You can go back first." Xin Kangbo waved his hand impatiently.
Mrs. Xincombo looked at her son's face and saw that he nodded silently, so she could only retreat.
Chu Zihan sat down on the chair on the side and frowned: "Father, is this really feasible?"
"Whether it's feasible or not, it's all about giving face to the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion. The title of the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion will inevitably fall to the second wife. It's better to form a good relationship now than to ask for help when something happens in the future. Besides, this is Concubine Ning.
Your Majesty’s intention.”
"Father, this is just a message from the Ning family, and it may not really be Concubine Ning's original intention." Chu Zihan said disapprovingly.
"Since the Ning family dares to spread such words, it must be Concubine Ning's intention. Besides...this is also your cousin's intention." Xin Kangbo said in a low voice.
"Cousin is so optimistic about...Zhengyuan Hou Mansion?" Chu Zihan asked in confusion.
"There is such a big mistake in this matter, so for the time being, it can only be like this. Now Yu Lanyan is considered 'dead'. We will talk about the future. If she still has a chance to enter our house in the future, even if Concubine Ning is behind her,
Support, but the position of the principal wife cannot be given to her anymore."
Xin Kangbo reached out and pressed his eyebrows. He had never imagined that things would reach this stage.
Chu Zihan nodded silently: "Father, Lanxuan County Lord's matter...will there be any surprises?"
"What kind of surprise can there be in this matter? If you die, you will die. Yu Zhongyang is really useless. He can't even stand a woman who is locked up. There is really no one in the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, so he got a good death.
." Xin Kangbo snorted coldly.
"Father, the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion is now involved in the affairs of Prince Qi, will there be another accident with County Lord Lanxuan?" Chu Zihan was a little uneasy.
"There is no evidence about the Crown Prince of Qi. At most, the assassin escaped from the Marquis Zhengyuan's Mansion. It is impossible to really pin down the Prince of Zhengyuan's Mansion, but..." Xin Kangbo paused here. The Crown Prince of Qi
His temper was really overbearing. Without any evidence, he just said a word and put the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion under supervision, and even suspended Yu Zhongyang.
"Father, he is just a proton. Why is the emperor so accommodating?" Chu Zihan asked.
"This matter... is of great importance and is not something we can discuss. At least now I feel that nothing will happen to the Zhengyuan Hou Mansion." Xin Kangbo reached out and rubbed his brow again, feeling a little annoyed. He waved his hand and said, "There is no need to discuss this matter again.
Duoti, what you have to deal with now is Yu Lanyan's matter, have you made arrangements for tomorrow?"
"Don't worry, father, the arrangements have already been made." There was a hint of coldness on Chu Zihan's face. If Yu Lanyan doesn't die, someone must die on his behalf. The personal maid who came with Yu Lanyan can be used. This girl knows too much...
Yu Lanyan's carriage left Xinkangbo Mansion, got into the alley opposite, and then exited the alley. It was going to a courtyard of Xinkangbo Mansion. The city gate was closed tonight, and it was impossible to leave the city again. Wait until
Tomorrow Yu Lanyan will leave from the small courtyard.
In the carriage, Yu Lanyan was still crying. The little girl next to her was young and looked confused and scared. She was the maid of Xin Kangbo Mansion.
The carriage arrived quickly. In fact, it was not far from Xin Kangbo Mansion. Yu Lanyan helped the little maid get out of the carriage, "Aunt... girl..."
The little maid stuttered.
Yu Lanyan reached out and slapped her hard, causing the little girl to kneel to the ground.
"Will you call me master?" Yu Lanyan cursed fiercely, raised her leg and kicked her again. She had been careful everywhere in Xinkangbo Mansion these days, and now she finally no longer had to worry about others.
"Master...Master." The little maid shed tears of pain and said tremblingly.
"Don't help me in yet." Yu Lanyan said sternly.
The little maid hurriedly got up, ignoring the pain in her legs, and carefully helped Yu Lanyan into the house.
As soon as he opened the door of the main room, he knew that no one had cleaned it for a while, and there was already some dust on the table. Yu Lanyan felt angry and angry.
He picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it on the ground. The little girl was so frightened that she shrank her neck and stepped back. Even so, a few pieces of the teacup slipped and tore her dress.
"If you don't have long eyes, why don't you take care of these things?" Yu Lanyan shouted loudly.
The little girl stepped forward timidly, and Yu Lanyan glared at her fiercely. When she walked in front of her, she raised her hand and slapped her: "You bitch, is your hand broken?"
The little maid staggered back a few steps after being beaten, fell to the ground, and hit a piece of debris. She screamed in pain and reached out to cover her calf. Blood instantly overflowed from her fingers.
Seeing the little maid like this, Yu Lanyan felt that the anger in her heart was relieved a little. She sneered and cursed sinisterly: "Why don't you go clean it up? If I find that you are not working properly, I will buy you when I go outside the city tomorrow."
To the filthiest places."
In the past, when she was at Zhengyuan Hou Mansion, many of the maids she punished were sent to places like this.
The little maid was so frightened that she couldn't hold back her cry. She bit her lower lip tightly and didn't dare to make a sound. She could only hold back her whole body and twitch.
Yu Lanyan snorted coldly, turned around and went in. After just a few steps, she suddenly felt a heavy blow on her back, her vision went dark, and she fell forward...
The man in black stretched out his hand to support Yu Lanyan and listened to the movement outside. He heard the suppressed crying of the little maid outside and the sound of moving footsteps.
He reached out and took out a black cover from the screen, put Yu Lanyan in it, and laid the black cloth cover covering Yu Lanyan on the ground. The man in black walked to the door of the inner room again, and heard the little maid in the room holding back her words.
Painful, he stood up and cleaned the house. The man in black gently lifted the curtain and looked outside.
The little girl was limping with her back to the inner door, holding a broom.
The man in black rushed out from the inner room, took two quick steps forward, and struck the little maid on the back of her neck with a knife. The little maid rolled her eyes and softened. The man in black hurriedly caught her and took her with her.
Go inside, take out another black cloth bag hanging on the screen, and put it in the same bag.
Laying the little maid on the ground, the man in black entered the front room again. There was no one in the front room, and there was no one in the yard. The previous carriage had already left, and there were only two people in the whole yard, the little maid and Yu Lanyan.
After checking around and finding nothing unusual, the man in black entered the back room and left through the open door with two black cloth bags between them. When he opened the door, there was already a carriage parked outside the door.
It's somewhat similar to the one just now.
Seeing the man in black coming out, the coachman hurriedly jumped out of the carriage and helped the man in black carry the two black cloth bags to the carriage. The man in black also jumped on the carriage. The carriage passed all the way and went around several times.
, walked through several streets, and then stopped at the back door of a courtyard.
The coachman jumped down from the shaft of the carriage and stood aside. Another person jumped out of the carriage. It looked like he was also dressed as a coachman. He was the man in black from before.
"Is...is everything okay?" the coachman from before asked in a low voice.
The coachman behind shook his head, jumped on the carriage's shaft, and then drove away with the carriage, leaving the previous coachman standing at the back door.
The back door opened with a creak, and the figure of a woman holding a lantern asked in a low voice to the coachman outside: "Sir, are you back?"
The coachman turned around and saw a handsome face under the light. He looked around cautiously and saw nothing unusual, and then led the mother-in-law in.
"Mother Yuan, please listen at the door for a while, and report immediately if there is any movement." The coachman lowered his voice and said cautiously. His current status is that of an imperial prisoner, and he cannot tolerate the slightest mistake.
"Don't worry, sir, I understand." Nanny Yuan nodded in a low voice and handed the lantern in her hand to the coachman, who took it and walked to the main house.
Behind her, Grandma Yuan stood in the shadows, leaning against the back door and listening to the movements outside...
