An ordinary carriage stopped at Wangjing Gate. The bamboo curtain was opened, and only one side of the woman inside was exposed. The carriage was pulled directly into the Chu Palace without being searched. After the carriage drove in the palace for a while, a scholar and a commoner were seen. Young man in robe is waiting on horseback.
As soon as the car stopped, Luo Yaoniang jumped out from behind, raised her head and looked coldly at Zhang Ning on the horse: "I was about to see you, but you thought about it? Send someone to pick me up, what do you think?"
Zhang Ning said: "You may have misunderstood."
"What's the misunderstanding?" Luo Yaoniang looked unkindly and looked around. There was only Chunmei on the carriage, and Zhang Ning was riding here alone. She lowered her voice and said, "I have misunderstood your good deeds, or I have misunderstood that it was not you who gave the order. Caught Miss Xiao?"
Zhang Ning had already figured it out. Although he felt a little embarrassed, he was still very calm. He said: "It's a good thing to misunderstand, it's not what you think."
"Huh." Luo Yaoniang's expression seemed to say that you were lying to a three-year-old child, "Then why did you arrest Xiao Qing? Why didn't you just kill me to silence me! It's quite satisfying, I'm just too busy."
Zhang Ning smiled shamelessly: "How could I be willing to kill you? You really shouldn't have such thoughts, alas... As for Xiao Qing, I did catch her, but it had nothing to do with 'good things'. She was a spy sent by the puppet dynasty. , came to kill me. I only came to you for this matter, now I am in trouble."
"There's no need to blame someone if you want to," Luo Yaoniang said in surprise.
Zhang Ning said: "Why should I blame her? The mother-in-law quite likes her." After saying that, he took out a piece of paper from somewhere, jumped off the horse and handed it to her, "Look, she wrote it. I But I didn’t torture her to extract a confession, and I didn’t even touch her when I let you see her later. If you don’t believe it, we still have a good show.”
Luo Yaoniang took it in her hand and read it over. She glanced at Zhang Ning from time to time and said in a much weaker tone: "Didn't you force her to write it?"
"Miss Luo looks down on herself so much, but she should always look up to Yang Ge Lao. I have worked hard and sincerely to invite Mr. Yang Ge Lao to Wuchang. I can easily arrest his people to extract confessions and disgrace him." ?" Zhang Ning said calmly.
Luo Yaoniang asked hurriedly: "What's the relationship with my father?"
"I cannot easily touch the guests who live in the Yang Mansion." Zhang Ning said, "Let's go, I will take you to see Miss Xiao first."
Luo Yaoniang recalled that the Chu Palace was very spacious, and Zhang Ning was riding a horse, so she got on the carriage again. Her expression became more and more solemn. If what Zhang Ning said was true, this matter was indeed serious; then Yao Guifei was just one The son is quite promising, not like a treasure. Someone is plotting to harm Zhang Ning. Even if Zhang Ning can trust him, can Yao Ji trust that she is not an accomplice? Will Yang Shiqi be implicated by then? Most of this kind of palace conspiracy will happen. It must be very involved... I witnessed with my own eyes in the capital that Yongle's imperial food was poisoned, and thousands of people died.
When they arrived at a small low courtyard, they saw Xiao Qing in a house. Her eyes were red, but she was not injured. Xiao Qing only glanced at Luo Yaoniang and quickly lowered her head. Luo Yaoniang saw this. He immediately couldn't help but ask: "Are you a spy of the factory guard? I treat you like a sister in vain, but you actually hurt me like this!"
"Miss Luo... I was forced... If I don't do this for Jin Yiwei, they will kill my father." Xiao Qing said with tears in her eyes.
When Luo Yaoniang heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched and she was speechless.
Zhang Ning said: "Miss Xiao, Miss Luo has been implicated by you. You have to tell the strongholds of your comrades to make meritorious services, otherwise how can you be worthy of your good sisters?" Xiao Qing cried: "If I betray them, Lu Qianshi will definitely be angry.
, he will cut my father into pieces in a blink of an eye and vent his anger..."
"You have fallen into the hands of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is there any other way to go?!" Luo Yaoniang was furious and scolded, "Either you confess honestly, or you die if you are caught!"
At this time, a gloomy voice said: "Does Miss Luo want to silence her? It's too late. It's not easy for her to die now. Life is worse than death."
Luo Yaoniang said: "I don't know anything about her, so what does it have to do with me? Ask her!"
The cold voice said again: "After being tortured, she will definitely say that she has a relationship with you."
"You, you..." Luo Yaoniang's face turned pale.
At this time, Xiao Qing whispered: "There is a contact person staying at the inn on the west side of Chayuan Street... Go upstairs to the second room."
Zhang Ning glanced sideways, Dongxue bowed with his fists in his hands, and immediately turned around and left. He said nothing and turned to leave. At this time Chunmei asked: "What should I do with the person named Xiao?" Zhang Ning said: "Don't make it difficult for her, let her go.
"I will do what I say." Seeing Xiao Qing's helpless look, he added: "You did such a thing. Staying in the Chu Palace is not a good place. You can live in the Yang Mansion first. Don't go back. There is no use going back."
of."
"Will you save my father?" Xiao Qing asked.
Zhang Ning refused to answer, thinking to himself, this bitch wants to kill me, why should I save your father? Is it just a matter of trying to get someone out of prison? Let’s wait until one day we can really capture the capital. Maybe then I will be in a different mood.
Well, it happened that the old man was not dead yet, so I asked Luo Yaoniang to come over and remind him, and maybe he would be let go...if Luo Yaoniang was willing to speak for her again.
Luo Yaoniang chased her out, "You want to acquit her?"
Zhang Ning said without looking back: "She will do anything in less than a day. For such a little girl, even if I am angry, I will not be angry with her."
"We really don't know anything about it. We just took her in because we felt pity for her. Do you believe me?"
Zhang Ning turned around and sighed: "Why bother to explain? I can't even trust you in this world. How many people can trust you?"
Luo Yaoniang's face turned slightly red, and then she cursed: "I never thought you were such a person, and she!"
Zhang Ning did not defend himself, but clasped his hands together and lowered his head as if thinking about something. After a while, he called Chunmei over, leaned close and whispered quietly: "You can find an excuse to go see Mrs. Yu... You can say that before
The palace sent someone to reciprocate the gift. Seeing that she was not looking well, I got the imperial concubine's wish and sent her some supplements. I told her what happened today and reassured her."
When people whisper something, they often think that others cannot hear it. But as long as you listen carefully, it is still easy to hear. Luo Yaoniang heard the general meaning. She couldn't help but think in her heart, she thought that Ping An had changed, but she didn't expect what he was thinking.
It's still quite fine... But what do those two people look like? Are they worthy of Ting Yi?
…
It was really bad when Mrs. Dong returned to her house. She felt that the sky was falling, but when she entered the door, she had to pretend as if nothing had happened, suppressing her emotions even more. The discomfort in her heart was almost unbearable, and she felt like she couldn't breathe. Reply
She immediately locked herself in the room and refused to let anyone in. When the maid asked, she could only hold back her voice and said that she felt uncomfortable and wanted to sleep for a while.
Yu Tingyi has seen big storms, but Dong has basically never, except when she learned that he was caught by Zhang Ning. Her endurance is limited.
What will happen if the husband finds out about this matter? He will divorce himself without any hesitation, but as the wife of the Ming Dynasty, he must give an explanation to the Dong family and there will be a divorce letter; by the way, he can go back without the divorce letter.
Because my natal family is in Hangzhou, a place in the Northern Dynasties... Can this solve the problem? Where should I go? It is not possible to go to the Chu Palace. What should I tell the people in the palace and what should I say to Concubine Yao... In fact, it goes without saying, everyone will know it.
.
Yu Mian will also be unable to hold his head high and be a good person, which will implicate him. People will poke their spines and say that his own mother is stealing from others. What an unpleasant word.
When a husband writes a letter of divorce, he will scold himself so hard that he can't hold his head up and be ashamed. Instead of doing this... Mrs. Dong got up from the bed and went to look for something in the box. When she found a whole piece of silk, she just had to tear off the knot and it would be over.
.She didn’t have the strength to tear it apart, so she continued to look for scissors.
Siling was gradually soaked with tears. Thinking about how hard she had never suffered in her life, she felt unspeakably unwilling. She felt like the threshold at the door. Every room has a threshold, but there is no such thing.
People would pay attention to it, just like a dispensable ornament. It was tasteless day after day, and she really couldn't think of any need for her existence other than to carry on the family line.
The more I think about it, the sadder I feel. If I don’t hold it in with all my strength, I will burst into tears. People often say that she has taken advantage of women, which makes people jealous, damn you! I am still so young, I can only die, I think
How cautiously had I lived for so many years, for fear of doing something that would not suit my husband's wishes? Why did I do everything possible to survive like this?
After tying the silk ribbon, Mrs. Dong brought a round stool to cushion it, and then tried to throw the silk ribbon from the beam. After several attempts, she had no success, so she had to think of another way to tie a bracelet on her head.
success.
But after such a toss and distraction, the extremely depressed and despairing mood just now faded a little. Another thought came to her mind, it would be better to die than to live. There are many people in the world who do not have enough to eat or clothes to wear. As soon as she was born,
Living a life without worries about food and clothing is actually quite good, and those poor people can live... She also thought about what would happen if people died. She had almost never thought about it before. Who at such a young age could care about death? There will be an underworld, right?
I am afraid that people like me will be tortured in the underworld, and will not be able to live in peace even after death. But I am not sure, after all, no one has really been to the underworld.
Ms. Dong was a little scared after thinking about it, and she almost lost the courage to hang herself. It was better to think about how to survive...
She walked around the room for a few steps, and just then, there was a knock on the door. She then said, "I was about to take a break, what's the noise about?"
The maid's voice said: "I don't dare not to report the people coming from the palace. She said that she saw the lady looking bad earlier. When the concubine heard about it, she brought some ginseng and deer antlers and sent them over. Shouldn't we meet with the lady?"
Another voice said: "It's me, Chunmei. Does Mrs. Yu still remember me? We have met before."
When Mrs. Dong heard this, she hurriedly wiped the tears on her face and said, "I'm sorry, please wait a moment, distinguished guest. I was just about to take a nap and my clothes are disheveled. Wait until I'm dressed to welcome you."
