"Even if the groom had three heads and six arms, he wouldn't be able to hide from the eyes of so many people in Jiang Mansion."
Luo Jiuli nodded.
"There is also the aunt named Die'er that Shitou's mother just mentioned. She was the only one who entered Jiang Fengnian's house the night before Jiang Fengnian's accident, and she was the only one who was favored by Jiang Fengnian the most, leaving Jiang Fengnian with nothing.
Be on guard.”
"Master suspects that it has something to do with her?"
"Whether it is related or not depends on whether there is this aunt among the people who escaped from Jiang Mansion and the thirteen corpses. I am more inclined to think that Aunt Die'er is a spy who was inserted into Jiang Mansion by a certain force."
When Nan Zhu heard this, he looked at Nan Xing.
"My subordinate will tell Mr. Pei about this immediately."
"Well, go ahead."
Luo Jiuli stood up and looked at the bright tree trunks outside the window, his expression gradually darkened.
Jiang Mansion's case has three legal departments, four departments of the Ministry of War, and an imperial edict from the emperor. Sooner or later, the truth will come to light.
But now she suddenly became worried.
Not worried about this case, but worried about Qiao Yue's news coming from Changchun Palace.
The Queen Mother first sent Jiao Yin to the Ninth Prince's Mansion to test the situation, just to see the attitude of Xiao Mingxuan and the emperor. To her surprise, Xiao Mingxuan did not send Jiao Mingxuan back to the palace, so the Queen Mother deliberately planned to bring Lu Mingxin back to the capital.
The purpose was to point out Lu Mingxin to Xiao Mingxuan as his concubine, but she unexpectedly used a trick to cut off Qiulian and Qiaoyue's escape, and also cut off the Queen Mother's unfulfilled plans.
In addition, Xiao Mingxuan's warning to the Queen Mother and Concubine Hu in Changchun Palace also made the Queen Mother calm down for a while.
However, these are just illusions and only temporary.
The Queen Mother has intentions, Lu Mingxin has intentions, and if these two people come together, I'm afraid the trouble will go far beyond that.
"Jiu'er."
At the door, the Duke's wife had been here for a long time. When she saw her daughter standing motionless in front of the window, she didn't even hear her entering the room, so she knew that today's events had upset her.
"Mother."
Luo Jiuli turned his head and hurriedly stepped forward to support his mother, but saw that there was no one serving her.
"Where is Aunt Xu? Where are the maids? Why is it only mother?"
The Duke of Guo said:
"I asked them to guard outside the door. Mother has something to say to you."
Luo Jiuli frowned.
"What about my eldest sister?"
"Your brother-in-law has sent someone to take them back home."
Luo Jiuli was silent and said no more.
"I feel unhappy."
The duchess looked sad, sighed, and patted her hand.
Luo Jiuli felt guilty. From the day she arrived, the Duke's wife seemed to be busy and worried about her.
"It's the daughter's fault for letting her mother worry about it."
"Silly girl, when a mother doesn't take care of her own daughter, how can she take care of other people's daughters?"
Luo Jiuli smiled.
"No matter in the past or now, you can never live in peace."
The Duke's wife darkened her eyes.
"You are not choosing the path of ordinary people. After entering the Royal Gate, you are entering the whirlpool. While enjoying the high position, imperial power and wealth, you have to bear the hardships that others cannot bear."
"Jiu'er, this is just the beginning. If you later-"
"Mother, the Ninth Prince and I have already been engaged, and the date of marriage has even been set. Why would mother have such thoughts?"
Luo Jiuli interrupted her mother, she understood what her mother was going to say.
Regret? She won't regret it.
"In this life, I will be with Prince Dingjiu. Mother must never mention this in front of others again."
The Duke's wife sighed heavily.
"Okay, okay, mother won't say anything anymore."
She came to Fuquyuan and said these words.
First, I knew that my master had beaten King Zhao, and I was really worried that King Zhao would complain to the emperor and the emperor would issue an order to punish him.
The second was the fire in Jiangfu, which killed thirteen people and made her feel like a stone was weighing on her heart.
Today is obviously her daughter's happy day, but such a murder case happened. It seems to be a special situation set up for the Duke's Palace and the Ninth Prince's Palace.
This made her feel very unhappy and resentful.
"Mom, don't think so wildly."
Luo Jiuli also seemed to understand why his mother said these words today even though she had agreed with her and Xiao Mingxuan before.
"The fire in Jiang Mansion has nothing to do with us. Jiang Fengnian was dishonest. He was involved in some cases and offended people. If not today, then it will be tomorrow."
"Why should mother take this matter to heart?"
The Duke's wife frowned.
"But I always feel that this matter is just for you. Why is it not yesterday or tomorrow? Why is it today?"
Luo Jiuli: She wonders if her mother is menopausal, why is she so arrogant?
Even if they were really coming for them, she wouldn't be afraid, let alone it wouldn't matter.
After all, she has made up her mind, no matter who is behind this matter?
Death is certain.
"Mother."
Luo Jiuli took his mother's hand, already having some thoughts in his mind.
"My daughter wants her mother to help with something."
The Duke's wife heard this.
"Between mother and daughter, there is no need to be so open-minded. You can just say it."
Luo Jiuli said:
"My mother worships Buddha all the year round and she is the most sincere. I want my mother to help me copy a scroll of the Rebirth Mantra."
"No matter how the Jiang Mansion incident is decided in the end, joy and happiness come one day at a time. I want those who have passed away to get rid of their karma and achieve bliss as soon as possible."
When the Duke's wife heard this, her expression suddenly became clear and solemn.
"Okay, okay, this busy mother will help sincerely."
"Thank you, mother."
Luo Jiuli curled his lips.
Only by finding something for the mother to do can she ignore the messy things outside.
Because of Luo Jiuli's request, in the following days, the Duke's wife took a bath almost every day, gargled her mouth, burned incense in front of the Buddha with sincerity, and then copied scriptures.
Three days later in the afternoon, it was also the first time Luo Jiuli met Xiao Mingxuan since they separated from their last engagement.
"My lord, why are you here?"
He had been busy for three days without seeing anyone, so Luo Jiuli naturally did not dare to disturb him.
The murder case of Jiang Fengnian, the arson and murder case of Jiang Mansion, the case of thirteen murders, and the case of embezzlement of money and ink were all dismissed.
Not to mention Xiao Mingxuan, even her eldest brother Luo Yuanliang was transferred to Dali Temple to help, and he did not return home for several days and nights.
Xiao Mingxuan stepped forward and took her hand.
"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."
"Ah! Where to go."
Luo Jiuli thought he would tell her about the Jiang Mansion case.
Xiao Mingxuan reached out and took the white fox fur from Chun Rong.
"You'll know when you go there."
"But isn't the prince busy?"
Xiao Mingxuan gave her knotted hand a pause and smiled faintly.
"When people are alive, they always have endless things to do, but I can't open my eyes and close my eyes to government offices and military camps."
