Yesterday's incident made Su Mansion unquiet all night, and everyone was surprised by the things that the second lady did, but they didn't dare to talk about it blatantly, and they all quietly expressed their embarrassment and disbelief in private.

There are old women in Su Mansion who are going out every day, and if they don't come back, they can bring the latest rumors about the second miss of the Su family in the capital to the other maids and daughters in the house.

But one night, this rumor in the capital has been noisy, Su Miao got up close to noon, heard the lotus heart on the side chirping to her about the gossip she heard, dyed with smiling eyes casually looked at the breakfast, occasionally lightly echoed a sentence or two, and when the lotus heart was almost finished, her late breakfast was almost over.

wiped his mouth carefully, and then said to Lianxin and Zirao: "Just talk about it in my room, don't talk nonsense when you go out." ”

Although the old lady was a broken jar, she knew that she would definitely not be able to hide the speed of the spread of this matter, coupled with her dead heart and anger towards Su Man, she didn't consider the face of the other daughters of the Su family for a while, and let this matter spread for a while, and did not send anyone to suppress it.

Lianxin and Zirao both nodded yes, Miss is right, if you talk outside, it is difficult to guarantee that you will meet the old lady, and talking about this bad thing in front of the old lady will definitely have a meal and the fate of being sold.

Seeing that the young lady no longer mentioned yesterday's incident, the two also tacitly shut up and got busy in the room.

Su Miao read the book, and knew that her father had already gone to the Hou Ye's mansion, and he must have discussed yesterday's affairs, since the old lady and her father were relieved, then Su Man must be going to marry Sun Zhuo, but what she did was not honorable, and Lord Bai was mixed in it, and the seat of Mrs. Shizi she wanted must not be there.

Su Miao beckoned to Zi Rao, and thought of the words she heard Zi Rao say before going to bed last night, she thought of it, but she was a little curious, not to mention that there were also children in Su Mansion, and she was faintly worried.

"Miss?"

Zirao walked to Su Miao's side and put down the cotton cloth in her hand.

"Tell me what you said yesterday?"

Su Miao put down the book in her hand and sat up straight, waiting for Zi Rao to explain to her.

Zi Rao tilted her head and thought for a while, only to know that the sentence she said to Miss yesterday made Miss curious, grabbed the last sentence she said last night, and nodded suddenly in understanding.

"Yes, Miss. ”

"If Miss and the other young masters don't go out, although the master asked the slave and maid to convey it, but in fact, the slave and maid have heard of this matter for a long time, but there has been no letter in the palace, so the slave and maid don't dare to spread it. ”

Su Miao frowned and nodded, motioning for her to continue.

"Just a few days ago, when the slave maid went to our embroidery workshop to see the situation as usual, I heard what the embroidery girls said, they looked at their children much stricter in those days, and the young lady also knew that I occasionally mentioned my brother in front of you was also talking about his naughtiness, after hearing about the abduction of the child, even my mother indulged my brother so much that my brother did not let my brother run away. ”

"In just four or five days, more than a dozen children in the city have been abducted, the oldest is thirteen or fourteen years old, and the youngest one or two months old, and these children are abducted while their parents are not paying attention. Every day in the past few days, I can see the parents of those children crying in front of the yamen. ”

Su Miao was instantly frightened when she heard this number, and asked carefully: "But someone can probably see the general appearance of the kidnapping child?"

Zi Rao thought for a while: "I haven't heard anyone say that they have seen it, but I heard what everyone said is that the person who abducted the child is skillful, and those children didn't even have a voice when they were abducted, so that the parents who watched the child didn't notice it, and after a long time, it was even more difficult to find, and even the people who went to investigate the case in the yamen could only find out that the person who abducted the child changed his hand a few times, and every time he finally broke off with a clue." ”

Su Miao was a little shocked, these people have used ** to abduct children, how dare they dare to do such a thing at the feet of the Son of Heaven!

Seeing that Miss was pondering, Zi Rao continued to herself: "I don't know that these people have really eaten the guts of ambitious leopards, and the feet of the Son of Heaven are still so rampant. ”

Su Miao came back to her senses, "Zirao, you go and investigate this matter carefully." ”

Zi Rao wondered how much her young lady paid attention to this matter, but she nodded yes, turned around and lifted the curtain and went out.

Su Miao exhaled a long breath: I hope I don't get involved with the children of Su Mansion.

In a small courtyard in the capital: "Master, Miss Su will investigate this matter again." ”

When the person sitting behind the desk heard this, he was silent for a long time before he raised his head: "Let her go, there must be someone who can be a witness in this matter." ”

The person who came muttered for a while, as if he didn't understand how the master in the shadows could say this, but he still nodded.

Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by another shout: "Remember to protect her!"

"Yes!"

Wonderful Heart Pavilion.

Su Miao rubbed her eyes that were a little painful after reading for too long, glanced out the window, and called Lianxin: "Lianxin, what time is it?"

Lianxin glanced at the crisp sky outside and replied, "Miss, it's almost time for lunch!"

Zi Rao, who went and returned, also came back, lifted the curtain and waved her hand to let the maid who was cleaning in the room withdraw, and said to Su Miao with a smile: "Miss, next time the maid in the room is cleaning, you can ask Lianxin to lay a chair for you in the courtyard, and the room is blank and asks if it's not good." ”

"Hmm. ”

When Lianxin heard what Zi Rao said, she patted her forehead with some hindsight, and a look of annoyance instantly surged up her cheeks.

"By the way, miss, just now when the slave maid went back to the yard, she met Mama Gu, and she asked the slave maid to tell the lady that the lunch at noon should be used in the courtyard. ”

Zirao said and walked into the room.

"Daddy's back?"

Zirao nodded, "Yes, miss, but I heard that the face of the master when he came back is really not good." ”

When Su Miao heard this, she couldn't help but sneer, Su Man asked her father to come to the door to discuss with others, and her face was lost, how much better could her father's face be.

Sun Hou Mansion.

Although Sun Zhuo is a man, he can't suffer anything in this matter, Sun Hou Ye is still angry after seeing such a mess, and as soon as he came back last night, he let Sun Zhuo kneel in the ancestral hall, which made Mrs. Hou feel distressed, if she didn't think that continuing to persuade in front of Hou Ye would be annoying, she would definitely have to blow the pillow wind all night.

The other ladies in the house had been secretly laughing at them for a long time, but she didn't have time to fight with them at this time.

As soon as the morning dawned, Hou Ye asked Mrs. Hou to bring Sun Zhuo to him. After worrying all night, I don't know how many tears I secretly wiped, Mrs. Hou finally breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Quickly someone brought her son over.

Sun Zhuo, who hadn't slept all night, was much haggard, and his eyes were bloodshot.

After a night, when Hou Ye saw him again, the anger in his heart also dispersed a lot, but he patted the table with some hatred: "Tell me about you, you are the concubine of the Hou Mansion, you have lived for twenty years, and you have never seen anything, but this time you actually planted it on the two girls." ”

Mrs. Hou was startled by the anger that Hou Ye said and gradually increased, and got up and handed over a cup of tea: "Master, dissipate your anger, it's just two girls, just deal with it, don't torture our son." ”

Hou Ye glared at his wife: "You just indulge it! Do you know how it is spread in the capital now, one night, two women and one man! How ugly it is." ”

Mrs. Hou was blocked by these words, and she didn't dare to speak again.

Sun Zhuo's face turned blue: "My son is wrong." ”

Seeing that his son took the initiative to admit his mistake, Marquis Sun snorted and continued: "The two women last night were really not good to rely on directly, one was Su Jiajun and one was Lord Bai. If I send a message to them today that we don't want to marry them, I'm afraid that tomorrow I will be involved in several books in the court. ”

Marquis Sun looked at his son, and saw that Sun Zhuo was still hanging his head and not saying a word, but he was a little satisfied in his heart: "That's it, there are only two concubines, just wait for them to be included in the mansion and offer them casually." ”

When Mrs. Hou heard this, she also knew that Master Hou's anger had disappeared, and she immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Hurriedly smiled and pulled his son to the front of the Hou Ye: "The master is relieved, Zhuo'er quickly thank your father." ”

Sun Zhuo's other hand hidden in his sleeve was tightly clenched, he obviously wanted to marry the eldest lady of the Su family, but now that it is like this, this matter can only be postponed for a few more months before it can be mentioned again.

At noon, under the words of the old lady and General Su, the Su family rarely got together for dinner again.

Su Miao saw the Zeng family with a big belly enter the house, and hurriedly walked over to help Zeng sit down: "Mother, be careful." ”

Su Man also followed, followed Liu into the house, was locked in the firewood room all night, without the old lady's words, even Liu did not dare to send food to Su Man, Su Man, who had not eaten a drop of rice all night, and did not even drink a sip of water, was pale at the moment and looked crumbling.

But there was a look of inevitability in her eyes, and today's lunch made her more sure that her plan had succeeded.

The Liu family also changed the incompatible state with Su Man a few days ago, but today he is taking care of his daughter all the time, and even Suning didn't get a few glances from her.

Su Miao hooked her lips and smiled, and after the old lady spoke, she concentrated on her own dishes for her mother, and she didn't want to be in the limelight at all.

On the other hand, when they saw Liu and Su Man, their eyes were very complicated, and while they disliked Su Man's pickling methods, they were unwilling to admit that they were still a little envious and jealous from the bottom of their hearts, who let Su Man climb the high branch of Sun Hou Mansion.

The lunch was eaten quietly, and when it was about to end, Su Ruian put down the chopsticks in his hand, and everyone stopped their movements with great eyes, and occasionally made eye contact with others, and they all understood that the highlight of the day was coming.
