I didn't see Chuanhu at noon the next day, so I had to make Qiaolan suspicious, even if I didn't have time, I should let my next person come back and get a change of clothes, wouldn't it stink to wear clothes for several days?

Suddenly, Qiao Lan thought of something, and once again sent the food to the courtyard of the study on time, and every time she sent someone back, she also sent clothes, shoes and socks to change her intimately, and the guards looked at her meaningfully, Qiao Lan pretended not to know.

It was like this for several days, and when Qiao Lan was about to lose her nerves, news came from outside, and Peony came back from the outer courtyard in a hurry.

"Madam, something is wrong. "Peony's face is not very good.

"What's wrong?" you say slowly. Qiao Lan grabbed the peony and looked at her nervously, slowly reassuring her.

The peony poured a large pot of water into his stomach in one go, wiped his mouth and said with a pale face: "I went to buy spices early in the morning." Who knows that on the street, I saw that the Yamen of East Street was killing people, the blood flowed like a river, and the people were surrounded by the clapping hands of the three layers and the outer three layers, and there were a few bitter masters crying and shouting about the Qingtian Lord or something, it was a mess, and the officers and soldiers were surrounded layer by layer, I saw with my own eyes that the uncle took a big knife and pressed a person, and there was blood on the knife, and the uncle was not in the study at all. ”

Qiao Lan slowly sat on the recliner and closed her eyes, and gently spit out the words, "I know he's not here, I'm just doing what I have to do." ”

Peony tilted her head and didn't quite understand, but she continued: "I saw the uncle, the majestic and terrifying momentum, the uncle didn't see me, and no one paid attention to me, so I came back by myself, and then I turned the road and went to the prefect's place, and when I saw the lady, he didn't know anything, and said that let me come back and wait with peace of mind, someone will come back and say, let's not run around, don't go out recently to guard the door." ”

"Hmm, let the people below not go out recently, you have to say clearly what you want to do when you go out, and let people look at the people who are staring at the people who go out, understand?" Qiao Lan opened her eyes with a little more majesty and solemnity.

"Yes, the slave and maid understand, so go and tell the butler. ”

"Don't inquire about anything outside, and don't talk too much, I don't like people who are idle and chattering. "Qiaolan's management of the yard is still very strict. The house is also very beautiful.

Although she is not the daughter of everyone, she has her own methods and knowledge, and she manages the yard in a low-key and silent manner.

Qiao Lan didn't sleep well at night, she kept waiting, but she didn't see Chuanhu, but she saw the fifth prince coming back, and saw Qiao Lan waiting at the second gate, she was startled and hurriedly made a move.

"Hello sister-in-law, I'm bothering you, why don't you sleep so late. ”

"Don't worry about your politeness, I'm scaring you, I'm waiting for my husband, thinking he might be able to come back. Qiao Lan didn't ask him where he was going, what he was doing, he knew how to be measured, and he didn't ask what he shouldn't ask.

"We had to do something to get Lord Liu to cooperate. Worrying you, he's fine, nothing. It's just that things around you are a bit cumbersome, why don't you pick up two clothes and food, and I'll take them back? The fifth prince saw Qiaolan standing at the door waiting, worried but didn't ask anything, a little sad, remembering his mother, who had always been so considerate, but didn't ask anything.

"Okay, you wait for me for a while, and I'll go back and pick it up. Qiao Lan quickly turned around and ran into the house, for fear that it would be full of people and leave.

After a while, I packed up a few changes of clothes and coats, and brought them two food boxes, which were very large and could hold a lot of things.

"I packed some things for you, be careful not to spill it, there is a small pot of porridge in it, you can eat a hot one when you heat it, and there is a little steamed bun and baked cakes, the dim sum old man can't eat it, there are refreshing side dishes in it, if you don't have time to heat it, the steamed bun is also soft, don't eat it compactly. Qiao Lan explained carefully.

"Oh, thank you sister-in-law, sister-in-law still feels sorry for us. The fifth prince smelled the fragrance and smiled more sincerely.

"I also brought a bag of medicinal tea, if you have time to cook it for the big guys to drink, go to the fire to detoxify, you have to stay up late to get on the fire, take care of yourself and don't burn your body. ”

"Okay, sister-in-law, thank you, I'm leaving. The fifth prince bowed again, lowered his head and left, his emotions were a little out of control for a while, Qiaolan's gentle words reminded him of the deceased mother, who was also so gentle and considerate, he couldn't control his emotions for a while, and left quickly, and the little girl hurriedly carried his things and smiled and ran away.

Qiao Lan watched them leave, and finally smiled, it's okay if people are okay, don't worry about anything else.

Only then did she yawn, and Peony helped her and smiled, "Madam, you can sleep now." ”

"If you're sleepy, just say it. Qiao Lan glanced at her.

"Why are you yawning when you're not sleepy. Peony teased unceremoniously.

"Hey, let's go, go to bed. Qiao Lan smiled and pulled her back to the house.

Knowing that there was nothing to do with the pager, she was just busy, Qiao Lan also let go of her worries, and lived her life as usual, guarding the door and not going anywhere, and not letting people inquire about the news outside, and not allowing people to enter and exit at will, so just stay in the house if you have nothing to do.

About a few days later, Chuanhu came back with the third son and the fifth son.

"I'm back, I'm tired, I've prepared hot water, you can wash up at any time, let people get some porridge and side dishes, you can eat a little and rest for a while?" Qiao Lan wanted to let them take a good rest, so that they were not in a hurry to ask something.

The third prince showed a warm smile, "Lord Liu is really blessed to have such a good wife." ”

Chuanhu also smiled, "This is my greatest blessing, without my wife's hard work, I don't have today, come and sit in the house, eat something and rest first." ”

"It's okay, it's really sorry to disturb my sister-in-law and Mrs. in the past few days, making you suspense day and night. But fortunately, Yangzhou has been cleaned up thoroughly, and it is time for a new atmosphere. All the salt merchants have been copied and distributed, and their assets are about to be cleaned up and sold, if the sister-in-law has enough money, she can go and buy more things and come back, and those salt merchants will not lack good things in their hands. ”

"This is a public thing, should we go buy it? Brother Huzi?" Qiao Lan did not rush to show a happy expression, but frowned and asked Chuanhu if it was appropriate to do this.

The third prince and the fifth prince smiled happily and satisfied, "It doesn't matter, I'm going to go back to the treasury with the money, don't bring these miscellaneous things, sell them to everyone is the same, just give me money." ”

"Well, this is the third son's intention, you get me some money, isn't Qingyuan going to get married, the house is still empty, just buy more things to go back." ”

"Okay, you wait for me. Qiao Lan went to fetch the silver ticket for him.

"Ming'er, you wait for me to come back, I'll take you to pick out some good things, you can be shocked when you see those salt merchants' things, but there is no shortage of good things. Chuanhu washed his face and said this to her.

"Shall I go?" Qiao Lan hesitated.

"It's okay, and Li Qi's daughter-in-law is also going, you pick up the good ones first, and the rest will be sold, I contacted a few of them, so that everyone can take advantage of the east wind of the third son and the fifth son. Chuanhu also tried his best to be considerate for them, and when he killed so many people, he gave everyone some benefits, which was also a means of appeasement.
