Regarding Li Er and the old pious woman in the cell, Mo Xiaohe came up with a series of countermeasures, the premise is that the two have a backer, Aunt Lan, if the backer falls, the life of the two can be imagined, but there is another point, the old pious woman pawned her cousin's dowry, and she must find a way to get it back.

Thinking of this, she sighed, irritable for no reason, especially after learning that she was pregnant, she always wanted to get angry for no reason, according to her previous style, she would never think of buying murder, but she really hated the ** in the house.

In Licheng, the relationship between the characters in the city lord's mansion is complicated, the maid and the woman are in charge of things, and they gang up with each other, everyone has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and their speech is also roundabout, Mo Xiaohe looks at it coldly, and looks at all calculations in his eyes, especially those who are self-righteous and smart, just like the harlequin of the troupe, she has always been in line with the principle of seeing through and not saying through.

"Husband, Aunt Lan's revenge on me is a private matter of the Mo family, so don't interfere?"

Mo Xiaohe just promised well, but she changed her mind in an instant, she had a resentment in her heart for no reason, and she couldn't say who it was aimed at, she was different from her family, and she didn't have any sense of belonging to the Mo family.

At least, the benefits that the clan can bring her at present are limited, and there are a lot of troubles, as the daughter of the Mo family in Dawu, she has not been taken care of, once the two countries go to war, she will be the first to be unlucky.

"What's wrong?"

Gu Zheng thought that his mother had a burden in her heart, so she temporarily changed her mind and patiently explained, "If you don't want her to die, there is another way." ”

Aunt Lan's approach is enough for Gu Zheng to kill her ten times and eight times, although he doesn't like to deal with women, but Aunt Lan is targeting the person on the tip of his heart, and it is not a pity to die, he is not shocked on the surface, but in fact, he has already treated her as a dead person.

"I can't say it well, it's a little irritable, and a little awkward."

Mo Xiaohe pulled Gu Zheng's sleeve, her eyes flashed with water, she wanted to say a few sincere words to Gu Zheng, "I don't like the Mo family at all, but this name is really useful, if it weren't for that, my eldest brother wouldn't be able to get out of prison." ”

Mo Xiaohe admits this, but why does the clan protect you? In the end, it comes down to the use value, Mo Huaiyuan has already been promoted at a young age, and he is married to Jingzhao Yin Qianjin, and the intertwined relationship makes the Mo family's status more and more stable.

The women of the big family have been brainwashed since they were children, and they are sacrificed for the interests of the family. Because they know that only if the family does not fall, can it be used as their support, and men cannot be trusted.

In the letter from my father, the Mo family was frequently mentioned, and Mo Xiaohe was very disgusted, if the clan was really so good, why would she abandon the Mo girl with a tainted reputation? In the final analysis, it is still the cousin who has no use value, and it humiliates the clansmen, since it is so realistic, don't always flaunt family affection and blood, so as to control the thinking of the clansmen.

"Husband, I'm a little messy, can you understand that?"

Mo Xiaohe spoke incoherently, and she found that the Mo family was not as harmonious as it appeared on the surface, and her mother was often stepped on because she was born in the countryside, and was neglected by the maid and mother-in-law, until Mo Huaiyuan was taken seriously, and the situation did not improve.

"Yes."

Gu Zheng hugged Mo Xiaohe in his arms, gently patted her back to soothe, just now she retched a few times, Gu Zheng hurriedly followed the method he asked Lao Langzhong for advice, and served a plate of sour plums that had been prepared a long time ago.

"So, I'll write to the clan."

Mo Xiaohe thought that she was aggrieved enough, when she was insecure, she wanted to cut through the mess quickly, thinking that she would be relieved to kill Aunt Lan, but she didn't think about the consequences.

That's right, Aunt Lan deserves to die, but she shouldn't die in her hands, she was wronged, she bears it herself, and she has to burden her husband Gu Zheng, what does the family behind it eat? Take a step back, she buys murder, what if she can't get over the hurdle in her heart?

Gu Zheng nodded helplessly, it was not difficult for him to get rid of a person unconsciously, since Mo Xiaohe had other arrangements, he did not object, he could feel the entanglement in her heart, just like a kind person who was forced to a dead end by thieves, but he could never hold the knife in his hand.

After Mo Xiaohe finished speaking, she tossed and turned, and couldn't sleep, she got up from the bed and wrote a long letter to the clan, explaining the reason.

Early in the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Mo Xiaohe pulled Gu Zheng out, she was about to send the letter out, but she unexpectedly waited for the shopkeeper of the Mo family's shop, and the shopkeeper came to deliver the letter and apologized again and again.

"Miss Xiaohe, the time you read this letter is already two months ago."

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man in his forties, who looks very shrewd, Mo Xiaohe has seen him once, and remembers that he is in charge of a silver building, which is not the property of the Mo family on the surface, and she remembers that the owner seems to be surnamed Liu.

The queen mother Mo Yan is a person with a good heart, Da Wu is willing to bow down to the ministers for more than 20 years, she still can't rest assured, she buried the secret stake early to monitor Da Wu's every move.

"Really, why didn't it arrive a year ago?"

Mo Xiaohe looked at the mark of the candle dripping on it, lowered his eyes and pondered, it seems that this letter is very important, if it is a family letter, it is usually a little silver, and the caravan that entrusts Dawu to do business will be sent to the eldest aunt first, and then handed over to her.

"A few years ago, there was a move in the border city, and a lot of strong men were arrested to serve in the conscription, and the city gate was strictly inspected, and the goods of our shop were detained."

On a cold day, the shopkeeper was full of cold sweat, there had been no problem for so many years, and the people under his hands were careless, and the letter was casually entrained in their goods, thanks to his dredging up and down, and the silver was secretly made last night.

Mo Xiaohe poured a cup of hot tea for the shopkeeper, opened the envelope, and quickly browsed, unlike the previous family letters, there were only a few lines of small characters on it, and Niang Li revealed her worries about the current situation between the lines, so that she and Gu Zheng received the letter and immediately set off for Dayue Kyoto, and the reason given was that the eldest brother Mo Huaiyuan wanted to get married.

"Miss Xiaohe, you should leave early, this city is about to be chaotic."

The shopkeeper is uneasy to owe his body, the current peace is an illusion, as long as there is a fuse, war may start at any time, the grain and grass shops are closed in the year, on the first night of the new year, the warehouses of several grain shops in the city have been pried open by thieves, and they are emptied.

Everything was a premonition and speculation before, and when he heard it in the shopkeeper's mouth, Mo Xiaohe was still stunned, with a deep sense of fear and powerlessness.

"The grain merchants made trouble with the prefect's yamen and asked the prefect to give an explanation, that person was in a hurry and had no time to take care of the concubine, so I left this to the old slave."

The shopkeeper had a good attitude, and bent down to apologize, "I have wronged Miss Xiaohe." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Mo Xiaohe has always eaten soft rather than hard, and when she heard this, she just waved her hand, someone solved Aunt Lan and didn't leave her hidden dangers, it was indeed very worry-free, and she didn't have to worry about it all the time.

Sending the shopkeeper away, Mo Xiaohe raised his eyes to look at the sky, gray, the sun was covered by dark clouds, is this about to change the sky?

The feeling in the early stages of pregnancy is really not very good, from the first day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the first month, half a month, Mo Xiaohe has to vomit two or three times a day, eat and vomit, and is afraid that there is nothing in his stomach, so he reluctantly continues to eat.

Gu Zheng saw it in his eyes, he was anxious, he couldn't wait to bear it for his mother, he originally wanted to have a few more children, but he completely dispelled it, he accompanied Mo Xiaohe to see Lang Zhong again, and after Lang Zhong checked the pulse, it was sure that it was a slippery pulse.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of previous years, the yamen would hold a lantern festival, but this year it was canceled without warning, and the people were forbidden to hold the lantern festival privately.

Since the night of the first day of the new year, Xu Tietou and Mo Daya had a common secret, the two got along naturally, and they did not shy away from suspicion, and they came to the small courtyard of Gu Zheng's house together. As soon as he entered the door, Xu Tietou cautiously closed the courtyard door, and even Mo Daya's face was a little more solemn.

"Brother Xu, cousin, I was looking for you, Aunt Zhang wrapped the rice balls, and my husband and I bought the Lantern Festival again."

Mo Xiaohe, who got the rabbit lamp, for many days, finally turned cloudy and sunny, after pregnancy, she couldn't control her emotions, and she loved to be cranky, after calming down, she thought she was evil, and she was stunned, but fortunately, Gu Zheng understood her.

"Come into the house and say."

Xu Tietou carried two paper bags in his hand, and put them in the stove familiarly, he looked at the rabbit lamp under the eaves, and he was no longer in the mood to laugh at Gu Zheng, strode to the hall, and after sitting down, he poured a big bowl of tea.

"The tea is still cold, and the hot water in the pot has just boiled."

Gu Zheng poured water with a copper kettle, but was stopped by Xu Tietou, "Don't be in a hurry to drink water, you listen to me, a few days ago, I went home to get something......"

Xu Tietou said that his home was in the border city, he went back to deal with some things, and wanted to go out of the city to Dayue, but found that the city gate was closed, he couldn't get in, he couldn't get out, Dawu was equivalent to closing the country and isolating from Dayue.

The atmosphere in the border city was tense, and even the dull ordinary people realized that the situation was not right, and many old people who had experienced it said that the last time such a situation occurred was more than 20 years ago, when the two countries went to war.

"I gave the official a piece of silver, and I want to ask when the city gate will be opened, I still have a small business in Da Yue, and I am planning to collect cash."

Xu Tietou shook his head, the official errand did not accept the silver, he didn't say a word, he used to walk darts often back and forth between Dawu and Dayue, and he was more familiar with the officials who guarded the city, and they transported goods in order to avoid inspection, so they had to give benefits to those people.

"This time, I found out that Zhao Lao Wu, who we knew well, was replaced, and the officials who took over were almost unsympathetic, and even the officers and soldiers guarding were replaced."

Those people, standing upright, looked like well-trained regular troops, not the original rabble who relied on connections to get to the top and only for oil and water and money.

Xu Tietou had a conjecture in his heart, he couldn't be sure, so he specially took gifts and went to Zhao Laowu's house, but was told by his neighbors that Zhao Laowu quit his errand and went south with his family two days ago and went in the direction of Dawu Kyoto, saying that he was going to visit relatives.

"Visiting family? The eighteenth generation of Zhao Lao's five ancestors are all from the border city, which family did he go to Kyoto to visit? ”

Xu Tietou smiled sarcastically, this person has no skills, he is a villain who tends to be inflammatory, but he has an advantage, he is inquiring, well-informed, and his nose is more sensitive than that of a dog, so he must have discovered something.

Taking advantage of the fact that Zhao Laowu's neighbors were not paying attention, Xu Tietou sneaked into his house and found that he didn't bring a lot of slightly valuable things, and the clothes in the box were still full, which could only show that the man left in a hurry.

"It's just what you think, it's going to change."

Gu Zheng squinted his eyes and stared in the direction of the door, after all, they were still one step late, there was no way to return to Dayue, the safest place now is also Dawu Kyoto, counting the days, Mrs. Gu and Qingli should also come.

Those people in Licheng are more well-informed, and if they find that the signs are wrong, they will choose to return to Dayue immediately, so Mrs. Gu and Qingli are safe, and the prefect is busy and has no time to find trouble with Qingyue.

"I'm going south to Kyoto in the next few days to send two acquaintances, what are your plans?"

Gu Zheng asked Xu Tietou, if the world is chaotic, the road will not be peaceful, if he can go along, he will have more protection, after all, he has to put his own wife first.

"You know me, the four seas are home, the border city is not very peaceful, if you stay, you may be caught, I will also go to Kyoto, let's go together."

Xu Tietou originally had this plan, Gu Zheng proposed, he immediately responded, turned his head to look at Mo Daya, "You go with you too." ”

"Why?"

Mo Daya subconsciously returned the favor, she glanced at her cousin, and heard that Mo Xiaohe was going south with Gu Zheng, after all, she was not at ease and agreed to go along. She felt that she was definitely more appropriate to take care of Mo Xiaohe than Gu Zheng.
