Today's Dong Xiaoyou is no longer the child who only thinks about his own safety in everything, but Mrs. Rong, the wife of the King of Luling. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info So when something like an assassination occurs when she goes out of the city, she can't just rely on the officers and soldiers to track it down. As the mistress of the house, she must make arrangements.

"Madam," the big butler Bai respectfully handed a roster full of names to Dong Xiaoyou, "These are the subordinates who are in charge of delivering information in the mansion when we set the date and itinerary. ”

Dong Xiaoyou asked Ah Chu to take the roster, she took it and opened it, and there were dense names: "There are really a lot of people here." "It's a bit of a headache," however, the other party must have learned the news of such a large assassination operation not long after we set a date, otherwise it would not have been possible to mobilize nearly a hundred assassins so easily. She looked at it and said, "Butler Bai, who do you think we can trust?" ”

"Back to Madame, there are some names in them, and I have already drawn them in vermilion ink. However, not all those who follow the prince are necessarily credible, and the villain does not dare to guarantee this. Therefore, the person whose name is drawn in vermilion ink is a villain who can pat his chest to ensure it. ”

After Dong Xiaoyou heard this, he glanced at the big housekeeper Bai: He is really a very capable person, she has already done what she should do before she commanded, no wonder the prince trusts him so much.

Removing those scarlet names, there are only about twenty names left, and it is much easier to find a traitor from among the more than two dozen people than to blindly look for a needle in a haystack. However, this is a big crime that will cause you to lose your head when you find out, and even if it is tortured, that person will not speak. Dong Xiaoyou rubbed her temples with her fingers: she hates this kind of thing very much, and she doesn't want to wronged good people and make people innocent suffer, and she is resolutely opposed to the matter of being beaten into a trick.

"Butler, take all of them first...... Shut it up. "Even if you don't want to wronged good people, Dong Xiaoyou must control these people first at this moment." However, you must be as cautious as possible when locking up people, and don't be too rough with those people, so as not to put everyone in the house in danger. ”

"Yes, the little one understands." The big butler Bai bowed to Dong Xiaoyou, and then got up to leave.

Dong Xiaoyou sat on the couch and didn't get up yet, but stared at the roof with his head up. Biluo and Ah Chu thought she was still thinking about something, and didn't dare to go over and disturb her.

Speaking of which, Dong Xiaoyou was assassinated on the night he first entered the General's Mansion, but the prince did not order a thorough investigation of the matter, but let the matter pass in such a vague way. At that time, the prince had just arrived in Youzhou, and he didn't dare to make a big deal about it, if the people of the Shi clan in Youzhou were involved, then it would be a big trouble. It seems that the prince knew early on that the assassin's affairs were likely to be related to several big families in Youzhou. Dong Xiaoyou narrowed his eyes: This dripping water is really bottomless. Who doesn't want the prince to stand firm in Youzhou? Xianbei people? The scholars of Youzhou? It's all possible...... And even among the scholars in Youzhou, there must be differences in attitudes. Some people support the prince, some people sit on the wall and watch, and naturally some people oppose it.

In any case, since she is the wife of the prince, it is necessary to stabilize the overall situation when the prince is out of the city. Such a big assassination operation is sold out, and the other party will definitely not give up. Even if it will lie dormant for a while, if you don't lure the snake out of the hole, there will definitely be a third assassination, a fourth assassination......

"Madam," Ren Hong walked in from outside the door, "the people from the Gongsun Mansion have come to visit Madame and Aunt Gongsun." ”

"People from Gongsun Mansion?" Dong Xiaoyou came back to his senses, "Is it Gongsun Taishou's family?" ”

"Yes."

"Welcome in." It seems that he is visiting Gongsun Fang sincerely, after all, the target of the other party's assassination this time is Gongsun Fang, and the people in the house will definitely not be at ease. But fortunately, Dong Xiaoyou let Zhang An start a large-scale investigation from the city since the assassin fled, and with such an attitude, presumably the Gongsun family will not have any dissatisfaction.

"But...... The other party's maid said that the lady must personally go out of the house to greet her. Ren Hong said.

"What, let me meet it myself?" Dong Xiaoyou stood up, her expression was already a little dissatisfied: What do the people of the Gongsun family mean? Could it be that he has a prejudice against her? Could it be that Gongsun Fang wrote a letter to the mansion, thinking that Gongsun Fang had suffered his grievances in the mansion and wanted them to take revenge while the prince was away?

"Madame, if you don't want to go...... And the slave and maid went out and rejected them. Ren Hong has always been a clever girl, and she saw Dong Xiaoyou's slightly dissatisfied look at a glance.

"No," Dong Xiaoyou waved his hand, "How can you say that they are also guests, not to mention that the Gongsun Mansion and our General's Mansion are still in-laws, how can they refuse them?" What she thought in her heart was: If the people of the Gongsun family really want to embarrass themselves, then she doesn't have to worry so much, the person who did so many wrong things is Gongsun Fang, and the big deal is to theorize at the door. She is really not afraid of reasoning, and when the time comes, it will only embarrass the people of Gongsun Mansion and make Gongsun Fang even more shameless. If you want to talk about fighting, hehe, I really don't know if the people in Gongsun Mansion have the courage to take the initiative to provoke the people in the prince's mansion. What's more, not to mention Biluo and Ah Chu, even the fire maids in the house are all good at martial arts, but she is not afraid of fighting at all.

"Let's go." Dong Xiao looked at a few maids with a smile, "Don't let people wait outside the house for a long time." ”

Looking at Dong Xiaoyou's sweet smile, Ren Hong shivered in her heart: What does Madam want to do? The expression that was slightly frowning just now suddenly turned into a spring breeze, but I am afraid that it will not be a good heart.

Biluo and Ah Chuxin were also slightly suspicious, but seeing that their wife had already gotten out of the house and walked out of the door, they naturally had to follow.

When Dong Xiaoyou came to the door, he had already seen the carriage parked on the side outside the gate of the mansion, and there was a maid standing outside the car, surrounded by more than a dozen strong guards. Looking at this situation, the identity of the person who came is not low, but I am afraid that he is at the level of the master of the Gongsun family, not a subordinate of the housekeeper or something.

The soldiers will block, and the water will cover the earth. Dong Xiaoyou walked to the door with a smile and asked, "The guest is a guest when he passes through the house, and Mrs. Ben has important things to deal with, so I didn't have time to go out to greet me immediately, and it really made the guests wait for a long time." ”

The maid glanced at Dong Xiaoyou deeply, and grinned on her lips: "Miss...... No, Madame is so magnificent, and the luxury of this body is really not what it used to be. ”

Dong Xiaoyou heard this, and looked at this maid carefully, and she felt a little familiar. Her eyes widened unconsciously with a puzzled look.

When the maid saw Dong Xiaoyou's appearance, she smiled again: "Madame, didn't you forget the slave?" ”

Dong Xiao was stunned: Who is this maid? She just stood still and didn't make a sound, and looked back at Biluo, who also looked a little surprised.

"Fourth sister, even Jing'er forgot, it seems that I said that you should go out of the house to pick me up in person, but you don't know that you are picking up your sister, right?" A woman came out of the carriage, about two years old, with clouds and green buns, and a pair of apricot eyes were very beautiful. The woman's abdomen was slightly bulging, and it looked like she had been pregnant for several months.

"Second sister!" Dong Xiaoyou's eyes widened, and she shouted excitedly, at this moment, she didn't care about her identity as the wife of the prince, but was so happy that she almost jumped up like a child. This woman is Xu Jiang who married out of the Xu Mansion three years ago, and the maid beside her is naturally Jing'er who has been following her since the Xu Mansion.

Dong Xiaoyou hasn't met Xu Jiang for a long time, and these days, Dong Xiaoyou has been very worried, so he forgot more and more that he had a second sister who married as a concubine in Gongsun's family.

Dong Xiaoyou, Biluo and others greeted each other happily, and helped Xu Jiang down from the carriage carefully, Xu Jiang just lightly climbed Dong Xiaoyou's hand, and then she jumped off the carriage lightly with a tiptoe on her toes. This move startled everyone, only the maid Jing'er next to her didn't even move her eyelids, presumably she was used to it.

Dong Xiao said angrily: "Second sister! You are a man with a body, how can you jump like this? If there is a case, who can afford it? How can you be so careless? ”

When Xu Jiang heard this, he chuckled: "Okay, after getting married, I can talk a lot more than before." Do you dare to teach your second sister a lesson? As she spoke, she reached over to pinch Dong Xiaoyou's lips.

Dong Xiaoyou twisted her head to avoid her hand, and said angrily: "Second sister, don't make trouble, you still have a child in your belly." It's all mothers, and they're still so improper. ”

Xu Jiang finally grabbed Dong Xiaoyou's lips, and she pinched it gently: "Okay, the fourth sister has really grown up, and she knows that she is a pregnant person who takes care of me." ”

Dong Xiaoyou broke free of her hand: "Second sister, it's rare that you're here, let's go, hurry in, don't stay outside for a long time." It's not good if you get blown by the wind. As she spoke, she took Xu Jiang's hand with a smile, and the two sisters entered the house together.

Xu Jiang came out of Gongsun Mansion this time in the name of "visiting Gongsun Fang", but she naturally focused on seeing her sister. Therefore, after she arrived at Gongsun Fang's side courtyard, she just said a few words of greeting, and then walked out of the main hall after leaving the things that the people of Gongsun Fang's family had given to Gongsun Fang. Anyway, Gongsun Fang didn't give Xu Jiang any good looks, and Xu Jiang naturally felt that it didn't matter.

"Second sister, it's really been a long time, I ...... I miss you so much. Dong Xiaoyou said, her eyes were red.

Xu Jiang smiled slightly: "Fourth sister, the second sister also misses you, but the second sister's life in Gongsun's house was not easy a few years ago." So at that time, every time I came back, I could only go back in a hurry, and I couldn't talk to you properly. Speaking of this, there was a trace of guilt on her face, "I didn't expect you to come to the Wang family later...... Alas, it's also my fault that I failed to protect you, second sister. ”

"What else do you want to do? Second sister, you don't have to worry about me, I'm doing well now......" The look on Dong Xiaoyou's face was even more complicated, after all, Xu Jiang married into the Gongsun family in order to protect her, and Gongsun Leopard is lustful, and there are many concubines in the house, presumably after the second sister enters, life is also very difficult. Dong Xiaoyou felt that she had harmed her second sister, so the guilt on her face was even worse.

Xu Jiang showed a confident smile: "Fourth sister, don't underestimate your second sister." Do you know, since I entered the Gongsun Mansion, I have swept away several of his concubines. ”

"Second sister, aren't you ...... like this" Dong Xiaoyou said worriedly, although this year is a little less harsh than the Song and Yuan Dynasty after the Song and Yuan dynasties, it is still an era of oppression of women. Xu Jiang is just a concubine, can he drive away other concubines? It's too dangerous to do this, people can overwhelm Xu Jiang with a "can't tolerate people and are jealous".

"Fourth sister, I know what you're worried about," Xu Jiang said, "However, you can go out and inquire, whoever knows about Gongsun Taishou's mansion, who doesn't say that I'm virtuous?" Who dares to say I'm jealous? ”

Dong Xiaoyou's heart was slightly shocked: Yes, the second sister has been married for several years, not only is she very trusted by the Gongsun family, but she also has no bad reputation. Thinking of this, Dong Xiaoyou couldn't help but take a deep look at the second sister: it seems that she doesn't know much about this second sister...... The second sister doesn't only have the ability to excel in strength, right?
