"Mrs. Shizi hasn't gone out today." Lu's mother replied.

She didn't lie, but she also had a mind and wanted to drag it out.

A few days ago, she accompanied Mrs. Wu to the Yuyuan Courtyard and saw with her own eyes that Mrs. Wu arched the fire of Mrs. Shizi.

But now, the Yuyuan side is still calm, but Mrs. Wu is becoming more and more restless and can't sit still.

"Then quickly send someone to keep an eye on her, and as soon as she goes out, you will immediately go and find Cao's mother!" Mrs. Wu spoke very quickly.

Lu's mother felt that Mrs. Wu was still in a panic, and she was a little too much.

And over the years, Cao's mother, who was in the Yuyuan, gradually became estranged from her, which inevitably made Lu's mother a little distrustful of her.

At this point, she persuaded, "Look...... We already have Wu Qiniang's personal witness, and you also said that her performance in front of the Queen Mother and the emperor is impeccable, and you have been leaving her in Qinyi Courtyard for a while these days, and there is nothing you can do about her on the side of Mrs. Shizi. In that case, why did you go to Cao's mother? ”

Madame Wu let out a long sigh.

"Lord Yu has been ignoring the case since he took over the case, and now the trial is finally about to start, but before the official court, he first called Wu Qiniang to the criminal department for questioning. And after Wu Qiniang came back, I always felt that something was wrong with her, like she had suffered some grievances in the Criminal Department......"

"Won't it?" Lu's mother felt that Mrs. Wu was thinking too much.

Wu Qiniang came back from the Criminal Department on the same day, and she was also present when she called Mrs. Wu back. I didn't see any clues.

Lu's mother said: "I think that her pale face is all caused by nervousness, and she herself said that there was nothing wrong with the response that day." After all, the Criminal Department is an extremely vicious place. If a weak woman like her goes, she will definitely be frightened, which is also reasonable. ”

When Mrs. Wu heard this, she couldn't help but wander for a moment.

suddenly remembered Lu Qingrong, who was also a weak woman on the surface, and now going to the criminal department is like a visit......

It is said that every day I go out with anticipation and go home in good spirits.

Mrs. Wu was slandered in her heart. She can't be crazy, right?

Knowing that it is unlikely, it is quite relieving to think about it.

Retracting her thoughts, she said to Lu's mother: "It shouldn't be that simple! ”

"The greatest deterrent of the Criminal Department. It's all about those strange torture instruments, but Wu Qiniang came back unscathed! And when she faced the emperor and the queen mother, she was able to give full play to the prepared emotions and rhetoric, and she didn't see half of her stage fright. Afterwards, it was just like an ordinary person. There is only one penal department. No matter how you say it, you shouldn't be afraid of being like this! ”

When Mother Lu heard this, she knew that it would be difficult to dispel Mrs. Wu's doubts, and she really wanted to avoid getting Mother Cao involved as much as possible.

"Or, let's wait for this case to go to trial and see how it goes?"

"No way!"

Mrs. Wu refused.

"These days, I've been unsure. Recently, I went to the palace to greet the Queen Mother, and I often heard her mention the emperor's poor health...... And the early dynasty of the imperial court has really been spared for a few days! Jiang Xuan's case should be sooner rather than later. There must be a conclusion as soon as possible! Mrs. Wu lowered her voice very low, "If there is a case on the emperor's side." And this case is still inconclusive, it is absolutely impossible! ”

Mother Lu was shocked by the "what if" in Mrs. Wu's mouth, and looked around in fear to make sure that no one eavesdropped on her, and then she took a breath.

Her voice was a little weaker than that of Mrs. Wu: "You mean, if the East Palace succeeds to the throne, it will naturally be fine, but if it is King Jing, it will ......."

These words only hit half of Mrs. Wu's thoughts.

On the other hand, it is more obscure.

In recent years, Jiang Xuan has not been far away from the second prince on the surface, but compared with his alienation from the East Palace, some signs can be seen.

Since he can see it, the emperor must be able to do it too.

Therefore, when the emperor couldn't help but say that Jiang Xuan was locked up, Mrs. Wu's joy had another layer of meaning.

That's when Donggong finally got back a game!

In this way, if Jiang Xuan was not severely punished in the end, it would not be a good sign......

Mrs. Wu did not explain this to Lu's mother.

"Anyway, time is pressing, this matter can't be delayed any longer, for the sake of safety, we must keep another hand! Let Cao's mother prepare first! ”

Mother Lu was really thinking about Mrs. Wu, so she had to say truthfully: "The slave also knows the importance of this matter, so she is worried that it will be self-defeating...... Mother Cao's mother has been too smooth in Yuyuan over the years, or she has really been subdued by Mrs. Shizi! ”

"Impossible!"

Mrs. Wu was very sure.

"Her grudge against Mrs. Jiang is real! Otherwise, when I dismissed the people of Jingchun Hall, I would not have just left her behind, and arranged her in the courtyard of the prince for so many years......"

Of course, Mother Lu knew this, but she still hesitated: "I heard that she is a man now, and he is very good to her, and the family has been very harmonious in recent years, not like pretending." ”

Mrs. Wu didn't care, chuckled twice, and then said: "Back then, Mrs. Jiang was in charge and married her to the cripple with the oil bottle. This hatred will never fade away for a lifetime. And the better the family treats her, the more this hatred will focus on Mrs. Jiang...... You say, how could she help Jiang Xuan? She has done her best in Yuyuan for so many years, but it is just to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and when it comes to life and death, she will definitely not stand on the wrong team! ”

"Besides, she has won the trust of the Lu clan now, not at this time, but when!"

Mrs. Wu's confident and unquestionable appearance made Mother Lu unable to say anything more......

And at this moment in Yuyuan, the reason why Lu Qingrong left the house later than usual was because Cao's mother had something to say.

When she came to the hall early in the morning, Cao's mother looked uncertain, and she wanted to speak in front of Lu Qingrong.

Lu Qingrong had the heart to go to see Jiang Xuan first, and then he would talk about it when he came back. After thinking about it, Cao's mother rarely does this, so she took the initiative to ask: "What's the matter with Cao's mother?" ”

Cao's mother made up her mind and said: "These days, the people of Qinyi Courtyard always go around the courtyard of the slave maid's house, and when I was on duty in the house, I went in once and said some strange things to the children in the house...... I always felt that something was not quite right, and I didn't know whether to mention it in front of my wife......"

Lu Qingrong stopped and didn't go out, but went back and sat down: "Just say, if it's irrelevant, just treat us as a chatter!" Her intuition told her that Mother Cao was not such a reckless person.

"The mother-in-law and the child asked a lot about the relationship between our husband and wife, and the meaning of inquiry was fully revealed. I wondered if the people in Qinyi Yuan had already suspected that they were my husband and children who were separated when I fled the famine in my early years, and that Mrs. Jiang was not ruining me, but was kind to me......

Lu Qingrong pondered seriously for a moment and felt that this was unlikely.

The more time goes by, the more imperceptible it becomes.

What's more, Mrs. Wu was staring at Jiang Xuan's case with all her heart at this time, where did she still have the heart to suspect these trivial matters......

Thinking of Jiang Xuan, Lu Qingrong's heart suddenly moved, and he seemed to understand the intention of Qinyi Courtyard.

They are not suspicious of Mother Cao, but they are planning to use this chess piece that has been buried for many years! (To be continued.) )
