Chapter 353: Exploration
Lu Qingrong was still lying on the bed and did not move, but his hand subconsciously clenched Jiang Xuan's sleeve.
"People from the Anle Hou Mansion? What do they want to do? Lu Qingrong frowned.
"In the past few months, in addition to the maid in the house, the woman has seen someone outside once, and it is from Anle Hou's Mansion." Jiang Xuan was very sure, "The person sent to keep an eye on is from Yu Linwei, there will be no difference, and their conversation is also heard clearly, although it is not certain that she was directly sent by the Anle Hou Mansion, but from their straightforward questions and answers, it is not difficult to see that the An Le Hou Mansion still knows her situation very well." ”
"Since she and An Lehou Mansion are all the way, why do you lie to the people over there and say that this child is yours?" Lu Qingrong was very puzzled.
"Strange is here!" Jiang Xuan sighed, and at the same time did not forget to explain, "According to the doctor's estimation after diagnosing the pulse, this child of hers must have been there before she met us." ”
Lu Qingrong confirmed: "You mean, on the way back to the court, before you met her?" ”
"Yes."
"But...... The one who sent her to you, but she didn't know? ”
"That's right!" Jiang Xuan said with a little worry: "If this person is only from the Anle Hou Mansion, it will be fine, but if it is from a higher level...... What about this kid...... I'm afraid it's not that simple! ”
Higher?
Within the curtain, both lay quietly on their beds.
Lu Qingrong was stunned for a long time, and suddenly sat up.
"You mean...... Dowager? ”
Jiang Xuan also followed her and nodded at the same time.
"Didn't she already send two women to our house, if this is still ...... Unlikely, right? Lu Qingrong was a little puzzled. Why did Empress Dowager Wu stare at the Marquis of Jingyuan Mansion like this?
"I can't tell!" Jiang Xuan thought that he still knew more about Empress Dowager Wu.
If it weren't for this sense of danger everywhere, the Wu family would not have the power they have today.
Lu Qingrong was also pondering here.
Wu Shi Niang has been taken out of the Hou Mansion. Now that Wu Qiniang is only left in the Yu Courtyard, it is possible that the Queen Mother is really an uncertain prophet. Prepare others in advance.
But why is it a pregnant woman?
And this woman still seems to be a character who can't work?
Lu Qingrong never expected that after asking Jiang Xuan, although he temporarily dispelled his concerns about emotions, it made the matter itself even more confusing.
Jiang Xuan, because of the doubts in it, was worried that Lu Qingrong would not believe it, so he suddenly had a thought and hesitated for a moment. I thought that this would not only dispel Lu Qingrong's doubts, but also maybe it would really be rewarding.
"Otherwise, would you like to come forward and ask? After all, they are all women, what if she is willing to tell you the truth......" Jiang Xuan carefully built.
Lu Qingrong was slightly stunned, and immediately understood what he meant, but he couldn't tell the truth: "She doesn't tell the truth to the people in Anle Houfu, can she tell me the truth?" ”
"That's different!" Jiang Xuan chuckled, "She dared to lie to that side, obviously knowing that they didn't understand the situation." However, we are different, this child can't take a vacation in the month, the matter is obvious, she can only keep her mouth shut. But there is no way to deny it. ”
Lu Qingrong nodded secretly.
From the bottom of her heart, she still wanted to find out about this matter, especially why the woman had to count this child on Jiang Xuan's head. Such nonsense is just for the sake of relying on the Marquis of Jingyuan. Or is there something else to cover up?
Lu Qingrong immediately made up his mind.
"Bring her tomorrow, let me try it!"
"Tomorrow will be fine." Jiang Xuan stretched out his hand. Falling on the top of Lu Qingrong's head, it seemed to be caressing, as if it was rubbing, before he put it down, took her hand, and said with a smile: "How can she be allowed to enter and leave the Hou Mansion at will, if she is seen by others, it is even more unclear." I'll take you to Muxi Hutong! ”
Lu Qingrong frowned slightly, and was about to speak, Jiang Xuan had already rushed in front of her: "Don't worry, I won't go in." ”
The eyebrows stretched, and Lu Qingrong didn't say anything more.
And so it was settled.
Early the next morning.
It was spring, the sky was getting earlier and earlier, and just after the beginning of the day, there was already a halo in the east.
On the quiet Rongen Street, the carriage of the Marquis of Jingyuan had already set off, and when there were few passers-by, they went to the side of Muxi Hutong.
The carriage stopped in front of the house, and it was only dark.
Lu Qingrong stood in front of the door, looking at this ordinary mansion.
Although it is a two-entry house, there is no back door because the backyard is only separated by a wall from the shop on the north street. The only main entrance, but only two small pitch-black door panels, and judging from the fact that the paint is peeling, the house may not have rested for days.
Lu Qingrong never underestimated him, and straightened his clothes.
Today, she wore a moon-white embroidered orchid collared gown, a water-colored skirt, her hair was tied in a simple bun, and she only wore a red and silver dotted emerald tassel hairpin, dignified and low-key.
Lu Qingrong turned around and nodded at Jiang Xuan in front of him.
Jiang Xuan understood and returned to the carriage on his own.
Lu Qingrong was accompanied by green bamboo and walked into the courtyard gate.
Originally, in order to dispel the woman's vigilance, Lu Qingrong only wanted to take Luzhu alone.
Helplessly, he couldn't stand Jiang Xuan's insistence, and in the end, two Yu Linwei followed behind him, dressed as a little girl.
Walking into the house, there is only a small open space in the courtyard of the first entry, and there is a locust tree standing in an improper position in the east, which seems to have been planted by the previous owner, and the year is only about one or twenty years, but even so, the shade of this tree is enough to cover most of the yard.
Lu Qingrong didn't go to the backyard, but just walked into the hall.
The hall is quite spacious because there is little furniture in total.
Only near the north side, there are two wooden circle chairs, and in the middle is a four-corner coffee table with the same texture, and what kind of wood this is, Lu Qingrong doesn't recognize.
Lu Zhu's eyes were quick, and he stepped forward to wipe it with a handkerchief before helping Lu Qingrong to sit down.
After Lu Qingrong sat down, after a while, there was immediately movement outside.
There was a very light sound of footsteps from far and near.
Soon, two women of similar height entered the hall.
One of them was wearing a pink-colored dress, the color was so old that you didn't need to look closely to know that it had been worn out over the years, and I am afraid that it had been some time.
And if it weren't for the high bulge of the pink-clothed woman's abdomen, Lu Qingrong wouldn't have been able to tell which of the two in front of him was the master, just because their clothes were too similar.
Lu Qingrong didn't have time to see her appearance clearly, only to see the pregnant woman, take a few steps forward, and knelt in front of Lu Qingrong.
"Please help me make the decision!" (To be continued......)
