Chapter 461: No Anger
In the carriage, only Mother Lu was accompanied, and Mrs. Wu showed her true face in anger.
What made her most flustered at this time was what Lu Qingrong said in the lobby of the Criminal Department, which was only half of what he said.
What does Marquis Jing Yuan know?
And how much did he tell Lu Qingrong before he died?
Did Lu Qingrong really understand the truth of the year?
Countless questions kept pouring out of Mrs. Wu's head, making her heart so confused that she couldn't calm down no matter what.
But the deeper the doubts in your heart, the more you will delude yourself and want to ignore them.
As soon as Mrs. Wu spoke, she said something else: "That Mother Cao, and Wu Qiniang, what the hell is going on!" Didn't I say it clearly enough earlier? I was even given a moth to one or two! ”
Mrs. Wu was very angry, and now she still looks like she is gritting her teeth when she mentions it.
Mother Lu replied: "That Wu Qiniang, since she came back from the Criminal Department last time, she has been a little wrong, according to the slave maid, it must have been Lord Zhen who said something serious to her at that time, which made her so uncertain, and finally changed those testimonies to be extremely vague." ”
"As for Mother Cao...... Mother Lu especially wanted to say that she had long felt that she was unreliable, but recalling Mrs. Wu's confident appearance at the beginning, it was difficult to say it directly at the moment, "Xu has never seen any big world in the past, and today I was scared by several adults in the hall, so I dare not lie about it......"
A sneer broke out of Mrs. Wu's nose, obviously not agreeing with this statement at all.
"She forgot who insisted on marrying her to the cripple with the oil bottle! I also forgot who drove all the people from Jingchun Hall away, and only Kaien left her! ”
"Something that doesn't divide between grudges and enemies!"
Mrs. Wu was all frustrated and worried. At this moment, it seems to have turned into resentment, poured into Cao's mother alone.
Mother Lu listened to her like this, and scolded many more ugly words.
When the scolding was enough, Mrs. Wu changed her words: "I didn't expect it." Lord Yu really spared no effort to protect Jiang Xuan! actually found a high-powered Lord Ji to audit, as well as those so-called witnesses...... Lord Yu kept saying that Wu Qiniang's words were vague and could not be regarded as evidence, could it be that the people he found could be regarded as human witnesses if he said how Jiang Xuan was filial? It's just too deceitful! ”
Mrs. Wu could only complain.
Even if Lord Yu deceives people too much, so what?
The first assistant of the cabinet is Lord Ji. is polite in front of Lord Zhen, and he can't do anything to him......
The more Mrs. Wu thought about it, the more irritated she became, as if all people and things were working against her.
I wondered. Why was even the second lady of the Chengping Hou Mansion invited? Mrs. Wu's anger was still there, "I stayed in the hall for most of the day, and I didn't say a word...... I really want to hear if she wants to excuse Jiang Xuan! ”
Lu's mother also couldn't figure it out. But I don't think it's like it: "Maybe." She was brought in by An Lebo to help us speak? ”
Mrs. Wu really eased up a little, but she was still complaining: "On such an important occasion, she didn't even inform me before she came!" ”
Mother Lu accompanied her smiling face, and she didn't dare to answer easily.
This is actually a clear thing.
Since the prince has become more and more popular over the years, and his discord with Mrs. Wu has also been noticed by more people. The second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion is no longer as preoccupied with Mrs. Wu as before. In particular, Jiang Ke later accepted He Qingwan, the widow of Song Shixiang of the Chengping Marquis Mansion, as a concubine...... The second lady had actually already begun to meet Mrs. Wu and walked around......
However. At this time, the appearance of the second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion was far more than Mrs. Wu, and they were wondering.
Lu Qingrong was also puzzled.
I haven't seen her come to the Hou Mansion for a long time. Lu Qingrong had long been aware of her gradual estrangement from Mrs. Wu. And just now in the lobby of the Criminal Department, she seemed to be watching the excitement from beginning to end, and it didn't seem like she was here to help Mrs. Wu.
It's just that according to her personality of often thinking of herself as a matchmaker at that time and liking to chew the root of her tongue everywhere, she doesn't want to be someone who Lord Yu will invite.
Lu Qingrong stood in front of the criminal department, watching the carriage of the second lady of the Chengping Marquis Mansion slowly drive away, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: Why is this person here......
After a while, I finally waited until everyone was gone.
Lu Qingrong still did not board the carriage, but took the green bamboo and turned to another carriage parked on the side of the road more than ten zhang away.
As soon as he got closer, a maid immediately poked her head out inside, saw the person who was coming, and immediately jumped out of the carriage and asked Lu Qingrong to enter.
The person in front of him who was helping Lu Qingrong lift the curtain was Xiangqiao, the personal maid of Qiu Jinting, the lord of Kangning County.
Lu Qingrong did not hesitate to get into the car, leaving Luzhu and Xiangqiao waiting outside.
I saw the lord of Kangning County sitting in the car, wearing a real red coat, a hibiscus-colored skirt, his hair combed into a high bun, and he always wore a lot of red gold and ruby beads, as if he attached great importance to the occasion he was preparing to attend.
"The county lord is dressed like he's going to drink wine!" Lu Qingrong never thought that one day Qiu Jinting would joke so easily.
Qiu Jinting glanced at her: "Did anyone wear such a red to drink wedding wine?" That's not stealing the limelight from the bride! ”
She doesn't look like someone who is afraid of stealing the limelight from others......
Lu Qingrong only floated through her heart when she said this, after all, she was not too close to Qiu Jinting.
Lu Qingrong said seriously: "Today, the county lord came over, but he didn't admit that he ran in vain, which is really a bit of a sin!" ”
"That's why I've been waiting here and not leaving!" Qiu Jinting immediately asked, "What's going on?" How's the case going? Don't you need my circumstantial evidence? ”
Lu Qingrong told her about the situation in general, and did not fall behind in all kinds of conversations, including herself, but did not explain too much the reason why Mrs. Wu retreated.
Qiu Jinting only heard that this matter had been successfully concluded.
It's just that I don't know much about the reason.
According to her character, she doesn't like to get to the bottom of it, but since she doesn't need herself, she ends up relaxed.
She only sighed: "What a mess this is! Mrs. Wu is still the same, she doesn't think about things, this is good, she talks inconsistently in the lobby of the Criminal Department, and she is embarrassed to be thrown in front of the court officials! ”
Qiu Jinting can say whatever he wants.
Lu Qing smiled tolerantly, and didn't continue her, but said: "It happened suddenly, I didn't expect Mrs. Wu to give up the false accusation so easily, and Lord Yu found so much circumstantial evidence...... This is why the county lord ran away, but I regret it, I still have to thank you! ”
"Today's trial is over in one breath, what do you have to regret!" Qiu Jinting was unforgiving.
Seeing Lu Qingrong but smiling silently, Qiu Jinting then said, "I'm not here to help you!" ”
"I can't get used to seeing Mrs. Wu always jumping up and down like this, looking for trouble!" Qiu Jinting sighed, "And I have never had a result in my own divorce, although I have moved back to the princess's mansion a long time ago, but in real terms, I am still a member of your Jingyuan Marquis Mansion." If Mrs. Wu continues to mess around like this, and she is confused and brings a charge of raiding the Hou Mansion to destroy the house, I will not be arrested and beheaded! ”
Lu Qingrong was still amused by her, and did not refute, only smiled and nodded.
It is rare to help once, but Qiu Jinting himself said that he was seeking profit and avoiding trouble.
In fact, Qiu Jinting's words were not all jokes.
At least, she really thinks about her future.
Let's not talk about whether they can reconcile smoothly in the future, just with the current situation, it is impossible for her and Mrs. Wu to reconcile as before. Since this is the case, of course she wants to sell Lu Qingrong's face. After all, she has lived in the Hou Mansion for so long, and I am afraid that no one knows better than her about the respective strengths of Mrs. Wu and Lu Qingrong. If it is said that these two people were barely evenly matched earlier, then in the past two years, Mrs. Wu can be said to have been defeated.
Qiu Jinting is not a fool, since she is determined to leave Jiang Ke, then there is no longer any conflict of interest between her and Lu Qingrong, and this is the best time to ease relations with Lu Qingrong.
Once that-for-tat obsession was thrown away, Qiu Jinting gradually figured it out, whether it was the ruthless expulsion in Guangyin Temple back then, or Lu Qingrong's tactful persuasion before the Duanyang Banquet, it turned out that Lu Qingrong had saved her more than once......
Qiu Jinting didn't like this feeling of indebtedness, and immediately withdrew his thoughts.
I saw her complaining with a regretful face: "It's a pity, I didn't have a chance to scold people today!" ”
As if she didn't see Lu Qingrong's smile, she continued: "Fortunately, I came by myself!" ”
"Huh?" Lu Qingrong was puzzled.
"Originally, I wanted to make a big noise, to shake them up, and to invite my mother to come...... Fortunately, I endured it in the end! Otherwise, if she runs away in vain, I will be the one who will be scolded! "Qiu Jinting, this is the truth.
Lu Qingrong does not doubt him, but still has his own opinions.
With Princess Chengyang's person, even if Qiu Jinting really invited, I am afraid that he may not be able to move......
After all, Jiang Xuan hadn't been able to leave the Criminal Department, and Lu Qingrong always felt not so relaxed in his heart, and after thanking him again, he didn't stay in the car for a long time and said goodbye to Qiu Jinting.
Hurriedly returned to the Hou Mansion, and when Lu Qingrong was hesitating whether to go to Mrs. Wu and ask her questions about today's doubts face to face, Mrs. Wu had already made the first move.
"Madam, just now Mother Cao came back before you, but Qinyi Yuan sent a few mothers-in-law with five big and three rough mothers-in-law, and she took Mother Cao away without saying anything!" Qiulan was in a hurry to pray.
Lu Qingrong didn't have time to change his clothes, so he immediately turned his head and went straight to Qinyi Courtyard.
On the way, I didn't forget to tell Luzhu to go to the front yard and let Mo Nan catch up with a few people to go over, just in case.
Who knows, when I arrived at Qinyiyuan, I didn't see the imaginary violent scene at all.
The silence in the courtyard was even a little weird.
She walked from the courtyard gate to the flower hall, but she didn't see a single person.
In the flower hall, Mrs. Wu sat on the main seat under the attendant of Lu's mother.
Cao's mother knelt down.
Neither of them spoke, just looked at each other quietly.
