Chapter 455: Beware
After being silent for a long time, Lu Qingrong said to Cao's mother: "This time, I'm afraid you want to deviate...... Over there, Qinyiyuan should still treat you as one of their own! ”
Cao's mother was stunned.
Over the years, she has had little contact with Qinyiyuan, and the occasional contact is also extremely perfunctory, do they still not feel their alienation?
Cao's mother's disbelief hung directly on her face.
Lu Qingrong smiled and reminded: "Whether you are close to that side or not, they don't care. What Mrs. Wu really wants to take advantage of is your 'deep-seated and irrevocable hatred' towards Mrs. Jiang. The enemy of the enemy, no matter how much they don't get along, is the best object to use! ”
This could not be more straightforward.
Cao's mother immediately realized.
With an anxious look on her face, Cao's mother was a little at a loss: "The prince has been hurt by them, and he must have suffered a lot of grievances in the Criminal Department...... Now the direction of the case is not known, and the people in our Yuyuan are sweating, and they are already uneasy. What else do they want? ”
Lu Qingrong did not reveal Jiang Xuan's true situation in the Criminal Department to anyone.
Therefore, everyone in Yuyuan thought that the prince was locked up in the prison of the Criminal Department. And through the deliberate rendering of Mrs. Wu and others, the famous prison of the Criminal Department has long been a hellish place in the hearts of everyone, and just thinking about it can make you break out in a cold sweat. It's hard for Mrs. Shizi to visit her every day......
Regarding Cao's mother's questions, Lu Qingrong has already had many possibilities in his heart, of course, all of which are related to this absurd case.
"It doesn't matter what they want!" Lu Qingrong was calm. "Whatever they ask, just say yes! As for the hesitation that should be shown...... I'm sure you won't be able to show your flaws. ”
Lu Qingrong trusted unreservedly. Mother Cao was very grateful, and couldn't help nodding very solemnly.
Lu Qingrong continued: "If it is really related to the case of the prince...... That's giving up the initiative to us! ”
Only by knowing oneself and knowing oneself can one be invincible.
After all, Mrs. Wu was still too anxious and began to self-destruct the Great Wall.
Mother Cao heard the deep meaning of Mrs. Shizi's words, and she was even more excited, hoping that she could really contribute to the rescue of Shiziye, and it would not be in vain that Mrs. Jiang took care of herself in every way.
"Lady Shizi rest assured. The slave and maid must do their best and never disgrace their lives! ”
Lu Qingrong bowed slightly, appreciative. Don't forget to reassure: "You don't have to worry too much, if Qinyi Yuan comes to the door, just take advantage of the situation." ”
After speaking, Lu Qingrong slowly got up. Feel free to ask a few words. Then he left for the criminal department.
These days, she appeared in the small courtyard of the Criminal Department on time every day, and stayed with Jiang Xuan for less than half an hour.
At first, the explanations about the aftermath of the Marquis of Jingyuan were all about in detail, and they had already been finished, but in recent days, the topic has gradually become casual.
Sometimes Lu Qingrong would tell her feelings about being pregnant, which was what Jiang Xuan liked to listen to. I know that her description is exaggerated. is only three or four months pregnant, in Lu Qingrong's description. It was like a lively child, and the breath of life was so strong that it was irresistible.
Other times, the two of them didn't say anything, but sat side by side on the verandah on the west side of the courtyard, watching the sunlight coming from the east courtyard wall, the boundary gradually moved eastward, and slowly swam from one square brick to another square brick in the bluestone corridor in the courtyard. It is as if time is flowing right in front of you, and you can really feel the presence of each moment. This is far more touching than the quicksand in the hourglass, or the dripping water in the leakage.
Every day is half an hour together, but every day is different.
Today, it's a rather dull one.
Lu Qingrong had to tell Jiang Xuan about Cao's mother in front of him, so that he knew in his heart.
"The trial will start the day after tomorrow, and if there are any new human and physical evidence, you must also be prepared in your heart. But don't worry, I'll be prepared in advance......"
Jiang Xuan didn't think so, as if he had long thought that they would have this trick.
Instead, he reminded Lu Qingrong: "When the time comes, if there is more than one person who comes out of this mother, don't be too surprised!" ”
"What?" Lu Qingrong was puzzled.
Jiang Xuan directly said his guess: "Mother Cao, I'm afraid it's just the beginning, Mrs. Wu will definitely go into battle in person this time." If you don't believe it, wait and see, when the criminal department passes through the court, she will definitely do everything possible to come in person! ”
"This ......" Lu Qingrong couldn't figure it out, "When she was in the palace, there was no way, in front of the emperor and the queen mother, she had to personally lead Wu Qiniang to complain." But when it comes to the trial of the case, she is just a 'bitter master', and how can a bitter master of this identity appear in the court? ”
Moreover, the name of virtue that she has painstakingly managed over the years has not come easily. Since she didn't act as a witness this time, why didn't she just stand by and watch the play, and she had to get deeper and deeper, didn't she even have a way out? ”
"The reason why she wants to go into battle in person is to leave a way back for herself!" Jiang Xuan's face was full of disdain, and he sneered, "Don't forget, in terms of reputation, she is still my mother." In the eyes of outsiders, under secular ethics, we are an inseparable family, with both prosperity and loss. Now she is trying to pull me off the horse, and she is buttoning this big hat of disloyalty and unfilial piety...... She rushed out and stood at the front, not on impulse, but to draw a line with me. Only in this way can we bring me down without affecting their mother and son, or even the prosperity of the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion...... You know, her ultimate goal is just to defeat me alone, not to defeat the entire Hou Mansion together......"
So that's it!
Lu Qingrong has been married to the Hou Mansion for many years, and he has long been accustomed to the state of Yuyuan and Qinyi Courtyard going their own way, and it is inevitable that his thinking will be somewhat limited.
Even though she was strange, Mrs. Wu's determination to fight in the nest was really incredible, but she was never as thorough as Jiang Xuan thought.
"Mother Cao, I believe it, but if Mrs. Wu goes into battle in person, are we ......" Lu Qingrong was faintly worried.
Jiang Xuan smiled easily: "You forget, Lord Yu is not a foolish person, do you think he will be deceived by Mrs. Wu's tricks?" ”
Lu Qingrong shook his head, still frowning: "Naturally not!" But what's the use? I still don't think the emperor will believe her ridiculous false accusations, but he hasn't locked you up yet...... It can be seen that what they care about is probably not the truth of the facts at all! ”
After that, no matter how Jiang Xuan persuaded him, Lu Qingrong insisted on refusing to take it lightly......
When she returned to the Hou Mansion, she learned that Mrs. Wu really wanted to use Cao's mother to make trouble in the court!
Fortunately, Cao's mother was loyal, and immediately came to Lu Qingrong to report the situation, and the two discussed for a whole afternoon, and they had a countermeasure......
On the day of the trial, Lu Qingrong was not to be outdone, and like Mrs. Wu, he rushed to the lobby of the Criminal Department.
Although she had already anticipated many possible situations, the appearance in the lobby of the criminal department was still beyond her expectations.
Lu Qingrong couldn't laugh or cry.
Is this going to be a trial, or is it going to be a meeting?
Looking at these familiar faces gathered in the lobby of the Criminal Department, Lu Qingrong couldn't help but hold his forehead, does this matter have anything to do with them...... (To be continued.) )
