The eldest lady also pretended to cry, stepped forward to grab the guard and asked: "What kind of evil did you hit today, there was an accident in the horse farm, and now there is an accident in the prayer for blessing, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven!" ”

The guard looked at the eldest lady with some displeasure, and said coldly: "The crown prince was assassinated, and we are also trying our best to hunt down the assassin, as for why the second wife Jiang disappeared and whether it is related to the assassin, this needs to be further examined." In other words, even if you find Second Mrs. Jiang later, Second Mrs. Jiang can't follow you back to the inn immediately, and will be taken away for questioning. ”

When the eldest lady heard this, she pretended to be stunned and widened her eyes, "You mean, could it be that our second wife still has a relationship with the assassin?" ”

The eldest lady asked indignantly, but she was snickering in her heart, no matter whether the second wife had anything to do with the assassin or not, and whether the second lady could come back alive this time, it was a great joy for her. It's dark and windy this month, and the second wife has been missing for so long, it's hard to think of something wrong.

Thinking of the arrogant appearance of the second wife on weekdays, the eldest lady suddenly felt very relieved.

"Grandmother ......" The fourth lady Jingxuan suddenly cried even more sadly when she heard that the second wife would be taken for questioning.

Although the old lady was also anxious, after all, she was a person who had seen the wind and waves, and the more she came to this emergency moment, she became more calm, she walked up to the guard, and her face was solemn: "You have to explain to the prince, and I, the old woman, have no power to stop it." But if you find someone, can you please inform us immediately, so that we can see her first, and then take her away for questioning? ”

Seeing that the old lady spoke kindly, the guard also smiled and nodded gently: "Of course." ”

The old lady snorted, then turned around and said aloud, "Listen, don't wait any longer, get into the carriage and go back to the inn first." ”

"Grandmother!"

The fourth lady Jingxuan couldn't accept it, and immediately knelt down, refusing to get up. Sixth Miss Wanyue also stepped forward and knelt at the old lady's feet.

Su Xue stood silently and watched, the old lady went to pull Jingxuan and Wanyue up with tears in her eyes, while the eldest lady and the second lady on the side looked like they didn't care about anything and came to see the joke.

Su Xue secretly sank her eyebrows, this eldest lady is really inferior to the second wife, you can see from this alone.

Now that the second lady has an accident, the old lady is six gods and no owner, if the eldest lady can come forward at this time to appease these crying young ladies, even if it is just for show, the old lady will look at the eldest lady differently. But the reality is that the eldest lady is only proud on the sidelines, and she has lost this great opportunity to please the old lady in vain.

If it were the second wife, I would never do it. Even if the second wife is already happy in her heart, she will have a sad face, even if the knife is on her neck, I am afraid that she has to maintain her virtuous image.

Thinking of this, Su Xue couldn't help frowning secretly.

slowed down, and also stepped forward to reach out to help the sixth lady, and persuaded: "Sixth sister, you have always been the most sensible, why do you follow the fourth sister to mess around?" Now that something like this has happened, everyone is waiting to see the jokes of our Jiang Mansion, and our mother has not been rescued yet, so we can't mess with ourselves. ”

As he spoke, he had already helped Wanyue up, then looked at the old lady again, and said softly: "Grandmother's decision is right, it's not a way for us to stay here and cry, maybe nothing happened to my mother, and when I come back, I see us crying here, won't I be sad?" So no matter what the outcome of the wait is, let's go back to the inn first, and think about it in the long run. ”

The old lady was deeply relieved to hear that someone came out to persuade her, and no matter who it was, she quickly nodded and continued: "Jingxuan, you listen to your grandmother the most on weekdays, hurry up, go back first, no matter what happens, we can't mess around, and think about it in the long run." ”

The eldest lady wanted to watch more jokes, but Su Xue would come forward to persuade her.

Seeing that the old lady and Jingxuan had already walked towards the first carriage, even Su Xue and Wanyue were pulled by the old lady to go together. The eldest lady's face turned pale, she snorted, and pulled the second lady to the second carriage and walked briskly.

Su Xue and the old lady persuaded for a while, and Jingxuan and Wanyue barely stopped crying. With a flick of his whip, the groom turned the horse's head around and hurried back in the direction of the inn.

There were only the eldest lady and the second lady in the second carriage, and the eldest lady was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled: "This prayer is really effective, and I will come here every year in the future." ”

The second lady looked at the eldest lady with some puzzlement, and then also frowned and sighed: "But this horse racing festival is really not peaceful, even Chen Gongzi was injured, and the second aunt ...... Nothing really really happened, could it? ”

The eldest lady glanced at the second lady, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep and no longer answered, it was best if something happened to the second wife, and her wish to put it in the sachet was that their second room would die quickly!

The carriage traveled quite fast, and after a short time they returned to the Xiangyun Inn, and they hurriedly got out of the carriage and returned to the inn.

Brother Hong, the uncle who stayed in the inn, heard that his mother had an accident, and he was also anxious, so he immediately called a few servants who accompanied him and told them to hurry back to Jizhou to inform the second master.

The old lady took Brother Hong'er's hand and sat down with him. Then he turned around and told the ladies to go back to the house to wash up, especially Jingxuan and Wanyue had just cried, and their faces were spent.

But they didn't want to, so they just asked the maid to bring a towel and wipe it, and then waited together in the inn lobby. The old lady saw that they were anxious, and did not continue to persuade them.

However, as soon as the eldest lady returned to the inn, she went back to the room with the second lady, and the old lady was anxious about the matter here, so she didn't ask.

After a while, Hu's mother took a big plush cloak to put on for the old lady, saying that it was windy here. The lobby of Xiangyun Inn has two large windows that are ventilated, and it is indeed a little cool at night.

Looking out at the night through the window lattice, their hearts were pinched together.

Although the innkeeper didn't know why they had to stay in the lobby in the middle of the night, he also knew that something might have happened, so he arranged for the little guy to prepare some supper.

Jingxuan and Wanyue are worried about their mother and have no intention of eating.

The old lady took the supper, and then said in a deep voice: "Since you have to wait, cheer up and eat something to warm your body, otherwise Shu Ning will not come back yet, and you will fall first." ”

Su Xue sat a little farther away from the old lady, and after Jingxuan and Wanyue took the supper, she also took a bowl of hot soup to drink.

Su Xue took two sips, her stomach was indeed much warmer, and she raised her eyes and stared at the night outside the window, it was so dark, as if she was on the bank of the Linxi River......

If you want to say that she is afraid, Su Xue is the one who is most afraid, because she knows in her heart that in fact, this qiē that happened to the second wife should have been made for her to bear.

She sneaked into Beijing this time, not because she was playful, but because she wanted to confirm some things, and she also hoped that she had thought about it too much, but in the end it still happened.

The pair of Hetian jade bracelets sent by Shen Ergongzi himself, she and the second wife each had one. She didn't understand jade, so she rubbed it with her fingertips at will, and found that the jade bracelet was coated with a thin layer of powder.

That powder, recognized by Su Xue, is composed of calcium fluoride, commonly known as luminous powder, and in ancient times, it should be called luminous stone powder.
