After passing the **** in Chang'an's Xie Mansion, the carriage went straight out of Beijing to the east. Granny Lu was extremely anxious, eager to fly to Jinyang, although she was a little reluctant to leave Jinshu, who had been brought up since childhood, but she was more worried about Baimei, who was pregnant and had a serious reaction.

But the carriage didn't seem to be in a hurry, she couldn't help urging to hurry up, the coachman knew that Granny Lu's identity was no better than that of ordinary house slaves, and replied respectfully: "Mother Lu, this is what Brother Cai ordered, he said that the third son has an explanation, saying that your boss is recovering from illness, and the road should not be too bumpy, and the car should be more stable." ”

Although Granny Lu was very grateful for Mingjing's carefulness, she was more concerned about Baimei than her own comfort, and hurriedly urged: "It's okay, I can hold it!" Hurry up, the eldest prince is in a hurry! If Cai Liu doesn't allow it, you let him come to me for questioning! ”

The speed of the car really increased, although Granny Lu was shaken so much that her whole body seemed to fall apart, her mood was extremely comfortable and eager, and she calculated how many days it would take to get to Jinyang.

After walking for a while, the coachman "shouted", but the carriage stopped, and Mrs. Lu didn't know what to do, and after waiting for a while, she didn't see leaving, so she opened the curtain and asked, "Why don't you leave?" ”

As she was talking, Cai Liu, who was in charge of escorting her, came over with a happy face, and said with some excitement: "Mother Lu! The eldest prince can't wait to send someone to pick you up! As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a carriage parked in front of him, and a middle-aged guard leading a horse stood next to the car.

Mother Lu looked at the people in her eyes, and she was a little puzzled: "How do you know that this is someone sent by the eldest prince?" ”

Cai Liu stepped forward and said with a smile: "That's my mother in the inner courtyard I don't know, I went to Jinyang with the third prince last time, and lived for several months, this is the eldest prince's henchman Han Sanlang, who is extremely safe and capable, the eldest prince can send him to pick him up, it can be seen that he values Lu's mother very much." We are very familiar with each other in Jinyang for a few months, my mother can rest assured, he will take care of him all the way, and I will take my mother to Jinyang safely and quickly. ”

Granny Lu put her mind at ease, she was very relieved and complacent, the Xie family has never had such a big dignity as herself: "Well, since the eldest prince is here to pick up, then I will take that car to go, and you will go out with me just after the New Year's Festival!" ”

Cai Liu nodded yes, helped her down and ordered her to move the salute, quickly placed her in the car, and said a few words to Han Sanlang, said goodbye to Granny Lu, and turned to leave.

The carriage that Granny Lu sat in again still did not lose the characteristics of Xie Fu, it was still sturdy and simple on the outside, comfortable and warm on the inside, and there was even a small smoker exuding a warm fragrance, which made people tired and gradually confused.

I don't know when she woke up from the cold, but when she opened her eyes, she was stunned, and she couldn't react for a while. She was in a small, cold and dark room, with nothing but a simple and narrow wooden bed and a rough table and a stool, and the roof was covered with cobwebs, and the floor was covered with dust.

Suddenly I was shocked, thinking that I was dreaming, and when I was about to get up, I found that her hands were tied behind her back and her feet were also tied. Could it be that Han Saburo who looks like a Lian family? I vaguely remember that it was still half of the afternoon before she fell asleep, and now that it was dark, how long had he tied himself up?

Could it be that he was not sent by the eldest prince to pick him up at all, so did he deceive Cai Liu, or did he collude with Cai Liuxin to deceive himself? So what are they doing?

was about to shout loudly, but the door opened from the outside, and when she saw the person pushing the door in, she lost her voice and shouted: "Third son?!" ”

The other party gritted his teeth and spit out three words: "Old pious woman! He picked up the stool and was about to smash it at her, but was stopped by Mo'er who followed up: "Childe, you still have something to ask, if it is broken, who will go?" ”

Mingjing still held back the evil anger in his heart and put down the stool, pushed Mo'er away and walked over, kicking the Lu Nanniang who had just stood up to the ground: "Old pious woman! How dare you hurt Shu'er like that! Killing you won't cure the hatred in my heart! ”

Granny Lu suddenly collapsed to the ground, seeing that Mingjing came to kick her again, Mo'er hugged him alive, and let people wipe the table and stool to help him sit down: "Son, don't be angry!" Have you forgotten Miss Zhou's confession? Let's hurry up and ask her! ”

"Miss Zhou?" Thinking of Zhou Changsheng's calm look and intelligent eyes, she suddenly understood that the eldest prince could send her all the way to Xie Mansion, and she had been in the deep palace for eight years, how could she be deceived by herself so easily?

Looking at Mingjing, who would want her life at any time in her anger, Granny Lu was very frightened, and then remembered Mingche and Aunt Bai, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, she couldn't care about the pain in her chest, raised her body and begged bitterly: "Ask the third prince to be kind and let the old slave go to Jinyang first, the eldest prince can send someone to pick it up, I'm afraid that Aunt Bai's reaction is too heavy, right?" The matter is not to be taken lightly, let the old slave go to see her first, and when she is well, the third prince can be judged as much as he wants! ”

Mingjing laughed angrily, his face was full of disdain, and he scolded: "Old pious woman! Do you think that letter is true? Think that carriage was really sent by the eldest brother to pick you up? Jinyang is so far away, I'm afraid you won't be able to reach it for the rest of your life! ”

Granny Lu finally understood that this time people had long suspected her and set up such a big trap for her to get into.

Mingjing's anger seemed to be able to tear her apart, she shuddered, straightened up and defended: "The old slave just hopes that Aunt Bai can give birth to a boy and half a girl for the eldest son, so she will believe it." And the old slave has never abused the eldest lady in the slightest, she is the old slave who grew up with her own eyes, and the young grandmother is on her deathbed, how can I bear to abuse her? If I treat her badly, how can the eldest lady be so inseparable from me? ”

Mingjing stood up: "You still have the face to mention sister-in-law!" What did she do to you when she was alive? Jin Shu treats you better than your relatives, what have you done? ”

As he spoke, he was about to pounce, but was pulled by Mo'er and begged: "Childe forgot Miss Zhou's explanation, you haven't asked a few questions she wants to ask, killing this old pious woman is a small matter, but who should you ask?" ”

After speaking, he turned around and glared at the grandmother, and said unceremoniously: "If you honestly return to the third son, there may be a glimmer of life, if you dare to hide half a point, you will have no place to die!" ”

Mrs. Lu seemed to see a glimmer of life, and hurriedly said: "The third son asked, the old slave knew everything, I just hope that the son will not misunderstand the old slave, I have really never abused the eldest lady, and she can't do without the old slave, if Aunt Bai's matter is false, let the old slave go back and continue to take care of the eldest lady after asking, right?" ”

Mingjing held back the disgust in his heart and said word by word: "Then tell me, who brought the four-year-old Shu'er to her when her sister-in-law was sick and struggling until she died?" What is the purpose of you doing everything possible to intimidate and control Shu'er over the years, and not allow her to have any contact? What is the relationship between you and Aunt Bai? Who else in the house is your accomplice? ”
