At three o'clock in the morning, the two women who were selected by the guards trembled and went to serve Mrs. Zhou, who had slept in the Buddha hall for a night, to dress and eat, and prepare to leave.

I thought it would be extremely difficult, but it turned out to be surprisingly smooth.

Mrs. Zhou, who was awakened, opened her eyes blankly, then smiled, stretched her arms very happily, and said, "Are you going to enter the palace to see Concubine Xian?" The second prince was only five years old and was crowned King of Qi, but it was a big deal, and he must have entered the palace early to congratulate him. ”

If it's Concubine Xie Xian of the Xiaozong Dynasty, isn't it already dead for a long time?

A short, fat woman was stunned for a moment, but was snatched up by her clever companion next to her, and replied with a somewhat flattering smile: "No, ma'am! When the slaves and maids have dressed you, and you have eaten, the chariots and horses will be ready. ”

"Remember to bring Sister Hua with you, so that the emperor and queen will be happy, maybe you can make a big difference." , The white-haired Mrs. Zhou flattened her mouth as she spoke, and her wrinkled face had a girlish melancholy, and said: "I think back then, if it weren't for Empress Dowager Xiao who controlled the harem of Wuzong, was jealous and jealous, and didn't allow beauties to enter the palace, I wouldn't have been sent by my grandfather to marry into the Zhou family." Without that blessing, I hope that there will be more successful ...... among the younger generations."

"Madam, your blessing is first-class! Do you think how many others in Luojing City can compare to yours? ”

After all, it is an old servant who has served for decades, and the two women exchanged glances, and you coaxed Mrs. Zhou very tacitly......

Obviously only supported by two old women, Mrs. Zhou still had a satisfied smile on her face and stepped into the carriage covered with oil walls. It was as if he was surrounded by a crowd of slaves and boarded the eight-treasure car specially given by the palace to pick up people.

"Let's go!" , Zhou Manyun, who had been watching coldly, snorted softly. Leaned back on Xiao Man's plump chest. With the arrival of a new day, Mrs. Zhou's dream began again and again from the glory of pride.

Xiao Man nodded. Pulling the reins, the black steed stepped down and began with a stagger.

The carriages and horses for the return trip were temporarily obtained from the village, and there were only two that housed Zhou Shen and Mrs. Zhou. The other women who served Mrs. Zhou were driven to two open carts, which were supposed to pull grass and transport materials from the village, and although they were cleaned at night, they still smelled of choking feed.

Moreover, every man's hand is tied to the same rope as his companion's, like a slave to sin, to be sold.

A small family maid. This is the first time for these women that such an embarrassing and humiliating situation has occurred. You know, even if it was a few who were sold into the house when they were young. The cars that I sat in were also covered with cheap curtains.

But no one dared to complain, they all bowed their heads and pretended to be dumb.

Halfway through the procession, the convoy stopped at a place called Willow Po and rested. A team of people who came from Huocheng with Zhou Chen was also here and joined Man Yun and the others.

Probed Zhou Shen, who was asleep in the carriage, and put the curtain back on. Zhou Chen, who was red-eyed, couldn't help but sniff, covered his face with his hands, and cried in a low voice.

Man Yun only glanced at it from a distance, then turned his head and refocused on a middle-aged man in front of him with a sharp weapon scratch on his face. said: "As they said, Xiangping was given to death by me last night, and the body is still on Zetingzhuang." ”

They refer to the women who are now behind Man Yun who serve Mrs. Zhou in Zeting, and the middle-aged man is Xiangping's husband. More precisely, ex-husband.

"Thank you, Miss, for giving her the whole body. The little one will clean up and help her get a grave. Xiangping's ex-husband kowtowed respectfully. pleaded in a low voice: "It's just that the two children she left in the villain's house didn't remember their biological mother when they were young. Villain. The villain was not willing to let them recognize his mother. As long as the little ones live for a day, they will be restrained to be honest......"

Man Yun lowered his eyes. It has already been done. She is not afraid of revenge for her mother, but obviously the man in front of her is worried that the dead Xiangping will affect his life and the children's lives.

"Miss Six!" Seeing that Man Yun was silent, the middle-aged man eagerly straightened up, pointed to the long scar on his face and said: "It's not that the villain is cold and ruthless, when she wanted to return to Mrs. Tai to serve, the villain stopped her, so she scratched her small face with scissors, and even her own Da Nier was stabbed with scissors."

The little one was really afraid that she would be prevented from going to Mrs. Tai to stay at home with her loyalty, but it would make her hurt the children, so she asked the husband who wrote to help write a letter of resignation on the grounds that his wife was guilty of a husband! These things can be witnessed by the neighbors...... Now, the villain, his stepwife, and a few children are living happily, but they really don't want to have any more twists and turns. ”

The middle-aged man's voice burst into tears, attracting the response of several onlookers.

Bai Lu, who understood Manyun's thoughts, leaned sideways and whispered in Manyun's ear: "He is now working on the dock, and I also know about family affairs." Although his stepwife gave birth to a son, he was loyal and good to the first two children, and those two children only thought that they were born to their stepmothers. ”

Zhou Manyun nodded.

Xiangping's ex-husband immediately breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been pardoned, and kowtowed to the ground again.

The resuming convoy and the riders who went to Zeting to help deal with the aftermath went against each other.

Finally, a few of the women sitting in the open-top car couldn't help but cry bitterly. They are also somewhat similar to Xiangping, they were all holding back a breath of loyalty at that time, turned their faces with their families, and returned to Mrs. Zhou's side. And now, they don't know if anyone will open the door for them if they want to go home. If he dies like this, it will be the same as Xiangping, and it will become a lonely grave that no one cares about in a few years.

"There is no certainty of marriage in the world. Sometimes it is not necessary to blame men for being unkind, women are also cold, and there is no way to elaborate on grievances and grievances......", the wind poured an ear of crying, Bai Lu couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and rubbed the head of Hongmei in front of her.

Hongmei, who is the same age as Man Yun, had to be taken by Bai Lu because she was not tall enough to drive a horse in a hurry.

Hongmei, who had not yet opened her mind, raised her face and grinned heartlessly.

Man Yun, who looked at Hongmei's smiling face, lowered his head. She understands that Bai Lu is devoted to teaching Hongmei. In addition to her good qualifications, the most important thing is that Hongmei, who is as big as herself, is the best candidate to be Zhou Manyun's stand-in. If there is a day of danger, the red plum that has been cultivated since childhood must also be "loyal".

"We need Hongmei's loyalty, but we don't need her life. Therefore, in the future, Zhou Manyun should work harder to be good to himself. Zhou Manyun raised his head again, his eyes flashing with sparkle light.

As soon as the low-key convoy entered the gate of Huocheng, it rushed towards Xiao Zhoufu in Xinan again. Lu met the concerned inquiries of the clan, and Zhou Chen only responded one by one, and went to Zeting Manor to pick up his grandmother, Mrs. Zhou.

found Zhou Shen's matter, and the Zhou family planned not to mention it for the time being.

In addition to those who died in Zeting, after receiving an urgent report from Man Yun from Zeting to find Brother Shen, the Zhou family, who was eyeing the line of the ransom letter in Huocheng, also shot out in the early morning to arrest the two bandits.

Although it is very hard to travel back and forth. Zhou Manyun still participated in the interrogation of these two living mouths.

But the result was only unsatisfactory, the two bandits who stayed in Huocheng were actually Jianghu people who were temporarily brought in by Xie Deshan. said that there was some value, and among this gang of bandits, it was not Xie Deshan who often gave orders, but his wife Yu Niang.

Most of the people on Zetingzhuang have a good impression of Yu Niang. This woman is about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a very beautiful and lovely face with fine eyes for Danfeng, and her behavior and words are a little charming, and she can be regarded as a beauty.

"Good skills, great strength. understands the disguise, and still carries some poison on his body. These characteristics confessed by the bandits are unknown to the locals of Zeting.

On that day, the white girl who kidnapped Zhou Shen neatly in the downtown of Huocheng was Yu Niang.

According to speculation, this jade girl rushed back to Zeting after tying up Zhou Shen. She is very skilled, and it is not difficult to sneak into Mrs. Zhou's room first while no one is paying attention. Then. Xie Deshan then carried Zhou Shen, whose face was covered, over, and waited for Hongmei's mother to rush to Mrs. Zhou's room to pick up people. They just replaced the people.

The matter was basically clear, and everyone in the Zhou family who was around Zhou Shen's bedside stared at Zhou Shen's left hand with a little finger. I can't help but have mixed tastes in my heart. At first, they only thought that the kidnapping was carried out by Zhang Shaoxiong's faction, and they only needed to hate outsiders, but now that the matter involves Mrs. Zhou and the Xie family, the whole family is covered with a layer of gray.

On the day of the kidnapping, Zhou Song and Zhou Bai in Huoshan were both picked up. At this time, Zhou Bai seemed to be a very well-cultivated father, no longer singing and writing well with exaggerated tears like before, only lightly holding Zhou Shen's crippled left hand and crying silently, which made the people in his eyes feel heavy.

So much so that Zhou Song and Zhou Ke in the long room felt ashamed. Although Zhou Song and Zhou Bai were both born to Mrs. Zhou, because the eldest lady was also the daughter of the Xie family, Changfang was much closer in blood.

"On the contrary, we are wrong about Zhang Shaoxiong?" , now all of them are focused on the clues of the Xie family, which made the Zhou family a little confused for a while.

The kidnapping case of the Great Zhou Mansion in the previous life was done by those people in Liupanyan, and the person behind the scenes should be Zhang Shaoxiong. In this case, Zhou Manyun couldn't tell the Zhou family, so he could only stay on the sidelines without saying a word.

Around the time of the unitary time, there was another quick report from Zeting.

Yu Niang and her accomplices, who fled to Xi Ze at night, found it, but Yu Niang died, and only one was left alive. One person and one corpse are secretly being escorted back to Huocheng. Due to the consideration that it was inconvenient for the corpse to enter the city and disturb people, the death certificate and the living certificate were agreed to settle in a small village in the southern suburbs of Huocheng first.

The one who died was the jade girl who had good kung fu and could use poison?

With a little doubt, Zhou Manyun still pretended to be an inconspicuous little guy and followed Du Xuanshuang after receiving the news that the physical evidence had arrived. The dead Yu Niang should still have poison around her, and Zhou Manyun felt that she still had to go with her to test it in person before she could rest assured.

The dark sky was cloudy and rainy, there were no stars and no moon, even if there were torches shining, he followed Du Xuanshuang step by step to approach the agreed village, somehow, Man Yun only felt more and more uneasy in his heart.

It was the Zhou family's guards who stayed in Zeting who greeted them halfway, Du Xuanshuang asked a little and brought a few words of praise.

The guard's big round face was red by the firelight, and he said, "I also got help to pick up the cheap." ”

"Who helped?" , Zhou Manyun couldn't help but ask. Du Xuanshuang mentioned it to her when she was at home, but she didn't make it clear. Because she trusted her uncle, she didn't ask questions. But now, she suddenly wanted to ask again.

Du Xuanshuang turned his head to explain, but was immediately stopped by Zhou Manyun raising his hand. said that it was the thatched house where Yu Niang's body was parked, and in front of him, several waiting figures in front of the house faintly outlined in the darkness.

The hearty laughter in the night breeze was a bit familiar.

"These two kills actually hit Huiluan Bay all the way in the dark, and it happened that we were anchored there on the way back from Baoshan. The disgusting goods came ashore and pretended to pinch their little throats, saying that they were injured by bandits, and they actually wanted six ...... asked the little sixth son to help him. As a result, he was seen through by our little sixth master, and he stabbed a pair with a sword! ”

The young man who was carried by Lu Harrier on his back smiled and explained half a sentence, but turned his head when he heard the sound of approaching footsteps. (To be continued......)
