Chapter 49: Arrested
At night, the Prime Minister's Mansion was quieter than usual today.
Lin Zhijiao waited until the maids also fell asleep, then turned over and got out of bed.
Fortunately, there are few people in my room now, otherwise there are always people watching as usual. Otherwise, before she could reach the back door, she would have been found at the door of her room.
Lin Zhijiao carefully took out the money in the pillow.
"You can't give him so much at once, or he'll think I'm rich. Let's give him two hundred taels as I said before. ”
Lin Zhijiao is as shrewd as Xue in this aspect.
It's just a pity that Lin Zhijiao is still much shallower than the Xue family, otherwise the Xue family will never give this money for one or two silver.
"You said that the eldest lady and the prime minister are true, Aunt Xue obviously deliberately framed our eldest lady. When it comes to ward rounds, ward rounds. ”
"If you want me to see that this is everyone's demeanor, Aunt Xue made such a show, if she didn't check it in front of everyone, it is estimated that many people would think that she was weak-hearted."
"It makes sense, but this matter is over, and Aunt Xue is also grounded. Why are you still here to watch? ”
"I don't know about that. But don't say it's a cold night, phew! It's all Aunt Xue's doing. ”
"Harm, whatever, let's just take care of ours. Isn't that much better than patrolling outside. ”
"yes, let's go."
After receiving the notice from the prime minister and the eldest lady, the government soldiers all lay in ambush at the back door, sat in the grass, and covered their figures with grass.
Zhang Ze was pacing outside the back door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, a little anxious in his heart, will this Lin Zhijiao come?
If she told the Xue family, the Xue family would definitely not let her give money. I knew that I would follow her to withdraw money during the day.
To wait or not to wait?
Wait, if Lin Zhijiao doesn't give him money, he will follow Lin Zhijiao and threaten her again tomorrow.
Or kidnap her directly and ask the Xue family to pay the money.
Zhang Ze was worried here, but Lin Zhijiao had already come.
A government soldier was drowsy, rubbed his eyes, glanced outside, and suddenly saw a figure.
"Wake up, wake up! Someone's coming! ”
The soldiers who had been sleeping crookedly all straightened up in an instant.
"Where?"
"There! Don't talk! ”
The soldiers all held their breath and hid behind the grass, staring at the figure carefully.
Lin Zhijiao was afraid of being discovered, so she looked left and right. Seeing that there was no one around, he took out the key and opened the back door.
She took the key from the maid today.
"Someone's opening the door! Do you want to arrest it? A government soldier was anxious to arrest someone, so he asked the government soldiers around him.
"What's the hurry! What if it's just going to something? Let's see if there's anyone else. ”
As soon as Lin Zhijiao opened the door, Zhang Ze found that Zhang Ze was leaning against the door, waiting anxiously.
"You're here, did you bring the money?" Zhang Ze looked at Lin Zhijiao with a cruel smile.
"Bring two hundred taels for you!" Lin Zhijiao was really tired of Zhang Ze, she actually looked at Zhang Ze looking good before, and her heart was a little springy, but it seems that she really knows people and faces, she doesn't know her heart, she looks good, but her heart stinks like mud.
If Lin Zhiyu heard this, he would definitely feel very funny, even Lin Zhijiao could say such things, then Zhang Ze was really a scumbag.
I saw the figure take out the key and open the door, and there was still a person outside after going out. At this time, they already wanted to go out to arrest people.
Unexpectedly, after waiting for a while, I found that this person actually took out something from you and gave it to him.
"Up!"
"Don't move!"
The government soldiers rushed up in one go, and the momentum was huge. It woke up many people who were so close that they were awakened.
Lin Zhijiao was impatient when she was startled by the voice behind her. Zhang Ze also immediately took the money and ran away as soon as he heard the voice.
The guards outside also heard the sound inside, so they hurriedly ran over, but unfortunately they didn't catch Zhang Ze, who reacted faster.
Lin Zhijiao didn't run a single step and was stunned.
"Who! Don't move! ”
Lin Zhijiao didn't expect that she would be discovered, and her current behavior is to meet with her foreign man in private and give money to others.
How can this be explained?
Right! Zhang Ze!
Lin Zhijiao hurriedly turned back to find Zhang Ze, but she only saw Zhang Ze running away.
"Catch him! Hurry up and catch him! ”
"Second Miss?!"
The soldiers never thought that it was the second lady Lin Zhijiao who met with the foreign man.
"It's not! Not me! ”
Lin Zhijiao screamed, covered her face, and ran into the yard.
The government soldiers grabbed her, but they didn't dare to touch her, so they had to escort her to the prime minister and the eldest lady's room.
The eldest lady had already instructed that as long as she was caught, no matter how late she was, she would be called up, and she would interrogate her personally.
The eldest lady thought that they had really caught Lianhua, and sighed, it seems that she is going to change Yu'er to a new maid, but she just hopes that Lin Zhiyu will not favor Lianhua.
"Ma'am, have you caught someone? I'll go with you, too. The prime minister got up sleepily.
"No need, you have to go to the morning court tomorrow morning, so you can sleep a little longer. I'll take care of these things. The eldest lady asked the prime minister to lie down again and tucked the corners of the quilt for him.
The eldest lady simply freshened up, and when she appeared in front of everyone again, she was as usual, without the slightest indecency.
"What about people?"
The eldest lady didn't let the prime minister follow along, and she just had to solve the affairs of the people in the backyard.
"Mrs. Hui, people...... We were brought to the door. It's just ......" the government soldiers swallowed and didn't dare to say it.
"Just what?" The eldest lady has a bad premonition, it can't really be Lin Zhiyu, right?
"Yes...... It's Miss Two. After speaking, the soldiers didn't dare to bring Lin Zhijiao up, it was all up to the eldest lady to decide.
"Second Miss?" The eldest lady never thought that I would be the second lady, and Xue said this thing to mean that Lianhua met with a foreign man in private.
Since he insisted that someone guard him at the back door, it must be impossible for someone to arrest his daughter.
"What's going on?" The eldest lady couldn't figure it out.
"Madame, you'd better go and have a look." The soldiers didn't dare to escort Lin Zhijiao, so they could only ask her to wait at the door after talking and discussing.
When the eldest lady came, Lin Zhijiao was still very uncooperative, "Why are you arresting me?" Why don't you go and catch that guy! ”
"Second Miss, we have no choice, please wait for a while." The government soldiers didn't dare to let her go, so they could only have this Lin Zhijiao to beat and scold.
"Presumptuous!"
The eldest lady saw that Lin Zhijiao was still pampered in front of her, and she was immediately angry.
Obviously they are all fathers, why is it so different to change to a mother? She hadn't taken Lin Zhiyu and Lin Zhixian much before, but how could her children be so obedient.
I really doubt whether Lin Zhijiao is the prime minister's child.
"Lin Zhijiao, you have a private meeting with a foreign man in the middle of the night, how do you explain it?!" A discerning servant brought a chair to the eldest lady, and the eldest lady sat on the chair and asked Lin Zhijiao.
"I ...... I do not know. Lin Zhijiao's eyes dodged, she really didn't know how to explain, after all, she couldn't tell the eldest lady that this was the person who was in Huguo Temple last time.
"You don't know? Don't know to meet him? The eldest lady looked at Lin Zhijiao as if she was hiding something.
"I ...... Don't ask me! I don't know anything! Lin Zhijiao found that she couldn't say a word.
Zhang Ze's identity has to be concealed, and the reason why she saw Zhang Ze can't be said. Even if he was threatened, he couldn't say it, Lin Zhijiao felt extremely aggrieved.
"How could you not know anything? What did you give that man? "Although Lin Zhijiao is not her child, the eldest lady still hates iron and steel, how could the Xue family raise the child like this?
"I ...... I said I don't know! I don't know! Don't ask! Woo woo...... "Lin Zhijiao was asked to collapse, if she could say it, she would have said it a long time ago, why did the eldest lady keep asking her.
"Your mother said that Yu'er's maid had an affair with a foreign man, and took us to check her yard! It turned out to be you, and it turned out to be you! Are you worthy of her thoughts? Although the eldest lady didn't look down on Xue's cautiousness, she was deeply touched by the fact that Xue's was really good to Lin Zhijiao.
After all, they are all people who have daughters, and it is naturally worth paying something for their daughters. But it's very annoying for her to hurt other people's daughters for the sake of her own daughter.
"My mother said that? That's why you grounded her? Lin Zhijiao didn't expect that the Xue family would be grounded because of this.
"I didn't ground her, it was ordered by the prime minister." The eldest lady looked at Lin Zhijiao, originally thinking that they were all the prime minister's own flesh and blood, and there might not be such a big difference.
Looking at it this way, the difference is really big, just look at how calm and confident Lin Zhiyu was when he was being rounded during the day today, and then look at Lin Zhijiao's panicked and scoundrel performance now.
The eldest lady once again had deep doubts about whether Lin Zhijiao was the prime minister's child.
"Father...... How could a father order to grounding his mother. No way! Just because I checked Lin Zhiyu's yard? Lin Zhijiao thought that her mother had done something, but she just checked the yard.
"Presumptuous! Yu'er is your sister! If you dare to call him by his name in front of me, then you can't go against the sky in private! Seeing that Lin Zhijiao was so disrespectful to Lin Zhiyu, the eldest lady was even more angry.
The eldest lady really guessed correctly, Lin Zhijiao is already in control, otherwise she would directly call Lin Zhiyu blind in private.
"I don't want to say these things to you, but you know. The Xue family is just a concubine who was brought in, and a concubine in someone else's house is not the master of the family. We've been giving you face for so many years. Yu'er and Xian'er have, I haven't been shorter than yours, don't be grateful. ”
The eldest lady sighed after speaking, and said What's the use of this, Lin Zhijiao is already so old, and the ideas that the Xue family has instilled in her have long been difficult to change.
Lin Zhijiao bowed her head and didn't speak, she knew what other people's homes were like, but it was just someone else's concubine's room, and they didn't know how to fight for it. Isn't it because she knows how to fight for her mother to get to today's position?
When the eldest lady saw Lin Zhijiao's appearance, she didn't listen to it at all, and it was not early now, so many people were delayed to sleep.
"Forget it, I hope one day you'll understand. You and your mother should be grounded together, fined for half a year, grounded for two months, and copied the female ring for me every day. The eldest lady held her head, she was old, and she felt a lot of energy spent dealing with such a small matter.
"The soldiers sent the second lady to the courtyard, and the rest of the people dispersed."
The eldest lady got up from the chair and turned around and went back to the house, no longer caring how Lin Zhijiao was unconvinced.
At this time, the Xue family didn't know that he was bent on making up for his mistakes, but he harmed his daughter.
