Chapter 460: Confrontation
The emperor looked at Shan Changfeng, who was kneeling in front of the hall and crying "heartbroken", and automatically ignored Yang Yuanhai's request to search the mansion, and said lightly: "Then Xuanlu revises." ”
The guards in front of the palace immediately received the order.
The hall was quiet again.
Outside the palace, Gu Zhai.
Qin Niang was drawing a picture in the small study, and Qiu Xue came in with the curtain: "Miss, Liuying came back to report that the guards around His Majesty left the palace and went to the Lu Mansion." ”
Qin Niang stopped the pen in her hand, glanced at her and asked, "Let you keep an eye on the side of the surname, what's the news?" ”
Qiu Xue said: "After Shan Changfeng entered the palace, there was still a person waiting outside the palace gate, and the slave and maid quietly leaned over to take a look, but did not let him get closer, and the wind blew the curtain of the carriage and moved, and the slave and maid saw that there seemed to be a woman hidden in the carriage. ”
Qin Niang squinted her eyes, there were still people hidden in the carriage?
This Shan Changfeng really came prepared, he released rumors everywhere that Shan An had a personal affair with the Lu family back then, if there was no witness, he would talk nonsense, and after entering the palace, he was afraid that he would be directly pulled down by the emperor and cut down.
So, the one hidden in his carriage is a human witness?
"Prepare the car, go back to Lufu with me, I want to ask my grandmother in person, no one knows about the private relationship with the Shan family back then." Qin Niang threw the pen to the side, picked up the robe on the side and put it on.
Counting the hours, it has been an hour since Shan Changfeng entered the palace, thinking that the guards who came out of the palace just now came to the Lu family to invite people, after thinking about it, she said again: "Forget it, let's go to the Yang Mansion, the mother herself should know better about the things back then." ”
Qiu Xue nodded, and quickly went out to let people set up the carriage.
The master and servant hurried to the Yang Mansion.
The Lu family has been sick for the past two days, and I heard that Shan Changfeng also went to the outside of the Yang Mansion to make trouble for a while, and now I am afraid that the city has already been full of wind and rain, and no matter how the village case is handled at that time, in the end, the reputation of these women will not be too good.
As soon as he thought of those things, Lu Shi was angry for a while, and his illness got better slowly.
When Qin Niang came back, she had already gotten up and was served by the grandmother next to her and drank some porridge.
"Mother~" After Qin Niang made a simple salute to Lu Hurriedly, she sent all the people around the Lu family out.
Seeing this, Lu knew that she had something important to say to her, and immediately asked, "What's wrong?" So solemn? ”
"Mother, tell me honestly, when you and Shan An looked at each other, who were around? Who were the people who knew at that time, you have to think about it. Qin Niang asked straight to the point.
This kind of thing is generally not known to too many people, so most of the people who know about it are only the henchmen of the two families, otherwise, if the marriage fails, it will ruin the reputation of the girl's family.
"At that time, the two housewives and the old grandmothers around me also knew, and the personal maid Begonia next to me also knew, but after I promised Begonia someone, she left the capital with her husband's family, what's wrong?" As soon as the Lu family hears about the incident more than 20 years ago, his heart is shocked.
It was originally a marriage that didn't work out, and it wasn't a big deal, but it was stirred up by this single father and son. After a few days, now even she herself is about to wonder if she really had anything unclear about the single family back then.
"That Shan Changfeng entered the palace to sue the emperor." Qin Niang only said this lightly, and the Lu family understood.
Shan Changfeng dared to go to the front of the palace to make a big deal about this matter, then he would definitely not be unprepared, there were only a few people who knew about the events of the year, and the people of the Shan family themselves could not be put in front of the palace to testify, so the only people who could use it were the people of their Lu family.
The grandmother next to Mrs. Lu is still in the Lu family, and she is loyal to Mrs. Lu, only the personal maid beside her has long since left.
"Qiu Xue said, seeing that there was a woman hidden in the carriage of Shan Changfeng on the side of the palace gate, my daughter thought, this is your maid Begonia." After asking clearly, Qin Niang had a bottom in her heart.
Almost all of the people who knew about it back then were still with the original master, only that begonia left the capital because of marriage, that is to say, if the single family wants to buy, they can only start with the person who left.
"Wouldn't it? That begonia has always been loyal to me, and I also released her deed, so that she can marry with peace of mind, why can't she take revenge? Lu said with a tangled heart, "How can we say that we are also masters and servants who grew up together, saying that they are master and servants, but in fact, I have never treated her as a subordinate." ”
The Lu family has always been affectionate, and has always been kind to the servant girl who has followed her for many years, and Qin Niang has also passed on to her, and she is also very kind to the servant girl who grew up with her since childhood.
"Mother, people will change, besides, she has been married for so many years, and no one knows what she has experienced in the middle, besides, as long as she is a person, she has a weakness." Just like her, her weakness is the relatives she cares about.
If someone threatens her with them one day, she won't care about anything. 652 Literature Network
It's just that it can be seen from this point that Shan Changan wants to pour dirty water on the Yang family, and he really takes great pains, and even the maid who has been married in the capital for many years can be recovered.
"Then ......" Lu looked at her at a loss, if Begonia was really bought and accused her indiscriminately, then she couldn't tell it even if she was covered with a mouth.
"Mother, don't worry, I'll go and meet that begonia first, as long as you know it yourself." Qin Niang said, got up and prepared to leave, "Mother, you rest first, and I'll deal with the rest." ”
The Lu family looked at her with a sad face, but she also knew that her daughter had grown up and had an idea, and she could also shelter the Yang family from the wind and rain.
Qin Niang went out of the Yang Mansion and went directly to the palace gate.
The carriage of the long wind was still quietly parked there, the meteor kept staring in the dark, Qin Niang came out of the corner, and wore a Dawei hat on her head, and the meteor saw it, so it flashed over.
"How? Has anyone entered the palace? Qin Niang's eyes fell on the carriage not far away, and she pointed with her chin and asked.
"The subordinates have been staring, the person has not moved, and he should still be in the carriage." Meteor said respectfully.
Qin Niang nodded, entered the gate of a courtyard next to her, and ordered, "You can find a way to make some trouble for the people who are guarding her and bring them to me." ”
Meteor answered and went to do it.
Qin Niang entered the courtyard and went upstairs to the small vacant attic upstairs.
This is an ownerless old courtyard, except for the gate that can be seen, the things inside are basically deserted, and the government has not said that it will come to take back this mansion for other purposes.
Qiu Xue has always liked to walk around the capital, so she stepped on this point early in the morning, Qin Niang's carriage stopped at the side door of this house, and they went around half a circle to the main entrance, just in time to see the green canopy carriage parked outside the palace gate.
"Miss, is Begonia willing to listen to us?" Qiu Tao asked with a worried look at the roof of the carriage opposite through the courtyard wall.
"How do you know if you don't try it?" Qin Niang lifted the corner of her hat, watched Meteor change into an ordinary person's outfit, and slowly leaned towards the carriage.
At first, the coachman guarding the carriage drove him away, but Meteor kept smiling at the other party and didn't know what to say, and hooked his shoulders and back, and the man was quickly hooked by the Flowing Shadow and walked to the corner of the wall.
At this moment, the Shadow jumped out and quickly got into the carriage.
The brothers were very natural, and they didn't attract the attention of the guards outside the palace gate, so soon, Liuying took people to this courtyard and escorted them to the attic.
"Miss, someone brought it." Liuying threw the person to the ground, and his actions did not mean to pity the jade, but his tone was very respectful.
Qin Niang lowered her eyes and looked at the woman on the ground whose face turned pale with fright, and the woman obviously didn't understand why she was pulled here, and the whole person was paralyzed there and became more and more helpless.
Qin Niang looked at her face that already had subtle folds, chapped lips, horror and dazedness in her eyes, and the clothes she was wearing were not particularly good, she settled down and asked, "Your name is Begonia?" ”
The woman was obviously stunned, then pulled away her voice and said hesitantly: "That's my former name, who are you?" Why do you know my previous name? ”
Since she got married, she has changed her name, and her husband's family thinks that Begonia is just a code name used to serve her master, and now she is married to another wife, and she should have her own name, so she later changed her name.
"The previous name? But the name used when I was in the Lu family before? Qin Niang asked lightly.
The woman looked at her with wide eyes, and after a long while, she suppressed the shock in her heart and asked, "Are you a girl from the Lu family?" ”
Qiu Tao didn't know where to find her a shabby chair, and she specially wiped it, so at this time, Qin Niang was sitting in the chair quite imposingly, she looked at each other condescendingly, and said lightly: "Don't care who I am, just tell me if you have been an errand in the courtyard of the Lu family." ”
The woman didn't know for a moment what she wanted to do when she asked this, so she didn't say anything for a while.
Qin Niang said again: "It doesn't matter if you don't say it, it's just that the Lu family treats you thinly, and they also promised you someone else, and even returned the deed of sale to you, but now you want to enter the palace to pour dirty water on her, don't you feel ashamed?" ”
The woman's eyes widened again, and after a moment she cried out: "Girl, I am not ungrateful, and I don't want to do this, but the surname Shan has taken my child, and I have to follow him into Beijing to do such a treacherous thing, begging the girl to save my child, as long as I save my child, I am willing to listen to the girl." ”
As the woman spoke, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and even her snot and tears came out.
Knock knock!
The woman's head slammed against the wooden attic floor, making a crisp sound, and the face, which was originally clean, was already covered with dust at this time, mixed with tears, and soon became a dirty mess, looking very pitiful.
