Zhao Ling sent Jiang Xiaoyu all the way back to Jiangfu, and directly carried her back to Taoyao Courtyard. After the Jiangfu official opened the door, he saw that the prince's face was not good, so he didn't dare to delay, and without saying much, he hurriedly communicated to the old lady and the eldest lady.

"Amitabha, it's good that people come back safely!" The old lady's gloomy face finally loosened a little, and she glanced at the eldest lady coldly, "Be smart, if Xiaoyu really has an accident, do you think you can get out of the way?" I don't know how many times I've told you about this, Jiang Xiaoyu's life is not her own, let alone ours! ”

"The old lady's daughter-in-law can't understand what she said, this matter was done by mountain bandits, what does it have to do with your daughter-in-law?" The eldest lady dusted her sleeves and said lightly.

"What do you have in your stomach that you think I don't know?" The old lady sneered, "Confused! You also colluded with the mountain bandits around the capital, do you know their identity and background? If it is found out that it has something to do with you, how do you end up with it? I think you want to fill in the entire Jiang family! The Jiang family has a place where you can't live with you, why not drag the entire Jiang family to accompany the funeral! ”

Since the last time the eldest lady was pregnant, the old lady ignored her, which made the eldest lady feel cold, and the old lady's heart was deep, and she would no longer take her words as holy decrees as before, and said lightly: "The daughter-in-law doesn't know what the old lady is talking about, and the daughter-in-law is worthy of her heart!" As for the eldest lady being able to kneel safely, the daughter-in-law also felt very relieved! ”

The old lady's face turned blue with anger, and she said coldly: "Since you feel relieved, you might as well go to Taoyao Courtyard to visit, and by the way, think about how to appease the anger of the prince, and take you two women with you, the old body is uncomfortable, and I will go later!" ”

"Yes, daughter-in-law obeys!" The eldest lady got up and left the room with a cold expression.

Outside the house, Sister Jiang Youran was waiting at the door, and when she saw the eldest lady coming out, Jiang Youran took the lead and said, "Mother, Jiang Xiaoyu actually came back alive!" was still picked up by the prince, what the hell do you say is going on, she will be escaped again and again! ”

"Shut up, what does this have to do with us? Shouldn't you be happy that the eldest lady has returned safely? The eldest lady said with a straight face, "Since we returned to Beijing at the same time, the road was in danger, we escaped safely, but we left her to adventure, no matter what, since she escaped safely, we should go and visit now!" ”

"The prince is also here, I'm afraid that we won't be able to explain it now!" Jiang Yiran thought for a while and said.

"If we don't show up for a long time, it will show that we are weak-hearted!" The eldest lady said, "We are just victims, and we are lucky enough to fight each other to come back safely, what do you want to explain?" Do we have to be worthy of them if we can't come back? ”

The eldest lady took Jiang Youran and Jiang Yiran all the way to Taoyao Courtyard, and the subordinates hurriedly entered the house to report.

"They came just in time, and I was just trying to ask about it!" Zhao Ling said coldly, his face that had just softened a little suddenly turned into the bottom of the pot again.

The eldest lady took Sister Jiang Youran inside, and after saluting Zhao Ling, she looked at Jiang Xiaoyu with a worried face and said: "The eldest lady came back safely, my heart was put down, thank God, if the eldest lady really has three longs and two shorts, I am afraid that I will not live in peace!" ”

"If the eldest lady really cares about Xiaoyu as she said, why did she leave her alone, if it weren't for my cousin Ling Huyao to lead people to arrive in time, I'm afraid she would have suffered an accident!" Zhao Ling had a shallow murderous smile on his mouth, and his eyes were full of anger, "The eldest lady, as the head of the house, as the elder of Xiaoyu, actually left her to escape alone, Mrs. is a famous family, she has read poetry and books since she was a child, but she has no regard for her flesh and blood affection, which is really chilling!" ”

"What the prince said is not right!" Jiang Yiran stepped forward and said, "First, the mountain bandits are unexpected, the nursing courtyard has too little to deal with the mountain bandits, and the first nursing courtyard desperately escorted us out of the encirclement, and there is no time to make other plans; Second, even if the mother stayed at that time, could the mother still be the opponent of those mountain bandits? If there is no one to save him, it will just add another soul. Third, we are not the masterminds behind this matter, and the prince of the world has asked us to raise the teacher and mobilize the people to ask the guilt, so we will inevitably find the wrong person, and the real damned people are not those mountain bandits? ”

"Miss Su Wen is very sharp-toothed, I can see it today, and it really deserves its reputation!" Zhao Ling smiled, "This son of the world is not a rude person, if there is no evidence, how can he make trouble at will?" The place where the accident happened is far from the capital and needs the third lady, but it only takes an hour and a half with Qi County, after you get out of trouble, don't you go to Qi County to move troops for help as soon as possible, but go back to the capital directly, this is enough to prove that you clearly intend to put Xiaoyu in danger, and even if she has an accident, it is in line with your wishes! ”

"I met a mountain bandit on the road, I was frightened, and I forgot about it for a while!" The eldest lady lowered her eyes and said, "I just mentioned it by the prince of the world, and I just remembered this matter, I really deserve to be damned, I forgot such an important thing!" ”

"If you really get frightened and forget, it's understandable, but if someone reminds you and still insists on going your own way, then it's a shame!" Zhao Ling smiled coldly, "On the way back, you met a chai man, and he once suggested to you to go to Qi County first, yes or no?" ”

The eldest lady hung her heart, but she met such a person on the road, but she was a nobody, she didn't care, she didn't expect such a small person, the prince could actually notice!

"You don't have to defend yourself!" Zhao Ling glanced at the three of them, "Your mother and daughter have always wanted to find trouble with Xiaoyu, this son is clear in his heart, although you leave her hateful, but she will not be punished, however, this matter will definitely not give up, this justice, this son will definitely get it back for Xiaoyu!" ”

"We are worthy of asking ourselves, if the son of the world has to say this, our mother and daughter have no way to refute it, just listen to it!" Jiang Yiran gritted his teeth and said, "Since the prince treats our mother and daughter like this, if we stay any longer, I'm afraid that the prince will only get more bored, so we will retire first!" ”

The mother and daughter withdrew from Taoyao Courtyard, Jiang Youran was first frightened by Zhao Ling's momentum, and hurriedly pulled her mother's sleeve and asked, "Mother, nothing will happen, right?" ”

"Beware of what, no matter how the son of the world checks, he can't find us!" The eldest lady shouted, "Calm down, don't mess with yourself!" ”

Inside the Taoyao Courtyard.

"How tough is your attitude today?" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled faintly, "I haven't had time to open my mouth yet, everyone has been driven away by you!" ”

"I did something wrong, it's up to the eldest lady to speak herself!" Zhao Lingzuo said, "If it hadn't happened today, I wouldn't have known that around the capital, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there was a nest of bandits hidden, but the officials concealed it and did not report it. ”

"On the way back to Beijing, I was thinking about one thing, the matter of the mountain bandits will not be planned by the eldest lady, there must be people behind, but no one will be willing to put themselves in danger, just to deal with a small role like me, unless this matter can kill two birds with one stone, even if it is investigated, it can still hurt the enemy, at least not yourself!"

Zhao Ling groaned slightly and said, "I understand what you mean, you are afraid that if I continue to investigate, I will find out something unfavorable to me." But if you are afraid that your power will be damaged, you will tolerate the existence of those moths, so what is the difference between me and those moths, not to mention that the second prince will not let such a thing happen, you don't have to worry about this matter, I have my own measure! ”

Jiang Xiaoyu nodded, didn't say anything more, thought about it and asked, "Your Majesty has made a decision on the choice of prime minister?" ”

"You just got out of danger, don't take it to heart for the time being!" Zhao Ling picked up Jiang Xiaoyu, went all the way to the bedroom, and put her on the bed, "Don't think about anything anymore, it's not early at the moment, rest well, everything will wait for tomorrow!" ”

Jiang Xiaoyu was about to speak, but Zhao Ling pressed her lips with his index finger, and sighed again: "I often say that I want to protect your safety, but I often break my promise and make you in danger, I am ashamed." I was going to send a shadow guard to protect me, but I was afraid that you would be troubled, so I didn't take action for a long time! ”

"I'm glad you didn't, otherwise I would have felt restrained, like someone was watching me from behind!" Jiang Xiaoyu said as he removed his fingers.

"When I came to you before, I found that there was a master in your house, but I haven't seen him in recent times, where has he gone? If he protects you, I can rest assured! ”

"That's my senior brother, I'm going to help the master, and I'll be back soon!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled faintly, "Don't worry, I'm enough to protect myself, I won't put myself in danger, you don't have to worry about me!" ”

The two talked about what they had seen and heard in the capital in the past few days, and it was not until Jiang Xiaoyu fell asleep that Zhao Ling left lightly and returned to the Chu Palace.

Ling Huyao was playing with his cousin and cousin, Zhao Ling asked his subordinates to take his younger siblings to rest, and called Ling Huyao to the study.

"What's the matter, cousin?" Ling Huyao said worriedly in his heart, "When you put on a straight face, I feel scared!" ”

"Let's talk about it, you guy won't be so sensible and take the initiative to protect your cousin! How did you meet? Tell me everything that happened! ”

Ling Huyao said with a smile: "I really can't hide anything from my cousin, I just said it, but where did my cousin find such a powerful woman as my cousin, my cousin admires it very much!" Alas, don't stare at me, I'll say it now! ”

Ling Huyao briefly told what happened between himself and Jiang Xiaoyu, of course, ignoring the fact that he was almost insulting others, and finally frowned: "Isn't Princess Xiuwen your cousin your aunt?" How could she find a way to harm her cousin-in-law? Princess Xiuwen is the queen mother's favorite princess, since she has already given birth to such a mind, she will definitely not give up easily, and she will definitely do it next time! ”

Zhao Ling sighed: "I didn't expect my aunt to really oppose this family affair so much, and now I can't do it, for the sake of both of them, I can only let my aunt not have the slightest strength to deal with Xiaoyu anymore, and this matter will have a time to end!" ”
