When the whole country was talking about the "downfall" of the Lu Palace, Mrs. Li invited the ladies and nobles of She County to have tea, the reason was to celebrate the Mei.

Very casual reasons.

But everyone didn't care about the reason, it was just that they were all crazy at home and wanted to come out for a walk, so everyone happily agreed.

The Bai family was also invited.

Mrs. Li is really a believer, and when she said that she would carry the Bai family, she really did what she said.

Xu and Zhai took Bai Xiuqing to the appointment. Originally, Bai Xiuning was also going to go, but because Meng Qingyun's leg injury had not healed, it was inconvenient to travel, so she stayed at home to accompany her. Bai Xiuqing naturally refused to let go of this opportunity to get close to the Li family, so she emphasized sex over friends and abandoned her best friend.

The Li family's garden is quite well repaired, and the weather after the plum blossom is also very good, and the sky is high and cloudy. Although it was hot, Mrs. Li placed many ice basins in the house, which made people feel refreshed.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone naturally chatted about the news and current affairs of Lu Wangfu.

"The joint impeachment recital lists the five major crimes of the Lilu Palace, but in fact, the first article is just a common problem in the royal palace of the clan, and it is not worth mentioning; The second, third, and fourth articles actually refer to the heart of the prince, but in addition to the Lu Wangfu, the Qin Wangfu, the Qi Wangfu and the like, they are also the same in private. ”

When a certain noble lady said "Qi Wangfu", Mrs. Li, who was at the top, glanced over and put down her wine glass. The lady was unaware of it and continued.

"The most fatal thing is Article 5, which instigates civil unrest and plots rebellion. As everyone knows, the most ferocious thing in the first half of the year was the Yizhou civil rebellion, the displaced people turned into a chaotic army, attacked the county seat, and plundered places, and several local officials died. Speaking of which, Mrs. Bai family, isn't the former Laizhou governor who was kidnapped and finally killed by the rioters your family's in-laws? ”

Xu, who was suddenly named, had no choice but to answer: "Yes, that's my uncle." The body has not yet been found, and it is still difficult to conclusively judge, but we still have hope in our hearts. ”

"Harm, it's been so long since the civil unrest ended, and no one has been found, I'm afraid there is little hope."

This noble lady is obviously open-mouthed, and when she opens her mouth, she pokes people's hearts.

Others were afraid that Xu would be sad, so they hurriedly comforted her, and everyone else sighed with them.

The noble lady was reminded and knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she quickly turned back to the topic: "Speaking of the Lu Palace, it is said that the Yizhou civil unrest was instigated and manipulated by them behind the scenes. ”

"Huh? Didn't it say that San Lang of the Lu Wangfu went to the meeting single-handedly and persuaded the leader of the rebel army to surrender, which ended this civil unrest? Why are they now said to be behind the scenes? ”

"That's why it's shocking!"

"But King Lu's Mansion is in Mizhou, how can he manipulate the affairs of Yizhou? Besides, what good is it for them to incite civil unrest? ”

"It's not for the position of the prince yet! The official family has not decided on the candidate for the stepson, and the various royal clans are fighting openly and secretly, and the Chunfu fraud case is a loss for the Qin Palace, even so, the Liulang of the Qin Palace's Mansion is still famous, and the Lu Wangfu naturally wants to open his eyes for him in order to help his own San Lang take the throne, so he directed and acted in the Yizhou civil turmoil. ”

"Think about it, the San Lang of the Nalu Palace, who is just an ordinary person, and has never been in battle to kill the enemy, how can he have the courage to dare to break into the chaotic military camp alone? What leverage does he have to persuade the leader of the rebel army to surrender? ”

"When you think about it, it's too legendary."

"Not legendary. According to the script, it was originally the Lu Wangfu who was manipulating behind the scenes, and the leader of the rebellious army was the eagle dog dead soldier planted by the Lu Wangfu in the chaos of the people, and the impeached person had a lot of evidence. ”

"Huh? Speaking of which, isn't Meng Pei, the head of the Ministry of Rites who impeached the Lu Palace, the brother of Meng Zhizhou who was killed? ”

So everyone focused their eyes on Xu's face again.

The Xu family, who couldn't keep a low profile, hurriedly explained: "That is the chief official of the Yaxi Meng family, our uncle is from the second room, although it is a family, but the long house has nothing to do with our Bai family, why Meng Shilang impeached the Lu Palace, we don't know anything." ”

Everyone couldn't help complaining, disgusted that Xu's tone was too tight.

It was Mrs. Li who played a round: "If you want to come to such a confidential and important matter, even the closest family members may not reveal it, not to mention that the Bai family and the Meng family are just in-laws, Meng Shilang is a Beijing official, but the Bai family is in She County, how can they ventilate in advance?" ”

Everyone had no choice but to say yes, let go of the Xu family, and re-discuss the inside story of the Lu Palace.

No matter how complicated the reasons are, it seems that the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai should have already had enough evidence, otherwise they would not have convicted Lu Wangfu so quickly.

Now that the Lu Wangfu cadres and others are already on the way to Beijing, I don't know what will happen to them after entering Beijing. Tianhuang nobles have been reduced to prisoners, which is enough to make people sigh.

These noble ladies are all relatives of officials, and they naturally care about the current affairs of the court, and they chat enthusiastically.

Bai Xiuqing was bored listening to it, as if she was on pins and needles, and finally found an opportunity and quietly slipped out of the seat.

After wandering around the garden for a while, she stopped a passing maid.

"Is Shichiro at home?"

As soon as the maidservant heard her ask Shichiro, a familiar smile appeared on her face, and she said, "Yes." ”

Bai Xiuqing became happy and asked, "Where is he?" ”

But the maid kept her mouth shut and shook her head.

Bai Xiuqing thought she was taking Qiao, picked up her purse and stuffed it into the other party's hand, and begged: "Good sister, tell me." ”

The maidservant pushed her purse away in panic and said, "Don't embarrass me, girl, if I say it, I will be killed." ”

After saying that, he ran away in a hurry with his head down.

Bai Xiuqing had no choice but to find her own way, but the inner courtyard of the Li family seemed to be loose, but there were people guarding the key places everywhere, as long as she crossed the slightest, someone would appear in time to stop her and ask her to return the way she came.

She wandered around the garden like a headless fly for a long time, and finally returned to the table in vain, and poked the dishes in front of her with one chopstick without a chopstick.

Zhai Shi next to him asked in a low voice, "Where did you go?" ”

Bai Xiuqing said angrily: "Out of Gong." ”

Zhai Shi was choked by her vulgar and straightforward words, and quickly looked left and right, but fortunately no one heard it, and gently slapped the back of her hand: "Don't talk nonsense." ”

Bai Xiuqing pouted.

Mrs. Li's side has already received a report from the maidservant, she governs the family well, and the big and small things in the house can't escape her ears and eyes. Every time she has a banquet, there are always young girls who try to create a small incident such as an affair, and Bai Xiuqing's behavior is not surprising to her at all. But in my heart, it is inevitable that I still look down on such a girl.

Bai Xiuqing didn't know that her impression in Mrs. Li's mind that she was not rich had made it even worse.

When the banquet was over, Xu and the others returned to Bai's house and received a new letter from Bai Rongcheng.

After reading it, she smiled.

It turned out that Bai Rongcheng and others had already left Beijing four days ago and would be able to return to She County in a few days.

In the letter, he also mentioned that a distinguished foreigner accompanied them and instructed the Xu family to clean up the guest house for a grand reception.
