Chapter 216: Grievances
I promise you, I will wait in the capital for you to overcome and return. Me and the child, are waiting for you. ”
Qingwan stretched out her arms to hug Wu Wen, and the warm embrace seemed to make Wu Wen feel at ease.
In the afternoon, Jingzhong sent someone to pick up Qingjuan back to Beijing, and Wu Wen was really worried, so he begged Rong Chen to go back with her.
Wu Wen was about to return to the army as soon as he was well recuperated, and together with General Li, he fended off the rebels who were about to attack Sui'an.
The carriage was on the road in the afternoon, and after just two hours, it was completely dark, and the guards from the capital were called escorts, but they were actually escorts, and they looked at Qingwan as if they were prisoners.
In the evening, they went to an inn to rest for a while.
Just pregnant, Qingwan has always been wearing a man's clothes, no one can tell that she is a pregnant woman, so it is good to save people with ulterior motives from worrying about her belly.
As soon as he had drunk porridge in the inn to fill his stomach, Qingwan saw two acquaintances coming down from the upstairs of the inn.
"Yo! Brother and sister! ”
The sister-in-law was very affectionate, and arrived at her table one by one, and did not regard herself as an outsider at all, and immediately sat down on the stool next to Qingwan.
"Brother and sister, isn't it the general's wife, why are you living so shabby? The porridge and side dishes are really not suitable for the identity of younger siblings. ”
Qingwan frowned, looking at her sister-in-law who was not a weapon, that disgusting affectionate style.
"Xiao Er, give me a cup of braised pork, and a plate of Kung Pao chicken, garlic fried shrimp."
"Sister-in-law, I'm tired, so I'll go back to my room to rest first."
As soon as Qingwan stood up, she was dragged back to the stool by her sister-in-law with her sleeve in one hand, and sat down on the stool heavily, Qingwan couldn't help but cover her stomach.
"If you don't eat the dish that your sister-in-law just ordered for you, how can you be worthy of your brother and sister-in-law's wishes?
My brother and sister-in-law have been away from you for a long time, and I can't love you well, but we treat you as my own sister! ”
After a while, a table full of meat was filled, and the smell of greasy meat was uncomfortable.
"Move your chopsticks, do you want to spoil the dishes on this table?"
The sister-in-law smiled and made a waiter, and took the spoon and bowl of Qingwan to her own heart, and filled her with a bowl full of meat.
"Are you satisfied with this kind of service? The General's Wife? ”
Qing Wan was angry from her heart, and she glared back with a look, it seemed that she hadn't lived with this sister-in-law for a long time, and she had forgotten what she was.
"If my sister-in-law wants to serve me, then serve me well, what is this face. I am an official and noblewoman, you are just a plain-headed commoner, and being my slave and maid is to promote you. ”
After finishing speaking, Qingwan overturned a bowl of meat, and stood up with "Teng", "Sister-in-law, the foot-washing water in my room hasn't been soaked yet, and I'm tired of my sister-in-law." ”
"You shameless little hoof, you wait for me!"
Although Qingwan maintained her composure on her face, she almost ran away and returned to the inn's room.
Why is my sister-in-law here?
Who picked her up to the capital?
Now that she has returned to Beijing alone, she is probably going to live alone in the general's mansion in the capital, and the emperor is called to take care of her, but in fact she is under house arrest.
Now that my sister-in-law has arrived in the capital, my mother-in-law will not stay safe in her hometown.
She and Wu Wen were wrong, the capital was not only a tiger and wolf den, this was a place that wanted to eat her alive and refused to even leave her bones!
Qingwan knocked on the wall of his room, and Rong Chen, who lived next door, heard the sound and immediately came to the wall.
"What's wrong? Did that sister-in-law make you uncomfortable? ”
Rong Chen only heard a pause and no sound, and then Qingwan said, "I'm sorry for you, send me a letter."
When I return to Beijing alone, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. For the sake of this child, I can't let people eat it. ”
Qingwan immediately started to write a letter, and after not contacting Zi Yan and Fu Tang for so long, they must have been worried.
If she returns to Beijing alone, if she doesn't have her husband's status to support her and doesn't have any money to live with, it will be really useless.
Qingping City received a letter from Qingwan early the next morning.
Zi Yan took the letter, and without even eating two bites of breakfast, he immediately went to Yipinge.
"Something happened, my sister hasn't contacted us these days, so many things have happened!"
Fu Tang looked at Zi Yan's angry face, and thought to himself that he couldn't be so unstable.
"Who's the messenger?"
Fu Tang was stunned for a moment, and said with an exaggerated face: "You definitely don't believe it when you say it!" ”
Before this pass was sold, Rong Chen came in, and he politely saluted Fu Tang and Zi Yan.
"Sister is really a good means, even you are willing to help her, I knew that today, we don't have to let Ling Qi go to great lengths to investigate you."
Before Zi Yan's words were finished, he was kicked by Futang.
"Rong Chen was originally a helpless person, and the only thing he couldn't let go of in his heart was the patriarch of the clan, and the heirs were extended.
From a humble background, I regarded a little kindness from others to me as a favor, and the king of Zhennan was just a use of me, and my wife treated me sincerely. ”
Fu Tang and Zi Yan looked at each other and smiled, she is such a person, she looks hard and tough, but in fact, she is sincere to everyone, and they all worship her like this.
"My sister went back to Beijing and lived in the General's Mansion? I'm going to help her, I can't let her be bullied. ”
Rong Chen nodded, "I thought, when my wife is pregnant, she must have caring people around her to take care of her, and there must be thugs to take care of the home and nursing home, and there must be money by her side."
Mrs. Qin and the martial brothers and sisters-in-law can enter Beijing, there must be the support of the gods behind them, if we don't have a backer, it is really difficult to do it alone. ”
"What!"
Zi Yan and Fu Tang didn't hear the latter words at all, and were so shocked by the word "pregnant" that they couldn't speak.
Qingwan's letter did not mention this matter, and even they hid it.
"No! I have to go to the capital in person, and no one wants to stop me! ”
Zi Yan wiped the cold sweat on his head, and he was violent, as if if anyone bullied Qingwan, he would fight with someone.
Fu Tang pondered for a while, and before his sister left, he entrusted Yipin Pavilion to him.
Originally, it was planned to wait for the victory to return, and the general Feng Wang was going to open Yipin Pavilion to the capital.
Now that she is alone in the capital, it is probably useless to find someone to take care of her, as she asked in her letter.
"Let's go to the capital together, all the existing business of Yipinge is operated, and all the money we have in the world money bank will be taken out and brought to the capital."
Fu Tang's tone suddenly shocked Zi Yan, he blinked his eyes and looked at Fu Tang, and always felt that he had a little more of his sister's determination.
With Futang and Zi Yan's reply, Rong Chen was also relieved, "Madame can have someone as caring as you to protect her, she will be safe." ”
As he said that, he was about to leave, but he was followed by another person.
Rong Chen got on his horse and watched the young man around him follow without saying a word, and couldn't help but glance over there.
"I'm Ling Qi, I've been investigating you for a long time, if I hadn't been lost in the woods of the border city, I wouldn't have followed you now."
Rong Chen's expression was uncertain, it was really difficult for General Wu Wen and his wife to go to great lengths to investigate him.
"Without further ado, let's hurry up, although Madame's carriage is slow, we have to get into the night before we can get to the capital, I hope nothing happens during the period."
After Rong Chen finished speaking, he whipped hard, and the horse ran forward as if crazy.
At dusk, the carriage entered the capital, followed by the carriage of the sister-in-law and eldest brother of the martial family, and the carriage stopped at the back door of the general's mansion.
On the door of the mansion is written the words "Fujihua Old Pavilion", thinking that this mansion should be the residence of an old minister of the previous dynasty.
Originally, it was planned to wait for the general's triumphant return before giving it to him as a mansion, but now it has not been repaired and Qingjuan has been welcomed to live in.
The house at dusk looked a little dilapidated, and when she walked in alone, she heard the back door close all at once, and alone in this big house, she only felt the wind swishing.
The sister-in-law's carriage did not follow, and it seemed that they would not live with her, presumably someone had arranged other accommodation for them.
Qingwan walked a few steps into the courtyard of the house, and saw a long corridor, on which were hung dense vines, and there were withered pods on it, which was the Saponaria Teng tree.
In the spring, the promenade is sure to be full of wisteria flowers, and in the summer, it produces pods of soaphorn.
No wonder it's called the Old Vine Flower Museum, Qingwan sighed and walked inside, only to find that this house was bigger than he imagined.
After walking for half an hour, I found a house where I stayed, and the house was facing a pond, and in it were lotus flowers that had bloomed.
As soon as she pushed the door in, she almost choked on the dust.
Taking advantage of the reddish light in the sky, Qingwan found the flint in the room, polished it and lit the lantern at the door of the house, which illuminated the room.
There is a plaque on it with a "grand view" on both sides, a pair of couplets, and there are withered peony flowers and bonsai such as bamboos on the table.
It seems that the original owner of this house is a scholarly family with good taste, and if this house is cleaned well, it will be exquisite and lovely.
Suddenly, Qingwan saw the screen behind her shake a little, as if there was a light flickering past.
Qingwan's heart tightened, could anyone not hold it back, this was the first day she returned to Beijing, and she was going to be a killer?
was scared, Qingwan thought to herself that she was a special soldier, how could she become so timid and afraid because she was pregnant, so she tried to take two steps forward.
"Don't come here!" When I heard it, it was a child's voice, only about twelve or thirteen years old.
Slowly, a figure appeared behind the screen, not tall, only to the shoulder of Qingwan.
"I'm going to go there, this is my house."
Qingwan took a step forward, and she heard the child's scream, which frightened her to stop.
"This is my house, I won't allow you to come!"
