Chapter 42: Homecoming
Master Yuan looked at Yuan Yan who had walked away, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he just said, "Maybe." ”
Back at the bamboo house, Qiao Yu saw the clothes on the table, picked them up and asked, "Did the lady make up for her husband with her own hands?" ”
Yu Qingtan nodded and said, "Well, it's just a small crack, and you can still wear it if you sew it." ”
"There is a lady Lao, and I like it very much for my husband." Qiao Yu picked up the clothes and looked at them for a while, but he didn't see any traces of mending, so he put it away with joy.
Seeing that Qiao Yu's interest was so high, Yu Qingtan put the unhappiness just now behind him.
"Is it the husband who has sent me to protect me in vain?"
"Well, I'm afraid that you will have an accident, so I will send Bai Bai to follow you at any time."
Yu Qingtan thought of Qiao Yu's behavior on weekdays, and couldn't help frowning, "There should be a lot of enemies of the husband." ”
"It's much safer to stay in the capital than to stay anywhere else."
After the words fell, Qiao Yu said again, "Don't worry, lady, your husband's martial arts are amazing, it's no big deal, you can protect yourself, but the lady is different, it will be better to stay by your side in vain." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm dragging my husband down." Yu Qingtan felt a little guilty.
Qiao Yu said, "It's because your husband has affected you, and your husband always thinks that it may be because of me that you will be assassinated." ”
"It's just that the murderer hasn't been found yet, if we return to the capital, and the people in the shadows send people to hunt down and kill again, what would it be."
"Don't worry, Weifu has already sent additional people around Taifu's mansion and asked Mu Mu to transfer some people back."
Yu Qingtan asked in surprise, "Is it to increase the manpower of the husband who sent Mu Mu out of the house?" ”
"Well, I asked Mu Mu to go to Jingzhou to borrow a few people from a friend to come back, I always feel that the capital has been turbulent recently, the situation is not very good, I am afraid that people will take the opportunity to seek revenge, I am not afraid of martial arts, I am afraid that something will happen to my mother."
Yu Qingtan hesitated, "The concubine is afraid that something will happen to her father and brother." ”
At this time in his previous life, his father did not hear about the affairs of the court, and the general trend was gone.
Although his brother had military exploits, he was disturbed by Li Mingyue and asked himself to guard the frontier.
Now that my father and brother are here, and His Majesty is still quite valued, if there is an accident now, I am afraid that the result will be worse than in the previous life.
"If the lady is worried, we can go back tomorrow, but now the chicken plague is more serious, and I am afraid that it will not be peaceful along the way." Qiao Yu knew that Yu Qingtan was worried, and comforted him.
"We didn't make a noise when we came out, no one should know about our current situation, and it should reduce a lot of time for us to hurry back."
After listening to Yu Qingtan's words, Qiao Yu didn't say anything more, but said, "I'll go and say goodbye to Master later." ”
"What if...... If you can't bear it, we can also live here for a while. Yu Qingtan looked at Qiao Yu and hesitated.
Qiao Yu smiled and shook his head, "Originally, I didn't plan to stay here for a long time, I just wanted to take you to take a break on the road and avoid the limelight." ”
"My husband has been working hard lately." Yu Qingtan said sincerely.
These days, Qiao Yu has been by her side and taken care of her, and she is very grateful.
Qiao Yu held Yu Qingtan's shoulders, his phoenix eyes were soft, "Take the lady out, how hard it is!" ”
"In that case, then I will tell the painting screen to clean up and leave early tomorrow morning."
She is really worried about the safety of her family, and she can only feel at ease when she returns home.
Qiao Yu took advantage of Yu Qingtan's inattention, leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, "Everything is up to the lady." ”
Yu Qingtan was used to Qiao Yu's occasional danger of taking advantage of others, so he glanced at him helplessly, and turned around to call the painting screen.
Early in the morning of the second day, Qiao Yu took Yu Qingtan on the way back to the capital.
When she left, Qiao Yu went to find Yuan Yan, and he should have told her something.
When going down the mountain, Qiao Yu said to Qingtan, "Lady, just now the little junior sister asked me to say sorry on her behalf." ”
"If she wants to apologize, she has to apologize in person, how can she let others apologize on her behalf." Yu Qingtan's eyes turned.
Qiao Yu took Yu Qingtan and said, "What the lady said makes sense, after her husband returns to Beijing, she will fly pigeons to pass the book, and when she is well, she will go down the mountain and apologize to the lady in person." ”
Yu Qingtan smiled and didn't speak.
After what happened to her yesterday, she did have a prejudice against Yuan Yan, and it would definitely not be so easy for her to forgive someone who wanted to kill her.
After going down the mountain, Yu Qingtan did not see Hua Yaozi again, Qiao Yu was happy that Hua Yaozi did not follow, and took Yu Qingtan to return happily.
The chicken plague does not seem to be under control, and along the way, there are still many displaced people who have moved north, and even encountered several homeless riots.
When they returned to the capital, the Taifu Mansion seemed a little depressed.
As soon as Yu Qingtan and Qiao Yu entered the Taifu Mansion, they were called over by Yu Le.
"Tan'er, why did you come back so soon?" Yu Le looked at Yu Qingtan with a somewhat strange expression.
Yu Qingtan asked suspiciously, "Dad, is there something going on in the house?" ”
"Alas, your brother was captured by someone sent by Dali Temple." Hule sighed.
"What the hell is going on?" Yu Qingtan asked anxiously.
Yu Le said, "Your brother was framed for murder, and it was General He's son who was killed, He Lei!" ”
"My brother is sometimes impulsive, but he can't kill anyone." Yu Qingtan said without thinking.
Yu Le shook his head, "When He Lei was found, your brother was also there, holding a murder weapon in his hand. ”
"What did my brother say?" Yu Qingtan asked.
Yu Le thought for a while and said, "Your brother said that when he went to the restaurant, He Lei was fine, and he also said a few words to him, but then somehow, he fainted, and woke up to find that he was holding the murder weapon." ”
"Are there any eyewitnesses who saw my brother kill with their own eyes?" Yu Qingtan asked.
Hule shook his head.
"In this way, my brother was really framed." Yu Qingtan pondered.
Qiao Yu, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "There are no eyewitnesses to prove that Yu Qian did not kill anyone." ”
Yu Qingtan was dissatisfied, "That husband doesn't believe that my brother will kill someone?" ”
"It's not a question of believing each other or not, it's about finding evidence." Qiao Yu explained.
Although Yu Le was not satisfied with Qiao Yu, he had to admit at this time that it was reasonable to find evidence first.
"By the way, what about my sister-in-law? Is she okay? Yu Qingtan saw that he didn't see Ning Ling, so he couldn't help but ask.
Yu Le said, "She went to Dali Temple to see your brother." ”
Liu Ying sighed, "In the past, when the eldest young master was not in trouble, there were a lot of doormen, but now that the eldest young master is imprisoned, there are gradually fewer doormen, so I am afraid of being implicated, but it is really a group of guys who forget their righteousness." ”
"They are also afraid of getting into trouble, and it is not uncommon for people to see the wind and rudder, and the old man has seen some people's faces because of this." Hule waved his hand, not feeling anything.
Human nature is like this, and he has experienced some ups and downs, so he naturally knows their thoughts.
That's how he used to climb up.
Now we can only pray that Dali Siqing can investigate this case fairly and thoroughly, otherwise, he will definitely use his current identity to be preserved.
After Qiao Yu and Yu Qingtan returned to the room, Yu Qingtan thought for a while before saying to Qiao Yu, "Husband, can you help my brother?" ”
"How does the lady want her husband to help?" Qiao Yu groaned.
Yu Qingtan hurriedly said, "My husband has done it in Jinyiwei before, and I should have seen a lot of modus operandi, can my husband help my brother and find out about this case?" ”
"Since the lady asks for it, she will definitely go all out for her husband."
Yu Qingtan happily grabbed Qiao Yu's arm, "Then I'll thank my brother for my husband." ”
At the end, seeing that Qiao Yu's face was as usual, but he didn't have too many expressions, Yu Qingtan asked cautiously, "Husband, don't you want to?" ”
Qiao Yu touched Yu Qingtan's head, "The lady just needs to know that being a husband is for you, not for your brother." ”
Yu Qingtan nodded.
No matter who it is, as long as Qiao Yu promises her, he is willing to help his brother.
Qiao Yu left the room and came to the study.
A crimson dress bloomed like a peony between the bookcases.
Mu Mu asked hesitantly, "Master, will you help General Yu or not?" ”
"Yu Qian is detained, what is the current situation of the Taifu Mansion in the DPRK and China?"
Mu Mu pondered, "Yu Taifu is in the middle of the court, and he is being co-opted by many forces. ”
Qiao Yu asked thoughtfully, "Who is among them?" ”
"The eldest prince, the left minister, the protector general."
Qiao Yu's thin lips hooked, "Interesting, the Taifu Mansion is in trouble, not only do they not help solve it, but they are eager to win it over!" ”
"Although the eldest prince is mediocre, he is assisted by the right minister, although the left minister has not expressed his position at present, but he has repeatedly helped the four princes, it can be seen that he is the person of the four princes, and the general who protects the country...... That's interesting! As he spoke, Qiao Yu's eyes rolled slightly.
Mu Mu looked at the raccoon that suddenly appeared in the corner, and couldn't help laughing, "The day before yesterday, the raccoon just gave birth to a kitten, but its body has not changed in any way, it is still round." ”
"Oh? How many are there? Qiao Yu became interested.
Mu Mu said, "One." ”
"Sure enough, it's not a noble cat, the other cats are a whole litter, and the breed of the flower cat is too bad." Qiao Yu scooped up the raccoon and touched its smoother and smoother fluff in distress.
Mu Mu blinked his eyes and said, "But the kitten looks quite cute." ”
"That's a tanuki." Qiao Yu touched the civet's chin with satisfaction.
Mumu: "......"
After a while, Mu Mu said, "Although, the general who protects the country is a person from His Majesty's side, but is it really instructed by His Majesty?" ”
"The Protector General has not moved much on the surface these days, but in private, he has not seen it." Qiao Yu said, putting the raccoon on his lap and writing something with a pen.
After writing, he blew and handed the paper in his hand to Mumu.
"Later, you will enter the palace for Ben Hou and give this pair of words to my sister."
Mu Mu was puzzled, "Are you reminding Concubine Ruan to stay out of the matter?" ”
"Well, it is already difficult for her to survive in the harem, and the left minister is too ruthless, and she is not suitable for assisting the four princes, but my sister has already acquiesced, and it is inconvenient for her to say anything."
Mu Mu said, "It may have been instigated by the left minister this time." ”
Qiao Yu naturally wanted to believe these words more in his heart.
In the past, Concubine Ruan was gentle and virtuous, sincere and kind, although after entering the palace, there was less gentleness and more majesty, but he still believed that she was still the gentle sister he knew.
Mu Mu still had a conjecture in his heart that he didn't say.
Maybe...... Concubine Ruan wanted to win over Qiao Yu, but she might know Qiao Yu's character and didn't dare to say it, for fear of ruining the relationship between the two.
"In that case, how are you going to deal with General Yu's matter?"
Qiao Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, "Ben Hou promised the lady to find out the real culprit for her, but ...... It would be nice to make the old guy Hule anxious a little longer. ”
Seeing that his marquis showed a fox-like cunning expression, Mu Mu knew that Qiao Yu was going to die in front of his wife again.
