Chapter 673: Whistleblowing
"Gone, gone."
The yacha began to drive away the Li family.
In the past two days, it has rained every day, the road is muddy and difficult to walk, and coupled with the strong winds for several days, people like Li Changyan who have been practicing boxing and foot kung fu all year round have become a little unbearable.
Song Chengxuan seemed to deliberately toss them, did not give them time to rest, and drove them all the way.
The housekeeper of the Li family finally couldn't help it and found Ma Zheng to intercede.
"Our eldest lady is a little uncomfortable," the Li family bowed and said, "See if we can walk slowly." ”
The imperial court had an order to arrest Li Changyan and Li Mao, and did not mention how to deal with the daughters of the Li family.
Ma Zheng looked serious: "Are you going to follow the prisoner car together, and you can't bear it after a few days?" Where do you have the court? Let your Li family do whatever they want? ”
The steward of the Li family was scolded, and he didn't dare to say anything more, so he could only bow his head and apologize.
Xu Qinghuan lowered the curtain of the carriage.
Mrs. Li's reputation for being virtuous is outside, no matter what happens, she has to advance and retreat with Li Changyan, every time Li Xu is difficult outside, Mrs. Li has to lecture her, let her advance and retreat with the Li family, don't hide her selfishness in her heart, it is nothing more than to let her use the favors of the Marquis of Anyi's mansion.
Xu Qinghuan still remembers the bitter words of Mother Li's mother.
Now that something has happened to the Li family, Mrs. Li's behavior seems to be not as good as she said in her previous life, and she has only followed the prisoner car for a few days, and she began to want to leave the escort team under the pretext that she is not in good health.
At this time, shouldn't husband and wife be one? Li Changyan is still suffering outside, how can Mrs. Li be willing to leave.
"Let's go!" Xu Qinghuan put down the curtain and continued to lean on the pillow to read, in her previous life, Mrs. Li's health was not good, and she often had to serve in the house.
Later, she became more and more sick, and Mrs. Li was still like that, and her illness was not serious but not better.
The Li family may have underestimated Mrs. Li's body.
In the previous life, the Li family's husband and wife were affectionate, mother and son were filial, but now it is even more false in her eyes.
……
Grandma Song's carriage sped up, and the Li family's carriage had to keep up.
The housekeeper of the Li family held Mrs. Li in the car: "How is the eldest lady?" ”
Mrs. Li shook her hand.
"If not, the slave will talk about it again."
Mrs. Li pursed her lips before saying, "Didn't Grandma Song also walk in front?" She didn't rest, and it would be humiliating for us to talk about it again. ”
"Then what's the same," said the housekeeper's mother, "you are not in good health, you were frightened before, and there is nothing in our carriage, Grandma Song uses soft cushions, and there are thick curtains in the carriage, even if the wind is strong, it can't penetrate it." ”
These are the little things.
Mrs. Li always felt that Grandma Song was testing her.
Not to mention.
"How can we compare with Grandma Song, the master is now being escorted to Beijing for interrogation, we are the family members of the criminals, but Grandma Song is different, the Governor of Song is an upstart in the imperial court, high in the ......" Mrs. Li felt a pain in her heart when she thought of this, and the figure of Prince Jian appeared in her mind, and her mouth was full of bitterness.
The prince died at the hands of Song Chengxuan, every time she thought of this, her heart was like a knife, and she couldn't avenge the prince, but Song Chengxuan and Xu Qinghuan were too difficult to deal with, and they didn't give her any respite, she needed to be careful everywhere to avoid this catastrophe.
"The Governor of Song clearly said that he would hand us over to the Taiyuan Mansion when he got the documents from the Taiyuan Prefect, but ...... The paperwork has obviously arrived, but he still pretends not to see it," the housekeeper's mother kept saying, "The ninth master has not shown up, he should be running around for the eldest master and you, pity the ninth master......"
The housekeeper's mother's words reached Mrs. Li's ears.
Xu'er hasn't kept up, is she afraid that Song Chengxuan will find out something? Or think about it differently.
Before the old man was arrested, Xu'er never got off the horse, she thought about it carefully, Xu'er was on guard everywhere, because she was afraid that Song Chengxuan would suddenly attack.
In other words, her previous guess was correct, Xu'er already knew everything, and he had to attack Mrs. Gao in order to hide the secret.
Xu'er chose to accept her identity, so what's next? He was going to take over the people that the prince had left in the north.
For some reason, Mrs. Li had a feeling of being hollowed out.
When Li Xu came to the north, everyone naturally had to put Li Xu first, and she became no longer so important, and if Li Xu was endangered, she would also be the second Gao Jiansong.
Mrs. Li was frightened by her own thoughts.
No, their mother and son are related there, and Xu'er is a filial child, and she will never do that.
There must be something else hidden in Mrs. Gao's incident.
Mrs. Li clenched her handkerchief and whispered to the steward, "Don't say anything more." "There is no recurrence of such a situation.
The sun was about to set before the team stopped again.
Mrs. Li was helped out of the car, struggling to see Li Changyan, just got out of the car, Mrs. Li's eyes just fell on the crowd, and suddenly found a familiar figure.
The man was dressed in coarse cloth clothes, dressed as a rough daughter-in-law, and was helping to move the things in Grandma Song's car.
Mrs. Li was stunned there, wanting to see the daughter-in-law clearly, but the daughter-in-law turned around and walked towards the post house.
"What's wrong with you, ma'am?" The housekeeper's mother immediately asked.
Mrs. Li came back to her senses at this time: "Why is there suddenly a lot of manpower?" ”
The housekeeper's mother said: "It should be the post man who came to help, we passed by the post house like this, and my wife was so worried that I didn't pay attention to it before." ”
It wasn't that she didn't pay attention, but she didn't see the face.
"I'll go see the master." Mrs. Li turned her head to look for Li Changyan.
Li Changyan and Li Mao's father and son were covered in loess, their faces had already been blown by the wind, their hair was messy, and they looked embarrassed.
Mrs. Li was busy and asked people to find a cloth towel and scrub it for Li Changyan.
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Changyan drank some water before speaking hoarsely.
"Master bear with me a little longer, and it will be good to get to the Yamen in Beijing."
Li Changyan didn't think so, he was involved in a rebellion case, I don't know why the court would think that he was King Jian's party, and what Gao Jiansong said.
Li Changyan refused to speak again, leaning against the room to rest.
"Let's go!" The yacha came to drive Mrs. Li away.
Mrs. Li couldn't help but be surprised, when she went to the post house before, she was with Li Changyan and Li Mao, why did she take her away today, she remembered the face she had just seen, and her heart was even more puzzled.
"Still stunned for what to do."
Mrs. Li stood up at the urging of the yacha, and then walked out slowly, stepping out of the room and looking around, but she did not see the familiar figure.
……
Li Changyan fell asleep in a daze, and suddenly heard someone call his name: "Master, master, wake up." ”
Li Changyan opened his eyes and saw a face that made him familiar.
"Qing'e."
Li Changyan was stunned: "Aren't you already dead?" Could it be me...... I ...... too."
"Shh," the woman immediately stopped Li Changyan, "Master, the slave and maid are not dead, the slave and maid just fled for their lives, and when I heard that the master was in trouble, the slave and maid followed."
The old man was implicated and imprisoned because of the tall man...... But the slave knew that the master was wronged, because the letter of the tall man was not written to the master, but to the wife. ”
