Chapter Thirty-Six: Wisdom and Courage in Times of Crisis
After hearing this, An Yu only clenched the handkerchief in her hand, took a breath, and asked calmly: "But I heard, are you asking me who I want?" β
The little girl thought for a while and said, "It was said that Princess Qi's niece was detained by the girl." β
An Yu frowned and asked, "Who is here?" β
The little girl replied: "Princess Qi, and the second brother Mu Feitong." β
An Yu nodded: "Just these two people, is there no one else?" β
The little girl shook her head: "No, there are more than fifty palace guards." β
An Yu lowered her eyes, thought to herself for a moment, turned her head and said in a low voice with Biguo: "You go, go to the grandfather, say that the Qi Wangfu is not good, and it is useless to make peace now, even if the Qi Wangfu releases us now, if it really happens in the future, we will definitely hate what we are doing now, it is better to go to the emperor immediately, take the opportunity to speak, save trouble in the future, I will delay the time, and ask my father to make a decision as soon as possible." β
Biguo listened and ran out of the Tingxiao Pavilion.
An Yu raised her voice and said to Bixia: "Bixia, no matter what happens, keep watch in the house, don't come out." β
Bixia responded on the side, and An Yu followed the little girl with confidence.
In Wanshou Hall, only the county lord of Yanning and Princess Qi and Mu Feitong did not see the shadow of Mrs. Kang.
That Mu Feitong looks like eighteen or nineteen, a bookish anger, a peaceful face and not hidden attention, such a person is very common, but such a person will often do something unexpected.
For example, Bai Lingge in his outer room is still working undercover in the Wind and Snow Pavilion, such a beautiful woman with first-class kung fu will kill people for him, which shows that this person is not simple.
As soon as An Yu entered the door of the middle hall of Wanshou Hall, before she could salute the lord of Yanning County, Mu Feitong stood up and said with a sad face: "I have known my cousin since childhood, although she was born as a concubine and has a low status, and she can't be compared with the daughter of the princess, but for the sake of my old relationship with her, I just want her to be a concubine after you and I get married, isn't that okay?" β
The county lord of Yanning sat on the right seat and sighed, but did not speak.
An Yu ignored Mu Feitong's words, she looked at the county lord of Yanning, and had a doubt in her heart: The affairs of the Qi Wangfu and the thoughts of the Duke of Fuguo, the county lord of Yanning is not clear, do you know?
Seeing that An Yu didn't speak, Princess Naqi wiped her tears with a silk: "Third girl, you are also from a concubine, if you don't rely on the glory of the mansion, you may not be able to marry into a high-ranking family as the wife of the main house, and you are also a concubine, why can't you be more tolerant of my niece?" β
The county lord of Yanning frowned and looked at An Yu, and said coldly: "Girl, give them people and end this matter early, it's better than being embarrassed here." β
An Yu's eyebrows moved slightly: It seems that the county lord of Yanning is not very clear.
She turned her head to look at Mu Feitong and Princess Qi, smiled, and asked, "Seeing that Princess Qi is so sad, I thought that Princess Qi's sister had become someone else's concubine." β
Princess Qi was stunned for a moment, did not speak, and cried louder.
An Yu continued: "Originally, the princess was born noble, and the sisters must be not badly married, so they can't be concubines for others, and the real niece shouldn't be a concubine." β
Mu Feitong hurriedly said: "Third girl, I miss my cousin in my heart, the third girl is good, return my cousin to me, if you keep holding on, I'm afraid that the reputation of the third girl is jealous, it's not good." β
An Yu frowned and said coldly: "What kind of jealousy, why should I be jealous, I'm not your daughter-in-law, am I jealous if I hold your cousin?" β
Princess Qi stood up, grabbed An Yu's hand, and cried: "Third girl, you let my niece go, so that I can give my sister's maiden family an explanation." β
An Yu shook off Princess Qi's hand and asked, "Let me ask you, is that an outer room, or a cousin!" β
Lord Yanning stood up, frowned and asked, "What outer room?" β
Seeing that the county lord of Yanning stood up, An Yu quickly knelt down, took off the damaged outer robe, raised her head and said, "Grandmother Mingcha, this outer chamber of Mu Gongzi wants to kill me!" is so sincere, it is really moving, if it is an outer room, if I want to marry it, it will be like entering the pit of tigers and wolves, if it is a cousin, it is better to let Mu Gongzi marry directly as a wife. β
After hearing this, the county lord of Yanning stretched out his hand and looked through An Yu's robe.
At this time, Mrs. Kang, who did not appear in Wanshoutang, had already gone to the study of Fu Guogong.
As soon as Mrs. Kang stepped into the door of the study, Fu Guogong pulled Mrs. Kang in and locked the door.
Fu Guogong said bitterly: "Madam, our family is in great trouble! Qi Wangfu came to the door today to ask for someone, and the little guy in the front yard said that he brought more than 50 guards, there is no practice in our house, if Qi Wangfu wants to do something, those families can't stop it, they have to go to Jingzhao Mansion to invite officers and soldiers to come! β
When Mrs. Kang heard this, her face turned pale, and she hurriedly asked, "Qi Wangfu, you are so dignified, why did you bring the guards to our mansion?" β
Fu Guogong hurriedly said: "Now is not the time to talk about this, what matters is that you have to go to your uncle to ask for officers and soldiers, and you have to bother your wife to go." β
Mrs. Kang frowned: "This matter is urgent, I ...... I went out with a woman's family, what if I was stopped by the guards brought by the Qi Palace? β
Before Fu Guogong could speak, he heard someone shouting at the door that the second son was coming.
Na An Cong shouted outside: "FatherβFather, I have something to ask!" β
Fu Guogong sighed anxiously, turned around and opened the door for An Cong.
As soon as An Cong saw the door open, he knelt on the ground, hugged his fists and said: "Father, I saw that the Qi Wangfu brought more than fifty guards to our house, thinking that something must have happened at home, and I must go to my uncle to ask for officers and soldiers, father, I ...... I want to go! β
Fu Guogong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly helped An Cong up: "Good boy, you have solved the urgent need of being a father, if you can, are you willing to take another person to the palace?" β
An Cong frowned, then nodded and said, "As long as it can help the family get out of danger, I am willing to do it!" β
Fu Guogong nodded: "Okay, okay, you follow me to the inner prison." β
Mrs. Kang listened in the rain and fog on the side, and reached out and grabbed Fu Guogong's sleeve: "Grandpa, who is locked up in the inner prison?" I heard that Princess Qi came to the palace to ask for her niece, and the one who was locked up in the inner prison was the niece, if this is the case, let the person go quickly, wouldn't everything be fine! β
Fu Guogong shook off Mrs. Kang's hand and said hurriedly: "Don't meddle in these things if you are a woman." β
After speaking, Fu Guogong pulled An Cong and walked to the inner prison, and said as he walked: "Those guards are in the front yard, presumably the east corner gate and the west corner gate are also guarded by their people, and now the only thing left is the dog hole in the backyard, you ......"
An Cong Zhengse said: "Father, don't worry, no matter where I go out, I will definitely bring people to the palace, and I will also go to Jingzhao Mansion to find my uncle for help." β
Fu Guogong took a breath and said, "Okay, this is very dangerous, you can be careful in everything, or change your outfit, or pretend to be a pawn of a peddler." β
Speaking of this, Fu Guogong ripped off the jade pendant on his waist and handed it to An Cong, and said, "You take the jade pendant and show it to the guards in front of the palace gate, they will definitely let you in." β
An Cong nodded: "Don't worry, father!" It's just that I still ask my father to agree to something. β
Fu Guogong hurriedly said: "Say it quickly, if your father can agree, you must agree." β
An Cong frowned and said: "The fourth sister is still kneeling at the East Corner Gate, and now it seems that after a while, my uncle will come with officers and soldiers, and it will inevitably be a fight, and the fourth sister will ......."
Fu Guogong nodded and said, "Yes, I quickly asked An Wan to take An Wan to your mother's Qingfeng Pavilion and stay with her second sister." β
After An Cong heard this, he nodded reassuringly.
Mrs. Kang, who was still in the study, stretched out her hand and called a small servant: "Go, call the eldest brother and grandmother to me, I think this is the case, the front yard may have a fight later." β
The little guy nodded, and hurriedly ran to the east side of the road.
In Wanshou Hall, after the county lord of Yanning looked at An Yu's robe, he said calmly: "Princess Niangniang, your niece seems to want my granddaughter's life." β
Princess Qi snorted, still shedding tears, and only choked up and said: "She only did such a stupid thing because she had our second brother in her heart, but the third girl didn't break the oil skin a little bit, how can it be said that if you detain people, you should detain them, even if you really want to theorize, you should go to Shuntian Mansion to theorize." β
An Yu was still kneeling, but her body was very straight, and she was disgusted by Princess Qi's miserable statement, and couldn't help laughing: "How can you get the cards of the Qi Palace, we should go to the emperor to theorize." β
When Mu Feitong heard this, he couldn't help frowning when he looked at An Yu.
An Yu was flustered by Mu Feitong's staring, and hurriedly lowered her head.
Mu Feitong hurriedly smiled and said: "Where is the third girl, this little thing is originally something that the two of us can say clearly, what is Shuntianfu and not Tianfu, it will not be like this." Why don't you bring my cousin out first, let's make it clear together, and let my cousin give the third girl a good company, how about it? β
After hearing this, the county lord of Yanning nodded slowly and looked at An Yu: "Where are you locking people, let's bring them out first." β
An Yu bit her lip, knowing that she shouldn't have said the words "go to the emperor to theorize", which aroused Mu Feitong's suspicions.
She didn't rush to defend herself with Mu Feitong again, she only took her clothes and slowly hugged them in her arms, choked up and said: "Although I am only talking about marriage with my second brother, I cherish this marriage very much in my heart, and I only hope to marry into the palace as soon as possible, be reconciled with my second brother's husband and wife, and honor my in-laws, but your cousin can't help but say, you want my life when you come up, and the second brother is now talking about all cousins, and there is no place for me, it seems that this kiss is not interesting." β
Speaking of this, An Yu stretched out her hand and grabbed the robe of the county lord of Yanning: "Grandmother, today you can either draw a line with the Qi Palace, or detain the second brother's cousin until the day I and the second brother get married, the two can only choose one, and we can't let others bully our mansion casually." β
The county lord of Yanning said angrily: "This family matter has not been completely decided, and you actually said such shameless words!" β
That Mu Feitong never expected that An Yu was a master who was soft and hard and could quibble, looking at this attitude of not bringing people out, presumably Fu Guogong was already firmly on the emperor's side.
Thinking like this, Mu Feitong felt that he couldn't delay any longer, and he had to make a quick decision, so he turned around and pointed to a few old mothers brought by Princess Qi in the courtyard, and shouted: "Go and tell the guards of the palace to search for me, turn the Guogong Mansion upside down, and find out the people for me!" β
