Chapter 24: Homecoming

Zhu Mei only remembered following that stupid cousin to an alley, and the people around her suddenly disappeared, and she lost consciousness as soon as it was dark in front of her eyes.

It's my own carelessness.

Zhu Mei thought to herself, after all, she was the concubine of the British duke, and there were many people who wanted to fight her own ideas, and in order to trick Zhu Ying out of the house, she had very few guards with her, and she didn't have anyone around when she was pulled into the alley by that stupid girl.

After all, who would have thought that someone would dare to commit a crime near the mansion of the prefect of Huizhou?

It's really that her identity is too precious, thinking about it like this, she has some regrets in her heart, the son of a daughter can't sit down, in order to deceive such a stupid person, he actually went out in person, in fact, he could find a servant woman by his mother's side to do this.

It's just that she really wants to watch the scene where the slut who doesn't know the height of the sky falls from the clouds and is killed on the spot for offending the princess.

It's disgusting that such an idiot actually thinks about the best son in Huizhou.

That marriage belonged to the Duan family and the concubine of the British government.

And now, she is the concubine of the British government.

That idiot was just a notorious wicked girl whose parents were dead.

Thinking of her identity and fame, her heart suddenly jumped.

Could it be that someone is jealous of his identity and expects that the marriage with the Duan family may fall on him, so he designs to ruin his reputation?

After all, in the whole of Huizhou, there are too many noble daughters who covet the Duan family's marriage.

She listened intently, and there was no sound around her except the howling of the wind.

Zhu Mei plucked up her courage and shouted, "Who is making trouble? Do you know who I am!? ”

It's quiet in the alley. Only the echo of her own question echoed through the alley.

Rao is that she was not alarmed by herself, and her heartbeat became faster and faster because of fear.

"I'm an English princess! No matter who you are, I advise you to stop it quickly, otherwise my father will never let you go, and you don't want to harm your family, right? She asked nervously.

The alley was still quiet.

"If you're in it for money, it's all right, how much does your employer give you? What I have at home is money, as long as you let me go, the British government will give you double! The quiet atmosphere around her became more and more depressing, and Zhu Mei's whole body trembled.

However, no matter how much she coerced and seduced, there was no reaction around her.

Zhu Mei trembled, angry, scared and tired, and the whole person was about to faint.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of chaotic footsteps outside.

"Report to your Excellency! There are pieces of clothes and rope at the mouth of this alley! ”

"Let's go inside!"

A group of servants and catchers with torches poured into the narrow alleys.

Under the light of the fire, Miss Zhu Qi, who fell to the ground, had messy hair, tattered clothes, tears on her face, and no dignity of the noble daughter of the family. Shouting into the depths of the empty alley, you can vaguely hear words like "British government, punish your nine clans, money".

The arrester standing in front was a little puzzled, he received a report that the concubine of the British Duke was missing, asked them to visit secretly, and gave them a portrait of Miss Zhu Qi.

It was hard for him to make the connection between the elegant woman in the portrait and the frightened woman on the ground.

At this time, the families and servants of the British Mansion who were running around the streets saw the gathering of the catchers, and they quickly poured into this alley, and the originally narrow alley was overcrowded for a while.

"Miss! Miss! Thank God! Man found! ”

Miss Zhu Qi's nurse, who finally squeezed out of the crowd, recognized the clothes Miss Zhu Qi was wearing, and cried like a child.

"Mother Liu! Is it Mother Liu? Help me! Help me! Someone is trying to hurt me! Miss Zhu Qi, who was highly nervous, heard the voice of her nurse and immediately shouted.

"It's me, it's me, who killed a thousand knives did it! Why don't you thunder and split! Liu's mother trembled angrily.

"Killed...... See ...... Kill them all......" There were more and more people in the alley, and the air was extremely turbid for a while, Miss Zhu Qi said this sentence tremblingly, and fainted softly again.

Everyone present changed color when they heard this, and some people standing on the periphery secretly ran away.

Mother Liu looked at the young lady who fell to the ground and was shocked, and she didn't have time to care what she said, so she quickly asked the servant to cover Miss Zhu Qi with a windbreaker and carry her into the carriage of the British Mansion.

……

……

British Mansion.

On the wide main hall was a chair with a sliding black tiger stripe fur jacket, and on top of it sat a middle-aged man in brocade clothes, with an irritable expression and a short beard under his chin.

British Gong Zhu Kuan shouted to his wife who was crying non-stop, "What are you crying about, aren't everyone getting back!" ”

Li's eyes were red and he couldn't stop crying, "But so many people saw Mei'er like that at that time......"

Zhu Kuan was in the prime of life, but his body bones were a little rickety, his eyes were cloudy, his cheeks were yellow, and he looked overly drunk, and said impatiently, "Those servants and servants are easy to deal with, but the arrest and the servants are all officials, how can you say that they will be eliminated!" ”

"You can't even handle this little thing as an Englishman! Mei'er is your only daughter! "The Li family is unrelenting.

"Got it! I'll figure it out! But what do you do with Mei'er? How did you end up in that kind of place? Zhu Kuan frowned and glared at Li.

Li wiped his tears and said, "It's not because of that little slut!" Mei'er kindly let her out, but she ate inside and outside and plotted against Mei'er with indiscreet people! ”

"Who do you say is plotting against whom?" Suddenly, there was a loud question outside the door.

The old lady Bai crossed the threshold with a dragon head crutch. Zhu Luan obediently followed behind him.

"You! There is still a face...... Li Shi saw Zhu Luan, his eyes were blood-red and he stood up, and he was about to have a seizure, when he suddenly remembered his identity as a "good aunt", and swallowed the second half of the sentence hard.

"Grandmother." Zhu Kuan stood up and saluted Old Lady Bai.

Bai Lao Taijun sat on the main seat and said, "I have found out, it was the seven girls who took the key to open the door of Shou'an Hall without authorization, and the nine girls hijacked her out of the gate, and then in the alley outside the Song Mansion, the nine girls said that they were talking to the seven girls, a gust of wind blew, and a vague figure passed by her, and then the seven girls disappeared, she later went up the mountain to meet the princess of Jinyang, and then we also saw it, she just came back from the Lingyan Temple, and said that she and the princess hit it off at first sight, and talked for an afternoon, and the princess can testify. ”

And Princess Jinyang hit it off at first sight?

Everyone present changed color one after another, and their expressions were ghostly.

Li's face was a little pale, and he only felt that since this dead girl survived the fire, there was something strange everywhere.

How could she hit it off with Princess Jinyang at first sight?

Is she really Zhu Ying?

Fools raised by their own hands?

Li has been smooth sailing for so many years, and the entire British government has been held in the palm of her hand, and it is the first time that she has encountered such a big difference from her own ideas.

"You're lying!"

She didn't control herself for a moment, and squeezed the words out between her teeth.
