Chapter 269: Lost Soul

() Rong Hua walked into the hall, and Mu Hibiscus stepped forward with a smile and said, "Uncle burned everything, so I asked my family to tell me loudly." ”

In the panic, Li Ligeng would not remember which family member reported the letter.

There was a tea time before and after the two reports, and it had to be calculated before Li Ligeng got into the trap.

This time, Tao Zhengan and the eldest wife lost so completely, and she also had to thank Prince Zhuang, if it wasn't for Prince Zhuang's trouble, Tao Zhengan and the eldest lady would not have been defeated so easily.

Mu Hibiscus said again: "The second aunt and grandmother brought someone from Changningbo's mansion, and when they came to the door, they heard that something happened to the Tao family and went back. ”

Rong Hua smiled.

Yaohua really didn't calculate that Tao Zheng'an had an accident today.

She heard Xue Mingrui say last night that Prince Zhuang would make a move in the next two days, and she was already prepared in her heart. The officers and soldiers were menacing, and Tao Zhengqian dredged it several times, but he couldn't stop the yamen from entering the inner courtyard to search for things. The eldest lady's yard should be searched, but she was afraid that the people in the yamen would rummage around at will, and they would really rush the old lady's filial piety. She thought about it, no matter what, she wanted to save the old lady's face, so she had no choice but to come forward to intercede. But without waiting for her to come forward, the people of the yamen took the initiative to avoid Xiaotang.

Jinxiu came in from the outer courtyard and walked to Rong Hua's side, and said in a low voice, "Gao Yue came back and said that Master Hou is here." ”

Rong Hua raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Master Hou? ”

Jinxiu nodded.

Rong Hua looked outside the courtyard, "Master Hou has entered the mansion?" ”

Jinxiu shook his head, "Gao Yue only said, Master Hou asked me to bring a message to the young lady." Let's just say, Hou Ye is here, let you rest assured, Hou Ye will handle things properly, and will not let the officers and soldiers collide with the young lady. ”

No wonder it's so easy.

Xue Mingrui didn't enter the Tao family when he arrived at the house, but he just guaranteed that she would not be hit by the collision, and he would not interfere in the Tao family's affairs.

He would help her with whatever she did, and he didn't ask her why...... It stands to reason that she is the daughter of the Tao family in the 55ab community, and she must take care of the Tao family no matter what. If you don't know that Tao Zheng'an and the eldest lady killed her, no matter who can't figure out why she did this! Xue Mingrui didn't ask her once, let alone use words to tempt, just let it go, and even reached out to help today. How could someone as smart as Xue Mingrui not see anything? Somehow, the more Xue Mingrui didn't ask, the more guilt she felt in her heart.

Jinxiu said: "Although the second aunt and grandmother did not enter the mansion, the gift to the second old lady was sent early in the morning, and the second old lady interceded in the clan, even if the eldest lady can't take care of these now, she will hear about it when the mansion stabilizes." ”

Rong Hua nodded, turned around and returned to Xiaotang.

The uncle's wife couldn't see her husband come out outside, so she quietly walked to the inner room while everyone was in a mess and called the eldest lady to take medicine.

opened the curtain and saw Li Ligeng squatting in front of the black basin, staring at the ashes in the black basin as if he had been struck by Jiao Lei.

The black basin was full of paper ashes, and one or two sparks were shining with the last faint light, and after a while, they went out with a "poof" and turned into a wisp of green smoke.

In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of taels of borrowed coupons turned into smoke.

The uncle's wife stepped forward and said, "What is the master doing here?" The people in the yamen stopped coming in and searching. ”

Li Ligeng came back to his senses for a while, turned his head and stared at his uncle's wife, the straight gaze made his uncle's wife stunned, Li Ligeng lowered his face, "What are you doing now?" ”

My uncle's wife couldn't come back for a while, so she only asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Li Ligeng thought about it and felt sad, "Why didn't you say it earlier, why didn't you say it earlier, why did I do it earlier," the more he said, the more sad he became.

Li Ligeng was sad here, and the voice of the first chapter of the ant group shouting outside was getting louder and louder, and the uncle was afraid that the eldest lady would die like this, so she hurriedly said, "Go and see your aunt!" ”

Li Ligeng heard this, but refused to move.

The uncle said: "Auntie and grandmother may have something to say, and now Chongzhao can't go forward." ”

Li Ligeng reluctantly glanced at the black pot for the last few times, and turned around and walked out of the room.

The eldest lady lay slumped on the bed, her eyes sometimes open a small slit and sometimes completely closed. The second old lady and the third old lady saw it and called Rong Hua and Wang.

The second old lady said, "Have you invited Lang Zhong?" ”

Wang replied: "I just invited the imperial doctor for the third brother and sister, but I didn't know that the sister-in-law was like this, and the imperial doctor came to see the sister-in-law first." ”

The second old lady sighed, "I'm afraid it's hard to get better." ”

Chen's mother had already cried on the side and told the maid to go and get the medicine again.

The maid also cried and said: "The house is in a mess, the cabinet where the original medicine was put has also been opened, and the pills are scattered and can't tell what is what, and even more are broken, especially those secret medicines are all ordinary people, and they fall to the ground and melt together, so I don't dare to take them at will." ”

Rui Qing remembered that there was still nothing left in the old lady's house. Hurriedly made people turn into a general grain.

Li Ligeng and his wife came out at this time, and saw that the girls standing in private were wiping their tears, and the eldest lady was lying on the bed and clenched, not dead or alive, Li Ligeng was even more distressed by those borrowed coupons, so he cried more sadly than anyone who cried.

Chen's mother gave the medicine to the eldest wife, and everyone just waited for the medicine to work.

After a while, the eldest lady woke up faintly, and saw that everyone was either frightened or pitying, since she ran the house, no one had underestimated her, but in the past few days, she has even endured the cold reception that she has never experienced, and now although the ant group around her is surrounded by people for the first time, they are all watching her jokes.

The eldest lady took a long breath, and her throat itched and coughed.

Li Ligeng cried even harder, "Sister, sister, you have to think about it, my brother-in-law's affairs are not clear, and you still have to support this family." ”

The Tao Mansion was turned over, except for the old lady's yard, the other houses were in a mess, and the few that were lost were broken and broken all over the ground, and the timid maid was so frightened that she cried.

The Tao family is in such a mess, the second old lady, the third old lady and the uncle are also difficult to preside over the overall situation, but the two brothers Tao Zhengqian and Tao Zhengchuan are called in front of them to ask a few words, and the third old lady said: "We can't help if we stay here and we have to take care of you, so we will go back, but there is an old lady's funeral that still needs to be done properly." ”

Wang responded.

After sending off a few elders, Rong Hua and Wang went to see the eldest lady again, and the eldest lady was asking Li Chongzhao to go out to inquire about the news of the eldest master.

Li Chongzhao agreed.

The uncle's wife hurriedly took out the silver ticket from her arms and gave it to Li Chongzhao, "Don't be afraid of spending money." ”

Li Chongzhao happily accepted the silver ticket, but he wanted to pretend to be an old man, and coaxed the eldest lady sweetly, "Auntie, don't worry, I will definitely ask clearly." ”

The eldest lady struggled to go back to the yard where she lived, and Chen's mother comforted: "Mrs. rest, don't worry about anything else yet, the house is cleaning up, and when it is cleaned up, let people pick up Mrs. and go back." ”

In addition to the furniture and bedding in the room, the porcelain vase ornaments were all in pieces, and all kinds of materials in the cabinet were scattered everywhere, and she almost fainted when she saw it.

The second wife, Wang, also comforted, "Uncle has no news yet, and there can't be any more chaos on my sister-in-law's side." ”

The eldest lady had no strength to speak again, so she could only sink her head.

The imperial doctor saw the eldest lady and the third wife, Liao Ant Group, and the first time Zhang Zhang came outside, and said to everyone: "The eldest lady's pulse is thin and weak, I am afraid it is not a minor illness, if it is not properly maintained, it will be a big deal." ”

Although they had a calculation in their hearts, everyone was still shocked.

The imperial doctor said: "I'll prescribe a prescription for the time being, I just hope that the medicine stone will be effective, and it will slowly get better, and then I will make a warm supplement in winter, maybe it will be safe." ”

What this means is that the eldest lady can survive the winter before there is a turnaround.

After talking about the eldest wife, the imperial doctor said: "The third wife is fine, but from now on, don't overwork, it's best to rest for a while to have a safe baby." ”

Tao Zhengchuan hurriedly said: "I bother you to write a prescription, and what you explain will definitely be followed." ”

The imperial doctor said, "That's good." ”

The imperial doctor prescribed a prescription and came out, and Wang handed it over to the girl to grab the medicine separately.

Tao Zhengchuan explained again and again, "Don't get confused, the eldest wife's is tormented in the big kitchen, and the third wife's is a temporary small kitchen in the yard," said and asked people to call the third wife's personal maid Mingyue, and instructed the next person, "Grab the medicine or give it directly to Mingyue to decoction." ”

The second wife, Wang, looked at Tao Zhengchuan's nervous appearance, "Don't worry, I will arrange to keep an eye on it, I can't make a mistake." ”

After sending the imperial doctor away, the person sent by Tao Zhengqian to inquire also came back to report, "Not only did the eldest master be arrested, but several officials and masters were taken away by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I heard that there was also a righteous marquis." ”

Righteous Marquis Zhao Xin? Tao Zhengqian's face changed, he had also heard of many things that Tao Zhengan had done with Zhao Xin over the years, and there must be a big crime of greed for ink, I don't know if there will be anything else.

After sending away the subordinates, Tao Zhengqian and Tao Zhengchuan glanced at each other.

Tao Zhengqian is a small official or a foreign official, he has no acquaintances in Beijing and can't speak, Tao Zhengchuan has no fame, the two of them are helpless now, the first time chapter of the ant group At this juncture, I still have to ask Hou Ye to see if Hou Ye can come up with a good way.

Tao Zhengqian thought for a while and looked at Rong Hua, "Could it be related to Gu Ying?" "Gu Ying accused Tao Zhengan of being greedy for ink in prison before.

Rong Hua nodded and agreed with Tao Zhengqian's statement, "I and Hou Ye also persuaded my father before, Gu Ying's case is probably a big trouble, even if Hou Ye intercedes with his father, he may not be able to get out, Hou Ye means to let his father take a step back to avoid trouble, who knows that his father will not ......"

Tao Zhengchuan also frowned, "The eldest brother married Yaohua to Chang Ningbo's mansion, do you want to ask Chang Ningbo for help?" ”

Rong Hua looked embarrassed, but didn't speak.

Tao Zhengqian had also heard about this earlier, "Yaohua married Changningbo Mansion and never came back, where is Changningbo Mansion to manage?" Now that the eldest brother has been arrested, Yaohua has no news. After a pause, "If you want to help, why wait until today." ”

At this time, the Wang family brought tea into the house and glanced at Tao Zhengqian, "Sister-in-law is still waiting for Yaohua to come back, let me send someone to tell Yaohua about the family, now that the elders of the clan have left, Yaohua should also come back and kowtow to the old lady." ”

Tao Zhengqian sneered: "The whole capital knows about it, will she not know?" If you don't come back now, you can imagine that you have to hide. ”
