Chapter 3: Escape from the Wolf's Den 1

"This fire, there must be an explanation!" Seeing that Yan Chengzhi ignored him, Yan Chengqing shouted again, Yan Chengzhi turned around violently, raised his hand and pointed at Yan Chengqing and said angrily: "Who sneaked into Rongxuan Hall the night before yesterday?" The thief shouted to catch the thief......"

"Fart! You didn't sneak in, how did you see me? You lock the door, the key is in your hand!" Yan Chengqing's face was red and angry, and he jumped to his feet and shouted, Yan Chengzhi was angry, and was about to continue to scold, but he saw a mother-in-law rushing over in the direction of the front yard, and he gasped and reported without waiting to stand firmly: "Master Hou, the official of the government Guo is here, saying that he wants to ask about the water at night, and Mrs. Hou Shizi of Qingjiang came to the door to offer condolences and has already entered the mourning hall." Yan Chengzhi's face changed slightly, stared at Yan Chengqing fiercely, and suppressed his anger and said, "That Nizi...... The niece of the Li family turned into ashes in Ruiyun Pavilion last night, this is the most important thing! Why did the Qingjiang Marquis Mansion come to mourn so early? Haven't you been here before? Don't cry! Why don't you hurry to the mourning hall!"

Yan Chengzhi's last sentence was yelled at Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Sun trembled, and hurriedly helped her mother-in-law to cry in the mourning hall, and the second wife, Zheng, shook the handkerchief and followed Mrs. Sun leisurely.

"Don't worry, it's a big deal." Yan Chengqing cleared his throat, patted his shirt with his sleeve, and let Yan Chengzhi unnaturally, Yan Chengzhi said 'um', strode forward with his hands behind his back, and Yan Chengqing also followed closely behind with his hands behind his back.

The mother-in-law who came to report the news lowered her head with her hands down, her eyes slanted up from the corner of her eyes, and she glanced at the backs of Yan Chengzhi and the two of them with disdain, and when the two of them walked away, she let out a soft 'bah' and trotted back in the direction of the mourning hall to see the excitement.

On both sides of the mourning hall, a small hall for hospitality is separated by curtains, and a chair is placed against the wall.

Mrs. Xu is thirty-four or five years old, gentle and elegant, she is the girl of the Lening Xu family, the Lening Xu family and Mrs. Lin's mother's family, the Lin family of the Nanning County Wangfu are both world friends and in-laws, although the Jiang family, the princess of Nanning County, does not look down on the Qingjiang Hou Mansion, but she likes Mrs. Xu very much, and often invites her to play and talk with her only daughter Yu Yaofang, Li Tian is a frequent visitor to the Nanning County Palace, and he also met Yu Yaofang and became a close friend.

Yu Yaofang is fourteen years old this year, with willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, a slender figure, a moon-white silk dress, and a beautiful bamboo pole, she can't sit still in a hurry at this time, standing in the middle of the side hall, frowning, eagerly stretching her neck to look at the door, Mrs. Xu gently turned her head and called her: "Come back and sit, it's still early." ”

"If Ake dares to be late this time, I'll spare ...... I'll ignore her again!" Yu Yaofang didn't answer her mother's words, turned around and took two steps back, and stomped her feet at Li Tian and said hurriedly. A Ke's name is Lin Ke, she is the old daughter of Princess Jiang County who is nearly forty years old and born, she is delicate and beautiful, lively and lovely, and is the pearl of the palace of Nanning County.

"Sister, don't worry," Li Tian stood up, stretched out his hand to pull Yu Yaofang, sent her to Mrs. Xu's right, pushed her to sit down, and said with a quiet expression: "She has to prepare at that end, it's still early now, sister, drink tea." ”

Mrs. Xu looked appreciatively at Li Tian, who was described as haggard but calm and calm as a deep valley orchid, and praised: "Sister Tian is worthy of being taught by Mrs. Lin, this kind of bearing makes people love when they see it, Yaoyao wants to have half of you......" Before she finished speaking, she heard a burst of eager and chaotic footsteps at the door, with bursts of sobbing in between.

"It's my aunts and uncles here." Li Tian said in a low voice, showing a trace of fear on his face, and subconsciously leaned over to Mrs. Xu's side, Yu Yaofang jumped up all of a sudden, and took Li Tian's hand to protect her.

Mrs. Sun cried loudly before entering the door, she was the mourner, she was crying and speechless according to the rules, the second wife Zheng took the responsibility of protecting the funeral, and while sobbing and bent her knees at Mrs. Xu to thank her: "The Yan family suffered this disaster, and the ......" just said half a sentence of answer, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Li Tian standing beside Mrs. Xu, and the words behind her were gone, staring straight at Li Tian, as if she had been immobilized.

Mrs. Sun also forgot to cry, stared at Li Tian, her two eyes became wider and wider, she suddenly raised her hand and hugged her head, and screamed sadly: "Ghost! Ghosts! Not me!" As he screamed, his throat 'gurgled' in fear, and he took several steps back.

Mrs. Xu looked at the two of them in disbelief, and after a while, she turned her head stiffly to look at Li Tian, who was shaking and pulling Yu Yaofang, Yaoyao told her that Uncle Yan wanted to kill Li Tian to make money, and she still felt that Li Tian was thinking too much, what kind of thing did people do? However, I couldn't be entangled by Yaoyao, so I had to rush over early in the morning with Yaoyao, it turned out that ...... It's true!

Mrs. Xu stood up suddenly, hugged Li Tian in her arms and cried: "My son! I still...... This is...... How vicious!"

"Madam," Li Tian lay in Mrs. Xu's arms, thinking of her grandmother, she was sad, and cried bitterly, Mrs. Zheng Er was in a trance first, her body collapsed to the ground, her hands slapped the ground and cried, Mrs. Sun was really sad this time, and while crying, she pushed the mother-in-law next to her and said: "Go and tell the master, Mrs. Li is not dead, she is not dead, she is not dead!"

In the hospitality hall of the outer courtyard, Yan Chengzhi squeezed out a tear from the corner of his eyes on both sides, and was grieving with Guo Tuiguan, who was in charge of fire prevention and theft in charge of the Beijing Mansion: "...... How can I explain this to the Yongguo Mansion? Pity my niece and daughter......"

"Master, master!" The mother-in-law rushed in and shouted, "Cousin, Mrs. Li, you're not dead!" is still alive, Mrs. Li, she is not dead!"

"Impossible!" The second master Yan Chengqing jumped up all of a sudden, screamed loudly, Yan Chengzhi's face turned pale instantly, stared at Guo Tuiguan, his fingers trembled and couldn't stop, Guo Tuiguan's eyes shrank, he had been in charge of the security of the Beijing division for several years, he had seen too many things like a mirror in his heart, he stood up and arched his hand: "This matter of going to the water, it's not that it is not inaccommodating, it is really a strict law of the imperial court, fortunately, the fire in your mansion has not harmed other families, and it is just a reprimand, and it will be punished for a few more years, such a big fire......" Guo Tuiguan dragged out his voice and laughed a few times, The words continued: "Can't hide it! In the past two days, I also asked the Hou Ye to take a trip to the mansion, so I won't bother you and say goodbye!"

Guo Tuiguan turned around and left, Yan Chengzhi's face was blue and uncertain, he hurriedly followed, took out a few silver tickets from his arms, forced a smile and stuffed them into Guo Tuiguan's hand, Guo Tuiguan pushed and said, "What does Hou Ye mean by this?" Never, never!" Yan Chengzhi could push Guo Tuiguan, who was born as a military general, and was pushed back several steps by Guo Tuiguan, and before he could catch up again, Guo Tuiguan had already strode out of the door.

Guo Tuiguan got on the horse, didn't walk a few steps, and saw the car of the Nanning County Wangfu turn into the alley, Guo Tuiguan hurriedly turned the horse to the side, saw that the car almost didn't stop, and drove straight into the second gate of the Hou Mansion, Guo Tuiguan touched his shaved blue chin and thought about it, beckoned a henchman to catch the fast and whispered: "See if the car of the Nanning County Wangfu is there, look at the excitement." Catching a quick nodding knowingly, Guo Tuiguan turned around, looked at the still majestic Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and sighed secretly, as soon as Mrs. Lin died, this Ningyuan Marquis Mansion was defeated.

"Ake!" Yu Yaofang saw Lin Ke come in, and hurriedly shouted to go out, Lin Ke heard Yu Yaofang's call, and hurriedly shook off the hand of her mother, Princess Jiang Jun, and ran over with her skirt, Princess Jiang Jun was helpless in love, looked at her daughter and shook her head, went straight to Mrs. Lin's spirit to offer incense, took half a step back, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully three times, Mrs. Lin is the aunt of the princess of Nanning County, she is gone, and the older generation of the Lin family will leave without a left.

Mrs. Xu watched her salute, and then stepped forward to salute and speak, Mrs. Sun timidly shrunk her neck, not going forward but retreating, and Mrs. Zheng also shrank next to her and didn't dare to say a word, except for Mrs. Lin, what they were most afraid of was this noble princess of the county, and Princess Jiang had never looked at them properly.

Princess Jiang Jun was about fifty years old, with a slight figure, graceful and generous, and after receiving the courtesy from Mrs. Xu, she pulled her to sit on the chair next to her and said with concern: "It's not that you haven't been doing well these days, why did you come so early?" ”

"Yaoyao is very anxious." Mrs. Xu glanced at Li Tian and the three of them who were huddled together muttering, sighed, turned her head to look at Princess Jiang Jun and said in a low voice: "This kid is pitiful, he doesn't think too much, and he is too vicious, if I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't dare to believe it." Princess Jiang Jun's face was as usual, and she only let out a soft 'um'. Since the day when Mrs. Lin moved her daughter's dowry back to the Yan Mansion with her granddaughter, these two wastes have been delusional about harming Sister Tian, so they have been able to get the countless silver, but they have no choice but to have a sweet dream.

Princess Jiang Jun glanced contemptuously at Brother Yan Chengzhi who was cowering in, Sister Tian was followed by Yue Niang, who could hurt her? Princess Jiang Jun's eyes moved to the coffin of Mrs. Lin, and she looked at it for a moment, this aunt was pressed in front of her like a mountain, and she could only look up until she died, how did she invite a master like Yue Niang? Or be a close bodyguard for a little girl......

“…… This kid is also crying stupidly, how did he survive these days? It's a big deal. Mrs. Xu continued to sigh, the corners of Princess Jiangjun's mouth couldn't help revealing a hint of a smile, and gently patted Mrs. Xu's hand, Xu's heart is pure, it is her favorite, but it is too solid, until four days ago, this mansion was held in the palm of Sister Tian and her grandmother, these few days, just with those two pairs of waste can you subdue how many people?

"And rest assured, all the old people in this house are in the hands of the old lady." Princess Jiang Jun couldn't help but mention something, and without waiting for Mrs. Xu to answer, she raised her hand to greet Li Tian and said, "Sister Tian, come over and let your aunt take a look, did you walk in the house yesterday, were you scared?" ”
