Chapter 351: Catching the Adulterer
From the day when Li Tai said that he would ask for his life to go to Goguryeo, Yiyu moved to Jingbo Hall to sleep with Xiaoyudian, and expressed his indignation at Li Tai's decision with his actions.
Li Tai rarely did not coax her this time, she sulked, and the next day still proposed to lead the troops to the court, which was strongly pushed by the ministers, although the emperor did not respond for a while, but did not insist on driving the expedition as at the beginning, and the attitude was obviously relaxed, and there was room for negotiation.
On that day, Changsun Chong smashed the gate of the General's Mansion, and when Yiyu came back from outside the palace, he ordered Yu Tong to send people to keep an eye on the movements of the Changsun family, but the news that Song Xinci escaped from the Changsun family was still sent to the palace a day late.
When Yi Yu heard the news, her first reaction was that Song Xinci would go to Lu Jun, she was afraid that Lu Jun would not be able to carry it clearly, and if she really covered up Song Xinci, she would really be discovered, and the child with an unknown father in Song Xinci's womb would definitely be Lai Cheng Lu Jun, and even if Lu Jun jumped into the Yellow River, he would not be able to wash it away.
A married woman hooking up with a man, as long as she is not caught first, usually will not have too serious consequences, at most it is a style problem, but like Song Xinci, who has a big belly, but is not recognized by her husband's family, she insists that she is fornicated and conceived, which is enough to commit adultery, according to the law, it is a sentence of two years, and once the man is verified, he will also serve a sentence.
A year and a half in prison is not a long sentence, and the ups and downs of official careers are common, and some important ministers in the court, such as the eldest grandson Wuji Fang Qiao, have been imprisoned back then, but once the notorious reputation of adultery is on his back, it is difficult to get rid of it for the rest of his life.
Now it is determined that Song Xinci's incident is suddenly a ghost behind his back, and the eldest grandson Wuji may not intend to make a big deal about it, to find out who a concubine is committing adultery with, but the person who is making a ghost behind his back, how could he let go of such a good opportunity, I am afraid that someone has already arranged for someone to watch Lu Jun's every move, waiting for him to take the bait.
"Pingtong, go and let someone prepare the car, I want to leave the palace."
Yiyu instructed Pingtong, and went into the inner room to wake up her daughter who was halfway through the nap, Xiaoyudian reluctantly rubbed her eyes and sat up, as soon as she heard that she was going out of the palace to go to her grandmother's house, she immediately had the spirit, and obediently asked the maid to comb her hair and wash her face, and change her clothes.
Lu Jun tossed like this, and Yu Yu knew that the Lu family must have been depressed these days, so she brought the light raindrops over, so as to share her mother's mind and make the Lu family happy, and she started to take care of Song Xinci again.
Many military attaches like to set up a courtyard in Guiyifang to store private belongings or receive distant relatives, Lu Jun has been rich in recent years, and has accumulated some family business, and there is also an exquisite courtyard in Guiyifang.
After several days of sunny weather, it was cloudy today, and from morning to noon, it looked like there was going to be a rain.
Jin Lu'an sat in the carriage on the corner of the street, and through the gap in the window, he saw Lu Jun coming out of the house with an elm tree planted in front of the door and getting on the horse brought by the servant.
When he walked away, she got out of the car, except for Yu's mother, the nurse who married the Lu family with her a few years ago, she didn't bring half of the maid.
"Knock knock!"
Just after leaving Lu Jun, the porter in the house was about to go back to take a nap, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door outside, thinking that Lu Jun had turned back again, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out.
"Husband, husband, wife." The porter stammered.
The Jin family is a scholarly family, and the people in the family are well-behaved and polite, just this Yu Ma is an accident, Yu Ma's husband's family was originally a nursing home for Dr. Jin's house, and he also practiced a few hands, and the Jin family was afraid that the young lady in the family would be angry if she married a martial artist, so she deliberately paid for the Yu Ma who had not drunk a few drops of ink, but was full of loyalty.
Yu's mother was sturdy, and she pushed the slender porter aside with one hand, gritted her teeth and asked:
"Say! Where did the lord place that woman? ”
The porter looked at Jin Lu'an, who was standing aside with a calm face, and thought that this was the lady who caught the adulterer, and was afraid that the master would come back to punish him, so he stood at the door stupidly and couldn't speak.
When Yu's mother saw his appearance as Vino, she knew that the person was indeed hidden inside, so she was angry, slapped the porter's head, and scolded:
"Hurry up and be honest, I can't tell the difference between people inside and outside, Mrs. is here, who else do you want to cover up, betraying the Lord's things, what kind of thing are you to be that slut, tired master, if you really hurt this big family, the first one will kill you first!"
The porter was frightened, so he couldn't care about it, stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the west courtyard, and said with a crying face:
"Last night, the lord brought people back, and he lived in the West Chamber, and the lord also told the little ones to serve for a good life, and they were not allowed to talk nonsense with the outside, unless the small ones deliberately covered up, Madam, you will spare the small ones."
The master and servant ignored him and begged for mercy, and Yu's mother opened the way in front, so she and Jin Luan angrily went to the West Chamber to find someone.
This house is not big, because it does not live often, and the next person has not arranged a few, and I haven't met anyone along the way.
Passing through a small garden is the wing, there are two lacquered low wooden doors outside the courtyard, open on both sides, when Jin Lu'an walked to the gate of the courtyard, the two foreign masters and servants were talking under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, she saw the figure at a glance, vaguely heard the sound of talking, and did not rush in, but took a deep breath, pulled Yu's mother, who was about to rush in, and stood on the edge of the courtyard to listen to them.
"Miss, seeing that it is going to rain, you go back to the house and rest, didn't Brother Tiger tell you to rest well and take care of your body when he left just now, you promised to be good at that time, as soon as this person leaves, he will be disobedient."
Song Xinci's complexion was not very good, but being teased by the maid like this, a trace of ruddy still appeared on her slightly pale face, she reached out and slapped the magpie, and said:
"You came to laugh at me again, I was locked up for a few days, and I finally escaped, I didn't want to go back to the room to be bored, so you let me walk in the yard for a while, and it was not too late to enter the house when the rain came."
"Then stay a little longer, otherwise Brother Tiger will come at night, and the slave will sue."
The magpie pouted as he laid a cushion on the stone bench at the foot of the laurel tree, and helped Jin Lu'an, who was vain in his steps, to sit down.
"I know, it's as wide as you can," Song Xinci read her sentence brokenly, turned her head to look at the personal maid who had been with her for many years, sharing weal and woe, and with a move in her mind, she reached out and pulled her, and the two of them crowded on a stool and whispered.
"Magpie, I have been with you for so many years, I have not regarded you as an outsider, and now I have fallen to this point, you are still by my side, if I am grateful, I really don't know how to say, I think if I have a next life, I can be a sister to you."
The magpie was uncomfortable with her praise, "Miss..."
"You listen to me first," Song Xinci grabbed the magpie's hand, and affectionately put her shoulder on the shoulder, and said quietly: "I am from here, I can see that you are the same as me, your heart is placed on one person, don't think I don't know, every time I see Nian'an, you are more smiling than me." ”
was told that this little thing was broken, the magpie's face was in a hurry, and her whole face turned red with shame, Song Xinci didn't seem to notice her abnormality, stroked her lower abdomen with one hand, and said to herself:
"But our current situation is really not good, I was the concubine of the eldest grandson's family, and I was rejected by my husband, and I was supposed to have a letter of resignation, which was my own doing, but they were going to fall into my child, how could I agree, and I escaped. The eldest grandson's family is high, and now I have no way out, my father and mother are in Yangzhou, they want to be the most faceful, and when they hear this news, they will definitely cut off relations with me. ”
"But the mistake has been cast, the home is not going back, now we can only hide in this small courtyard, waiting for the calm down, the best result is that Nian'an He still has a trace of affection for me, can harvest my poor man into the outer room, lest we drift outside, at that time, I am the only one by my side, I am thinking, the two of us will take the rest of our lives, be a pair of good sisters, serve him well, and repay his kindness, I am afraid that I will wronged you, and I will not see the light of day like me, and become a shameless woman in the mouth of others."
"Miss, what are you talking about," the magpie's nose was sour, and he reached out to hug Song Xinci's shoulder, and felt sorry for her:
"In fact, if it weren't for Mrs. and Master to stop you, you and Brother Tiger would have become a good thing a long time ago, where is it the turn of someone else to be the general's wife, I heard people say that the lady in Brother Tiger's family was married on the orders of his mother, they will have a little truth, to talk about it, Brother Tiger still mentioned to our family first, she was embarrassed to insult you that day, I want to see, she is the one who is brazen."
"Whew!"
The two were talking about emotion, but they didn't pay attention because they were startled by Yu's mother, who suddenly made a voice at the gate of the courtyard, and when they turned around, they saw two figures passing through the small door of the short flower one after the other, and walked towards them.
After so many years, it is not difficult to recognize people, the master and servant stood up from the stone bench in a panic, and the magpie stood up in front of Song Xinci with a wary face.
The magpie is a loyal protector, Yu's mother is not bad, Jin Lu'an can be said to have grown up with her, how can she let people say that the first half of the sentence is not good, listening to the two people chirping crookedly in the yard behind their backs, they have long been on fire, and before they came to the front, Yu's mother has already stretched out her hand and pointed at their noses and scolded:
"You stinking dirty things, you dare to bury my wife, it's no wonder you would do such immoral things, none of them are good things, you think about stealing men all day long, why don't you just go upstairs to hang a list, so that you can steal a pain!"
The elderly woman scolded the street, that was enough, Song Xinci's master and servant were scolded by her a few words, one was the blood on his face retreated, and the other was angry and red.
"Y-you-"
The magpie wanted to return the favor, but before he could finish a word, he was interrupted by Yu's mother:
"Shut your stinky mouth, this is not the place for you to stay in the dirty, hurry up and pack your things and get out of here!"
Seeing her fierce appearance, Song Xinci shuddered, and the magpie forcibly lifted it up in one breath and carried it up with a stiff neck:
"Why are you letting us go, it's Brother Tiger who wants us to live here, if you have the ability, you can call Brother Tiger to come and pick us up!"
Mother Yu turned her head and caught a glimpse of Jin Lu'an's pale face from just now, afraid that she would think about the words of the faceless master and servant in front of her, so she impatiently pulled the magpie that was chattering with her with one hand, and dragged Song Xinci who was hiding behind her with the other.
"Let's go, hurry up and let me go!"
Song Xinci was pulled by her elbow, she didn't even have the strength to resist, she stumbled and was pulled forward by her, the magpie is not easy to provoke, seeing that Yu Ma has a lot of strength, she can't get rid of it, and in a hurry, she opened her mouth and lowered her head to bite the back of Yu Ma's hand.
"Ahh
Yu's mother was in pain, and subconsciously shook her hand, and Song Xinci on the left was just pushed to the ground by her, and she planted a solid heel.
"Miss!" The magpie got out and cried and pounced on Song Xinci, who fell to the ground.
"Nurse," Jin Lu'an was frightened by the crazy girl, and saw that there were two rows of seeping tooth marks on the back of her nurse's hand, which were dripping and bleeding, so she hurriedly pulled a handkerchief and stepped forward to cover it.
"Magpies... It hurts, it hurts. ”
"Miss, miss, woo, do you want to care, where are you knocking? What does it hurt? ”
"Nurse, don't move, I'll wrap you up first."
"You, you hurt my young lady, I will fight with you!"
Jin Lu'an was wrapping the back of Yu's hand with a handkerchief, who thought that the crazy girl suddenly bumped up, stretched out her claws to scratch people, Yu's mother slapped her backhand with her eyes and slapped it on the magpie's shoulder, not letting her touch a hair of Jin Lu'an, but also making the unbeaten maid fall backwards and roll with her young lady.
Jin Lu'an looked at this noisy scene, her temples were jumping suddenly, she didn't want to come here, how many times have she stayed alone in the empty room over the years, endured Lu Jun's arms and others, tried her best to be a virtuous and generous wife, and lived a good life.
But for the sake of the peace of the house, in order not to let Lu Jun, who was already dizzy, lose his reputation because of this affair, she had to come, carry Lu Jun behind her back, be a wicked person, and drive away this woman who brought disaster to her husband for her own selfishness.
Calmed down, Jin Luan pulled Yu's mother, who stepped forward angrily and wanted to scold, Jin Luan was about to say something, when he heard an angry shout behind him:
"What are you doing here!"
She turned her head, only Lu Jun's angry face in her eyes, she was in a trance, her eyes followed him, she watched him run over, glared at her angrily, crossed over to her, bent down, and went to support the pair of master and servant on the ground.
She can tolerate him taking concubines, tolerate him spending all day and wine, and tolerate him having a private meeting with a married woman behind her back, but she can't stand his cold and merciless eyes.
"Big Brother Tiger, Big Brother Tiger..."The magpie cried and pulled Lu Jun's sleeve, looking like he had been greatly wronged.
Lu Jun carefully helped Song Xinci, who was half dizzy and half awake, to let her lean on her chest, and while pinching her middle, he looked up at Jin Lu'an angrily:
"Do you think I don't know you're letting people follow me? I just want to see what you can do behind my back, because I used to think you were a big-hearted woman, and you really disappointed me. ”
Jin Lu'an looked at Lu Jun full of accusations, without any trace of concern and apology, and in an instant, his heart was cold.
She was a little stunned, she hadn't been able to rest well for days, she was in a trance, and the sweetness and happiness that had once been there that supported her ordinary life seemed to have gradually faded, and her mind was about to drift away, but she was pulled back by a sneer that suddenly sounded in this courtyard.
"You can't even tell the difference between good guys and bad guys at this time, and you still know what disappointment is? If you talk about disappointment, I am the most disappointed in you, second brother. ”
At the small door of the short flower, there was a person standing at the end, wearing a purple dress and red dress, showing the status of the gorse hairpin, with cold eyes and eyebrows, as far as the eye could see, exhausted the sharp spirit of the person.
Yi Yu walked in slowly, followed by Pingtong Pingyun, and Lu Xiao, who led her here.
When she got closer, Yi Yu saw clearly the tear stains on the face of Jin Lu'an, who looked stunned, sighed in her heart, and stretched out her hand to her:
"I haven't been to this house yet, so my sister-in-law will take me to find a clean place to sit."
Jin Lu'an was poked in the back by Yu's mother, and then he sluggishly went to hold Yuyu's hand.
Yi Yu put her hand on Jin Lu'an's palm, which was colder than her, turned her head and saw that the bane was still leaning on Lu Jun's arms with his eyes closed, and immediately pulled down his face and opened his mouth to say:
"Song Qingyuan, do you want to get up by yourself now, or do you want me to let people carry you away, you can think clearly."
Lu Jun looked confused, lowered his head, and saw that Song Xinci's eyelids in his arms moved, and he woke up faintly after the words of the left jade fell for a moment.
Song Xinci opened his eyes blankly, swept around, and when he saw the jade, he tried to stand up on Lu Jun's shoulders in a panic, and called out with awe and some fear in his mouth:
"Bye, meet the crown princess."
Seeing that she was still pretending to be in front of her, Yi Yu felt ridiculous and annoyed, and was not in a hurry to expose her, only glanced at her, and took the lead with Jin Lu'an out of the smelly room.
"Come with me."
Seeing Song Xinci staggering to her feet, Lu Jun originally wanted to support her, but looking at Yiyu's angry back, he finally gave up and asked the magpie to help her and follow Zhiyu.
When the group came to the flower hall, Yi Yu pulled Jin Luan to sit on the couch on the upper seat, and waved his hand to let Pinghui follow the next person to prepare tea.
Lu Jun walked in, picked a chair on the left and sat down, and Song Xinci, who came in later, stood in the hall at a loss.
Lu Jun pointed to the other side, "Sit down." ”
Song Xinci timidly looked up at the remnant jade.
"Standing." Yiyu Road.
"Ahem, she's inconvenient, let's let her sit." Lu Jundao.
Yi Yu said: "What kind of person is the second brother, what kind of identity is she, where I am, is it my turn to get a cheap concubine to sit on?" ”
Lu Jun was dumbfounded, under the crown princess, unless she was a woman of five grades or above, she was not allowed to sit.
The magpie secretly crooked her mouth, Song Xinci quietly twisted her, and the two of them stood there honestly and didn't dare to sit.
Lu Jun had no choice but to look at Song Xinci, whose face was pale, standing there staggeringly, Jin Lu lowered his head absently, and Yu Yu looked outside the door without speaking, and the room was silent, until Pinghui came back with tea, and Yu Yu handed the hot tea to Jin Lu'an, and then spoke leisurely:
"Tell me, whose child is in your womb*
