However, the convoy of the Houfu had already gone far, and she was indeed short of someone to take care of her, so she secretly endured it, and turned to take some silver bracelets, hairpins, and other small objects to hand over to Chunying, thinking that if she could be subdued to the death, she would be a helper in the General's Mansion.

Unfortunately, women are mostly good by nature, and the only thing that can make them vicious is two things, one is to hurt their children, and the other is to take away their lovers. Since Chunying decided that she was empathetic and fell in love with the eleventh she was targeting, how could she be bribed by her like this to dilute her hatred.

The smile on his face is like a flower, and he obeys the words of the green stamen, but he circles around Eleven every day behind his back, but whenever he opens his mouth, he will say bad things about the green stamen, which annoys Eleven, and she wants to avoid seeing her, and she thinks that Eleven is loyal to the green stamen, and she hates it even more.

In this way, the convoy finally entered Bailu City on the fourth day, and when it arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, the guards were all orphans taken in by the martial arts family since childhood.

There was a shout, and the porter did not make a notice, but opened the door to welcome them in.

The general's wife is bringing a few big maids, setting up the account books of each shop to check, seeing that the amount is gathering more and more, she can't help but smile and squint, her own general treats his subordinates very benevolently, every time a soldier dies in battle, in addition to the silver issued by the imperial court, he has to add more, and even supports more than a thousand orphans, the monthly expenses are too great, and the property in the house is barely enough to maintain.

However, if her son marries, or if she wants to add a few pieces of jewelry, it will be a little difficult.

But fortunately, she was very prescient back then, and took over the property of the Marquis of Anguo Mansion to take care of it, and accumulated hundreds of thousands of taels of silver over the years, and the woman was eradicated, and the money would fall into her hands justifiably in the future.

She was rejoicing, and heard the maid report that it was Lu Rui who was back, and she immediately became suspicious, and the old lady brought her back that day, and she was clamoring to find her own lady, and she was blocked by a few words and had nothing to say, and then her son sent a guard back, and they immediately went out to find someone. Now, why is she back alone, but the old lady is not there?

She was about to send a maid to summon the green stamen to come, when she heard the sound of the bead curtain outside the door, and walked into a young woman in a goose-yellow dress, with a slender figure, a slightly pale face, willow eyebrows, and an apricot eye, and a small red mouth, which made people feel pity just by looking at it.

The woman was also a little flustered at this time, walked in, sat directly next to the general's wife, and said in a low voice, "Auntie, Lan'er is so scared!" ”

The general's wife immediately drove the maids out of the house, leaving only an old woman in her fifties, and then took her niece's hand and said, "Lan'er, don't be afraid, everything is with your aunt." ”

The old woman poured a cup of tea for Roulan, held it in both hands, and persuaded with a smile, "Miss Cousin, don't worry, the general's wife is in charge of everything." ”

Roulan took a sip of tea, her face finally improved, as if she felt a little reckless, and blushed slightly, "Auntie, it's all Lan'er who is timid and shocked you." ”

The general's wife lovingly smoothed the broken hair of her sideburns, and said with a smile, "Silly girl, what are you talking about, my aunt is the mother of the general's mansion, what can you be shocked by a word, but you, tell your aunt, why are you afraid?" ”

Roulan immediately frowned, and said in a low voice, "Auntie, just now I asked Xiaowei to go to the stove to fetch me white fungus soup, and when she came back, she said that the maid who was waiting for the green girl was also there, Xiaowei stepped forward to say hello, the maid was very rude, not only sneering, but also saying... And said..."

"Say what?" As soon as she heard the word green stamen, the general's wife frowned, "Don't be afraid, just say it." ”

Roulan rubbed the handkerchief in her hand, "She said that their young lady was coming back." ”

"What? That's what she said! The general's wife couldn't bear it anymore, and asked in surprise, and the old woman next to her was also shocked and pale, but she personally told the coachman that day to tie the woman to the big stone and sink into the river, how could she still be alive?

Roulan said again, "Xiaowei also felt strange, and asked a few more questions, but the maid refused to say more, turned her head and left." ”

The general's wife was silent, and her heart turned a thousand times, and she was terrified for a moment how miserable her husband and son would be if they knew the truth of the matter, and for a while she was glad that fortunately, she got the news first, and the old woman said tentatively, "Madam, if not, I will call that green stamen over, and we will scare her..."

The general's wife nodded, "By the way, let's go and inquire again, and see what the guards of the major general know?" ”

"Yes, ma'am." The old lady went out in response, Roulan'er rolled her eyes, and sobbed softly beside the general's wife, "Auntie, when my cousin comes back, will I be angry that Lan'er didn't intercede for Sister Yue'er, Lan'er is so afraid that her cousin will be sad..."

"No, no," the general's wife took her niece, and a fierce color flashed in her eyes, "It's her Chen Shuangyue, she can't bear the loneliness, she is willing to be cheap, she has an affair with the guards, and she only received a few strokes of the cane, this punishment is already very light, I sent a car to send her home, and it is also benevolent." Besides, how could we have expected that she would elope with her adulterer halfway? Your cousin is not an unreasonable person, and he will not blame us. Our Lan'er is so well-behaved, how can he be willing to be angry, you, just take good care of your body, and wait until you turn sixteen at the end of the year, and your aunt will make the decision, let your cousin marry you, save you from marrying to a foreigner's family in the future, and be by your aunt's side for the rest of your life, wouldn't it be the most blessed. ”

"Well, my aunt loves Lan'er the most." Roulan hung her head shyly, and leaned into her aunt's arms, her half-drooping eyes trembled excitedly, calculating for a few years, groping forward step by step, isn't it just for that day to come...

Lu Rui guessed that the general's wife heard that she was coming back, and she must call her to question, so after eating a bowl of rice porridge, she endured the pain, changed into a dress, and when she heard the little maid coming to report, she helped Chunying to slowly go to the main courtyard.

The general's wife saw that her face was pale, and when she saluted, she even saw beads of sweat on her forehead, so she asked, "What's the matter, Miss Green's body is not well?" ”

Lu Rui hurriedly replied, "Mrs. Xie is worried that on the way back, the carriage was too bumpy, and she accidentally broke her waist, which made Mrs. smile." ”

The general's wife raised her eyebrows, didn't ask again, smiled and asked her to sit down, Lu Rui gave Roulan another salute, and then sat in the lowest position, and Chunying stood behind her.

After the general's wife finished looking for a few gossips, as soon as the conversation changed, she got down to business, "Miss Lurui, why did you come back alone, where is Mama Gui, she is so old, and her body is good?" ”

Lu Rui smiled, "Mama is old, her body is indeed a little bad, I saw a small village halfway, the scenery is good, the folk customs are also simple, so I stopped to live for a while, she was afraid that the young general was worried about the safety of our young lady, so she sent me back first." ”

Don't talk about the general's wife, that is, the maids standing outside the door are all pouting and not believing, the old lady heard that her young lady was kicked out of the house that day, lost her trace, almost stepped forward to beat their wife, crying endlessly, and then she ignored the old body, went around looking for it, and now their young lady's life and death are uncertain, how could she stop looking because of where the scenery is good?

The general's wife sneered in her heart, but she replied, "Mama Gui is not in good health, and it is not bad to raise her for a while, but I don't know where she stopped?" If the scenery is really that good, our house will also send someone to build a house and go to play for a few days in the future. ”

Lu Rui was a little flustered, rolled her eyes, and said, "Madame also knows, the slave doesn't know a few words, and I really don't remember where it is, but I only stayed for one night, and Mama sent me back, and I am also annoyed, if I go to find Mama again in the future, it will not be easy." ”

This excuse was even more lame than just now, and now even Chunying rolled her eyes, and the corners of Roulan's eyes swept to her face, and she lowered her head slightly.

The general's wife was also impatient to play dumb riddles again, snorted coldly, and said directly, "I'm afraid that Miss Green Rui is unwilling to tell me the truth, are you still jealous that I scolded your young lady that day?" To tell the truth, I was also very angry at the time, I didn't arrange it carefully, if I sent more people to escort her, I wouldn't let her elope with Wuda, and now I am this wicked person. If you can find her, it will be very good, and I will have an explanation when the general returns. ”

Lu Rui raised her eyebrows, but she didn't say anything, when the young lady was just lost, she and her grandmother thought about it carefully, how could they think that the usually weak and honest young lady would never do such a shocking thing, most of it was related to the general's wife, although they had no evidence, and they couldn't ask it, but they all had this suspicion in their hearts.

At this time, if she tells the truth again, I am afraid that if it is the young lady, there will be an accident immediately.

Of course, she doesn't feel much sorry for Miss, it's just that if Miss lives for a day, she has the hope of marrying a young general as a concubine and giving birth to children for him.

The general's wife was also angry, but she couldn't scold and force Lu Rui, so she had to drive her out, and Lu Rui didn't say much, and helped Chun Ying out after a salute.

Soon the old woman also rushed back, and seeing that the general's wife had a bad face, she stepped forward and said, "Madam, the guards can't ask anything, I'm afraid they have been instructed in advance, you see, what should I do about this?" ”

The general's wife frowned fiercely, her eyes were half-squinted, and her heart turned and turned, there was no good way, if it was a weekday, even if she caught Lu Rui and tortured her, it would be okay to dispose of it without leaving a trace, but maybe the general would come back in the next few days, if she left clues, but implicated in the past, it would not be good.

She was hesitating, but Roulan was on the side, pulled her sleeve, and whispered, "Auntie, Lan'er just looked at that maid and Chunying as if she didn't have the same heart as Miss Lurui, why don't you call her to ask?" ”

The old woman remembered that when she went to the row room where the guards lived just now, she heard their jokes, and she was immediately overjoyed, and said, "Miss Biao has a good idea, the old slave was there just now, and I heard a few gossips, as if this spring warbler has some thoughts about Wu Shiyi, and often goes to offer courtesy, Madame is not as good as..."

The general's wife understood, and her face turned happy, "At night, when the green stamen is asleep, call the spring warbler girl to ask a few words." ”

"Yes, madam, the old slave is in charge, you can rest assured."
