Chapter 56: Threats
More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye, and it is almost the end of the year. It snowed several times one after another, and Yu Wu'er sat in the hall, took a sip of hot tea, and looked out.
I don't know when my husband will come back......
In recent days, there has been good news from the border, most of which are due to General Wen's many victories, and now, the people respect him tightly.
What a wise and divine martial artist, winning more with less, and returning unharmed from taking the enemy's head thousands of miles away, it really mythologizes him.
I heard that Liu Mei also listened to it when she went out to do errands, saying that the people outside had privately named her husband Jun, and she was invincible in battle......
Liu Mei came back to learn to her, and she was startled.
However, it has only been three or four months of fighting, and she didn't expect her husband to be so powerful.
Not to mention that it is almost the end of the year, even with her husband and king who have won so many battles, the emperor will soon make an order.
Merely...... Yu Wu'er frowned, she still hadn't found out about the stranger's letter before. Because this kind of thing can't be quiet, she didn't ask anyone else to help, and she didn't tell anyone else at all except herself and Liu Mei.
I have been on guard for a long time, and I have checked for a long time, but I have found nothing.
The letter would be delivered every three or five days, sometimes by someone else, sometimes in the room for some reason, or on the windowsill, but there was not a single clue.
Later, she instructed no one to send or receive letters privately, and no one's could do it and it was of no use.
That letter will appear when the time comes.
made her unbearable, except for opening two or three letters, she saw that the above words were almost the same content, and then she didn't read the rest of the letters and ordered Liu Mei to burn.
Out of sight, out of mind.
"Madame...... The slave had just cleaned the room when he found another letter...... "I was troubled, and I heard the voice of Liu Mei coming to report."
Hearing this, she sighed.
"Old rules, burn it."
Liu Mei listened to her words, hesitated, and stood still without moving. attracted a strange glance from Jade Wu'er. "What's wrong?"
"Madame, this letter ...... It seems to be different from the previous one. ”
Well? Hearing this, Yu Wu'er finally turned her head and looked at the letter that Liu Mei was holding in her hand.
"What's different there?" As he spoke, he was about to take the letter.
"In the past, those letters have never been sealed, but this time they were sealed with beeswax, and the slave originally wanted to deal with them like the previous letters, but he was afraid that something would be strange in the past few years, so he didn't act rashly."
Yu Wu'er took the letter and looked at it carefully, and sure enough, as Liu Mei said, the letter was tightly sealed with beeswax.
It's just that the front of the envelope is still exactly the same five words: Yu Liuniang opened it personally.
The first time she saw the handwriting, it was extremely beautiful, and she admired it in her heart, but when she saw that it was written in some words that she didn't know, she turned that admiration into disgust.
Shameless, villainous acts!
This world is extremely harsh on women, with many constraints, and women's reputation is greater than everything. She is slightly better married to a woman now, plus her husband doesn't care about those rules and customs, and she herself is not as shy as before, but if this kind of thing is known to outsiders, she will definitely not end well.
I don't know who the person who wrote the letter was, or what his purpose was.
Now her husband may be coming back soon, and if she lets her husband know that she doesn't care, she will feel ashamed.
It seems that this matter must be resolved sooner rather than later. It's really not good, just go find the third brother, it stands to reason that this kind of thing should go to the eldest sister, but the eldest sister is about to give birth, how can she bother because of this little thing.
After thinking about it, she opened the letter again, and she wanted to see what the man had written this time.
Yu Wu'er read it roughly, and the more she looked at it, the tighter her brows wrinkled, and when she saw the end, she was already angry.
How dare he ......
"Madam, what's the matter, it's true—"
Liu Mei was shocked and asked worriedly.
Yu Wu'er was angry and didn't answer, so she only gave the letter to Liu Mei and let her read it for herself.
After Liu Mei read it, she was furious, and she was more angry than her wife. "This guy is too shameless, he dares to threaten Madame!"
The first half of the letter is no different from the previous letter, but the second half and even the end are disrespectful.
The man said that he had written so many letters to his wife, but she could not say a word, and felt that her wife did not take him to heart, and wanted her to write back to him.
Bah! What a noble person her wife is, if she hadn't been able to find out who he was, she would have punished him a long time ago, and wanted her to reply to her wife's letter, dreaming, and not looking at what kind of mess was in this letter.
"Madam, you must not agree to the request of this shameless man, if you really reply to him, once the handwriting falls into the hands of that person, I don't know how many things will come out of that person."
At the end of the letter, he also threatened her wife that if he couldn't receive a reply from her, he would tell the relationship between the two of them, so that the world would know how she would end up when General Wen came back.
It was also this last sentence that made Liu Mei worried, in case her wife was really threatened by that person, the consequences would be great......
Her wife has never even known outsiders, but what this person said in the letter is the same as the truth, that is, they really have nothing to do with each other, that person is just talking nonsense outside, let alone whether anyone believes it, that is, if she doesn't believe it, she will suspect her wife if she talks too much.
The truth of three people becoming tigers is unknown to the world.
Yu Wu'er naturally knew Liu Mei's worries, she thought more than Liu Mei, she always felt that this was a conspiracy, she was trying to ruin her reputation, what good would it do to others?
It's nothing more than her suicide or other fate, it's not too good, but even so it shouldn't hurt her husband. This excludes that it is not aimed at her husband.
That's for her.
Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered an old thing.
When she went to the hermit temple to pray for blessings, she stayed there for ten days in a row, and on the way back from the mountain, she met a group of bandits.
But no, the bandits didn't know which family she was.
And that's all there is to ......
The Mu Gongzi who saved her life.
That Mu Gongzi didn't seem to have any motives, but it could not be ruled out that he was instructed by someone, and it was so coincidental.
She had never heard of bandits near the hermitage mountain, and she hadn't heard of it since that incident, which was strange.
If it had been premeditated, everything would have made sense.
"Liu Mei, you go and find out where the Mu Gongzi who saved our lives that day is, and follow the Heyun Lane mentioned in this letter to check."
Yu Wu'er was noncommittal to Liu Mei's words, and only changed to another topic.
Although Liu Mei was a little confused, she also knew that her wife had thought of something, and hurriedly took the order.
That's right, there is a place revealed in this letter, which is Heyun Lane.
The letter asked her to reply, and the letter only had to be taken to Heyun Lane, and he would naturally receive it.
Now I can only go to Heyun Lane to check.
As for this letter, she would never have written it.
……
Three days later, as soon as Yu Wu'er had lunch, she heard Liu Mei come to report good news to her.
"Madame, great joy! The emperor has just issued an edict, saying that he wants the prince to return to Beijing! ”
Hearing the news, Yu Wu'er suddenly couldn't sit still. "Really?"
Liu Mei was elated, happy for her wife, "Now it's rumored outside, and Master Hou has also sent someone, so there must be no mistake." ”
"Great......" Yu Wu'er's heart was excited, and the look of anticipation in her eyes could not be hidden. The two suddenly separated as soon as they got married, and they didn't see each other for a day, so many days have passed, and I don't know how many spring and autumn seasons have passed, and she really misses him.
Now I can finally come back.
"According to the distance between us and the border, plus this holy decree back and forth, it is estimated that in less than ten days, the prince will return!" Liu Mei helped her wife count the days.
Yu Wu'er was still excited in her heart, thinking that she would be able to see her husband in ten days, and her usual calmness disappeared without a trace in an instant.
But apart from this matter, the letter cannot be delayed any longer, and must be dealt with before the husband returns, so as not to worry about the husband when he returns.
"Liu Mei, how did you check the things I asked you to check before?"
At the mention of this topic, Liu Mei's happy expression slowly suppressed. "According to his wife's instructions, the slave went to Heyun Lane in person, and indeed saw Mu Gongzi, but when the slave mentioned the letter, Mu Gongzi did not admit it, and the slave looked at him with a worried look on his face that did not look like a fake."
So, it's weird.
Yu Wu'er thought that this letter was sent by Mu Gongzi, after all, he was not a small suspect, but she didn't expect it to be him?
As a result, the hard-won clues were broken.
"Madame, there is one more thing......
Liu Mei's face was ugly, and he took out another letter from his sleeve. It's still sealed.
"On the way back from the slave, when he was about to arrive at the Hou Mansion, this letter suddenly appeared at the slave's feet, with your name written on it, and the slave didn't dare to throw it away, so he had to bring it back."
Yu Wu'er now has a headache when she sees the letter. "You take it apart and see what is written on it, and we will go back to the Changning Marquis Mansion later, and ask the third brother to help check it."
"Yes, ma'am." Hearing this, Liu Mei opened the letter.
After reading it, Liu Mei took a deep breath.
"Ma'am, this ......"
Yu Wu'er met Liu Mei's frightened eyebrows and asked, "What is written in the letter?" ”
"The letter said that if Madame refuses to reply to her today, she will definitely let everyone know about it before dark."
Liu Mei now wants to cut that person's heart with a thousand knives.
Yu Wu'er closed her eyes.
"Let's go, now let's go to the Marquis of Changning's mansion. In addition, you are going to talk to Qingfeng, go to Liubu once, if the third brother is there, please come back. ”
