"Go and tell Cao Bin's messenger, just say that the palace has asked him to meet in Panlou tomorrow to discuss important matters."

Princess Zhaoyang said with a red face.

She clutched the handkerchief tightly, her heart pounding, and she was very nervous.

At this time, the female officer beside her hesitated for a moment and asked:

"Princess, what are you?"

If you want to discuss things, just invite Cao Bin directly to the princess's mansion, where do you need to go to Pan Lou?

Princess Zhaoyang glared at her, and said angrily:

"Don't ask what you shouldn't, do you want to be whipped again?"

When the female officer heard this, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to say anything more, so she had to go out to deliver the letter.

In the princess's apprehensive mood, on the second day, she quietly took the female official to Pan Lou.

When she arrived downstairs, she asked, "Has Cao Bin arrived?" ”

The female official said bitterly: "Back to the princess, Uncle Zhongjing has arrived." ”

After speaking, she reluctantly persuaded again:

"Princess, if this matter is known to outsiders, your reputation will be over."

If the palace knows, she, the female official who supervises the etiquette of the princess, will also be punished, so she is very reluctant.

Princess Zhaoyang hesitated for a moment, and said hatefully:

"Didn't Chen Shimei say that Bengong had an affair with Cao Bin? I can't take the charge in vain. ”

"Besides, as long as you don't say it, who knows?"

When the female official saw that the princess finally said her plan, she was frightened, and hurriedly persuaded:

"There is no impermeable wall in the world, if Uncle Zhongjing tastes the sweetness and grabs it, what will the princess do?"

"Besides, if you are a talent, do you really want to be separated from him? At that time, the Queen Mother may not allow it. ”

Princess Zhaoyang was stunned for a moment, and hesitated:

"That'...... Get back? ”

She suddenly thought that Cao Bin had always been lawless and bold, and she would definitely not be able to control him, and it would be over when the time came to entangle herself.

Seeing that the princess was relieved, the female official was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the carriage lane:

"Quick, get home."

As soon as she returned to the mansion, Princess Zhaoyang saw from a distance that the housekeeper was directing the family to drive away a woman.

The woman was in her thirties with two children in their mid-teens.

She lifted the curtain and asked, "What's going on?" ”

The housekeeper said: "Princess, that's a crazy woman, if you have to say anything to recognize your relatives, the master of the horse asked us to drive her away." ”

Seeing that the woman had already gone away, Princess Zhaoyang didn't ask much.

She is a little weak now, lest she bump into Chen Shimei, and just wants to go back to the room as soon as possible to calm down.

Cao Bin was released a pigeon for no reason and was very depressed, but he didn't pay too much attention to it, and went back to his house to accompany his wife and concubine.

The woman with the child is Chen Shimei's original partner, Qin Xianglian.

Now that her in-laws have died, her life is unsustainable, so she has to take her two children to Beijing to find relatives.

Because she had no savings, along the way, she took her two children to beg for a living, and it took a lot of hard work to get to the capital.

What made her feel like falling into an ice cave was that Chen Shimei turned her face and didn't recognize anyone.

Nuoda Bianjing City, she is unfamiliar with life, has no relatives, and has two children waiting to be fed, she doesn't know where to go.

If this continues, the three of them, mother and son, will starve to death in the capital.

At this moment, two passers-by suddenly discussed:

"Mr. Bao is fair and strict, and has never been unjust, false and wrongfully convicted......"

Her eyes lit up suddenly, and she immediately asked passers-by about the location of Kaifeng Mansion......

Three days later, at night, a ruined temple outside the city.

Qin Xianglian was carrying three hundred taels of silver and rested here temporarily.

She plans to return to her hometown with her children.

Bao Zheng has already made it clear to her that if she continues to sue, Chen Shimei will only have a dead end.

After all, she couldn't bear to see Chen Shimei die, so she could only accept the money given by Bao Zheng and withdraw the case.

"Mother, I'm afraid!"

Looking at the wind and rain outside the window, banging the broken temple door with a loud noise, the girl trembled.

Qin Xianglian's face was full of bitterness, and she hugged a pair of children in her arms and said:

"Sister Chun is not afraid, there is a mother!"

Chun Mei whimpered and cried: "Mother, doesn't Dad want us?" ”

Before Qin Xianglian could speak, the boy said angrily:

"He's not our father, when I grow up, I must seek revenge on him!"

At this moment, I heard a loud bang, and the gate of the broken temple was kicked open.

A man with a steel knife in his hand broke in like a fierce man, his eyes were full of murderous intent, staring closely at Qin Xianglian's mother and son.

Qin Xianglian hurriedly protected the two children behind her, and said tremblingly:

"Master Jun, I will give you all the silver, please don't hurt us."

The man asked, "You are Qin Xianglian?" ”

Qin Xianglian was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak.

The man said: "Don't talk nonsense, on Huangquan Road, don't blame me for your mother and son!" ”

As he spoke, he made progress and cut it down.

Qin Xianglian's mind turned sharply, and she suddenly thought of something, and exclaimed:

"Chen Shimei sent you! The concubine has already withdrawn the paper, and he still wants to kill his wife and children? ”

As she spoke, her eyes were full of tears, and she kowtowed again and again:

"Master Jun, it doesn't matter if you kill the concubine, spare the two children."

The man suddenly stopped and exclaimed: "Kill your wife and children? You are actually the original wife of the horse master? ”

At this time, the boy suddenly rushed out, hugged his thigh and said, "Don't kill my mother......."

Hearing Qin Xianglian explain the truth of the matter, the man sighed and said:

"I can't disobey the horse's command, and I can't do such a thing for him, which is unconscionable, or so!"

After saying that, he put the steel knife on his neck and wanted to kill himself!

At this moment, an angry female voice came in:

"Han Qi, who are you going to kill?"

When the man heard this, he was shocked, and hurriedly threw down the steel knife and knelt on the ground:

"Princess?"

I saw the temple door open wide, and several entourages walked in with Cao Bin and Princess Zhaoyang.

Cao Bin smiled: "Princess, what I said is not wrong, there is a good show to watch here." ”

Princess Zhaoyang ignored him, looked at Han Qi with round apricot eyes and said, "Say, what's going on?" ”

Seeing Han Qi hesitate, Princess Zhaoyang said, "Are you loyal to Chen Shimei, not to the palace?" ”

Han Qi had no choice but to tell Chen Shimei about sending him to kill his wife and son.

Princess Zhaoyang trembled with anger, gritted her teeth and said angrily:

"This wolf-hearted thing not only deceived the queen mother and the palace, but also did such a thing that was unreasonable to God."

When Qin Xianglian heard this, she also understood the identity of the person who came, and hurriedly stepped forward and kowtowed, and said in fear:

"Gong ...... Spare your life, princess! ”

To her, an ordinary woman, the princess is a celestial figure.

Princess Zhaoyang's face tightened, and she said, "You ......"

For a while, she didn't know how to deal with it, and at this time, the female officer beside her stepped forward and said:

"Woman, kill yourself!"

Princess Zhaoyang was about to speak, and the female official hurriedly said:

"Princess, it's about the royal face, you don't want to make this matter known, it's a scourge for this person to keep."

"Another thing about the colt, if she goes to sue again one day, your face will be lost."

Hearing this, Princess Zhaoyang suddenly hesitated.

When Qin Xianglian heard this, her face turned pale immediately, and she was about to pick up the steel knife in a trembling tremble.

When one of her sons and daughters saw this, they hugged her and cried:

"Mother, mother, I don't want you to die."

Cao Bin was speechless, snatched Qin Xianglian's steel knife, and said angrily to the female official:

"Shut up, there's no place for you to talk here, get out of here!"

The female official glared angrily and was about to argue, but the princess said, "Cao Bin, she is reasonable......

Cao Bin covered her mouth, picked it up and walked out:

"It was a bad decision to bring you here!"

Princess Zhaoyang struggled in panic and shouted, "Cao Bin, you are bold, quickly put down the palace." ”

Cao Bin didn't answer, but just ordered:

"Bring everyone back to the Hou Mansion."

Everyone was dumbfounded, Han Qi's face was anxious, and he was about to chase after him with a knife, but he was knocked down by a halberd in a sedan chair and scolded:

"How dare you be presumptuous?"

"Didn't you hear the young master's orders, come with me!"

Qin Xianglian was stunned, this person even dared to offend the princess?

However, her heart was full of gratitude, and she quickly asked, "Who is this?" ”

Han Qi got up in a cold sweat and said with a wry smile:

"With Uncle Cao in charge of you, Master Horse is going to be unlucky......"
