When Lu Yulan heard this, her eyes widened, "You mean, my brother's arm was abolished, and it was my ninth uncle's hand?" But how is this possible, my brother is his own nephew.

And my brother himself doesn't even know who did it. ”

Le Yang hurriedly said: "This is just my guess, but even if it is the hand of the Guogong, it must have been bewitched by Tao, and Tao is the culprit." ”

Lu Yulan shook her head, still thinking that this was too ridiculous, no matter how ruthless Uncle Jiu was, he would not abolish one of his brother's arms.

"It's absolutely impossible to ......"

Le Yang sighed, "I'm just guessing, don't make a noise, but is there such a thing, in fact, you can go back and ask your brother, maybe the truth will be revealed." ”

Lu Yulan thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she said: "Then I won't go in first, you help me tell Xianglan, I have something to do temporarily, so I will go back first." ”

"Okay, I'll tell Miss Five." Leyang's eyes flashed and he agreed.

Lu Yulan quickly returned to the Lu Mansion and went to Lu Qingbai's courtyard.

It's just unfortunate that when she passed, Jingwen came and was playing chess with Lu Qingbai.

Lu Qingbai's face was very bad, but he could only sit there patiently and play chess with Princess Jingwen.

When Lu Yulan saw this, she wanted to quit, because she didn't like Jingwen, and every time she stayed with her, it was very uncomfortable.

But Jingwen had already seen her.

"Yulan, I heard that you went to the Lu Guo Mansion, why did you come back so soon?"

Lu Yulan had no choice but to walk in, "Yulan has seen the princess. ”

Jingwen waved her hand, "No courtesy." ”

Lu Yulan straightened up.

When Lu Qingbai saw her come in, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and put down the chess pieces in his hand, "I'm a little unwell, you can play chess with the princess." ”

When Lu Yulan heard this, she secretly complained in her heart.

She didn't want to play chess with Princess Jingwen, her chess skills were very bad, and playing chess with her was torture.

But her brother said that, and she couldn't refuse.

Fortunately, Princess Jingwen didn't really want to play chess, and when she saw Lu Qingbai saying that she was unwell, she immediately said, "That's not going to play, you go back and lie down." ”

Lu Qingbai nodded, turned around and went back to the house to lie down.

Princess Jingwen didn't follow up, she turned her head to look at Lu Yulan, played with the chess pieces in her hand and said, "What, it was the Tao clan who drove you back?" ”

Lu Yulan was puzzled, "What? ”

"You went to the Guogong Mansion and came back in less than a moment, weren't you driven back by the Tao family?" Jingwen glanced at her.

Lu Yulan looked at her in amazement, "Of course not." ”

"Then what are you doing when you come back so early?" Jingwen was a little displeased.

Lu Yulan was stunned for a moment, and finally understood what she meant, did she blame herself for disturbing her alone with her brother?

"I went to the Guogong Mansion and found that there was nothing fun, so I came back." She replied.

Jingwen snorted coldly and stood up, "We will be a family soon, if the Tao family dares to bully you, you have to tell Princess Ben, and Princess Ben will clean her up." ”

Lu Yulan looked at her a little strangely, "Aunt Nine didn't bully me. ”

"Aunt Nine?" Jingwen looked at her sarcastically as if she had heard something funny, "You are very good." ”

Lu Yulan looked at her mean appearance and suddenly fell silent.

In Princess Jingwen, she seems to see her former appearance.

At that time, she was also stupid and mean.

Moreover, she suddenly found that Tao Yao was quite pitiful.

Behind the scenes, there are so many people who hate her and are full of malice towards her.

couldn't help it, she said a fair word for her, "Aunt Nine is actually ...... Not bad. ”

"Are you speaking for her?" Jingwen stared at her incredulously.

Lu Yulan was taken aback, "I'm not speaking for her, I'm just stating the facts." ”

"Really? But I hated her very, very much. Jingwen's voice was cold and disdainful.

"Why?" Jingwen blurted out.

In her opinion, Tao Yao has nothing to do with her brother, and Jingwen is about to marry her brother, so why should she care about Tao Yao anymore?

Jingwen didn't speak, but pulled a piece of paper from her sleeve and threw it to her.

Lu Yulan was stunned and picked up the paper on the ground.

When I opened it, I saw a portrait of Tao Yao painted on the paper.

She stared at Jingwen with wide eyes in surprise, "This ......"

Jingwen pursed her lower lip, her eyes were full of poison, but she didn't say anything and walked out of the room directly.

Lu Yulan took the portrait and looked at the direction where Jingwen walked away with a complicated expression, and then looked in the direction of the inner room.

Could it be that this portrait was painted by my brother, but was accidentally discovered by Jingwen?

Brother painted Tao Yao's portrait, doesn't it mean that he has no love for Tao Yao?

No wonder Jingwen is so angry.

She wanted to go in and ask her brother about the abolition of his arm, but now it seems that there is no need to ask.

If his brother really has no love for Tao Yao, then his arm is really unjust.

Nephew Xiao misses his aunt, it's a big rebellion!

She put away the portrait and left Lu Qingbai's house.

And inside, the people who should have rested did not sleep at all.

Listening to the conversation between the two outside, the corners of Lu Qingbai's mouth hooked up a cold arc.

Tao Yao, that slut, dared to harm him, although he couldn't shoot directly, he could borrow Jingwen's hand to clean her up!

……

Besides, after Tao Yao went to Tao Mansion, he saw that Tao Ling's complexion was much better, and he was a lot more relieved at the moment.

She also learned from Tao Shu's mouth that Qi Liang, the secretary of the ministry, was directly dismissed by the emperor because of corruption and bribery, and the whole family was exiled.

After Tao Yao heard this, he naturally knew that this matter was not a coincidence, and someone must have contributed to the trouble.

It happened that Gu Changqing came to Tao Mansion again, and Tao Yao went out to meet him and asked about it.

“…… The matter of Qi Mansion, was it done by Lord Gu? ”

Gu Changqing paused and explained: "In this matter, not only did I contribute, Jiuyuan, but also Uncle Ling, Cousin Ling, and Ling Zun, all contributed a lot.

However, although we are behind the scenes, Qi Liang is not innocent, for so many years, he has relied on the position of the head of the household department to take bribes and make a lot of money, and he can be regarded as taking the blame for himself. ”

Tao Yao was a little surprised when he heard this.

This matter is actually Lu Jiuyuan's handiwork?

But he didn't say anything.

If Gu Changqing hadn't talked about it, she wouldn't have known at all.

However, the Naqi family is indeed to blame.

Especially the bastard who bullied Tao Ling is a scum.

She heard Xing'er talk about it later, that day in the backyard of Yipinlou, Tao Ling and Xing'er had just come out of the toilet when they bumped into the drunken son of Qi Liang.

When the man saw that Tao Ling was born beautifully, he had a bad heart and forcibly came to pull Tao Ling, but Xing'er stepped forward to stop him and was knocked unconscious.

In broad daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the son of Qi Liang dared to do such a dirty thing, which shows that it is not the first time he has done such a thing.

So you deserve this kind of fate!

What Gu Changqing didn't say was that he also sent someone to abolish Qi Liang's son on the way to exile.

Tao Yao nodded in agreement, "Master Gu is right. ”

"By the way, this basket of lychees, I hope that my sister-in-law will hand it over to Tao Ling." Gu Changqing suddenly pointed to the basket on the table.

Tao Yao nodded, "Master Gu has a heart, I'll bring it in for the second sister in a while." ”
