Chapter 184: Zhizhou Mansion
Seeing that he never sent a message, Ling Wu was also anxious, and said: "Master Hou, Lord Taifu is definitely not the kind of person who kills people when he is angry, Master Hou has also met with Lord Taifu a few times, so he should understand." ”
Shen Zhan said lightly: "Knowing people and knowing faces but not knowing hearts, let alone dealing with officialdom." But Miss Lou doesn't need to worry too much, the matter will definitely be thoroughly investigated, Lord Taifu is the mentor of His Royal Highness the Prince, if he is wronged, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not sit idly by, you better go home early. ”
Lou Zhaorao sobbed, and then pulled Ye Lingwu and choked up: "But I can't go back now, the Baili family asked people to surround my mansion last night, if I wasn't in the mansion last night, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to come here to plead now." ”
Ye Lingwu frowned, and thought: "Sister Lou has no way to go, but she can live in the Hou Ye's mansion temporarily, but this matter is ......" She looked at Shen Zhan, "It still has to be agreed by the Hou Ye." ”
Shen Zhan glanced at her coldly and said, "You are in charge." ”
Leave only this one sentence and turn away.
This gave Ye Lingwu a headache, she was in charge, could she still be the master of this mansion?
In the end, Lou Zhaorao still stayed, but Ye Lingwu still told Mrs. Shen about this matter first, and it was also in Shen Zhan's name.
Old Mrs. Shen didn't say much, after all, before the case was settled, although the Lou family and the Ningbei Hou Mansion had little personal relationship, they were also important ministers of the imperial court.
People were placed in the Fuhua Courtyard, Shen Paner heard that Lou Zhaorao came to live in the house temporarily, and came with a skirt and humming, saying that he was here to comfort, but Ye Lingwu looked at it more like he came to see a joke.
Lou Zhaorao was a peacock in distress, and she didn't bow her head when she was killed, knowing Shen Paner's intention, she held back her tears.
Ye Lingwu saw that the two of them were arguing, and couldn't help but be happy, but at this time, he suddenly remembered something, and said: "Sister Lou, I saw that the face of the person named Yueling was also there when you came, do you want to tell him?" ”
Lou Zhaorao frowned when she heard this, and said with a solemn expression: "No matter what he does, he sees that I am in trouble, and he must think that the farther away from me is better, so as not to be affected, and at this moment, he is even more eager to return to the capital with his burden and find other rich girls to please him." ”
"Also, I've long heard that the face head is the most conscienceless, they all look at the money and serve people, but your two face heads are too eyeless, and Lord Taifu's crime has not yet been established, so they want to run away, and after they find out, they will look good." Shen Paner looked like she had a lot of experience.
It's rare that Shen Pan'er can turn around and say some comforting words, but Lou Zhaorao didn't buy it, and said with a sad face: "How to find out?" The Baili family insisted that it was my father who killed the Baili Lord, and it was indeed my father who was the only one who entered the Baili private boat last night to talk to the Baili Lord. ”
Ye Lingwu frowned, as if he was thinking, and finally exhaled a breath of turbidity, and asked, "Sister Lou, do you know where the accident of the Lord of Baili is on the private boat?" ”
Lou Zhaorao didn't know this, and said in a daze: "I'm also hearsay, it seems to be ...... A study on three floors? I don't know, but it's the place where the Lord's house is meeting. Why are you asking this all of a sudden? ”
Ye Lingwu was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's nothing, just ask." ”
Last night, the maids of the Baili private boat were on the first and second floors, and the maids of the Baili family were sure that no one had ever looked for the lord of Baili except for Mrs. Lou, but at that time she clearly saw that there was another person who also came out of the house.
"I think you're at ease." Shen Pan'er peeled the orange and said slowly, "Yu Sucheng, a well-known Qing official in Xuanzhi Prefecture, he will definitely be able to find out about your father's affairs, not to mention that there is also a scholar of Jiang University, although he looks soft and weak, but his character is still okay, otherwise my father would not look at him with blue eyes." ”
Lou Zhaorao's brows stretched slightly, and said: "This is the truth, when Scholar Jiang was in the capital, he did act in a high manner, and my father also praised him. ”
Shen Pan'er shrugged her shoulders and said: "Isn't this enough, with Xuanzhizhou and Jiang University scholars, you will never wronged your father, not to mention that your father is still a major minister of the humerus in the court, who dares to judge the unjust case." Sister Lou is usually very smart, but now she is also concerned about it, look at this crying, her eyes are red like an old rabbit that is about to be eaten. ”
Lou Zhaorao glanced at her irritably, and said, "Get out." ”
The night was getting dark, and after going to the main house to serve Mrs. Shen, Ye Lingwu went back to his bedroom directly, but went to visit Rongxiu's injury first.
The room was filled with the smell of ointment, Rong Xiu was half lying on the bed, holding Ye Lingwu's boiled porridge and snacks, waiting to eat seven or eight points full, slowly put down the bowl and said: "Girl, the slave maid heard that Mrs. Lou was imprisoned?" ”
"You can still hear about this when you are wounded in the house."
Rong Xiu pursed her lips and said hesitantly: "Girl, we seem to have seen someone else appear on the third floor that night, do you think there will be another misunderstanding about Master Taifu?" ”
Ye Lingwu slowly raised his head and looked at her: "You think so too?" ”
Rong Xiu said carefully: "Girl, should we tell Master Hou about this?" ”
Ye Lingwu buckled the pattern on the stove twice, and said slowly: "You are not here today, I didn't see Hou Ye's attitude towards this matter, the Baili family is determined that the Lou family will not let go, and the famous family in Huainan is not easy to offend, Hou Ye is clearly handing over this matter to the Zhizhou Mansion, and only heard His Majesty's will...... Let's go to the Zhizhou Mansion and find the Jiang University scholar. ”
"Zhizhou Mansion?" Rong Xiu said abruptly, "But we two girls, wouldn't it be good to go to the Zhizhou Mansion." ”
Ye Lingwu also hesitated.
As early as when she was in Daiyue Town, she had seen a lot of people in the yamen who didn't take witnesses seriously, and she didn't dare to say that Shen Zhan was such a person, but since Shen Zhan had said that this matter had been handed over to the Zhizhou Mansion, he might not care anymore.
In fact, before coming to the capital, the first person she knew was Mama Xuan and Rong Xiu Tanchun, who should be Mrs. Lou, and he had interceded with Shen Zhan for her when he was in Lou Chuan, although it was just a matter of one sentence, but it was also a favor.
Now that Mrs. Lou is in death, she goes to the Zhizhou Mansion in a word, so what if she should repay this favor?
Ye Lingwu secretly made up his mind, and then tucked the futon for Rong Xiu, and said, "It's not good, if you're injured, just rest well, don't think too much." ”
Rong Xiu felt that these words were ambiguous, and said: "Girl, a few days ago, when the old lady was punished for kneeling, she also said that you can't leave the mansion easily in the future, if you go to the Zhizhou Mansion and be known by the old lady, she will definitely be angry." ”
“…… The old lady has been chanting in the house for the past few days, and her ears have not heard what is going on outside the window, how can the old lady know if I am just out of the house for a while. ”
Rong Xiu was silent.
