Mother Wu replied: "The prince should not have come back yet, the prince will come to see you when he comes back, presumably there is something to delay today." ”

Old Madam Qiao didn't put this matter at ease, and she didn't have the heart to look at the accounts anymore, so she sighed lightly and complained about Qiao Jiangru.

"He's just like his mother, he has low eyes, he doesn't look at his identity, and he still wants to marry a wife, he really seems to be an old woman like me."

Mother Wu added some oil to the oil lamp and echoed: "The second young master has delayed himself in vain, if he is looking for a girl from an ordinary family, it is easy to find, but he has to compare with the eldest young master, don't you say that he can't think about it?" What is the status of our son, and how can he compare? ”

Old Madam Qiao: "He is just like that cousin, his eyes are high, and he is not self-sufficient. ”

Mother Wu heard about today's incident on the polo field from the maid, and told Mrs. Qiao about it in high spirits.

Old Madam Qiao shook her head when she heard this, and mocked the Liang family: "It's really thick-skinned, she doesn't want to think about what her identity is, what is the identity of Anfu, and she can have a good relationship with two words of flattery?" The Liu family is really idle and stupid! ”

Mother Wu echoed: "Then the Liang family is bent on climbing high branches, our wife is too soft-hearted, and she can't refuse the Liang family, then the Liang family is just the righteous daughter of the Liu family, even if it is her own sister, she is embarrassed to trouble, but do you think the Liang family is embarrassed?" She wished that the Hou Mansion would change its surname to Liang. ”

When Mrs. Qiao heard this, she frowned and said, "If you let the Liu family go to the Buddha Hall tomorrow to eat fast and recite scriptures for three days, it will be said that the death day of the Hou Ye is coming." ”

Old Madam Qiao suddenly thought of something and added: "Also, the weather is cold, let her sew me two cloaks." ”

She saw that the Liu family was idle and panicked, and she couldn't drive her relatives away openly, so the Liu family would be busy and didn't have time to entertain the Liang family.

If Liang is a discerning person, he will naturally go by himself, if he still has no eyes, don't blame her for being an old woman who is not emotional.

After chatting for a while, the sky outside was darker and cooler, and Old Madam Qiao couldn't help but stretch out her head to look out.

"Why hasn't Jiang Hong come back yet?"

Her tone was not as casual as she was, and she was a little worried.

"The old slave went out to have a look, maybe he didn't come to you today, old lady."

"Let's go and have a look, if you haven't come back yet, send someone to bring a coat to the palace gate to pick it up."

"Yes, old lady, the old slave will do it."

Mother Wu first went to Liuxian Pavilion, but she didn't see Qiao Jianghong's figure, then went to Qiushuiju, and finally went to Wenyuanju, making sure that Qiao Jianghong hadn't come back yet.

She sent everyone to wait outside the palace gate with clothes, and went back to report to Mrs. Qiao.

When Shen Shuli learned that Qiao Jianghong hadn't come back, she thought to herself that he liked to drink tea and drink, maybe he was delayed outside, so he didn't pay attention to it.

Until the second half of the night, the people of the entire Hou Mansion were panicked and made a lot of noise, and all the maids and daughters of the mansion went outside to find Qiao Jianghong.

She was more than halfway through her confinement, and she was about to be able to get out of confinement, so she felt that it was okay to dress neatly and went to Anhetang.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion in Anhe Hall was there, and Old Madam Qiao frowned and looked anxious.

Liu's worries were straight down tears, worried that Qiao Jiang would encounter accidents on the way.

An Qien stood quietly to the side, and suddenly she thought that in the polo field, when she almost fell off the horse, Lu Bochu shouted the horse, black hair!

And the horse is from the palace, and Qiao Jianghong is in charge, will he be locked up by His Majesty?

It stands to reason that if you are locked up, someone in the palace will come to tell you, but so far I haven't seen anyone in the palace come.

She was wondering, could it be that Lu Bochu participated in Qiao Jianghong in front of His Majesty because of this matter!

If that was the case, then wouldn't he have helped her again?

She really stained her brother's light.

Shen Shuli panicked, of course she was worried about Qiao Jianghong's safety, but if he couldn't come back, her status in the Hou Mansion would be miserable.

With the incident she broke out, the Hou Mansion would definitely sell her out and drive her out, or torture people who were not human, ghosts or ghosts.

Thinking of this, her legs were weak with fear, and she returned to Liuxian Pavilion on the grounds that she was uncomfortable during the confinement.

She panicked and found out all the jewelry that Qiao Jianghong had given, gold and silver jewelry.

Xiang Zhu saw that she wanted to run, but she still pretended not to understand and asked, "Auntie, what are you doing here?" ”

Shen Shuli panicked and raced against time to put away the valuables, she took out a very valuable gold bracelet and handed it to Xiang Zhu's hand.

The tone was very anxious and pleaded: "Okay Xiangzhu, you help me, the prince can't come back, I'm in the Hou Mansion is a dead end, you find your clothes for me, I don't have time, hurry up." ”

Xiang Zhu glanced at the gold bracelet in her hand, which she couldn't earn as a maid all her life, and she just needed this bracelet very much, so she agreed to help Shen Shuli as a cover.

Shen Shuli put on the maid's clothes, took the valuables, and took advantage of the darkness of the night to implement her escape plan.....

Anhetang

Liu hurriedly paced back and forth, and Liang comforted her: "Sister, don't worry, presumably Jiang Hong has drunk too much wine and is drunk outside, if it's not a big deal, he will find it." ”

At this time, Liang saw An Qien covering his mouth and explaining what happened to Qingbi.

She raised her voice a little and said softly, "Niece and daughter-in-law." ”

An Qien had already finished explaining the matter of Qingbi, and looked at Liang without emotional changes: "Auntie? ”

Liang smiled hypocritically, took two steps to her side and said: "Jiang Hong has such a big thing, everyone in the house has gone to look for it, there is no news yet, my aunt thinks that you are also in a hurry, it is better to inform Jiang Hong's father-in-law and mother-in-law, how many people in Anfu are powerful, this is also a little more hope, what do you say about your nephew and daughter-in-law?" ”

Liu hurriedly agreed: "Qien, your aunt is right, let your in-laws help, right?" ”

Old Madam Qiao didn't speak, and kept frowning.

An Qien's expression was warm and said: "This is the middle of the night, is it to disturb the entire upper Kyoto not to be peaceful?" Is it to let the entire Upper Kyoto know that something happened to the prince of Houfu? ”

She paused and continued: "There is only one way to the palace, the people in the house have already gone to find it, and the teahouse and restaurant where the prince often goes have also sent people to inquire, and the current situation is unknown, so she rashly made a disturbance, can my aunt consider the consequences?" ”

Liang was choked up and couldn't speak, and shut up stupidly: "I'm just worried about my nephew, not as calm as my nephew and daughter-in-law, who doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all?" ”

An Qien's expression was faint: "The prince is my husband, the concubine is not worried about him, who are you worried about?" Could it be that she went outside to shout as her aunt wished? ”

Liang Wan quietly tapped Liang's arm and motioned her not to meddle.

Old Madam Qiao sighed and said, "Let's wait patiently, it's a simple thing to move, but it's not that simple to do." ”

Liang felt that Old Madam Qiao was connotating her, so she lowered her head and stepped aside with an ugly face, silent.

Everyone sat in Anhetang from late at night to morning, but Qiao Jianghong hadn't come back yet.

But there was a eunuch in the palace!
