Chapter 41: Questioning
"What do you mean by that?"
As soon as the words fell, Li Ke took out a sachet from his arms, and at a glance, he knew what the girl's family was carrying.
Lu Lianzhi's eyes widened in surprise, and when Li Ke was about to speak, she stopped him, and after looking left and right and no one noticed here, she said in a low voice and quickly: "Follow me back to the house and talk about it in detail!" ”
In the other courtyard, Dou Lianyi didn't know that she was secretly being calculated, she just faintly felt a little uneasy in her heart, so she called Yuzhu to ask if anything had happened when she was not in the county king's mansion.
"Back to the young lady's words, I heard Xiao Liuzi say that I don't know what mistake the second lady made, and as soon as she came back, she was ordered by the young master to be locked in the courtyard and not allowed to come out."
Dou Lianyi pondered for a while, and had a hunch that this must be inseparable from Qin Mutuo, so she didn't ask any more.
"By the way, young lady, there is one more thing," Yuzhu hesitated for a moment, and said with some uncertainty: "The herbal sachet you gave to the slave and Bai Zhi before is missing for some reason, and the slave and maid have searched for many places but can't find it. ”
"Where did you lose it?"
"The slave maid took out the herbs in it to bask in the sun, and the sachet was placed on the windowsill in the slave maid's house, and the sachet was gone that night."
Dou Lianyi frowned slightly, only feeling a little strange.
The sachet she bought on the street, and it was just some ordinary herbs to repel mosquitoes, how could she lose it for no reason?
"The slave maid also asked Bai Zhi, but Bai Zhi has never seen it."
"Well, that sachet isn't a valuable thing, I'll buy a few more sachets and put herbs in them for you when I'm free tomorrow."
Dou Lianyi didn't think about it, but just comforted Yuzhu, who was a little annoyed.
But after thinking about it, she called back Yuzhu, who had already gone away, and whispered a few words in her ear.
Two days later, before the rooster crowed outside early in the morning, the county king's mansion began to be noisy.
"Bai Zhi, what's going on outside?"
Dou Lianyi hadn't fully woken up yet, she sat up a little sleepy, wanting to call Bai Zhi to ask.
After a long while, Bai Zhi didn't respond to herself, but the noise outside was getting louder and louder, which made Dou Lianyi feel a little uneasy.
She grabbed her clothes and put them on, pulled her hair up at random, pinned a mahogany hairpin, and pushed open the door and walked out.
Unexpectedly, this almost scared Bai Zhi, who just ran back.
Bai Zhi's face was panicked, her face was pale, she pointed out the courtyard, and stammered to Dou Lianyi: "Young lady, it's not good, it's not good!" ”
"What's wrong?"
"Old lady, old lady asked people to arrest you and go to Shou'an Hall to ask for guilt!"
Hearing this, Dou Lianyi frowned a little puzzled, "Ask for sin? ”
"Slaves don't know ......"
Before Bai Zhi could finish speaking, several family members rushed in from outside the courtyard, and came towards Dou Ripple without saying a word.
Seeing their menacing appearance, Bai Zhi immediately stretched out her arms and blocked in front of Dou Lianyi, preventing them from taking people away.
The guy standing at the front has a black mole under his right eye, and his facial features are also clear, but for some reason, his eyebrows and eyes always give people a sense of haze.
He saluted Dou Lianyi and said in a hoarse voice; "Young lady, offended, the old lady is invited!"
Dou Lianyi raised his eyebrows and glanced at this family, knowing that this person was Li Ke.
"It's the old lady's order," Dou Lianyi stared at Li Ke's eyes and asked word by word, "Or is it my sister-in-law's order?" ”
Li Ke was stunned for a moment, then looked Dou Lianyi up and down, and replied with a grin: "What the young lady said is naturally the old lady's order." ”
After saying that, he waved his hand, wanting the family behind him to go up and take Dou Lianyi away.
However, Dou Lianyi sneered, glanced at those family members who were eyeing him, and mocked.
"Heh, such a big battle, I can't tell if it's here to invite me or to pressure me."
"Young lady, please don't make it difficult for the little ones," a cold light flashed in Li Ke's eyes, not only did he not take half a step back, but he also took a step forward and approached Bai Zhi, "Otherwise, don't blame the little ones for being polite." ”
Hearing this, the family members behind him also pressed forward in unison, causing faint pressure on Dou Lianyi.
"Young lady, don't be afraid, there are slaves and maids, no one wants to take you away!"
Bai Zhi gritted her teeth hard, resolutely not taking a step back.
"It's okay, I'll go and see what's going on."
Dou Lianyi patted Bai Zhi's shoulder, then raised his chin slightly, and motioned for Li Ke to lead the way.
Seeing that Dou Lianyi was so obedient, Li Ke lowered his eyes and pressed his tongue a little unhappily, but it was a pity that he couldn't be escorted to Shou'an Hall to relieve the second lady's anger.
"Young lady!"
Bai Zhi wanted to go with him, but was stopped by Li Ke, he smiled gloomily, and said, "Miss Bai Zhi, please stop, the old lady said that she can only let the young lady go alone." ”
"You!"
After everyone in the courtyard retreated, a small figure suddenly appeared on the outer wall of the courtyard and asked Bai Zhi with concern, "Sister Bai Zhi, how did I see my mother being taken away?" Where are they going? ”
"Fu Qing, how is this good! They inexplicably said that the young lady had made a mistake, and the old lady asked someone to take the young lady to Shou'an Hall for interrogation! ”
As soon as Bai Zhi saw that it was Fu Qing, she couldn't hide her anxiety and said it like pouring beans.
After finishing speaking, Bai Zhi realized that Fu Qing was just a child, even if she told him, it would be useless, she stomped her foot, turned around anxiously and went to Yuzhu to discuss the method.
Seeing Bai Zhi's departing figure, Fu Qing pursed his lips, jumped off the wall in a hurry, and went straight to the outside of the county king's mansion.
In this situation, the only way to do this is to ask Qin Ye for help!
Shou Antang.
"Mother, you must be clear, how can my sister-in-law do such an insulting thing, if it is known by outsiders, then the face of our county king's mansion is gone!"
Before he could walk in, Dou Lianyi heard Lu Lianzhi's complaint inside.
Dou Lianyi frowned slightly, knowing that this time the matter must be inseparable from Lu Lianzhi, but according to the memories left over from the previous life, she was honestly staying in the county king's mansion at this time.
"Young lady, delaying time doesn't do anything."
At this moment, Li Ke sneered gloomily behind his back.
Dou Lianyi ignored him, but walked into the back room with a calm face.
"What kind of wind is blowing today, and you brought you, sister-in-law?"
"Big, sister-in-law......"
Lu Lianzhi, who was still chattering, seemed to be dumb when she appeared, and she stopped her mouth and wanted to hide behind Lu Shangxuan.
However, Dou Lianyi will not let her get her wish easily.
