Chapter 415 What are you doing secretly?
"Miss Song is at the old lady's place. The old lady has been resting for the past few days and is a little dizzy, so she asked Miss Song to go and see her."
Xuan Qi glanced towards the old lady's residence and said, "Should I ask my subordinates to go and invite the old lady?"
Lu Wanyin turned around and walked directly towards the old lady's yard: "I'll go there myself. I'll get confused if I sleep too much. It's a good opportunity for us to go out for a walk together."
The longer I sleep, the more dizzy I feel.
Before entering the yard, Lu Wanyin could already hear laughter inside.
Lu Wanyin couldn't help but curl her lips: "What are you so happy about?"
"It's Wanyin who's here."
The old lady's eyes lit up and she hurried forward to greet him.
The steps are steady and the spirit is good.
She walked to Lu Wanyin and stopped: "Jiuning and I are going out for a walk, Wanyin must go with us."
“Isn’t this a coincidence?”
Lu Wanyin pursed her lips and chuckled: "This time I came to see grandma because of this matter. I brought Xu Yuan with me as well. This girl also likes lively atmosphere."
Now everyone is here.
What was originally a personal trip has become a group activity.
In order not to attract attention, Lu Wanyin also made a simple disguise.
The streets were crowded with people and it was indeed very lively.
Lu Wanyin stood on the street, feeling that something was wrong.
The palaces of the royal family and nobles in the imperial city are all nearby. The bustling atmosphere on the long street is in stark contrast to the silence between the mansions on the other side.
She finally remembered what was wrong: "Why haven't I seen the princes and nobles in the imperial city for a long time?"
Judging from the personalities of these people, now that she and Xie Jingci are in power, there will be a group of people rushing to establish relationships with them.
But she had lived in the general's mansion for so long, and no one had come to visit.
Xuan Yi and Xuan Qi lowered their heads at the same time: "This... I've been curious about this too."
How could they dare to say that the master did this to prevent those annoying flies from disturbing his lady's peace?
On the day of entering the city, he ordered a midwife to be found and then used harsh and almost brutal means to quickly eliminate those who had bad intentions.
Almost half of the houses near the general's mansion were cleared out.
The rest of those who have guilty consciences would hide in the house and tremble in fear even if no one came to the door, and would never dare to come out.
"Wanyin, what's wrong?"
Seeing that she suddenly stopped walking, the old lady gently touched her forehead and said, "What's wrong with your body?"
"No, no, I just suddenly remembered something."
Lu Wanyin took the old woman's arm and walked slowly forward: "I heard that there is a storyteller in the teahouse in Beijing who tells very good stories.
Didn’t grandma say she wanted to come and see me when she was in the wilderness? Now that I have the chance, I certainly can’t miss it.”
The old lady was moved and held Lu Wanyin's hand tightly: "You, child, there are so many things to do in the wilderness. Grandma just said something casually, how come you still remember it now?"
Lu Wanyin smiled: "Grandma, you..."
Lu Wanyin suddenly stopped talking halfway.
Her gaze fixed on a corner.
At the corner of the alley dozens of meters away, Xuan Wu knocked a man unconscious with a slap, and then dragged him to the corner.
As if he noticed someone was looking at him, Xuan Wu stared at Lu Wanyin with a cold gaze.
Their eyes met directly.
Xuan Wu's expression froze, and the word "embarrassment" was almost written on his face.
He held the man in one hand and raised the other hand, waving it towards her.
His lips moved, but Lu Wanyin couldn't hear the sound. However, she could tell that he was greeting her: "Hello, Madam."
Lu Wanyin frowned.
There were people coming and going on the long street between the two of them, but no one noticed anything unusual.
The old lady saw that she stopped talking halfway and looked forward in the direction of her gaze in surprise.
Xuan Wu had already dragged the man away and disappeared: "Wan Yin, what's wrong?"
"fine."
Lu Wanyin shook her head calmly: "I just didn't expect the streets to be so prosperous and peaceful."
Prosperity is real, but peace is not necessarily.
Those guards are nowhere to be seen all day. What are they doing?
For some reason, Lu Wanyin always felt that this trip today would broaden her horizons.
So, in the next three hours, Lu Wanyin really gained a lot of knowledge.
In the restaurant, Xuan Jiu locked a man's neck and dragged him out, looking like a good brother and not arousing anyone's suspicion.
Not long after, the storyteller was called out halfway through his story.
And then never came back.
The old lady selling wontons on the roadside shouted for the old man to add two sets of bowls and chopsticks, but no one responded after shouting for a long time.
Before she could go look for him, a bailiff came and informed her that the old man had been taken to the yamen.
It was said that he had been secretly helping Duke Xuan of Qi for many years and collaborating with the enemy and committing treason.
Seeing the old lady standing there in a daze with a look of doubt on her face, Lu Wanyin knew that she couldn't eat the wontons.
At the street fruit stall, Lu Wanyin and the old lady chatted and laughed while picking fruits, but the stall owner did not come back.
I asked the vendor next to me and he said that the stall owner had gone to the toilet.
Lu Wanyin looked up at the sky.
Judging from the current situation, the stall owner will probably not come back after going to the toilet.
This time, I only listened to half of the storytelling and didn't get to eat the wontons. I did pick out the best fruits, but the fruit seller was gone.
She has everything in her space, and the fruits are incomparable to those on the stalls.
But what she wants is the feeling of shopping.
Now, I don't feel anything.
Lu Wanyin exerted force on her hand and crushed the orange directly: "Xuan Qi!"
Xuan Qi, whose nerves were tense the entire time, shuddered and stood up straight: "Madam!"
Lu Wanyin took a deep breath and said, "Protect grandma. I'm a little tired. I'm going back home to rest first."
Xuan Qi's expression turned horrified: "Madam, I'd better go back to the mansion to protect you."
"No."
Lu Wanyin looked at him with a half-smile: "It seems that the imperial city is not very safe. The mansion is different. Not even a fly can fly in."
Xuan Qi's forehead began to sweat.
Madam saw it all.
Wait, he secretly asked someone to take the old man away from the wonton stall. Could it be that the lady also knows about it?
Xuan Yi glared at Xuan Qi from the side.
Xuan Qi is as unreliable as those guys. Can't he be more secretive when doing things?
To be honest, the guards felt a little aggrieved.
Of course they acted in secret, and looking at the smiling faces of the people on the street, you could tell that they were not affected in any way.
Who made Lu Wanyin's five senses so sharp?
The two guards remained silent. Lu Wanyin snorted coldly and said goodbye to the old lady with a smile: "Grandma, don't worry, take a walk and have a look. The streets have changed so much and are much more lively than before."
Then she winked at Xuan Yi and turned away.
The Mansion of Marquis Xuan of Qi.
Marquis Xuan of Qi and the Queen sat on chairs in the main hall, pretending to be calm as they looked at the person in front of them: "Xie Jingci, I am very surprised that you can come back so soon.
But, do you really think that you won me over by your own strength?"
The Queen's eyes showed resentment without disguising it: "If I hadn't been held back by some inexplicable things, I wouldn't have been able to build your so-called Free City, let alone send troops."
