Chapter 116 Shock
Meng Ya covered her mouth, her face full of disbelief.
"So the last time the wife of Marquis Dingbei used Ximu to frame Qingping, I was very sure it was a fake. If it was anyone else, I wouldn't be sure. If it was Qingping, and he really had secretly conspired with someone in advance, then that person would have been torn into pieces by five horses."
Lady Dingbei Hou felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over her. She felt cold from head to toe. She gritted her teeth, wishing she could strangle the woman in front of her to death!
If she hadn't interfered last time, she would have withdrawn from the marriage with Da'an long ago! Damn it!
The wife of Marquis Dingbei took a few breaths and remembered Marquis Dingbei's warning that she didn't know what the Prime Minister Chu was doing and that the people from Da'an might be of great use, so she should not mess with them.
Lady Dingbei clenched her fists tightly and slowly backed out.
"Miss, she's gone. This time we're going to have a big show to watch." Meng Ya said.
Xia Xue glanced at the receding figure with her peripheral vision and put away her smile, "Wait until she invites the old witch over, that will be a big show."
Xia Xue asked Meng Ya to inform Xia Chun to keep an eye on it, and she went back to take a nap.
Mrs. Dingbei Hou returned to the room and smashed everything that could be smashed in the room. She only had this one precious son, and he was already engaged to that woman Qingping!
How would she live if anything happened to her son?
No, we have to solve this problem quickly.
"Go find the steward immediately and ask him to invite the marquis back!" Lady Dingbei Marquis instructed her personal maid.
"Madam, the Marquis should be at the training ground at this time. The Marquis said..." Seeing the murderous look in the wife of Marquis Dingbei, the head maid didn't dare to continue.
"Go and invite them quickly!" Lady Dingbei Marquis almost shouted.
The head maid left. After more than half an hour, the housekeeper came back and said that the marquis was busy, and asked the lady to stop making noise and continue to listen to the opera!
"Listen to this spicy opera. I don't want to listen to any opera today!" Lady Dingbei Hou started swearing.
The head maidservant shrank a little. The Marquis really didn't care whether the Madam attended the opera today or not. He just wanted the Madam to stop bothering him!
"Since the Marquis doesn't care, don't blame me!" Lady Dingbei wrote a letter and brought a jade pendant to the maid. The maid looked solemn and did as she was told...
When Xia Xue woke up from her nap, she heard this gossip. She took a sip of black tea and instantly felt refreshed.
"This time we'll see if the old witch comes." Xia Xue said with a smile.
"Miss, if that old witch doesn't come, all our efforts will be in vain." Meng Ya asked.
"What's the point of wasting effort? It's enough that I have caused so much trouble for the wife of Marquis Dingbei!" Xia Xue didn't care. For some reason, she felt that the big boss would definitely come.
But after dinner, it was already the intersection of Xu and Hai, but no one showed up. Xia Xue curled her lips. Did she miscalculate the situation?
"Forget it, let's take a rest." Just as Xia Xue finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Xia Xue winked and Meng Ya went to open the door. The person who came in was Xia Chun in night clothes.
"Why are you dressed like this?" Xia Xue asked.
"There are at least four strangers outside the door, guarding around the Marquis's mansion, but the Marquis has not returned yet, so I am going to go out and check it out." Xia Chun replied.
"The Marquis hasn't come back yet? Have you found out the reason? Hasn't he always been very regular?" Xia Xue asked.
"I also find it strange. The housekeeper's people are waiting at the door."
Xia Xue thought for a while, "What if the Queen Mother wanted to come and deliberately asked Dingbei Hou to come back?"
Now that we have guessed the relationship between the Queen Mother and the wife of Marquis Dingbei, anything is possible.
Thinking of this, Xia Xue said in a deep voice, "Xia Chun, let Xia Dong go out. He is good at hiding and changing clothes. Let him disguise himself as the person sent by the housekeeper and report to the Marquis that there seems to be some unusual movements among the people from Da'an, and tell the Marquis that he must hurry back."
"Yes!" Xia Chun said, and left.
"Miss, what if the Marquis comes back and keeps an eye on us?" Meng Ya was worried. Their current situation was already difficult. They couldn't leave the Marquis' Mansion, which was equivalent to house arrest in disguise. If they got even more nervous, they wouldn't be able to leave the room at all. That would be troublesome.
"Everything is just a probability. If we don't gamble like this, Marquis Dingbei won't be able to see the drama between his wife and the Queen Mother. How are we going to perform later?" Xia Xue suddenly thought of Chu Zhenxuan who had been gone for nearly ten days. She didn't know how he was doing and what he and Yang Junyi had planned.
With a sigh, they should just do their current job well. At least it would be a good thing to cause some trouble for the Dingbei Marquis Mansion and the old witch, the Queen Mother.
Another half hour later, Xia Chun brought news that the wife of Marquis Dingbei had brought in a man through the small door.
"A man?" Xia Xue frowned. Did the Queen Mother send someone? Didn't she come in person? That's impossible. How could someone else do that?
"Where did you go?" Xia Xue asked again.
"I went to the rockery at the back."
Another rockery!!!
Does this era have a grudge against rockery? All the shameful things are related to rockery.
Xia Xue bit her lip, "Does that man know Kung Fu?"
"It seems that his kung fu is not very deep, and his steps are very heavy." Xia Chun replied.
"That's good, let's go and take a look!" Xia Xue took a black cloak.
This time Xia Xue did not bring Meng Ya. For safety reasons, the fewer people the better.
If the man who came was not very skilled in martial arts, Xia Chun could definitely protect her.
Xia Xue had just walked a few steps out of the door when she was suddenly pulled by a force from behind, and then her mouth was covered.
Xia Xue was startled and met a pair of familiar eyes.
Yang Junyi!!!
Why don't you take good care of your injury? What are you doing out in the middle of the night?
Yang Junyi: It’s such an interesting thing, but you didn’t invite me, so of course I have to come by myself.
Your injury hasn't healed yet, come back quickly, be good.
Yang Junyi: No matter how badly injured you are, it is more than enough for me to protect you.
The two exchanged glances for a while, and Xia Xue was defeated.
Xia Chun saw Yang Junyi the moment he came out, but when he saw it was the Fourth Master, he did nothing. Yang Junyi instructed Xia Chun that if he saw the Marquis coming back, he should do everything he could to lure him here.
Xia Chun took the order and went to work.
Yang Junyi led Xia Xue to the rockery very familiarly and dragged her in.
Xia Xue paused and pointed upwards.
Brother, what if we get too close and get discovered?
Yang Junyi: Don't worry, there are better places to hide inside, and you can see clearly.
What is this? Just listening to it is enough, do you still need to watch it?
Xia Xue shook her head.
Yang Junyi: What if I can’t hear clearly unless I get closer?
Xia Xue was helpless, but driven by curiosity, she was persuaded by Yang Junyi. When the two of them entered the rockery, they could already hear faint laughter.
"No, you're so bad." It was the charming voice of the wife of Marquis Dingbei.
Xia Xue's skin was all red with anger, thinking that the ferocious old woman actually had such a delicate side.
"Am I bad? What about this?" The local voice was tingling.
Xia Xue was stunned. Why was it a man's voice?
Is it possible that the wife of Marquis Dingbei is actually bisexual?
Xia Xue felt a chill in her heart and accidentally stepped on a branch, causing it to creak.
