Chapter 175: Yan Jin is overturned by Hong Lang
Lu Mingchao and Lu Yao declined the invitation of Wei Zhou and his sister to get together, and took a carriage together, leisurely returning to Sheung Hei Village.
"Second brother, is there anything else you don't know?" Lu Mingchao said with interest as he recalled the piece of paper that was crumpled and torn by Old Lady Zhang.
Lu Yao picked off the dry grass stuck to the hem of Lu Mingchao's cloak and said in a deep voice, "In principle, there is nothing that cannot be learned."
"You can also ask Xie Yan about this."
Lu Mingchao lazily leaned on the soft cushion of the car and squinted his eyes. "You are all hexagonal warriors."
Lu Yao didn't quite understand what he was saying. "What warrior?"
"Impeccable and all-powerful." Lu Mingchao said softly.
Lu Yao: “That’s exaggerated.”
In this room, Lu Mingchao and Lu Yao were chatting idly.
Over there, on a deserted mountain road outside the city, Xie Yan was riding alone on horseback, taking advantage of the shade of twisted branches and dead trees to watch Tian Dong go through untold hardships to clear the mountain road that was blocked by fallen rocks and mud. Then, without stopping for a moment, he drove the carriage exhaustedly towards the Taoist temple on the mountain.
"Sir."
The dead tree behind Xie Yan was shaking, and the figure seemed to be there and not there.
"How is the Taoist temple doing?" Xie Yan asked in a low voice as he led his horse to the mountain road.
"Everything is as you expected, young master."
Hearing this, Xie Yan nodded slightly, jumped onto his horse, and rode away quickly with the whip.
Xie Yan had arranged for people to block the mountain road first. There was no village in front and no shop behind. Tian Dong could not find any help to clear the mountain road, so he had to clear the fallen rocks and mud bit by bit with his bare hands.
When the sky was dark, carriages could barely pass through.
It was only after Tiandong went up the mountain that there was real despair.
After all, Qu Ying was Sun Zhiye's concubine, and she was truly devoted to him.
…
The night was as dark as ink, and Tiandong knocked on the closed door of the Taoist temple.
Tian Dong looked around fearfully, and saw that in the desolate and remote environment, there seemed to be ferocious ghosts and beasts showing their fangs and claws.
When I sent my master and his wife here, I didn't think it was so scary.
The door of the Taoist temple opened, and Tiandong walked towards the backyard compartment with ease.
The woman's coquettish and flirtatious laughter was particularly clear in the night, accompanied by the man's somewhat angry and rough breathing, as if...
It seems that...
Tiandong pursed his lips and sneered in his heart.
One must be extremely lustful to sweat profusely in a pure Taoist temple where statues of gods are enshrined and incense is burned.
He couldn't help but be stunned until he realized that the blushing voice came from the room in front of him.
Master?
It has been a whole day since the Madam came down the mountain to accuse the eldest son of murdering the second son, and yet the old man still has the mind to do something silly?
Who was the one who was involved in the affair with Master Yanyanjin?
Tian Dong was concentrating and listening attentively. When he heard the other person's words clearly, he was struck by lightning and froze in place. His feet seemed to be firmly nailed to the ground, unable to move. A chill surged from the back of his head, and cold sweat quietly slid down his forehead.
Aunt Qu.
How could it be Aunt Qu!
Tiandong felt as if something exploded in his head.
Even if the master is very hungry, he will never choose Aunt Qu!
Aunt Qu was first the second young master's nominal fiancée, and later became the eldest young master's concubine. This matter was criticized in itself.
Now, the old man and concubine Qu have entered into a tender and gentle relationship again.
Can you mess it up more?
The battle in the room was in full swing, and Tiandong was in a state of confusion.
Thinking of the eldest son who was probably already in prison, Tian Dong gritted his teeth, raised his hand and knocked on the door. "Master, Tian Dong wants to see you."
As soon as the words fell, a muffled groan was heard in the room, followed by deathly silence.
Slightly lowered, there was a rustling sound.
Tiandong guessed the progress and knocked on the door again.
"Master, Tiandong will go to the wooden pavilion outside the courtyard and wait for you."
Tiandong deliberately made his footsteps heavier and deeper to ensure that the people in the room could hear them clearly.
A squeak.
Sun Wude, wrapped in a thick hoodie, pushed the door open and walked out, coughing three times with every step he took, trying to ease the embarrassment.
The smell of powder blew over Tiandong's nose with the wind, and Tiandong couldn't help but frown.
"Tian Dong." Sun Wude put his hands behind his back and said in a pretentious manner, "Why did you come here at this time? Does Zhiye have something to tell you?"
Tian Dong suppressed his dislike and said, "Master, do you know where the Madam is?"
Sun Wude pointed to the dilapidated room in the corner and asked, "Where else can she go?"
Tiandong was extremely speechless.
"Master, the mistress sounded the alarm early in the morning and brought a lawyer to sue the eldest son for the intentional murder of the second son."
"That is to say, the lady went down the mountain last night."
Sun Wude was so shocked that he kicked open the door of the corner compartment in disbelief.
There was no one in the compartment.
Tiandong was both anxious and angry, but he couldn't help sighing.
The lady was away for a day and a night and the husband knew nothing about it.
At this moment, Tiandong suddenly understood why his wife went crazy.
Yes, I am crazy.
No normal person would do such a thing as sending their own son to his death.
"Master, the eldest son has ordered his subordinates to take you down the mountain."
"Madam, you are the only one who can save the eldest son."
Tian Dong forced himself to suppress his chaotic and complicated emotions and said anxiously.
The cold wind blew, and Sun Wude shuddered. He became a little alert in his heart. "How to save him?"
You're not asking him to take the blame, are you?
Is it his turn before Peng'er's body is cold?
Did he give birth to a son or a Prince Yan, who could appoint soldiers and generals and whoever he named would be the one to be appointed?
Sun Wude subconsciously wanted to take two steps back.
He raised his foot and put it down again when he saw Tiandong's frown.
Tian Dong: "The eldest son said that the old man will find a way."
Tiandong couldn't help but feel a lingering sense of despair.
Can the old man really save the eldest son?
uncertain.
What about Sichuan cypress?
Can Chuanbai bring help to the eldest son?
Tian Dong's words stunned Sun Wude.
Will he be able to do it?
Did his eldest son, who was like Prince Yan, overestimate him?
"Master, please go down the mountain first." Tian Dong urged, "Maybe you will have an idea after talking with the eldest master."
Sun Wude looked up at the dark sky and said hesitantly, "It's freezing cold, the mountain road is rugged and difficult to travel, and there are said to be wild wolves. It may not be safe to travel at night."
It would be better to go down the mountain early tomorrow morning."
Asparagus: ???
Tiandong has a big question in his little head.
"Master, the lady is not afraid to go down the mountain alone at night, you..."
Sun Wude slapped his thigh and shouted at the top of his voice, "No, it must be Lu Mingchao, it must be Lu Mingchao."
"It must be Lu Mingchao's sweet words that incited her!"
Tiandong was surprised, but not very surprised.
It seemed that after repeated setbacks he had accepted the fact that the eldest son was no match for the Lu family.
Being able to incite the lady to sue the eldest son is also a skill.
Sun Wude said, "Three or four days ago, Lu Mingchao and her hunter husband came to the Taoist temple."
Tian Dong: "Have you had any contact with Madam alone?"
Sun Wude recalled the past carefully and shook his head, "It seems not."
Tiandong: Will anyone believe it if I tell them?
The temple is empty after people leave.
