Chapter 136 Kidnapping Lu Zhili
Zhao Yang said in a deep voice: "He is thousands of miles away. How many people will the letter pass through? How many people will see it? You and I have no way of knowing. If we want our family to be safe and secure, the less people know about Ah He's pregnancy, the less risk there will be.
Su He also had this idea.
But what she wanted was to prevent Lu Huaihe from being threatened.
"Yes..."
Nanny Tang realized it later and agreed carefully.
After reading the letter, Su He sat in the bedroom for a while before getting up and returning to Tingxue Garden.
Qingyun was waiting outside the courtyard early. When he saw her coming, he hurriedly reported the matter.
"That kid was so strong that he actually broke the door from the inside? I was so angry that I bought three more locks and added them outside, so I can't run away now."
Hearing his vivid summary, Pei Xia couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed: "I didn't expect you to be so talented in being a bad guy?"
"I am gifted and can be both a good guy and a bad guy."
Pei Xia glanced at him: "Do you really think I gave you a date as icing? If you dare to be a bad guy, I'll see if the adults will break your legs!"
Qingyun chuckled: "With the adults here, I naturally dare not do anything wrong."
Listening to the quarrels between you and me, Su He pursed his lips and smiled.
"You seem like a pair of happy enemies."
Pei Xia blushed and immediately said: "Miss, don't joke!"
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. "
After the joke, Su He reminded Qingyun a few more times, asking him to keep an eye on Lu Zhili. She didn't like to see blood, and planned to torture him in a very quiet way.
Guo Mansion.
The servant who had been waiting outside for a whole day finally returned to the mansion.
Hua was waiting anxiously. When she saw him, she looked behind her and saw that there was no one, so she asked hurriedly, "Where is he?"
The servant was also helpless, waving his hands and explaining, "I waited for a whole day at the place you said, and many people came and went, but I didn't see the second young master Lu! Later, I secretly went to the Lu family to inquire, only to find out that he was not at home. He also said that he left early in the morning, and I didn't know where he went?"
"He clearly made an appointment with us, so how could he break the appointment?"
"I don't know... Could it be that the second young master of the Lu family was playing a trick on us before? "The servant made sure that he had not left the spot. Even if he wanted to urinate, he kept holding it back. He did not see anyone.
Hua hesitated.
There was no need to say that Lu Zhili was deliberately playing tricks on her. The Guo family could easily find a reason to make him lose his head. Why take such a risk? Besides, the secrets of the Lu Mansion that he told in order to gain trust were true after verification.
If Lu Huaihe and the eldest princess were The Lord really did something to threaten the interests of the Guo family or Queen Guo, and he could still use this to threaten her.
Hua had a strong temper, was shrewd and conceited throughout her life, and especially wanted to show off her intelligence in front of her husband and Queen Guo, so she received Lu Zhili very warmly after he found her.
But now he has disappeared?
Hua gave an order: "Send someone to guard the Lu family. If there is still no news about Lu Zhili, it means he really played a trick on me. Then I have no choice but to let him pay. "
The servant responded.
In the villa outside Beijing,
Lu Zhili was kept like an animal, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in it.
After the food was finished, someone would bring new food every now and then.
He asked that person questions, but no one answered.
In short, everything was quiet.
A few days later, it was almost New Year's Day.
Lu Huaihe sent back another letter, which outlined the general situation of his investigation and personally distributed the disaster silver he had found to the victims. He also followed the method proposed by Su He to distribute the disaster silver of individual areas. The plague was well controlled, and the number of sick people was decreasing day by day. The doctors who accompanied the emperor also played a great role.
When the letter arrived, the rumor spread all the way back to the capital. The emperor was very pleased and rewarded Li Yuan with many treasures. He also personally held a banquet on the Yuhua Terrace in the Purple Gold Palace and invited Zhaoyang and Su He to go together.
Upon hearing the news of entering the palace, Su He looked heavy and obviously did not want to participate.
On the day of the banquet, Su He wanted to decline on the pretext of feeling unwell, but unexpectedly, Empress Guo's personal maid Liuguang came to Tingxue Garden in person to deliver the message.
"If the young lady is unwell, there are many doctors with superb medical skills in the palace. If you don't go, who can bear it if something happens to your body? "
These words were full of gloom. It happened that Nanny Tang brought ginseng soup to Su He at the time of the day. When she heard this, she put the food box in her hand on the table with a clatter. She didn't care who the master was, and just said vigorously: "Which noble lady came to invite me in person? It turns out that I am just a servant? What, do you think that you are the master just because you have been a maid for a few years and served the master for a few years? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself? My young lady was carefully married back by the adults. She was the one our eldest princess prayed to Buddha for blessing day and night. How dare you, a lowly maid, say that you are injured and irresponsible in the eldest princess's mansion? Ugh! ”
“You old maid are so unruly, I am just…”
“Who cares who you are?”
Liuguang’s face flushed with anger, “I am the head maid of the Empress! If you speak rudely, I will tell the Empress!” It
would have been better if she didn’t mention it. As soon as Empress Guo was mentioned, Nanny Tang put her hands on her hips and became more energetic. She scanned Liuguang from head to toe with contemptuous eyes.
“So, when I was young, I served the emperor. Later, when the eldest princess got married, the emperor saw that I did a good job and served well, so he ordered me to serve her. Now that the eldest princess has a daughter-in-law, she asked me to take care of the young lady. According to what you said, can’t I complain about you in front of the emperor?”
“You! You are obviously making a fuss! "
Madame Tang said, "Since I am making such a fuss, you can report it to His Majesty or the Empress! For the sake of the young lady, I am willing to sacrifice my reputation in front of you! But I still want to ask you, who has the final say in the palace?"
Even if His Majesty holds a banquet, everything is still understandable.
Why is it that this lowly maid is not allowed to handle it?
Since the matter was brought up with His Majesty, Liuguang could not say anything else. She held her breath, bowed her head, and apologized to Su He.
Madame Tang clapped her hands, "That's right, go and give her a reply."
"...Yes."
As soon as Liuguang left, Nanny Tang opened the food box and brought out the still warm ginseng soup.
As she watched Su He drink it, she whispered, "The eldest princess has already gone to the banquet, and the young lady insisted that she was not feeling well and did not need to go out. As long as we are in the eldest princess's mansion, everything will be fine."
Su He saw Liuguang's serious look just now, and she was sure that there was something wrong with the banquet.
Maybe it was not the emperor's idea, but Queen Guo's.
She frowned and thought, "Will it be dangerous for my mother to go?"
