Chapter 638: Not to be told
"You're pregnant, don't let anyone bump into you. Stay inside. I'll go see what's going on and tell you when I come back."
Qiao Jingru's belly was slightly bulging. She touched her belly and her face looked extremely ugly.
Lu Chao coaxed softly, "I know you're worried about Xiangxiang, but the situation is still unknown, and you have to protect yourself. Our house is surrounded, and we don't know what will happen next. We can't mess up, be obedient!"
Qiao Jingru pursed her lips and said nothing.
After a while, she nodded reluctantly.
The Lu Mansion was surrounded suddenly. They could not get any news from the outside, and the news from the outside could not come in for the time being. No one knew who was outside.
But one thing is certain: he has bad intentions.
Lu Xiang didn't know whether he was safe in the palace.
If these people dared to trap them, then what about the mansions of other officials and families in the capital?
Everyone was feeling extremely uneasy, but no one dared to show it for fear of causing greater panic.
"Be careful." Qiao Jingru pulled Lu Chao's sleeve and warned him anxiously.
"good."
As Lu Chao spoke, he asked Liangchen to take good care of Qiao Jingru, and then went to the front yard.
However, when he arrived at the front yard, he saw that the door to the main hall was closed, and his father was pacing back and forth anxiously with his hands behind his back.
"Dad, why are you outside and not coming in?"
Lu Youping glared at his son and said, "Zuo Shiwen wants to see your grandmother alone."
"Why? Is it about the third sister?"
"Who knows? We are completely in the dark right now and don't know anything. But to have the Minister of Justice come here in person must be a big deal. I wonder if something has happened to your third sister?"
"Didn't you ask Lord Zuo?" Lu Chao asked.
Lu Youping glanced at him and said in a dark tone, "You know Zuo Shiwen's stubborn temper. If he doesn't want to talk about something, it will be useless even if you put a knife to his neck."
Lu Chao: “…”
The father and son looked at each other and could only wait outside.
Soon, the door to the main hall opened and Zuo Shiwen walked out with a serious expression.
Lu Youping hurriedly went up to him and said, "Master Zuo, what happened? Is it related to Xiangxiang?"
Zuo Shiwen said in a businesslike manner: "Sir Lu, I'm sorry I can't tell you. You will know what happened sooner or later. I will come again if you have any questions. Goodbye."
When Lu Youping heard this, he gritted his teeth in anger.
So he turned his head and looked at the old lady: "Mom, what did he say?"
Lu Chao also looked at her without blinking.
The old lady suppressed her shock and uneasiness, and looked at the father and son in front of her with a cold expression: "Lord Zuo just asked some questions about Xiangxiang. Let's go back. Chao'er, Jingru is pregnant and her mood is unstable. You should comfort her well."
After that, the old lady took Mother Wen's hand and left.
She needed to digest the news she had just heard.
The fact that Zuo Shiwen was the Thirteenth Prince's man was shocking enough, but what really made her worried and terrified was that Lu Xiang was slandered by the Queen Mother for murder in the palace.
The Queen Mother's move was clearly intended to take Lu Xiang's life. If the person who took her away was not Zuo Shiwen, she would have been tortured into confessing.
As I was thinking about this, I stumbled and almost fell to the ground, frightening Mother Wen to the point of almost losing her soul.
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
The old lady shook her head.
Although Zuo Shiwen didn't say much, the old lady understood that things were going to change. The only consolation she had was that Lu Xiang was temporarily safe.
