Chapter 410: Leave Beijing as Soon as Possible
It started raining in the second half of the night.
The drizzle didn't stop until morning, hanging densely in front of my eyes like a big net. When the wind blew, the rain curtain slanted, running towards the distance like thin threads.
"Madam." A maid hurried into the room and bowed to Liu Anyao who was dressing up, saying, "Madam Fang wants to see you."
Liu Anyao was slightly stunned and said, "Hurry up and ask her to come in."
Mother Fang was the maid who stayed at the house to take care of Mother Qin yesterday. She came to see her so early in the morning. Could it be that Mother Qin was not feeling well?
Just as she was thinking about it, Mother Fang stepped over the threshold and walked into the house, kneeling down in front of Liu Anyao.
"Madam, please forgive me. I woke up this morning and found that Mama Qin was missing." Mama Fang reported anxiously.
"What do you mean she's gone?" Liu Anyao frowned and asked, "Where can she go when she's so badly injured?"
Mother Fang lowered her head and said, "I don't know either. She was still in her room before I went to bed last night. When I woke up this morning, I found the room empty. She was seriously injured and definitely couldn't leave. It rained at night, so it was more like...she was taken away by someone."
"She's just a slave. Who would take her away when they have nothing to do after eating?" Liu Anyao slammed the table and said angrily.
She couldn't even keep an eye on a person, which made her so angry.
"Madam, the Lu family." Shuhua suddenly thought of something and spoke.
Liu Anyao looked at the calligraphy and painting behind her through the bronze mirror, paused, then raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you talking about Lu Xiang?"
"Mother Qin is a servant from the Lu family. I heard that she came to Lu Mingzhu later and entered the Xiao Mansion as a dowry. Maybe she was under Lu Xiang's command before that. Otherwise, why was she taken away as soon as Mother Qin got into trouble? Apart from the Lu family, who else can Mother Qin be useful to?"
The Xiao family had kept Lu Mingzhu's miscarriage a secret and had not reported it to the Lu family at all, in order to prepare for Lu Mingzhu to die of illness to reduce trouble. How did the Lu family know about Qin Mama's accident so quickly? Obviously, they had been keeping an eye on her, so they could take Qin Mama away just after she was settled.
When Liu Anyao heard this, her eyes suddenly turned cold: "Lu Xiang, this bitch, I really underestimated her, what does she want to do?"
"Maybe he wanted Mother Qin to stay with Lu Mingzhu and tried to use Lu Mingzhu to deal with the lady. But he didn't expect Lu Mingzhu to be so stupid and bring about her own death. It was not possible for Mother Qin to stay in the Xiao Mansion any longer, so she took her away overnight." Shuhua guessed.
Liu Anyao was so angry that her body was shaking.
Damn it, she almost fell into Lu Xiang's trap again.
I should not have kept the old hag Qin alive.
Shuhua was frightened by the ferocity on Liu Anyao's face, and hurriedly comforted her, "Madam, calm down. Now that Lu Mingzhu has been eliminated, Lu Xiang can no longer reach the Xiao Mansion."
"I don't want one thing, but I can't stand being forced to give it up. Shuhua, pass the order down. Dig three feet into the ground and find Mother Qin for me." Liu Anyao gritted her teeth in hatred.
Mother Qin, a little dog slave, actually dared to play tricks on her. She would never let her go.
No one could deceive her and get away with it.
"Yes, Madam." Shuhua replied respectfully, paused, and then asked: "What if she is sent out of the capital?"
"Go to her hometown and arrest her family. I don't believe she can continue hiding." Liu Anyao said with a gloomy look.
At the same time, Lu Xiang went to Zhaocai Dufang in the rain, and the doctor accompanied him.
"Third Miss." Huo Yi called out with a fist.
Lu Xiang nodded and asked, "There was no emergency last night, right?"
Mother Qin was scolded and was afraid that the wound would suddenly become infected and inflamed, which would be troublesome.
Huo Yi replied, "She has been in a coma since Ah Man brought her here. I stayed with her all night. Mother Qin groaned from time to time due to pain, but she did not have a fever or faint."
Lu Xiang nodded in understanding and then went into the house.
She originally wanted to ask Ah Man to take Mother Qin away after the people from the Xiao Mansion sent her out, but she didn't expect that Liu An Yao would actually place her in a house and even ask a doctor to treat Mother Qin's injuries.
Liu Anyao's thoughts were self-evident. It was also thanks to her bad intentions that she wanted to take advantage of Qin's mother, so she asked a doctor to treat her in time.
Mother Qin had already woken up. Seeing Lu Xiang, she weakly shouted, "This servant greets the Third Miss."
"Mother Qin, please lie down and don't move." Lu Xiang said.
Then she asked the doctor to take Qin's mother's pulse.
"Can she ride in a carriage with such injuries?" Lu Xiang asked the doctor.
The doctor hesitated for a moment and said, "It is not advisable to move him. If he must ride in a carriage, he must be carefully watched. A thick mattress should be laid in the carriage to prevent the wound from getting worse. He should also not be tired from riding in the carriage for a long time."
"How is her injury?" Lu Xiang asked again worriedly.
The doctor said, "The wound was treated promptly. Although it is a bit serious, it won't leave any root of disease if she rests well. So it's best to wait for her to recover for a few days before riding in the carriage."
"I understand." Lu Xiang nodded.
"I'll prescribe some medicine for oral administration." the doctor said again.
"Okay, thank you doctor. Huo Yi, go with the doctor to get the medicine." Lu Xiang said.
Huo Yi responded and left with the doctor.
Lu Xiang sat down beside the bed. She looked at Mother Qin and said, "Mother Qin, I must send you out of the capital as soon as possible. Liu Anyao must have guessed that I took you away. I'm afraid she will have to ask people to search the entire capital to find you. It would be a waste of time. We should not stay here any longer. With her status, it would be easy for her to ask the guards at the city gate to keep an eye on you. Now that she has no time to reach out to the city gate, I will send you out of the city and find a place to recover slowly in Lincheng."
Mother Qin listened quietly and said, "I will follow Third Young Miss's instructions."
"I have already taken your family from their hometown and settled them in Zezhou. When your injury allows you to travel, someone will take you there to reunite with them." Lu Xiang said, pulling out a piece of paper from his waist: "This is your indenture, keep it safe."
Mother Qin gave Lu Xiang a grateful smile: "Thank you, Third Miss."
From now on, she is free and can live with her son, enjoying the happiness of playing with her grandchildren.
It's worth getting a beating.
Lu Xiang then placed a purse in Mother Qin's hand and said, "Here is one thousand taels, enough for your family to live on for the rest of their lives. I have no other requests. I hope you can keep your mouth shut and not mention anything about this capital to anyone else."
Mother Qin said sternly, "Don't worry, Third Miss. From now on, I will keep everything in the capital to myself. If you dare to reveal a word to me, I will have no descendants. I cannot accept this money. Third Miss has already given me enough."
Lu Xiang: "Take it. I will feel more at ease if you take it."
The silver and goods have been paid, and no one owes the other anything.
Mother Qin understood what Lu Xiang meant and nodded slightly.
