Chapter 110: Family in Danger, Return Home Quickly
There are always some things that are not suitable to do during the day and have to be left until the evening.
"Miss Yaoguang, why are you here so late at night?" Ding Mao rubbed his sleepy eyes. He remembered that he had seen Yaoguang in the morning and thought that Yaoguang would come tomorrow morning.
"I'm here to find that person." Yaoguang said as she jumped off the wall.
"The person is in the woodshed..." Ding Mao held a lantern to lead the way for Yaoguang, and hung the lantern in the woodshed. "You two can chat slowly."
As soon as the door of the woodshed closed, Lu Chunqiu stared at Yaoguang with an extremely terrified look.
He thought about it for the whole day but couldn't figure it out. He was clearly in the palace, so how did he find himself in such a place when he opened his eyes!
And why is the little girl in front of me so cruel?
Yaoguang did not give Lu Chunqiu much time to think. She directly hypnotized him using the old method and asked him some details about his cousin's disappearance.
They watched their cousin escape and even found his footprints, but they lost him after searching for several days.
There were several witnesses involved in this incident, all of whom are currently on the run from the law. Fortunately, two of them are still in Beijing.
Just two, two will do.
Yaoguang spent some time looking for the two people again. She woke them up from their dreams and went deeper into their dreams. She repeatedly confirmed that the person they wanted to catch was Qiao Xun, and asked them for the direction of Qiao Xun's escape.
Now, you can start targeting!
Yaoguang currently has no idea why her cousin did not go home or return to the capital after being chased by someone.
Could it be that his leg was injured and he couldn't walk easily? Considering the medical technology of this era, this is indeed possible.
Another possibility is that they knew that the rebels were looking for them, so they did not dare to show up in public.
Will my cousin be able to return safely once the rebels are quiet?
Thinking of this possibility, Yaoguang began to act.
With the help of the information collected from Lu Chunqiu, Yaoguang conducted a thorough investigation of the rebels in the capital, collecting information about all the rebels and writing down their names and locations on paper.
She also wrote down the hiding places of some key figures outside the city, and packed them up along with Lu Chunqiu and sent them to the gate of the Ministry of Justice.
In a similar way to last time, Yaoguang hung Lu Chunqiu upside down at the door of the criminal department, but this time there was an extra booklet underneath.
The Ministry of Justice is not like the Jingzhao Prefecture. People coming in and out are all prominent figures in the capital! They don't get to handle ordinary cases!
So when Lu Chunqiu was discovered early in the morning, the Ministry of Justice was in an uproar.
It is said that the clerk who first discovered the matter opened the booklet below and found a list of important people on it. He hid the booklet directly in his clothes and handed it to a superior official. He then locked Lu Chunqiu up in the Tianlao, treating him as a drunken scoundrel who came to cause trouble.
When the official opened the booklet, he felt that he was holding a hot potato in his hand, but he still took a closer look and found a method that he could trust and was quite safe.
He desperately begged to see the prince and handed him this list!
He also told him that Crown Prince Lu Chunqiu was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison and had been hidden.
The prince thought it was just a farce at first, until he opened the list and found out something important: the whole government had been infiltrated by the rebels! Many of them were powerful people!
The prince, who had originally doubted the authenticity of the list, no longer cared about anything else. If it was true, the dynasty would be in danger!
The prince immediately copied a copy of the list and hid it, then brought the other one into the palace to present to the emperor.
Yaoguang herself didn't know that such a small incident on her way to find her cousin made the entire imperial city tremble.
The next morning, Yaoguang went to the bakery to busy herself, planning to adjust her marketing strategy.
The Xu family's carriage slowly drove towards Jiangping Lane.
In fact, even if Xu Yi didn't mention it, Madam Ji also planned to send servants to deliver gifts and apologize to Yaoguang.
The main reason was that a birthday banquet had just been held and the house was in a mess. There were also gifts and various items sent by the guests that needed to be counted, as well as relatives from other branches who needed to be entertained, so the family was extremely busy.
But after seeing the sword, Mrs. Ji decisively pushed the work in her hands to her sister-in-law, and went to the house in person with her son, bringing carefully selected gifts.
However, the Wei family's concierge was surprised for a long time after seeing the visiting card. Why did the Xu family come in person? And it was the Xu family's wife and son!
What happened that day was so serious? The Xu family came to ask for an explanation?
It was early in the morning, and after paying their respects to Mrs. Song, everyone was still talking together. As the people from the third branch had just returned home, they chatted in a friendly manner for a while longer.
When the gatekeeper's servant brought the news into the house, the whole house fell silent.
Su Yueqin held the handkerchief in her hand, and her beautiful eyes looked around to gauge the reactions of everyone in the room.
At this moment, all the people staying in the backyard were the women and children from the Wei family's rear house. The master of the family was either attending court or going to the government office.
The only person who was still there was Wei Qiye from the third room. He was preparing to return to Beijing to report on his work and was writing official documents in his study.
Yu looked at Song's expression for a while and said, "Mother, Lao Liu is still in the mansion! Since there is a male guest, call Lao Liu to the front hall to entertain him."
Song nodded grimly, "Go ahead."
Su Yueqin pursed her lips, feeling that the situation was not good! If the Xu family really came to make things difficult for her, and asked her husband to go, wouldn't it make her husband lose face in front of the Xu family?
My husband still wants to stay in the capital. If he has a rift with the Xu family, it will be difficult to do so. But it is not right to not let him go.
No matter how hard we look, we must find the culprit!
Su Yueqin had no choice but to step forward, responded to Song's words, and said she would go back to the yard to call for help.
As soon as he left Song's courtyard, he called his personal maid to his side and ordered her, "Go to the academy to find the fourth master, and be quick! Tell him that I have something urgent to discuss with him, and ask him to return home quickly."
Just after giving the order, Su Yueqin was worried that Wei Qichen would not come. She rubbed her brows and said, "Go and take out the butterfly jade pendant at the bottom of my dressing box and give half of it to the fourth master!"
The butterfly jade pendant was given to her by Wei Qichen's mother after they became engaged. She said it was passed down from their ancestors.
The entire jade pendant is made of two thin pieces of jade spliced together and intertwined like a button. The butterfly can be separated into two halves, one wing on each side.
The marriage didn't go through and she never had the chance to return it.
She knew that Wei Qichen might not pay attention to her, but with the jade pendant, he might come.
Looking at the maid's hurried back, Su Yueqin hurried to the courtyard of the third room and told her husband about the Xu family's visit, hoping that he would be extremely careful.
Although they came uninvited, this group of people had been waiting for a long time.
Xu Yi watched the maid come over to refill his tea for the third time. Just as he was about to ask when he could see Yaoguang, he heard the maid say that the master from the backyard had arrived.
