Don't panic, my mother and I are dressed as Houfu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

Chapter 238 Lynching
Seeing this, the little girl hurriedly took the lead and stopped in front of her, opening her hands and shaking her head anxiously with her big eyes.

Gu Qingyou paused: "I just walked around casually and didn't go far."

Even so, he didn't move forward.

Come to think of it, it's not my home after all, and it seems impolite to wander around.

Seeing that she was no longer moving forward, the little girl breathed a sigh of relief, then pointed to the sun in the sky, then to the west, and finally to the door, making a walking gesture with her index and middle fingers.

Gu Qingyou said uncertainly: "You mean, someone will come when the sun sets?"

The little girl's eyes lit up and she nodded happily.

Gu Qingyou didn't know the way, so it was inappropriate to go out rashly. It would be better to wait for the master to come and ask for the route back to the city before leaving.

After being in coma for several days, his body was still weak. After standing under the sun for a while, he felt dizzy and short of breath. Gu Qingyou motioned for the little girl to go back to the room with him. As soon as he turned around, the courtyard door was pushed open.

She stopped, but was stunned by the person who came.

"Buchai?!"

Didn't he go to the northwest camp with Song Hengye?

As if he didn't expect that she had woken up, Bu Zhan was stunned at first. Hearing her soft call, his originally worried face showed joy. Then he walked quickly to her side and handed the food box in his hand to the little girl next to him. Then he cupped his hands and said: "Miss, are you finally awake? It's windy outside. Please go back to the house and rest."

Gu Qingyou endured the dizziness and looked behind him, but there was no sign of Song Hengye. He felt a little disappointed, but he quickly covered it up and asked: "It was you... who saved me?"

Bu Tian knew what she wanted to ask, and told the little girl: "Take this ginseng soup to the kitchen to heat it up, and then give it to the lady to drink."

After sending the person away, Bu Zhen looked around worriedly and said to Gu Qingyou, "Miss, please move."

When Gu Qingyou walked into the door, Bu Zhan said in a low voice through the door: "The young lady was indeed rescued by the general, but he returned to Beijing secretly this time and it was inconvenient to show up."

"You mean, Hengye came back secretly and didn't report it to the emperor?"

Gu Qingyou covered his mouth in surprise. Any soldiers who were ordered to go to the military camp were not allowed to return to Beijing without an order, otherwise they would be dealt with according to military law.

Of course she would not naively think that Song Hengye came back this time for her. Obviously, he had more important things.

But what needs to be hidden from the emperor? Could it be related to Song Lian?
No wonder he rescued her, but didn't send her back directly. Instead, he found this villa, presumably because he was afraid of exposing his whereabouts.

Since the matter was serious, she stopped talking and thought of another important matter: "By the way, where is Shuangsheng? Have you ever found her?"

A flash of distress flashed in Bu Zhui's eyes, which was soon replaced by happiness, and he said with relief: "Don't worry, Miss, Shuang Sheng has been found. She woke up two days earlier than you and has been clamoring to come to see you. In the end, the old lady personally found her." She stopped."

Mentioning Xue Lan, Gu Qingyou's heart tightened. She had been missing for so many days, and her mother must have been very anxious. Logically speaking, she had been rescued, and with her temperament, she would have been unable to resist coming, but she didn't come for some reason.

Bu Gai lowered his head and couldn't see her expression, so he lowered his voice and said, "When the old lady learned that you were kidnapped by Meng Yan, she immediately ordered people to control the entire Meng family. Meng Yan was even tortured in the dungeon. If he hadn't cared about the man in the palace, he would have been chopped into pieces." Gu Qingyou was shocked: "How could mother be so impulsive?"

No matter how bad Meng Yan is, Concubine Meng is still sitting in the position of concubine. In order to vent her anger, my mother has completely offended the Meng family. Aren't you afraid of Concubine Meng's revenge on the Duke's palace?

Bu Tian felt that Xue Lan's approach was enough to relieve his anger. He had followed Song Hengye for a long time and knew his general's intentions very clearly. If nothing unexpected happened, Miss Gu would sooner or later become the general's wife and his mistress.

He only thought that Xue Lan stood up for Gu Qingyou because he knew Song Hengye's intentions. Even if he thought it was a bit excessive, he supported it.

"Don't worry, young lady, the old lady dared to do this because she had already planned it and would not let the Duke's government suffer."

Bu Zhen couldn't bear her worry and told Xue Lan's plan.

"On the second day after you disappeared, the old lady entered the palace in plain clothes and faced His Majesty directly. She failed to fulfill her husband's instructions and failed to take good care of the orphan girl of her old friend. First, you were persecuted by Concubine Meng, and then by Meng Guifei. She was abducted by Yan and her whereabouts are unknown. It was in vain that the Duke devoted herself to protect the Lord, but was so humiliated by the concubine after her death. As a widow, she had no shame in going to see the Duke. She just wanted to be killed in front of the emperor and let him do it for him. The Duke's office upholds justice."

Xue Lan's move was indeed a risky move. First, the emperor and the empress had an unclear attitude towards the Duke's mansion, and now they are falling out with the Meng family. The situation is like a fire. If one is not careful, the entire mansion will be in ruins.

But her daughter's sin could not be in vain. She was almost heartbroken when she heard Song Hengye describe the scene of rescuing Youyou that day. Then she went to the dungeon alone and beat Meng Yan half to death.

Meng Yan had just recovered from the fear of being imprisoned, and felt relieved in his heart. Fortunately, he kidnapped Gu Qingyou just to intimidate her, and did not order her to suffer physical pain. When Xue Lan found her, he committed suicide. Will let him go.

Who wants to spend a few days in a dungeon, but the good news is not waiting for him, but he is waiting for a whipping.

Although he was not a noble person since he was a child, he was pampered by the Meng family and grew up. Now he is tied up in this dark place and being tortured. From shock to fear, from fear to anger, he has even forgotten his honorific title. , said loudly: "Madam, if you dare to torture someone, aren't you afraid that the noble concubine will pursue you in the future?!"

"I'm after your mother!"

Xue Lan was not moved at all. When he was tired from the beating, he dipped the whip in chili pepper water, rested for a few breaths, and continued to wave the whip expressionlessly.

If Youyou dies, what's the point of staying alone in this world?
This bastard could be buried with them, which was a bit of an advantage for him.

Meng Yan's shouting voice became weaker and weaker. Seeing Xue Lan losing her mind, he finally did not dare to anger her anymore and instead begged for mercy: "My nephew really doesn't know where Miss Gu is. Instead of killing me, madam, it is better to let me out. Send the Meng family’s servants to search together.”

"If you hadn't kidnapped Yuyou, how could anything have happened to her?! Even ten of your rotten lives are not enough to compensate you!"

Meng Yan was tied up hand and foot, and was beaten to pieces with a whip that covered his head and face. He was angry and confused, but he couldn't even hide. He was really afraid that he would be beaten to death. He cried unwillingly: "I'm just an orphan." Girl, if you die, you will die. Aren’t you afraid that what you are doing today will bring disaster to the Duke’s palace?”

Even if my sister is not completely back in favor now, she is still the emperor's person after all. As the brother of the imperial concubine, if she is really beaten to death, the emperor will never let her go mercilessly.

Xue Lan's eyes were red, and he was waving his arms mechanically. Hearing that he was uttering arrogant words when he was about to die, the strength of his hands increased and he said angrily: "Okay! Then let me see if the emperor will do anything for you." The bastard destroyed the Duke's mansion!"

It wasn't until Meng Yan passed out covered in blood that Xue Lan threw down the whip and walked out of the dungeon and went straight to the palace.
