Rebirth: Hug Chu Guogong's Thigh Tightly

Chapter 182 Zongren Mansion

As the carriage rumbled away, it finally landed outside a high-gate courtyard.

"Please, Lord Yong'an~"

Xia Keyu heard someone saying to her, and the car curtain was opened. Xia Keyu looked outside. Under the blue sky, what came into view was a heavily guarded house.

The surroundings of the house are mottled gray and bare, with not a single tree in sight, which adds a bit of depression.

Xia Keyu let the guards take her in.

The first step is to have someone search her body to prevent her from bringing in any sharp weapons or poisons.

Xia Keyu was taken to a simple room by a sallow-faced nanny.

"Please cooperate with the county master and take off your clothes."

Mammy said coldly.The words seemed polite, but in fact the tone was full of indifference and disdain.

Anyone who can enter this sect's mansion must be a noble relative of the emperor. But once they enter the sect's mansion, no matter how powerful they are, they will become prisoners.

Very few people can get out.

Seeing this, Xia Keyu took off a gold bracelet from his hand and handed it over, smiling and saying: "Please take care of me."

No matter how cold-blooded the mama is, it’s hard not to be moved when she sees such a rich gift.

After all, people die for money and birds die for food.Seeing that in a few years, I have to consider the money for retirement.

He quickly looked around and saw no one else outside the house. He quickly took the gold bracelet, stuffed it into his sleeve, and said coldly as usual:
"Easy to say." His tone was obviously softened.

When Xia Keyu was searched, he just did it hastily and did not take away the jewelry on her head or the golden melon seeds on her body.

After all, these prisoners still have another chance to face the saint, and the servants are not willing to offend them at this time.

Xia Keyu was assigned to a room facing the sun, probably because of her use of money.

She didn't take off her shoes, but just lay on the bed in a daze, thinking about how she had offended the emperor.
After thinking about it, Xia Keyu realized that it didn't matter who she was or what she had done. Who she represented was the most important.

She is the nominal fiancée of Duke Chu and a member of the prince's party.Now that the third prince and fifth princess have suffered successive defeats, with her help, the prince's party is growing stronger in the court.

For the emperor, this was not what he wanted to see.The emperor's move was probably to suppress the prince's party by imprisoning her.

The art of an emperor often lies in finding a balance.

After figuring this out, Xia Keyu suddenly felt enlightened and his expression became more and more leisurely.

Xia Keyu in the clan's mansion was calm and composed, but things were already exploding outside.

At the Duke of Chu's Mansion

The first time Aunt Chu learned about this, she suppressed her joy, pretended to frown, showed a worried look, and hurriedly walked towards Mrs. Chu's room.

"Mom, have you heard? The Lord of Yong'an County next door was captured by Jin Yiwei's people."

Mrs. Chu had already learned about this from her servants, and nodded calmly.

Second Aunt Chu pretended to be worried and said: "Brother Yuan is not here either, what should we do?"

Mrs. Chu raised her eyelids slightly and asked, "What do you think?"

Aunt Chu immediately sat down, sighed first, then shook her head and said:

"Mother, in my opinion, this Yong'an County Lord has offended His Majesty, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with. I heard that she made His Majesty very angry. Fortunately, she hasn't been involved yet, as long as our family is clean The relationship should not implicate us."

When Mrs. Chu heard this, she said oh and continued to ask: "In your opinion, how should we clear up the relationship?" Second Aunt Chu was not stupid. She immediately realized that there was something in what Mrs. Chu said and hurriedly evaded it. :

"Mom, I am a woman, how can I understand this?"

Mrs. Chu said with a smile, "Rather than just letting the wind turn into rain, it's better to live a stable life. This matter will be dealt with naturally when Yuan'er comes back."

The implication is that it is impossible for the Duke of Chu's government to just sit idly by and ignore Xia Keyu's arrest.

Aunt Chu's smile froze on her face, almost stiffer than a corpse that had been dead for three days.

As soon as she exited, she grabbed her handkerchief bitterly and forced herself back to her yard.

By chance, an ignorant maid came up and asked, "Second Madam, what should I do with the new batch of fabrics sent to my house?"

Aunt Chu's face was full of anger and she said: "What a cold-blooded thing, you come to ask me everything. You say it as if I know it. Aunt Li, give me a slap."

Aunt Li knew very well that her master had suffered a lot from the old lady and was just criticizing her to vent her anger.

Then he went up, opened his bow from left to right, and gave the little maid ten blows to her mouth. The corners of her mouth became swollen after the blows.

Only then did Aunt Chu go back to the house with satisfaction.

A little maid saw this scene secretly and quietly informed Mrs. Chu about it.

Mrs. Chu was admiring the jade Ruyi in her hand. When she heard the sound, she just said lightly to the grandmother beside her:
"The second wife crawled out of my mother's belly after all."

As he said that, he reached out and handed Yu Ruyi to Grandma, picked up the handkerchief, wiped his hands carefully, and continued:

"Your Majesty's move is a slap in the face of our government, and he is taking the opportunity to beat the crown prince. However, some people only have personal interests as big as sesame seeds in their eyes and cannot see this clearly."

Mammy smiled and said: "What the old lady said is that our family and the prince are both prosperous and destructive."

Mrs. Chu nodded.

On the other side, Xia Keyu was lying in the room when he suddenly heard the sound of a woman singing opera outside, which was not clear in bits and pieces.

It seems to be singing something like "The flowers in the south of the Yangtze River are long and the water is long, and people go to Qinhuai to relieve their worries."

The woman's voice was hoarse and a bit desolate, which seemed extremely strange in this silent clan mansion.

Xia Keyu hurriedly lay down at the door. Through the crack in the door, he saw an old woman in her sixties with gray hair among the nuns.

It seems that the opera singer is this old woman.

Xia Keyu knew very well that a woman who could be imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion and still turn gray was definitely not an ordinary person.

She was very interested in this old woman, and she deliberately knocked the teapot on the table to the ground, and then made a sound.

The guards outside the house heard the sound and hurriedly went to find grandma to come in and check.

Xia Keyu pointed to the fragments of the teapot on the ground with an innocent face and said, "I accidentally knocked over the teapot."

While grandma was lowering her head to clean up, Xia Keyu also knelt down, handed her another golden hairpin, and said in a low voice:
"Who is that woman outside? If mama can accommodate me and talk to her for a while, I would be willing to give mama another gold bracelet."

Grandma quickly took the gold hairpin and said coldly: "Just wait."

It seems to be a play.

Xia Keyu became more curious than ever about this woman's identity.
