After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 376 Afterwards
By the time Mrs. Ma returned to the upper room of the main courtyard, Wu Qiong was fully convinced of Haitang and accepted her proposal. He solemnly stated that he would pay close attention to the words and deeds of his mother Gui Madam in the future, and would not be afraid of her "confused" behavior. Try your best to stop it.

If she couldn't persuade her mother, she would immediately seek help from others, including but not limited to her cousin Wu Ke, everyone in the Zhenguo Palace, and the Hai family brothers and sisters.

Today, the Hai family rescued Wu Qiong from the Sun family's minions, thus saving Wu Qiong's life. As long as the Hai family did not turn their anger on Wu Qiong for Mrs. Gui's betrayal, Wu Qiong could regard Haitang as his close friend. When needed, she can send letters to Haitang at any time. Haitang promised that he could help her come up with ideas if he could.

Wu Qiong got Haitang's promise and felt much relieved. As the victim of being implicated by Mrs. Gui, although the Hai family was angry, they only blamed Mrs. Gui and had no intention of angering her. This made her feel much better and would not make her feel uneasy in the Hai family.

However, when Mrs. Ma came into the room and told her that Mrs. Wednesday and Mrs. Thursday had just arrived and were here to take her back to the Zhenguo Palace, she suddenly became nervous again.

The Hai family, the sufferer, didn't blame her, but the Zhou family, the sufferer... I'm afraid it's not that easy to talk to.

Wu Qiong lowered his head, drumming in his heart, and cautiously greeted the two Mrs. Zhou who came in. However, Mrs. Wednesday and Mrs. Thursday were as enthusiastic and caring as before. They didn't seem to blame her. They even asked about her injuries with concern, fearing that she was frightened.

Mrs. Wednesday and Mrs. Thursday chatted with Ma for a while and told them the whole story, how many casualties there were, the amount of losses, etc., and then they took Wu Qiong back to the Zhenguo Palace.

Wu Qiong looked back at Haitang in panic. Haitang nodded to her: "Sister Wu, go back and have a good rest. Don't think too much. I'll see you again when I have free time another day."

Wu Qiong calmed down a little after hearing this, and forced a smile: "Okay, then you must come." She shook Haitang's hand reluctantly, and then left with Mrs. Wednesday and Mrs. Thursday.

After they left, the Hai family finally returned to peace.

Aunt Cui and her people were cleaning up the broken things in the front yard, while Ma was in the upper room calculating today's losses, and the more he calculated, the more distressed he became.

Haitang took the opportunity to inquire about the specific news that Mrs. Wednesday and Mrs. Thursday mentioned when they came. Ma replied casually: "Several servants in the Zhou family died, and they were all tricked by Mrs. Gui. I heard that she took her daughter out, Tete called the son of the girl who had served the old lady in the past, and asked them not to tell the Zhou family what they were going to do. The coachman was also confused. At first, he listened to the mother and daughter and ran to another courtyard privately. , after being robbed, he continued to listen to her instigation and went to another courtyard to arrest the young lady of the Zhou family? Fortunately, he had not lost his conscience and did not dare to betray his master. When those gangsters wanted to hurt Miss Xuejun, He stood in the way and lost his life, but it was regarded as making amends, and his family would not be kicked out of the mansion. But from now on, no one in the Duke's mansion would dare to believe Mrs. Gui's lies! "

I see. If the person driving the carriage is the driver of the fourth room of the Zhou family in the Zhenguo Palace, then no wonder the servants from other courtyards will open the door. This driver must be one of the people she saw lying on the ground earlier, right? Because his mother had a master-servant relationship with Mrs. Wu Zhou, the old aunt of the Zhou family, the coachman was willing to obey Mrs. Gui's orders, even to the detriment of the real master's interests. Now that he has lost his life, he will surely become a negative example that shocks the people in the Zhenguo Duke's mansion. It will not be so easy for Mrs. Gui to use her late mother-in-law's name to deceive the servants of the Zhou family again in the future.

Haitang straightened out her thoughts and turned around to hear Ma continue to talk: "What an unreasonable disaster! Several people in the Zhou family died. Even Miss Xuejun injured her knee. I heard she can't walk now. Thursday Madam originally planned to take her daughter to Beijing, but now she can only let Miss Xuejun stay in Chang'an to recuperate."

Haitang was surprised: "Is Mr. Xue seriously injured? I heard from her that she just scratched a little skin!"

Ma said: "What Mrs. Zhou just told me personally, can it be false? Miss Xuejun must be afraid that you will worry, so she refused to tell the truth. In fact, after she returned home and checked, her family knew that she had injured her knee. incredible."

Haitang felt a little uneasy when she heard this: "I didn't notice it at all at the time. I thought she just had a fall. I even asked her to run to the garden to report to Sister Wenjun! Could it make her injury worse?" Ma Surprised: "What do you mean by that? Go and have a look. If it's really you who caused the harm, we have to apologize to General Thursday and Mrs. Thursday! When Mrs. Thursday came just now, she didn't even mention it..."

Haitang stood up immediately: "I'm going to find someone to ask." After saying that, he left the upper room and saw his grandfather Hai Xiya walking in from outside: "I heard about it in the Yamen. How is your grandmother? Everyone in the family is Are you okay?"

As soon as Haitang explained to her grandfather that everyone in the family was fine, Ma came out and said, "Don't worry, sir, everyone in the family is fine. This girl, Tangtang, is a good girl. She saw a gangster fighting with the guards in the second courtyard." , I immediately asked Jinhua and Caixia to close the courtyard gate without asking the bad guys to come behind."

In the west chamber, Mrs. Hu also came out to see her grandfather with her son Xiao Shitou in her arms. Hai Changan is still dealing with the aftermath in the front yard, but the mother and son were not frightened and are currently emotionally stable.

Hai Xiya touched her grandson's face, comforted her daughter-in-law, and then entered the upper room with her wife. He wanted to find out clearly from Ma what happened today.

Haitang caught a glimpse of no one in the east wing and felt puzzled. She originally thought that her brother Hai Jiao would stay at home today to protect and accompany Jin Jiashu. Unexpectedly, there was such a big commotion at home, but he didn't even show his face. Are you going out now? Where will he go at this critical moment?
She raised her feet and went to the second hospital.

Aunt Cui had just led people to clean up the damaged flower troughs. Cui Dazhuang also took his son Cui Xiaodao to climb to the roofs of the two small houses to repair the roof tiles that had been trampled by the gangsters. However, there was no damage to the wall that Haitang had stepped on. The two guards sent by the Zhou family were divided into two groups. One stayed behind and retreated to continue to protect Jin Jiashu in the main house opposite, while the other escorted the criminal back to the Zhen Guogong Mansion. There are still several Zhou family soldiers in the front yard, so there is no need to worry that the Hai family's protective strength will be weakened because of one less person.

Haitang saw Jin Jiashu in the house and Hai Jiao sitting opposite him talking. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly knocked on the door and entered the house: "Brother, where have you been today? When the bad guy came in just now, you were not there!"

Hai Jiao said hurriedly: "When Grandpa Cao came back from outside, he heard that the carriage of the Wu family's female family members was intercepted by the Sun family. After he returned home, he mentioned that his cousin was very worried, so I went to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion to inquire. News. Who would have thought that after traveling around the city, they would come to our house? When I heard about it at the Zhenguo Palace, I almost broke out in a cold sweat!"

Fortunately, the gangster chose to use the threat of hostages rather than just barging in with a knife to kill, so that the second uncle Hai Changan and the two Zhou family guards were not in a hurry. After hearing the news, my little sister rushed back with people from the Zhou Family Courtyard to help, which was even more unexpected.

Haijiao pulled Haitang and looked him up and down: "I heard that you jumped from a wall more than two feet high? Are you injured?"

"Who spread this rumor? I jumped from the wall of this courtyard. I am only about a foot tall. How could I be injured easily?" Haitang waved his hand, "Brother, stop listening to other people's nonsense. I won’t do anything I’m not sure about.”

Hai Jiao raised his eyebrows and looked back at Jin Jiashu: "My sister said you were spreading rumors. What do you say?"

Haitang looked at Jin Jiashu in surprise. Did he say this?
