daughter in power

Chapter 179
People take tea cold, as expected.

King Xiaoyang covered Huichunfang, and no one in Liuhuo City dared to act wildly.

Xu's cooking is excellent, so he doesn't need to go to the imperial dining room, nor does he need to cook for officials and family members.

He was happy and carefree, and even had a bit of a detached style.

Now that the power of King Xiaoyang has been overthrown, she, the beneficiary, immediately fell off the altar and became an ordinary woman.

Even low-level villains like Zhang Zhongba can get their hands on them.

Zhang Zhongba commits adultery, so you don't need to guess to know that he has the plan.

Xu's complexion turned pale, and he opened his mouth to explain: "If Commander Zhang is hungry, I can go to the kitchen to cook dishes for you. As for money, I don't take any money, and I have the right to be a filial piety."

After finishing his speech, he turned around and exited the flower hall.

"Hmph, do you think grandpa is here for dinner? Don't pretend to be confused with me. Grandpa's house is still short of a baby. If I cook for you, I think I think highly of you."

Zhang Zhongba stood up from the soft chair, kicked over the boy in white clothes who was standing stupidly by the side, and cursed: "Come on, bring her in for me!"

Immediately, two guards rushed up, trying to escort Mrs. Xu to the small wing.

Xu was shocked and refused to submit.

Qiqi anxiously: "Stop."

Everyone turned their heads to look at her. Her disguised appearance was really not pretty, and there was a scar on her left cheek.

Zhang Zhongba raised his eyebrows and sneered: "Why, with your honor, you still want to climb into Grandpa's bed? Haha..."

He laughed loudly, and raised his belt: "Forget it, let's taste the joy of master and servant today."

Seeing this, the guard hurriedly went to catch Qiqi again.

Qiqi's expression changed drastically, and she dodged away.

Yun Huaiqing took a step forward: "No one can touch Mrs. Xu."

He is quite tall and has a good figure. After changing his appearance, he looks plain and simple, and his words have no tone.

Zhang Zhongba frowned: "Who are you?"

"I'm a bodyguard hired by Mrs. Xu."

"Haha." Zhang Zhongba spat out a mouthful of saliva, and stomped his feet fiercely, as if he was stepping on an ant: "Untouchable."

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Yun Huaiqing: "How dare you fight with grandpa even if you are a pariah? Grandpa is the commander of Liuhuo City's soldiers and horses. The officials scared you to death."

He shook his finger: "You country bumpkin, stand aside, grandpa doesn't want to talk to you now. Get out!!!"

He growled.

The whole flower hall was trembling.

Officials crush people to death at the first level, not to mention the gap between officials and employees, there is a world of difference, the difference between clouds and mud.

With tears in Xu's eyes, she was struggling left and right, but the guards ignored Yun Huaiqing and Qiqi, and continued to drag her to the small wing.

It's not that Mrs. Xu doesn't understand what to do in the wing room.

But even though she is a soldier's widow, she has never experienced anything between men and women.

Immediately Huarong turned pale, and couldn't help screaming: "Zhang Zhongba, let me go, let me go..."

The scene was somewhat chaotic, and the expressions of Qiqi and Yun Huaiqing changed slightly.

But after thinking about it for a while, the two rose up almost at the same time, heading towards Zhang Zhongba.

In a flash, Zhang Zhongba was captured.

The two guards were shocked, lost Xu and fled.

Zhang Zhongba stuck his thick neck and shouted angrily: "Damn it, you two old hats dare to harm grandpa, look at grandpa..."

Yun Huaiqing raised the knife and dropped it, killing him.

Zhang Zhongba fell to the ground and died. Xu was so frightened that he screamed and fell to the ground.

Outside, the sound of footsteps hastily faded away, and it was chaotic, but no one came around.

Qiqi turned her head: "I can't stay here any longer, hurry up and leave."

Mrs. Xu forgot to move her footsteps, she just let Qiqi and the boy drag her around stupidly.

When the three of them left the flower hall, Qin Cai came up to meet them and asked, "What's going on?"

Qiqi hurriedly said: "Let's go out first."

Sure enough, Qin Cai didn't ask any more questions, and several people helped Mrs. Xu out of the Lichun Garden, and saw a group of soldiers and horse guards chasing him from a distance.

It turned out that the crowd didn't leave, but they found more reinforcements.

Thinking about it, Yun Huaiqing and Qiqi captured Zhang Zhongba effortlessly.

Dealing with these ordinary soldiers is a piece of cake.

A few of them dared not go forward, so they had to form a team to arrest people.

Qiqi is not stupid either, upon seeing this, she hurriedly urged everyone to run away.

Mrs. Xu walked slowly and needed help along the way. Everyone seemed to not dislike her dragging her down, and still led her every step of the way.

Huichunfang was originally sparsely populated, so there was no resistance to running, and of course the guards had no resistance to chasing him.

Seeing that he was about to catch up, a tall and magnificent carriage rushed out from the sideways. It was driven by an unknown person, and it almost hit Qin Cai.

As soon as Qin Cai stretched out his hand to rein in the galloping horse, he tore a dandy from the carriage, drove the carriage again, and called everyone to get on the carriage.

After Qiqi and Yun Huaiqing broke up, Mrs. Xu and Xiaotong went up first, and the other two got into the car while running.

Qin Cai's horse riding skills are top-notch, and in just a short while, he has already left the guards of the Bingma Division far behind the long street.

Several people sat in the carriage, their faces flushed and nervous.

Qin Cai said, "Where are you going?"

Qiqi's eyes flickered, and she blurted out: "Tingfeng Tower."

Tingfenglou is Qiqi's home, but it is not known how it is now.

Qin Cai agreed, and after getting rid of the guards, he did not take the remote route, but mixed into the bustling streets.

There was a lot of traffic and people, and they quickly covered their tracks.

Although the carriage was luxurious and tall, it had no distinctive features.

Mixed into the traffic flow, suddenly became inconspicuous.

It will not be easy for Bingmasi to arrest people.

After they were finally safe, Qiqi let out a sigh of relief and went to see Mrs. Xu.

Xu's eyes were full of tears, and he pretended to be calm, but his face was pale.

After this incident, these people are considered homeless.

For a while, he became a wanted criminal.

All the way to Tingfenglou, Mrs. Xu said nothing, just sat silently in front of the window.

Everyone didn't know what she was thinking, but they expected that she was not feeling well, and they couldn't be relieved.

Just like that, I arrived at the Tingfeng Tower silently, but there was a big seal outside the building.

The seals are pitch black, the walls are pitch black, and the door panels are pitch black.

The entire house was scorched and dilapidated from a distance.

There's a fire here.

Without even thinking about it, Qiqi knew that this place was set on fire.

It is by no means a natural disaster.

She sighed sadly, looked around, but saw nothing.

She jumped out of the carriage, walked to the door in a few steps, looked up at the broken door opening, tears rolled down her eyes.

It was expected that Jiang Maoyou and Mrs. Jiang would not end well, but they did not expect that the whole family would be burned to the stake.

Everything is her fault, she implicated them.

She wanted to yell at the door, but she just pushed open the dilapidated door and turned her head in a hurry: "Come in."

Naturally, the carriage is no longer available.

Qin Cai let go of the horse and pulled the carriage and ran away by himself, and entered the door together with Yun Huaiqing and the others.

There was no one around, and naturally no one noticed them.

Most importantly, this is Qiqi's natal family, and no one cares about it for about a year, so the court naturally didn't pay much attention to it.

The yard is familiar, not too big, and easy to recognize.

But the eyes are full of charcoal, the doors, windows and rafters have been burned and dilapidated, and it can no longer be lived in.

It is useless to come back here without shelter from the wind and rain.

She looked around in a blink of an eye, and then went to the Tingfeng attic.

The Tingfeng Pavilion was also burned to the ground.

The entire three-storey attic was swaying in the wind and rain.

She sighed, her eyes were red, and she silently said "Father, Mother..."

Turn around and leave.

Unexpectedly, there was a slight sound of footsteps coming from the building.

The footsteps were very light, as if deliberately avoiding people.

But she still heard.

She froze for a moment, and hurried into the attic.

The building is dark and the light is very dim.

She saw a silhouette by the window facing the water.

The skylight coming in from outside does not illuminate the house very brightly, and the silhouette is not clear.

But she instantly wet her eyes, choked up and said, "Mom...is that you?"

She didn't dare to take a step, she didn't dare to go forward, she just burst into tears like rain.

"It's my fault that caused you to become unjust souls under the Nine Springs...Mother, it's my fault that I harmed you..."

If it weren't for the choice of this beautiful daughter of Lao Shizi, if it wasn't for the experience of entering the palace, she would still be the bright and charming young lady of Linshui County.

Playing slingshots, riding horses, practicing boxing all day long, and chatting with my handsome cousin.

If it hadn't been for the past, it wouldn't be what it is now.

But, when can life expect the original?

She burst into tears, choked up and couldn't speak, she just looked at the silhouette and couldn't cry.

She never believed in ghosts and gods, but at this moment, she clearly saw Madam Jiang's soul.

In this abandoned house, in this burnt attic, under the dim light of the sky, mother's fragrant soul heard her return and appeared to meet her.

She dared not take a step.

I'm afraid that even a slight movement will startle my mother's soul.

She dared not ask.

I'm afraid that an ordinary sentence will scare away the mother's evil spirit.

She just shed tears and watched silently.

There is wind, blowing from the window, carrying a strange fragrance.

She didn't dare to blink, she just stared at it stupidly.

After a long time, a faint sound came from the house.

"Qiqi, is that you?"

The familiar voice came from that silhouette.

She was startled, and hurriedly took a step forward, but quickly stamped her feet: "Mother?"

"Qiqi, it really is you?" A more friendly call came from the window, followed by that silhouette running fast.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of her.

Mrs. Jiang's complexion was strangely pale, and she couldn't believe it: "You...you are Qiqi?"

Her face is simple and easy, only those who are familiar with her can detect her identity.

She was stunned: "Mom, are you alive?"

"Stupid child, what nonsense are you talking about? You and your father haven't hugged our grandson yet, how dare we die?" A slap on her shoulder made her a little overwhelmed.

She was shocked, the pain was so clear, the person in front of her must not be a ghost.

She hurriedly grabbed Mrs. Jiang's hand: "Mother, I thought you and father were dead..." Finally, she really started to cry.

Mrs. Jiang panicked: "Don't cry, don't cry, we met well, why did you cry, hurry up, your father is still waiting."

She was taken aback, and refused to take a step: "I still have friends outside."

This time it was Mrs. Jiang who was in a daze: "This..."

Qiqi hurriedly asked.

Mrs. Jiang smiled: "It's nothing, quickly call your friends, let's go down and talk."

Go down and talk?

Qiqi was completely dumbfounded.

However, it was an eye-opener until the big guy got down there.

It turned out that there were three floors in the attic, and there were also three floors below.

It is exactly the same as the building on the ground, like a reflection.

There is no shortage of flower halls and wing rooms, and there are air holes leading to the ground, all of which are near the river. If you don't search carefully, you won't be able to find them at all.

The attic was pitch black, but thanks to the lighting of candles, it was almost the same as the outside.

When they reached the second basement floor, a servant girl came up to meet her. When she saw Qiqi, she shouted, "Miss, you are back...haha!"

This heartless guy must be Yu'er.

Entering the flower hall, it was Jiang Maoyou sitting at the desk, staring at the door solemnly.

Seeing Qiqi's face, he pretended to sit up straight, and finally stood up uncontrollably and walked over.

"My daughter..." before she could finish her sentence, she burst into tears and couldn't make a sound.

The family did not see each other for more than a year.

At the beginning, all kinds of things have changed.

Being able to save their lives is probably the happiest thing for the three of them right now.

The rest of the things, really can not be scruples.

Qiqi had mixed feelings, looking at the well-arranged scene in the hall, she felt relieved: "Father, mother, why do you live down here? Why is there another building under our building, I don't even know it."

Not to mention her, even Yun Huaiqing, Qin Cai and Xu were also very surprised.

The imperial court wanted Qiqi, and King Xiaoyang was imprisoned. The Jiang family should have wiped out the nine clans and confiscated the family property.

Unexpectedly, he escaped calamity and hid here.
