married daughter

Chapter 133 Punishment
Ruan Yunting no longer wanted to think about how chaotic the scene was and how the shopkeeper of the jade shop reported to the government.She only remembered Lu Guogong coming after hearing the news, his unbelievable face and his fat body trembling in anger.Since the matter became clear and someone testified that the matter had nothing to do with her, Pompey Zhao Si and his three brothers were all sent to prison at this moment.Lu Wenshan was taken back for diagnosis and treatment, but the servants of the Lu family were not good enough to protect the master, and Duke Lu would definitely not forgive him lightly.

Ruan Yunting was kneeling in the ancestral hall at the moment, and the four maidservants of the Xu family who went out with her were said to have been sent by the old lady to Zhou's family to deal with them.

Things are in trouble.

Because she had just heard from Han Bin's family that five of the imperial physicians in the palace had gone to the Duke's Mansion, and they were all helpless. Lu Wenshan might be inhumane in the future.Lu Guogong's heirs are weak, just such a concubine was kicked to death by Zhao Si, and those who are related will probably bear Lu Guogong's thunderous wrath.

She wasn't wrong, and she couldn't blame her for this matter from the beginning to the end.But who knows if Lu Guogong is a reasonable person?She was so unlucky that she inadvertently provoked Lu Wenshan. Ever since she was startled by a horse on the street and hit a big bump on the head that day, she had already confirmed that knowing Lu Wenshan was the beginning of bad luck.

"Squeak-"

The carved wooden door was pushed open, the candles in the ancestral hall were flickering, and rows of memorial tablets neatly left shadows, reflecting the shadows behind the curtain even more gloomy.

Ruan Yunting turned her head in surprise, an old lady in a brocade paired placket came in with a lantern, the light from the lantern scattered from bottom to top, the old lady's chin was illuminated, and the upper half of her face was hidden in the shadows. It was Ruan Yunting who saw who it was, and was still shivering in fright.

"Old ancestor." Ruan Yunting grabbed the skirt with one hand.

The old lady let out a "hmm", put down the lantern, turned around and closed the door, walked up to Ruan Yunting and said, "Do you know what's wrong?"

Ruan Yunting was still kneeling on the futon, turned around to face the old lady, bowed her head and said, "Old ancestor, do you want to listen to the truth?"

The old lady pulled a futon casually and sat beside Ruan Yunting.

Ruan Yunting sighed and said: "Frankly speaking, the whole thing has nothing to do with me. From the beginning, I was the one who was the victim. Lu Wenshan startled the horse on the street, and I got a head injury. Lu Wenshan pestered me endlessly." , and caused me great trouble. Today, it was Lu Wenshan himself who fought with Poppi, who didn't know Lu Wenshan's identity, and hurt him because he lost his sense in Jia Sheng's anger. However, Lu Guogong and Lu Wenshan might feel that This incident happened because of me, so I blamed me, and even blamed the Xu family."

The old lady's expression was unclear, and she couldn't see any emotions or anger, so she just said indifferently: "You can see clearly."

Ruan Yunting looked at the old lady nervously, with her big eyes reflecting the candlelight, she looked helpless and dazed, "Old Ancestor, what do you think about this matter?"

"What should I do?" The old lady sighed, remembering the dispute between the eldest wife, the third master, and the third wife in Pine Age Hall just now—

"Then Lu Wenshan suffered such a serious injury, wasn't it all because of Ting'er? Hey, I didn't say that Ting'er used to act recklessly, but this time she might be able to provoke someone outside. This matter, I think Nothing." The third wife looked like she wanted to get herself out of Xu's house.

"That's not what you said." The eldest lady pondered what the old lady was thinking, "Ting'er is now the top girl in our family. As the saying goes, 'the prodigal son will not change his money', she is very sensible now, and she is Lu Wenshan from the beginning to the end. Nonsense, besides, Lu Wenshan's reputation in Daliang Chengli is not a secret, and it's not like he hasn't done rape, rape, and robbery. It's all because of Lu Guogong's support that he can suppress every incident. , not to mention anything else, just say that there are not twenty girls in the Lu family who were forced to death. This time, Ting'er was just unlucky."

"She is unlucky, but she has tired us! Sister-in-law, the imperial concubine is about to go home to visit her relatives. If something like this happens, you still have the heart to help her speak!"

The third wife's words entered the heart of the eldest wife. What she feared most was that her daughter would be affected.

"What do the brothers and sisters say?"

The third wife changed her gentle face: "According to me, although Ting'er is not entirely to blame for this matter, it is best for our family not to break up with the Lu family. Didn't Lu Wenshan fall in love with Ting'er? Why, how about we Ting'er made him his wife, and calmed Lu Guogong's anger, so Brother Xuan, our third master, and even the imperial concubine and empress will have one less enemy, and at least the superficial peace can be maintained." The third wife said and looked at her. The old lady with drooping eyes.

In fact, the eldest wife also has such thoughts in her heart, and ordinary things are what matter.But she wouldn't be that early bird to say it, she was noncommittal when she heard the words, and took a sip from the teacup.

The third master said: "Lu Wenshan is inhumane. Didn't Ting'er follow him to be a widow for the rest of his life? Besides, the Lu family may still remember our enmity. Ting'er has completely become the target of their anger. Push the child into the fire pit? No, I don’t agree. Our Xu family is also a famous family, so we are afraid that his Lu family will fail!?”

The old lady was somewhat relieved when she heard her son's words, but she also understood that the third master's words only said the half that could please her the most, and the other half was because of the marriage of foreign relatives, which might arouse criticism.

"Ting'er." The old lady sighed and said, "Although this matter is not your fault, it was caused by you after all. During these days, you should go back to the Jingsi Garden to contemplate your mistakes behind closed doors. Without my order, you are not allowed to come out."

"What about the academy?"

"I won't be going to the academy for the time being. I will ask the head of the mountain to help you take a leave of absence for a while. To the outside world, I will say that your old injury has relapsed and you are bedridden."

"Yes." Ruan Yunting lowered her head, now she has no other choice but to be obedient.

The old lady looked at Ruan Yunting complicatedly, and locked her in the Jingsi Garden, lest she go out and suffer revenge from the Lu family, let's wait until the limelight passes.

※※※※

The news of Lu Wenshan's injury, even if no one beat drums and drums to publicize it, many famous families heard the news.It's just that no one knew who deliberately concealed it. Few people knew about Ruan Yunting's presence. Everyone only knew that Lu Wenshan caused trouble again, and finally hurt himself.

King's Mansion.

Jun Zhaoying was shirtless, wearing only white trousers and soap boots, dancing stone locks on the martial arts arena, sweating profusely.If he hadn't used all his strength to make himself tired, the depression in his heart would really be impossible to relieve.

He regretted it, he shouldn't have listened to Lan Zhou's words that day and walked away first, if he was there, he would be able to help anyway, so that Lu Wenshan would not become a useless person.

"Master Ying, take a rest."

Jun Lanzhou stood outside the martial arts arena holding a silk shirt.

But Jun Zhaoying didn't seem to hear it, Shi Suowu's vigor was like a tiger.

His long eyebrows frowned, and Jun Lanzhou persuaded helplessly: "Master Ying, even if you stayed yesterday, I'm afraid we won't be able to help you. With your temper, don't take advantage of the chaos to make up for Young Master Lu. The feet are considered good, so what's the use of staying? Besides, our Jun's mansion and Lu Guogong's mansion have always been well watered, if you accidentally do something that affects the master's plan, won't it be another easy fight when you come back to the mansion? "

When Jun Lanzhou said something, Jun Zhaoying's movements slowed down a bit. In the end, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and the stone lock was thrown to the ground with a bang, and the sweat on his forehead slid down his cheeks.

"Then tell us what we should do."

Jun Lanzhou took a cloth towel and handed it over to wait for him to wipe his face, then put the silk shirt on his shoulders, and said: "I just went to Xu's house to find out, Mrs. Xu punished Miss Ruan to kneel in the ancestral hall last night, and there is no heavy responsibility. This shows that Mrs. Xu still loves Miss Ruan, and she will definitely come up with a perfect way to help Miss Ruan out of the siege."

"But sister Ruan is sick now."

"It's a good time to be ill. It's better to spend a period of time in the mansion to cultivate than to go to the academy every day. If something happens on the way, it's better."

"Lan Zhou, you mean..."

"I didn't say anything." Jun Lanzhou brought the robe and waited for Jun Zhaoying to put it on: "We should go to the study, and the master will test your homework later."

"No, I'm still going to see her!"

"Master Ying, Miss Ruan is on the cusp now, so Lu Wenshan has moved his mind on her and made the Xu family offend the Lu family. How do you think the Xu family will treat her? If you go again, will you still have to hook up with men for her? 'Add a 'criminal evidence'? Listen to me, you can't go, even if you do, it will take a while."

Jun Zhaoying sighed, despite all his reluctance, he was dragged to the study by Jun Lanzhou.Because he had to admit that Jun Lanzhou was right.

In front of Xu Mansion.

Han Su raised the curtain of the car and looked at the vermilion lacquered door, his thick eyebrows knit into knots.

"My lord, do you want to make a small announcement?" Seeing that Han Su had been in a daze for a long time, Jing Sheng finally couldn't help but remind him.

Han Su shook his head and said quietly, "No, let's go back."

"Back to the palace?"

"Ah."

"But you are here, you..."

"Now is not the time."

Han Su put down the curtain of the car to signal to leave, Jing Sheng was confused, he didn't go in even after he arrived, he really didn't know what the son was thinking.

※※※※

In the early morning of the eighth day of September, Ruan Yunting finally got the order of the old lady to put on a light green brocade gown, and like other girls, she wore a golden phoenix and a fringed hairpin on a flying fairy bun. Prepare to welcome the imperial concubine in front of the door.

Fugui Street was completely silent at the moment, officers and soldiers had sealed off the street a long time ago, prohibiting the common people from watching.On both sides of the road, a bamboo pole was erected at intervals of one zhang, wrapped in blue cloth as a partition, lanterns of various colors were hung high, and ribbons fluttered in the wind.The streets are paved with yellow sand.

The old lady of the Xu family was wearing a golden gown, a shawl, and a treasure crown. She stood in a row with the eldest wife and third wife and girls on the side of the street. Standing in a row, not even the respectable relatives of the Xu family were left behind, waiting for the arrival of Concubine Xu, the sixth prince and the ninth princess. .

Ruan Yunting was imprisoned for two days, and spent all her time embroidering and practicing calligraphy in the yard, and lived a leisurely life.

Xu Ningxia was wearing a pink embroidered beige, looked at Ruan Yunting with a half-smile, and satirized in a low voice: "Some people have lost face at home, but they still have face to show."
