Chapter 142 You Finally Give Your Strength Once

It would be a lie to say that Ruan Yunting was not moved.Han Bin's family is the old lady's confidant, but he also loves her sincerely.If things really developed to the point where the three of them were needed to protect her, then the Xu family might collapse.Besides, if something really happened, what could they protect her with their abilities?
However, Han Bin's family, Hongdou and Chanjuan didn't think of such an easy truth.

Because they put all their hearts into worrying about her safety.

Ruan Yunting was warm in her heart, she stopped and took the hands of Hongdou and Han Bin's family, and said gently: "Don't worry, the old lady will definitely not allow people to play wild in our house, she loves me so much, unless necessary, she will definitely not let me go I'm in danger, so no matter what happens later, don't be impulsive and do what I say, huh?"

Hongdou and Chanjuan nodded.Han Bin's family looked at Ruan Yunting's clear eyes filled with water vapor.The girl is just 12 years old, and she has this kind of convincing power in her body. If she is in a few years, she will definitely be extraordinary.

The three of them headed south all the way through the long alley, and the servants they met on the road all looked flustered and rushed to the front yard in a hurry.Ruan Yunting knew that the matter was serious.

Turn around the hallway and arrive at the Neiyi Gate adjacent to the hall, which is only separated from the front yard by a wall.Before I got closer, I heard voices coming from the other side of the courtyard wall:

"Mrs. Xu, I think you have a noble status. We, Lu and Xu, are lucky to have a noble concubine in the palace. This fate is hard to give up, and I don't want to tear myself apart with you, but you can't rely on your old age to sell your old age, don't talk about it." reason!"

"Oh? The meaning of the Duke, if I allow you to rush into the gate with my servants and officials to steal my mansion today, it is reasonable?" The old lady's voice was full of sarcasm, and she was calm and could not hear the anger. .

Ruan Yunting and Han Bin's family looked at each other, and leaned out to watch the situation in the courtyard.When she was not aware of the situation, she could not appear rashly, and angering Lu Guogong might cause unimaginable consequences.

In the middle of the courtyard, facing the gate, there is a grand teacher's chair. The old lady is wearing a nine-phoenix Chaoyang Zhai garment, a Xiapei around her neck, and a wreath of three phoenixes playing with pearls on her head. Shi Shiran sits on it.Han Bin's family knew that this dress was a gift from the former emperor, and even the old lady, the imperial concubine, didn't intend to wear it when she returned home to visit her relatives a few days ago.I wore it out today.

Beside the old lady are the eldest wife in first-class imperial attire and the third master in official uniform, and the third wife is also wearing the grand service that she only wore to welcome Luanjia that day.The servants with sticks were waiting in formation, surrounded by the masters, their muscles tensed, as if they were ready to meet the enemy at any time.

On the opposite side of them, Lu Guogong was wearing a royal blue uniform, and with thirty or forty servants and more than forty servants from the capital's yamen, they blocked the gate of Xu's house firmly.Everyone has a fierce look on their faces, like a fierce god.

These people are obviously here to raid the house!
Ruan Yunting's heart turned cold. She never thought that Lu Guogui would come to her door with someone blatantly. Whether the matter is serious or not depends on the old lady's reaction.

The Xu family is a famous family, even if they wear ordinary clothes on weekdays, who doesn't know their nobility?However, in front of Lu Guogong today, the old lady and others specially put on clothes that showed their identities, which meant to tell Lu Guogong that their identities would never be bullied in vain, which can be regarded as a deterrent.

The old lady's voice was sonorous and powerful, and she said loudly: "Duke Lu, please come back. No matter what I am today, I will never allow anyone to disobey the majesty of the Holy Majesty in broad daylight and come to my Xu residence to play wild at the feet of the Son of Heaven!"

Lu Guogong was very angry.He snorted coldly and said, "Could Mrs. Xu be confused? I've already said it. The four gangsters who hurt Brother Wen escaped from prison today. My people followed them all the way and watched the four of them helplessly. Entered the Xu Mansion. Mrs. Xu has been delaying again and again. Could it be that she wants to protect the prisoner? If you do this, you are not afraid that the old man will misunderstand that the four people were sent by the Xu family to hurt my son!"

"Lu Guogong." The third master stepped forward, bowed his hands, and said: "Guo Gong is a smart man, and all of us here are not stupid. How could the four prisoners in the yamen escape smoothly? Could it be that the four of them are still People from the Jianghu with outstanding martial arts skills are not even a match for the poor man who guards the cell?"

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the more than forty officers and the head catcher became a little unnatural.

The third master said again: "Also, the Duke has so many people, isn't it all well-trained? Why can't they catch up after a long time, and see them enter Xu's house?" The third master has read poetry and books on weekdays. He also pays attention to etiquette when speaking, and he can't say anything that is too harsh.

Now that the enemy is approaching, it is time for the Xu family to fight against each other. Of course, the third wife will not demolish her husband in front of outsiders. Seeing this, she also said in a high-pitched voice:
"Exactly, those servants may have lost their eyes by eating too much lard, and they have lost their eyes. Which eye did you see them enter Xu's mansion? Also, why do you say that they are in Xu's house? I want to open the door for you to search. If the gold and silver utensils are damaged, where can we find someone to pay for the loss? The emperor hasn't ordered the house to be raided yet. Lu Guogong, you are one step ahead. Why, is it that you are the emperor's worry Is it? You are disrespectful!"

"Presumptuous!" Lu Guogong's beard trembled.

Ruan Yunting had no choice but to say hello to the third wife in her heart. Usually the third wife and the third master often quarreled, but today her sharp teeth came in handy on proper occasions.Almost every sentence was poked at Lu Guogong's pain, but he was unable to refute because anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lu Guogong's visit today was not kind, and he must have directed and acted the matter himself.

"Today, you may be allowed, or you may be allowed to be allowed! Someone, don't worry about them, rush in, and find the four murderers for me!"

"Yes!" The servant behind Lu Guogong should be, and wanted to rush forward.

The old lady was so angry that she stood up abruptly and yelled: "Stop, everyone, whoever dares to take a step forward, I will bump my head to death on this white marble platform today. I don't believe it. With my identity, I Your blood won't drown you wolf-hearted rats!"

The old lady's eyes were as sharp as a knife, piercing Lu Guogong's heart.

Seeing this, the eldest wife also took a step forward, "The Lord of the Kingdom came here today, I am afraid that he is going to murder my whole family! At the feet of the emperor, how can you allow me to insult my Xu family? If the Lord of the Kingdom is determined to break in My brains will inevitably be scattered here. When the imperial concubine loses her mother and grandmother, I want to see how the Duke will explain to the emperor!"

"You..." Lu Guogong's complexion changed a few times, and then he said yes three times: "Okay, okay, okay! You are not convinced, are you? The old man will send someone into the palace to ask for orders! The emperor will definitely allow me to enter Xu Home search, to avenge Brother Wen! Don’t blame the old man for being rude! Come!”

Lu Wenshan called his personal attendant, whispered a few words, and the man hurried away.

The scene was frozen, the air seemed to be no longer flowing, a gust of wind blew, the palace lanterns in the yard swayed from side to side, the candles flickered on and off, the moonlight shone on the trees, casting gloomy blue shadows, making the scene even more gloomy.

Ruan Yunting's forehead was already sweating.There is self-blame in his heart, and even more admiration for the old lady. It seems that the Xu family can only be supported by someone like the old lady, and the domineering Lu Guogong can't do it.

But at this juncture, she couldn't appear to irritate Lu Guogong.As for why the third wife ordered someone to find her...the reason that made her feel cold, she didn't want to.

About an hour later, the sound of horseshoes from far and near came to my ears, and a young eunuch dressed in silver-gray eunuch uniform rushed over and read out the will of Emperor Han Gan.

The content of the imperial decree turned out to be to allow officials to enter Xu's mansion to search for the whereabouts of the four gangsters.However, the emperor's words were more tactful, and he added a sentence "catch the criminals as soon as possible to ensure the safety of the people in Xu's house", and ordered the guards to "do not destroy any brick and tile of Xu's house, and if it is damaged, it must be compensated as it is."Finally, and the most unexpected, "Mrs. Xuan Xu and Lu Guogong, enter the palace immediately without delay."

"Girl, look..." The worried old lady of Han Bin's family wiped off her sweat and grabbed Ruan Yunting's sleeve.

Ruan Yunting leaned against the courtyard wall, frowned in thought, and said for a while, "Mother Han, don't worry, I think the old ancestor will be fine. But the head arrester and the messenger probably won't really search our house. It's solved."

"Why do you say that?" Not only Han Bin's family didn't understand, Hongdou and Chanjuan also didn't understand.

Ruan Yunting analyzed: "'Catch the gangsters as soon as possible to ensure the safety of everyone in the Xu family' is to put aside the relationship for the Xu family, at least people will not say that the Xu family ordered the gangsters to commit crimes and hurt Lu Wenshan." Do not destroy Xu. The house is one brick at a time." It is to remind the officials to have a sense of proportion. After all, this is Concubine Xu's natal family. Those officials are all good people. They came with Lu Guogong today, and I am afraid that they are also neutral. Who would do it for Lu Guogong? What about his head? Also, the emperor announced that the ancestors entered the palace together with Lu Guogong. The servants brought by Lu Guogong were leaderless, and they would not dare to act wildly in the Xu family if they were lent their courage. So today's crisis has been solved. What will the emperor say to the ancestors?"

"The girl is really smart. Hey, the old slave is confused when he cares about it. His clothes are soaked in sweat right now."

Ruan Yunting took the hand of Han Bin's family: "Mother Han is utterly loyal, thank you Ting'er." At the critical moment, she didn't think about running away, but chose "copy guy" to protect her, and she was grateful in her heart.

Hearing this, Han Bin's family smiled shyly.

The guard really did what Ruan Yunting said, he just went through the motions in the front yard, he didn't even dare to break a blade of grass in Xu's house, so he said goodbye and left.

Ruan Yunting and Han Bin's family took Hongdou and Chanjuan and returned to the Jingsi Garden the same way, but they couldn't fall asleep anyway.I don't know how the emperor made a decision on this matter.

Ruan Yunting's life or death depends entirely on the emperor's words.
