Rebirth as Hou Menfu

Chapter 90

"Zhuo Ye, go to the east of the city to have a look first. There are many manors in the capital. If you find Miss Shangguan, come back and let us know." You have to make sure that Shangguan Yirong is still alive before you can consider it. What should be the next step, Zhuo Ye nodded and went out in the dark, Yingxiu looked at the serious cousin and sighed slightly.

The reason why he didn't call the Shangguan's family over but called the eldest cousin was because if it really had something to do with his cousin and something happened to Yirong, there would be some gap between Shangguan's family and Qiao's family.

It has been a long time since Mrs. Zhang was brought back to the Zhang family. Whether it was the pressure from Concubine Zhang Guifei or the many visits to the Zhang family, Mr. Qiao always refused the Zhang family to send her back after seeing Mrs. Zhang once, but this How many times can she refuse? One day Zhang is still Qiao Jinxian's wife, and one day she will return to Qiao's house.

"I'll go to Zhang's house." Qiao Jinxian, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up, but was stopped by Jin Ze, "Brother, what are you going to Zhang's house for? If you go, you're going to pick up sister-in-law."

"That's right, big cousin, Shi Ya, I haven't said anything yet. Since Zhuo Ye said that her cousin will go home in the evening, if she wants to kill people to silence her, she doesn't need to go out and get her body dirty after two days. If you go, it will inevitably make the sister-in-law feel suspicious."

It was already late at night when Zhuo Ye came back, and he couldn't find out the size of the east of the city by himself. He took Zhuo Yin and two together and only checked some manors and other gardens of various families in the capital.

It was dark and the road surface was not clear, even if it was the traces of the wheels running over during the day, and the moonlight was not very clear at night, only a very small number of Zhuangzi lit their lamps at this time, Zhuo Ye went to those Zhuangzi of the Zhang family to check, In one of the Zhuangzi, seven or eight men who seemed to have some skills were found guarding it, but the lights in the whole Zhuangzi were not burning, and no one could be seen to be detained.

"I found a few clear wheel tracks at the gate of the Bieyuan, and we have to wait until the daytime to go and have a look to confirm." After hearing what Zhuo Ye said, Qiao Jinxian's already dignified expression became a little darker.

If you want to enter that other garden to find someone, it is easy to alarm the people in the Zhuangzi. When Shangguan Yirong is taken away after a fight, it is not a problem that you can't find it. Yingxiu is even more afraid that Zhang Yan will go crazy and do something to hurt her. Things, even if the person is rescued, the reputation of the girl's family will be completely ruined.

"I'll go to Zhang's house early tomorrow morning to look for Yan'er. You find someone to find a way to sneak into the other garden and see if Miss Shangguan is there. Didn't Jinze say that two of her personal servant girls are also missing together. "Qiao Jinxian suddenly said, looked at them and said, "If those two maids are still alive, they must still be in the other garden."

Early the next morning, Zhuo Yin disguised herself as a maid of the Zhang family, and set off to the east of the city in a carriage rented from the same place as Zhang Yan when she came back. Madam came to her yard, Zhang Yan hurriedly stuffed the black robe into the bed and went to the door to greet Madam Zhang, "Mother, why are you here?"

"My child, go and see who is here." Mrs. Zhang took Zhang Yan's hand and pulled her out of the room. Zhang Yan was startled, and subconsciously said, "Who is it?"

Mrs. Zhang saw that her daughter's expression was a little bit wrong, and caressed her face worriedly, "What's wrong with such a bad complexion, is it because you are not feeling well?"

"No mother, I have been at home for so many days, and I have never seen anyone come to see you so happy." Zhang Yan pulled out a smile, seeing Mrs. Zhang's heartache, and took her hand to comfort her, "I have wronged you these days , go over and see who is coming."

Zhang Yan calmed down, walked to the front hall, and saw Qi Jinxian standing with her back facing her, the emotions that had just calmed down surged up again in an instant.

Qiao Jinxian turned around when he heard the noise, and saw Zhang Yan standing in front of him. It had only been a year since he had seen him, but Qiao Jinxian felt that he no longer recognized this person.

"Sister-in-law." Zhang Yan called out tentatively, Qiao Jinxian suppressed the disappointment in his eyes, and sighed slightly, "You've lost weight."

Those three words were enough to make her burst into tears. When she returned to Zhang's house, she would definitely wait for him to pick her up, writing to him non-stop. Zhang Yan felt that she was about to die waiting, and finally waited until he came to see her.

Zhang Yan threw herself into Qiao Jinxian's arms and began to cry. The life of the Zhang family was not easy. Apart from the fact that Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang loved her, the elder brother and the second brother felt that they had lost face to the Zhang family. She went to the palace to beg Concubine Zhang, but Concubine Zhang, the aunt who was kind to her in the past, told her that she had done her best not to let the Qiao family rest, and the concubines in the palace should not interfere too much with the affairs of the natal family.

"Sanggong, are you here to pick me up?" Zhang Yan cried enough, looked up at Qiao Jinxian with tears in her eyes, Qiao Jinxian gently pushed her away, and said softly, "I'll come and see you, I can't take you back just yet."

Zhang Yan's complexion changed, she pushed Qiao Jinxian away vigorously, staggered and almost hit the table, "It's been so long, why didn't you pick me up, I know I was wrong, I will give you many, many concubines in the future Waiter, and let them give birth to you, isn't that enough, why don't you take me back."

Qiao Jinxian felt more and more unfamiliar with her. She was like that in the past, and she is still like this now. Once she made a mistake, she would keep promising herself to forgive her, and then she would do it again.

"I told my father that I want to go back to Nanxun." After a long time, Qiao Jinxian said.

Zhang Yan raised her head, looked at him with reddish eyes, and a flash of hope flashed in her eyes, "You mean, you want to go back to Nanxun to work?"

Qiao Jinxian nodded. The Qiao family is not a successor. The second brother is more promising than him. He is not used to everything in the capital, so he still wants to go back to Nanxun.

"Then... can we go back to Nanxun together, so that we don't have to stay in the capital, and we don't have to embarrass our father and mother at Qiao's house." Zhang Yan has always wanted to go back to Nanxun. There is no Mrs. Qiao there, There was no Mrs. Qiao, let alone the two masters of the Qiao family. There were only her and Qiao Jinxian. There were no concubines. She didn't have to ask for peace, and she didn't have to worry about the children. She just stayed with Qiao Jinxian.

"If my father agrees, I can go back." Qiao Jinxian saw the joy on her face, and felt more sadness in her heart.

The maid at the door came to report several times, Zhang Yan remembered what she was going to do, and smiled at Qiao Jinxian, "Sir, wait a minute, I'll go get some things."

Walked to the door and whispered, "You take this to the other garden, let her eat it, and give it to Amu." Zhang Yan handed a small white ceramic bottle to the maid, "As for the two maids , let Amu get dizzy and lose it cleanly."

The maid hid the ceramic bottle in her waist, hurried out through the back door of Zhang's house, and got into the carriage that had been prepared long ago.

Not long after the carriage drove, two figures appeared on the wall behind the door, and Zhuo Ye followed quietly with a guard.

In the east of the city, Zhuo Yin had already arrived at the gate of Zhang's Bieyuan, got off the carriage, Zhuo Yin carried a food box in her hand, went to the gate and knocked a few times.

It took a while for the door to open, revealing a gap to look at Zhuo Yin outside, and said harshly, "Who is it?"

"Miss asked me to bring them some food." Zhuo Yin gestured to the food box in his hand, the man opened the door, looked at Zhuo Yin up and down, and slowly stroked his beard with one hand, "Go in."

There are two roads on the left and right when you enter the gate, and the man just wanted to follow Zhuo Yin to see which road she was going to, and test whether she was the person sent by Zhang Yan.

Zhuo Yin glanced at the right side, stepped forward, and suddenly staggered and fell to the ground. The food box fell to the ground, and the lid on it was shaken off, revealing a plate of dishes.

"Oops, it hurt me from the fall." Zhuo Yin exaggeratedly shouted, and immediately two people came out from the corner on the left, looking at Zhuo Yin vigilantly, "What happened!"

"Brother, I'm hurting from the fall, can I trouble you to help me?" Zhuo Yin pinched herself secretly, tears welled up in her eyes, and looked pitifully at the two people who looked over.

"Women are really troublesome!" The man behind Zhuo Yin rudely pulled Zhuo Yin up from the ground, holding the food box in one hand, Zhuo Yin wished she could kick it over, and endured the act of limping to the left walked over.

When the two people saw them coming, one of them took a look at the food box, removed the vegetables on the upper two layers, took the two steamed buns at the bottom, and stuffed the rest to Zhuo Yin, "Still I’ll just send one of them, but you can send these two in, be careful, they will bite, hahahahaha.”

Hearing the obscene laughter, Zhuo Yin supported the edge of the wall and continued to walk forward. When she reached a locked room, a big man guarding the door opened the door, pushed the door open, and asked with an unpleasant smell. rushed out.

Resisting the urge to vomit, there was a smell of blood and an unspeakable disgusting smell in the room, Zhuo Yin saw the two people huddled in the corner, and walked in slowly.

The two people felt someone approaching, shrank in, and murmured no, no.

A big man outside the house heard their voices, laughed and said to the other, "Boy, did you see that, if a woman says no, she means yes. Last night, I heard them shout no."

Zhuo Yin's footsteps in the room stopped, her hands firmly grasped the corners of her clothes, and she touched the two short swords tied between her legs. Zhuo Yin walked slowly in front of them, and only then did she see the appearance of the two servant girls clearly.

It was almost impossible to recognize what it looked like, the hair was scratched and messy, the face was bruised, and there was a trace of blood hanging from the corner of the mouth. The clothes on his body were not called clothes at all, and the cuffs were directly torn to his chest. In the dark, Zhuo Yin could see the torn bellyband, and the smell of blood intensified. Zhuo Yin caught a glimpse of the blood on the skirt between their legs, and instantly understood what they meant just now in her mind.

Gently put down the food box, Zhuo Yin bit her lips and watched them shed tears, their eyes had already started to loosen, she grew up in Yizhou Island, she had seen too many means and methods of interrogating people, Once the arrested person shows such a look, he will almost collapse, as long as he is stimulated again, this person will be useless.

Seeing that Zhuo Yin hadn't moved, one of the better maidservants raised her head and glanced at her. Zhuo Yin took out the steamed buns and handed them to them, "Eat it."

"Who are you? Why are you arresting us? Where did you take Miss!" The sober maid slapped Zhuo Yin's hand away with one hand, and the other rushed forward and snatched the steamed buns that had been rolled several times on the ground , Stuffed it into his mouth without wiping it, and ate voraciously.

"Eat it, this is not poisonous, if you starve to death, you will never see your lady again." Zhuo Yin picked up another steamed bun and handed it to her. She can't stay here for long, she must go while there is still time. Let's take a look inside the other garden.

Unable to bear to look any longer, Zhuo Yin stuffed the steamed bun into her hand and said in a low voice, "I must eat it."
