incense as a medium

Chapter 93
"The country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change. How can you swallow your anger?" Qi Peiyun still stared at Liu Bailu, trying to see something from her face, "Do you dare to say that you didn't do some tricks behind your back? Mother often gets hurt for no reason. How dare you say it has nothing to do with you!"

Liu Bailu is his wife, he doesn't want to doubt her, but the Qi family is just that big, Qi Pei'an is as cowardly as a mouse, and definitely dare not do anything to Qi Ding's family, although Liu Bailu is submissive on the surface, but he is a vengeful For his generation, if his wife hurt his mother, what would he do?
"Ha ha……"

Liu Bailu giggled and stared coldly and sadly at Qi Peiyun who questioned her categorically. After a long while, she stuffed the medicine in Qi Peiyun's hand and walked away.

Looking at Liu Bailu's resolute back, and looking at the crazy mother holding his father's tablet in the hall, Qi Peiyun was full of anxiety.

Liu Bailu went out, but didn't know where he was going. After walking around the street a few times, he found someone following him behind him!With a thought in her heart, she turned around and went to the magistrate's mansion.

At this time, less than half a month has passed since the end of the war, and the prefect's mansion has basically returned to the previous situation.

As soon as Liu Bailu arrived at the door, the gate welcomed her in and informed her, but after a while a servant led Liu Bailu in.

When they arrived at the second gate, Du Shuang was waiting there in bright yellow clothes. When she saw Liu Bailu, she quickly stepped forward and took her arm: "I heard from my brother that there was a thief in your house. Why are you here when you have time?"

Liu Bailu said with a smile, "I'm looking for your brother."

"Oh?" Du Shuang's heart moved, and she said with a smile, "What's the matter? Can you tell me about it?"

Liu Bailu glanced around and said, "Let's talk in your room."

"Okay." Du Shuang nodded briskly, and ordered someone to see when Du Heng would be free for him to come over.

The defense of men and women in Yongkang Pass is not very strong, so it is not impossible for Du Heng to enter the inner house to meet guests.

When they arrived at Du Shuang's residence, the two sat down and watched Du Shuang dismiss his servants. Liu Bailu thought for a moment and said slowly, "Since you have heard Mr. Du say what happened today, it must be very important to my mother-in-law. I also know the matter. I thought about it a bit strangely this time, so I want to ask Mr. Du to help me meet those men in black who were arrested."

"What's so strange?" Du Shuang didn't take it all in, just asked.

Liu Bailu turned his head and thought for a while, and after he had sorted out his thoughts, he said: "It's like this. Today, my mother-in-law accidentally fell in the clean room and soiled her clothes, so she went to take a bath. While taking a bath, those Tatars People entered Qi's house. I don't know why those Tatars came to Qi's house to take away my sister-in-law, but I can be sure that one of those people is not a Tatar."

"How do you say that?" Du Shuang hurriedly asked.

Liu Bailu pursed her lips, and said: "Since they dared to enter the city to openly kidnap people in broad daylight, they did an investigation and knew that there were only three women in our house during the day, so they came here during the day. If I put myself in the situation and think about it, if I want to go to a place to take people away, at least I have to leave some retreats for myself. This analysis, plus I once heard a Tatar whistle, presumably to call for companions, But until the Tatars were captured, no one came to rescue or help. Thinking about it this way, those people should have been transferred or solved. So I came here to ask your brother, what happened in the city these days Strange."

Du Shuang listened to Liu Bailu's unresolved nod, her eyes were also extremely excited: "Your mother-in-law has been seen by those men in black, and she often talks about your infidelity, let's see how she can help herself this time! "

Liu Bailu smiled wryly, and said, "My mother-in-law is crazy, that's why I came here."

"Ah? Really..." Du Shuang clapped her hands to applaud, but then remembered that this was not something that should be applauded, so she had to put her hands down. Seeing that Liu Bailu's expression was not right, she asked again: "What's wrong with you? Could it be you?" You are not happy that your mother-in-law is crazy? No, a person like your mother-in-law should not go crazy because of such a thing, could it be the extra person among them?"

Although Du Shuang's guess is not right, it is not far away.

Liu Bailu glanced at Du Shuang, nodded and said, "It's the extra person. I am very clear about my mother-in-law's temperament. It is reasonable to say that she was a little stimulated by what happened today. But if she is insane, I'm afraid someone has tampered with her." .”

"I see." Du Shuang nodded, and asked again: "Can you figure out who it is?"

Liu Bailu hesitated for a moment, but said nothing.

The friendship between the two really didn't go to the point of talking to each other about their concerns. Since Liu Bailu refused to tell, Du Shuang didn't ask any more questions, and directly asked people to serve tea and snacks, and the two chatted about other things.

The two chatted for more than two hours, from treating the wounded in the siege, to being a housekeeper and director, embroidery skills, and then to the selection of the No. 1 Yuan in the capital. Du Heng came late.

Liu Bailu hurriedly stood up and greeted Du Heng.

Du Heng's face was still a little embarrassed. Seeing Liu Bailu's serious face, he couldn't help but said anxiously: "I don't know why Mrs. Qi came here?"

Liu Bailu pursed her lips and said, "I wonder what the results of the interrogation of those men in black will be?"

Du Heng heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "The question came out. Those people said that Wu Da, the eldest prince of the Dayan tribe, Potala, took a fancy to your sister-in-law, so he brought someone here to kidnap her."

"Oh?" Liu Bailu frowned, asking if you believe it?But soon after thinking of what Qi Pei'an said a few days ago, his heart skipped a beat and he didn't speak again.

Du Heng looked carefully at Liu Bailu, saw that her face was slightly different, knew she must know something, frowned and said: "If Mrs. Qi knows something, please cooperate with us. After all, the Tatars are vicious. If they fail this time, I'm afraid I will look for another opportunity in the future.”

"Oh." Liu Bailu smiled faintly, looked at Du Heng and said, "I'm afraid we won't find our home in the future."

"What do you mean?" Du Shuang looked at Liu Bailu and then at the red-faced elder brother in some confusion, and suddenly opened his mouth wide, frowning and said, "Even if my elder brother has a physical relationship in order to save Miss Qi, but this It’s nothing at Yongkang Pass.”

Du Shuang stared at Liu Bailu with burning eyes, thanks to Qi Ding's gift, it was no secret that Liu Bailu's arms and shoulders were seen in Xiongtang County at Yongkang Pass.

Liu Bailu smiled slightly, looked at Du Heng and said, "At that time, my situation was different from yours. I was seen with my arm removed, but my sister-in-law was torn off by you, and she was half naked. leaning against your arms, not to mention being held by you..."

Liu Bailu kept silent, but Du Shuang understood.

This is a bit of a big deal, and Du Shuang has nothing to say. Even though Yongkang Pass is not so strict with men and women, it is not so difficult for Qi Pei'an to find her husband's house again, but it is Du Heng who took advantage of it. If Du Heng refuses to take responsibility, it will be the Du family's fault after all.

This matter is neither big nor small. If Du Heng is unwilling to undertake it, at most it will be criticized by others, but if Du Heng becomes an official in the court in the future, it may become a political enemy to slander Du Heng and hinder Du Heng's promotion. handles and obstacles.

Neither Du Heng nor Du Shuang can make the decision on this matter, and Du Heng is the party involved, so it is even more difficult to say anything. Du Shuang pondered for a long time, and said: "Marriage is a big matter, and the words of the matchmaker are ordered by the parents. This matter still needs to be discussed with the eldest brother." My parents have discussed it and are making a conclusion. But before that, I want to hear your or Miss Qi's opinion. "

Liu Bailu lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then looked at Du Shuang and said, "My sister-in-law has always been timid and has no ideas, but she has a bit of a temper, since this happened, she probably never thought of other ways out. "

The meaning of Liu Bailu's words could not be understood any more. Du Shuang frowned, exchanged a glance with Du Heng, got up and said, "I'll go and talk to my mother, you can talk to my elder brother first."

It happened that Liu Bailu also had something to say to Du Heng in private, so he nodded, and when Du Shuang went out, Du Heng also dismissed the servants in the house, leaving only a reliable personal servant, Liu Bailu said: "I want to meet those men in black."

Du Heng thought for a moment, and said: "I know you have something to hide from me, and I can let you in, but I'm afraid those people will come to trouble your family again in the future?"

Liu Bailu took a sip of tea, and said: "I just said this, Mr. Du, please rest assured that those people will not come to me or trouble the Qi family in the future. Since I want to see those black clothes People, of course I have my reasons. May I ask if Mr. Du is these men in black, would he only bring such a few people into Yongkang prison in broad daylight?"

Du Heng had always had some doubts in his heart before, but now that Liu Bailu said this, he immediately felt enlightened, closed his eyes and thought for a long time, and said, "I'll go out first."

"Okay." Liu Bailu simply nodded without asking what Du Heng was going to do.

Du Heng bowed his hands to Liu Bailu, turned around and left.

As soon as Du Heng went out, a few little maids came in, packed the tea sets and refreshments, served tea for Liu Bailu again, and quietly retreated to the outside room to wait, Liu Bailu sat there dignified and elegant, eating sunflower seeds, one by one. Peel off one by one and put them in a small dish, and when there are too many, twist them up one by one and chew slowly.

This is the first time the Du family has seen this kind of eating method. They have also seen some ladies eating melon seeds very elegantly, and they are also eating melon seeds like this, but no matter how they look, they are not like Liu Bailu. So elegant and demure, not as smooth and comfortable as her.

Liu Bailu sat until it was dark, and at dinner time, the Du family seemed to feel that it was not easy to meet Liu Bailu, so they set up a table of food in Du Shuang's yard, and Du Shuang accompanied them to eat together.Mrs. Du and Master Du were discussing their son's marriage in their room.

After eating, Liu Bailu suddenly remembered something. She took the mouthwash from the servant girl and rinsed her mouth, and asked, "Is there anyone suspicious outside the magistrate's house today?"

"Suspicious person?" Du Shuang didn't quite understand. She glanced at Liu Bailu, but didn't ask any further questions. She directly asked Qing'er to go to the concierge to ask.

Not long after, Qing'er came back and replied: "Returning to Miss, the concierge said that there were a few peddlers selling things at the back door and the front door this afternoon, and nothing else."
