Chapter 9 Conspiracy (1)

The daughter of the Ban family got married, and King Xuanping, who was the fiancée, did not come to Huaijiang Mansion to welcome her in person.It's not that he didn't want to come, it's just that he got caught up in the middle of the business.

Lou Xiyue thought to herself, Fu Guan has come, but not completely.

According to Fu Guan's letter sent to the Ban's family, those official affairs were particularly difficult. Fu Guan received an order from the Holy Majesty to deal with it urgently, so he had to temporarily put aside the matter of welcoming the relatives and stay in Pingjiang Mansion.

It sounded like he was being forced to.Even though the Ban family was upset, they had no reason to blame Fu Guan, so they could only grit their teeth and swallow it.

Having said that, who knows if he really has official business, or if he doesn't want to come to Huaijiang Mansion at all?

The marriage contract between King Xuanping and Ban Xiyu was bestowed by the emperor. As an unmarried bride, Ban Xiyu is not willing to be controlled by others, let alone Fu Guan herself.

The Fu family and the emperor had an unresolvable enmity, and the emperor forcibly forced the bride in. Fu Guan himself would be happy to go to hell.

Therefore, Lou Xiyue had reason to suspect that Fu Guan was simply looking for an excuse to refuse to welcome the bride.

If her guess is correct, then Fu Guan is indeed not a good match - he fights with the emperor, he naturally fights them, what has he to do with others, what has to do with Ban Xiyu?
It was agreed that the wedding ceremony would not come, and Ban Xiyu was asked to leave home for the capital. From the beginning to the end, no one from the Xuanping Palace showed up. Obviously, they did not take the Ban family's face into consideration at all.

The groom is such a person who doesn't care about the bride, no wonder Mrs. He is too dissatisfied.

Lou Xiyue also hated Fu Guanlai a little bit.

She thought indifferently, fortunately Ban Xiyu slipped away quickly, otherwise she would have suffered a lot when meeting such a heartless person.

Since Fu Guan felt sorry for Ban Xiyu first, it would not be too much if she had to use King Xuanping's status and power to do things after she got to the capital.

Lou Xiyue lowered her head and thought secretly, at this moment, there was a sudden movement outside the car.

She is a martial arts practitioner and also a spy of the Xianyang family, so her hearing is naturally sharper than others.She clearly heard a noise not far away. It seemed that a crowd was making trouble, clamoring for food and clothing.

At the same time, the speed of the wedding procession also slowed down, as if affected by the noisy situation ahead.

Lou Xiyue knocked on the window twice: "Qingshuang, what's going on outside and why is it so noisy?"

As soon as Qingshuang opened the curtain and came in, she glanced out in surprise, and said, "Young lady, I heard it—it's the refugees nearby. I don't know why they linger on the official road, and they are arguing with the passers-by for food. .”

"Refugees?" Lou Xiyue asked, "Where have we been?"

Qingshuang replied: "It's almost the boundary of Ling County. In about an hour, we will be able to enter the city just before the curfew."

Lou Xiyue asked: "There has been a natural disaster in Ling County recently, why are there refugees?"

"This... As far as I know, the Jiangnan area has been very peaceful recently. There is neither drought nor flood. Even if there is an earthquake, it can't shake our place." Qingshuang shook her head and said: " So about the origin of this refugee, the servants are not clear."

Lou Xiyue thought for a moment, then said: "You have to ask people to find out what's going on. If it's nothing important, just drive them away. If you can't drive them away, try to get around it." In short, it can't Because of this group of refugees, it was delayed to send the pro-team into the city for lodging.

"Drive people away?" Qingshuang was stunned for a moment.

Lou Xiyue glanced at her and said, "I didn't say it clearly enough?"

Qingshuang was stunned by her sharp eyes, so she shook her head again and again, and said, "No, no. This servant will do it now."

She exited the car with lingering fear, and immediately relaxed.

"call--"

Qingshuang let out a long breath, patted her chest, and thought to herself, these days, Miss seems to be quite different from before.

Although the former lady had occasional temper tantrums, her nature was gentle and amiable, as tender as water.But the current young lady is full of aggressiveness.

The lady stood there, even if she didn't say a word, the cold aura made people have to cheer up 12 points.

In the past few days, Qingshuang was always very nervous when facing Miss.The other party's pair of clear eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts at a glance. Even though she hadn't done anything wrong to miss, Qingshuang couldn't help being afraid when she saw such a lady.

But when you think about it carefully, the young lady only shows such a distant and indifferent expression when there are few people or when she is alone.When there are outsiders, she is still dignified and generous, with decent manners.

Qingshuang thought absentmindedly, could it be because of the marriage, the young lady was overly sad, that's why it happened?

She couldn't figure out the reason for the change in Miss's temperament, but on the other side, the guard in charge of delivering the marriage had already galloped back.

The guard said: "Miss Qingshuang, I'll go and find out. Those refugees came from other states and counties. It is said that they were originally farmers from various places. Later, their land was expropriated, and last year's drought affected them, so they became refugees. .

"They have traveled all over the world, and they have never been convicted of crimes. Their household registration is not under the jurisdiction of the Ling County government, so the local government has never taken them in. I think what they are asking for is just some food and clothing, and it is not too important. .”

Qingshuang nodded and said, "I see. Then give them some food and water."

So, she went back to the carriage and reported the truth to Lou Xiyue: "The servants saw that those refugees were quite pitiful, so they left some food and water for them, so as to save them from starving and freezing. Besides, we have to go through the mausoleum anyway." The county, how about asking the county magistrate to settle these refugees after entering the city?"

Qingshuang thought in her heart, the young lady of their family is the most benevolent, seeing the refugees struggling and suffering so much, she would definitely not sit idly by.

however--

"I've said it before, don't make trouble." Lou Xiyue rubbed her temples and said, "Since you have given them food and water, and it's not important, let the guards drive them away." Lou Xiyue Xiyue said: "If we delay any longer, we won't be able to reach Ling County before dark."

"Scatter the refugees away?" Qingshuang asked puzzledly: "Miss, is this inappropriate? In fact, we have already given them food and water, and they will leave soon."

Lou Xiyue said: "No, they won't leave." She glanced out through the window and said:
"Once enough food and clothing are given, greed and hatred will magnify in the hearts of the refugees. The refugees who are extremely hungry and poor will not pay attention to demeanor, etiquette and morality when they see a plate of rich meat.

"With huge temptations and benefits in front of us, the refugees will turn into mobs. They will recklessly rob our wedding team and take away all the dowry and women."

Lou Xiyue looked at Qingshuang calmly, and said, "I said this, do you understand?"

Qingshuang didn't think about this layer.

She naively thought that the victim was worthy of pity and was worthy of being saved. She never thought that someone would harm the benefactor after receiving the favor.

Qingshuang understands, but doesn't quite understand.

What she didn't understand was that the young lady was raised in a deep house and had never had contact with outsiders, and she didn't know the dangers and indifference of the world. How did she know these worldly truths?
Lou Xiyue didn't care whether she understood or not, she just ordered: "Forget it, if it really doesn't work, let the guards change the way."

Qingshuang didn't dare to disobey, so she had to agree: "Yes, I will order you to do so now, slave."

She didn't dare to delay, and as soon as she called the guard over, the servant who was escorting in front ran over in a hurry: "It's no good, Miss Qingshuang, those refugees are coming towards us!"
