Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 678 News & Gossip & Arrival in Beijing (Third update)
When Zhiruo heard that Ding Xiang had failed in her attempt to seduce Young Master Xiang and was sold by Ling Shilang, she was stunned for a moment and then suddenly realized: "That lord must be in urgent need of manpower and no one can use it."

Wanhua Tower was picked up. Because someone was looking for her relatives, Qingguo Jasmine followed her relatives to the capital to meet the seriously ill old man, but she did not escape. When she could arrive in Beijing in ten days, she was killed by Jin on the road. Yiwei caught him.However, Jin Yiwei didn't notice. Jasmine raised and lowered the hairpin. The hairpin was deeply inserted into her neck and died. The hairpin was smeared with poison.

Jasmine died so quickly to protect Lan Niu from being discovered. They lived in the same inn, but they were not related on the surface, they just met on the way.At that time, Lan Niu was about to walk towards Jasmine, but the two golden guards did not tie up Jasmine and seemed to be waiting for Jasmine's companions to come to her, so Jasmine directly sought death to prevent Lan Niu from walking over.Everyone in Daying knows that Jin Yiwei never needs proof when arresting people. As long as there is suspicion, he will arrest first. He would rather arrest thousands of people by mistake than miss one person.

Speaking of which, Jasmine and other secret spies were really loyal to the lord, and they seemed to go to death without blinking an eye.

Liang Dashan blinked: "What does eldest sister mean, Dingxiang will go to serve Lan Niu?" Dingxiang is now a slave. If she wants to stay in the capital after being sold, in order not to be suspected, she must only There are two ways to go, one is to continue working as a maid in another house, and the other is to go to the land of Goulan.

"If nothing else, it should be," Zhiruo nodded. It was good that he was an acquaintance of Luoying.

Sure enough, within two days, news came that Lilac had been bought by Prince Ruijun's Mansion. Zhiruo looked at the snowman outside the window and was stunned for a long time: Those who had taboos against Pixiu were King Fu, King Jing, and the late King Rui. The people who planned to secretly investigate his father before his accident were also King Jing, King Fu, and the late King Rui.Now that Prince Fu is dead, Prince Rui's Palace has jumped out and bought Lilac. On the surface, Prince Jing's Palace is farthest from their suspicions.

Liang Dashan and Liang Dahai now directly set the target of suspicion on King Jing. King Rui has been dead for many years. It is not impossible for the current King Rui to inherit King Rui's unfinished business. However, King Rui really He doesn't look like someone who can cast such a large net.

"Lanniu's journey was really not smooth," Liang Dahai sighed. The people from Taoyuanjing and Luo Dayou didn't know the truth, and they were really chasing her all the way.However, only in this way can Lan Niu be less likely to make the lord suspicious after arriving in the capital.

"Is Mingshizi at the border?" Liang Dashan said suddenly, "I don't know if things are going smoothly or not, and whether I can come back before the year." Prince Jing's Mansion and Prince Ruijun's Mansion are not easy places to insert nails, and spying and investigation are Eagle Guard's strengths.For example, not long after that, Eagle Guard discovered that there was a small world under Mr. Ruan's house, and there was a tunnel leading directly to the mountain pass.No wonder the tracker disappears every time he reaches that area.

Why is it called a small world?It is said that the basement is larger than Mr. Ruan's house. It not only has a weapons warehouse, a treasure house, but also food, clothing, drink, and even a bed.

Zhiruo nodded: "He said he was here, and he also said he would come back with the prince after finishing his work. The prince suffered a lot over there this time, and was almost captured alive by the Buhua."

"What a coward!" Liang Dahai curled his lips, "That lord is so powerful, how could he give birth to such a thing? I didn't feel so stupid when I was in Beijing."

Zhiruo snorted coldly: "It's not that stupid, it's just that I have short-sighted eyes and a bad mentality." There are many staff in the capital, and there will always be someone to remind you. Moreover, the journey has been smooth and the confidence is high, so the shortcomings of a poor mentality are not so obvious. .

Thinking of the prince coming back with Pan Jiaming, Zhiruo frowned slightly. Pan Jiaming's journey had not been smooth. Those who wanted to take his life were very hard on him. Naturally, such a good opportunity would not be missed.I'm afraid it will be even more difficult if the prince is included in the journey back, and he is also a person who wants him dead.

The days passed quickly, and it was already mid-December when Zhiruo received the news that Lan Niu had arrived in Beijing.The New Year is just around the corner, and the entire capital is busy, but it still can't stop everyone from gossiping, whether in the court, teahouse, or on the streets.

First of all, of course, it is a matter of family and country. It is said that there were several small wars in the northwest. The two sides have been quiet for many years. At the beginning, they were testing each other's strength, so small frictions were frequent but the war had not yet begun.When Wusuolan decided to go to war, the Yin Family Army, headed by the white-haired military advisor who had been playing tricks on them for several months, officially announced that it would become the vanguard of the army under Duke Dingguo. However, the name did not change. It was still the Yin Family Army, the Yin Family Army of General Yin Zhao. .It is said that many soldiers who were originally in the Pioneer Army under Yin Zhao asked to be transferred to the Yin Family Army. Duke Dingguo agreed to them all with a wave of his hand, which further enhanced the combat capabilities of the Yin Family Army.

Sure enough, the Yin Army took action, and after several small battles, the Usolan army did not gain the upper hand at all. In addition, the continuous heavy snowfall in the northwest and the unprecedented cold were very disadvantageous to the Usolan army, which did not have enough food, grass and cotton clothes to be supplied by the Ying army. They took the time and settled down a bit.For the time being, the people in the northwest can spend the New Year with peace of mind. They all lamented that the northwest still needs General Yin Zhao to control it. They hope that the court will find out the culprit who framed General Yin Zhao as soon as possible and restore Yin Zhao's title of "General Zhenbei". In this way, General Yin Zhao's spirit in heaven can legitimately protect the northwest.

These words were transmitted back to the capital, making Zhiruo laugh and cry at the common people's imagination. They also made the emperor, who was drinking alone, go crazy all night. Sometimes he was depressed, and then he yelled at Yin Zhao for not believing him, and sometimes he was happy and said No one is more loyal to him than Yin Zhao. The spirit in the sky not only protects the northwest, but also protects him and helps him protect the country. Otherwise, how could he leave two future important ministers, one civil and one military, and allow Yu Zhihu to make arrangements for him? An invincible Yin family army?
Fortunately, the Queen was the only one in the Royal Study who saw the Emperor laughing and cursing while he was drunk. Outside the Royal Study, only Eunuch Dafuzi had the ears to occasionally hear a few laughter or curses coming from behind the closed door. Even the people in the Imperial Study On the roof, only the leader of the Dragon Guard arched his hands towards the night sky.

When the family and the country are in good condition, everyone is in the mood to gossip about things that they regard as after-dinner jokes. For example, the eldest son of the concubine who has been favored by the British father-in-law for decades and who recently moved out of the British government's residence died less than two months after his wife's death. Married to another person, no, married to another person.Mr. Pan wants to join the Qi family and become the son-in-law of Aunt Qi's grandmother, who has been widowed for two years.reason?The house that the British father-in-law gave to the Pan family is under the name of his grandson Pan Jiaxin. Mr. Pan cannot marry in his son's house.The house that was given when the family was separated?Wasn't that the evil woman Song who sold her?Most of the family wealth was wiped out by the Song family.

Therefore, he was not wrong, he was just pitiful, and the fault was the Song family, as well as his father and nephew who drove him out of the house.

Zhiruo was stunned: "What is he doing? Taking revenge on the British Duke?" Is his brain flooded?A person over [-] getting married?Is he taking revenge on the Queen and the British Duke, or on his own biological children?

"It is said that he asked Pan Jiajin and Pan Shuying for money, but only gave them a few hundred taels." Liang Dahai curled his lips, "This kind of person only loves himself. His parents and children are not as important as him. He doesn't feel it when life is going well, but once things go wrong , just ignore it completely.”

"The Queen and the old lady will not be affected. They won't care at all," Zhiruo shook his head and said, "It's just the Duke..., no, I want to go over and have a look." Pan Jiaming said he was not interested in the British Duke. Not close, but I still care about him in my heart. After all, he is his direct grandfather.

"When I just came here, don't forget to ask me to send a message that Ming and Ze went directly to the British Duke's mansion after school," Liang Dahai said with a smile, "They must have heard about this and went to accompany the Duke."

Zhiruo sat down again just then. Since her two brothers had already passed by, they would naturally send word back if anything happened, so she wouldn't go there for the time being.It is strange to say that the two brothers Guo Gongye and Mingze fell in love with each other, and they have almost become friends forever.

In addition to the fact that Pan Ruye is crazy and wants to join the Qi family, another big gossip in the capital is that the Sun family of the great emperor Shang was destroyed just before the Chinese New Year. Because of his involvement with the underground weapons workshop of Prince Fu's Mansion, all the Sun family's property was confiscated, and the men He was exiled to the northwest to build a city wall, and his female family members and children were sold as official slaves.But this case only involves the Beijing branch of the Sun family, and not even the main family is implicated, let alone the aunts who married outside.

People who knew the Sun family couldn't help but sigh. Mrs. Sun was really wise and lucky. She gave up half of her dowry and left. Not only did she save herself, but she also kept the other half of the dowry. I heard that Mrs. Sun also took away the dowry. Secret recipe.

There are even rumors that Mrs. Sun’s son gave his mother a dream, crying that he was killed by a relative and that he died unjustly. He also advised his mother to leave the Sun family quickly because the Sun family was immoral and a disaster was about to happen.

Everyone clicked their tongues and exclaimed: "No wonder a woman is so determined to reconcile!" Some people who criticized Mrs. Sun's reconciliation before also shut up.

After chatting about the gossip, the topic turned back to Lan Niu's arrival in the capital.

As Zhiruo had expected, Lan Niu indeed lived in Prince Rui's Mansion, and her identity was Guan Lanxin, the biological daughter of Princess Rui's Yaomei.

Before Guan Lanxin was one month old, her mother's wet nurse used her own granddaughter to marry her.Princess Rui's younger sister had died a long time ago. She died in childbirth on the way back home. The child was brought back to the house by the wet nurse, the personal maid, and a carriage driver. After raising it for more than ten years, she accidentally discovered that the child had been exchanged for the prince by a civet cat. She looks so much like her biological grandmother.The grandparents and grandson were sold, and the real Guan Lanxin was quickly taken back to her home. Princess Rui felt sorry for her niece who had suffered a lot since childhood, so she took her to the capital.

Liang Dahai relayed the information from Luoying: "Dingxiang took out a jade pendant similar to Lanniu's to win her trust and told her that the situation in the court was tense now and Taoyuan Realm was closely pursuing her, so the lord would not see her for the time being and asked her to just Just enjoy the wealthy life in the capital first. However, the defense of Ruijun Prince's Mansion is tighter than we thought. Luoying has already noticed many secret guards, and Dingxiang is following closely. In the future, general information will not be transmitted. She herself Let’s see.”

Zhiruo nodded: "Indeed, now she should just be Lan Niu who yearns for a rich life." I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at Lan Niu openly or covertly. The lord has suffered setbacks one after another. I'm afraid now Like a frightened bird, it is really not that easy to believe in a "legendary" Lan Niu.

　There are still two more updates, almost all of them have been revised. I have postponed the afternoon work to tomorrow, and I will definitely finish it today!
