Chapter 105 Aunt Zhang digs her own trap (1)
"The thing is like this..." Murong Yu looked at the maids in the inner room, and Aunt Ma understood: "I have an important matter to discuss with the eldest lady, Hongling, Hongzhu, take people outside to guard, No one is allowed in."

"Yes!" Hongling and Hongzhu led away.

Knowing that outsiders could not hear their conversation, Murong Yu still lowered his voice: "Auntie's parents, are they in Yunnan?" , she had a father who made a mistake in the capital and was demoted to Yunnan.

"Yes." Auntie Ma's eyes were filled with a layer of sadness: "When my father was demoted to Yunnan, I had just married into the Marquis Mansion, and in the blink of an eye, it has been more than ten years..."

"Is there any correspondence between Auntie and them?" This is what Murong Yu is most concerned about.

Aunt Ma sighed, with a bitter smile: "Yunnan is a long way from the capital, we communicate three or four times a year..."

"That's an ordinary courier, right? If it's a fast one, although it's not as fast as a fast horse with [-] miles, it can arrive in a month or so..." Murong Yu had a faint idea in his heart.

The bitterness in Aunt Ma's eyes was even stronger, and there were hidden tears, she muttered to herself: "But the speed difference is not what anyone likes to use..."

After wiping her eyes, Aunt Ma cheered herself up: "Miss, what do you want to tell me?"

"My aunt must have heard about the death of the servant girl in Luoyang Palace..."

Aunt Ma nodded: "Everyone in the capital knows about this matter. That little thief is really brave. He actually sneaked into the Luoyang Palace in broad daylight to kill people and steal things. It's really desperate..."

Murong Yu shook his head, eyes serious: "The truth of the matter is not like this, there is another reason for the death of the little maid..."

"What...what's going on?" Aunt Ma has lived in the capital for a long time, so she naturally knows that the rumors of the world are often exaggerated, and even the rumors are deliberately released by people with good intentions. Only a few people know the truth.

"There are spies in Luoyang Palace..." Although Murong Yu was just suspicious, it was true that someone had made peace with Zhang Yushi.

Aunt Ma's eyes widened in shock: "Is this true?"

"There is absolutely no falsehood." Murong Yu's beautiful face was dignified like never before: "The number of spies and their masters behind the scenes are unknown, and I don't know if there are any spies in other houses. To prevent things from leaking, To scare the snake away, the Luoyang Palace lied and said that the incident was done by a thief..."

"How did the eldest lady know about such a secret?" Aunt Ma just asked subconsciously, without any other meaning.

"Uh, Ouyang Hanfeng, the eldest son of the Luoyang Palace, told me quietly. He said that there might be spies in our Hou Mansion, and he specially reminded me to be more careful..." Murong Yu smiled faintly, lying without changing his face and heartbeat.

Although Aunt Ma has just returned home, she sits in the old lady's Songshou hall every day. The old lady did not hide from her that she deliberately matched Murong Yu and Ouyang Hanfeng. She did not doubt Murong Yu's words, and she was relieved. At the same time, he raised his heart: "If there are spies in the Hou's mansion, what should I do?"

"Don't worry, Auntie. The prince of Luoyang has already found out that the spies sneaked into each mansion for one thing. The prince secretly made a plan. In a few days, he will secretly leave for Yunnan..." In the previous life, the king of Luoyang was in Yunnan. Assassinated, he went to Yunnan to investigate the matter.

"What is it that made the spies risk their lives to sneak into the Luoyang Palace?" Aunt Ma's curiosity was aroused.

"I don't know about that, the prince didn't say anything." Murong Yu really didn't know about the matter that King Luoyang went to Yunnan secretly to investigate.

Aunt Ma didn't continue to ask. After all, the eldest lady belongs to her daughter's family and has never been married. For her benefit, it is impossible for the son to tell her all the truth.

Murong Yu reminded him further: "Auntie, the king of Luoyang went to Yunnan, and it was very dangerous. Your father is working in Yunnan..."

Aunt Ma suddenly realized: "The meaning of the eldest lady..." Letting her father secretly pay attention to the movements of the King of Luoyang, and if there is an assassin to kill him, he will come out to rescue him. Rescuing the Lord of Luoyang is a great achievement!
"Auntie, it's getting late, so I won't bother you. After Auntie rests, my little brother will be healthier." Murong Yu stood up and said goodbye. Aunt Ma is a smart person, and I have already ordered things for her. If she Knowing how to seize the opportunity, her father will definitely make a contribution, and it will not be a problem to transfer back to the capital.

Three years ago, Zhang Yushi saved the emperor and got promoted and made a fortune. This time, he followed his example and asked Aunt Ma's father to save the king of Luoyang.

"Miss, the messenger is very slow. It will take more than a month for my letter to be delivered to Yunnan. I'm afraid..." This is a golden opportunity that cannot be missed.

Murong Yu smiled faintly: "My aunt is pregnant, but it's a happy event. It's human nature to write a letter to ask the Hou's mansion to go to Yunnan to announce the good news to Mr. Ma. What is my aunt worried about?"

Aunt Ma reacted instantly: "Thank you for your guidance, Miss. I know how to do it." The Luoyang King's business in Yunnan is a secret, and very few people in Beijing know about it, and he must never know it in the letter he wrote to Yunnan. revealed.

What's more, Aunt Zhang has been waiting to catch her. If she sees the clue in the letter, she might frame herself up.

"By the way, Auntie, Hongbei is not called Hongbei now, she is Auntie Zhang's newly bought maid, Luyan." Whether it is Hongbei or Luyan, as long as she is against him, he will slowly get rid of her .

After the meal, Murong Yu went to the Songshou Hall to greet the old lady. From a distance, he could smell the strong fragrance of tea, and bursts of laughter came from the Songshou Hall.

The curtain opened, Murong Yu walked in, the old lady greeted with a smile: "Yu'er is here, come and taste this tea, it's made by a maid, it's very different."

"Really, then I need to drink more." Murong Yu walked into the inner room, and Aunt Zhang was there, with a smile in her eyes, it was indescribably weird, maybe she had a conspiracy, I had to deal with it carefully.

Lu Yan fiddled with the fragrant tea in her hand, the heat was like a paradise, the fresh tea fragrance lingered in her nose, she knew the tea was top grade before she drank it.
