There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 376 Panic (Part [-])
Both Tang and Mrs. Lu were taken aback.

They were about to talk when a tall boy walked into the yard first.

A black cloak fluttered lightly due to the quickening of his steps. He was not very old, but he had the cold look of an old man.

Behind him was a middle-aged man in his thirties.

Both of them were dressed very luxuriously.

Lu You followed them, his brows furrowed and his expression worried.

Tang took a breath.

She has been to Lin'an City several times, and along with her relatives, she met some high-ranking families in Lin'an.

That sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy was Zhao Gui, the elder brother of Zhao Cong, the adopted son of the official family!The middle-aged man beside him is Yejia Erlang, the younger brother of the Minister of Tobe.

The faces of the two are very ugly!

Tang's fingers trembled in fright.

"Old lady?" She didn't know what to say, so she asked Mrs. Lu for help.

Mrs. Lu is the wife of the Duke of Chu. She has met the monarchs of the three dynasties, officials of all sizes in Lin'an, and various occasions.

Two juniors came, she was not afraid.

She was just worried that the future of the Lu family would be affected by her negligence.

Lu You stepped forward, "Grandma, Lin'an Xuan Delang and Ye Erlang, come to see grandma."

The old lady Lu gave Tang a cold look, walked down the steps, forced a smile on her face and said, "It turns out that Xuan Delang and Ye Erlang are here. I am sorry to welcome you at a loss."

As she spoke, leaning on her crutches, she saluted them tremblingly.

Zhao Gui and Ye Erlang were about to get angry, but when they saw her return their age to salute them two juniors, most of their anger disappeared immediately.

The two hurriedly turned around to return the salute, "Mrs. Duke, you are being polite."

"I know why you came here. Alas, it was the old man's negligence. Let's talk in the house. It's cold outside and you're traveling all the way. If you're tired, you may not be able to take it anymore." As Mrs. Chu Guogong, she gave two A junior saluting is already condescending.

Now that they have taken responsibility again, Zhao Gui and Ye Erlang are embarrassed to talk too much.

The two had no choice but to nod their heads and entered the main room.

The host is seated.

After the tea was served, Mrs. Lu immediately dismissed all the servants, leaving only Tang by her side.

She said, "I know why you came here. I received yesterday's letter, but..." She shook her head, "Blame me for being negligent, that child is naughty again, and now he has gone somewhere to play, and he is looking for it. But don't worry, nothing will happen."

Another active admission.

Zhao Gui had no choice but to suppress his anger, "I hope... Cong'er is fine, if something happens..." He said coldly, "It's not something you can explain clearly about his adoptive father."

Lu You didn't know the truth, so he was confused, what foster father?
How many adoptive fathers does that silly boy have?
Tang was so frightened that his back broke out in cold sweat, he thought that the old lady was serious, why did she keep such a fool by her side?
No, the Lu family will be held responsible if something goes wrong.

Who is not good to keep, a fool?
He is a normal person, and he can still talk to him well. Tell him where there is danger. He is confused. No matter how much you talk, can he understand?
At this point, Mrs. Lu had no choice but to comfort Zhao Gui and Ye Erlang.

The two were not familiar with Yuezhou City, and they couldn't search for people with great fanfare, and they couldn't tell the truth, so they had to rely on the Lu family to find them.

They held back their anger and let it go.

Under the arrangement of Mrs. Lu, Zhao Gui and Ye Erlang temporarily stayed in Lu's residence.

That night, Old Madam Lu instructed Tang and Lu You to send someone to look for Zhao Cong.

Tang suppressed his anger, flung his sleeves and left.

Lu You thought for a while, then walked back to the old lady's main room, and seeing the girls were there, he told them to leave.

The old lady glanced at him and said calmly, "Ask whatever you want. You are smarter and more cautious than your elder brother and second brother. It's okay to tell you."

Lu You stepped forward, glanced outside the door, and said in a low voice, "Grandmother, is the boy Cong who is borrowing from our house a member of the Zhao family in Lin'an? His elder brother... is that boy, Xuan Delang named Zhao Gui." ?”

Who is Zhao Gui? People in remote prefectures don't know, and people who often go to Lin'an, who don't know?
Where did Zhao Gui's younger brother go now? Does anyone know who has contacts with the Lin'an clan?

Although the Lu family is in decline, there are still disciples of the old man who lived with the Lu family, and Lu You often meets with them, and he knows more or less the news of Lin'an.

"Did you see it?" Mrs. Lu sighed.

"The two look very similar. I guess, if it's an ordinary brother, you won't be so worried, and they look alike, it's probably true." Lu You said.

The old lady Lu rubbed her forehead, "I originally thought that I would take the child from Luo Cheng and his wife, raise him well, and cure him of his illness. At that time, he will be sent to Lin'an in a happy manner. Home is also a great achievement, but who knows..."

Her face darkened with anger, "What's going on? Where did that child go?"

She looked at Lu You, "You must find him, otherwise, the officials will blame you, and you may lose your ranking in the lock hall test next spring."

The old lady grabbed Lu You's hand with a solemn expression.

Ever since Lu You knew Zhao Cong's identity, he had guessed the old lady's intentions.

There are two kinds of final exams in this dynasty. One is the palace exam for ordinary students. It takes a lot of time to go up from the provincial exam to the next level.Some people never made it to the level of the palace examination in their entire lives.

Another big test is the lock hall test.

This is specially for the children of aristocratic families, and there is no need to go up the exam level by level.

If you are knowledgeable, you can directly apply for the exam when you reach the age of thirteen.

In this exam, human feelings are more important than ability.

The official family will give priority to the family background of the children of the aristocratic family, even if the grades are poor, they can still get the first place in the exam.

It is said that Qin Xun, the grandson of the prime minister of this dynasty, and several distant relatives surnamed Zhao will be taking the exam next year.

These people are his rivals.

The old lady kept Zhao Cong in the mansion because she was afraid that if those people surpassed him, she could use the kindness of raising Zhao Cong and ask the officials to treat him kindly.

Thinking of this, Lu You couldn't help blaming himself, hating that his knowledge was not good enough to trample Qin Xun under his feet.

Can't surpass Zhao Shicheng!

Lu You clasped his fists in salute to the old lady Lu and said, "Grandmother, please rest assured, You will definitely work harder, strive for next year's lock hall test, win the first prize, and bring honor to the family. In addition, people will be sent to look for Zhao Cong overnight."

The old lady Lu pressed his hand, "Sanlang, our Lu family depends entirely on you."

Lu You's heart sank, and the pressure doubled, "Grandma, You, you will definitely live up to grandma's expectations!"

"Okay, okay, then I can rest assured." Mrs. Lu sighed.

……

Li Jiaoniang was worried that Zhao Cong wouldn't be able to eat well, so she would come to the back door of Lu's residence every morning and bring food to watch him quietly.

This morning, she brought the soup-filled beef buns from Chengji Baozi Shop, and the sweet and sour fish cubes that she made herself early in the morning.

Same as yesterday morning, she asked the little gray hairy ball to sneak into the house first, and called out Zhao Cong.

The little gray hairy curly ball was sleeping soundly this morning, and Li Jiaoniang carried it out of the nest, dozing off all the way here.

The paws grabbed the horse's mane, for fear of being thrown out.

However, Li Jiaoniang ran too fast on the horse, and it almost fell off several times.

I'm in a bad mood right now.

It yawned and jumped into the courtyard, cursing and looking for someone.

Not long after, it jumped out, squeaking strangely, "Jiao Niang, it's amazing, your silly son is gone."

Li Jiaoniang knew that this little thing told it to get up early, and she was angry in her heart, so she deliberately said this to anger her.

She picked up the little guy's ears and said with a sneer, "The old lady's son disappeared early in the morning, do you believe that my old lady told you to disappear now?"

The little guy hummed aggrievedly, "It's really gone, many people are looking for him."

Li Jiaoniang was stunned, really gone?
Bad, could it be that the idiot was not used to living in Lu's house, so he ran away quietly by himself?Do not know the way, lost?
Blame the Lu family, who disappeared and didn't notify her?
What does the Lu family want to do?
Li Jiaoniang was filled with remorse, if she knew this, she might as well have broken face with the Lu family and forcibly took him away.

"I'll take a look."

This time it was an open and aboveboard meeting, she turned the horse around and headed for the gate of the Lu family.

Li Jiaoniang came to the main gate of Lu's house, and she saw Lu You directing the servants, looking for something.

She got off the horse, walked forward with a basket, and greeted with a smile, "Third Cousin, good morning, so many servants... who are you looking for?"

When Lu You saw her, he thought of Logan, wanted to ask about Logan, thought of the old lady's warning to him, and had important things to do right now, so he suppressed those thoughts in his heart.

"It's my cousin, it's... nothing wrong, I'm just looking for a servant who stole something." He said coyly.

"Oh, you have to look for it." Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "I brought some food for Cong'er, let me take a look at him."

She tossed the horse to a servant, and gave a handful of copper coins, "Xizi, look at the horse, I'll come out right away."

Xizi took the money with a bitter expression on her face, hoping that when Mrs. Li came out, she would not use him as a punching bag. Her son disappeared, so she should be angry, right?
Lu You knew that it was impossible to stop her, so he simply did not stop her and let Li Jiaoniang go into the mansion.

If she wants to see Zhao Cong, she must see the old lady first, let the old lady tell her.
