Chapter 306 Impeachment of Duchamp?
Lin Rong went to Xie Qian with the evidence, and the two discussed for half an hour before finalizing the matter.

In the next few days, Xie Qian went up and down as usual, and Lin Rong didn't do anything special, just occasionally went to the general's mansion, or followed Jiang Ning to the camp for a while.

It has been seven days since Zhou Lai disappeared. From the initial restlessness, Du Heng gradually developed a feeling of luck——

Could it be that something happened to Zhou Lai himself?

Or, Zhou Lai was very loyal, even if someone found out, he never confessed to her?

Du Heng's previous life had been smooth and smooth, even if he was not happy after marriage, most of the things he encountered were jealousy in the back house, and rarely involved major events.

Now that this happened, she was indeed a little panicked, but this matter was kept from others, and no one could reveal it.

However, after four or five days of work, Du Heng had already worn out a lot, and even fell ill during the period.

These days Lu Hua sent people to ask questions very attentively, and in the end even Lu Mu sent a woman over, saying that she was here to bring some food to Miss Du, and to see how Miss Du was doing.

Du Heng put it on, the old woman saw Du Heng's appearance, went back to the mansion and said to Lu Mu and Lu Hua:
"It's because she's sick. Miss Du's small face is always pale, and her mouth looks like she's on fire. She's tired and listless."

Mother Lu blamed Lu Hua and said: "Look, it's possible that you are mad at me! You obviously asked your sister to go swimming in the lake, so you are so polite, you insist on dating her concubine sister! If you go out in private, others will not." I can't say anything, but I let people bump into me again..."

Lu Hua had a headache and said, "Mother! Mother asked someone to go and see Miss Du again, okay?"

Although Lu's mother is approaching her forties, she is well maintained, with a helpless expression on her wrinkle-free face: "I just sent someone there today, how can I go?"

Lu Hua has always been favored at home, he is the eldest son of the Lu family, and the Lu family is also counting on his marriage with Du Heng, so he did not hesitate to make the request.

"My mother can take the Shu brocade double-sided embroidered screen that I sent from the south to see Miss Du's illness tomorrow, and talk to Miss Du by the way. With the identity of a mother, Miss Du will not be rude."

Mother Lu stared beautifully: "The screen has only been in my warehouse for a few days? Are you thinking about giving it away?"

Lu Hua smiled and said: "The left and right are our family's things. If you go out from your mother, you will return to our family's pockets in the future..."

Although Lu Mu was reluctant to give up, after thinking about it carefully, what Lu Hua said was somewhat reasonable.

She raised her eyelids and said to Lu Hua: "Then I will run this trip for you tomorrow. Just one thing, before you marry the daughter of the Du family, you must never behave like this!"

Lu Hua nodded hurriedly.

On the second day, Mrs. Lu really came to the Du Mansion with a generous gift.

The old lady of the Du Mansion was ill recently and had been recuperating behind closed doors, and there was no custom in the mansion for a concubine's hospitality, so Jia Shi from the second room came out to greet her.

Mrs. Jia seldom socializes on weekdays, and her husband is a little-known little sesame official, and he was able to meet the wife of the Secretary of the Ministry of War because of the honor of Du's residence.

She brought him into the reception hall, ordered the left and right to serve tea and snacks, and was attentive for a while, but Mrs. Lu's face was always indifferent.

Jia Shi smiled and said, "Why does Madam have time to come to the house today?"

Mrs. Lu took into account that she was Du Heng's aunt, and she didn't want to get a bad reputation, so she dealt with her and said, "I heard that the eldest lady of Du's mansion has been ill for a few days, so come and have a look. Ah Heng How sick are you?"

As soon as Jia Shi heard that he was coming to see Du Heng, he already felt a little displeased in his heart, but he didn't show it.

She smiled and said: "This girl's body is not good when she is small, and she often suffers from headaches and brain fever. Please trouble Madam and remember."

At the same time, he asked the servant: "Miss San, has she returned from school? Why don't you come to accompany Mrs. Lu?"

The mansion has always been headed by Du Heng, even Du Wu, who is a concubine from the eldest house, can surpass the serious daughter who is a concubine from the second house.

Jia's wholeheartedly wanted to let her daughter stand out, so she called her servants to get Miss San to come over early.

Mrs. Lu valued Du Heng's status, but she didn't care whether she was in good health or not, and she didn't want to see the lady of the second room, so she declined politely: "It's a good thing for a girl to study at home, so why bother to call her back in a hurry! I'll go to Ah Heng's yard to have a look right now, don't call Miss San."

Jia Shi still wanted to say a few more words, but Madam Lu had already led her servants to Du Heng's yard, and she was so angry that she stomped her feet on the spot.

Du Heng got the news and knew that Mrs. Lu would come, so she called someone to arrange the yard a little bit, and didn't let her into the house.

Seeing Du Heng's haggard look, Mrs. Lu hurried forward, held her hand, and said distressedly, "Oh, look at this little face. How did you become so sick? What did the doctor say?"

Du Heng was in a bad mood, and being held by Mrs. Lu made him even more disgusted——

Before she married Lu Hua in her previous life, this Mrs. Lu was such an affectionate and loving mother.

But on the second day after entering the house, Lu Hua's mother set rules for her, and Lu Hua also watched coldly.

Not to mention the maids that Mrs. Lu stuffed into Lu Hua's room later, all of them were just to scare her off.

Du Heng forced a smile, always with a little alienation on his face, and said: "Thank you Madam for your concern. The doctor said it was a wind blowing, and it will be fine in two days."

Mrs. Lu is a fine person, she saw that Du Heng's illness was a heart disease, and seeing that she was not as affectionate to her as before, she believed in her heart that she was annoyed by the matter of Lu Hua.

Dang even smiled, and only cared in a warm voice: "When the wind blows, you should take a good rest, and the people below should also take care of you carefully. You child, since your mother was not around since you were a child, is it true that the maid and mother-in-law are not dedicated to serving you? Or It takes someone who knows the cold and hot to take care of you..."

Du Heng knew that there was something in her words, so he just pretended not to hear it, bowed his head slightly, and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

Lu's mother didn't talk much about this topic, she took Du Heng to chat for a while, and then ordered the people below to bring things over, sat for a long time, and then left.

After leaving the Du Mansion and sitting in the carriage back to the mansion, Mrs. Lu's face relaxed.

"I lost my mother a long time ago, and my health is so poor, who is going to be restrained when I marry her! With this air of a young lady, who will you show me?"

The woman serving on the side apologized with a smile: "Ma'am, calm down. Isn't Miss Du's temper famously noble? Besides, the young master has offended her again, so the madam is being wronged for the young master."

Mrs. Lu snorted coldly again, closed her eyes and regained her composure.

After Lu's mother left, Du Heng looked coldly at the things in the yard, they were all flashy things, but in her last life, she took all the falsehoods of others as the truth.

In this world, is there anyone who really treats her?

Lin Zhi, the only one who had saved her in the previous life and expressed pure kindness towards her, is now also suspicious of her and sending people to investigate her.

If he really found out something, what should she do?

She has already tied all her heart to him, if he hates her...

Thinking like this, Du Heng felt sad, and couldn't help covering his face, and wept silently.

……

The sudden attack of Lin Zhi and his party occurred on the tenth day after Zhou Lai disappeared.

It was the first day for him and Yao Chao to be on official errands, and the emperor had recovered from his injuries after falling off his horse, so he went to court early.

Lin Rong's confession in the general's mansion was presented by Xie Qian in the court hall.

After discussing the business, Xie Qian came out and saluted the emperor on the throne: "I report to Your Majesty, I have a statement."

Xie Qian had always been quiet in the early court, and he never took the initiative to stand up. The emperor didn't guess what kind of trouble he was making, so he just rolled his eyelids: "Sure."

Xie Qian took out the testimony, and Eunuch Da, who was in front of the imperial court, went down the steps knowingly, and presented it to the emperor with both hands.

The emperor glanced lazily. There were not many words on the rice paper, so he read ten lines at a glance.

The emperor seemed to be interested, and suddenly sat up straight, with a smile in his voice, and asked: "Aiqing is going to impeach Du Shangshu?"

He sat on the high imperial steps, and his voice spread along the hall to every corner.

There was an uproar in the hall for a while.
