Chapter 374 – The Grace of Saving Lives
“Old master, a guest seeks an audience.”
The butler who arrived at just the right time broke the tension. Luo Tai Shi’s expression abruptly tightened, and he negatively raised his hands after glancing at the butler: “Send the eldest girl back to her room!”
“Grandfather!” She
Luo Taishi arrived at the front yard amidst Luo Yanru’s calls, and just as he entered the flower hall, he saw a tall figure pacing back and forth inside the hall door.
“Marquis?”
Luo Taishi lifted his robe and entered the door, his steps slowed down after seeing the person clearly.
“Eunuch.”
Marquis Jingnan turned around and bowed to him.
……
Luo Yanru was sent back to her room, not so much sent, but rather “escorted”, two grannies left and right against her arm, followed by two guards! Luo Yanru’s heart sank to the bottom of the valley, after entering the room, looked at the backhanded by the grannies closed the door, and then looked through the window at the door hipped porch guarding the door of the grannies and maids, even if Luo Yanru again calm and steady, see this battle, but also can not help but panic!
She slapped the door, “Open the door for me!”
No one came up outside the door.
She continued to clap before a subdued maid responded, “Girl don’t clap, the old master gave the order, the slave girls don’t dare to open the door.”
“I want to see the old madam, I want to see madam!”
There was no more sound outside the door.
The Luo family mansion was large and there were not many people, such a little commotion could not be seen to be immediately transmitted to the other courtyards, this request of hers was bound to be undeliverable.
“Miss!”
There was only a personal maid in the house, and she was equally anxious at this time, “What is the old master doing?”
Not only does she want to know? Luo Yanru also wants to know! Even if she and Huo Xiu had crossed over to the elders of the two families and gotten to know each other, this matter was out of his expectation, and she bluntly stated that she had known Huo Xiu for a long time, which went against the ethics of a great lady, he had no reason to imprison her without reason! If he is such an unreasonable person, why has he been respected by so many people over the years?
What’s wrong with Grandfather?
She gripped the window flute tightly, looking at the window page that had been snapped up from the outside, and her heart felt like it had sunk into a bottomless pit.
Is he targeting Huo Xiu?
Why target Huo Xiu? Even if Huo Xiu did do some bad things, there will be chastisement waiting for him, at this time outsiders don’t know, the Luo family is not in the dynasty, even less should know! Then why is he targeting him? Obviously the original two family exchanges are normal!
She could not control a sense of ominous feeling, clenched the cuffs and stood for a long time, at this time the door opened, came in a half old woman, on the Luo Yanru’s gaze on the anxious wink. Luo Yanru called out, “Nurse!” The maid saw the tray in her hand and hurriedly came forward to take it. The nursemaid turned around and closed the door behind her, asking anxiously, “What’s going on? Just now I came out from the wife’s side, I heard that the girl was grounded. This is good ……”
“I don’t know!” Luo Yanru shook her head, then said, “Since Mammy is here, why don’t you do me a favor!”
“What kind of favor? Just tell me what you want to do!”
“Help me to find out who Grandfather is here to see. Then come and tell me!”
Earlier, Luo Taishi was obviously angry when he heard that she had gone to see Huo Xiu, but when he heard that he had a visitor, he hurried off without saying a word, so her intuition told her that he must have a secret, and the person who had come must not be an ordinary person!
This is not a big deal, the nanny nodded: “Just now I asked, the old master just do not allow the girl to go out, no matter what else. I’ll go now, and come back later to resume my orders.”
The maid sent her away, turned around and said: “Miss, in the end what happened?”
Luo Yanru walked behind the case and sat down: “No matter what, let’s do our own thing first. Help me sharpen the ink!”
Huo Xiu’s side is still waiting for her help, she can’t help with anything else, but the details of these three officials in the court, she has to make it clear, even though she handed it over to him!
……
Luo family flower hall, Luo Taishi and Marquis Jingnan is no longer there.
Nursing mother to the outside, asked to see the guests of Luo Taishi, and then asked them to go, has been inquiring out, then folded back to the backyard to report to Luo Yanru.
At this time and Luo House a street away from the Bei Shi Hutong a small mansion, Luo Taishi is guiding the Marquis of Jingnan stepped on the corridor to the east side of the courtyard.
Halfway there, a granny came out to greet him.
Mrs. Luo said, “Where is he?”
“Back to your words, everything is as usual.”
Luo Taishi looked at her, followed her into the courtyard door.
In the courtyard, there is the fragrance of flowers and birdsong, a few maids with snacks and tea just into the courtyard, talking softly, accompanied by the aroma of food, the hustle and bustle of the streets coming through the wall, peaceful and leisurely.
Luo Taishi two people into the east wing of the hall, since someone made tea. Not long ago, the door and the ring of the ring qui tinkling, instantly own silhouettes across the entry, brocade clothing Cui Dian, the fragrance of the nose, come in the young girl’s footsteps are four flat and steady, dignified and dignified demeanor. To the front of the two, then Ying Ying gently bowed: “Yanping thanked the marquis for the grace of rescue, thanked the master for the grace of stay.”
Both of them made the granny come forward to assist: “County princess is very serious. After a night’s rest in this crude place, I wonder if county princess is still accustomed to it?”
Huo Mingyu raises her head and gazes at the two of them, “Last night, Yanping encountered a sudden change of heart, if it wasn’t for the Marquis who happened to pass by and saved me, would I still be able to stand here safely? I can get out from under the criminals has been fortunate, not to mention there are these clean and peaceful place to breathe, the master of this mansion, although small, but everywhere thoughtful, I am not unaccustomed to place. Receive this grace, in the coming day my brother and sister will certainly repay.”
“I didn’t do anything, but I just sent a few people over by the way. It’s all thanks to Marquis Jingnan.”
Marquis Jingnan looked at Taiji Luo: “Why should Taiji be modest? Last night was so chaotic, I was eager to go after the murderer, and was afraid that the county princess would make another mistake, and I just knew that you had a mansion nearby, which alerted you, the old master. Rarely have you been able to take care of it from the beginning to the end, so that the county princess can rest well, you can’t be faulted.”
Huo Mingyu looks at them and pushes them around for a bit before finally turning to Marquis Jingnan, “Dare I ask the Marquis, that outlaw last night, has he been caught since?”
Marquis Jingnan sighs, “I was delayed for a while and let him escape. However, the city gates are closed, so it’s hard for him to fly.”
Huo Mingyu says, “Even so, this person didn’t leave any clues, it’s impossible to find him in a sea of people.”
Marquis Jingnan hangs his head in deep thought.
Huo Mingyu adds, “By the way, how is my brother? I actually slept until Fangcai, not going back for such a long time, he wants to be in a hurry to go crazy. Can I ask you to tell my brother for me?”
Marquis Jingnan relieved: “County princess need not worry, your brother went to the palace with the emperor last night. He didn’t leave the palace and return home until more than an hour ago. Therefore we did not have time to tell him. But now that county princess has woken up, I can now personally escort county princess back to the palace.”
Huo Mingyu’s face instantly changes when she hears that Huo Xiu accompanied the emperor to the palace last night. But soon she nods her head, “Thank you, Marquis.”
