Chapter 381 – The Residence
The second master was busy saying, “Resignation Mo daughter-in-law, breaking into the house of the Wen Wang’s foreign room, there must be real evidence, otherwise it’s not good to settle the matter ah. Wen Wang is still a prince even if he is not popular with the Emperor.”
That guess was not far from the truth, but Jiang Yishi did not have any real evidence in hand.
She said, “I can’t take that much into account now, if I go earlier, big sister will be safer sooner.”
Duke Cheng was a mixed bag and frowned, “Eldest is too careful. Who cares what happens to him later, hurry up and find the person. If it is too late ……”
He didn’t dare to say anything further and sighed deeply. If the moon maiden was spoiled, how could she live.
Jiang Yishi said, “King Wen and the Emperor went to the Great Hall of Fu Xiang and won’t come home too early.”
She both hoped that Meng Zhimo would come back early and feared that Meng Zhimo would come back early. If he came back late, the King of Wen would go to the other courtyard late as well, which would give them more time to save the people.
Not long after, Liu and the four grannies came running over in strong armor, carrying swords and iron rods in their hands.
At this moment, Liu’s image was even taller in the eyes of Duke Cheng, and he also felt that she was especially righteous.
Duke Cheng said, “Madam is powerful.”
Liu pretended not to hear.
Shui Ling also ran in a strong suit, holding flowers in her arms.
She knows that flowers are smart, ears and good, thinking that the master let take flowers to, must be to listen to the movement of the inside.
Hua Hua meowed, excited, and ran into Jiang Yishi’s arms.
A quarter of an hour or so later, Meng Tong, Wang Su, and Meng Xiang came running, and more than a hundred people had gathered in the courtyard.
Jiang Yishi was whispering orders to Meng Xiang and the others when a voice came, “Master Shizi is back.”
Meng Zhimo walked over in his armor, his face as heavy as water.
“What’s going on?”
Jiang Yishi whispered to Meng Ruimo again about her suspicions.
Meng Ruimo gritted his teeth and cursed, “That son of a bitch.”
He didn’t dare to delay, and first asked Meng Qingshan to go to King Ping’s residence to say that he would ask King Ping to bring people to secretly monitor King Wen’s residence. If King Wen was not at the other house, he would find an excuse to break into King Wen’s house.
With just one Meng Ruimo, he definitely couldn’t break into the Prince’s Mansion at night, he had to ask King Ping for help.
He added to the crowd, ”Meng Xiang lead thirty people to the three back doors to intercept them, and we cannot spare anyone who escapes. Steward Wang led twenty men to block the entrance to the alleyway, not allowing anyone to go out. Steward Meng and Meng Lianshan each lead ten men into the left and right courtyards, and the rest follow me into the center courtyard. If you see the man in the portrait, you must wield it, and it’s best to leave him alive.”
Cai Yunqing bought the left and right courtyards as well, and the three courtyards were connected as one.
While Meng Zhimo and the others watched over the Wenwang Mansion, they also watched over those other courtyards from afar, but it never happened that there was anything strange there.
Meng Xiang and Meng Lianshan and the others knew the location and distribution of the separate courtyards.
Several voices said in unison, “By order.”
Meng Zhimo didn’t allow Jiang Yishi to go and hurriedly left with the crowd.
Hua Hua returned to Shui Ling’s arms.
Only Jiang Yishi and Second Master Meng were left in the courtyard in an instant.
The light snow was still drifting, and the snowflakes around the lanterns turned red, as bright as blood.
Second Master Meng’s eyes no longer had the trepidation they had earlier. Old father said that in his absence, he would listen to everything from Ruimo.
The second master waited for news here, and Jiang Yishi went back to Fu An Hall.
Other than the second and third wives and the second grandmother accompanying the old lady, everyone else had been sent away.
Green Fei and Xia Zhi were also there.
The old lady’s eyes were red from crying. “That girl never lets us worry about it, going back to her mother’s home for a few years, how much trouble has she caused …… to tell her over and over again, don’t run around, don’t be soft in the ears. The sky is almost dark, but also run to the embroidery workshop to do what ah ……”
Jiang Yi Shiri old lady’s counting, asked Xia Zhi said, “What is going on?”
Xia Zhi cried, “I don’t know how I fell asleep, and when I woke up, Great Grandma was gone.”
Jiang Yishi asked again, “How did you know that there is a bamboo flower and bear bed screen in Jinshi Embroidery?”
Xia Zhi said, “Third Grandma Li bought one and brought it out for people to see. Great Auntie especially liked it, saying that the flower bear embroidery was even cuter than cats and small pugs ……”
Looking at the pit screen of the Jinshi Embroidery Workshop, on the way back from the Li family and happened to have a tummy upset, Third Grandma Li is the King of Wen re after the start of friendship with Meng Yue …… If the Third Grandma Li has no problem, Jiang Yishi to death do not believe it.
She persuaded the old lady for a while, back to the floating life courtyard.
Huang Xin was sent back to the courtyard, and she came back to the Floating Life Residence.
The two children were both asleep, only Huang Xin was sitting on the bed crying, her eyes red from crying.
Seeing auntie return, she jumped into her arms again.
“Aunt ……”
Jiang Yishi wiped her tears and comforted her, “Great uncle has returned and brought people to save your mother. Great uncle is so powerful, he will bring your mother back unharmed.”
Can she really come back unharmed? Jiang Yishi wasn’t sure.
Huang Xin stopped her tears when she heard that Great Uncle had brought people to save her mother. As long as Great Uncle made a move, he would definitely be able to get his mother back.
Huang Xin was unwilling to go back to her own small courtyard, so Jiang Yishi had someone take her to the south room of the west wing to rest.
Jiang Yishi looked at the bouncing candlelight, and the face of King Wen surfaced in the candlelight.
If he was really the one who did all the bad things, he had failed a good opportunity.
God allowed him to be reborn, perhaps pitying him for being too much of a wimp in his previous life, there were too many things that could be reversed. It did not occur to him that he did not use his foresight to strengthen himself and reverse his fate, but instead he tried to do all the bad things he could, and also put his hands on innocent women ……
Meng Ruimo and Cheng Guo Gong, the first lady on horseback ran in front, followed by dozens of people on horseback and dozens of people in front of the runners, and one person on a donkey.
The one riding the donkey was Shui Ling. She didn’t know how to ride a horse, only a donkey.
Meng Ruimo several people wearing armor, the pedestrians on the road thought that it was the imperial court army leading the plainclothes yamen to arrest the prisoners, and they were busy avoiding going to the two sides.
More than half an hour later, they arrived at the entrance of a hutong, and all of them dispersed according to Meng Ruimo’s order.
Shui Ling rode up on her donkey and said, “Master Shizi, something seems to have happened to Hua Hua.”
Meng Ruimo picked up Hua Hua.
Hua Hua was on the verge of crying, and when it was still far away, it heard Meng Yue’s cries and pleas for mercy.
It meowed, “Big Aunt, Big Aunt ……”
But its words were unintelligible to Shui Ling.
Now, Meng Yue s voice is gone, and a man reported to the king of Wen, saying that a group of people had entered the hutong, and the king of Wen asked people to hide Meng Yue in a dark room, and also let a man escape from the back door ……
Meng Gaoshan went forward and tapped the door and roared, “Open the door, open the door ……”
The door opened and a man blocked the doorway cursing, “Blind thing ……”
Meng Gaoshan pushed him in with a palm, “Roll.”
The crowd rushed through the gate, and a dozen more guards ran out of the courtyard.
“Daring mad thief, this is the King of Wen’s special courtyard.”
Meng Zhimo said in a deep voice, “The imperial guards are collaborating with the Jingzhao Prefectural Yamen to handle the eucalyptus, and someone has reported that this place is harboring the court’s key criminal, Bai Chunian. Anyone who dares to obstruct this is hindering the court from handling the eucalyptus.”
