Reborn on the day of marriage! After the marriage exchange, the elder sister went crazy

Chapter 129 (Additional chapter to 'Yearning for Water')

back home.

Li Jinglan walked around the room.

So much happened today.

She didn't understand for a moment.

Looking back on this, I found many doubts.

Xu Jingchen spoke to her in a hurried tone and even got up and left before she finished speaking.

This was definitely not a major issue between men and women, but it was something Xu Jingchen needed to deal with immediately.

And there was the funeral procession.

The blue Taoist robe at the entrance of the alley.

Li Jinglan always felt that there was a thread buried in the dark, which she could not find or see.

Xu Jingchen should know a lot of things.

But she couldn't ask.

How should she tell Xu Jingchen that she already knew that Lu Bozhou was the prince?

I'm afraid Xu Jingchen would arrest her before the emperor took action.

Lu Bozhou is very important to the emperor, but she is not.

Especially since she has no children now, she doesn't even have a way out to gain status by having children.

After Lu Bozhou got off work and washed his face, the first thing he did was to ask Qing Yangzi.

"Did you meet Qingyangzi today?" Lu Bozhou asked.

Li Jinglan nodded: "I have seen it."

He repeated the conversation with Xu Jingchen to Lu Bozhou verbatim, and then told him about the ransacking of Xishui Village and the disappearance of Lu Xuande's family.

When Lu Bozhou heard the conversation with Xu Jingchen, he was fine, but after hearing that his house was ransacked, Lu Bozhou's face changed slightly.

"What are these people looking for?"

Like Li Jinglan, he walked back and forth in the room several times, looking a little anxious.

Li Jinglan thought for a moment and said, "I want to ask you something. Did your mother do anything unusual before and after she passed away?"

"Why are you asking suddenly..." Lu Bozhou had just said this when several scenes that he had previously ignored suddenly flashed before his eyes.

"My mother loved painting and she painted a lot... but after she passed away, I couldn't find any of her paintings."

"And daddy's clothes, daddy's manuscripts, everything daddy used is gone."

"Mother committed suicide, why did she burn everything in the house?"

Lu Bozhou pulled his thoughts out of his memory and turned to look at Li Jinglan, "Do you think there is any direct connection between my mother's death and the house being turned upside down?"

Li Jinglan shook her head. "I don't know if it's related or not. I just know what those people are looking for."

“If they are looking for something, then do Lu Xuande’s family know something we don’t know?”

"So, someone took Lu Xuande and his family away." Li Jinglan murmured to herself.

Having said this, the couple sat opposite each other in silence for a while.

After a while, Lu Bozhou talked about what happened in the court.

"At the court meeting today, His Majesty angrily rebuked Zhao Yandao, dismissed him from his post and put him in prison, and ordered the three courts to try him. Elder Zhao knelt down and admitted his guilt, and begged to retire, but His Majesty refused."

Zhao Yandao is the descendant of Lord Zhao.

Begging for remains means asking for resignation and requesting that the remains be buried in one's hometown.

The biography of Zhang Heng in the Book of the Later Han says: He wrote a letter to the emperor asking to retire and was appointed as the Secretary of State.

The term "begging for rebirth" means that one has achieved great success but is old. After three requests, the emperor will show favor to the official and allow him to return home.

If an old minister of a high position begs to retire, it is normal to be given the title of Prince Taifu and retire as a first-rank official.

If the emperor wanted to deal with Lord Zhao, why would he allow him to use the phrase "begging for his bones"?

Of course it will be rejected.

Lord Zhao was testing the emperor's attitude.

After today's test, Lord Zhao should understand his own situation.

After thinking about Lord Zhao, Li Jinglan felt even more depressed.

Lord Zhao's situation has become clear, but their family's situation is confusing.

"Tomorrow you will tell your uncle and uncle about the disappearance of Lu Xuande's family." Li Jinglan looked at Lu Bozhou.

Lu Bozhou nodded: "This matter cannot be concealed and cannot be concealed."

The next day, Lu Bozhou told Yin Zhihai the whole story.

After listening to Lu Bozhou's words, Yin Zhihai nodded and said, "I will ask my family to take my film to ask Jingzhao Prefecture later."

But he was thinking about the first time he saw Lu Bozhou.

Whether in manners, expression, or walking posture, he is exactly the same as the emperor.

A father may speak differently to his son after being separated from him for a long time.

But there is no way to change your walking posture.

Yin Zhihai had also seen the emperor talking to Lu Bozhou, and his expression was completely different when he was talking to others.

The emperor looked at others with indifference, but looked at Lu Bozhou with kindness and joy.

Yin Zhihai felt something vaguely in his heart, but he forced himself to suppress it.

"There is a prince in the court!"

"There is a prince in the court!"

Yin Zhihai repeated this sentence in his heart many times.

When he saw Lu Shenyan, Yin Zhihai asked him casually, "When did Bozhou's father, Lu Jingzu, leave home with the Bai family?"

Lu Shenyan shook his head: "I'm not sure about the exact date. When I got the news, it was already hidden but I couldn't find anyone there, so I could only inform the family."

Was Lu Bozhou conceived by Lu Jingzu and Bai on the road?

Yin Zhihai thought of another terrible ending.

If Lu Bozhou is really...

What should he do?

Entering the cabinet in his forties, he has a bright future.

If he can hold on for another ten years, it won’t be a problem for him to become the Prime Minister.

There is no need to compete for the credit of following the dragon.

But don’t argue…

He was also branded with the word uncle by Lu Bozhou.

It can never be washed away.

The prince will not tolerate him.

If the prince ascends the throne, he will definitely be marginalized.

Seeing that Yin Zhihai had lost his usual composure, Lu Shenyan looked at him strangely: "What's wrong?"

"I remembered some official business, so I'll leave first." Yin Zhihai smiled, stood up and left.

at this time.

Xu Jingchen, the Master of Qingyang, asked to see Li Jinglan.

"It takes a lot of manpower to offer sacrifices, so I transferred twenty Taoists from the temple." Xu Jingchen said it very simply.

Li Jinglan's heart skipped a beat.

Lu Xuande’s disappearance was not caused by Xu Jingchen.

If Xu Jingchen had kidnapped Lu Xuande's family, Xu Jingchen would not have sent more people to protect Lu Bozhou today.

After a moment of stunned silence, enlightenment suddenly came to my mind.

The person who had been hiding finally took action.

Li Jinglan asked Xu Jingchen tentatively again: "The family is small and has many courtyards. Taoist priest, please choose a courtyard for those people to live in."

Xu Jingchen had obviously thought it through. "The courtyard in the southeast corner called Tingyue is good."

Li Jinglan looked calm on the surface, but her heart was in turmoil.

Tingyue and the side courtyard serve as each other's support, and can protect the main courtyard firmly.

Li Jinglan was silent for a while, "Just follow what the Taoist said."

Seeing Xu Jingchen stand up and leave, Li Jinglan suddenly asked, "Master, do you know about the disappearance of Lu Xuande's family?"

Xu Jingchen waved his whisk and said in a calm voice: "I don't know."

Li Jinglan smiled: "Not only is Lu Xuande missing, but our home in Xishui Village has also been turned upside down. Taoist priest, you should be careful when you go out recently. I'm afraid someone wants to harm my master."

Xu Jingchen turned around and faced away from Li Jinglan.

His voice was solemn: "I understand."

Just as Xu Jingchen was about to walk out of the yard, Lu Sheng ran in from outside.

She bowed to Li Jinglan and lowered her voice: "Ningxin's husband's family said that Ningxin was bought by someone for five taels of silver."

Li Jinglan turned her head and glanced at Xu Jingchen's back.

Xu Jingchen walked slowly to the gate of the courtyard without stopping.

Disappeared from Li Jinglan's sight.
