After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

The tied monk was called Wuneng, and he was already covered in wounds!

Chunlan was unwilling to give up, so as soon as the sun rose she, Qiuxiang and two other women started looking everywhere, and finally saw Wuneng sweeping the yard!

Several men tied up the man fiercely, dragged him to the residence of the Duke's wife, and threatened that whoever dared to stop him would be taken to see the official!

It was obvious that Wu Neng had done something bad, which made the nobleman very angry, so he had to give way!

Nanny Wei asked a palace soldier named Zheng Er to interrogate him, and he confessed everything after a short while!

It turned out that it was the mother of the wife of the Marquis of Changning who found him, stuffed ten taels of silver into his pocket, and told him that if there was a fire in the yard, she would wait and see if anyone came out of the yard after everyone had left.

If there is no one, then forget it. If there is, then lead the person into the forest behind the mountain and get away yourself!

Wu Neng regretted very much now, because of his greed for the ten taels of silver, he lost his place to live!

Zhikong glanced at Su Qingling, and said something calmly:

"Female donor, life is short, and plants and trees only last for a season. Only by letting go can you move forward with ease!"

Su Qingling looked at Zhikong with deep eyes. The old monk had kind eyes and the depths of his eyes were as dark as the night, as if he could see through people's hearts!

No wonder there are rumors that Monk Zhikong is an accomplished monk. He looks to be in his 50s, but some say he is actually already in his 60s!

Although Su Qingling was somewhat frightened, she was more angry:

"Master, it's easy to say. If a drowning person is let go, wouldn't it make the relatives sad and the enemies happy?"

Zhikong shook his head and sighed: "Karma is cyclical, I am obsessed with appearances!"

Soon, the Duke's Mansion's convoy drove away from Chongming Temple!

In Sijiu City, the wife of Marquis Changning led the people back to the city gate at night, and dawn was about to break!

After waiting for about half a quarter of an hour, the heavy city gate opened, and the carriage from the Marquis of Changning's Mansion entered the city first!

By the time the carriage arrived at the gate, it was more than half an hour later!

This street of Changning Marquis Mansion is mostly inhabited by the families of fourth- and fifth-rank officials. At this time, the servants and old women who were out shopping had already been coming and going!

Mother Guan got off the carriage first and laughed loudly:

"Oh, Madam is frightened. Go to the court doctor and wait for him to check on her later!"

He turned around and held up one of the marquis's wives' hands, and carefully helped the servant step on the horse stool to the flat ground!

Then I heard Madam Hou say:

"My two good daughters-in-law and daughters were also frightened, and they all need to see it!"

Everyone dismounted, and then heard Xie Yinyin exclaim in surprise:

"Oh, why is my sister-in-law missing? When we left, didn't she say she would follow us?"

Green Bud picked up what her young lady said:

"The young mistress may be a little unwell, so the carriage should go slowly. She may be back soon!"

Mother Wu's voice suddenly rose: "Oh my, this won't do. Our young mistress is pregnant with the grandson of the Xie family. We have to be careful!"

Many people had noticed the stop of the carriage of the Marquis' Mansion, and when they heard the two servants' reply, they all pricked up their ears to listen, so that they could have something to talk about when they returned to the mansion!

After hearing what Mother Wu said, Liu Diejing's face changed drastically and she said hurriedly:

"Oh my, you were the only one who rushed me when we were leaving. I told you to watch the young mistress get on the carriage before we left together. How could you be so careless!"

"Go find the butler and bring some people to welcome them. If anything happens, I'll tell you how I'll deal with you!"

Soon, Butler Xie brought out more than a dozen servants. It was obvious that something had happened in the Marquis Changning's Mansion!

Liu Diejing was persuaded by Mother Wu to return to the mansion, and Liu Yinyin and her servant also said as they walked:

"Sister-in-law, what a fool! Could she have been frightened by the fire? She must have been so frightened that she dared not go fast and fell behind on the road!"

Green Bud supported the young lady and answered as they walked:

"I hope so. It's dark and no one can see each other. No one knows when it falls!"

The speaker has intention, and the listener also has intention. The voice is so loud that people nearby can naturally hear it clearly!

Soon, the news that the Marquis of Changning’s residence caught fire in the middle of the night while he was at Chongming Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha and rushed back to the city overnight but his grandmother disappeared on the way spread throughout the streets and alleys!

Seeing this scene, Second Young Madam Liu Meixin felt heavy-hearted. She wanted to ask someone to call her elder sister-in-law and the others, but Mother Wu said Caixia was smart!

But when they reached halfway up the mountain and got on the carriage, they still didn't see their sister-in-law and her group. She just mentioned it, and Mother Wu said that they were behind and would be here soon!

Then the carriage started moving. The two maids sitting with her saw that she was worried and could only whisper:

"Young Madam, haven't you figured it out yet? Madam doesn't like the eldest young madam, I'm afraid she threw her here on purpose!"

Liu Meixin's father was only the second son and a minor official of the seventh rank. She was the only girl in the Liu family who was seeking a marriage partner, so her aunt reluctantly promised this niece to her second son!

Because my family background is ordinary and the population is not so complicated, I have never seen so many twists and turns!

"But...but if something happens to my sister-in-law...how can the Xie family afford it?"

Now that she's back home, Liu Meixin still feels anxious!

Seeing her young lady's worried face, Ruxin hurriedly said to comfort her:

"Miss, can't you see? It's obvious that Madam was the one who set up this incident today!"

Liu Meixin is not stupid, she looked up in shock:

"Don't talk nonsense, how could your aunt...~"

Ruxin gritted her teeth and thought, if she didn't tell the truth, the young lady might not survive in this mansion for more than a few days!

"I heard that the master wanted to marry the eldest young lady for the generous dowry, and on the wedding day, he didn't even enter the bridal chamber..."

Liu Meixin felt cold all over: her elder sister-in-law, a noble lady with outstanding temperament and beauty, was plotted against like this, and she was just the daughter of a minor official...

If one day they get tired of me, will they treat me the same way?

She grabbed Ruxin's hand, her hands dripping with sweat:

"...Ruxin...sister-in-law...we have to save sister-in-law..."

Ruyi came over in a hurry and whispered:

"Young Madam, please shut up quickly. Be careful that there are ears on the other side of the wall. We can't leave the house now, and we can't tell who is a demon or a ghost in this house!"

Ruxin also said, "Young Madam, please relax. I think the eldest young madam is a scheming woman."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have handed over the stewardship right away and went to the manor to get hurt after a fall. He must have noticed something unusual!"

After hearing what the two said, Liu Meixin felt a little relieved!

Xie Yinyun excused herself to her mother, sent Cao'er back to her room to clean up her own room, and then went directly to Aunt Mei's room, her face pale:

"Aunt, they...they harmed my sister-in-law..."

Aunt Mei hurriedly covered her daughter's mouth:

"My lady, I'm afraid you don't want to live anymore..."

He motioned Cuihong to go outside and look around. When she came back and shook her head, he said softly:

"What happened?"
