After dressing as a widow

The servant girl walked in front, and the red lady followed, and soon arrived at the place where the concubine's room lived.

The concubine is favored by the county magistrate. On weekdays in the mansion, even the wife of the wife is not given much attention, and she only maintains a respectful face.

Therefore, the place where she lives is also extremely luxurious. The red woman glanced at the room where the door was opened, and when she heard that the maid asked herself to wait here, she nodded gratefully: "Yes, the girl will go to work first. There is no rush."

The maid turned and walked into the room. The beautiful concubine who was getting her nails dyed saw her come in, and frowned fiercely: "Didn't I tell you to find out where that bitch came from? Why, your master, I haven't fallen out of favor yet, Just follow the yin and the yang, and take my words as a deaf ear?"

The servant girl hurriedly said: "My aunt has wrongly blamed the servant girl, there is a clue to what you ordered."

"Oh?" Mei Qie straightened up.

The servant girl said: "My servant bumped into a man outside the county government office. Coincidentally, that man was Lin Fulang's close servant. Because he fell ill on the way to Dongyang County, he was later than Lin Fulang and the others. It took two days to arrive."

"Is that bitch really the uncle of Lord Zhizhou?"

"This..." Only then did the servant girl realize that she had forgotten to ask such an important question, and she faltered and couldn't explain why.

Concubine Mei gouged her out, her impatient face made her startled, and said quickly, "The person I found came with the servant because he didn't know the way, and wanted to take her to find Mrs. Lin after the servant finished her work. , is waiting outside the courtyard, this servant will bring her to Auntie, and let Auntie ask herself to understand."

"Then hurry up and bring people over!"

"Yes." Afraid of her censure, the servant girl walked out of the room quickly, and called the red woman who was honestly waiting outside the yard, "You come in with me, our aunt has something to ask you."

The expression on the red woman's face seemed a little puzzled, she nodded her head: "Girl, why would Auntie ask me to go in, is there nothing wrong?"

The servant girl was still annoyed by herself, and said, "Just answer what my aunt asks."

"Yes, yes, I will definitely be the same as what I said to the girl just now, and I will never hide it."

"Auntie, we're here." The servant girl squatted down and revealed the red woman behind her.

Concubine Mei sized up Mrs. Hong, and asked her relationship with Lin Zhen in disgust. Mrs. Hong, who had already figured out a lot of things, answered according to her words, saying that she was indeed served by Lin Zhen's side. People said that Lin Zhen came to Dongyang County to find someone, and also revealed that Lin Zhen had never married and was still single.

She considered every word carefully, and watched the county magistrate's concubine's room closely with drooping corners of her eyes, and she knew that the concubine was full of hostility towards the target she wanted to abduct. .

That's fine.

The red woman purposely got confused in a few sentences, and talked about him as if she was guilty, but the concubine immediately caught her loophole, squinted her eyes and said: "I see that you are not so loyal to your master." , I was a little afraid of appearing in front of his eyes."

"What you said to the people around me before was that you stayed elsewhere because of illness, and it took a day or two to catch up. It's a lie."

"Slave servant... Slave servant..." The red woman seemed to have been exposed as a lie, her legs softened and she knelt on the ground.

The concubine looked at her condescendingly: "The deed of prostitution is in the hands of that bitch, so I have to chase after him, and when he comes, he hangs around outside the county office. I don't have the guts to meet him. You said that if I send you to him, Tell him that you want to recognize me as your master, will he easily forgive you who betrayed the Lord?"

The red lady knelt at the feet of the concubine, and kowtowed to her, asking her to give her a way out.

The concubine kicked her away, and said: "It's not impossible to continue living your good life, let me ask you, how did you offend that bitch."

The red woman knelt at her feet, and said cautiously: "Your maidservant...bewitched by a ghost...stolen a sum of money from the master to gamble, and thought of filling the hole after winning the money. The goddamn human trafficker, seeing that I had money, dragged me to a dark place and robbed me of all the money, and threatened to sell me to the most filthy brothel if I reported this to the police. "

"I was afraid that my master would find out that I had stolen the money, and he would stay there because he was sick, thinking that he could delay for a few days to see if he could get the money back. Who would have thought that the traffickers would call the yamen guards brothers and sisters, and I even entered the county. No chance at all.”

"So I can only follow up. I want to bet that the master hasn't found out that the silver is gone. I will continue to stay by his side and wait for him. I will find a chance to buy fake silver plated silver and put it in. I can hide it day by day."

Mei Qie sneered, listening to what she said, and when she mentioned that a group of traffickers had robbed her of money and threatened to sell her into a brothel, Mei Qie suddenly had an idea in her mind.

In recent years, Dongyang County has also lost many women and brothers. The county magistrate also sent people below to check several times, but they all returned without success.

She had heard from the county magistrate that this group of traffickers were habitual offenders, and they seldom left any clues, and none of the abducted women and brothers were found.

If that bitch is kidnapped by human traffickers...

It doesn't matter whether he is a real human trafficker or not, just let others think he was abducted by human traffickers.

After talking about her faults, the red woman looked at the concubine in fear and expectation, first she praised her concubine, and then said that she dared not return to Lin Zhen's side now, so she might as well be a concubine for the concubine , Let the concubine take her in.

With a beautiful concubine as her backer, even if she meets Lin Zhen, the former master, in the future, she will not panic.

For her, the servant who came to the door, Meiqie agreed after a while, and asked someone to take her down, and don't let anyone see her in the next few days.

The concubine's personal maid looked at the red woman who was taken down by her servants, and was a little puzzled: "Auntie, you keep this person..."

Concubine Mei looked at her neatly manicured nails, which were waiting to be dyed: "Keep them for use."

It was night, in a house in Dongyang County.

"As soon as you make a move, it really will be done. When the goods are sold this time, I will give you an extra 200 taels." The tall man looked at the red lady in front of him, very satisfied.

Another man said: "Mrs. Hong, that county government office is run by your family. Why do you tell you to come and leave whenever you want?"

The red lady chuckled, "Money can turn ghosts around, especially for those servants who serve others, give me a little bit, you are his ancestor."

"Bao Ye, the county magistrate's concubine hated the newcomer Lin Fulang. As long as I blow the wind and light the fire, her mind will rise, and then we will fish in troubled waters..." She opened her palm, Clenched tightly one by one, "Hands are easy to grab."

"Hahahaha, good!"

The tall man handed the two porcelain vases to the red lady: "I'll be waiting for your good news, don't worry, I won't treat you badly this time."

The red lady took the porcelain bottle and put it in her arms: "Yes, I understand."

"It's too late to be noticed, I'm going back to the county office first." The red woman, who bribed a servant from the same yard as her to sneak out, got up and went back to the county office swaggeringly.

Since she came in with Mei Concubine's personal servant girl today, the gatekeepers thought she was someone close to Mei Concubine, so they didn't stop her too much.

The sky seems to have leaked a hole, the rain has been falling non-stop, and the mud surface without paving bricks has been washed into a mud puddle, so soft that a finger can poke it in.

On such a day, even if the rain stops, it is impossible to go immediately. The road from Dongyang County to the state capital is all dirt roads. I am afraid that the wheels of the carriage will sink from Dongyang County to the state capital, and they will not be able to reach the state capital in four or five days.

Sad people.

Lin Zhen sat on the chair, looked at the heavy rain outside the window, patted his forehead and leaned on the back of the chair. Today is the No. 15 day since he left the state capital. Before leaving, he told Gu Lin that he was twelve days and thirteen days old. You can go back in about a day, and now it has been more than two days, and you have to wait, I don't know what the little boy will think.

Suddenly, when Lin Zhen was thinking about Gu Lin in the state capital, Zhou Zhengchu, who came to the courtyard to protect him, walked into the house, "Boss, the county magistrate's concubine is here to visit, would you like to meet?"

Lin Zhen raised his head, a little puzzled, the county magistrate's concubine visiting him?

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from outside: "An'an, don't make trouble, my aunt has brought you here, you have to be obedient, don't pout anymore, you know?"

"An An knows, An An listens to my aunt." Along with the child's voice, and the sound of copper bells, Lin Zhen knew who it was, the child who rolled the ball into his room that day and played with him for a while .

He said to Zhou Zhengchu: "Let someone come in, by the way, tell the maid outside to go to the kitchen to get some food that children like to eat."

"Yes," Zhou Zhengchu took the order and went out, telling the woman holding the child that Lin Zhen told them to go in.

The beautiful concubine, who has always been unimpeded in the mansion, smiled, looked at her son, and walked in with the child in her arms.

"Uncle." As soon as the child saw Lin Zhen, he remembered the spinning ball and the way he bounced the ball into the air like a showmanship, his eyes sparkled.

The concubine said: "I'm really sorry, this child has been crying and begging me to turn the ball for him to see, but how can I do this, after thinking about it, I can only disturb the husband, the husband will not blame him Bar."

Lin Zhen put his hand on the child's head, rua rua his soft hair: "Children of this age just like to play, there is nothing wrong with it, it's not good if you control it too tightly."

"It's An An, right?"

"Yes."

Lin Zhen took the ball from the child's hand, and twirled it on his fingers just like that day, the colored threads were flying, and the small bells jingled, which was beautiful and attractive.

The child named An An looked at it and raised her little finger.

Lin Zhen wanted to laugh, and put the ball on his finger, the short fat finger was crushed by the ball all at once, this was the result of him holding the ball.

Looking at the child's crooked fingers and eyes full of doubts, Lin Zhen couldn't help but smile.
