Zhou Shizhi saw it from the side, knew it well, but put on a thick skin, salivated and smiled and said: "Daughter-in-law, what I just said is the truth from the heart, can you say it well?"
The blush on Lu Xiaoshu's face did not fade, and he said vaguely: "Who knows what you said?"
"How about I say it again?" Zhou Shizhi smiled.
"No, no! By the way, I understand that my master is coming to the capital. Why is my wife also here? Or, I will pick her up and live in the Lu residence temporarily? It's better than going outside."
Lu Xiaoshu's heartbeat involuntarily slowed down by two beats. Hearing those words once is enough, how could he resist listening to them a second time? He hurriedly changed the subject and asked.
Master is a military adviser, so it's more convenient to follow along. But Shi Niang is a delicate woman, if there is a rebellion at that time, anything can happen in the capital, and there will be danger everywhere.
"No need," Zhou Shizhi sighed softly, and said, "Master, she doesn't want to stay in Qilin Villa, and she wants to stay by Mr.'s side no matter what. He couldn't persuade her, so he had to bring her here! It is hidden, there is an underground secret room, and I will send more people to pay attention when the time comes."
Lu Xiaoshu was relieved when he heard this, talked nonsense with him, went out to see his master and wife, and returned to Lu's residence after suffering for a long time.
When Lu Xiaoshu returned to Lu Mansion, it was already dusk.
When Du Juan saw her, he smiled and said, "Second Miss, you are back! The master just sent someone to say that if Second Miss is back, hurry over there!"
"Father looking for me?" Lu Xiaoshu was a little surprised, asking what's the matter
Du Juan replied that she didn't know, so she hurriedly changed her clothes and washed her face, and went to the main room.
Seeing his daughter stepping in, Lu Wenxuan finally let go of his heart, and the smile on his face was extraordinarily bright.
You know, when he saw his daughter being so affectionate with that Zhou Shizhi on the street, he, the father, was shocked at the time.
It's strange to say that his first reaction was not to blow his beard and stare angrily, go up and scold the Zhou family boy, but to hide to the side! Maybe it's because of her daughter's open and natural expression? Or maybe, subconsciously, he believes that his daughter's temper is not a disadvantage...
But if you don't go and take him back, you can't go back. After all, you are a father. After returning to the house, you have been thinking about it in your heart. It is almost dark, and your daughter has not come back yet. No matter how calm my father was, he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Father, what do you... want me to do?" Lu Xiaoshu saw his father smiling so warmly at him, he couldn't help being surprised, his goosebumps almost disappeared.
"It's nothing." Lu Wenxuan still smiled brightly that he didn't know, and said, "I just want to talk to you."
"Oh..." Lu Xiaoshu smiled and said to himself: Who would believe it!
Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival was getting closer day by day, Zhou Shizhi did not appear again.
Everything in the capital is still bustling, the streets are full of festive celebrations, everything seems to be so logical and natural, it seems that this Mid-Autumn Festival will not be any different from the previous Mid-Autumn Festival, but Lu Xiaoshu's heart is getting tighter day by day .
This was the first big festival for Lu Wenxuan's family after they returned to Beijing, and the second wife, who was always making trouble, had been completely suppressed. This was the real self-management, so naturally he wanted to spend this festival comfortably.
In the past few days, Mu Qing has been busy preparing for this matter. Lu Jing'an had already made a fuss that he wanted to go out to watch the lanterns and the moon that night.
Lu Xiaoshu thought about it secretly, then smiled at Mu Qing and said: "Mother, this is the first reunion festival for our family after returning home, I think it's more auspicious to celebrate at home, why go out! Not only are we not going, but all the servants in the mansion should not be let out, this is a family reunion! There are so many people going out, I don’t know whether to watch people or to watch the lights, it’s better to enjoy it quietly in the garden of the mansion. month is better!"
Mu Qing was not a lively person, so she couldn't help hesitating when she heard Lu Xiaoshu say this, and said with a smile: "What you said is also reasonable, the reunion festival should naturally be celebrated in the mansion! It's just that servants rarely have a good time throughout the year Now that it’s such a lively time, if they want to go out, let’s go, and if our family doesn’t go, let’s just go!”
Lu Jingan quit when he heard it, and rushed up to pull Mu Qing's arm and shook it vigorously, saying: "Mother, mother! It's agreed to go out to see the lights, I want to go out, I want to see the lights! They all said The lights are beautiful and beautiful!"
Lu Xiaoshu hurriedly pulled him aside, winked, leaned over and said to him quietly: "You are stupid, why don't we watch it in the mansion when we don't go out? Tell father and mother to buy a copy of every lamp." How nice it is to hang the lamps in the house! After the festival, those lamps are all yours! Go out and see, you can only look at it, how can it be more cost-effective... "
When Lu Jing'an heard that all the lanterns belonged to him after the festival, he couldn't help but feel moved, and looked at Lu Xiaoshu hesitantly: "Really, will they all belong to me when the time comes..."
"Of course, I won't rob you!" Lu Xiaoshu nodded with a smile.
Lu Jing'an stopped talking, and smiled after a while: "Then it's better to stay at home!"
"That's right!" Lu Xiaoshu laughed.
Lu Jing'an is very capable of clamoring for things, as long as he is clamoring for things, Mu Qing will not refuse.
Lu Xiaoshu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, this problem has been solved!
On the side of Marquis Wugong's mansion, Miao Chuhe has noticed something abnormal since July. Wu Gonghou also sent him to help with some things. However, from the things he handled, it was impossible to find out any inside information.
After all, although he is the adopted son of Marquis Wugong, and Marquis Wugong really appreciates him and likes him, but Marquis Wugong has always been suspicious and has a calm mind. Not absolutely trustworthy.
At least, he is not a core confidant around Wu Gonghou.
Originally, Miao Chuhe was thinking of Marquis Marquis who saved his life, and was thinking of how to persuade him to turn back. According to the situation, he knew that he had no chance to persuade him.
As soon as the words of persuasion came out, he believed that it was the time when he was murdered to silence him.
Miao Chuhe secretly sighed in his heart: father-in-law, father-in-law, what are you doing wrong, why do you want to rebel? Since ancient times, how many people who rebelled in the capacity of ministers will end well
In August, the atmosphere in Marquis Wugong's mansion seemed to become more tense. There were often strangers coming in and out at night, and Marquis Wu Gong's confidantes became more busy, sneaking around, and they didn't know what they were doing.
After Miao Chuhe met Zhou Shizhi, he secretly paid attention to it.
After a few days of observation, he was almost certain that the time when Marquis Wu Gong started the incident was on August 15th. It's just that he doesn't know what his specific plan is and what method he will take to do it.
According to Mr. Bai's speculation, the Marquis of Martial Arts will probably send someone to control the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion as the first step, then invade the palace, control the emperor's family, and then control the outer city gates, and then control the entire capital. , forcing the emperor to issue an order to control the two armies stationed in the suburbs of Beijing with a total of 30,000 people...
As long as he can successfully break into Da Nei and hold the emperor and prince in his hands, then the rest of the matter will be much easier to handle!
Therefore, what Zhou Shizhi and others urgently need to know is their plan to invade the palace.
For things like controlling the emperor and seizing the jade seal, the Marquis of Wu Gong would definitely do it himself, and the ones he would use would definitely be his most capable confidantes. It is not difficult to figure out this plan.
Only after knowing this plan, Zhou Shizhi and others can make countermeasures.
Although if you can't figure out Marquis Wu Gong's plan, you still have to do it, but the price you pay will be heavier, even cruel. Things have not reached that point, and no one wants to see such a situation happen.
As for the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion, Zhou Shizhi has no intention of taking care of it. As long as Marquis Wu Gong is caught by then, the Nine Gates Admiral's Mansion will come back sooner or later.
Besides, if there is no crime at all in the capital, wouldn't it not reflect the seriousness of the matter, and their contribution will not be highlighted. Moreover, he still wants to follow this trend and take the opportunity to do something! Back then, many people who harmed their backer in the Palace of the Mountain were promoted and made a fortune, and now they are living a happy life in the capital...
Blood debts will eventually be repaid with blood!
Miao Chuhe was secretly anxious, the opportunity finally came!
On this day, a secret letter was handed over the door to enter, saying it was for Lord Hou. It just so happened that when Miao Chuhe saw it, he took it with a heartbeat, and walked towards the study naturally.
He knew what Marquis Wu Gong, Shizi Ye, and his confidantes were discussing in the study today.
Miao Chuhe used the secret letter in his hand as a pass, and with an expression that he rushed to this letter without any delay, he successfully passed the guards outside the courtyard of Marquis Wugong's study and entered.
Marquis Wu Gong has a habit, that is, he doesn't like to discuss matters in his study, but in the room next to him.
Seeing that there was no one around, Miao Chuhe quietly sneaked into his study.
Marquis Wu Gong's study room is very large, with three rooms and two entrances without partitions. There are countless shelves, filled with books, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc. It is not an easy task to find what you need in it.
Miao Chuhe forced himself to be calm, and walked straight to the huge huanghuali desk. Marquis Wu Gong has been thinking about this matter for a while, and he guessed that most of the related things are placed on the desk or nearby.
He rummaged through the desk, in the drawers, and on the bookshelf behind him, and finally saw what he wanted. He was suddenly ecstatic, and he quickly opened it while picking up the important ones and memorizing them in his heart.
Hearing the sudden voice of speaking, Miao Chuhe was startled, hurriedly put the things away as they were, and hurried out of the study.
As soon as he stepped out of the study to sort out his mood, he saw Marquis Marquis, his son, and three or four cronies of Marquis Marquis coming out of the meeting hall next to him. Miao Chuhe hurriedly stepped forward with an apologetic smile: "Father—"
