Chapter 68
After half a column of incense.

Shen Furong and Li Yeyu were expelled from Zhenguohou Mansion by Mrs. Hou's Mrs. Zhang.

When she got on the carriage, Shen Furong opened the carriage curtain, and finally glanced at the pair of stone lions squatting at the entrance of the Marquis of Zhen Guo mansion, raised her eyebrows and smiled, turned her head and said to Li Yeyu who was still standing outside:

"It's done, let's go back to Zhuangzi!"

Li Yeyu agreed, jumped into the carriage neatly, and then ordered the driver to set off.

***

There is a bamboo forest seven or eight miles west of Gyeonggi. The setting sun shines in the bamboo forest, and it sprinkles mottled on the ground.

At this time, Xiao Tianmo was standing quietly in this lonely bamboo forest.

After a while, Li Yelan came out from nowhere, leaned into Xiao Tianmo's ear and whispered:
"Master, just now there was news from the mansion that Mrs. Zhang invited Miss Shen into the mansion."

Xiao Tianmo was startled and raised his eyes sharply, "Has Madam embarrassed Miss Shen?"

Fortunately, he was well prepared, and he begged Shen Furong's prostitution contract from his father in advance and held it in his own hands.

Li Yelan shook his head, the expression on his face was indescribable, and in the end it all turned into a touch of admiration on his face.

"The person who sent the message said that Madam Zhang was in her own courtyard and met with Miss Shen in secret, and she did not make any public announcements, and they had no way of knowing what happened. They only knew that after Miss Shen left, Madam Zhang fell ill again. "

Are you scared and sick again?

Hearing that Shen Furong had left safely, Xiao Tianmo raised the corner of his mouth, feeling very good.

This woman's brain circuit has always been strange, and ordinary people can't embarrass her.

How hard is it for Mrs. Zhang to think about it, so she would try to beat her!

Xiao Tianmo nodded to Li Yelan, indicating that he understood. At this time, Gu Yanxing hurried over from the other side of the bamboo forest and said in a low voice, "Young master, everything is ready."

Xiao Tianmo heard the words and looked into the depths of the bamboo forest, "I hope this time I can be foolproof and help Zhou Siqing successfully escape this catastrophe."

Zhou Xuezheng Zhou Siqing was the Dali Siqing, who was in charge of the state of the country and was sentenced to prison.

Zhou Siqing was an upright person, judged cases fairly, spoke bluntly, and was loyal to the court.

This time, he returned to his hometown because of his father's funeral. Now that the period of filial piety has expired, he has returned to Beijing to enter the court.

But in the previous life, Zhou Siqing failed to step into the capital for half a step, but was intercepted and killed in this bamboo forest, and his death was tragic.

The emperor was furious when he found out, and immediately ordered people to come down to investigate.

But the officials who came to investigate the matter concluded that Zhou Siqing was robbed by mountain bandits on the road, and then killed by mountain bandits for money.

The imperial court also dispatched strong troops to wipe out all the bandits in the surrounding area.

But later, a series of events, including the framing of the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion, made him have to suspect that perhaps Zhou Siqing was not killed by mountain bandits.

If Zhou Siqing hadn't died in his previous life, he would definitely not have watched the mansion of the Marquis of Zhenguo, and his family was destroyed because of being wronged and wronged.

He came here today to make arrangements in advance, just to save Zhou Siqing and to forge this good relationship for the Marquis of Zhenguo.

……

At this time, deep in the bamboo forest, a dusty carriage was slowly approaching.

In front of the carriage sat an old man with half-white hair and a young man dressed as a servant.

The young servant held the reins in both hands and drove the carriage steadily.

The curtain swayed with the wind as it traveled, revealing a corner of the car.

I saw a middle-aged man sitting in the middle of the carriage with his eyes closed.

The young boy who was driving the car glanced back, turned his head and whispered to the old man beside him:
"Uncle Wu, why don't you agree with Auntie Sun and Auntie Li to come to the capital with you?"

When his master returned to Beijing this time, the old lady in the house had chosen two safe and meticulous ones from among the concubines.

I plan to send him to follow his master, so that he can take care of his master's diet and daily life.

If any aunt was fortunate enough to be pregnant, his master would be considered a successor.

This was a good thing in the first place, but his master didn't agree to it, the old lady couldn't resist, and finally let his master go out alone.

Thinking about these concubines, they are also suffering. They were originally carried into the door by the old lady, and they have never even seen the face of his master.

It was hard enough for his master to go back, and he wanted to follow his master to take office, but the bamboo basket was empty.

To say that his master is merciless, but his master has already released his words, saying that he does not want these aunties to stay in the mansion as a widow for life, and is willing to give them money and let them go out of the mansion to remarry.

But he just couldn't understand, why didn't his master get married?The old lady took a concubine and still doesn't agree?
So unfamiliar with women, could it be... is there some hidden disease?
Seeing the young servant's expression, Wu Cheng knew that he wanted to be crooked, so he reached out and patted his head.
"What are you thinking about! Changshan, remember, the master has his own rules for doing things. We as servants shouldn't say anything that shouldn't be said, don't ask anything that shouldn't be asked, and don't want to give birth. That's the curiosity!"

Chang Shan nodded, "What Uncle Wu said is, I wrote it down."

Wu Cheng nodded in satisfaction, a smile on his face.

He looked back at the thick carriage curtains, and actually felt a little sigh in his heart.

Where is his master ruthless?
It's so affectionate!

Back then, his master and Mu Wanqing were like a pair of beautiful people, envious of others.

If it wasn't for something like that happened later, the children of the two must have been old!

After that incident, Miss Mu disappeared, her life and death were unknown, and his master also died.

Now more than ten years have passed, and his master has also changed from a young boy in his prime to a court official with strict law enforcement.

Time seems to have washed away the past, but his master does not marry or have children, and seems to be waiting for something.

……

Suddenly, a gust of breeze blew, and suddenly the bamboo forest rustled, and countless bamboos were shadowy, like a dangerous beast hidden in the dark.

Wu Cheng was vigilant, put away his thoughts and looked forward like eagle eyes.

When he saw the shadows running deep in the bamboo forest, he immediately screamed: "No, there is an ambush!"

Chang Shan, who was driving the carriage, was startled, and quickly tightened the reins, trying to turn the horse's head.

But at this moment, I saw more than a dozen men in black with sharp swords flying down from the bamboo forest. Without saying a word, they quickly attacked.

With a swoosh, Chang Shan pulled the sword from his waist and shouted to Wu Cheng, "Protect Master!" Then he rushed forward and fought fiercely with several men in black.

Wu Cheng also drew his sword to protect the carriage beside the carriage, and kept slashing at the men in black who rushed up.

Zhou Xuezheng, who was in the carriage, heard Wu Cheng shouting that there was an ambush, and immediately opened his eyes. At this time, he also got off the carriage and kept retreating under the guard of Wu Cheng.

He frowned slightly, his face became extremely dignified, and he asked the men in black sternly:
"Who are you? Why do you want to kill this official?"

The man in black did not answer, but gradually approached him.
