After the divorce, my ex-uncle fell in love with me crazily

Chapter 158 Others Think She Is Lu Jiuyuan's Concubine
The prefect of Linzhou shuddered at first, but then quietly let out a sigh of relief.

When Lu Guogong said that, he didn't want to pursue his dereliction of duty.

"Duke Guo is right. The lower officials must remember this lesson and work hard to do their jobs well. They are worthy of the common people and their title as a lower official." He said solemnly.

"En." Lu Jiuyuan nodded.

Seeing this, the prefect of Linzhou wanted to resign, but thought of something, and said: "By the way, Princess Zhaole, I will leave for Beijing tomorrow."

Lu Jiuyuan frowned, "The eldest princess hasn't left yet?"

Tao Yao was also a little surprised, it was so quiet during this time, she thought the eldest princess had left long ago, but she didn't?

She always felt that things were weird, but she couldn't tell.

With Princess Zhaole's temper, if she hadn't left, how could she hold back and not trouble her or come to Lu Jiuyuan?
Abnormal, really abnormal!
The prefect of Linzhou shook his head, "No, the eldest princess said that the Qixi Festival in Linzhou is very lively, after thinking about it, let's go."

Lu Jiuyuan nodded and said nothing more.

Seeing this, the prefect of Linzhou tactfully withdrew.

After he left, Tao Yao asked curiously: "Why did he call me a girl, he didn't know that I was your wife?"

"On the day you disappeared, I dispatched the government to help find you. To protect your reputation, I didn't say that you were my wife. They thought you were a woman I raised outside." Lu Jiuyuan explained, His expression was a little uncomfortable.

"So they all think I'm your concubine?" Tao Yao's eyes widened, astonished and dissatisfied.

"En." Lu Jiuyuan paused, held her waist, and hugged her into his arms, "Don't worry, it's just a title."

"Then from now on, will you raise the outer room behind my back?" Tao Yao said angrily.

Although she was upset about being misunderstood as his concubine, Lu Jiuyuan did this for her own good.

Besides, this way, Lu Jiuyuan's reputation will also suffer.

But he would rather be misunderstood than her being talked about and criticized.

After all, in this era, it is very unfriendly to women.

If people knew that she was taken captive by thieves, they would definitely think that she was innocent and point fingers behind her back.

Thinking of this, her dissatisfaction subsided, and at the same time, she felt lucky.

She was taken captive by the thieves for one night, if it was another man, he would have already disliked her.

But Lu Jiuyuan didn't.

He also let her make all kinds of temper.

"Where did you go? Of course not." Lu Jiuyuan didn't understand what was going on in her head, and looked helpless.

Tao Yao restrained her thoughts, and deliberately said coquettishly: "Then you have to keep your word, otherwise, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, what do you want?" Lu Jiuyuan asked with interest, curling the corners of his lips.

Tao Yao paused, then glanced down at him, "I, I will eunuch you!"

Lu Jiuyuan: "..."

His handsome face darkened, and he raised his hand to pinch her soft face, "I don't feel ashamed!"

Tao Yao blushed a little, but she said plausibly: "If you are afraid, don't take concubines and keep outsiders."

Lu Jiuyuan laughed, "So jealous."

"If I'm not jealous, you will suffer." Tao Yao didn't care.

Lu Jiuyuan paused, the corners of his lips curled slightly, "That's right."

Seeing that he agreed, Tao Yao smiled, and stretched out her hand to pick up the tonic sent by the prefect of Linzhou on the table.

It can be seen that they are all high-quality ginseng and bird's nest.

Thinking of what Lu Jiuyuan said to the prefect of Linzhou earlier, she put down the things in her hands, frowned and said, "Master Zhifu said that the break of the Magpie Bridge was man-made. Could it be related to those Khitan people?"

Lu Jiuyuan paused, and looked at her in surprise, "Why do you say that?"

"Because we were together all the time that day, they wanted to catch me, so they definitely couldn't find a chance, but when the magpie bridge broke, you were busy evacuating the people, and I, who was alone, gave them a chance.

So the magpie bridge is broken, they have a lot of suspicion. "

"You're right, but there were so many people on the Magpie Bridge at that time, they didn't have a chance to do anything, and besides, the bridge was broken from it.

The bridge is not small, and it is not easy to cut under the bridge. Without sufficient preparation, it is impossible to do it.

So it should have been tampered with the day before the incident.

What's more, how would they know that we will go to Magpie Bridge and make preparations in advance? "

Tao Yao was stopped by the question.

But instead, she said: "The padlock on the Magpie Bridge is the highlight of the Linzhou Qixi Festival, as long as we are in Linzhou, we will definitely go there.

Also, and... maybe when I went to buy a lock, I was targeted by them. From this, they knew that we would definitely go to Magpie Bridge on Qixi Festival. "

"Well, what you said is not unreasonable. But if you were targeted by them when you went to buy a lock, wouldn't it be easier for them to catch you that day? Why wait until Qixi Festival to do it?" Lu Jiuyuan Ask unhurriedly.

Tao Yao frowned, "That's true. Then, they really didn't do the breaking of the Magpie Bridge?"

"No." Lu Jiuyuan said firmly, "Wu Ze interrogated those two criminals, and they denied it."

"Then if it wasn't them, who would it be? What's the purpose?" Tao Yao was puzzled.

Lu Jiuyuan also shook his head, "I have handed over this matter to Wu Ze to investigate, and maybe it will be investigated soon."

Tao Yao said angrily: "The people behind the scenes are really ruthless. There were so many people on the bridge at that time. If they hadn't been evacuated in time, then..."

She couldn't imagine it.

"Fortunately, there were no casualties in the end." She said with lingering fear.

"Yes." Lu Jiuyuan nodded.

"Could it be that there are some important people on the bridge, so the people behind the scenes don't hesitate to sacrifice so many people, but also put them to death?" Tao Yao said, looking at him suddenly.

Lu Jiuyuan paused, "What's wrong?"

"Could it be that the purpose of the people behind the scenes is actually you, and they want to kill you?" Tao Yao said here, thinking of the assassination in the capital last time, and suddenly felt shuddering.

Lu Jiuyuan is in a high position and holds military power, so there must be many political enemies. It is really possible that this incident is aimed at Lu Jiuyuan.

"Your guess is not impossible." Lu Jiuyuan nodded in agreement.

"They are really insane, they are so ruthless, they don't care about the lives of so many people, they are really inhuman!" Tao Yao angrily scolded.

Lu Jiuyuan sighed. If it was because of him, he would really be ashamed of the people of Linzhou, but fortunately, there were no casualties.

He shook Tao Yao's little cold hand, "This time I've surprised you."

Tao Yao shook her head, "I'm fine, I just feel a little uncomfortable when I think of so many people on the bridge at that time."

"Well, fortunately, the people behind the scenes wanted to cause an accident, so when they manipulated the bridge, the cuts were not deep, causing the bridge deck to collapse too late, and giving everyone time to escape." Lu Jiuyuan said.

Speaking of this, Tao Yao said sarcastically: "Fortunately, they are stupid! Maybe they are huddled in a corner and crying right now."

"Yeah." Lu Jiuyuan laughed.

While talking, Nie Mulan and Tao Qian came.

When they saw Tao Yao sitting on Lu Jiuyuan's lap, both of them were a little embarrassed and coughed lightly.
