That night, Lu Jiuyuan did not go back to the mansion, but only asked Wu Ze to go back to the mansion to explain the whole story to Tao Yao.

Although he was only assisting the prince, it was the first time the prince led troops to suppress the rebellion, so there was no room for loss.

Not only did he have to personally count the soldiers and horses in the army, but he also had to guide the prince to familiarize himself with military affairs, and to formulate a plan to wipe out.

After Tao Yao found out, she told Wu Ze, "Protect the Duke and don't let him get hurt."

"Ma'am, don't worry, the master has experienced many battles, even if he is rebellious, he can't be hurt. Of course, the subordinates will do their best to protect the master." Wu Ze said immediately.

Tao Yao nodded, "You should also pay attention to safety."

"Thank you ma'am." Wu Ze cupped his hands.

The next day.

Mrs. Lu came to Tao Yao's yard. When she was talking with her, she saw that Lu Jiuyuan was not there, so she asked, "What is Lao Jiu up to now? I haven't seen him for many days."

Tao Yao knew that Lu Jiuyuan should have followed the prince to the small town to suppress the rebellion at this time.

And this matter was done secretly, so she didn't tell the old lady, but said: "My husband should be busy in the army, I don't know the specifics."

The old lady nodded and didn't ask any more questions, but when she saw Wu Yiren coming out of the house, she was stunned for a moment, and asked in surprise: "This girl is..."

"Mother, her name is Yiren, she is my good friend. She has been in trouble recently, so I let her stay with me for a while." Tao Yao explained.

Upon hearing this, the old lady looked Wu Yiren up and down, "Why does this girl look familiar to me?"

Before Tao Yao could say anything, Wu Yiren had already stepped forward to greet the old man.

She couldn't speak, and only performed a senior salute.

The old lady noticed her abnormality and couldn't help asking Tao Yao, "What's the trouble with her?"

Tao Yao paused, seeing that she had seen Wu Yiren, she did not hide anymore, "She is Ping Xihou's wife, her voice has been poisoned and hoarse, and she can no longer speak."

The old lady was taken aback, "Did you become dumb?"

"Yeah." Tao Yao nodded.

Wu Yiren stood awkwardly.

The old lady came back to her senses, and immediately looked at her distressedly, "Sit down, don't stand."

"Yi Ren, don't be afraid, our old lady is very kind, please sit down." Tao Yao took Wu Yiren's hand.

Only then did Wu Yiren sit down beside the two of them.

The old lady looked at her with pity. She was so young and so beautiful, but she lost her voice unexpectedly. What should I do in the future?
"Who is so vicious to do such an outrageous thing?" the old lady said angrily.

Tao Yao shook her head, "I don't know yet, but I have already sent someone to investigate."

The old lady had seen the world before. Hearing what she said, she knew that Wu Yiren could neither speak nor write, so she immediately felt sorry for her, "What a poor child."

Tao Yao shook Wu Yiren's hand, silently reassuring.

Wu Yiren has adjusted his mood in the past few days, and has already seen what happened to him, so he can face it calmly when it is brought up by others.

The old lady was afraid that she would be uncomfortable, so she stopped talking about her, but asked about Tao Yao's body.

At noon, the old lady stayed and went back after eating.

Since Tao Yao became pregnant, she got used to taking a lunch break at noon, after seeing off the old lady, she talked with Wu Yiren for a while, and then went to rest.

After a few days of uneventful days, the servant who was sent to the Pei family to inquire about the situation returned.

"How is it? Did you hear anything?" Xi'er asked Tao Yao as he led his servants to Tao Yao's feet.

The servant smiled and nodded, "I have heard about it, but the people in the Pei family are very strict, and the servant waited and watched near the Pei family for several days in order to get news from them.

I finally found out from the woman who bought it.

That old woman is the confidant of Mrs. Pei's side, but she is greedy for money and likes to drink. After the slaves stuffed money a few times and invited her to drink a few times, she confided everything. "

Tao Yao heard the words and said with a smile: "You have worked hard this time, and I will go with Xi'er to collect the reward later."

"Thank you, madam." The servant was overjoyed.

"Okay, tell me what you found out." Dong'er urged.

The servant glanced at Wu Yiren who was sitting beside him, and then began to talk about the Pei family.

It turned out that half a year ago, Wu Yiren could not bear the cynicism and deliberately making things difficult for her mother-in-law, so she wanted to make peace with Ping Xihou.

But Ping Xihou refused.

Even in order to avoid the entanglement of the Wuyi people, Ping Xihou invited himself to go to the northwest.

Ping Xihou was not in the capital, Wu Yiren had no choice but to reconcile even if he wanted to, so he stopped, thinking about reconciling with Ping Xihou when he came back.

But Mrs. Pei didn't think so. She resented Wu Yiren for not being able to bear children, but for occupying Ping Xihou, and making Ping Xihou so devoted to her that she was unwilling to accept even a concubine.

So after Pingxihou went to the northwest, Mrs. Pei had the idea of ​​getting rid of Wu Yiren.

She made Wu Yiren drink wine that poisoned her throat, with the intention of making her unable to speak, and then expelling her from Pei's residence.

But I didn't expect that the poison was added too much. After Wu Yiren drank it, he was in pain and rolled all over the floor, and finally he had only one breath left.

Mrs. Pei was afraid that she would die in the Pei Mansion and be discovered by Marquis Pingxi in the future, so they ordered her to be taken out of the Pei Mansion and thrown to a mass grave while she was still alive.

When Ping Xihou came back in the future, if he asked about Wu Yiren, he would say that she couldn't bear the loneliness and ran away with a wild man...

"It's really vicious!" Xi'er and Dong'er couldn't help cursing when they heard this.

Tao Yao looked at Wu Yiren, and seeing that she didn't interrupt the servant, she knew that what the servant said was true.

She held Wu Yiren's hand tightly, Mrs. Pei was really vicious.

But what puzzled her was that, according to what the servants said, Mrs. Pei originally planned to throw Wu Yiren to the mass grave, but later Wu Yiren appeared in the back alley of Yipin Building.

Among them, what happened?
She asked out the doubt in her heart.

The servant shook his head, "I don't know this servant girl, that's what the woman said, and during the conversation, the woman was sure that the Yiren girl was dead."

When Tao Yao heard this, she vaguely guessed something.

She looked at Wu Yiren and said, "Did the servant of the Pei family who was in charge of throwing you to the mass grave receive your kindness? Or did that servant not want to take responsibility for fear that Marquis Pingxi would find out about this in the future and take him for granted?" Asked about the crime, so I changed my mind halfway and threw you into the back alley of Yipin Building?"

Wu Yiren shook his head blankly, obviously not aware of this matter.

When Tao Yao saw this, she guessed that she must have passed out after being poisoned, so she didn't know anything about it.

"It's okay, you must insist on drinking the medicine prescribed by Mrs. Guo every day. Maybe after half a month, your voice will really recover. At that time, you can report to the official that Mrs. Pei has harmed you. her."
