Chaos on the temples: You can't escape if you provoke treacherous ministers

Chapter 579
The gate is dilapidated, and the mansion is even more deserted.

There was no guard at the gate, so she just opened the door and went in. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds as tall as a person. Fortunately, she was familiar with the Jing'an Hou Mansion, otherwise she would get lost in the weeds.

Walking through the hallway to the backyard, and then going around the corridor to the central courtyard of the capital, I didn't see a single servant along the way.

When we reached the middle courtyard and came to the hall, we heard human voices.

"Grandfather, the failure of our family is all due to that bitch Liu Yunxiang!"

It was Xie Wenqing, who happened to be scolding her.

Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes, pushed the door open and walked in, "I want to ask Miss Si to tell me, what did I do to make this family lose?"

Walking into the living room, the outside is sunny, but the inside is gloomy. The furniture is broken and rotten, and it is covered with dust everywhere. Obviously, it has not been cleaned up.

The Marquis of Jing'an was still wearing his armor, and he was sitting on the main seat, his face full of exhaustion.

And Xie Wenqing was standing in the middle of the hall, Xu Shixian was very dusty here, covering his mouth and nose with a veil, not covering the disgust on his face.

Seeing her coming in, Marquis Jing'an stood up and saluted her, "My house is dirty and messy, it's really not suitable for entertaining guests, the princess laughed at me."

Liu Yunxiang waved his hand, "It doesn't matter if the house is dirty or broken. This time, Lord Hou has made great achievements, and the emperor will definitely reward him. As long as the reward comes down, the house will not be dirty or messy."

The Marquis of Jing'an smiled bitterly, "I made a big mistake in the battle of the Northern Expedition. It's good to be able to make up for it. I dare not ask for any reward."

Liu Yunxiang smiled and said nothing more.

Yan Mu has made arrangements for him to go to Nanzhou. Whether there is a reward and what the reward is, Yan Mu has already considered it for him.

Liu Yunxiang turned to look at Xie Wenqing again, "Fourth Miss, I went to Dingyuanhou's Mansion yesterday, and wanted to check with you, but the people in the mansion said that you went out of town, and you came back very quickly."

Xie Wenqing's eyes dodged a little, "I did go to another place, and I just came back early this morning."

"Since we met here by chance, let me ask Miss Si a few questions."

"I've already visited my grandfather. I still have something to do at home, so I left first."

"Fourth girl, why did you run away? Did you do something wrong?"

"You bullshit!"

The Marquis of Jing'an drank Xie Wenqing: "Wenqing, don't be rude to the princess!"

"Grandfather! Are you afraid that she will fail?"

"She is the princess of Zhenbei, there is a difference between high and low!"

"I……",

"If the princess asks you anything, you can answer it honestly!"

Seeing her grandfather speak harshly, Xie Wenqing didn't dare to say anything, she could only stand back angrily.

Liu Yunxiang took a deep breath, and asked: "Half a month ago, you took Xiao Wu to Yingyue Pavilion, is there such a thing?"

Xie Wenqing pursed her lips, then smiled and said, "Yes, I took my own sister to buy jewelry, what's wrong with that?"

"You took her back to Dingyuanhou's Mansion?"

"Yes, I was injured, and she was worried about me and insisted on sending me home."

"And after that?"

"She said she was afraid that her master would be worried, so she sat for a while and then went back."

"gone back?"

"Yes."

Liu Yunxiang looked at Xie Wenqing carefully, and saw that she was looking away, with a look of disdain for her.

"Princess, what's wrong with Xiao Wu?" Marquis Jing An asked.

Liu Yunxiang frowned, sighed and said, "This child is missing."

"Missing?" Xie Wenqing yelled, "You insisted on taking my sister away and said you would take good care of her. Is that how you took care of her?"

Liu Yunxiangmo, speaking carefully, she really didn't take good care of Xiao Wu.

"Princess, what's going on?" Jing Anhou asked.

Liu Yunxiang told Marquis Jing'an about Xiao Wu's disappearance, "I came to you this time because I hope you can use the contacts you have to find Xiao Wu together. The longer she disappears, the more flustered I feel."

Jing Anhou nodded, "Xiao Wu is from our Xie family, so I will try my best."

"It would be great to have Lord Hou's words."

Liu Yunxiang looked at Xie Wenqing again, "Fourth Miss, it's about Xiao Wu's safety, I hope you will think about what happened that day carefully, and it's best not to let me find out anything, if Xiao Wu's disappearance is related to you, I don't know I will spare you!"

After speaking, Liu Yunxiang left first.

"Grandfather, look at how arrogant she is. If she hadn't seduced Yan Mu back then and caused our Hou Mansion to lose face, my grandmother and my parents would not have died, our family would not have fallen, and neither would I." Marry an old man!" Xie Wenqing exclaimed angrily.

"I have already learned about the affairs of the Hou's Mansion through many people. It wasn't that she seduced Yan Mu, but to save your father. You just didn't feel grateful and poured dirty water on her."

"Grandfather, it's clear that she's a lowly..."

"To shut up!"

Xie Wenqing still wanted to say, seeing Jing Anhou's serious face, she didn't dare to say any more.

"How much do you really know about Xiao Wu?" Marquis Jing'an frowned and asked.

"I really don't know anything!"

"I know best what kind of virtue you are, so before Mrs. Liu finds out anything, you'd better confess to me, or I won't be able to save you."

"I really don't..."

"Should I ask Han Wei?"

Xie Wenqing shivered, hesitated for a while, then knelt down on the ground.

"Grandfather, I can't help it either."

Back at the mansion, Liu Yunxiang saw the housekeeper leading a few servants to the back garden.She walked over and saw that Chang Ning was directing the boys to measure around the big pagoda tree near the south wall.

She frowned and walked inside.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing her, the steward hurriedly took two steps forward, "Princess, Changning County wants us to cut down this big pagoda tree, saying that the light in the open space over there is blocked, and that we need to use two trunks of this pagoda tree." Lounge chair."

Liu Yunxiang looked at Changning, she was standing there with her hands behind her back, surrounded by maids and servants in front of her and behind her, those who didn't know thought she was the mistress of this family.

"Master Changning, is this tree blocking you?"

Chang Ning sighed: "The weather is good these few days, I want to take His Highness out to bask in the sun, but the tree is too tall and the canopy is too big, covering the sky and the sun, which greatly affects the light in the back garden. It was chopped up and just made two reclining chairs for His Highness to lie down and rest."

"Two?" Liu Yunxiang snorted, "One for Yan Mu, one for you, and then we can bask in the sun together, enjoy the scenery of the back garden, drink tea and chat, you think it's beautiful. It's just that this is the palace, and I'm the one." Princess, you don't really treat yourself as a guest, do you?"

Chang Ning's face changed, and then he smiled and said: "Prince Wang misunderstood, I am doing it for His Highness's benefit."

"Whether he is good or not, you don't have to worry about it!"

"I have a deep relationship with him, and I can't help but worry."

"It's shameless for you to say this in front of other people's wives."

Changning's face turned blue, and he couldn't bear it any longer.

Liu Yunxiang didn't bother to discuss this with Chang Ning, so he turned his head and said to the housekeeper, "Remember, no one can cut down this tree without my permission!"

"Yes."

Liu Yunxiang turned to leave, but Changning stopped her.

"Princess, please return me two things."

Liu Yunxiang frowned, "When did I owe you?"

"Those two things were given to His Highness by me, and they should be on your body now."

"what?"

Chang Ning glanced at Liu Yunxiang, then looked into the distance, and said coldly, "A purse embroidered with begonias and a red string."

Hearing this, Liu Yunxiang was taken aback, "You were the one who rescued Yan Mu under the cliff at that time?"
