Do you know: I am Yuan Wenshao

Chapter 174 Princess Pingning’s indifference (please subscribe)
"Have you found the Rong girl?" Hua Lan asked in surprise.

She had been waiting on Yuan Wenshao in the house and had no intention of paying attention to this.

"I heard that he was thrown on the street by thieves and found by people from the patrol camp." Mrs. Wang said.

"This group of thieves took action on the Lantern Festival, and they kidnapped Concubine Rong's sister. Why did they let her go like this?" Hua Lan asked doubtfully.

"This man has been kidnapped by thieves for so long. Who knows what happened to him? Now he is found, and..."

"Mother!"

Seeing that Minglan's expression was bad, Hua Lan quickly interrupted Mrs. Wang and said, "Aren't you going back? I'll have people prepare carriages and horses right now. Grandma and father must be worried."

"Yes, mother, let's go back first." Haishi also advised.

"Yes, yes, I'm old, and I can't stop talking when I talk. Hua'er, let's go back first, and then we'll visit Erlang after we've settled down at home." Mrs. Wang said.

Hualan had people prepare carriages and horses, and personally escorted Mrs. Wang and the others out of the house.

……

Shengjia, Shouantang
"Old lady, you'd better sleep for a while. If these six girls come back, they will feel bad when they see you like this." Fang's mother advised.

The old lady waved her hand and said, "Although Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion sent someone to tell you that Madam and the others are over there, I still don't worry about Miss Ming not looking."

Such a big thing happened last night, so the old lady naturally heard about it.

When she learned that Concubine Rong's sister had been kidnapped in the street, the old lady was shocked and realized that it was not that simple.

If someone kidnaps someone for money, no matter how stupid the thief is, he still knows how to do it secretly.

On the Lantern Festival, people were kidnapped in the street, and the one they kidnapped was the sister of the official's favorite concubine, which was really shocking.

No matter how stupid the thief is, he will never be this stupid.

If the thief didn't know Rong Feiyan's identity, he wouldn't have taken action in the inner city.

The inner city was filled with dignitaries and no ordinary people at all. Where could they hide the kidnapped people?

Therefore, the identity of the kidnapper must not be simple. In other words, the other party did it deliberately.

After thinking about it for a moment, the old lady felt that Prince Yong's Mansion was the most suspicious.

There is no enmity between Prince Yong's Palace and the Rong family, so why did they attack the girl from the Rong family?

After much deliberation, if it was really the Yong Palace that took action, the only possibility would be Qi Heng.

She had heard before that Prince Yong and his wife loved the Lord Jiacheng County very much.

If her guess is true, it means that Minglan is also in danger.

"Old lady, didn't my uncle send someone to tell me that Miss Six is ​​taking shelter in Uncle Zhongyong's house? She should come back at dawn." Fang's mother said.

"Did the person who came to inquire say that Minglan was there? They only said that the eldest lady and others were there, but they didn't mention Minglan. I don't know why my eyelids keep twitching, I always feel like something big has happened." The old lady said.

Last night, when Yuan Wenshao sent someone to report the news to the Sheng family, and asked Chang Feng and others if they were back, he had already received the news that Minglan had been kidnapped.

He knew that the old lady was old and could not bear the stimulation, so he told her to just ask Chang Feng, Ru Lan and Mo Lan if she was back, and then told the Sheng family that Mrs. Wang and others were at his place.

There was no mention of Minglan being kidnapped.

However, the old lady's eyelids were twitching, her mind was restless, and she couldn't sleep at all. She would not feel relieved until she saw Minglan.

"The old lady, the eldest lady and the second young master are back."

Fang's mother wanted to persuade her again, but a maid hurriedly walked in to report.

The old lady stood up suddenly and said excitedly: "Where's Miss Ming?"

"Miss Six is ​​back too and is heading towards Shou'an Hall," the maid said.

"Good good."

The old lady nodded excitedly and sat down.

"Mother, mother, wife and children are all back safely."

Not long after, Sheng Hong's excited voice came from outside. After a while, Sheng Hong and his wife were in front, followed by Changbai Haishi and Minglan.

"Just come back, just come back..."

The old lady nodded with a smile on her face, and suddenly saw Minglan who looked haggard, with red and swollen eyes, and her eyes were dull, and her heart skipped a beat.

"Girl Ming, what's wrong with you?"

Sheng Hong heard last night that Madam Wang and the others were temporarily staying at Uncle Zhongyong's residence because of the chaos on the street, but he didn't think much about it.

After Mrs. Wang and the others came back, he took Mrs. Wang to report to the old lady that they were safe, without having time to ask.

Now when he heard what the old lady said, he looked at Minglan and saw that she looked very bad. He comforted her and said, "Don't worry, mother. Girl Ming must have been frightened because of the chaos last night."

"Don't speak, let her speak." the old lady shouted.

"grandmother!"

Minglan felt sad. After hearing the old lady's words, she couldn't hold back her tears. She ran forward and hugged the old lady and cried bitterly.

Listening to Minglan's cries, the old lady felt as if the sky was about to collapse, and her vision went dark and she fainted.

"Mother!"

"grandmother!"

Sheng Hong and the others quickly gathered around, and the hall instantly became a mess.

"Come here, go get the doctor quickly. Don't stand around here, just lift your mother to the bed." Sheng Hongqiang said calmly.

"Mother is awake."

Mrs. Wang pinched the old lady's middle finger, and when she saw the old lady opened her eyes, she said excitedly.

"Mom, I hope you're okay, you scared your son to death!" Sheng Hong said with lingering fear: "Hurry and help mother to the bed."

"Don't touch me." The old lady looked at Minglan and said in a hoarse voice: "Girl Ming, tell me, what happened last night?"

"Grandma, my granddaughter is fine, she's just scared. Your health is in critical condition, so you'd better go to bed and rest while the doctor takes a look at you," Minglan said.

"Don't hide it from me, tell me, have you been kidnapped too?" the old lady shouted.

Minglan's eyes were a little dodgeful, she shook her head and said, "No, I've been at my eldest brother-in-law's house."

She had raised Minglan by her side for so many years. She knew Minglan very well and could tell at a glance that she was lying.

When she thought that Minglan had also been taken away, the old lady turned pale and fainted again.

……

Yuan Wenshao opened his eyes and saw the blue gauze curtain.

After being stunned for a while, he regained consciousness and turned around to see Hua Lan sleeping beside the bed.

Yuan Wenshao didn't want to wake Hua Lan, so he propped himself up on the bed and tried to sit up.

There is still a dull pain in my chest, but it is not like the pain that made it difficult to breathe when I exerted force when I was injured.

Yuan Wenshao sat up and lifted the quilt to get out of bed when Hua Lan opened his eyes.

"My lord, what are you doing? You are injured, why did you get up by yourself? Lie down quickly." Hualan blamed while trying to help Yuan Wenshao lie down.

"I'm a little anxious." Yuan Wenshao said awkwardly.

"Then you call me. Your injuries are not healed yet. What if the injuries are aggravated?" Hua Lan said with red eyes.

"Okay, please stop crying. I can't bear to wake you up because I see you sleeping soundly. Don't talk about me now, I can't hold it in anymore and I'm about to wet the bed." Yuan Wenshao said quickly.

"Pfft."

Hualan looked at Yuan Wenshao's embarrassed look and was amused.

"You're still laughing, you really want to see your official wet the bed." Yuan Wenshao said angrily.

"Okay, okay, sit down and I'll get you a chamber pot."

Hua Lan went to get the chamber pot, unbuttoned his clothes, held it with one hand, turned his head with a blushing face, and said, "Okay."

After waiting for a while and hearing no movement, Hua Lan urged: "Hurry up."

"Let go, I'll do it myself. How can I come out easily if you're like this?" Yuan Wenshao said awkwardly.

After finally solving the physical problem, Hua Lan took off the chamber pot, dressed him again, and helped him lie down.

After doing this, Hua Lan called the maid in, took out the chamber pot, and asked someone to fetch water for Yuan Wenshao to wash up.

"How long have I slept?"

Yuan Wenshao asked while looking at Hua Lan who was gently wiping his face.

"It didn't take long, it's just past noon now. Are you hungry, sir? I'll have someone make something to eat. You'll be fine in a while," Hua Lan said.

"What happened last night?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

"At dawn, the girl from the Rong family was found. This morning the imperial court issued an announcement saying that there was a rebellion in the south. Not only did they proclaim themselves emperor, but they also captured more than a dozen counties in the two states. The rebels were heading towards Bianjing to kill. The officials were worried about rebel spies sneaking into the city, so they drove the people back home and imposed a curfew," Hua Lan said.

When Yuan Wenshao heard this, he knew that this was probably what the officials said to cover up the matter.

It's a pity that the matter is so big, and this can only deceive ordinary people.

Yuan Wenshao was silent for a while and asked, "How is the Sheng family doing?"

"Grandma was so angry that she fainted. I heard that she hasn't woken up yet. I have to take care of the officials here, so I don't have time to check on her," Hua Lan said worriedly.

"I feel much better. Why don't you go to Sheng's house to see grandma now?" Yuan Wenshao said.

"I'll go after the officials have finished their meal." Hua Lan nodded.

Her feelings for the old lady were not much worse than Minglan's, and she was very worried when she learned that the old lady was in a coma.

But Yuan Wenshao didn't wake up, and she was really worried.

"There are servants waiting for us when we are eating, so you should hurry over and take a look." Yuan Wenshao said.

Hua Lan hesitated for a moment and said, "The official needs to eat more. I'll go take a look and come back."

"Well, go ahead and send someone to notify me if there is any news." Yuan Wenshao said.

Not long after Hua Lan left, the servants brought food.

After Yuan Wenshao had eaten, he called Zhang An over.

"My lord." Zhang An walked into the room with a bit of shame on his face.

Yuan Wenshao saw that his eyes were red and said, "You haven't slept until now, have you?"

"I didn't protect the master well. The master didn't wake up. I really don't have the shame to sleep." Zhang An said with his head lowered.

"Fart, that was an accident, not your problem. I'm going to tell you something. You arrange for someone to do it, then go back to sleep." Yuan Wenshao said angrily.

"Yes, please give me your orders, my lord." Zhang An said.

"You arrange for secret guards to check for me who the original owner of the house where the gang of thieves hid yesterday is. The more detailed the investigation on the owner of the house is, the better." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Yes, does the master have any other instructions?" Zhang An asked.

"No, remember to go back and sleep. If you still have red eyes when you come to see me next time, don't follow me anymore." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Yes!"

Zhang An bowed and retreated.

Yuan Wenshao lay on the bed, thinking about the contents of yesterday's letter, and began to ponder.

……

Cao Rui hurriedly walked into the front hall, saluted Jiang Jingming, who was lost in thought, and said, "Master."

Jiang Jingming came back to his senses and asked, "Have you checked it out? How did you find out there?"

"I have inquired clearly. Concubine Rong's sister Rong Feiyan was kidnapped at the lantern festival last night. In addition, the sixth girl of the Sheng family was also kidnapped. The gang of thieves who kidnapped the girl of the Sheng family were hiding there. In the house. The girl from the Sheng family was the sister of Mrs. Yuan Wenshao. After Yuan Wenshao learned the news, he traced the house all the way. During the fight to save people, he accidentally fell into the secret room. People from the patrol camp and the Five City Soldiers and Horses Division heard the movement. I rushed over and found out that there was a large amount of gold and silver hidden in the secret room, so I reported it."

"Early this morning, the Forbidden Army blocked the place and wanted to move the gold and silver treasures in the secret room." Cao Rui said.

Jiang Jingming's face was gloomy and he said: "Trash, you have been searching for so long and you haven't found it. Why are you saying that Zheng Shiqian might have put it somewhere else? What do I need from you?"

"Master, have mercy on me." Cao Rui was so frightened that his legs softened and he knelt down, saying, "The villain led people to search carefully, but they couldn't find it. It's really that Zheng Shiqian was hidden too well."

Jiang Jingming said coldly: "Incompetent people make excuses. I will give you another chance. You must find out the whereabouts of the Dragon Ball. As long as you can get the Dragon Ball, I will not only forget the blame, but also ask Your Majesty to take credit for you. If If you can’t get it, don’t blame me!”

"Yes, yes, I will definitely get the dragon ball." Cao Rui wiped his cold sweat and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Go!" Jiang Jingming said coldly.

……

The second girl of the Rong family was kidnapped. The common people didn't know, but they couldn't hide it from the officials.

Because the officials wanted to cover it up, and many people speculated that King Yong did it, no one dared to discuss it yet.

Qi family
Princess Pingning stood at the door of the main hall with an expressionless face.

After a while, Bu Wei was brought over, and he knelt on the ground and saluted: "Greetings to the princess."

Princess Pingning said calmly: "No, how many years have you been in the mansion and how many years have you been with Heng'er?"

"The youngest entered the palace at the age of six, and was lucky enough to become the young master's attendant at the age of seven. It has been ten years," Buwei said.

"Ten years." Princess Pingning nodded and said, "No wonder she helped Heng'er send messages to the Sheng family girl without telling me, and did the matchmaking work."

Buwei had a flash of panic in his eyes and said, "No, little one."

"No? Do you think the affairs of this family can be hidden from my eyes? When you left the house yesterday, did you send a message to the little concubine of the Sheng family for Heng'er? You also bribed the concierge. It's really big. How courageous!" Princess Pingning said coldly.

Knowing that she couldn't hide it, she said: "Princess, my wife did go to see the sixth girl of the Sheng family yesterday, but it was not the young master who asked me to go. I saw the young master become so thin, and I felt so distressed that I decided to do it myself. I advocated going to see the sixth girl of the Sheng family."

"Since you made the decision on your own, it's easy to handle. Come here, drag Buwei down, beat him to death, and throw him into a mass grave to feed the dogs!"

After Princess Pingning finished speaking, she turned around and entered the hall.

"Princess Princess, please forgive me~"
