After the whole family was swept away, I lay down flat

Chapter 490 Urgent Report
Hai Jiao took the initiative to avoid the situation, but suddenly there was such a large group of people in the alley. It was impossible for the other neighbors to not notice it. Soon someone opened the door and carefully observed what was going on outside.

After a while, someone opened the door of the Jin family's house and welcomed the large group of people outside the door, as well as the carriage and guards, into the house. The alley returned to calm.

As soon as the door of Jin's house was closed, someone immediately ran to Hai's house at the entrance of the alley to inquire about the situation. He had just discovered that the door of the Hai family was half open, and he must have seen this group of people. The Hai family is so familiar with the Jin family, so they must know some inside information, right?

Of course Hai Jiao knew the inside story, but he couldn't tell people directly, so he just used words to explain it away. But the man refused to give up and went to visit other people's houses. After a while, he brought the boy from the Wang family over to look for Haijiao. Haijiao had a headache, but he could only endure it and socialize with the neighbors.

After Ma Shangyi and his party entered the Jin family's house, they didn't come out for a long time. It was already past the normal time for visiting guests. This made the neighbors even more curious, and they all speculated who the visitor was.

Some people recognized that the leader of the guards was from the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, and speculated that the Zhenguo Duke and his wife had sent someone to visit the Jin family. Some people thought that most of the guards in that team were strangers, not even in uniform. A common currency in the northwest, I don’t know where the officers and soldiers came from; some people have heard rumors and know that Jin Jiashu has an aunt who married into a wealthy family. They guessed that his aunt came to see him and taunted him privately that the Jin family was dead. It’s been half a year since Jin Jiashu’s aunt came here, so I’m afraid she doesn’t care about him that much…

Everyone had all sorts of conjectures, but Hai Jiao knew the inside story. Listening to other people's nonsense, he just felt dumbfounded, but he couldn't make any clarification.

After Ma Shangyi stayed at Jin's house for an hour, even the old lady of Wang's family couldn't help but run to Hai's house to chat with Ma. Naturally, Mrs. Ma couldn't tell her about the Jin family, and the old lady of the Wang family didn't care. She turned around and asked what happened in the third room of the Zhou family today?
Zhen Guogong and his wife came to the third room of the Zhou family together with Tu Tongzhi from Shaanxi Dusi. Zhou Shigong also ordered the door to be closed and no one was allowed to come in or out. Even relatives, friends and former subordinates were not allowed to enter. Something big must have happened. Some people said that they saw Mrs. Hai coming out of the third room of the Zhou family. Mrs. Wang knew that she and Zhou Ma were biological sisters, so she must have first-hand information, so she came to inquire. She had a maternal cousin who was serving as a junior officer under Zhou Shicheng, the second master of the Zhou family's third room, so she was quite worried.

Mrs. Ma had no choice but to calm down Mrs. Wang with gentle words and get some unimportant news to deal with it temporarily.

Mrs. Wang was not very satisfied at first, but then Hai Jiao suddenly came in: "My aunt has sent colorful silk here. I have an urgent matter to discuss with grandma. I wonder if grandma will have time to see her right now?"

Ma couldn't help but be startled when he heard this. Caijuan is Zhou Ma's confidant. Generally, she is not needed to do small tasks such as delivering messages. Even in the Zhou family's three-bedroom house, Cailuo is mostly sent out. The two sisters have been separated for less than half a day. What urgent matter could Zhou Ma have that requires him to send a colorful silk to convey the message?
Ma's expression suddenly became serious. She sat up straight, smiled and said to Mrs. Wang: "I'm so sorry, a foreigner suddenly came to the house. Look..."

Mrs. Wang blinked and said very knowingly: "Then I'll talk to you tomorrow. If you encounter any difficulties, just ask. You old neighbors, as long as we can, we will try our best to help!"

Mrs. Wang left quickly. In the main courtyard, she passed by Caijuan who hurriedly entered the door, and she couldn't help showing a bit of interest. However, she always knew what was appropriate and would not talk too much here, so she left simply.

After Hai Jiao sent the person out, he couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of Cai Juan's expression, he had a vague premonition in his heart and hurriedly turned around and headed to the main courtyard.

In the upper room of the main courtyard, Haitang had already received the letter and rushed over. She was sitting next to her grandmother Ma, listening to Caijuan's words with her.

Caijuan eagerly told Ma the whole story of why her mistress sent her to report the news: "My wife didn't mean it... she just saw the eldest young master coming out of the master's study, he seemed very sad, so she just said a few more words, hoping The eldest young master should not feel sorry for the old lady. But the eldest young master seemed to be very excited and ran to the west courtyard to find the old lady. This will pay off. In the last few days of the old lady's life, spending more time with her will be regarded as fulfilling your filial piety, and you won't have to feel that you owe anyone in the future. The master thought that the young master was right, so he agreed..." Ma. Shi frowned when he heard this: "I told you a long time ago, why does the eldest sister worry about this?! Zhou Jinpu has his own father to discipline him, and he doesn't take the eldest sister as his stepmother seriously, so he won't get any benefits by meddling in his business. , Why bother?" She guessed that it must have been the eldest sister's talk in front of Zhou Jinpu that made her brother-in-law Zhou Shigong unhappy?
"It's not like that..." Caijuan said with a sad face, "The eldest young master didn't tell the master, but the master didn't know what the wife said to him! The wife was also afraid that the master would blame her, so she didn't say it clearly."

At this time, Hai Jiao walked in, saluted his grandmother Ma, and sat down on the chair opposite.

Ma waved her hand at her grandson, not taking it seriously, and just asked Caijuan in confusion: "Then what are you anxious about? Zhou Jinpu wants to go to Mrs. Ma to pay filial piety, so let him go. Anyway, it's in your house. "

Caijuan cried: "My wife remembered what my cousin had reminded her before. She was worried that the old lady would say something in front of the eldest young master and instigate him to help her escape, so she sent her slave to keep an eye on her. The slave was guarding outside the house and kissed her. I heard the eldest young master talking to the old lady when he was away... He said he would help her escape and asked her if she had anyone she could trust or a place to go! "

Ma Shi, Hai Jiao and Hai Tang were all surprised.

Haitang looked puzzled: "Is the relationship between their grandparents and grandchildren so deep? I thought that after Mrs. Ma revealed her true identity, Zhou Jinpu should have a suspicion towards this step-grandmother. The dowry left to him by his biological mother , seems to have been completely ruined, right?”

Hai Jiao asked: "Is Zhou Jinpu just talking? He is a useless person who is not good at civil and military affairs. How can he have the ability to rescue Mrs. Ma without telling others under heavy guard?"

Ma also felt that this was unreliable: "Look, that boy doesn't seem to be such a filial person. It's strange that he is willing to chat with Mrs. Ma now, let alone to save people? When will he With such courage?"

Caijuan cried: "My wife is very scared. She doesn't know what the young master wants to do, but she is afraid that he will get into trouble."

Zhou Yijun has been staying with her grandmother Zhou Ma, but she is much calmer than the latter. She thought that Zhou Jinpu did not have this ability, and he did not seem to be such a filial brother to Mrs. Ma.

Mrs. Ma has been under house arrest in the West Courtyard for the past few months. If Zhou Jinpu really loved and raised his step-grandmother, he would not have visited her in the West Courtyard even once, even if it was just to kowtow and ask questions outside the courtyard gate. install. He also didn't care about his step-grandmother's daily life in captivity, and spent all his energy on quarreling with his wife and children. Rather than saying that Zhou Jinpu would take a big risk to rescue Mrs. Ma from the third room of the Zhou family, Zhou Yijun would rather believe that he had an ulterior motive for saying this, probably because he wanted to take revenge on Mrs. Ma.

What's more, he suddenly said such words to Mrs. Ma after listening to Zhou Ma's instigation.

Zhou Ma was dubious about her granddaughter's inference. One of the things she worries about most now is that whether Zhou Jinpu wants to save people or take revenge, once he does something outrageous and Zhou Shigong blames him, he will definitely find out that she once sowed discord in front of Zhou Jinpu. What will she do then? ? !
