Splendid Abandoned Wife

Chapter 20 Hear
There are fewer people and carriages, and the trip back to Beijing is much faster than when we came here.But if Ruo Ruo was still anxious, she hoped to arrive in Beijing before her parents were buried, so that she could pick up her younger siblings in time.

As far as she knew, after her parents were killed, some mid-level and senior generals, headed by Xu Yuzhang and three others, had been defending her father and competing for the production of tangible evidence that could convict her of treason. Otherwise, her father must be buried properly as soon as possible ( Officials who were guilty of treason were not allowed to be buried, they were all thrown into mass graves and burned).On the fifth day, Dali Temple had no choice but to let them carry away his father's body and bury it with his mother, Princess Qianxin. They were also forced to let Xu Yuzhang and others pick up the four Yin Mingze brothers and sisters.

However, what Xu Yuzhang and others did not expect was that the next day, the Yin family's old servants reported that the four Yin Mingzes were "missing".

If there were no changes in this life, based on the current itinerary, she expected that they would be able to arrive before noon on the day when Yin Zhao and his wife were buried, and everything should be still in time.

The closer he got to the capital, the harder Zhiruo's heart beat.Secretly praying that no accident would happen in this life, and the two ungrateful uncles would secretly sell the brothers and sisters again.

Tie Muyuan understood Zhiruo's anxious mood. Because he believed in Zhiruo's theory of "dream entrustment", he was anxious to return to Beijing to understand the situation of the Yin family.Along the way, except for having to stay in an inn at night, they were on the road during the day and basically had dry food for lunch.

But that day, just when they stopped to eat solid food and take a rest, Ling Xiang'er, who was sitting on the stone next to Zhiruo, suddenly stood up.Following her line of sight, Zhiruo saw two people and two horses under a big tree not far ahead.One of them had his back to them, the other was facing sideways, and you could see a big smile on his face.

The two men were talking excitedly about something while eating pancakes, and from time to time they burst into rude and proud laughter.

Zhiruo asked softly: "Do you know them?"

Ling Xiang'er tightened the big hat of her cloak tightly, and most of her face was covered: "They were sent by my father to pick me up and Qian'er. The bearded one with the side face said he was the second housekeeper, what's his name?" Wealth, and the other a coachman.”

After the carriage crashed, she kept thinking about the scene that day, and she always felt that something was wrong.As a father, how dare he jump out of the carriage and escape without saying a word, but then leave the two siblings on the carriage and let the suddenly crazy horse run wildly?If she hadn't been so determined to hug her brother and risk jumping out of the carriage together, the siblings would have already...

Zhiruo heard some things said by Ling Xiang'er, including what happened that day when she jumped from the carriage. In addition to lamenting that the siblings were so lucky, she also directly suspected that the two people caused the "Crazy Horse" accident.

"You get in the car first," Zhiruo said, "Whether they did it intentionally or not, I think it's better for you to go directly to Ling's house by yourself, and let them explain to your father when you get back." Because Zhiruo had heard it in his previous life. Regarding the story of the Ling siblings, she knew that Ling Xiang'er's father, the Minister of Household Affairs, Ling Zhengfeng, was a real scumbag and a scumbag father, and Mrs. Ling, Mrs. Zhang, was an out-and-out vicious stepmother, so she couldn't help but suspect that one of those two scumbags was one of them. A person behind the scenes directed the Crazy Horse incident.But at this time, the Ling Xiang'er siblings still had admiration for their father, and it was impossible for Zhi Ruo to say to her, "Be careful of your father and stepmother!".

And the facts of the past life also show that this pair of sensitive and intelligent siblings are not easy to bully.

Ling Xiang'er nodded and got on the carriage. She was glad that she didn't wake up Ling Ziqian who had fallen asleep while reading.She felt vaguely hesitant and uneasy in her heart: Looking at the appearance of the two people, it was obvious that they were not worried at all about how to explain to their father. Why?
She suddenly thought of what the aunts and uncles in the village often said: a stepmother's heart is like a snake and a scorpion. With a stepmother, a biological father becomes a stepfather.

When they arrived at the inn in the evening, Ling Xiang'er was obviously in a depressed mood and claimed that she wasn't hungry and didn't want to have dinner.Zhiruo was worried that the two evil slaves would come to this inn to meet them head-on, so he followed Ling Xiang'er: "You sister and brother go to the room to rest first. I will ask the waiter to deliver the food to the room later."

As a result, as soon as Ling Xiang'er and her brother went upstairs, they saw a waiter carrying a food box into a room with an open door. Ling Xiang'er glanced over and saw the two people who were cursing at the waiter and complaining about the slow delivery of food and drinks. Aren't they just Ah Cai and the other two?Ling Ziqian also saw it, and when he was about to open his mouth, his sister covered his mouth.Ling Ziqian was a very smart child. He reacted immediately and blinked at his sister to show that he understood.

Ling Xiang'er let go of her hand, pulled Ling Ziqian forward quickly, and soon found their room.

After entering the house, Ling Xiang'er said: "Qian'er, you stay in the house while I go take a look. I put on my curtain hat so I won't be easily discovered." Her body shape is similar to that of Zhiruo, but a little shorter. Zhiruo gave her a new set of clothes, including a windbreaker and a curtain hat.As long as women don't have special body shapes, they all look the same when wearing a curtain hat.

Ling Ziqian nodded and said, "Sister, be careful."

Ling Xiang'er took out the curtain hat and put it on, opened the door and poked her head around to look around. The waiter carrying the empty food box had just come down the stairs. The corridor was empty, and the door of Ah Cai's room diagonally opposite was also closed.

Nodding to Ling Ziqian, Ling Xiang'er tied up her hat and curtain, closed the door and walked out.When passing by Ah Cai's room, she looked around again and gently approached the door. Sure enough, a cheerful conversation came from inside:

"I estimate I'll be back at home in less than two hours tomorrow morning. To be honest, I miss my mother-in-law."

"Brother, if you hadn't gone to see your sister and brother-in-law for two days, we would have returned to Beijing long ago. Today, in fact, if we didn't go shopping on the street, we would have arrived in the capital later if we had rushed on. You Can I sleep with my mother-in-law in my arms? Hahaha."

"Tch, my mother-in-law said, don't go back too fast, as if things are easy to handle. Let Madam worry about it for two more days. The more worried you are, the more you will value us when you hear the good news, and the more rewards you will receive. thick."

"Hehe, you are right to follow Brother A Cai anyway. Who doesn't know that Sister-in-law A Yue is the number one around Madam? Who else knows Madam better than sister-in-law? But Brother A Cai, is there really no problem with the master? "

"What's the problem? The master comes from a poor family. How could he be the Minister of Household Affairs today without the help of his wife's mother-in-law? Besides, if the master's aunt hadn't gone and asked someone to bring a letter to the capital, the master would Have you forgotten those two little bastards a long time ago? They haven't been around since childhood, and they were born to village women, so how can they have any feelings? How can they compare with the serious young master in our house? The doctors all said that the lady is pregnant this time He must be a young master."

"That's right, if those two little bastards are allowed to enter the house, won't they take away the title of the eldest son and eldest daughter in vain, and put our eldest daughter and the future young master at the mercy of us?"
