Do you know the long song of laughter?

Chapter 385 Minglan’s visit
Dong Rong waited outside the imperial city until night. When the palace gate closed, Sheng Hong was not seen coming out, so he had no choice but to go back.

After Mrs. Wang learned about it, she could no longer hold back.

That's the imperial palace. From the founding of the People's Republic of China to the present day, even the princes of the past dynasties have almost never been left to spend the night in the palace.

Sheng Hong, a fifth-rank official, was left in the palace and did not come out even after the palace gate was closed. It was obvious that the situation was in danger.

Mrs. Wang felt that the sky was about to fall, and she ran to find Mrs. Sheng.

When Mrs. Sheng saw Mrs. Wang crying and making such a mess, she angrily scolded her and drove her back.

Doesn't she know what it means if Sheng Hong doesn't come back at this time?
But at this time, the house should not be chaotic.

Moreover, it was already dark at this time, so it would be inconvenient to find someone to inquire. We could only wait until tomorrow.

Mrs. Wang was reprimanded, and when she returned to Wei Ruixuan, she was so angry that she threw things.

"After all, I'm not my biological child. When something happens to an official, he knows to tell me not to panic, to hold steady, and not to be anxious at all!" Mrs. Wang cursed.

"Yes." Seeing Lin Xiaoniang say this, Xue Niang could only agree.

"Early tomorrow morning, sell these jewelry shops and farms and exchange them for silver." Lin Xiaoniang ordered.

Only by first finding out what happened can we see if we can ask those people for help and intercession based on the situation.

"Yes!" Mother Liu responded and went down to make arrangements.

Although the Sheng family has some connections, they don't even know why Sheng Hong was kept in the palace now. If you ask them for help, they may not be willing to help.

He quickly dug out the jewelry and the land deeds for the farm shop and began to count them carefully.

It was precisely because of her downfall that she was unwilling to live a hard life and would rather be Sheng Hong's concubine than marry the poor scholar arranged for her by Mrs. Sheng.

"Madam, I think the old lady is right. You need to keep the door open at this time, and don't let any more trouble happen at home." Liu's mother advised.

Although Mother Liu is just a servant, she has a very clear mind.

Lin Xiaoniang tasted both warmth and cold, and was finally taken in by Mrs. Sheng.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Sheng called Sheng Changbai, Sheng Changfeng and Minglan over.

Lin Xiaoniang lowered her head to pack. She didn't even raise her head when she heard the words. She said impatiently: "What a pity. I can only feel at ease if I change it to silver. If it is copied, I will lose everything. Remember to be careful when you go out. Don’t get noticed.”

"You should all know about your father's affairs. The urgent need now is to find out why he was left in the palace. Brother Bai, you have a good relationship with the Ningyuan Marquis Gu Jia Erlang. You can go to the Gu family to find out. Gu Erlang helps, see if he can ask Gu Hou to help find out what is the reason. Brother Feng goes to the Duke of Qi's Mansion to find Young Master Qi. Princess Pingning often comes to the palace and is well-informed. If she helps, she should. I can get some news. I'll go find Brother Li tomorrow. His teacher is the censor, so I might be able to find out some news." Mrs. Sheng said with a serious face.

How similar is the scene today to then?
When she thinks of the days when she lived on the streets, had no food to eat, and was looked down upon by others, Lin Xiaoniang feels vivid in her mind.

Sheng Hong has not treated her badly over the years and has given her many farms and shops one after another.

……

"Mom, these jewelry are nothing more. The farmland is fertile land, and the location of the shop is not bad. You can get a lot of money every year. It will be difficult to buy it back after you sell it. It's a pity." Xue Niang advised.

The Lin family was unprepared. After their property was confiscated, they had no choice but to live on the streets.

After Lin Xiaoniang heard the news, she unconsciously thought of her father.

Her father didn't come home all night, and the next day someone ransacked the house.

"Send a few capable people to guard the doors of the house. No one is allowed to go out without my permission." Madam Wang regained some sense after venting her anger.

"Yes!"

The three of them also knew that the matter was serious, so they responded and retreated.

When the three of them went out to find someone for information, Xue Niang also went out with the land deed given by Lin Xiaoniang.

Although Mrs. Wang arranged for someone to guard the door, the people below didn't know what happened. In addition, Xue Niang paid the person guarding the back door and still left the Sheng family. …

When Li An learned that Minglan was here, he already guessed what was going on and hurried to the door.

"What happened? Why don't you come in?" Li An asked when he saw Minglan waiting by the carriage.

"Brother Ziqian, my father..." Minglan explained the matter again and said: "I came here this time just to ask Brother Ziqian to help ask Liu Yushi to see if he knows why my father was detained. "In the palace."

"I will go find the teacher right away. If there is any news, I will go to the Sheng family to inform you as soon as possible." Li An said.

Sure enough, this was the case, but even though he knew it, he couldn't tell him directly.

He remembered that Sheng Hong escaped by taking advantage of Minglan's words.

But in this time and space, Minglan didn't say those words, it became what he said.

I hope Sheng Hong said what he said, otherwise it will be dangerous this time.

"Thank you, brother Ziqian." Minglan bowed.

"Why are we so polite? Why don't you go in to drink some water and take a break? I'll go over and ask now." Li An said.

"No need, the house is in a mess now, I want to go back as soon as possible." Minglan shook his head.

"Well, don't worry, uncle, he should be fine." Li An comforted him.

After seeing Minglan off, Li An asked Desheng to tell the driver to prepare the car while he waited at the door.

He remembered that in the original drama, the people left behind by the official family were all the children of the family who secretly talked about supporting Prince Yan to become the crown prince.

Now it seems that the official family has decided to establish King Yong. This is also to defeat those who support King Yan.

"Aniu, I heard Minglan is here. Where is he?"

At this moment, Mr. Liu came out, looked around, and asked.

"mother,……"

Li An explained the matter in general, and Mrs. Liu said anxiously: "Then go and ask for help."

"I know, don't tell dad and the others about this to save them from worrying." Li An said.

"understood."

Mrs. Liu nodded and said worriedly: "This matter won't involve our family, right?"

"No, it shouldn't be a big deal. Mom, don't think too much. I'll go first and talk to you when I get back." Seeing the carriage coming, Li An said something and got on the carriage.

……

When the carriage was approaching Liu's house, Li An realized that today was not Xiu Mu, Liu Xuewen was not at home.

So he asked the coachman to change direction and go to the imperial city.

The imperial city is not the same as the palace. If the imperial city is compared to a house, then the palace belongs in the backyard.

The front half of the imperial city is where the six ministries and offices are located, and the back is the palace.

Therefore, the internal control of the imperial city is not strict and you can enter, but each yamen is guarded, and you need to report if you want to enter.

Li An came to the gate of Jianyuan, got off the carriage, asked someone to report, and waited for a while before Liu Xuewen came out.
