Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 519
Yongding Hou Mansion.

Lu Shiyin was having lunch, she was in a good mood, she didn't eat much rice, but she used a lot of vegetables, now she is holding celery and lily in her mouth gracefully with chopsticks.

however……

"Miss, it's not good. The Jingzhao Mansion sent people to surround our mansion, saying that they want us to hand over the arsonist."

A servant girl hurried in from outside.

Hearing such words, Lu Shiyin was taken aback, suddenly put down her chopsticks, turned to face the source of the sound, and said, "What's going on?"

When she raised her eyes, she saw her personal maid whispering softly, sweating profusely, with an anxious expression on her face.

Lu Shiyin didn't react yet, but said with some stern attitude: "What are you talking about?"

"Miss, people from Jingzhao Mansion are here to arrest you, run away quickly." Qingyu said in panic.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Lu Shiyin showed a mocking and arrogant look on his face, why did Jing Zhaoyin arrest her?Jing Zhaoyin is just a petty official, how dare he...

Thinking of this, Lu Shiyin's heart skipped a beat, Jing Zhaoyin?Arsonists?
It was only then that Lu Shiyin realized that Qingyu was not joking, and she didn't have the guts to do so.

"What's going on? Tell me clearly!" Lu Shiyin asked, "Did they make a mistake, arsonist? Isn't that Nan Surou?"

"Miss, the governor of Jingzhao Mansion said that there are evidences for arresting people, and the master has nothing to say, so he is coming this way." Qingyu said eagerly.

Lu Shiyin's words were all stuck in her throat, how can she escape now?Didn't Qingyu say that Jing Zhaoyin had people block the whole mansion?How can she escape?
At this time, Lu Hongzhan, the eldest son of the Marquis of Yongding, happened to be returning home in a soft sedan chair.

Who knew, after another alley, you could reach the gate of Yongding Hou's Mansion, but it stopped because of an accident.

That slave was sent by Lu Hongzhan to fetch new clothes today, and he was still carrying something in his hands, presumably he hadn't entered the mansion yet after going out.

Lu Hongzhan frowned and looked at him, thinking why didn't this guy go back home with his new clothes, what did he mean by coming here to block him?
Before Lu Hongzhan could ask the reason, the servant knelt down and said, "My lord, something happened, something happened, the people from the yamen surrounded our house, saying they wanted to arrest Miss!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Hongzhan was stunned, and immediately asked: "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"

The servant was obviously frightened, his legs went limp, he sat on the ground tremblingly, and said tremblingly: "My lord, this servant just came back from outside, look, the thing you asked this servant to take is still in your hand, The slave didn't enter the gate of the mansion, and saw a large group of officers and soldiers there, the whole mansion was sealed off, only allowed to enter but not to leave, so the slave didn't dare to approach, only heard the leader say that he wanted to arrest the eldest lady, calling her an arsonist. "

Arsonists?
Lu Hongzhan is not a fool, as soon as he heard it, he immediately thought of the fire that involved a lot of people a few days ago.

But how could this matter be connected with Lu Shiyin?How strange!
Lu Hongzhan hurried back to Yongding Hou Mansion without stopping.

Sure enough, I saw many yamen servants standing at the door and in the yard, the door was sealed, and there was a lot of people inside.

It feels like a mess.

This mansion is only allowed to enter but not to exit, but Lu Hongzhan went in without any trouble.

Lu Hongzhan walked all the way without questioning any servants, but went directly to the main hall and met his father.

The Marquis of Yongding was listening to Yin Xuzhui of Jingzhao Mansion with a gloomy face.

Lu Hongzhan stepped forward to salute without changing his face, and then said in a cold voice: "Master Xu, what's going on? My father is a fifth-rank official. How dare you bother to search the house like this?"

Xu Zhui said solemnly: "Master Lu, I have made this matter clear to Lord Yongdinghou. It is really wrong to disturb your house, but I am also following orders, please forgive me."

Follow orders?

Lu Hongzhan frowned, his handsome face was a bit ferocious, he didn't know the reason of the matter, so he asked in a good voice: "What's the matter? You bothered Mr. Xu?"

There was a trace of contempt in Xu Zhui's eyes, but there was a humble expression on his face, he said: "It turns out that the eldest son didn't know about it, it was just a few days ago that the East Street caught fire and burned fifty shops. The owners behind those shops are one of the most powerful and powerful in the capital, and they have a lot of involvement, so they have to be strictly investigated. The person who set the fire was caught, and he connected with a steward named Zhao Qing from the Yongding Hou Mansion, but was arrested. When he was caught on the spot, the incident exploded, it was Lu Shiyin, the eldest lady of the Yongding Hou Mansion, who instigated him to set the fire, and wanted to frame the incident on Princess Ruiherou."

"It's a bunch of nonsense..." Lu Hongzhan snapped angrily.

Lu Hongzhan wanted to say that his sister was so young, weak, and of noble birth, how could she do such a thing.

Who knows, Xu Zhui didn't give him a chance to reprimand him, and interrupted him loudly, and continued: "Originally, this matter should be delayed, and someone should come to ask the eldest lady, this matter is not as urgent as it is now. The problem is that this incident alarmed Lord Pan, the prime minister of the right. In a rage, he told the emperor that the arsonist was ordered by others to do such a frenzied and ungrateful scandal at the feet of the emperor, and he sued Lord Yongding for his lax discipline. It caused a catastrophe, and the owners of those shops, including many princes and nobles, also came forward to ask for orders when they heard what the right minister said, and His Majesty ordered Jing Zhaoyin to investigate and deal with it strictly."

Xu Zhui made it clear in one sentence: It's useless for you to scold me. If you want to blame it, blame your family for raising a troublemaker. The way to cover it up for you is not because I don't give you Yongding Houfu face, but because I have no chance at all.

Lu Hongzhan hated it in his heart, and thought in his mind, Lu Shiyin, an idiot, ruined the style of the family, and if he was full on weekdays, it would be fine to make trouble for the daughter of Befu, but today he actually used this kind of cheap trick to find Rui Herou Princess' trouble.

Nan Surou, a girl from the countryside, can be named princess by the queen. She must be extraordinary. Lu Shiyin was punished last time, but she still hasn't learned how to behave. Yongding Hou Mansion!

Lu Hongzhan was extremely angry in his heart. However, as the eldest son of Yongding Hou, he had never seen anything in the world, and he could already control his emotions. He became a little calmer, sighed, and said: "Now, Is Master Xu going in to arrest her?"

Xu Zhui gave Yongdinghou a look of embarrassment.

Lu Hongzhan instantly understood how such a stalemate came about.

Xu Zhui is a man who is used to seeing the wind and wind, and he doesn't want to offend anyone, so he spends his time here, but the Marquis of Yongding doesn't let go, so Xu Zhui spends his time here, and when the time passes, Xu Zhui will send people to the palace to play Emperor Ming, it can be said that the Marquis of Yongding resisted the edict and did not respect it, and that would cost the lives of hundreds of people from the Lu family of the Marquis of Yongding.

Lu Hongzhan looked up at Yongdinghou, and saw that Yongdinghou's face was gloomy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Lu Hongzhan whispered: "Father, let me go and talk to her."
