Chapter 332
When she arrived at Luo's house, Lu Baozhu didn't say anything useful, and that's all she knew.Ning Wan then asked her servants to take her down to rest, and then asked a doctor to take care of the wound without mentioning the medicine.

Everyone in the room was dismissed, and everyone felt a heavy heart, Ning Wan said: "I never seriously thought about it before, but now I see that Lu Tiecheng may be the illegitimate child that Wu Liangshang said."

In this way, everything made sense, Luo Bing went on to say: "According to the time, it was exactly what happened when Marquis Xiangwu was in Liaodong."

They kept turning to Tieshi, who must have been very sad to hear the news.Tie Shi smiled wryly, "It's okay. Actually, I thought about it a long time ago, but I just don't want to admit it."

Ning Wan quietly took his hand, "Elder-in-law must have been cheated, and he was so annoyed when he woke up later."

"But what's the use of that? My mother has been suffering for most of her life." Tie Shi shook his head, as if unwilling to mention family matters, and said: "The relationship between Zhou's family and Marquis Xiangwu is more than that. I took Anping The queen found out that the army stationed food, all kinds of military supplies, and ordnance were insufficient. It was only because the barbarians had entered the city to loot that they could not track it down. Now it is absolutely certain that they have been embezzling military funds. Wu Er knew the inside story and took a share of it For this reason, Commander Zhou ordered the Zhiyi people to take the opportunity to kill him when they besieged the city. The prefect didn’t know the details, but felt that his dignity had been challenged, so he went to the door, and Commander Zhou also killed him.”

Luo Bing said: "So the Marquis Xiangwu tried his best to protect the Zhou Commander, and the Anping Guard City broke the Zhou Commander. Later, Wu grain merchants came to the capital to reveal the matter. So he simply ordered Lu Yan to kill Commander Zhou, and himself killed the Zhou family and others, and Wu grain merchants may be in danger."

Ning Wan asked in horror: "What are they doing with so much money?"

Sure enough, Luo Bing uttered the word in her heart in a low voice, "King King!" Shaking his head, he said softly: "Everyone in the capital knows that King Jing is a virtuous king. It is to be piled up with silver coins."

The illegitimate son Wu Er knew led to the embezzlement of military supplies, and then to the seizing of the heir, so King Jing and Marquis Xiangwu tried their best to cover it up, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world, brother Luo, Tie Shi and themselves have already guessed.

Before arriving in the capital, Ning Wan didn't even pay much attention to the imperial list posted at the gate of the city, and never thought that she could have something to do with the royal family's secrets.But less than a month after arriving in the capital, she found that she had already rolled up.Suddenly, she remembered the upcoming hunt, was it really just to hunt?Does King Jing think that Tieshi will harm him if he knows the inside story?She couldn't help shouting loudly: "Iron Stone!" She grabbed his hand tightly.

Lu Tieshi smiled coldly, "Don't be afraid! I will be careful when hunting! Besides, I also want to see if they really have the guts to attack me!" It turned out that he also thought of this.

Luo Bing calmed down at this moment, "Although King Jing and Marquis Xiangwu might be going to jump over the wall in a hurry, the emperor is not without thoughts. Before autumn, King Jing and Marquis Xiangwu began to urge the emperor to go hunting, and now the more I am The more I think about it, the more I feel that it wasn't that Majesty Tie Shi happened to be hunting when he met, but that the emperor wanted to hunt because he came."

Tie Shi also recalled the events of that day, "When my majesty met, the emperor asked me a lot about marching and fighting. He also asked me how many soldiers I brought to the capital, whether everyone had experienced defending the city and making military achievements, etc."

Ning Wan was very surprised, "Brother Luo is saying that the emperor actually knew about it a long time ago, and then set a trap for King Jing by hunting?"

The two men said together: "It should be."

But the two who can kill each other are father and son!Ning Wan finally swallowed these words, so what about father and son?The father-in-law was extremely indifferent to Tieshi, his own son, and the other Lu Tieyuan didn't get much attention. The only Lu Tiecheng who was most concerned about him and passed on his job was not his flesh and blood. Even when you are in good health, you will vomit blood!
But looking back, Ning Wan felt relieved.They were really lucky, they guessed the truth of the matter before hunting, and they were able to prepare in advance.As long as you are prepared, there is nothing too scary.

They even kept Wei Shi and Luo Yan a secret about this kind of thing, and they discussed the countermeasures for one night. Everyone went as usual the next day. It was impossible for them to expose the matter. There was no evidence at all, and the emperor probably didn't want it either. Let it all come to light, the best thing to do now is for them to pretend they don't know anything.

When Luo Bing went to the Yamen, Tie Shi and Ning Wan didn't go out to hang out, after all, there was an extra Lu Baozhu in the yard.

Lu Baozhu is a person who is aware of current affairs. In the past, she has always stood by Zhou's side, but now she has come to flatter her since she woke up early in the morning. I fell asleep all of a sudden, please don't be surprised by my second brother and second sister-in-law."

Thinking about it carefully, Lu Baozhu is also pitiful. Her biological mother was originally a girl next to the Zhou family. She was taken to the capital as an insider, and only then did she see the wealth of the Hou Mansion, but Lu Tiecheng gave it to the half-old widower and mother-in-law in order to succeed in her post. Being a villain again, life is already difficult.I don't want my biological mother to die because of knowing about it, and my mother-in-law's family doesn't even want to face when they lose their power, so they want to rub their daughter-in-law to death.

It is impossible for Ning Wan to like her, but he can't hate her, let alone ignore her, so he asked directly: "What are your plans?"

Lu Baozhu has always regarded the short period of time she lived in the Hou Mansion as the most beautiful experience, thinking that she will never have it again in her life.But I stayed in Qiushuangzhai yesterday. Although it is only a wing room, the playthings and daily necessities inside are all exquisite and elegant. Although it is not as rich and noble as the Hou's mansion, it also has a unique style. She also knows the same. piled up with money.From this, I believed in my aunt's words even more, I must hold on to my second brother and second sister-in-law, and save my own life first!At this time, he made a pitiful face, hung his head and twisted the handkerchief and said: "I listen to the second brother and the second sister-in-law."

Ning Wan didn't like her appearance the most, so she raised her voice and said, "Sit down and talk."

Lu Baozhu hurriedly looked at the second brother, and saw that he was also frowning, and immediately put away all his small thoughts, sat down on the chair below and said, "I don't want to go back to Zhong's house anymore."

As soon as I said this, someone came to send a message, "Boss Zhong and Mrs. Zhong are here, Mrs. Wei, may I ask Mrs. Lu?"

Although they hid Mrs. Wei from those important matters related to the court, Ning Wan specially went over to say hello to Lu Baozhu's matter. After all, she lived in Luo's house, so she had to make it clear when she brought someone in.Now that someone from the Zhong family came to ask for an interview, they naturally had to go through Mrs. Wei.

Ning Wan smiled and said, "You can bring Mrs. Zhong directly to my side, and don't bother your wife."

Lu Baozhu was frightened, "Second brother, please don't send me back! Although he is in charge of the military selection department, in fact, the second brother's official position was appointed by the emperor. Unlike the elder brother, he dare not make things difficult. He told me personally when brother's appointment was made!" Then he turned his head and said, "I'd rather be a little girl beside my second sister-in-law than go back to Zhong's house." As he spoke, he knelt down.

Ning Wan glared at her, "Well, you are also Tie Shi's own sister, can we ignore it? You stand up and talk properly!"

Tie Shi also got up and said: "Your second sister-in-law is right, you stand up straight! I'll go meet Mr. Zhong."

After a while, Mrs. Zhong entered Qiu Shuangzhai.Since Baozhu didn't plan to go back to Zhong's house, Ning Wan was about to tear herself apart, so she didn't even greet her, and just sat still in the room.Lu Baozhu hurriedly stood behind her, indeed a bit like a little girl.

Mrs. Zhong was a little embarrassed when she came in. According to the current situation, she is an elder according to her seniority, but according to her status, Mrs. Lu is a third-rank imperial order several levels higher than herself. How should I greet her?After thinking about it, he smiled and said to Lu Baozhu: "Daughter-in-law, you are really ignorant. Why didn't your second elder brother and second sister-in-law tell the family when they came to the capital? We should invite our in-laws to sit at home."

It is true that Lu Baozhu never told her husband's family that she had a second elder brother. She followed her mother-in-law and aunt into the capital just like them and never mentioned people from Liaodong. The Zhong family treated her decently in the face of the Xiangwuhou Mansion.Later, the situation changed, and when she knew that she could only ask her second brother for help, she didn't dare to say a word, for fear that she would not be able to escape if she was discovered.Now that she was asked about her head, she lowered her head and said, "I will follow my second brother and second sister-in-law from now on."

"If you are not married, obey your father, and if you get married, obey your husband." Mrs. Zhong said with a smile: "Since you are our daughter-in-law, you will naturally go back to Zhong's family."

Ning Wan looked at Mrs. Zhong's smiling face very disdainfully. No matter how bad Lu Baozhu was, she should only teach her that she rubbed her daughter-in-law because of the lack of dowry and her family's decline. Such a mother-in-law is really vicious.Seeing that Lu Baozhu still didn't dare to say what was in his heart, he asked directly: "Did you hit Baozhu's wound?"

"Well, well," Mrs. Zhong couldn't deny that she really hit Lu Baozhu, "it's just that she did something wrong, so I just hit her a little bit, and it didn't matter."

Since such a thing really happened, Ning Wan also saw off the guests, "Then if that's the case, Mrs. Zhong, please come back! Our younger sister is not rubbed by others!"

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhong turned her face immediately, "Mrs. Lu, you are probably used to domineering and domineering in Anpingwei! The sky is high there and the emperor is far away, and you can do whatever you want! Now this is the capital! What is a foreign commander?" At this time, there are a group of random shouts all over the streets, all of whom have come to the capital to run for officials! Not to mention that my son is in charge of the military selection department, even the gatekeeper in front of the military department has three points of respect! You If you dare to snatch our daughter-in-law away, you will be sued to the imperial court tomorrow so that you can't afford it!"

The capital city is good, but many people in the capital city always have a sense of arrogance towards those who come from outside. Ning Wan felt it yesterday at the military department member Wai Lang's family banquet, and now Mrs. Zhong has spoken directly, very arrogantly .After hearing her yelling, Ning Wan sneered dismissively and said, "In this case, you can go and sue, I will wait for you in front of the imperial court!"

Mrs. Zhong saw that Mrs. Lu was not frightened for a moment, so she said bitterly to Lu Baozhu: "If you don't follow me back now, you will never enter Zhong's house again!" She shook her hands and wanted to leave, "Since you insist Do everything right, and we'll write a letter of divorce and send it back!"

Ning Wan stood up and said more forcefully: "First, I want to leave the book, and second, I want to send back the dowry intact, even without a single needle!"

Mrs. Zhong turned her head and said angrily: "You are really dreaming!"

Ning Wan was also tit-for-tat, "If the Zhong family doesn't do one thing as I say, then just wait and see!"

Mrs. Zhong didn't give in, she turned around and wanted to quarrel again, when she suddenly saw a woman from Zhong's family running in, "Old lady, it's not good, there are rumors that Mrs. Lu beat our lord!" She was startled and hurried to leave , but also threw a sentence, "Dare to beat the court order, and wait for the lawsuit tomorrow!"

Ning Wan hurriedly replied, "The mother-in-law beat the daughter-in-law and injured her, you have to go to jail!" Seeing Tie Shi striding back, she stepped forward and asked, "Did you beat Mr. Zhong?"

"It's just a small punishment. If it weren't for the officials of the Ministry of War to drive to the hunting grounds, I would let him lie on the bed for a few days!"

"Okay! I don't like this kind of family. I don't dare to bully others. I can only rub my daughter-in-law!"

Both of them felt very relieved, but Lu Baozhu asked timidly: "Then what if the Zhong family really wants to sue the yamen?"

Ning Wan snorted, "Does he dare to sue? The Zhong family beat you, what's wrong with your second brother beating someone with the surname Zhong? Even if we sue the emperor, we are justified!"

Ever since Lu Baozhu married into Zhong's family, no matter whether it was her mother-in-law, aunt or eldest brother, she was persuaded to be patient. She had to find a way to please her mother-in-law and husband, and her life would be easier when the daughter-in-law became a mother-in-law.The second sister-in-law didn't want to be angry, so she quarreled with her mother-in-law, which made Lu Baozhu worry, "Then what will happen in the future?"

"Didn't you say you won't go back to Zhong's house?" Ning Wan asked, "We're going back to Liaodong in a few days. Do you want to go back with us or stay in the capital? Do you want to remarry or live on your own? Your second brother and I are good friends." You do something."

Lu Baozhu was stopped by the question, "I don't know either."

"It's still some time before we leave, so go back and think about it slowly." Ning Wan asked Sheng'er to bring her two bolts of clothes and some money, "You can make two clothes first, and the money is for your pocket money. If there is anything missing on weekdays, just tell me."

After all, the father-in-law gave birth to Tie Shi, not to mention his last words instructing Tie Shi to take care of his younger siblings, even if he didn't order, could it be that Tie Shi and himself can still ignore these younger siblings?Tie Shi has no relationship with these half-brothers and sisters anymore, but as the eldest brother, he has to support them. It is impossible to live a rich life, but they must be fed and clothed. Get warm so you won't be bullied.

After sending Lu Baozhu away, Ning Wan let out a long sigh of relief, "I quarreled with the old lady of the Zhong family, and I feel much more at ease!"

Unexpectedly, Tie Shi also moved his wrist and said: "Mr. Zhong is not too forbidden to hit, although I haven't vented all the anger in my heart, but I still feel happy!"

Ever since they guessed about the royal family's secret, they all had a fire in their hearts, and now they let it out through the Zhong family.Ning Wan smiled and said, "From now on, let's put down other things first, and let's focus on hunting!"
