Chapter 656 Contest ([-])

Ah Qin disappeared, and in the heavily guarded governor's mansion, no one was alive or dead.

Wu Wuniang said: "Aqin said that her aunt was sick, and she wanted to go home to see her. My concubine sympathized with her filial piety, so I gave her permission, and rewarded her with ten pennies, so that she could ask her aunt for medical treatment." Asking about medicine, oh, who knows, she, she went, actually—”

Before the words were finished, the tears flowed first, but she didn't know whether she was crying about Aqin's disappearance, or she was crying that she lost a caring little maid.

What's more, the meaning in her words hinted somewhat that Aqin was definitely not a spy sent by Biejia's mansion, but just an ordinary little maid who was a bit greedy. This time she disappeared, it is very likely that she fled with money.

Cui Youbo didn't believe a word.

But whether he believed it or not, the 'fact' was like this, people just disappeared without a sound.

The concierge and the woman who guarded the corner gate said: "Aqin went out in the morning, but she came back after lunch. After she came back, I never saw her go out of the house again."

"That means she hasn't left the house?"

Compared to Wu Wuniang, Cui Youbo believed in the servants of the Cui family more.

He was sitting alone in the study room, with a volume of books spread out in front of him, but his eyes did not stay on the pages of the book, but fixedly looked out of the window.

Ah Da stood with his body bowed, and said in a low voice: "That's right, my subordinates not only asked the women and porters at each corner gate, but also specifically asked the guards who secretly guarded the inner courtyard, but they didn't see Aqin leaving the courtyard. "

"...Is that so?"

Cui Youbo propped his hands behind his back, raised his head slowly, sighed, and said, "I remember that there are two wells in the inner courtyard, one is near the kitchen, and the other is in the small courtyard behind the main hall. Send someone to look at the small courtyard. Bar."

His voice was unhurried, but it sounded like thunder in Ah Da's ears, and he couldn't help being slightly startled: "Your Majesty means——"

Cui Youbo nodded, "Go and have a look... I hope I'm not as expected."

It's a pity that God didn't hear Cui Youbo's heartfelt voice. An hour later, Ah Da hurried back and reported: "I found Ah Qin!" in the well.

People are too dead to be dead.

Cui Youbo sat quietly on the couch, not at all surprised by this result, he suddenly asked: "By the way, did you ever attract the attention of others when you went to the small courtyard?"

Ah Da shook his head, "Your Majesty said that he wanted to inspect it privately, so his subordinates didn't dare to say anything. Besides, the small courtyard is close to the stables, except for a few rough envoys, few people go there on weekdays." It's not a place where people come and go. , naturally no one will notice.

Cui Youbo showed a mocking smile, and murmured: "Yes, Ah Qin died in a deserted small courtyard that few people go to."

what does this mean?It means that Ah Qin definitely didn't fall into the well accidentally, but was pushed into it.

As for who did it, you guessed it!
Cui Youbo knew that Wu Wuniang's appearance was a conspiracy, but he couldn't think too badly of her.

After all, he had such a beautiful past with Wu Wuniang. In that memory, Wu Wuniang was a gentle, courteous, versatile and famous Shuyuan, who was a man's ideal candidate for a good wife.

At that time, Uncle Cui's relationship was in a period of emptiness: A Jin was expelled, Xiao Nan was lukewarm to him, the concubines were under the strict supervision of the mistress, and no one dared to show their heads. In the huge house, No one spoke to him intimately.

Of course, at that time he was still 'innocent', and if someone said a few thoughtful words to him, he would make someone his confidant.

He had thought more than once that it would be a wonderful thing to have a confidante like a cousin of the Wu family.

Later, Wu Wuniang was taken back by her family, and Cui Youbo was really lost for a while after learning about it.

Immediately after Mrs. Bai appeared, his attention was diverted, and he gradually forgot about Mrs. Wu.

But deep in his heart, there is always a small corner that clearly records the good times he had with Wu.

Ten years later, the two met again. Although Cui Youbo was on guard, he did not regard Wu as a vicious woman who was ruthless and scheming.

Subconsciously, he always felt that the Wu family was just a weak woman, and if she did anything, she would be coerced.

As the relationship between the two became closer, Wu Wuniang's true temperament was also exposed to Cui Youbo little by little.

The beautiful shadow in the memory merged with the capable woman in reality, and Cui Youbo discovered that some things and some people, under the tempering of the years, have completely lost the beauty of the past.And all the romance and beauty in his heart have all turned into clouds and smoke.

Especially at this moment, when he thought that Ah Qin was silenced by the Wu family, he shuddered for a while.

This woman is too cruel!
Also being his pillow person, Xiao Nan seems to be very strong, and acts quite forcefully, but she is not cruel, and there is always a thread in her heart.

Just like the Sun Ling brothers and sisters back then, Xiao Nan had seen through their conspiracy long ago, and had collected all the evidence, but she didn't kill them directly, and even 'reminded' Sun Ling more than once to give them a chance.

It is very benevolent of a woman to act like this, but Cui Youbo prefers such a soft-hearted, bottom-line, and humane wife.

But Cui Youbo couldn't stand a strong and decisive woman like Wu Shi.

Since he has no blessing to enjoy, he should follow the plan.

Sighing silently, as if saying goodbye to the "beautiful past" in his heart, Cui Youbo restrained his mind, and ordered: "You immediately spread the news that Aqin drowned in the well, remember, there must be a big fanfare. "

"Yes!" Adaliso replied.

Cui Youbo continued: "Besides, if you 'tell' the people in Biejia Mansion again, say that the governor loves Aunt Wu very much, and cannot bear her suffering in the northwest, so he deliberately sent her back to the capital."

Ah Da paused, and thought to himself: Aren't you talking about Ah Qin, why did you jump on Aunt Wu all of a sudden?Could it be that Aunt Wu really did this, Mr. Lang is called 'send back to Beijing to enjoy the blessing', but he is actually exiled.

Seeming to see through Ah Da's mind, Cui Youbo smiled slightly, and said: "You go and pick a dozen or so skilled and capable guards, and I will ask Cui Defang to personally escort her back to Beijing."

It is by no means exile, but to send people out of Shanzhou in a graceful manner. He wants to tell Guo Jizu with practical actions that he loves Wu family very much. In order to ensure her safety, he will not hesitate to recruit capable people from his own guards to protect her. .

At the same time, the news of Ah Qin's accidental death came back to Biejia Mansion. What do you think Guo Jizu would think?
……

"The old man must have thought that I betrayed him and killed Aqin. In order to prevent him from retaliating against me, Mr. Wang..."

Wu Wuniang was very clever. After hearing two pieces of news, she guessed Cui Youbo's intention after thinking about it for a while.

Being calculated by the person next to her pillow, it would be a lie to say that she is not sad. After a short period of sadness, Wu Wuniang immediately cheered up and began to re-examine Cui Youbo's decision with rational eyes.

After thinking about it for a while, she found that for now, letting her go back to Beijing to temporarily avoid the limelight is really a good idea.

First, this can avoid Guo Jizu's revenge.

Wu Wuniang has lived in Guo's house for these days. Whether she heard it or saw it with her own eyes, she also has a certain understanding of Guo's behavior.

Guo Jizu can even do such things as forcing Liang to be a bandit and luring Zhechong's soldiers to become bandits, so what else is he afraid to do?

Wu Wuniang has calculated so much, not for people to assassinate her, she wants to enjoy the glory and live a rich life.

Leaving Huangshui, escaping from Guo Jizu's sphere of influence, and returning to the base camp of Cui's family is the most suitable choice for her.

In addition, Wu Wuniang found out that she and Cui Youbo were scheming against each other. Although some things were not made clear, the two of them knew the truth well.

Instead, it's better for her to stay far away and give each other a calm time. After this matter subsides, she will find a way to return to Cui Youbo's side and work hard to manage the relationship between the two of them.

Second, Wu Wuniang wanted to go back herself.

Compared with the desolate and backward northwest, she misses the capital city full of flowers and brocades. There, how rich and extravagant is it, with fresh clothes, angry horses and orchids like flowers?How unrestrained and free and easy?

After several years away from Beijing, Wu Wuniang dreamed of going back to Chang'an more than once at midnight, hunting in the original land, enjoying the spring in the apricot garden, and the banquet in Qujiang... Scenes of familiar and unfamiliar scenes flashed like scrolls in her dreams.

She really wanted to go back to the capital even in her dreams.

Especially now, she has become the noble concubine of the Boling Cui family's head lord, her status is second only to the head mistress, even the mistress, she can't be abused or abused arbitrarily, as long as she gives birth to a young man, even her natal family will not Dare to ignore her as a married woman again.

Except for the bad name, everything else is a hundred times, a thousand times better than her past life.

When she returned to Beijing this time, she even felt a little like returning home.

It's not that she succeeds as a villain, but that she discusses the matter on a case-by-case basis. Now that her husband is less than [-] years old, he is already a third-rank feudal official, a confidant of a saint, and his future is even more limitless.

On the other hand, her natal family, needless to say her father and brother, have been a small official in Beijing.

As for her brothers-in-law and brother-in-law, the one who did the best job was just a sixth-rank official, and she was still a decoration with no real power.

It can be said that among the sisters of the same generation, her husband has the highest rank, and in the next ten or twenty years, she is very likely to become the prime minister and take charge of the center.

With a capable husband like Uncle Cui and such a distinguished family as the Cui family, it would be unreasonable for Wu Wuniang not to want to show off.

Capital, she has decided!
As for the various problems that will be encountered after returning to Beijing, such as getting along with the big woman and the relationship with other concubines, Wu Wuniang doesn't take it to heart at all.

To be honest, she really looked down on Xiao Nan, who obviously had such a good background, and parents who loved her so much, after marrying Cui Youbo, she could still live like that, tsk tsk, really stupid, isn't it?
Although Xiao Shi's performance has been getting better and better in recent years, Wu Wuniang feels that if she were Xiao Shi, she would definitely do better than Xiao Shi.

At least, in the backyard under her control, there will never be a concubine, a concubine, or a sick concubine.

The carriage slowly drove to the gate of Rongshou Hall. Wu Wuniang gently raised the curtains of the carriage, looked at the magnificent courtyard, and swore secretly: This time, I will never let anyone drive me out again. It's home for me and my kids...
