imperial concubine

Chapter 87 The Unexpected Incident
When Su Wan sneaked out from the back door of the Hou's Mansion, the two maids who had been watching the movement at the back door of the Hou's Mansion also came out from behind the flower tree on one side, looked at the small door that was just closed, and looked at each other. One went out directly and followed Su Wan, and the other turned around and walked towards the Da Furen's courtyard.

The eldest lady was drinking tea in the house, when she heard the news from the two, she hurriedly let them in, and then asked directly: "You two can see clearly, is that person really the second young lady?"

When Su Wan sneaked out last time, a maid reported to the eldest lady, but the eldest lady didn't know what Su Wan was going to do in disguise as a man, so she didn't do anything. She just ordered the servants to keep an eye on the back door. Come to tell yourself.

The maid kneeling in front of the eldest lady nodded and said: "Yes madam, it must be the second young lady. According to your previous instructions, Ji Xiang has already followed."

Hearing the lady nod here, Ji Xiang followed Su Wan to Qi Ruobing's small courtyard last time, if she hadn't always been on good terms with Mrs. Fang, she might have thought that Mrs. Fang was suspicious of her.

Therefore, this time the eldest lady specifically told Ji Xiang that if she saw Su Wan enter that small courtyard again, she would come back and report to herself immediately.The Da Furen has vaguely guessed something, but the fact is too shocking, Da Furen has not been able to believe it.

After waiting for a full hour, Ji Xiang came back from the outside.Regardless of Ji Xiangxiang, the eldest lady did not catch her breath, and hurriedly asked: "Have you ever seen what the second young miss is doing?"

This is an excellent opportunity. If you can seize this opportunity, you don't need to plot against Su Wan behind your back, and you can put Su Wan to death directly with aboveboard methods!That's why the lady is so anxious.

Ji Xiang took a hard breath, and panting heavily, she said to the eldest lady: "Madam, I saw that the second lady went directly to a small courtyard after going out. Half an hour later, a carriage came, besides There is no one else."

Looking at Ji Xiang's flickering eyes, the eldest lady knew that Ji Xiang didn't say all the words.Ji Xiang is his personal maid, and has always been loyal to him, so it must be an extremely important thing for her to dare not speak out in front of him!

Thinking of this, the eldest lady said to the maid serving in the room: "It's okay here. You go down first! I didn't ask you to come in, so none of you are allowed to come in, and those who violate the family law will be dealt with!"

All the maids in the room should be, and then retreated out of the room very politely. The last maid who went out even closed the door tightly.After serving in the Hou's mansion for many years, these maids naturally knew that what happened next was not something they could hear.

Seeing that there was no one else present in the room except the two of them, the eldest lady hurriedly asked: "Ji Xiang, whose carriage is that carriage you saw? Who is the person getting on and off from the carriage?"

Although the eldest lady already had the answer in her heart, she was not sure.He just wanted Ji Xiang, who had seen that person with his own eyes, to tell him so that he could verify his judgment.

Ji Xiang said to the eldest lady: "Ma'am, there is a sign of the Prime Minister's Mansion on that car. Although I didn't see the face of the person who got off the car, he was wearing a purple court dress with a crane embroidered on it!"

The purple court clothes can only be worn by officials of the second rank and above in the court, and the cranes can only be embroidered on the clothes by the prime minister.Comparing the two, the answer is ready to come out, the person who entered the small courtyard after Su Wan was undoubtedly Fang Yuanli.

Hearing Ji Xiang's words confirmed the guess in her heart, the eldest lady showed a smile on her face, and then a stern look flashed in her eyes, Su Wan, this time you are looking for your own death!

Thinking about it, the eldest lady immediately ordered someone to prepare the car, and then rushed directly to the prime minister's mansion without even having time to change her clothes.I couldn't put Su Wan to death before, but now that Qi Ruobing is helping me, I want to see if you, Su Wan, can still turn the world upside down!
Arriving at the gate of the prime minister's mansion, the eldest lady drove straight in, and came directly to Qi Ruobing's door. After waiting for the maid to report, the eldest lady hurried into the house.

Qi Ruobing was embroidering in the house, and when she saw the eldest lady rushing in, wearing very ordinary homely clothes, she couldn't help feeling a little displeased, and asked with a frown, "I don't know what's the matter with Mrs. Mighty Marquis who is so anxious to see me?" thing?"

This mighty Mrs. Marquis is usually very polite, but she didn't know what happened today, she was so flustered, she even abandoned the most basic feminine appearance.

The lady's eyes were very sharp, and she could see Qi Ruobing's slight frown at a glance.I was very proud of myself, I didn't change into formal clothes on purpose, firstly, it seemed that I was very anxious, and secondly, it seemed that I was very close to Qi Ruobing.

Looking at Qi Ruobing who was embroidering leisurely in the room, the eldest lady hurriedly said: "Madam, I have something very important to tell you. Please move away from the left and right first."

Hearing Da Furen's words, Qi Ruobing frowned, thinking that Da Furen came again because of Su Lin's affairs, and was rather impatient.

However, although I thought so in my heart, I still had to give her some face.Thinking of this, Qi Ruobing dropped the things in his hands, and said to the maid beside him: "You all step back first! I have a few words of personal interest to Mrs. Mighty Marquis."

A kind of maid responded in unison, and then slowly retreated out of the room.Qi Ruobing stretched out his hand to pick up the tea at hand, looked at the eldest lady with a smile and said, "I wonder if there is something important that Madam would like to tell me?"

While sipping the tea, Qi Ruobing thought in his heart, if Mrs. Mighty Marquis came here for the matter of Su Lin this time, he might have to go to the Marquis's mansion in person.However, it shouldn't be. After all, Mrs. Mighty Marquis took away the princess's handwriting last time.

Seeing that everyone in the house had retreated, the eldest lady walked up to Qi Ruobing and said softly, "Madam, today I saw that girl Su Wan go out of the house disguised as a man."

Hearing Da Furen's words, Qi Ruobing couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.Before, I arranged for Mrs. Mighty Marquis to get rid of Su Wan, but there was never a suitable opportunity.But I didn't expect that Mrs. Mighty Marquis would even repay such a trivial matter to herself.

Just when he was about to speak, Qi Ruobing's thoughts changed sharply, and he suddenly thought, could it be that Mrs. Mighty Marquis wanted to take advantage of Su Wan's girl disguised as a man to find an opportunity to solve Su Wan outside the house?If so, it is a good strategy.

Thinking of this, Qi Ruobing said, "Then have you ever sent someone to follow her? If she is alone, wouldn't this be a good opportunity to deal with her?"

Qi Ruobing had asked himself several times before to get rid of Su Wan, but there was never a suitable opportunity.Several designs were easily resolved by Su Wan.After that, the matter of designing Su Wan was shelved.

Unexpectedly, Qi Ruobing still remembered this matter, but he didn't come here for this matter this time.After thinking for a while, the eldest lady said: "Madam, today is not a good time to do it."

Hearing this, Qi Ruobing felt a little angry. Since it's not a good time, why are you coming to my house again?Could it be that he deliberately came to play with himself?

Thinking about it, Qi Ruobing glanced at the lady, and said with a sneer, "The lady is telling me, when is the right time? Since today is not a good time, why are you coming here to chew your tongue with me?"

Although Su Wan used to disapprove of Qi Ruobing before, but what a visionary Su Wan is, not to mention Qi Ruobing, most people in this world are not in her eyes.But in the eyes of the eldest lady, this is the wrath of the sky.

Seeing Qi Ruobing's cold words, the eldest lady smiled and said: "Ma'am, I wanted to do something today. Everyone has already followed Su Wan, but they saw that Su Wan entered a small courtyard, so they didn't dare to do anything, so I can only report to Madam know."

Hearing Da Furen's explanation, Qi Ruobing didn't do it, but said coldly: "Who is so powerful, who can scare the majestic and mighty Madam Hou into retreat without showing his face?"

Su Huaiyuan is also an important minister in the court now, although he can't be compared with Fang Yuanli, ordinary people dare not invite Huwei.Who can scare the mighty Mrs. Hou so much that she dare not do anything?Qi Ruobing couldn't help feeling interested.

The eldest lady looked around cautiously, and after confirming that there was no one there, she whispered to Qi Ruobing, "Su Wan entered today is the small courtyard where the lady lived back then."

Hearing Da Furen's words, Qi Ruobing froze on his seat.Just now, she had thought in her heart that it might belong to a certain prince or a certain royal family member, but she never expected that Su Wan entered her own house!
After Fang Yuanli poisoned Emperor Jing and the Empress back then, the current Holy Majesty named him Prime Minister.Afterwards, Fang Yuanli married himself into the mansion in eight sedan chairs and became the dignified wife of the prime minister before he finished clearing up the affairs of the court.

Although he moved into the Prime Minister's Mansion, the small courtyard in the past has carried too many sweet memories of himself and Fang Yuanli, so Qi Ruobing kept the small courtyard and sent someone to clean it from time to time.I never thought that Su Wan would enter her place today!
After recovering from his senses, Qi Ruobing was furious, stretched out his hand and slapped the table hard, and said sharply: "What a brave little thief, dare to sneak into my house and see if I don't take her head off!"

As he said that, he ordered his servants to prepare chariots and horses to capture Su Wan back.If Qi Ruobing caught Su Wan in the small courtyard, even if Su Wan didn't die, he would definitely be ruined for the rest of his life.

Fortunately, the eldest lady stopped Qi Ruobing who was in a rage, "Ma'am, listen to me. After Su Wan went in, someone else went in! And it was in the carriage of the prime minister's mansion!"

Hearing Da Furen's words, Qi Ruobing frowned and said, "Why? In the prime minister's mansion, there is a sign on the carriage of me and the master. My carriage has never been used at home. The master took the carriage to court early this morning. The people under your command Are you dazzled?"

The eldest lady shook her head and said: "Madam, to tell you the truth, the person who followed Su Wan today not only saw Su Wan, but also saw a man go into the small courtyard. The man reported back and said."

Seeing the faltering look of the eldest lady, the anger that had just subsided in Qi Ruobing's heart suddenly surged up again, and said sharply: "What did you say? Don't be hesitant! If you have something to say, just say it!"

Hearing Qi Ruobing's words, the eldest lady said to Qi Ruobing: "The man said that he saw the person who got off the car wearing a purple court dress with a crane embroidered on it!"

When Qi Ruobing, who was originally furious, heard Da Furen's words, it was as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on his head. His original anger was instantly extinguished, he staggered a few steps back, and sat down on the stool behind him.
