Chapter 308 Calculation

Qin Zhen threw the reins to his servants and ran a few steps to catch up with Lu Dingkun.

At the gate of Wuliu Hall, Lu Dingkun said: "Wait at the gate of the courtyard and don't let anyone in."

Qin Zhen immediately stopped, leaned over and said, "Yes, I understand."

As soon as Lu Dingkun returned to the British government, Wenyuan Pavilion and Rongan Hall received the letter.

When the concierge delivered the letter, Ying Zhengzheng explained to Du Bin that he was going to prepare the ancestral genealogy for Lu Zilan and Lu Zixi.

After hearing the report from the porter, the British Duke frowned and asked, "You said the prince came back alone? Didn't Mr. Ye come back with him?"

The porter leaned forward and said, "My lord, the prince came back alone, with a small wooden box in his hand. After he came back, he went straight to Wuliu Hall."

Wuliu Hall is Lu Dingkun’s courtyard in the outer courtyard.

The British Duke waved his hand and said: "I understand, you can go down."

 The concierge retreated.

   The British Duke said to Du Bin: "Why don't you go to Wuliu Hall and see what's going on?"

 Du Bin nodded in agreement, "Yes, I understand."

  After Du Bin left, the British father walked around in circles in the room.

 Lü Dingkun did not bring Ye back, which made him very uneasy.

The British Master had only made a few turns when Du Bin came back.

 The British Duke stopped, looked at Du Bin and asked, "What's going on?"

Du Bin leaned forward and said, "When the prince came back, he entered the Wuliu Hall and asked Qin Zhen to guard the entrance of the courtyard. No one was allowed in."

The British Duke asked: "Did you ask Qin Zhen? What happened? Why didn't Ye come back?"

Du Bin replied: "I asked, and Qin Zhen said that after the prince went to Chengguo Palace, he went straight to the backyard to see Mrs. Qin.

Qin Zhen could not follow into the backyard of Duke Chengguo's mansion.

Qin Zhen said that the prince sat in the backyard for a short time, then came out of the backyard and went to the Purple Bamboo Garden in the outer courtyard with King Qin.

He wanted to follow him to serve him, but he was sent away by Ruxuan who was beside King Qin. Therefore, Qin Zhen didn't know what happened. "

The British Duke turned to look at the hourglass on the chest of drawers and said, "Dingkun came out of the palace, came back, had a face-to-face meeting, and then went to the Chengguo Palace.

 According to Qin Zhen’s statement, Dingkun hadn’t eaten yet. Ask Wang and Zilan Zixi to bring some food to Dingkun. "

Du Bin understood and came over, bowed and said: "Okay, I'll do it now."

After Du Bin turned around and left, the British father-in-law walked to the window and stood there, looking at the gray sky through the window. There were many things going wrong this year, and he had to go to the temple to burn incense another day.

 In Rong'an Hall, Mrs. Yang is sitting at the top, and Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li are sitting at the bottom.

After hearing the servant's report, Mrs. Yang asked, "You said that traitor didn't bring Bitch Ye back?"

The concierge replied: "Back to the old lady, the prince came back on horseback. Only the prince's attendant Qin Zhen followed, and the eldest lady did not follow him."

Mrs. Yang sarcastically said: "It's rare for the worthless **** Ye to be valuable once. I want to see how long she can be arrogant this time. It's best to keep being valuable and don't let me look down on her."

Second Grandma Li looked at Mrs. Li without knowing why, and asked curiously: "Mom, what does grandma mean by valuable? The eldest uncle is the eldest lady of Chengguo Palace, why is it not valuable?"

Li laughed and said, "Don't look at Mr. Ye, who always looks aloof and arrogant.

That's because the prince is not around. As long as he is around, her eyes seem to be on him. Wherever the prince goes, her eyes will follow him. His eyes are so scorching that no one else can see him. Good riddance.

 Speaking of which, Mrs. Ye is also a lady, but she doesn't look like a lady. She is not reserved at all.

  It is unbearable to look at and looks worthless. Word spread that it was worthless. "

Second Grandma Li’s eyes widened when she heard this, and she said, “Oh my God, this is too bold. Didn’t Mrs. Qin teach her?”

Mrs. Yang snorted coldly: "Teaching? This is a family tradition of Duke Chengguo."

Second Grandma Li seemed to have discovered a shocking secret, and asked with a gossipy face: "Family history? Is Mrs. Qin like this too?"

Mrs. Yang laughed and said: "Back then, when Qin Yu saw Ye Yun like this, he wanted to stick to Ye Yun, and his actions were so bold that it was unimaginable.

 The elders of many families in the capital did not allow their daughters to play with Qin Yu.

After Qin Yu married Ye Yun, she gave birth to two daughters, each of whom was exactly like her.

The criminals chase a man, and they are fascinated by the virgin. The little one seduced the King of Qin, who is now the emperor. "

Second Grandma Yang's heart was beating loudly when she heard this, and her eyes were filled with envy.

When Mrs. Yang saw it, she immediately lowered her face and said unhappily: "It's all in the past, why do you still mention it?"

Mrs. Li Er seconded: "It's been a long time ago, so it's okay not to mention it. Mother, if Mrs. Ye doesn't come back, what will happen to the woman brought back by the prince?"

Mrs. Yang said: "Cool, this matter has nothing to do with us, so don't worry about it."

Mrs. Li nodded and said: "My mother is right. My sister-in-law is the prince's wife and the prince's official wife. If the prince takes a concubine, the prince's wife should take care of it. If the prince's wife doesn't come back, this matter will naturally be delayed."

Second Grandma Li said: "I heard that the woman is the daughter of the county magistrate. You said she is the daughter of the county magistrate. Why would she be willing to be a concubine?"

Mrs. Li snorted and said: "A daughter of a magistrate from a small border county can climb to the heights of the British prince's family, and she is not bad at being a concubine.

This woman can climb into the prince's bed and give birth to a son and a daughter. It is not easy. When she entered the door, the main room was wonderful. "

Second Grandma Li said with a smile: "The eldest uncle has no children, and the reputation of the Crown Prince's wife may be lost sooner or later."

Mrs. Li looked at Mrs. Yang, "Mother, if Mr. Ye doesn't come back, is she trying to intimidate Mr. Wang?"

Mrs. Yang thought for a while and said, "It's possible."

Second Grandma Li said: "If this is the case, should we help the Wang family? I really want to see the Wang family fight with the eldest uncle, a famous lady from the capital fighting with a talented girl from the border, or a head-on battle between a general's wife and his concubine. How interesting it would be. "

Mrs. Yang laughed and scolded: "You girl, I'm afraid the world will not be in chaos."

Second Grandma Li said coquettishly: "Grandma, don't you expect it? If we fight, it will definitely be better than a drama."

Mrs. Yang's interest was aroused, she nodded with a smile and said: "Expectation is expectation. Let's wait and see from the other side first, don't rush to the end."

Mrs. Li Er nodded and said: "Mother is right, let's watch first and don't end up. Ye had better hold on tight and don't let us down."

“Why? Wouldn’t it be more lively when the uncle comes back and comes face to face with Mrs. Wang?”

Mrs. Li Er said: "What's the excitement about? You are just watching the excitement. What good will it do to us if the two little ones are included in the ancestral genealogy?"

 What if the Ye family has a fight with the Wang family and records the Wang family's son in her name? It's not good for us at all.

 You have to know that since the Ye family cannot have children, the prince will not have a legitimate son. Son, do you understand? "

Second Grandma Li asked blankly: "What good can a legitimate son do?"

Mrs. Yang replied, "In the British government, only the legitimate son can inherit the property. With Ye's character, it is very possible for him to do so."

Mrs. Yang first replied to Mrs. Li’s words, and then continued what Mrs. Li said.

Mrs. Li said: "So, Ye's attitude is very important."

Mrs. Yang nodded as she spoke, having an idea in her mind. Said: "Okay, let's talk about it here. Let's wait and see for a few days before making a decision. I'm tired and want to take a rest. You can step back."

 Mrs. Li Er and Grandma Li stood up and said goodbye to Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang waited for Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to retreat, and said to Grandma Wang: "This time, let's use Wang's help to get rid of Ye and those two children."

Grandma Wang thought for a while and said, "The old lady has a good idea. This is indeed a good opportunity."

Mrs. Yang said: "Watch it first, the days are long, there is no rush in this matter, wait until that **** Ye comes back, and then we will look for opportunities to take our time."

Grandma Wang leaned forward and said, "Yes, I understand."

Xueer came in and said, "Old madam, Mrs. Wang has taken the Seventh Master and the Third Miss to Wuliu Hall."

“You are in a panic, where did the seventh master come from, and where did the third young lady come from?” Grandma Wang looked at Mrs. Yang, whose face suddenly darkened, and turned around to scold her.

Xueer glanced at Mrs. Yang and immediately lowered her head.

 “I’m sorry, I know I was wrong. Please punish me, madam.”

Mrs. Yang asked with a straight face: "That woman went to Wuliu Hall?"

Xueer leaned forward and said, "Yes, the person in charge of Du brought the food box to Wang's residence and handed the food box to Wang. Soon, Wang took the two children to Wuliu Hall."

"Oh? What are you planning, old man?" Mrs. Yang straightened her back after listening to Xue'er's report. "It's interesting. Let people keep an eye on the Wang family and Wu Liu Tang."

Xueer stood and moved.

Grandma Wang said: "Girl, didn't you hear the old lady's instructions?"

Xueer hurriedly bowed and responded, "Yes, I understand."

 Xueer retreated.

Mrs. Yang glanced at the door and said, "Xue'er is young after all, and her work is unreliable. Go ahead and give them a few words to let them know what's going on."

Grandma Wang bent her knees and said, "Okay, old slave, let's go now."

At Wuliutang, Mrs. Wang, her son and one daughter were carrying food boxes, but Qin Zhen stopped them at the entrance of the courtyard.

Wang Shifushen said: "Deputy Envoy Qin, I will bring Zi Lan Zixi to bring lunch to the Crown Prince. I also ask Deputy Envoy Qin to be accommodating."

Qin Zhen said in embarrassment: "Aunt Wang, it's not that I'm unreasonable. The prince has ordered that no one be allowed in, and I can't help it."

Wang held the food box and tiptoed to look into the yard. Her eyes were full of anxiety and she said, "It's already noon. The prince hasn't eaten yet. Even a tough man has to eat."

Qin Zhen was also hungry, so he said, "Why don't you, Aunt Wang, please wait here while I go in and report the matter to see what the prince says? What do you think?"

Wang nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, Deputy Qin. Thank you for your work."

Qin Zhen turned around and entered the courtyard, went straight to the study, and knocked on the door.

 A voice of reproach came from the room, "Didn't I tell you that I don't want anyone to disturb me?"

Qin Zhen said: "Your Majesty, Aunt Wang has brought Mr. Lan and Miss Zixi to deliver lunch to the Prince. Please come in and let me know."

When Lu Dingkun heard that it was the Wang family who brought his children to bring him lunch, his anger dissipated a lot, and his voice lowered and he said: "Tell them that I am not hungry anymore and let them go back. When I finish my work these days, Go see them again.”

Qin Zhen bowed his head and said, "Yes, I understand."

Qin Zhen turned around and went out. He walked to the door of the courtyard and shook his head at Mrs. Wang and said, "The prince said he was not hungry and asked Aunt Wang to go back. The prince also said that he would come to see you after he has finished his work for the past few days."

Zi Xi took the food box from Wang's hand and said to Qin Zhen, "Uncle Qin, my aunt and brother are waiting at the door. Can you let me bring the food in to my father?"

Qin Zhen wanted to dissuade him.

Lu Zixi spoke first: "Uncle Qin, I promise that I will only deliver the food to the door and never disturb dad. Uncle Qin, I beg you, okay?"

Qin Zhen couldn't resist Lu Zixi's coquettish behavior and nodded in agreement, "Okay, Uncle Qin will follow you."

With that said, Qin Zhen took the food box from Lu Zixi's hand, "Let's go, I'll carry it."

Qin Zhen took Lu Zixi into the courtyard and walked along the corridor. When he was approaching the study, Qin Zhen handed the food box to Zi Xi and said, "Miss Zixi, the prince is in that room. You go over there." Bar."

Lu Zixi nodded and struggled to carry the food box to the room Qin Zhen pointed to.

Go to the door, put the food box on the ground, reach out and knock on the door.

Lu Dingkun was about to get angry when he heard a soft voice coming in, "Dad, this is Xi'er. Xi'er has put the food at the door for Dad. Dad must remember to eat it. Xi'er doesn't disturb Dad. "Dad, Xi'er is back."

Lu Dingkun responded warmly: "Okay, thank you Xi'er, dad will eat it later."

After receiving Lu Dingkun's answer, Lu Zixi happily waved her hands and left.

After Lu Zixi left, Lu Dingkun put the objects spread out in front of him back into the box one by one, then closed the box, picked it up and put it in the secret compartment on the bookshelf.

 Subsequently, Lu Dingkun opened the door, carried the food box at the door into the room, sat down and started eating.

Lu Zixi, who was hiding behind a willow tree far away, saw Lu Dingkun carrying the food box into the house and smiled at Qin Zhen, who was not far away.

Qin Zhen smiled and gave her a thumbs up.

The reason why Qin Zhen agreed to Lu Zixi's delivery of food boxes was because he knew that the twins had an extraordinary status in Lu Dingkun's heart, so he dared to let her in.

 Lv Dingkun didn't have much fondness for Wang Shuang, but he really liked these two children.

Wang Shuang's father, Wang Yichun, had mediocre qualifications and no connections in the officialdom. He served as county magistrate for three consecutive terms in Qi County and had no chance of promotion.

Hence, he set his sights on Lu Dingkun and often invited Lu Dingkun to his house for drinks and meals.

Once, Magistrate Wang tampered with Lu Dingkun's wine and sent him to his daughter's boudoir.

After Lu Dingkun sobered up, he knew that he had fallen into Wang Zhixian's trap and was being plotted against, so naturally he was not happy.

But thinking that he was just bringing a woman into the house, Lu Dingkun lost his temper and dismissed the matter without taking it to heart.

Before the banquet was over, Wang Shuang was carried back in a small sedan chair. The next year, Wang Shuang gave birth to twins for him.

 Because these children were by his side and he watched them grow up, his affection for them was somewhat deeper than that of other children before him.
