As soon as he arrived at Xingfangju, Tang Zhengrong could not find Aunt Liu, Chunqin and Muxian.
I still had to pull a little maid, and I realized something was wrong from the flustered expression on the girl's face.
"What's wrong?"
"Hurry up and tell me where Aunt Liu is?"
The little maid's expression gave Tang Zhengrong a bad feeling in his heart, and he felt a little cold just by looking at her.
"Ms. Liu is in the Duke's courtyard. All the ladies are here. It seems there is something important."
"Okay, I understand, you can go."
When Tang Zhengrong saw this, he probably couldn't ask anything else. If the other ladies were here, he wouldn't have asked Aunt Liu. The other party was in such a panic. I'm afraid there was some trouble with Aunt Liu.
Thinking of this, Tang Zhengrong's steps became much faster.
As soon as they arrived at the place, they saw that the Duke of Guo had a dark face, and Aunt Liu was kneeling on the ground, trembling. The second lady standing on one side had only contempt in her eyes, while the eldest lady stood next to the Duke of Guo.
A situation in which the deputy is aloof and has nothing to do with himself.
"Father, what is this?"
"My daughter went out for something before, but she didn't know anything when she came back. Did the mother do something wrong?"
Tang Guogong had high hopes for himself and was in contact with the Ge family. If any of the ladies here had the intention of harming Aunt Liu, as long as it was not a serious matter, Tang Guogong would not be too harsh.
punish.
But now that I look at it like this, the situation seems to be very different from what I thought.
"The secret letter His Majesty personally gave me actually arrived at your mother's house. This is because of the presence of many layers of guards."
"If it weren't for the second lady's report, I wouldn't be aware of this matter at all."
Second lady?
Tang Zhengrong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the other party. However, the second lady also had a strong hatred for Tang Zhengrong. She didn't seem to have any guilty conscience at all. But Tang Zhengrong knew very well that Aunt Liu was not a high-status person in the first place.
people.
Now this is to increase the suspicion of Aunt Liu as a spy, and to make Aunt Liu lose the favor of the Duke.
The second lady is capable of doing such a thing.
But the words are empty, even if he said it directly, the Duke of Guo would not do anything if he was angry.
"Father, there are many doubts about this matter. If mother was a spy, she should have taken action in the palace long ago. After all, she can now come and go freely and do these things in the palace. Seeing that the back house has never been stable, wouldn't it cause trouble for herself?
"
"Besides, if the second lady can find it, then the eldest lady should also understand."
This matter definitely had something to do with the eldest lady. Tang Zhengrong had always seen the eldest lady's indifference towards him, and he knew that she was unwilling to help his mother in any way.
I felt a little disappointed in my heart. Originally, I helped the eldest lady because of Tang Yanzhi's face.
Despite all the short-term changes, it seems that they still can't change the desire in the eldest lady's heart. Neither of them wants to see their mother feel better.
"Zhengrong, my mother is not. Do you believe that my mother has never done these things?"
Mrs. Liu is now hard to tell, and she can feel the hostility of the second lady and the eldest lady towards her.
Under the instigation of these people from the Duke, it was difficult for her to stand up.
"Mother, I believe you."
Tang Zhengrong saw Aunt Liu looking heartbroken and knew that Aunt Liu's feelings for her father had changed again.
"Father, if you can't provide complete evidence to prove that my mother did it, then you shouldn't treat her like this."
"Tang Zhengrong! You!"
He didn't expect that Tang Zhengrong would contradict him in front of him.
After the second lady saw it, she couldn't help fanning the flames: "Look, this is what a young lady from the palace said?"
"I simply don't know who is the owner of the mansion."
Duke Tang, who was always concerned about his face, felt unhappy when he heard the second lady's words.
"From now on, Aunt Liu will go to live in Zhuangzi."
"As for the secret letter, I will investigate, but the suspicion cannot be completely eliminated."
After hearing what the Duke said, Aunt Liu replied calmly: "Yes, Master."
These words were said lightly, but when the Duke heard them, he still felt that his heart was not so happy. Why couldn't Aunt Liu prove her innocence?
It's not because of him that it's like this now.
"Since my mother can't get rid of the suspicion, father, I will go live with my mother on Zhuangzi."
As soon as these words came out, the second lady smiled, but the eldest lady held back a little.
"Tang Zhengrong is the young lady in the mansion after all. Will it be bad if she goes out to live?"
"No."
Tang Zhengrong refused directly. How could the eldest lady have such a good heart? It was just that Tang Yanzhi still got along with him.
It would be even more inappropriate to say nothing.
"Okay, okay, you go with your mother."
Seeing Tang Zhengrong looking like he was about to leave, Tang Guogong was also simmering with anger. Originally, according to the eldest lady's words, he was still thinking of letting Tang Zhengrong stay. However, as Tang Zhengrong's father, he was also worried about it.
Her future marriage.
He didn't know how long he had been busy recently, but now Tang Zhengrong only had Aunt Liu in his eyes.
"Mother, let's go."
The people around her treated Aunt Liu with calculations and ridicule, but Tang Zhengrong would not pay attention to these people.
As for her father, there were many wives he cared about, and she couldn't stop them. Tang Guogong was good as a father during this period, but he was very unqualified as a husband.
Aunt Liu on the road still couldn't hold back her tears.
"Mom doesn't know why the secret letter is in Xingfangju."
"If I knew it clearly, I would definitely give it to the master directly. Fortunately, now, it's all implicated on you."
Chunqin on the side and Muxian who followed comforted him: "It was also our dereliction of duty."
Originally, there were only two of them living in Xingfang, and there were not many people living there. No one thought that someone would frame her at this time.
"Forget it, if you are willing to do something, you will always find an opportunity."
"Even if we stare, we can't keep staring."
"Mother, we might as well go to Zhuangzi. Anyway, there are so many people in the house with so many eyes and minds. It's annoying to look at them."
Tang Zhengrong watched the three people blaming themselves, but he felt it was nothing.
"But, I don't know if you will tell you about the marriage of the Ge family when you spoke to your father like this just now."
After saying this, Tang Zhengrong paused.
It seems that Aunt Liu thinks the family that Duke Tang is interested in is good.
"Mom, please rest assured. If we are not favored and something like this happens, I'm afraid we will be kicked out by our father."
"Now this is the case. My father still cares about my mother, who is favored by the Empress Dowager Xiao Shu. If he really drives us away, it will be difficult for the Empress Dowager Xiao Shu to see you. Isn't this his fault?"
