The road was slippery late at night, and walking down the mountain was more strenuous than going up.
One section of the stone steps in particular is very steep.
Qianru's feet just slipped a few times and she rolled from the entrance of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.
Although I can't die, it still hurts!
The governor of Jingzhao was having a drink at a relative's house. Suddenly, he heard from his subordinates that the sister-in-law of Miaofa Temple came to report the crime. The princess of Hedong County was killed by Mrs. Yongzhong Hou. She was so frightened that she went home all night to change clothes and came to arrest the murderer.
As soon as he got off the carriage, a woman rolled up at Gululu's feet.
In the wilderness, with no light and no fire, he suddenly arrived.
The governor of Jingzhao was so frightened that he almost got back into the car.
Qianru was beaten to a pulp and her head was dizzy. She thought that the carriage in front of her was arranged by the government, so she prepared to get on it without thinking.
The governor of Jingzhao City was surprised! He looked around and said, "Who is this? He is so arrogant!"
Qianru was also puzzled. She was ready to go up, so why was there an unsightly person blocking the door and refusing to let her go?
After calming down for a moment, her mind cleared up, and she recognized the man who blocked the door from the official clothes on his body, and recognized that he looked like the governor of Jingzhao.
At the same time, the officials who were rolling up the mountain rushed to report the case to the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture.
"My lord, this looks like a fake case, a false accusation!"
"What kind of false accusation? This is obviously murder first and framed later. It's a complete attempted murder!"
Qianru bit her teeth reluctantly, and the Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture did not dare to say anything carelessly. He held up his hat, jumped out of the carriage with the help of the servant, and waited for the arrival of the prince and his wife of Hedong County.
Several sisters-in-law who reported the crime, led the way, and behaved suspiciously were also behind.
The governor wanted to take the person back to the Yamen for trial.
But Xiangxiang refused and insisted on trying him now and on the spot.
The sister-in-law who harmed others, saw that Xiangxiang could walk, jump, and move freely, but refused to admit that she had killed someone.
"Do you have any evidence? Do you have any physical evidence? In the blessed land of the Immortal Family, how can the gods allow you to unjustly accuse a good person?"
After a lot of talking, it was only confirmed that several sisters-in-law reported false reports and falsely accused the Lord and Lady of serious injury.
Although it is expected.
But after all, the evildoer was able to escape justice.
Qianru was angry and resentful, and Xiangxiang was even more angry.
Thinking of her miserable sister who was poisoned by her evil mother-in-law, she held Qianru's hands and started to stir up trouble seriously.
"The meaning of Shangguan Liu's words just now is clearly that he wants you to look good. You must be careful not to follow in the footsteps of my sister."
Qianru looked calm and calm on the surface, but she was very worried in her heart.
After all, she has yet to see her husband safe and sound.
However, when she returned home in fear, she found Shangguan Yuan sleeping peacefully in the house.
He smelled like alcohol, he had drank a lot of bottles.
She was a little disappointed.
Changsun Ji was so sick and weak, yet he was able to brave the severe cold to find the Miao Dharma Temple to save Xiang Xiang. However, his husband not only returned home alone, but also got drunk.
She was angry.
Wishful thinking.
Could it be that Shangguan Liu said something to him that made his life-and-death relationship with her shaken?
The voice of reason reassured her that there must be a misunderstanding.
But the angry voice roared and yelled, constantly cursing Shangguan Yuan.
Her mood at the moment is obviously more inclined to the latter.
By some strange coincidence, she walked out of the Hou Mansion.
Without a single maid, she walked sadly and lonely into the cold windy streets.
The Lantern Festival lantern festival has long since dispersed.
The street was deserted, and the only sounds he could hear were the sound of the wind and his own breathing.
She regretted running away from home.
Especially, after a moment, Shoes opened its big hungry mouth.
I really want to go home, wouldn't it be nice to stay by the warm stove? Why do I have to come out to blow the cold wind?
Just as she was about to turn around, a smell of alcohol hit her from behind.
She trembled and imagined a horrifying story in her mind.
In an empty street, a beautiful young woman who ran away in anger encountered a lustful drunk man.
She clenched her fists nervously, but it turned out that she was overthinking, because the person who came was none other than her husband Shangguan Yuan, whom she hated and was angry with.
He just moved his arms slightly and took her home.
Before she could say a few words of resentment, he took out a cane from under the mattress and stuffed it into her hand.
"This is?"
"let's hit!"
"ah?"
Could it be that he is drunk and likes to be beaten? Why didn't he notice it before? Could it be that he has always been suppressed?
She couldn't do such a thing, so she just threw it away.
Just because his conscience found some sincerity in bringing him back from the outside, he would forget about tonight's matter.
Soaking your feet in hot water and getting into a warm bed are the best things to do on a cold day.
"Ru'er, your reaction is so surprising. I thought you would scold me like a fighting cock, and then punch me a few times and kick me a few times!"
"So you're not drunk at all, huh!"
Shangguan Yuan then lifted up his muddy boots and showed them to her.
"I searched the whole mountain and couldn't find you, so I came back by myself."
This was such a bad lie, and she clearly smelled of alcohol. She was too lazy to agree. She shrank her head into the quilt and prepared to turn a deaf ear.
However, she was too light, so he pulled her out with just a slight lift.
He was so bullying, she gave him a hard roll of the eyes, and then exposed his lies mercilessly.
Shangguan Yuan complained endlessly.
As soon as he entered the house, before he saw my mother, Princess Nandu and Aunt Zi Ning blocked her and scolded her severely.
In the evening, they began to prepare the lamb.
He thought, that's not right! People are almost dying from illness, how can they still think about preparing mutton?
Sure enough, when I broke into the back room, I saw my mother enjoying a plate of dried beef.
With a rosy complexion and the spring breeze blowing on his face, he might even be able to kill a tiger with a wave of his fist.
Realizing that he had been tricked, he turned around and went to find Qianru.
But the sister-in-law of Miaofaguan said that Qianru had already left.
He didn't believe it. When he found the foot of the mountain from the mountain and didn't see the Marquis's carriage, he began to believe that Qianru had gone home.
"So, you came back by yourself, and then you met your brothers and went drinking with them. When you came back, it was already late, and I hadn't gone home yet. You were about to go out to look for it, and suddenly you found that I had entered the house. You didn't know it for a moment.
At a loss, he pretended to be drunk. Is that right?"
Shangguan Yuan was surprised. He didn't expect Qianru's explanation to be so beneficial to him. He followed the trend and gave her a very definite affirmation with a shocked expression.
"how do you know?"
"If not, how could you follow me out and find me back?"
"Good Ru'er, I was wrong. But it's so dark. It's really not the best idea for you to imitate others and run away from home."
After saying that, Shangguan Yuan picked up the rattan she had thrown in the corner and said, "I specially prepared this for you. It should be regarded as our family law."
Little did he know that this seemingly sincere behavior actually exposed himself.
Qianru suddenly realized that something was wrong. If he came back just as he was about to go out to look for her, how could he have time to prepare the family law?
She lifted up the pair of muddy boots under the couch and observed them for a moment, and suddenly understood.
The mountain road was so slippery, and he had been looking for her up and down the mountain for so long wearing a pair of old boots. How could the boots be so intact? There wasn't even a hole that was about to break.
"No. Those vicious sisters-in-law, with their careful arrangements, must have sent our coachman back long ago. When you got off the mountain and didn't see the coach, you must have thought that I left first. Then, you went back on foot.
I met several brothers and feasted until night. You are also afraid that I will attack you when I come back. After all, you know that I am an unusual woman and not so easy to suffer. Therefore, the first thing you think of is how to retreat to advance and block me.
Q!"
"It's not like that, me"
"No need to say anything, everything is already in my mind."
Seeing her plugging her ears, Shangguan Yuan thought of himself as a bastard in his heart. He broke the cane in frustration and said helplessly: "God has given me such a smart wife, so I have nowhere to hide."
Listening to these two subdued words, she seemed somewhat sincere, her competitive spirit was satisfied, and she couldn't help laughing.
After all, the love between husband and wife was deep, and she saw that he didn't have any bad intentions, it was just self-defeating, so she generously forgave her.
