Leng Moran hummed softly, "The second young lady of Prince Wei's Mansion."
Xiao Xixi thought about it seriously, Prince Wei's Mansion was really not a simple place. She didn't expect that Prince Wei's second daughter was so innocent and was harmed like this by her concubine.
Concubine...
Seemingly thinking of something, Xiao Xixi asked: "Is your third sister the daughter of Aunt Xiao who was born in the General's Mansion?"
Leng Yudie bit her lip, nodded slightly and said, "Yes."
It turns out she is Xiao Xiaorou's daughter, so it's not surprising that she did anything.
Xiao Xiaorou wanted to marry into the Prince of Wei at all costs, so she cut off contact with the Xiao family. Later, she was suppressed by Lu Jiaojiao, the Princess of Wei, and she couldn't hold her head up. The King of Wei didn't get close to her either. I don't know what tricks were used to get married.
The next three girls.
I don't know if it's fate, but Xiao Xiaorou's daughter is also the third young lady in the family, just like her own ranking in the Xiao family.
And the person her daughter wants to kill is also the second sister of the family.
After Xiao Xixi sighed with emotion, "Lu Jiaojiao would probably be very angry if she knew that you were bullied like this by a concubine."
Leng Yudie's heart became even heavier. This time she was going to her maternal grandfather's house to visit relatives. It was her third sister who came to ask her to go with her. Her mother-in-law didn't want her to take her third sister with her. It was because she felt that since she had agreed to her third sister,
Just keep your word.
The mother-in-law also reminded her that the third sister is not a simple person, and asked her to be careful when going out, but she didn't believe it and threw the mother-in-law's words behind her.
Unexpectedly, I almost paid a heavy price...
Fortunately, he met Xiao Xixi and the others, otherwise Leng Yudie simply couldn't imagine what it would be like now.
She would probably die in the hands of those people after her innocence was taken away, allowing Third Sister to take advantage of her.
Xiao Xixi took Leng Yudie back, boiled hot water for her to take a bath, and then brought her some clean clothes to change into.
Then Xiao Xixi asked: "What are you going to do next? Are you going back to the capital or going somewhere else?"
For such a little girl and a relative, she would always ask her clearly what her plans were, and then help her out.
Xiao Xixi really wanted to see Xiao Xiaorou defeated.
Leng Yudie looked at her with bright eyes and asked expectantly: "Can you take me in for a while? I want to see what the third sister is going to do."
Xiao Xixi respected Leng Yudie's decision, nodded and said: "Okay, this room is empty, so I'll let you live in it temporarily."
The small courtyard they rented has three rooms, one for storing sundries and one for the two of them to live in. This one is empty.
Xiao Xixi didn't think it was anything, it was just a house, and it would be more lively if there was one more person in the house.
Leng Moran found it inconvenient. He avoided the children at home and took his wife out to spend their time together, not wanting to be disturbed.
Although Leng Yudie is nominally his cousin, she is about the same age as Zhan'er Hui'er, so he almost treats her as a junior.
The peaceful world of the two was disturbed by a sudden outsider, and Leng Moran felt uncomfortable.
But seeing that Leng Yudie was here alone again, Leng Moran couldn't just drive him out.
I have no choice but to observe what her third sister is doing when I have nothing to do, and try to send her away as soon as possible.
The maternal ancestral family that Leng Yudie spoke of was Lu Jiaojiao's father, the former Lu Shangshu.
After Lu Shangshu became an official, he took his family back to his hometown, which happened to be the county seat here.
Leng Yudie came to visit her grandfather this time for another purpose, that is, Lu Shangshu's wife had chosen a good marriage for her.
In fact, the other party was not comparable to the wealthy young men in the capital, but he was from a prominent local family. Lu Shangshu was very optimistic about this young man and wanted to arrange this marriage.
The third young lady, Leng Caidi, accidentally found out about this incident and deliberately found a reason to follow the second sister, Leng Yudie, back. Not only did she want to disrupt the marriage, but she also wanted to kill Leng Yudie.
Leng Moran found out that after Leng Caidi murdered Leng Yudie, she came to Lu Shangshu's current residence in feigned panic, crying and blaming herself for failing to protect her second sister.
Seeing the little girl bursting into tears and describing herself as embarrassed, although Lu Shangshu was also worried about his granddaughter's safety, he did not want to be too harsh on Leng Caidi.
After all, she is still a young girl.
Leng Caidi was secretly proud. On her way back, she deliberately "encountered" Leng Yudie's future husband.
The other person's appearance was average, and she couldn't tell how talented he was, but since he was chosen by the Lu family, he must be good.
With this in mind, Leng Caidi used a little trick to make the other party unable to move forward.
She took the opportunity to deliberately reveal her identity, thinking that at this moment the other party's eyes were full of hers.
Lu Shangshu sent his servants out to look for Leng Yudie's whereabouts. Before he got any news, he heard that several people had come to the county government to confess, saying that they were ordered by a girl to murder her sister.
When the yamen officers asked about their identity, those few people were dumbfounded. How could they know who they were? They only knew the names of the second sister and the third sister, as well as a rough description of their appearance.
"The eyes are big, dark, and round, and the nose and mouth are small. They are very beautiful."
The yamen officer was listening attentively, but when he saw several people saying this, he wanted to beat them out.
Are you sure you are here to surrender? Not to cause trouble?
It’s amazing to find such a description!
When the people of the Lu family learned about it, they immediately reported it to Lu Shangshu.
Lu Shangshu was worried that he could not find his granddaughter, so he rushed to the county government office after hearing the news.
The county magistrate knew Lu Shangshu's identity. Although he had become an official now, his connections in the court could not be underestimated, so he was very respectful to him. When faced with Lu Shangshu's request to meet several people who had surrendered, the county magistrate immediately
accepted.
Lu Shangshu asked several people about his granddaughter's whereabouts.
How did those people know? They fled so quickly, and they can only tell where they fled.
The county magistrate blew his beard and asked with a serious face: "Don't hide it! But if you know anything else, recruit it truthfully!"
One person actually thought of it, "The girl called out to the female sister-in-law who saved her."
Sister-in-law?
After Lu Shangshu was slightly stunned, he made a bold guess.
I heard that the Emperor and the Queen Mother were traveling around, and according to their seniority, the Queen Mother was indeed her granddaughter's sister-in-law.
Lu Shangshu immediately sent people to nearby villages to find the whereabouts of his granddaughter.
Soon, people from the Lu family came to the door.
After all, Leng Moran and Xiao Xixi are outsiders, and now that there is another Leng Yudie, it is difficult not to attract attention.
So it's easy for others to find them.
Leng Moran didn't want this, so it was best to take him away as soon as possible.
Lu Shangshu knew that since the Emperor and the Queen Mother kept their names anonymous, they probably did not want to be too public, so although they came in person, they did not bring too many servants with them.
After Lu Shangshu exchanged a few words with Leng Moran, he took Leng Yudie and left.
