"Girl... the young master in the front yard is actually the grandson of Prince Dingnan! Prince Wu just came to the door in person to identify him! At this moment, he is thanking the old man in the front hall!"
Last night, the girl suddenly told her that the boy who made the wedding was Wang Shisun of Dingnan, and told her to claim that she had found out about it... God knows how unsure she was at that time, for fear that someone would ask her about it!
Xu Mingyi just said "hmm" when he heard this.
While Akui helped her put on her shoes, she asked in a low voice, itching unbearably: "How did you know, girl?"
The girl has brought her so many surprises recently that she can hardly ask them all. I can only ask one of them now.
"Guess."
Xu Mingyi put on her shoes and stood up, smiled and patted her head, then turned and walked towards the maid who was about to wash herself.
"..." Akui was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized.
I think she also read countless story books... Why didn't she guess that it would be a plot like "an ordinary boy who was rescued has an amazing life experience and gets married to the lady of your family by accident"?
No, no, the difference is that the wedding plan is now cancelled.
A Kui stopped her random thoughts and hurriedly prepared clothes and jewelry for Xu Mingyi.
Soon a servant passed down breakfast.
Xu Mingyi looked at the bowl of crystal clear and tempting ice powder on the dining table and asked, "Where does this come from?"
"Back to the girl, the young master bought it for the girl early in the morning."
Xu Mingyi couldn't help but remain silent.
Doing the math, since the day she 'came back', she has eaten the ice powder she bought tomorrow every day, and even twice a day.
Today was a good thing, even her breakfast was arranged.
After getting married in her previous life, she once heard Wu Chao say, "Never praise her delicious food in front of your mother easily." Now she has finally realized the true meaning of it -
However, her family Mingshi is a boy...
Xu Mingyi felt half helpless and half heart-warming, so she picked up the spoon and put a spoonful of rice porridge into her mouth.
Halfway through, Azhu came back from outside.
"girl."
She stood at the table and whispered: "After Liu Yi confessed to the crime, he committed suicide in prison."
Ah Kui, who was helping Xu Mingyi prepare the dishes, shook her hands holding long chopsticks and looked at Ah Zhu nervously.
What should I do if I suddenly tell such shocking news without any warning and frighten the girl so early in the morning?
However, he saw his girl chewing the bun in her mouth without any change in her expression.
After swallowing, he calmly said: "I understand."
In fact, she guessed Yi Liuyi's temperament and would choose to do this.
…
In the front yard, the Duke of Zhen impatiently asked someone to see off the guests.
Even so, Wu Jingming, the crown prince of Dingnan, thanked him again and again before leaving with his troubled son.
Many servants and ordinary people from various government offices who heard the news and came to see the excitement had already gathered outside the town's Duke's Mansion.
"Look, Prince Wu really brought a young man out..."
"The person General Xu saved was actually the grandson of King Dingnan!"
"Didn't you say that he was just an ordinary country boy who brought it to Miss Xu as a wedding gift?" A servant girl from the Zhan family's house next door said in surprise: "Miss Liu from the Xu family said it to me personally the day before yesterday. Ordinarily,
It can’t be wrong!”
"Miss Liu? Are you talking about the Liu family who repaid kindness with revenge and poisoned her to murder Miss Xu?"
"What?! Are you poisoning Miss Xu?" The servant woman looked at the mother-in-law who spoke in shock.
The woman glanced at her: "Yes! The person has been arrested and taken to the Yamen to be punished! Now you are not good at asking for information!"
Wu Chao was sitting in the carriage, and the incessant discussion was gradually left behind.
"Is there any injury?"
In the carriage, a thin, middle-aged man wearing a thin silk blue shirt and a short beard checked the young man for any injuries.
Wu Chao held his hand, shook his head and said, "Father, I'm fine."
"Why don't you go home for so long?"
"If I don't come back, wouldn't my father still come to find me?" Wu Chaohun said nonchalantly.
"If I don't come here again, the Wu family is afraid that a grandson will come to celebrate someone's birthday -" Wu Jingming was still frightened at the mention of this.
The young man's tone was casual: "The Duke of Zhen saved my life, so why not really celebrate the Xu family."
Wu Jingming's beard trembled when he heard this - does he still have any dignity that he should have as a descendant of the Dingnan King?
But Wu Chao's face changed from a casual look and he suddenly asked: "Has father found out the true origin of those bandits?"
"Nothing unusual has been found at the moment. Ningyang is still investigating in secret."
Wu Chao frowned and asked again: "The court couldn't find anything?"
The reason why he chose to stay in the Zhenguo Palace without spreading the news that he was still alive was to wait and see if anyone suspicious would jump out.
Wu Jingming shook his head: "Either we treat it as just an ordinary bandit, or the other party is too secretive and careful."
"Father, could it be—" Wu Chao's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't finish his sentence.
"Probably not." Wu Jingming's voice was low and solemn: "Normally it wouldn't be so blatant."
Wu Chao nodded slightly.
He had been thinking the same thing for the past two days.
Besides, living people are always more useful than dead ones - his father, as the heir apparent of Prince Dingnan, was appointed to the Ministry of Household Affairs in the middle of the capital. This is a ready example.
But apart from that, who else has the ability to do something so impeccable that it can be concealed from the investigation of the imperial court and the Dingnan Palace?
"There must be a traitor around me." Wu Chao said firmly: "The dosage of those intoxicating drugs is huge. If there is no insider, the other party will never be able to succeed so easily."
And it is very likely that he is a confidant around him——
A face flashed before his eyes, and Wu Chao asked: "Among the found bodies, is there Suishan?"
Wu Jingming sighed slightly.
"Everyone who accompanied you to the capital this time died on the spot. The bodies have been inspected by the local officials and have been taken back to Ningyang for a good burial."
"..." Wu Chao straightened his thin lips slightly.
Those are all loyal servants of the Wu family.
Thinking about it, if they hadn't fought tooth and nail to protect each other, he wouldn't have been able to survive the Duke of Zhen's rescue.
However, even so, the possibility of a traitor cannot be ruled out.
He was about to say something more, but Wu Jingming patted him on the shoulder: "In any case, as long as my son is safe and well. The rest of the matter will be investigated by the clan, so you can rest assured and take good care of yourself."
Then he said with a smile: "Your mother is still waiting at the house. She has been so anxious because of your affairs these days that she has fallen ill. I'm afraid her illness will be cured by more than half when I see you later."
"It's the son who makes his parents worry."
Although his mother had moved to Beijing with his father a few years ago and often saw him less than a few times a year, he had always been aware of his father's and mother's love for him.
"This time is different from your usual troubles and mischief. You are the one who really suffered a big danger." Wu Jingming said: "And your aunt, who keeps asking people to ask about the progress - it will be your aunt's birthday soon.
Banquet, please take good care of yourself, so that she can feel more at ease when she sees you... Also, when you enter the palace, you need to be careful and observe etiquette, and don't be as careless in words and deeds as usual..."
Listening to his father start chattering, Wu Chao looked at the roof of the car in despair.
The Xu family girl is not the only one in this world who is afraid of nagging...
