Chapter 422 This is a picture, a dragnet
In the past, Marquis Zhenyuan felt that everything in the mansion did not meet his expectations. He never had any common topics with his wife, who was married to him in a formal ceremony, and her personality was very strong.
Even his own son disappointed him, and his daughter-in-law was even worse. He just hoped that his grandson could have a bright future. But, at the instigation of his grandmother, his grandson attempted to force his mother to death.
He thought that these were the maximum limits of his tolerance.
Unexpectedly, these are just the tip of the iceberg!
An unprecedented feeling of powerlessness struck his heart, and Marquis Zhenyuan fell into his chair.
"My Lord!" Jiang called out worriedly.
The old lady came after him breathlessly and grabbed Jiang, "You Jiang, you come to the Marquis to complain about me again, you are really rebellious."
"Stop!" Zhenyuan Hou roared.
"My Lord! Are you old and confused? You actually listened to Jiang and believed her! If she were to take charge of the Zhenyuan Marquisate, we would be even more ashamed in the imperial capital."
"Where did you get all those women that you gave to Luo Hengsi over the years?" asked Marquis Zhenyuan in a deep voice.
The old lady glared at Jiang fiercely.
"Bang!" A teacup fell at her feet, and the broken porcelain hit her face.
The old lady was startled.
"Speak!" Marquis Zhenyuan's voice was even angrier than before.
The old lady was immediately shocked.
"Those people were of course sent to the manor and settled down. Lord, don't worry, those women were willing to serve Heng'er, and they didn't want any status. Not only did I give them the monthly salary of a concubine, but I also settled them down. I did it very secretly, and this matter will not be leaked."
"You are still lying! We have been husband and wife for so many years, how many things have you deceived me about?" Zhenyuan Houshe was completely furious.
"I...I..." The old lady stammered and couldn't answer.
"From today on, you will stay in your own yard. Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the gate!"
"My Lord, you can't punish me now. I have something important to do! I arranged for that little bitch named Liu Xu to live on the farm, but she disliked the hard life on the farm and ran away secretly! We must find this Liu Xu, otherwise, the matter between her and Heng'er will definitely not be kept secret!"
"Are you scared now? I'll take care of this matter! You don't have to worry about it!"
"My Lord!" The old lady became anxious and glared at Jiang again.
She was not sure how much Jiang knew, and whether she also knew that she had harmed those girls.
Because in this world, only the dead can keep secrets!
"Someone, send the old lady back!" Marquis Zhenyuan shouted angrily.
The old lady left reluctantly.
After the old woman left, Jiang quickly said to the Marquis of Zhenyuan, "My Lord, this Liu Xu cannot be left alive! If she only spreads the news of her relationship with my husband, it will only hurt my husband's reputation. However, if she knows what happened to those girls before and exposes this matter, our entire Marquis of Zhenyuan Mansion will be affected!"
"Don't worry about this matter. Get familiar with the affairs of the mansion as soon as possible and manage the backyard well. If anything goes wrong, I will hold you accountable!"
"Yes!" the wife responded quickly.
Marquis Zhenyuan dispatched additional manpower and intensified the search for willow catkins.
Ji Chuhe also increased Liu Xu's strength and let her know her current situation from time to time, but she was always able to escape danger.
On the journey north, Liu Xu had a very difficult time.
However, she always believed that Luo Heng was sincere to her.
Luo Heng would definitely protect her. As long as she found Luo Heng, she would be safe.
……
In the Prince's Mansion, Xiao Yan'an was thinking about this matter.
"Madam, do you mean to escort Liu Xu all the way and let her find Luo Heng smoothly? Once she sees Luo Heng, the relationship between them will spread. However, the Northern Territory is so far away from the imperial capital, and such a small private matter will not have any lethal power to Luo Heng. Besides, what if Luo Heng bites back and denies his relationship with Liu Xu?"
Ji Chuhe smiled faintly, "This little personal matter really won't affect Luo Heng. But this matter can make Luo Heng commit an unforgivable mistake, and he has no choice but to admit this relationship! He has no choice at all."
Hearing Ji Chuhe's decisive answer, Xiao Yan'an was filled with curiosity.
He couldn't figure out how Ji Chuhe planned this move, and he didn't want to ask in detail, so he could only wait for the development of the matter.
……
north.
Rong Yulan, the fourth son of the Duke's Mansion, received a secret letter.
After reading it, he immediately threw the letter into the brazier, watching the bloody flames devour the letter and turn it into ashes. A hint of smile appeared in his eyes.
"He'er is such a good kid! She knows what Fourth Uncle is worried about recently."
As the military supervisor, Luo Heng always confronted him.
He was still obsessed with going to war with the Hu bandits.
If the situation in the court had not undergone a drastic change, the war instigated by Luo Heng might have broken out again!
He was really looking forward to what was going to happen next.
Luo Heng also received a secret letter.
It is a handwritten letter from Marquis Zhenyuan.
After reading the letter, Luo Heng's heart sank to the bottom.
His father knew everything about his mother's attempts to put people around him.
And that Liu Xu ran away when he was placed in Zhuangzi! Liu Xu has been heading north all the way, probably wanting to come to the northern border to find him.
My father suspected that someone was secretly helping Liu Xu escape from the pursuit of Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion.
The letter also said that someone had recently been plotting to deal with the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion, and that the situation was very uneasy in the mansion. However, he did not need to worry about it, and he was repeatedly told to take care of himself and not give anyone the opportunity to frame him.
After reading the letter, Luo Heng felt uneasy.
It is easy to identify the people behind this plan. There is no need to guess. We know that they are from the Huaiyang Palace and the Rongguo Palace.
"My Lord, this is bad. Rumors about Madam are everywhere in the city!"
"What rumors?" Luo Heng asked in a deep voice.
"I dare not say!"
"Speak! You are not guilty."
"I don't know where the rumor came from, saying that the lady had an affair with someone, and that she accidentally fell into the water while having an affair. More than a dozen men rushed to rescue her and carried her to the shore in dishevelled clothes back to the Zhenyuan Marquis' Mansion."
Luo Heng was so angry that his veins were bulging.
"Where did you hear these rumors?"
"On the street, many people were talking about it."
Luo Heng immediately walked out.
The north is bitterly cold, and the liveliest places in the city are the teahouses.
He went straight to the teahouses.
"The Imperial Capital is still the best. You can see all kinds of things here. I wonder if the military supervisor knows about this. If he does, he will definitely not be able to stand it and will want to go back and chop that bitch to pieces!"
