Bondage

At the beginning of November, families in central and central Beijing had already begun to prepare for the winter, but the Chengyang Hou Mansion seemed extraordinarily quiet.

Ever since Jiang Xingjian went out in armor again, everyone in the mansion was worried from top to bottom, for fear that the scene many years ago would happen again.

Jiang's mother knocked scriptures and recited Buddhist scriptures in the small Buddhist hall every day, while Lin Jiayue only had her baby in her room and didn't go anywhere.Even when Huai Su wanted to visit her occasionally, she was too lazy to see her, she just sat in Long Xiangzhai with nothing to do all day, casually flipping through the books left by Song Wan.

When Jiang Xingjian was not in the mansion, she seemed to have lost her fighting spirit and could not raise any energy. Only when Jiang Xing was there, would she insist on accompanying her to read and write, or to embroider and tie.

Jiang's mother didn't want to see the fetus in her womb at first, but recently she often sent the government doctor to give her a safe pulse, which made Lin Jiayue very upset.

If Jiang Xingjian had never left the capital, the little thing in his belly might have disappeared long ago.

Lin Jiayue gently touched her swollen belly, a trace of struggle and tenderness flashed in her eyes.

"Aunt Lin, shopkeeper Xu from the grocery store, please see me."

"see me?"

Qi Shun's family nodded and said: "The old slave also felt strange, asked what happened and didn't say anything, the old slave will accompany you to meet?"

"See you, maybe there is something wrong with the shop."

She walked out with an indifferent expression, Qi Shun's family looked at her words and deeds, and felt very familiar.

Shopkeeper Xu is the general manager of the grocery store in Shangjing of the Hou Mansion. He is a thin old man who is over sixty years old. Lin Jiayue only met him once with Jiang Xingjian when he opened the store. It is really strange that he came to find him now.

After leaving the Lan Courtyard, Lin Jiayue walked slowly towards the small pavilion near the Chuihua Gate. Even though it was not winter, she did feel a bit cold.

Tightening the cloak around her body, she looked at the old man in front of her with a bored expression.

Shopkeeper Xu didn't say anything, and just handed her a package in his hand: "A customer said that there was something wrong with the goods in the shop, and the old slave had to hand over the things to the owner."

"Master Hou is not here, this old slave thinks that this thing should be handed over to Aunt Lin."

Lin Jiayue frowned, took the things and opened them casually, only to see that there were several miscellaneous objects inside, and she couldn't see any problems, but the ragged clothes at the bottom caught her attention.

"what……"

Shaking off the clothes, Lin Jiayue glanced over and suddenly her expression changed.

Seeing her reaction, shopkeeper Xu knew that the other party understood, and after saluting, he left a sentence to tell him what to do, then turned and left.

"What's wrong with these objects? Why didn't the old slave see it?"

Lin Jiayue gathered those things together, and said calmly, "There is something wrong with the mold made by the craftsman, I'll take it back to the house to have a look."

Back in the room, Lin Jiayue spread the clothes on the table, and found a pen and paper to copy down the contents one by one. After reading the message from Qingjiang's travel slips, she sat down on the chair and was lost in thought.

It would take more than ten days to send this thing to Shangjing in an expedited [-] miles. Now Jiang Xingjian and the prince's people may have been wiped out by the whole army.

Lin Jiayue threw the pen and paper on the table, and sneered contemptuously.

But laughing and laughing, she couldn't help but shed tears again.

What if... what if they are still alive and struggling?

Thinking of Jiang Man being tortured to death as mentioned above, Lin Jiayue bit her lip, unable to calm down for a long time.

She thought that she hated Jiang Xingjian and Jiang Man, and even hated everyone in Chengyanghou Mansion. She thought she hated even a stone or a grass in Chengyanghou Mansion.

But why...

Why did she feel surprised but not relieved when she learned that Jiang Xingjian was trapped in Suhe River and that Jiang Man died for such absurd reasons?

Lin Jiayue touched her lower abdomen, her eyes were full of pain and struggle.

"Miss Yueer."

Jiang Xing pushed open the door, and as soon as she poked her head slightly, she was startled by Lin Jiayue who suddenly got up and strode towards the door. She was just about to ask, when she saw Lin Jiayue ran out with her stomach in her hands.

"Take care of yourself..."

As soon as she left Long Xiangzhai, Lin Jiayue was stopped by Qing Wei.

"What is Aunt Lin doing? Be careful."

"Quick, I want to enter the palace to see Song Wan."

Lin Jiayue opened her eyes, feeling miserable.

Who would have thought that after experiencing life and death betrayal in a foreign land, the only person she trusted when encountering major events was actually Song Wan?

Qingwei was originally a Dianzan in the palace, and she has been in charge of government affairs for a long time. Some time ago, Jiang Xingjian accepted her into the house, but at that time, she was only recorded in the book department of the palace.At that time, the old lady passed away, and the mansion was still in the period of filial piety. If there were not successive accidents in the Hou's mansion and Qingwei's identity was really embarrassing, I'm afraid she would not have made such a bad move.

Perhaps it was because of this that she had no hostility towards Lin Jiayue or Lin Jiayue towards her. Although there were occasional minor conflicts, the two of them could still be clear about major issues.

"I'm afraid it's not easy."

Qingwei said: "Auntie's status is low and she cannot be posted into the palace. If something really important happens, she can only be summoned by the master of the palace. But Song Chenghui's status is also low, and she has no right to summon people outside the palace."

"If you are really in a hurry, I can't ask someone to ask Concubine Yun. If Concubine Yun agrees, you may meet Song Chenghui."

"No, I can't see Concubine Yun."

Jiang Xingjian and the prince are in trouble, and only the third prince, Shen Qianbai, is left in the court. If all the prince and his party are lost in Suhe, Shen Qianbai can take the throne directly!

Let her use Jiangshan as a temptation to test human nature, she can't do it.

Lin Jiayue grabbed Qing Wei, her eyes were burning with anxiety.

"This……"

Qing Wei thought for a moment and said: "Then Aunt Lin can only ask the old lady."

Jiang's mother has a royal order, if she wants to see Song Wan hand over a post to enter the palace, no one should stop her.

"Old lady?"

Lin Jiayue was taken aback for a moment, feeling bitter in her heart.

To her, Mother Jiang is not even as reliable as herself.

But at this time, there is no delay. If you delay for a moment, more people may die.

Lin Jiayue gritted her teeth and turned to Jiang Mu's Jiangxiang Courtyard.

"What are you doing frizzy?"

Mother Jiang was meditating in the small Buddhist hall, when Lin Jiayue suddenly opened the door, causing her to raise her eyebrows fiercely.

"You all go out, I have something to say to my wife."

Lin Jiayue looked at the maid in the room and sent everyone out. Aunt Li was dissatisfied and was about to reprimand her, but Lin Jiayue yelled out.

"Mother, something happened to Suhe."

Pushing everyone out, Lin Jiayue said in tears: "The Holy One sent Lord Hou to Suhe in the face, but secretly reached an agreement with Nanqing to withdraw all the troops of the Suhe capital. Now there is only an empty space left." The shell is here."

"Furthermore, Concubine Jiang was secretly sent to Princess Nanqing by the Holy Master, and she has long been tortured to death."

"The Holy Majesty has made up his mind to take the life of Juecheng Yanghou Mansion, we can't sit still and wait for death."

"I want to enter the palace to meet Song Wan, mother, please help me!"

"help me!"
