Mind Reading: The tyrant panicked after hearing the little princess's inner voice
Chapter 25: The Secretary of State breaks into Confucius's residence to save his sister
When they arrived at Kong's house, the doorman stopped them.
"Didn't the master tell us that we have guests today? Have you two sent your visiting cards?"
In fact, he recognized them; they were the eldest young master's wife's brother and sister-in-law.
But the eldest young lady's wife can only be bullied in their family. Does she need to please her parents' family so much?
The servants are unaware of the twists and turns in officialdom; they simply follow the lead of their masters and follow their attitudes.
Mrs. Xu wanted to get angry, but then she thought that it was indeed they who were being rude.
She forced herself to swallow her anger, glared at the Minister of the Central Secretariat, and then signaled her servants to bring the money.
The servant understood, took out a silver ingot and put it into the doorman's hand, "Please inform us, big brother."
The doorman went in and asked the steward and found out that the mistress had gone out today, and the master and the young master were still on duty and had not returned yet.
He was about to go back and get rid of the two men, but was pulled back by the steward:
"Why are you asking about the master's whereabouts? Do you have bad intentions?"
"If you don't give me a reasonable reason, I'll slap you."
At this time, the second young master's wife happened to pass by. The doorman didn't dare to resist even though his ears were pinched. He shrank his neck and confessed honestly:
"There are two people outside the door who want to visit. I'm here to inform them."
"Oh, I see." The manager didn't take it too seriously.
Their family is the mother's family of Concubine Xian, and there are many people who curry favor with them.
He is also the relative of the Minister of the Central Secretariat!
Because of this relationship, many people who cannot curry favor with the Minister of the Secretariat would come to their house in a roundabout way.
The Kong family got a lot of good things and received so many gifts that they were overwhelmed.
The steward let go of the doorman and waved his hand nonchalantly: "Just ask them to leave the gift behind and leave now."
At this time, the second young master's wife came over and asked, "Who is it?"
"Replying to the Second Young Master's Madam, it is the First Young Master's Madam's brother and his wife."
Second Young Master’s Wife:? !!!
Manager:? !!!
"Where's that man? Have you invited him in to serve tea?"
The doorman replied blankly: "No, he's still standing outside the door!"
Two people:! ! ! ! ! !
……
The Minister of the Central Secretariat was already waiting outside the door impatiently, especially worried about his sister.
All I could hear was the woman's scolding coming from far away:
"How dare you leave the Minister of the Central Secretariat outside when he comes to visit? Forget about your salary this month!"
Mrs. Kong Ershao walked over quickly, and because she was in such a hurry, her hairpin was a little crooked.
She apologized and invited them in: "I am so sorry, I didn't know the rules and treated you badly. I apologize on behalf of my parents-in-law."
"What's the matter with your sudden visit? Let's go to the main hall to talk."
Mrs. Xu walked away and said, "Excuse me, we are here to see my younger sister. My husband received...?"
The Minister of the Central Secretariat held her back and continued, "I passed by your house today and came to see my younger sister. May I ask where my younger sister is, Madam Second Young Master?"
"This..." The Second Young Master's wife hesitated.
"My sister-in-law is out today and is not at home. I don't know where she is."
But when she said this, she was obviously feeling guilty.
So the Minister of the Central Secretariat obviously didn't believe it, and the aura of a high-ranking official was instantly released: "One more question, where is my sister?"
Mrs. Xu finally realized that something was wrong. Could something fatal have happened?
Does the Kong family have the courage to do this?
The second young master's wife said in panic, "I won't tell you that my sister-in-law is locked in her own room, so don't force your way in!"
Zhongshu Ling: ...Thank you.
He took his wife and the four or five servants he brought with him, and the group rushed towards the yard where his sister lived.
The Second Young Master's wife and her two maids were unable to stop them and were pushed away and fell.
After everyone left, she clapped her hands and was helped up from the ground by the maid.
The woman's expression suddenly calmed down, and she didn't look panicked at all.
Anyway, she has concealed it and tried to stop it, so it can't be blamed on her.
In fact, seeing the miserable condition of her sister-in-law, as a daughter-in-law of the Kong family, how could she not feel the pain of being alone?
Every bit of help you can give is a plus.
But a sharp voice came from behind, piercing the eardrums: "Are you all blind? Stop them quickly!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the servants around moved and stepped forward to stop the man.
Zhongshu Ling and they were surrounded.
He turned around: "Mrs. Kong, what are you doing?"
Mrs. Kong walked forward and first poked the Second Young Master's wife hard on the head: "Useless thing!"
She staggered after being poked so hard that she just lowered her head and dared not utter a word.
After venting a little, Mrs. Kong came over and smiled at the two of them:
"Master Xu, Madam Xu. My second daughter-in-law is ignorant and didn't even know how to lead people to the main hall, so you two can't find the way."
"It's not right for a guest to run around in the host's house, is it?"
Being stopped again and again, Madam Xu knew that the Kong family was suspicious, so she replied: "My husband and I are in a hurry and we are short on time. We just came to see my sister and will leave after seeing her. I will come to visit your house again tomorrow when I am free."
Mrs. Kong said with a fake smile: "Since time is tight, I won't waste your time."
"You guys go and do your work first. Can the person here run away?"
"I'll bring my family to meet my mother's family tomorrow, okay?"
Of course not.
We have alerted the enemy today. Will we be able to see the truth tomorrow?
Seeing this, the Secretary of State didn't waste any more words and just rushed in.
Mrs. Kong was horrified. "What are you doing? Someone, stop them!"
They were surrounded by more than a dozen servants, all of them young and strong.
After all, they were in someone else's house, and they only brought a few people with them, so they had no chance of winning.
Madam Xu tugged at the Minister of State Affairs' hand nervously, "My dear, there are too many people here. Let's come back another day."
Although the evidence will be transferred another day, at least you can ensure your own safety first.
The Minister of the Central Secretariat glanced at the inconspicuous servants he had brought with him and said calmly, "Let's get started."
The situation reversed in an instant. The Kong family did not expect that although they brought only a few people, all of them were martial artists.
When I came to my senses, two of the people blocking the road ahead had fallen to the ground.
The person nearby reacted and tried to stop it, but was kicked in the knee and broken.
In just a short while, all the people blocking the way lost their ability to move.
The Minister of the Central Secretariat pulled his wife and ran in.
"Chase!"
The servants behind followed Mrs. Kong's instructions and actually slowed down their pace.
Nonsense, are you in a hurry to catch up and get beaten?
……
Xu Xinshu was tied to the bed, and the edges, bed curtains and top of the bed were covered with talisman paper.
The windows in the house were sealed and covered with layers of wooden boards and curtains.
Not a single ray of light can be seen even in broad daylight.
She could no longer tell the difference between day and night; it was all the same darkness.
She could only remember the days by the number of times the maid brought her meals.
Even the food was mixed with sour and astringent magic water.
But she had to eat it, even if it gave her unbearable abdominal pain.
Because it was her only food.
