I was a housekeeper in ancient times

In the Huangju Hall.

Madam Lu was so smart that she could naturally predict that Wan Jie'er's matter was related to Lu Yuxuan.

She thought that Lu Yuxuan was also a waste, he couldn't even deal with Yu Muyan, so what use was there for Jie Wanjie'er's adopted daughter? She wasn't her biological daughter.

The controversy over the fake death is getting more and more intense. I don't know how many eyes are staring at the Bo family. The Bo family should have lived a quiet life, but now, with this incident, how can the Bo family live in peace?

He was not afraid that someone would use this incident to accuse Lu Yuxuan of murdering his adopted daughter and silencing her!

"What a fool!" she cursed.

"Madam, we can't let this matter go on any longer. The court has already sent people to investigate the place where the old master had the accident. It won't take long for them to find out the truth. Even if the old master is away, he will have trouble getting questioned by outsiders. If the emperor asks, will the old master tell the truth or..." said Madam Yang.

Old Madam Lu knew it very well, but she had no way to deal with Lu Yuxuan. Her only plan now was to find a way to clear herself of the fact that Lu Yuxuan had faked his death and insist that Lu Yuxuan was really dead, and that she was unaware of the fake death.

In Qianchun Alley.

The lights in front of each household were turned off one after another, and only two or three households had their lights still on. The house where Aunt Yan Wei lived was one of them.

What happened today made Aunt Yan Wei unable to sleep, and she was even more worried about Wan Jie'er's safety. She had failed to protect Wan Jie'er and she had a certain responsibility.

She also roughly guessed that it was Lu Yuxuan who did it. After all, Yu Muyan only had this one enemy.

Chenyu saw that she was still awake, "Aunt, you should rest. This matter involves Mr. Jiang."

Speaking of Jiang Zhaofang, this was the only thing she could be thankful for today.

When he learned that Wan Jie'er had been kidnapped, Jiang Zhaofang immediately dispatched people to look for her, and also asked the Bingmasi who was responsible for patrolling the city to help look for her.

It was also because a large number of people were mobilized in time to search for her that some clues were found. A doctor was called in to bandage her arm and send her back to Qianchun Lane. For fear that she was unsafe, people were sent to guard her.

She seldom asks for help from others because she doesn't want to owe others favors, as favors are the hardest to repay.

Jiang Zhaofang had no feelings for her, but he still tried his best to help her, which was very rare, and it made her have a slightly different opinion of Jiang Zhaofang.

She stood in front of the door, looking at the thin full moon in the sky. Its light sprinkled in the courtyard like water, with heavy shadows of the trees, creating a unique artistic conception.

Chenyu was so sleepy that she was leaning on the bed, swaying.

At this time, there was a noise outside. It was Jiang Zhaofang coming.

She was quite surprised. It was so late at night. She thought there was news about Wan Jie'er, so she asked, "Is it Wan Jie'er..."

Jiang Zhaofang walked over and said, "We haven't found him yet, but he must still be in the city. It's not easy for a thief to hide with a child. I met Brother Qi in the daytime, and he suspected that it was Lu Yuxuan who did it."

"It can only be him."

"Brother Qi told me that he was hiding in Chuqing Pavilion before, so I sent people to keep an eye on him. Even if I have to dig deep into the ground, I will find him. He is the first person in the world to deceive his superiors and subordinates, abandon his wife and children, and even kill them."

"He repeatedly caused trouble. He originally wanted to solve the hidden dangers, but he unexpectedly brought himself into greater trouble. Even if he wanted to hide, he couldn't hide for long."

"Yes. The more noise he makes, the harder it will be to end it."

The two people talked about Lu Yuxuan, and for a moment, the atmosphere was harmonious.

Finally, Jiang Zhaofang asked about her injuries, and she raised her hand, "It's nothing, just an external injury."

Jiang Zhaofang said: "You are so calm. You have lost so much blood, but you are still as steady as a rock."

She smiled, but there was loneliness in her eyes. When she was younger than Wan Jie'er, she had experienced something like this, more than once.

Over time, I developed this calmness.

To put it nicely, it means being calm in the face of things; to put it bluntly, it means being numb.

Not to mention that it was Wan Jieer who was kidnapped, even if she herself was kidnapped, she would still be able to remain calm.

It was very cold at night and she was wearing little, so she shivered.

Jiang Zhaofang quickly asked her to go back to her room to rest. "Well, it's quite late. You should go back and rest. I, I'll go back."

Jiang Zhaofang was talking as he walked, and for a moment he didn't pay attention and bumped into the pomegranate tree planted in the yard.

This really made her laugh. It seemed that Jiang Zhaofang was not as arrogant as she had imagined, relying on his noble status. Instead, he was no different from an ordinary person.

It's not that she has too deep a prejudice against princes and nobles, but during these years in the palace, those nobles have cast too many shadows on her.

On the second day, the Lady of Huiyang County rushed to the Earl's Mansion again and scolded Lu Yuxuan, "He really wants to kill your whole family. I didn't know how you had wronged him that he attacked you again and again, and even didn't let go of Wan Jie'er. Is there no way to deal with him? Didn't the court send people to investigate his fake death? How dare he..."

Lin Weiqiao said: "He just wanted to get rid of his wife as soon as possible. I think he guessed that we were the ones who spread the news of his fake death. In his opinion, it was his wife who wanted to investigate his fake death. Without his wife, naturally no one would care about him."

"Tsk tsk, I thought he was a good-looking man at first, but I didn't expect that he is a beast in human clothing? Can't we find him and hand him over to the court for punishment?"

"Alas, that's the problem. We can't find him. And he and my lady are still husband and wife. If he is convicted, the entire Bo's Mansion will be implicated. So I discussed with my lady that since he hasn't shown up yet, it's better to cut off ties with him first."

“How do I clear myself of this?”

"Heli."

"Heli?"

"Yes, we can't divorce without him showing up. But we can take this opportunity to leave the Lu family."

This is a bit beyond what Huiyang County Lord can bear.

According to Lin Weiqiao, if the divorce is not possible, she should leave the Lu family first, draw a clear line with the Lu family on the surface, and let the court and the people know Yu Muyan's determination.

Since Yu Muyan was a lady of noble title, she could write directly to the emperor and ask to leave, but she still had to ask the Huiyang County Lady's opinion first.

After a long while, Huiyang County Lord nodded and said, "Look, I was confused too. You almost lost your life, but I didn't think of letting you leave. No matter what the public opinion is, you and your children can't stay in this Bo's Mansion and the Lu family. It's just that the current situation is too complicated, so I went to the Queen to test it for you first."

Yu Muyan nodded, "Then I'll trouble you, aunt."

"Why are you being so polite? The Queen will ask about the fake death later..."

"Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to hide."

"But if that person doesn't show up, this is just your one-sided statement. If you cause the palace to punish you..."

"I know that, but black is black and white is white. I can punish him temporarily, but he can't hide forever."
