My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

"Taken away by someone? By whom?"

Wen Qiqi immediately asked cautiously.

The Lu family had been confiscated, and officials in the court avoided them one by one. Moreover, Lu Zhanyao was exiled to a remote place by the emperor, so he managed to escape...

Given his current status as a criminal, his colleagues in the court should not interact with him privately.

The Lu family doesn't have any relatives in Kyoto, so who would come to take Madam Lu away?

Yan Suo shook his head: "I don't know either. I have never seen those two people. They came in a carriage in a hurry... But it was Lu Zhanyao, Lu Shengshi, and Aunt Mei who personally sent them to the carriage."

She paused and continued, "As soon as Aunt Mei returned to her room, she started crying and looked very scared... Then she called me in and said those words to me, and gave me the fifty taels of silver."

Wen Qiqi lowered her eyes.

"Miss……"

Die Jiu exclaimed softly, Wen Qiqi looked at Yan Suo: "You go out first."

"Yes!"

After Yansuo left, Xinyi and Diejiu asked hurriedly, "Miss, do you have an answer in your mind?"

"Diejiu's analysis should be correct. Lu Zhanyao should have attacked his own mother."

Wen Qiqi looked at Xinyi and Diejiu: "Madam Lu is still in the dark, and Lu Shengshi probably doesn't know either... Only Aunt Mei saw the clues, so she was so frightened that she gave the fifty taels of silver to Yansuo."

"She was afraid that Lu Zhanyao would do something to her."

When Xinyi thought of the time when she was in the Lu Mansion, when Lu Zhanyao and Aunt Mei were in love with each other, she smiled coldly: "She used to take advantage of Lu Zhanyao's affection for her and bullied the young lady! Now she has fallen into this situation, it is her own fault."

"She deserves it! But, she is also a smart person."

Die Jiu said calmly, "Lu Zhanyao is now even plotting against his own mother. If he was really forced, how could he let Aunt Mei go? But...what happened to him? Why would he attack his own mother? In the past, I thought he was a filial son, but I never thought he could do such a thing."

Wen Qiqi stood up and walked towards the yard, while instructing Die Jiu to prepare the horse immediately, and asked Xinyi to notify Wen Xiaoliang to come to see her as soon as possible.

The two girls did not dare to delay, and in a short while, the two horses were brought over.

Wen Xiaoliang looked at Wen Qiqi with a puzzled look: "Sister Qi, where are you taking me?"

"Marquis Jing'an's Mansion."

"Marquis Jing'an's Mansion?"

Wen Xiaoliang smiled and said, "Seventh sister, you forgot. Qin Yu's engagement party is tomorrow, and today is the Jing'an Marquis's mansion hosting a banquet for his family and friends. It's not appropriate for us to go!"

"Seventh sister knows."

Wen Qiqi smiled slightly, pulled Wen Xiaoliang over and said, "But if we don't go, Qin Yu will be regarded as an ominous person before he even enters Jing'an Marquis's Mansion!"

"what?"

Wen Xiaoliang was stunned: "Seventh sister, what you mean is..."

"Let's talk on horseback."

After Wen Qiqi finished speaking, Wen Xiaoliang nodded in agreement, and the two of them jumped on their horses and headed straight for Jing'an Marquis' Mansion.

Along the way, Wen Qiqi explained the whole story to Wen Xiaoliang. Wen Xiaoliang listened carefully to Qiqi's analysis and nodded continuously.

"Seventh sister, I think your guess is correct. If Lu Zhanyao is really so despicable, he is not worthy of being a human being."

"The fine wines for the guests at Jing'an Marquis' Mansion today were all sent by our Wen Mansion."

There is a custom in Kyoto that on the day before a girl gets married, the half-done banquet at her husband's house uses the aged daughter's red wine from her mother's family.

It means that the precious daughter of the mother's family will be sent to the husband's family, like fine wine...

The Wen family specially took out two portions of girl's red wine from the wine cellar this morning, one for the Fourteenth Prince's Mansion, and the other for the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion.

Everyone in Kyoto knows that General Wen loved wine when he was alive. The wine cellar in the Wen Mansion was very exquisite, and the wine stored there was unique in Kyoto!

The Marquis of Jing'an was very happy to receive this big jar of daughter's red wine this morning.

"Seventh sister, if someone tampered with the daughter's red wine sent by our Wen Mansion, then everyone in Jing'an Marquis Mansion will be in trouble today! Lu Zhanyao is too bold!"

Marquis Jing'an is of such a high status that if everyone at the family banquet was poisoned to death, it would certainly alarm the entire capital!

I’m afraid even the emperor would be shocked!

"Isn't Lu Zhanyao afraid of being investigated? If it is found that he is not dead now, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor! The entire Lu family will be in danger even if it is an ant!"

Wen Xiaoliang pulled the reins and moved his horse closer to Wen Qiqi's horse, and the two siblings talked side by side.

"Xiaoliang, although Lu Zhanyao is not a high-ranking official, he is very thoughtful. He will never put himself in danger... I think he must have made arrangements. Jing'an Hou is a filial son. Today, we must toast to the old lady of Jing'an Hou's mansion!"

Wen Xiaoliang looked at Wen Qiqi and frowned, "So... Lu Zhanyao wants his mother to block the drinking for the old lady of Jing'an Marquis?"

"Ah."

Wen Qiqi nodded.

Although she was just speculating on this matter, there shouldn't be any discrepancies.

The only thing she couldn't figure out was what identity Madam Lu had in mind when she appeared at Marquis Jing'an's family dinner today.

The two of them were almost at the gate of Jing'an Marquis's Mansion...

At this time, people kept coming in and out of Jing'an Marquis Mansion. Wen Xiaoliang and Wen Qiqi were very low-key. They tied their horses at the entrance of an alley 500 meters away from Jing'an Marquis Mansion and quietly observed the people coming and going.

"Seventh sister, why do we need to go to such great lengths? Why don't we go to the palace and report to the emperor that Lu Zhanyao is not dead? Can Lu Zhanyao escape the king's law again for his crime of deceiving the emperor?"

Wen Xiaoliang said in a low voice.

Wen Qiqi smiled slightly: "You are right, this is indeed the case. But if we tell the emperor now that Lu Zhanyao is still alive... I am afraid that the black hand behind the scenes will shrink back immediately!"

"..."

When Wen Xiaoliang heard what Wen Qiqi said, he immediately showed an envious look.

"I was still careless. If only I could be as calm and collected as Seventh Sister."

"How old are you? When I was your age, your grandfather often said that I was full of fun. I could only open my eyes wide when I was on the battlefield!"

When Wen Qiqi thought of her youth, she couldn't help but feel an indescribable warmth in her heart.

At that time, she often went to war with her father and brothers.

Her father values ​​her and loves her, so he takes her with him to the war naturally because he wants Wen Qiqi to see more of the world!

With the protection of her father and brother, Wen Qiqi, who was still a young girl, grew up very quickly after several expeditions. In terms of courage and aura, she was already the best among the daughters of the Kyoto generals at that time...

"We in the Wen Mansion are naturally like this. When we go to the battlefield, it's like returning home. We are fearless."

Wen Xiaoliang smiled proudly, and the next second he suddenly looked at a place not far away: "Seventh sister, look over there..."
