The Concubine's Daughter Travels Through Time and Space and Takes the Road of Confrontation

Ever since the last time the wife of the official was caught in the study by her little daughter, Lu Lingcong asked Zhusheng to watch the courtyard gate and report to him immediately if he saw the wife of the official's carriage so that he could get away in time to avoid embarrassment.

"Master, the wife of Marquis Cheng'en and the wife of Guan are here to wish the old lady a happy new year." After hearing Zhusheng's report, Lu Lingcong immediately stood up from behind the desk and walked out.

In Yannianyuan, several ladies stood and exchanged greetings for a while before sitting down and starting to talk.

"Old lady, there have been a lot of rumors in the capital recently. You must take care of yourself." Hou seemed concerned, but there was something else she meant.

The old lady looked sad when she heard this and said, "Oh, let's not talk about this during the New Year." She looked like she didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Seeing that Hou wanted to say something more, Qin smiled and changed the subject, "Excuse me for being frank, but I heard you say before that you wanted to find a good family in Beijing for your little aunt. I wonder if you have made any progress on that."

Mrs. Hou seemed afraid that her sister-in-law would be embarrassed to hear this, so she smiled and patted her hands before saying, "Well, to be honest with you, Madam Qin, her brother and I found several families for her a few years ago, but we were not very satisfied with any of them. Either they were too old, or they were country families like landlords and wealthy people. Although they were younger, they were not presentable at all." In fact, according to their family background, it was not like this. In order to gain sympathy, Mrs. Hou deliberately said something very unbearable.

Sure enough, the old lady frowned immediately after hearing this. "With Siwei's character and appearance, these people are not worthy of her. It's not right."

Qin smiled and said, "I do have one, and I wonder if Madam Hou would like to hear it."

"Oh, Mrs. Qin, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us now." Hou urged her hurriedly.

"The current Imperial College's chief academic officer, Lord Lu, is forty-eight years old and has remained single for many years. A few days ago, I heard from Cheng's wife that Lord Lu has repeatedly lamented the lack of support for his daughter's family after she got married, suggesting he may be considering remarrying."

Hou glanced at her sister-in-law and knew that she was unhappy. Compared with Master Lu, this Lord Lu was indeed much inferior. "Lord Lu is good in everything, but he is a little old. My sister-in-law is only in her early thirties. It would be better if he was seven or eight years younger." Hou was very embarrassed.

Guan, who had been sitting silently, looked up at the old lady with red eyes. "I'm sorry to have let you worry about me, sister-in-law. It doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, I just want a child to support me in the future."

Maybe it was New Year's Day, today Guan was wearing a light blue gown with a stand-up collar and wide sleeves embroidered with pink and white lotus flowers. She wore a few small pink and white silk lotus flowers crookedly on her head, and a jade hairpin inserted diagonally. She was pretty and elegant, and looked to be only in her twenties.

The old lady agreed very much, "This woman has two supports in the world, one is her husband, and the second is her children. Lord Lu is good in every way, but he is too old." It might not be easy for Siwei to have a child.

Siwei and Lingcong were a good match in age, but there was also a young daughter-in-law whose life and death were unknown. The old lady went over the words in her mind several times, then remembered what her youngest son had said, and she kept silent.

Hou Shi felt uneasy. Could there be news about Zhang Shi? This thought was like a ball of thread tangled in her heart, disturbing her uneasy mind. So she carefully probed, "I heard from the master that Dingyuan Bo's Mansion sent someone to Luzhou a few years ago and brought someone back. I don't know-"

The old lady was shocked when she heard this and looked at Qin. "Is there such a thing?"

This was the first time Qin had heard of this. She hadn't socialized much since her daughter got married. "Old lady, I haven't heard anyone say this either. Does Madam Hou know the inside story?"

After confirming that Madam Zhang had not been found, Hou was slightly relieved. "I only heard a few words from the master. I only knew that he went to pick someone up, but I didn't know who he picked up." This was the truth. Ever since the death of the empress and the estrangement of the prince, their family had become less and less conspicuous in the capital.

Guan said softly, "Don't worry, old lady. If we find the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, we will inform you immediately. Madam Zhang is a lucky person. It's not surprising that we can't find it in Luzhou, which is full of mountains."

"But how could they find him?" the old lady said, her brow furrowed as she spoke her mind. "Even if he broke his leg and couldn't come back for a while, he should have sent someone to pass on the news." Her face was already showing a hint of anger as she spoke.

Seeing that something was wrong, Qin was about to try to persuade them when she saw Xiaoyu walk in from outside with a letter in her hand.

Seeing this, Hou stood up and said goodbye. The old lady did not keep them any longer and asked Qin to personally send them to the gate.

As soon as she sent them away, Qin was called back. The old lady looked terrified. "I don't know who sent the letter just now, saying that Zhang was in danger of being killed because she had leverage over the prince. She lost her life a month ago."

Qin was shocked, "How could it be?" No matter what, she couldn't believe that her sister-in-law would actually do such a thing. He was the prince!

The old lady burst into tears and said hatefully, "I told him to divorce his wife, but now he doesn't listen. Look at what his wife has done with such audacity. It would have been better for her to die, but she is also a burden to the family, and even caused my poor grandson to lose his life." After that, she started to cry.

Although Qin was afraid, she was also chilled by what her daughter-in-law said. "Old lady, what's the point of saying this now that it has happened?"

Mei'an, "Has the letter been delivered?" Guan asked while standing in the corridor.

"Madam, it has been delivered. I saw with my own eyes that the maidservant beside the old lady of the Marquis of Ping'an's mansion received the letter." Yinping answered carefully.

Guan smiled. She hadn't intended to use this trick. They were so ungrateful. She had come to their house so many times but they still refused to give in. Since that was the only way, this was the only way.

Zhang had been missing for so long, who knew if she was dead or disabled? Once she became the new Second Madam of Lu, it would be a done deal, and she wouldn't be afraid even if Zhang came back alive. She was the Crown Prince's aunt, and according to the old lady's temperament, she would only hold her in high esteem.

A woman who offended the crown prince had no choice but to be divorced and sent home.

As if she had already seen the wonderful scene of herself being carried into the marquis's mansion in a sedan chair carried by eight people, Guan chuckled softly.

Master Jingxuan stood in the dark, her calm eyes staring quietly at the scene in the courtyard, and finally she quietly disappeared.

As soon as Master Lu Er left the house, he was stopped and asked to board a carriage. The carriage bumped out of the city gate and headed west. Finally, the carriage stopped and a familiar face looked inside. "Brother-in-law."

It turned out to be his wife's younger brother. Lu Lingcong finally let go of the worry that had been weighing on his mind all the way. He got out of the car and looked outside. When he saw it, he was stunned.

"Madam? It's really you, Xuemei." Zhang smiled and stepped forward to hold his hand. "Master, I'm back."

Seeing his wife and children safe and sound, and thinking of the worry and fear he had experienced these days, Lu Ling burst into tears and hugged his wife tightly and cried.
