Chapter 128

Sure enough, something happened.

Mrs. Xue heard a report from the maid, saying that she came back from the warehouse, and happened to see the young master’s guard yard escorting two gangsters back. They seemed to have entered the mansion through the back door, and went directly to the young master’s yard.

Mrs. Xue was taken aback, and hurriedly asked the maid to ask clearly. As a result, the maid ran back and replied, saying that they didn’t want to speak without the young master’s instructions. He only said that he would deal with it when the young master came back.

Mrs. Xue can’t help it. Her son has his own ideas in everything. Although he is filial and obedient, she and the master are not in control of whatever he wants to do. I have to admit, I was spoiled a little too much since I was a child.

Mrs. Xue continued to wait until Xue Xuran finally came back. First, I heard the movement of several people entering the yard, and then the maid came running in with a look of surprise. “My lord is back” Before he finished speaking, Xue Xuran entered the room.

“I’ve met my mother.” Xue Xuran calmly saluted. Mrs. Xue saw the maid standing beside him and kept gesticulating outside.

Xue Xuran looked at the direction of her mother’s gaze, and turned her head to look at the maid. The maid quickly withdrew her hand and stood up dignifiedly.

“Mother, the Second Miss of the An family is here, I have to trouble my mother to say hello.” Xue Xuran said.

Mrs. Xue’s maid hurriedly said, “Master’s sedan chair is parked outside the house.”

Mrs. Xue was startled. When the person came, she didn’t lead her into the house, but carried the sedan chair directly to her yard. What does this mean?

Mrs. Xue hurried to the outside of the house, and she saw that Xue Xuran’s sedan chair was parked in the yard, and Xue Xuran’s guards were guarding beside the sedan chair.

Mrs. Xue was stunned, this posture is really quite intimidating, if she lifts the car curtain, won’t she see Miss An Er being **** by all kinds of flowers, right?

Xue Xuran followed Mrs. Xue, cleared her throat and said: “The second girl was robbed on the road, and her appearance is a bit disheveled. Mother finds clean clothes for her and asks her to tidy up, drink some hot tea and talk, I’ll go and have a look first Those bastards.”

As Xue Xuran said, he wanted to go out of the courtyard.

Mrs. Xue has not yet recovered from the shock. Robbed? Ungroomed? Is this talking or fighting in Fuyunlai?

Xue Xuran walked a few steps, then turned around and said, “By the way, mother must not report to the police.”

Mrs. Xue stared: “I have to report to your father.” The matter of reporting to the official is naturally a matter of long-term consideration. If you want to report, it is up to the An family to report it by themselves. Besides, it happened when An Ruoxi met Xue Xuran, and she was taken back to Xue’s residence. If this is not done well, the Xue family will have to bear the blame. As Mrs. Xue said, she gave the maid a wink. The maid understood, and ran out to ask someone to go to the shop to find the master back to his house.

Just report it to your father, this Xue Xuran has no objection, and he can’t stop it. Xue Xuran left with the people in his yard.

Madam Xue saw that there were no more male servants in the yard, so she went forward and said through the sedan chair curtain: “Miss An, it’s me, there is no one outside, would you like to come out?”

An Ruoxi blushed, she could do it if she didn’t want to. In fact, she felt that it would be better if there was a hole in the ground to drill. Drill all the way home from the hole, and never see anyone again.

An Ruoxi lifted the car curtain by herself, came out in embarrassment again, bowed her head and called softly: “Mrs. Xue.”

Mrs. Xue was startled when she saw the blood on her body and the mess all over her body, but she was afraid that An Ruoxi would be frightened again, so she took An Ruoxi’s hand as if nothing had happened and asked calmly, “Have you ever been injured?”

An Ruoxi shook her head, very ashamed: “I have caused trouble for Madam.”

“No trouble, it’s not your fault.” Mrs. Xue said kindly. An Ruoxi felt even more uncomfortable when she heard this. Mrs. Xue didn’t ask what happened, and she didn’t blame her for causing trouble. Not only did she immediately care about whether she was injured, but she also comforted her not to take it to heart, it wasn’t her fault.

She must be a good mother, a good mother-in-law. An Ruoxi suddenly wanted to cry, but unfortunately it wasn’t her mother-in-law.

“I…” An Ruoxi thought she should say something.

“Go into the room.” Mrs. Xue said: “I’ll find you clean clothes, you wash up and drink a cup of hot tea, and let’s talk after you rest, okay?”

An Ruoxi shook her head: “Thank you, Ma’am. I think… I think I should report to the police.”

Madam Xue frowned.

“I…” An Ruoxi bit her lip, “I know who wants to harm me.” It’s embarrassing to say this. They settled down and lured wolves into the house. She, a girl who had not left the court, was murdered by her father’s friend. It was very disgraceful and her reputation was ruined. But An Ruoxi made up his mind, this time he must not let Qian Pei go. “Ma’am, I have to report to the police.”

Mrs. Xue thought for a while, and said: “You little girl, don’t make up your own mind. Since you know who is going to harm you, don’t rush this moment. Our two families almost got married, and you were brought by my son I’m back, I can’t stand by and watch your affairs. Since you’ve already been captured as a villain, then so be it, I’ll send someone to invite your parents over, so that everyone can explain the matter clearly and discuss a countermeasure. How to deal with those villains, whether to repay them Officer, how to report to the officer and listen to what your parents mean, how about it?”

An Ruoxi shook his head. If her parents came, I’m afraid Qian Pei would follow. Even if Qian Pei doesn’t come, she will definitely explain it, her father dare not report to the official. Then everything is back to square one.

Mrs. Xue was not anxious about An Ruoxi’s refusal, but said patiently: “Well, you go into the room, let’s sit down and talk. You tell me what happened, and then I will send you there The county government office.” It’s good to make arrangements after the master comes back.

An Ruoxi was too embarrassed to refuse, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go into the house with Mrs. Xue. Mrs. Xue asked her to change clothes, wash her face, and comb her hair. After a busy meal, she just sat down to drink water and was about to ask questions, when a maid ran in and reported: “Ma’am, Mr. Juncheng came with some arrests. It is said that someone Report to the official that the second girl of the An family was robbed and was rescued by my son, who also arrested the bandits and entered the mansion, the magistrate said that the magistrate ordered him to come and ask the case, and he wanted to take her back.”

Mrs. Xue was taken aback: “Who reported to the official?”

Before the maid could answer, another maid ran in: “Ma’am, Miss An is here.”

An Ruoxi was taken aback: “What is eldest sister doing here?”

The two maids answered together, “I don’t know”, “I don’t know”.

I don’t know who reported to the official, and I don’t know what Ms. Anda is doing here.

The maid who entered the room later added: “Miss An originally said she wanted to see the wife, but after she saw Mrs. Juncheng, she said she wanted to see the young master. Right now, she is talking with Mrs. Juncheng in the hall.”

Madam Xue got up, and said to An Ruoxi: “I’ll go out and have a look first, you sit here for a while.”

An Ruoxi opened her mouth, but before expressing her opinion, Mrs. Xue had already left.

Mrs. Xue came to the hall, An Ruochen seemed to have finished talking with the magistrate, when she saw Mrs. Xue, she was very courteous, and said that she came to disturb her, because Lu Zheng, who was in charge of security by her side, happened to see Mr. Xue rescued her. Her second sister, fearing that the wicked would escape, reported to the official. When she heard the news, she hurried over to visit.

Xia Zhou, the prefect of the county, also met Mrs. Xue, and his words were consistent with An Ruochen’s. It is said that Mr. Lu came to the Yamen to report to the officials, saying that he saw Miss An Er being attacked by bandits, and Mr. Xue rescued her bravely. Lord Lu didn’t know the reason, but seeing the seriousness of the situation, he was afraid that Mr. Xue and Miss An would be murdered again, so he reported to the prefect to send someone to deal with the case as soon as possible. The prefect didn’t see anyone reporting to the officials in Xue’s and An’s mansions, so he sent people to visit the two houses to find out the reasons, and escorted the bandits back to the Yamen for strict interrogation.

Lu Zheng also said a few words aside, confirming that the matter was indeed as An Ruochen and Xia Zhou said.

Mrs. Xue responded politely, looked at An Ruochen a few more times, and was puzzled, wondering if she and the government had some kind of plan together.

An Ruochen said: “Mrs. Xue, I am really sorry for causing trouble to your house. The adults are dedicated to their duties and wholeheartedly for the people, which is really worthy of praise. Since Master Xia is here, why don’t you call my second sister out and let her have a relationship with your lord?” Tell me what happened.”

Mrs. Xue frowned slightly. In her opinion, Xue Xuran should come out to answer her words first. They can explain things clearly, and they don’t have to let a little girl like An Ruoxi face the blame.

Xia Zhou also said: “You have to invite Mr. Xue together. After all, both of you are involved.”

Mrs. Xue was about to instruct the girl to invite the young master out when she received these words, but An Ruochen rushed to say: “Since there are two parties involved, it’s better for Mrs. Xia to ask questions separately.”

Xia Zhou was stunned for a moment. Did this mean that he was worried about the collusion between the sufferer and other witnesses? Xia Zhou was stared at by An Ruochen, so he could only say: “That’s fine.”

Mrs. Xue felt a little unhappy, but she was always kind and kind, and she didn’t want to argue and refute when she was facing the official, so she asked the maid to invite An Ruoxi.

Soon, An Ruoxi came. She saluted everyone nervously. An Ruochen looked at her from a distance, cold and arrogant, and did not have the slightest intention of responding politely to her. Mrs. Xue immediately felt pity for An Ruoxi, she walked over, held An Ruoxi’s hand, and said: “The adults just want to ask questions, don’t be nervous.”

An Ruoxi nodded.

Mrs. Xue pulled An Ruoxi to sit beside her, and said: “Miss An Er encountered a disaster today and was rescued by my son. When you come to me, you are my guest. The adults came here under the orders of the public. It’s a good thing that Ms. An is in charge. But she is a girl after all. She was frightened today, and she can’t do without relatives. I have sent someone to invite her parents. The adults have something to say slowly and give Ms. An calm down and wait for her family.”

An Ruoxi was the victim in the first place, and Mrs. Xue acted as if she was in charge of her. Naturally, Xia Zhou couldn’t be too aggressive, so he quickly said yes. Talked to An Ruoxi for a few words, but the words were tactful and kind, and didn’t get straight to the point.

The maid next to Mrs. Xue had a tacit understanding with Mrs. Xue, and when she heard Mrs. Xue said that she had sent someone to invite Mrs. An’s master, she knew what she meant, and quickly retreated, looking for someone to go to An’s mansion as soon as possible. Just after running out of the hall, he was suddenly grabbed behind him. The maid was startled, but when she looked back, it was An Ruochen.

“Sister, I have to see Mr. Xue right away, please show me the way.” An Ruochen was polite, but she used a little strength to hold the maid’s hand.

Shocked by her aura, the maid led An Ruochen to Xue Xuran’s yard without thinking too much.

When he arrived at the gate of the young master’s courtyard, he realized that the young master is lonely and arrogant. He is not someone who is willing to meet anyone who wants to see him. He was about to say a few words, but he saw Xue Xuran leading the people out in a hurry. Seeing An Ruochen, he immediately said: “Come here All right, come in and talk.”

The servant girl watched in a daze as Miss An hurried into the yard with the young master. The servant next to the young master said: “Go ahead, don’t talk too much about the young master.”

The maid didn’t think about what happened, but remembering Madam’s instructions, she hurried to find someone to go to An’s mansion first.

An Ruochen and Xue Xuran entered the room and started talking before they even sat down.

“Have you tried it? Those people you arrested.”

“Are you looking for someone to report to the police? Are you out of your mind?”

The two spoke at the same time, staring at each other with dissatisfaction. Hou An Ruochen said: “I didn’t ask someone to report to the police. I was worried that Qian Pei would attack the second sister, so I found a reason to ask Brother Lu to look for the second sister. If something happened on the way, he would also protect him for a while. So Coincidentally, he saw you rescued the second sister. He knew that Qian Pei was not a good person. He was afraid that something would happen to the second sister when she returned home, and the matter would be suppressed by An’s family, so he rushed to report to the official. He came back and told me after the report was over. I rushed over.”

Xue Xuran frowned, and said: “Interrogation, it didn’t take much effort, I did it by bluffing and bluffing. The two who were hiding behind the wall were the first to catch them back, saying that Qian Pei told you to come out and rob you in the middle of your speech.” Let’s go, I plan to throw it into the carriage in the back alley. My people searched around, and there was a carriage parked at the intersection of the back alley, but I didn’t see the driver. Maybe I saw someone captured by me, so I ran away.”

An Ruochen said: “There are only two people, how do you rob me?”

“Listen to your tone.” Xue Xuran ridiculed her. But he also had to admit that such a staffing arrangement was indeed a bit sloppy. “Perhaps the other people had the same hands as the coachman, and they ran away when they were alarmed.”

“Where is the person who robbed my second sister?”

“The two bearers sent by Qian Pei. It is said that Qian Pei ordered them to take that idiot to a secluded place, tear her clothes and destroy her reputation, and intimidate her. The reason is that idiot is disobedient.”

An Ruochen sat down and frowned: “Qian Pei is not that stupid.”

Xue Xuran also sat down, “I also think it’s really stupid, but it’s really like what he would do.”

“yes?”

Xue Xuran said: “Isn’t Qian Pei always like this? Self-righteous, absurd and sadistic, reckless about the consequences. He thinks that everyone should curry favor with him, and he will take revenge on those who don’t work with him and don’t follow his instructions. You Go to Zhonglan City, Fu’an County, or even Pingnan County to ask, and those who know him will say so.”

“No, no.” An Ruochen was full of doubts, “He’s not that stupid. He must have some plan.”

Xue Xuran suddenly became interested: “What plan?”

“I don’t know.” An Ruochen’s mind was a little confused, as if something was about to come out, but he couldn’t grasp the clue. “He must have a plan, he is definitely not so stupid.”

Xue Xuran said: “Didn’t he ask your fourth aunt to stop your carriage last time? That was also stupid, but wasn’t he the one who did it? The bearer’s clues were dug out, although he found a reason to escape, but according to me Look, it is because the prefect will protect him. He was assassinated and escaped, but he must be annoyed, so he wanted to teach you a lesson and take revenge on you.” Xue Xuran paused here, and asked: “Who is the assassin? Didn’t you send it?”

An Ruochen rolled his eyes at him: “If I didn’t work for the general, every move I made would be charged to the general’s account. I really think so.”

“Would he deliberately make trouble in the government like this, and take the opportunity to plant the assassin case on you?”

“Put yourself in too?”

“It’s really not necessary.” Xue Xuran said: “That’s because he didn’t expect me to get in the way, thinking that if he tried to attack your sister halfway, he would not be seen by others, and your sister dared not speak up and would not sue him.”

“The point is that I will.” An Ruochen still couldn’t figure out the mystery inside. “He asked someone to rob me, didn’t he? It’s impossible to succeed, and I will definitely bring the matter to the government…”

“Besides, he used your sister’s idiot as disobedience as an excuse to punish her, so there is a possibility that she will report him if she is disobedient…” Xue Xuran also overturned the speculation he just said casually.

The servant outside the door came to report: “My lord, madam has a request. Your Excellency, Juncheng, please go over and ask questions. Also, your lord requests that the captured criminals be handed over to the arresting adults.”

Xue Xuran and An Ruochen looked at each other. Here it is, people are about to hand it over, not only the four Qian Pei’s subordinates, but also An Ruoxi. And things are going the way they should. But what Qian Pei’s plan was, they hadn’t guessed yet.
