Chapter 209 Midnight
"Mom, I want to leave."
Yan Xuehuai saw that Li Qiniang looked peaceful. Sure enough, no matter what decision she made, Li Qiniang would not be surprised.
She paused and continued, "Looking at the current situation in Xinjing, what is the eunuch army, what is the small residence of Bailu Mountain, and what is the nephew of Eunuch Wei. That kid was not dead, he just went to avoid the limelight and went out for a walk. I still could come back. We didn't frame him, but he suffered because of us. You said, can he not take revenge on us when he comes back?"
Li Qiniang's expression finally changed. She held her daughter's hand tightly and said, "But there must be many dangers along the way."
Yan Xuehuai asked, "Mom, if it weren't for me, Ying'er and Xiaoman, you were the only one, would you be afraid?"
Li Qiniang thought about it and shook her head slowly.
Yan Xuehuai smiled and said, "Mom, I'm not afraid. As for Ying'er and Xiaoman, we can ask them. If you want to follow us now, then be prepared for danger. If you don't want to, then stay. Anyway, there is someone to take care of the new house in Wending Hutong, and they don't have a place to live. When the situation stabilizes, it doesn't matter if you pick them up."
"But here is Mrs. Ye, my mother doesn't want to lie to her."
This is also what makes Li Qiniang embarrassed.
She didn't want to deceive Mrs. Ye, but Fusheng was a member of Duke Ding. Not only did he hide the matter of going south, but he also had to hide the identity of Zhou Dazhen's head of the family.
Yan Xuehuai said: "Fusheng will know about my aunt coming today. Maybe he can report to the Duke of the State. What you have to worry more about now is your aunt's safety."
Li Qiniang's face changed drastically, but then she saw the cunning smile on the lips of her baby's daughter. She hurriedly asked, "Don't scare my mother, have you already got a solution?"
Yan Xuehuai smiled and said, "You are underestimating your aunt. Can she come here? Can you not know whose house this is? Is there a guard sent by the Duke of Ding in this house? Since she is still here, she must have prepared in advance. Didn't you notice that the ten guards didn't move all night?"
Li Qiniang was stunned. Indeed, the guards were too quiet tonight. She asked, "Where are those guards?"
"Sleep soundly." Yan Xuehuai said.
Li Qiniang breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself that she was too careless.
In fact, it’s not that Li Qiniang is careless, but that she has no experience in this area.
Yan Xuehuai is different. She has not had many other experiences, but she has never done this experience with her own hands and has seen it with her own eyes.
"Then we..." Li Qiniang hesitated. She knew that this matter could not be delayed. The guards were not ordinary people. After a sleep inexplicably, they would be suspicious.
Yan Xuehuai said: "Mom, you are in a state of unstable mood today. You sleep well for a night and think about it when you wake up. We will ask Ying'er tomorrow before you make a decision."
"Okay." Li Qiniang breathed a deep breath. Her daughter was right. She was so excited today. She really needed a sleep before making a decision.
Yan Xuehuai fell asleep as soon as she hit the pillow, but Li Qiniang tossed and turned, and still couldn't sleep in the middle of the night.
At this moment, she heard something like it was moving in the yard. After listening, she heard the voice of Pearl: "No need to look, it must be fine."
Li Qiniang put on her clothes and stood up, walked out of the main hall, pushed the door open, and asked, "Pearl, what's wrong?"
Hearing the sound, Pearl hurriedly said, "It's the guard, let me come over and see if there is anything."
Li Qiniang understood. It turned out that the ten guards in the yard "slept" and woke up. As expected, they felt that this sleep was strange. They were outsiders and it was not convenient to enter the inner yard, but they called Zhenzhu to check it out.
"Thank you for your hard work, we have nothing to do here, you all go and rest."
Pearl agreed and went up to the hand-copying porch to walk towards the yard in front.
Li Qiniang closed the door, and her daughter was right, and she had to make a decision as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Li Qiniang was awakened again after she fell asleep.
Someone knocked on the door, and the one who came was Feiyuwei!
"Is this Qi Fusheng's home?"
The guard said in a deep voice: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"That's right. Feiyuwei was ordered to handle the task and open the door!" The people outside shouted loudly.
The guard said in the door: "We are the guards under the command of Duke Ding and are ordered here. Without the orders of Duke Ding, you cannot enter."
Feiyuwei outside sneered repeatedly: "Duke Ding rebelled, you are all traitors, come and break the door!"
Feiyuwei was familiar with these things, and the gate was knocked out from outside and the mountain was clattered.
Li Qiniang was the first to get up. When she put on her clothes and came out to check again, she was hitting the running pearl.
"Boss, Feiyuwei is here."
"What's going on?" Li Qiniang first thought of Zhou Dajia, so she must not have something to do with her sister.
"They said that Duke Ding rebelled, and they might be coming to search for Fusheng." Pearl said in a low voice.
"Impossible, how could the Duke of the State rebellion?" Li Qiniang shook her head, but she knew that she would not be questioned at this time. She said to Zhenzhu, "You are optimistic about Sister Huai and Ying'er, I'll go and see the old lady."
"Abian has already called Wujie and Wu Rui. Don't worry, boss lady, I will protect Miss Yan." Zhenzhu said, and then knocked on the window in Yan Xuehuai's house.
Li Qiniang heard Yan Xuehuai's voice coming from the room, and then ran to the backyard.
The elderly were not sleeping heavily and woke up after a little movement. When Li Qiniang finally entered the yard, Mrs. Ye had already sat up. As soon as Li Qiniang knocked on the door, Mrs. Ye called Mo Yu, who was sleeping in the small bed.
Li Qiniang hurriedly said the news that the pearl had just been sent in. Mo Yu's face changed drastically and she kept saying, "How is that possible?"
Mrs. Ye looked at her and said, "What is impossible for the eunuch party to cause trouble?"
Li Qiniang felt a sank in her heart. She just felt that it was impossible, but now after Mrs. Ye said this, she felt that everything was possible.
She didn't understand the affairs of the court, but a loyal general like Yue Fei was still killed by the treacherous minister Qin Hui.
Besides, the young emperor is still a child and doesn't know anything. The Empress Dowager has the final say. If the Empress Dowager is a wise man, he will not have formed a military force of eunuchs. Good people will be arrested and become eunuchs.
Li Qiniang's ideas represent ordinary people.
The people in Xinjing City cannot see the chaos outside. Their lives are even richer than before the war. They do not understand the disputes in the court. What they see is the arrest of eunuchs. Because of this, young men dare not go out and do not dare to open good shops. Even vegetables and meat have to be bought by robbing them.
The incident of internal military affairs has directly affected the lives of the people.
"Old lady, Young Master Fusheng hasn't been back for several days. He won't have any trouble, right?" Mo Yu said crying.
Mrs. Ye looked at her and said, "Look at your promising prospects. If my grandson has been arrested, then the old man will go to sue the emperor. If he runs away, the old man hopes for his peace and safety. I have never experienced anything in my life. The ups and downs have come. What's the big deal? What's the point of crying and crying."
After hearing Mrs. Ye say this, Li Qiniang's nervous mood finally relaxed.
No wonder some people say that if there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure, if something really happens, an old man like Mrs. Ye is the Dinghai Shen Needle at home.
