Chapter 339: Imagination

Lu Lingqi sneaked towards the back door, but after taking a few steps, she saw Yan appear.

Yan smiled and said, "Ling'er, where are you going?"

Lu Lingqi touched her head and said, "The weather is nice today. My daughter wants to go to the backyard wall to see the scenery."

Yan sneered and said, "No way, you want to sneak out!"

Seeing that her intentions were exposed, Lu Lingqi said angrily: "Master has moved out and doesn't come to teach me martial arts!"

"I heard that he lives in a house not far away. I want to go and take a look."

After hearing this, Yan pulled Lu Lingqi back and said, "Don't even think about it!"

"The city is not peaceful right now. Even Madam Du disappeared for no apparent reason. Maybe there are spies in this mansion!"

"Everyone seems to be fine now, but in fact, they are all worried. This time they attacked Madam Du, what if they attack us next time?"

"You are the only descendant of the Lu family. If something happens, how can I explain to your father?"

Lu Lingqi smiled secretly in her heart. It was she who planned Madam Du's escape. Lu Lingqi still feels very proud when she thinks about it.

Including Lu Bu, everyone suspected that there was a traitor in the mansion, but little did they know that the traitor was Lu Lingqi herself.

Lu Lingqi suddenly remembered that abominable Yang Chou, who looked so disgusting and yet coveted Madam Du, was really clueless!

Thinking of this, she said to Yan: "I heard that Yang Chou has always coveted Madam Du. Did he not bear it and kidnapped Madam Du?"

"Let my father arrest him and torture him severely. He will definitely confess immediately!"

Yan said helplessly: "Child, I don't know what you are thinking. Isn't it because Madam Du doesn't want to marry him that you also hate him?"

"He is a general under Zhang Yang. I asked Madam Du to marry him for your father's sake. Why not make friends with Zhang Yang?"

"Who would have thought that a good thing would end up like this, with both sides embarrassed."

"How did this Mrs. Du disappear?"

Lu Lingqi smiled evilly and said, "Who knows what happened? Maybe Madam Du was forced by her mother to remarry, so she ran away?"

Yan said helplessly: "Why are you so ungrateful? Why am I so wary of Du?"

"Look at how beautiful she is. If your father marries her, he will definitely love her very much. If she gives birth to a boy, how can we mother and I have anything to do with the Lu family's property in the future?"

"There is no problem with taking a concubine, but I am afraid that the concubine will be favored more than the wife, and if my offspring are affected, my position as the wife will be threatened!"

"Ling'er, when you get married in the future, you must also be on guard against this. You must be more careful about concubines who are both favored and seductive!"

Lu Lingqi nodded continuously after hearing this, and then asked in confusion: "Mother, that's not right. Our Lu family has no male heir. If no one inherits the Lu family, it will be father who will be upset, right?"

"Besides, I'm about to get married. How can my father taking a concubine be a threat to me?"

After hearing this, Yan was so angry that she stretched out her finger and tapped Lu Lingqi's forehead several times, causing Lu Lingqi's head to sway back and forth like a tumbler.

She said bitterly: "I said you were usually stupid, but now you are smart again!"

"You're so smart, but you can't figure out the simplest things!"

"I just want to have a baby myself!"

Lu Lingqi held her head in her hands, stunned. Her mother is really still strong despite her old age!

No, that's not how it should be said. How should it be said?

Her poor brain began to smoke, but she finally gave up and thought, Madam Du should have arrived in Youzhou by now?

I don't know how she is doing now. Maybe she has already set off to return to her hometown in Bingzhou. I guess we will never see each other again?

At this time, Mrs. Du had indeed entered Youzhou and had arrived at Beixin City.

She lifted the car curtain and saw that the gate of Beixin City was wide open. People were bustling in and out. It was extremely prosperous, which was very different from the atmosphere of Huaicheng.

Although Zhang Yang developed people's livelihood in Hanoi and devoted himself to farming, Hanoi has suffered many natural disasters and locust plagues in recent years. Although it can still hold on, there is inevitably a sense of depressing atmosphere.

But Mrs. Du saw that most of the people coming in and out of Beixin City had smiles on their faces, which was something that could not be faked.

She was a little dazed. This place was located at the border of Youzhou and Bingzhou, and was very similar to her hometown in Bingzhou. But it seemed very different from what it looked like when she left several years ago?

She had been away from her hometown for several years after getting married. At that time, there were starving people everywhere and war was raging. It could be said that people were living in misery.

Although her family was once a middle-class family at that time, they had experienced several natural disasters and had no food left. The whole family was on the verge of starvation, so she married Qin Yilu, a general from Bingzhou who was passing by.

So-called marriage was just that the other party liked me, and I half used force and half coercion to get my parents to agree.

At that time, Mrs. Du didn't want to be a burden to her parents anymore. After Qin Yilu threw a few bags of corn to her parents, she was taken to a horse and headed south to Chang'an.

After that, she had food to eat, and within a year or two she grew from a skinny girl into a gorgeous young woman. After attending several banquets in Chang'an, she was secretly coveted by many people, and even Qin Yilu was caught off guard.

However, precisely because she was so outstanding in appearance, many people suspected that she was Lu Bu's concubine, which led to her having the desire but not the courage to do it.

Yan was also very wary of her, which resulted in Lu Bu never being able to succeed and having to vent his anger on the wives of other generals.

But in Qin Yilu's view, if you can escape the first day, you can't escape the fifteenth day, so he ran away to Yuan Shu, married someone else, and simply abandoned Du.

After going through a difficult period, Mrs. Du finally found an opportunity to escape, but she always felt resentful when she thought of her experience.

I just want to find someone I can rely on and live a peaceful life with. Why is it so difficult?

She looked at the carriage in front of her. Chen Gui, who helped her escape, should be inside.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Du felt uneasy. She heard that Chen Gui was the head of a big family in Xuzhou, and he represented the fierce tiger to negotiate with Lu Bu, so he was obviously highly trusted.

What would I do if he left me behind?

Now she could only hope that the person entrusted by Lu Lingqi had some friendship with Chen Gui. For that person's sake, Chen Gui would allow her to return to her hometown, right?

While Mrs. Du was having wild thoughts, Chen Gui was also having a headache.

The young master sent out an undercover agent and asked me to bring back a woman. What was his intention?

Madam Du is extremely beautiful. The spy was willing to take the risk of exposing his identity and bring her to Youzhou himself. It is very likely that this woman is of great importance!

In other words, this woman is the young master's woman?

Chen Gui also wanted to ask Mrs. Du, but then he gave up the idea. What if he asked something that he shouldn't hear?

If this is really the girl that the young master likes, wouldn't it be asking for trouble if she meddled in his family affairs?

The secret letter said that this woman was related to Yin Hu. Chen Gui didn't know much about Yin Hu. He had only heard the young master talk about Yin Hu a few times, so he tried to guess the cause and effect of the whole incident.

This Madam Du must have an old relationship with Yinhu, and Yinhu is familiar with the young master, so the spy sent by the young master asked him to help rescue Madam Du, just to make friends with Yinhu, right?

Chen Gui felt that he had guessed the truth of the matter, so he rushed back to Beixin City, ready to quickly throw away the hot potato of Mrs. Du.

Soldiers from Beixin City came out and welcomed everyone in. After Chen Gui met Xu You, he learned that almost all the generals under Yuan Xi had come out in full force!

Chen Gui asked, "I have something to report to you, Master. What should I do?"

Xu You had mixed feelings. "If Mr. Han Yu wants to see the young master, I'm afraid he will have to leave the city and enter the northern pass of Black Mountain, two or three hundred miles south. The young master should be confronting the Black Mountain Army there."

"But before the young master left, he said that if Mr. Han Yu came back, he could first be responsible for supervising military equipment and food in Beixin City."

After hearing this, Chen Gui could only say, "I will obey your orders, sir."

He understood that Yuan Xi was worried about Xu You, so he placed him here. However, in Chen Gui's view, this move was more like a warning than a restriction.

Because if Xu Youruo is not a fool, he will not cause any trouble. After all, even if he wants to cause trouble now, who can he find?

Gongsun Zan of Youzhou has been destroyed, and only the Southern Xiongnu and the Black Mountain Army are left around. Is it possible that Xu You can still join them?

Thinking of this, Chen Gui felt a little relieved. After saying goodbye to Xu You, he took Madam Du in a carriage and came to Yuan Xi's mansion.

He guessed that Yuan Xi would definitely leave a confidant to handle internal affairs, but when the other party came out, Chen Gui couldn't help but be stunned. Isn't this Yuan Xi's concubine Cao Xian!

Cao Xian smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Han Yu. Before the young master left, he handed over the affairs of the mansion to me. May I ask what you can do for me, old man?"

Chen Gui then told Madam Du about the incident, and finally said, "The incident involves Yin Hu, but I am not familiar with him. I would like to ask Madam how to deal with it."

Cao Xian's eyes rolled around. She and Cai Zhaoji were the few who knew Yuan Xi's alias.

This is because the young master picked up a girl from outside and didn't dare to send her back to Jicheng, so he brought her to Beixincheng to hide in a golden house?

She felt that she had guessed the truth, and to verify it, she ran to the carriage, lifted the curtain and took a look, which scared Mrs. Du inside.

When Cao Xian saw Mrs. Du's face, he was immediately 100% certain that there was no doubt that the lecherous young master must have fallen in love with her!

She lowered the curtain and said to Chen Gui, "I roughly understand the situation. I will arrange for the lady to stay in the mansion first and make a decision after the young master comes back."

Chen Gui thought that this was indeed the case, and said, "It is done, I will take my leave now."

Mrs. Du heard the conversation between the two parties in the car and wondered if she was being cheated.

It's obvious that he doesn't want to let me go?

Seeing the carriage being pulled into the mansion, Mrs. Du was speechless. Isn't this like escaping from the tiger's den and falling into the wolf's den?

She suddenly shuddered. Who was the person that Chen Gui called "Young Master"?

broken!
